Last Seen Going Towards the a Bridge ina Man’s Company. The Success Building Association Also Involved in the Wreck. ‘WHAT SHE DID WITH THE MONEYA MYSTERY YET UNSOLVED. Receiver Whyte Makes Some Further Re- markable Discoveries of Orookedness List ofthe Common Sense Loan and Building Association Stockholders— Woful Creditors Call on the Receiver— No Criminal Warrants Yet Sworn Out. There was a notice on the door of the Com- mon Sense Bullding and Loan Association on ‘the fifth floor of the Fagin Building this morning announcing that the office had been removed to 108 North Eighth street. A young man withan anxious face was scanning this announcement when a Post-DISPATCH re- porter called to ascertain if anything had been heard from Mrs. C. K. Blood, Secretary and factotum of the association, who took sudden leave of stockhold- ers and depositors early yester- Gay morning after having ransacked the office ane taken away a lot of papers and books. ‘*Owe you anything?’’ asked the re- porter of the young man, whose face had lengthened several degrees when he found that door of the office was locked and that the notice of removal was signed Joseph F. Whyte, receiver.’’ es, she does, was the laconic reply. **Guess I'll go round on Eighth street. On the way the depositor said he had put $100 into the association, and it was evident that he had very little hope of getting any part of itback. He was asked how he had been in- Guced to sacrifice himself for the benefit of Mrs. Blood, and replied thatthe 8 percent interest which the assoriation had promised to pay’ on loans had done the trick for him. ‘‘Isawa chance to get 8 percent on my money, said he, and I wont and paid it n and got a certificate in return. This victim was not at all proud of his venture in finenciering and declined to give his name. When he arrived at the re- ceiver’s office Mr. Whyte had not come down, and he went away, saying that he would call again. He was only one of a large number of similarly duped Gepositors in the defunct association of which Mrs. Blood was the head, front, body tall. It is estimated that in the twenty- : months during which Mrs. Blood con. “@ucted the business at least $15,000 was taken 0 most of which was money promise of high t. much she received 5 ety there is no way of ascertaining, here is littie doubt that she realized an amount eg and in excess of the expense of running the business. WHAT DID SHE DO WITH IT? Phil Pollack, who isthe attorney for the receiver, makes this fact the basis upon which he founds the hope that Mrs. Blood has laid aside quite a neat little sum upon which it may be possible to lay hands if the woman herself can only be found. ‘‘She couldn’t have spent all that money,’’ argued the lawyer this morning while discussing the situation. It is true the office was nicely fitted up. but in no other respect does she seem to have been liberal with her money. She never wore fine clothes, was decidedly averse to paying her debts, and the running expenses of the office were very light. Borrowing money at $100, 9500 and $1,000 at atime,she must haverapidly accumulated funds and should not be sur- rised if we should find that she has a nice ttle nest-egg somewhere. Have you any clew as to her present whereabouts?’’ Mr. Pollack was asked. Well, no; I must say we have not. My own impression, however, is that she not far. She may man of marked * it would be very get away altogether without leaving a trace be- ind „he fact 16, continued the lawyer, ‘‘that while building and loan associations are all right in themselves ween pee riy conducted there is no legal safeguard. Ignorant people are misied by the expression ‘incorporated under the laws of the State,’ and believe that the State is in some way responsibie, whereas any irresponsible person can get a charter by simply getting up à list of stock. There should be an examiner for building and loan associations and they should be investigated just as national banks Are. MAKING FOR THE BRIDGE.

The colored janitor. of the mn Bullding telle a story which leaves a doubt on fnat score, and also indicates t Mrs. Blood was assisted in making her _ @pcape by some male friend. ‘*Yesterday morning about s o’ciock,'’ said he., I was coming down town to the building Mhen ! was surprised to see Mrs. Blood walking alon the east side of Twelfth Street, north towards Olive street, th some man whom I didn’t know. hed cleaned her office the night before and was anxious to get down before her.

For every dollar of supposed ayvail- able assets the association possessed about 75 cents expense had been incurred. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. Mrs. Blood’s book of stockholders in the association shows her peculiar transactions. A great number of stockholders were down for one share. These the female financier, it is claimed, carried on her on account. The stock holders in the association are shown by the books to be 8. W. Gay, K. OC. Blood, T. M. Gibson, M. H. Hopkins, Curtis F. Quick, William Karr, Oscar W. Seaton obert Rauschenbach, Lizzie Kerr, Lizzie Dem ey, Maggie Kerr, Jennie Kerr, Wiliam Campbell, Walter Oonnor, Peter Ahearn, John Donohue, Wilhelmina Shores, P. Copp, G. Green, James Landers, Charles Rowland, William F. Hight, Mrs. G. N. Walker, F. F. Blood, William Jameson, L. O. Davis, J. A. Shader, J. A. Stanion, G. M. Heimberger, Sarah S. Kall, T. C. Atwater, Hobert Tierney,R. Smith and B.C. Patterson. In several cases the stockholders have been paying in for near! 1 onee. The stockholders all told h old about ninety- three shares of stock. Of this number Mrs. Blood carried about fifteen shares of hernelf and friends. All told $2,659 should be in hand for loans paid inonthe monthly plan. The principal victims, however, are the people who have loaned her money at 8 per cent per annum and taken paid up certificates of stock. The sums collected in this way amount to $6,809. These are supposed to secured by deeds of trust. With one exception there have been no deeds recorded and until an investigation of the titles is made it will not be known whether the deeds are fraudu- lent or not. Mr. S. W. Gay, who was the first treasurer of the association when it was organized, called on Receiver Whyte this morning and lent him all the atd he could in the straightening out of the accounts. Mr. Gay stated that he knew that the as- sociation was in a shaky condition a year ago and adviged Mrs. Blood to writeto the Secretary of State, telling him exactly how matters stood and asking his advice. Shortly after this Mr. Gay was superseded as treas- nrer and His connection with it ended. At this time Mr. Gay did not believe that there had been anything done which was not in accordance with the law. The association nad simply failed to obtain subscribers for CERTIFICATES PREPARED IN ADVANCE. While Mr. Whyte and Mr. Gay were exam- lining the stock certificates in the office of Mr. Whyte this morning they came across a batch of blank stock certificates to be issued as cash loans. They were all signed by K. C. Blood and William Karrasofficers. All Mrs. Blood had to do when the depositor who wanted 8 per cent on his money arrived was to All out the blank space left for his name and the amount and take his money, giving him virtually a promissory note for the amount, bearing interest at 8 per cent. J. P. Cochran, a man who had the ap- pearance of being in a dazed condition, was among the first callers at Mr. Whyte’s office this morning. Mr. Cochran had loaned the association $200 overa year ago, and after being paid his interest had renewed the loan at Mrs. Blooa’s request. Mr. Whyte does not think the stockholders or those who have loaned the association money will. get much out of it. Should the deed of trusts prove zen- uine after an investigation of titles they may receive about 40 per cent. ANOTHER ASSOCIATION INVOLVED. From latest developments it looks as though Mrs. Kate Blood had done up another bogus buliding association called the Success Bulldipg and Loan Association. When At- torney Frank o' Retlly made a search of Mrs. Blood’s office yesterday, he discovered that another association known as the ‘‘Success’’ had for its Board ofr Directors and officers the same people as the Common Sense Bulld- ing Association had. Nopass books on the Success had been issued, but the Secretary had succeeded in getting about $1,500 in paid- up loans from people to whom she had promised 8 per cent interest, Mr. O'Reilly did not have any suit against the Success, and after glancing over the books let them alone. so far no victims of the Success Association have come forward. The directors of both associations are Harry Howard, Wm. Karr, 8. W. Gay, K. ©. Blood, C. C. AbdDston „ kh bell, W. H. Hopkins, „ G Tucker, C. F. Quick, J. A. Stanion, T. M. Gibson, G, W. Heimberger and O. W. Seaton. Most of these gentlemen pulled out of the associa- tion as soon as it was started and others claim they never owneda share of stock in it. MR. PATTERSON IN A QUANDARY. Mr. B. C. Patterson called on Mr. O’Rellly this morning and asked him how he stood, telling him of a very peculiar transaction in realestate which he had with Mrs. Blood andinwhich he thinks she gave him the worst of it. ‘*l bought 25 feet on Fair avenue and built two houses on it,“ sola Mr. Patterson. The property was bought from K. ©. Blood, agent for Thomas Hamilton. She then bought it back in the name of F. Copp, her sister-in-law, and paid for it by giving mea a deed of trust on some property belonging to Thomas Hamilton, Later she exchanged the deed of trust for another deed of trust, giving me a deed to property owned by „Lees, being 115 feet on east side of Fair avenue near Ashland. 1 recorded the deed, and yesterday a deed of trust dated a year ago, given to the Common sense — and Loan Association, was recorded. A this property was inherited by Mrs. Blood and putinthe name of F. Lees and Thos. Hamilton to avoid creditors.’’ The negro Hamilton and Lees are the game, Notary Public Love being sure of it, and claims to have proof of it. Mr. Patterson admits knowing that the property belonged to K. C. Blood, and states that when he asked her about it she said: Oh, that is all right; all the real estate eople do that soasto make the transfer Ook better.’’ Mr. Patterson doesn’t know now whether he owns anything or not. HENRY SIEGRIST TAKEN IN. About a year ago a deal of K. C. Blood’s was exposed, which should have been a warping to every one. Since then Mrs. Blood has not attempted to do a legitimate business, but has laid ia wait for the unsuspecting who had a little cash to invest and has schemed to get possession of their little. The deal in question, and the oue which brought abouther first exposure, was the 50 feet of ground in Oak Hilf to Henry Sie- grist. Mrs. Blood did not know the name of the owner of this property, nordid she at- tempt to discover it. She sola t to Siegrist and took $150 on account, promis- ing to make hima loan and give him a d to the property as bullt on the went ahead and built his house and asked Mrs. Blood to make ni and give him a deed to supposin that to do. ty, This she refus John Sscullin, the ee Mr, A railway very muc sed a house and that I am innocent. responsible and 80 gold him the lot at a fair Mrs. Blood is said’ to have made several similar deals. A PREACHER VICTIM. Rev. Gerhard Busmann dropped into the Royal Building on Eighth street this after- noon to consult Attorney H. M. Dalton about the prospect of his recovering $2,117.50, which he had put into the association. The lawyer wanted to make Mr. Busmann fee! as weil as he could under thecircum- stances and greeted him with, Well, we fixed that. How do you mean?’’ asked the clergyman eagerly. ‘‘Why we gota re- ceiver appointed, answered the lawyer. The clerical face fellas Mr. Busmann said, **Got a receiver! What’s that? The woman’s gone!“ Dalton endeavored to encourage him by saying that scme assets had been discovered and that enough micht yet be found to make the amount. It was a charitable effort, ut the preacher was not much con- soled by the uncertain rospect. It 106 said that Mr. usmann had sola his farm and put the money in the association in the hope of getting 8 per cent erestonit. He will not be likely to pat- ron building associations again, as he had quite an experience also with MiloT, Bogard. DR. SHOBER’S QUEER CONDUCT. A Post-Dieratcu reporter called on Dr. Shober, dentist, at Seventh and Olive streets, who had been ‘‘elected’’ by Mrs. Blood as Treasurer of the association. The he had pérmitted the use of his name because Mrs. Blood had entreated him to, and as- sured him it would not inconvenience him, ‘*She got me into the thing first,’’ he said, „then made me a director and then treasur- er. I signed only one note for $100, and I intended to resign, but the business went up before d a chance. I am convinced now tat Mrs. Blood ran the business solely in her own in terest. I know nothing about the details and went to the office only once or twice.”* The attorneys interested stated this after- noon that several deeds of trust had been discovered, and that they hoped to scrape together enough asseststo pay off a portion of the claims against the association. MRS. COPP INTERVIEWED. A PosT-DisPaTcH reporter called at the residence of Mrs. Phcabe Copp, 3839 Lincoln avenue, thisafternoon, and saw that lady. She is a sister-in-law of Mrs. Blood, and her. name has been used in a number of Mrs. Blood’s shady transactions. She professed entire ignor- ance of all of Mrs. Blood’s business and said that she had never signed her name to any ers for Mrs. Blood, or authorized that Ja y to use it in any transaction. Mrs. Blood called on me yesterday, said Mrs. Copp. ‘Phoebe,’ she said, would it surprise you if I were to go to Chicago to- morrow?’ „„ No, Kate, I said, ‘nothing that you would do wouid surprise me.. FOUND IN THE RIVER. Dead Bodies ofa Woman anda Child— Murder Suspected. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. %4,.—Two bodies are at the Morgue, one ofa woman about 80 years of age and the other ofa little girl of 5 or 6, each with huge stones tiled to their waists. The woman’s body was found in the river yesterday and that of the girl this morning. The police are of the opinion that it is a case of murder, asthe ropes were tied to the stones in a complicated knot which no woman could make. WILL CLOSE UP. Harry Falk Agrees to Discontinue the Windsor Clab. Harry Falk, proprietor of the defunct Windsor Club, was arraigned in the Court of Criminal Correction this morning on a charge of selling liquor without a license. Attorneys Martin and Bass who appeared for the prosecution read a letter in court, which Falk had written to them and in which be stated that he was satis- fied that he bad no show to clear himself and that he had decided to quit the saloon busi- ness and leave the city. All he wanted, he said, wastoset himself right and to escape further prosecution on tue present charge. Mr. Martin stated that he was willing that the case should be dropped, providing that Falk was sincere in his intentions. The case was continued until Sept. 1, in order that the defendant might be given time to prove that his assurances for the future were given in good faith. . GOT THE WRONG CORPSE. City Undertaker Sherrick Makes a Pecu.- liar Mistake. City Undertaker George W. Sherrick made a peculiar mistake last night, which almost resulted in Wendlin Hlavack’s body being shipped from the city. in placeof another corpse. He went tothe City Hospital last night with an order from the Coroner for the body of one James Mulroy, who died at that institution yesterday from consumption, and which he had been ordered to prepare for shipment. On presenting the order to the attendants at the Hospital he was directed to one of the bodies, which, however, he refused to ac- cept, saying that he had known Mulroy for years in life and that the corpse offered was not that ofthe man he knew. The attend- ants supposed thatthe bodies had become mixed up in some manner, and taking Sher rick’s word for it, told him to examine the other corpses and pick out the one he wanted. He looked them over and finally identified that of Wendlin Hlavack as the one he was after. This he carried away with him, a This morning he commenced the work of mbalming the body when the mistake was rtunately detected. He at once placed the corpse back in the wagon and hurried over to the City Hospital, where he explainea matters and carried away the cadaver which he had before refused, but which proved to be the right one. ACCUSES ANOTHER. Mayhew Claims That He Is Innocent of the Charges Against Him.

