The silver men were within two of a quorum ; - yesterday, but to-day there was a scattering of their forces, and the highest vote re- Corded in favor of Mr. Bland’s motion to check the nubusters was 15 or 20 less than a quorum. Speaker Orisp was back in the chair to- day and his presence undoubtedly had the @ffect Of preventing arepetition of the ex- citing scenes of the past two days. With the exception of occasional bitter remarks by Mr. Bland the proceedings to-day were without special interest. Mr. Bland was temporarily absent when the House met and Mr. Blanchard of Alabama made the usual motion for the Mouse to go into the committee ofthe whole to consider the Bland bill. He demanded the previous question, and, on the roll call, the result was 162 ayes and 7 nays. The Speaker had scarcely made the an- pouncement when Boatner of Louisiana rushed excitedly intothe halland said that he desired to be recorded as present to make a quorum. Speaker Crisp explained that there was no rule to warrant sucha record and Mr. Reed Gaused some momentary excitement by in- sisting there was no rule against it. Speaker Crisp, however, adhered to his ruling, which moved Mr. Reed to observe with an attempt at humor, ‘‘Thechair will observe my constant efforts to help the House out of its difficulty. Speaker Crisp gave Mr. Reed a sly dig by retorting with a twinkle in his eye: Oh, the Chair feels sure the gentleman from Maine would like to see a quorum on this vote. Mr. Bland had returned in the meantime, and on being informed that the roll call showed less thana quorum, moved the call of the House. ‘ On this vote 273 members respended and the vote recurred on the demand for the pre- vious question. Mr. Wilson of Washington, who has deen voting with the silver men, again furnished n surprise by moving that the House adjourn. Before this could be done Mr. Bland said that he desired to withdraw the demand and move the debate be closed at 3 o’clock on Tuesday. This statement from Mr. Bland Was accepted as a sort of admission of the hopelessness of his fight. Mr. Wilson insisted on his motion and it was lost on an aye and nay vote by 24 to 175. Mr. Reed then jumpedinto the ring and cracked the filibustering whip. He moved that the House take arecess fortwo hours, and afterwards modified it so that the recess could be extended until 10 o’clock on Monday morning. Mr. Bland shouted across the hall that the friends of bonds were throttling the House. ‘Tite motion was lost ona rising vote, and Mr. Reed made the point of no quorum. Whereupon Mr. Bland moved a call of the fhe call developed the presence of 278 ‘members. * Bland was gradually getting worked #64 high pitch of excitement over the 5 2 : s ot the filibusters and moved that all ages of absence granted except for sicx- 8 be recalled. It was expected that he d follow this up with a resolution for arrest of absent members, and his mo- causea some excitement. aker Crisp State’ that there were no leaves of absence except in the case of sick- © Ness, and dir.

Noclass of Government employes in the civil service are subjected to such constant Ganger or have duties imposing so greata strain as the postal clerks. Many of them have been killed in rallroad aceidents in re- cent years, and efforts have been made to provide pensions for their families. Mem- bers ofthe Post-offilce Committee expect to make a determined stand to secure more liberal wages for employes in this branch. Indian Appropriations. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 24.—The House Committee on IndiamAffairs which has had under consideration the Indlan appropria- tions for the next fiscal year will not re- duce them materially Delow the figures of the present year. the committee is now engaged in the com- pilation of the bill aud has progressed so far that its policy can be stated ‘lefinitely, al- though no figures can yet be given. Nostof the tems in the indian bill are for current expenses, maintenance of the partially de- pendent Indians and the machinery of the service, nelds which offer little opportunity for greater economy and in which the com- N does not expect to make large reduc- tions. Several treaties acquiring Indian lands are before Congress for settlement, buta plan has been discussed which, if carried out, will obviate the need of extra appropriations for this purpose, Instead of making payments to the Indians for their lands at once, it is proposed to defer the first payment until six months after the reservations have been opened for settlement. In this time the set- tlers will have made payments for their property, andthe moneys received by this transaction will be drawn upon to pay tothe Indians in accordance with the treaties. By toliowing this system the necessity for mak- ing special appropriations tocarry out In- dian treaties will be avoided. EXAMINATION OF CATTLE. What ths State Board of Health Has Done in Inv-sticating the Milk Supply. ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 25.—The report of the State Board of Health transmitted to the Governor says that the work of examination of cattie for tuberculosis has increased be- yond all expectations. Last year 20,310 cat- tle were examined, and 878 were killed, about 8 percent. The average cost of examination was 47 cents for each animal. The value of ‘*Koch’s lymph’’ is assured by the expert ence gained. Facts are being collected bear- ing upon the use of tubercul, in which will be valuable additions to the records of the efforts to eradicate consumption in cattle. It will require a larger appropriation to cope with this work in order to make it as effective asthe law intends. Owners of cattle have made many personalapplications that their heads be examined. At present there are more than fifty applications on file which have not been reached, some of them from cities, askingthat examinations of the milk supply be taken up. ESTIMATES OF FARM ANIMALS. Increase in Numbers, but a Decline in Their Value. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—The estimates of fazm animals for January, 1884, indicate a decrease in the number of horses as com- pared with January, 1593, of a little less than 10.8 per cent, an increase in mules of about .9ofi percent, an increase of milk cows of nearly (of 1 per cent and in oxen and other cattle of a little less than 2 per cent. Sheep in the interval between these dates have suffered numerical loss of nearly 5 per cent, and hogs have fallen off in num- bers 2 per cent. In prices horses have de- clined 2 1-9 per cent, mules 12 percent, milk cows have remained nearly stationary, but with increasing tendency, while oxen and other cattle have lost 2-8 of 1 percent. There has been a decline inthe price of horses throughout the country, excepting in the States of Rhode Island and Idaho, The range of prices is from $15.80 per in New Mexico, to $95.43 In Island, the average being $47.83. price of milk cows has advanced in some sections, but the decline in other parts of the country has so nearly offset the increase that the average for the country remains at about the figures of 1893. The decline in the price of sheep has been consid. erable inthe last year, notwithstanding the decided decrease in numbers. Hogs have also fallen in price, but there is every ap- earance of rapid recovery. Aggregate num- ers and values of farm animals are as fol lows: Horses, 16,081,189, value 8769, 224, 799; mules, 352,231, value 5116. 232.811; milk cows, 16,48 , 400, value 358.998, 461; oxen and other cattle, 36,608, 168, value 3536, 789,747; sheep, 45,048,017, value 8891, 186, 110; gwine, 45, 206, 498, value, 3270, 386, 626. Thrown From a Vehicle. About 11:30 a. m. yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Cohenberg of 1518 South Thirteenth street were driving along Chestnut street at Thir- tieth street when the wheel of the vehicle broke and they were turown out on the street. Mrs. Cohenberg received brulses all over her body and had her right arm sprained, Mr. Cohenberg came out witha slight cut above the eye and a bruised leg. Dr. Jacobs of Thirtieth and Chestnut streets examined the injuries and pronounced them not serious. He however called a city am- bulance to convey them home. X ung and Stage-Struck.

I Loge but Against Pres Rebellion Adds strength to the Brazilian Republic, So Far DA GAMA’S TREACHERY WEAKENED MELLO’S CAUSE. Capt. Picking Says the New Leader Is a Cur for Breaking Faith With His Govw- ernment — Desultory Duels Between Forts and Ships—How the Aquidaban Slipped Into the Bay in a Storm of Eholls. Special Cerrespondence SUNDAY Post-DisPatocn. Rio JANEIRO, Brazil, Feb. 28. - Custodto de Mello’s rebellion becomes more Of a farce as the weather becomes better. Every hour adds to Peixoto’s power. Every sun saps the strength of the rebelforces. The President’s splendid defense of his constitutional rights has won the respect of every true Brazilian. The Republic must live, is the universal cry. Da Gama's monarchical proclamation was the death blowtorebel hopes. Mello’s last play was a desperate stroke. Two years ago it would have won, but the Re- publie has gained too stronga foothold in Brazil. Down with Peixoto and Military Despotism’’ found an echo in many a patriotic heart. ‘‘Death to the Republic’’ was treason, it drove thousands of public spirited men who had advocated Mello’s cause to a passive support of the Govern- ment, it madeatraitor of Mello in his coun- try’s eyes, and a political trickster of Da Gama, once the abiest and most popular man in Brazil. His neutrality, though anomalous in the eyes of the world, Without, was consistent with the Brazilian character. The right of rebelilon is a sacred principle upon which all South American constitutions , are framed, the right of neutrality is every patriot’s prerogative. The fact that Da Gama, as Commander-in-Chief of the forces at Corbras Island, declinedto turn his guns on his brother Brazilians in the bay was ap- plauded as a piece of noble disinterestedness even by the Government’s strongest sup- porters, . Brazilians love Brazilians better than Brazil. They are Republicans not because the Republic affords them greater civil lib- erty than did the monarchy, but because it 18 advanced civilization to havea republic and Brazillans are doing their level best to keep up with the intellectual procession. But when Da Gama declared for the monarchy it wounded their pride. It madea laughing- stock of them among their brethren. Bra- zilians don’t like to be told that they don’t know their own mind, Many got angry at Da Gama for making them ridiculous and washed their hands of the whole affair. There werea good many who thought he acted in bad faith with his friend Peixoto. Hedid not carry his neutrality to sucha patriotic degree as to refuse his salary from the Government. But his bad faith went further. He intimated to Peixoto that his neutrality was only a mask to deceive Mello. Corbras Island, he said was defenseless. Without guns and fortifications his garrison could not protect it. Ihe Geneva Cross which floated over the hospital would be no defense agalust the rebel host. Nothing was sacred enough for Mello's piratestorespect. ‘‘Givye me men, guns and ammunition,’’ sald he, and I will burn powder at the Republic’s shrine.’’ Pe- ixoto gave him both. Government money made the island impregnable. Government credit provisioned it for a year's siege, then Da Gama turned his guns onthe friend who had made him formidable. Da Gama had always been popular in for- elgn navies. He is an accomplished man, an able economist anda fluent talker. He was afavoriteat naval reviews and had many warm friends in the American fleet here. Now therels no man whois more despised by naval men. PICKING’S OPINION. The fellow is a cur,’’ Capt. Picking of Charleston said to-day to a PosT-DISPATCH correspondent. ‘*During his so-called neu- trality he was a frequent visitor aboard the Charleston and always received a hearty wel- come, He talked so piausibly about his posl- tion that 1 began to have considerable re- spect fur the principles which led him to adopt the course he had pursued. He as- sured me that while he was loyal to the Ke- public ue believed that the country should be taken out of the control of the military of which Peixoto was the nead and placed in the hands of civilians. At the same time he said that Peixoto was the legal and coastitu- tional President and that he could not take up arms against his Government, though he belleved lu many ot the principles that led to the revolt. IWas completely astounded when he broke faith with the Government, and be- came convinced that he was a scoundrel and unworthy the respect of honest men. Mello is badly handicapped with Da Gama on his back. Da Gama has become the rebel chieftain's Little Old ..an of the Sea. In point of fact he has choked Mello out of the whole affair, apparently, and assumed the leadership of the revolution. He isin com- mand of Rio harbor and has inspired the murderous cowardly tactics recently re- sorted to which have earned the contempt even of tbe English, who have been active abettors of the revolt. Mello has entirely disappeared from the scene of hostilities. Ine Aquldaban -came in without him Friday and the OSovernment is in the dark as to where he is. ‘ihe rebels have spread the report that he is at Santa Catharina with the Republica, where he is engaged in raising a large force to march on the capital. ‘hey claim that he has got together an army of 6,000 men in Rio Grande do sul, and that part of his forces have occupied Paolitas and Rio Grande Do Sul. The American Consul in the latter city telegraphs contradicting this and Says botn places are in possession of the Government forces and have driven the rebels out of Bage and scattered them in the mountains. ‘ Vice Counsul General Lewis told the PostT- DISPATCH Correspondent yesrerday he had heard on authority apparently authentic that Mello was dangerously sick of beri-beri and the chances of recovery were unfavor - able. Thereport haditthat he was aboard the Republica. The revolutionists have done nothing here within a month. The fighting ig becoming more spiritiess every day. They are carrying on a system of harbor piracy exceedingly annoying to commerce and da n* gerous to the lives of the non-combatants in the bay and along the shore where the flour and sugar houses are located, but they seem to be inflicting little injury on the Govern- ment forces, DESULTORY DUELS. The Government forts Santa Cruz, Lage and St. John, and the rebel strongholds Villegagnon and Cobras Island, engage in a desultory duel during the hours of the morn- ing and afternoon. But they are silent when the sun ls up, because it is too hot for activity.

There are perhaps 15,0000f the Na- tional Guard in the city and about 4,009 regu- lar troops. All the fighting up to the pres- ent has been done by the National Guard, Peixoto bas never sent the regulars into ac- tion. They have been doing guard duty around his palaes and at the public bulld- ings. He is holding them as a reserve forces to repel the 6,000 Southern braves with which Mello is threatening to march in the city, A SAMPLE BATTLE. , The rebels have been claiming a decided victory in the occupation of Mocongue, an island near Nitcheroy, which has been held by the Government till within the last week. It was a point of no advantage, and last Wednesdaay night Leixoto ordered his troops to evacuate it. The rebels learned of the plan and surrounded the island with launches, As the Government troops with- drew in small boats the rebels opened fire on them and a brisk engagement followed. Ih firing became so hot thata detachment of light artillery which had been aitempting to load two fleld pleces on a raft was forced to apandon them. The guns were captured by the enemy, Who turnen them on the retreat- ing forces. In the confusion which resulted from this coup, the Government boats be- came scattered, and the big guns on the Nitcheroy and Armacao, which were to have covered the retreat of the Government force were forced to remain silent because they could not distinguish the Government force fromthe rebel troops. After atime, however, the loyal forces succeeded in dis- entangling their boats from the hostile fleet and formed a front tothe enemy. Then the Latterles on shore opened up and poured grape into the rebel launches, while the Government force retreated. The shells from the big guns forced tie rebels to beat to the corner of the Islanii,and the Government furce reached the shore with the compara: tively small loss of seventeen men. About sixty were wounded. ‘ile rebel loss was severe. The Government troops made an at- tempt about 9 o'clock Saturday night to cap- ture arebel transport anchored off Cobras Island, but failed. The rebels discovered them when they were within 309 yards of the ship and opened fireon them with machine guns from Cebros and Enchados Islands. Alter a hot fight of two hours the Govern- ment troops Were beaten off, and the traus- port towed further out Into the bay. HOW DA GAMA GETS COALY The coal wharves at Nictheroy and Arma- cao have been objects of nightly attack for the past week. Therebels must have coal. Their launches are burning tons of it every day, and their KEaglisi coimmissaries cannot supply it fast evaugh. the two great coal yards at Nictheroy are owned Dy [English firms. Da Gama’s men have full permission from the owners to take as much coal as they can capture, payment to be made in gold within twenty-fourbours. e Government objects to this arrangement and has fortified the yards. Ihe condlets for coal are bloody and desperate. A rebel detachment from the Aquldaban captured twenty tons Friday night with a loss of seventy men. Yesterday moi ning atug flyſug an English flag steamed oder to EKnchados. It bore an agent of the oWnera-witha pill for the coal. Da Gama paid it promptly io gold. He has an abundance of Engiisn gold. The Dig En- giish companies, it is said, are supplying him with money and ammunition in return for valuable concessions and land grants which Mello and Da Gaia have bound themselves to bestow if they are successful. If Mello wins the British Will own bragil. Even the cabie companies are in collusion with the rebels. They throw every possible obstacle in the way ef honest reports of the rebellion which your correspondent has en- deavoreito cable, They refused to accepta cable to the Posi-DIsPpaTcH which Minister of the Exterior Nascimento had counter: signed.

The Government is powerless to intérfere for the reason that when it closes the cable office it shuts Itself Off from all communication from the outer world. AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS. Viscount Caba reo. First Secretary of the Foreign Office, grinted an interview tothe POST-DISPATCH chrrespondent on this sub- ject yesterday, ſe salud: lam a great ad- mirer of the entepprise of American journa- lism, and this offfe would feel entirely safe in allowing the |American correspondent to telegraph freeyY and without censorship any message he pight desire tosend. I say this because I beleve your paper has notin- terest In this r@ellion beyond giving its subscribers the cts, but we canuot throw the cables open fo one correspondent and deny them to oth@s. „Many represfitatives of foreign papers which have politfal axes to grind would use the license to fhe furtherance of their papers, sordid fotives and grossly mls- represent the Gofernment abroad. We shall do everything in pur power to get your mes- sages through, lhiwever, as they are honest and tell nothivg mt the truth.“ To those fainillir with the state of affairs in Rio the ‘‘enteprise’’ of some of the war correspondents pre, as it has appeared in in print the Unitqt states is amusing. Inter views with Presilent Peixoto have, accord- ing to some of hem, been common place occurrences, Tigy think nothing of brush- ing aside the quajrupie line of guards which surround the pakce and demanding official utterances fromithe President whenever their managing jditors make up their mind that Peixoto ougif to rush into print with his grievances. But the plain fact is that these alleged terviews have all come through the Fordgn Office, Whence they had their origin. Pixoto has never receiveda correspondent gnee Sept. 6, 1893. He has been fighting his battles elsewhere than in the colums of th papers. He does not be- lleva with Chaujcey Depew that Fame is what a man getsby talking to newspaper re- porters.’’ Peix¢o is too busy to talk to any- one but his Owinet Ministers and. he has lately develope:ia streak of taciturnity with them that is keplng them guessing. The rebel chiefs are such more accessible. CROSSINGPHE BAY UNDER FIRE.

THROUGH A STORM OF SHELL. The exciting episode of the past week was the return of the Aquidaban. The Govern- ment has been ignorant of her movements Since she left Santa Catherina. It had been reported thatshe-had gone North to attack tue Nictheroy at Pernambuco and Pelxoto had ordered Admiral Duarte to put to sea every hight to prevent surprise. Weeks bassed and the Aquidaban failed to put in an Appearance on the Northern coast. Then the Government began to prepare for her return, The batteries in the forts were strengthened and the carrison ordered to be prepared at any time to turn the whole strength of their guns on the rebelships. At day break on the 13th a sentry on Santa Cruz made out the Aqulda- aban three miiesaway. The news was sig- nalled to St. John and Lage. Ina few min- utes a shot was sent to challenge her. It fell short. Another and another missed. She sailed along at a speed of five knots until she was Opposite the entrance of the harbor, only 1,600 yards wide between the forts. then she crowded on steam and swept through. Lage pumped shells at her bow and the others swept her broadsides and quarters. Stlilshe sped on in silence. Nota man was to be seen on her. Shelis rattled on her armored sides like hallstones on an iron roof, As she passed Lage her nine-inch guns belched a broadside at the little fort, while her turret guns sent shells at Santa Cruz. Thensheranupthe Brazilian ensign and her docks swarmed with cheering men. she had made her fourth passage of the great forts and had not received a scratch. The Acquidaban steamed up to her old Anchorage opposite Fiscal Island. Ten minutes later the United States crulser San Francisco, with Admiral Benham aboard and your correspondent on the bridge, made the passage ofthe forts. The two forts bombarded her vigorously with blank cartridges, as they had pounded the rebel ship with shot and shell, Admural Benham and Capt. Watson have became popular here. The Admiral put his foot down and declared that American commerce shall be protected. The rebels know he means what he says and havea profound re- spect for the American flag. Minister Thompson, Consul Gen. Townes and Vice-Consul Lewis have been active in affording ald to Americans who have fallen victims to martiallaw. Minister Thompson is living at Petrepeds, but comes into the cityevery day and remains at the Consulate between 10 and s o’clock, Gen. Townes has kept the Consulate open tin mid- Night since the breaking out ofthe rebellion in order that Americans in distress may communicate with him at all hours. it has been very bot at the capital for sev- eral weeks and yellow fever is increasing rapidly. There has been an average of the past week, As this letter is inclosed the report comes that J, Baptista Guides, Secretary of the papad Nunele, has issued a ciroular calling on his churchmen to support Mello inan effort to restore the monarchy. Guides is ambitious to be the Richelieu of Brazil. He has no influence in church circles and it is an injustice to judge the attitude of the church in Brazil by his fanatical ravings, but both sides aretrying to make capital out of his circular. ECHO OF A SCANDAL. Mrs. Biddulph Martin's Suit Against the British Museum Trustees. LONDON, Feb. 24.—In thé Queen’s bench division of the High Court of Justice to-day the case of Mrs. John Biddulph Martin, for- merly Victoria Woodhull, against the trus- tees of the British Museum, was continued before Baron Pollock. Sir Charles Russell, the Attorney-General, this morning continued his cross-examina- tion of Mrs. Miartin. During this cross- examination Sir Charles Russell asked the witness a number of questions in regard to the Beecher-Tilton trial, and questioned Mrs. Martin as to the truth of the story pubilshed in the Woodhull-Claflin journal to the effect that the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher dropped on his Knees before her, as she was seated on a sofa, took her face between his hands and implored her to let him off. Mrs. Martin did not givea direct answer to this question, but said that it required a good deal of explanation. Sir Charies Kussell persistedin his question and finally ‘irs, Martin said thatthe scene had not occurred so far as she personally was concerned; but, she added, if the Beecher scandal is to be continually introduced in this way, itis unfair to me and unfair to history. (Laughter.) Considerable amusement was caused throughout the examination and cross-ex- amination of irs. Martin, by the smart an- swers which she frequentiy gave to counsel. But Mrs. artin was perfectly cool and col- lected throughout and insisted upon making elaborate replies which were often discon- certing even to such a distinguished cross- examiner as Sir Charies Russell. Eventually Sir Charles Russell took up a book containing extracts from the speeches of Mrs. Martin, a book for which Mrs. Mar- tin had written a preface, and asked her: Can you point outa KAusle sentence which repudiates, before 1881, the filthy passages in Woodhull’s Weekly of Nov. 2, 1872?’’ ** Allow me to state how that work came to be done,’’ answered Mrs. Martin, beginning a long explanation. After er cross-examination, Mrs. Martin wat re-examined at length, repeating the story of her lite, her high aims and ideas. urs. Martin during the course of ner re- examination said that she never knew a publisher named Brankerof New York, and added that she did not belleve that such a person existed. Continuing, the witness said that she had never been in Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's house. ur. John Biddulph Martin, husband of the plaintiff, was the next witness, and, after. his testimony had been taken, Sir John Rus- sell began his speech for the defense. Event ually the case was adjourned until Monday. Mrs. }artin sume time ago obtained an order from the courts directing the trustees of the British Museum to dtvulge the names of the donorsto the museum of two books relating to the Beecher-Tilton trial. Mrs Martin, in her petition, declared the first these books imputed that she, as Mrs. Victo- ria Woodhull, had published libelous and ob- scene literature, The secoud book, according to Mrs. Mar- tin’s complaint, purported to contain state- ments made during the Beecher-Tilton Mti- gation which, she Claimed, reflected upon her.

The Outcome of Negotiations Transe tal Lines. outsiders it looks 2a CHICAGO, Feb. 24.—fo the to-night as though extremely low rates for passengers would be the feature ere long in transcontinental circles. The continuation of the story of the war of the Via Barstow“ rates is simply this—that the Southern Pacific sys no and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe propose to meet this with an ultimatum declaring that its rate’ from Chicago to Los Angeles will be, Kept at $15 jess than the direct rate to San Francisco. This of course will give the ro. sult the Atchison desires, namely of giving passenger by their route the benefit of the short line rate to San Francisco by paying the $15 local rate from Los Angeles to San Francisco. ‘this reduced rate dy the Atchison goes into effect March 1 and ts ex- pected to cause serious trouble, as the lines running via Ogden will be compelled to make a like reduction in their rate to Los Angeles or be prepare: to lose the Southern Callfor- nia business, which at this season of the year is no inconsiderable feature. In connection with the expected war of rates General Passenger Agent Goodman of the southern Pacific to-day issued a circular to connecting lines in which he says, in part, that several months ago the Atchison and Southern Pacific entered into an agreement giving the former the privilege, subject to thirdy Gays’ notice of discontinuance, subse« quent'y changed to ninety days, of routing via Barstow and Los Angeles toand from San Francisco. Pursuant to agreemen the Southern Pacific gave notice on Nov. 28 a desire to annul the agreement on March 1. Under the agreement the Southern Pacifie claims for itself and its connections at Ome den and Portland the reciproca!l right to ticket at the through rate by direct lines from Chicago to Los Angsles though San Frans cisco and vice versa. ‘*this,’’ says Mr. Goodman, the Atchi-+ son, Topeka & Santa Fe denies, an threatens if such right is ‘exercised that i will reduce tne through rates over direct lines by the amount of valie of side ride bee tween Lathrop and san Francisco. Southern Pacific can see no good reason why the san Francisco passenger may, wi : out extra charge, ‘visit Los geles en route to Eastern while the privilege of visiting san Francisee en route to Kastern states is denied to 100 Angeles passengers without additional ex- pense, nor why A. T. & 5. F. may give its passengers the privilege dt visiting Los Afe gelesen_route to San Francisco, while the railroad compantes working via Ogden are denied the right of giving their passengers the privilege of visiting. San Francisco en — to Los Angeles except at an additional cost. The ceduced grain rates will be — into effect dy all Eastern lines next Tuesday, - The reductions apply not only to grain, but also to grain products. Theidea that . reduction could be confined solely to terminal points proved to be a futile one and the - ular proportionate reductions will be to interior points. The war on grain rates will undoubtedly have an effect on provisions withinashort time. Rates in these com- modities are already being cut by some lines and a general smash is looked for soon. Of- ficial routes are to be abolished in connection with the excursion business for which re- duced rates are made over the Western roads, ; Heretofore there has always deen a scramble among the competing roads to get hold of the managing officials of any excur- sion party and have them declare some par- ticular road the official rodte for the excur- sion in question. ‘This gave that road a de- cided advantage on the entire business, and the advantage was frequently paid for in some way, caiculated to dem rates. this abuse of privilege that one fanda condition on which reducad rates are shall de that no road shall be deciared official route for any such excursion, ali will be given a fair show tn competing the business.

The only facts necessary to be borne in mind, and on which the Fund Committee, havingin view the systematic prosecution of the work established for the benefit of thetunemployed laborers, would insist, was that the bread and coffee be distributed at the noon hour, from 122 to 1 o'clock, when the men were laid off for lunch, and the work of dis- tribution be s0 systematized as to be effective inthe proper service to the hundreds of laborers to be helped.

With Old-Time Clothes and Manners, Old- Time Amusements Are Returning: Written for the SonDAaY Post-DISPATOH. For the damsel who has been developing 1830 clothes and 1830 manners there will be 1830 amusements as well. This is officially announced. The creature of spreading skirts and sloping shoulders, of delicate languor and helpless appealingness can no longer keep up the amusements proper enough totherudely robust young woman whom she has superseded. Could the sweet maiden of the pelerine roll a ball down a, bowling alley or bring her boat up the river witharushor walk her five miles before breakfast just for the fun of the thing? Such incongrulties are impossible alike to the footgear andthe feelings of the restored damsel of the 1830 period. The gentle maidens of 1830 had amuse- ments, but they were occupations suitable to their clothes and their culture. They walked, stepping daintily about a garden. It was permissible for Pamela or Amelia to wander circumspectly along the garden walk if the Lord Orville of the occasion kept a respectful distance—say ten feet or so.

Haarstice of the Fund Committee were also in attendance, as the proposed organization recognized the necessity of securing the full approval of the Fund Committee having in charge the prosecution of the lake work in Forest Park before proceeding with its posed plan for the comfort of the laborers employed on the lake. The meeting was called to order by Mr. R.. Graham Frost, who, by request of the ladies having the relief pian in charge, explained to those present the nature of the work as proposed to be carried out. Mr. Frost stated that the past wsek, in its intensely cold weather, had developed the touching fact that many of mne laborers engaged on the lake work were, through ex- treme poverty, exposed not only to the rigors of winter weather, but were in addition actually unable to provide them- gelves with food for lunch at the noon hour of the lake work, when they took their mid- — An Excavating Gang at Work. the twenty-four-dog coursing stake at Brentwood Park yesterday.

Mrs, In- galis, however, spoke by request, and her co-operation in the work was especially asked for. > Acting under the approval and with the co-operation of the Fund Committee, the meeting then declared its organization as already effected to be permanent, subject to enlargement of committees as might be found necessary in carrying out the work, and adopted as the name of the organization „»The Lake Fund Lunch Association.’’ With most commendable dispatch the statement was tben made that the first thing necessary was to starta fund both of money and supplies and to cali om the public forfurther contributions to help the good work along. Within ten minutes afterthis statement was made Treasurer Schotten had in his possession over $100 in cash subscribed to the movement at Forest Park yesterday morning only twenty responded, It was decided that with the ground again frozen toa depth of six inches it would be useless to attempt the work of excavation, and an unneceseary risk of exposure to the men making the attempt. Work was accordipgly suspended until to- morrow morning, at which time, weather permitting, a force of 600 laborers will be employed and excavation of the lake again resumed. ‘BILLY’?

