WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 28.—Not since the days of the Chilian difficulty has there been 80 much desire for news as was apparent to- day, following the announcement from San Francisco that the Queen of Hawall had been Gethroned, a provisional republic proclaimed and that commissions were enroute here to push the claimsof the new government for annexation to the United States. Quickly following the press bulletin came @n official dispatch to Minister Mott Smith conveying the news, Heat once repaired to the State Department and made Secretary Foster acquainted with the change in his government. The interview be- tween the Secretary of State and the Hawalian Minister continued for some time in the diplomatic room of the State Department. At its close Secretary Boster went over to the White House and had @ conference v sth President Harrison. While, of curse, no statement of the policy to be pur ed by the United States in the matter will be made, at least until after the arrival ofthe Commissioners from Hawai! who are to present the request for annexa- tion to the United States, it may be said that the visit of the Hawaiians will hardly be successful if the purport thereof has been correctly stated. Aside from the innovation upon the policy of the Government since its organization which the annexation would be. the interests of other countries in the Sandwich Islands are too large to permit from the government of those nations an acquiescence in such annexation. It would involve consequences which the United States would not care and which its long settled policy forbids it to assume. Secretary Foster has been advised in a supplemental dispatch that a commission has been sentto the United States seeking the annexation of the Hawatian islands by this Government, andthereis every reason to believe that this is the result sought to be achieved by the Revolutionists, Secretary Tracy received a dispatch early this morning informing him of the landing oftroops from the Boston and intimating that some steps should be taken to increase the United States naval force now at Hono- lulu. NAVAL STRENGTH AT HONOLULU. Secretaries Foster and Tracy at once held a consultation with the President, but it was not decided to augment our naval strength at this time. Owing to the preparations for the great naval review at Hampton Roads and New York harbor the Navy Department has brought allof its first-class vessels, except the Boston, around tothe Atlantic coast,leav- ing on the Pacific station only three small vessels—the Mohican, Adams and Ranger— recently employed in policing the Behring Sea. These vessels are now at San Francisco but can not be ready tor sea under several days. The Adams and Mohican can sail next Tuesday if necessary, Dut the Ranger must undergo repairs before she can be made sea- worthy. There wassometalk at the Navy Department to-day of hastening the work on the coast defender Monterey, which is now at San Francisco, but it is not believed the pres - ence of such a vessel at Honolulu is necessary at this time. | She would require at least thirty days to re- ceive her turrets and with her comparatively low rate of speed could not reach the islands under ten days more. Mr. Mott Smith, who has filled the post of Hawaiian Minister at this capital tor the past two years, confirmed the dispatches from San Francisco in regard to the commis- “sion said to be on the way to Washington seeking he annexa- tion of the Hawallan Islands to the United States. He exchanged his dis- patches with those received by Secretary Foster this morning and visited the State De- partment twice to-day, holding brief confer- ences with the Secretary. Mr. Smith was not inclined to discuss, for publication, the situation at Honolulu, but finally made the following briefly prepared statement: In 1887 the King of Hawall was given al- most absolute power. He could appoint and dismiss his members at will and had no restrictions upon his acts. This, of course, could not last, and the people took this power away from King Kalakau and adopted a new constitution which he was obliged to sign, The native element has always chafed under the limitation which was thus on their ruler. Yielding to these mutterings of discontent, the Queen, I suppose, very foolishly attempted to put the old order of things in force. There are too many Yankees and Englishmen in the kingdom, however, to submit to this, and as a consequence, she now «finds -frerself dethroned and her country practi- cally a republic.“ There is every reason to believe that the revolution has been fomented by members of a secret commission who visited the United States some time ago and spent sev- eral months in the effort to induce President Harison and the members of his Cabinet to take certain steps toward annexation, which the President was assured would be met promptly by the citizens of the Hawalian Is- lands. . | PRESIDENT HARRISON'S MESSAGE. Mr. Harrison was not inclined to make any move looking to the acquisition of the islands, but his subsequent messages to Congress indicate that his attitude toward the project was decidedly friendly. In the course of his annual message to Congress December, 1891, the President said: The death of King Kalakaus in the United States a . es accorded oceasion to testify oar friendship for Hawe. by "se body to his own conveying land in s naval vessel With al} due honors, The gov- f erament of his. successor, Gusen LIliuo- Kalani, is seeking to closer com- mercial relations with the United States. Surveys for the mach submarine cable from oar Pacific Coast to Honoldlu ere in progress, and this enterprise should have the suitable promotion of the two Governments. I strengly recommend tha? provisions be made for improving the harbor of Pearl Riverand equipping it as a naval station. Last December the President repeated this recommendation in even stronger terms. He | said: Our relations with Hawaii have been such as to at- tract an increased interest and must continue to do so. I deem it of great importance that the projected submarine cable, a survey for whieh has been made, should be promoted. Both for naval and commercial uses we should have quick communication with Honolula. You should before this have availed ourselves of the concession made many years ago to our Government for a harbor and naval station at Pear! River. Many evidences of the friendliness of the Hawai- lan government have been given in the past and it 16 gratifying to believe that the advantage and neces- sity of tne continuance of very close relations is ap- preciated. l The proposition of the annexation of the Hawalian Islands was the subject of much discussion at the Capitol to-day, where the news was received shortly before noon. Congressman Chipman of Michigan, a prom- inent member of the Foreign Affairs Com- mittee, said: This incident points to one result, the ultimate annexation of the Hawalian Islands by the United States. There is every reason in the world why the islands should jointhe Union, and Iam satisfied that the great majority of the Islanders favor annexation and are really anxious to come under our government. Whiiel have no pesitive or direct in- formation on the subject, I am satisfied in my own mind that this revolution has been fomented in the interest of the government looking te annexation. I have received no intimation as to the foreign policy of the incoming administration, but I am quite prepared to learn that Mr, Cleveland will favor the annexing of the island and will take important steps in that di- rectioninthe near future. I makethis statement on my authority and as a deduction which I draw from the general drift of affairs. CALIFORNIA FOR ANNEXATION, Congressman Geary of California, a mem- ber of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said: **There is nothing in which California took greater interest than in the possible annexa- tion of the Hawaiian Islands. By our location and important relations, which naturally have more at stake than any other part of the United States, we hesitate to state that we are in favor of annexation. Our commerce with the islands is very large and annexa- tion would bring us a great advantage, but there are somethings to be considered. If we should annex the Hawalian Islands, we would have to provide a government and protect 1 against the world. fhe same policy would also dictate the annexation of Cuba and other insular territory. Canada is not in thegsame category with small countries that are not attached to this con- tinent, but the annexation of any additional territory would mean the assumption by this Government of grave responsibilities that might more than offset the advantages to be secured. Another important question is the attitude of foreign governments toward the policy ofannexation if we should adoptit. We have always maintained the Monroe doctrine as an important part of our national political faith and tnis would certainly be a departure which would re- quire explanation to foreign governments, We have maintained that no other Govern- ment has a right to interfere with any of the little nations on this continent, yet if we should go about the world absorbing small countries and adding them to our territory we would cer- tainly lay ourselves open to the broad charge of inconsistency, to put it mildly. Annexa- tion isa most serious ques will do well to study closely before adopting it as a policy. Congressman Andrews of Massachusetts, member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said: On general principles I am opposed to annexation, but in the case of Hawalian Islands there may be certain important considerations which would make it very de- sirable for the United States to control them, The strategic importance of the islands may be shown to be far greater than we have be- lievea. If this is true the fact will probably be shown in connection with the upris- ingonthe island, and the light thrown on the affair will doubtless indicate whatever action may be necessary to be taken. We have for some time considered a propo- sition to subsidize a cabletothe Hawaiian Isiands, but I don’t think the scheme has strength enough to get through Congress. In a general way the Democratic party is opposed to subsidy of all sorts. A cable laid by private capital would no doubt be a very desirable thing. THE ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE SENATE. The Senate had not been in session more than an hour when Mr. Morgan announced the intelligence of the Hawalian revolution to the Senate. Although it could only be considered in an informal manner a debate was at once precipitated that occupied the greater part of the secret session. Generally the speeches seemed to favor annexation, . or the establishment of a protectorate. In opposition to these views 1: was as- serted that the debt of Hawall amounted to more than $3,000,C00, which was sufficient to to cause this Government to halt before as- suming that load. It was also stated by other Senators that when we secured our. coaling Station at Pearl River years ago, there was an agreement under which England, Ger- many and the United States and the other powers agreed that they should keep their hands off and permit Ha wali to run her own affairs. In controverting this statement it was claimed that while there may have been a tacit understanding in that direction, it was not such a contract between powers as would preclude the United States, in the event of a request from the Government of Hawaii, from exer- cising the power of annexation, if indeed there had been any understanding on the subject. In support of the presump- tion that there was no agreement it was shown that England had deen for & year or 80 quietly but indus- triously making inroads in the islands and creating a feeling among the people of that country which was harmful and extremely prejudicial to the interests of United States and her citizens whohad invested their money in the enterprise that were develop- ing the islands and increasing their trade and commerce. The matter will, no doubt, be before the Senate in the usual way in the course of a few days and an extended debate will be the result. OUR PAST POLICY, — In the past the policy of the United Sta tes toward Hawaii has been directed with a view to preserve its independence and prevent the encroachment of foreign nations, especially of England and Germany. These powers have long sought to establish a protectorate Over the islands. The late King Kalakaua believed that the future welfare ot the Sandwich Islands de- manded annexation to the United States,and it is said that the purpose of the journey dur- ing which he died was to sell his kingdom to us. He had always manifested friendship toward this country, though the aid he got from America was not always beneficial. When he was here in 1874 a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Hawali was concluded. Money thereupon poured into Hawali from this country, and a period of extravagance in pubjic and private affairs began there, only to be followed by a de- pressing reaction, Kalakaua began a tour around the world in 1881. He was received at all the principal courts as an equal, but tife only political result was a convention with Japan. The long journey, however, en- larged the King’s ideas, developed his ambi- | 4 tion and one we | tion for power and sharpened his taste for regal display and military parade. When he returned, after 1683, his adminis- tration was loose and wasteful, attended by many forms of official corruption and legis- lative jobbery. Kalakaua had dismissed his missionary advisers early in his reign, and after his round-the-world travel fell into the hands of soothsayers, reverted to barbaric customs, revived pagan rites and dances, and let his native subjects relapse into their old habits of vice and sloth. Great sums of money were borrowed, the pal- ace was built, and when Claus Spreckels, the sugar king of San Francisco, after loaning $750,000 for the Government’s ex- penses, refused to loan more, the King’s agents negotiated a Britith loan of $10,000,000, Political dissensions interfered with the suc- cessful accomplishment of this scheme as originally proposed; but, nevertheless, the Kalakaua party obtained loads of gold and squandered it most lavishly for useless and immoral objects. The celebration of the King’s 60th birthday used up $75,000 and the funeral ofa relative $60,000. Large sums were taken by the royal family and wasted, and other considerable amounts were appro- priated for fictitious purposes. m THE ASCENSION OF LILIUOKAIANI. | The accession of Queen Lilivokaiani as Kalakaua’s successor was the signal for re- newed activity among intriguers who sought to advance interests other than those of the United States. The party desiring to secure control of the island in the interests of En- gland, especially, saw an opportunity for doing effective work. The Queen herseif was supposed to be friendly tothe British Gov- ernment, but a still more important point in their favor wasthe fact that the Princess Kaluianl, the heiress apparent to the throne, isof English descent on her father’s side, and that her father, Mr. Cleghorn,is a bosom friend of the British Minister. Since the neathof Kalakaua the country has never been for a great length of time free from revolts and uprisings by discontented spirits anxious fora change of government. The leaders in several of these attempted revolutions was Robert Wilcox, ahalf-breed, but shrewd and ambitious. In 1889 he con- spired in behalf of the King, seeking to re- store the old corrupt palace government which had obtained under the former part of King Kalakauva’s reign. Two years previously there was a movement which com- pelled the King to sign a constitution Iimit- ing the much-abused privileges and taking from him the almost absolute control of the government which he had previously en- joyed,and vesting it in a cabinet and the leg - islative bodies. The Wilcox Insurrection was put down with the loss of two or three lives of the insurgents. Although the present Queen, then heir apparent, was supposed to be a leader in this movement, on coming to the throne she graciously accepted the re- strictions imposed on her brother in 1887. Wilcox lost her favor, and since then has been advocating schemes locking to his own elevation. The mainstay of the authorities has been the British and American war vessels in the harbor. These are always called one incase of disorder, and always respond, their disci- plined landing parties and serviceable weap- ons quickly putting an end to trouble. NATIVES DYING OUT. The native Hawalians are dying out, as did the Maoris of New Zealand, and from much the same causes. There are now about 40,000 full-blooded natives on the islands, and about 8,000 half castes. The former are de- creasing atthe rate of about 2 per cent a year, and it is estimated that they will prac - tically disappear asa race in about thirty years. Except in the rural dlistricts. the natives appear averse to raising families, and physical degeneracy and dissi- pation is doing the rest. It is believed that 00 yoars ago, when Capt. Cook dis- covered the islands, they supported a popu- lation of 400,000. Even the most conservative estimates place tne number at not less than 300,600. To the simple islanders of that period the discoverers were supernatural beings who breathed name andsmoke, They Delieved that Cook was the great God Lono, and worshiped him as such. The famous King Kamehameha had atthat time but re- cently, after years of desperate fighting, re- duced the various islands toa single confed- eration with allegiance to himself. The Hawaiian Archipelago comprises a group of eight inhabited islands, 2,000 miles southwest of San Francisco. They have an area of 6,480 square miles, being about equal to Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware combined, and having a population twice the size of that of the least populous State of the Union, Nevada, and considerably more than the last admitted State of Idaho, The chief city is Honolulu, the capital, with a pop- ulation of 23,000. The government is at pres- ent a limited constitutional monarchy witha form as to its royal branch superficially like that of England, but with a constitution modeled after that of the United States. Ex- ecutive power is vested in four ministers ap- pointed by the sovereign. The Legislature consists of two bodies of twenty-four mem- bers each, the Upper House being composed of nobles who are elected by voters having a annual income of $600,and who are able to read and write. Theelectors of the Lower House must be able to read and write and pay at least $5 annually in taxes. . The annexation claimants in the Unt States point to the fact that the value of Hawalian imports during 1891 was nearly $7,000,000, the exports for the same period were valued at $12,282,000, making a total for- eign commerce of over $20,000,000, or $225 for each inhabitant, a larger per capita than that of any other country on earth. Over 50 per cent of this trade was done with the United States, and 73 per cent of the carrying trade was done by American ships. The principal industry is the growth and manu- facture of sugar. The amount of capital in- vested in sugar plantations is over $33,000,000, of which about $25,000,000 belong to Ameri- cans, the balance being held by the British, Germans and other nationalities. WHAT THEY WANT. THE INSTRUCTIONS OF HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION COMMISSIONERS. SAN Francisco, Cal., Jan. 28.—The com- missioners from the provisional Government of Hawall went to the Occidental Hotel this morning. They expect to start for Washing: ton to-morrow night. The commission is composed of Lorrin A. Thurston, Wm. C. Wilder, OC. L. Carter, Wm. R. Castle and J. Marsden. The-five members of the commis- sion goon to Washingtou to-morrow, said Mr, Carter, in conversation witha reporter. What are your instructions?““ „Well, Ican’t say precisely, but you know weare goingto Washington to endeavor to negotiate a plan forthe annexation of the Hawalian Islands to the United states. Upon what terms do you wish to enter the Union?’’ We would rather not come in asa State. What we most desire isa territorial connec- tion with the United States. We would like acommission anda Governor appointed by the Presivent orlocal government having the same general features of both those of Utah and of the District of Coluefbia.’’ **Don’t you desire Congressional repre- sentation?’’ We would desire a voice in national coun- ells, but would not ask a vote in Congress, preferring to adopt the same system as ex- ists in your Territories. „But wouldn’t you prefer statehood to territorial connection?’’ „The white element in Hawaii is in a hope- less minority, numerically. The native vote have concluded that the less dallotting there is the better it will be for the islands. In brief, we think it wise to take the direct 3 of Hawau out ot the hands ot the residents, which means that we don’t isanything but an intelligent one, and we — wish to be subjected to the ignorant will of ee element.’’ . who should be Hawallan, at least, by adop- tion?“ . “Undoubtedly — gu, of course, we 8 ‘a intmen t to the Presi- e gubernatorial candidates No. Tou see, the government ig contin- gent upon the success of our mission, and we are attending to one thing at a time. When Mr. Thurston's name was suggested for such an honor, in the event of Hawatian annexation, Mr, Oarter smiled, but declined to commit himself by verbal response. Is the commission empowered to con- clude a definite scheme of annexation, Mr. Carter?’’ No, the commissioners will confer with the Washington officials, and will suggest our plan, as I have outlined it. The result of the conference will be reported to the Pro. visional Government af Honolulu before any definite action is taken. „What is the attitude ot the foreign resi- dents of the islands?“ Almost all support the provisional gov- ernment. The Germans desire annexation, as do many of the English, one of their num- ber being a member of our commission. All of the foreign Ministers, except the British andthe Japanese, have acknowledged the new Government, and they may have done so since our departure on the 19th inst. **Willnot Great Britain Oppose annexation to the United states!“ She will probably enter a protest, but I doubt if there will be any vigorous oppo- sition on the part of that nation. I think the British Government has recognizsd that our inevitable destiny is annexation with the United States. Great Britain has practically abandoned Honolulu as a strategic point, and bas not used the islunds as a station for three years.’’ What will be the attitude of France!“ Woll, you know that the French are gain- ing possession of all theBouth Sea Islands which they can occupy, @& tionably lixe the Hawatiag hardly object to the inevit@ ESTABLISHING THE SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. in telegrams to the Post- ernoon, the steamer Claud in port this morning, brow it the important news that revolution | a broken out Hawaii, in the Kingdom ot LI. tukalani, the Queen. dad been de- posed, monarchy abrogated, Govern- ment buildings seized and @ new provisional ministry, composed of four members, is sus- tained by bayonets of volunteers. The Queen attempted on Saturday, Jan. 18. to promulgate a new constitution, depriving foreigners of the right of franchise and abrogating the existing House of Nobles, at the same time giving her power of ap- pointing a new House. This was resisted by the foreign element of the community, who atonce appointeda Committee of Safety of thirteen members, who calleda mass meet- ing of their class, at which 1,300 or 1,500 were present. That meeting unanimously adopted resolutions condemning the action of the Queen and authorizing the committee to take into further consideration whatever was necessary to protect publicsafety. . Monday the Committee of Public. Safety issued a proclamation tothe@awaltllan peo- ple recounting the history of the islands and calling attention to the misrule of the native line of monarchs. The wififffesto continues: Upon atcession of Her Mahn Lilioukalani’ fore brief period the hope prevailed that a new policy would be adopted. This Bope was soon biasted by her immediately entermg into confiics with the existing Cabinet, who held office with the approval of a large majority ef the Legislature, resulting in the triumph of Queen Lilioukalani and the removal of the Cabinet. Appointment of a new Cahinet sub- servient to her wishes and thelr continuance in office until a recent date gave no opportunity for further indication of the policy which would be pursued by her majesty until the opening of the Legislature in May of 1892. The re- cent history of that session has shown stubborn de- termination on the part of her majesty to follow the tactics of her late brother and in all possible ways to secure extension of the royal prerogatives and the abridgment of popular rights. . Five uprisings or conspiracies against the Govern- ment have occurred within five years and seven months. It ie firmly believed thatthe culminating revolutionary attempt of Saturday will, unless radi- cal measures are taken, wreck our already damaged credit abroad and precipitate to final ruin our al- ready overstrained financial condition and guaran- tees of protection to life, liberty and property will steadily decrease, and the political situation is rap- idly growing worse. In this belief and also in our firm belief that the action hereby taken is and will be for the best per- sonal, political and property Interests of every citi- zen of the land, we, citizens and residents of the Hawallan Islands, organized and acting for public — and common good, hereby proclaim as fol- ows: Hawaiian monarchical system of government is hereby abrogated. Provisional Government for con- trol and management of public affairs and protection of public peace is hereby established to exist until terms of union withthe United States of America have been negotiated and agreed upon. Such Provisionai Government shall consist of an executive council of four members who are hereby declared to 8. B. Dole. J. A. Kine, P. C. Jonesand W. O.

Tue late Queen and Cabinet accordingly yielded unconditionally. : STORY OF THE REVOLUTION, HOW THE REVOLT WAS INAUGURATED AND ITS SUCCESSFUL ISSUE, San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 28.—The steamer Clondine brought files of the Honolulu Gazette, which contains the following details of the revolution: | Saturday atternoon, Jan. 15, between 1 and 2 o'clock the community was startled by information that a coup Q’etat was in progress and that the Queen was endeav- oring to force her Cabinet tosign a new constitution, which she then propoged to promulgate immediately to the people. The information was at first disbelieved by some, but it was speedily confirmed. The political changes of the past few days, the renewed J. A. McCANDLESs, THEODORE F. LANSING, B. BOLTE, HENKY WATERHOUSE, F. W. McCuxsnxy, | overthrow of her ministers, her secret inter- views with regard to a new constitution, had been felt by some to give a hint as to what was to be looked for in the future, and many On Saturday morning rumor was busy and it was freely stated that a new constitution was to be promulgated in the afternoon. At a meeting of business men, held inthe room of the Chamber of Commerce, reference was made tothe possibility, but still it was not generally believed until in the afternoon the unexpected happened, and doubt was trans- ferred into certainty. Three days before the coup d’etat was attempted a gentleman who enjoys the confidence of the Queen told one ofthe members of the Cabinet (who was then in a private station) that & blow was to be struck, and that the persons of the ministers would be secured. In an- ticipation that the present Cabinet would not make any resistance toa revolutionary blow, precaution of resisting them was not taken. Saturday morning one of the ministers re- ceived positive information that a blow was to be struck that afternoon, He imme- diately proceeded to consult two prominent citizens on the coursetobetaken. Aftera conference the gentleman referred to advised the Cabinet to refuse to sign the consti - tution and to decline to resign if their resig- nations should be demanded. The proroga- tion of the Legislature was the last chapter in the story of the morning. It went off tamely and quietly enough, but those who were acquainted with the real situation felt that the Government and nation were sleep- ing on the crest ofa volcano. In the afternoon, immediately after the House had been prorogued, Huli Kalaiaina marched over tothe palace and presented a new constitution tothe Queen, with a peti- tion that the same be promulgated to the people as the fundamental law of the land. The matter of the new constitution and petition bad been prearranged, and it is stated that its promulgation had been prom- ised two weeks previously; anda member from Lahaina, William White, had deen actively working up the movement. A large crowd of Hawalians had gathered around the palace gates and in the grounds near a fight ofsteps and natives were also gathered in large groups in the Government building yard and elsewhere in the neighborhood, The Queen retired to the blue- room and summoned the Ministers. The Ministers re- paired at once to the Queen in the blue-room. She was seated at a table, still dressed in the magnificent morning costume, with a sparkling coronet of diamonds. She at once presented them with a Graft of the new constitution, demanded their signatures and declared her intention to promulgate the same at once, Atty.-Gen. Peterson and Minister of the Interior Coburn decidedly refused to do s0, and Ministers Cornwell and Parker, though more hesitatingly, joined their col - leagues in their refusal. All the Cabinet now advised and even strongly urged her majesty not to violate the law, but she was not to be dissuaded from her revolutionary course. Bringing her clenched hand down upon the table, Queen Lilioukalani said: **Gentlemen, I do not need any more advice. I intend to promulgate this constitution and to do it now. Preceeding, she told the Oabinet that un- less they abandoned their resistance at once she would goout on the step ofthe palace and tell the excited crowd there assembled that she wished. to give them a new constitution, but that the Ministers were inside the palace hindering herfrom doing it. The Ministers remem- bered the riot at the Court - house and the fate ofthe unlucky representatives who fell into the hands of the mob. They knew what the threat meant and before it could be put into execution they fled for their lives. * From the Government buildingthe Minis- ters immediately sent word about town, ask- ing the citizens what support the Cabinet could expect in its resistance to the revolu- tionary movement begun by the Queen. The leading citizens of every political com- plexion hurried together at Hon. W. O. Smith’s office, and while their numbers were every instant augmented by fresh accessions, held a hurried consultation as to the course to be pursued. There was but one mind among all those gathered together— tradesmen, lawyers ,mechanics,merchants— were of one opinion. Unanimity of sentiment reigned as had not been witnessed for years, and it was agreed without a dissent- ing voice that it was the duty of every citi- zen, without distinction of party, to support the law and liberties of the peopie and to re- sist the revolutionary encroachments of the Queen. Messages tothis effect were at once dispatched to the Cabinet. The Ministers now revisited the pace again, not without apprehension that they would be taken into custody even if they suffered no bodily harm. Great pressure had been brought to bear upon her majesty to induce her to go no further and to retrace the revolutionary steps she had already taken. While her troops stood drawn up before the palace, waiting for the final word of command, the Queen hesitated. The conference in the blue room lasted a long time while the result remained in the Dal- ance, She could not be induced to give up her unlawful project, but finally consented with bitter reluctance to a temporary post- ponement of the premeditated coup. The Queen whs a very angry woman, when at 4 p. m. Saturday she returned to the throne room, where were assembled Hul Kalaiana with most of the native members of the Legislature, the Cabinet, the Governor of Cahu,the young Princess, Chief Justice Juda and Justice Bickerton, the staff, the ladies of the court, the Kahili-bearers, etc. She as- cended the dais and spoke substantially as follows: PRINCESS, NOBLES AND REPRESENTATIVES—I have listened to thousands of the voices of my peo- ple that have come to me. and I am prepared to grant their request. The present constitution is full of defects, as the Chief Justice here will testify, as questions regarding it have so often come before him for settlement. It is so faulty thas Ithinka newone should be granted.

Representative White, from the steps of the place, told the crowd the Queen had be- trayed them and demanded her death. It was at this juncture that the Committee of Public Safety was formed, and shortly afterward troops were landed from the United States warship Boston. The armed uprising of citizens and the proclamation ofa proviacial government followed. The ex-Queen, seeing resistance was hopeless, retired to her private residence, wherea guard was stationed by the new Govern- ment. There was no blood shed. Annexation to the United States as a territory is desired, not asaState. The Boston is the only war ship the United States hasat present on the Pa- cific Ocean. THURSTON’S TELEGRAM, OXB OF THE ANNEXATION COMMISSIONS CON- FIRMS THE S1ORY OF THE REVOLT. New York, Jan, 28.—The following tele- gram, dated San Francisco to-day, {was re- ceived by Mr. B. F.

I VOTH FOR ; (WRITE HIS NAME IW INK.) GIGNATURE OF VOTER.) Mr. Dillingham has been in the hardware and general merchandise business in Hono- lulu since 1869 and is fully conversant with Hawaiian affairs. For the last three years he bas been engaged in building a railroad on the capital island, Oahu, for a private corporation, also which arrives on Honolulu harbor. Mr. Dillingham has been in America now for the past few months on business in relation to the railroad and other enter- prises. Mr. Thurston, from whom the dis- patch was received, arrived in San Fran- cisco this morning on his way to Washing- ton with the other four commissioners. Mr. Thurston is a grandson of the pioneer mis- sionary Thurston, who went from Boston in the missionary brig Thaddeus in 1520. Mr. Dillingham, in speaking of the Haw- allan situation, sald: ‘‘When Lilloukalani succeeded to the throne in 1891, on the death of King Kalakaua, she took the reinsof gov- ernment in her hands under auspicious cir- cumstances, ‘‘King Kalakaua’’ bad not ruled wisely and it was hoped by all the peo- ple that she would improve uponthe admin- istration of her brother. Butshe has made the same mistake as her brother, and did not profit by his experience or by the opportuni- tles that were open to her. During the session of the Legislature from last May up tothe time of herattempted coup d’etat, her sympathies have evidently been with the opium ring and the lottery bill promoters, and against the best interest of the country. The last Cabinet in power (who now prob- ably continue under the Provisional.Govern- ment) comprise fouras good and able men as ever held portfolios in the Hawaiian king- dom. Everything that could be done in the way of influence to keep a respectable Cabi- net in power had been done by the true friends and well-wishers for the peo- ple under the Hawaiian flag. But evil councils prevailed until the Queen was in- duced, as appears ny the telegram received this morning, to violate her oathtothe con- stitution and promulgate a new one setting aside all rights of foreigners whose interests supply 9. kingdom, Tne people werg thus forced by Der own act to take the necessary steps to preserve order and protect life and prop- erty. S. B. Dole, President of the Provisional Government of Hawali, is a son of one of the late American missionaries to Hawall, a graduate of William’s College and has been Second Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Hawall. He is a scholarly man, of acknowledged legal and judicial ability. Fully 75 per cent of the taxes are paid by American investors and residents. The feeling among foreigners in Hawall has been in favor of maliataining the form of Govern- ment existing at the time the Queen made the initiative movement, resulting as above stated, but she made a change ne- cessary by her own action. When the steamer left Honolulu all was quiet, and there is no doubt that everything will go on as quletly under the Provisional Government as it has done in the past. The better ele- ment among natives, who are in a large ma- jority, as well as all other nationalities in Hawall, is peaceably disposed. Business will go on and allinterests will be protected. Only those who do not know the people and are unacquainted with conditions there will haveany fears about the safety of life and property. ORDERED TO SEA, THE BANGOR AND MOHICAN WILL SAIL FOR HON- OLULU. San FRANCISOO, Jan. 28.—The Bangor and the Mohican, now at Mare Island Navy Yard, have been ordered to sea. The Mohican will zo direct to Honolulu and the Bangor will be pressed to San Fran- cisco to awalt further orders. The Adams is also at Mare Island, and if occasion occurs she can be dispatched with- out delay. As the situation now stands the Boston and the Alliance will protect Ameri- can interests, and the forces of the two ves- —3.— be increased by the arrival of the ohican.

For more than a ear they had deen ee with entire immunity from inter- ference from the authorities.

Yorn, Jan. 28.—Chauncey M. Depew ay gave to the SunDAY Post-DIsPaTCH irter a detailed account of the circum- Sunder which he took the leadership of the Barrison forces and the opposition to J. G. Blaine’s supporters at the Minneapolis Convention last June. At that time Mr. Depew only stated that he wasnot in favor of Mr. Blaine's nomination, because Mr. ‘Blaihe was not a candidate. He held that the Bilathé boomers had no right to use Mr. Blaine’s name since he had so distinctly stated im his letter to Gen. Clarkson that he must be constdered out of the race. But in spite ot this many people have not been able to pnderstand how Mr. Depew could assume a position seemingly of aggressive hostility to his old-timetriend. The reporter, there- re, called on Mr. Depew and asked if he would now give an explanation. Mr. Depew thought for a moment, then leaned back in his big office chair and sad: Tou ask me a question which has often been put to me. How could you, as a Blaine man of twenty- five years, have so cordially and strenu- ously supported the nomination of Gen. Harrison at Minneapolis? 1 presume I have received a bushel of letters on that subject, most ofthem very abusive. They charge ingratitude, unfaithfulness,and similar crimes. L had been on terms of the closest friend- ship with Mr. Blaine fora quarter of a cen- tury. I had supported him without regard to personal consequences whenever he wasa candidate, and had never asked or expected any return trom him. I believed in the man, in his unequaled capacity for public affairs, in his leadership, in his genius for things American, and felt that his ad- ministration, if he should become President, would be brilliant and phenomenally beneficial to the country. During the dominance of Mr. Conkling in this State this persistent and consistent sup- port of Mr. Blaine led to very unpleasant con- sequences for me. Mr. Conkling broke re- lations which had been very cordialand in- timate, and whenever I appeared at State or national conventions it was in the minority and opposition. This enthusiasm and sup- port of Mr, Blaine forthe chief magistracy had@jin it no element of opposition or enmity to anybody else or his ambitions. It was sim- ply a desire to have J. G. Blaine President of the United States, **When Mr. Blaine wrote his letter to Gen. Clarkson, Chairman of the Republican Na- tionai Committee, last year and notified him as thé representative of the party that he would, under no circumstances, be a candi- date at Minneapolis for the Presidency, I de- termined to ascertain if that meant that he would not take the nomination if tendered bim. I sent the late Gen. Husted downto Washington on the mission. Mr. Blaine said to the General: Say to Chauncey Depew for me that he is entitled, if any man is, to know exactly what my intentions are. lam not a candidate and will not accept the nomination, and he must therefore act as he thinks best, without regard to me, in sélecting ‘the candidate whom he will sup- . saw Mr. Blaine a few days before I went tothe convention, Mr. Depew continued, and had a conference with him of an nour andahalf. It was the most delightful of the many charming interviewsI have had with him. He was feeling better than usual and had the brightness and elasticity andthat singularly attractive kaleidoscopic change of thought and expression which were peculiarily his own. Our discussion Was mainly of the convention and the party. The talk about candidates was particularly free and Mr. Blaine was especially clear in bis discussion ofthe probabilities of success. He said that no Republican who could be nominated, not even himself, would be suc. fulin the coming canvass. He indicated Torces which had been accumulating ever Sethe war for a change of the policy of Government, and he believed the time had come when they would be toostrong for the Republican party. He said several times: *I cafi see no prospect of success in this can- Yass. The people are determined to try another policy.’ „He was fully alive to and very emphatic on the mérits ofthe Republican policy and its benefits tothe country. But he was equally clear that all kinds of elements antago- nigtic to each other were in unison fora triat of their theories of government, and hoping that in thé common Success to which they were pledged each one would have an oppor- tunity of faving its views tried in practical legislation. He said that he was not a can- didato. „During the conversation he asked me whom I was for and I told him Iwas for Gen. Har- rison. He said that Mr. Harrison’s adminis- tration had deserved the support ot the country, but that no President would ever be elected to succeed himself. He might after an interval be re-elected. The chief reason Mr. Blaine gave was that the patronage was so large and the increasing population of the country had made the number of applicants disproportionate tothe offices to be dis- ited that there would be enough disap- pointed office seekersto defeat the re-elec- tion of aby President who might be re- nominated. **AsI-was leavingI asked Mr. Blaine if in the contingencies which always happen ina convention his nomination seemed the only way t would he accept if nominated. He 8 said, 1 can't be elected,’ but gave no other ans wer. then said to him: It you have any other answer to give my addess is the West Hotel, Minneapolis.’ But at Minneapolis I heard nothing from him directly or indirectly. ‘sq member ot the present House of Repre- sentatives, one ofthe most intimate friends et Mr. Blaine, told me recently, when dis- gassing with me the Minneapolis Convention and the putting forward of Mr, Blaine by o of his advocates, while so many of his ends were apparently opposing him, that ne had in his pocket a letter from Mr. Blaine . > “to be read In 2 1 ene . * 2 r * > pearest to him and caso he was nominated, pos- ively the nomination.

There were surrounding him there a company of men who had been his devoted admirers and steadfast friends always. His mind was clear as ever. but the fatal Weakness which has just ended in his death, was so apparent that the meet- ing was a very sad one. Mr. Biaine would not trust himself, as in the od days he al- ways did, to extemporaneous talk, but he read his speech from typewritten slips. He bade us all individually, an affectionate, rather more than usually tender good night, and went to bed early. He was not up when we leftin the morning, and none of us has ever seen him since. „There are nO mourners for his death more sincere and no men who will cherish his memory more generously and lovingly than his old-time friends. who, at Minne- apolis, believed that he was not a candidate, that he would not take the nomination if nominated, and that it would Kill him if he entered the canvass.’’ BLAINE’S CHARACTER, ESTIMATES OF HIS LIFE AND -INFLUENCE Br. VARIOUS PUBLIC MEN. The following estimates of Mr. Blaine’s character and influence have been furnished by letter to the SUNDAY PosT-DISPATCH from various prominent men: JOSEPH H. MANLEY. The most comprehensive and concise esti- mate of Mr. Blaine, it seems to me, can best be stated in quoting what was said of Henry Clay: ‘*Other men have excelled in specific powers, but in the rare combination of quali- ties which constitute at once the matchless leader of a party and the statesman of con- summate ability and inexhaustible resource, he has never been surpassed by any man speaking the English tongue. It must be remembered that Mr. Blaine lived and moved upon a field much largerand more compre- 1 1 than that which occupied the powers of Clay. What constitutes a great man? It is not merely intellectual ability, but it is the rare combination of many qualities which are seldom found in any one man. Ihe chief characteristics of Mr. Blaine were his sim- plicity of life, his great consideration for Others, his thorough unselfishness, his gen- erosity, his earnestness,often his aggressive- ness, his absolute want of malice, his mar- velous memory, his extensive reading, his thorough knowledge of the history of the En- glish speaking race, the readiness with which he could use, upon a moment’s notice, all the intellectual powers he pos sessed, his natural power to lead because he never assumed to lead, his quickness of ap- prehension, his thorough knowledge of men. All these qualities combined ina nfarvelous degree made him what he was—the fore- most man inthis Republic. No man during the past forty years has been more inthe sunlight of publicity than he was, The leader of a great party, he naturally pro- voked jealousy and enmity unjustly, and he was at times cruelly assailed, but he never lost the friendship or confidence of those who knew him intimately and retained their love and admiration to the end. No public man escaped his criticisms when motives are misconstrued and acts which shouid redound to their credit are often so distorted as to appear to their dis- credit. The one great act for which Mr. Blaine was assailed by nis political enemies was his connection with the Little Rock & Ft. Smith Railroad. Extracts from letters which he wrote were published in qrder that a false interpretation might be placed upon them, which were as unjust as it would have been to arraign st. Paul by accusing him of having declared, without publishing what preceded and followed the declaration, ‘‘Behold, Iam all things to all men’’—a statement which, taken in connec- tion with what preceded and what followed, is one of the noblest utterances of. the great leader of Christianity. Mr. Biaine’s connec- tion with this transaction only bespeaks his high integrity, his lofty purpose and his no- bility of character. Disposing of some of the stock and bonds in the corporation, belleving it to be a good investment, and it failingto turn out as he anticipated, under no legal or moral obligation to do s0 he took back the stocks and bonds from every person to whom he had sold them, paying them in full with 6 per cent interest, except from two purchasers, whoabsolutely refused to per- mit himtodoso. His connection with this transaction shows his unselfishness and purity of business life. From the earliest days of his entrance into politics, nearly forty yearsago, he has been an uncom- promising adherent tothe principals of his party, often wiser than many of its leaders, devoting his life to its service and under cir- cumstances at times which would cause many a man to falter because of the injustice the party rendered to him for the service he so gladly gave it. It was not in his make-up to filnch or turn back. If he possessed faults Ido not know them. He was a great man and as good as great. JOSEPH H. MANLEY, NOAH DAVIS, In the death of James G. Blaine the country loses its most eminent statesman. My per- sonal acquaintance with him began with the Forty-first Congress, which met on March 4, ut the time of tue first inauguration of Gen. Grant. He was chosen speaker of the House attbat time, and as the Speaker of that body his remarkable qualities were speedily developed. He was prompt, ‘clear, firm, courteous and met and disposed of every question that arose with almost judicial fairness. In assigning reasons for any ruling he was 80 clear and convineing that 1 do not recall a single appeal from any decision he made. Men who had seen Clay in the chair used to compare bim with that great Speak - er, who seemed in their minds to be Als only rival. As a Senator Mr. Blaine had, under the usages of the Senate, little opportunity to display his masterly abliities, but as a statesman his great and almost unrivaled qualities were best developed. The office of secretary of State brought him in direct con- tact with the world’s best intellects: Doubt- less the office of Secretary of State of our country is second to none in its influence upon the peace, prosperity and happifiess of our own land, and of all countries with. which we have commercial or other relations. It Its not too much to say that in all our foreign in. tercourse Mr. Blaine, in his ‘grasp and com- prehension and ability of development and His aims and efforts were al- If he were not efforts in the In- to bring ali peo- continent into influence.

His effort was never totickle the ear or delight the vague & but to convince the judgment; and so. he became by far the most effective orator of his day in our country and the peer of his contemporaries everywhere. In ali his relations of life Mr. Blaine was a true American, and what is still more, a true man. In his death all America has losta lover and all mankind a friend.

In the great emergen.- cles that come in a campaign he was the most forcible man lever met, quick at de- cision and accurate in judgment.