Loss on Buildings and Stock Will Reach $125,000. 4 — ae ELECTRIC WIRES INTERFERE SERTOUS- LY WITH THE WORK OF FIREMEN, — — The Standard Theater Eaved by Clever Fire Fighting—Fitsman Ben Letson Badly Shocked by Electric Wires—The Fire Originated n a Heap of Oakum and Spread Quickly Over the Grease- Soaked Floors—Losses and Insurances. This morning shortly after 10 o’clock a dis- astrous fire broke out on the second floor of the five-story brick obullding at 617 Walnut street, occupled by the West- ern Brass Manufacturing Co. About forty men wers at work in different parts of the building and when the alarm was given they made a hasty exit into the street and alley. It was ten minutes after the cry of fre was first given that the first alarm was sounded. This was sent in from box 144, on the corner of Sixth and Wal- nut streets, at 10:28, and when tue first de- tachment of the Fire Department reached the scene the flames had spread throughout the three upper stories of the structure at 617 and part of the top floor of the five-story Structure at 615 Walnut street occupied by the same firm. Asthe Standard Theater ad- joined the burning structure on the west and wasonly separated fromit bya two- foot hallway, it was: deemed ad visable to sound a second alarm, This was sounded at 10:38. The onslaught of water which the dozen ormore engines made on the burning structure seemed to have no effect whatever on the flames, for they con- tinued to creep upward and downward despite all efforts of the fremen. The bullding at 615 began to burn rather rapidly on the upper floors, and to make matters worse the west wall of the structure at 617 began to sag and inclined in the direction of the theater. THIRD ALARM SOUNDED, When Assistant Ohief Gross saw this wall beginning to sag he sounded a thfrd alarm which brought halfa dozen additional engines to the scene. When these arrived there was danger ofa great confiayration. The flames had eaten their way through the roof of the brass and every moment expected to see the of the structure crash against the east wallof the theater, which would be almost sure to give way beneath the vast weight of brick and timber, and the combustible material ofthe theater would then undoubtedly become ignited. The man agers of the theater engaged a number of persons and they carried ont a lot of pasta ble furr ts hooks and scenery. The mam ers oi the Salvage Corps spread tarpauiins over the seats and boxes. In the meanwhile severai strong streams were played on the toppling wall of the fac- tory, so that when it did fali its force would not be so great. The good effect of the streams upon this wall was not realized until an hour later, whenthe north end of the wall crumbled and was washed away by the hose streams. : Aboutthis time the roof of the burning factory gave away in therear, but did not fail further than the top floor. FOUR FIREMEN SHOCKED). After the arrivalof the third detachment ofthe fire apparatus streams were thrown onthe building from all points of vantage. In all there were about twenty streams play- ing on the building. Owing to the network of electric light, trolley, telephone and telegraph wires on Walnut street the firemen experienced great difficulty in fighting the fames from this side. They could not raise the Hayes truck ladder, and when they attempted to raise the water tower in front of the building the ſron- work of the machine came in contact with the trolly wire of the Cass avenue line and fourfiremen who were at work raising the tower were thrown off the machine to the street, the result of a severe electric shock. Fora few moments the four men lay as if dead on the street. Ihen three of them jumped up and resumed work. Ben Letson, the fourth man was, however, unable to move. After being conveyed tothe City Dis- pensary in a patrol wagon and receiving medical aid, he was conveyed to his home, 624 South Broadway, in a rather dangerous condition. Superintendent of City Light- ing O'Reilly stated that when the first alarm was sounded, he telephoned Cass avenue power house and requested the managers to shut ofthe current, but fifteen minutes afterward the . firemen were shocked. WIRFS IN THE WAT. When it decame evident that it would be murder to make the firemen ascend among the wires in frontof the building, Assistant Chief Gross ordered the small truck lad- ders into service, and these would not reach higher than the tecond story. Had it not been for this handicap the fire would have been extinguished in a very short time, Lines of hose were run into the theater and over its roof and cver several roofs of houses adjoining the brass manufactory on the east. in this way the fire had to be fought. While the firemen were working with a line of hose inside the theater, the hose burst and almost flooded the s and basecent. After rous work the — ORIGIN OF THI BLAZE.

The two bulldings which the Western Brass Manufacturing Co. occupied are each four stories high. Dr. E. H.