Looking upon that sad yet attractive face, which the matchless pencil of Van- dyke has rescued from the common decay, it is impossible not to feel a certain admir- ing sympathy for him—even while fully realizing that his dismal fate was of his own making. ELECTRICAL DISCOVERY. It is safe to say that when the American edition of the work of Nikola Tesla is is- sued, as it may be shortly, it is likely to have a large circulation, not only among professional electricians, but among all classes of intelligent people. Few men among the celebrities of the world have attracted so much attention as did this young Servian during his recent visit to the United States. There is a general feeling that the next great advance in the practical application of scientific knowledge isto result from electrical experiment and research. This belief crowded the halls in which Edison lectured in Europe,as it did those in which Tesla appeared in America. It is notable that when such a feeling ex- ists and is widespread, it is rarely at fault. This is no result of presentiment, if there is such a thing, for discoveries are rarely if ever the result of the labor or the genius ofasingle person. They come from the work of hundreds or of thousands, all anxiously striving to reach the same end. It often happens thus that great discoveries are made almost contemporaneously in different parts of the world, as was the case in the greatest of all events in the history of electricity—the discovery that it exists in the clouds and is potentially present everywhere in nature, When men like Edison and Tesla, 80 widely different in everything, have a common purpose in which they are sup- ported by the admiration of millions and the co-operation of thousands, the work of electrical discovery cannot stop. It will go on until the twentieth century realizes the possibilities of electricity as fully as the nineteenth century has realized those of steam. — * ENLIGHTENMENT NEEDED. The people of the effete East are given to assuming patronizing airs towards the wildand woolly West in the matter of edu- cation. But there has been a ‘‘chiel amang them takin’ notes,’’ and he tells some amusing stories eoncerning the in- telligence of some Eastern people of the chosen tribes. This note-taker affirms upon his oath that he heard a remarkable conversation in a group of New Yorkers belong- ing to an organization of ‘‘solar- walk’’ politicians who presume to teach the country the science of govern- ment. The subject under discussion was the silver question, and when it had been thoroughly exhausted one of the leaders of the debate asked, Ho many Senators has Nevada, anyhow?’’ When some one ventured timidly to sug- gest that it had two, another debater declared that in his opinion the election of Senators should be taken out of the hands of the House of Representatives. Not less entertaining is his account of a conversation in a select literary coterie. A member of the staff of a prominent maga- zine was dilating on the discoveries he had made in a collection of old books. He was especially pleased with two musty old plays he had run across and declared that he had found several lines in them which he thought were clever—really clever. He even thought that they might be produced with some interest. The two discovered plays were She Stoops to Conquer’’ and School for Scandal.“ Some men can make wonderful discoveries in libraries, partic- ularly editors of magazines whose publica- tions frequently offer convincing evidence that they are entirely unfamiliar with good literature, old or new. The education of the Eastern people is doubtless superior to that of the Western people, but what they seem to need is some means of enlightening the educated. — 2 FASHION. A Boston magazine, which makes preten- sions to advanced views,is printing articles on ‘‘Rational Dress,’’ embellished with photogravure portraits of all the female dress reformers of the country. The immediate effect of this will be a temporary increase in the circulation of the magazine, through the action of the dress reformersin buying large numbers of extra copies, which each one of them will send to her best friends and dearest enemies as evidence of her importance in the world. But other results there will be none. The women of this country do not want rational dress. They delight in being as irrational as possible, as long as they can becharming. They go from a hat three feet or thereabouts in diameter to a bonnet so small it can hardly be seen at all. One year they wear sleeves. as tight as their pay 1 is . N ' 1 * FDD * * , ö . * a in — — ae wr — 2 ö 8 i = 6 A 2 - N , as thieis 2 tole U 1 7 Ses ‘*rational which fashionschange and for the wide range they take. It is because there is money in it for the trade. ? The ladies do not make their own fashions. They take them ready-made from the trade, andthe trade gets them from its trade correspondents im Paris and London. As a change of style renders use- less a dress, a bonnet, a cloak or other ar- many months, trade profits are corre- spondingly increased by every successful attempt to make a striking change of fashion. As long as this is true, fashions will go on changing as frequently as possible, and it is time for reasonable people to see the unreasonableness of attempting to up- set political economy, and at the same time'deprive the ladies of the pleasure of having on the very latest thingin Easter bonnets. a —_ PREPSIN GUM, While it is entirely possible that twenty years of Europe are better in some respects than a cycle of Cathay, it must be con- fessed that no native of Cathay has yet dropped a nickel inthe slot of those pep- sin gum machines which are spreading with such rapidity throughout New York City. It is a fact that if such a machine was set up in Mott street it would not get enough of Hop Sing's earnings in a year to pay for greasing the springs. Cathay has many and serious faults, but a craving for pepsin gum is not one of them. Perhaps it may take more than twenty years of Europe to breed the appetite for pepsin gum, but it does not take more than ten years of New York. Aftera man has been rushing around, as American business men think themselves bound to rush, the time soon comes when he looks out through jaundiced eyes on a pale chrome universe. Then he goes to one physician after another, and when they all fail him he comes to the last resort and drops his nickel inthe slot for a chew of pepsin gum. Perhaps outof the thousands of those who knowingly -deceive themselves with the feeling that they can chew away that crawling sensation at the pit of their stomachs which often takes the place of an active conscience, there are tens who choose the narrow path of wisdom, and, finding that pepsin gum isa delusion and a snare, let off steam and ‘‘give their cop- pers a chance to cool.“ But the great majority keep on the down grade with all steam on, chewing pepsin gum, to the in- evitable nl. a : Undoubtedly wseare the heirof all the ages in the foremoit files of time, but we have a great deal to learn yet and we are paying dearly for ü. And no matter how high pepsin gum cpmes, we must have it. 4 9 IN a speech in Chicago on Washington’s birthday, Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court said: We grant to the ateused too much latitude; first, atrial by his peers; second, an appeal toa reviewing court, with the duty sup- posed to rest upon mat court of awarding a new trial, not simply when the testimony fafls to show the fendant’s guilt, but also for any errors apparent in the introduction of testimony or th instructions of the trial court. It is with {be utmost difmficulty that punishment is secured of a criminal who has means to carry on jis defense, and when se- cured itis only at the end of a long and ex- pensive litigation, Do we wonder at the prevalence of lyndi law? Every lynching is but a protest of tie community against the incapacity of the curts to punish criminals. This is all true but it is a very danger- ous thing to depr pve the accused in a crim- inal case of any @ his rights. The law enumerates ~~ and they should be strictly observed. It is not likely that he hastoomany. ‘The faultis not so much in the latitude gjven the accused as in the lax administratioh of the law as it stands. If that is enfoged with proper energy failures of justicewould be comparatively few. — * nnn _ ——— THe high tarif temptation is not the only one the Souh has had to resist since the war. Some pars ago it was supposed that if the Southen States should not join in the cry for Feral aid to education the whole South woijd be given over to ignor- ance, just as it § now proclaimed that if certain tariff duies are not upheld by Southern repreentatives in Congress Southern industies will berufned.

Few communities produce statesmen who come so fully up to the requirements of states- manship. MASONS are ridiculing Mrs. Lease’s knowl- edge of Masonry and say that she is merely seeking notoriety, or has been duped by some joker. If she attempts to make Masons of ladies with what knowledge she has pur- chased at the bookstands it will be an imposition. What really inquisitive woman would care to be a Mason and not know the Masonic secrets? In 1770 Miss St. Leger peeped into a Masonic lodge and saw and heard everything and was caught and made a Mason, but no other woman has ever been so fortunate. The feminine Masonic order now existing does not possess the great Ma- sonic secrets, which have been withheld by the masculine Masons for mysterious rea- sons. 1 „ A REFORMER writes: ‘*I would stop the making of wills. If the man is not smart enough to give his property away during life let the State doit ror him after his death, and not let him reach back from the grave and create feuds, contentions, litigation and bitter animosity for years after he has crumbled to dust.’’ It happens to be a fact that some men who have been smart enough to give away their property during life are now in the almshouse, while their able- bodied heirs, who were benefited by this foresight, have forgotten all about them. DR. GREEN Of Boston has discovered in the Massachusetis Gazette for Nov. 4, 1765, mention of the ship Blizard, and he therefore thinks that our word ‘‘blizzard’’ originated among a seafaring people. Blizard, however, 18 a family name, and the ship may have been named in honorof some person. Sir William Blizard was a distinguished anat- Omist and surgeon, and there must have been other Bilizards. The word biizzard, before it was applied to winter storms, was used to describe a general discharge of fre- arms. _ THe Chief of Police of the metropolis of Kentucky has determined to stop prize, dog, coon and chicken fights in every part of the city.

To the Editor of the Post- Diepatch: I observe au editorial in a morning paper pretending to aclose knowledge of municipal! finances which evinces not only a surprising incapacity for figures, but is an injustice to one of the most careful, faithful and pains- taking employes of the Police Department, namely, the Superintendent of the Mounted Police Stables, Dr. Wm. Faulkner. The editorial critic states that the stables need watching and that they have always the reputation of being ex- antly managed, He states that epartment’s forage Dill last year amounted to over §7,000. This isa terrible charge. The department had constantly in use last year 103 horses, and the forage, which means grass, hay, mixed feed, etc., cost the city, according to this statement, $67.96 each per annum, or 58.88 per month. What city department provides for horses at so low a price? What livery stable in the city feeds its stock so cheaply? He says that pasturing cost $400 last year. Still more terrible ig this charge. A reform is certainly needed in this respect, as $4 per annum each, or 344% cents per month per bead, is an awful expenditure for pasturing horses. He says that the department spent 52,800 on buggies and did not take the trouble to learn that this included the seven or eight patrol wagons, as well as al! other vehicles, ard the revuliding and purchase of several patrol wagons, which, by e way, cost about 3400 each, He states that nearly $300 was spent new harness and about $500 for repairing old harness, 311 for horse Dbiankets and la probes. When itis considered that the items charged include horse blankets, re- pairs to saddles and bridles fur the entire mounted force, as well as harness for patrol- wagon service and all vehicles, it would ap- pear that funds are being profilgately used indeed, and figures are accessi- all and are printed in the annual report, and there is no necesity for any misrepresentation of facts as published by the Pepubiic. As an lilustzation of the economy with which Dr. Faulkner conducts his depart- ment, the shoeing of horses last year cost a littie over 70 cents a get, while the other city departments let their contracts at $2 per set. In fact the editorial criticism would be dis- creditable to a 15-year-old school boy pos- sessed of, fair judgment and an ability to add, subtract or divide. INVESTIGATOR, ST. Louis, Feb. 24, 1894. Not a Happy One.’’ To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Some amateur temporarily engaged on the editorial staff of a morning paper, in telling how to run a bigcity, says that formerly only one Police Commissioner received a salary, but that now there are four who re- ceive $¥,0U00 per annum each. The writer must have gone away back intothe history of St. Loulg for his facts, for the act constituting the Board of Police Com- missioners was approved March 27, 1861, taking effect from and after its passage, and the saiary of $1,000 per annum each was pro- vided ſor in that act and has not been changed since, except that one member of the board was by that act made ‘lreasurer and reguired to give bond, receiving $500 ad- ditional compensation for such responsibill- ty. That office has since been abolished and the City Treasurer handles the funds; there- fore the board now receives for its aggregate services $500 per annum less than heretofore. Taking into consideration the fact that the city of Bostun, Mass., bas four police commissioners appointed by the Mayor who recei®® salaries of $3,500 each, and that all other large cities pay similar salaries to their police commissioners, the situation in St. Louis is not so bad. . Making a miss of thirty-three years from 1861 to 1894, is shooting a little wide of the mark, even for old 1808. It ig well known that the position of Police Commissioner is one of the most annoying and exasperating which a Dusiness man can hold, as its exactions of time and the tncon.- siderate and incompetent criiicism a com- missioner is subjected to generally disgust those who hold the positions and make them regret having assumed the responsibility. Any business man who accepts a position on the board will do so at a personal monetary loss through the time taken from his legitimate business, and no better lace to make enemies exists, for it he does his duty he will be cursed and abused by evil doers and the 8 — 0 mendat fon from the press publ if he falis in his duty be will be a 7 press and public and despised by the push a pliable tool. ‘ have been there is no states which is compara N econom- ically conducted and as that of st.

Who s decide w doetors a ere * 9 _ Meanwhile I confess that my own fan in that blessed consummation, a universal re- ligion, is very feeble, I do not say that it will never come, but Ido say that to the best of my Knowledge and belief,’’ it can never come as long as human nature remains what it now is. Everything in this world e®xcept natural laws--with which we are familiar, either has changed since history began, is changing, or, we have reason o think, will change. Human na- ture only has not changed, As we see it depicted by Job and Solomon, by Herodotus and Homer, go it isto-day. Possibly it may be different ten thousand or a million years hence; but I I doubt it—at least, there is nothing in the past or present which, to my mind, indicates such new departure. There is no feature of human nature more clearly manifest or more generally recogniged, than the impossibility of unani- mous belief; for belief, real belief, is nota matter of volition at all, but depends upon evidence—and we all know, whether we have ever had any jury experience or not, that the same evidence does not have the same effect upon all the minds to wien it is pre- sented. It may convince one man, but his neigbhor, quite as intelligent and honest, it does not and cannot convince, Now it is. surely a self-evident proposition that until human nature isso eompletely revolutionized: and remodeled that all men of every race, class, and condition, can and will believe alike, no such thing as a universal religion ig possible. Nor am Lat all certain that it ig desirable.

W. and O, that the reason why there are so many poor servants is because there are so many poor housekeepers,’* has provoked some critical comment, One lady who has been in the business for about forty years, writes tosay that This is not true, and I defy you to prove it.

I admit that a certain thinness of skull and susceptibility of brain is necessary to make a good servant out of a poor one, through the teaching ofa good houseKeeper;and apparently she has. been unfortunate in her selection of material to work upon. Still, lam quite sure that by far the larger proportion of bad or Indiffer- ent domestic service is due to the fact that the lady of the house either does not know herself how things ought or does not care particularly how * to be done, * 85 Jews, Buddhists, Brahmins, Mohammedans, , and all the rest, each claimed that 8 4 2 * ee 3 a 7 ae Oo se Sy.

E REFUSES T0 HELP HIS SUCCESSOR ia 10 ARRANGE THE BECORDS. 1 Wennecker Says He Found Them in Bad Shapé—He Tells ee Aim to Do—How Bothwell Was Feoled —The Dreibund’s Discomfiture. Be. : outwardiy there were no more flaws in the pier machine than there are in the coat of a traditional apple of Sodom when the 3 Springfield convention adjourned Friday - @fternoon after polishing up the club end of m, or perhaps better said, the business end ot nis club. The election of Charles F. Wen- meker as Secretary of the league means much to the organization if the unani- mity of his choice is an indication. His business reputation and prominence as an A. O. U. W. official contributed largely to his success. A general reorganization of the books of the league is expected of Mr. Wenneker and he will enter upon his execu- tive duties immediately and vigorously. CRITICISES CUTLER. „1 found the papers and books in a very unsatisfactory condition, he said to fa re- porter for the PostT-DISPATCH: yesterday afternoon. ‘‘I shall go to work at once to make out complete rosters of all the clubs, their officers, etc., and, soto say, mobilize our active fighters,’’ which goes to prove that the Republicans are in a combat- §ve temper in this year of grace 1894. „% However, he added, I am unable to gay much now on account of the great con- fusion ofthe papers. The former Secretary, Mr. B. F. Cutler, turned them over to me im- mediately after my election, without once offering to assist me to digest the mass of stuff he had accumulated. I asked him if his term did not continue until the convention adjourned. He said no and turned away curtly. I would in his place, at least, have offered to make the work as light for my guccessor as possible. edo not care if you publish what I say, for Ido not think Mr. Cutler acted quite prop- erh. All of which has a sort of Dead Sea galty flavor that makes one disposal to expect the grit of ashes in his teeth should he bite through the glossy, shiny shin of the Spring- field apple of harmony, peace and good will to all Republicans. This expectation is not amiss. Mr. Outier is not the only ‘‘Silk’’ that left the convention somewhat warmer under the collar. ; Just why Hon. John H. Bothwell presented himself a willing lamb to be shorn twice the game day was plain to very few men indeed that attended the convention. He explained the matter Friday evening. Mr. Bothwell dia not mince any words, but said plainly that he had been tricked. My best friends, or those I believed to be uch,“ so are his words reported. my best friends urged me nottorun for the position of First Vice-President again, saying they wanted to send me to Denver as a delegate- at-large.’’ ; Thatisthe explanation of Mr. Bothwell’s extraordinary speech when he declined to allow his name to be used against W. L. Porterfield of Springfield and asked for the wnanimous choice of that gentleman to fill Die shoes by acclamation. This speech cost him what few Filley friends he had. His vote, Dee against 1,875 for James T. Moore of La- clede County, may or may not register the **Siik’’ strength at the convention. At any rate Mr. Bothwell professed to believe that matters had been arranged for him by his confident, officious friends. DER DREIBUND’S IGNOMINIOUS SHOWING. Der Dreibund did not show up at Spring- field, that is if it still takes three to compose a Dreibund. Henry Bersh was on hand with Ernst Kretschmer anc J. W. Clemens, dele- tes from the Eleventh Ward Republican lub. seventeen names were sent on to Springfield as the representation of the Fleventh Ward Club. It looked as though the Dreibund was going to carry things through with a rush. It was whispered that ‘de ole man’ was going to have trouble at the gathering of the clans. Filleyites began to brace themselves to withstand a young cyclone, Reports were circulated that the Dreibund would find enough elements of opposition among the leaguers to make the meeting exceedingly interesting for the old czar of Beaumont street, I not to carry the day. That's the way it looked to some people when the Eleventh Ward sent on seventeen names. As only three of them were to be found when President Harkless calied the covenan- ters to order, and as Col. Bittenger and his following seemed to be layinglow, Mr. Besch found the air of Springfield did not agree with his constitution. He returned to St. Louis Thursday evening, a sick man, He wa already sick physically, but that dia*not keep him from going to Springfield. On being asked how the result of the conven- tion tallied with his expectations, he could only say it was very harmonious and indica- tive of great party strength and unity, and at the same time enter another perfunctory protest against the impression that prevails enera'ly in St. Louls that the Dreibund and s Filley had not always been as much in touch as might have been desirable. In fact he could not see the propriety of the name anyhow. The puzzle of the convention was that res- olution ofjnGorsement of Mayor Cyrus P. Walbridge as a successful succeederin poll- tics, and consequently a fit subject for an in- vitation 427 to Denver next Mav as the guest of the Missouri League at the National Convention of Republican League Olubs. Presumably the convention esired to show Mr. Walbridge as a curtosity—a RepuDdlican office holder in Missouri, The implied motive, according to general consent, was to promote Mayor Walbridge’s c of being slaughtered at the next Supommatorial election. nay contained in Committee on Reso- as the convention, The lu „ as well hap that resolution with gloved hands. It was rushed through witha waee? by all shades of opinion and a look of relief greeted its posal. No word ot protest was heard from. any Filleyite that De Ole Man’’ de- gerved some of the credit for Mayor Wal- *s victory, That was reserved for lob- by tors later in the evening. Opinion is divided astotne merit of the move, By some it is looked upon as a ler on the part of the friends of Mayor Walbridge. As a register of Republican opinion, a declaration more than two years in advance would forma poor thermometer of the political weather on election day, Others are prone to believe it was a deeply laid scheme of the Filleyites to sever the supposed alliance between Mayor Walbriage and the Dreibund. That is a point of no émall importance tothe seekers for crumbs the political table who always from a respectable contingent of League Club Conventions. As one of them, de ole man’s boodlums, said yesterday, speak- ing of the official representative of the Drie- bund of Springfield; ‘*Henry Besch is a nice fellow and all right personally, but when ge undertakes to distribute patronage without —— to the organization,he goes just a little too far. The question nowto be solved is ac¢cord- ingly whether the Mayor and the Dreibund are still solid. MATOR WALBRIDGE INTERVIEWED. Mayor Walbridge was asked yesterday if he attached an significance to his having been nominated for Governor by W. I.

OPERA IN NEW YORK ; _-_ — Close of the Season at the Metropolitan— Aggregate Receipts. New Yoru, Feb. 2%.—The ninth regular Season of opera and the third regular season at the Metropolitan, counting in the old with the new, went out this week ina blaze of repétitions, Nineteen operas. have deen presented as against twenty-three in the preceding season under the management of Abbey & Grau. Of these four ‘*Philemon and Baucis,’’ *‘Ipagiiacci,’’ ‘*Amico Fritz’’ and Nozze di Figaro“ were novelties, ana three of the four might be considered as novelties from a managerial standpoint, although the operas had been previously given in the country, Duridg the season sixty performances of opera have been given, thirty-nine regular evening performances, thirteen matinees, twoextra matinees and six extra evening performances. Carmen!“ was produced thirteen times, ‘**Faust’’ eight times, Romeo and Juliet““ six times, **Kigolettu’’ and lannhauser'““ twice, ‘‘Hamlet’’ once, Don Glovanni’’ once, Lucia di Lammer- moor“ once and two acts of it with ‘‘Ipag- liacci’’ as a double bill. Twelve composers have been represented. Gounod leads the way with sixteen perform- ances of three operas. Bizet comes nex: with thirteen performances of one opera. Wag- ner and \ascagni tie for third place with nine performances, Asinthe preceding season, the operas of the French scnool, including Meyerbeer, lead easily with thirty-four performances. The German school got fifteen, while the Italian was represented by twenty. The receipts for the ninety-one perform- ances given during the season, including twelve performances in Philadelphia, six in Brooklyn and thirteen Sunday night con- certs, aggregate the total of 8550, 000, or an average of alittle more than $6,000 per per- formance, The operas as a rule were sung in Italian, though ‘*Romeo and Juliet’’ and ‘*Philemon and Baucis,’’ ‘*Hamiet’’ and Carmen? were subg in French. CHEESE MAKING. How the Foreign Article Gets the Quality Gourmets Relish So Much. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. The most brilliant wit and more famous cook, Brillat-Savarin, once observed that a last course of dinner without the cheese was like a prettily featured woman with only one eye. While cheese with the poor is au arti- cle of constant and substantial diet, with the rich itis used as an aid to digestion. Doc- tors, however, have declared that, uniess eaten after a full meal, itis rather indli- gestible, In England, the Cheddar, the Cheshire and the celebrated stilton are made by processes which are comparatively well Known, Ina great measure their quality depends upon the care with which they are aged. Among Euro, ean cheeses, which — a couple of decades have superseded those Of England in popularity, there is a certain mystery in the processes by wich they are manufactured. In the soft cheeses, the product of the New Jersey farm may really be said to fairly com- pete with those of Europe. But these imi- tations have their restrictions, For in- stance, these worthy imitators ot a delicacy so popular have either vainly or not at all at- tempt to reproduce the famous Roguefort, This cheese is probably one ofthe oldest known. It is certainly one of the oldest men- tioned in any written book. Pliny mentions it in one of his works, and Kabelais when he wrote the phrase that has since become so commonplace, ‘‘that the moon is made of green cheese, 1s more likely to have had in mind the green-streaked Roquefort than the green sage cheese of England ot the time of Shakspeare. : The making of Roquefort cheese is some- thing ofaromaneée. ‘he village from which it takes its name, is situated in a deep, nar- row gorge, — * high, precipitous walls of limestone rock. ‘This cheese is made from the milk of the black goat, which has a fer- tile pasturage of ten or twelve leagues in the valley below. This milk is heated almost to bolling, and set aside. It the morning it is skimmed, heated to 98 degrees and mingled with the morning’s milk for coagulation. When the curd has been divided with aclean wooden paddle and the whey drawn off it is well kneaded by the hand of the pretty mountain maidens and pressed in layers into molds with perforated bottoms, Usually a thin layer of moldy bread is placed between the layers of curd, the object being to hasten the ripening by supplying the green mold pe- culſlar to this chee e. Inis bread is always made the week before Christmas, of equal parts of summer and winter barley, with considerable sour dough and a little vinegar. The m oldiness whieh this produces is not sufficiently apparent for the taste of the high-classed connoisseur, unless the cheese is kept for three months andits action hastened Dy warmth. When it strikes the peasant that it is moldy enough the cheese is ground, sifted, molst- ened with waterand kept from contact with the alr. In the caves and fissures In the walls of the town, and in vaults rudely constructed in these fissures, the ripening of the Roquefort cheese is carried on by the cold currents of air which whistle through them all the year round, Those vaults which nave currents flowing from south to north are believed to yield the best cheese. The proprietor of these caves Keeps the cheeses sometimes for several years. The cheeses when brought in are classified according to their merit. Salt is sprinkled over them, and they are piled one on un- other fortwoorthree days. Then they are taken down, the accumulated salt carefully rubbed in and then they aoe plled up again and left fora week. They are scraped and pared, pricked through and through with needles driven by machinery in order to. ac- celerate the gathering of the green mold in the interior, and afterthis are left in piles again for fifteen days, till they become dry and firm in texture and their exteriors begin to be covered with mold, The only rival which Roquefort has had, and one which a few years ago really threat- ened its popularity, was the Italian Gorgon- zola. This was really an imitation of the Roquefort, but as wanting in its excellence as are the cream cheeses of New Jersey when compared with those of France. Another foreign cheese which is a favorite here is the small, round Dutch eheese,konown asthe Edam. It is called after a small and flourishing town of that name, located not far from Amsterdam, It looks very much like a small red cannon-ball, and there is a story that when, during the siege of one of the cities of Hollana, the real cannon-Dallis gave out, these cheesee were used to supply the guns, Another favorite, which is found in every French restaurant, but is not so nearly well known as it deserves to ve in American res- turants, isthe Gruyere. This takes its name from switzerland, where it is 14 to have originated but as a matter of fact it ts now made largely in Germany, in France and in New Jersey. What is called the real Gruyere is mostly made in little huts—some- times called chalets—high up in the Alps at the time ofthe year when the pastures on the mountain sides are accessible and these little huts inhabitable. The milk is put into a great kettle and swung over a gentle fire, where it obtains a temperature of 77deg. Then the rennet Is added; when the coagulation is advanced far enough the curd is cut into very fine pieces. Then it is ru#bed and sifted through the fingersinto the Kettle again, and sub- mitted to a temperature of 90 deg. It is then strained fromthe whey and collected in a cloth, Salt is rubbed in carefully from time to time on the outside, One of the stories told of the commoner Swise cheeses of this kind is that ofa tourist not well supplied with cash, Who was walk- ing througu the Alps. He @alled at an inn and demanded a cheese sandwich and a glass of mik. What he obtained in response to his order wastwo slices of buttered bread and a giass of milk. **But where is the cheese?’’ he sald to the waiter. 8 5 „Well, 1 gon't know,!“ replied the Swiss, s ging his shoulders, but, you see, sir our cheese was remarkably tine this year un y Lof large holes, perhaps you got one oF the oles.

Much interest is being taken in the newly organized St. Louls Bible Society, which has risen out of the ashes of the old Bible Soci- ety. Mr. Edward Bredell, who was a promi.- nent factor in the support and management of the former society for a great many years, has reached that time of life when he feels it to be necessary to be relieved from the care and responsibility incident to its success and greatest usefulness. The thousands of vol- umes of the Word of God distributed through this society in the years past, either free or at a nominal cost, and the eagerness witu which they have been received, clearly showed the necessity for its comtinued exist- ence. Heretofore the society has been an entirely voluntary organization with no funds but such as have been contributed by individuals and churches to meet immediate and press - ing demands for Bibles at frst cost and free distribution of them as far as possible. But the time came foramore thorough or ganization and for incorporation, With power to receive bequests and other permanent funds that the institution might bethe means of gathering and perpetuating its power iong after the donors have gone to thelr reward, ‘ibis step was further rendered necessary from the fact that some persons have ex- pressed the desire to make preparation in their wills that money left by bequest might have a legal body to receive aud hold it in trust and perpetuilty.jror this purpose, Robert Ranken, Wm.

Special Correspondence SUNDAY POSsT- DISPATCH. NEW York, Feb. 23.—There isa commerce in wild animals, as nearly every one must know, but few have any idea of their value. This isfixed by the circusesand traveling menageries of the world, because they are the largest buyers. As a matter of fact,. a large partof the animals in the zoological gardens throughout the country belongs to circuses. Barnum & Balley, for instance, own nearly three-elghths of the animals in the Central Park meneagerie, but they are practically the eity's property, as the show has no use for them, and they are left in the park year after sear. James A. Bailey has bought more animals than any man in this country, and heis therefore lookedupon asan authority, upon prices. The figures here given are his. While there is a fixed scale, which Is varied slightly from time to time by the supply and demand, there are other things that rezulate prices. Lhe value of some animals depends entirely upon the usestawhichthey may be putina show, eltherexhivition or utilitarian, For instance, Jumbo cost originally $10,000,which subsequent expenses, including transporta- tion, increased 0 $28,000. The public interest in the great beast increased his value 60 much that Wei the owner of the big wooden elephant at Coney Island made a proposition torent the elephant for the summer, Mr. Bailey made thls reply: Jumbo is worth to our show $30,000 per week, and we wl list you have him for twen- ty-six weeks for 5700, 000.“ Chico and Joklanůua, the gorilla and the chimpanzee, cost $5,000 and $3,750 respective- ly, but they could not now be bought for sev- eraltimes that sum. Strange to say, ele- phants are cheapest in the United States of all the countrie: on the globe. The reason for thisis that elepbants are a glut in the animal market. Not long agothe Barnum show shipped sixteen back to Europe. At that time the show had forty-four elephants, It now has Ywenty. The market price of ordinary elephants now varies from $1,500 to $4,000, accordingtosizsand temper, At one time r. Bailey had in his London show five performing elemants, which were valued at $120 ,000. Of all antmals which are not trained to per- form astonishiag tricks, the most valuable are giraffes. They are quoted at $6,000 each, and they are pretty steady at that figure.