SEG BORO OE OE gers; and as a manager of men and an organ- izer and leader he never hada superior. ‘his seemed to me the secret of his hold upon the people. He was a natural leader, but unlike many great leaders he was willing to do the hardest sort of work himself. He asked none to do that which he would not share. I re- member well an incident in his campaign against Mr. Cleveland. It was the Saturday night before the election in his rooms at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, when the great Cleve- land procession was taking place. The party known as the Mugwumps and the business men of the city had beenespecially active against Mr. Blaine. The procession was a great one, and as it passed in front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel for bours, he became depressed as well as impressed with its great significance, and then for the first time expressed himself that he would not be elected. Before that he had been sanguine, strongly impressed by his friends with his chances of success and its prodabllities; while during those hours to the friends about him he manifested not only great anxiety but great depression of spirits. It was, how- ever, inthe campaign ot 189 that the great political mistake of his life was made. Tobe a eanuidate and at the same time not a can- didate, to ve in the Cabinet of President Har- rison and at the same time with strained feelings existing between them. to permit his name to be handed about by friends and old-time enemies as a means to defeat the nomination ofjhis chief,was to my mind a great political mistake, It does not matter, however, for if he had been nomi- nated and accepted the nomination he could not have been elected. But whatever may be said of him, he was always the ardent Re- publican, the friend of the cause, and in the last campaign President Harrison had no more willing or anxious supporter than Mr. Blaine. Take him all in all, he was the greatest political leader of his time, and his nameand fame as such will grow year by year, while the continued puublic admira- tion of his great qualities and his achieve- ments will place him among the foremost men this country has ever produced. GARRET A. HOBART. GEORGE A. HALSEY. I have known Mr. Blaine since 1867, I made his acquaintance in the Fortieth Congress. I hal met him before and we were warm per- sonal friends from then on. Since then he has been my guest here in Newark several times. Ihave been to five conventions—in 1876, 1880, 1884, 1888 and 1892—always in his in- terest. He made me Chairman of the Build- ing and Grounds Committee of the Forty-second Congress, Our relations have been uniformly of a friendly personal nature. He relied a good deal onme,as his friendin New Jersey, to keep him informed of affairs, and consider - able correspondence passed between us. The week before he resigned as Secretary of State I spent a couple of hours with himat the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, That was the last tine Isaw him. At that interview the ques- tion of his being a candidate was fully dis- cussed. He told me then: As you know, I have heretofore desired to pecome President, but now I have no desire to fill the office.’’ He did not intimate anything to the con- trary. He was emphatic in his expression that he did not wish to be a candidate. Then he sald: % Four years ago, when Iwas in Scotland and my friends were cabling me if I would accept, I did not feel that I could stand the strain of acampaign. I, therefore, declined to permit my name to be used. Hadl been as well then as Jam now I would have per- mitted myname to go before the conven- tion, That conversation was about a week be- fore his resignation. I visited Washington just after he was taken sick the last time, on purpose to call on him. He was taken ill the day before and I could not see him. A good many people have an idea that Mr. Blaine’sresignation as Secretary of State was forthe purpose of influencing the nom. ination. But Jam satisfied that such was nat the case. He told me more in that regard than Icare now tostate. Mr. Blaine told me at my last interview with him that his physician had assured him that he had noth- ing to tear from kidney trouble, He seemed very Vigorous and sald that his outdoor ex- ercise for the last five days had been of great benefit to him. He felt first rate and, doubling his arm, thrust it out with great vigor. GEORGE A. HALSET. J. 8. FASSETT. Mr. sical and intellectual endowments. He made diligent and admirable use of his gifts. He became one of the greatest men of his gener - ation, For twenty years he was a conspicu- ous fisure in our political history and his name during that time became cumulatively mustrious. The world around he was better known as a representative American than any man since Lincoln’s day, with the possible exception of Gen. Grant. In rising from obscurity fame he touched elbows phases of our national life. In modes of thought, in methods of work, in forms of belief, in social life he was intensely American. In whatever direction he turned his energies he moved with commanding power. He excelled both in constructive and destructive criticism. He Knew how to bring things to pass as well us to compass their defeat. 0 man ever defeated Blaine in a purely intellectual con- test. He was that indefinable something called magnetic. A born leader of men, he knew how toattract as well as to convince and coerce. Worshiped by the masses of his party as few men are ever worshiped, he yet failed of the Presidency. A strong and aggressive partisan he died admired and respected by his political opponents. Accused of fiery jingoism, he was the most cautious and conservative member of Harrison’s Cabinet, An impet- uous and active politician, he was also a sagacitous and. statesman. 4 * or to friends, committees and mana- | 7 ‘hater, he never did injui 28 a cultivated J ae . * n Blaine was a man of splendid phy- abandoned the his life and works will instruct and inspire our youth. Beginning in humble place, be- set by great odds, he made a way by strength to a most exalted station. His death creates a vacancy that will not soon be filled. A man may be very great and not so great as James G. Blaine, ' J. 8. Fass ETTr. H. G. BURLKIGH. Mr. Blaine’s personal magnetism was the secret of his power with his party and the people. He seemed tocomprehend the wishes and wants ofthe common people and was stronger with them than any man since Mr. Clay, with the exception of Lincoln. In these respects he more nearly resembied Mr. Clay than any modern American statesman. No man in the history of the American people had more personal friends and more bitter enemies. In all details he lacked the disct- pline of a statesman like John Sherman, but by the brilliancy and quickness of his thought he was able, when the occasion arose, to repel and defeat the assaults of his enemies, and the history ot this country does not show any parallel to his defence of himself on the floor of the House of Representatives when he strode down the alsie with the Muill- gan letters in pl ve „ He looked into the uture and saw at once that the deficiency in the McKinley bipwould defeat the Republi can party in not. pb ore for the opeuing of the markets of world to American prod- ucts. Mr. Blaine desired to be President of the United States, and was most certain of the nomination at Minneapolis, and if nomi- nated was absolutely confident of election. He was conscious of his powers and sure he could command the approval of his country- men and promote the greatness and pros- perity of his country. When 19 years of age Mr. Blaine came here to Whitehall, N. X., from Burlington, stayed here over night went down the Champlain Canal on a canal boat to Troy and theace- by steamerto New York. Whatever were Mr. Blaine’s faults or his errors he has held and will hold the af fections of the common people. H. G. BURLEIGH. SAMUEL ESSEN DEN. Mr. Blaine was a patriot in the broadest sense of the term, a man whose native ability entitled him to take a leading position among the great men of the world, and who had the force and courage to command it. Nature endowed him with the most brilliant talents, and their versatility is shown in the high rank accorded him as a scholar and author, while the attainment he acguired proved that he was an indefatigable worker in tne flelds of science and literature as well as in those of politics and diplomacy. He was not only a great leader, but a great states- man. No man deserved and no man se- cured from those with whom he was associ- ated warmer attachments or more sincere or lasting affection and love. That affection and love he ever reciprocated. In my judg- ment no personal ambition was nearer or dearer to him than the welfare of his coun- try. Though one of the most bitterly as- sailed of public men, he lived to enjoy the esteem and affection of a Vast majority of his countrymen, without distinction of party. SAMUEL FESSENDER, ADLAI F. STEVENSON, I served with Mr. Blaine in the Forty- fourth Congress and knew him well. As a a public speaker, a great debater, he was in the front rank. His style of oratory was better suited to the House than the Senate. He had that sometbing that drew men to him and which we call magnetism. In many respects Mr. Blaine closely resembled Henry Clay. As a public idol and a great leader the likeness between the two men was striking. Both were subject to the same political dis- appointments, Each was the most popular man of his party, yet each could not reach the goal of his ambition—the Presidency. Mr, Blaine had many personal Democrats. He was gentle, kind and obliging. Asan indication of his esteem I need only refer tothe resolution passed by the late National Democratic Convention on the death of his son. No higher tribute could be paid by political opponents. ADLAI E. STEVENSON, — — CHARLES G. FARWELL. Though I have known Mr. Blaine for twen- ty-two years, since he was Speaker of the House of Representative of Which Iwas a member, in 1870, the style of the man, as it appears in his Twenty Years of Congress, was the style of the man at his own hearth- stone. I don’t know thatIcan analyize his fascination, but I think it was largely of an intellectual sort, You could not be with him a moment without discovering his pow- ers of mind, CHARLES G. FARWELL.

QUALITIES. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28.—Speaking of the death of Blaine, Secretary John W. Foster said: **I was not at all prepared for Mr. Blaine’s death and was much shocked by the announcement, I was about to leave the city with my wife to go to New York on my way to Paris to joie My Cole: the Behring. sea Comm! 55 oo 1 * Am tier word 5 the brief eulog: 1 1 ‘ 3 ss a Yr friends among * n > S 2 — ee 5 7 * 8 he 1 9 r oe ve a W 2 inate. du 222 tt , ~ 5 | ‘ at ' get > N — “mi 1 : 4 ’ - @ man * peri SEP spect that his succe havé | commonly requiring a la law, yet N any le ever, Mr. ved many signal rium news of his death. —1 —1 follows: when me a mene: second ngress, .. Auras six ears’ service as aeons of thie Guse of Representatives, all that time he was in full health and a magnif- icent specimen, both physically and men- tally, of matured manhood. As Speaker he was the absolute dictator of the proceedings of the House, 8 more fully the respect and confidence of the members than any other speaker, with perhaps the exception of Henry — whose career Mr. Blaine’s so much resem les. His career has been one ofleadership and his fame world-wide, His personal peculiarity and his hold upon the popular affection was not confined to his own party. His death will be sincerely mourned,’’ Atty.-Gen. Miller said: ‘‘Mr. Blaine’s death recalls to my mind the exclamation of a neighbor of Daniel Webster who, lookin upon the dead statesman, said: ‘The worl will be lonesome without Daniel Webster.“ Secreta Noble said: ‘‘James G. Blaine was the st equipped statesman I ever knew. It is very rarely that you meet such refinement and polish, such gentility com- bined with so r intellectual power. I remember the last Cabinet meeting he ever attended, Incidentally let me say that whatever disturbances have been chroni- cled about our little Cabinet family, the internal relations were al- ways harmonious and pleasant. Mr. Blaine on the occasion I refer to come into the meeting, sat for a short time, and then asked the President's per- mission to retire, saying that he had some Canadian friends waiting his return. I sup- pose he was furthering his grand scheme of reciprocity. Secretary Rusk said: ‘‘Ihave known Mr. Blaine for twenty-five years and our friend- ship — all that period was very warm. We served in Congress together for six years and lam proud to oo 4 Il warmly supported him for the Speakership. During our joint service in President Harrison’s Cabinet our old friendly relations became closer, and I am sure no one regrets any more 1 than 1 his untimely death. Mr. laine was one of the greatest men of the age, and has left a place behind him in the affections of the people which will be dificult to fill,’’ Secretary Elkins said: ‘‘dir. Blaine was a wonderful manand wonderfully gifted. He was one of the greatest statesmen and polit- ical leaders the country has produced, and the most conspicuous leader of his time, He was the idol of his party, the most loved man in it. He had, more than any other political leader in the country, the most enthusiastic following and the best and most loyalfriends. He inspired his party more thoroughly than any other man in it. For nearly twenty years he did more thanany other leader to shape its policy. His control over men, his power todraw them to him and command their unselfish support was beyond that of any other rty leader in the history ofthe country. His loss will be widely felt and mourned, but his life will be a contina- ing inspiration to his party. Mr. Blaine, though thoroughly educated, full of culture and accomplishment, never paraded his learning. He was versatile, full of resources and more widely informed than any man or statesman of his time. In acer tain sense, he was modest, seldom speaking of himself, his position, or commanding in- fluence in his party andin his country. He was broad, liberal and just; always generous to an opponent; tender, gentle and affection- ate towards his friends.’ Postmaster-General Wanamaker sald: Mr. Blaine’s kindness and enthusiasm that so greatly attracted everyone were often manifested, in a special de- gree, to Pennsylvanians, among whom was born. He liked to talk of people in Philadelphia, who livedat the time he was teacher and editor there. I shall not soon forget the last hour spent with him—wnhen he talked freely about his feelings and pains— avout a week before he went upstairs for the lasttime. Pennsylvania may well be proud of her brilliant son, cleverer than Henry Clay, and as eloquent as Daniel Webster. BLAINE’S RELIGION. FATHER SHERMAN SAYS HE DID NOT DIB A CATHOLIC—WORDS OF DEFENSE. The dead Secretary’s religion and disease have been twin mysteries for many weeks and now that he is dead the great American public have become more anxious than ever forasolution. With regard to the nature 0 his ailment the medical doctors have announced that it was chronic disease ofthe kidneys and consequent urw#mic pol- soning. But the doctors of divinity Who have visited Mr. Blaine during his illness, fore- most among them Cardinal Gibbons of Balti. more, have not as yet given to the public a diagnosis ofthe dead statesman’s spiritual condition. Howeverthe general impression is that Mr. Blaine aid not become a Catholic, and he passed over the dark river unshrived and unanointed. This is the opinion of Rev. Thomas E. Sherman, S. J., of the St. Louis University, who was one of the few who were admitted tothe sick-room of the Blaine mansion on Lafayette square, Wash- ington, D. C. In a conversation with a Post- — n reporter yesterday Fr. Sherman sa * **As far as I know, Mr. Blaine did not die a Catholic. Upon this subject, I would be giad to say a word in defense of Mrs. Blaine who, I think, has deen unjustly criticised by Catholics who labor under the notion that she prevented her distinguished hus- band from becoming a Catholic. I am very well acquainted with the family and Iam in a position to know whereof I speak. Mrs. Blaine is an upright, admirabie, noble, straight-forward woman. She was anxious to favor her husband in every thing and I knew that she would not stand in the way of his slightest wish. If Mr. Blaine was desirous to become a Catholic, I believe that Mrs. Blaine would not have opposed him. When Mr. Blaine expressed a wish to seo Cardinal Gibbons, she sent a messenger and afterwards telegraphed to Baltimore for his Eminence. When I called, a few weeks ago she received me very friendly, and promptly overruled the others of the family who did not want to see an excéption made for me tothe gen- ; eral rule which excluded visitors from the slek- room. Jam indignant that Catholics should criticise her, for it is a terrible thing for a lady in her position to be subjected to unmerited attacks from any quarter, I have the highest esteem for Mrs. Blaine and I would be glad to feel that any word of mine could correct the mis. taken notions which have gone abroad with regard to her influence over her hus- band. If, by her counsel, she became a force in the marking out of her husband’s careér, the fact is in the highest degree creditable to her. Rev. Fr. Phelan, editor of the Western Watchman wired Rev. Dr. O'Gorman of the Catholic University at Washington on Fri. day to know whether Blaine received the rites of the Catholic church, The reply, which was received yesterday, wasin the negative. CARDINAL GIBBONS’ VISIT. BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 2.—A Catholic priest who stands very close to Cardinal Gib. bons gives the followingas the Cardinal’s version of his visit to Mr. Blaine: ‘‘I dia not go to see Mr. Blaine on the day I called, Saturday, Dec. 10, but did go on the following Monday. I met there Mrs. Walter Damrosch, Mr. Blaine’s daugh.- ter, who seemed very averse to my seeing her father. I was finally ushered into the sick man’s bedroom, and found him lyin almost in a state of coma. Mrs. Damrosc roused him somewhat and said: Father, father, here is Cardinal Gibbons, Do you wish to see him?“ Mr. Blaine indicoted that he understood her, but aid not open his speak. Mrs. Damrosch again, saying: : | Father, here is the Carainal, did you want to endow a church?’ " Doyou want to give e dt e the Poot 0 | POC Mrs. Damhrosth Brea. Agata the dyir man snook his head.

O., 28.—The members ofthe Maine delega in the Senate and House were much affected by the news of Mr. Biaine’s death. They had known him for many years and followed his career with in- | terest and pride in his movements. Senator Frye said: ‘‘My intimateacquaint- ace with Mr. Blaine commenced when he sa member of the Legislature and when he was Speaker of the House, and it has never been interruptpd from that time, I also served in the National House when he was Speaker. For t. he has undoubted I think his address on the death of President Garfield was one of the finest things in the En Pak greatest party leader we have ever seen, He was better Known throughout tn ilized world than any other American. Congressman Boutelle said: My associa- tions with Mr. Blaine were so close and in- timate in many respects that it is a great deal like talking about the death of one of my own family. Perhaps the most st 5 thing in Mr. Blaine’s death isthe fact tha the man who has taken so prominent and aggressive a part in the great political con- troversies of the most excited periods of our national history should die so univ beloved and sincerely mourned by men with- out distinction of party. It is safe to say no man in this country, and possibly in an other country, has ever attained and he for so long a period the degree of popularity enjoyed by Mr. Blaine. The two factors of Mr. Blaine’s popularity with the masses were the brilliance of his intellect and peculiar lovabieness of his nature. The latter years of his life has been rendered pathetic by the harrowing burdens of domestic sorrow, which have inevitably aggravated the effects of overwork in undermining his originally strong constitution, whatever may be the final judgment as tothe physical cause of his death at an early age, which would ordinarily be the prime of a man’s usefulness, those who know him best real- ize that in point of activity and labor accom- plished the fruits of Mr. Blaine’s life would actually fill more than a space of three score. My political intimacy dated from the time when I went on the Whig and Courier of Bangor, and it was owing to Mr. Blaine I became a newspaper man. Greatly to my surprise he wrote.me that the owner of the Bangor W Courier wanted an editor and that he had recommended me for the place. This somewhat astonished me, because 1 had no previous newspaper experience, but.I found the work s0 con- genial that 1 continued right along there. From that timeon my relations with him have always been cordial and intimate and 1 — always been a great admirer of his genius.’’ Congressman Miliken said: ‘‘The first time I saw Mr. Blaine was in 1856. way homefrom Union College, New York, I stopped at Portland, where Republican party, then in its infancy, was holding a State convention, at which it nomi- nated Hannibal Hamlin for Governor. Mr, Biaine was called for and madea very brief, but a very good speech. From that time to the present I was intimately acquainted with him. He was one of the most charming men lever met. THE NEWS OF HIS WATERLOO, HOW MR. BLAINE RECEIVED THE RESULT OF THE MINNEAPOLIS CONVENTION, New York, Jan 28.—Theron Davis of the New York WORLD carried the first news of the result of the Minneapolis Convention to Mr. Blaine, who was then at the Brunswick Hotel, Boston. Mr. Davis’ story of that oc- casion, relatedtothe correspondent of the SUNDAY Post - DISPATCH, describes Mr. Blaine’s reception of the news as follows: Mr. Blaine was seated in an easy chair by the window, iis coat was unbuttoned and witf one hand he carelessly twirled his eye-glasses. Dispatches and letters were scattered about the room. Mrs. Blaine stood near the fireplace, leaning againstthe mantel. ‘*Mr. Blaine, the WORLD has recelyed by private wire the result of the baliot; would you like to hear it?’’ Mr. and Mrs. Blaine looked at me without a trace of anxiety. Tes, certainly.“ said Mr. Blaine. I have heard nothing since the balloting be- gan, except an occasional bulletin. The last was a balf hour ago.“ Mr. Blaine, said I, President Harrison has already received a majority of the votes and the ballot is not yet finished.’’ Mr. Blaine looked out of the window apparently unmoved. Mrs. Blaine looked firstat ber husband and then at a icture on the wall. There was silence for a ew seconds, broken only by Mrs. Blaine’s foot-step as she left the room quietly. A few minutes later I handed Mr. Blaine a dispatch reading: Ballot stands as far as and not including Texas, Harrison, 471; Blaine, 156; McKinley, 179.“ Mr. Blaine read it carefully. Then he called for a list of the States andthe numberof electoral votes of each. It could not be found. Never mind,’’said he. Let us see if your dis- patch is correct. We can tell by figuring u the votes not cast. You take a pencil and will dictate. Add 471, 179 an 1 186.“ Before I could add the figures together Mr. Blaine said: ‘*Yes, they make 806. I think there are 904 or 906 electoral votesinall. Now we will add up the votes of the States, which have not voted. Then Mr. Blaine gan slowly to name the States which followed Texas, giving the number of electoral votes in each without referring to any notes. When he hadcompleted the list he leaned back in his chalr and partly closed his eyes. Before Icould add up the figures he said: „That makes ninety-two, does it not?“ The correct addition was ninety-three. Then Mr. Blaine leaned back in his chair and tapping thearm of the chair with his long, thin fingers, said: The result is nota surprise. It mignt have been expected from the es- timates made before the balloting in the convention began.’’ As he said this there were no traces of emotion in his face. I fur- nished Mr. Blaine with three other dis. atches, the last announcing that Chairman cKinley had moved to declare the nomina.- tion of President Harrison unanimous. Then Mr. Blaine said: es, itis settled now. It is all over now. FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS, MANLEY OF MAINE WILL TAKE CHARGE AT THE REQUEST OF MRS. BLAINE, WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28.—Joseph Man- ley of Maine, the most intimate friend of the dead statesman, arrived at noon to-day and will take charge of the funeral arrangements. He immediately called upon Mrs. Blaine. His meeting with the family was very affecting. Mrs. Blaine sobbed as if her heart would break when she metthe friend her husband loved so well, When Manley leftthe Blaine house his eyes were greatly swollen and his great grief was very evident. The decotationg ot the Church of the Cor. enant for the funeral of Blaine will be under the charge of Mr, George H. Brown, public gardener.

The pension list is crowded with unworthy men who have no claim upon the gratitude of the country and who are casting dis- credit upon the real patriots whe fought for the Union and won a lasting claim upon the generosity of the nation. This is a work for the next Congress which should be done thoroughly and promptly. Not a day should be lost in wiping out the dishonor put upon the country and the soldiers by the scheming politicians of the Harrison-Quay-Raum stripe. THE absurd superstition that the house in which Mr. Blaine died was ‘‘unlucky,’’ is revived with the details of the passing of the ex-Secretary of State. It is hard to perceive wherein this house brought trouble to the Blaines. The deathsin Mr. Blaine’s family, which constitute about all the bad luck, did not occur in it, and itis not to be supposed that a mere pile of bricks and mortar could extend its deadly influence for hundreds or thousands of miles. Mr. Blaine’s condition was such that he would have died in any house. When houses are built so that they will prevent a man’s political or business mis- takes and keep his body in so good health that he will live to be a centenarian rents and prices will take a new start upward. — — . — — A BILL introduced into the House of Representatives at Jefferson City contem- plating the employment of convicts on pub- lic roads provides an immoral way of get- ting out of an immoral situation. It is the duty of the Legislature to either abolish the contract labor system altogether or so modify it that the convict shall get a fair remuneration for his labor to be held in trust for himself or given to his family. But itis not right for the State to expose convicts to public ignominy by working them on highways where they can by seen of all men. Indoor work should be found for them, if they are not to be helped along their downward way by the very agencies which should aid them toward a better life. — —— a THE working girls of Toronto have formed a union and propose to extort justice“ from their employers. ‘‘What we want is justice,’’ says the leader. „Girls should work shorter hours, the same as men. They should be paid the same prices for the same work. It is wicked that fragile girls must work from daylight to dark for starvation wages. We must organize and fight our own battles.

We must act in concerts’’ This is very fine and brave, but what will happen when they goon a strike and their places are taken by other poor girls eager to work for starvation wages? _ . PROBABLY no party was ever left so destitute as is the Republican party by the death of Mr. Blaine. Ever since the death of Lincoln and the defection of Sumner, Schurz, Trumbull and Palmer there has been a steady and constant deterioration of its leading men, and the great ability of James G. Blaine loomed up like a moun- tain in the midst of a flat and dreary desert. At present there is nota single man above third rate, with the possible exception of John Sherman, occupying a prominent and influential position in the party councils. Instead there are Har- rison and Clarkson, Depew and Alger, Quay and Carter, besides others of lesser note. Some of these, notably Quay and Harrison, are schemers of some skill. But as statesmen, or even as politicians in the best sense of that term, they are light- weights. TRR successful revolution in Hawaii and the offer of the provisional government to annex the islands tothe United States offer a perplexing problem to the Harrison Ad- ministration. We do not want to take possession of Hawaii. It is against the best policy of this country to assume protectorate over any countries or to take possession of territory beyond this continent. But on the other hand we do not want any other nation to take ‘possession or impose a protectorate over the islands, Tho wisest course, therefore, appears to be to let the Hawaiians attempt self government and protect them in the exercise of it if necessary. But even this course, considering the nature of the popu- lation and the general situation with reference to the islands, may bring responsibilities and complications which would be unfortunate. It may involve us in entanglements which would be inimical to our interests both at home and abroad, pisse as souvenir coins, these, There is occasion in this matter for the ex - casion to give advice to rich men. He warns them that there is a rising tide of opposition to wealth accumulation in this country, which threatens to lead to whole- sale confiscation of the property of the rich. As a means of meeting this menace to their possession of riches he urges them to soconduct themselves that they will not give occasion for the robbery of their property and to use their wealth so as to gain affection rather than enmity. The long and short of this philosophy is that some wrong to society in general has been perpetrated in the getting of riches and that rich men must conduct them- selves with great discretion in order to avoid offense and the occasion of an attempt to right it which in the heat cf indignation may take extra legal forms. The only way this counselor of the rich has to suggest by which the presumed wrong isto be perpetuated and the indignation of the mass of the people to be mollified is the exercise of charity. Having taken the goods of the people they are to be satisfied by the return of @ part ot it in largesse. This is the old trick of gilding oppression and robbery which has been the mainstay of monarchic, pluto- craticand aristocratic tyranny from ancient days. The most approved modern form of it is the gospel of grab linked with philanthropy, according to Carnegie. It would be difficult to find a more stupid and superficial view of the social and in- dustrial disturbances of the present day, and especially in this country, than is embodied in this view. The great mass of the people of this country have no unreasonable prejudice against wealth. Whatever dislike they have of its accumu- lation is based upon the specific injustice and oppression which they may believe to be involved in that accumulation. They do not object to riches acquired by industry, thrift and ability, but they do ob- ject to the getting of riches by the twisting of law, the corruption of legislators, judges and voters to the pur- poses of greed. They object to wealth ac- cumulation by unjust absorption of the earnings of others through special priv- ileges and oppressive combinations. The strength of movements looking to the readjustment of conditions of taxation and wealth distribution is nourished by recognized wrongsin these matters. The perpetuation of actual wrongs tends to add strength to them and to extend the now limited influence of the violent Anarchists to whom they give the occasion of irrational opposition to all individual wealth. What of actual oppression there is in methods of wealth accumulation now in vogue cannot be jus- tified by gilding it witn charity. The rich men who profit by such oppression are deluding themselves with vain dreams when they imagine that the demand for justice may be met with philanthropy. The men of this ageand country have grown outof that folly. If reactionary wrong should arise through revolutionary radicalism it will come because reasonable demands for right have not been satisfied. 1 ——— BEVENTY AND TEN. Seventy young women andten young men were graduated fromthe St. Louis High School last Friday. This dispropor- tion between the two sexes seeking edu- catien is no new thing, for it has been noticed on graduation days for many years past, not only in Bt. Louis but in all other large cities in the Union. The public schools of the country, particularly the high schools, are given over in undue measure tothe girls, while the boys are conspicuous by their absence. Nobody will contend that this is a healthy condition, for all agree that well trained faculties are the best guarantees of success in the struggle for life. Our whole public school system is based upon the conviction that education is the condition precedent to good citizen- ship. And yet it appears that the privileges of education freely offered by the State are not accepted by large numbers of the male sex. Instead, the girls monopolize the opportunities and the boys are turned loose on leaving the dis- trict schools, ill equipped for life, ignorant of most of the things the old fashioned school boy ‘was supposed to know and un- repared for the serious tasks of a serious career. Those who atill entertain the queer notion that education disqualifies a man for ‘‘practical’’ life may get rid of their prejudice by comparing the fortunes of the boys who enter offices at $3 a week at the age of 10, with those of the High School graduates who take similar posi- tions at the age of 2, St. Louis holds many examples and the pitiful disadvant- ages and ill guccess of the former are em- phasized by the superiority which the lat- ter soon display. The social consequences of the failure to procure a good mental equipment are seen in the deadly dullness of so many homes, in the lack of cheerfulness in family life and the egrly loss of interest in everything but personal or domestic concerns. The habit of thought is the best, in fact the only, guarantee of life-long good spirits. Intellectual diversions console the unfor- tunate as nothing else can, and often save victims of material disaster from a melan- —— — * 9 chronic and inextinguishable.

Only angels can do that, and angels are rare, as every husband knows. Unless the husband furnishes his share of the intel- lectual life it will die in the wife’s mind and leave discontent behind. Ho must be a help-meet for her if she is to be a help- meet ſor him. Happiness in domestic life is best assured when there is a community of tastes, based upon the sound prelimi- nary training of both. But what is: the cause of this curious neglect of educational opportunities by so many young men? It lies on the surface in plain view of those who have the wit to see. Boys of 12 are put to work because their pitiful wages are needed by the parent. The years between 10 and 2 which should be spent in preparing for the struggle are occupied by the struggle itself, which is forced upon the child by the poverty of the parents. Children are robbed of childhood and its advantages and unfitted for manhood and its oppor- tunities. Here, as elsewhere, an economic cause is at the bottom of the trouble. Boys will be given an education when it is no longer necessary for them to help support their families, and until that time comes, ifitever does, the number of them who are graduated from high schools will steadily dwindle from few to none. _ —_ THE FRUIT OF BOODLE. A touching picture of the feeling pre- vailing among the wealthy and eminently respectable Republicans of Philadelphia over the re-election of Quay to the Senate has been presented in a letter from the Quaker City. The pillars of the Union League and Manufacturers Clubs, who have contributed huge campaign funds to maintain the power of the G. O. P., are described as being plunged in pro- found gloom over the news that Quay had again been chosen as the repre- sentative of Pennsylvania Republicanism inthe United States Senate. They are represented as pathetically reflecting upon the contrast between Quay and his great predecessors and upon the fact that no one above the rank of a boodle politician asso- ciates}with Quay in Philadelphia and that no one rejoices over his victory except his disreputable political pals. Thisistruly sad. But despite the sad- ness of the situation our sympathies are dulland cold and refuse to respond to the appealin behalf of these mournful main- stays of Keystone Republicanism. The only meed of pity we can extend to them is that one would freely give to the crim- inal in the doek who finds that he must suffer the consequences of his own wrong- doing. They, ade Quay what he is and rendered -Quayism possible. They sowed boodle and have reaped the boodle boss. The tool they have used to do their dirty work is merely claiming his part of the reward. They have no just cause of complaint if the evil spirit they have summoned from the slimy pool remains to haunt and torment them. In the power wielded by the corrupt forces of Quay, Dave Martin and their disreputable associ- ate3, the Republican party is paying for the aid it has obtained from the forces of corruption. Quay is the true representative of the Republicanism built up by the wealthy and respectable Republicans who have supplied him with the means to purchase power with which to give them special privileges. Pure and able statesmen do not grow in the soil of political corruption. THERE has been much talk of Kansas drug- stores, but it appears that the real drug busl- ness of the country Is done at Indianapolis. A resident of that thriving city says: ‘‘There is a certain drug-stare on one of the prin- cipal streets of this city where men can be seen sitting around too drunk to stand up, and in a side room connected with the drug- store can be heard the clinking of glasses. I went to this drug store ones to have a pre- scription filled, and the clerk would work on the prescription awhile and then go out into this little side room with any man that came in the store andtherethe clinking of glasses could be heard, and finally the clerk became so intoxicated that Iwas compelled to goto another store to get what I wanted.’’ The progress of pharmacy inthe Hoosier capital cannot be questioned. It is bad, though, when the pharmacist himself has to take so much of hisown medicine to keep off the chills. - — W ALONG with the alarm of coming hoop-skirts for women there is an apprehension that men are about to appear in gaudy colors, Plaids and stripes, while serving to some ex- tent to show attention to the perfections of the masculine shape, are not sufficiently con- spicuous.

The colors of the American flag would make a striking suit, besides being symbolical of the protection everywhere prevailing at this time. Conservative citi- zens, slow in adopting new fashions, might begin by simply donning a large, flowing red sash from which they could gradually work up to the full requirements in colors. Merely a red necktie would not be sufficient for a start. l - „When I find myself in a railway carriage with an Englishman,” said Alphonse Dandet recently, 1 feelasif I could—like this’’ (here the author struck out violently with both fists, as if pummeling a body).

The leader inthe Senate of the ‘*Sunday- closing movement in relation to the Worid's Fair is Senator ‘‘Matt’’ Quay. Mr. Quay has quietly given it out that the Fair shall not be opened on sunday, and intimates that there is no appealing from his decision. Of course it does not injure the justice of a good cause to be supported by bad men, but such sup- port often indicates the weakness ofa bad one. When the World's Fair Sunday-closing move- ment is driven to such lengths from lack of argument that it is compelled to secure (dy the only means such men are obtainable) men like Quay, the probability is that justice in the matter rests with the opposition. When the Sunday-closing movement chooses him for its leader it merely confesses to its phari- saical character. Foster’s Task. From the New York WORLD.

James G. Blaine. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: When a public man dies he no longer be- longs to the present, but to the past; belongs no more to party, but to history, and s be judged not from the narrow standpoint o 9 but from the bread ground of principle. It matters littie whether he was a Republican or a Democrat or neither; it matters much whether he was honest and true in his political professions, conscien- tious and consistent tn his political practices, unselfish and patriotic in political aims and enus, James G. Blaine was neither nor a good man, if measurec Standard of greatness or gooc pared with the great men of the ante-war period, he was scarcely second rate, had he figured on the same stage with them, would never have been regarded as a peer to be respected ora rlval to be feared. He was brillant, but not profound. He bears much the samé relation to Webster, Clay and Calhoun that Brinsiey Sheridan does to Burke and Chatham and Fox. His name is identified. with no great legislative enactment, with no pre line of public policy; with no new and desirable departures irom the old landmarks—with nothing, ab- solutely nothing which will give him a per- manent place inthe national memory. His brilliancy, coupled with remarkable personal magnetism, made him popular while he lived, but such popularity cannot long sur- vive the sharp and decisive test of deata, Mr. Blaine was early bittea by that pres! dential tarantula which has caught and crip- pled so many greater and better men; and that mad mania found in hima willlug victim from tue day he emerged from political ob- scurity, to the very end of his publie career, It ought never to ve forgotten that he was the originatorand christener of what was called ‘‘Stalwart _Republicanism,’’ and that ‘*‘stalwart Republicanism’’—wuose chosen banner was the bloody shirt’’—represented military domination and carpet- bag gov- ernment in the south, with all that thesetwin Inlamies implied. It ought never to for- gotten that his Republicanism ceased to be of the ‘‘stalwart’’ sort only when it became evident that he could not ride into the Presi- dency on that hobby. ‘then he quickly dis- mounted, and leaving his **stalwart’’ follow. era in the lurch, mounted the hobby of con- servative Kepuviicanism—which he rode, with no better presidential success, until the curtain fell. He was, by nature and by edu- cation, a trimmer; looking out diways, not so much tor tue right side, as for the winning side; and never, except by accident, enlisting on the losing side. e was tor him self first and last; everything else, country and party included, was of da i portance in bis estimation. He helped to demoralize and = disintegrate his party, and he helped to postpone us long as possiuie that sectional recon- cliiation on which alone national unity and prosperity can rest. His last public act was thoroughly character stic. Ihe resig- nation from Harrison’s Cabinet was, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, an act of personal and political treacnery to his chief; such an act as nothoroughly honest and honorable man could nave done, even if tempted by the guarantee of a presidential nomination.

Mo., Jan. 28,—The special Section held to-day to fill the vacancy in this Senatorial District resulted in a victory for James B. Harrison, the Democratic nom- inee. The district takes in six counties, in- cluding Jefferson City and Cole County. Four of the counties are strongly Democratic and the others Republican. This city went Dem- ratio by 165 and for the first time in many years all the wards were carriod by Demo- rats. Harrison’s majority in the district will reach 1,200 or more. Ex-Senator R. Steele Ryors was Harrison’s opponents. The House held a session to-day without regard to the action taken yesterday on the death of Blaine. Then a resolu- tion was adopted by a large majority that when the House adjourned it adjourn until Monday. Nearly one- half of the members went home on the afternoon trains, satisfied that there would be no session to-day. The House stayed in session until late yesterday afternoon and ‘all the time kept up an _ incessant flow of wind about nothing. Then a motion to take a recess adjournment’’ until 4 ) 7 2 . 4 1 . * nf 3 ors to-day was adopted. This was queer, but Speaker Mabrey ruled that a recess could be taken from one calendar day to another. This morning there was only a scant quorum present, andit took the Sergeant-At-Arms and his deputies to get it. When the was called to order Moore of Laciede County raised the point that any business transacted would beirreguiar and illegal. He held that when the sessjon of yesterday ated no further business could be until Monday without first is point not well taken and an appeal from the decision was taken in the midst of considerable confusion. The Speaker was sustained and Moore then fell back in his chair and said he would allow nothing to be Gone with any of the bills he had intro- ‘daced. He characterized the ‘‘recess’’ trick asa 1 scheme to evade paying to the ‘‘distijnguished dead.“ He Mabrey’s rulin was unprecedented in the State and in defiance of the constitu- tion. Nothing was done aside from the third reading of bilis. The only member of the St. Louis Gelegation in his seat was Bond and Kansas City had but one ofits six members presen t. Chairman Hawkins, Special Committee on Criminal Costs has started to work in earnest and has already indorsed a bill to cut down the fees the Sheriffs receive in conveying prisoners to the peni- tentiary. The law now gives the Sheriffs 5 cents per mile fortraveling and $2 per day for feeding each convict en route to the peaitentiary, and Chairman Hawkins figures that this is too much. The Dill limits the cost to 8 cents per mile on main lines and will allow nothing to the Sheriffs of St. Louis and Kansas City for feeding prisoners on the way from those cities to the penitentiary. CONVICT LABOR. Hu PROBLEM THAT ARKANSAS LEGISLATORS ARE TRYING TO SOLVE. Lrrrie Rock, Jan. 28.—The most difficult em before the Legislature for solution is that which relates tothe penitentiary. It fis the unanimous sentiment that the lease system be abolished. Even the present lessees of the institution, whose lease ex- sin May, are in favor of the proposition. n Ins tor Carroliand Dr. J. J. Rob- ertson of the penitentiary have appeared be- fore the Joint Committee on Penitentiary, making statements about the management ofthe prison under the lease system, which has caused every Member of the committee to reach the conclusion that the system must Or. Robertson stated that during the two years he had served as penitentiary physi- clan very little medical attention had been bestowed on convicts working in camps throughout the State. He said that convicts suffering from pneumonia had been hauled to Little Rock in wagons, placed in the prison hospital and died before he could prescribe tor them. The prison tnspector related an incident in which a convict, afflicted with paralysis, had been whipped a warden, who has since been dis- arged. The reason given warden for punishing him in manner was that he believed he could be cured quicker with a strap than by any other treatment. The paralytic was sent to the hospital by the prison physician, where he was again whipped. The lessees of the penitentiary declare these statements have been exaggerated and that there is another side to the story which they will relate when summoned to appear tefore the com mittee. Several bills proposing radical changes in the present Australian ballot system have been introduced inthe House by Populists and Republicans, but when called up for the third reading they are either indefinitely postponed or unceremoniously laid upon the table. Only one measure of this character will be discussed and a vote be allowed on its ssage. ‘This ts a bill introduced in the ouse by Mr. Henley of Searcy. It proposes to consolidate the State and Federal elec- tions. Much disappointment was created among the business menof thiscity on account of the failure of the Senate to nass the Callaway bl providing for the deposit of the funds of the State of Arkansas by the State Treasurer in the banks of the state. ILLINOIS, PROPOSED REPEAL OF THE COMPULSORY EDU- CATION LAW BY THE LEG'8LATURE,. SPRINGFIELD, III., Jan. 28.—The pending appeal of Friday, from the decision of Speaker Craft, will be withdrawn on Tuesday by the Republicans. The bill for the straight- out repeal of the compulsory education bill, which caused so much trouble inthe last campaign, now presented by the Democrats, will be passed by the House. Buta bill pre- pared bythe Republican Steering Commit- tee will be introduced and presented asa substitute for the repealing act when it comes u on Tuesday on second read- ing. This will force both Republicans and Democrats on record on the question of compulso education, The resent law will, no doubt, be repealed, and ater on a hill, to goon the statutes to take the place of it, with probably a truancy e in it, will be presented. concessions have been made by the — ct tt regarding preparations for the of the Van Praag contested election case.

President Von Der Ahe has notified Manager Watkins to report here by March 1. and Watkins says he is ready to come to St. Louis in three weeks and take hold for a mes Mr. Von Der Ahe has given Manager Watkins full control of the team, and it largely rests with himself as to the showing in the race it will make. The Browns will start out with six good itchers, and at least two _ catchers. is pretty well settled that Jack Crooks will cover third, and Joe Quinn will look after second base interests. The out- field will not be determined upon until after team reports. There are Sandy Griffen, Brodie Dowd and Bob Caruthers to select from. Griffen comes to St. Louis with a pocket full of recommendations and Manager Watkins says he is as clever a fielder and hard a hitter as there is among the out- delcers. The Board of Directors ot the Sportsman’s Park and Club met for organization the past week and elected Chris Von der Ahe Presi- dent and Treasurer; John W. Peckington, — President, and Rufus J. Delano, Sec- retary. Hugh Nicol, who is affectionately known by the appellation of Little Nic, has decided to make St. Louis his future home. He has secured a lease a cigarand news-stand in the rotunda of the Wainwright building, and will shake the hand that never shoox a ball in right field for the did Browns with all his oid friends. Little Nic grows younger and shorter as he grows older. The bad weather has somewhat retarded the work on the new Sportsman’s Park, but every advantage is taken of moderation of the cold.* Yesterday bids on the grand-stand construction were opened and the lucky com- petitors were Phil Reichers and son. The contract for the iron work was let some time ago. As soon as the weather moderates the work on the erection of the stand will begin. It is pretty well settled that the Brooklyn Club will play Sunday games abroad. The annual spring meeting of the League will take place in New York City early in March.

The amount of money that has been in- vested by St. Louisans during the month of January in interest-bearing securities, is, it has been estimated, larger than for at least three years. Inquiry among the brokers shows that while the demand for purely speculative stocks has been small, the rates of gilt -edged se- curities have been very larze indeed, es- pecially have the salesof city and county bonds increased. A peculiar and encouraging feature ofthe situation isthe fact that the investors are very numerous. During the palmy days of the Granite Mountain large investments were common, but the number of investors was limited. The exact contrary is the case at present. There are few heavy individual purchases, but there are a great Many persons who have considerable sums of money which they wish to place in interest-bearing securities.

Mary Annie Browne Fues the Wether- bee Estate for $200,000. New YORK, Jan. 28.—Mary Annie Browne says she worked in Mrs. Catherine M. Wetherbee’s family for thirty years without wages. Her mistress, she says, promised her a house and a handsome legacy in lieu of wages. Mrs. Wetherbee died three years ago, leaving $200,000 and no will. Now Mary is suing John M. Baker and Catherine Sea- man, administrators of Mrs. Wetherbee’s estate for $200,000. Mary Browne arrived from Ireland thirty yearsago. She was a pretty girl of 2 and easily got a position as maid with Mrs. Wetherbeec’s mother. Mary became much attached to her first employer, and when she died a few years later Mary me mad for Mrs, Wetherbee. Her second em- ployer was one of the original members of Sorosis. She had a salon in her residence in East Fourteenth street, where literary men and women met. Mrs. Wetherbee was noted for her jewelry.