About noon the rear half collapsed en masse, and sunk to the first floor, there being no cellar. Com- fort used the building until recently for the manufacture of jeans clothing, and rented it to the Western Brass Manufacturing Co., who needed it for their enamel tub industry. An Unruly Crowd. The firemen were greatly hampered at first by the immense crowd which flocked to the excitement in the wake of the engines. Along Seventh street and Walnut street, the curious mobs surged until the police ar- rived in sufficient numbers to drive the people back and stretch fire lines. But 80 great was the throng that the police were forced to use heroic measures to clear the streets for the firemen. Capt. Sam Boyd was in command, and with half-a-dozen sergeants and fifty or sixty police under him, he maintained or- r among the crowd and cleared a space for fre firemen. . BROKE UP 1HE REHEARSAL. Marie Sanger’s Berlesquers Driven off the Standard Stage by the Water. The Standard Theater was flooded with torrents of water which bounded from the walls of the burning building and poured through the windows of the theater. The Marie Sanger Burlesque com- pany, which is to open at the Standard next Saturday night was in the midst of a rehearsal when a man ran up to Manager Dick Burke, who was at the front door, and told him that the adjoining dullding was on Are. Mr. Burke called out to the company on the stage to get out, because there was a fire next door, an order which the ac · tors and actresses hastened to obey. But they did not lose their heads for they took time to don their street costumes, and Harry Brown, stage Manager of the company. pulled the hook of box 154, which hangs on the inside wall of the building just behind the scenes, When the firemen arrived the ladies and gentlemen of the troup were quietly filing out of the stage door. A part of the west wall of the burning building gave way, and some of the debris crashed through the win- dows on the east side of the theater, but did no material damage. Manager Burke said: Ido not know how much loss we ave suffered at the present time. The scenery and the box draperies are soaked with water, and the cellar is full of water, but we can readily remedy that evil by opening the traps.’’ Col. Edward Butler, the proprietor, was on the stage in the midst of the excitement out- side, and examined the havoc of the water. Ido not think that our loss will go beyond $1,000, said he. Before the fire was under control, a squad of men was set to work to mop up the stage and the aisles. After an hour’s work the prospects bright- ened very materially, and the management of the theater was able to announce that the Saturday night opening. will not be post- poned, MAY PROVE A FIRE-BUG.

New Tonk, Aug. 24.—The West Indian cy- clone, which swept over this part of the At- lantic Coast last night and this morning on its way tothe New England States, has left its mark over the whole region around New York, witha sweep of fully 1,000 miles. The rainfall, measuring 3.82 inches during the lasttwelve hours,is the heaviest that has ever been recorded by the local signal service. Premonitions of the coming storm were felt yestesday afternoon at Long Branch, where the surf broke over the piers and the board walks. The wind, which was already stroug at 5 o’clock, in the afternoon steadily increased in veloc- ity, reaching a maximum of forty miles an hour at 8 in the morning. The heavy rainfall began at9o’clock. At that hour the bay was still full of steamships and other large vessels rolling at anchor. Almost all those which were in an ex- posed condition sought safety outside so that the bay looked almost deserted at 8 o’clock this morning. Many of these ships, as well as steamships which are due to-day, are now cruising outside waiting for the wind to subside. Through the dragging of anchors of the escaping ships in the bay and North River more than fifty cables of the Western Union Telegraph Oo. were torn and are now lying uselessat the bottom of the river. The ravages of the storm were no less se- vere on land. Trees were overturned in Central Park and many botanical plants were ruined. On Battery Park three elm trees were uprooted and more than a hundred sparrows roosting in a bird house on one of them were killed. any plate- glass windows in the vicinity of Madl- son Square and along Broadway were shat- tered by the violence of the wind, while shutters were torn from houses through- out the city. Wire connection . with Boston and New Haven was entirely broken. Between Stamford, Conn.,and New York there were stilla few wires left this morning. Of the seventy-five wires to Wash- ington only twelve were standing, dut the connection with Philadelphia was in order, All the wires on Long Island were badly affected and the trains ceased to run on schedule time. All the roads to and from New England were behind time this morn- ing. Afreight wreck on the Hartford road — suspended traffic on that line so far to- Ay. Ihe guests at the Manhattan, Oriental and Brighton Beach hotels had an opportunity early this morning to see a storm at sea. ag one came up to the hotels at Brighton. esea reached mland the farthest at Brighton Beach. The waves run right a the music pavillion where Seidle was wont to delight hig audiences, washed miniature sand dunes upon the lawn and walks, and their crests dashed right over the verandah rails. The floor of the wide plazza was like a deep-laden ship’s deck awash and the first floor of the hotel was soaked with salt water. Nearly 200 feet of the trestle of the famous monopoly, the Marine Rallway, was carried away by the big breakers. The sea dashed throughthe breach and ran for 1,000 feet beyond the railway. The watch- man of the trestie hada close call for his life. His shanty was swept away, and he was 8 by the coast life saving guard with a life- t. The storm which passed over Brooklyn at an early hour this morning caused great damage and inconvenience, Nearly every street in the city was covered with the debris from trees. The police report that at least ten houses were unroofed. During the height of the storma policeman found the body of a dead man > a peddler’s wagonon Whipple street. e wagon was filled with waterand the man was floating Around. In New Jersey the storm was most severely felt and reports of damage more or less serious wascoming in throughout the day, but details were meager on account of the emma or of the wires and telephone. hroughout the Oranges alon Delaware & Lackawana line Morristown, trees were blown down in every direction and news of similar effects of the storm were received from towns and villa on the Jersey Central and Pennsylvania /ines. A summary taken this morning snows that fully 150 large elm trees, averaging ten inches in diameter, were blown down in Rahway. Many narrow escapes are reported. At3o’clock, when the family of William Seaman on Milton avenue were asleep, they were awakened by the crashing through the roof ofa large tree. It cut through to the second story, stopping just at the foot of the in whieh Mr. Seaman lay. At Elisabeth fully 1,000 trees were blown down.

To this nded that the only occa- In — wnt — bonds redeemable in go and com- — 2 reminm, to ee ge them for currency of any kind, would be just such an emergency as is now upon thenation. It was a far-fetched objection that gold would be demanded for them. Mr. Brosius of Penfisylvania had a substi- tute for Mr. Johnson's bill. It proposes to uthorige the Secretary of the Trea sury to fooue notes in exchange for old coin. To this mre Johnson said he had no objection as an independent measure, but it did not, in his opinion, meet the case. People who have gold do not have to sendto Washington for potes in order to pay their debts. The gue tself will do that. But people who hold bonds, es ally if they are of large denominations, cannot with them discharge their obligations. Mr. 4 n was advocated by Messrs. Walker, Hall Of Missouri and Springer, while Mr. Cox favored it with the substitution of some other form of note than Treasury es. Messers. Sperry and Warner supported the substitute proposed by Mr. Brostus. CONGRESSIONAL GOSSIP. Debate in Both Houses Will Reach a Cli- max Saturday—Gleanings. WasuHInGTor, D.C. Aug. 24.—The proceed- ings in both Houses of Congress which have been accumulating in interest all the week, will reach a climax to-morrow and Saturday. On the last named day the ablest speakers in the House will close the silver debate. Bourke Cockran Wilson of Virginia, Thomas B. Reed and Mr. Bland, the sponsor of the Silver dollar, would either of them by him- self prove a great attraction; but allof them in combination, with others of almost equal force will present an array of forensic ability such has seldom been displayed on any one day in Congress. Ex-Speaker Reed is ex- pected to outshine all previous efforts. It is understood that he has carefully prepared his speech and that its clearness and felicity of statement and sarcastic wit will assuredly hold the attention of the House and country. OTHER SIDE OF EARLY ADJOURNMENT THEORY. Those sanguine statesmen who predict the speedy passage of the Sherman amendment andan early adjournment are not having matters all their oon way. The Senate really holds the key to the situation. Some of the extreme advocates of silver in that body as- sert that if on reconsideration the Senate persists in refusing seats to the appointed Senators from Montana, Washington and Wyoming they will hold the Senate in session and stave off a vote on the silver question until the Legislatures of those States have been called together in special session to fill the vacancies. On the House side also there are ‘‘doubting Thomases’’ who do not see the end of the session quite so near at hand as some of their colleagues profess. Of this class is Mr. Au- gustus N. Martin of Indiana, Chairman of the Committee on Invalid Pensions. He says: It would be profitable to me if Congress should adjourn, as has been sug- gested. My partner has been taken out of the office toa place on the bench in our dis- trict and the firm’s business needs attention. But I believe that the people expect us to re- main and continue at work. Wo can cut the session that much shorter at the otherend next year. There is plenty for us todo; peek that we promised todo. Admit New exico, admit Arizona, repeal the Federal election laws—these things will keep us busy while the Committees on Appropriations, Ways and Means and Banking and Currency are perfecting measures for the considera- tion of the House. The pt ere | among Senators who have been accounted ‘‘last-ditch’’ free silver men, upon whichin part the confidence of the early adjourners is based, is said to be Guetothe pressure brought to bear upon them for early action by the representa- tives of other interests than those of silver miners. The farmers in the far Northwest, itis said, are beginning to feel the need of money to move their crops, and the railroads suffer with the farmers in the falling off of their business. These facts are said to have been infigentia! in changing the minds of several Senators heretofore classed among the opponents of immediate or unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. MR. WHITER’S ANTI-MONOPOLY DRAG-NET. Mr. White of California has introduced into the Senate a bill that is intended to carry into effect the declaration of the Democratic platform against trusts and combines. The Sherman anti-trust law of July, 1890, Mr. White looks upon as a legislative sieve, in which it is impossible to hold water, and in his bili he proposes a drag-net that has its meshes so closely drawn that not even the little fish, much less the greater and more dangerous, can get through, in his opinion. His bill repeals the Sherman anti- trust act of 1890 in toto and substitutes an- other, somewhat lengthy, but defining ex- actly what are trusts, how monopolies may be considered and discovered by law om ders. It sets forth that a monopoly shall be defined to mean two or more persons en- gaged in or interested inthe same kind of eneral business for the purpose of supress- ng competition, raising prices or charges forthe transportation of persons or prop- erty or limiting, decreasing or controlilng roduction. Such a monopoly is declared to efllegaland itis made the duty of United States courts to issue injunctions upon sum. clent complaint and to perpetuate such in- junction if the facts so warrant. SENATE'S ACTIVITY IN LEGISLATION. When the Fifty-second Congress convened the House got the start of the Senate in the introduction of bills, and during the first two days threw something like 2,000 bills into the hopper. This year the Senate basthe start and when the House gets through with the silver questi on it will find itself left far be- hind in proposed legislation. Up to last night the Senate had before it 687 Dilis, cover- ing all the important matters of general leg- islation, save the one important subject of the tarif, which, being a revenue measure, must originate in the Lower House. On the subject of finance many dills have been introduced by statesmen representing all parts of the country and ali shades of be- lief. Mr. Hillof New York introduced the first, and was content to rest at that. Mr. Peffer of Kansas has offered four financial bills, two of which he fathered and two of which he introduced dy request;'’ Mr. Hunton of Virginia comes next with three; and Senators Stewart of Nevada, Manderson of Nebraska and Vest of Missouri divide the honors with two each, both of the Nebraska Senator’s being by re- uest, and one of Mr. Vest’s of the same sort. essrs.