Williams With the Indorsement of the National Board to Support Him Is Ready for the Co f tost. 4 „ * The trouble which has been fermenting in the Children’s Home Society of Missouri for a long time is about to culminate in the fall either of District Superintendents W. H. HII - ton and Isadora Dowden or State Superin- tendent Rev. O. F. Willlams. The parties have been at variance for over a year, but Mr. Williams has triumphed, even in the Na- tional Board, It was assumed that the de- cision of the National Board in favor of Mr. Williams abated the disturbance in the Missour! Auxiliary, but the friends of Miss Dowden met at Central Christian Church, Finney avenue, near Grand avenue, on Feb. 6, and in a mild way took issue with the action of the National Board. What they did was to demand that a meeting of the State Board be called, before which Miss Dowden will have an opportunity to prove her charges against Mr. Williams and the latter will be privileged to refute the same, The callforthe meeting was issued yesterday. It willbe held in Bowman Hall, 1605 Lucas place, Tuesday, March 6, at 9:20 a. m. HOW IT STARTED. The dispute between Mrs. Williams and the two District Superintendents started in re- proofs which the State Superintend- ent gave Mr. Hilton and Miss Daw- den, They ,took amiss his allegation that they were guilty of irregularities in their territories, and they went to the length of organizing a rival Children’s Home at‘ hillicothe, their home. This action of theirs raised a storm, which by all appear- ances has not yet ceasedto blow. WN ith the rise of the rival society, the issue has changed until the dispute almost amounts toa question of which isthe legitimate or- ganization. As already stated, r. Wiillams received the support ofthe Nationai Board, but Mr. Hilton and Miss Dowden do notes- teem that as the court of last resort, for with the aid of friends in the regular State Board they have broug!it about a called meeting of that body to pass upon the difference between them and Mr. Williams. The National Board, at its meeting at headquarters in Chicago, gave its decision for Mr. Williams in terms not to be mistaken, as the following indicates: NATIONAL BOARD’S DECISION. The National Board of the Children’s Home Soci- ety, in quarterly session, Dec. 20, 1893, has had submitted to lt documentary evidence over the sig- natures of W. H. Hilton aud Miss Isadora Dowden, the organizers of the rival society at Chillicothe, in iteconsideration of the matter of the disruption of the Childrea’s Home Society of Missouri, and unanimousiy reaffirms ite action of last Juse. Resolved. That the Nationa! Board heartily in- dorses the Children's Home Society of Missouri! and the administration of its Superintendent, Rev. C. F. Wililams, whom we know to de a man of high character and unbending integrity, and we declare the Children's Home Society of Missouri to be the one and only society inthe State in union with the National organization and entitled to bearits name and to use its trade mark and cireulate its literat- ure. JOHN WOODBRIDGE, President Society, N H. AXTELL, Chairman pro tem. THOMAS GALT, Recording Secretary. As if the resolution was not sufficiently forceful, essrs. M. V. B. Van Arsdale, Gen- eral Superintendent, and Frank M. Gregg, Assistant General Superintendent, saidin a circular containing the resolution: We further state that by correspondence we have been familiar for more than eighteen months with the matter of the antagonistic attitude of District Superintendents W. H. Hilton and Miss Isadora Dowden to State Superintendent Williams. More than a year ago Mr. Hiiton visited the national headquarters and fully stated the from his stand point. We have had before us all the essential facts and details, If the State Superintendent, in his intense loyaity to right, has at any time used wuoneeessarily harsh language in reproof of the irregularities of these persons, he has been prompt to recognize it and to make honorable amend; but the proof of the irregu- laritiesis unmistakabie. We trust that to all candid persons the above unequivocal and emp atic ex- pression of the Mational Board will be conelnsive and final. It thus appears thatthe grievance at the formation of the rival organization was the more serious because the newcomer appro- priated the apparel of the older society. This aspect of the case becomes more appar- entinthelight ofthe official minutes of the meeting of the society held as long ago as May 11, 1893, in First Christian Church. The minutes say: The President, the Rev. John D. Vineil, D. D., in his address, made serions objection to the meth- ods employed by two former District uperintend- ents— Rer. W. H. Hilton of Chillicothe and Miss Isadore Dowden—who have not only organizeda second society upon territory which, by vested right under its earlier ¢harter, belosgs to the State organization, but have used its name and literature and emblems, and have corgtined to receive funds supposed by the to doe given to the Children’s Society of Missourl, The Presideat demanded that rival so- cieties upon Missouri territory, attempting to duplicate the work of the State organization, shontd at least sall under their own colors and not confuse the minds of the charitably disposed by using literature distiactively belonging to tbe Children’s Home Society, which both natienal!y and asa State seciety disclaims any counection with or responsibility for the private enterprise inaugu- rated at Chillicothe by the above-named two par- ties, formerly in the employ of the Children’s Aome Society of Missouri, WILLIAMS IS READY. Rev. Mr. Williams, who is a divine highly esteemed by his brethren, bas the kindliest regard for the refractory district superin- tendents and for those who have espoused their cause. While he regards the action of the National Board as conclusive, he does not object to a thorough and full hearing by the State Board. The meeting of Miss Dowden’s friends was held, as previ- ously said, at Uentraj Christian Church. Rev. Frank Tyrrell is the pastor, and, it is said, was among Miss Dowden’s advocates, Mr. Clara Han- My, A. . - dames H. Rev. an Se St. ose ph; Mrs. 8. 3 Culver, . uis; Parkio; Rev. R. db Brank.

RABOTEAU & CO., 74 NORTH BROADWAY, OPP. UNION AARKET, HYDROPHOBIA Communicated to, Three by a Dog, a Calfand a Cow. TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 24.—Three members of the family of M. L. Newcomb are dangerously ill with hydrophobia at their country home two miles south of thiscity, and their phy- sicilans say that death is inevitable. A short time ago Mr. Newcomb’s New- foundland dog began to show signs of hydro- phobia. It snapped at everyone and showed all the signs that indicated it. The dog dis- appeared and has not been seen since, The day after the disappearance of the dog Mr. Newcomb’s horse had several convulsions. It was shot, though not before it had attacked Mr. Newcomb and dit him on the shoulder. Mr. Newcomb came tothe city in a thoroughly frightened state of mind, and it was found that the skin was broken where the horse bit him. He isin terrible suffering. Hardly had the excite- mient subsided when another animal was taken with spasms, This time it Was a young calf. Miss Lulu Newcomb was teaching the calfto drink milk, when it was suddenly taken with convulsions, and soon died. Miss Newcomb hada sore on her hand, and some of the calf’s saliva got into it, and symptoms of hydrophobia quickly appeared. After the calf, a cow went mad and had to be killed. It happened that young NewcomD also got some of the poison saliva of the cow into a sore in his hand while he was giving it medi- cine. His hand swelled up similar to that of the daughter. Mr. Newcomb isa man of about 70 years of age and of not much physical strength. His daughter is about 25. r. Newcomb is a pioneer and is well known ih this section of the State. IS MRS. LEASE A MASON? A Woman's Question Concerning the Eccentric Wcman’s Claim. Mrs. Mary Lease’s proposal to organize for women lodges in Masonry has occasioned, in men ofthis ancient and honorable order, a Silent and deeply mysterious amusement. Women themselves naturally see nothing funny inthe idea. They have successfully invaded all other fields once thought to be peculiar to man; why should Masonic teach- ings be considered beyond the reach of their capacities? It is singular that even the most zealous advocates of the rights of the sex have never made any demanu for Masonic knowledge. It bas not seemed to strike them that they ought to advance boldly upon this vast de- partment of occultisin, which the oppressor, with his usual narrowness, lias been Keeping to himself ever since the bullding of solo- mon’stemple. It is true that isolated fem- Inline attempts have from time to time been made upon the honor of individual Masons; men have been cajoled by wives. and sweet- hearts to give up the secrets of their prison- house, But it is not on record that, called thus to choose between the lady and the goat, any Knight of the square has proved false to the sacred quadruped, This fact alone makes Mrs. Lease’s promise of the deepest interest to Women. For Mrs. Lease seems to have accomplished what bitherto has been deemed impossible; and there ap- ars no good reason why siie should not carry out her design of disclosing all that she has managed to discover. Her assertion that she found rather funny’’ some of tke initiation rites of Ma- sonry is in the nature of a humiliating criti- | cism upon the pretensions of-this order which for ages bas maintained a tradition of truly awful profuncity, If a woman of Mrs. Lease’s recognized intelligence fluds some- thing pleasantly humorous in the symbolic ceremonies which Masonry has so long im- ba .

Mes a Ge . 2 a otis & * — 55 Repre of the New York Busi- ness Men's Association Leading the » Movement—He Telie of “Bogus Jewel- ry’ Schemes That Are Hurting Logitt- mate Trade. Norton Dexter, Secretary of the Business _ "Men's Association ot New York, has come to 5 * jewelers of this city, and in fact the @utire State, into a society for the purpose of making a crusade on wholesale frauds which, he says, are universally practiced in the Jewelry business to Louis for the purpose of organizing the incalculable dealers and the injury ot the honest their patrons. Mr. Dexter was in con- sultation with President Herman Mauch ot the Missouri Retan Jewelers’ Association $6. wold-filled case yesterday, and iast evening called a meeting ot the lobal retail jewelers for next Friday night, at 822 Locust street. At that meeting the Retall Jewelers’ Protective As- sociation will very likely be organized and the preliminaries arranged fora wholesale raid on the fakes and deceits practiced by sharpers to the detriment of the legitimate jewelry business. Mr. Deater was seen at Room 377 at the Lin- Geil last evening by a representative of the Post-DisPaTcu to whom he outlined the ob- Jects of his visit to this city. MR. DEXTER TALKS. There is no doubt, says Mr. Dexter, **that the legitimate retail jewelers and their patrons as well suffer greatly from illegitimate jewelry sales. The illegiti- mate sales include the fake auction sale, the $9.98 watch fraud, the nickel-in-the- slot game, the fraudulent stamp deceit, and various other descriptions. Every sharp device by which the public is induced to turn over money to irresponsible people for jew- elry, of the quality of which they know noth- ing, hurts the legitimate jewelry trade and when our association is organized Friday night its first step will de to have a United States Assayer assay all the jewelry sold in the city by ali classes of mer- chants, venders, fakirs and all, and publish the results of his inyestigations. When a United States Assayer says a piece of jewelry is worth so much you can gambie that it is worth ust that amount and when we have a United States assayer look up the jewelry sold in thiscity and pubiish his conclusions we hope to expose clearly to the public the various frauds pro- duced by the jewelry fakirs and show the true merits of the goods sold by the legiti- mate dealers.’’ THE METHODS AIMED AT. . **Now in regard to these various frauds. Th nickel-in-the-slot machine into which a man is induced to drop anumberof coins inthe hope of getting a pair of cuff buttons, for example, if his nickel rolls the right way,is adeception that operates detrimentally tothe retail jéwelry trade, as it generally makes a poor man pay out more money thanan inferior price of jewelry is really worth for something he is not even sure of getting. This tends tounderminea considera bie portion of the legiti- mate trade. The fake auction sales do likewise. 1am told they are held quite frequently here in St. Louis and other cities in this State. The organizing of the jewelers of St. Louls next Sunday night wi'l be preliminary to the drafting of a bill similar to the one in force in New York, which prohibits the holding of might auction sales of jewelry. Wherever they are held, they are obliged to take place between the hours of sunrise and sunset, or rather, no sales can occur after sunset. This law has practically killed this branch of illegitimate trade, as the stock sold during the day will scarcely pay store rent. It is in the evening, after the closing of factories and shops, that these dealers get in their work. By gaslight they are better to fleece thelr patrons and draw larger crowds. These auction sales of jewelry, 80 called, are schemes of the manufacturer to dispose of cheap goods. He produces an in- finitely larger amount of them than he does of legitimate stock for the legitimate dealer. There is more money in shoddy jewelry than in genuine. These stocks in auction sales are not wholly made up of bogus goods. They are mixed with the regular articles sold in the jewelry store, some pleces are as fine as can be purchased. The poor people always get caugut by tricks, They pay good prices for inferior articles. Here is another way in which the ig norant are fieeced by the iliegitimate sale. Tue manufacturer sends out his agent with, say astock of watches. This agent calls upon the clothier, informs him that he has a une line of watches which he desires to Place in his store for sale. Ue Mers the clothler a commission and noresponsibility. The agent attends to the advertising. in the name ot the clothter. His ads are alluring to poor working people, boys, and men who wish to possess watches, and are caught bythe notice of their sale at low figures. The clothier atiracts trade to himself by having the watches in his store. After the stock is sola, the agent is nowhere to be found, and the clothier has not promised to keep the watches in repair. One of these watches assayed-by the United States government was found to contain 15.1 grains of gold, worth 65 cents, which with a cheap Elgin works brought the entire works up to about bad deen sdvertised as a $35, and sold for $9.98. months the gilt wears offand the watch is unfit to carry. Willoughby & Hill, a Chicago firm of clothiers, were induced to place one of the cheap stocks of watchesintheirstore. The Jewelers’ Association called upon them, ex- 14 the fraud, and the agent was or- ered to pack his goods and get out. That's the way we’lltreatthem in St. Louis after able woe get fairly started.“ ABSENCE OF PROHIBITORY LAWS. „The absence of any law in Missouri, or lu any other State in the Union, for that mat ter, makingita criminal offense to stamp jewelry fraudulently, encourages this busi- hess. I have in mind a firm that turns out rings marked i8k gold which, assayed by the Government, were found to contain just 8k. This busines could not be carried on in En- gland, N or France.

EPIDEMIC OF MENDACITY. Sets at Rest the Malady. AA representative of the press saw President Cleveland this even- ing at the execut mansion regarding the reports that have been circulated in some newspapers for the past two or three days to the effect that the President was suffering from a serious malady, and was about to have an operation performed. Concerning these reports the President said: I have been engaged every day in my office on public business, and have evety day seen the people who called—Senators, Representatives and others. Nothing would have been easier than to ascertain the ub- solute falsify of these reports. I am forced to conclude that there is an epidemic of mendacity emanating from the dull and stupia brains of some of these corres- pondents. These men must be influenced either by a desire to deéeive the public or to annoy those affected by their disreputable work. Those who read newspapers should understand the extent to which their credui- ity is calculated upon. When the representative of the press en- tered the President’s business office at the White House this evening he found Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Thurber engaged in clearing the desk of the accumulation of public business. Mr. Cleveland never looked better in his life. His eye was bright, his color good and his volce bearty and strong. To-day he re- ceived a large number of callers in his office, and at 1:15 p. m. shook hands with 850 people in the East Room. At 4 0’clock he drove about the city for more than an hour in an open carriage and to-night he is hard at work at his desk, where he will remain until long after midnight. This night is no exception tothe generalrule. Itcan be said with per- fect assurance that all reports to tthe effect that the President is not in good health are entirely without foundation. ITHACA’S DISGRACE. Trying to Fix the Responsibility for the Crime at the Students' Banquet. ITHaca, N. T., Feb. 24.—Developments in regard to the student banquet are coming in altogether too slow for the expectant public. The Coroner says that he is doing everything possible to solve the mystery and that he has several clews which he does not deem it wise to have published at present. One of the jurymen said to-day that a professor had proposed to have every sophomore examined verbally, but this appears much too cumber- some atask, as there are about 200 in the university. Letters from the alumni are pouring in lamenting the affair, and urging dectsive action by the faculty. The fatal and terribly disgraceful affair was the result of enmity between the fresh- menand sophomores, and culminated last Wednesday night. It cannot be definitely stated who is re- sponsible forthe outrage, but itis the gen eral opinion, as a matter of course, that the act was inspired, at least, by the sopho- mores. The freshmen forthe past week have been making preparations for thecelebration ofr their class banquet, which is the greatest event in the first year of college life. Eo secretly were their plans matured that not until Monday did it become generally known that the feast would be held in Masonie Hall, on Tioga Street. About two hundred and fifty members ot the class met in a patch of woods near the campus and were duly formed ina compact body by the fifty or more members ofthe juni or class, who, as is the custom here, vol- unteered their services“ as a guard to ald in resisting the expected attack ofthe sopho- mores, The freshmen, surrounded and closely guarded by the juniors, moved down the hiil and through the town toward the banquet- ing hall. Within half a square of their desti- Nation, the body was set upon by a crowd of about one hundred sophomores, who show- ered them with bad eggs and potatoes, and made violent attempts to break up and scatter the company, Their efforts were unavailing, however, thanks to the ready fists of the juniors and to the fact that the freshman stuck together like burrs. When the freshmen reached the entrance tothe banqueting hall which 1s on the third floor of the building, they plunged up the stairs, followed by a parting volley of bad eggs and worse language. In a few minutes they were seated about the tables, while the juniors had mounted guard over the doors. At the head of each fiight of stairs were posted half a dozen juniors, who, clad in sweaters and armed with clubs, stood ready and anxious for the opportunity to resist the entrance of anyone not entitled to participate in the celebration, Thus far everything had gone smoothly, and although an extra force of police had been sworn in for the occasion they were not needed, for the tussles on the street had been quite good natured and no property was destroyed. Conspicuous in the group of students who were standing guard at the doors and stair- ways were the members of the Thirty Club, ajunior organization, who were dressed in ola clothes and sweaters, and had marked upon their foreheads in black craycn‘*XXX.’’ The serving of the banquet had commenced at about 10:80, andthe freshmen, with such of their junior friends as could be spared from guard duty, together with a few seniors and post-graduate students, settled themselves for an 8 of solid fun, which was to be intensified by the knowledge that the hated ‘sophs’’ had been folled. The first course had scarcely been served when a peculiarly pungent and suffoeating odor became distinctly perceptible in the smaliroom adjoining the banqueting hall in which che viands were being prepared. The odor qi ickly spread to the great hall crowded with the noisy freshmen, and in a few seconds many of the men were coughing violently. : Ihe odor was at once pronounced to be chlorine, an extremely dangerous gas. Sev- ral XXX“ men at once rushed into the room which was being used asa kitchen and attempted to find the source of the trouble, but the odor became so painful that many of the collegians as well as several of the wait - most seriously G. W. Patter- 7 Me 0 All of yas guards were overpowered while looking for source of the deadly vapor. The colored woman, Mary: Jackson, was next taken from the kitchen in à semi-con- - 6cious condition and carried to the office of a — near by. She did not recover con- clousness, and died about 11:80. — Alleged Lsad-Pipe Thief.

The American mother must read with an amused smile of the excitement among the good women of England over what they are pleased to call he Revolt of the Daugh- ters.“ The subject has long been agitating the soul of the British matron, but it re- mained for one Mrs. Crackenthorps to voice the feelings of the nation and to make that voice heard through the columns of the Nineteenth Century. Before Mrs. Craekenthorpe dpened up the subject in the dignified columns of that mag- azine, journals of lesser linportance had allowed the daughters to air their home grievances in their pages. Mrs. Oracken- thorpe read these sky signs’’ and shook hér head in shame that such things could be dis. cussed In print, But when an habitue of London society, a keen observer of manners’’ is heard to remark upon the very large percentage of households where ‘‘warfopen or concealed, exists between mother and daughter,’’ and a leading London doctor ‘‘confides toa friend that he is much concerned by a new phe- nomenon in his practice, to wit, the fre- quent presence in his waiting-room of moth- ers broken down in body and perplexed in mind over ‘difficulties’ with their grown-up daughters, and of daughters come to eonsult with him privately whose nerves have ‘gone wrong’ because, as they put their case, they are not ‘understood’ not ‘sympathized with’ by their mothers, this is significant indeed, Mrs. Crackenthorpe thinks that the time has come fer her to speak. Tne Napoleons and Wellingtons of this war hot shot at one another when Blucher,in the shape of Mrs. Crackenthorpe, rides up and throws herself into the fight. She pities the mothers, but sympathizes with the daughters. REBEL DAUGHTERS. They are young,.“ she says. They are vital. The springs of life, the thirstto taste its Joys, run very strong in their veins, They desire ardentiv to try things on theirown account. They long for the ‘unexpected,’ notalwaysthe ‘properly introduced,’’ still less the ‘well accredited’ of that sage and prudent ambassador, thelr mother. Far from them isthe desire for things that are wrong in themselves, They have no un- wholesome hankering for forbidden fruit. Their individuality is at this moment the strongest—and the most inconvenient—thing about them. They pray passionately to be allowed to travel ever so short way alone.“ But this is not to bethoughtof. ‘ihey must always be ‘‘personally conducted.“ Girton and Newnham Halls have done much to emancipate the young woman of to-day in England, and to make her discontented with the verdict of her parents, that she shall re- main indoors, or, at teast, inside the garden gate, tlllsome man comes along to marry her. Mrs. Crackenthorpe has no hesitation in saying that ‘‘the girl who sees her broth- ers equipped forany profession they may choose, while she herself is confined to the single one of marriage,is a really ill-used person,“ and I have no hesitation in saying that I guite agree with the lady in this state- ment, Let mothers,’’ she says, especially ‘good’ mothers, practice in secret the art of con- templating their daughters as part of a vast ‘collective’ youth, and not as higehly es- pecitalized young females, on whom no wind isto blew roughly, whose ears are to be stuffed into medicated cotton wool and whose slight is to be ever safeguarded by good, substantial blinkers, well tied on by the prudent parent. ADVICE TO MOTHERS. Mrs. Crackenthorpe is now talking of girls turned 20. The mother expects that her sons will frisk and in their frisking stray from the Straight path. Her best-loved son ‘‘must have his wanderjahre.’’ She cannot hold him back. she can only walt patiently for his return. ‘*Why not,’’ asks Mrs. Crackenthorpe, ‘fallow the possibility that nice girls, well- disposed girls, may also desire a mild sort of wanderjahre period, during which they, too, want not to break fences, but to get occa- sional glimpses of the landscape beyond the familly domain?’’ YOUNG GIRLS AND WILD OATS, But lask what form will this mild sort of wanderjahre’’ take? If she goes the pace of the son, will her return be awaited with the same patience, will she meet with the. same forgiveness? I fear not. I fear not. The ‘‘mild wanderjahre’’ that Mrs. Cracken- thorpe pictures is probably excursions into the realms of the higher education, or the dissipations of univergity extensions. es it not true, she exciaims, that the marriage ring is the governing authority which the mothers acknowledge and obey, although not fora moment will they admit it?’’ A social misdemeanor would spoil the daughter’s chances. To take an example: A girl wants exceed- ingly to hear Chevallier sing. This innocent desire can only, we wlil suppose, be gratified by a visit to a music hall in charge ofa brother. Now, music balis are not ‘nice places’—a nice giri, I. e., a promising candl- date in the marriage market, must on no ac- count be seen in one. The domestic flat 1s pronounced; the girl rages inwardly over the shams that govern her life. Ihere is her sister, only a year or two older, who married but a few months ago—she is free to visita music hall with her husband and friends, ‘Where is truth?’ cries the girl. ON MARRIAGE, The girl must not see such things before she marries. After marriage—the deluge— she may do what she likes, and she gener- ally does. On the subject of marriage Mrs. Cracken- thorpe preachesthe gospelof Sarah Grand, and this is what she has to say: When it comes to actual marriage—we feel that we are here on very delicate ground, but forward we must go—the mother we describe makes but onefinguiry after ways and means are satisfactorily established. Is the man free now from entanglements of any Kind, and can he be depended upon to re- maln so? Of the girl’s-passionate ideals, of her hot, burning heart, of the purity she brings as a flame tothe altar —for. in spite of the sound of laughter in the air, we main- tain that to many a girl marriage is still a sacrament—the mother recks not at all. Her knowledge ofthe world’ enables her to as- sure her daughter that wr. Jones will make a good and ‘‘dependable’’ husband.’ Is it too much to say that many mothers would be exceedingly shocked it their daugh- ter came to them saying she would like to be assured that the man she was about to marry had no ‘past’ to bury? Not so long ago a mother anxious to secure the best parti of many seasons achieved at last this signal triumph, and bore him triumphantly away for her daughter froma horde of angry rivals. At the Close of the interview which took place between her gratified self and the half-in- different son-in-law-to-be he remarked care- lessly: Well. you had better take —’s, mentioning the name of a legal expert ‘opinion as to whether I am free or not,’ which the lady did, her daughter Jending no unwilling band. Togetherthey sought the gentieman ofthe long robe, and being sat- isfied that the thing was sufficiently ‘safe,’ the wedding came off. (Admission to the church was by ticket only, lest unwelcome and uninvited guests should present them- selves.) It is almost a satisfaction to remem- ber that the last stage of that marriage was even worse than the first, Kepulsive as this story is, it is true.“ MARRIAGE A FAILURE. In summing up her case Mrs. Cracken- thorpe arrives atthe conclusion that there is but one remedy forthe strained relations that seem to exist between the average British motherand her daughter, and that is for the mother to recognige betimes that loyal friendship is the only lasting basis for this, as for ail other human relationship.“ Mrs. Crackenthorpe has been ans ed 1 the Nineteenth Century, her own battle — by Mrs. Frederick Harrison, who kes a more hopeful and more wholesome view of the situation.

The Hostile Meeting Between Audinet Gibert and Santa Maria. Paris, Feb. 24.—When Audinet Gibert ar- rived herea week ago last Monday, Senor Santa Maria had his seconds ‘*constituted’’ in anticipation of a hostile message. Mr. Gilbert, in order to put the journals off the trac de no sign until yesterday, when hisc nge was presented in due form, San aria’s seconds, however, were off on another mission in Switzerland, and the encounter has been deferred untl next week. The scandal will have additional chapters, as Senor Santa Maria proposes to divulge the contents of documents he refused to give publicity to in the New York courts. The threatened duel grew out of the family troubles of the Giberts. Mrs. Gibert sued ber husband for divorce in the New York courts and was granted a decree of separa- tion from her husband, It is said Senor Santa Maria, though in no wise a co-respondent, aided Mrs. Gibert in her fight against her husband. The part he took in effecting the legal separation led Audinet Gibert to proclaim his intention of calling out Santa Maria, which he proceeded to do, as stated above. M’KANE’S INCOME, AiNew York Widow Who Charges That Some of It Belongs to Her. New York, Feb.24.—Some light was thrown on the source of John Y. McKane’s income by u local paper filed to-day in the Kings County Clerk’s office. Catherine Bauer, widow of Paul Bauer of Coney Island, and Kate Bauer,her daughter, asked foran accounting from McKane for money received as trustee of the Paul Bauer estate. The papers set forth that Paul Bauer died Jan. 2, 1889. Mrs. Bauer and McKane were appointed ad- ministrators. Bauer was owner of an equity of redemption at the time of his death of property at Coney Island. The property was sold at public auction on Feb. 7, 1889, under foreclosure in a Supreme Court action, in which Horace K Thurber was the complain- ant. McKane became the purchaser of the property on behalf of the defengant, and put the title in his own name, but now holds it for the plaintiffs, who are the real owners. Af- ter he so acquired the property, on which was bullt the Casino Hotel and other build- ings they were destroyed by fire. The com- plaint alleges that McKane received and con- verted to his own usethe Insurance money, and ever since he acquired the property he has collected the rent and has built houses and raised money by mortgages on the prop- erty. The widow alleges that McKane has never accounted toher forthe money he has re- ceived and stillrefuses to do so. On the con- trary, he has kept the money for his own use, to the amount of $40,000 per year, except $3,000, which he has paid her in small amounts. Mrs. Bauer demands an account- ing. NORMAN L. MUNRO DEAD. ~ The Great New York Publisher Succumbs to a Surgical Operation. NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Norman L. Munro, well Known to the American public as a pub- Usher and yachtsman, died this evening in hisapartmentsinthe Hoffman House from the effects of an operation on him Friday for the removal of the vermi- form appendix. He had not been well for several months, having suffered from rheumatism. He continued to visit his office every day and spent several hours looking after his business. On Thursday he complained to his wife that he felt a series of indefinite pains in his side. As his son Henry had an operation performed on him for appendicitis he thought he might be suf- fering from the same trouble. Mrs. Munro did not countenance the idea for a minute. but to be certain about the matter she calied in Dr. Pease, the hotel physician. Dr. Pease was uncertain as tothe matter, as the all- ment had not sufficiently developed. Dr. Abbe was summoned ihe following day. Thursday the pains had been so localized that there could be no doubt as tothe disease and an operation was decided on. It was performed Friday noon by Drs. Abbe and Weir. It lasted about one hour and a halt and during that time the patient was under ether. The appendix was found to be in a highly inflamed condition and the doctors concluded that, the seat of the disease hav- ing been removed, the patient would re- cover. He rallled this morning and talked very confidently of his recovery to his wife. During the afternoon he suffered a relapse but remained conscious almost to the time of his death. His wife, his brother, George, and his daughter, Norma, were with him when he died. He was born in Nova Scotia about fifty-one yearsago. He was a farmer until he was 28; then he came to New York to enter the em- ploy of his brother, George, who was es- tablished as a publisher. Later he started a gore business of big own, which was a success from the first. In twen- ty-seven years in which he worked as a pub- lisher he accumulated a fortune ot over $1,000,000. The extent of his enterprise may be inferred from the fact that when he brought sult in 1886 for an infringement ofa patent he made affidavit that he had spent $350,000 the year before for advertising alone. His business methods were marked by brilliant strokesofenterprise. When Zola’s novel Nana“ was published frst in Paris for instance, he had it cabled to this city and placed on sale in the streets the following Out of this alone he realized an enor- TO BUCHAREST. Roumanian Appointment of Bishop Zar- detti of St. Cloud. MILWAUKEE, Wls., Feb. 24.—Bishop Zar- detti of St. Cloud, Minn., has been appointed Archbishop of Bucharest, Roumania. This announcement was made here to-day. Bishop Zardettl, who, is being treated at the St. Joseph water cure, will remain in Milwaukee until he receives the om cial papers from Rome. Bishop Zardettt, when interviewed on the sub- ject, said he was unwilling to anticipate om - cial information, but indirectly admitted the truth of the report. When seen to-night Fr. Abbelen said the report was no doubt true, but 2 than this would not discuss the matter. STAND BY BENHAM. Ameriean Officials at Washington Do Not Credit British Reports. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The bitter com- ments ofthe English newspapers upon the report that Admiral Benham, in command of the United states naval forces at Rio, recently conveyed a water boat to the British steamship Nasmyth after the British naval commander at Rio had refusedto undertake the task, are belleved here to be based upon an erroneous conception of the facts. It is' not believed that Admiral Benham has done this, but if he has it is felt that there are circumstances which when known will entirely justify Admiral Benham’s course. It is not deed that it would have been an act of question- able propriety, ifit should have been done with full knowledge of the attitude of the British admiral. Heretofore the British and American naval forces have worked in per- fect harmony in South American waters and have never failed to extend protection to a merchantman ofeither nation when a war- ship of the nationality was notat hand. In the case of the Pacific squadron this practice has gone tothe length of an agreement b which the two squadrons take turns in guard; ing American and British interests at the different posts. But the rule has been to abstain from when a war- ship of the nationality of the mer- chant vessel affected is in port. It does pot appear, however, even if Admiral Benham has broxen this practice, thathe has given the British Government any ground tora formal protest. If he has assumed any undue responsibility it Is towards the Brazilian Government which au- thorized him to protect American interests andifthe Insurgents had resisted his at- tempt to relieve the the Nasmyth, and by fir- ing upon the convoying vessel, had led lea to a hostile demonstration the result might have beea to seriously entangle the United States in an internation- al dificalty. Up to this time the official ad- vices received at the State and Navy Depart - ments fall to mention the incident and there- fore the conclusion is drawn that it has no importance. interference NO NEW FACTS. Unimportant Testimony Given in the Pollard- Breckenridge Case. LEXINGTON, Feb. 24.—There was nothing sensational or even interesting inthe depo- sitions taken here to-day in the Pollard- Breckenridge case. A number of gentlemen testified as to Col. Breckenridge’s where- abouts on certain dates, which testimony tended to show that he could not have been at the places Miss Pollard said he was on those dates. The defense will have probably one more witness to examine Monday and then the plaintick's attorneys will take a few depositions. LEWIS’ STATEMENT CONTRADIOTED, DANVILLE, Ky., Feb. 24.—The brothers of Hon. A. M. Swope, William and James, are investigating the depositions of Dr. T. M. Lewis taken yesterday in the Breckinridge scandal case, in which the latter testified that their brotber asked him to perform a criminal operation on Miss Poll They Genounce as absolutely false thes made by the physician that he saw Ooi, Swope in the autumn of 1885, and that jwope told Nm the child had been Dorn and good home, as Swope was then traveling in Europe and did not return until Ohrist- mas. They say further tbh the idea of Col. Swope discussing the détails of such an operation with Dr. Lewis upon a business street is preposterous, when it is known that the physician is very hard of ring. The Swopes went to the home of Dr. Lewis and told him that he lied and Knewthat he lied when he gave his testimony, Both par- tles have been consulting lawyers here and there is no telling how the controversy will end.