POPULISTS ‘CAUTIOUS AND REPUBLI- CANS WATCHFUL. Bach Side Waiting for the Other to Make a Bad Move—Senatorial Contests in Several States, But No Choice—The W. O. T. U. Takes a Hand at Lobbying Political Miscellany. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 28.—There seems to be no prospect of an early settlement of the legislative muddle. It is probable the rival Houses will remain in session throughout the term just as they are. For two weeks the Republicans have waited foran opportunity to get the con- troversy into the Supreme Court, hoping thereby to secure legal adjustment of the difficulties as speedily as possible. The Republicans understood an appropriation bill was to be passed without delay by the Senate and the Populist House and signed by the Governor, so that the Re- publicans might enjoin the payment of the money, and thereby challenge the valla- ity ofthe acts of the Populist House. The Senate carried out its part of the programme and on a suspension of the rules passed the legislative appropriation bill. It went to the Populist House ten days ago and there it remains and, so far as can de learned,the Populists have no idea of passing it. They have strenuously avoided any action which would givethe Republicans a chance to begin injunction proceedings. No business has been done except the election of a Sena- tor and State Printer, and since their victory in electing a State Printer and a Senator the Populists seem more determined than ever to hold out from an adjustment of the trouble by the courts. Speaker Dunsmore of the Populist House said to-day to the Post-DisPaTcH corres- pondent: The Populists don’t want to get it into the Supreme Court. There is noreason why we should. Waving been recognized by the Governor and the Senate, we can go ahead with the work as though there was no question about our legality. Let the Repub- licans once get this trouble into the Supreme Court and they would keep it there for months, probably years. In Colorado there is now @ contest over a State printer elec- tion, which has beenin the courts nearly three years. That’s the way this would hang alongifit ever got intothe courts and all legislation would then be hung up. We are going right ahead with our work and if the Republicans want totake the responsibility and continue to refuse to go on record in the work that comes before the Legislature, that is their lookout and not ours.’’ Speaker Douglass said to-day that the Re- publicans would continue to firmly main- tain the position which they had held from the start. We are anxious to get this into the courts,’’ said he, but up to this time there has been no way possible by which we could make up a case forthe Supreme Court. The Populists know well enough that that is what we want, but they are doing every- thing they can to prevent us from getting a chance. Overa week ago they could have passeda bill that would have given us a chance to take the question intothe Supreme Court, and by this time thee trouble would have been. settled and the highest tribunal ofthe State would have said that one or the other houses was legal or that neither was legal. In ten minutes they could have passed a bili that would make the basis for this test in the Supreme Court, but they don’t want to doit. I still hope something will be done right away to bring about an adjustment of this controversy in the only way thatit can be adjusted—by the highest court of the State.’’ THE W. c. r. U.

HELENA, Mont., Jan. 28.—The third week of the Montana senatorial contest ended to- day, with no indication 6f when the break will come. The Republicans have ceased making any effort to elect Sanders by a di- rect vote, as they know that a continuation of the deadlock to the end of the session will throw the whole matter intothe hands of Gov. Rickards, who will appoint Sanders to serve until the meeting of the Legislature in January, 189%. All efforts to get Clark and Dixon out of the fleld have proved futile. Clark claims to be the regu- lar caucus Democratic nominee and that he is therefore entitled to the tun Democratic vote of the Legislature. Marcus Daly, Mr. Dixon’s manager, however, takes exceptions to this. He says Mr. Dixon hav- ing refused to go into caucus cannot be bound by it. The Democratic members and the three Populists are willing to yote for Hauser or Maginnis, but are making no move to break the deadlock until released from their pledges. The vote to-day resulted: Clark, 20; Sanders, 28; Dixon, 11; Collins, 1. NORTH DAKOTA. BISMARCK, N.

CuicaGo, III., Jan. 28.—There was a semi- panic in the wheat pit at the opening, fol- lowed by a return of confidence. which in turn was succeeded by a ro- newal of alarm, among the holders. Wheat, which started at 77%c for May, and sold quickly down to 76%c, recovered to 78c, but again broke back to and closed at 77e, which is 1%c under the price it closed at yesterday. Corn and oats averaged strong, but wound up We under their respective closing values on Friday. Provisions, afteran early decline, started up and closed strong, May pork selling at and closing worth $20, The scheme ofa few big scalpers, which was worked on the curb yesterday after- noon, to frighten the buils in wheat worked to a charm. The crowd entered the pit this morning in a state of disorganized bewilderment, with nothought in their minds but that of selling wheat, which they pro- ceeded at once to 8 into practice. May wheat, Which elosed strong on the previous aiternoon with buyers at 78e, started with sellers ask ing anywhere from 77% to 77e for it. In the confusion at the opening trading was going on simultaneously in different parts of the pit at both the prices mentioned. Then all became sellers at 774ec, 77%c and in less than five minutes from the start 770 became the current trading price, with some sales as low as 76%c. The market rallied quickly from the latter prices and in afew minutes the price was upagain to 77%c. The market had become gets strong and advanced to 78c, with indications that there were r of buyers within e of that price, but sud- denly the whole aspect of affairs changed.

Judge John Martin comes from illustrious ancestors.

His father was a native of South Car- | olina. Tennessee, for nine ters with Rev. While yetayoung man he moved to where John Martin was born Nov. 12, 1833, being a native of Wilson County. The boy received a good English education in the common schools near home, working at intervais on the farm. But all his aims and desires were for political life, and he was soon found divorced from mer- cantile pursuits, having been appointed chief clerk in the post-office at Lebanon, Tenn. He had already commenced the study of law under the instruction of Judge Caruthers, Professor of Law in the university. In the winter of 1854, in company with Maj. B. J. Newson, who had materially as- sisted him in his law studies, the young man concluded to go to Texas, but learning from Hon. Rush Elmore, who had just been ap- pointed one of the United States District Judges for the new territory, that he (Judge Elmore) intended to reside permanently in Kansas, the two concluded to make that their home. In March, 1855, they came on from Nashville with Judge Elmore.

Jan. 28.— Margaret Hirsch, a pretty German girl 2% years old, is bemoan- ing the loss of a prospective husband anda cigar store on Grand street. Margaret says. however, that she can stand the loss of the husband and the cigar store, but would like to get back the $12 which she paid to get them. She told her story to Justice McMahon in the Yorkville Police Court yes- terday morning, where she tried to get a warrant for the arrest of Julius Hermann of 10 East One Hundred and Si- teenth street. Hermann has the 812. which she says was all the money she had in the world. It happened in this way. According to her story, Margaret came to this country trom Germany three years ago and obtained work as a servant. A month ago she lost her place and went to live with an uncle at 405 East Twenty-hinth street. Last week she met a man who told her of a plan where- by she could not only secure a good-looking husband, but also make make provision for independence in the future. The man, who introauced himself as Dr. Hermann, said he was an agent of a society called the Order of the Old Colony. The object of this organization,’’ said Mr. Hermann, is tofurnish upon the payment of a slight stipend a good-looking husband or wife, as the case may be, and to set the newly married couple up in business. For $12, allshe had, the society agreed to provide her with a fine-looking husband and to throw ina cigar store on Grand street. It only asked three monthstodoitin. Mar- garet took the $12 out of her trunk and laid it in Mr. Hermann’s hand. In return she received an elaborately decorated cer- tificate stating that she had paid to the Or- der of the Old Colony $12, for which sum a husband anda start in life would be fur- nished her. The certificate also stated that the headquarters of the society were in the Lincoln Bullding, 1 and 8 Union Square. This occurred last Friday. On Satarday Margaret thought she would call at the officeof the order and get back her $12, which she needed then more then a husband anda cigar store. **I don’t know anything about such an agreement,’’ said a man who was busily writing at a large desk in the society’s rooms, when Margaret made known her er- rand. ‘*You’ll have to go somewhere else for our $12. We never offered to find a husband or anyone and you never gave us 312. Then Margaret went home and poured out her woes to ber uncle, who advised her to get a warrant for the agent’s arrest. He also discoveredthat the certificate stated that only $38 should be paid to the agent of the society and the remainder to the collector of claims at headquarters. Justice McMahon told Margaret that she would have to sue the society in the civil courts and that he could not issue a warrant for its agent’s arrest. BMUGGLED GOODS SEIZED. * VALUABLE OIL PAINTINGS AND A LARGE ASSORT* MENT OF RRIC-A-BRAC. New YorK, Jan. 2.—On complaint of Special Treasury Inspector Charles H. Trait- teur, a batch of household goods imported by Mrs. Campbell Cacace was yesterday formal - ly seized at the public stores. The consignment came over on Oct. 8 last and was not regularly entered until within a few days. In the lot were forty-eight ofl paintings. The most valuable one was tucked away within a folding- bed. There wasa large assortment of bric-a-brac and four large pieces of hand embroidered silk dress goods not made up wrapped in an old skirt. The Inspector is very jubilant over the seizure and says that t strengthens his charge that the woman is a smuggler. He says that in Naples she lived in two small rooms at the Hotel Royaland yet since her arrival here about two years agoshe has sent over four large entries of household goods, including 172 oll paintings, which she at once put on sale. Mr. Traitteur Is now out on ball, charged with sending an indecent letter tothe woman. He retallates by saying that she wrote the anonymous letter, and then changed her residence in order to make her complaint before Judge Grady. M. Traitteur says he will show that there was a conspira- cy between the woman, Campbell, a Fire Commissioner and two other city offictals.

For this occasion the theme chosen was a village fair in the old country, and this idea was carried out in the most aftistic fashion in every detail. Entering from the streets, helmeted knights guarded the doorway which led into the main hall, which was wainscooted with foliage, plants and evergreens, from which was suspended innumerable Japanese lan- terns, presenting an ideal country lane leading to the village, which was fitly represented within the great hall. Passing the sentries who guarded the doors one found oneself within the confines of a German village.

A MEETING IN THE INTEREST OF THE PLAN HELD YESTERDAY. The Sentiment in Favor of the Change Unanimous—If the City Will Accept the Library, the School Board Will Donate It-How the Institution Oan Be Made Free. Educational authorities in St. Louis are be- coming more and more enthused with the proposition to give the city a free library. As the plan, which has already been considerably discussed, combines the founding of an institution of which the city stands sadly in need, with a very material lessening of the draft upon the funds of the School Board, which now supports the Pub- lic Library, it nds many adherents among the people and those who have control of the public schools. The general desire for a free library and the earnest wish of the School Board to be spared the necessity for providing for a library make the prospect for the proposed change naturally alluring. In the assembly-roomjof the board at Seventh and Chestnut streets yesterday afternoon a meet- ing was held which may be considered to have fairly started the movement to provide a free library and merge into it the present public library. A pre- liminary meeting had been held on the 20th inst., when an organization of the promoters of the undertaking was affected by the election of O. L. Whitelaw ofthe Board of Managers of the Library chairman, and Fred M. Crunden Secretary. A call was then issued for a second meeting and at 4 0’clock yesterday a large number of prom- ment men assembled to lend their support to the undertaking. Among those present were President Gist Blair of the school Board, Rev. J. O. Learned, T. J. Meysenberg, G. A. Finkeln- berg, George O. Carpenter, O. OC. Allen, W. E. Fisse, James ©.

Chairman Whitelaw explained that the Missouri library law, known as an act re- lating to libraries in cities, villages, towns and townships, made it feasible to provide for the public library at the same time mak- ing it free. The first section of the law, which Secretary Crunden read, is as follows: When 100 taxpaying voters of an incorporated city shall petition the proper authorities, asking that an annual tax be levied fer the establishment and maintenance of a public library in such incor- porated city. and shall specifyin their petition a rate of taxation not exceed 1 mill on the dollar an- nually, and in cities of over one hun- dred thousand inhabitants, not to er- ceed o ne-fifth 0 1 mill annually on on ail the taxable property of the elty: such officers shail in the next legal notice of the regular annual election in such incorporated city give notice that at sueh election every voter may vote for a -— mill tax for a free public library,’’ or **againsta— mill tax for a free public library,’’ specifying in such notice the rate of taxation men- tioned in said petition, ity li th corporated city a free public library’’ the tax in such notice shall be ievied and collected in like manner with other eneral taxes of said incorporated city, and Hall be nownas the ‘‘library fund, provided that such tax shall cease when the legal voters of any such in- corporated city shallso determine by a majority of voters at any annual election held therein. The law also provides that a founded under its provisions shall be con- trolled by a board of nine Directors, to be chosen by the Mayor with the sanction of the legislative branch of the municipal govern- ment. We all know,“ said Mr. Whitelaw, that itis desirable to have a free library in St. Louis. In matters of this sort we are far be- hind other cities. The School Board and the Board of Managers are now taking advantage of the law to provide a public necessity and at the same time have it sup- ported by the people without making it ne- cessary forthe School Boardto support it. The present income of the board is hardly sufficient, and the partial tax upon the patrons of the library keeps away many people who would use the institution if it were entirely free.’’ Mr. Whitelaw suggested as a matter to be discussed the question as to what authorities should be petitioned. The law, he said, was not clear on that point. BROUGHT OUT DISCUSSION. Secretary Crunden said that Fred N. Jua- son had prepared an opinion bearing on the legal questions entering into the proposed change,and he thought that the Mayor and Council should be appealed to. Mr. Finkelnberg asked ifthe law provided for the establishing of a new library, or the taking away of the public library from the School Board. It seemed to him thatthe founding of a new library was only intended and he saw no authority for the planto merge the two. Secretary Crunden explained that, while under Mr, Judson’s opinion a new Hbrary was only contemplated by the law; when the people had voted favorably upon the propo- sition the School Board could turn the public library overtobe free with the consent of the life members. I would like to know,“ said Mr. Soldan, ‘‘whether the one-fifth of a mill tax would be part of the present taxation or an addi- tional levy?’’ It would have to be a part of the present taxation,’’ replied the chairman. ‘‘We all know that the limit of taxation in St. Louis has been reached. That matter is regulated by law, but if the people voted for the free library provision would be made for this pur- pose somehow.’’ The advice of J. C. Richardson, one of the founders of the present library, was asked and he made a short speech in which he ad- vised that the legal minds ofthe lawyers of the School Board be used inall questions of law entering into the matter. He then warmly advocated the establishment of a free library, saying thata public library was but the beginning of edu- cation and a very essential rudiment. ‘*But,’’ said he, the public is a very ticklish animal to ride, especially when it comes to increasing the burdens of taxation, and you should proceed very cautiously.’’ W. S. Chaplain said that there was no uestion as to the desirability ofthe change. t was a disgrace that St. Louis did not now have a free library. He suggested that one point should be made clear, and that was as to what action the School Board would take should a free library be established. Would it relinquish control of the Public LI- brary in favor of the new institution? It should make some public statement on that score. THE BOARD WILL RELINQUISH IT. President Gist Blair was called upon to an- swer this and he saidhe could not speak for the board, but he knew that the library had been a great burden and had only been main- tained because it reached such a large num- ber of people not reached by other libraries, A resolution atthe next meeting would defi- nitely settle the question of what the board’s course would be. „There is no such question, said Mr. Fisse. This meeting is the result of a reso- lution already passed by the board. It would be glad enough to relinquish control and that is just what it passed that zesolution for.“ alter McIntire made an energetic speech favoring the founding of a free library. Let the matter be decided upon by the Board of Education,’’ said he, then by the Board of Managers, then let it be agitated, let pe- titions be sent in and the matter finally voted upon by the people.’’ „„was partly educated in free libraries“ said Rev. Dr. Robert A. Holland, and I would not proceed so cautiously as some of you seem disposed todo. Whatever the difi- culties in the way Iwantittogo. The long neck of the giraffe may be necessary to see ahead, but the long legsof the kangaroo are even more necessary to jump. I want this thing to jump.“ THE NOTE CAN BE TAKEN. Dr. Bartholdt said he had watched the pa- pers on this subject when it was once before agitated, and they were all in favor of a free library. The step was very timely just now. | fb ere was an election coming on, and library 4 it was strictly a municipal eldction. The expression of the people at the polls would be unbiased by State or national af- fairs. ‘‘If the people once vote forit the money will be forthcoming. The sharp knife of economy may haye to be brought into play, but let it be used. Mr. Blair proposed that the Chairman be requested to communicate with the members of the School Board and the life members and learn what their wishes were. This was supple- mented by a resolution by Mr. Allen Instruct- ing the chair to appoint a committee to per- form the task. The resolution was carried and the chair appointed as members of the ——— * 4 ee — Ss 4 rg orge G. rpenter „ Us Allen and W. E. Fisse. gress Secretary Crunden then explained that while it was very desirable to have the con- sent of the life members, it was not neces- sary. Their consent would come with the logic ofevents. Ifthe School Board ceased to supply funds for the library the life mem- bers would be glad enough to have those funds supplied from the city’s resources. Another meeting will be held shortly to re- ceive the report of the committee. CAMMACK SQUEEZED. Deacon White and Others Caught Him Short on Sugar. NEw YORK, Jan. 28.— The jump in Sugar esterday on the Stock Exchange was simply & move inthe game of stock manipulation. There was nothing in the prospects of profits in the sugar trade or in the trust dealings to warrant such a sudden rise in quotations, but there was a short to be jumped on, and Cammack, according to allreports, was the victim ofthe day. He was squeezed untila stream of golden profit oozed out or his every pore, and the expert squeezers of the job were 8 V. White, as chief operator, with the Wormsers and Keene lending lusty aid at the lever. Cammack has been short of both Whisky and Sugar of late. His Whisky deal left him a rich profit, but be- hind Sugar stood Deacon White and the Wormsers with plenty of capital from some- where, and Cammack’s short sales were sim- ply expressions of his belief that they were way off when they were talking bullish on Sugar. Cammack sniffed the coming squeeze, and he was down very early inthe street and surprised the Wormsers by a call on them before market hours. His query was a very simple one: Would they take care of 40,000 shares of Sugar for him at126%. This was a point and a half above the closing price on Thursday. Then came some diplomatic hemming and hawing. They would not say no, and they could not conscientiously say yes. Well, then, would they secure the stock at the opening price, was the almost tearful request of the cornered bear. The game then was to get an opening price and as the gong sounded for the day’s battling the throng about the Sugar post on the floor started in. They made a price four points long, for atone time offers from 123 to 129 were shouted out from different eddies of the big whirlpool. How much Mr, Cammack paid for his cover- ing stock he knows, but won’t tell. He may have got some of it at 126. He may have paid 128 for the majority, but he suffered a most deftly managed squeeze and realized that the life of a bear on such mercurial stuff as In- dustrials is not altogether a happy one. Others of the bearclique made such private settlements as they could during the day A shade off the quotations. QUESTIONING A TRUST'S VALIDITY. Lawing Over the Millions ot President Mo- Kenzie of Singer Sewing Machine Fame. NRW YORK, Jan. 28.—An action to determine if a million dollar trust is valid, which was created by the will of Geo. R. McKenzie, President of the Singer Sewing Machine Co., which left about $2,000,000, was tried before Justice Lawrence of the Supreme Court yes- terday. Mr. McKenzie was 70 years old at his death on Jan. 6,1891. Ten of his twelve chil- dren are living. On March 1, 1887, he turned over $600,000 to his sons, Alexander and Hugh R. McKenzie, and to Charles Elkin, Peter Alexander and T. B. Easton, to be held in trust until the last of his ten children should die. Each child was to get a tenth of the income forlife. Onthe death of each childa tenth of the principal was to gotothatchild’s issue, or in default of issue was to be divided among the remain- ing children. This trust deed was executed in New Jersey and admitted to be valid. By this will, which was executed July 23, 1887, McKenzie attempted to create a similar trust fund of another half million to be held under the same conditions. The trus- tees, with the exception of T. B. Easton, a lawyer, were made the executors. The action is brought because the executors did not know whether they hada right to turn the half-million over tothe trustees. It de- ends on the residence of Mr. McKenzie. If 10 residedin New Jersey, where the com. mon law still prevails in regard to trusts, the trust part of the will would be valid. It would be invalid, so lawyers say, if he re- sided in this State under the statute pre- venting a suspenson of alienation for more than two lives in being. The willwas executedin London and de- scribed the testator as of Jersey City. His children endeavored in the trial to show that he was of New York State. Dr. Burdette P. Craig, son-in-law of McKenzie, and several others testified that McKenzie had for the past nineteen years of his life considered Glen Spey iu Sullivan County his home, and had spent, he said, three-quarters of a million dollars on his residence and grounds there. He had taught a Sunday-school class up there and had held several public offices. Other witnesses testified that he had resided in Jersey City since his marriage in 1847. A DOCTOR’S WOES. His Wife Leaves Him, He Says, Because He Is Too Busy. New YorkK, Jan. 28.—Dr. 8. 8. Betts, Jr., a well-known veterinary surgeon of 844 Ninth avenue, is a disconsolate man. His wife, as he says, has left his bed and board, nd very little eise, he added with a grim smile yesterday, as he looked about his rooms, denuded of most of their bric-a-brac and hangings. Areporter found him there late last night nailing a new electric bell button on the hall door in place of the one Mrs. Betts carried off with her, he says, when she disappeared last Tuesday morning. ‘*I can’t see why my wife should leave me, except that my work keeps me so busy that Icould not take her to bowling and euchre parties and theaters. She isa great church- oder and had a Sunday-school class in the Jhelsea Methodist Episcopal Church, but she was always eager for those amusements and would abuse me like a trooper whenever I had to refusetotake her out. She used to nag at me because I could not find time to go to church with her, and say that I was not a Christian. That may have been her reason for going away. I hope she will return, I love her still, and will gladly forgive her if she will only come back to me. Diphtheria Ecare.

No Big Detective Could Seize His Produo- tions Without a Warrant. New YorK, Jan. 28.—OChief Brooks of the Secret Service climbed to Louis Leserman’s art rooms, on the upper floors of No. 12 Oourt - landt street. last Thurgday and announced himself as a buyer of pictures. He spoke of several works in oil which were displayed in a showcase near the street and asked if there was not a painting of a $100-bill among them. Mr. Leserman said there was. That's for sale, isn’t it?’’ asked the de- tective. The art dealer said he would sell anything about his establisnment, and brought up the greenback picture forinspection. It was framed and toall appearances was a perfect $100 Dill. Astrong magnifying glass was re- —— to show that every line inside the gilt rame was made bya painter’s brush. ur. Brooks asked the price, It was $150. The picture was lying ona counter and Mr. Les- erman rather thought he was goingto make a sale. The detective picked uP the painting in both hands, as if to ſaspeet it agaln. Then he said coolly: [think I'll seize this picture?’’ ‘*] think you won't,“ retorted Mr. Leser- man, whose head reaches about to Mr. Brooks’ waist. Quick asa flash, he grabbed the picture from the hands of the detective and threw It into a desk behind the counter. He turned the key in the lock and had the key in his trousers pocket before the big detective chief knew what had happened. lem Brooks,’’ announced the detective, throwing open his coat. Here is my badge. Give me the picture.“ How do I know who you are?“ asked the little man. Any y can wear a badge. Mr. Brooks said he was wiiling to go to Kennedy’s hat store, an the floor below, and be identified. Mr. Leserman accompanied him, and as they entered the store Air. Ken- nedy looked up and exclaimed: ‘*‘Hello, Brooks!’’ Jam satisfled, said Mr. Leserman. Now, we'll go back and get the picture,’’ said the detective. No, we wont, replied the art dealer. I don’t thing it’s in the market any way. am going to put it iu my private collection. **I shall seize it,“ said Brooks. ‘*Where’s your search warrant?’’ retorted Leserman. The big detective admitted that the little art dealer had outwitted- him and went away. Mr. Leserman consulted his lawyers and carried the picture to his house, No. 217 West Forty-ninth street. The next day Chief Brooks came around again and was told that the painted bill was in Mr. Leserman’s pri- vate collection and that it was going to stay there. Brooks went to the Unitea States District Attorneys office for consultation and advice, and Leserman was invited to go over to the Federal Building and listen to the law on counterfeits. An As- sistant District Attorney read him a good many pages with copious references to other sections and chapters. Nov, you've Beard the law,’’ said Brooks, and you had better let me have the picture without any more fuss. „ haven't heat aw, returned Leser - man. What dol know about all those sec- tions and chapters referred to?“ As Brooks was at his wits’ end he made daily visits to Leserman and at last a com- promise was effected. Leserman agreed to submit the painted billforthe inspection of experts at Washington provided Mr. Brooks would give hima receipt forit. The trans- fer was made last Thursday. It was not a seizure,’’ said Mr, Leserman yesterday. ‘‘Mr. Brooks may be avery big man, but he cannot selze any of my works of art if I’maround. I am perfectly willingto abide by the decision of the authorities at Washington, and I expect to get my picture back.’ Neyer Mind the Reason. From the Atchison Globe.

Part of the Krupp Company’s Exhibit on Its Way to Chicago, BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 28.—The British steamer Gardepee, which arrived at Sparrow Pcint Wednesday afternoon, had on board the first consignment of Krupp guns to be exhibited at the World’s Fair. The steamer, in command of Capt. West, left Hamburg the day before Christmas and it took her twenty-eight days to reach the Capes. The voyage fromthe Capes up the bay occupied three days and a half. The passage was a very rough one, the water being especially severe from Jan. 11 to the Ast. During the period the vessel ran into several heavy gales, which she was obliged to fight carrying overweight. No serious damage was done. The Gardepee carried 400 tons of cargo, in- cluding the gun carriage for the 124-ton gun, which is to be brought over on the steamer Longull. The carriage weighs 38,500 and the frame 55,660 pounds. There was also on board the carriage for a 36.5 centimetre gun weighing 80,960 pounds, a carriage and frame for a 2i-centimetre gun weighing 19,490 pounds and an 85-ton traversing crane Weighing 56,650 pounds and some ma- terial to be used in transferring the exhibit from here to Chicago. There were three complete guns aboard. One was 12-centi- metre, with carriage and shield weighing 18,150 pounds; another was a 8.7-centimetre gun, with carriage weighing 7,854 pounds; the third wasa 7.5 centimeters, the weight of which was 4,576 pounds. The work of un- loading these vast arms is @ serious under- taking. Onecannot realize the stupendous weight of a big Krupp gun until he sees it. Capt. West says that there was a good deal of difficulty in placing the big pieces of ord- nance on board the Lonquil, which is now at Hamburg. The vessel bas 40-foot hatch- ways, but the deck was cut for a distance of ten feet in order to take on the exhibit to be sent over here by the Krupp company. This exhibit will be an tnstructive one to Americans, It will show them what destruct- ive enginesof war Germany and other for- eign nations are prepared to use against us. The cars which will take these guns to Chi- cago were built at the Altoona shops of the Pennsylvania railroad, after designs made at the Krupp works. — — Revised the Schedule.

NORFOLK, Va., Jan. 28.—The steam yacht Sagamore is at Hampton Roads, having re- turned from an extended trip in Southern waters, where she encountered very severe weather. After leaving Nassau and Havana the yacht put in at Bermuda and sailed from there for New York Jan. 4. Jan. ö she ran into a heavy gale, which increased toa hurricane on the 6th. The yacht was hove to for twenty-four hours with everything battered down, At mid- night, during the height of the storm, St. Elmo’s light was seen on all the masts and yardsof the vessel. A fearful sea was running, with waves at least fifty feet in height from valley to crest, but the boat was so skillfully handled by Capt. Charles Scott that only one sea boarded her. ‘That one, however, carried away the dingey and smashed the ventilators, making all the staterooms very wet and uncomfortable. After riding out the worst of the storm the yacht put about and ran back to Bermuda, arriving there Jan. 9, and after coaling up, left again Jan. 16, en- countering rough weather all the way to Cape Hatteras. She was laid to two days and then proceeded to Hampton Roads, where her rudder was carried away by the ice. The party on board, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Ful- ton, Jr., Miss Fulton, Miss Weckham, Mr. David A. Tod, Mr. W. Duane and Mr. Robert Howard Russell, returned to New York. The yachtis expected tosail for New York in a bout a week. She sailed from there on Dec. 14, On this trip. HOW FASHIONS ARI LAUNCHED. Popular Actresses Are the Best Agents for Starting a New Style. From the London Telegraph. On the whole, it might be found that the most profitable ‘‘block’’ which could be sub- sidized by dressmakers and milliners is the actress in vogue who shines pre-eminently in modern comedy or modern vaudeville. In such pieces as ‘‘La Famille Renoiton,’’ ‘‘La Monde ou l'on s’amuse,’’ and Les Femmes Fortes,’’ some of the lady members of the company, who wore as many as three or four costumes in the course of the evening— dresses made from the costliest materials and confected with the most exquisite taste —served, perhaps, as better advertisements than if they had been only beheld fora few hours and at irregular intervals in the Bols. on a race course, or at some fashionable concert or dazaar. The ‘‘manne- quin’’ of the stage is movable; the ladies in the boxes and the gentlemen in the stalls can criticise the dress irom every point of view, and decide whether the corsage and the train equaled or surpassed the bodice and petti- coat seen from the front. Even the plebelan element in the audience is pleased and in- cited toemulation by the spectacle of these dazzling and strictly up-to-date costumes, and when the dresses are associated with the names of justly favorite actresses a stamp of approval is at once given to the dressmaking establishment, to which cunning paragraphs in the smaller newspapers never fall to draw attention. Nevertheless, it must be well understood that the mere puffing of a dressmaker’s bust. ness by supplying tasteful costumes to ladies and actresses, who wear them on the under- standing that they are not to pay for them, is not, in Paris at least, the sole method by which widely spread fashionable acceptance can be obtained dy the artists in costume. The *‘mannegquin’’ or *‘block’’ system“ is a very old one ina modish sense and has been applied in bygone times to dandies as well as belles. Beau Brummel was never called upon, so the scandalmongers of three genera- tions since used to whisper, to pay for acoat, or a hat, ora pair of ts. He had but to name his tallor, his hatteror his bootmaker in ordinary, and the grateful tradesman, to whose shop crowds of would-be beaux had resorted, was not only too giad to let his *‘*mannequin’’ have his equipments for nothing, but would also occasionally present him with a check fora good round sum. As a matter of fact, however, when the poor Beau collapsed financially, and had to take refuge at Calais, it was found that among the creditors who had hunted him out of En- gland were whole brigades of tallors and other tradespeople. Precisely the same cal. umny, of having acted as a tatlor’s block, used to be circulated, and probably with about the same infusion of truth in it, concerning Count Alfred d’Orsay, who, tween 1880 an 1840 was un- deniably the leader of London fashions for | argent as the great Stultgand the greater ugee were the acknowledged monarchs of the Kingdom of tallory. As respects the launching of fashions for ladies, itis not im- probable that well-known names, whether they be aristocratic, operatic or dramatic, render very signal service in enabling suc. cessive types of the good ship, ‘‘Fash- jonable Frivolity,’’ to walk the waters like so many things of life; but before a fashion can be launched it must be bullt, and before it is constructed it must be devised, y invented, it must be ro f-mutton sleeves, the long feather boas, t factor req the introduction of a new or ted There ust ta m ality, and that of the stron dressmaker or meg oom Ind — — —— — A WICKED PREACHER. He Elopes With a Young Girl, Leaving a Wife and Feur Children. GAINESVILLE, Tex., Jan. 28.—Rev, Marcus Blaylock, Methodist preacher at Dexter, this county, and Miss Nettie Robinson, aged 19, eloped Thursday. Mr. Blaylock leaves four children and a wife, who is an invalid. Blay- ock is about 40 years of age. He left Dexter ostensibly on a missionary tour through his district and met Miss Robinson, who had also left her home to visit friends. The two went to Whitesboro with a team borrowed by Mr. Blaylock, and thence to Ft. Worth, which is the last place that they have been heard from. At Ft. Worth Blaylock wrote back, directing where the team could be found and informing his parishioners that Nettie was well and extremely happy. A Spook With a Spade. NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—An apparition ts said to haunt the trestle of the New York & Rock- away Beach Rallroad across Jamaica avenue, at Brooklyn Hills, L. I. Superstitious people say it is the spirit of an Italian who was killed in the cut last spring. The spook first made its appearance on Thursday night, when James Dolan of Clarenceville claims he sa it. Dolan describes the ghost as being a tall, gaunt -figure, with a long fi ing robe, In its right hand carried a spade, which it waved aloft. The figure, he says, was standing on the trestle Jumping up and down and flourishing Its arms. Dolan made a detour to avoid the object, but declares it followed him. At last he rushed beneath the trestle. Dolan is sure it made a pass at him with the spade. On Friday night a party of ten, headed by Henry Burchell, watched for the ghost with a spade. When it appeared the watchers fled. Their description tallies with Dolan’s, De- tective Swift will watch for the alleged spook with a spade, Mourns for Her Watch. Some days ago the advertisement of a Mrs. Dr. Emerson, a fortune-teller, attracted the attention of Mrs. Adam Baumberger of 926 Market street. For the purpose of having her fortune told she visited the alleged clair- voyant at 1927 Olive street, the address given, and was informed that a peep into the future would cost her just $10. She was unwill- ingto pay this amount, because her hus- band was out of employment, and she so informed the woman of mystery, who kindly offered to take her watch, valued at about $59, as security. Seeing her hesitate the doctress threw in the additional inducement ofa promise to secure her hus- banda situation. The transfer was made, but when Mrs. Baumberger called three days later in obedience to instructions, she found, she says, that Mrs. Emerson had flown, leaving no address, and taking with her the watch. The police have been notified. The Treacherous Wire. Another accident last night, witnessed by over 100 persons, adds strength tothe argu- ment that has been presented by the Posr- DISPATCH, advocating the burying of the overhead wires. At 9:30 o’clock last night while hundreds or men, women and children were wending their way homeward on Washington avenue and Sixth street, a live wire fell, striking a passing street car crowded with people, and glancing of was hurled across the street to the Lindell Hotel, where two dozen persons were standing. A blue lame of fifty yards in length shot out which caused women to shriek and men to fly in terror. As a heavy rain was falling at the time, no one happened to be under the deadly wire, or else great loss of life may have been the result instead of a miraculous escape of those who happened to bein the immediate vicinity at the time of the accident. An Invention in Plumbing. Messrs. S. M. Freede and J. G. Brown of this city have perfected a device for coupling or joining lead pipe without the use of solder or wipe joints.“ Their invention is the re. sult ofseveral years of experimenting and consists of two couplin parts and an intermediate cone-shape When two pieces of lead pipe are to be joined together, one of the parts that form the coupler is slipped on one piece and the other part of the coupler is placed opposite on the second piece of the pipe. Then by means of a swedging tool these ends are prepared to réceive the cone-shaped hollow core, which ts placed between them, after which these partsare brought together by screwing up the coupler, thereby forming by compres. sion an absolutely air or water-tight joint, Educational Association Meeting.

LONDON, Jan. 28.—Here is a curious story told to the Post-Dispatcu correspondent to- Gay about the release of Dynamiter Callan, who sailed for New York a few days ago on the steamer Fuerst Bismarck. One of the latest official acts of Mr. Matthews, late Tory Home Secretary, it is asserted, was to order that Dynamiter Callan be set free. Formalities had to be complied with, however, and these Were not settled untilthe change of govern- ment. The case was then reviewed by his Successor, Mr. Asquith, the story goes, who at once directed that Mr. Matthews’ order be carried out, The whole secret of Mr. Matthews’ action is declared to be sim- ply this: He knew that when the Liberals came into power they would be forced to look into the sentences of the dyna- miters and he wanted to prevent an investi- gation into Callan’s case. Callan with two other men, Harkins and Cohen, were active members in what was known asthe jubilee plot, because it was discovered in the jubilee year, Cohen, who wasa police agent from the first and the prime mover in the plot, died in London before Callan and Harkins had made use of the dynamite which had been supplied to them. Thereupon they endeavored to get rid of the explosives, ana itis said Dr. Anderson, Le Caron’s patron, and head of the Criminal Snvestigation De- partment, fearing that the whole plan would fizzle out and that the political effect it was hoped to obtain by it would be lost, had Cal - lan and Harkins arrested. : Callan and Harkins had been sent to the House of Commons more than once to have interviews with Irish members. Most elabo- rate plans were laid to provide a big politi- cal demonstration by showing the intimacy ofthe Irish members with the dynamiters. Of course the men were sentenced after all this. Harkins was released two years or so and died in America. MATTHEWS’ PURPOSE. With the release of Mr. Callan, Mr. Matthews hoped to close the incident alto- gether and prevent inquiry into the origin of the great jubilee plot. When Callan’s release was announced the Unionist newspapers started to flercely at- tack Mr. Asquith, but they suddenly dropped the subject and cannot be induced to revert to it even by the taunts of their en- emies. If he is attacked Mr. Asquith can show, it is maintained, that the Jubilee plot was planned by English police agents in America, andthat Callanand Harkins were dupes. Thatisthestory in brief, and the member of Parliament who told it to the Post-DiIsPATCH correspondent believes it himself. Egan, the other released prisoner, goes to Dublin Monday night and will be received by atorchlight procession by the Amnesty As- sociation. The Parnellites are trying to **nobble’’ Egan for their side, and the Me- Carthyites are claiming they secured his re- lease. Great pressure Ils being put on Rea- mond by his extreme followers to induce him to create a vacancy in his parliamentary following so that Egan may be asked to stand. But nobody wants to retire to make way for him. In any case it would be a mere demonstration, as Egan could not take his seat. He was only released on a ticket of leave. Little by little facts aboutthe home rule bill are creeping out. The Dill has been framed in all important respects in accord- dance with the views of Parnell himself. When Parnell visited Gladstone at Ha- warden in December, 1889, certain mem. oranda were made by Parnell §stat- ing in formal terms what he would be prepared to accept. Again, during the Boulogne negotiations in 1891, he wrote fur. ther memoranda. Parnell’s suggestions in these documents, dealipg with the veto, po- lice, judiciary and land question, have been embodied in the forthcoming Dill. THE HURLBURT CASE. The Hurlbert case promises to be re-opened through the revelations of Mrs. Emmeline Herbert, one of the witnesses mysteriously absent during the Hurlburt trial. Every- body remembers, of course, the odd defense, in which Mr. Hurlburt took the ground that some very wicked person named Wilfred Murray was presented as going around doing all sorts of wrong fn his name. The court failed to absolutely fix the identity of Hurlburt and Murray, largely Owing to the absence from the stand of Mrs. Herbert. She was in court at the time, but merely as a _ spectator, not as a witness. Hurlburt had a singularly fascinating way with women, and during the trial Mrs. Herbert was much in love with him. So her testimony was not given. Now that Mr. Hurlburt has disap- d and supplies have stopped coming from the Hurlbert family, the sincere affection of Mrs. Herbert is not burn: as brightly as of old and she is willing to into court and tell things which will make it in- teresting for her old lover, There isa gen- eral impression that Hurlburt isin Belgium, but nobody seems able to put a finger on him. If ne were poor and wanted not much time would be lost in finding him. It is much the same in the case of Cornelius Herzof Panama) Canal infamy. He has oceans of money, and his arrest is an arrest in name only. He still keeps his place in the hotel at Bournemouth. In order that he shall not be disturbed by rude and inquisi- tive visitors he has taken the entire estab- lishment. No other guests are allowed there, and he and his family and two police officials have the building all to themselves. The doctor gives no promise that he can be moved ARCH DRUID PRICE’S FUNERAL. Te great Arch Drutd Price promises to na ve a funeral that is a funeral. Just before dying he asked that his body be burned to ashes, not in the reverent style in which they Durn bodies over at Fresh Pond Cemetery, mut in that old-fashioned way that held good len the Druids ruled the woods, He wanted n outin the common, tossed on and coal and burned to en * nan * a een ee et e — aay. They say it.will not be nice to have his body exposed to a gaping crowd and so they have invented a kind of sheet-iron cylinder in which he can be putin and then burned out in the open airas he asked. Mr. Price burned his little son some years ago in much the same way. Nowhere else in the world can one find such extraordinary love for litigation as right here. FLYING TO THE COURTS. To the casual observer Is seems as if half the people in the country were suing the other half or being sued for something or other. The other day a long-suffering jury rose in violent objection to petty suits for slander and libel they had to deal with. Jus- tice Day took the same ground. No matter what happens to annoy one over here, he is sure to find some remedy for the hurt in the courts that is, if writing to the Times about it fails to satisfy him. Take extraordinary cases yesterday as instances. One man sued a newspaper because his play was not reviewed to his liking, and another sued because his book was not nicely spoken of. Theatrical case was like this: Melford wrote a play called The Mael- strom’’ which was produced last April at the Shaftsbury Theater, According to the critics and everybody else unfortunate enough to be present, the play was ‘‘simply awful.“ Its badness was of Eiffel Tower proportions. It was fire, murder, arson, sudden death, plague, pestilence that walk- eth by noonday and cholera’ bacillus, all rolled into one. It was worth going miles to see as a Mere matter of badness, and yet all those long suffering critics of the news- papers, called the people, said of it was hooted off the stage. Itactually was hooted and groaned at, but the actors still kept on playing. It was a sort of James Owen O’Uon- nor show. Every newspaperin London the next morning said it was worse than bad. Yet simply because the people said it was hooted offthe stagethe author brought suit for libel and got judgment for $250, with costs, amounting to a good deal more; all of which teaches us that it pays to speak well of a bad play over here. The othercase has not yet been decided, but there is no doubt the author will get a verdict. Mrs. A. Wallace, who wrote a story of the Robert Elsmere’’ gort called ‘‘in thejservice of love.’’ Inthe intro- duction she thanked her husband for having encouraged her in certain doubts about the old faith, which were a prelude to happier hopes inthe more reasonable new faith. In its review of the volume the WNational Ob- server made some comments which the woman’s husband did not like, and now the National Observer will have to pay. Free speech and a free press are fine things, but they have their limits. The worst ot the lot though is the case of Mrs. Austin, who sued because a friend put three exclamation marks after a letter he had written. The ex- clamation points were libelious she claimed, THE GOOCH DIVORCE. The divorce sult against sir Alfred Gooch does not throw a very pleasant light upon the morals ofthe upper circles. Lady Gooch- appears fromthe evidence to have had a rather interesting time apart from her hus- band, and Sir Alfred enjoyed himself equally as well outside the society of his wife. The details have all been told before this and reveal one of the oldest and richest baronets in a light that would dis- credit Avenue A. PRINCESS MARGARET’S MARRIAGE. The royal marriage of Princess Mar- garet at Berlin came too soon after the other princely wedding at Sigmar- ingen to attract the attention it deserved. The most notable feature was ‘the dance by torch light, which ended the festivities. This is the way is done: The Emperor invites the bride for the first round dance, the Empress engaging the bridegroom. The bride then invites each prince in turn todance with her, the bridegroom doing the same with the princesses present. At the end of the torch- light dancethe royal couple are conducted to their rooms by the Emperor, the Em- press and the whole assembly of royal guests, at the entrance to which the crown Is removed and given into the hands ot treas- ury Officials, the garter of the princess is divided amongthe bridemaids according to traditional custom, and then the Emperor declares the ceremonies over and the guests disperse. it VERY PLAIN ENGLISH.{ The temperance people have been attract- ing attention to the ſrrevent utterances this week. They lay the blame on the miracle of turning water into wine, and say itis a mat- ter of regretthat the New Testament has done so little fortemperance. Ata meeting in which Dr. Parker was prom- inent, this simple = passed: © the liquor traffic.’’ Of course there is a good deal of natural indignation at these altogether too plain spoken words. Somewhat in the same line of endeavor to make people better,is the dry announcement made in a yearly statis- ticalreport, that thirty people starved to death in London last year. This is one about every ten days actually dying from want of food. It is not food alone that costs over here, but water isalmostas expensive, if the public state- ment of Alderman Treloar can be believed. Ata meeting of the commissioners, the other day, he said that in many cases the amount charged for water tax was so excessive for the quantity use@ it would have been cheaper forthe tenants to haue used champagne, This in an official report, mind you, The Lord Mayor has taken up the cholera question ana is working withthe mayors of allthe big towns in the Kingdom to keep together trained nurses in view of the ex- pected inroad.