When the baking process is over and the heads are cooled down the surface of the forms are rubbed with sand paper until they are as smooth as the skin of a baby. This completes the first partof the manufacture, In the painting department one room is ex- clusively reserved for the painting ot the lipe, whilst all other parts, suchas t eye- lashes and eyelids, the pink of the cheeks, etc., have each a separate room, where one part is done at a time.

Theer Are 8,000 Varieties of These Cards —Our Cards. From the Collector. There is a postal card card society of Amer- ica which has already a hundred members. It seems almost incredible that there should be 8,000 varieties of postal cards, but this is the extent clvimed for the Watson collection. These, however, include various issues of the same nation and denomination, and also cards issued for special occasions. Postal cards have been in circulation a lit - tle less than twenty-four years. The idea originated with Dr. Emanuel Hermann, a professor of natural economy atthe Imperial Academy of Wiener, in Nedstadt, Lower Austria. His ideas, under the head of New Means of Correspondence by Post, were published and attracted the attention cf the govern- ment officials. The director general of the posts took up the idea, and succeeded in having an issue of postal cards put in circu- lation in 1869. The original name given to the postal cars was the correspondence carte, and the has been retained ever since. This new move on the part of Austria quickly excited other countries to adopt a similar method of cor- respondence, and before the close of the — NY all the European countries were upon cards. Germany was really the second countries use them, and a special series was issued to the soldiers engaged in the Franco-German war. These were called the fleld post cor- respondence cards, and were sold and stamped tothe soldiers atthe rate of about five foracent. The soldiers had the privi- lege of using them without paying postage. Another series was issued to civilians. These had a piace left for a stamp, and the writer had to afllxa German postage stamp to the card before posting. These field post cards are now rare, the used ones bein scarcer than the unused ones. Another car of equal rarity, and also a reminder of the same war, isthe balloon postal card, issued by France during the siege of Paris. The cards were sent up from Paris in bal- loons, and the mail bags were thrown off into the surrounding country, where there was the least possible opportunity of their capture by the enemy. They were smaller than the postal card now in use, and were covered with warlike expressions, as ‘‘Paris defles the enemy“! Glory and conquest signify crimes, defeat signifies hate and a desire for vengeance.’’ Only one war is just and right—that for independence. The United States was rather back ward in adopting the postal card system, and did not use them until 1873. ‘The first issue printed were of a reddish color, with a head of liberty in the upper right hand corner. As a rule Uncle Sam's cards have been iu - ferior to those of other countries in excei- lence ofepgraving. The designs, also. have not been very artistic. The blue card bearing the portrait of Gen. Grant is the flnes men of art work issued by the Unit Government. 8 States Money Is Not So Scarée. From the Atlanta Constitution. A singular business mistake occurred in Columbus recently. A bookkeeper, by acci- dentally turning over two leaves of his led- ger, rendered a bill for $300 instead of $18, But the strangest part of itis that the bill for $300 was certified as correct by an em- ploye of the debtor, audited and was paid by check. The firm reeetving the check for $900 was surprised and on examination discovered the mistake and notified the other part made restitution of the $800 and ackepted check for $18 as their just claim. : — — wor er. — money is not so r that some people are in their business me hods. 1 Civilization and Barbarianism.

This is a wondertul age we are living in—a@ wonderful age, and this is a wonderful coun- try. It is doubtfal any of the effete Old World dynasties can produce such things, bordering on the miraculous, as are becom- ing almost everyday occurrences in this land of the free. A few days ago the press dispatches an- nounced that some fellow out in Missourt had discovered coal. There was nothing so remarkable about the fact that coal had been discovered. The remarkable feature of the Case is that this patricular quality of coal emits no smoke when burned. the report, you could build a fire of this “coal in the center of your parlor floor and be un- able to find a particle of smoke in the room.

Abouta year ago at his home in Fresno, Mr. Bahler suddenly saw the light of a lamp placed opposite to him on the other side of the room,and an ex- amination showed that new byeballs were growing onthe ends of the optic nerves.

Duncan Williams, a carpenter, was nearly killed by a fallthis morning. While he was at work onthe roof of a new building on Seventh street, he lost his hold and fell tothe ground, about thirty feet. He was picked up unconscious by his fellow-work- men and conveyedto his home, where a physician examined him. He had sustained a fracture of the left leg anda severe sprain of the right ankle, besides internal injuries. As it is not known how bad he is hurt internally, it cannot be stated whether his injuries are fatal. A carpenter who was working alongside of him at- tempted tosave him from falling, but was unable to do su, and barely escapeda fall in the endeavor. Joseph Buelman, a rag picker of Highland, III., complained tothe police 8 tha t he had been robbed of about inthe Green Tree Stable. The stable is in the rear of the Green Tree Saloon, at Broadway and Second street, andthe police claim it is the ren- dezvous for tough characters. Acting on the information of Buelman, the police arrested Thomas Kennedy and Thomas Stanton. The latter had a hearing and was discharged as Buelman could not identify him. Kennedy will have a hearing before Justice WIlson to- morrow Dominick McMarion, a resident of the island, applied to Justice Wyatt to-day for a warrant against his son-in-law, James Lynch. He claimed to bethe owner of a sa- loon on the island run by Lynch and stated that he had a quarrei about business matters last night with his son-in-law. The latter, he claimed, assaulted and beat him with his fists. Justice Wyatt issued a warrant for assault and battery.

Monday nicht was the time set to do the job and all that night the works were guarded by men with Winchesters. The dynamiters evidently had scouts out and the extra men about the {works frightened them away. Special policemen are still on guard nights at the Water-works. It is said the rsons who figured in the proposed plot are nown tothe police and that arrests will follow. DR. HOWARD AGAIN ARRESTED.

PARIS NOVELTIES. With a Hint as to Their American Ap- plication. The following notes are straight from Paris. They are given for what they are worth. Let nowoman be tempted to wear rose color, unless she has youth and the beauty ofa graduation class, Emerald green and rose color is the favor ite combination in Paris at the present mo- ment. A gown which attracted a good deal ofattention at a recent gathering had the body fashioned of pale rose tinted bengaline, and draped with a cape of cream guipure, while the revers and ceinture were of em- erald veloutine. The hat of russet straw was adorned with choux of green velvet. Not- withstanding the warm weather, scarlet still fnds a place in the mondaine’s ward- robe. Acurious gown of ombre veloutine displayed vivid red on the shoulders, which gradually changed till it became emerald- green at the hem of theskirt. The corselet was of passementerie, embroidered in gold, red and green beads: A capote with u beaded crown and trimmed in front with tufts of scarlet flowers, accom- panied this costume. There isa new and ef- fective kind of coarse net in black and color, which is made over a contrasting silk. In black it looks remarkably well over vieux rose or pure white. On the gown that we remember it was seen in a pinkish shade of of mauve barred with cream gulpure inser- tion and lined with yellow silk. he sleeves consisted of alternate flounces of yellow net and mauve peau de sole. With this dress was worn a little gold bonnet, with mercury wings in front and lace and roses. Make a Fernery. If you are a true city woman then there is no doubt that when you return from the country this summer you will bring with you a basketful of ferns. Of course they have been dug up by the rootsto be planted again when they reach town. Just how to use them in order that they may appear to best advantage is a problem. Here is a bamboo stand. Itis so made that a jardiniere may be held at the top and two small hanging baskets swing below. Inthe illustration the jardiniere and baskets are made of copper, and the copper is also com- bined with the bamboo as a rimming to the stand itself, More deiicate fern stands are made of pink or white enameled wood, wth the baskets in pink or pale green Germanchina.

Lost and Found. A young Baltimore lady who visited a mil- liner’s shop two months ago was ap ed on reaching home after her shopping tour to discover that she had lost one of her $1,000 diamond earrings. There was much weep- ing and 9 advertisements. The other Gay a lady residing in Alabama wrote tothe millinery firm that the bonnet which she had purchased of them had arrived safely. ana that she was particularly well pleased to find a diamond entangled in the lace trim- mings. She concluded her letter by saying she was anxiousto return the diamond to its owner. An Original Jacket Bodice.

It a man Gesires solitude let him go to the coast line of Suffolk, keeping well to the south of the great east coast watering places, where the common herd herds, To one of these hamlets Craven Lester went, keeping in mind the ex-sallor’s coun- sel anent the sea. He wandered on the un- compromising shingle. He sat on an oak gate and gazed out over the marsh with a certain patient waiting in his eyes. One Sunday evening he went to church, and Miss Marcia Oatville, the rector’s daughter, saw him without once looking in his direction. How she did this is not our business to inquire. It is only ours to note the fact and dumbly ad- mire the ways of maidenhood. The next day the old rector, Mr. Oatville, called. He was a tall old man, with a face like a benediction,’’ who seemed to have lived his life in some by-gone day and was patiently performing his daily duties in an- ticipation of an approaching holiday. He welcomed Lester to the parish with a kindly fervor that had no real sincerity in it and forebore from asking questions. He explained that he had seen him in church, and it was a pleasure to make the ac- quaintance of so cultivated a man ina rural district such as his, where education was a thing unknown, and, he added, with a mean- ing smile, ‘‘undesirable.’’ He glanced at the pile of books, at the open packet of ser- mon paper and the pen, but he said nothing and presently took his leave. Miss Marcia Oatville was an enterprising young lady, and in less than a fortnight she knew all about Craven Lester. She knew, for instance, that the inken curse was laid upon him; that he was never quite happy without a pen and sOmething to write upon. He found plenty to write about, but he had not yet found what the British public wanted to read. Finally hetold herof the incident in Myra’s Bar, which he vaguely described as a sort of club, and she said that she liked Sam Crozier. She had a way of leaning forward with her elbow on her knee and her chin within her hand. She had rather wistful, deep biue eyes, with dark lashes, and when she listen- ed to Cra ven Lester, she looked ina dreamy way past him—over his head—through the walls. It was evident that she liked to hear of this world which he had left behind—this world so full of men—young men with hopes and aspirations and and no wives. He could hardly tell hertoomuch about that world and of the men who formed it. She got to have likes and dislikes. She liked Sam Crozier—in fact, inasmall, subtle wir nto love him. She liked Tom Vali- lant. But she did not like the Irishman, and — ates the poet chiefly because he had a ushy beard. and, she said suddenly one day, have you begun to write the ** They were sitting on a piece of dritt wood the mainmast of some dead and forgotten ship—on the beach.