Dy dear-bought experience it came to be _ Known that there are mushrooms and musn- rooms. and that a majority of the five senses must concur as to the presence of certain Characteristics before any specimen may “@afely be offered at public sale. The ‘‘ex- rts’’ who relied upon odor, those who de- uded upon color or markings, and a third Class who consulted only taste failed alike to Getect the ‘‘toadstool,’’ and numerous funerals followed. By degrees it dawned upon the cooks and the epicures that safety could be had only through the careful study of every species. The botanists set to work to increase their little inherited store of learning concerning what promised to Decome as common as the potato, on the tables of the well-to-do, at least, and all Q@greed that if master and Cook where alike ignorant there was no safety in indulgence. State boafds of health, naturalists’ con- Ventions and assemDiles of chemists toox hold of the subject, and ere long the peo- ple came to understand, ina very vacue and weneral way, that two mushrooms growing side by side, and possessing many characteristics in common migiit be, one a nutritious food, and the other a rank poison. And as soon as the Federal Bureau of Agriculture was in running order the mushroom family was made the subject of careful aud competent botanical, clemical and microscopical study. VALUABLE DISCOVERIES. To-day there are included in the writ- ings upon the subject several carefully pre- pared treatises handsomely and accurately illustrated by the tiovernment. These treatises contain information for propa- ®ator, for cook, for epicure and for sclen- tist, as tothe habitats the individual char- acteristics. and the chemical composi- tion of a dozen or twenty of the common varileties—ed!bie aid poisonous Deing dealt with impartially, and, as tar as these pubiications show, existing in about equal numbers throughout America. In dealing with some of the popular tests for the Cetection of poisonous mushrooms it is stated that neither the discoloration ofa silver spoon, the change in color upon being ‘cut, northe existence or absence of vivid color are certain indications of poison or the contrary; and yet al! these signs are admitted to possess some Value. The only sure means, itis ciaimea, of determining when a given plant or mess may be safely eaten, is to have it passed upon by one who has been gener- ally educated upon species. The department of Agriculture has, upto the present time, given out accurate descriptions of twenty- four edibie and twelve poisonous mushrooms foundinthe United States, and has lus- trated most of the species, voth poisonous and edible, with colored plates, which are, after oll, the surest means at the commana of the inexpert cook or the prudent epicure. SOME GENERAL TESTS. Te general advice of these reports is that all mushrooms found growing in filthy places should be rejected; also those which when the gills are bruised yield a white milk. The common puff-ball, for table use, should have @ white flesh, a firmtexture, and should be . from insects. The small, warty pur. N Dall is not to be used.

Water- int beds with a weak solution of nitrate of potash been known to stimu. latethe mushrooms to enormous growth. Whether the beds are made in butidings con- structed for the purpose, or in caves. or trenches, or cellars, or what not, it is mainly essential, in addition to the provision of good spawn and proper bed material, that the temperature of the beds should be main- tained at 80 deg. Fahrenhett, and the tem- perature of the surrounding atmosphere at from 60 to 7o—not below the ons nor above the other. GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR MEAT. The nutritive properties of mushrooms are well understood by students of food prod- ucts. In Russia, Germany, Italy and the south of France mushrooms furnish the peasantry andoften the working classes in the cities witha food that takesin part the place of meat, of which they are often de- prived. The use of mushrooms. exclusively for food is not inconsistent with the preser- vation of health. A mountaineer of Thurin- giais said tohave lived upon nothing but mushrooms tor thirty years. The foregoing facts fully account forthe magnitude of the mushroom- growing industry in mearly all parts of southern Europe, but particularly France, Germany and Italy. One proprietor at Montague, France, had from a cave each day 400 pounds. There are in this cave six or seven miles of mushroom beds, and this is but one of a number in the immediate locality. In the vicinity of Paris are almost numberless caves made by quarry- ing out rock for building, and here mush- room raising for the Paris market is carried on on an immense scale. This, too, in spite of the great cost of bringing together the materials for the beds, the equale tempera- ture being a more thancompensating advan- tage, Within recent years the mushroom raising industry has attained very respect- able proportions inthis country. It has not been many years since a Chicagoan excited first the ridicule, then the envy and last the admiration of the market gardening world by starting a mushroom cellar; and now every large city boasts one or more places where mushrooms are grown for the home market, anda restaurant Where mushrooms are not served to him who can buy is indeed fur below epicurean tone, SHOULD BE MORE POPULAR. Because the industry is novel and not r The Conical Bea. the business on any considerable scale and room is valuable. The beds once made ot a firm, close-fitting texture, the manure soon begins to warm again. When the heap Is thoroughly warm it is ready for the spawn. SPAWN OF THE MUSHROOM, Generally speaking, the spawn is supposed to be analogous to seed. Really it is what might be termed the vegetation of the plant, analogous to roots, stems and leaves of ordi- nary plants, the stem, head and gillsof the mushroom being. in fact, its fruit. Mush- room spawn is found in a natural state in half-decomposed manure heaps, and rarely in very molst materiais. This natural spawn isthe best for artificial propagation. The mold, which is a primary, though not always certarn, sign of mushroom spawn, has the odor of mushroems, and is very easily recognized, it may be dried and kept for years. To preservespawn found in this natural state itis only necessary to take up carefully the parts of the manure in which It ig found, breaking the pieces no more than 18 necessary, and drying them thoroughly in — — , , A ; othe 4 . * A, sth fie „ N iy ~~ , . i — 4, 8 Scaly Mushroom.

How universal has become their use during ‘the last quarter of a century up to the pres- ent day, when everybody, rich and poor alike, wears them, can be best shown bya few figures, Last year 3,000,000 dozen pairs \ of kid gloves were imported intothis country from Europe, and 1,000,000 dozen pairs were manufactured in this country. The great reduction in the price of kid gloves, as well as the manufacture of an in- inferior grade unknown twenty-five years ago, has put them within the reach of almost every one. Fine gloves, which were made entirely by hand, each individual pair being cut out with scissors, and costing $a pair then, are made by machine to-day and can be bought for $1.50. And they are not only as good as they werethen, but much better, for in Keeping with the reduction of prices, the style and finish have improved, Then, ladies’ kid gloves required much less materialto cut, having generally but one button, and never over two. To-day no giove is made, even inthecheapest grade, with less than four buttons, while the pop- ular length is an eight-button mousquetalire, HAND-MADE GLOVES. The French glovemakers are unquestion- ably the best, as they were the ploneers in the industry. While fine gloves are made in England and Belgium, the finest grade comes from France. Grenoble and Chaumont. in France, are the two principal places where the industry is almost exclusively devoted to glovemakineg. In Paris a superfine grade is stiil manufactured entirely by hand. How- ever, this grace, owing to the cost, is not imported to this country very extensively. A hand-made glove is not appreciated here as it is in Europe, where, especially in France, lautes of intense refinement and the highest social position still cling to the old- time sentiment that it Is vulgar to wear un- aerwear, gloves, bandkerchiels and varioug other articles of personal apparel that are not made by band. The only advantage which a hand-made glove possesses Over One sewed Dy machine is that the seams are softér and never break. There isacertain poetry, too, in the way that most of the hand-made gioves have nearly always been made. A quarter of a Century ag glove- making amogg a certain class of French women was an almost uni- versal trade. They were. taught to make gloves asin some parts at Europe the peas- ants are taught to make lace. The women did not work in shops or factories, but made gloves in conjunction with the cares of housekeeping and rearinga family. Many a fine lady’s gloves have been stitched between the rockings ofa fretful infant. A hand-seweda glove is sald to require 2,500 stitches, being made witha tiny needle less than half an inch in length. It is impossible for an expert to make more than three of four pairs a day, working steadily. The price paid for this work is 8 francs 50 centimes a dozen, or 70cents. The glove-maker's am- bition was to makea dozen during a week, the proceeds of which w epent regularly onthe Sunday holiday, to Which all French people look forward with impatient anticl- pation. The cheaper grades of kid gloves imported to this country are manufactured in Ger- many, Italy and Austria. Prague, in Bo- hemia, is another place where glove-making is one of the principal industries. FINE GRADES NOT MADE HERE. In this country glove making is a compara- tively new thing, and was only taken up when, for certain purposes, a heavy, coarse kid glove took the plate of woolen ones. The principal places where gloves are manu- factured extensively in America are Johns- town and Gloversville, N. Y. The style of glove manufactured there is almost exclu- sively lined gloves, such as are worn by car drivers and choahmen, Thecuttingis done with a hatchet-shapea machine, which cuts 150 pairs ata stroke. There is no maker of fine gloves in large quantities in America. A few large dealers. whose gloves are made efclusively for them by European manufacturers, do in special cases manufacture gloves on a limited scale. Sometimes a hand is an odd size or peculiar shape, and cannot be fitted in a ready-made glove. Or, as is frequently the case, gloves are made to match the Costume in color. These. however, being exteptional cases, do not interfere with the statement that fine | gloves are not manufactured in this country. The experience of M. Ohanut, a Parisian glovemaker, who started a well-appointed factory at New Rochelle, N. I., ten years a go. with the intention of making fine gloves, was such a disastrous anda expensive failure that he bas never had any folio wers, Manufacturers general contend’ that while it is posst ole to make fine gloves here as well as in Europe, yet with the present tariff of 20 per cent ad vaprem on the skins and higher wages here it ig cheaper for them to import fine gloves tha it is to manufac- ture them. For instance, A kidskin of a fine quality, imported and rea to cut, is worth $1.25. Only one pair of @ gloves can be made out of one skin. The cost of making a fopr-button piquet, machine-sewed glove is hz cents, not in- cluding the buttons, wWRich are worth 3 cents, making the actual cost 51.90%. In order to sell this glove a profit it must bring at least $2.25. At 816 A dozen a glove of precisely the same quality |s imported, which sells at retail for $1.75. It Ha strong demand to make on the purchaser's patriotism and his belief in home industry to expect him to pay $2.25 for an article simply because it was made in his own country;when he can buy the same thing imported 3 COST.

In arriving at tan as a standard color there have been many variations during the past quarter of a century, and it is with an Irre pressible smile of amusement that the older dealers refer to the apple-green kid glove with one button, so fashionable twenty years ago.. There was an attempt last year on the part of several enterprising dealers about Christ - mas in the way of novelties to revive some of the colors fashionable in 1870. One dealer told a reporter that,after a prolonged fallure inthe attemptto sell them to his regular customers, Who all said ‘‘they were very pretty, but they would take a pair of tans to-day,’’ a happy thought suggested that he display them in the window. The conse- quence was that, being unusual, they at- tracted the attention of men, who purchased them for Christmas presents for their wives and sweethearts. For a week after Christmas the salesgiris of that particular store were kept busy ex- changing the gloves for something more modern. To-day they are packed away on an uppér shelf, where they have been Dan- ished by their disgusted maker. They will probably remain in their ban- ishment for several years, when another happy thought will suggest to thelr maker that he have a bargain sale, And then, at 49 cents a pair, the usual bargain figure, they will tall an easy prey to the bargain hunter. A CHANCE FOR LANDLUBBERS Miss Columbia Wants 1,800 Sailors. Sober Men and Tree. WasHInoton, D. C., Feb. 20.—There are three classes on board a modern man-of- war —the officers, ordinary seamen and the landsmen. Landsmen need not Know any- thing about handling a boat of any kind on the high seas. The 1,800 will all be landsmen and they will be enlisted during the spring by the recruit- ing ships at the various American navy- yards. This willgive an opportunityto a few of the robustunemployed. No doubt the officers of the famous old Vermont, which 18 the recruiting ship atthe Brooklyn Navy- Yard, willreceive ten times as many applli- cations as there are places, but even then they may not be able to get 1,800 men of just the sortthey want. Miss Columbia is very exacting when it comes to the menjwho enter her service. Asallor must be unmarried, and between 21 and 30 years of age. He must have never beenin jail. He must be sound physically and willing to work. The pay of the lands. man is $16 per month; of ordinary seaman, $19 per month, and of petty officers, which 16 the highest place an enlisted man can reach, from $25 to $70 per month. This includes board, but does not include clothes. Jack Tar has to buy his own togs out of his hard- earned money. For his money is hard earned, and anyone who thinks otherwise had better not enlist. Furling and unfurling sallsis a very small part of the duty of a crew upon a modern cruiser. Jack is up at 5 o’clock in the morn- ing in summerand6o0’clock in the morning in winter, and he is kept busy cleaning brass works, scrubbing the deck, manning the guns, drilling and undergoing inspection until ‘‘taps’’ in the evening at in the winter and at 10 in the summer. The * chance he has to have a lark is when his ship is in port and he gets a day off on land, quite time enough to At | a month’s salary. If he is disobedient and surly he is punished by being locked up in a coll and put on bread and water, or b being quarantined upon his ship when sheis in port, the hardest to bear of ali punishments. The cost of a salilor’s clothes and of his sleeping mattress is 660. His wardrobe con- gists of six suits in all. His parade dress is the best, and the cheap duck ‘étogs,’’ which he wears when he is cleaning off the the deck the poorest. Miss Columbia fur- nishes him with the clothes as soon as he is safely on the recrulting ship, and she holds back his pay until his debt is liquidated. But sometimes he ‘‘skips the brig’’ when the boat is in port, and Miss Columbia loses doth clothes and sailor. Miss Columbia feeds her sallors better than Jobn Bull, Emperor William or any bouy else. No one can complain about the food, it is wholesome, and there is plenty of it. The men sleep ina hammock, but a hammock 18 the easiest bed in the world once one ig ac- eustomed to it.

A dozen of these gariments was imported a short time ago, andthe importer got rid of the lot for $600. After passing through the hands of middlemen, the night shirts were ticketed in an outfiitter’s window at $125 apiece. six of them were taken by a society man, who has since gone abroad on his honeymoon, and the others were scattered among a handful of chappies, whose longings were in the right direction but whose purses, alas, would not permit them to invest in such en- terprises on the wholesale plan. Very few men pay more than $60 apiece for nightrobes, but the number who pay tuat sam is not as small as might be supposed ad is constantly increasing. You can’t get any decent kind of an embroidered silk garment tor less than $30,and if one’s taste runs to delicate hand-work tracery, one can readily spend a pot of money upon his sleeping- gowns without having so much to show for it. 1 Next to silk the most expensive fabric isa all-linen night shirt.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 22.—It is no longer in this country as it was before the civil war, that only a favored few young men go to col- legs. Within ten years, especially, the chances for higher education have 80 in- creased that almost every community, how- ever small, has each year one or more young men away at college or at the university. And as might be expected ina republic such as ours, these young men are not drawn from wealth and culture alone, but from all classes, down to the very humblest. The public schools have spread the desire for education and the interest in higher educa tion through our whole society, down to the family ot the laborer. As a result of this gradual and now almost widespread growth, America ‘has at last evolved a number of genuine universities where almost any Dranch of human Enowl- edge may be thoroughly studied. HARVARD OLDEST AND RICHEST. The life at Harvard is the most unique, the least like the life at other American universi- ties and colleges, the most like life at Oxford and Cambridge. Buteach university will be found to have its own peculiar features, to leave an individual stamp upon its students. Harvard is first among the universities of this country in age, in fame and in influence. It has been in active existence for two and one-haif centuries. It has graduated over 12,000 men. It has accumulated a prop- erty of $12,000,000, of which about §8,- 000,000 bears interest asan endowment. It expends for educational purposes $1,000,000 a year. It has 822 teachers and about 3,500 students, if the 400 who attend its summer courses be included. It occupies over sixty buildings, many of them costly and preten- tious. It uses 691 acres of land and a floor space nearly equalto that at the World’s Fair. It spends $90,000 yearly in helping poor students. And most of this marvelous growth has been within seventy-five years. It is composed of the College, the Graduate School, the Scientific School and six profes- sional schools, law, medicine, dental medi- cine, veterinary medicine, agriculture and divinity. In the Cc ilege, the Graduate School and the Selentific School, which three have two-thirds of the students of the university, there are nearly 350 separate courses of in- struction open for election. Harvard carries the elective system, the true university sys- tem, to its logical conclusion, and gives its students the wildest possible latitude in fol- lowing their natural mental bent in their study fora degree. RADICAL IN DISCIPLINE. The discipline isa radical departure from the old idea of paternalism, and a student Is free to do as he chooses so long as he obeys the very simple and liberal rules, rules that are hardly morethan ordinary legal regula- tions of all communities. Harvard students are supposed tobe young men and not boys. But at the same time the student who de- ceives himself by the absence of rig!d re- straint and devotes himself to idleness and to dissipation does not last long. The ways of getting at just what he is doing are as simple as the discipline, and the punishment js sure and the more inflexible for the very treedom the student is allowed. CARELESSNESS IK DRESS. Young men are not well dressed in the sense that a city man is said to be well dressed. Theif clothes are of excellent ma- terial usually and are cut with a good deal of attention to fashion. But all the clothes are old. They are slouched on any way, with an old cap thrown on at the head at the most convenient angle, and a pair of russet shoes on the feet. But the young men are evi dently of the sort that shave and bathe every morning after the fashion that England has been 3 for the past half century. I believe itis about half a century since their Indian subjects taught the English the charms of a daily bath. f This carelessness of dress is the first indi- cation of the lack of direct and daily femi- nine influence. . n ~ = pete ’ * Gn.

He would not staff up, wnich was what I wanted; I couldthen have shot him at the junction of the throat and brisket, a very deadly place. As it was,I went right on, put my car- are awkward things toset, too, without as- sistance. Only elghteen months ago an Englishman named Ryan, who, from practice, one would have thought safe to handle them, was miss- ing one night, and when the search party which went out found him he was lying dead over his trap held fast by both hands. This was in Northern Michigan. The traps set. baited with a chunk of deer’s meat, one atthe end of the lake and the other at some distance up the slope, we went about our every day duties around our smaller quarry, our lineof traps extending many miles, eachof us haun his deputed round, with share and share alike at the sea- son’send. That day there were four skunks, a fox, several muskrats, a couple of martens and alynx, which last Fawcett shot—not such a bad day’s work. The morning showed the traps untouched, | but the baits gone; the nextday the same. The prairie wolves, or coyotes, are the great- est nu sances, taking the baits. They cane not spring the trap, as it isSet fora much heavier auimal. On the third morning, how- ever, oureyes were giaddelred bya huye an- imalcutting capers at the end of the lake.

The snow was much crisper now, and ex- cepting the drifts, I managed to keep on without great inconvenience. From all ap- pearances 1 was rapidiy overhauling the bear, and, indeed, almost directly I sighted him onthetop ofa bluff above me. He saw me, too, and came right on to the edge, some thirty feet above where I was standing. Now was my opportunity, and, taking careful aim, Iplanted a ballright between his eyes as he looked directly down at me. Down he went witha grunt, never stirring, while the blood spurted out of the hole in a stream, which almost reached me as Istood ram- ming in another cartridge with all speed. It was not, however, needed; I felt sure by the way the blood came that the bullet had gone right through the skull into the verte- bra of the neck, which I afterward found to be correct. I have this identical bullet among my curios now, together with many others which, had they the power of speech, could eachatale unfold, I never saw a bear die so easliy, and, beyond the last convul- sions, after having literally bled to death, he hardly moved. Getting his hide off was the next job, after which it was struny aloft out of the reach of Wolves until the hand-sled could be brought up for it the next morning. We got two cinnamon bears during our stay in these regions. As the name implies, the color of this bear is sandy brown; he is not one whit less savage than his darker con- frere; perhaps a little less bulky, and that is all. and to all intents and purposes, worth as much, though the hide of neither is of 30 much value as that ofa black bear. The in- cessant demand for the skins of these latter, more especially by military outfitters, bas told its tale, their price being doubled; and besides what I said about my own last black bear’s hide, I know a trapper who got $40 for a green one last winter. But it was an ex- ceptionally fine skin, and was probably des- tined for the headgear of the Grenadier Guards, as it was shipped to London, One ein- namon we caught much in the same way as we dia the grizzly, oply that we took par- ticular care that there should be no repeti- tion of the breaking-away business. ‘ihe trap was set away back, so that we could not tell whether our bear was in without goin some distance. We decided all th woul go, and if the trap was unsprung we would take our respective routes around the smalier ones. But ne was there right enough; not only one, dut two. That is, one was close by the trapped one, and immediately we were sighted it came on us at a run, which neces- sitated instant action.

The Amick Theery That Consumption Does Not Infect. New York, Feb. 24.—The Sanitary Super- intendent was ordered yesterday to en force rigid regulations concerning consumptives, to prepare to isolate them in one hospital, to see that all doctors and institutions report to the Heaith Department such patients and to require landlords to immediately disinfect rooms having been tenanted by consump- tives. Many doctors interviewed favor thus treating consumption like small pox. but converts to the Amick theory, who are of the opinion that lung troubles are not contagious and are curable, are increasing. An Amick depository was established here last week to supply free test medicines 8 Amick’s theory to be correct. New fork physicians and those living in other states can send to Cincinnati, where the dis- coverer lives. Even the Medical Journal, edited by the President of the Board of Health, said re- cently that the success of the Cincinnati treatment proved consumption is curable, and the isolation of its victims will be vigor - ously fought.

Cireuit Attorney Zachritz Alters His Stand Somewhat in the Duestrew Case. When Circuit Attorney William Zachritz 1 sued a letter tothe public press prohibiting the employment by anyone of special coun- sel to assist in the prosecution of murderer Duestro it was so startling an innovation inthe criminal practice of St. Louis courts that many even denied him the right to thus pat away legal aid and criticised him rather severely for his bold position. Now it seems he did not mean all he made his letter appear to carry, but it furthermore appears that were he to insist upon it no other counsel would be permitted to aid in the effort to have Duestrow meet a just punishment. Mr. Zachritz told a PostT-DisPaTtcH re- porter yesterday that his reason for object- ing to special counsel in this case was that the method of its procurement was in itself an apparent refiectionon him and his office, The fact that a petition was being circulated among the working classes to raise money with which to hire special counsel was, in his mind, an intimation that the Vircult At- tourney did not intend to dghis duty toward the rich murgerer, and he du not propose to stand it. Hence the letter. But, he said, it Mrs. Duestrow’s friends wish to engage N lawyers to assist in this prosecution I shall receive their aid with pleasure and profit.’’ Mr. Zachritz insisted, however, that he had the right torefuse to allow any one not connected with his office to participate in the prosecution and Judge Edmunds bore him outin this contention. In tact, Judge Edmunds stated that until the Supreme wourt recently passed upon tue question there was considerable doubt as to the legality of special counsel Assisting in the prosecution, „They can only enter a case,“ he said, **by the courtesy of the circuit attorney. I see no cause for their employment in this instance. Mr. Bishop of the circuit attor- ney’s office has had more experience in such trials than any man n the State. Duestrow will be treated here as any man would be who is charged with murder in the first degree and I beileve will ve prose- ‘cuted as severely asany otherman charged with a similar crime.’”’ 955 Duestrow still continues to act as insane as asane man can with occasional relapses to nig rational self. He still makes his cigar- ettes and talks only When necessary. He is allowed the vilege ot walking the jail court during the day, but at night is locked’ in his cell. Baroness Althea Salvador.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., Feb. 24.—A terrible state of affairs exists in the southern portion of Starr County, about elghty miles south- west of\here. A three years’ drought has been prevailing there, and, as a consequence, stock of all kinds Rave died, and nothing but desolation and misery is to be seen. Anumber of people have died of starva- tion, and many are living on the flesh stripped from dead animals. Ranches have been deserted, and nota 1 thing except carrion crows and coyotes is to be seen on many of them. The country there is inhabited by Mexi- cans, and it was not until to-day that their condition became Known here. A supply of provisions was was at once forwarded to Alice, the nearest town, for the sufferers, but as they are some distance from the railroad it will probably be three days before the pro- visions reach them. Desolation extends over considerable ter- ritory, butas many of the sufferers have gathered at Paisano Ranch, the provisions will be sent there for distribution. To add tothe misery of man and beast, a cold, wet norther has been blowing for the pastthree days and in some sections the prairies are literally strewn with dead cattle. A Cry for Help. PaIsano, Starr Co., Tex., Feb. 23.—The ter. rible drought that has existed on the lower Rio Grande country for the past three years and particularly the last three months, has resulted in a distressing condition of this section. Nocrops have been raised and 90 per cent of all live stock perished, The re- sources of the people have been exhausted and hundreds in Starr and neighboring counties are in great destitution and abso. lute want. Many are subsisting on roots, prickly pearsor the putrid flesh from the dead animals, Feeling they are no longer able to care for their starving fellow creatures, the citizens of Paisano,in mass meeting, have passed resolutions setting forth the terrible cond!- tion of thelr section, and appealing to the charity of the outsid clothing or provisions.

Nei- son, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Georgia, who was called tothat post from the rector- ship ofa church in Bethlehem, Pa., is to-day the subject of much criticism here. In Wash- ington yesterday, speaking on the colored problem, the Bishop said there were four theories discussed, amalgamation, extermi- nation, colonization and segregation. He proceeded to combat the first three. Dis- cussing,the Bishop’s speech, the Journal this evening says: To every Southerner who has paid the least attention to the race problem itis eyi- dent that Bishop Nelson has done a great in- justice to the people among whom he lives. Where in the Southern land has such a thing as amalgamation ever been contemplated by the white people? What Southerner has ever even hinted at extermination? Coloni zation has been talked of, but mostly by the negroes themselves.“ The Bishop also did an injustie e to South- ern Caucasians when he intimated that the white people were more willing to associate with negroes than the negroes were with them. Itmay bethat the Bishop has been misquoted. To Attend Mr. Lippelman’s Funeral.

The rumor fostered by dispatches from Vienna sayingthat after the passage of the Russo-German commerical treaty the Ozar wn pay a visit to Emperor William is much discussed in political circles. The corre - spondent hears from a trustworthy source that the matter has not been broached by either of the two courts, or by either of the two governments. M. A. J. de Nolidoff, the Russian Ambassa- dor to Turkey, stopped here this week on his way to st. Petersburg, and the fact that he had chosefi the Berlin route is commented upon as showing the improved relations ex- isting between Germany and Russia since the treaty was signed. Should the imperial meeting be decided up- on later, it will probably occur upon the be- casion of the Czar’s return from bis annual Visit to Copenhagen aud whilethe Emperor fe attending the East Prussian army maneuvers. WILL NOT VISIT ABASSIA. It now appears that the statement widely published to the effect that the Emperor is going to Abassia is incorrect. The Empress is going there purely for the sake ot the health of her younger children, who are less rebust than the elder children. The rumor that the Empress herself is ailing is un- founded. i It is now estimated thatthe Russo-German treaty will be carried by a majority of 25, the bulk ofthe National Liberals having decided from voting. .

This morning at 9 o'clock the inquest be- gins on the remains of John A. Hill, the man who was shot and Killed Friday night by Fred Sauerwein, the saloonkeeper, in the latter’s place on the corner of High and O' Fallon streets.

REID NOT RECOGNIZED. Position Taken by Republican Officials in Regard to tpe Case. The situatign in the Walbridge-Reid litiga- tion is much the same as in ‘the past few days, both sides standing firmin their pos- tions, The pay-rolls from Bullding Com- missioner Reid’s officeremain unapproved by the City Comptroller and the President of the Board of Public Improvements, The City Auditor claims that according to the position of Mr. Reid as defined by Judge Valliant he is Building Commissioner de facto, if not de jure. Although Judge Val- lant defined Mr. Reid's position at City Counsellor Marshall’s request, thelatter has taken the case to the Supreme Court to be reviewed, and until the case is settled there those who are the city’s creditors on the pay-rolls and those who hold vouchers that have to go from the Building Commissioner’s office are deprived of their money. It has been said that it Mr. Sturgeon and Mr. McMath do not soon sign the pay - rolls mandamus proceedings will be instituted against them. Com ptrolier Sturgeon was seen in his office yesterday afternoon and asked what he pro- posed to doin the matter. Let me read you section 696 of the revised ordances and then I will explain my posi- tion,’’ sald he, ‘the ordinance read: There shall be a Deputy Commissioner at publie bulidings possessing all the powers and qualifica- tions of his primcipal, ————. Said Deputy shall be appointed for a term ef four years. Now, said Mr. Sturgeon, ‘*Mr. Bernhard J. O'Reilly is the present Deputy Building Commissioner and the removal by the Mayor of Mr. Reid in no way affects the position of Mr. O’Reilly. His signature to any vouchers on pay-rolls would be recognized. The City Counselor has given his opinion that Mr. Reid ceased to be Building Commissioner on Jan. 31. 15894, When he was removed by Mayor Walbridge and any acts of his from that date as Bullding Commissioner would be illegal, null and void and should not be recognized in any way by any officer of thecity.’’ Mr. McMath and myself feel that it is our duty to respect the opinion of the legal adviser of the Bat — 3 - The past week has been a busy one 1 n estate circles. Not only has there — number of large and important real estate sales consummated, but there has been a num ber of large transactions gotten und er way which a month ago it would have been almost impossible to have had considered by | capitalists. The business of the title exam- mers has increaséd to such an extent that extra men have been put to wort by them, a fact which may de accepted as an indieatioũ of a better market. Moneyed men are taking advantage of the low prices prevailing in the st. Louis real estate mar- Ket and are buying up choice pieces. Mr. F. A, Steer has secured several pieces recently and yesterday Mr. John J. Miltenberger pur- chased for Mrs. M. A. Miltenberger a piece of Olive street business property, renting at $2,000 perannum. The property secured by Mrs. Miltenberger has a frontage of twenty- five feet and is occupied by the building, . 2924 Olive street, three- structure, with first floor $25,000. George T. Burdeau was the in the transaction, Mr. J. E. Kaime, Special Commissioner in the partition sale of the Pratte property at the southeast corner of Broadway and Olive Street, will offer that property for sale at public auction at noon on Marchs at the east front door of the Court-house. The property in question is the old Insurance Ex. change property, having a frontage of l2z742 feet on Olive street and 873 feet on Broadway. It is one of the most val- uable corners ever offered for sale at public auction in St. Louis. It is thought the prop- erty will be purchased by the Burns estate, who have bought several of the interests from the Pratte heirs. Recently a number of the interests of the heirs were purchased by Mr. Festus J. Wade of the Hammett-Ander- son-Wade Real Estate Co., and it is thought that he represented Mr. Burns in the purchase. Ifhe didnot and the Burns estato has him to bid against, they will have astrong Opponent, and the heirs will get more for the property than they anticipated. Nicholis-Ritter Realty and Financial Co. have leased the upper floorsof the Bircher Bullding, 517 and 519 Chestnut street, to the Collins Bros. to be used as a European hotel, for five years at $2,000 per year. This vrop- erty belongs tothe Marlborough Realty Co., to whom the Nicholls-Ritter Realty and Fi- nancial Co. soldit about six months ago for $130,000. Thelower floors are now being negotiated for a first-class restaurant. This bullding, which has been for several years used as an office building, was formerly used for hotel purposes. It is being thoroughly renovated, being newly painted and papered throughout, the floors being thoroughly fixed up. A meeting of the owners of property inthe Mount Cabanne subdivision will be held at the Real Estate Exchange to-morrow after- noon at 3 o’clock to urge the necessity of having that section sewered at once.