ROYALISTS’ HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. Comte of Haus eonville, the Duc de Erog- lie and Their Families. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POsT-DISPATCH. Pants, Jan. 14.—The political complications caused by the Panama scandals have not in any way interfered with gayeties; on the ntrary, events have given courage to Royalists and Bonapartists, and afternoon teas, dinners and solrees are the occasions for innocent conspiracies, as in the time of La Fronde, The Comte Ortheinin d' Haussonville has just returned from Madrid, where he had been to meet the Comte de Paris and his son. The return of Comte d’Haussonville is the occa- sion fora series of Royalist dinners, and all Over France hopeful Royalists are anxiously watching the movements of the Come de Paris’ representative. The Duc de Broglie, whoisan uncle of the Comte d’Haussonville, is called the Jupiter Olympus ofthe Orleanists. It is said that the Duke did not care for the monarchy of the Comte de Chamboro, Henry V., because it was beyond him, because this King would have crushed the Duchy of the Duc de Brog- lie. But, onthe contrary, the Duke is said to approve of the monarchy of Philippe Egalite’s descendants, because he can dis- dain it. Hefeels himself to be of greater nobility. In all respects, the Duc de Broglie isa re- markable man, but he does not live in an age appropriate to his character, an age that can give scope tohis talents. He is more than 70 years old, and has had experience as poli- ticlan, diplomat and academician. Under Marechal de MacMahon, the Duc de Broglie was Prime Minister, and then did all in his power to overthrow the Republic. Un- successful, he resigned his position as Sen- ator, and devoted himself to historical studies. During Thiers’ administration the Duc de Broglie was also Prime tween these two appointments he was sent as Ambassador to England. As he was sent by Thiers, he was ashamed to be the envoy of a repubiic, and tried not in any way to make himself agreeable. However, the Duc de Broglie was so much liked that in spite of his indifference he left many friends in English soctety. The Duke always seems indifferent to what goes on around him, andit is said that when with his colleagues in the Cabinet he wore an air that seemed to indicate he was thinking “et everything but what one was saying to m. The Duke permits conversation, but does not seem to pay attention; for instance, it is related that when the Comte d' Haussonvilie at one time returned from London he went to the house of the Duke ‘and began to de- scribe his interview with the Comte de Paris, etc. Inthe midst of his recital the Count interrupted himself. . **Dol fatigue you, uncle?“ No, not at all. Iam not listening. The Duc de Broglie's home is in the Rue Solierino, the facade of the house in modern, but the interior resembles an old museum. The hangings are faded, the wood carvings of great antiquity andonthe walls are many generations of Broglies, looking out from their frames of tarnished gold. The Broglies were dukes and peers under Louis XIV., but after the battle of Bergen, the Empress Marie Theresa conferred on Marechal de Broglie the title of Prince of the Saint Empress. All the members of the fam- fly are Princesses, but the chief alone, bears the title of duke. At the beginning of thiscentury Duc Vic- tor de Broglie married Albertine de Stael- Holstm, granddaugter of Necker, and daugh- ter of Mme. de Stael. The literary talent of the family is therefore hereditary, for the three children of Albertine de Stael were en- dowed with great gifts. The second is the Duc de Broglie, whois one of the forty im- mortals;the third, Abbe de Broglie, who di- vides his time between abstruse philosophy and the poor, and the eldest, the mother of Comte d' Haussonville, Princess Louise de Broglie, who died some time ago. It will be remembered that Mme, de Stael belonged to the reformed religion, so that it was ar- ranged that while the sons of her daughter should be Catholic, the little girl, Louise, wastobe trained in the Protestant faith. Princess Louise de Broglie, sister of the present Duke, and mother of the Comte de Paris’ representative in France, was one of the most remarkable women of her time. Her literary talentsand artistic taste were unguestioned and her writings made a deep impression on her contemporaries. The first work was ‘‘Robert Emmet’’ and then fol- lowed ‘‘Souvenirs of a Maid of Honor of the Duchess of Burgundy,’’ Marguerite de Valois,’’ The Youth of Lord Byron,“ and „„The Last Years of Lord Byron.“ In 1852 the receptions of Comtesse d' Haussonville be- gan to be celebrated and among those always present were the Comte d’Harcourt, French Ambassador to England; M. de Reinnsat, Taine, Prerost, Paradol, etc. At these recep- tions the Comtesse d’Haussonville was always aided by her brother, the Duc de Broglie, and together they planned their lit- erary work. Perhapsthe delicate criticism of his sister enabled the Duke to polish the works that carried himtothe French Acad- emy; these works were Frederick II. and Marie Therese and The King’s Secret.“ Thus the Comte d’Haussonville, who rep- resents the Comte de Parisin France, isa member ofthe House of Broglie, ‘‘the most noble among literary names, the most liter. ary among those that are illustrious. ’’ The present Comtesse d’Haussonville is a very worthy successor of her famous mother- in-law, for on Pauline d’Harcourt, Comtesse a’ Haussonville, has fallen the mantle of the Princess Louise. Her mother also made a literary reputation by her ‘‘History of the Duchess of Orleans,’’ so thatthe salon of the d’Haussonvilles is ey a literary salon. The celebrated ouse in the Rue Las Cases is frequented by the elite of French society, but birth alone is nota he sufficient for the admission. The d' Haussonvilles for generations have been literateurs, and although the Countess does not write herself, she warmly welcomes those who do. Her dearest friend is the Com- tesse de Paris,and a few privileged ones have received the photograph of Princess and Countess, side by side. The Comtesse d' Haussonville is also intimate with the Duchesse de Dondeauville, Duchesse de Luy- nes, Duchesse de Monehy and the families, Noallies, Ganay, Beaumonte and Vogue. Comte de Haussonville is one of the youngest among the immortals, and in his marriage le. d' Harcourt he has found a worthy successes. The summer ussonvilles is at Fontaine- „ 4 4 continually en- .

OUTFITTING COMPANY, — MR. ZEPP AGREES, He Thinks the Circuit Clerk’s Office Sys- tem I$ a Bad One. : —* an TO BE ON THE RIGHT GIDE HE MAKES TWO REPORTS. One Will Be Filed With the Judges and the Other With the Comptrol:er—Liti- gation Is Not es Heavy as It Was Years, Ago, but the Office Working Force Has Been Greatly Increased Mr. Phil Zepp, Clerk of the Circuit Court, has prepared his annual statement, and says that as there seems to be some doubt still as to who the proper and legal parties are to audit it, ne will nle one copy with the Court in general term and another with the City Comptroller. Mr. Zepp also states that he thinks the Post-DISPATCH is perfectly cor- rect inthe view it takes about the present system governing the Circuit Clerk’s office, and that it should be abolished and all the officers and clerks made to receive fixed salaries. When he went into office, he says, he found the present system had been followed for years by his prede- cessors and he had no power to change it, Mr. Clarence Hobiitzelle, the chief deputy, does not agree with Mr. Zepp, but thinks the system an excellent one. The system may be allright, but thereisa great deal in the way in which a system is worked and by whom it is worked. Under the present systemthecity has received as high as $11,000 and $12,000 per year asa sur- pius from the Circuit Clerk’s office, and this after all deputies and assist- tants were paid their salaries in fall. Under the same system the city has received nothing for three years back, and yetthe deputies have been short in their salaries just $800 each in that time, DECLINE IN LITIGATION, Mr. Zepp has claimed a falling off in liti- gation. This is true as compared with the litigation of eight or ten years ago, but for the past three years there has not been a falling off, but a steady increase in the number of cases filed. But if, as he claims, the litiga- tion is not as great as it Was years ago, when large sums were turned into the City Treas- ury, the work of his office should not be as great, and hence a smaller force should be employed. As he works the system, however, the reverse is the case, as he employs a force twice as large as that of any clerk inthe palmiest days of litiga- tion. The Ulerks of the Criminal Court and of the Court of Criminal Correction are allowed $8,500 each Dy law for the running expenses Of their respective offices. The clerks receive $8,500 each and can yo = 1 deputies vide y do not swell the total cost teyond $8,500. Last year ur. Zepp’s salaried acconnt was $42,885; the year before it was $41, 020.6), — 8 — pecan n $43,159.62; in 1891. 848. 183.05, and jast year, 843754. In 1890 his deputies were $500 each short on their salaries; in 1891 they were paid in full, and last year they were short each. It would appear. then what Mr. Zepp calls „the system can be worked tosuit any con- d at the same time show dition of affairs, an ius for the city. of — — ite eposit time which’ are 1 cases, and the up“ into the of dollars . * had It was these funds that Thornton had been largely using and from which arose his defal- cation. After we had removed himand ap- pointed another clerk I remember that I my- self drew the orders which compelled the clerk to make a report at the beginning of each term of all moneys received as deposits in trust to the Judge of each court-raom, as well as the amounts paid out from them during that ime. He wasalso required to deposit these funds at certain banks. subject to be drawn out only on a check signed by himseif and countersigned by the Judge. This sys- tem 18 in vogue at the Circuit Court to-day. When we had adjusted this matter of trust funds and deposits, we next took up the question of making the clerk send in a full and complete statement of all fees received by him from every source, „e had no doubt whatever of our author- ity to do this under the provisions of the statutes governing all county courts in the State. But the question was ralsed that the scheme and charter which had recently gone into effect might have al- tered this, so Judge Gottschalk, who was then on the bench, looked the entire matter up and reached the conclusion that there had been nothing done inthe formation of the scheme and charter to repeal these old laws on the subject. Upon Judge Gottschalk’s retirement from the bench he became the attorney for Mr. Charles Vogel, who was then Clerk of the court, and at Mr. Nogel’s instance he prepared an elaborate opinion on the subject, in which he showed Mr. Vogel that he was compelled to make his state- ments tothe judges of the Circuit Court in general term, This stands to reason when the law pro- vides that the Circuit Judges shall order the Clerk to pay over the surplus in ais hands to the City Treasurer. If the judges are empowered to order the surplus paid over, it follows that it is their duty to ascertain what that surplus is. Otherwise they are placed ina pecullar post- tion. Besides, on general principles the Court certainly was intended to have control and supervision of affairs in its clerk’s office, and this is borne out by the fact that there was notning in the scheme and charter going to show that there was any intentien to re- peal the old law in this respect. I still am of the opinion that the Circuit Judges should examine those accounts and also that the City Comptroller should be sent a copy, so that he might present any objections to them that he may see, as the city isa directly interested party and he is the chief financial officer.’’ Did the Court control the appointment of deputies at that time?’’ As a matter of course, we saw that every- thing was run within proper bounds.’’ 3 How many deputies and assistants were there then?’’ „Well let me see’’—here the Judge took a pencil and after considering awhile said: There were not more than twelve in all I think, though later there were two more added as back-tax clerks when the “ng was authorized to bring suit on these bills in the Circuit Court. Did you usually have a surplus then?’’ „„es, Iknow that the court turned in as much as $11,000 in one year at that time, litigation being much heavier.’’ When he was informed that the present clerk had a force of twenty-four deputies and assistants, the Judge simply contracted his brow and looxed at the model of a tunnel on an adjoining desk, Mr. John Lewis, whois now Clerk of the Court of Appeals. and who was Olerk of the County Court when the salary was only $2,500, said that in his time, and also when he was Deputy Clerk under Mr. Vogel, the force of clerks was not greater than ff- teen men in all, and the litigation was three times heavier than at present. „ <A CONUNDRUM. Mr. Zepp makes claims that litigation has greatly fallen off in late years, and that where he was accustomed to receive $17 fora transcript he now received but $4 or $5, as it isno longer necessary to carry the whole bulky transcript to the other court. Admitting both of these statements to be true, how is it that he requires a force of twenty-four clerks to do what twelve or fifteen did years ago, when the number of cases on the dockets were three times as large as they are now and when the entire record had to be copied in making outa transcript?

Even the best novelists should guard them- selves with double care when they write a story based on matters which require a knowledge of technicalities. Especially should this be the case with those who choose to base their stories on matters connected with the turf, for there is no class of people on the earth who have such an extended technical vocabulary, and who are more ready to seize upon and to hold up to ridicule those who offend against it than those who follow the races. Mr. Conan Doyle, a most entertaining and prolific author, does not know anything about theturf, and he has written a novelaboutit. You will have to read but a few pages to find out how very very little Mr. Doyle knows about horse rac- ing. The story is called The Adventure of Silver Blaze. The trainer inthis story tries to lame his own horse by nicking a tendon in the creat- ure’s ham, after practicing the operation on some of hissheep. It isa novel method of laming a horse, and weare to su e that in order todo it hedrugs one of his three boys with curried mutton, and, the other two being asleep, leads the horse out of the stable. The horse kicks and kills him, 1s found and taken possession of by a neighbor- ing trainer who has the second favorite in his charge, and so is anxious to hide Silver Blaze at any rate till after the race. All this strikes one as exceedingly farfetched. If a trainer wanted toinjure his horse and had drugged the hes By he would carry out his proj- ect in the stable where he could be certain of privacy, and where the animal’s head could be fastened. This catastrophe happened on Monday, and on that evening, according to yle, the horses had been exercised and Watered as usual at 9 o’clock.’* The italics are not Mr. Doyle’s. There are very few trainers who exercise and water their horsesin the even- ing and Go not lock the stables until9o0’clock. In another place a stableboy is made to say that one horse could give another a hundred yards in five furlongs, Mr. Doyle forgetting that in turf matters handicaps are always reckoned by weight. For instance, the stable-boy should have said that one horse was twenty pounds, etc., better than another. No one would say of a horse that ‘‘he is now in his fifth year, that is, no one but Mr. Doyle. 2 a few years thereafter he would speak of the animal as being in the sere and yellow leaf. The proper thing isto call him a 4-year-old. Silver Blaze is also said to have brought off ‘‘in turn each of the prizes of the turf.’’ He must have been a remark- The word jacket The ner. isap erth and. a race by ix lengths.

The American Statistical Association pub- lished recently in its quarterly bulletin some interesting suicide statistics gathered in New England through a period of thirty years, From these statisticsit is seen that the gul- cidal tendency is steadily increasing in the tour States of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Vermont, and that the increase since 1860 has been at least 10 per cent. The data pro- sented show that in Massachusetts, Vermont and Rhode Island there is a very st and consistent increase in the rate per m a while in Connecticut the increase has been surprisingly out of proportion, which, the writer says, is difficult to parallel in En- lish-speaking countrſes. From! 1865, or example, the average number of suicides per million in Connecticut was 46, While from 1880 to 1885 the average was 108,whirh ts far in excess of that shown by the statistics of the other States mentioned. The figures presented the association show that the popular beliefthatthe max- imum tendency. toward suicide is found in the earlier ages is erroneous, and that, aga matter of fact,the maximum tendency males, at least, fails between the ages of 70 and 80. This result is found to be very con- sistent throughout each successive year. The same uniformity is not found in tue female sex, in which the tendency toward suicide is more evenly distributed all through life than in,;the male sex. April appears from these statistics to be the most propitious month for the suicide mania. ‘There can be no doubt that the maximum is reached in that monfh, as the statistics in all the States produce the same results asto seasonal laws. The number of suicides in the New Eng States is found tu have occurred in the month of February. Hanging may be saia to be the most popu- lar method of suiciae for males and for femaies.

A great many more have what “might be called a passive interest. How use- ful the institution of divorce is to the people of this enlightened Republic may be gathered . from the statistics compiled by Labor Com- missioner Wright for twenty years ending in 1886. It was shown that during that time 828.716 decrees were granted for various causes which are to be specified. This would indicate that at least 75,000 people had come to the conclusion and had publicly announced their opinion that marriage as they had found it is a fallure. A cynic who has little sympathy with the statute of divorce declares that the main reason which excites a man or woman to ap- ply for the severance of the marriage tie 1s the desire to marry somebody else. Be this as it may, it is certainly not a principle rec- Ognized by the courts. But there are in nearly all the States certain offenses that are recognized as paramount, and these should be treated first. They are adultery and abandonment, ABANDONMENT. The statutes of the various States differ somewhat jn phraseology. Some use the word ‘‘abandonment,’’ others ‘‘desertion,’’ but they are practically synonymous. The exact provisions of the States with reference to the charge of abandonment may be sum- marized as follows: New Mexico and Washington provide sim- ply for the general charge of abandonment. Louisiana, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia take notice of abandonment from bed and board The two Virginias, however, provide further that forabandonment or desertion for five years without reconciliation the court may decree the divorce absolute. Kansas and Kentucky, abandonment for one year. 7 Missour!, absenting himself or herself by husband or Tor one year. Nebraska, willful abandonment for one year. Maryland, Ohio and New Hampshire, aban- | donment for three years. Maryland pro- vides that the abandonment is deliberate and final with nohope of reconciliation; Ohio, that itis willful; New Hampshire, that the party is unheard from. rizona is less scrupulous and decrees the length of time of the absence wife ‘‘with the intention of to be six months. Connecticut and Vermont, absence of seven years unheard from. ; Missouri and Montana, absence of either andonment’’ year. hushand or wife. Absence of husband or wife from the habitation of the other, with- | out a reasonable excuse, tor two years. THE CHARGE OF DESERTION. Twenty-eight States and Territories specify desertion as a cause for divorce. Idaho, North and South Dakota provide wiliful and malicious desertion, Montana for from the State without intention of return- ing. The one-year limit of desertion is pre- scribed by Florida, ‘‘willful, obstinate and continued,’’ Nevada, Oregon and Wisconsin. The two years’ limit affects Alabama, ‘‘vol- antary;’’ Illinois, without reasonable cause; Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, ‘*will- ful, continued and obstinate;’’ Nebraska, ‘*utter;’’ Tennessee, ‘‘willfulor malicious, or absence without reasonable cause.’’ Three years’ grace is allowed by Connecti- cut, with total neglect of duty;’’ Delaware, Georgia, ‘‘wilifal;’’ Maine, ‘‘utter;’’ Minne- gota, ‘‘willful:’’ Vermont, ‘‘willful.’’ New Jersey provides against willful, con- tinued and obstinate desertion for five years; Utah against willful desertion for more than ayear,and the Virginias against desertion from bed and board, the decree to be abso- lute if desertion extends to five years. PROVISION FOR NEGLECT. ‘*Neglect’’ is another provision that would come along naturally with clauses relating to abandonment and desertion. It is summed up herewith concisely, as it is treated in the divorce laws: Willful neglect is considered sufficient prov- ocation for divorce in alifornia, North and South Dakota and Idaho. Failure by husband to provide for his fam- ily for two years in Indiana. Failure by husband to provide for his wife the necessaries and comforts of life for six | months, where able to do su, orifthe failure | is by reason of his idleness, profligacy or dis- sipation, in Arizona. Gross neglect of duty in Kansas. Refusing or neglecting to maintain his fam. fly, when husband is sufficiently able (lim- ited divorce), in Nebraska. Failure of husband to provide for his fam- | ily for one year, if not the result of his pov- erty which he could not avold by ordinary industry, in Nevada. Any gross neglect of duty, in Ohio. Fallure to support a wife, in Washington. Failure to provide for his family, unless caused by poverty of the husband, in Wyo- ming. Grossly, wantonly and cruelly refusing to rovide for a wife, in Vermont. Willful failure to provide for wife, in Utah. . Refusal to provide for his wife, If able, in Rhode Island. Where able to maintain his wife a husband sly, wantonly and cruelly refuses to do 80, a limited divorce or absolute, in the dis- cretion of the court, in Michigan. Inall parts of the United States, South Carolina excepted, adultery is recognized as anexcellent cause for divorce. In certain States, however, there are certain restric. tions and provisions which it is well to note. In Arizona the law is expressed ‘*when taken in adultery;’’ in Texas, when taken in adultery or ‘voluntarily leaving bed anp board of busb@nd’’ as tothe wife, ‘‘abandon- | nt and Mying in adultery with another — as to the husband; in North Caro. lina, it wife commit adultery or either shall separate from the other and live In adu itery.’’ In Oregon and Washington the suit must be ‘brought within one year; in, Minnesota with- in three years after knowledge of the offense. Tennessee allows, a; a defense, that the husband allowed wrong doing of the wife for hire or exposed her to lewd company. The marriage ofthe defendant, when d- vorce is gran on the ground of infidelity with the pe with whom the offense was committed, is prohibited in Delaware and in Louisiana. hibition is made during the life of = aides husband or wife in New York, nnsyivania and Tennessee. en Georgia the disability may be imposed de ree. irginia the court may decree that the one shall not remarry, but on good may revoke it. —— mite, trom whom the hus- band has obtained a divorce for infidelity on 5 nd con deprived of power to alienate her all aeeds, wills, appointmen is ances made by her are void.

How to save human lives on stormy sea- coasts, is a question that always awakens the liveliest interestin humane minds, and each improvement in the appliances used is astep toward the clearing up of a problem that stanas in the way of governments with unlimited means at their command and an earnest desire to lessen the dangers of navi- | gation. Each year yields its multitude of expedients for preventing disasters, yet the question is as pressinw to-day as it was fifty years ago. It is true that much has been done to improve the life-saving service in this country, and the most dangérous coasts are closely guarded day and night by watchers for signals of distress. The low sand · bound shores of Virginia are perbaps the most perilous to the mariner within the governmental jurisdiction of the United States. Thestormsthat dash against Cape Hatteras and sweep the wastes below it have sent many a sailor to Davy Jones’ locker and strewn the sands with human bodies. It is here that discipline of the service is most | rigidly enforced and faithful duty is per- | formed by men who receive small recom- of vioſent and ungovernable temper, in Florida. When a husband has committed actual vio- _ lence on the person of his wife, attended with danger tol.fe and health, or when from his conduct there is reasonable apprehension of such violence, in Alabama.

Inthisarticle there have been considered | only what may be called the grand causes for | divorce—that is tosay, adultery, abandon- ment or desertion, neglect and cruelty, as they have been considered by the lawmakers | of the various commonwealths. An extensive list is, however, yet to follow and will be reserved for a future article,with general re- marks on the trial of divorce cases, the facility of practice in the courts and the ten- dency of States to promote the daivorce in- dustry. While giving tive reader a clear idea | of the divorce laws and incidentally showing him where divorce may be obtained with the least embarrassment and the greatest dis- patch, he must also bear in mind that the purpose of these articles is as wella re- monstrance against lax divorce proceedings, which have resulted not infrequently in na- tional scandals.

The other day the crews of tne English schooner Sarah and Elizabeth and the Norwegian bark Vega, wrecked on Goodwin Sands, were rescued by this method of saving life. A cable | dispatch from London, England, states that | though the vessels went to pieces in a severe | gale allon board were safe!y brought to land through the agency of the useful rockets. Nevertheless this means of establishing communication with stranded vessels from the shore 18 but very imperfect. Under favorable conditions t-to shoot a rocket, with line attached, over a shiv a reasonable distance out from land is no very difficult task, but there are circum- stances under which it is well nigh impos- .sible. If the ship is far out at sea and the rocket veers in its course through its more or less erratic propulsion, or if swayed to one the force of the wind, tne missed and valuable time which may cost the lives of many human beings. It not infrequently happens that vessels are too far away to be reached by rockets at all, and then of course, they are of no efficiency whatever. To de- vise some way of meeting such emergencies and improving upon the rocket shooting- plan in cases where the vessels are com- paratively close to shore has baffied the in- ventive genius of the present day, and the bustling, uncertain projectile, with tall of fire and unreliable head, must still be de- ended upon at times when livesare at stake. fany evidence other than their past failure were needed to show how utterly at a loss inventors are for expedients in the face of 4 this apparently insurmountable difficulty, it could be found in contest put on foot not long ago in England. A prize of $500 was offered to the person who would submit the best contrivance or means of establishing communication between the shore and vessels in distress, and although the offer attracted wide attention and elicited thousands of suggestions and ap- pllances, nothing more important was reached thana slight improvement on the old rocket system. Ihe awarding of the prize was left to eminent naval men and scientists, and ample time was allowed tor the working out of the designs of the inventors. ' A MULTITUDE OF 8UGGESTIONS. Of the entire number of attempts 1,899 were considered by the co issioner, the others being unworthy of attention. A good many more might very reasonably have been left unconsidered, for they were entirely imprac- ticable. The list of methods submitted in- cluded the following: Two hundred and sixty- two buoys, 242 torpedoes, 239 Kites, 167 ships, guns, 165 ship rockets, 151 mechanical boats, 124 balloons, 97 ordinary boats, 49 life rafts, 45 combinations of boats, buoys, kites, bal- loons, ship rockets and ship guns, 42 arbat- ists, catapults and spring guns, 29 birds and dogs, 27 ship mortars, 27 cranes and bridges, 19 lifeboats, 17 parachutes, 15 rockets from shore, 13 harpoons, 11 propositions to spread oll on the seas, 11 guns on shore, 9 aerial machines, 8 electrical appliances, 5 submarine’ sentries, 3 telephones, 2 otters. Besides these there were what the commission termed ‘‘fantasti- cal and miscellaneous ideas’’ to the number of ninety-eight, while thirty-six inventions were mentioned by letters containing insuf- ficient information for classification. Among the 165 ship rockets submitted,many of which were of considerable merit, was one invented by a Southampton firm. THE IMPROVEMENT. This was simply a folding grapnel that could be fittedtothe head of Boxer’s Board of Trade life savine apparatus rocket. The grapnel has arms fitted to it which keep close to its sides during the flightof the rocket, but on its touching the ground they open outand when the line begins to draw it back they grip the earth, serving as an anchor. The invention provides for either a single line or a block aud double line, according to distance and circumstances, It was repeatedly tried and the tests were en- tirely t so far as the grapnel was concerned, and it was decided that it was a great advantage to have it fitted tothe Board of Trade rocket, which was considerea by the English commission to be the best of its kind. This rocket is cl on the coasts of En.- Scotland and ireland. It is on the same principle as the ordinary rocket used in pyrotechnic displays, and is so mounted that it can ' the object sought to be The accompanyin very good idea of what if t the grapnel may also be a almost ex- “| — 1 ae mind ofan Edison to conjure up some plan to annihflate space in transferring human bodies to places of safety as he has in convey- Ing sound through vast distances, THE CIVIL COURTS. “everal New Suits Fil d Le- terday—- Von Phu! Heirs at Law. The following suits were filed in the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon: Alois T. Walo and Otto H. Walo, vs. Mag- dalena Walo and Wm. E. Fisse. Plaintiffs, are the sons of Joseph A. Walo, deceased, and defendant Magdalena Walo is his widow. Walo died in April, 189, and what purported to be his last willand testament was filed in the Probate Court shortly after. By that will Walo bequeathed all his property to his wife, and nominated Mr. Fisse as executor. Plaintiffs assert that this alleged willis no wWillatall, for the reason that for months prior to its date (March 24, 1892) the sald Joseph A. Walo, they allege, was not of sound and oaisposing mind, and that Magdalena Walo took advantage of his weak- ness of mind and unduly influenced him, and for these reasons they ask that the will be set aside. rs. Walo now lives at 2224 Sonth Broadway. : Sarah Drum and Nicholas C. Drum, her husband, vs. City of St. Louls. Plaintiff al- leges that op Jan. s last. while the ground was covered with snow, she slipped into a hole in the sidewalk on Broadway,near Ferry street, and fell and broke her left leg. She thinks thecity oughtto pay her 5810, 000 for leaving the sidewalk in so dangerous a con- dition. John H. Jones vs. St. Louis Ratliroad Co. Piaintiff, suit on account of injuries sus- tained by one of defendant’s trains running into his wagon, from which he was thrown, his shoulder being dislocated and sprained, and he permanently disabled. This, with costs for doctorsand medicine and the an- guish he endured, is, he thinks, worth $10,000, Zella R. Grimes vs. James A. Grimes. Sulit for divorce on ground of desertion. John Mehlt brought * yesterday against Anna C. Schmidt to cover $1,055, the amount alleged by him to have been unlaw- fully taken by her while they were runninga dairy in South St. Louis in 1891. A counter suit to this was filed by Mrs. Schmidt against Mehiion Jan. 14 last, in which she claims numerous amounts and makes counter Charges against him while they were jointly conducting the dairy business, alleging that she and her son did work for him. To Prove a Title. Judge Klein handed down a decision yes- terday in the case of Eliza Cooke, Maria Taylor, Julia Bird and H. v. P. Cooke vs. Benjamin Von Phul, Frederick Von Phul, Mary Von Phual, Wm. Von Phul and Stewart Von Phul. Allthe parties except Cooke are heirs of the late Henry Von Phul, and the suit involves title to a lot in block 276 at southwest corner of Ninth and Chestnut street, 67 feet on Chestnut street and 142 feeton Ninth street. The plaintiffs are in possession, equity under his father’s will, found» fact | of — — but Fred Von Phul claims an and suit was | brought to compel bim to prove his title. Judge Klein directed the entry of an order on Von Phul to bring such sult within forty days. Court Notes.

There are tricks in every trade, always ex- cepting, of course, one’s own particular trade, but it is doubtful if all the tricks used in every legitimate occupation put together w@uld equal in number the thousand and one traps and devices used by the members of the crooked fraternity to snare and plunder their fellow man; while for daring and their plans the respectabie element is left far behind. It has often been sald, and with vultures would turn their talents toany one of the regular branches of trade, and would genuity as they bestow upon their thievish methods, they would find it immensely more | profitable and would probably accomplish much for their own benefit and for the advancement of mankind. To speak of a man as an accomplished thief is paramount to saying that he is a man of many accomplishments. Now-a- days the skillful burglar is in many instances just as skillful a mechanic and may be thor- | oughly posted in chemistry or electricity and 1n other sciences. As fast as a new de- vice is perfected for the protection of life and property he brings all his knowledge and |: all his ingenuity to bear in finding the means to defeat its purpose. Locks which can- not possibly be picked turn readily under his practiced fingers. Alarms which will announce his aporoach are rendered useless before they are sounded. Traps de- signed to seize and hold him he turns into an instrument to aid him in his purposes, FAMILIAR METHODS, Ways that are dark andtricks that are vain are not by any means confined tothe heathen Chinee, Bret Harte tothe contrary notwith- standing. There are many crooks known to the St. Louis police who could give the Celes- tian sinner cards and spades and beat him at hisown game. Ofcourse all tricks are not equally ingenious, and in fact many to them are but slight variations of time-honored traps for the unwary which have been prac- ticed for so many years that one marvels that anyone can be so foolish as to be ensnared. The gold brick swindle, the soap box trick, the three-card monte, the shell game, the lottery scheme and many others, worn threadbare though they are by fre- quent exposure in the newspapers, still a fruitful source of income to the light fingered gentry who . practice them, nor are their victims by any means, alwaysthe simple unsophisticated farmers one would naturally suppose. The man or the world, secure in his fancied superiority, is as often fleeced as his less knowing but more cautious country cousin. St. Louis can boast the. possession of a police force second to none in the Country in pointjof efficiency and criminals of all kinds, who attemt to reap a harvest pinnder within its limits, are likely to.pay dearly for their temerity. Chief of Detectives Desmond has a long ex perience with the criminal classes, and has many amusing and instructive reminiscences to relate of their ways and doings. He was robbed once himself, or at least his overcoat was stolen from under his very nose at the Four Courts, and he tells the story with much gust», especially since the coat was recovered. A criminal named Henry Levy, better known as Seelig, was the daring thief. Levy has a record of crime in nearly every large city in the United States, and has served time in more than one penitentiary. In his younger days he had acquired an intimate knowledge of the dry goods business, which he used to good effect in working out his dishonest schemes. His usual plan was to obtain a position of more or less trust with a dry goods firm, which he accomplished dy means of forged letters of recommendation. He would work faithfully for a time until he had secured the confidence of his employer, and had discovered from which of the wholesale houses he bought his stock. Then at a favor- able opportunity he would make the rounds of all these houses, and by means of forged orders wculd obtain from each a large bill of goods, which he would convert into cash as quickly as possible. This knowledge of the business enabled him to choose only the most valuable articles, and those most easily disposed of. When he visited Chief Desmond head just been released from the Nashville (Tenn.) Penitentiary, and called, as he said, to square himself with the police in this eity, It was his intention, he claimed, to lead an honest life, and he professed to be heartily sick of his past manner of existence. While questioning him the Chief receivedacall to the telephone, and upon his return the re- formed thief had disappeared, and with him had gone a fine overcoat which was hanging in the office. Afew days later he was cap- tured and acknowledged the theft. He still insisted that he was sin- cere in his protestations, but when he saw the overcoat hanging within his reach, an irresistible desire to steal it came over him, and he fell. When behind the bars again his. penitence returned and he in- formed the authorities of an alleged plot which had been formed to rob the United States Express car at a point near Alton, III. A GRAND-JURY DECEIVED. Twelve men—good and true—acting as Grand-jurors once fell victims to the wiles of a shrewd confidence man and opened for him the doors of his prison. Charles Newman, allas Parker, the bogus ‘‘cattle king. was the man who thus distinguished himself. Parker came to this city in 1884 and represented himself as the millionaire owner of thousand upon thousand head of eattle in Texas. His object in visiting St. Louis, he said, was to dispose of several car load of cattle, which were to follow him here, and incidentally to purchase large quantities of supplies for his ranch. A plausible talker and a man of fine appearance, he experi- enced no difficulty in getting acquainted, and in inducing his acquaintances for him to rms with wished to open an account. He a'so fell in love witha well known st. Louls voung lacy and his engage- ment to her was formally annvunced. From a jewelry house he obtained several hundred dollars’ worth of jewelry on credit, from a dry goods store he bought large bills of goods on credit and trom a hardware house he ob- tained goods and $50 in cash. He succeeded in victimizing several other people and then skip town, but was arrested in New York and brought to this city. Before he was tried the Grand-jury madea visit of inspection to the jail, and found Newman, an old — headed man, in an a parentiy dying condi- tion in one of the cells. Their compassion was aroused, and one and all signed a peti- tion praying for his immediate release. The upshot of the matter was that he was allowed to give a personal bond for his ap- pearance for trial, and was removed to the house ofa friend. Ina few hours the man, supposed to be so near death’s door, had shaken the dust of St. Louis off his feet, and departed in search of new pastures in which to try his talents. THEY ATE SOAP. Red“ McCue, a prisoner of smaller call- ber than Newman, once effected his escape from imprisonment in a somewhat similar manner. Red had been sent to the Work- house on a $500 fine, which represented quite a prolonged stay in durance vile, far too long to suit his liking and, to escape which, he was willing to undergoa fair amount of personal discomfort. He took a fellow prisoner into his confidence and the two madea hea meal off a cake of soap, whi produced the desired effect of making them very sick indeed. Fearing that they would die in the ork-house the ambulance was hurriedly summoned and the two prostrated and helpless men loaded into it to driven Once inside, their symptoms disappesred with amaz- ing rapidity, and before the vehicle had ta ir- ly started upon bis way, the door was opened andthe men scrambled out into freedom. The driver of the ambulance recaptured one of them, but Red made 2 his * A most novel scheme leaving a town to Geo Vines, wno attempted te make the, tr a es, who attem ed in 4 from Chicago to this city secu Vines had been em as assist Fancy and Staple Only Slightly COME EARLY.

The locking- up part was accomplished all right, and Vines managed to stand all the distom- forts incident to being placed on the cars. Shortly after the journey had commenced, however, he began to suffer from lack of air, and at last was obliged to kick and shout to be released. Fortunately sOme baggagemen heard him, and after some short delay he was located and freed from nis cramped quarters. To them he accounted for his strange action by telling a tale of misfortune and inability to purchase a ticket to st. Louls. He was givena free ride anda collection of a few dollars was taken up for his benefit. He would probably never have been connected with the robbery had it not been that his partmer failed to show up with the trunk checks. Tnis evident anxiety toob- tain possession of the trunk,which apparently only contained a few worthless articles of clothing, awakened suspicion and a search by Chief Desmond brought to light two woolen socks crammed full of greeenbacks, nearly $4,000in all. A police officer paid Mr, Vines’ fare back to Chicago, where he was found to be insane and was committed to Kankakee Insane Asylum. WORKED A POLICEMAN, «Not so long ago a daring thief made a large baulin one of the Eastern cities, and ac- tually induced an unsuspecting ‘‘cop’’ to assist him. He had noticed that a bank sent out a particular messenger at a certain time every day, and that this messenger carried with hima black bag containing a large sum of money. To obtain possession of this bag he adopted a scheme both novel and audacious. Une day he boldly walked up to the uniformed officer on the beat and introduced himself as a detective from headquarters. His mission was, he said, to arrest a noted counterfelter, avery dangerous man, for whose arrest a large reward was offered, and he would re- quire assistance. From the description he gave ofthe alleged criminal the officer at once recognized the messenger as the man wanted, and filled with visions of reward and promotion, he pounced upon him the moment he appeared in sight. The pseudo detective rushed forward at the same mo- ment, AM the bag containing the money and h&stily telling the officer to lock his prisoner up at the nearest police station while he took the bag to eadquarters, jumped intoa passing cab and disappeared. Threats and entreaties from the bewildered messenger alike proved useless and only ex- cited the derision of his captor, who soon placed him behind the bars. When mat- ters were at last straightened out the deluded officer was, of course, discharged in disgrace, but the clever thief was never apprehended, nor was the booty recovered. An old confidence ee. with a very amus- ing finale, was lately played in this city and has never appeared in print. It was a case of diamond cut diamond. Three Itallans, two oft whom were confederates, met in a down town hotel and commenced to talk of robberies and of the danger of carrying large sums of money upon one’s person. Many stories of thievery were told, until one of the confederates, pull- ing out a large roll of greenbacks, professed to fear he might robbed and expressed a determination to Hide the money. His com- panion followed suit, and the two induced the third man to join them and to deposit his roll, amounting to about $100, with theirs in an old tin can. The three then proceeded to a vacant lot, where the tin was buried. Shortly afterwards the trio parted and the third man, thinking what a splen- did opportunity this was to rob the other two, hurried back to the spot and quickly shoveling away the dirt over the treasure, plunged his hand into the tin—and withdrew it covered with tar. A third con- federate had followed the other two and had secured the money immediately after they departed. Suspecting some such move on the part of their victim, he had prepared the trap into which the third man had so unsus- pectingly fallen. USED A SHOE SOLL. Detective Archambaultis almost as pro- lific in stories as his chief. He tells one of more than ordinary interest, since it relates the escape of a man ho committed a most brutal murder, and who was sentenced to ninety-nine years’ imprisonment for the crime. Tom Knaggs was the man’s name and he murdered a man named M aldroup at for having married an old risonment. Before ad droken of a 2 nknife blade, and forced it into the sole of is shoe. When lying in Hilisboro Jail, after being senkenced, he took out this blade, and gashed h his wrists, severing the arter- ies. He was discovered before he had bied to death, and patched up, and sent tothe Joliet Penitentiary. Soon after his admis- sion to that institution, he again attempted to kill himself by biting the wounds of his wrists, reopenin them, bat was again discovere in time to save his life. After this second attempt he feighed insanity, and so perfectly, that the authori. ties became convinced that he was crazy and sent him to the Jacksonville Insane Asylum, from which he escaped in less than an hour after his admission. He is still at large. The check racket, which consists of paying for goods with a worthless check calling for a larger amount than required to y for the purchases and inducing the radesman to band over the change, has been worked to such an extent that it is very dim cultto find victims.

Chief Desmond telis a story of the re- markable memory of a blind man for voices which enabled him to identif a man who had.-robbed him, with as as muc certainty as though he had seen his face. Louis Guibar, the man in question, kept a small cigar store on Franklin avenue. Une day he was robbed of 20 cents by a man un- known to him, but whose voice he had heard and remembered. At the Four Courts several days later he heard the same voice, and im- mediately accused the speaker of the the which was acknowledged. His sense touch was also so acute that he could recal a face he had once felt by merely passing hig fingers over it. His memory in these par- ticulars was something wonderful, and was much more accurate than that of most peo- ple in possession of all their faculties, William O’Connor’s Will. The will of William O’Connor was admitted to probate yesterday. He divides his estate between his daughter, Maggie, his son, Rich- ard P., and his wife, Kate O’Connor, John M. Gilkeson and George W.

With one exception this volume of business far surpasses any other January, notwithstanding that the weather has re- - tarded the transfer of property a great deal since the new year opened. There has been a corresponding activity in _ building operations. Central business property has occupied spe- cetal attention during the past week, The _ first event was the auction sale on the floor of tune Exchange of Edward Martin's Washing- oy ‘ton avenue property, for which the firm of Hammett-Anderson-Wade realized $339,750 from various bidders. Mr. Martin bought this property for $950a foot in 1886, that is, for the whole plece, fronting 146 on the north 5 line ot Washington avenue and extending - + «long the west side of Tenth street 225 feet to Lucas avenue. This portion of the ground, which origi- nally cost Mr, Martin $140,500, was sold at an advance, to him, of $199,250. Before the Property was subdivided Mr, Martin held a total frontage of 275 feet, extending through to Lucas avenue,allof which cost him $261,250 in 1886. He received $72,000 from the city for the 5 Opening ot Tenth street, which took sixty 5 feet of his ground, and he has sixty-nine feet left on the east side of Tenth street, extend- ing all the way through the block from Washington to Lucas avenue, on which he is ' @recting a fine eight story building. Esti- Mating this building site to be worth only $2,500 a foot, that would amount to $172,500. From these figures it is apparent that Mr. } Martin has realized an advance of $323,000 on the price of the whole ground. Another criterion of values in the business Center was the sale of the premises, 2612x100 feet, numbered 716 Olive street, for $2,500 a foot. This priceisall the more significant from the fact that the property is under lease Tor fourteen years at only $2,400 per annum. It was knocked down at an auction sale to E. S. Rowse for $66,100. Wm. Morris bought 70 feet on the south side of Olive street between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets at $600 a foot. The southwest corner of Eighth and Pine Streets, premises fronting 70 feet depth of 12742, property of Mrs. L. A. Tomp- kins, was leased through Ben Von Phul’s agency for ninety-nine years to Gustavus Schuchmann for $10,000 a year, net, that ts, 5S percent on a valuation of $200,000 for the property, nearly $8,000 a foot for the grund. J. G. Brandt bought 60x73 feet of ground on Market street, opposite the new Union Depot, at $700 a foot, and contemplates im- proving the site with a hotel building. JANUARY’S BUILDING RECORD. Considering the coid weather that has pre- valled during the month now nearly closed, there has been a very marked activity io bullding improvements. During the greater portion of the nth the mercury has been close down to zero. Had the weather been as open and pleasant as it was last January there would doubtless have been a great many more new buildings Started, but, unfavorable as the elements havejbeen,the Bullding Commissioner’s books indicate that the splendid record of the first month of 1892 has been nearly equaled. The books show that during the present month, the last three days of January being estimated, permits were issued for the con- struction of 138 houses, to cost $842,086, 4 these structures lll are to be of brick. N During January, 1892, when the weather was quite favorable for bullding permits, were issued for 195 buildings to cost $855, 200. These comparisons between the month of 1892 and 1893 show a falling off of only $12,514 during the present January;aloss that has been more than offset by the comparatively paralyzing cold weather.