An illustrated periodical has aptly car- tooned the condition of this country in a picture representing Stewart as the repre- sentative of silver protection, and McKin- ley as the representative of tariff protec- tion, plucking the feathers out of the American eagle. Changing the cartoon so that it would show the gold bug and the silver extremist, fighting like mad for the privi- lege of saving the eagle, while the poor bird is being stripped by a protection wolf in the form of the dishonest Sherman law, would as aptly portray the money situa- tion in Congress. Both the gold monometallist and the silver extremist are fetich worshippers, and like all fetich worshippers will not listen to reason. The gold bug worships the golden calf as a money divinity and all who do not join him in his devotions are mad heretics. The silver extremist prostrates himself before the arbitrary ratio of 16 to 1 as a sacred thing and calls all who decline to do this silly act gold bugs. Contrary' to the traditions and acts of this Government, to the constitution which empowers Con- gress to fix the value of coined money, to the platforms of both leading parties, which demand the coinage of both metals on an equal basis of intrinsic and inter- changeable values, he insists that any basis but this ratio is hurtful and villain- ous. He interprets all the utterances of past leaders in favor of bimetallism as in- dorsements of a fixed ratio, something un- dreamt of by them. Meanwhile the country is being wrecked by the operation of the vicious Sherman makeshift. The mass of the people of this country demand honesty in money legisla- tion. There is no safety outside of this basis. The Sherman law is a dishonest measure and the essential preliminary to getting onan honest basis and restoring confidence is its removal. Repeal the Sherman law and appoint a monetary commission to inquire into and report upon the relative values of gold and silver as a basis for determining the true ratio. Thisisthe way of sanity and good sense. It is the way to honest bi- metallism, by which alone disaster may be averted and permanent prosperity secured. — IT DOES NOT CONSIST. The following editorial paragraph is clipped from a New York organ of Mr. Andrew Carnegie: The Republican party, by protecting Amer- ican inaustry from the pauper competition of Europe and Asia, has given the American workingman a chance to maintain his self- respect and to command the respect of others. Protection has kept the American wage earner in circumstances that made it possible for him to rise, notintoa higher class—for no higher or more honorable class could exist—but to affluence and indepen- dence. The successful employers of to-day were mostly workingmen yesterday, and, indeed, they are workingmen still, only their work isin a different sphere. They would never think of affecting to look down upon theiremployes as of a different class from themselvos. There is nothing remarkable in this. We have heard something like it before. But in the news columns of the same paper we are informed through three highly illus- trated columns that the poor of New York are in a desperate situation. They literally have not where to lay their heads, being not so well off in this respect as the street car mules. During the months of Febru- ary, March, April, May, June and July, according to this authority, 17,855 eject- ment suits were entered and blood-curd- ling stories are told of the horrors of evio- tions which make the lot of the Irish peasant seem happy by contrast. Now, has protection kept those 17,855 | statutes families in circumstances that made it possible for them to rise?’’ Can oman maintain his self-respect and command the respect of others when he and his family a month the majority ‘ot —— | ) be necessary to notice | success. a3 Me ees, 4 7. m 4 a . better off than the these amazing elaims for class legislation, but the vice is not yet out of the blood of Americans, and a strong minority still bo- lieve that privileges and mghts may exist side by side in the same community. It is still held that everybody can be made prosperous if afew are made rich. Such ideas die hard because ‘‘there is money in them.’’ The paragraph quoted is worthy the protectionist in his best days, but it does not consist’’ with the news in the same paper. WHO SHOULD HELP THEM! One of the most serious consequences of the distress now prevailing all over the country is the growth of socialistic senti- ment stimulated by an empty stomach. There isnothing like hunger to make 4 man think, and when in that condition he usually thinks darkly. Labor organizations demand that the Government take care of the idle by mak- ing work for them; that is, by undertaking public enterprises which are not needed in order that the unemployed may earn bread. In this they do no.more than follow the example set by the manufacturers who have for 80 many years demanded help from the Government. If Uncle Sam is to help one Class it follows logically that he must help all others, and if the bounty grabbers who have grown rich out of paternalistic legislation are consistent they will sup- port the workingmen’s demand with all their strength. But the one demand is as irrational, un- American and un-democratic as the other. If there is an idea which can be called distinctively the American idea, it is that the individual ought to rely solely upon himself without aid or hindrance from the Government. To listen to these claims for help at this time would be to perpetuate the blunder of special privileges which we are trying to correct. The relief of these people should be left to private benevolence? The only busi- ness of the Governmentin the premises is to ascertain the cause of the trouble and root it out. — * — * SAFEGUARDS “NEEDED. When one building association secretary can carry on crooked transactions involv- ing thousands of dollars, and another can strip an association to the bare walls of its office, leaving nota scrap of paper as the evidence of an asset, the necessity for some measure of protection for the inno- cent shareholders of these concerns is thoroughly demonstrated. The story of the work of Mrs. K. C. Blood in the Common Sense Building Association indicates a bold and unscrupu- lous looting of a corporation which is simply astounding. The co-operative association in this case, with its board of directors and list of officials, was appar- ently a mere show, a trap used for swindling purposes by one person and that person a woman capable of only the crudest methods of business dishonesty. Taken in connection with the operations of Bogard, who pulled the wool over the eyes of several boards of directors, it shows that under present conditions these asso- ciations may afford opportunities to am- bitious and unscrupulous officials to rob shareholders and otherwise profit by dis- honesty. The unchecked power which 10 entrusted to secretaries or other managing officials or which they may acquire by in- fluence or manipulation isa menace to the interests of stockholders and to the exist- ence of the association system. The building association was designed for the especial benefit of the poorer classes. Its appeal lies to the widow, the clerk of slender salary and the toiler for daily wage. These people are least able to protect themselves or to bear wrong. When properly managed the association is useful, but this usefulness may be im- paired or wholly destroyed by dishonest manipulation. The fact that the mass of associations are ably and honestly con- ducted does not offset the fact that oppor- tunity is afforded for dishonest manage- ment. The opportunity for rascality is the thing to be guarded against. The interests of the people demand pro- tection from the dishonest association. The interests of the honestly-managed as- sociations demand the strictest safeguards against dishonesty in association manage- ment. All interests demand careful in- spection and legal regulation of associa- tion enterprises. — . Iw his speech before the Iowa Democratic Convention yesterday Mr. Henry Vol- mer, Temporary Chairman, said some very plain things on the subject of prohi- bition which afford a marked contrast with the shuffling utterances of the Re- publicans.

He says this vast sum of money is poured into the channels of trade and finds its way to the pockets of the people. But where does it come from? This Government does not loot other Governments, and has no alchemy by which to fill its coffers except the alchemy of taxation, which takes it from the pockets of the people. When the pension money returns to the channels of trade and the pockets of the people it simply goes back, because it has been earned over again, to the source from which it was taken. This money of the people is withheld from them while it is passing through the hands of Government officials, and some of it never gets back to the original owners. The pensioning of old soldiersisa duty, but never a national blessing, and every dollar wrongfully taken and distributed is clear ebbery. THE Senate yesterday dent to the foot of the calendar a resolution prompting the Comptroller of the Curreucy to close na- tional banks that refuse to pay currency on depositors’ checks. It was admitted the banks are not keeping within the law and could be thrown into the hands of a receiver for some things they are now com- pelled to do in the interest and with the consent of the business community. But that would only make matters worse than they are, and the Government should be careful about taking any such step just at present. The depositors, in the mean- time, have their remedy, and can, if they choose, force the banks to either honor checks or go into bankruptcy. A New York bank refused to pay the United States Express Co.’s check for $8,000 the other day, whereupon the company took it to a notary and had it protested. The bank then promptly paid the check and the notary fees besides.