All I shall say to you now is that a man should not be judged by what he does for himself, but by what he has Cone for others.’’ As soon as be reached the General Sessions Bullding Mr. Wiman took out his card-case and wrote anorder on the American News Co. for a number of copies of his book, **Ohances of Success, which he distributed among the reporters who were waiting in the District Attorney’s office. Recorder Smythe was in his chamders, and when everything was in readiness he signed the ball bond.

He has spoken here, there and everywhere about it. There has always been a business element in Canada which has looked upon Mr. Wiman asaprophet. Only four years ago La Pairie of Montreal, a leading Liberal organ, came out naming him as a leader in the Dominion, and insistingthat he should have a seat in Parliament. f he would accept it, in recogni- tion of his services towards promoting cioser commercial relations between Canada and the United States. HIS RELATIONS WITH DUN & co. The firm of R. G. Dun & Co. used to be known as Dun, Wiman &Co. The public an- nouncement that Mr. Wiman had left Dun & Co. was made about March 1, 1893. Some time after his withdrawal Mr. Dun made the sig- nificant announcement that, because of cer- tain actions of Mr. Wiman he had some time previously concluded to drop Mr. Wiman’s name from the firm, ano that was the reason the firm retarned to its old style and title oi R. G. Dun & Co.“ What these alleged actions were Mr. Dun refused to state and Mr.Wiman declared that he had left the firm only because of the press of outside business. Mr. Dun then declared solemnly that the relations between himself and Mr. Wiman were and always had been of the pleasantest character, that Mr. Wiman’s dealings with him had always been of the most honorable nature and that there had been no trouble between them in which money was involved. 1e statement was rather remarkable, in view ofthe fact that he now charges Mr. Wiman with having robbed him of $229, 060. The whole story of Mr. Wiman’s financial downfall, which now finds a sad sequel in his dis ce, did not become generally known until on April 29 last he and his wife created a trust forthe benefit of this creditors, there- by acknowledging himself to be a bankrupt. The trustee to whom he transferred his property was David Bennett King of this city. It was commented upon at the time of Mr. Wiman’s failure that R. G. Dun & Co. were very generous in refusing tu take a title to u quantity of the Wiman realty to secure his indebtedness to them. The generous spirit to which this refusal was attributed, it would now seem, was due ta the fact that R. G. Dun & Co. had knowledge of the dishonesty of Mr. Wiman which has now come to light,and were determined not to enter into any nego- tiation which might leave them with buta chance of getting back a small part of their money, and, at the same time, would have placed them in a position of having com- pounded a felony. The real estate which Mr. Wiman and his wife transferred in trust to Mr. King con- sisted of about 400 acres of land on staten Island, including 150 acres known as the Woods of Arden, 150 acres at Guyon’s Farm, 90 acres at Rose Bank and the place known as Erastina. HIS LIABILITIES AND ASSETS. In June, 1893, information was given tothe public as to Mr. Wiman’s Mabilities and as- sets. The statement showed that there were direct Mabilities of $591,000 and contingent liabilities of $315,000. The direct liabilities were made up as follows: Chemical Bank, New Tork Central National Bank, New York Wilbur, Jackson & Co., Providence, R. I. Ladenburg. Thalman & Co., New Desire Girouara & Co..

He Came to This Country in 1877 and Enlisted—Related t6 the Famous 01d ald Marshal, “Prince Vorwaerts Family Unpleasantness — His United States Army Record—A Lovely Wite. New York, Feb. 24.—Living on the third floor ofa tenement house at No. 857 East Sixty-second street, isa German who claims to be the eldest brother and heir to Count Adolph Blucher Von Finken, who was shot and killed at his Welitzow estate, in Swedish Pomerania, by a Crazy gardener, on Oct. 17 last. Not only does he assert that he isin reality Count Gebhard Fredrich Ludwie Adam Blucher Von Finken, but he has ‘papers and passports addressed by that name, and he possesses education and refinement. The three branches of the Von Blucher line are all of the family of old ‘*Prince Vorwaerts,’’ as the Great Field Marshal was called. The marriage of Count Ferdinand Frans Blucher Von Wahlstadt to Miss Alma Leeb of Brook- lyn and his subsequent death in a cheap lodg- ing house in Brooklyn are still fresh in the memory of New Yorkers, LIVING IN POVERTY. The recent tragedy at Weitzow drew atten- tion to the famous name and the discovery of the alleged heir of the victim living in pov- erty here adds but another chapter tothe generous amount of notoriety the family has recently suffered. The story of the East Sixty-second street Count’s career in America is a long one. He came here in 1877, expecting or hopingto get a commission in the army, but when he found he was unable to do 80, being por- tionless and in debt, he en- listed. Famlly unpleasantness was the cause of hiscoming. He had been mar- ried to the only daughter of Col. Eugene Von Durre, an officer inthe Prussian army, and his father and mother disapproved of the match, so much so that they never recog- nized the two children, nor did they have anything to do with the wife. They were recognized by his elder brother, Oount Adolph, on the death of his father, and they were taken to live with him at Wietzow on the death of their mother,the.Countess Clotilde. This was before he came to America. His daughter Margarethe, he says, was at one time maid of honor to the Empress Frederick, and was **loaned’’ dy her to the Princess Detmold, and was one of her household for a long time. His children by his first marriage, he says, are still living. CORROBORATIVE EVIDENCE. Whether or not he is what he claims to be, he certainly exhibits much corroborative evidence. Hehasa passport issued by the German Foreign office in 1863 to him to travel in Egypt, Turkey and the Orient. Of the genuineness of this document there is not the slightest doubt. It is indorsed bs A the German Consuls at menyof thecities he visited. He says he was the special finan- cial agent of the victorious German Govern- ment during the occupation of the French strongholds after the Franco-Prussian war by the Germans, and in proof he exhibits receipts for money forwarded to the German authorities all made out to him. IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY. In the United States Army he served in the Fifth and Second Artillery under the name of Gebhard Blucher and he has his honorable discharge from each. He is a man of educa- tion and asserts he is a Heidelberg graduate, his advancement tothe rank of non-commissioned officer happening as prompt as he was discharged from the service as an invalid while the Second Artillery was at Pensacola, Fla., where he was occupying the position of Post School- master. His discharge is signed by Maj. Throckmorton, who is connected with the Street Cleaning Department here. He also has a letter from Col. Langdon, testifying to his efficiency as a soldier and asa peda- gogue. He has enjoyed a pension of$l0a menth since his discharge. Ihe injury he received in the service incapacitated him from heavy work and he drifted to Washington, where he became anurse in the Homeopathic Hospital. He has a letter from the House surgeon testify- ing to his honesty. In 1889 he was out of work, and having made the acquaintance of Mrs. John A. Logan, he applied to her for assistance to obtain work. He has a letter from her dated Aug. 16, 1889, expressing her willingness to do anything possible, and say- ing she had applied forhimto the Pullman Car Co. without success. A TRAINED NURSE. He came here in 1890 and got work asa trained nurse. He was for a time in the Presbyterian Hospital and has a letter from Dr. Herkins, dated February, 1891, testifying to his efficiency and honesty. Besides his hospital engagements he had many private cases, until five months ago, since which. he has been unable to get employment, he was able with the help of the $10 a month to get along comfortably. HIS SWEET SCANDINAVIAN WIFE. On Oct. 1, 1592, he married Miss Ella Hart - man, a Norwegian girl of excellent family and educatian, whom he met in New York. If the claim of the schoolmaster is a legiti- mate one, this sweet-faced Scandinavian woman who now shares his poverty is the prospective chatelaine of Weitzow, and the pretty 4-months-old girl baby, since born and named Ingeborg Marie Augusta, is also a countess. VAST ESTATES. One peculiar point about his story is that the heir of the Weitzow estates, which are said to be worth $400,000 In addition to the real property, should have any aifficulty in borrowing the money to go to Europe to prosecute his claim. In explanation he says he has not made himself known to the resent German Minister, though the late unt Valley knew him well and knew who he was. He has a letter from a former Secretary of Legation in Washington which was sent to him in the course of his corres- pondence with the legation to establish his American citizenship. He has never, he 1 1 = taken pains to make from whom he c whey an borrow money, lam not now desirous of borrowing any money or 8 any charity. ANI want 3 —— ch | can earn enough to go good my cla! ta vors ot any one. aie rn, He explains that his three brothers, who are inthe Prussian not pamtcolarty Keen about sending for him or aiding him to return and claim the prop- erty, and that he need expect no assistance from that source. The Count, who was shot, died childless.

The neophyte who wishes to join the Thir- teen Club professes his intention to do all in his power to discourage superstitious practices and belief in superstitious omens.“ This is the kind of man who will walk under a ladder and that without the proper ges- tures, namely, by closing his three middle fingers and pushing out his little fingers and thumbs, says the London Daily News. That practice is, at least, harmless and inexpensive, while it illustrates human continuity. The dread of walking under a ladder is derived from A savage superstition, familiar to Pawnees, Maoris, the ancient Greeks and mankind in general. Very few people know why itis dangerous to go under a ladder, and we do not propose to enlighten the ignorant. There is, infact, no longer much real peril, for reasons which, if they could be stated, would be generally admitted as valid. Still, it is as well to maintain our continuity with our re- motest ancestors when it costs nothing and does no harm. In the same way, we ought certainly to bow or «kiss our hands to the new moon, because all our fathers did, though a writer in the Old Testament objects to the usage. But times are altered and we do not mean any harm. The Puritans deprived us of the maypole, and did their best to put down mistletoe, mince piles and hot-cross buns. They failed here, as the Thirteen Club will fail, yet the use of mistle- toe is a superstition as old as the Druids. Buns are connected, by Bryant, with the worship of Hera, which was certainly super- stitious, and soul¢éakes are associated with **sin-eating,’® which nobody can call a reasonable custom. People like the Thirteen Club have weaned us from the old rite of burying portable property with the dead. The custom, perhaps, did the dead no good. but it was of immense service to archwology and history. Very little would be known about Neolithic man, about Egyptians and Assyrians, if they had not been supefstitious, For want of grave hoards, very little will be known about us in some three thousand years or less. ‘he merit of superstition is that it adds / picturesque variety to life. Itis better to keep a sharp lookout for two magples than to be wholly indifferent to ornithology.. If you think that a stolen potato is good for rheumatism, there is acertain exeitement and peril in purloining the root. We have known wishes at wishing wells’’ work out in a satifactory manner, and even if they do not there is the pleasure of expectation. Of course these ideas must not be pushed too far; let moderation in everything be our motto. To swim awitch, that old popular entertainment, isa practice against which humanity revolts; while to consult a fortune- teller is to patronize a chariatan. Super- stitious usages are only respectable as lon as we do not believe in them. They shoul be revered as survivais, not looked up to as safeguards. If superstitions were good enough for fam- ous people, they should pot be too bad for people who will never be famous. Oliver Cromwell, Dr. Johnson, Napoleon, Pascal, Socrates were not weak-mindea, but they all had their little superstitions, and, no doubt, wereall the happler for them. Cromwell had his lucky day, and it is said that before the Worcester fight he went into a wood-with a friend and had an interview with the devil. The friend ran away and carried the story with him, but a skeptic may hint that he ran a way before the battle for other reasons and told the story afterwards. Napoleon be- lieved in his ‘‘star,’’ if not in the Little Red Man who was his military adviser, Socrates had his demon. bascal had his mysterious amulet. Dr. Johnson really carried the thing too far and made himselfa bore with his pri- vate ceremonies. However, a great deal can de forgiven to Dr. Johnson. Tbe Romans were not a nation to trifle with, but they brought superstition into every public and private act, always disre- garding it when it was inconvenient. They thus provided alarge body of unintelligible usages which diverted the leisure of Plutarch and have beena happy hunting ground for antiquaries ever since. It is thus that super- stition, properly handled, entertains and en- livens. Doubtless Lord Castlereagh never did see a Luminous Boy in his bed-room, but his belief in that appearance gave him some- thing to talk about. Probabiy the appari- tion of Cesar to Brutus nerer occurred, but it was invaluable to Shakspeare. The Great King Darius never really ‘*‘walked’’ at Susa or Ecbatana, but the belief that he did ‘*walk’’ was useful to Eschylus. Even Voltaire laments the de- parture of the Fairies, and—though Voltaire walks himself, by the way—he was nota weak-minded idiot. Wesley was no ordinary —— yetit would de hard to say what esley was not ready to believe. Ben Jonson was robust in all respects, yet Ben believed in a wraith which he talked about to Drum- mond of Hawtbornden. A White Lady’’ 18 ‘‘a great offset’’ toa German palace, just as a Nixy is to German river. We owe a fine ei- ement in poetry to our benighted forefathers, as any one will discover if he tries to elimin- ate superstition from Shakspeare, Local Trap Shooters. The local trap shooters are looking for- ward with great anticipation towards the trap shooting tournaments that will be held in St. Louis the coming season. J. L. Wins- ton, the local expert shot, on behalf of the Trap Shooters Association has made arrangements for the use of Compton Avenue Park on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons throughoul the entire season. The associa- tion will ) in a dozen electric traps and pulls, and, beside the trophy, emblematic of the lilinois and Missouri Championship, val- uable prizes will be hung up for the opening shoot, March 24, Very little has been done in the way of trap shooting in St. Louis and this is the first step in the right direction to etthings started.

A WOMAN WINS THE TITLE OF THE “FEMALE NAPOLEON OF FINANCE.” — She Is $24.95 Ahead of the Game Up to Date and still Has Her Furniture— How She Operated-Money Lenders Clubbing Together to Prosecute Ber. There is weeping and of teeth among several well-known lenders in st. Louls. It is not often that these gentle men get worsted, but in the present in- stance, according to the story told by Attor- ney Louis H. McGinnis of 506 Olive street to terday, several of them have been badly left, and by a woman, too. The usual result is, when a person ina financial strait falls into the hands of a money lender by mort- gaging his or her household goods, that the lender gets his money back with enormously large interest and frequently gets the furniture. In this case the lenders have neither gotten the principaln or interest. and the woman has the household goods and 14 going to keep them, andthe lenders can’t take them from her by process of law or otherwise. She not only has the money of one lender, bat of several, according to the story. She has, it is alleged, mortgaged her household goods, valued at $75 to $100, to eight different lenders for amounts aggregating $290. She has paid out of this on account $265.05, leaving her $24.95 ahead, and still has her furniture safe from writ or attachment. Mrs. Annie McGowan of 1129 Oass avenue is the Female Napoleon of Finance.“ Her money - borrowing transactions cover a period of seven years. During that time she is alleged, as stated, to have placed eight different mortgages on her furniture, paid enough to each of the lenders to keep their mouths shut and come out $24.95 ahead, and all without the knowledge of her husband. She has an interesting family of several children and her husband is sald to be a sign painter, earning a good salary. The account of his wife’s alleged deals“ verify he adage that truth is often stranger than fiction. Mrs. McGowan’s experience in her first loan was of the usual kind. Before she was through with the deal she was $121. 25 out and owed She, according to the story, retrieved her loss and got all of her money back and a little besides. HOW SHE BEGAN. Seven years ago Mrs. McGowan, so the story goes, being in need of a little money, whieh she did not want to ask her husband for, borrowed $25 from a money lender named Krohn, giving her note for $35, secured by a chattel mortgage on their furniture. She paid 52 a month on the loan for seven months, making $14 which she paid on the loan. At the end of the seven months the debt was transferred by Krohn to R. W. Staley and a new note made out for $50. She paid Staley $20, during a period of several months, when Staley transferred to J. W. Staley and the note was raised to $67. She paid $24 to J. W. Staley dur-, ing another period, When the note was trans- ferred to J. W. Peters and raised to 580. She paid $16 to Peters, when John O. King became owner ofthe note, which was raised this time to $112. In making renewals new notes exorbitant charges are made by money lenders, which perhaps ex- plains the increase of the note from $35 to $112. Mrs. McGowan paid King $32.75, when the note again changed hands, this time Julius Groschke becoming owner. The note was reduced in this instance to 573. How this was done Mr. McGinnis could not ex- plain, unless..Mrs. McGowan, who is his client, had made a payment which sho had not given him an account of, or else that she had induced the holder of the note to make a reduction, which is not Hkely. She bald Groschke $39.50, Making a total pala, not accounting tor the reduction of the note, of $146.25 on the original loan of $25. She still owes Groschke. according to his books, 358. The second person to whom Mrs. McGowan mortgaged her furniture is George Miller, of whom sie got $35 and gave her note for $60, She pald $24, had the note renewed and in- creased to $36, then paid $12 and owes $247 In this transaction she gave the name of Mrs. Mary J. Ryan. F She next, under the name of Mrs. Mary J. Moorach, borrowed $40 from J. C. Graham of 808 Olive street, giving ber note for $60, She paid $18 on this loan and still owes $60. Next she borrowed $45 from Charles Albertz under the name of urs. Mary J. Moore. She gave her note for $60. She paid $23 and owes $60. Next, under the name of Mrs. M. Connors, she borrowed $50 from F. M. Kittrell & Co. of 1007 Chestnut street giving her note for $61. She paid $14.50 and owes $61. Under tho nom de plume of Annie Connors she got 328 from C. J. Voorhis of 111 North Eighth street, giving a note for $35 on which she paid $20 and owes $15. Fromtbe Mutual Loan Co., near Eighth and Olive streets, which is managed by a man named Weaver, she got $40 under the name of Mrs. Mary J. cGrath. She gave her note for 350, paid $2.50 and owes $50. i O. O. Voelker of 515 Pine ssreet was the last person she borrowed from, getting $30 a short time ago. She gave a note for $57.60, paid $4.40 and owes 82. 80. It will be seen from the above that she bor- rowed in all $290, pa out $265.05 and owes, according to the moOney-lenders’ accounts, $380. 80 and drawing The manner in which she accomplished it, Mr. McGinnis stated, was when she would effect a new loan she uld go around and pay a little to each of the other creditors, Of the last few loans, the attorney stated, she paid out nothing to the ola creditors, who thus began to hunt her up. STILL HOLD THE FURNITURE. Becoming alarmed, she went to Attorney McGinnis and consulted him as to what she should do. Her husband finally learning of his wife’s transactions called on the attor- ney and wanted to give up the furniture. This the attorney would not allow him to do. The goods under the law is the property of of the husband, and the wife no right to mortgage it without the husband's consent. The mortgages without his consent are worthless. The attorney told McGowan that if he gave the furniture AP to one lend - or that the rest would ba still unappeased, and that he might as well keep the ty ay The object of the attorney’s visit to the Prosecuting Attorney’s office wasto see if a warrant had been applied for against Mrs. McGowan. Mr. McGinnis said that the money lenders, he was informed, had clubbed to. gether and were going to raise a fund to rosecute Mrs. McGowan criminally. Mr. Weaver, he sald, offered to contribute $25 for the purpose. Mr. McGinnis will defena Mrs, McGowan if a criminal prosecution is begun against her, So far no warrant bas been ap- plied for against her. The reason that the above case could happen is owing to the fact that few small chattel mortgages are recorded. Owing tothe fact that usually persons who resort to borrowing on furniture belong to a class unskilled in the wiles of finance, the lenders become Careless in poste Ad cases and take it for granted that everything is all right.

On the north was a beautiful in which was a large brick mansion, and back of which fowed a fine stream, the banks and bottom of which were covered with a heavy forest. Looking south, several miles of beautiful undulating farm lands met tho eye, and the meadowsand wheat fields, Just then giving out their brightest emerald hues, presented a landscape of charming beauty. This home was one of the most noted in that part of the State where the hospital. ity of the old regime’’ was proverbial. The boys were fine specimens of backwoods de- velopment, culture and manliness. The elder, but the smaller of the two, had lately entered his 18th year, while the younger, larger and more athletic had since November entered his 16 year. The father evinced great pride in the education and development of his sons, in securing from the East the most ac- complished teachers and supervising their education at home. Outside of the school- room their lives, in later years, had been spent on horseback with rifie in hand, ehas - ing the red deer and other out door sports, for the country at that period was com- paratively a wilderness and abounded in great varieties of game. As a consequence oftheir dally living, the boys were better educated than their neighbors, better de- veloped in muscle and more self-reliant in action. THEIR SUMMFR WORK. * Their father had said before he left home to discharge the official duties of his station: Now, boys, you had better work on the “farm this summer, and then we will go to college inthe fall. Ithinka summer’s work on the farm will greatly improve your physical strength and the better enable you to undergo the confinement at college. The boys were unable to comprehend the logic of this statement, for they felt they needed no further training physically, forany undertaking. This bright spring morning they were quietly executing the orders of the father in his absense, The elder boy had stopped his team at the end of the furrow and was sitting on the top rail of the high staked and ridered fence which en- closed the field. Reaching the end of his furrow the younger brother stopped his team and was soon bythe side of the elder one on the fence. The elder brother was ev- idently engaged in thinking over the situa- tion, and it was plain from the look upon his face that his thoughts were not pleasant. Turping sharply around and facing his Drother, calling him by name, he said: ‘‘I don’t intend to work on this old farm this summer. Ihe intensity of his 5 A clearly showed the bitterness of his thoughts. The prospect of a summer’s work on the farm as a field hand, among the - Negroes, who blacked his boots, caught and saddled his horse, built his fres and obeyed his lightest commands, had aroused his feel- ings to such a point that he even forgot the teachings of his mother by using a profane expletive. His brother was so greatly as- tounded that he could only reply: Lou am't, well what are going to do?’’ The Mexican war was at that time in progress and additional calis had been issued for re- cruitse to All up the ranks, which had been decimated by death upon the battie-feld and in the hospital, and a recent one had Deen issued by Col. Edwin V. Sumner, then in command at Fort Leavenworth, forty miles distant. OFF FOR WAR. It was this thought that had filled the elder Drother’s mind with rebellious thoughts, and he replied: ‘‘I intend to take my team to the barn, saddle my riding horse, go to Fort Leavenworth, join the army and go to Mexico. The younger brother was evi- dently amazed at the proposed action, and forawhile Qumbfounded at the 1 in- volved init. Getting his breath, after fully comprehending it, be replied :**Youare—well, 1’ll go with you.“ Acting instantly upon their compact, they were soon dressed and in the saddle and bidding their mother good- by, who vay protested against their ac- tion, were off like the winds for the fort. In those days forty miles under the saddle was a short journey for young men, mounted as ‘they were, upon splendid animals, and be- fore sunset their names were enrolled as soldiers, and they were accepted by Col. Sumner and sworn intothe service of their country. Returning homethe father found his boys gone and believing it was but a sudden freak of boyish impulse and that the romance of the situation had worn off by the actual duties of a soldier’s life, saddled his horse and rode to the fert, called upon Col. Sumner at his headquarters. After explaining his mission, ending with the statement that neither of the runaways were of legal military age, he asked for an order to take them home, which of course Was granted. Armed with this order, he cameto the camp, situated about a mile south of the fort, and presented it to Lieut. W. B. Royal, whowas in command of the recruits. The Lieutenant, now the Colonel of the 4th Cavalry in the regular army ordered the boys called, and told them that their father had come after them and had an order from the Colonel to take them home. The consternation of the boys can well be imagined. They had become used to camp life, and instead ofthe romance of a soldier life being worn off, the pictures Graw by their comrades of life upon the ains, hunting buffalo and fighting Indians, had given additional impulse to their youth- fui blood and greatly increased their desire to go. THE FATHER’S LONELY RIDE HOME. Now, all these bright visions were biasted, and in their place rose up the summer work ‘on the old farm’’ with the negroes.

Stephen Kearney went from thereto Cali- fornia, Col. Price was appointed Brigadier - General by Mr. Polk and was in commana of. the department. Learning of the presence of the two brothers in Santa Fe and the facts as detailed by the Lietenant, with the at- tempt of the father to prevent their coming, and being well acquainted with the family in Missouri, he dispatched his Orderly Sergeant to the camp with orders to bring them to his headquarters. Suchan unusual eventcreated quite a sensation when it was known in camp that the two brothers had been honored in such manner. Reaching his presence in great trepidation, the brothers were soon put at ease, for they found the General dignified and elegant in manner and appearance as well as courteous and kind in speech. He told the brothers his reasons for sending for them, that he hed learned of their escapade and, knowing their parents, desired to see them. Aftercomplimenting them upon the Drilliant fight in which they had been en- gaged and congratulating the Corporal upon the stripes on his arm, he dismissed them with the remark: ‘‘ Young gentlemen, if you = into any trouble during your absence from ome, remember that you have a friend in the head of the army.“ The war came to an end, and returning with the army which was discharged amid the triumphant songs of the citizens who reretved them. Our Corporal, although under 17 years of age, now wore upon his arm the stripes of a Ser- geant. The brothers returned home greatly improved in appearance and largely exalted in conceit by their year’s association with men, felt that they were then Detter equipped for college than had they worked on the old farm. College days over, they studied law, but the elder brother died, while the younger married, and, settling at the county seat, built hima residence in the suburbs on a street which led tothe old farm’’ and by which the father had to pass on his way to town. ENTERING SERVICE AGAIX. The war of 1861 came on and the father, al- though a Southerner by birth, education and association, as well as a large slave-holder, wasa strong Union man. His father had been anensign under John Paul Jones and had been wounded on the Bon Homme Rich- ardinits fight with the Serapis off Flam- beaugh Heads in 1778, and the inheritance he had bequeathed to the son overcame his sec- tional prejudices. He was chosen dy the people asa delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1861, called under the belief that the people of Missouri were ready for secession, In conpection with other Southern men who were chosen they refused to follow the lead of 014d Virginia—for they preferred the old flag inherited from their fathers, which had been consecrated by their blood, to the new one floated to the breeze at Montgomery—and Missouri’s star kept its place on the starry banner. A still younger brother, who had just graduated from the Virginia University, entered the Union service at the head of a company of cavairy, who after distinguish- ing himself in the early batties of the war, came home to die. The Corporal changed his stripes for the eagles of a Colonel. RELEASING GEN. PRICE. One morning early in the year 1862 the father came to the residence of the son say- ing he wanted his breakfast. Inquiry dis- closed the fact that he intended taking the morning stage for the railway station and thence to St. Louis. Further inquiry brought the further statement, I am going to St. Louis to pay Sterling Price for the manner he treated you and your brother while you were in Mexico.“ Sterling Price had espoused the Southern cause and was a Major-General. His son, Edwin 8. Price, had followed the fortunes of his father and wasa Brigadier- General. Further conversation elicited the following: ‘‘I see,’’ said the father, *‘ from the St. Louis papers of yesterday that Gen. Ed- win S. Price is a prisoner of war and has been placed in the Alton penitentiary, ana I am going to St. Louis toinduce Gen. Halleck to release him on his parole. At that time, and fora long time afterward, no cartel of exchange has been arranged between the leaders ofthe contending armies, and pris- oners were confined and guarded in camps and penitentiaries. The father was successful in his mission and Gen. Edwin Price was paroled — and in complance with its terms escaped the rigors of confinement and spent the balance of the war on his farm in Ohariton County, and was thus relieved from the dangers of four years ian the Southern Army—and the father returned home proud and happy in the consciousness that he had repaid in kind the debt he owed Sterling Price for his kindness to his two sons. In 1876, the younger brother was stopping at the Yosemite Hotel in Stockton, Cal. While there he met Col. Caleb Dorsey, for- merly of Pike Co., Mo., then a member of the Legislature from Calaveras County. Dur- ing the conversation, Col,. Dorsey abruptly changed the conversation and with a slight asperity in tone said: ‘*I was taken prisoner with Gen. Edwin S. Price and with him confined in the Alton Penitentiary in 1862, your father came there and with an order from Gen, Halleck took Price out of the Penitentiary and left me.in there. This fact stung me to the quick, for I was unable to see why he should have taken Price out and left me. Can you tell me the reason?’’ Then was related tne facts as herein stated, which being thoroughly. satisfactorily, re- moved the thorn which had so long rankled in his breast, and enabled him to show that ‘consideration which natarally sprung from his heart. It was an unusual act fora General to d as Sterling Price did in Santa Fe. him nothing and greatly @xalted the : ers in their own estimation. It was but the manifestation on hig part of the natural kindness of his heart, without thought of re- ward aside from the consciousness of having done a kind and pleasant ‘Fifteen years afterwards interest, and ts re as pleasant to the Was to the son who received its benefit.

Gould Not Be Impartial—Downfall of the Brigco. ‘Argument in chambers before United States Circuit Judge Caldwell on the applica- tion of the United States Trust Co. for various forms of relief in connection with the receivership of the Frisco railroad was concluded yesterday morning and Judge Caldwell took the case under advisement, without intimating when a decision might be expected. Gen. John W. Noble made the only argument ofthe day, closing the case for the petitioner, the United’ States Trust Co. His speech consumed the greater portion of two hours, aithough the court used perhaps a quarter of an hour ofthe time. In the course of Judge Caldwell’s remarks he read from his order to the master in chancery showing how close must de his scrutiny of the acts and reports of the re. ceivers, and Judge Caldwell declared in no uncertain terms that he would protect all in- terests represented before him during the pending of the receivership. He also gave the attorneys for the United States Trust Co. to understand that he would not remove either of the re- ceivers, Reinhart, McCook or Wilson, as the trust company had prayed; but he intimated that they might be allowed to interplead in the receivership petition. Asto whether he would order the receivers to pay to the United States Trust Co. the $541,009 interest on the general mortgage bonds the court was non-committal, though his remarks created the impression that he might do so if the surplus earnings of the road justified it. GEN. NOBLE’S ARGUMENT. In arguing for a representation for the United States Trust.Co. on the Boardof Re- celvers, Mr. Noble held that the present re- ceivers could not act disinterestedly in the management of the Frisco as against the Santa Fe because they, he said, as directors ofthe Santa Fe, were agents of the stock- holders of that road and subject to removal whenever those stockholders sawnt. The Santa Fe’s interests are not one with those of the Frisco; it has better, more extensive connections and more profitable traffic, and the time of the decline of the traffic of the prosperity of the Frisco was almost identi- cal to the very hour—with the passage of control of the stock of the Frisco to the con- trol of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. How, then, could the administration of the Frisco receivership Dy agents of the Santa Fe be conducted impartially to the Frisco in- terests and with justice to its creditors? The United States Trust Co., representin a $20,000,000 mortgage,solemnly prociaime Its right to have a voice in the admunistra- tion of this receivership, in fixing the amounts of fees to be paid; in the cost of op- eration and in the disposition of the earn- ings. It wanted a representative in that Board of Receivers to protect its rights. THE COURT INTERRUPTS. Judge Caldwell interrupted Gen. Noble while the latter was animadverting on the dangers to which the plaintiffs in this case were subjected, to read his former order, re- quiring the receivers to file monthly. reports with the Master in Chancery, to empower the latter to go over those reports in detail with the assistance of expert accountants; port; and that the Master shall have access laces to all the ac- vouchers and records of the re- celvers.