The gain in sales over January, 1891, amounts to $573, 726.

A little newsboy becoming tangled up with the horses, ha lost his head, 3 pee and was ly ing fiat on his ace in the mud almost beneath the iron shod hoofs of the restive animals. Bystanders expected to see the boy crushed by the heavy wheels. Charles Cole, a colored man of Newark, N. J., one of the drivers, hitched his reins to the seat and crawied out on the tongue of his wagon, At the end he threw himself down flat and grasping the boy lifted him yp beside him, and then pulling himself togefher carried the youngster to a place of safety. Tue boy was plastered with mud, but was not injured. He said his name was Patsy Cassidy and that he lived on Morris street. A handful of coins contributed by the crowd paid him for his papers, which were crumpledin the mud. Tue crowd cheered Cole as he drove away, an Lane’s Medicine Moves the Bowels Bach Day.

NEW York, Jon. 28.—Friends of the Cutting family, of which Bob Cutting is a member, have determined to drive the ambitious young actor from the stage. On Wednesday of this week two swell young men in evening clothes presented themselves at the box office of the Standard Theater, Where My Official Wife’’ is being played with Miss Selig- man, Cutting’s wife, in the leading role, and asked for two seats where they could not be seen. Two balcony seats were sola them, but instead of going there they proceeded to the gallery and im- mediately began to guy their friend Bob. Their conduct finally became so noticeable that the schemers were ejected. Since then, Manager Sanger has received one anony- mous letter and two that were signed. All openly threatened to make things so dis- agreeable for Outting that he will have to give up the profession.

Three Important strikes Made ring the Month—The Pawnolos, the St of Hope andthe Penross—Seme Geolog- ical Questions Decided. * LEADVILLE, Colo., Jan. °8.—The month just ending will villi il mark an era in the Leadville dis- trict. At least threo very important strikes have been made, not only important from the fact that the mineral met with is very rich, but the discoveries will lead to more valuable | results. These strikes were all made withia the past week, while it is now hourly ex- pected that the Sixth street people will also break into good ore, after $300,000 to reach their goal, The Orst strike of the week 127 ounce ore in the Pawnolos mine. Pawnolos is located in the most northern end of Leadville district and in a country that is comparatively unoxplored, The shaft was sunk 250 feet, after whicha drift was run in 700 feet; in upraising from this dritt a 80. foot body of fine iron ore was disclosed and it was in this body that rich stringers of carbonate ore were opened up. This was followed ana a fabulously rich streak was opened up that assays 68 percent lead and 1,127 ounces in silver to the ton. of course, as yet it has not been ascertained how much of this rich ore is to be found, but the existence of a very rich carbonate ore body in the Pawnolos has been fully demon. strated. At any rate the entire un ofthe Pawnolos will be thoroughly exp ored and there is every reason to believe that large bodies of rich ore will be opened up in different sections ot their ground. The sec- ond big strike was in the star of Hope prop- erty where ata depthof 521 feet sume fine carbonate stuff was met with; it has been de- cided to get still further into the body before making assays. The water, which has been the bone of contention with these people for over a year, is now being held in check. The third strike was the opening up of 200 ounce ore in the Orion ground by the Penrose people. The latter have been working the Orion ground for some time, and when the Penrose shaft attained a depth of 490 feet a drift was run into the Orton ground, which resulted in the disclosing of a body of fine lead carbonate ore assaying 65 per cent lead and 20% ounces silver to the ton. This stuf is undoubtedly a continuation of the ore chute struck some time ago with a drill in the Lazy Bill and found afterwards in the Pocahontas ground. The strike is a valuable one, not only from its rich silver value, but because of its high lead value. It was learned to-day that the Lazy Bill Shalt would at once put in a big plant of machinery and resume operations. GEOLOGICAL PROBLEM SETTLED. The three strikes as described above are the principaltopic of conversaton here to- day and those who for years have studied the geology of this camp arequick to see the importance of these finds and the truths they demonstrate. However, there seems to have been an erroneous impression abroad, as to how easily fortunes are to be amassed and with what little capital mines can be worked; when theserich strikes are spoken of it should not be taken for granted, as is the case in many quarters, that there are great bodies of silver in sight, which can be dug out at the rate of 1,000 tons daily for a few cents. This mistaken impression has certainly been a detriment to the cause of silver. Those who are at all familiar with mining know full well that the discovery of bodies of ore, after great labor and expense, are very gratifying, but in many cases the cost and time is not taken into consideration. For instance, the Otis shaft will be in mineral before another week, but it will be the first time that these people have seen anything that looks like a reward for the five years of hard labor and the $300,000 that have been put In the mine. The shaft of the Robert Emmet, Cyclops and Gonabrod is operated by the Small Hopes Consolidated Mining Co. They havea chute 20 feet in thickness, averaging fair in silver and lead. THE SILVER QUEEN LEASE. A lease was fecently given on the Silver Queen and vigorous work has been com- menced, A large amount of mineral was in the past shipped from this mine, some lots running as high as 180 ounces silverg and 2 ounces gold to the ton. In the ald and Henriett property it is something wonderful to see the amount of ore in sight; the ore bodies are something enormous and are apparently inexhaustible. The upper levels have been pretty thoroughly worked, and most of the ore is now coming from the lower workings. The management ship over 6,000 tons of ore monthly from the consolidation, while the lessees bandle about 1,200 tons monthly in addition to the above. The Bartlett is a very promising property. A short time ago there was talk of organizing t the A number of prominent some fitty-six acres of ground on the south side of Iowa gulch and will do some vigorous development work. ‘They have secured patents on th De- troit, Walcott, Leadville, Free Coinage, H.

II TREASURY SUPPLY WILL BE LOWER 1 a ae NEXT WEEK THAN EVER BEFORE. . ~~ x * cw Becretary Foster Sees No Reason for Holding the $100.000,000 Intact for b oan 2 * 1 * > the Redemption of Greenbacks—Banks Might Help the Government But Prob- ably Will Not. N f New YORK, Jan. 28.—The same financial conditions which prevailed last week are Op- erative now. The only difference is that con- tinuance has intensified them. Money is still pouring in from the interior, mainly in the form of silver certificates. Gold is still leav- ing us in very large quantities. The effects ofthe Sherman law, in other words, are growing more apparent every day. The fall of ourcurrency from the solidity of an un- questioned gold basis toward a silver basis 18 gaining momentum as it progresses. The remaining steps will require short- time than have the previous Ones.. The gold leaving us to-day amounts to $3,350,000. _Last Saturday’s shipments were $4,300,000. Not quite all of to-day’s shipments were taken from the Treasury stoek of gold. It they had been, the amount would have been reduced below the lowest previous record of Treasury holdings of free gold. But the $1,500,000 to be exported next Tuesday will bring the figures below the record, and the additional shipments expected to be made next week will reduce the stock still further. THE LOWEST RECORD. If exports of gold continue, and there is no reason at present for thinking that they will not, the free gold inthe Treasury will soon be reduced to or below $100,000,000. Secre- Foster expressed the opinion that there was no necessity to hold this $100,000,000 intact for redémption of greenbacks. And, inasmuch as a large amount ofthe gold for recent ex- ports have been drawn through the redemp- tion of greenbacks and hence may be considered to have come out of this $100,000,- 000, it would seem that it would be difficult to show why this $100,000,000 must be kept in- tact. But unquestionably the reduction of the Treasury free gold below 5100, 000, 000 would have an unfavorable effect upon pub- lic sentiment. It would tend to aggravate all the evils of the situation. It would induce to further hoarding of gold and to further ex- ports of it. ENDANGERING ENTERPRISES. It would frighten men from engaging in enterprises. It would tend to frighten hold- ers of securities, and it would seem must on that account cause lower prices for them. As for this matter, however, one would be foolish to venture proprnostications in view of the strength of the stock and bond mar- Kets coincident with the recent heavy ex- ports of gold. Now, how ls it to be avoided, with every certification tending to bing it about, and with the Government restrained alike by the existing laws and by the avowed policy ofthe Administration from attempting in any way to check the drafts on its gold re- Serves? Any call for our gold, be it from any foreign nation or be it from any bank or indl- vidual wishing to hoard it away, will be met on the presentatlon of legal tenders or of Treasury notes. It seems to require onlya brief knowledgeof human nature to say that the disappearance of gold from the Treasury wiil be more and more rapid as the stock de- creases. LEGISLATION NEEDED. There is only one way to stop the loss of our gold, that is through legislation by Con- gress. It is true that the banks might be prevailed upon torepeal their action of 1885,of which we spoke a few weeks ago, and to give to the Treasury gold in return for some other form of currency, or more simple still to wive their gol Girectiy for export in— stead of drawing it out of the Treas- ury. But there is good reason to doubt whether the banks would do this, in fact there is no reason why our banks should be asked to help the Government outof the effects of the follies of its legislators. The only ground for expecting any such -action from the banks would be that of en- ’ — selt interest. In other words they ight take this step in order toaverta state d eMorescence and decay, of affairs which would be unpleasant to them. WHERE THE BANKS’ INTEREST LIES. But KR would be hard to persuade the represeitatives of the banks that they would not be better off for keeping their gold. For any bank president Knows that as long as resent conditions continue evil results will ollow. Hence, ifthe banks gave up their gold, they would only postpone the crisis and would be co much the less prepared for it when it came. The great quest.on then is: Will the present Congress take any action on the Sherman law? it is a matter for sorrow that the general tmpression ts that no such action will be taken. Still the con- tinuance of heavy gold exports may soarouse | public opinion that Congress Will be forced to act. A month ago it looked as though our legislators might be worked up toa laggard sense of their duty. But since that time all street bas been a scene of great apparent prosperity. The hope of action by Congress started a buying move. ment in stocks and bonds and many securities were sont to Europe. ‘This better feeling in financial circles was a good thing, but it had a bad influence on the arbiters of our destiny in Congress. With money easy, security markets booming and everybody apparently joyful, the lexislators were inclined to laugh at the beseechings and petitionsof business men throughout the Country. .Probably for this reason the great Dankers have not been prominent in the recent movement. THE RISE IN STOCKS. The rise in stocks has been due to buying by operators and traders. To these men nditions are secondary. They handle tocks as they would hot pennies. They take them expecting to lose them to some othe: fellow. What wiil become of them or ofthe other fellow they do not care, A most ex- traordinary feature of the movement has Deen that the argument of these traders has been just the reverse of the one on which the rise started. They have claimed that the inflation caused by the Sherman law would procure higher prices. The rise started on the hopethat the Sher. man law would be repealed. Seldom is so ring an inconsistency revealed even in the mble known as Wall street sentiment. The ve been that that movement culminatea st week, This week’s market has been very the activity confined to Those who are familiar : workings of stock markets will perhaps recall that every rise in prices Is followed bya period of gyrations in inal.

YORK REVIEW OF THE TRANSACTIONS DURING THE PAST SIX DAYS. NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—The Evening Post’s fi- nancial article says: The wild speculation in the industriais dominated the entire market and almost all the interest on the day’s trading was absorbed by the movements in Sugar, Tobacco and Distillers’ certificates. The trading in both Sugar and Distillers was again confined chiefly to the operations of the bull pool and bear cliques, but there was some selling by outside holders who ook advantage of t he movement to realize profits. The early trading in sugar was com- paratively quiet, but an effort to cover by some of the shorts was prevented by the pool brokers who rapidly bid up the price from 129 to 132. Above 132 large blocks of stock were offered, and after a further gain of 5g to the highest price on record the price fell back rapidly below 129. The trading while this movement was in progress was marked by extreme excitement. Distillers was weak inthe early trading, then advanced but reacted before the close. The trad- ing in tobacco was very heavy and after opening at 1 i642 the certificates ad- vanced to 118. Inthe general list there was little animation and fluctuations were con- fined to irregular changes of small fractions. ihe Burlington circularannouncing the issue of new stock and vonds to provide $8,000,000 for new terminals and extensions and $3,500, - 000 for maturing bonds already covered by sinking funds, calls attention to the illusory character of the sink- ing fund plan as often practically carried out. The Burlington deserves great credit for the thoroughnbness with whichit has livedup tothe sinking fund contracts found in its older bonds; yet while it has with one hand taken about $1,500,000 annu- ally from net earnings for this purpose, with the other hand it is continuing to borrow largely for the construction of its projected lines into Wyoming, Montana, and perhaps to the Pacific coast. it isa question whether the actual condition of the property is at all Strengthened by appropriations to sinking funds, when just that many more new bonds must beissued. The sinking fund gathered to pay off these maturing bonds is in other securities of the system, that it is the same thing whether hew bonds be issued or whether the securi- tles noob in the fund be sold; the charge against earnings is not diminished either Way. AS the property covered is worth more than the mortgage, the question of Salety does not arise. Dr. Price’stheory of a na- tional sinking fund, which should pay off every debt, by other borrowing if necessary, caused England, under Pitt, to lose heavily in interest during the Napoleonic wars. Al- though the faliacies of that theory were thor- oughly exposed atthe beginning of the pres- ent century it was not only the cause of some erratic but perhaps excusable American financiering during and after the revolution, but has not yet ceased to bewitch people into the idea that a rail- road can safely and easily do under a sinking fund what, ifdone without any such inter- NEW vention, would not be called good pecuniary | Of course sinking funds have management. their proper place in national or corporation finance, but there is no magie in them wich enables a government or a company to ac- cumulate money except at the cost of renew- al or from new borrowings. In the Burling- ton case practically the latter course has been pursued. NEW YORK STOCK QUOTATIONS. RANGE OF VALUES FOR THE WEEK. >| Opening — — STOCKS. Monday.

The new administration of the Pastime Club is considering several important mat- ters, which are hopedto increase the popu- larity and usefulness of that association. At the next meeting of the directors favor- able consideration was given a suggestion to ‘reinstate those who resigned during the year, provided they were in good standing when they retired. sixty days will be allowed these to come back, and they can do so without payment of entrance fees or of dues for the interval. The board unanimously resolved to estab- lisha scholars ip Hst’’—limited to 100 at 885 each. ‘the hope is to interest business men in the club, to buy these scholarships and give them to deserving young men of their acquaintance. It was also decided to invite a wrestling match between Lutbeg, and Mooney, the winner to receive as a prize 70 per cent of the house receipts. It was also determined that the Athletic Committee suggest medals for contesting arties in the several departments—bowling, and ball, lawn tennis, etc. The sentimentof the board was unani- mously in favor of using all means to make the club metropolitan in all respects. It was held that the leading business men of the city ought to be behind the enterprise and modes of bringing this about were discussed, This club should foster ‘great athletic events, and the aim should be to bring here as many great athietic attrac- tions as can possibly be done. To do this the club must be in a position to spend money, and it ougbt to look to the solid business men invested | of the city to enable it to do 80. 80 ELECTRIC CLUB. The St. Louis Electric Club is now finely in- stalled in its new quarters in the second story ofthe Equitable building. The club rooms have been very tastefully fitted up with an eye to the enjoyment and conven- lence of the members and their guests. The reception room is pleas- ant and spacious, and, being on the corner, is well lighted and affords a good view of what is going on in the street. The | billiard, pool and smoking room will shortly be in full blast. The ‘‘lunch counter’’ was | opened last week and was patronized beyoud | expectation. | i | | Vogelsang, F. W.

ALLOWS INTEREST — — A PROPOSED STAG HUNT, ——— Which Jersey Officers Say They Will Not Permit. Lone BRAN CR, N. J., Jan. 2.—The newly organized Monmouth County Hunt Club of New Jersey will have considerable trouble in carrying out its plans for the proposed stag huntin March. President John P, Haines of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals, when he read yesterday that ‘‘Jimmie’’ Blute bad returned to this country from Europe with fifteen couples of stag hounds, some trained deer and five Irish hunters, said: ‘‘Stag hunting will never be permitted in this country as long asIlam connected with this society. This is the first intimation I have that the new Ciub proposes to hunt live animals. We Shall investigate the matter at once and take steps to prevent itcarrying out its plans. It is one of the chief objects of the socisty to oppose all sport which takes the form of Kili. ing or torture. Every true sportsman denounces cruelty as essentially unsports- manlike, and he is our supporter in the at- tempt to discountenance cruelty, but unfor- tunately all are not true sportsmen.

Special Correspondenee SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. PARIS, Jan. 10.—Dog shearing is one of the most pecullar and remunera- tive industries of Paris. As a rule the professional dog shearer is stationed on the banks of the Seine near the Solferino bridge. There he occupies a smal! boat with acabin ontop, and operates on the shore. His chief patronage comes fromthe owners of poodles and, like the professional barber, he establishes a certain fashion for these Shearing @ Dog. pet canines which usually holds out for a season. Duringthe past summer the ‘‘lion cut’’ was the rage. Back and loins are cleared of their hirsute array, while tufts of hair, called ‘‘bracelets,’’ are left standing around the paws. Another much-admired fashion left tufts of hair on the haunches, and on each side of the neck on a level with the shoulders. Someofthe patrons preferred that a small round tuft should be left on each paw of their pets. The price for such operations depends upon the nature of the cut, and ranges from $1 to $2.25. For shearing bull-dogs, spaniels and other larger animals less is charged, for in cases like these the operation is confined toa clean shave, a good wash and a rubbing down of the skin with a fine currycomb. As a rule dogs take very Smeg 4 to this mode of treatment, but to prevent them from bit- ing they are always muzzled. Groups of spectators gather around these dog shearers, who do a flourishing business, especially during the summer months. Japanese Vital Statistics. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Interesting statistics as to thelarge in- crease in the population of the empire of the Mikado during the last twenty years have been compiled and published by M. Ono. In 1872 the official census placed the total population at 33,111,000 souls. In 1890 ithad increased to 40,070,000. Since 1887 the annusl average of increase is thir- teen for every 1,000 which, if kept up, will double the present population of Japan at the end of fifty-eight years. As the number of births is no greater in Japan than in other civilized countries, M. Ono attributes this remarkable increase to the excellent sani- tary conditions of the country since the résto- ration, and the notable decline in the death rate of children under 5 years öf age, which islowerin Japan than any other country, except England. In proportion there are about one hundred males to ninety-seyen females. This 8 is maintained up to the 57th year, at which time of life the nam- ber of females surpasses that of the males.

Written for the SUNDAY Post-DIsPaTcn. ‘The current opinion that matrimonial dis- cords are farcommoner in tliese days than they have ever been is, in all likelihood, cor- rect. We have not the patience or self-con- trol ot our grandfathers, such discords are certainly not hidden now, as they formerly were. Couples who were mismated or incom- patible accepted, asa rule, their mismate- ment or incompatibility and tried to get on together in spite of it. They did not chafe or rail; they did not separate and advertise their dissensions, asis the present custom Marriage and domesticity were simple and easily managed. There was less friction and far less exactingness. The sense of duty was stronger and the sense of comfort weaker. We did not expect so much of wedlock, or of anything, indeed, and we were contented with little. The time that preceded the civil war in this country is ancient history; the time since is modern history. During the last w enty-seven or twenty-eight years Ameri- can life has wholly changed. It is more ex- pensive, more intense, more complicated, more dissatisfied, more wearing. The ten- dency of population to towns, to the big cities especially, has increased fast, and is increasing faster. Rural and village life has entirely ceased to represent the Repub- lic; it has become insignificant. Consequent- ly, marriage and its usual attendant, house- keeping, have grown more formidable, financially, thanever before, and for this reason they are declining visibly year by year. DIREFUL EFFECT OF BAD SERVANTS. Housekeeping can hardly be compassed, in town at least, without two servants, whoare inefficient, insubordinate, diplomatic, in proportion to the size and prosperity of the town. In New York, the true capital of the Western hemisphere, servants are worse, probably, than anywhere else under the sun. They have long been bad enough, but, within four or five years they have grown, in the mass, well nigh worthless, and would be un- bearable if their mistresses had any power of choice, any capacity of change for the better. They have become the most adverse force—for they areaforce, and an odious one—to matrimony that exists. They have indirectly destroyed the peace of thousands of couples and have finally driven many of them apart. This may sound like an exaggeration, [but It is not. Householders alone know What a serious question domestic service, or dis- service is, and can comprehend its enormities. Even the couples who have been rendered wretched and have gone asunder, may not be aware as to the real cause of their troubles. They will not de likely to admit that servants could be. They would hold themselves above and superior to what might appear so insignificant. But it is not by any means insignificant in its reasonability. Ifa precise analysis could be made, so as to as- certain the chief source of conjugal dishar- mony prevalent, and of a large number of the resultant divorces, it would, Iam con- fident, be traced to the kitchen. Let us picture how a young and lovely pair, fairly united to one another, and with a moderate income, may be wrought upon. We will suppose that they have secured a modest though comfortable apartment, and have hired two servants—a cook and waitress, or second girl, as she is commonly called—to do their household work. The cook has been well recommended, and claims to understand all the requirements of pla cooking. The waitress declares herself fully competent to discharge her duties. The first two or three weeksthe meals are generally late and ill-prepared. The bride is annoyed and shows her annoyance, Shetries to remedy matters by going into the kitchen to mend them. But the cook is refractory, and insults her mistress, who knows not what to do, and finally does nothing beyond weepingin secret. The husband observes when he comes home to dinner traces of tears, and conscious that he has not caused them (he would not feel so sure after the honeymoon), he inquires and learns the cause. Exceedingly indignant—weal think that any one, except Ourselves, oughtto be killed who would make a woman weep—he discharges the offender on the spot. The next few days they get their meals at a restaurant, he being opposed to his dearest girl soiling her pretty hands with pots and saucepans. Then another cook is introduced. Sheis no better than the first, though less insolent. They try to get on with her shortcomings. They are so very indulgent thereto that the bride thinks the cook really likes the place, and is getting fond of her. About the time she has reached this conclusion the cook files into a rage from no apparent cause and goes off, declaring she would not ‘‘live with any woman that didn’t know how to treat a lady in the kitchen. SUFFERINGS OF MAN AND WIFE. The bride now insists on cooking, tbough the peculiar process by which she spoils whatever goes on the table, does not justify the use ofthe word. The husband is patient and deceitful. He pretends to enjoy every dish, but it is plain that he cannot eat. While he praises his wife’s culinary skill, he is obliged to say that he has very little appe- tite. He cannot long impose on her. She is confident that he secretly patronizes a res- taurant; and, being accused directly, he con- fesses. She is wretched; spends half the time in tears, which he kisses away, until he tires of the sentimental habit. : A relief occurs. They procure a good cook and begin to rejoice, when the waitress gives warning. Being of one religion, she is sure she cannot agree with the new-comer, who is ofanother. She is urged to wait and see, But she won't. The wife makes the beds, does the sweeping and dusting and other odd chores. The pair wait on themselves and feelthat tney ought to be satisfied tempo- rarily, while they have already learned to expect very little in the way or domestic service and to be thankful for that little. The last cook, at the end of three weeks, gets drunk, and proves on investigation to be addicted to periodic sprees. She is very regular inattendance at church, but her re- ligion, to which she often refers, will not keep her sober. When this inconsistency is mentioned to her she angrily asks what re- -‘ligion has to do with her taking a drink now and then. SUFFERINGS OF MAN AND WIFE. These troubles in the kitchen continue without abatement month after month. Sometimes the young couple dare to hope that their ill-luck is over, but the hope is de. lustve. If they chance on a servant less bad than usual she is pretty sure to be succeeded by a servant worse than usual, so that the average badness is kept up. The effect of such service for three or four years is obvi. ous and unavoidable. The wife is so con- stantly worried, her nerves are so harrowed that she isa different woman from what she was as a bride. Deep lines are in her brow; her amiability has Been hurt; it has been nearly overcome, The freshness of her youth has passed. The incessant contest with worthless. incompetent servants has told on her visibly. She is aware of it; she feels that her husband is also, and this she bitterly de- plores. He is changed more than she. The early gallantry has disappeared. He is scarcely polite now. He is silent and morose gener- ally. Yearsofabominable cooks have done their work.

Is there any use to try?“ heasks. And she answers, with moistened eyes, O, yes; still let us try.“ Her faith is the one thing that holds them together. He remembers at such junctures, and so does she, when he was so considerate, sp tender, so chivalrous; but neither speaksofit. It is not his fault, wholly, nor ifs it hérs, The bad servants are chiefly responsible. These have spoiled their temper, spoiled their food, spoiled their peace so persistently that permanent discord has been born. Something of the connubial decline must, it is true, be ascribed to the dulling of their passion, and to excessive intimacy, but this something is only a minor part, If they have a child or children, their dis- harmony is likely to be increased by the need of more service, And they who increase their service, unless they have ample, means and an establishment, increase their discon- tent. Moreover, it may well be doubted, though the preponderance of opinion is otherwise, whether children, under ordinary conditions, lessen the dissatisfaction, tunda- mental or circumstantial, of parents by their coming. Do a couple who love, and are, therefore, sufficient to one another, require any new bond of attachment? Does not, on the contrary, the interposition of anything tendtothe diminution of their mutual in- terest and affection? Such servants as are mostly procurable to- day are inimical to wedlock, being provoca- tive of discomfort, friction, anxiety, discon- tent, nervousness, irritability. All these— the two last especially—will in time wreck unjust. He n one can bear beyond a certain point. We cannot be keyed above a given pitch without breaking. However delightful in itself a home may be, its invasion by servants igno- rant of their duties, unwilling to perform them, complaining, impudent, disorderly, disobedient, ruins its delightfulness. It soon becomes so associated with unpleasantness ofevery sort that one’s life must partake ofitina degree, though in no wise respon- sible for it. Persons cannot be altogether superiorto their surroundings. The finest gem depends for its brilliancy on the setting. The best attuned and most affectionate pair may be warped by ceaseless contact with ob- noxious agencies. THE MALEFIC SERVANT. The prosperous, the comfortably off, those, in a word, who are never straitened for money, have no conceptlon what powers of evil,what dreadful enemies of domestic tran- quillity the average servants are. They do not come into direct and continuous relation with them. They are likely to have house- keepers who relieve them of any such need. They can afford to pay any price asked, and to ha ve. any number of servants, and they do so. They may or may not be aware that they are imposed uponinevery way. Ifthey are aware ot it they donot mind. They are glad to secure mental peace at any cost. To place themselves beyond the harrassment of ser - vants is the highest luxury. It is worth un- told gold. They are grossly unjust to those who are comparatively poor, of whom the prosperous take as a rule small account. One of the heaviest curses of poverty is to be married, and to deal with ordinary servants. It is a veritabie epic of petty woes. They are not incompetent alone. Many seem to hate with an irreconcilable hatred their employers; many are superfluously, unpardonably malicious, They are excep- tions to the entire class of manual laborers, who are generally giad to be hired, are anxious for wages, eager to retain their situ- ations. They appear wholly indifferent on the subject. They show not the slightest consclentiousness or consideration. They assume an air of superiority, of condescen- sion toward their betters, as If it were a great favor for them to be willing to work for wages. Albeit they are Mcapable for the most part, they make lofty pretensions and resent any advice however gently given. They are tyrants notwithstanding their menial place. They bully their mistresses. They inspire fear by their threatening man- ner and angry speech. Thej have, visibly, the upper hand, and they are resolved to keep It. ‘ POLITICAL ECONOMY REVERSED, We hear a deal about the despotism of cap- ital, of how labor is oppresseé and ground down thereby. In the case of servants, they who are poor and laborers are the despots. They are arrogant and insolent in the ex- treme. They will not brook any interference with their awkward or unfair methods. They imply always that, if they ars offended in any manner—and nobody can tell when and how they may be offended—tiey will quit their place and soinfiict dire punishment on theiremployer. Does any one know of an in- stance in whicha servant has been loth to give up her position? Unsatisfactory as her work may be, she seldom waits to be dis- charged, She discharges herselfand goes off in wrath and impertinence. It is extremely hard to procure a servant who will consent to be a laundress and cook, go that a couple without a child must ordt. narily have three girls to perform the house- hold service—a laundress, a cook and wait- ress or chambermaid—at prices varying from $20 to $16 a month, amounting to something like $650 annually, This isa very large sum for a couple to pay out ofa moderate income for domestic service alone; and such service, too, as it commonly is! Acoupieor a family that can afford only one servant must hire a laundress in addition, costing, at the lowest, from $300 to $350 a year. Do not these figures render matrimony toa man receiving an average salary alarming, if not prohibitory? No man contemplating marriage should omit the important question of domestic service—important as to worry and discontent as well as expense—and yet not one man in a tundred thinks of it at all until he has been fairly launched into hus- bandnood. Even women, who as a sex are deranged about wedlock, believing generally that it should be committed under any and all circumstances, would be frightened by it, possibly deterred from it, had they any com- prehension in advance of the sufferings they must endure from servants. These are the unknown, but terrible quan- tity in the equation of connubDiality, and when it is worked out the results are little less than appalliag. DIVORCE AND 8UICIDE. It is easy to perceive why Lad servants may alienate any pairand drive them to divorce as a release from existing ills. Is it not wholly probable that wives who mysteriously commit suicide do so frequently in the hope of another world where bad servants are unknown? Many servants are execruble be- yond belief. They destroy the spirit of home, They abolish the purpose and benefit of do- mesticity. There is no excuse for them ex- cept ignorance, which is too dense at present to be alleviated. They are not all the creatures that have been described. If they were, marriage would, as an institution, be dissolved. But there are enough of them to make it burthen- some, repellent, full of peril often. Those who know very little about servants save as a doleful consequence, believe the evil can be promptly remediea and are impatient with women because it is not. But how can it be remedied? It steadily grows worse, and is so very bad that it cannot last very much sonnet in the nature of things if society is to e conser n It is — that hus bands regard mat - rimony as hateful and break away from it. when it is principally the menials that make itso.

Talking about street cars recalls some- thing I witnessed in one the other day. Whoever has read ‘*What’s Bred in the Bone“ will remember the particular stress the author lays upon the intuition of woman. There is a spirit of premoni- tion innate in woman which discovers to her many things ithat would make a man rack his brain to solve. The in- cident I relate strikingly illustrates how astute is this guiding spirit. P There were five ladies of the West End and myselfinthe car when two women, richly dressed and of quiet demeanor, entered. Ap- pearances indicated culture and refine- ment but ingering in her eye— that mirro of her soul—appeared sensuality and dissipation. They took seats among the five ladies mentioned, but in stantly there was a scattering on all sides and the pair were left alone in the middle of the seat, the West End ladies huddled close together at either end of it- Tue two women smiled frozenly, but otherwise gave no indication that they had noticed the peculiar actions. The five original women stared out of the window in front of them untilthe two members of that other sphere left the carin the vicinity of a well-known neighborhood.’’ Now the average man would never have made the discovery those women did under the circumstances, A man would have sat in that car till dooms- day stealing ne lances at those women and envying in his heart some happy husband. Woman is certainly an enigma, Whenever you enter a restaurant fight shy of the waiter with his hand on his mouth. He is the man who will hit you for a tip. You may have noticed the pecullarity or you may not, buta walter never struck you fora tip without put- ting his hand to his mouth, This preliminary when in- dulged in often manifests itself in the listless moment of the ‘‘striker’’ and be- trays himto the initiated. Providence seems to have fixed the habitas a beacon light toſthe man with car- fare and the price of a meal, The Siriker. This winter has, proved conclusively the decay of skating as an accomplishment in St. Louis. The mild winters of recent yearsare directly responsible for the constellations that were cut by the rising generation this season. There are a few good and some fancy skaters, but they are mostly persons who can look back and tell of the glorious cold snaps in the early ’70s. There were some amusing scenes at Forest Park this winter. A party of young men and girls, the very creme de la creme of West End society, were gathered at the park one crisp afternoon enjoying themselves on the ice. Onecouple, a pretty brunette anda blonde youth, with a faint suspicion of down upon his upper lip, glided away from the rest and, hand in hand, skated about in a secluded part of the lake. Skating is a sport which permits a man to hold the hand of every girl with whom he skates. He can squeeze them, too,and if she answers” his pressure what fun they can have! Then there's the **roll;’*’ he can do the **roll’’ with his arm about her waist, and nobody will look ask- ance, Imagine the Diss of doing the roll’’- with a girl who likes the ‘‘roll’’ in the gloaming!

Youhave noticed those russet shoes and those pearl gray hats crushed in the center, all the swells affect them. The idea came from New York, the birthplace of all the nonsensical fads that tyrannize our gilded youth, Now just how the New York swells failed to change their summer head and footgear is a question I am not prepared to answer. There is a story going about to the effect that a certain swell furnisher in New York, hav- ing failed to dispose of a large stock of sum- mer goods, hit upon the idea of introducing it as fashionable winter wear. It was an easy matter to find a few fashionables to push his scheme and, with the aid of chromos of his ‘‘deah Prince“ Similarly attired, the headof every well- dressed man in New York was turned. The contagion spread, of course, to St. Louis, and hencethe pearl grays and russets. The fate of the present fad will probably be the same as that of its predecessors, the trousers with the black Stripe. The ‘‘elite’’ of the colored element are scrambling for cast-off russets and pearl- grays and the ultra fashionables will soon return to derbys and patent leathers, unless the next arrival from Gotham is some other triumph of the haberdasher, There has been considerable discuss! recently concerning the proper application _ oh ofthe words in- 6 toxicated’’ and drunk.

The boulevard grows darker, dingier, more suspicious, as passing street after street that curls crookedly up the hill to the left you come at last to No. 8. It has the appearance ot a small shop after working hours. Nothing but a few panes of colored glass, visinle here and there between the shutters and behind them the occasional flash of a match would give to the outsider the idea ofa cabaret. There is no name above the lintel, but through the closed door comes the sound of loud voices, the jingle!of a plano and the words of a song. It is the Cabaret du Miulton—a curiosity even in Paris where. Aristide Bruant, the re-incarnate Villon, innkeeper, poet and singer at once, gives his nightly entertainment, You come up to this noisy, masked and guarded place; you knock at a door that seems never made to open; and presently you hear the harsh, grating sound of two bolts being drawn back. The door does, in- deed, open, but the man who opens it scruti- nizes you from head to foot, and, if you do not please him, he will refuse you admit- tance, Women are never. refused entry, though greeted sometimes by a kiss from mine host, always withaslang refrain from the whole assembly ‘‘of little meaning, though the words are strong. Inside, as you look round, you find yourself inasmallroom, with a yet smaller room opening out of it. It is a little in the style of a German bier-keller, with brown walls, half of wood, half papered. The tables, chairs and benches are of the plainest wood, and on the sideboards are rough, red plaster images. Swords, masks, all sorts of queer carvings dangle from the roof, and on tne walls are curious unframed canvasses. A piano, loaded with music, stands in a corner by the bar, and on it rests for the mo- ment the famous tin teapot, to be used pres- ently for the collection. It is handed round after every song, with a suggestive rattle of the coppers inside it; and, if you are liberal, you will soon have got rid of another franc in addition to your entrance fee, which, of course, you pay, nominally, for your bock. It is the master of the house who has opened the door, and as he paces heavily to and fro he continues the song you have interrupted. Aristide Bruant is about 40; his face is large, power- ful and clean-shaved, the hair brushed back over the head. There is an air of singular dignity, of calm power about the dig, smooth face, with its proud bonhomie, its cynical seriousness. He dresses in a large, loose coatand trousers of Diack velvet, a black scarf under the red shirt collar, and black boot-tops. With his hands in his pock- ets he saunters to and fro, chanting, rather than singing, in a loud, always monotonous voice, to the accompaniment of a plano played bya one-eyed man. Then the one- eyed man sings, or a sleepy-looking young man with eye-glasses—always in the same monotonous chant, with the same casual, absorbed canter up and down the floor. The monotony is a calculated monotony, it is Bruant’s ‘‘note,’’ a part of his brutality, his unemotional way of taking things. He never permits himself to use emphasis, he gains effect by his persistent disre- gard of it. There is certainly something gruesome in his measured, rather matter-of- fact rendering of these gruesome songs, ‘‘Au Bois de Boulogne. A la Villette, A la Rouguette’’—songs with brief significant re- frains, caught up inasudden chorus, after each stanza. The singing, like the songs, is grim, ghoulish, with a certain bare,unaffect- ed simplicitty, matching well enough the sordidly tragic simplicity of the words. To the poet innkeeper and his guests truth has not always been garmented in white like a bride on her wedding day. They know her best when splashed with mireand sprinkled with blood. Their mission is not to sprinkle her with attar of roses. The whole matter is an attempt to do some- thing more realistic than has ever been done before; it succeeds in its painful way, because Aristide Bruant, both as writer and as singer, is a true artist.

She uses it to the ad- vantage of the human race and to aid those who need the knowledge. None can excel her power in giving correct information, This has been demon- strated the past week by the large number who have visited her and chiefly recommended by patrons who have had sittings since Dor arrival. She does business on her own merits independent of all others. You cannot miss this opporthnity of knowin your future, and regret ever afterwards that you di miss it. You will possibly say, Oh, yes. she is like others, an imposter!"’ you are mistaken, SIR or MADAM. On the contrary you yourself will be one of her firmest supporters and declare emphatically that as high asthe mountains are above the sea, so high is this woman above all self-styled Mediums who are retenders and quacks. Regarding MrpIUMs she will instruct you how to judge of the false and the true, so that you will not again be deceived, she will give you advice that is unfailing in all business matters, whether of money or speculation, and aiso traee your antecedents to the third and fourth generation. Give you the loca- tion of your birth and the circumstances of your early life. Gives you the location of your property, friends and enemies, and those of your own family. Givesthe characteristics and actions of your ac- quelntances, so that you will recognize them as if ey stood before you. She will tell young peo- pie a thousand things they never reamed * kad old people more than they ever knew. There also a mystery in charms and influences that she will explain and set the same vigorously to work for them, MADAME MOSS is the only second sight seer in the city who understands the science of charming, mind traneference, secret of unconscious influence.

_ ‘WHO SHARED THE BRIBES OF PANAMA’ . PROJECTORS? 0 1 Col. Fellows’ Resolution Passes the House To- Day— The Corrupt Scheme to Be Sifted to the End—The Senate in Executive Session — Making New States-Senate and House Proceed - . | WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28.—An inves- tigation of the American end of the Panama Scandal was formally ordered by the House this morning. Col. Fellows“ resolutions, re- citin@the charges that millions were ex- pended in this country for corrupt purposes by the engineers of the big enterprise and that American interests were threatened with further encroachments, were reported favor- ably by the Rules Committee and adopted by the Honse without debate. The scope of the inquiry, as outlined by Col. Fellows, is extended so as to find just exactly how the co across the isthmus is controlled and what special privileges are enjoyed by the Pacific Mail Line, in connec- tion with the Panama railroad. The investt- gation will undoubtedly be made in a most thorough manner, as fallauthority is given the committee to administer ogths and to Send for persons and papers. In keeping with the custom of the House, Cel. Fellows will probably be appointed Chairman of the special committee and he will have asso- ciated with him members who have been elected tothe next House. The committees will be appointed by the Speaker on Monday. The resolutions presented by the Rules Com- mittee and adopted by the House covering the charges that have been made in con- Hection with the American end of the scandal read as follows: That a special committee of five be ap pointed to investigate and report as to what sc money, K any, were e dy the ama Oana Go. its moters, directly or indirectly, the pur of preventing oppos tion in t country to the of sala 4 or securing acquiescence in America thereto and what disposition was made of such sums; and nerally as to the situation of affairs upon the isthmus so far as American commerce seeking transit across the same way be concerned; and also as to the contracts and relations between the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. and the Southern Pacific Railroad Co., the Transcontinental Rall - road Association and as tothe contracts or other collusive arrangements that have been made by said companies, whereby the trade by way ofthe Isthmus of Panama has been suppressed. Col. Fellows does not share the opinion of several leading Democrats that it will be difficult, after so many years have elapsed, to discover who the Americans were who shared the bribes of the Panama projectors. Speaking of the action of the House to-day, he said: There are men in this country who are able to clear up the scandal and reveal the names of those who took part in the corrupt scheme tostrangle American opposition. Iam not prepared to say whothese men are who know the secret of the steal, but I think the committee will bring certain men from under cover. The transactions by which the Panama people obtained absolute jurisdic- tion over the commerce across the Isthmus can easily be traced, and it ought not to be difficult to ascertain who were financially benefited by the transfer in pro- prietorship. But I don’t think the scandal stopped with the absorption of the railroad. We may have to look into other matters involving, perhaps, some very big men. The necessity of securing American acquiescence in the scheme may have been apparent toeveryone atthetime. Had this Government insisted on upholding the Monroe doctrine in its applica- tion to Panama, the canal project would never have been entered upon. The way in which the French schemers obtained control, not only of the concessions for the canal, but of the railroad, and by these means assumed the privilege guaranteed to the American inventors of the Colombian Government, is plainly in violation of the Monroe doctrine and should have been objected to by this Government. True, there were proceedings in Congress, but I am not prepared to ex- plain how thay came to naught. There is a big scandal somewhere, and for the honor the country, the facts should be @isclosed. The committee will not be hurried in its work and will have all the time necessary to make the inquiry in most thorough manner. Iam confident that some startling facts will be disclosed.’’ Col. Fellows was not sure that he would be Obairman of the Investigation Committee, but itis altogether probable that he will be Gesignated by the Speaker. CONGRESSIONAL. TO-DAY’S SESSION IN THE SENATE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS—THE HOUSE. WagHIncTor, D. C., Jan. 28.—Practically the whole of to-day’s session was spent by the Senate behind closed doors, the execu- tive session lasting from 12:40 to 4:80, when the Senate adjourned until 2 o’clock Monday the change of hour being fixed in order to give Senators an opportunity to attend Mr. Bilaine’s funeral.