Cosmopolitan Collection of Instru- ment of Destruction Represented—A _ Grand Parade to the Martial Music of Doors of Bands—A Crush of Visitors— - World's Fair News. _ Wortp’s Fam Grovunps, Aug. 24.—Mars, the bloody god of war, was in the ascendant atthe White City in Jackson Park to-day. It was Illinois Day and warriors from almost @very nation of the earth, equipped with in- struments of death and destruction, were there and they paraded through the beauti- fulthoroughfares to the time of patriotic played by scores of martial bands. of thousands of people were here from every clime to witness the parade and other Wonderful events of the day. The sun had scarcely risen like a ball of fire through the morning mists of Lake Michigan when the Soldiers began to muster for the day’s pa- Fade. As they marched past the Lake Front Park to the trains for the World's Fair Groundsthe hundreds of unemployed men Who were sleeping there on the soft but father damp dark green grass rose and looked wonderingiy on. The laborers and clerks and shop girls and business men going to perform their day’s duties stopped and looked, and so did the weary night tollers, who were on their way home. The grand White City never looked more Deautiful than it did to-day. All night long workmen were busily employed in decorating and preparing the palacesof art and sclence and trade for the reception of the multitudes who came here to take part or to witness the ®vent gotten up in honor ofthe day of the proud Prairie State. Bright colored banners floated from the 10,000 peaks and pinnacles and waved gayly in the refreshing breeze that blew from offthe lake. The men at the gates were reinforced this morning in antic!- But even with the additional help the gatemen had more than they could do to keep the thousands of applicants for admission from congregating outside the 800 stiles. From each of the gates the multitudes poured into the grounds like & mighty stream through a breach in a dam and scattered out over the broad expanse until the grounds ere almost black Visitors began to as the gates the and the sur- cked with people that even the proverbial sardine would have found it uncomfortably crowded in almost any ofthe cars running to the Fair rrom 8 o’clock in the morning until long after noon. There was then a lull in the vast stream of humanity. But it only lasted for a short time, when it was renewed by hundreds and thousands of people leaving their work down town to come out and see the night’s display. The duy’s entertainment began with a parade of the Iilinois National Guarda, 5,000 strong, leading the way for the savages and barbarians of the Midway Plaisance. The State militia marched into the Midway Plais- ance from the west entrance and passed down the wonderful thorovghtare in com- pany-front order to the main, grounds of the White City, and as they moved by the natives of each village fellin behind. First came the Redonins, riding camels and high-spirited Arabian horses. They were allowed nearly a thousand feet of space, and as the parade moved along those mounted on horses rode Dack and forth at full gallop with their snow- white robes fluttering in the breeze, whirling their lang spears about and dis. playing wonderful feats of horsemanship. After the Bedouins came the Laplanders from the frigid zones with their reindeer, and then came the cannibals of Dahomey. They were the most vicious and ferocious looking warriors inthe parade. They were attired as if going out to battle. The King, a huee black fellow in fantastic attire, was in the lead. On his head was a sort of helmet surmounted with a pair of ram’s horns. He carried a great war club, which he flourished wildly as he need about shouting in a savage frenzy, while his followers sang a wild war song and beat tom-toms and acted like demons. Hang ing down the front of the cannibal King’s breast was a peculiar looking protector, made of polished human vones, and around his neck was an ornament of human The Chinese, with dragon, 60 ca me It was made of paperon a bamboo frame and carried by twenty Mongolians. Nothing but their feet coulda seen, and the horrid thing moved Along in a — 2 — life-like manner. Strangely attired musicians performing on instruments no less strange accompanied the dragon, and the music, if such it can be called, was ear-splitting in theextreme. A band of savage Sioux from tke wilds of the West, in war paint and feathers, followed the Chinese, and after them came the Bouth Sea Isianders. Then in turn came the Hawatians, the Persians, the Egyptians with their camels and donkeys, the Forks, the Moors, the Swiss horn blow ers, Hagenback's lions, the atives of Japore, the Algerians and the inhabitants of the Irish and German Villages. In the main grounds they were joined by the Italian marinos, the British soldiers and the West Point cadets. It wasastrangely wonderful sight and itis doubtful if ite like has ever been witnessed in the world before or if any- one who saw it will ever see its like again. There were soldiers armed with the most lements of death and warriors ludgeons, spears and bows and ws parading peacefully together. It is doubtful if another such assemblage of races has been seen since the confusion of tongues atthe Tower of Babel. The parade was led dy Gov. Altgeld and his staf until it reached the [Illinois Building, where they dropped out, and the Governor reviewed the procession from the front portico as it passed. When the savages had returned to their tempora homes at the Midway Piaisance and the civilized warriors *podern im th crude had broken ranks, the ‘‘con ss of rough riders of the world“ trom Buffalo Bill’s Wild West appeared and paraded through the s.

The weapon in the case, a 38- caliber revolver,:was used by Schmidt, who first shot his wife in the back just below the right shoulder blade, and then put a bullet through his left breast, which resulted in al- most instantaneous death. The tragedy was caused by drink and Gespondency on the part of the husband, the wife having left him last Friday to live with her brother, and absolutely re to ro- turn to him when he asked her y rday. Prior to the separation, Schmidt, with his wifeandtwo children, a gir! aged 8 years and a boy aged 7 months. lived at 1304 St. An ge avenue witba sister of Mrs. Schmidt, who owns the house. About five months ago Schmidt gave up a position as janitor in the Security Building to go into the saloon business at McNair ave- nue and Pestalozzi street. About two months ago he sold his interest there for $1 ,000 and after the payment of a number ot debts found himself without money and without employment. He then began todrink and quarrel with his wife, which resultedin her leaving him and taking their two children with her to her brother’s house at Leduc and Marcus avenues. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Schmidt visited her sister Meta, at 1804 St. Ange avenue, and there she met her husband, who greeted her and the children lovingly and later took the children for a car ride. Returning he went up stairs with themand called his wife, who was below with her sister, to come to them. Mrs. Schmidt’s sister says she heard Schmidt imploring his wife to return and live with him again, which she refused to do. Shethen heard angry words, followed by a pistol shot. Rushing up-stairs, she was zust in time to catch her sister, who stag- gered into the hall and was about to fall. Simultaneously there was another shot from within the room and the sound of a falling boay. Officer Dalton and some neighbors who ar- rived on the scene entered the room and found Schmidt lying dead across the bed with the revolver lying dy hisside. His re- mains were taken to the Morgue. Drs. A. K. and Henry E. Hartmann were at once summoned to Mrs. Schmidt’s ald, and after probing the wound, located the ball in the right breast, from which it was ex- tracted. They say the wound is not neces- sarily fatal. AN UNFAIR FIGHT. Johnnie Tiernan’s Father Takes a Hand in a Go Between His Son ani F. Schoppe. John Tiernan, who teaches the members of the Western Rowing Association how to wield the oar, is the hero of an incident which does not place him in an enviable light if the charges against him be proven. According to the story on which a sum- mons was issued for Tiernan’s arrest, John- nie Tiernan, his son, and another 7-year-old poy named Freddie Schoppe, were playing together when a member ofthe Western Rowing Club named Kissock or Cassick made the little fellows Hght. Schoppe had ‘*downed’’ his little antagonist and was holding him when Tiernan, chancing along, told his own boy to bite young Schoppe. This he would not do, and Tiernan taking Schoppe by the arm lifted him from off his son and struck him with bis open hand across the face so violently as to loosen the chiid’s teeth and to render him unconscious. He was rebuked by several members of his club who were preseat who took the little fellow to the river and washed the blood from his face. A 77-year-old brother of young Schoppe remonstrated with Tiernan for striking a little child like that and was knocked down for his pains. Mr. Schoppe took out a warrant for Tier- nan's arrest.

He has several counties yet to pay off, and they will all get their money. SOLVENT. A Thief at Bay. While Tony Mosconi, a clerk in John Mus- sey's grocery at Tenth and Walnut streets, was filling an order for candles for two strangers last night at 8 o'clock, he discov- ered,a third man rifling the money drawer of the saloon in the rear. The thief drewa re- volver and fied, pursured by Mosconi, Mussey and a crowd of neighbors.

When the Assault Began Babcock Filed, But Wot Before Recefving Several Blows—He Refuses to Discuss the Case —Senator McGinnis’ Son Stricken— Carondelet News. About dusk last evening the residents in the neighborhood of Krauss street and Michigan avenue witnessed an exciting encounter be- tween avery determined little lady of the blonde type and Mr. R. A. Babcock, a Caron- delet masher. The lady came down Michigan avenue and Mr. Babcock came up Krauss street and met her at the corner. A short conversation followed in low tones and then the lady raised her parasol and struck him several blows across the face and neck before he fully re- alized what had happened. When he did he took to his heels, but his face was so well marked that he will be recognized in Caron- delet or anywhere he may go as having had an adventure. The lady stood her ground, trembling with rage and disappointment that he should have gotten away so easily. Acrowd soon gathered and among them some of her friends, who hurried heraway. A lady who is an intimate friend of hers was seen. She refused to give her name, but stated that the lady was married and lived in the vicinity of St. Anthony’s Church. The same lady volunteered the information that Babcock had met the lady of the parasol ata euchre party some time ago, and that he had since circulated slanderous reports about er. Babcock was seen in a saloon on Broadway last night, where he was endeavoring to drown his chagrin in the flowing bowl. He was in a very bad humor and refused to discuss the evening’s encounter or to answer any ques- tions. The lady is about 25 years old and of very modest and lady-lixe appearance. Her friends state that she does not want the mat - ter made public and will therefore not pros- ecuts. STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS. Dr. F.