The route of the Jungfrau Railway will be as follows; From its starting point the line ascends to the foot of the Eiger Glacier, which is to be tunneled, the trains entering on the east side and coming out inthe south at Station Kiger, which is 9,500 feet above the level of the sea. The tunnel is to de open on From Station Eiger the line moves, again bytunnel, in the direction of the Monk“ Mountain until it reaches Jungfrau-Joch, and, leaving the tunnel there, the ratlroad ascends to the so-called small plateau, winding itself around the mountain in spiral form like the thread on a screw. The small plateau is 12,590 feet above the level of the sea, and in midsummer clear of snow. There a gigantic elevator will be con- structed, powerful enough to hoist fifty people to the mountain summit on eacnh trip.

LAST NEW THING IN SCIENCE. . The Wonderful Cloud Projector Made Potsib e by Frof. Dolbear. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Old-time novelists who laid their plots among the aborigines of America before the Revolution or inthe wilds. of Africa always arranged to have the heroreach the point of supreme peril at the same time that an eclipse ofthe sun or moon occurred. The white man would prophesy the eclipse and the natives always accepted it as a sign of the wrath of the Great Spirit and fell down and worshiped the hero instead of eating him for supper. H. Rider Haggard made a slight diversion from this custom of the old- time novelists, and In one of his famous books he has the natives worship the beau- says the Red Cross was asked in September to take cnarge of thereliefof the Sea Islands. The territory extended from Savannah to Charleston, and from the sea to the mainland of south Carolina. It was estimated that 80,000 people were to be fed, clothed, housed, nursedand generally cared for, for eight months or until the early crops of this year were harvested and markéted. The charge was immense and the volunteer band shrank from it, for not alone the welfare, but the lives of these thousands of human Deines were in their hands. When, after due deliberation, the Red Cross accepted the responsibility no mention was made or intimation given orf labors beyond the Sea Islands. Great was the consternation of the reilef corps when, within a few weeks, petitions, ap- peals, delegations, and committees from the mainland of South Carolina, poured in upon them and pleaded to be saved trom starva- tion, another 30,000 mortals who had not been bargained for in the original survey of the work, Our houses are wrecked. they said, ‘four stock and crops are lost; give us food and clothes, or we perish.’’ The State Legisiature did not convene until November, and adjourned at Christmas without doing anything forrelief except extend the pay- ment of taxes One year.

The hero of the coming novelist will not be such a barefaced or barelegged imposter, however. He will take with him to Africa a patented cloud projector, and when trouble threatens he will throw signs and pictures onthe clouds and the natives will never touch him. The weird and uncanny effect which is produced. by the wonderful cloud projector is enough to make even a civilized Tammany Indian quake. While the credit tor this invention belungs primarily to Louis H. Rogers, the arrange- mentof lenses, which madeit possible to throw beams oflight upon theclouds was suggested and adjusted by Prof. A. E.

Prof. Dolbear is known to the sclentific world, but the busy, workaday world does not number him among its popular celebri- ties of bubble reputation. His investigations and discoveries have been entirely in the un- explored feldsofscience. Several of his in- ventions have touched the popular chord notably the telephone. While the name of Alexander Graham Bell will go downin his- tory as the patentee, the scientific world will never ignore Prof. Dolbear’s claim to be the original inventor. Prof. Dolbear contested Prof. Bell’s right to a patent and his claim was backed by the Western Union Telegraph Co. In the mutual agreement reached by the Western Union and the Bell Telephone Co. it was practically conceded that Prof. Dolbear was the inventor of the magneto telephone, commonly known as the Bell telephone. This agreement was signed in 1879 without appeal tb the courts. Alterwards, when Prof. Dolbear invented the stactic system, which was an entire de- parture from the system employed by the Bell cempany, both in principle and appara- tus, he was prevented putting it in practical use by the courts. It was ruled that what Bell had patented was not an apparatus for transmitting speech, but the employment of electricity for the transmission of speech. There was no claim that Prof. Dolbear’s stactic receiver infringed the Bell patent of 1877. So philosophically did Prof. Dolbeor take this adverse decision that whenever the subject was referred to afterwards by friends he would say: Ine decree of the Supreme Court was given on Monday. the Capitol was struck by lightning on Wednesday and the Chief Jus- tice died on Thursday of the same week.’’ Prof. Dolbear’s indomitable energy and rseverance are well illustrated by his ef- orts to advance himself in earl lite.

Special Correspondence SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH,. New YorK, Feb. 22.—Persons who make matrimony a business—and there are such have suffered less from the depressing infiu- ences of the hard times than almost any other class of merchants. The schateheen and his American prototype, the marriage brokers, report that business is brisk, ana that the marriage bells are ringing just as often and as merrily as though no such thing as a financial depression was or had been in existence. The New York Mercury, which is the club name ofa matrimonial agency, issues the Matrimonial News, @ large four-page journal, every few weeks. The publisher announces: No fixed date is set for the publication of this paper; we invariably issue a new num ber after one-fifth of the persons whose ‘ads’ appear in ,the paper have been married or engaged. The News came out with a rous- ing big ti Year’s number, which somehow or other has been overlooked in the usual reviews of the holiday publications. The — 4 is filled with notices of intention, or at east willingness, to commit matrimony, Every a paragraph announces the beating of a fluttering heart. There are some descriptions of ladies, both maiden and widowed, which, though terse, ought to fix themselves and their owners as firmly in certain masculine hearts as though sped on the point of Cupid’s well-aimed ar- rows. Read this one, for instance: A Deautiful girl of 19. sweet disposi good character, industrious and economical will give her hand in marriage to honorable man.’ Any man might be rest and happy for a lifetime to marry suc girl. In case the lonely bachelor be of a practical turn of mind and seeking a combination of youth and beauty with more material possessions, let him study - awhile this offer, which is numbered 2,50 2 lady, 24, cnly daughter will inherit her father’s business (bakery), and has considerable money to expect, would marry good business man. There is a rare fleld to choose from if the intending bridegroom has noobjection to a widow. Ifhe is a widower he can do no bot · ter than think over the following offer: W Idow lady, 31, thoroughly experienced in all branches of housekeeping, $1,000, will - marry man with steady income, 0 objec- tion toa widower with one or two children as I am fond of children and would bea good i A CHANCE TO ° te STABLES. | Full particuiars by R — D 467, this office. 9 * — — ACI, 1420 N.

The reaction and the general strength that has marked wheat of late has certainly attracted more than usual atten- 0 tion from the outside public, but so far has ey mot drawn into the vortex of speculation what is known as the“ cutsider, except to a rather limited extent. Nor has it eooled the ardor of the pessimistic bears particular- ly, who are as numerous and seemingly as conficent of seeing 50c wheat—for cash sure- ly, probably for May and possibly for July—as they were a “week ago. **Doubting * ~¥homases’’ were just as plentiful around 58c asthey wereduring the landslide down to Sage. The question is, would it not be better forthe presentand future if the market, to have low prices rule that would keep the act mous supply valcash demand actively at work, and thus dis ofa greater portion of the enor- in sight, rather than to have speculation shout prices up toa point that would stand off this cash demand and throw the market back into the waterlogged condl- tion that had sunk it solow? The check—in- deed it was almost a complete 9 the cash demand for both wheat and fiour that the late advance of not quite 4c has brought about would appear to answer in the affirmative. It is probable that the present advance, if maintained, would eventually result in thecash buyer coming in again at the higher levelof values, and sO the market might gradually be worked higher and higher. But the very de- cided subsidence of foreign orders for wheat and flour since the price got up a cent or so indicates very plainly that the European buyer is not willing to follow, just yet at any rate, an advance on this side, and the same, too, is the case withthe domestic buyer. Distasteful though it may be to be obliged to a standard product at unpro- uctive prices, still how much more solid would the position of that product and huw much more certain the prospect of re- munerative prices for the next crop, were nt burdensome old stocks reduced to a int where they would be no longer a weight upon and a menace to the market, as well as a costly charge upon speculation? = a * The highest prices reached on the late ad- Vance were 58iec for May and 59\ec for July on Friday and yesterday’s close saw sellers at Siac and 68%c respectively. These figures were lic for May and %c for July above the receding Saturday. Ihe new crop option— uly—wi4s relatively weaker, as quite a num- r of the leading bear traders are trans- ferring their selling operations to that month, deeming it a safer sale than May. ag Te next decrease in the visible promises Esti- be the greatest of the season so far. mates are for over 1,000,000 bu and probably it mar reach 1,500,000 bu, the latter just doub- „ . 8 8 * * 3 ee Kee Sed ie . 2 . 2 — r 19 5 3 8 y 2 1 8 7 „ oe dr =the present r.

The Northwestern markets’ receipts have been so smali that their increased milling output has drawn largely upon stocks in store and are expected to decrease 350, 000 bu, un- less private warehouse stocks have been used. It is about time Buffalo’s stock shoula begin to run down considerably and the sea- Doard—New York especiaily—should show quite a hole in their supplies. Then there are the smaller interior markets, whose stocks Are going out of sight, taken by local, but more largely by outside mills, which cannot obtain supplies in their oon immediate ter- ritory. So really the prospects are good for being taken out of the visible. lt will take quite a number of such slices, however, to bring the present amount down to where it will.cease to be a bear factor. * a * Besides the public stocks decrease, there bas also been the reduction in private stocks held in the accumulative centers, and this is In the home market it has been certainly large, for while three vate warehouses have sold extensively to l and outside mills, they have not been able to replenish their depleted stocks, so On Feb 1 rivate stocks were 1,067,000 bu, and lis notexpected to show more than thus held. On May 1 of last year The stock in Bic elevators is now 4,600,000 bu and, it all wheat that has been lately sold for ex- port and milling was withdrawn, it would bly not be much over 4,000,000 bu.

If this is the ase, from whence will come the wheat to replenish the stocks at the markets, if they dare largely reduced before the next crop ? The March report of the Department Agriculture will show unusually mall re- in this ay y methods of estimates employ statistician’s predecessor. on Dodge’s method, the result about as follows: Reserves on Hig March 1, 1893, 185,000,000 bu; visibie supply on 4 — ate hardly sbi * mk ~ enlarged me's a date, 79,000,000 bu; crop of 1898, 896,000, - total, 610,000,000 bu.

Besides the orthwest are holding large stocks in storé and loaded in cars on side tracks and they are now evidencing a marked desire to dispose of them. The de- lief that rail rates from Missouri River points are to be restored to their former ba- sis on March 1, the present ‘‘cut’’ to be done away with, intensifies this desire of these country holders to get rid ot their corn. So tar they have not n able to dispose of their holdings to any extent, though they have marked their asking figures down con- siderably, but their reduced offers to sell have not resulted in any large sales to the market. The bullish feeling that has been so prominent in speculation has grown much feebler, buyers are scarce and wary and trading consequently of the lightest. No ma- terial decline has so far taken place in the May option, for which sie was bid at close of yesterday. The demand for cash corn has been of the merest retail character the greater part of the week. The receipts of 681,000 bu were smaller by 60,000 bu than the week before, but A larger proportion was local, less going through than at any time since the new crop began moving to market. This increased offerings somewhat, and what added tothe amount on sale was the selling of acon- siderable portion of the stock held in Farmers’ Elevator. To meet this increased supply wasa very light local and shipping demand and some buying of moderate ex- tent dy an exporter. The stock in store of 1,081,000 bu, which increased 142,000 bu this week, shows how much the supply exceeded thedemand. Ofthe total stock 915,000 bu is No 2, which is sold against for May. The price has worked lower. Yesterday No 2 sold at 824e@s2%c, and NOS had 82@32\ee bid. The latest sales of No2 white were at 38%&c, and asc was bid yesterday for Nos white. — 5 a Inthe language of the commission man, who deals extensively in them, oats are but a feed store“ market. Not many are com- ing from the country and not many are wanted at the markets. Locally, about 148,- 000 bu arrived this past week and that was about enough to satisfy the requirements of the trade. Stocks here continue very small, and are now less than 27,000 bu, of which all but 10,000 bu is No2. The country still seems indisposed to sell freely, which is probably a good thing for the markets, as there is not in sight a demand that could cope with large offerings. Speculation is as dead asa door nail, and it is almost impossible to draw an offer to sell or a bid to buy, either in the pit or on the call. Still prices remain firm at about the same level as for some time past. May has sold —— the week at 30tuhe and yesterday was offered at 30lec, with only 30c bid. Thedemand for the cash article was entirely from local feeders, shipping orders being very small. Yesterday No 2 sold at unc and 27%c was bid for No3, Noz white sold at 3l4ec and No3 White at 30l«c. The advance in wheat, which was hailed with great satisfaction by the bulls, is re- garded in an altogether different light by the flour millers, asithas again cut down the demand for thelr productand has reversed the condition ofthe market from great ac tivity, as noted a week ago, to the oid con- dition of extreme dullness. The advance in wheat naturally made millers more firmin their views of prices on flour, and the manu- factured article was put up in the same proportion as wheat. This had the effect of cutting off the foreign trade, which showed up so wellthe week previous, as the bids from the otherside were gener- ally 94 toolow. Not much was done inthe export trade after Tuesday, when wheat be- gan to advanre, although some ftavorable factors hadinthe meantime developed. In the first place another cut was made in the Eastern freight rates, the lowest obtained since the tariff went into effect on Jan. exchange was In ra vor seller on this side andthe price of bran held remarkably firm, but these conditions were of little Avall. The home trade took alittle more kindly to the advance and paid 5c a bbl more for flour, but business was not near as good as the week before. The total shipments were 44,509 Dbis, of which 33,785 went South, 9,624 East and 1,100 North and West. The mills were running on good time, and the output shows a further increase.

Cotton is experi- encine the same dose that has so long char- acterized wheat—little speculation and lack of interest, and this in connection with dull trade in dry goods, both at home and abroad, and large stocks of cotton, was more than the market could stand. The im- modiate cause ofthe break was the decline in silver in London, which started a large liquidation of cotton in New Torx, where the buying was confined to a few prominent houses. There has been a further decrease inthe movement into sight, as compared with last year and the year before, but even in the light of this movement there is little confidence felt inan extremely small crop. The decline in silver has had a most demoral- izing effect on the cotton trade of India, Argentine, Brazil and Mexico. The report ot dry goods market shows a some- what better demand but at farther conces- sions in price. A fair business has been done in print cloths at 2%c. _ * * There were no new developments in the hay market this past week.

The offerings of dressed poultry here dur- ing this month have been by far the largest ever known during February. As a result prices are astonishingly low, and yet the small figuresaonot check the very liberal receipts which contihue to come dally. . * = The late cold snaps penetrated South as far as Florida, the freezing line being passed at several shipping points in the State. Strawberries and other exposed early perish- atle products were so badly injured at a few places that the growers hesitate ship- ping them to distant markets. om — o The offerings of potatoes have been so very liberal without interruption that the bulk of the dealers declare it is useless to figure on margins, that mostof the operato seem determined to sell at about cost and that a small order trade alone discloses any profits: The principal dealers appear disgusted over the situation. * * The largest car of live poultry ever shipped to this market was received last week from Pearce & Lee, Doniphan, Mo., by the Rosa Alison Produce Co. It contained 511 dozen, or a little over 6,100 head of fowl, and all the stock was in good condition upon arrival. - a * Florida cabbage which could have been placed here at 52.50 a crate only a few days ago was hard to sell yesterday at $2, and the number of cars en route almost insure a further reduction during the coming week.

My sad story isan uncommonone, Allow me to trespass on your gener——.’’ Here is a dime. This man, notwithstanding the heavy competition he encountered, did well in the produce quarters. + + The list of articles the average commission merchant is called on to sell Is steadily grow- ing and discloses from timetotime some novelties. The following toa leading fruit merchant here illustrates: VIOLA, Fla., Feb. 20. I bave just killed a fine ailigator and have his hide tor sale, so write me at once what it is worth. He was about five feet long and has a beautiful skin. Unfortunately alligator skins inthis market sellfor only avout the express charges on them. That there is going to be an immense crop of eggs in the country, especially in the ter- ritory tributary to this market, is an assured fact. The supply will be far in excess of any former one. ‘he continued heavy receipts of dressed poultry coming hereisthe best evidence of this fact, and advices received by the various merchants show that there is still am abundance of live poultry in the country awaiting some improvement in prices. * * * The peaches in Texas are far from deing ll Kilied as supposed by many, and although they bave to run the gauntletin March, the worst monthin the yearon the new buds, there is still hope for half a crop. The fol- lowing from Wesley Love of Jacksonville, Tex., the leading peach growing district of the state, is of interest. Mr. Love is an ex- perienced cultivator and one of the big ship- pers: Our fruit crop is good yet, and while some ot it is Killed there is plenty left, and ifthe spring frosts don’t kill off what's in sight, will have what may prove a good crop.’’ oa * — Reports from Norfolk, Va., say: The truck - ers are blue over their kale and spinach crop. They are shipping, but the returns nardly pay for cutting and marketing the stuff. The crop is ia splendid condition, and there is plenty of it, and as the spring cab- bage crop is coming on they are impatient about the demand. Within two months there will be an enormous early cabbage crop to ship from the county and may make up the loss on kale and spinach. There has been no weather this winter to hurt anything on the truck farms, and many of the berry plants are in bloom and bearine fruit. * * * Oranges have not, after all, gone as low in the various markets as many predicted some time ago, Indeed, it can be said tnat Florida Oran ges are higher now in the principal Markets than the most thoughtful and con- servative operators in the trade predicted two months ago. However, this is in a meas- ure accounted for bythe small offerings of the California orange, competition from that quarter being still light, There,“ said ne. What do you think of that??“ as an experienced operator on the street threw Gown in front of the scribe re- turns for a car of cabbage he had consigned. The account sales wasa story full of disap- ointment to the shipper. It was New Or- eans cabbage, The freight on the car was only $30, and the net proceeds of this car was just $2. However, the owner came with it from the South and the prices ruling here did not satisfy him, so he ship d it else- where withthe above result.

Most of them die in ignorance.— E. B. Branch in Fruit Trade Journal. — Butter is no longer exported from this country to any extent, consequently the en- tire make of this country must find home consumption. All goes fairly well with the fine makes of both creamery and dairy. But when it comes to using up all kinds, or fina- ing sale for them, we miss the export trade. Foreign markets that formerly bought our goods are still buying such stock, but give us the cold shoulder, owing to the mixtures of imitation butter that have sent on to them for outter Oleo“ men ih this country. very recently an English judge fined a dealer $1,250 for selling a tubof butter that proved to be oleomarga „ although the dealer showed he was pot aware it was oleo, having bought it in a Gt of butter. The judge held he should know what he was offering and selling to an unsuspecting consumer. This judge also deciared the stuff was not fit tor human use. Foreign countries, even France, where oleo originated, seem much opposed tothe use of it, and are far more strict in their laws regulating and prowuibiting it than this country, where the manufacturer’s money counts. 6 U STREET.

2 reg eee Ma Ts sea mt on Coy 4 REL 2 25 ye e 0 CopREC? THE Why Only « man Percentags of the Grain Which Reaches st. Louis Stops _ Mere-Rates Made astern Points _ +Whieh Bnable Them to Ship Right Tus grain receivers of St. Louis are getting bear tur a concerted movement against ‘what they declare is unjust discrimination Atalnst them and in favor of points farther ast. The Commission Merchants’ Protect- Sve Association has been appealed to and the complainants have also framed an appeal to the Transportation Committee of the Mer- hauts“ Exchange, which is now consider- ing the charges, Just what the commission men complain of is set forth in a statement made to the Post-Dispatcoa by one of the principal agitators, who is a commission * merchant in first-class standing. He says: That the grain trade of St. Louis has sut- fered, and is suffering, incalculable injury through discrimination in freight rates by the railroads centering here is an indisputa- die fact. The dallx records of receipts and ‘shipments of grain at this point are mislead- img, and do not by any means correctly rep- Fesentthe quantity of grain handled in this market. For instance, published statements indicate corn receipts in this market for Jan- wary, 1894, to have been 3,408,165 bu. But the true facts in the case are that included ia these recéipts were 3,767 cars billed through to Eastern and Southern points, while only 1,333 Cars stopped at this point. So that instead of our receipts being 8,408,165 bushels,they were only about 890,000 busuels. During No- Vember, 19893, there stopped here 651 cars of corn as against 1,929 cars billed through. During December, 1893, there stopped here 1,815 cars as against 3,533 cars billed through. Assertions are made from time totime that the cause of the decline of St. Louls grain trade is discrimination of freight rates in favor of Chicago by Eastern lines. How- ever, as a matter of fact, for weeks ship- ments of corn from St. Louis and East St. Louis have been considerably in excess or those from Chicago. From Jan. 19, 1894, to Feb. 19, 1894, shipments of corn from St. Louis and East St. Louls were 2,361,006 bu, as against 1,251,388 bu from Chicago for the same period. (It must be remembered that the shipments from Sst. Louis and East St. Louis alluded to did not all ortginate at those goat but were comprised princl- pally of **billed through’’ grain.) This does not indicate that Chicago has been enjoying any particular advantage over st. Louls 1u the matter of Eastern rates of late. HOW IT IS DONE, **The discrimination against this market is due to the tactics ofthe railroads center- ing here. The raliroads bringing in the corn from the West have givenrates on ‘through billed’ grain that offer very material advan- tages to shippers who billit direct to East- ern, Southeastern and Southern points. From Omaha, South Omaha, Nebraska City, Council Bluffs and Hamburg, Io., the rates on corn to Evansville and Calro have been only ic per 100 pounds above the rates to St. Louis and East St. Louls. The Burlington & Missouri River Railroad in Nebraska have hadatarif_on grain from points on their line from local as well as competitive points, showing rates to Cairo and Evansville only le, 2c and 8c above the rates to St. Louls and East St. Louls. The Missouri Pacific Railroad has been making rates on grain from ail points on its line to Belmont on shipments for Green Line territory that are only s cents above the rates to St. Louis. Other Western roads too join Eastern lines in manipulating the through rate from their stations to points East of the Mississippi River, as was recently illustrated in a Louls- ville dealer payingashipper onthe Wabash West 29 cents at Mississippi River for No. 3 mixed oats when the same grain was selling in the St. Louls market for 27\sc. Of course 1 EVIL. it is not to be presumed that the roads carry- ing this grain from East St. Louis to Cairo and Evansville are performing the service for 1 cent, 2 cents and 3 cents per 100 pounds, but it is evident that the Western roads are — a part ot their rate with connecting nes. DOUBLE DISCRIMINATION. Not only do the Western roads share their earnings with the Eastern and Southeastern lines to make a reduced rate through, but they also allow their cars to go through and thus save the shipper ‘billing through’ the expense of transferring at this point. These advantages enjoyed by through shippers en- ble them to pay prices for grain to the West- ern dealer that prohibit shipments tothis market. It is a well-known fact that such buyers have for a long time paid the Western dealer l cent to2cents per bushel more for No. 38 or better corn delivered at the Mississipp! River than No 2 corn was selling for in the St.Louis market. With such siignt difference in rates to points east of the Mississipp!, and the shipper avoiding cost of elevator storage necessary to put the grain o b when Dought in this market, a material advantage is obvious in billing grain ‘through’ from Western polnts, and it is not to de wondered at that the amount of grain assing through this market has been argely in excess of that stopping for sale here. When by billing ‘through’ from a Western point the shipper obtainsa much less rate than would have to be paid with a combination of the rate to St. Louis or East st. Louis and the rate in force from St. Louis or East St. Louis, and avoids paying Ic er bushel elevator storage he would have pay if the orders were filled out of eleva- tors here, he is enabled to pay the Western grain dealer more for grain thap could be realized oy shipping on the St. Louis mar- ket, and can deliver it at a lower price to buyers in the South, Southeast and kast than dealers filling their orders in this market. WHAT IT COSTS sr. LOUIS. „The results of this discrimination by ral roads whose interests would appear to be identical with those of St. Louis are certainly more serious and of greater magnitude than the business men of our city comprehend. Millions of bushels of grain annually thus $6 through St. Louis that should, accora- ng to natural and business laws, be handled u this market. Compute the loss to the. business interests of this city inthe billing through’ of corn in the month of January, 1894. uring that month alone, in round numbers, 2,500,000 bushels of corn passed through that was not handled by the ele- vators or commission merchants. Had it one into elevators here and remained there only ten days it would have earned $25,000 storage. The commission merchants would have earned $12,500 in com- missions thereon. The exporters and deal- ers filling orders from Southern, Southeast- ern and Eastern points would Have earned a good round sum in the handling thereof. The revenue of the raliroads bringing in the corn from the West would have been greater, not having to share part of their rate with connecting lines, St. Louls banks would have handled the money and exchange con- nected with the business. In fact all classes of business are interested. Demonstrated that the one item of corn billed through in one month affects the business interests of St. Louis so materially, what must be lost to her commerce in the billing through of oot only corn but wheat and oats fora year? It ie simply enormous. _ EVERY FACILITY OBTAINABLE HERE. St. Louis capital has built and operates a fine system of elevators capable of handling the Westero grain tributary to this market. Commissigggmerchants have devoted capi- tal, time Gnd labor to building up an ac- ual and trade among the Western 1 rs. Merchants making a specialty and Southeastern order business hed here, and besides e an the country are located here.

Miss Ritchie isthe youngest prima donna on the American stage, being but 19 years of age, and this is her first appearance in St. ulis. ss Ritchie is a decided blonde, has a face of striking beauty of feature, a wealth of golden halr,a superb figure and magnificent lustrous eyes of violet blue, She looks more like a budding debutante than the prima donna of a comic opera Organization. In regard tothe question as to how she liked ber role in Tue Algerian,’’ she said: Jam perfectly delighted with it, as my part in ‘The Algerian’ not only allows me a chance to show myself as a singer, but it gives me quite a chance to show myself as an actress, as the part is one that must not only be sung Dut acted as well,’ Much has been said of the novelty of the music in ‘The Algerian;’ what is your opinion?’’ Well, the music as compared other op- eras is entirely different, as itis Eastern in character and very pretty. Indeed, I think some ofthe compositions tn ‘fhe algerian’ exceed by farany of Mr. De Koven’s former efforts, as they are lighter in tone and better suited to the tastes of the general public.’’ **Arid how about your costumes; are they beautiful?’’ „Les, they are, Miss Ritche’s eyes brightening up; ‘*i spent a great deal of time over them and a great deal of thought—I de- signed them myself, and I have changed and added to them nota little since I left New York. You see that large box in the corner?’’ said Miss Ritchie, pointing to a large express package; well, that box contains my new entrance dress, which I will wear to-night for the first time; itis froma design by Felix of Paris, and I think it very beautlful. Then, after a little conversation on general topics, Miss Ritchie smileda pleasant good night and turned to welcome a new comer. PATENTS And Trademarks Granted Missouri and Arkansas Inventors.