A BILL TO BE INTRODUCED ADMITTING NEW MEXICO, UTAH, ARIZONA AND OKLAHOMA. WasHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 28.—Benator Carey this morning gave notice ot two amendments which he intended to offer to offer to the House bill providing for the admission of New Mexico into the Union. Mr. Carey's enactment clause of ew Mexico bill and substitutes an omnibus bill, admitting the Territories of New Mex- ico, Utah, Arizona and Oklahoma. The State of Oklahoma is made identical with the In- 82 Territory, but itis provided that noth- ing in the act shall be construed to impair the rights of persons and S now e per - taining to the Indians of the Territories, so long as such rights remain unextinguished by agreement between the Indians and the United States. Mr. Carey’s second amend- 4 ment is identical in provisions with the first, save thatitomits the Territory of Arizona, and isin line with the action of the recent Republican caucus. SLATE-WRITING. How This Means of Communication With the Spirit World Is The usual method of procedure in slate- writing is for the mediums to sit around a table, two of the mediums holding the slate beneath the table, while the others rest their hands flatly on top of it. A general silence is preserved, says the Indianapolis Journal, except an occasional sacred song sung in a soft tone of voice. Generally raps are first heard, sometimes upon the slate and sometimes on the table, and frequently beating time to the music. Then, if 2 the Teenie 1 VIE three raps, signifying that the writing is finished. The slate is then taken from be- neath the table and examined, when a mes- sage is found, generally directed to some one inthe audience and signed by a departed relative or friend of the person. „I have seen, said a business man who has been an interested investigator of these curious manifestations, a * purchased double slate, washed perfectly clean, placed beneath the ‘table, myself holding one end of the slate, and present * message is written between the slates. 12 was in the slate ana, in fact, tomy knowledge, not one was in the house or had been for months. These messages are sometimes written in two or more colors and I have seen as many as four different and clearly distinct handa- writings received during one evening, the same medium holding the slates e each time. Arrested for Picking Pockets. Frank Williams, claiming to be a news- paper man from Jolfet, III., was arrested about 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon, charged with having picked the pocket of Mrs. Suttin of 3214 North Eleventh street in front of the Grand Leader Dry Goods House. AMrs. Blum of 927 Market street claims saw the man in the act of picking Mrs. Suttin’s pocket and informed Officers Quigley and Sullivan who arrested him. The police claim that Williams has confessed that he was recently given hours to leave Ohicago. A Barkeeper Arrested.

The dwelling of Chauncy I. Filley, at the corner of Beaumont and Ohestnut streets, was ablaze with light last night and both sides of the asphalt streetsin front were lined with cabs andcarriages. Last week Representative B. F. Russell of Crawford County, met Representative R. 8. Gurney of Caldwell in the Madison House at Jefferson City and said to him: I haven’t seen the old man since we voted tor him for Senator. Let's get up a party and go down to st. Louis Saturday night and surprise him,’’ I'm with you, said the Caldwell man. The two saw the other Republican members of the Legislature and as a consequence over forty of the fifty-four Senators and Repre- sentatives came down to st. Louis last night. Word was sent to some friends of Mr. Filley in St. Louis to prepare him forthe invasion, and when the first guest was ushered into the house at 8 o’clock by the colored butler, the vigorous old Repub- Hoan leader was at his parlor door, dressed in the black Prince Albert coat and suit 830 familiar to politicians throughout the State, with both hands outstretched. 0. H. F. Robifing, Secretary wt the City Republican Central Committee, was by him, and ex-Sherif John H. Pohiman also helped Mr. Filler to receive. By 9 o’clock all the guests were present. Besides those mentioned there were Only a few St. Louls Republicans, There were Con- gressman Richard Bartholdt, F. B. Brownell of the State Committee and Charles D. Com- tort. Collector Charles F. Wennecker, tbe personal friend of Mr. Filley, was the only Federal office-holder esent.

Representative Gurney then presented Mr. Filley, in the name of the Republicans ofthe State, whose leader he was, with a curiously carved stick, made by R. M. Voster, an ex-Con- federate soldier of Sparta, out of hickory wood from the Bald Knob county of Christian. Mr. Filley’s reply was avery neat thing. The stick which he held in his hand suggested praise of the lumber industry of the State, and then of all its in- terests, and from that he went easily into a short agument for protection and a prom- ise that the Republican party would yet win Missouri on that platform. khx-Senator D. T. Jewitt, who is to the Republicans of St. Louis the Gamaliel that ex-Senator D. H. - is to the Democrats, complimented Mr iliey and said that his great hope was that the Demo- crats would have so big a — in Congress that they could do what tbey pleased. Four years of that and business would go tothe bugs’’ and the laboring men would wish the Demo- crats at the devil. John Flanagan Jasper a speech that was full of Western epigram, saying that the Republicans never running after the isms so attractive tothe Democrats, might lose a few white chips occasionally But would: al- mes win on the jack-pots. The party would e its next campaign in Missouri. for of made business, not bumcombe, measures, not men = principles, not people, and it would win, ee: THE PARTY. The voters were beginning to understand that the Ke publican party bullt up a factory, the Democratic party toreitdown andthe third party took it from the man that had it and gave it to a man that never had one and never could got one. Mr. Flanagan alluded to the death of 4 and compared Mr. Filley’s leadership oh Congressman Bartholdt made a speech in which he said that the Democrats had won the last election because they were in the habit of rewarding the workers. The Democratic Central Committeeman was a king in his ward, and the powers above him in the party recognized him. This might be right or wrong, but it had an effect. Representative Tatum fol- lowed in the same strain. He said the party had been beaten because Nov, 8was a good fishing day for Republicans. There were too many men inthe party who did not like the way things were deing man aged. Sim Moore, of Laclede, took the same view of it. The campaign in Missouri had deen a personal one, and its result had taught every thinking Republican that personal campaigns were not profitable. Mr. Brownell contented himself with a word of eulogy for Mr. Filley and Rep- resentative F. L. Self of Monroe closed the list of speakers prepared by Chairman Rus- sell. le attacked the Democrats in the Legislature and accused them of cow- ardice in dealing’ withthe anti-option and silver resolutions. Chairman Russell was then called on and made a short ad- dress, eulogizing Blaine and 0~»pledging the hearty good-will of the party in the State to Mr. Filley. While Congressman Bartholdt was speak- ing, he became much embarrassed several times and halted in expressing himself. Speaking of the next Congress he said: „„We shall have no great leader with us like McKinley. „What's the matter with Tom Reed?“ in- quired Mr. Flannagan, from a corner filled with cigar smoke. „That's so!’’ assentedg the Congressman with relief, „'m going to vote for him for Speaker.’ Mr. Filley stood at the door and as each of the Legislators went out gave hima hearty hand-shake and a cordial word. The O’Neil-Joy Contest. The recount in the O’Neil-Joy congres- sional contest, which has been in progress for a week at the Recorder’s office, has aroused a good many inquiries as to the exact mode of procedure in congressional contests. In 93 on this point yester - day, Mr. Joy sa “+A contest for. a seat in tried in St. Louis. The proceeding here is simply like a commission to take testimony in 1 . case. The witnesses are called before a „United States Commissioner or notary publ ¢ and their testimony in the case goes to Washington before the Committee on: Elec- tions, who pass upon it.“ How does this testimony get before the committee?’’ It is taken down usually by a stenographer and his notes transcribed. After this is done and all the testimony taken it is sent to the Clerk of the House, together with the briefs and arguments on behalf of the contestant or contestee, which are printed at the expense of the Government, and the printed record and briefs are referred by Congress to the Committee on Elections. This committee, after considering the testimony and argu- ments, makes their report to Congress with its recommendations, eitherin favor of the contestant or contestee, and upon their re. port the House of Representatives acts.

Now, I’ll tell you about a big superstition that obtains nere, and on nearly every board in the country, for that matter. There isa syndicate of women spread out over the whole United States, from Maine to Califor- nia, who call themselves“ spiritualistic ‘mediums,’ and who make @ living out of the more credulous of us poor scalpers. These women pretend that they know how the markets are going from the spirits of de- ceased speculators, Who fina time from their celestial choir practice to take a glimpse into the future to see whdt the fluctuations will be and then drop down to the earth and give the tip to these gifted women, who in turn give it to a speculator, who deals according- ly, Says the Chicago Tribune. There are hundreds of these serio-comic imposters making a business of supplying Chicago scalpers with their ‘ghost tips.. F. D. Brown said that he often got ghost tips. but did not rely on them. They are not reliable,’’ he added. old Dagal Stewart, the old Board of Trade man, used to give me tips, but they did not come out right once in a dozen times. ** Wheat Will Go Up Four Points. Any number of scalpers will tell you that the great speculators employ mediums, but they dont care to be quoted because it is re- garded as unprofessional in a certain sense to be considered an operator on ghost tips.“ All mediums do not work on the Board of Trade, but of those who do Chicago has a bountiful supply, and their principal rendes - vous is on the West Side. Nearly all are women. Their manner of recording the ings. eand into * How By the toe The and rapturously, e- ciphers what the ‘*spirit of Dan’) ebster wrote.“ She is only the medium“ through which Daniel conveys the precious itnforma- tion. It was Daniel who wrote it, she as- sures.

He Constructs a Hinged Door to Cover His Dwelling. Written for the Sunpay Post-DIsPaTcu. ‘The artistic work of spiders has, at all times, attraéted the interest of naturalists One ofthe most striking accomplishments in this line is the nest of a spider which lives in Spain and Southern France, the cteniza fodiens. This Spider bores a tubelike hole about four or five inches in the ground, Which it lines with a fine weft, soft as velvet. Over the top the little insect builds a lid of ‘earth „which fits exactly over the somewhat ®ianting aperture. The under side of the Gover is also padded with the downy weft in a 8 one side of it is hinged to the tube. The hinge is strong enough to hold the twotogether. The upper side of the lid is not covered witn the web, but looks like the earth which surrounds this artistic domicile, which makes it very dificult to discover the presence of the spider. The inner side of the lid is provided with small holes from which the animal hangs suspended when Inside its house with the lic closed. If the spider is on the hunt for prey, it opens the lid and closes it im- mediately as soon as a careless insect has entered the trap. The lid is held downso tightly by the spider that it is difficult to pry it open with a pen-knife. CIRCUS CLOWNS. Some ofthe Tricks Pe-formed by the Fa- mous Renz Ce'ebra‘ted Clowns. Renz, the greatest circus manager of the age, who died some months ago in Berlin at the advanced age of 78 years, was known to Carry with him always acorps of clowns, who were unique in their line. They were artists inthe pantomime, a feature which Renz introduced first, besides they were as clever tricksters as any magician in his spe cial line. 2 One ofthese amusing pleasantries which never failed to bring down the house was the vanishing lady. A woman seemed to dis- appear from the center of a platform before the very eyes of the spectators, and for whicheven the most far-sighted could not The Vanishing Lady. account. It was done in this way: Inthe center of a platform, free from every kind of machination, trap-doors, etc., and other stage contrivances, the clowns constructed before the eyes of their audience a Uttle house of light wood panels. When the house was finished they decided among themselves to find alodger for it, and as theirciownish appearance might interfere with the rental of the premises, they adopted tho lackey’s garb and went out in search vf the loager. Presently they returned Withalady, whom they followed at are- Spectful distance, and inst alled in the little Concealing the Boy. . They continued playing their roles, g her a fan, carrying flowers, refrgsh- „te., tothe lady, and all the while ng on the most animated conversa- , finishing at last by overthrowing and g the house, when, to the stupe- audience and to the themselves, mo lady is geems to have melted ay ore their very noses. The key to ee tg ———— ious. ed by three clowns. One of 4 i 4 ee aa r . „ ‘i r 1 * * e r * 1 — * one A whole, Was cloud « less dawn for * moon mo them is dressed as the lady, who becomes the lodger of the othertwo. Underneath her fashionable array the supposed woman wears a lackey’s costume exackly like those of her two servant men. Plece by piece she divests herself of her clothing while inside the house, and How He Disappeared. plece by piece all is carried away by the other two underneath thelr coats, as they come back and forth on their errands. in the busy to and fro the audience does not become aware of the fact that one of the lackeys has dropped out at the last moment, and his place is taken by the lackey inside the house justas his companion commences to demolish the latter, in which job he dili- gently joins. Another amusing combination of clown skill which mystified the visitors of the Renz circus was the following: After an exhibi- tion of various tricks, the twoclowns pro- rose to play magician for the delectation of each other. One of them takes a large mantle into which he wraps himself, and places on his head a tall, cone-shaped hat, He then asks a small boy who hap- pens to be near to sit down on a chair. The would-be magician places on the boy’s head an egg, an apple, a goblet, or any other object that may be handy, and covers the head of the child with his hat, re- moving the latter several tunes, to show that the in is still there. When he raises the hat for the last time the object is gone, no one Knows where. The comrade of the improvised magician feigns the most absurd mystification. Sud- denly he breaks out into roaring laughter, pinions the arms of his friend, turns him about, and showsto the audience that the hat is plercedin the rear witha hole large enough to extract object after object, just as with his right hand he is in the act of lifting the hat from the boy’s head. The second clown, by the most amusing play of mimicry, informs his companion that he has but very little faithinthe magic tal- ent of the former, and will give him a better display of the black art as practiced by him- self. He snatches the mantle from his shoulders and wraps himself into it, cocking the tall hat over his ear. He then takes a second sheet, or mantle, which he throws around the child as he sits down on the chair, and a moment later snatches it away. The child is gone. Again the audience 1s mystified beyond expression. The second artist puts on a triumphant air, and strides Away with majestictread. As he turns to go to the door the child is seen depending from his shoulders. In the moment in which he has thrown the mantle around the small boy, the latter has crawled between the legs of the chair and the clown’s and has hooked himself to the latter’s back. This last trick, which was always skillfully performed, was time and again received with loud applause by the visitors of the.circus **Renz.’’ It would lead too far to enumerate all the feats of Renz’ favorite clowns, Dut they were numerous, and never failed to make up some of the best numbers of the show. These clowns were artists in their particular genre, andamongthe highest priced employes of his crew. THE CHAONORAMA. An Amusing Instaument Which May Be Usei Without Instructions. Written for the SUNDAY Posr-Dinraron. This jngenious apparatus can be used with- out special preparation for tableaux of lllusive images, which dissolve into each other. It can be used in daylight as well as at night. Any kind ofa picture can be in- serted: photographs, colored lithographs, / engravings, etchings, half-tints. The way in which the apparatus works is exceedingly simple. Two pictures are placed in the upper slides of the box. In order to do this properly it is well to mount them on the holders which come with every ° hen ut into the slides the pictures are turned ace downward. By opening one of the traps fi ct fades can be repeated with any number of pictures, which incline atanangle of 45 deg. in the little black chamber of the aparatus, and are projeeted against the objective by — 528 — — co — mirrors set at an angle of 25 degrees. To make a perfect presenta ion of every view, the apparatns must be well lighted from above. Thunders‘orm at Sea. An electrical storm at sea is one of the alarming experiences to which a mariner is exposed, but as a matter of record itis least fruitful of disastrous results. Asa rule, few precautions are taken to guard against a stroke of lightning, especially in the mer- chant service. Ships of war are usually fitted with light- ning conductors—a precaution made neces- sary by the explosives stored away in their magazines. But these safeguards are seldom seen on a merchant vessel, and judging by the extreme rarity of the cases where they have been struck, Jack’s claim that he 18 safer on the ocean than on shore during an electrical disturbance must be admitted, itis a well established theory that one caught ina thunderstorm should not take sheiter under a tall tree, especially if it stands in a clearing. Why lightning should strike an insolated piece of timber on shore and spare it after it has been converted into . mast is yet to be satisfactorily. ex- plained. — A WATCH THAT MULTIPLIES. Saami An Ingenious Method of Teaching Chil- dren Their Tables Written for the SuNpAY PoOsT- DISPATCH.

It is estimated that 15,000,000 feet of in- sulated wire will be required to effect the distribution of current for lighting the 92.000 electriz lamps which are to be used in the buildings and grounds of the World's Colum- bian Exposition. Electricity has been successiully applied in agricultural operations at the Polytechnic Institute at Alabama, at which place a motor has been at work since last spring threshing oats, wheat, rye and barley, cuttingensilage, grinding corn and ginning the pressing cot- ton. And thisis going on ina State where, less that fifty years ago, according to the Engineering Magazine, hundreds of miles of telegraph wires were destroyed by a mob of farmers because the wires were supposed to have superinduced a distressing drougnt which occurred shortly after their erection. The power-house forthe Atlantic avenue trolley road of Brooklyn will be Gnished in February, when one line will immediately go into operation. Work is!progressing at the foot of Division avenue for the 12,000 horse- power plant for the 12,000 horse-power sta- tion of the Brooklyn City Electric Railroad, The change from horses to trolley through- out the 500 miles of street railways in Phila deiphia will make a difference of millions of dollars every year in the net profits of the company, which has obtained the franchise by a recent final decision of the courts, Philadelphia has more miles of surface tram - ways than any other city in the world. Some idea of the size of the contemplated undertaking may be had from the fact that at least 10,000 poles will be required to equip the lines included in the grant. The electrical fakir is again abroad in the land, and again the electrical press sounds a warning to the over-credulous inventor who isapttohand his money over to electrical quacks or impostors.. Ordinary intelligence, which generally keeps a man from believing that ten units of powercan be derived from one, seemsto forsake many as soon as elec. tricity is introduced into the problem. Classic Boston, according to report, is now pouring money into the coffersof a genius in this line, and a visit from the fool-killer is badly needed. In view ofthe fact that many fire inspeet - ors report fires they cannot account for as due to electricity, the Electrical World has worked out the following argument for them to base their opinion upon: ‘‘Electricity is something the exact nature of which is un- known. Therefore, as things equal to the same thing are equal to each other, the cause of the average fire is electricity.’’ Probably the first electrical publication in the Japanese language isthe Journal of the Electrical Society of Tokio, which has re- cently been issued, English mathematical formule and characters are used, and these are strung up and down the pease in perpen- dicular fashion to correspond with the rest of the type. The symbol used to signify a dy- namo machine closely resembles a music stand such as is used in a theater orchestra. The manufacture of aluminum by an elec- trolytic process is to be gone into quite ex- tensively at Forges, France. The falls of the Praz River, giving 2,000 horse pwer, are to be utilized and a plant erected soon. A remunerative position for a competent expert would be traveling around doctoring up small electric plants. It is reported that a great many of the older electric lighting installations in country towns, owing to bad Management, ignorant engineers and other causes, have deteriorated considerably, and in some cases so much so that they are not able to dothe work they are called upon to perform. An electric light plant, like other wonderful growths, needs continuous and competent care. One of the unsolved problems of electrical engineering seems to be the designing of a successful lightning arrester for trolley roads. Many electricians have worked on it, but notwithstanding their efforts thunder- storms continue to burn out armature, and thus paralyze the heart of the system.

Sheedy led witha straight right, which was clev- erly blocked by Corbett; Corbett’s counter was evaded and then Sneeay Gelivered a terrible upper cut which champion full in the that organ up tight for the pres- ent. There was a call of time. Corbettled and, bearing evidence of able handling by his seconds, crowded Sheedy to the ropes. Raliying, however, Sheedy fought his way to the center of the ring where both men are measuring capabilities and sparring for wind. That is the way the regulation prize fighter would put it, but the war of words has been fully covered by the press and the foregoing may be easily translated. If James J. Corbett is allowed to talk very much more he will find few believers even among his friends that he is the most gen- tlemanly pugilist the world has ever known. Pat Sheedy, who offered to det 51,000 that Corbett hedged on his fight with Sullivan, has not put his money up yet nor offered to accept the $5,000 bet proposed by Brady. Sheedy explains this by saying that if the bet was left with Brady andthe Corbett brothers they would decide against him and he would be throw- ing $1,000 away, He does not propase to lose the wager on the technicality that Corbett personaliy did not place the money in gan Francisco before the fight took Place in New Orleans; however, he Willallow his offer to stand, provided the bookmakers in San Francisco with whom Harry Corbett bet the money are allowed to decide the matter; He offered to bet another $1,000 that telegrams were received on the Corbett train when it was coming north trom New Orleans from Larry Corbett. According to Sheedy these telezrams assumed a form of a demand for the money with which to pay the bookmakers. The responsibility for this story Sheedy shiftsto the shoulders of Eugene Comiskey of the New York Athietic Club. Sheedy also says that Corbett’s gloves were 60 padded that they protected his hands when he fought Sullivan, and he has $5,000 to bet that he will not fight with paddea gloves when he meets Mitchell. The Corbett party profess to have $30,000 that they will bet that Sheedy is not telling the truth. In the Hoff- man House the other night a whisper was heard to the effect that every man in the dis- cussion would do well to show the color of hig money and not do so much talking. And so this ferocious hurling of paper pellets con- tinues. the closing caught mouth SERVING TWO MASTERS. But does this removethe main question— can Mr. ordett adopt two professions and slight either one for the other Can Mr. Corbett, to use the language of one of his critics, ‘‘wrap the champlonship of the world in cotton batting and lay it away in the bottom of his theatrical trunk?’’ There are many who don’t belleve in mix- ing up fighting and acting or in a nimble- fisted knocker like (orbett making the cham- pionship of the slugging arena secondary to the steliarity of histrionism.

THE WHEELMAN’S DUTY—MEETING OF THE MISSOURI DIVISION BOARD. An almost necessary adjunctto the sport of cycling is the League of American Wheel- men, and one would imagine that enrolled in the ranks of the organization would be found the names of all the riders in the State, but such isnot the case, membership amounts to about 700 outofa possible 3,000. To any one old enough to ride itis needless to point out the power of the League of American Wheelmen, it is seen on every side, and mighty finuence exerted be apparent to all. Many scarcely realize that, a few years ago, the rights of the bicycle on the public thoroughfares were questioned and legally contesied, andthat it is only through the persistent and combined efforts of the then small but devoted band of wheelmen Known asthe L. A. W. thatthe privileges which all wheelmen enjoy at present were obtained. The wheelman’s rights having been estab- lished must be maintained. His passage overthe road may be questioned by some people who consider a cyciista prey for their destructive greed, and heip.ess to pregent, the cycler sees his wheel demoiished and considers himself lucky to escape with a few bruises. It is tirue that the cyclist has the law on his side but to fight this brute and teach him a lesson willtake time and money. Fortunately if the rider is a member of the L. A. W. in his emergency he finds that he has in this organ- igation a strong and pwerful friend and ally.

Expert players make each ball take one or more cushions between the two contacts. This does away with long runsin the corners, except under very favorable circumstances, It also makes the open table shots much dificult. This is shown by a comparison of Figs. 2 and 8.

Interest in the coming championship con- test between Billy Murphy, the Australlan o, and Johnny Griffin, the Braintree boxer, which takes place before the Coney Isiand Athietic Club on Monday evening, Feb.6, continues, Little or no betting has taken place on the result as yet, but it Is safe to say there will be some brisk wagering bo- fore the ght takes place. The Murphy backers are looking for odds. The pre- liminary contest of twenty rounds beween Kid Hogan and Dolly Lyons on the same evening will also be a hot go from start to finish. All four men are training with great care, and as they are confident of winning the entertainment should be of the highest order. Griffin weighed when he began train i 128 pounds and at easy stages he is comeing down to the featherweight limit. His work consists mostly of punching the bag and dumb bell exercises. At this kind of work he is clever. His task atthe inflated bali every day consists of twenty rounds. “Griffin does not believe in the stories that have been cireulatedto the effect that the fight between Murphy and Tommy White, which took place in San Fran- cisco recently was fixed. riffin said,in talx- of the matter: The Australian is not that ckers to secure the Madison Square Gar- den and they will confer with the manage- ment of the latter this evening.

MEETING OF THE MISSOURI DIVISION, A special meeting of the officers of the Missouri Division, L. A. W., was held at the South Side Cycie Club last night and with all but three of the officers present. ihe dele- gates to the Constitutional Convention to be held at Philadelphia on Feb. 20 were in- structed to vote for the White“ amend- ment and also to favor the adoption of the new racing rules proposed by Chairman Raymond. Actionon the new constitution was deferred until the proposed changes to be made at Philadeiphia have been adopted. Sedalia was heartily indorsed as the best place forthe annual meet this year anda number of communications were read from Other points. CYCLING CHAT. E. S. Barnes of Mexico, Mo., is in the city. There are now 700 women members in the L. A. U. The marriage of B. O. Hoffman of the South Side is announced. Buffalo has 1,200 wheelmen, thirty agents and seven bicycle manufacturers. E. F. Barnard of Alton and L. E. Flesher of Oma- ha were among the week’s Visitors, Hal Greenwood, the well-known hill-climber, s peut a few days here last week visiting friends. Last Saturday night the Cycling Club was enter- tained by Tom Graham and fully thirty members partook of his hospitality. Austraiian racers wear colors instead of numbers to distinguish them when racing. The idea adds an increased charm to the picture of a racing fie!d. Tom Roe of Chicago was the first cyclist to apply foralicense torace under the auspices of the Na- tional Cycling Association or Cash Prize League. Band brakes which are being introduced on some American machines this year are not popular in England, and at the Stanley Show nota wheel was 80 equipped. Euchre parties continue to flourish at the Cycling Club, and — Tuesday nine tables were in use. The prizes were awarded during the evening and danc- Ing followed. Last Sunday Capt. Wolzendorf, W. J. Cox and W. P.

WESTERN SPARRING CHAMPIONSHIPS, In all local gymnasiums and turner halls can be seen athietes preparing themselves for the sparring and wrestling champlon- ships, March s and 4. This year’s chaimpion- ships, unlike former affairs of this kind, has given the competitors ample time for preparation, so as to make the contests more attractive owing to the goat condition of the athle es. Toe weight classification has also done a great deal towards bringing out good men who did not feel justified in giving away too much weight attiletically speaking. Eastern authorities on athietics highly com- mend the move of the Western Association in Classifying weights at every ten pounds, which does away with Qne-sided competi- tions, Chicago will be more strongly repre- sented than ever, as negotiations are already pending with the railroad companies for coach ra es, which will bring down not only the athletes forthe sparring and wrestlin chawplonships, but also a Chicago foot- ball team to compete against a picked team of st. mt Sunday, March 5, at Compton Avenue Ark. A POPULAR PASTIME OFFICER, The Pastime Athletic Club is beginning te show signs of new life under its new regime, and the selection of Rufus J. Delano as Presi- dent and John H. Boogher as Vice-President as ractically the ‘unanimous choice of the organization, has already proven a popular move. John H. Boogher is a fitting representation-of the forciblility of that adage, ‘‘Handsome fs as handsome does. Handsomely endowed by nature and full of the magnetism that draws well in the avenues in which it circulates, is in every way gratified the honors which he so well and gracefully bears. He has been prominentiy identified with the progress and growth of the Pastimes, and has actively espoused measures that have resulted in much good to the welfare of the club. Mr. Boogher is a member of the law firm of Taylor & Boogher. He is on the sunny side of a0, and a graduate of the St. Louis Central High perry Poa University of Virginia and the st. Louis wWSchool,. He has already taken a deep interest in athietics and his present elevation to the vice-presi- dency has been won through an unselfish devotion tothe club’s interests, and is in recognition of energetic and honestly- directed efforts in developing the aims and purposes of the club in the athletic worid. Mr. Boogheris a member of the Board of Management of the Pastimes and will, itis safe to say, prove worthy of the trusts im- posed upon him. — NEW YORK BASE BALL CLUB.

Care must be taken to impart a uniform speed to each ball, so that they may not fall of collision on the return, There is a better way of making this shot with the object of getting the balls into position. The most important feature in position | play lies in keeping the object ball close to the cushion. As played, avoiding the figure 4, it is not likely that the resulting position would be a favorable one, as it is beyond human power to so gauge the shot as to make the balls strike on any particular side, In figure 4, in order to keep the object ball near the long rail, the cue ball would have to travel slightly faster, so that on the second contact it would meet the object ball on the outside and thus **hold’* it. According to figure 6; ‘how- ever, it is ible to make the shot so that a good position will ſollow, no matter on which side the balls strike. ihis is because there are two cushions, and if the object ball doesn’t stop close to one, the chances are it will rest comfortably near the other.

This was the first time the old mare has been out since Aug. 27, last year, when she ran second, a head behind George Hankins’ Ragner, in a three-fourths mile affair at Garfield Park. Lamasney did not @®xpect her to do much better than show yes - terday, and he told Phil Dwyer, who in com- pany with Ed Kearney spent the afternoon at the track, to play Sir Lancelot. After the race Dan said: ‘‘Well, my mare either fooled me badly as to her con- dition, or the field she has just Gefeated must be a sorry lot of dogs.’’ Many thought Germanic’s owner had played her heavily, because she was backed down “from 8 to 4 to 1, but such was not the case, as he did not have a dollar on the mare. Lit - tle May was ma de the favorite in the open- ing detting at 8 to 1. From to 10 to 1 could be secured against the rest. Most of the money, however, was piled in on Germanic and Sir Lancelot, and the result was the latter two, Little May and Hanley 8. went to the post equal favorites at 4 to 1, Guilty was the second choice at 8 to 1. Sir Lancelot and Little May were first to show, in the order named. In the backstretch Little May was leading one length before Balance All. Germanic moved upinthe turntothe stretch, while Balance All quit. At the head of the stretch Ger- manic was a length behind Little May. Bar- rett then drew away with the Lamasney mare and won from Little May with about one length to spare, Guilty was third, some three lengths away from Little May. Belle Redmond was figured out dy almost everyone as an air tight’’ in the opening scramble, being backed down from (tos to? to 10. Ellison, who opened at 2, closed at 8 to 1. Froms to 0 to lwas quoted against the chances ofthe rest of the field, which was made up of non- winners during this meeting. To the surprise of every one Belle Redmond did not figure to any conspicuous extent in the race from start to finish, Ellison, the sec- ond choice, winning quite handily by two engths from Normie. That noted old campaigner, Dyer, was the favorite from the start in the next event, opening at 2 to I and closing at 5 to 2. Franco and Volci closed equal second choices at (to 1, while Diana, who opened at 8, could be had in the closing betting at 5tol. The latter was off in front, but retired in favor of Mary Hall at the head of the back stretch, After showing the way undisturbed from this point onward, Mary won by two lengths from Franco and Diana, who finished, heads apart, in the order named Franco came strong towards the finish, and just did nip Diana. Panani opened at 8to5, closed a slight fa- vorite at 8 to 2. Ike 8. and Johnnie Weber were equal second choices at 5 to 2.

In eturntothe stretch the Striker gelding swung wide, carrying both Ballardine and Pananiout with him. Principal, who was immediately behind the trio, then came through on the inner rail, and won aftera driving finish by a head from Ike S. and Panani, who were alsothe same distance apartinthe order named. Johnnie Weber ran a disappointing race. He pulled up limping badly. The anniversary handicap at three-quar- tersof a mile, which followed, broughta fair classed field out. Florence shanks and liberty Bell were most fancied by the **hookies.’’ They opened equal favorites at 8 to 1. Barthol and Frontinella were each quoted at 4 to 1. Liberty Bell, however, caught the crowd, and they made him the first choice at 8to5. Barthol was also played extensively, which sent his price down to2 to 1. Florence Shanks closedatStol. St. Anthony and the favorite were in front when the flag flashed, but the former stopped almost immediately as t some one struck him with an ax. Avon D’Or then spurted, as did also Barthol. Like St. Anthony, nowever, Avon D'or soon dropped back again andthe contest in the backstretch narrowed down to a strruggle between Liberty Bell and Barthol. At the head of the stretch Conroy’s Son of Blazes was leading by one-half a length. In the stretch he drew away and increased his lea- dership, winning easily by one length from Florence Shanks, who defeated Barthol for the place by three lengths.

Billy Cotton smiled good naturedly, but the smile was soon chased away by Frank Elliott bidding Gladiator up $300 over his entered selling price. Elliott ran second with Red Elm. Jimmie Shoelds put an infant brother to Jockey Griffin on the Jersey Lass filly, and the plunger foolishly bet on this combination, making the Lass favorite for the second race. The infant went to sleep at the post, got away last and finished fourth. Blossom, 4to 1. won from Blue and White second, and Tody Smith third. In the tnird race Panway upset a hot favor- ite by defeating Jack Rose, but the plungers secured a portion of their money back when Estelle galioped in winner of the fourth race.

The entries for the stakes of the spring meeting of the St. Louis Fair Association, and which closes Jan. 16, numbers 1,370, an ave- rage of seventy-six horses for each of the eighteen events. Prior to 1892 fifty per stake was considered a very high average indeed and the whole Western racing world was im- mensely surprised last year when the Fair Association obtained the entirely unprece- dented average of eighty-one horses to each event. There are many new causes to lower the Western average of entries this season. Last year St. Louis had no dan- gerous rival but the Latonia Jockey Club to reckon with, whereas this season she finds competing conditions in every direction. The exceeding liberality shown by the (New) Cumberland at Nashville will keep a number of horses in the South long enough for their owners to findit equally good policy to race at Louisvilie and tonia as at St. Louis, while had Nashville not offered these new inducements these horses would have been at st. Louis in 1 mained here until the Washington Park and would have re- commencement at the end of June. Then again, it is evident that the authorities at Louisville and Lexington have become awake to the absolute necessity of resurrecting an interestin home racing among the breeders and turfmen of Kentucky, and their efforts in that direction have secured for their meet- ing a number of Kentucky sportsmen whose colors will not be seen further West than Louisville this season. The Latonia people have been working in every Western stable yard for months past to secure entries, and a brand new substracting factor from an entry list is to be found this year inthe shape ol winter racing, nowin progress in Chicago. A year ago, there was not at this date. a horse in training in Chicago, nor were there advertised the terms of any stakes to be run before the Washington Park meeting, while now, there are perhaps a thousand horses in training between Hawthorne and Roby, and the former has freely advertised a long list of liberal stakes which close next — | Under these circumstances, it is exceeding: ly flattering to findthatan average scarcely inferior to that of last year, and 50 per cent in advance of those of previous seasons, has been obtained for the Fair Association’s forty-elgut-day meeting, which commences on the 29th day of April and continues until June 238. Turning to the caliber of the horses en- gaged it may be said that they are ofa higher class than those secured last season. The Club Members’ handicap last year at- tracted eighty-seven entries and furnished decidedly the highest class and best race in the West of the whole year, if indeed, not of all cime. For this year’s renewal of the event there are ninety entries, and the quality booked for the struggle is superb. By an unfortunate mistake in the stable the entry of Yo Tambien was not mailed in time, or every great horse inthe West would have been booked for this stake, which, however, even in the absence of that great filly,cannot fail to produce a splendid field. Among the prominent entries are Vortex, whose source of trouble has been discovered, and who is now back in his old 8-year-old form; Blarneystone, Jr., Ida Pickwick, Ada - lia, the resurrected Long Fish, Ray S., Jim Murphy. Balgowan and Minnie L., who 1s said also to ve back in her early form. The useful Lord Willowbrook is on the list, and so is that once most speedy customer, Zaldl- dar. Montana Regent has been brought back to the turf and will havea shy for the big race. McCafferty & Wishard havea whole fleet engaged, among them being Aloha, Helen Nichols and Hugh Penny. King Lee, the best 2-year-oid last year, in the West would look very threatening for the race were it not that the last Futurity winner, Morello, follows him tmmediately in the list of nominators. Verge D'or, Re- sponse, Irish Chief, Semper Rex, and Long Shot are among the well known names en- tered, and these are supplemented by New- ton, Riley, Wadsworth, Huron, Ethel, Phil Dwyer, Mabelle, Bolivar Buckner, Bonnie Byrd, Faraday, Semper Fidele, Prince Kin- ney, Highland, El Rayo, Santa Anna, Santi ago and other almostequally well-known celebrities. The best 8-year-olds in the West are en- gagedin the stakes events, and if nothing gOes amiss, itis well on the cards that dur- ing the meeting a struggie between Helen Nichols, the best filly of the year; King Lee, the best 22-year-old colt in the West last season, and the Futurity winner, Morello, will take place. Who would not traveia thousand miles to see it? Among the stake horses of the age engaged are also Hugh Penny, Michel, Col. S., Gov. Filter, Gov. Brown, Golda, Miss Mosely anda number of Californians, the property of such well- known turfmen of the slope as Messrs. Bald- win, Borwer Ashe, B. G. Holly. etc. More 2-year-olds are entered for the coming meeting than has ever been the case before and ali the great stallions in the country are represented in the list through their sons and daughters. ‘ihe youngsters come from all points of the compass, and there are wot only more of them engaged, but the number of owners entering them is very much larger than has hitherto been the Case. The ownership is well split up, a fact ofthe utmost promise in the matter of producing keen competition and good racing.

New Tonk, Jan. 28.—The boom which has been extenaed to racing in the West by the efforts of the Washington Park .Club of Chi- ¢ago to make its World's Fair meeting not merely of national but international impor. tance seems to have benefited every Western jockey club. The Monmouth Park and the Saratoga Associations are likely to suffer the most, as their meetings are run when the big Chica meeting will attract the crack-a- jacks to the West and the Brighton Beach meeting in the East will bring together such of the horses as cannot be placed to best advantage in the big stakes, loucester will take care of the so-called poor horses. Still the managements Of Saratoga aad Monmouth Park are willing to make ample provision. There are few persons connected with the turf to-day who are aware that the Brooklyn handices p was created by the Brighton Beach Racing Association years before the Brooklyn Jockey Olub was organized. The Brooklyn handicap has become a famous turf event, 1 the most noted in this country, and ts yearly decision at Gravesend calls for col - umns of newspaper description. Ninety-nine in a hundred turf goers believe this handicap dates from the organization of the Brooklyn Club, and will be interested in learning that many contests forthis event took place at Brighton Beach when the rac. ing association there had many fixed events on its programme, The Brooklyn handicap at Brighton nine years ago had sixty-five subscribers and was run in June. The dls- tance was a mile and a quarter, The mention of the names of some of these old-timers will recall pleasant memories to many an old race-goer. The field for the Brooklyn handicap of to-day is ofa higher tional Cuts to Close Sale. MUST MOVE, and this class and greater fame, thus illustrating the gradual progress of the turf. The stake book of the Brighton Association in these old days was a handsome affair. At Jerome Park the Oneck stable, although composed principally of new blood is un- doubtedly a werful one and will surely play an important part in the forthcoming season, Walter Rollins, the trainer, is at present at the Hot Springs, but his place is filled by his father-in-law, Mr. Odell, who has left no stone unturned to make the famous old Belmont stable as comforfable as possible and probably to-day thereis nota better arranged stable in the United States than the one occupied by the Oneck horses. The stable this season is composed of nine- teen highly bred youngsters and eleven older horses, principally 8-year-olds now. The youngsters were carefully selected by Trainer Rollins. He is particularly fond of the get of Midlothian, His reason for this is doubtless the gameness and stamina shown by Sir Walter last year. G. W. Johnson, the phenomenal Western crack, takes first place at the stable, not- withstanding the successful campaigning Sir Walter did. He has wiutered well, and as faras looks go he will certainly take the palm among the 3-rear-olds. He is lighter in the body than when seen at the sale at Mor- ris Park and is regularly worked daily at Jerome Park. He is quiet and docile, There is not the slightest doubt about the colt being able to, train. He is more like his — sire than probably any other of his get. Sir Walter has filled out considerably, but not as much as one would think. In fact Sir Walter willalways be a light colt and will have very little trouble to get fit for his early engagements. Thecolt is very lively and full of dash. His coat is as sleek as a ground mole 's. John Hunter is generally represented every racing season with afew good 2-year-olds, and this season is not likely to be an ex- ception to the preceeding ones. Jacob Pincus has in charge at Sheepshead Bay elev. ven strapping youngsters which are the prop- erty of the present Board of Control. Pincus is one of the ablest trainers on the turf, and Knows as well as anyone how to bring a thor- oughbred fit tothe post. He has taken great interest in the string of youngsters under his charge, and they reflect great credit on him. Each one is so good looking that at present it would bea difficult task for one to select the best. ' A brown colt by Muscovy—Empress, is one on whom too muen praise cannot he bestowed and alike all the offspring of the Empress, 1s bright and lively, * . . 4 brown colt by Tremont—La Traviata is speedy, and as Pincus is famous for develop- ing Tremont youngsters into fine race horses it would be no surprise to see the present youngster, who isa full brother to Lovelace, make a high-class race horse, John Healy, who Began racing two years ago, has a small stabie of horses, but at the same time there areamong the number two horses that any man would feel proud to own. One is Hollis, a Drown colt by Pirate of Penzance—Loralte, by Girigl. In any breeding establishment in the United States it would be difficult to finda youngster to compare with him. He is great in stature with grand legs. Last September it seemed as if he would have too much day- light under him, but his body deepened 80 much that his legs now look natural, and it seems as ifa brilliant future was before this young relation of Salvator. The colt is full of life, and lucky is the man who pads his Stall without being nipped. Chestnut filly by Onondaga—Mary Lamp- hire by Wanderer is a good looking filly and she showed a great turn of speed last fall. Pactolus is in great shape so far, his legs now being as sound as a bell. He is a hard horse to handle, and nobody seems able to ride him except his trainer. English Lady is looking the picture of health. She has filled out wonderfully, and looks to be fully 100 pounds heavier than last season, Should she break downthis coming season she will become one of she matrons of the turf at Milton Young’s. There will be upward of twenty 2-year old horses inthe string of Mr. August Belmont this season. The majority of them are by St. Blaise oatof Belmont mares. Other sires represented in the Belmont 2-year-old division are 3 Yalop, Mr. Richwich, Leon- atus, Glenelg, King Fisher, Longfellow and The Bard. The other division of the Belmont horses will be headed by the speedy Lady Vio- let. All are doing well. The latest rumor among horsemen isthat Matt Allen, who last year trained for the now defunct Ehret stable, will train for Richard Croker this year. Mr. Croker’s horses— Yorkville Belle, Fairy and Dobbins—are now wintering in Mr. M. F. Dwyer’s stable at the Gravesend track. It is probable that the string will be considerably increased before the spring training season is fully under way. In view ofthe recent decision in regard to Stamboul and Kremlin, the following from the Turf, Field and Farm Correspondent is in- teresting: ‘*I regard the stallion Kremlin as the most likely candidate for two-minute honors of any horse that has yet appeared on the turf. While lam not prepared to say that I expect to see him goa mile in two minutes in 1893, yet he has shown a speedy capacity that would very nearly land him there; and when it is taken into account the age of the horse, the few races he has participated in, the limited amount of track work he has re- ceived, and the phenomenal speed he has already shown, it would indicate, to my mind, at least, the greatest and fastest turf performer that has ever yet appeared before the public. He hag trotted eighths in 1:48. to a high-wheel sulky, and it is but. reasonable to suppose that he will improve even on this magnificent speed, and I believe he can de- feat either in a race ora time contest any horse or mare living. The sale of the Palo Alto horses bred by Senator Stanford of California, which was begun by Mr. Kellogg at the American Insti- tute yesterday, wasa surprise on account of the poor prices realized. The reason for this is expressed as follows: Palo Alto at present has no stallion that hasas yet proved him. self the equal of the late istinguished Electioneer and Palo Alto. While American - public in general and racing in particular, never stop to consider figures when it comes to buying the best, something that has been tried, they will al- ways hesitate about risking large sums in purely speculative ventures in the get of untried stallions. Considerable tai has been indulged in re- arding the great stallion Almont and roar- ng prociivities, The climatein this coun- try, and particularly on the Pacific slope, seems to exercige arly beneficial effect on horses touched inthe wind, and much as the theory may have gained din En- gland that ‘‘roaring’’ is ah tary disease, observations contrary.