SPIRITUALISTS IN CAMP. Address Made and Seances Held During the Meeting at Liberal. LIBERAL, Mo., Aug. 2.—The Interstate Spiritualist Camp-meeting has one of the largest attendance ever present at any an- neal meeting of this association. Quite a number of Spiritualists arrived yesterday, and they still continue to pitch their tents in Catalpa Park. The Progressive Spiritualist Association of the State of Missouri held an interesting meeting all day. Dr. L. N. Hendricks of Springfleld called the meeting to order, Quite a number of important spiritualistic topics were discussed, Delegates from every part of Missouri were in attendance. C. Thompson, the State Spiritualist organizer and lecturer, was present and delivered an address shcwin the work that had been done in the past year and what could be done by perfecting a permanent organ .za- tion to promote and advance the Spiritualist cause, The association has made arrangement to receive a number of the Eastern and West- ern dailies, besides a number of periodicals each day for the library halls. Mrs. Anna Robinson of Michigan gave a test seance last night, which was well attended. To-day Prof. W. R. Colby of Creston, Io., delivers the opening lecture, followed by Lyman ©. Howe of New York, and Mrs. Anna Robinson of Michigan. THEN WHY RAID THEM? Mr. Estep Says the Police Had No Evi. dence About Tuesday's Prize Fight. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Estep was asked to-day by a Post-DIsPpaTtcu reporter to give his reasons for refusing to issue & warrant against the persons arrest- ed on Tuesday night on the Clay- ton road, near Taylor avenue, on a charge of alding and abettihg a prize fight. The section covering this offense is No, 8757 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, which makes it an offense against the State to ald or abet in a prize fight, but also to par- one in making preparations for a prize ght. Mr. Estep said that the reason he refused the warrants was that the police had no in- formation tbat an offense of any kind had been committed. No prize-fight had taken place, and the police had no evidence, Mr. Estep stated, that any preparations for one had deen made. An assemblage of men had been found by the police for the supposed purpose of witnessing a prize fight. That was all the evidence the police had, Estep stated. In view of the fact that the police had in- formation that a fight would take place, and knew thattickets had been sold, and after- wards found the gloves, the ring and all the paraphernalia of a prize fight, Mr. Estep's position is very peculiar. AN OLIVER TWIST. ‘‘shorty” Walker Steals a Hat While Sell- ing a Pair of Shoes. An amusing incident was brought out to- day inthe Prosecuting Attorney’s office in the application fora warrant. Frank, alias ‘*Shorty’’ Walker, was arrested at 8:30 o’clock this morning on a charge of steal- ing a pair of shoes valued at 82.80 from Louis Sundburg at No. 8 Market street, at 4:30 o'clock M afternoon. There were two others with alker, but they are A warrant was issued against morning shortly after mis arrest. In a short time after the warrant was issued Henry Solomon, who Keeps a second-hand store at 101 South Levee, called at the Prosecuting Attorney’s and wanted to get a warrant against Walker. Solomon said that he had bought the shoes from Walker for 78 cents, and that while Walker was selling him the shoes he stole a cap worth $1.25. The warrant was refused. Before ap- potas for the warrant Solomon call at Capt. aya’s office to identify Walker. Solomon was taken into the holdover, and Walker brought out of his cell. Before he could be prevented, Walker sprang on Solomon and assaulted him. When the warrant was refused for stealing the cap Solomon wanted a warrant against Walker for as- saulting him. Solomon left the Prosecuting Attorney's office in anything but an enviable frame of mind, To add to_his misfortunes he had to give up the shoes. not arrested. Walker this A BETTER OUTLOOK. Financial Conditions Believed to Be Im- proving: A telegram was received on change from New York to-day, asking what the financial condition in this city was. The following reply was sent by Vice-President Annan: The financial situation in St. Louls is improving. Our banks continue to pay currency to depositors and tosupply the legitimate needs of their cus- mers. Grain and provisions are movisg more ety, and carrying charges decreasing. Jobbing houses report improved business. While finences are not easy, we see reason for a more encouraging view of the situation. Those of the directors who saw the tele- gram approved its contents.

Jarvis was t penitentiary seven years shootin a man named Fulton in St. uls County. He did not kill the man he sald. He had $183 when he entered the penitentiary, he said, and this was taken from him and returned to him esterday when released, together with $4.50 nterest. He came to St. Louis and met Scruggins who, Jarvis stated, made him drunk and robbed him. Jarvis had §7.50 on him when arrested. He saidthat a gold watch was also taken from him, Jarvis was taken tothe Prosecuting Attor- ney’s office this morning and allowed to swear out a warrant against Scruggins. Shortly afterwards he was identified by Detective C. H. Arshambault as a man he arrested seven years ago for holda- ing up and robbinga farmer named Meister near Carondelet. It was for this offense that he was sent to the penitentiary. He was given twelve years, but was pardoned after serving seven. He pleaded guilty tothe robbery and the other charges were dismissed. There were a number of other charges of highway robbery and burglary against him. In 1885 a letter was received from New Orleans icture and asking he names given in was Gus Bernard, alias Gus Roberts alias Gustave Garvaise. Chief of Detectives Des- mond wired New Orleans to know if the man is wanted there still on any charge. “GRANDMA” MONROE. Oldest Resident of the Memorial Home Passes Away. Mrs. Rhoda L. Monroe, whose maiden name was Ewing, died yesterday morning at Me- morial Home, on Magnolia and Grand ave- nues, aged 9% years. Mrs. Monroe was born in New Jersey in 179 and moved to Cincinnati, O., in the °30s. Her first husband, a Mr. Sheldon, died of cholera in 1852, and some years afterward she married John Monroe and removed with him to St. Louis. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe en- tered Memorial Home for aged people eleven years ago, having been among the frst to enter it after its erection. Here her husband died six years ago. Grandma Monroe, so called because she was the oldest resident of Memorial Home, was chiefly remarkable for her retentive memory, not only retaining incidents of childhood’s years but being very keen on events of recent occurrence. She well re- membered the war of 1812 and the hardships engendered by those stirring times. Frontier pioneer life was ever graphically described by her when she had an interested auditor, She was a great favorite with all visitors to the Home where extreme age is the rule rather than the exception. She will be buried to-morrow at 10 0’clock in the German Evangelical Cemetery of St. Peter’s by the side of her husband. She had outlived her relatives except some grandchilaren who live on Singleton street near Fifteenth street. Dr. J. B. Glancies, late State President of the American Protective Association, died at his home, 1345 Wright street, at 5:80 p. m., on Tuesday, Aug. 22. Dr. Glancies wasa practicing oculist and aurist, but was chiefly noted for his connec- tion with the political society commonly al- luded to as the A. P. A. His funeral will be delayed until Sunday to ad ofthe arrival of relatives from New ork. It could not be definitely ascertained if the funeral will be conducted under the auspices of the organization to which he belonged, At his residence no biographical sketch of the departed could be obtained.

Position of the Merchants’ Exchange in Regard to the Silver Convention. The Merchants’ Exchange finds itself in ratheran embarrassing situation in regard to the silver convention to be held here, be- ginning Oct. 8 A large number of the dele- gates are from sections of the cougtry that furnish St. Louis with a great proportion of its trage. Others have been dealing in Chi- cago, but owing to what was considered the cool reception given them in that city, are anxious to transfer their custom to St. Louis. The wishof the convention is that the Merchants’ Exchange shall be rep- resented by delegates at the convention. But just here a difficulty occurs, One of the main objects of the convention ig to prevent the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act. The St. Louis Merchants’ Exchange has taken very strong ground in favorof such repeal. Not only were resolutions passed 1 Congress to uncondition he chasing Clause, but the sent official telegrams to each Missouri Sena- tor and Representative, ear requesting them to vote for the repeal. re are many who do not see how the Merchants’ Ex- change, as au organization, can repre- sented in a convention the avowed purpose of which is to oppose what the Exchange has endeavored tocarry through.

WILL PASS A DIVIDEND, NEW YORK, Aug, 24.—The directors of the Thurber-Whyland company have decided to pass their semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent on their preferred stock. President T. B.

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC Will Not Be Represented at the Mesting of Transcontinental Lines.

An official of the road who was asked what the Canadian Pacific would do con- cerning the possibie outcome of the meeting, replied: We are just going to attend to our own business, For the present we will make rates to suit our interests, and those who were so eager to disturb tariffs may, so far as we are concerned, fry in their own tat. sie BEECHAM’S PILLS cure indigestion and con- stipation.

Good Taste Demands the Use of the Full Christian Name When Possible. The newspapers note a marked tendency toward the use of the full Christian name in books and standard publications, and in so- cial matters. One now seldom sees the name of an author on the title page of a new book with the mere initials. Ralph Waldo Emer- son practically began this in the United States, and even Thomas Wentworth Higginson’s later books have fol- lowed this pian of signature. The full name is impracticable in newspaper work, says the Champaign Gazette, especially when there are two or more; but in cases where there is but one single Christian name, both on account of the appearance and for the sake of certainty, it is highly important that it should be given in full. No witha good eye or ear can be satisfied to see or hear such a name as C. Sharp or J. Jones, not to mention J. Smith, and the number of names that appear tn this slipshod manner in the newspapers is something surprising. The explanation is that reporters find it next to an impossibility to obtain names correctly because every hasa large number of acquaintances concerning whomno occasion has arisen for learning the full and correct names. An intolerable abomination also is the abbreviation of such names as John, James. Joseph and Charles into Jno., Jas., Jos., and Chas. Not less oe is the habit of mentioning in print the familiar names of elderly people with the prefix of „uncle, ‘‘aunt,’’ Frandfather, grand- mother,’’ ‘‘squire,’’ and the like. This class of people may be deferentially mentioned as Mr. or Mrs., followed by the correct initials, where there aretwo or more, or with the first Christian name always spelled out where there is but one and preferably so if there are two.

Milk Inspector Sullivan is still pushing his crusade against the venders of impure milk. This morning he prosecuted F. W. Pettker of Eighth and 0O’Fallion streets, and Joseph Tegethof of of Tenth and O’Fallon streets, before Judge Paxson for selling adulterated "milk, and each was fined $10. The case against John Powers is spending the and F. Sillen was continued until Sept. with 1, to give Senator Stone time to file a brief in which he will endeavor to convince Judge Paxson that his case should be quashed, as the court, it is alleged, has no jurisdiction in the premises. Both Pettkerand Tegethoff endeavored to shitt the responsibility of adulteration on the dairymen, claiming that they sold the milk inthe same condition as they purchased it from the dairies. Judge Paxson was inclined to believe thatthe men were — — guilty and assessed the lowest ne There ig a gravity instrument called an Wrometer which is use by all the large dairies in testing the qualities of their milk, as they receive it from the coun- try, and it occurred to a PoOST-DISPATCH re- porter that the same instrument might be used by the retailers as is done in London, Paris and New York. The introduction of such an instrument —.— direct the responsibility to the re- ller. Dr. Sullivan, when approached on the sub- ject, said: ‘*Yes, there is such an instru- ment; its cost is ‘small, about 50 cents, and anyone of moderate intellect can use it to determine the quality of the milk, If it were used the retailer would have no excuSe for selling watered milk, ln my rounds I find that there are a great peo who sell milk and who know nothing whatever about its sanitary keeping. Ihave found milk cans among a lot of decaying ani- mal and vegetable matter, the odors ema- nating from wh were poisonous and contaminate the milk. 1 that a law requiring that milk be kept under certain sanitary conditionsis needed as much as the law against adulteration. ’’ Judge Paxson has advised Inspector Sul- livanto proceed against the large dairies who sell impure milk and to use the retallers to whom they sold as witnesses.