Bchedule—Bank Reserves. New YORK, Feb, 24.+—The financial week was broken into by Washington’s birthday. So far as legitimate business is concerned, the Exchange might as well have been closed the rest of the time. There is no speculation worthy of the name other than by profes- sional speculators. Brokers are bare of cus- tomers and stocks. Into what hands the floating supply of stocks has drifted would be impossible to say. It appears that the holders, whoever they are, are content to keep their stocks for higher prices. Kxcept from time to time, and in special cases, the market shows no signs of pressure. It Is true is shows no signs of outside support or investment, The various groups and pools working in the market accomplish nothing in the end in the way of changing prices. Superficially the bear position seems the most reasonable, but this is counter- acted ¢by low prices and no liquida- tion. One or two stocks in which the decline has been sligut, say New York Cen- tral and Western Union, continue the favor- ite objects ofattack by the bears, but as nearly allthe sales made imply subsequent orders to buy back, nothing has been accom- plished. The most conclusive arguments amount to nothing when unaccompanied by non-professional buying or selling. The reg- ular market has drifted into a condition of stable equilibrium. The good stories are all being toldand the best briefs have been placed before the court. The common sense of the people tells them this country ts not going to be ruined, and the same tells them the prevailing depression will, after a time, pass away. ‘he turn for the better is apt to come and after its arrival has been de- spAired of. The industrials have contributed most largely to keep the market from stagna- tion, As the principal brokers have special representatives at Washington and the local news agencies furnish various advices from the same quarter, there is nolimit tothe news aboutéthe tariff. The quotations for these parts, notably for Sugar, are therefore jerked up or down as the news which comes in seems more or less consonant. Ihe more reliable press advices throw no light on the outcome. Just as the summer was spent In wrangling over the repeal of the Sherman law, so the winter is passing with the tariff bill, so far not even reported tothe Senate. The oppor- tunities presented by parliamentary rules of that body tor unending debate are fully im- pressed onthe minds of ordinary observers by thistime. If Wall street alone were af- fected by this uncertainty it would be less strenuous, butas the trade of the country must stand with tied hands until the uncer- tainty is removed, it is a different matter. There is no help for this state. of things and it does no good to bewall it. What new in- cubus will de laid oon business and specula- tion when the tariff has been disposed of can- not be foreseen. Within a few months the winter wneatcrop will be harvesting, and one ofthe normal factors influencing stock values willcome into play. The street has haa Congress on its hands so long, and legis- lation has played such a prominent part in speculation, that when affairs return to their normal state the result will be interesting. The grain and cotton crops cannot fail to play an important partin the future course of prices. The —— and distressing combination ofasmalicropinthis country and bountiful crops in those countries competing witb us in the world’s marketis not apt to be per- manent. Overproduction regulates itself in time, and when the farmer in the far West can obtain only 25 or 80 cents a bushel for wheat he will stop plantingit. Competent observers ofthe wheat market are d:sposed to think a new levelof price must be estab- lished forthat article. Of course there will be fluctuations up and down from this level, but the idea ot dollar wheat has been aban- doned and the opinion is that 75 cents a bushel is likely to be the Classical price. The competition, long unknown, or at most unimportant, of Argentina, India, Australia and Russia has come tostay. Ihe first coun- try, through the development of transporta- tion facilities, is now ina position to play a considerable part in furnishing wheat tor the London market. The overproduction of cattle led the people to belleve that their lands might be put to better purposes than raising of cattle. The South two years ago reduced its acreage of cotton when the price fell below the cost of production andthe farmers turned their attention to raising corn and other things. A similar future may be in store for the wheat-growers of the Northwest. Lower rates of transportation and the generally cheaper prices for the necessaries of life, of course, Offset to some extent the diminished income accruing to the wheat-grower through the low price for his product. Ifthe above view, that ofa permanent lower level for wheat, be correct, still lower transporta- tion rates are predicted. It is this contin- gency which affects securities and is of inter- est tothe street. Since the best work of the present Congress has been on the lines of the repeal of former laws it should not adjourn until it has repealed or modified the inter- state commerce law in such a way as to al- low the railroadsto take some steps to pro- tect themselves and make living earnings out of the radically changed conditions with which they are and will be confronted. It was reported that the Finance Commit- tee of the Senate decided to favor refined sugar by a differential rate. The extent of the discrimination varied according to the purveyors of the news. Distilling was the weak feature of the day, losing three points on heavy transactions. Washington news was presumably accountable for the decline, thougk the details of the execution wrought this industry by the Senate Committee were not furnished. The bank statement figures are stillaffected by the bond payments, It would be otherwise difficult to account for the increase in loans amounting to $1,889,000. There is a net gain in cash of $918,000, the two increases swelling deposits $2,750,000. Specie decreased $671,000, legal tenders increased $1,589,000, thre latter largely resulting from the sub-treasury payments which during the week have been made inthis form. Circula- tion decreased $312,000. Sterling exchange closed strong with the same conditions of a limited supply met by a somewhat larger, though not large demand. Gold will not be shipped until the actual business rate for de- mand sterling reaches 4.89, as there appears to be no European demand sufficient to allow the slightest premium to shippers. Bank Reserves Increased. NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—The Post says: As was to be expected, the city bang reserves, now that the bond subscriptions have been all paid in, increased again this week. The in- crease was only $918,200 cash in all and chief - ly in the shape of interior remittances. Our banks have gained nothing directly from the Federal freasury this week, but as the Gov- ernment’s total balance has decreased in the same time $2,448,526 it is probably a question of time when local reserves will increase heavily. This excess of Government expenditure over income seems now to be fixed pretty close to half a million a day. The payment of notes in exchange for Treas- ury gold to use in bond subscriptions has in- creased the currency balance between the January minimum and the present time by $15,000,000. At the present rate it would only require thirty business days to bring Govern - ment balances to a point where the gold re- serve must again be us Payments, will another bond thatthe new en 9. ö oe Ras Bot advances 4 ses. | uotat — 0 For similar N88 — ede s. cessful conversion of the French %- per in Paris stead rentes has ) two points. put up the §-per-c6ents 1 | is wo in which the Western usual, : he returns This was the week broke their snow d resumed active traffic move- tne tha tee * „ ul e Bul . e e pith roads blockade an mont. ‘ bevy ©.

In the Weekly Medical Review of this city Dr. Francis Keane Murphy writeson hypnotism in pugilism and says that Corbett’s defeat of Sullivan was attributadle to an overmaster- ing psychicor odylic force exerted by Cor- bett from the moment the men stepped into the ring. The writer says: That such an effort was conscious and premeditated I will not assert, but that Corbett was full of ‘‘daring do“ and prepared to die or win, and that he had the amplest confidence he would win, andthat this brought into play the very psychic or odylic force in question, and that in effeet he had a pretty play of in- tellect as arrayed againstthe greater force but duller apprehension of Sullivan, all this I do certainly maintain. The result of that battle was the survival of the fittest, not so much, by any measure, ina physical as lu a psychic sense, or more narrowly speaking was brought about by an overmastering, nervous, odylicor bypnotic force, passing from the victor to the de- feated. This was instancedagain in the Corbett- Mitchell affair. Flashed with success and the eclat of a conqueror, Corbett was, ceteris paribus, invincible. Mitchell was a depressed, disheartened and therefore very probably a defeated man at the very inception of the fight, He was drave and sturdy no doubt, and hoped accident might turn the tide of battle in hie favor, but there 1s little doubt that he telt he was hoping agatnst hope. So long as Corbett’s mentality and nerves act so wellin concert with his superior phys- ical equipment he will probably continue to win. For what is hypnotism, mesmerism or magnetism if it is not a manifestation of nerve force, and What in turn is the superior play of intellect it it ia not the exunsrence, the exhiliaration of a finely wrought, highly endowed nervous system which in a measure presides over the entire man, psychic and physical. .

Fruitlese Searches of Mexicans for ths Lost Spanish Mines—The Present Dis- covery an Important One-Ore Sur- Passing in Richness Those of Crede— Bustle in Santa Fe. SANTA Fg, N. M., Fev, 24.—The low price of silver and the consequent closing of many silver mines have produced the result pre- dicted. The attention of miners and pros. pectors has been turned to gold, and new gold mining camps are springing up in the Rocky Mountain mineral belt. New Mexico is being prospected more’ thoroughly than ever before, and many rich discoveries have already rewarded the searchers. The terri- tory is allexcitement just now over the re- discovery of gold in the James Mountains near the old Indian puebio ef Cochiti. Long before the Spaniards came here the Cochiti pueblo was established by a part ot the gueerest tribe that had been driven out of the cliff dwellers of Rito de Los Frijoles by an Invasion of Navajos, and when the Spaniards took possession of the country the Cochiti was one of the strongestand most populous pueblos here. The Spaniards found gold in the Jemez Mountains and prior to 1680 they had a rich camp there. It is generally believed, although Mr. A. F. Bandelier, the archologtst, denies it, that the crueity of the Spaniards toward the Indians, whom they forced to work in the mines, was the cause of the insurrection of i 1680, which resulted in the expulsion of the Spaniards from the country. After driving out the Spaniards, the Indians cov. ered up the mines, removed the debris and destroyed all trace of mining operations. It is the firm belief of the old Spanish 2 that the Cocniti Indians aod the Sandia In- dians know up to this day where those mines are, and that if any Indian so much as hints at their location to any American or Mexican he lorfelts his life to his people. For many years the Mexicans have tried to discover the mines by following the Indians furtively, but the latter have never been surprised in the act of poking their nosesiato old aban- doned Spanish prospect holes. The Sandla indians have a trall to the mountains east of their pueblo and they say it leads to the mines, but it is a cherished theory of many Mexicans, a favorite fireside tale, tuat instead of having some rich mine to guard, those Indians have a sacred snake in a mysterious cave and that they sacrifice young children to the snake every year as was the custom of the Aztecs. However carefuliy,the Indians may guard the secrets ofthe old Spanish mines, they have not been able to prevent the American prospector from finding gold-bearing quartz Veins in the districts. On the eastern siope of the Jemez Mountains, almost opposite the junction of the Rio Santa Fe with the RIO Grande, isthe new gold camp of Cochiti. About fifty men are there and many more are walting for the snow to melt, so they can go to the camp and stake out claims along the eight miles of rich leads. The snow came about ten days ago and will last two or three weeks longer. There are nearly a dozen well defined veins running north and south along the slope, varying from three toten feet in width, all of them carrying gold and silver in large quantities. Millrunson average samples have yielded 3180 a ton, and some into the thousands. Pieces of the ore shown here are identical in character to the rich ores of Oreede. Min- ers who have been in the camp since last fall declare that the discovery is the biggest that bas Deen made in fifteen years, and that the leads exceed those of the Comstock lode on the suriace by several miles. The leads are true fissure veins with porphyry walis. Chicago capital is already interested in the camp, a Mr. Allerton of the Boaru of Trade having several claims and a representative on the ground. The district probably will be called ‘‘Allerton,’’ The principal collection of miners’ tents and huts has been named Camp Harrison, after the late Mayor of Chicago, Cochitiis about thirty miles west of here and is reached by a good wagon road. The village is without stores or hotels, being only a straggling collection of adobe houses and an ancient church, and Santa Fe is therefore the outfittin Oint for the mines. Miners from Colorado bound for Cochitiare coming in every day and a stage iine has been started to take them to camp. Citizens of this place are fitting out pros- pecting parties and as soon as the snow melts there will bea rush such as the old ueblo has not seen since the time when lego de Vargas rode over there with bis soldiers to replace the Spanish yoke on the necks Of the rebellious Indians who filied up the snafts of the Cochiti mines. The mining excitement here got another boost to-day by the exhibition of some coarse placer gold by Supt. Helm of the Santa Fe southern. He sald the diggings paid 40 cents a pan, but would not reveal the loeation. It leaked out that it is not many miles from Cochiti along the west bank of the Rio Grande and not far from San Ildefonso. Mr. Helm will send some men out there in a day or so on the quiet, but if his party is not trailed to the diggings it will be because everyone here has forgotten how to follow. Apparently sleepy New Mexico, the ‘‘Land of Poco Tiemp, is about to be waked up by a gold mining boom of big size. There has been less to-morrow and more hustle in Santa Fe this week than for the past ten years. TO SIT AT THE ROYAL TABLE. The Honor in Store forthe American Bride ot Prinoe Isenberg. New YORK, Feb. 24.—Not to be allowed to sit at the same table at dinner with the Em- peror and Empress vf Austria is one of the things that Is likely to offend a self-respect- ing American. When George Pullman heard that it was a question whether his daughter, in the event of her becoming Princess Isen- berg von Birstein, would be welcomed at the royal table, he nattrally re- belled at the proposed union in this case the parental donsent was absolutely necessary. As all the world knows, the Emperor is something of a match maker himself, and has recently arranged that a young relative of his should be ha py with the poor man of her choice rather than unbappy withthe wealthy titled suitor to whom she !s related. It must have been close onto St. Valentine's day when he de. cided that his cousin, Prince Isenberg, should sit with his American bride at the table at all kinds of social functions, and in view of this announcement considerable proi nese has been made toward the be- trothal. The Prince is the titled man of over here at present. He acquired 3 through his mother, who dia not make quite as good a match as she should. The Prince is now understood to have entirely won the heart of Mr. Pullman, who has reconsidered matters so that the engagement of the Prince with his daughter may now be congid- eredon. Accordingtorumor he went with at frankness into the discussion of the question whether the Prince's marriage to an American girl would not be received with at satisfaction by the twenty-five amilies on the other side. It is now Be. believed that, In consequence of the Em- ror’s efforts, they may be induced to wel. come the bride in right toyai fashion, Nat. urally a very big dot has been demanded, but a e — Ar — it will shortly be forthcoming. +e : Chinese Registered.

Joe Hardin, the Centralia, III., train- robber, who escaped from the Chester Peni- tentiary a few days ago, hada very hard time of it after his escape from confinement, and a result of his exposure will probably be the amputation of both his feet. He made his escape by permitting himself to be cov ered with clay in the bottom of a dump cart and was then thrown into the river and ro- mained in the water for some time, He then walked many miles, wet through and through, in the cold and when near Menard, when almost exhausted and suffering greatly he crawled intoa haystack to get warm and dry his clothing. He was discovered almost frozen to death by a farmer the next morning who was busy feeding his cattle, and an examination re- vealed the fact that his feet were badly frozen aad would probably have to be ampu- tated. He was too weak to offer resistance and was returned tu Chester. 1 Secret Society Notes. Grand Secretary Chas. B.

The Bostons have been playing ball All winter on the Pacific Coast. The Oleve- Jands will practice in their gymnasium at nome. The Cincinnatis will spend their training days at home. So will Pittsburg, Brooklyn, Chicago and Louisville. New York and Baltimore may take a short run through the South, but the matter is not yet posi- tively decided. The Browns will play their first exhibition game on St. Patrick’s Day if the weather is pleasant. If not, the opening game will be on Sunday, March 25, with the Belleville Clerks at New Sportsman’s Park. Then Will follow a series of exhibition games in April with the best of the Western League ciubs, the series opening with Jim Man- ning’s Kansas City team, April 1. 2 and 3. Manager Manning has written that he will leave his home at Fall River, Mass., for Kan- sCity in a few days. Manning says his eam is one ofthe strongest in the Western League and will, barring accidents, cut quite an interesting figure inthe championship race. report is current that the Browns’ great A -Dackstop, Dick Buckley, will tackle Cham- pion Jim Corbett at a series of handball games in Chicago. Buckley has few superiors at handball and he would give the champion ght to a finish at his favorite game. Buckley can play handball better with his feet than many experts can with their hands, He’s as quick asa cat, has an eye like an eagle and can cover gr und in a handball court with wonderful agility. Buckley has been putting inthe winter at the Mt. Clem- ens bathsandat hiscarpenter’s bench and e claims that he is in just shape as he was before injured here a year ago last fall. If he is, the Browns will be in it red hot witn their mag- nificent batteries. Arthur Clarkson, who is the coming mem- ber ofthe family on the diamond, writes from his home at Cambridge that he is in shape and will be prepared to demon- trate that he can successfully hold his own the coming season. He says he's as glad as the proverbial kid with red-top boots that Calliope Miller has been secured to play with the Browns. According to Arthur. Miller isa mever-say-die hustler, who keeps himself and everybody else movinginthe game and can catch anything this side of a locomotive, go well ‘‘trained’’ is he in the business. — — * President von der Ahe win meet Harry Wright at the League meeting, and the chances are the veteran manager will be en- gaged to handle the managerial reins 3 8 move will be a decidedly popular one, and would becommended ali over the country. ay Wright’s connection with the st. Browns would not only benefit the club in a playing sense, but it would materiaily enhance the financial strength of the St. Browns, bringing a good many dollars the club’s exchequer. Mr. Von der Ahe tes this fact, and he is willing to do the right thing with the oldest and best non- playing manager in the business. . * — The Rules Committee of the National League will meet in New York to-morrow At 8 o’clock and complete their report, to De presented to the League on Tuesday. Messrs. Von der Ahe, Brush and Reach have over the work pretty thoroughly, and present their recommendation; in such —"¢ that they will, it is expected, meet with very general approval. — * * Four of the Browns who live here have #igned—Breitenstein, Peitz, Werden and Rappold—and it will not be long now before the contracts of a good many ofthe other ers will come rolling in at Sports man's L.

Oomparatively few people are aware that the Pastime Athletic Club of this city has in itsemploy aman who bas successfully de- fended the title of champion athlete of the world against all comers, and who has made a series of records and won a profusion of prizes of which any athlete might well be proud. This man is their trainer, Thomas Aitken. He was born May 23, 1853, in Walk enburn, Scotland, where, at the age of 16 he won his first handicap. In the three suc- ceeding years he bested all the local ath.- letes in running and jumping, and in Thomas Aitken. 1878 he was taken in charge by Trainer Frank Glassup of SheMeld and trained fora big 300 - yard handicap, which he won easily on May 23. Now fully started on an athletic career, he toured ali over Scotland and de- feated all comers at sprint running and jumping. Some of his records were remark- able foran all-around athlete, such as 130 yards, 12%s.; 440 yards, 50%s.;one mile, 4m. 42s.; hop, step and jump, 40 it. 1 in.; high ump, 5 ft. 11½ in.; pole vault, 10 ft. 11 in.; ong jump, 22 ft. 2 in. In addition to these feats he put the shot and threw the hammer further than anyone in England or Scotland and won the wrestling champtonship (Cum- beriand style: for his weight. Getting no one to accept any ofthe numer- our challenges after his superiority was establisned, he ccme to America in October, 1879. A few days after landing be won the 220. run, hop, step and jump, high and long jump at the Irish Nationalists’ games in Boston. The next year he challenged any athlete in America to an all-round competi- tion but got notakers. He toured the States and Canada, beating all comers in sprint running and jumping. He won the 100 yards race in Boston five years in succession and beat H. M. Johnson at 100 yards in New York. In188 he won the all-round cham- pionship at Philadelphia. Since then he has been trainer tothe Amherst College athletes and the Manhattan Athletic Club previous to accepting a position as trainer to the Pas- time Club. The Pastimes new track was built under his supervision, and as a trainer here and elsewhere he has met with most marked success. All through his athletic career Mr. Aitken has enjoved the respect and esteem of his associates and has never been accused of engagiag in crooked work. During his career Mr. Aitken made some unusually fine records. He is credited with doing 100 yards in 9 4-5s. at Providence in 1886. In Boston, in 1880, he is credited with making 6 feet ½ inch in the high jump. His hop, step and jump record is 49 feet 1 inch, which he made at Bridgefallen, Scotland, At Powdernhall Grounds, Edinburg, he won a half mile in 2m. 2s. He won the Cumberland style of wrestling at Boston in 1891, and beat Jim Collins of Chicago ina hurdle race the same year. WINTER FIELD DAY. An Excellent Programme of Sports at the Country Club. A most enjosable day was experienced at the Country Club yesterday, by the members and guests. A ‘‘special’’ conveying about seventy people arrived at Bridgeton at ncon, at which placethe club omnibus and four wagons, the interiors of which were cosily arranged, were in readiness to convey the members and their friends to the club house, andon reaching the cluba cold luncheon was served, after which people flocked to a — behind the stableto witness a pigeon- shoot. For this event there were five entries, the conditions being fifteen single birds at twen- ty-eight yards rise. The result was as fol- lows: Mr. . Z. Smith, 13 birds; Mr. O. W. Scudder, 12 birds; Mr. L. D. Dozier, 12 birds; Mr. D. Filley, 11 birds: Mr. J. Blair, 10 birds. This was good all round shooting, as the birds were strong, and a rather high wind was blowing. f The next event was a polo pony steeple chase for members’ ponies only,one and one- half miles over natural country and fences atcatch weights. The following were the entries: Bobby Shafto, Groya, the Phiios- opher, Peggy and Kitty Clover. The start was made in a stubbie feld behind the sta- bles, Mr. C. Hodgman, starter. Capt. G. F. Wainswright on Peggy made the running to the first fence followed by Mr. R. Frost on The Philosopher, Mr. A. Cushman on Bobby sha to Mr. F. 3 on Graga and H. Organ riding tty lover.

AMONG THE BOWLERS. The Crescent-All St. Louis Record: Break- me Matoh— Alley Echoes. The Grands were the chief gainers in the St. Louis Cocked Hat League tournament last week. By winning five games from the Comptons they seem to have gotten beyond their reach as a competitor for second place. There are, however, sixteen hard games be- tween the Grands and the Crescents, and the latter do not regard the prospect of having to give up to the Grands their grip on the ennant as likely ever to become threaten- ng. The Grands may pride themselves on their victory over the Comptons, as it was characterized by the biggest match-rolling ever recorded.

Suspected Hypo’ Injections Caused the Medison Management to Refuse His Entry Scme Time Ago—Gen- Ross and Henry Owsley Captured New Orleans Purbes—Yesterday’s Results and To- Morrow's Entries. The inconsistent performing of Doubtful while that horse was owned by D. C. Beck caused the Madison track management to re- ject his entry. Judge Swigert had become conviced that the animal’s in- an- out run- ning was due to dope“ injections and as he is opposed to this tricky horse training method, Beck was denied an opportunity to race Doubtful at the Madison track. W. H. E. Smith then purchased the horse and was given permission to race himagainat Madi. son, after promising to refrain from giving the animal any more ‘‘hypo’’ injections. While owned by Beck, Doubtful is said to have rarely won without the dope.“ Yes- terday was his first start in Smith’s name and Judge Swigert was anxious to see how he would perform after his reformation. Very few of the talent, who knew that Doubtful only wop heretofore when given the injec- tion, bet on him and his price lengthered out from 2 to to Ii at post time. To the sur- prise of everyone he performed like the gamest of thoroughbreds in the race, and after standing the hurdest kind ofadrive allthe way downthe stretch, won on the post by a nose from Sunbeam. Heck, the second pick, finished third. Doubtful’s good race greatly pleased Judge Swigert and the reformation of ‘‘doped’’ horses will receive his special attention from now on. Acilojam was the only winning favorite yesterday. The cold weather did not affect the attendance much and some entertaining sport was wit- nessed over slow going. Pisano, the favorite, just managed to show inthe first race, Diamond Dick winning by two lengths from Sonoma Boy. Bravourina, first pick at 2to1 and s to 2, finished unplaced in the second event. Folly won bya length from Ed Glenn, who de- feated Silent a nose for the place. Mount McGregor won the third race by one length from Irene H. and Sleepy Fred, who were heads apart in the order named, The favorite, Acilojam, captured the fifth event handily by two lengths. Censor de- feated Reuben Payne for the place, with two lengths to spare, Fakir won from Vida by one length in the last race. Fred Foster’s Col.

After years ofagitation and aggravating 5 delay, a beginning of the burial of the elec- tric wires in St. Louls is about to be made. The National Postal Telegraph Co. and the St. Louis Underground Service Co. have signed contracts to do business together. The former has agreed to occupy the con- duit of the latter for forty-five years, and the Underground Serrice Co. has agreed to ex- tend its system as fast as the growth of the Postal Telegraph Co. underground system demands such extension. This week the Underground Service Co. will put its conduit in order for use, and will take steps to let contracts for the constraction of additional conduits. The Postal will, on its part, go in- to the market as a purchaser of electric wire cable and, as soon as the cabie is ready, the Postal will occupy the conduit. This deal has been pending less thana month. ft is now finished as far as authori- tative signatures to legal contracts can finish it. Such reiteration of a comparatively sim- pie statement would be unnecessary—and even a reflection on the reader's intelligence Eik the hope ofthe people long deferred had not made their hearts sick. They have looked torward from monthto monthand from yearto year, but the horizonof hope has been ever receding, and the most san- guine had about concluded that the burial of the wires was as far ahead as the millennium.

Baker of the National Postal Telegraph Co. > ent from New York a request for President j Charles Sutter of the St. Louls Underground Service Co. to come on there and talk busi- ness. Mr. Sutter went and held a two days’ conference with Mr. Baker and Assistant General Manager E. C. Bradley. At the con- clusion of the conference the general fea- tures ofan agreement had been accepted by Doth parties, and since then the contracts, in ~*~ exact manner and form,have been drawn up „and approved by both parties. Last night tue deal was formally closed. ; CONDITIONS OF THE CONTRA CT. At that conference Mr. Sutter was informed that the Postal had already investigated the { conduit situation here, through its St. Louls manager, Col. Dougherty, and that its on- cers only wanted to know when and how the Underground Service Co. could provide for ' them. They were told just what the Under- if ground Service Co. now has, what it was ready todo forthe Postal or any other com- pany seeking to bury electric wires, and added that it would extend its system and use any materials that could be agreed upon with good tenants. The Postal company of- ficers stated that they were just getting ready tooccupy new quarters in St. Louls, andthatthey should want accommodation under ground withinafew weeks, and that they must have it in a very few months. They said that they had pursued the policy in every large city where they did business to get under ground if such a thing were poss!- le, and that several cities they had taken ‘the initiative. They wanted to do so here. Mr. Sutter canvassed the situation thor- Oughly with them, showed them what the @eondition of the conduit is at present, and attheir suggestion agreed to adopt inthe construction of extensions, conduit com- posed of cement-lined iron pipe laid in cement. These are the best approved devices and material now in use. The cement-lined iron pipe is in use in several of the Eastern cities, and has proved eminently satisfactory—more, satisfactory than most other materials of Which conduits have been constructed. It is said to cost considerably more than most other kinds of conduit, but to be of sufficiently greater value to compen- Sate the outlay. During this week work will be begun on the conduit now laid. It is in good general con- ition, but the eovers of some of the man- _ , holes, which were orizinally sealed with _ , oakum, have been uncovered for purposes of / inspection, and it Is 11 1 that a little ne water will be found at the bottoms of these manhole pits. Otherwise the conduit is known to be in serviceable condition. At present tne conduit is laid on Broadway m Elm street to St. Oharles street; on arket west to Tenth,on Tenth north to Chestnut, and on Chestuut west to Twelfth. / Throughout its present extent the conduit is laid with 18.2% inch ducts, It is now of sufficient capacity not only to take in all the Wires stretched along the streets under which it extends, but to allow for the growth of several years. COL. DOUGHERTY INTERVIEWED. Col, Christopher Dougherty, manager for tho Postal in St. Louis, confirmed the fact of the completion of the contract when applied to by a Post-Dispatcu reporter. We ex- pect to be under ground in ninety days, he 1d. The Postal Telegraph Oo, has pur- Sued the policy of putting its wires under d without being compelled 80 to do, wherever it has had the opportunity, and we are glad to do the same in St. Louis. We have just concluded the work of putting our wires under ground at Cleveland, O., and that without being forced. We understand that an order of the city to put our wires un- der und might carry with it the right to build our own conduits, but we do not desire to wait to be forced to this step. We are willing to be in line with the progress of the 9 wa tr eee any stipulation in 2 the compa n the conduit?“ pany you may have ee * and it did not cost me over $25. At Four- teenth and Chestnut streets the street rail- road company did not do its part of the crossing in time, and the ground settled a little there; also at Broadway and Market street, but those were the only two places where there was any trouble. You may be sure that if the conduit was notin good con- dition now the ground overit would have sunk. The work of construction was super- intended by Mr. George H. Norton, the same man who is now superintending the Forest Park Lake for the Post-DISPATOH, and he is one of the best superintendents of construc- tion I ever had. JAMES CAMPBELL DISCUSSES IT. Mr. James Campoell being asked whether the electric ight companies would be com- pelled to occupy a conduit built by the city or by a private corporation replied No.“ He stated that both the Mu- nicipal and Missouri companies had Jrights under thelr contracts for city lighting to lay conduits whenever they saw t; and that plans had been submitted by the Missouri company to the Board of Public Improvements with reference to the construction of a subway in which tocarry their wires. The Laciede Gaslight Co., continued Mr. Campbell, has, under its charter, aright to the use of the streets for the laying of mains and ducts for conveying any substances for illuminating purposes. This would leave any public or private cor- poration owning a conduit with only three customers, to-wit, the Bell Telephone Co., the Postal Telegraph Co., and the Western Union Telegrapu Co., and the revenue from these three companies would hardly be sum cient to pay the interest onthe cost of con- struction of five miles of subway.’’ Mr. Campbell was asked whether the old Dorsett conduit, now controlled by the Underground Service Co., did not have a prior right in the streets, and whether the rights of the Municipal and Missouri com- panies and even of the Laclede, under their contracts with the city, will not be seriously impaired thereby. CLAIM THE FRANCHISE IS VOID. **I think not, he replied, for the reason that it is the opinion of our most dis- tinguished attorneys in this city that the franchise held by Sutter and others is vold; and this was discovered to be the fact when it was offered to the Bell company, and at a very nominal price; but before accepting it, it was submitted to the attorneys, who advised the Bell company not to pur- chase it, asthe city was not, in their opin- ion, authorized to grant any privilege. I, therefore, assume that anybody contem- plating the occupation of the present con- duit or any portion of it would inguire into its validity before expending any amount of money by placing their mains or wires 0 There is good ground for the belief that the city may not see her way clear for a long time to the ownership ofa conduit; and the tendency of legisiation at Jefferson City has been tuat St. Louis has nothing lke absolute jurisdiction over the Bell and Western Union Telegraph compa- nies in the matter of disposing of theirwires. And although the privileges and franchises of the electric lighting com- panies referred toby Mr. Campoelil are very general in their scope and permit those com- panies to occupy the entire territory of the oity for commercial lighting, there are still left several groups of capitalists who are anxious to getinto the same business. One electric lighting franchise that has as yet been put to no use isin existeace, and applications for at least two more are likely to be introduced 1 the Municipal Assembly at an early ate. DRAWBACKS TO MUNICIPAL CONDUIT. Now, itis argued, ifthe Missouri, the Edl- son and the Laclede have each charter rights to go under ground, as Mr. Campdell states, and ifthe city is unable to compel the Bell Telephone Co, to go intoa public conduit, no business would be left for a municipal con- duit, it one were built. The city’s contract with the Municipal and Missouri companies is that if she compels them, at any time be- tween Jan. 1, 1890, and Jan. 1, 1900, to go under ground, the shall bear an equal proportion of theexpense. This, her fiscal officers claim, she is unable to do at present, and without prospect of beingable to do within the six years remaining. There- fore, it is said, if all these great electricity-distributing corporations are independent of the city inthe matter of going into a public conduit, the resuit of all the existing agitation for the burial of the wires will be, in spite of popular sentiment now, the construction of several more con- adults. By the time the fourth or fifth private conduit is down, the municipality andthe people will have grown weary of seeing the streets torn up, and will insist on com panies coming into the eld subsequently finding space with one or the other of the conceras owning conduits. Thisis where the common carrier principie is expected to inure to the benefit of whichever company Is willing to act as a common carrier. On the otber hand, if the city should find means to construct a municipal conduit, it will be without customers for the immediate future, and it is predfcted that the company which should construct the conduit and ope- rate it under a guarantee from the city would in the end ac- quire its ownership. That being the case there would then be two conduits in existence under the common crrrier prin- ciple instead of one, as now, beside the private conduits which the Missouri, the Municipal, the Laclede and the Bell com- panies claim they have the right to construct. Their position is pot that the city cannot compel them to gounder ground, but that it cannot compel them to use any other conduit than their own. SETS A PRECEDENT. The recent action ofthe Postal Telegraph Co. isadmitted on all hands tofurnisha valuable precedent tothe city in dealing with all concerns which are distributing elec- tricity, and whether any other local con- cern than the Postal shall occupy the Dorsett conduit or not, none of them will de long permitted to obstruct the streets with their — after the Postal has buried ts wires. It, therefore, follows that one ofthree things will happen: 1. Either several electric companies will, in the gear future, receive private franchises (which is repugnant to public sentiment as now generally expressed). 2. The city will build a municipal conduit and mee! every one above ground at the time ofits com- letion to occupy it; or (8) the ational Subway Co., and perhaps another common carrier or two, will reap a rich harvest. It goes without saying that the local field is not yet filled with concerns basing their operations upon the application of electricity to com- mercial uses. Iwo new telephone com- panies are already in sight, as well * one or more new electric ighting companies; beside which definite and indefinite rumors are in circulation con- cernin now enterprises, not yet fully de- a are tadiper of the pabite Zaina’ aia Bave gotten 0 public mind ve ten their wires dis of 2 1 t to their own satisfaction, will have cause to commiserate the later comers. The Postal Telegraph seems to have placed itselfinthe van of those who will, the years to come, have such cause for self-con- gratulation. ' duct.