An offer of $15,000 for the foal, made by an Eastern turfman, has been refused for the youngster. If it is a chestaut colt with the Sal- vador markings Sacramento will de flooded with champagne water beyond all doubt. George Covington has been engaged as trainer by Thomas H. Williams, Jr., of San Francisco, He will have an excellent string to work on, and as Coving- ton has received his education“ in the best stables of the West and in that of Green orris in the Fast and is a very intelligent fellow, we look for the Williams horses to win many a stake this season. Breeding often furnishes contradictions. In Eng- land the celebrated horse Sterling was notoriously a non-stayer, yet he got in Isonomy the finest stayer of his generation. Vedette, on the other hand, was a stayer, yet his Galopin line are not as a rule stayers. Prince Charile did not star; yet he got stayers in Prestonpans,in England,and Salvator here. Fellowcraft in this country was a famous stayer, but Lis progeny prefer short courses. Philip J. Dwyer, President of the Brooklyn Jockey Cinb,a member of the Board of Control and the owner with his son ofa string of thoroughbreds, in- cluding Leonawell, one of last seasen’s crack 3-year- olds, Reclare, St. Carolus and other good ones, in company with Edward Kearney, spent yesterday e track. Dwyer and Kearney are on their way to Hot Springs. where they intend to spend about a month **bdoiling out. The former, asis generally known, is a brother and former partner of Michael F, Dwyer, who un- doubtedly owns the finest stable of horses on the American turf. Among his stars are the following: Longstreet, Kingston, Raceland, Banquet, Red Bannerand the Hammiecolt. In addition to these Dwyer will have in his stable the coming season, Richard Croter's recent n Yorkviile Belle, Dobbins and Fairy. Phil wasin partnership with Mike, when they owned Radamanthus, Miss Wood- ford, Hanover and Tremont. Jimmie McLaughlin used to ride for them in those days, and the stabile’s winnings amounted toa fortune every year. Since he seperated from Mike, Phil has not had much luck with his horses, while it has just been the opposite with Mike. Both brothers are independently rich, although Mike is usually credited wit having slightly more of the luere than his brother. Kearney is one of New York’s most noted sporting men and 122 He is one of the big guns in Tammany all. IN STTLE. A New York’s Couple Sensational Way of Getting Morrie.

The Chicago Herald has collected some very interesting pictures illustrating the use of the ski, a certain kind of snow shoe used in Norway and Sweden. Thereis a great aif. ference between the snow shoe as we know it in this country and that whichis in general use in Scandinavia. The North American snow shoe is built after the manner ofa ten nis bat, with the sole object in view of pre- venting the wearer from sinking into the snow. The Scandinavian shoe looks very much like a bed slat, with the edges bevelled and the endsturned up. At first sight it does not seem possible that the thing could be worn as a shoe, or at least, if so worn, that it could prove other than a serious obstacle to comfortable and material progress. Yet, when you get the knack of it you will be able to travel much faster than a person equipped with the ordinary shoe. In fact when going down hilla velocity equal to that of the toboggan is attained, and this circumstance is made use of in Jumping across fissures and hollows in the surface. The jumping done oa long hillsides witha — of 40 deg. or m About the middle of the incline there shoul be a buttock or projecting rock. When the **skier’, reaches this buttock ing at a — rate he is hurled outward and for- wa * In this way leaps of from seventy to ninety feet are often made and on one occasion a man cleared almost one hundred feet and kept his balance at that. It is sald that a greenhorn does not find much trouble in learning to use the ski. The Norwegians are familiar with them from childhood and regard their use as a matter of course. The skiisso worn that it is never allowed to leave the snow. The foot is fast- ened to the middie in such a way that the heel is free to move up and down. The ski are then driven forward bya pecullar slide, which gives the traveler a pleasing, grace- ful motion. Young women are said to look especially agreeable when moving along upon the ski ata high rate of speed. The shoe can be easily made from Scotch fir, birch or elm, ash, oak, as or maple. In a recent race in Swedish planda man covered 140 miles in less than twenty-two hours, rests included. The second man came in five seconds later. Probably an adequate idea of the speed attained on these shoes may be had when it is knowa that, in Norway itis customery to wear them when hunting hares and other smali game. No gun is carried, the hunter depending upon his ability to catch up with the animal and Deag him down with a short club, The ski is so necessary to pere tion in Scandinavia that it has na by thearmy. Soldiersare enabled by t use to make remarkably rapid advances, can easily overcome or harass those who ars not similarly equipped. The mail-carrierg also wear them. When you wish totravelata high rate of speed or for a great distance, it is desirable to use a long stick to steady yourself and ine crease the stride. It has been suggested that the ski be int ro- duced in this country to take the place of the less serviceable American shoe. Thereis no reason why the sport should not here and if we have many more it is likely that ski running will become lar. The one condition necessary for is that there shall be plenty of snow, with hard frozen surface. For this reason it not likely that the sk! will supplant the North American shoe, whichis better adapted to supporting heavy weights on soft snow, dag Leman snow nee — 1 oe 2 — to bear up a man heav aden * ings, — the 2 * ski is in or speed.

Louis—How Conduits Are Laid. ‘In consequence of the expiration during this month and March of the most important telephone patents held by the Bell company a new company intends to begin operating in St. Louis as soon as it can perfect its fran- chise, lowering the price of telephones from $100 to $60 a year and putting its wires in con- duits. The new company will apply to the Municipal Assembly Tuesday night for per- mission to use the streets, and having ob- tained that wiil probably begin operations by acquiring the conduit ‘of the Undorground Service Co. already laid and extending it. The company sent its articles of incorporation to Secretary of State A. A. Lesueur at Jefferson City yes- terday. Its name is the Telephone and Tele- graph Service Co. From the name it is seen that it not only intends to operate a tele - phone business itself, but to rent ducts in its conduit to other wire companies. Its capital stock is $25,000, divided into 250 shares of a par value of $100each. It is organized under the general telegraph laws of the State, art. 5, chap. 42. The pur- poses of the company, as they are defined in the articles of incorporation, are to con- struct, own, operate and maintain lines of wire overhead and underground, one or both combined, for magnetic telephone and tele- graph lines in St. Louis City and St. Louis County; Madison and St. Clair counties, III.

A St. Louis Conduit System. A proposition looking towards the munici- pal ownership of an underground conduit system looks fairer on the surface than it looks after analysis. The few city officials who have been ques- tionea on the subject by the Past-DISPATCH have not hesitated to reply that the city would 7 * 11 1 2. 5 N A vt Laying Conduits in New York. ness offices and maximum rate of $60 a year. That can be done at a profit toatelephone company. We will bave all the telephone patents we want residences at a * 2 to operate, including the fundamental patent on the transmission of the voice by electri- city, and the Blake transmitter, and we will the royalty charge ‘of $12 a year on each telephone that the Bell Co. has to pay the parent C ompany forever. We have already sent out our agents to canvass the city for subscribers, and our reports are most encouraging. Certainly a man will not pay $100 for a necessity he can get for $60 _. when the $60 article is of better quality. Our telephone service will be better than the Bell _ service, for we will run underground, and no zm overhead telephone service can be as good as a conduit service. We will meet the Bell on its own ground in St.Louis. Our franchise will be asked for Tuesday night, and we expect to show the Assembly that it will be a benefit to the city to pass our bill without delay.’’ ** Will you buy the conduit already laid?“ „Our franchise will allow us to buy that if ' we please or to own and buy any other gystem we want. If we acquire the rights of the conduit company we can extend its con- duit wherever our business demands. hy ny do you suppose the Bell Telephone C0. did not foresee this competition and ower its rates?“ St. Louls is a very small factor in the tele - hone situation of the country. New com- have sprung up lately in several big st. Louis ought to have 10,000 tele- » | Purpose by increas! its from Naa brd, be benefited by owning its on conduit system and renting the ducts to the companies, Then comes the inquiry: How could St. Louis raise the million dollars that it would cost to lay a conduit for use by all the companies that in the course of the next few years would want to use the ducts. It is generally understood by the financial officers of the city that while it is possible to get the people of the State to so change the Constitution as to allow st. Louis to issue bonds to build a conduit or to guarantee the interest on the bonds of a private company which would build the conduit, the difficul- ties in the way of such a step are so great that they are practicably insurmountable. So that plan of raising the money is out of the question. ANOTHER WAY PROPOSED. Then it has also been suggested that the rate of assessment on 4 that now prevails in st. Louis could be raised, so as to give the city a million or two more dollars from taxes on realestate. The property in the city is now assessed up to about 60 per cent of its real value. Aside from the oppo- sition to a proposition to raise the rates that would come from owners for selfish reasons there is another cause for keeping down the rate which seems to the fiscal officers of the city. This is that to increase the property valuations in St. Louis on which taxes are levied would be to make the city pay a stilllarger proportion of the State taxes than it is doing now. St. Louis now pays nearly two-thirds of the entire amount collected by the state from taxes, its rate being higher than in other parts of the State, To raise the values of og wy therefore would be bad business or the city. AI we started to raise the assessables in St. Louis I venture the hope that this city would be paying nearly all the expenses of the State in a short time,’’ said Depu Comptroller Ferd Ga yesterday. . dent of the Board Assessors John J.

This would be an increase of $16,000,000, and that would mean an increase of $160,000 on that part of the city tax which is spent on municipal demands, put into the City Treas- ury and disbursed by the Comptroller through his appropriation bills. Assistant City Comptroller Gabel was asked if it would be possible to apply this $160,000 to the building of a city conduit. **Certainly,’’ said he, if the Municipal Assembly wanted to do it, it could, but that wouldn’t build the conduits and, besides, this $160,000 would not become available till the fiscal year of 1894-5, you understand, after the new valuation is made. Would there be difficulty in holding this aay sy to be applied to the bDullding of a con- auit?’ Assistant Comptroller Gabel preferred to answer by reading from the last report of Comptroller Stevenson some figures showing how the demands for municipal spending kept ahead of the municipal receipts. He ended by saying: **During the last four years there was an increase in the revenue of $423,458.45, and an increase of $820,000 in the ordinary running expenses, that is, the expenses have in- creased twice as fast as the income. CITY PROPERTY MIGHT BE SOLD. Is there any way by which the city could get enough money to build its own gh A WA \ N umu gn 100 St. Louis and Chicago Conduit. system of conduits?’’ was asked of Nelson Cole, the Chairman of the Council Commit- tee on Ways and Means. It might,’’ said the Oounciliman. It would depend largely on the cost of the con- duits and the city’s other needs, of course. We can’t get any more money by raising the values of taxable property; that is not to be considered, as in that case we would be taxing ourselves for the benefit of the State, andI don’t see how we could get the money out of the ordinary sources of municipal revenue, as that has too many demands on it now. We might get some money by selling the old City Hall, but it is understood that the proceeds from that will go to the new City Hall. The Union Market is to be sold, but itis taken for granted in that case also that a part of the money the city gets is to go to the purchase of some other market place. THE GROWTH IN LICENSE FEES. There are other ways of raising revenue which do not suggest themselves to the financial officers of the city readlly because by neglect more than tbrough vain attempts to employ them they have been decided to be dificult. One of these means is the collee- tion of delinquent taxes. The collections of taxes for 1892 were $3,405,198.46. There was $240,934.65 on the delinquent tax list, and this amount the city will lose. There is about this much lost tothe city every year through tax dodgers. The books of the Col- lector’s office for the last nine years will show that St. Louis has lost over $2,000,000 by unpaid taxes that could have been collected if the collectors had been more intent on in- creasing the revenue of the city than on making political friends for themselves. The taxes of the city have not been closely col- lected for sixteen years, or since the day of Collector M. A. Rosenblatt. Then, too, the Collector could add a quar- ter of a million dollars to the city’s revenue by collecting more closely on the fifty odd occupations that should pay license fees to the city. Collector Ziegenhein collected only $352,000 more on all these licenses in 1892 than Collector Hudson collected in 1884, eight years ago, when the number of people en- gaged in these licensed occupations has in- creased so that the Posr-Disr Aron has been able to show by its calculations the Collector should be able toturn néarly a million dol- lars more into the treasury than was Collect- ed in 1884, Conduits in Different Cities. The conduits laid in St. Louis are shown in one of the cuts. The illustration shows the conduits being placed in a subway as they are laid in Chicago. Theconduitsin this il- lustration are the Dorsett kind. The same conduit is used in New York, Brooklyn, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Detroit, New Haven and Louisville. As will be seen from the illustration, the condult proper is laid in blocks six feet long. One of these blocks is being ilow- ered in the cut. The conduits are made of ax material known as asphalt concrete, the ingredients of which are asphalt, lime and sand. Through each of these blocks run nine holes in rows of three. The wires are carried in three ducts and each one can carry 150 wires. A WASHINGTON CONDUIT. The Lake system of conduits is a very pop- ular one in Washington, where the United States Electric Lighting Co. and the Chesa- eake & Potomac Telephone Co. are using it. t is also used in Chicago, St. Paul, Minne A polls, Cleveland, Louisville, San Francisco ana ilwaukee. This conduit is made of terra cotta and concrete. It is composed of ducts of terracotta set above each other, each set of four ducts being held in concrete. THE NEW YORK CONDUITS. The New York electrical wire conduits are shown in another cut. These conduits are of different kinds in different places, but the New York companies prefer the round pipes, laid in sets of four or eight. Several differ- ent systems are shown in the cut, but all of the conduits carry about the same number of wires, from fifty to one hundred and fifty. All of these conduits are placed near the sur- face of the und, not more than three or f ow it, and about the same dis- tance from the cur 0. many com- —— have to lay conduits in New York that e underground space hasbeen taken up and it is now su ted that the conduits in the future be laid under the sidewalks.

The Franchise Issue Brought Squarely Before the Assembly. WHY HE FAVORS SELLING PRIVILEGES TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. One Purpose Is to Remove the Odor From the House of Delegates—It Would Also Increase Revenues—Mr. Grether on City Ownership of Street Rail- roads. Ina neighboring column will be found a sketch of the enormous stretches of territory covered by the street railroad franchise lately granted by the Municipal Legislature. This publication will go far to confirm the opinion held by very many thoughtful ones, that the street railway people are getting, fas usual, very many immensely valuable privileges at a price generally regarded as absolutely in- adequate. And the thoughtful ones are questioning whether the present mode of disposing of these franchises isthe wisest that might be pursued. A suggestion that these franchises be put up at auction tothe highest bidder has lately been much dis- cussed, and Mr. James P. Egan, member of the House of Delegates, has voiced this idea in the following resolution, which he intro- duced last Tuesday night and which was re- ferred to the special Committee on Rall - roads: Be it resolved, By the House of Delegates, the Council concurring therein, that all railway fran- chises that may be hereafter introduced shall come from the Board of Public Improvements, the route to be laid out by that body, and when passed by the Municipal Assembly they shall cause to be adver- tised in the daily papers doing the city printing, for ten days, a copy of ordinances and offer the same to the highest badder, subject to the approval ef the Mayor, Comptroller, President of the Council, Speaker of the House of Delegates and the Com- mittee on Ways and Means of both branches of the Assembly. : WHAT MR. EGAN MEANS. Mr. Egan gives a Post-DISPATCH repre- sentative the following statement of why he came to introduce this resolution: **Five or six of us in the House of Delegates have been talkingthe thing over fora year or more and lately we concluded that some- thing should be done. My first reason for bringing forward the resolution wasthe be- those seeking franchises than itis now re- celving. My second reason was to remove the suspicion which (whether fairly or not) attaches to the House. of Dele- gates as a body of boodlers whenever ral - road legislation is in hand. My third reason was to remove from the House all occasion for the talk about reorganization, which was lately current when it was hinted that things were not running to please certain interests, with threats of something terrible if Dele- gates did not fall into line. I wanted to re- move a disquieting influenco from the Municipal Assembly so that members could do their duty calmly, and every man could cast his own Vote and not be obliged to wear the collar of some corporation. WHERE THE POWER LIES, It has been suggested that your proposi- tion, being merely a resolution, would be in- operative. You should, it is said, have moved to amend the charter.’’ ‘*There is nothing in that. The charter gives the Municipal Assembly power to dis- pose of these franchises it sees fit and the mode is conformable to the charter. And I know of no more suitable tribunal than the Board of Public Improvements. The work is directly in its line. It is the very body that should pass upon such matters. Parties de- siring franchises should apply to the board and the board would take proper action. Frequently it would be able to make valuable suggestions as to route, etc. Many quite narrow streets are now practically confiscated by railroad compa- nies by having twotracks where one is all that should have been permitted.“ ABOUT COMBINATIONS. It is farther objected thattyour plan would make it possible for those wanting franchises to get together and agree not to bid beyond a certain figure, andthat these figures would quite likely be absurdly low. ‘*Well, my resolution makes the bids sub- ject to the approval of the Mayor, Comp- troller, President of the Council, Speaker of the House of Delegates and the Ways and Means Committees of both branches of the Municipal Assembly, and certainly here is safeguard enough against the city being im- posed upon. But I am sure that low bids will not be the result, and I am confident that the city will derive more, much more, from this way of disposing of the franchises than she now obtains.’’ ö „What do you think of the city reservin the right to buy, when franchises are abou to be voted?’’ IJ haven't studied deeply enough into the subject to come to that conclusion. I think my resolution covers the present emergency. At least, we can make a trial of it. But I will cheerfully support any other plan that seems feasible. I want to do the best I can with the city, and I want to remove from the House of Delegates the accusation of the scandal and suspicion that attaches to the body when railroad legislation is under con- sideration. I want Delegates to be their own masters. Lam tired of hearing talk about the reorganization of the House of Delegates whenever a railroad bill is pending. The political party having a majority of the House ought to control the House, and out- siders should keep hands off. I don’t want to hamper the corporations, but I desire to elevate the character of the House and im- prove the quality of its legislation, If we can dispose of our railroad bills in the way I proposed the House willrise in public esti- mation, and membership therein will held as honorable as it is in the Council.“ THE PROPOSED AUCTION, ‘‘What about Mr. Townmsend’s bill for auctioning the franchises? That has been in the committee fora — while,and a fortnight or so ago I got throug a resolution instructing the Committee to re- port. Asthey did not comply I introduced my resolution.“ Why did the committee hold back that measure?’’ 5 * says, 8 * who want to bid could form a syndicate and by agreement keep the . really satisfactory solution bids down.

I understand that the munic- ipality of Glasgow, Scotland, is operating one or more street railway lines and with splendid success. I see no more objection to the city’s handling the street railway busi- ness, than in furnishing water or maintalia- ing the police. It is right in line with the general government carryin the malls, one of the objects of ment being the promotion general welfare. The city posed tobe runfor the public advantage, and if it can handle street railroads with benefit tothe people, I think it ought to un- dertake the work. Iseeno reason why the city should continue to grant these valuable franchises for little or no consideration to capitalists who proat immensely by them, Tou evidently think there money in street railroads?’ **Ido. Icannot lay my hand readily on the statistics, but I remember looking over a census bulletin lately issued, in which was discussed the cost of operating street rail- ways in ten or twelve cities, and the figures there presented ied to the conclusion that for every 5 cent fare the companies made on an average 1½ cents a passenger. Now, make the computation for St. Louis and see where you land.“ WHAT THE REPORTS SAY. **What are your figures?’’ The annual reports of the street rallway companies for 1892, just filed at the City Hall, show that 91,685,555 passengers were carried during last year. At a profit ofl cents a fare, there would result the enorm- ous sum of $1,374,833, which the street rail- way barons are making outof the people of St. Louis on franchises obligingly voted them by the city legislature. Ofcourse we mustabide by the consequences of the in- considerate legislation of the past until a remedy presents itself, and the remedy I propose is that in future, whenever these syndicates come before the Municipal As- sembly and ask for an enlargement or exten- sion of their franchises, we absolutely refuse any further concessions unless they will ac- cept a provision giving the city a right to buy their works at any time at such reasonable valuation as may be agreedupon by a commission established for that purpose. I think it worth vastly more tothe city to re- serve this right to buy the street railroads than to put up their franchises for what they will bring. LOWER FARES. The estimate just presented is on a 5-cent fare. Ifthereis a profit of 1% cents on every 5 cents, the city,as the owner of these works, couldjsafely reduce the fare to 4 cents, per- haps to 342 cents; or, say seven tickets fora uarter. What slight loss, if any. might at rst result from such a reduction would no doubt be more than offsett by increased travel, for experience has shown that a lowering of the rate induces increased travel—precisely as in the Post- office Department, a reduction in the postage has resulted in increased revenues. So that with reduced fares, people who now econom- ize on a 5-cent rate, would ride a good deal more if the trip cost them but 3 or (cents, The r would be great gainers by the re- ductions, and especially those who have families of children whom they are sending to school, and whose street-car bill is now a serious item of expense. Continuing, Mr. Grether said: ‘‘That there is money inthe business of supplying the people of a great city with such neces- transportation, etc., is ob- vious, from the fact that when the gas ques- tion was so prominently before the com- munity in connection with the tripartite agreement, large sums of money ure believed to have been spent to defeat a meas- ure giving the city a right to buy out existing gas-works, and it is said that as much as $9),000 was placed for that purpose where it would dothe most good, That every. proposition of this kind, looking to municipal ownership of public works,is so flercely fought is proof that there is large money in the business, and the cir- cumstance ought to set people to thinking.’’ AMERICANS AND THEIR CRESTS. Only Twenty-four Recognized as Having Them in Bngland. Special Correspondence SUNVAY Post-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—A new and revised edition has just been published of ‘‘Fair- bairn’s Book of Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland.’’ This is a com- plete and authoritative collection of crests and mottoes not included in Burke's Peer- age and ‘‘Burke’s Landed Gentry.’’ It will be found to possess a peculiar interest for Americans because it contains the names of a number of American families. The number is very small, however, but that fact does not take from the interest. The following is the list of American names printed in the book. It should be an object of genuine curiosity, and speaks for Itself to those persons who are interested in Ameri- can genealogy: William Harman van Allen, Ph. D., No. 435 Fifth avenue, New York. J.

Roome, family of, Newport, Amerfta, Washington, family of, America, Williams, family of, Boston. These families, with one conspicuous ex- ception, are not of the first social eminence. Many of them are recognized here as old families, but several, on the other hand, are not. Some thousands of Americans are using Crests, and in this book only twetity- four are mentioned. It would be interesting to know what rule was followed in the selec- tion of them. Perhaps only those Americans who have paid fees for registering their crests at the Herald’s College are mentioned. Mr. Ward McAllister, commenting on the list, said he had personally nothing to do with the insertion of his name in the list. The McAllister family mentioned was the Scotch one with which he was connected. All of the following families, and possibly many more, he believed,should be included in a list of Americans entitled to wearcrests. The Jays, the Mg ly ono Fishes,the Morrises, the Ogdens, the Barclays, the Livingstons, the De Lanceys, the Crugers, the Van Rens- selaers, the Duers, the Kings, the Hamers- leys, the Leroys, the Langdons, the Stuyve- sants, the Moores, the Pells, the ste- venses, the Floyd-Joneses, the Lawrences, the Griswolds and the Wadsworths of New York ; the Otises and the Sullivans of Boston; the Willings andthe Cadwaladers of Puila- delphia; the Rutledges, the Gibbs, the Gib- bonses, the Heywards, the Allstons, the Pringles and the Middletons of south Caro. lina. He thought it would not be very dim cult to 2 the list ot Americans who had ancestors at least as aristocratic as those mentioned in this egregious British book, But the hard fact remains that only twenty- four American families are recognized in England as entitled to use crests. Tried to Cut His Throat. Joseph Steed, while suffering from delirtum tremens at his boarding house, 2933 Chouteau avenue, attempted to cut his throat with a razor. He was removed to the City Hospital. Brave Men. 3 Persians in general are not supposed to side; STREET CAR LINES. New Franchises Recently Granted by the Municipal Assembly. THREE ADDITIONAL ACROSS-TOWN ROADS IN THE WESTERN SECTION. An Extensive System to the Southwest to Ee Built by the Lindell Company— Routes the Various Lines Will Trav- erse—All Rapid Transit—Unequailed Street Railway Facilities. Recent legislation in the Municipal Assem- bly will tend to greatly improve the present system of street car lines in St. Louis, which are already conceded to be the finest in the world, Several new franchises have been granted and they are almost without excep- tion for roads which will penetrate quarters of the city where they are most needed. At present all street car lines in the city have either cable or electric power, with the ex- ception of four. These are the Union Line, which starts from Fourth and Locust streets and runs to the northwestern section of the city, reaching the Fair Grounds on its north the Northern Central, which starts from the same place and also runs through the northwestern section, reaching the Fair Grounds on the south side; the COass avenue line, which starts from Broadway and Walnut street and traverses the northwestern section of the city, reach- ing the Fair Grounds on the south side, and the Jefferson avenue line, which runs along the street whose name it bears from St. Louls avenue on the north to Geyer avenue on the south. The three former belong to the same syndicate and are now being changed from horse power to electricity. They are also being extended into the out- skirts of the city. JEFFERSON AVENUE BOBTAILS. When the work on them is completed, which wil) be in the spring, the Jefferson avenue line will be the only road in St. Louis which is not equipped with rapid transit. There is now a bill introduced in the Municipal As- sembly to grant it the right to change its power to electricity, but it has been so amended that the owners of the line are in doubt about accepting it. The Assembly has insisted on transfers being granted by it and intersecting east and west lines, so that a ride over two roads can be obtained for 5 cents. Furthermore the road is required to carry passengers tothe Fair Grounds over its own tracks to or by transfers over another company’s and also by transfers or over its tracks to take them to Meramec street on the south for one fare of 5 cents. Should the company accept the ordinance and change its power to electri- city there will not bea horse car line left in the city, and as other rapid transit cross town lines have Deen granted franchises and all make long runs and some issue transfers, the Jefferson avenue line will probably be obliged to consent to the dmendments in order to do any business. Only three roads in the city are cable lines, the remainder all using electricity. The cables are the Missouri or Olive street road, St. Louis or Broadway line and the Citizens’ or Franklin avenue line. The new franchises granted by the Assembly are, without excep- tion, for electric lines. About the only weak point of the present system of street railroads nere is the lack 6f north and south,or across town lines as they are termed, At the present time, with the exception of the down town lines, there isnocross town road but the Jefferson avenue, which runs miserable little bob-tail cars drawn by mules not much bigger than jack rabbits, and the Vandeventer avenue line. NEW ACROSS TOWN LINES. The franchises just granted will give three entirely new across town roads and also ex- tend the Vandeventer avenue line over Law- rence street, a practical continuation of Van- deventer avenue, south to Tower Grove Park, so that one can ride from that resort tothe Fair Grounds over the road without change. Then there will be the Scullin Eighteenth street line, which willrun from Lafayette avenue onthesouth to Madison street on the north, inan almost direct line, and then continue northwesterly to Hebert street and Prairie avenue. On the south it will connect with the Scullin lines running down Second Carondelet avenue (Eighteenth street), Mississippi! avenue (Twentieth street), Jefferson avenue and California ave- nue (Twenty-eighth street); and as transfers will be given it will afford quite a long across town road. There will also be the Grand avenue line which,is to run from near the junction of Grand avenue and Broadway inthe extreme north end to far down into Carondelet. The remaining across town line is in the far West End. It is the Taylor avenue railway, to run from the Missouri Pacific tracks on the south to Calvary and Bellefontaine cemeteries on the north. These roads, when built, will give abundant across town street car facill- ties. The remaining franchises which have been granted are for pg the down town terminals of two lines and for lines for Sculiin and Capen in the southern and south- western portions of the city, All of Scullin’s franchises are for extensions and changes, but Capen has secured one franchise for an entirely new road to the southwestern sec- tion by way of the new Union Depot and across the Eighteenth street bridge. A GIGANTIC SCHEME... This road is to be known as the Compton Heights, Uuion Depot 4 Merchants’ Terminal Railroad Co., and it has already obtained a franchise to build and operate a double-track railroad from the intersection and Gratiot streets and on them to and Mississippi avenue, and south on the latter to Park avenue, thence westwardly to Lawrence street, four blocks west of Grand avenue, on Lawrence street south- from the Fair along Vandeventer avenue a |. en ae ** * ey mee . . 5 5 11 : — l — yas Railway ‘‘at or near the 11 right of = 8 SCULLIN’S EXTENSION The Union Depot Railroad ot right to change and to make ce 0 Bellefontaine lines. enue line of the extended down into being 93 9 From its present terminus on M street, south on Virginia avenue, <0 eames ton avenue; south on Compton aven 2 Wilmington road, thence south on avenue, single track, to Primm — track on * street east to Mich- venue, north on latter, single — Umington road, and v avenue again. ia latter to SCULLIN’S EIGHTEENTH STREET LINE. Mr. Scullin also has a franchise for an Eighteenth street line. The track is to run from its present line on Lafayette avenue no ardly along Grattan, or sixteenth street, to Chouteau avenue, thence west- wardly to Seventeenth street and north- wardly to Papin, west to Eighteenth street and northwardly over the tracks of the Lin- dell Railway or Compton Heights company to Washington venue, street, continuing north on Eig teenth here Fallon thence north to Madi- street; t n from to west to Hogan street, son street, thence west to Twenty-ffrth street, thence north to Hehert street, thence ve 7 — — avenue. r. Scullin’s present Union Depot lineg will also be connected with this fend dy a double track out Clark avenue from their — en Twelfth street to Eighteenth street. Another clause in the Scullin bill gives the company the right to run a single track south on Mississippi avenue from Geyer to Gravois avenue and another single track south from Sidney street along Second Ca- rondelet avenue to Crittenden, thence west to Lempavenue, south to Cherokee street and west to Gravois avenue and along the latter to west of Grand avenue. Also a single track from Sidney street south over Cambria street to Lynch, west to Lemp avenue, south to Orittenden tothe double track on the last named street. com- pany has the further privilege of using only one instead of two tracks on Mississippi, de- tween Lafayette and Geyer avenues, and extending a single track along Geyer avenue to Second Carondelet avenue and using a single track on the latter north to Mississippi avenue. The bill provides for a 5-cent fare, with transfer, without extra charge, at Eigh- teenth and Olark avenue and at Colifornia and Cherokee streets. THE GRAND AVENUE MEASURE. A franchise has been granted the Grand Avenue Rallway Co. to construct and operate a double-track passenger railway from Grand avenue at or near its intersection with Blair avenue in North St. Louis southwa to Meramec street in South St. Louis, on over existing tracks. At Meramec street the line runs east to Virginia avenue; thence south to Courtois street, Carondelet; thense la a southerly direction, with single track, on Virginia avenue to Primm street; thence northwest, single track to Ivory avenue; thence on Ivory avenue northea sterniy, single track, to connect with the dou track of the company on Virginia avenue, FOURTH STREET & ARSENAL. The Council passed and sent to the House of Delegates esday night an ordinance authorizing the Fourth Street & Arsenal Rall- way Co. to extend its line, single track, from Fourth and Morgan streets northwardly to the south line of Carr street, and to connect with the tracks of the m & Union Depot and Merchants’ Rallway Co. = The company ts also authorized to operate its road by electric power. a Fare on this line is 5 cents, ticket at Chouteau avenue and Fourth from this line westward to the People’s Rallway line, and from the latter south on Arsenal line. Children’s tickets shall be by conductors, two for 5 cents. LACLEDE AVENUE DOWN TOWN TRACKS. The Forest Park, Laclede avenue and Fourth street railroad, a part of the Mis- sourl system, has nding, authorizing it to run a Market street north on Eighteenth to Pine street and east on Pine to Twelfth street using the Union Depot line’s track down Pine from there to Fourth street, there con- necting with the People’s road and north to Olive street, west over the M tracks to Twelfth street, south on the Mound City track to Pine and then on Pine and Eighteenth streets to Market and west on another track to be laid to entieth street, where the present track be used to Forest Park. HEAT IN MOONLIGHT, It Is Equal to the Heat of a Candle Thirty-one Feet Away. Written for the SUNDAY POsT-DISPATCH,. A problem of considerable fmportance or physical and astronomical science, upon which Tyndall, Lord Rosse and Langley have vainly spent years of study, seems at last to have been solved by C. V. Boys, an English professor of South Kensington, who has been able to determine the warmth emittea by the rays of the moon, Boys used for his apparatus fibers of quent with which he produced a thermo-multiplier of incredible sensibility. With this instrus ment he is able to determine the emitted by acandle light at a distance one and three-fourths miles. 2 the small disk of his apparatus to rays the moon, he has demonstrated. that the warmth registered on this receptacle is eq to that ofa candle-light at a thirty-one feet.

PLAYS TO BE PRESENTED AT THE . VARIOUS THEATEPS Revival of Sardou’s “Diplomacy” at the Olympic With Rose and Charles Coghian in the Cast—Frank Daniels at the Grand—The ‘“‘Two Sisters“ at the Hagan—Coulisse Chat. **Diplomacy.’’ the brilliant play in which Rose and ‘ harles Coghlan and their coterie of artists scored such a success in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and throughout the East, and in which they open at the Olympic Theater to-morrow night, is esteemed the strongest drama ever penned by that master of stagecraft, Victorien Sardou. Its success in the early part of this season at the Star Theater was merely a repetition of its greater Parisian success at the Comedie Francaise, where it was produced May 2, 1877, under the title of Dora, running 188 nights. Revived again in 1878, it enjoyeda run of 116 consecutive performances. „ Diplomacy was brought out at the Prince of Wales Theater, London, in the fail of 1877 under the title by which it is now known, with the names of Seville Rowe and Bolton Rowe as adapters. Subsequently these names turned out to be noms de plume for Clement Scott, the pre- mier of London dramatic critics, and B. C. Stephenson. In this London pro- auction, which ran for the entire season, Mr. Bancroft was the Henry Beauclerc, Mr. Kendall the Julian Beauclerc, Mrs. Bancroft Countess Zieka and Mrs. Kendall Dora. The Coghlans produce ‘‘Diplomacy’’ witha cast in nowhit inferior to any ever seen in this play. Rose Coghlan's abilities will be seen as Countess Zieka. When Miss Coghian wag the leading lady of Wallack's The- ater her popularity was heightened by her performance of the same role which she will enact to-morrow night. As the ad- venturess, Miss Coghlan won one of her greatest triumphs. Charlies Coghlan will assume the role of Henry Beauclerc, and his assumption of the role of the man of the world willbe, no doubt, an artistic treat. Sadie Martinot will play the ingenue role of Dora; her work in this character has been highly spoken ot in Eastern cities. John T. Sullivan will be seen as Capt. Julian Beau- clerc. Indene De Belleville as Count Orloff; Robert Fischer, Baron Steen; Mme. Von Trautman, the Varquise de Rio Zares; Mabel Eaton, Lady Henry Fairfax and Gertrude Coghlan, the only chiid of Mr. Charles ogh- jan, who recently made her debut on the stage, and who has shown that her school- ing has been good, will have the small and unpretentious. character of Mion, the maid to the Marquise. DR. CUPID’’ AT THE GRAND. Frank Daniels, in his new whimsical comedy conceit, Dr. Cupid, ' surrounded by a coterle of comedy players to the number of twenty, wil begin a week’s engagement at the Grand Opera-house to-night. The plot of Dr. Cupid’’ has the merit of originality, the foundation of which hinges on the trans- fusion of blood. The story is unique: ‘The- ophile Mudge, proprietor of Mudge’s Hotel (Mr. Daniels), a gentleman of irreproacha- bly correct habits and peaceful disposition, has a wen on his neck. Dr. Cupid removes it—and to make this (his first case, by the way) thoroughly successful, the operation known as sein-gratting is em- ployed. It is a pronounced success surgically, but produces a metamorphosis most astound- ink. Whiskers grow out of tne spot of new skin, and where before Mudge had beena temperance man of the strictest sort, he now determines to introduce a first-class bar in his hotel. He had before loved peace, now employs a teacher of »box- lays out everybody he runs across. The change is so unexpected that his best friends do not know him. lo im- prove the patronage of his hostelry he be- comes a secret society maniac and joins every order he can get into. Daniels is said to be inimitable in this new character crea- tion and Dr. Cupid’’ is destined to become as popular as any of the comedian’s former successes. Prominent in the Cupid’’ are the names of Canfield, Gus Pixley, Harry Carson Clarke, Robert Evans, Richard Baker, Thomas Nelson, and C. E. Crapewin. Miss Bessie Sanson still heads the bevy of pretty girls, among which are noticei the names of Miss Harriet Waters, Miss Annetta Zelna, Miss Minnie Miller, Miss Ella Wilson, Miss Camille D’Elmarand those clever girls, the dancing Daly sisters. THE ‘*TWO SISTERS’’ AT THE HAGAN. he Two Sisters, the popular play by the authors of The Old Homestead,’’ will be the attraction at the Hagan to-night.

Bouellti, John Barker, May Merrick, Ethel Barrington, George W. Ryer, Eddie Fox, Raymond Shaw andothers. Tus play has ined great popularity, and h attracted arge audiences all over the country. CORBETT AT POPE’S. „Gentleman Jack, the play in which Champion James J. Corbett is the star, will be the attraction at Pope’s Theater this week, beginning with the matinee to day. The story of the play is an interesting one, and the third and tourth acts give admirable opportunity to display Corbett at his best. In the third act he is shown in his training quarters, in which he punches the bag with almost marvelous dexterity. In the fourth act he appearsin the prize ring, and com- etes for honors with Prof. Donaldson. All these incidents are introduced in a natural manner, and have to do with the unraveling of the story ofthe play, Hets supported by a carefully selected company. In the Madi. gon Square roof garden scene many attract- ive specialties are introduced, including the rformances of Dägmar and Decelle, two Danish warblers. **aFTER DARK AT HAVLIN’S.

St. Louis sing- ing societies have never yet produced any of Bach’s masterpieces, and this cantata makes a most excellent beginning. - — THOSE CALIC) ‘“PANTS,”’ They Played an Important Part in Sol Smith Russell’s Career. My earliest idea of low comedy I gained from Allie Sharpe, the low comedian of the Defiance Theater at Cairo, III., when the Union soldiers occupied that town and sup- ported the theater, writes Sol Smith Russell in the Chicago Pot. A. M. Sharpe (he was so called on the bills) was to me exceedingly comical as John Small in The Two Buz- zards,’’ Trotter Southdown in ‘‘To Oblige Benson’’ and Box in Box and Cox. Ue was a great favorite with hisau‘diences. I recall him now as a stout little man with a bullet bead and the funniest of scratch wigs, and he wassaid to be the greatest actor of Morton farces except William Warren. Aside from admiration for Allie Sharpe he won my affection through his kindness in presenting me with an eccentric calico coat, padded and full of comedy. I wore it often, in servants, in comedy bits of all kinds, even in Shakspeare, for when 1 entered in ‘*Othello’’ and announced a letter from I-ago (with accent on the 1, of course), a cruel man in the pit exclaimed: ‘‘Ah! ihe calico coat again.’’ It was the tradition among low comedians of that day that an eccentric suit, usually of calico or some other figured goods, formed a tundamental part ofthe comedy wardrobe. My salary was $6 a week, and it took the savings of a number of weeks to buy an eccentric suit, and with an economical eye I selected sufficient calico of differ- ent rrints to make me two eccentric suits in one ‘fferent patterns on the inside and out Sana its remarkable suit or suits served me well. Itis not necessary tosay that hence- forth comedy was my element. I studiously sought for advancement with Allie Sharpe as my model. Lafterwards saw Will Wiggins |} and Bill Smith and Bud Marble, but they, did not destroy my ideal. After serving my apprenticeship in West- ern and Southern theaters until the close of the war, when actors were less in demand, I went East to seek for development and, | perchance, to show the people what comedy meant on the Allie Sharpe plan. My am- bition was radjcally changed by a visit to Baltimore. Thére Isaw comedy performed by Joseph Jefferson and an opportunity was afforded of watching him ina number of parts. He had no scratch wigs, no eccentric suits anu no wobbly legs like Sharpe, and he seemed more intellectual. Still, in spite of the defects, 1 was not slow in sur- rendering my primitive ideas and recognizing in Rip, !’angloss, Ollipod and other perfected performances something more digniged and higher toattain. Isaw John Owens, too, and thought him most ex- cellent in a way differing from Western models. But on reaching Boston I found there the rival of my early comedian in dear old William Warren, and my! how he im- pressed me and how I loved him. In him was blended all the good I had recognized in comedy, for he, too, wore eccentric suits of such patterns as I had vainly sought to dupli- cate for years. One pair of pants--they were checked, or striped in red and blue—wefe so neatly comical that I felt all my hopes might be realized in a similar pair. 1 failed to find them, but I never forgot the pattern. A few years ago Billy Florence and myself were invited to Buzzard’s Bay, the home of Joseph Jefferson. We had many fishing times together. I reveled between bites Inthe reminiscent talk of the two old actors Mr. Jefferson had inherited War- ren’s wardrobe and other effects. In the em- ploy of the great comedian as boatman, gar- dener. but chiefly as a supplier of bait for our fishing trips, was Brown. I know no other name for him. I am not sureif he did; He was confirmed under the name of Brown. One rosy morning we all repaired to the minnow pool to ascertain whether Brown had the bait ready. And now comes an instance of the strength of early impressions, how they hold on and with what starling ef- fect return tous in afterlife. For I beheld upon Brown, who was irreverently wiping his hands upon them, those wonderful farce pants worn by Warren in dy New Wife and Old Umbrella.’’ My early ambition for eccentric suits had left me, but my admira- tion for those pants will remain while memory holds the seat. ALEXANDER MU Ro, Interesting Anecdote cf a Man Who Worked Himself to Death. Josephine Butler (Arrowsmith), in her ‘*Recoliections of George Butler,’’ relates the following anecdote of Alexander Munro, the sculptor: Brought up among Scotch moors, and of humble but gifted parentage, he had much of the sweet character ofa child combined with true artistic genius, great quickness of intel- lect and a rare enthusiasm for all that was good and noble. The task was committed to him of designing for the Museum a numberof statues, representing various scientific men of pasttimes. Munro worked in our house, not infrequently on the clay models of por- trait busts he was engaged with. He showed eventhen a tendency. to the consumption which carried him off so early in life. He was warned by his doctor against his habit of working at night. He did not sufficiently re- gard the warning, and his delicate look made our hearts ache. We removed his lamp and all means of obtaining a ligut at night, in order to oblige him to retire to rest. One morning, however, after this severe measure had been enforced, he showed us at break fastalovely diminutive piece of sculpture representing a little girl carrying a bundle of sticks, her dress blown by the wind, anda little dog at ner feet; the whole carved out ofa piece of slate- pencil. But how did he obtain a light? we asked. He answered meekly, but with a mischievous smile, I went out and bought a farthing dip and, when I found Icouldn’t sieep, I lit it and made this thing.