THE WELCOME HANDICAP WILL BE THE OPENING DAY FRATURE. A Splendid Field Will Contest in the Event—Monmouth Methods — Track and Steble Gossip—Jack Dempsey's Queer Actions—Cycling in England— General Eporting News. The initial fail meeting of the St. Louis Jockey Club will be inaugurated Saturday afternoon at the Fair Grounds, with Clint R. Reilly of Chicago as presiding judge, Oapt. Billy Williamson of Memphis, assistant, Jas. B. Ferguson of Lexington, Ky., starter, and Frank Shaw of St. Paul, Major Domo of the betting ring. Messrs. Reilly and Williamson repiace Joseph J. Burke and L. W. Hatch, while Starter Ferguson succeeds Jimmy Mc- Laughlin, who came to this point last spring after Caldwell was called back to Guttenburg. Mr. Shaw bas managed the betting ring the last two seasons. 0 The feature of Saturday’s card will be the Weilcomeh andicap, for all ages, at one mile. The $1,000 guaranteed money to this event is expected to be contested for by such good ones as Dr. Rice, Bonnie Bird, Guido, Service, St. Joe, Bolivar Buckner, Misty Morn, Prince Kinney, Lucille Manette, Bel- fast, Invercauld and Safe Home, If class counts for anything, andthe great majority of turfites are convinced it does, Fred Foster will pull down the event with his crack 8- year-old Dr. Rice. Dan Lamasney, however, thinks his son of imp. Woodlands, Service, will make Foster’s colt run, while W. H. Babb is sure old Guido will hustle the win- ner. Capt. Billy Williamson is not saying much, but on the quiet he makes no secret of the fact that he is very sweet on the chances of his colt Prince Kinney. Levy's Bolivar Buckner and the Washington Fark track scorcher, Bonnie Bird, have their admirers. Dr. Bernays’ Belfast and Marley Kettleman’s St. Joe have been let in rather light and should not be lost sight of when the bunch gotothe post. The race will, no doubt, attractas much attention locally as the special sweepstake affair the same day at Hawthorne between Morello, Yo Tambien and Ethel Gray will in Chicago. While the stringency in the money market all over the country has affected racing this suumer, on both the Eastern and Western circuits, the coming fall meeting is expected to prove a success, as both local tracks that have been running all the summer have been extensively patronized. During the meeting the Messrs. Tattersalls of New Tork, through their agent, Mr. Wm. B.Fasig,will conduct sales of thoroughbreds, trotters, coachers and hackneys. THE WAY THEY DO AT MONMOUTH. « Denials from President Walcott will not dispel the belief of disruption in the Board of Control. The squabble between the mem- bers is alleged to have been caused by Mri Dwyer’s refusal to countenance the expul- sion of hostile newspaper writers from the board tracks. That is only one of many rea- sons. A. H. Morris has retired from the active management of the Monmouth track because Mike Dwyer, it is said, changed the conditions of races onthe programme after Mr. Morris had arranged them. Mr. Dwyer, report has it, is not the only one who has a hand in conditioning and alloting weghts for the Monmouth races. It is freely assert- ed that Trainer Hardy Campbell arranged the conditions for Monday’s programme at Monmouth. As Messrs. Dwyer, Walcott and Morris divided up the six races between them Mr. Campbell evidently knew a good thing when he hadit. This puts racing at Mon- mouth on a level with Hawthorne. The newspaper men have written these things and the racing czars have found out that they cannot exclude them from their tracks for telling the truth. LOCAL RACING RESULTS.

Mike Hogan, who was ruled off at Saratoga Monday, after an investigation which im- plicated him in the pulling of his horse Tam- many Hall inthe fifth race that afternoon, is wellknown in this city. His jockey, Pat - ton, who it is said came from this city with him, was also ruled off, while the unfortu- nate horse was treated to a dose of the same medicine. Hogan is charged with going around the ring previous tothe race and of fering to stop his horse for a cash considera- tion. The animal was the favorite in the betting, but was choked off in the race and itis presumed Hogan did not lose anything — the job. came to this city the , part of last winter and raced Tammany Hall, which was the only horse he owned, at the course across the river. Previous to his arrival here ne raced the horse at Gloucester and Guatten- burg. He remained at East Side until the Fair Grounds — ye | was inaugurated, when he came Overtothis point.

Applications for stable roum at the course across the river are coming in fast and ° rious. The track management is in a * dary as to just where they will quarter the new comers. The stabling capacity of the course has been filled to overfiowing all sum- mer. iue Fast St. Louis Jockey Club inaugurates its fall meeting next«Monday. J. W. Brooks is the **Poo Bah’’ of the course across the river. Mr. Brooks is sup- posed to be the General Manager and Assist- ant Judge of the track, but during Judge Carter’s absence be officiates as Presiding Judge, and next Monday he will replace Starter Dwyer, who goes away for a two weeks’ vacation. Brooks says the first of- ficial position heever held on a race track was that of starter. This was several years ago, but the genial J. W. thinks he is nota bit ray 7 and although Ze is too modest to say so, he hasany amount of confidence in his ability to give satisfaction until Dwyer returns. Col, Jack Chinn, so well known in the West, visited Monmouth recently, but he says the track has lost its glory. Lou should have seen me at the old Monmouth track in 1885 when Ban Fox wonthe Junior Cham- pionship for me. I got up in the box and yell- ed as Only a Southerner can yell. Those were great days at Monmouth.’’ 90 **Garfield Park will not be allowed to run. says Mayor Harrison of Chicago. ‘‘I have fought it for years and finally closed it up- I will not now, as Mayor, grant a license Elv- ing the club life. Speaking of Frank Jordan,a Chicago writer says: The tough little stable boy from St. Louis who generally loses races, except when riding some of the Kendall stable ‘sure win- ners,’ succeeded in losing this race to Pic- colo after an attempt at a finish with First Ward at Hawthorne Monday.’’ This promises to bea gala night at South Side. There are five races on the card, in- cluding the race for the ».echanics’ cup and the race in which only gray and white horses will be allowed to start. The owner of the winning horse in the race for the Mechanics’ cup gets atrophy of solid silver worth §300 and a $150 purse. The winning jockey will be Presented with a magnificent floral horse shoe. The race in which gray and white horses only will be allowed to start promises to be a most interesting event. Commencing to-night all Fair Grounds badges will be recognized at South Side. NOT SO LUCKY AFTER ALL. A Little Figuring on Base Ball Men ana Railroad Accidents. There are about 120 base ball players in the National League, each of whom travels about 10,000 milesayear. That is equivalent to one man traveling 1,200,000 milesayear. During the eighteen years’ existence of the National League it is safe to say thatits players have ridden on railroads to the extent of 12,000,000 miles as individually estimated, and in this 12,000,000 miles one representative traveler of the National has deen injured once. premium of 25 cents any traveler can secure an insurance policy on his life against death by accident for twenty-four hours in the sum of $3,000. It is presumablie that this premium is at least about twice as large as the risk. If, therefore, a 25-cent premium is equal toa $6,000 risk on a day's travel the passenger should travel 24,000 days and nights before he is injured. On an average trains run 800 miles in a day of twenty-four hours, and would run 19,200,000 miles in the 24,000 days, or one-third more than the percentage in the Ryan estimate. Mr. O. P. Caylor thus figures it out that the dase ball players are no luckier as travelers than are ordinary, everyday people. WILD PITCHING DID IT. The Browns pounded Mullane hard enough to win two victories, but no amount of batting could earn enough runs to keep up with the generosity of Pitchers Hamley and Gleason. Clarkson presented the Orioles with three runs in the first inning before they had knocked the ball out of the diamond. Hamley took his place and did little better. The Baltimores earnedone outof thirteen runs and yet none of the Browns, outside of the battery, had a fielding error, except Shugart. The ex-short stop supplanted Crooks at third and, as usual, fell all over himself in attempting to field grounders. Dowd, Frank and Werden did the tallest slugging forthe Browns, while Mullane hit safely every time he came to bat. The score: Baltimore 13, St. Louis 10. Base hits—Balti- more 146, St. Louis 17.

Racing, Wis., Aug. 24.—Jack Dempsey, the pugilist, and his wife, or at least a man claiming to be Jack Dempsey, arrived here last night and the man is evidently not in his right mind. He went out and indulged heavily tn liquor and yesterday morning he im- nammed a woman out of $20. When the police went after him he leaped from a car- riage and a lively foot race ensued. He escaped into the country, told afarmera wild story and induced the granger to give him a ride to town. The police fMfnally captured him and his wife succeeded in x- ing up the trouble. He said that he came here forthe purpose of going into training forafight, but refused to say with whom. The officers and others believe he is insane. At present he is at a hotel and hiswife will make an effort to get him into Obicago. THE CHIVALROUS PUGS. **Buffalo’’ Costello’s recent feat“ of lick- ing a woman has caused an Eastern scribe to call for his banishment from all reputa- ble clubs. The Chicago News, in commenting on this judgment, asserts: **This is laugha- ble. History says that Jobn ©. Heenan whipped his wife, Adah Isaacs Menken; that John L. Sullivan was not above wife- beating; that Jack McAuliffe struck a woman in the streets of New York, andthe general suppo- sition is that the average prize fighter is just that sort of a brute, In one country only, from the days of Oastor and Pollux un- til the present, has the prize fighter been a hero, and that is America.“ CYCLING VS.

A Scheme by Which the Manipulators Woula Clear $4,000,000. Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 24-—-There was a scheme of the hop buyers of New York and London to comer the whole output of the Pacific Coast, which is some 150,000 bales, while the European yield is light. They schemed to alvance enough money to the growers to enable them to harvest the crop, binding them to sell at 10 to 12 cents per pound. The hops could then be forced up to 27 cents per a and a clear $4,000,000 have been realized.