Penalty fcr His Assault on an Old Man —The Diet He Is Restricted to Not the Least of His Trials—Hig Unsuccessful Attempt to Ge Good Fare and Its Re- ‘sult—His Plans After Leaving rison Next Month. Special Correspondence SUNDAY PoOsT-DISPATCH. LONDON. Jan. 14.—Charley Mitchell is find- ing out how exceedingly hard the way of the transgressor is. In Pentonville Prison he has lost nearly all that airy insolence for which he has always been notorious. Mitchell was convicted some three months ago, it will be remembered, of committing an un- provoked assauitupon an old man. When Mitchell was called beforea magistrate and offered no evidence of his own defense he was promptly committed to prison for two months at ‘‘hard labor.’’ Nearly everybody was jubilant, for Mitchell is not a favorite here. Therefore everybody laughed when Mitchell swore that he would appeal the case. Then everybody laughed again when it was discoveredthat the appeal would come before Lord Peter Edlin, a terror toall evil-doers, but particularly to gentlemen who do business in the pugilistic line. Mitchell was in prison for four days before the papers connected with his appeal were acted upon. Then, as he had obtained the right to make the appeal, he was liberated. His friends hardly knew him. Why, how thin you look,’’ said one. Where did you get all the perspiration?’’ inquired Pony Moore, the pugilist’s father-in-law. The perspiration was pouring off Mitchell. Mitchell simply looked disgusted and said he would be ready as soon as possible. In a short time he appeared in his own clothes and was driven toward home. He asked on on the wayif dinner would be ready when they got there. The others laughed. One of them said, Well, there's nothing the matter with your appetite, anyway. Mitchell said he hadn't eaten anything for four days. Dinner was ready. Mitchell had little to say for fifteen minutes or more. He ate and drank like a man who was hungry and thirsty. Then he said he wanted a bath. de would say nothing until he had had a bath. In Pentonville Prison baths cannot be had for love nor money oftener than oncea week. Mitchell had his bath, but even afterwards was not very communicative. He insisted that his appeal should be fought, and he in sisted so earnestly that Pony Moore and other friends of the heavyweight sawthat he had an unsurmountable objection to return to Pentonville Prison. Why? There was a treadmill in it. It appears ridiculous that at this late day most of the large prisonsin England should be furnished with treadmills. However, treadimilis are not utterly useless now, as was the case in olden times. Then the men who trod the mill and made it revolve made itdo nothing else, It was simply a master of fiesh and qa maker of muscle. The treadmill at Pentol ville Prison does better than this. It furnishes power forthe pumping appara- tus of the prison and for other machinery. A treadmill is shaped exactly like the wheel of astern-wheel steamer, or one wheel ofa side-wheeler, except that the treadmill is wider than the latter. At a height which a man of medium height with arms extended can wrasp is a wooden bar. The prisoner whois condemned to the treadmill jumps on one of the ‘‘floats’’ and grasps the wooden bar with his hands. His weight turns the mill, and when one float is getting beyond touching distance with the foot another float comes around, Itislike climbing a flight of steps that have no beginning and no end. If vou miss a step you get a whack on the shin that either bruises the flesh or takes the skin off. It is probably the most dlsneartening work in the world, for at the end ofa day there is nothing to show. In comparison with it picking oakum is a heavenly job. Prisoners who are sentenced to hard labor are compelled to do treadmill duty for four hours per day, two hours before dinner and twoafter. There is only one way of prevent- ing your shins being barked if you miss a step, and that is by Jumping off. Mitchell was put on the treadmill as soon as he en- tered Pentonville. All his own clothes were taken from him, with the exception of a silk undershirt, which he managed to secrete. In such matters he has always been very care- ful, anda glance at the prison clothes made his flesh creep. ‘ihere was nothing todo, however, except to put the clothes on. Still he had the silk undershirt, and that was a comfort. He Mas led to the treadmill and ordered to climb up.’’ He was about to remonstrate when he was informed that prisoners were hot allowed tospeak, and that it he refused to obey orders bread and water would be his diet at the Governor’s pleas- ure.“ Mitchell stepped upon the treadmill nim- bly enough, and grasped the wooden bar above his head. The bar runs parallel with the floats or steps, andisina straight line with the step on which the prisoner should havea foot planted firmly, if attending to business. It seemed easy enough, Why, it’so ly walking,’’ sald Mitchelltoa fellow-pedestrian. Ihe fellow-pedestrian said nothing; buta warden called out, ‘‘no talking there. Finding that he could not talk, the work grew too monotonous for Mitchell. In ten minutes he ought to have covered a mile, in nis opinion; yet there he was in the seltsame spot from where he started. The thought Degan to bother him. Finally he fell to thinking of other matters, and missed a step. He gota smack on the shin that brought a foul- mouthed oath to the surface, He was in- formed that if anything more was heard from him he would do the ‘‘breadand wa- ter act. By this time Mitchell was bathed in perspiration. His habit was very full on entering the prison, and the exercise was so unusual and embarrassing and disquieting that he felt as if he were gradually dissolv- i ng. Suddenty he jumped off the mill. He had decided that he could stand it nolonger. A warden was at his elbow in a moment. Mitchell declared that there was *‘something wrong with his heart,.“ and that he ‘‘felt weak enough to faint. He was at once taken before the prison. doctor. The latter got his stethoscope and examined his patient carefully. Then he prodded and thumped him in the usual way. Mitchell stood it all like a lamb, and during the Operation looked paler perhaps than he had ever done in his life. Finally the doctor sald: „Return to work, NO. 12; you are the strongest man in the prison. Mitchell began to remonstrate, but was in- formed at once that if he did not keep silent he would get a taste of a dark cell. hen the food. By no stretch of the imagi- nation can it be accurately described as nour- ishing. On week days the prisoners get sky for breakfast. and a pretty thin breakfast it makes. For Ginner they get a bowl of broth and piece Of bread, and for the evening meal bread and milk, the latter gen- erally a lignt shade of blue. This sort of diet was trying to a man who has been living as well as Mitchell has for years, To do without his morning bath isto him a hardship, and often he has taken two baths a day. All this should explain Why he was so anx- ious that his case should be appeaied. stil the case was not a „for upon looking into matters, Mi discovered that the whom oe pended did not to the box.

The full length of a mounted. skeleton from the forepart of the head to the end of the tall was 18 feet, of which the tall occupies 5 feet. The head, which is small for the size of the anit- mal, bears a resemblance to that ofa sioth. An idea at one cime prevailed that the mega- therium was covered externally with a coat of bony armor like that of the armadillas, but this originated in dermal plates belonging to the glyptodon, a totally distinct animal. It is generally believed that the megatherium had a covering of coarse hair like that of its nearest living allies, the slotus and ant- eaters. STAGE ILLUSIONS. Exquisite Effects Produced in a Parisian Theater. Written for the SUNDAY PosT-DISPATCH. Some years ago two mysterious stage tricks engaged the attention of the public, who never solved the riddle, and as they are being revived in Paris in a play called ‘*Peau d’Ane’’ („The Donkey’s Skin’’), Whien was was also quite popular once upon a time and has come to life again, it may not be uninter- esting to describe the ingenious arrangement by which they have so far escaped detection, and left the illusion complete.

N. a For a long time, the engineers in the Sower Department of the city, watching the growth of the suburbs, have been talking with each other of the necessity of another great sewer like that one laid in the Mill Creek: valley, to provide for the needgof the population liv- ing west of Grand avenue. They are now nearly 100,000 people, and in ten years more, or even by the next census, it is estimated that they will number fully one-third of the three-quarters of a million people St. Louis will probably have then. Engineers are proverbially conservative, and although Sewer Commissioner R. E. Me- Math had the idea of this great sewer in his mind two years ago, when he was in office, and even made some sketchy plans of it at one time, the project was never pushed to the attention of the Municipal Assem- bly or financial officers of the city. Always, just about the time when it seemed to the Sewer Department that the opportunity was ripefor the advancement ofthe plan some othercity necessity that absorbed all the surplus revenue in the treas- ury seemed to get ahead of it. Now, when the financial strain caused by the building of the new City Hall seems to be a little relleved, the sewer engineers are bringing their plans forward again with the object of preparing things forthe beginning of appropriations by the next Assembly. This time, the first step was taken by laying all the plans for the great conduit before City Counselor William C. Marshall, so that the legal department could be enlisted on the side of the improvement at the very be- ginning. | THE COUNTY BENEFITED. „As the plan has been described to me., said the City Counselor yesterday, ‘‘the idea is simply to turn the Des Peres River into a great sewer running from the Mississippi River in Carondelet, where the little stream empties, along the border of the city. through Forest Park, out of that near its northwestern corner and across the city limits into the county. I understand that the cost of the whole thing will be probably about $1,500,000, and I am very heartily in sympathy with the plan, after I have examined into thejmecessity for this sewer. Ithink that it should be the next great public improvement the city should carry out, and it ought to be begun as soon as the City Hall is finished. My work on the matter has been principally on the question of taking in the county in the system. Many St. Louis people, you know, live in the county, and there will be more of them every year. Of course you can’t divide a system of sewerage intended for the health of the whole people by the imaginary line of the city limits. Sanitary Feasons demand that when a sewer is carried up tothe city limits it should not stop there when the other side of the line is just as thickly populated as this side. Nor would it be just to extend the sewer system over the line and furnish the people who have gone out there to get away from city taxes the benefit of a sewer system for which the people of the city pay. The only way in which we can arrange that satisfactorily is to get the State Legislature to make a law that wili divide the county up into sewer districts and provide for the assessment of the property owners who receive the sewer profits. It seems to me, the City Counselor con- tinued, that the necessity of the system is obvious. Take this map. COURSE OF THE DES PERES SEWER. The City Counselor went toa map hanging on the wall, and with pencil traced the Des Peres River. „t is a natural sewer for the whole west ern part of the city,’’ sald ne. It starts out in the county and runs through the most thickly populated part of the suourbs into Forest Fark. The distance to which the sewer should be extended into the county is a matter to be decided afterwards. Leaving the park you see the river follows the north ern boundary of the city around, running through a part where the sewer facilities are not ample. The new sewer would carry off the sewage of the ater part of the western suburbs, a partofthe city getting bigger and bigger every year.“ PROVIDING FOR THE FUTURE. Assistant . Sewer Commissioner William Wise, who has been with the Sewer Depart- ment ever since the project of the Des Peres sewer was first broached, and is in fact the chief engineer of the department, sald yes- terday that the Des Peres Sewer would take care of the future growth of the city for an- other generation. The department had made no detailed drawings of the proposed and no careful estimates of the cost, which would of course depend on the length of toe sewer after it lett Forest Park on the northwest. The Assistant Commissioner’s idea is not to turn the bed of the Des Peres mto a sewer, but to make the conduit follow along the course of the stream, Intercepting all the sewage that is now poured Into it from the suburbs. The Pine street sewer is now the only one that carting off the sewa of the suburbs, and while itis sone made to serve the purpose for the present, it is by no means the system that will take care of the city’s growth, as the proposed Des Peres sewer wou d do.

FARMERS CALLED UPON TO GIVE GRAIN FREE FOR A WORLD'S FAIR DISPLAY. The Value of the Bxhibit After the Ex- | position Closes Will Be Enormous— State Officials, However, Generally Indorse the Scheme and Urge the Farmers to Give. Des Morngs, Io., Jan. 28.—The most gigan- tic scheme which has ever been formulated in this State is now under way. Four gentle - men are going to make an independent fortune this year. The plan they have outlined is so stupen- dous that at first reading one is hardly able to grasp all the possibilities of the scheme. The gentiemen have secured the indorse- ment of the State Executive Council and the Iowa Worild’s Fair Commissioners. Every- thing potnts to the success of their move- ment, and when they complete it they will dave grain enough to corner the market at the World’s Fair city and then scatter it broadcast in quantities almost sufficient to relieve the suffering ot the poor of the coun- try. The gentlemen who are at the head of the movement—Messrs. Young, Denny, Cook and Jackson, all of lowa—propose to make an exhibit of grain at the World’s Fair. The Executive Council of the State has furnished them the plans of the magnificent Iowa Cap- itol building, and they will have it repro- ducedin glass, following the original pro- portions, and showing porticoes, ‘columns, domes and other architectural effects. When the building is completed it will occupy a prominent place on the grounds at Jackson Park, and will be filled with grain gathered fromevery nook and corner of the State. Every farmer in Iowa will be asked to con- tribute a bushel of wheat, a bushel of rye, a bushel of corn, and a bus of whatever else he happensto be raising on his land. When it is taken into consideration that Iowa farms produce more corn than any other State inthe Union, stand firstin the quan- tity and value of oats, and high on the list in other cereals according! to recent statistics issued by the Department of Agriculture, it will be seen atonce thatthe gentlemen get- ting — the exhibit willhave thousands of bushels of grain stored away in their ele- vators that they will be unadle to get into their little glass houses. It will be a herculean task to gather up the grain, but the gentlemen Will be well re- — for their trouble. For the next sixty ays the work of collecting will be pushed in order thatit may be completed before the spring thaws begin. It is the intention to place at least one solicitor in each township, and as far as possible to select them from resident farmers, thus giving to contributors the guarantee of personal — gy. — and affording at least one patriotic farmer in each township an rr to participate in the preparation of what will be designated the most novel exhibit on the grounds, The cordialand happy indorsement which the scheme is receiving from State officials Is disapproved by many, who believe it would be far better for the Stateto have made an appropriation for the purpose and then bought what choice grain will be needed to fill the little’ glass house, if an exhibit of this kind was wanted. John R. Shaffer, Secretary of the State Agricultural Society, has said: ‘*Every farmer who may be called upon to donate grain for the exhibit should not fail to do so, not only willingly, but cheer- fully. It is a small matter in- dividually for each farmer, for the amount asked for from any one is little, but in the aggregate it will make the grandest display that was ever seen in this or any foreign country.’’ Secretary of State McFarland advisesthe farmersto do ali in their power to make Iowa’s exhibit a grand one. This, of course, means that they should ive liberally. State Treasurer B. A. Beeson ndorsed the movement, while C. G. Me- Carthy, the newly elected Auditor of State, in the course of a touching appeal to the farmers of Iowa for grain, says the whole glory ofthe banner State of the Union now rests with the farmers. If the scheme is carried through, as it un- doubtedly will be, the agriculturists of the State are going to contribute a great deal more grain than they sent to famine-stricken Russia for a cause and result that will hardly prove as beneficial to humanity. MAKING DYNAMITE One of the Occupatious of Women in a Switzerland Town. Written for the SUONDAY Pos?-DISPATCH. Dynamite, aside from being a dread in- strument in the hands of revolutionary poli- ticlans, is almost a necessary factor in the gigantic mining and engineering entergrises of the present day. The manufacture of the compound for beneficial use is carried on largely in several parts of Europe, Twenty- five million dynamite cartridges are pro- duced annually by three establishments in France. The pioneer dynamite works were started at Isleten in Switzerland some twenty years ago at the instance of M. Louis Farre, the chief engineer of the St. Gothard tunnel. He saw the necessity for providing a powerful instrument that dough for bread or pastry, with bare hands and arms work it up in a mass of some fari- naceous meal, with the addition of fine silicious sand. The liquid is readily absorbed by the granular solid, which being dried by the air at a moderately equable temperature becomes perfect dynamite powder. Dynamite, as most persons are now aware, isa powder which can be made into cakes, or may be converted intoasticky paste called **explosive gum,’’ or be enveloped in cases of paper or pasteboard or metal to form cart- ridges. This powder, containinga certain desiccatéa mixture of three liquid ingre- dients, nitric acid, sulphuric acid and gly- cerine, with silicious granular substance, is dn explosive much stronger than gunpow- der, but looks rather innocent, being of a light brownish yellow color, not unlik pale cocoa. The ‘‘explosive gum’’ is a sort of paste composed of pure nitro-glyceripne and gun- cotton, more highly charged with nitrate. In dealing with the former, as shown in the first illustration, three women are seated at a table, upon which is the apparatus, made of z Molding the Cartridges. an ease and saving of labor that could not have been imagined in ages.

Helena. Special Correspondence SUNDAY :Post-DisPaTCH. Sr. HELENA, Jan. 8.—Napoleon Bonaparte has three successors on this little island. It is regarded by Great Britain, and very naturally, as a guttable place for the dispos!- tion of inconvenient potentates. The English take credit to themselves for Kindness in sending illustrious prisoners to 80 salubrious a place as St. Helena. But Na- poleon dia not see much kindness In their treatment of him, and was, in fact, perverse enough to die of it. Curiously enough, Prince Dinizuler and the two brothers of Cetewayo, at present political prisoners on the island. do notexhibit any more cheerfulness than didthe great Emperor of the French in the same Circumstances. This may appear un- reasonable to those who regard a change from a savage country to a half civilized British colony as no hardship, but those who know the thrilling history of the royal house of Zululand, or have even gained some idea of the distractions of Zulu life from Mr. Rider Haggard’s works, should admit that the situation of the unhappy Africans is al- — as deplorable as was that of the Corsi- an. The Zulu exiles are under the charge of a Mr. Henderson. The Prince, with two mi¢- tresses, the chiefs and some eight other Zulus, tive at Rosemary Hall, a roomy, damp old building, as cold and damp as any En- glish — house that ever sowed the seeds of rheumatism. It is a poor substitute to them for the royal Kraal in South Africa. When the steamer leaves for the Cape they all come out, point homewards and iook sor- 94 — at one another. Then they hug themselves in their tiger skins and retire to their stuffy but always clean dens. Zulus are remarkable among savages for their cleanli- ness. These, by the way, have taken to wearing boiled shirts, white hats and boots. Probably they will never see their heloved country again. The climate of St. Helena, while beneficial to some invalids from north- ern countries, is disagreeable in the extreme to those born to the hot, dry climate of South Africa. It is a common thing to have fonr months of daily rain, during which boots and clothes in country houses become green with mildew. The summer, which is the de- sirable part ofthe year, begins in November and lasts till the first week in May. The temperature varies according to the locality. On the eastern side, where houses have been built on the hills at a height of 2,000 feet, the temperature is sometimes as iow as 62 deg. at midday in winter; while in summer the temperature in the hottest places rises as high as 120 deg. The combination of cola and dampin winter makes it hard to believe that you are within 1,600 miles of the equator. The temperature at the castle varies but 12 deg. during the whole year, the extremes ey 82 deg. and 72 deg. For the benefit of Americans who do not re- member the disgraceful Zulu episode in Brit- ish history it should be saidthat Dinizuler 1s the son and figntful heir to Cetewayo, who was the ruler of the finest race in Africa. To prevent a war between Boers and Zulus the English annexed the Transvaal, got into a war with the Zulus and ruined the race. In consequence of a later attempt at insurrec- tion against the British Dinizvler, whose father was then dead, and his relatives were banished. TO DEEPEN THE HARBOR. Great Jetties at the Mouth of the Brezos River. GALVESTON, Tex., Jan. 28.—On the gulf coast of Texas, atthe mouth of the Brazos River; two massive jetties are in course of erection, Their object is to scour out the harbor and maintam, a depth of twenty feet over the bar. The work room, now almost finished, has been carried on by a private corporation and represents an out- lay of $850,000. The jetties are 5.400 feet in length and 560 feet apart. They start from the shore line and extend out toand end upon the outer slope or over the bar. The mode of construction is as follows: Wharves are’first built at the shore end of the jetties. Brush mat- tresses are then placed between the piles of these wharves and loaded with stone so as to form substantial headings from which to bulld the jetties seaward. Ihe mattress work is constructed froma trestie of four rows of piling,for each jetty. The mattress strips are made continuous by splicing, and the lower mattresses are sup- ported by timbers suspended from the trestles. Brush is first piled crosswise, then lengthwise, and then erosswise again, suffi- client that when compressed the mattress 18 from two to three teet thick and 260 feet in length. The strips are placed five feet apart and are connected by Ivanized wire rope. The interstices of the brush work are filled with sufficient rock to give the jetty a weight of seventy-five pounds per cubic foot dis- placement. The jetties are parailel to each other, so that the forces at command are applied uniformly throughout the whole length of the channel. he axes of the jetties are at right angles tothe deep water curves inthe gulf, and the end of the east jetty extends beyond fhe end of the west jetty, thus protecting it and the channel entrance from heavy seas and - drifting sands. The Brazos River is 800 miles long and drains an area of 26,000 square miles. fe de- bouches Doldly into the Gulf of Mexicoin one solid stream, there being no delta ror mation at its mouth. Tue current of this great river willrush throdgh the channel made by tue jetties, scour away the sand and mud, and thus carry out the design ofthe engineer by acquiring and maintaining a depth of twenty jeet of water over the bar. The A SAN JACINTO &s&OLDIER. He Was With Sam Houston When Santa Anna Was Brought in a Prisoner. GALVESTON, Tex., Jan. 28.—News has just reached this place of the death at the rest dence of his son, near the town of Nacog- doches, in Eastern Texas, of Col. Madison G. Whitaker, ore ofthe few surviving vet erans, who fought against the power of Mex- ico, as marshalled on the historic battle field of San Jacinto, under the command of Gen. Antoine Lopez de Santa Anna, the self-styled Napoleon of the West,“ fresh from the butcheries at the Alamo and at Goliad. Col. Whitaker was born in Lincoln County, Tenn., April 4, 1811, and crossed the Saline River on his.way to Texas, Jan. 9, 1886. He participated in the battle of San Jacinto, April 21, 1836, and was standing beside Gen. Sam Houston the day after the battle, when the Texas Commander was reclining wound- ed under the shade of an Oak tree on the bat- tleground and Santa Anna, who had been captured ina morass while endeavoring to escape by a private soldier named Sylvester was brought before him, and is ons of the figures in Huddle’s historic painting of the scene now adorning the walls ofthe State capitol at Austin. Col, Whitaker had always been a warm personal friend of Gen. Houston’s and knew him in Tennessee, where he had seen bim in hisearly days. When he came to Texas Houston immediately recognized him, and they were neighbors here, assoctates in State Councils and comrades in War. But Houston and Whitaker differed in many political issues, notably the Missouri compromise, whig doctrine and the right of the states to secede, When Col. A. J. Houston, the ‘‘ily white’’ Republican nominee for Governor, visited Nacogdoches last fall for the purpose of opening the campaign, Col. Whitaker paid him homage, but he said there never was and never can be another Sam Houston.“ There are but seven survivors of the battle now alive in Texas.

OF THE FAIR SEX ARE NOW THIRTEEN N STATE OFFICIALS. Written for the SUNDAY PoOst-DisPatcnH. The multitude of women who have taken places formerly occupied by men in various lines of human endeavor is one of the won- dersand problems of modern civilization. „What is the limit of the adaptability of women?’’ the men ask themselves, but no one has the nardihood to draw the line, for every day girls and young ladies are taking up some branch of work new to the bread- earners of their sex. Gov. Francis, during bis term of of cently expired, opened up a... Beh usefulness for women alreguy ~ crowded by men, for “uur ‘Dave’ i Mise M. A.

Ifthe laws of Missouri had per- mitted Gov. Francis to succeed himself he would probably have 100 ladies on the list of St. Louis notaries before another four years elapsed. As it is, Gov. Stone may be obliged to bring the total up to the centennial mark ere he discards the cares of office. * Plentiful though notaries are, it will bea matter of general surprise to state that as many as thirteen are ladies. The fact as gained from the record in the Circuit Clerk’s office is another proof of the grow- ing responsibilities of women. The gentle- man who has an ambition to become a notary must submit tothe Governor a peti- tion signed by responsible and influential per- sons, and must furnish a bond of $5,000 in St. Louis and $2,000 elsewhere in the State. The policy has been totighten the brakes on the issuance of notaries’ commissions, and it is therefore a credit tothe business women of St. Louls that thirteen of their number had enough personal business ability and influence to get from the Governor tavorable answers to their peti- tions. There is thatabout the office of notary which might deter many ladies from covet- ing it. For instance, the statutes on the subject speak of notaries in the masculine gender, the word ‘‘he’’ being always used instead of he or she, or it. When the first female notarial application * V „ LTR SO * 12 a Me r 4 — * * — D A . Miss Flora F. Collier. was submitted to Gov.

I was visiting a friend m Pueblo recently, and one afternoon, being in an Edgar Allan Dos frame of mind, I decided to visit the _§nsane asylum with a view of conversing, _ with some ot the civil service reformers - boarding at that institution. I also wanted the views of a few Coloradoans who were op- Cee posed to bi- metalism. When Iam in search of statistical and expert testimony I always go to headquarters. Arriving at the building, I did not hand the superintendent my card, because I didn’t have any (newspaper men never carry cards, “probably forthe same reason that a shoe- maker never wearsa decent pair of shoes), but I made myself acquainted with the authorities and a Keeper was instructed to 8 me through. — first cheerful idiot I met was a person who -smagined himself to be Frederick the Great. He was about 4 feet 4 inches in height and weighed about ninety pounds. He pro- : posed to prove that he was Frederick the Great by a tall, elderly patient, who had lost his mind by reason of great financial losses. „Am I not Frederick the Great?“ he asked of the old gentleman. ** Well, if you are Frederick the Great I'd like to see Frederick the Small,. res ponded the demented financier in disdainful tones. After a short time spent in the room where the harmless patients are kept, the keeper took me into a wide corridor lined with cells. We approached a cell door, when the occu- pant came forward, extended his hand through the grating and said in a mild, pleasant voice: „Why. how do you do, to see ou. He was a perfect giant in stature, being about 6 feet 6 inches tall. He wore a long grizzled beard and long unkempt hair, and the hand he extended looked tome as large as the hand of fate. I thought from his language that he was a politician and was about to accept his prof- fered hand and ask him about his chances of being elected, when the keeper rather rudely pushed me back, saying: pon ' t let that fellow get hold of you, or he’ll tear you to pieces. He is one of the most dangerous patients we have. He mur- dered his wife and nine children in insane rage. * This incident rather unnerved me, and I dia not remain and ascertain his views on the question of just how many campaign speeches a man may make without being gutity of ‘‘offensive partizanship.’’ I thanked the keeper for his kindness, bade the Superintendent ‘‘good afternoon’’ and 2 was just about dusk when I left the building and I had not gone far. so it seemed, when I remembered that I had left my gloves lying on the table in the superin- tendent’s office, and I returned to getthem. I knocked loudly and the door was opened, but instead of the superintendent or one of the keepers, that I bad expected to see, ‘there stood my long-haired, long - bearded political friend, who in bland and suave tones invited me to Come in. ae I told him that I guessed I had mistaken the number and begged to be excused for my mistake, but the tall gentleman smiled sweetly, and in sweeter tones said, Come sir? 1 am very glad i replied that I wanted to catch the next car, and as I would have to hurry, I guessed I would postpone my visit until the next evening. A large bony hand reached out into the twi. light, and as I landed about six feet the other side of him in the hall and the door slammed shut, the tall gentleman said in sugared tones: Come in.“ He invited me up to his room, which he said was on the fourth floor. He said he wanted to talm to me. I told him that it was all right; heneed not waste any time on me, he could depend upon my vote toa certainty. I told him that it didn’t matter to which polit- ical party he belonged, that I was considered a Mugwump, and would vote for him early and often. „ou think me erazy. he said. Come to my room and I will convince you to the contrary.’’ „Crazy! My dear sir, you wrong me. You have enough intelligence to be a member of he Legisiature.’’ : He . — at me sternly as though he de- tected sarcasm in the remark. Then in fiexible tones he asked: ‘*Will you go to my room?“ ‘*Well, seeing it’s you, I guess I will. If it was anybody else I would certainly decline, as I am in a hurry.’’ He invited me to go ahead, and I slowly as- cended the stairs, thinking of his wife and nine children, and wondering where his keeper was. 1 7 — 1 * n r PREP a 2 eee . 2 wi * e cee OF ko ee : 2 . 3 ae ea i. 7 5 2 t . 5 1 - * y * * 4 ~ 5.5 n n ‘ ee = 3 * AZ 1 "+ EPF . ‘ Fc a Pee Pre 7 94 * N 3 Ory. ‘as ba Ka er Be eo * 4 P ~ 2 + * 2 That Mr. Albert Ross did not make his re- cent journey to Spain for his own pleasure. alone is proved by the latest addition to the Albatross Novels.’’ One of the heroines of ‘“*Thy Neighbor’s Wife.“ is a fair daughter of Seville, who captures the heart of a sus- ceptible young American traveler, and most of the action — tue sto is „Paris and rapid inci- worse than ‘Thou Shalt Not’’ and the rest of the stories of this author, and lis popularity will prova- bly be frees and ephemeral like those others, ad illingham, New York, are the pub- The novels of John Esten Cooke before and after the war were very popular, but of late days nothing them and their ver few.

Special Correspondence SUNDAY PoSsT-DISPATCH. ~~ New YorkK,Jan.26 -In the matinee of The Crust of Society’’ at the Union Square Theater the gowns worn by the ladies in the cast are strictly society gowns, They are the oc- casion of many ohs! and ahs! of admiration trom the feminine portion of the audience. Carrie Turner as Mrs. Eastlake Chapel wearsan effective gown in the fourth act, effective if for no other reason than its per- fect simplicity. Itis an Empire costume of pale pink bengaline, that tint of pink seen only in the petal ofa wild rose. The gown hangs straight, witha flowing effect, but so fashioned that there is a slight suggestion of the figure. The yoke is a creation of Diack silk net embroidered in jet, through which the soft flesh tints of her neck are visible. Outlining the yoke back and front is a deep bertha of black Chantilly lace. The robe is decorated towards the bottom with two rows about four inches apart of Diack and pink ribbon ruching. The sleeve is thoroughly balioon-like in its effect. It is made of the bengaline and reaches to the elbow, below which is a soft, graceful fall of the black Chantilly lace. With this costume, and right over her heart, Iss Turnar wears a huge punch of dark purple violets. The annual meeting held by the St. Louis Woman’s Christian Association and its Dranches atthe Woman’s Christian Home, No. 1814 Washington avenue, took place on Wednesday and proved one of the most in- teresting occasions of the kind ever held by the members of the assocfations and their friends. “§ At 11:80 the officers and those interested had arrived, and the President of the asso- Clation and all of its branches, Mrs. C. R. Springer, took the chair.

The foundation of the gown is heavy white brocaded satin, made with a long court train. Around the bottom of the skirt is a deep flounce of white Mechlin lace, and at the side and towards the edgeof the train are two long, odd-shaped bows of mauve velvet, while caught in among the loops of the velvet is a little make-believe mink, with its head half framed in velvet and its tail twisted around a long loop ot ribbon, The bodice of this gown is so short it hardly deserves the distinction of a mention. It is fashioned of mauve velvet cut very low.

A high privilege we esteem it to have been associated in the world’s work with one in whom the Christly spirit was so largely a controlling foree, enriching her character, giving weight to her counsel and graces to the expression of her opinions. And now that the visible presence of our friend has vanished we garner up her graces, holding them in memory as an inspiration to reach the same high standard. W hile we do not repress our tears over our well beloved, could the touch of our hands bring heragainto the scene of our labors and companionship, we would not recall her, but rather would we say—stay thou In the sunlit land that knows not Of tempest nor of blight, But folds within its bosom The souls that love the right.

There was a certain custom which, un- luckily for the brides of to-day, has fallen into disuse. In those times it was incumbent on the bridegroom to place quitea sum of money ina purse onthe wedding night and present it to the bride. Afterwardsthis was done the following morning., and the gift was called the Dow Purse. Another phase of the same thing existed tn Cumberland, where the Dridegroom provided himself with gold and crown pieces. At the words ‘‘with all my worldly goods I thee endow’’ he gave the Clergyman his fee and poured the rest of the money into a handker- chief which the bride n out. In other places it wag the custon on the day following the marriage for the bride to ask her hus- band a gift ot money OF Droperty, and he was bound in honor to grant her request, The Fashionable Breakfast.

A times have improved during the past nrteen years I have tried to keep pace with the on in a modest way and sort of do my duty according to my station. If the Se thought I was crowding ahead too - fast I took to the brush and cut across lots so ads to meet it early at the grave. This has required great earnestness, tact and good judgment on my part. As a result ot these traits have been admitted every - where not only to 'the highest society, but sometimes even to the best.“ By keeping quiet and going away early, using great care totake the same umbrella. I brought, I have now and again been admitted to some of the most refined circles, where I could study the Furniture at my leisure and contribute to the pleasure of the guests by straightening out the various rugs which I had previously skated across the waxed oak floors. ‘ The Early Dog. As I have advanced socially I have tried to give to the great world an idea of my prog- gress by the kind of dog I carried, just asa good Mason or Odd Fellow might wear an emblem to show what degree he was working under. My earliest dog was a simple-hearted, homeless thing, who had tried everything Almost and had failed at it. He had been ostracized from good society, when he was young, at a drag hunt, where he joined the chase and came in fifteen minutes ahead of the pack because he had watched the pre- Uminaries and had seen where the course lay from the top ofa straw pile on the hill. So when he came in cheerily with his tongue out and expected plaudits and things he was kicked in the stomach by a coarse groom and told to avaunt. : Then he tried other things. He could not be a foxhound because he was a native American dog, with no pedigree to speak of, as it ha been shut in a door once, or some- thipgfandso he had to go in entirely on his merits. He went on the stage foratime, being willing to work his way up, but he ‘‘falled up on his lines, and of course nobody wanted a bloodhound that had stage fright. He was broken hearted, for he hada good voice anda quiet humor that pleased the audience very much indeed. But he failed and cameto me with nothing but unfructined hopes. He remained with us some time. He wasa good watchdog,and would watch and guard anything so faith- fully that nobody could getit fromhim. He was so faithful that way that I had to shoot him once before I could get my overcoat back in time to catch a train. Then came other dogs, now and then one with a strain of blood in him. Ihad one imported Irish dog. He was brought over by an Irisnman who did some ditching forme. He came concealed in the | .

He was very fond of the children, especially of alittle boy of mine, who was tender and just about tall enough to be han- dy. Wecalled this dog Little Lora Fauntle- roy. That was because we could not see that he resembled Little Lord Fauntleroy except that he wore a sash once or twice after he jumped through a window, and short pants also in hot weather. Afterward 1 learned that he was an exile from Erin, and that a price had been set on head there. But he was full of Ireland’s wrongs. He bad a good many of those to redress. That was his business while in America. Between meals he redressed Ireland’s wrongs, and I paid the damage. He lived on cold potatoes while in the old country, but here he wanted cold quail, He ts dead now. He sat for his death mask two years ago. It is all I have to remember him by except a memento which people notice who arein Dathing with me at the seaside. ‘Since that I have learned that Ireland is not entirely populated by blooded Irish set- ters.

With him I gota box of dog biscuits and a acopewia, I met him at the train and bad the car containing him sidetracked.

Good Things in Puck, Judge“ and Other Humorous Weeklies Reproduced for SUNDAY POST- DISPATCH Readers Why He Met His Death. From the Jeweler’s Circular. „Tell me what kindof a stone that is,“ asked a well-known jeweler of San Abanias, Cal., last week, exhibiting a peculiar looking specimen. The object of inspection was a small greenish-yellow stone hardly larger than a small-sized marble. Various ventures of opinion were hazarded, varying. all the way from a piece of beer bottle glass to the 1 end ofa mucilage sponge, by the scribe. „Hold it to the light,’’ directed the jew- eler. In this position the stone showed a re- markable crystalline structure, reflecting the rays of light in a series of iridescent prismic colors of wonderful brilliance. **Diamond,’’ ruby, sapphire, ‘‘emer- ald,“ to „ onyx!“ hornblende, „moss agate,’’ ejaculated a chorus of know- ing voices at the same instant.

[HUMOROUS FREAKS. ‘| choly. THE LIFE OF MUSEUM FREAKS AS TOLD BY COMIC PAPERS. Written for the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH. The word freak—as applied to eminent fat ladies, to impressive giants, to portentous bearded females, to living skeletons that keep themselves comfortably alive through their very meagerness, to dog-faced boys, whose faces are their fortunes, and to all those various wonders who have found out that two heads are better than one, or that to be born unusually short isto increase your chances of being long for this world, or that an honest living may be earned in the crooked ways of the contortionist—this word is an Americanism. It is a showman’s abbrevia- tion for freak of nature’’—the term origin- nally applied to these engaging monstrosities, In England they are usually termed ‘‘curi- osities.’’ As such they have long been the subject of good-natured fun, which finds an echo among American humorists. Do you remember Dickens’ story of **Cnops, the Dwarf?’’ The very description of the canvas that decorated the place in which Chops exhibited himself reads as if it referred to the transparencies in front of a dime museum in the Bowery. Mr. Mogsman, the showman, is speaking. First of all,“ he says, there was the canvas representin’ the pictur’ of the Giant in Spanishtrunks anda man who was half the height of the house and wasrun up with a line and pulley toa pole of the roof so that his ed was coeval with the parapet. Then there was the can- vas representin’ the pictur’ of the Albino lady, showin’ her white ’air to the army and navy in correcttniform. Then there was the canvas representin’ the pictur’ of the wild Indian scalpin’ a member of some foreign nation. Then there was the canvas representin’ the pic- tur’ ofa child ofa British planter seized by two boa-constrictors—not that we never had no child, uor noconstrictors neither. Sim- Uarly, there was the canvas representin’ the pictur’ of the Wild Ass of the Prairies—not that we never had no wild asses, nor wouldn't have had em asa gift. Last, there was the canvas representin’ the pictur’ of the Dwarf, and like him, too (considerin’), with George the Fourth in such a state of astonishment at him as his majesty couldn't, with his utmost politeness and stoutness, express.“ Another master of English humor, Diek - ens’ great rival, Thackeray, actually has some very subtle and delicate fun at the ex- pense of the American. Traveling down the Mississippi River, he informs us in oneof his Roundabout Papers, he has as his fellow- passengers on the steamboat no less person- ages than the Vermont Giant and the famous Bearded Lady of Kentucky and their son. ‘*Their pictures I had seen in many cities through which I traveled with my own little performance, I think the Vermont Glant was a trifle taller in his pictures than he was in life (being represented in the former as, at least, some two stories high), but the lady’s prodigious beard received no more than justice at the hands of the painter; that portion of it which I saw being really most black, rich and curly— 1 say the portion of deard, for this modest or prudent woman kept 1 don’t know how much of the beard covered up with a red handkerchief, from which 1 suppose it only emerged when she went to bed or when she exhibited it professionally. You would have fancied that as, afterall, we were some half dozen on board, she might have dispensed with her red handkerchief: and talked and eaten her dinner in comfort; but in covering her chin there was a kind of modesty. That beard was her pro- fession; that beard brought the public to see her. Outofher business she wished to put that beard aside, as it were, as a barrister would wish to put off his wig. I know some who carry theirs into private life, and who mistake you and me for jury boxes whentthey address us; but these are not your modest barristers, not your true gentlemen.’’ The little son, it appears, though not yet 3 years old, had a fine beard already, and his little legs and arms, as seen out of his little frock, were covered with a dark down. And there was another child, also. Nowy, this was a little girl of some 5 years old, as fair and as smooth of skin, dear madam, as your own darling cherubs. She wan- dered about the great cabin quite melan- Noone seemed to care forher. All the family affections were centered on Mas- ter Beau yonder. His little beard was begin- ning to be a little fortune already, whereas Miss Rosalba was of no good to the family. No one would pay a cent to see her little fair face. No wonder the poor little maid was melancholy. As I looked at her I seemed to walk more and more in a cavern of ogres. Was this a little foundling whom they had picked up in some forest, where lie the picked bones of the queen, her tender mother, and the tough old defunct monarch, her father? No. Doubtless they were quite good-natured people, these. I don’t believe they were unkind to the little girl without the mustaches. It may have been only my fancy that she repined, because she hada cheek no more bearded than a rose’s.’’ This is gracious and fanciful wit, but, un- like Dickens, it is far and away from the manner of the American humorist in dealing with the same subject. To hark back to **Chops, the Dwarf, and to learn that when the eminent character traveled with the Spotted Baby, ‘‘though he knowed him- self to be a nat ral dwarf, and knowed the baby’s spots to be put onto him artificial, he nursed that baby like a mother;’’ to read this is to feel quite at home. You see jokes of this sort in almost every issue Of Puck or Judge or Life; jokes where the point lies in assuming that the freakishness of the freak is put on’’ and not ‘‘nat’ral.’’ ‘‘Whereis Afghan Lumbago, the tattooed Zulu?’’ asks the stage menager in Puck, And the property-boy answers: He got catfight in the rain coming from supper, and he is down-stairs having the scenic artist touch him up.’’ You see this isexactly Dickens’ joke, the tattooed Zulv being merely substituted for the Spotted Baby. Again, when Dickens makes his Nicholas Nickleby meet the great African swallower of Crummies’ Com he incidentally remarks that ‘‘he looked much like an Irishman.’’ And in comic literature the Wild Man of Borneo, the Circassian Beauty and the Fiji cannibal in- variably look Irish, and in the sanctity of | private life speak with a brogue, That the bearded lady is no lady is an old, old gag with the funny man.