An hour after the general alarm was sounded the firemen had accomplished all that was pos- sible and the blaze was practically extin- guished. Before the firemen had succeeded in their work, however, the building had been ruined. Asthe fre spread through the dry timbers of the roof, burning embers soon began dropping to the floor and the supports gradually weakened, at last gave way, car- rying with them the connected parts of the roof. The dome then pitched in ruins to the floor. Its fall practically putan end to the firemen’s work. Small patches of flame were visible around the ragged edges of the roof, but floods of water directed against them soon drowned out all danger ofa spread of the fire. The destruction of the dome left the already partially ruined building even more un- sightly, and it now bears little resemblance to the ornate structure surmounted by the statue of Diana, which formed a feature of the Court of Honor, But one theory was advanced at the grounds regarding the origin of the fire. Every one agreed that arg incendiary was again responsible for the destruction. The repeated attempts to burn the Fair baild- ings have been ascribed to this cause and the conclusion was promptly reached that to-day's ruin could be safely attributed to the same cause. Crowds of people flocked to the scene and watched the fire for hours, With the excep- tion of the peristyle fire, that of to-day was the worst the Fair has had since it closed, and spectators founda great deal to interest them. Near the dome of the nmulld- ing were numerous groups of statu- ary looking in the grand basin. As the flames Durnedaway their supports, the gigantic figures tottered and fell into the fire below. some of the groups fell away from the fireand were dasned to pieces on the frozen ground. Arms, legs and heads of the fallen sculptures littered the promenade nearly to the edge of the Lagoon. JUBILANT WEAVERS. They Win All Along the Line iu the East — Good Times Promised. NEW YORK, Feb. 244.—In the camp of the striking ribbon-weavers there was great ela- tion yesterday. Itwasthesixth day of the strike and the manufacturer, E. J. Stern- hart of this city, signed the new scale. Twenty-six weavers went back to work. At College Bolnt, L. I., 110 weavers struck yesterday afternoon, 40 at Funke’s shop and 70 at Oppenhyn’s shop. It was announced by the Strike Committee last night that 150 weavers at Union Hill, N. J., would submit the new price list to-day. ‘ Smith and Kaufman discharged their non- union men and it was said the firm was on the point of yielding to the strikers. At Wellbacher’s mill, Brooklyn, the men firmly adhered to the price list which they adopted, though they were offered a 20 per cent in- crease. The outlook in Paterson, N. J., points to the return of the good times. It ig a revival of trade similar to that which occurred after the panic of 1873, during which business yrew so extensive ana remunerative that many men who started with a single loom in a few years were able toerect large factories. Ihe indications are that another period of this Kind is at hand. Nany manufacturers, and some of them protectionists ofthe extreme order, admit that the prospects are decidedly rosy. One man to-day said the outlook in silk has not been so good in five years. We may expect an unprecedented era of prosperity. He said he attributed the change tothe market which had been overstocked fora year or so grad- ually attaining a normal and healthy condl- tion. Within the last few weeks mills in Paterson that have been for a long time idle have started up at advanced wages, andina number of cases on full time. In most of these cases advances in wages have been made voluntarily by the mill owners. SICKLES’ SALARIES. Comptroller Mansur Decides That the Veteran Is Entitled to Them. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 234.—Second Comptroller Mansur of the Treausury De- partment, to-day decided the case of Gen, D. E. Sickles, the question being his right to draw salary both asa memberof Congress and asaretired officer. After a long opinion the Comptroller says: In conclusion, I sum up the status ofa retired army officer to be as follows, to-wit: He may hold under any civilof fice, under the Government, save and exceptthose ofa Senator or member of the House of Representatives, which by the Constitution are inhibited to him, or to any officer, civil or military, un- der the United States; that he can draw his pay, as a retired officer, and also draw the saiary or compen- sation of any civil office or employment he may hold under the Government; assuming always that the duties of the civil office are performed under and by virtue of a commis- sion appointing him to that office, which he holds in addition to his rank as a retired officer. tm Ine effect of the decision is that Congress, in swearing in Gen. Sickles when it knew by the common report that he was an army of- cer On the retired list, has decided tnat he can be a member of Congress at the same time that he is a retired army officer and hence he can draw two salaries. Congressman Houk’s Successor. CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 24.—The campaign for the election of a Congressman from the Third Ohio District to fill the vacancy created by the death of Congressman Houk has started and a lively time is anticipated. It has been practically settled that Paul J. Sorg. the mil- lionaire tobacco. man of Middletown, will be the Democratic candidate. Chairman Wilson, Bourke Cockran, ex- Gov. Oampbell, John J. J. McMahon and others will stump the district in Sorg’s in- terest. McKinley will be Ex-Speaker Reed and Gov. arrayed on the Kepublican side. Wants to Succeed Dockery. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 24.—Col. Bd Turner of Clinton County, Mo., is out for Coggress in the Third District, not so much because he wants the office, but because he is convinced that Hon. A. M. Dockery does not know his business.

CuicaGo, Feb. 24.—The motion fora new trial of Assassin Prendergast was ¢verruled to-day by Judge Brentano and Prendergast was sentenced to be hanged March B. Prendergast had entered court in charge of a bailiff. He had been shaved early in the morning and his hair was carefully combed. The assassin was assigned to a ebair in the place he occupied during his trial. He soon grew restless, and moved about in his chair uneasily. His face was pale and his eyes rolled around unceasingly. As the Court addressed Prendergast and asked him if he had anything to say why sen- tence should not be passed upon him Pren- dergast arose tohis feet, nervously drew a small sheet of paper, covered with notes, from his vest pocket, and addressed the Court as follows: PRENDERGAST’S PLEA. „1 don’t suppose. your hosor, that it would do me any good to say anything to the court now, Ihave made no preparation to say anything in particular. I suppose your honor is under the impression that you have done your duty, but this plea of Insanity has been set up by my attorney without my con- sent. It is an infamous, a dirty and a dis- reputable plea, and done against my objec- tions. Now, as for juror Murray. It is certain to my mind that from the manner he answered questions he wag anxiousto bea juror in this case. There was something wrong also in regard to summoning the veniremen. Juror Larkin came hereon a written statement, but of course the de- fendant had no control over this part of the court’s work. A local paper contained a whole column about it at that time, and it is not necessary for me to go into it further now. Wehad no opportunity to watch the proceedings in summoning the jurors. Hut that is not the question. At tùe very beginning of this trial the court told me my attorneys would attend to my case. Never- theless, they did not. As stated before, your Honor, they set up this infamous plea of in- sanity against my will, But, your Honor, the issue is, did Idoright or did I do wrong? Did Ido my duty or did Inot? Did Idothe will of God or did I not? This point has never been touched upon, and I say it is the only issue before the court. »Of course, if I did wrong I should be con- demned. But, your Honor, if I did rightI should be justified and acquitted. ** As for this talk about the Dacey or the Guiteau case, the court all along ruled that no reference should be made to it, but the attorneys for the defendant continued it throughout the trial. As far as these doctors are concerned they came to me without my consent and without my invitation and I did not write them nor give my consent for them to come and find out whether I was insane or not. No doubt the motives of these men were humane, but it was through the con- nivances of Jallor Morris that they got into tnat jail. HIS OPINION OF Wi VICTIM. Now, your honor and everybody says that Harrison was a great and good man. Ideny this. A good mar is generally faith- ful to his friends, and Harrison wasnot. If he had been a good man he would not have been hostile toward me. „But tnis newspaper trust, your honor. Wehave been attacked by this newspaper trust, and if the sentence of this court is carried out you will all be atthe hands of this newspaper trust. No man’s character or reputation will be safe. 1 don’t know what will be the result. ‘*Even while I was in your county jail I was threatened with death. This man Morris, the jailor there, said to me: I'll Kill you be- fore you leave this jall, no matter what the court and the bailiff do with you.’ The Sher- iff of this county isa Republican, while my principles are Democratic, and that is why this Is. **But the issue, Your Honor, is whether I did right or wrong. If this court wants to shirk the responsibility in this case it will not be my fault. Mostof the motions made by the attorneys for me have been overruled by the court, and that was wrong. Then there is this great grade-crossing issue. If Your Honor consents to my death, to my murder, you also oonsent to take the lives of these people onthe infamous grade crossings. Thatis what caused me to shoot Harrison, although 1 had stood by him in times of distress. Jam feeling much better now, your honor. My health is much better than when I first went to jail. The terrible food they gave me there sheok me physically and men- tally. In this case I have been charged with be- ing vain glorious and a notoriety seeker. This is not true, and it has been disproven in this trial. Christ was not a vain glorious man, neither am I, The temptations that were offered Christ on the mount snowed that he was not vain glorious, and anyone that nas withstood such temptations as I have is certainly not vain glorious. ‘*] suppose these doctors really wanted to know whether I was sane or not. They think they have done good, but as 1 go to this scaffold they will be made infamous through- out allages. It was the most infamous thin in history to kill Christ on the cross, and 1 willbe as infamous to hang me. I think these doctors act in rather a meddlesome way, coming to see me without being in- vited and without my consent. They had better attend to their oon business for they had no cause to come and see me. „„gut, your honor, this is not the issue. The issue is did I do right or did I do wrong? Did 1 do my duty asIclaimIdid? This issue remains for you, the Court, to determine.“ Ending his speech Prendergast glanced wildly about the room and sat down to listen to the sentence of the court. He did not lfs- ten to the great part of the Court’s remarks, butturned half around and looked at the large clock on the wall. PASSING SENTENCE OF DRATH, The court-room was filled when the Judge read his decision, Prendergast appeared in- different for a time, but as the reading pro ceeded, appeared ready to make one of his old-time scenes. Prendergast was ordered to stand up during the reading of the sen- tence. Judge Brentano said: ‘Patrick Kugene Prendergast, it rarely falls to the lot of the Court to discharge so painfuladuty as devolves upon it in this case. „ou stand at this dar convicted of the crime of murder of a fellow being, and it is incumbent on me to pronounce sentence on you. ou have hada fair and impartial trial, and you have been defended by counsel, whose seal and devotion in your behalf merit the highest praise and compel the ad- miration of the Court, 1 donot think that Loan fairly be sub- jected to thecriticism that Idid not allow you the widest latitude in the presentation of evidence that in any way tended to establish the defense made for vou, ang you were given the benefits of all presumptions which the law says you are entitled to have, „Despite all this you have been found lity in aceordance with the well. estab- fisned principles of law and evidence gov- erning trials of this kin **Possi .— community putation of this , hich the eyes of the world ‘ he riveted, have been com- forted it the verdict ot the jury nad estab- us ned . — yoes act was that of a m pa ep ot . 2 but the result of trial denies people that comfort. . 2 Rees not establish that you an insand delusion which impelled you to the commission which 105 did ot discern to, be over *. ie not the * sos 5 oner moved forward a step or two and then Said: dia not wish to apologize to the Court, for I think I did my duty. As he concluded he was. led away to his cell in the jail by the bailiffs. During the course of his remarks Prender- gast was ap ma nervous con- dition. is hamde shook and as he occasion- ally turfed his eyes from the Court and glared about the room, it was evident his nerves were strung to the highest tension. Occasionally he would stop to glance at the paper in his hand to read the notes or points on his address, which he had evidently pre- pared in advance. Just before Judge Brentano began the de- livery of his speech denying the motion for new trial, Attorney Gregory fileda motion in arrest of judgment, which was overruled. He then asked for thirty days in which to fle a bill of exceptions upon which to take the case to the Supreme Court. This was granted. Prendergast was sentenced to hang subse- quently in less than thirty days. It was stated, however, that if it became necessary the court could extend the time and fix anew Cate tor the execution. It is probable that he bill ot exceptions will be filed within teu ays. MAY HANG AT THE SAME TIME. „Buff“ Higgins is under sentence of death for the murder of Peter McCoy,and the date of his hanging is the same as that of Prender- gast. Ifa stay of proceedings is not ordered the men will be hanged at the same time. During his speech Prendergast mumbled his words so that he could scarcely be under- stood, and he was unsteady on his feet and swerved from side to side likea drunken man. His voice was sometimes loud and clear, but often it sank to an inarticulate grumble. Judge Brentano was much affected by the awful duty imposed on him, and he seemed to suffer much mental pain while Prendergast was delivering his speech. Only by great effort did he retain sufficient control of his voice to utter the solemn words put in his mouth by the law, and it was with trembling voice he finished his address to the con- demned. When the condemned man was taken back to the jail he lost control of himself and fly- ing into a passion broke out ina wild tirade against the court, attorneys, jailors and the press. At last, completely exhausted, he re- lapsed into sullen silence, and ge ay him- selfon hiscot refused to touch the dinner brought to him, and would speak to no one. NUNS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Four Sisters of Mercy to Be. Employed as Teachers in Pitisburg. PITTSBURG, Pa., Feb. 24.—One week from next Monday four Sisters of Mercy will be elected teachers in the Thirty-third Ward Public School. Eight nuns have just passed the examination required by the State laws. and from these the four new teachers will be selected by the Catholic. majority of the School Board in a district which 18 overwhelmingly Catholic, This condition is possible in but four of the wards in Pitts- burg, and the American Protective Associa- tion, the Junior Order of American Mechan- ics and other orders are expected to raise a protest, although the nature of the oppost- tion has not yet been determined upon. The Thirty-third Ward school contains nine large recitation rooms and a few years ago they were all occupied, now five aré vacant. The decline in attendance is due to the growth of the parochial school, a few blocks away. There are over 3800 pupils in the latter and its accommodations are so severely tested that the Catholic residents of the ward have been anxious to get the use of the vacant rooms inthe public school, in which to install the nuns and parochial pupils. Opposition to this led toanapplication to have the nuns ex- amined and admitted as regular teachers in the public school. The demand was granted about three years ago, but after being under examination for two days, the nuns withdrew, It was generally believed the test was too severe, But the parochial school kept growing and the attendance atthe public school contin- ued to decline until last fall, wnen applica- tion for another examination was madeto City Superintendent Luckey, The represent. ativesof the patriotic orders made such a protest that he found it advisable to write to State Superintend- ent Schaefer for instructions. The latter replied that the examinations coulda not be refused, provided the applicants gave their worldly and not their church names. The examinations began on Feb. 6 and ended last Monday. Eleven nuns presented them- selves. Three dropped out after the second day. Unless the opposition has discovered some flaw in the State law, the general opinion isthat it must content itself with mass meetings and newspaper interviews. The election of a Catholic priest as principal of a ward public school here and the renting of the unused portion of the public school dullding of another ward for parochial pur- poses raised a storm of indignation, but there was no legal action taken. AS KINGS HUNT. Two Railway Magnates Prepare to Slaugb - ter Big Game in Royal Style. New Tonk, Fed. 24.—Geo. J. Gould is now in the wilds of the Southeast on a hunt for antelope and deer. He left the city last Sat- urday very quietly. He left Jersey City in his private car. A few intimate friends ac- companied him. He took with him 4,000 empty and loaded cartridges, This supply of ammunition is taken as an indication that the trip is to be an extended one or that the great financier hopes to be unusuaily successful in the capture of big game. He took seven fine guns, three of the finest pointer dogs that ever daited through un- derbrush were also a part of the outfit. The Atalanta went direct to El Paso and thence ‘to Albuquerque, in New Mexico, where at last advices the party were preparing for an invasion of the country northwest of Colo rado City. Great game abounds there and reports say that it has been unusually plen- tiful this year. Another greater raflroad magnate left this week ona shooting trip. Austin Corbin has in the vicinity of his place at Newport, N. „„ an immenseijgame preserve, which he calls Blue Mountain Forest Park. There are 26,000 acres in all. It is handsomely inclosed by a barbed wire fence and stocked with everything from a buffalotoarabbit. There are nowon the preserve about 400 deer, 400 elk, 50 antelope, 25 reindeer, 60 mouse, 250 wild boars and the buffalo. The park is now an ideal hunting resort such as r. Corbin never dreamed when he started his first preserve of 150 acres at Babylon, N. V., some yearsago. Mr. Corbin a few days ago decided to goto New — shire for a Yew weeks shooting trip.

ENDED IN MARRIAGE, Not as Gossips and Mrs. Grundy Said It Would. Written for the SUNDAY PostT-DISPATCH. Violet had always been of a romantic dispo- sition. Perhaps it was the effect of her name. Sheused to feel bitterly aggrieved with fate because her eyes were Drown in- stead of blue or blue-gray or Dlue-black. But she religiously trained her brown orbs to look as melting as if they had been blue; she parted her hair in the middle and let a few curls—put up over night—escape about her forehead. She was devoted to white muslin gowns and simplicity in general. Violet was given to the keeping of sou- vonlrs. She had awhole scrapbook full of dance-cards, menus, german favors, pressed flowers, scraps of poems and the like. And— for there was a methodical streak in her na- ture—there were a few words written be- neath, ‘‘Souvenir, for the assistance of faulty memory. For instance beneath a carefully pressed and mounted white rose was the inscription: June 9, 83; High School graduation; from bunch given by Will L. M. Gave him one back. And beneatha bit of biue ribbon were the inspiring words: Worn dy meat picnic, Sept. 11, 883. Jack has a plece, too. It may be added that Vigilet neveropened the book of souvenirs save gor the purpose of adding another to bor ebllectioa and cata- loguing it neatly. , Violet was 26 and stillasweetly sentimental person when Horace Vanderhoff and his uncle came within her elrele of acquaint- ances. It was rumored that Horace would inherit bis uncle’s fortune eventually. He was a rather impulsive, somewhat poetic youth. He had written sonnets, it was said. He looked like Goethe at any rate, and hada proper scorn of conventions, a fondness for moonlight rambles and a iiking for the woods and sea. And Violet’s friends said: ‘*At last., with great meaning when they saw Horace’s infatuation for Violet. He wrote her verses (all ef which were duly entered in the souvenir book) and Violet read them with an unwonted little thrill in her sentimental heart, and an unusual soft- ness in her brown eyes. He Drought her flowers—not the hot-house blooms of conven- tion—but little shy things that grew in the woods, and that should mean to her that even his walks were fullof thoughts of her. His uncle sent occasional bunches of what. ever costly blossoms struck his eye down- town, and all Violet’s friends said it was pleasant of his uncle to help Horace’s suit on, but that Horace understood Violet’s ro- mantic temperament better. Horace brought Violet his favorite books to read, and some- times shetried to. When she didn’t have time, she merely looked unutterable things and Degged him not to mind it she couldn't say much about them; she could never s peak fluently of what affected her deeply. It was one day when Horace had seen her taking her mission Sunday school class off to look at pictures or something of the sort that he told her he had something to say to her. He looked a little white as he made the an- nouncement, and Violet paled a little, too. As usual, she was very sweet to behold. The children had enjoyed theirday and had ad- mired her, which gave her a deeper pleasure in herself than usual, and, therefore, a more entrancing look. But when she saw that load on Horace’s face a sudden and quite uncommon feeling struck her. She said, hastily: Please say any - 201 thing. „I must, answered Horace, huskily. can not go on this way any longer. Whenl see you, sweet and high-minded and honest as the day’’—— No, no, you must not.“ protested Vio- let. Pity for him anda strong, hitherto un- felt desire to be sincere made her goon. 1 am notthosethings. I am afraid I Know what you are going to say.

Before he wentaway he asked for a flower from her belt with as mucn earnest- ness asifthe announcement had not been made. And Violet gave it graciously enough. But she made no entries in her souvenir book that night. Philosophy From Foggy Bottom.

Chr: - tian ministerg also incline favorabiy o many — tenets of Theosophy. A eonsiilerabie number of divines are members of the society, and in various churches the doctrine of reincar- nation is now being made the subject of ser- mons. Theosophists are hopeful that it will not ba long before the whole Christiaan world em accept the idea of rebirth, as it is claimed the doctrine is to be found inthe Bible. In St. John, 19, 1, there is a passage which reads: And his disciples asked him, sayin i Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?“ Thisis regarded as France Is Worried Over the Progress We Are Making. Mr. Samuel E. Morss, Consul-General at Paris, has sent to the State Department the following translation of an article from Figaro, which indicates that France is watch- ing witha good deal wf concern the progress which the art industries of this country are making: | Mr. Victor Champier, who, upon the oc- casion of the Exposition at Chicago, was charged by the Minister of Public Instruction and the Fine Arts to make a personal investi gation intothe condition of the industrial arts and the organization of schools of art in the United States, has returned to Paris. He brings from his visit to the principal cities of the United States numerous documents of the most lively interest from the point of view of French art indus- tries. He visited most of the industrial schools which ding the last ten years have been estabiished with incredible activity in all parts of the United States by virtue of the generosity of a multitude of donors. Millions of dollars have been provided for the estab- lishment of these schools by wealthy Amer- ican manufacturers and amateurs, who are making acolossal effort to create in their country a current of original art, so that they may speedily surpass the productions im- ported from Europe and rival French taste. Already there are in America per ge in which proxress has deen attained wi a rapidity really ominous for the future of the French market. In gold and sliver ware, in jewelry and in plate glass the American art- ists have exhibited areal originality anda perfection of workmanship which is not ex- ceeded by our best fabricants. In wall paper, in woodwork, in furniture they pro- duce novel effects, due to the very ingenious processess which they have invented. Wrought iron is with the American very much used, and they excel in ail articles in production of which both manual labor and machinery are employed. Terra cotta has had during the last ve orsix years an ex- traordinary development among them, and itis of this material that most of the ex- ternal ornaments of their buildings are com- by the disciples, for how could the man dave merited dlindness at birth for sins of his own unless he had lived before? Then there is the case of John the Baptist, whom Jesus de- clared to be the incarnation of Elias. The people ane been expecting Elias, and in an- ; swer to unto you, Elias has come already, and : knew him not. ei. In many other passages Theosophists see ~— evidence of the belief in Jesus in this do- trine, and itis explained that the reasonig ; was not more specifically referred 3 3 was because rebirth was generally 3 in in those days. f himself said, was to reform the Jews ( come but to bring back into the fold the cepted the idea. An evidence of this is to be. found in the great Jewish Talmud, wh it is recorded that a certain rabbi denoun a fellow rabbi for preaching reincarnation and ata conference of the chief rabbis the doctrine was sustained and the rabbi was ordered to apologize. In this connection itig interesting to observe that the early Chris- tian fathers taught this doctrine. In the writings of Fr. Origen and others it is plainly expounded. The doctrine disappeared from the Christian Church inthe year 535 A. U. when, at the Convention of Constantino the despotic monks laid it aside and su tuted the dogmas of eternai damnation and eternal heaven. These are historical facts, easily verified, and therefore must not de ro- rded as ories. If it ind be true that rebirth is the law, what a feld of grand possibilities it opens up forman! It makes of him notacitizen of a town, a country ora planet, but a citizen of the whole universe. It does not bind him down to membegsnip in one family, but makes all versal family. It does not limit man — short life in which in spite of adverse sed. ur. Victor Champier has studied the pro- duction in various departments of industrial art in America with especial care, because it is a very serious matter from tbe point of view of French interests. Indeed, in order to retain the markets which our artistic roducts have until the present time so argely found in the New World, is it not urgent that France shall make efforts com- mensurate with those of her American com- titors? It is certain that we have much to Se ifwe do not wish at our next universal exposition in 1900 jto be distanced in more than one point. French fabricants, take notice. A number of chambers of commerce, nota- bly that of Lyons, requested Mr. Victor Champler to supplement the interesting mis- sion with which he was charged by the French Government by making s re- ports on technical subjects. Mr. Ohampier encountered every where—at New York as at ut Philadeiphia, at Boston as at Chicago, in the industrial centers of Cincinnati, of Pittsburg of Baltimore, of Providence, of Paterson, of | Yonkers, and of Grand Rapids—a most cour- teous and flattering welcome, ‘*We owe to France all that we have accomp ping the artists to him; “it is tue least we'can do to open freely to you the doors of our work - E shops. meee the numerous specimens of Amer- ican art work brought by Mr. Champier, we may mention curious =o of * cei fragments of Kaolin from 0 as ite re as those of Limoges; also some ve peautiful vases, the products of Rook Ali these objects have been museum of the Sevres manufa but gives him all eternity in which to make 1 my Av 4 — infinite 3 Rg ss 9 0 on urged agains s that we do not — bee that “We have tee eS ré,and that therefore itig improbable ~~ The answer of the Theos. memory of — 2 is a im th out.

Daudet’s creation of Tartarin of Taras- con’’ isan original and droll character and in transferring him to the stage Mr. Mac- donough is said to have bullt around bim a riant story with anusing situations and lyrics of genuine poetic merit. The story of the opera of ‘‘The Algerian’’ opens with a landing place at Algiers, and with a boat song on which the curtain rises. Prince Gregory, President of the Society for the Preservation of the Picturesque East, and sadly in need of funds, conceives the_jdea of founding a mock harem of which the mem- ‘bers ofa stranded opera eompany shall be the inmates. Fora consideration he allows tourists a fleeting glimpse of these houries and sends them back to their respective countries filled with assurance ofthe poetry ofthe East. As guardian ofthe harem, the members of which are supposed widows ofa certain spurious Muley Abdallah, Mitaine, the proprietor of a late mastodon menagerie, is placed in charge. The fact that his show consisted ofan oid and decrepit lion is sup- posed to have fitted him to cope with emergencies. His office isto frighten away curious and presumptaous intruders. Celeste, Countess de Monvel, herself formerly an opera singer, comes, on the death of her husband, to Algiers in search of her former lover, Col. Paul La Grange, Commander at the Fort during his superior’s absence. Meeting the members of the masquerading opera company, who prove to be former colleagues, Celeste learns that herlover has been flirting with one of them,known for the moment as Baya. Personating Baya, Celeste meets her lover, and complications ensue which are made still more inextricable be- cause of the fact that the real Baya is be- loved by Tartarin. The various contretemps are satisfactorily straightened in the last act. In the music of The Algerian,’’ which is Caintily colored and more imaginative than anything that Mr. De Koven has yet essayed, he again demonstrates his facility in tne matter of —— of composition; from the commencem ofthe overture he intro- duces Oriental phrasing in his music, and many of the numbers are resplendent and rich in their Oriental treatment. All are de- cidedly characteristic of far away East- ern land, in which country the action of the f Thec mpeby presentin „The Algerian’’ 0 is one of the most evenly ced organiza- ticns presenting r to-day.

Warner is a. love-maker from Loveville, as the saying goes. The object of his affections is Mar- garet, the daughter of Edwin Knowlton, the proprietor of the Knowlton Iron-works. She spurns him at first haughtily and informs him that the difference between their sta- tions in life makes it an impertinence on his part to ask or hope for a return of his love; and then she turns to another and wealthier suitor and accepts him. Reuben ascertains by aceident that the property whose income keeps Margaretin pampered luxury belongs to him, but his love for the girl seals his lips. The sacrifice he makes is richly rewarded later on when Margaret, who has learned his true worth and the honesty and earnestness of his manhood, offers him her heart and hand with a love that is all the purer and stronger because it has been refined and chastened in the fire of experience. This beautiful heart story has a splendid setting. Around it are fixed thrilling incidents ofa big strike in the Knowlton Iron-works. The superintendent is the champion of the men;a strike follows and violence is threat- ened. Atthis particular period the history ofa sto'ien invention comes out; the young superintendent is vindicated; the engage- ment made atthe beginning is broken and the girl makes amends to her former rejected lover by confessing her love for him. The second act of ‘*The Lost Paradise’’ shows an iron foundry in full swing, and it is every- where confessed as being one of the most ef- fective stage pictures ever seen on the stage. The play will have the benefit of a cast of un- usuai excellence, embracing such competent people as Forrest Robinson, Mabel Bert, Uhas.W.Stokes, Frank Dayton, Prince Lloyd, H. A. Morey, James Rickards, Lawrence Ed- dinger, S. 8. Wiltsie, James H. Cody, Walter Perkins, J. F. Marsh, Walter Wilder, Vir- ginia Marlowe, Ettie Morris, Arline Athens, Fanny Cohen, Laura Linden, Genevieve Rollo. AT HAVLIN’S. „She,“ A. . Pearson’s Dig production, will commence at Havlin’s with matinee to- day. The world-famous romance of Rider Hag.- gard is too weil known tojneed much outline of plot, but it may be sald that the book is closely followed, and, although at times it 1s somewhat weird, thera is a Clever vein of comedy interwoven through the whole which not only pleases but relieves the monotony. For scenery and scenic effects the author’s ideasjhave been thoroughly studied and care lly supplied. The last act, where Ayesha steps into the mysterious fre and is reduced from a beautiful woman tothe hideous con- dition of a mummy, produces a sensation to be long remembered. Ethel Raynes, who plays the part of she, is an actress of sterling qualities, of fine physi ue and handsome face. Sheis well calculated to portray the character of the heartiess queen. Miss Maud Durand as Ustane does equally well, it 1s said. The rest of the cast, including Edwin Brown as Kalikrates, Fred Summerfield as Holly and William Lee as the good father, are all up to the standard, and are strong in their respective roles. AT THE STANDARD, **Peck’s Bad Boy’’ will be the attraction at this theater this week, commencing with a matinee to-day and including the regular Tuesday and Friday matinees. The company and play are m uch stronger than when here last season, and there is a grea cite laughter.

Miss Leila Wolstan, grand- daughter of the once widely-known Capt. Yore of this city, is said to have won flatter- ing laurels in her support of Walker White- side during the latter’s four weeks’ engage- ment in Chicago, just closed. The reper- toire was in the legitimate, and Miss Wolstan is reported as having made an especial hit inthe role of Portia in The Merchant of Venice.’’ 8 * Another St. Louis girl who may be men- tioned in this connection is Miss Dorothy Morton, who is here with The Algerian’’ company this week. Miss Morton issaid to have made marked improvement in the past season, and her work in The Algerian’’ is well spoken of.

She had ambition above cute characters, She had grown tired of throwing herself face down on sofas, curling into chair corners, tangling her red-gol@hair about her faceand looking sweetly roguish throughitall. Few women had ever done this so well, but you can understand how even the most successful doing of it would pall on a woman conscious of greater power. rs. Fiske has demonstrated the possession of greater power. She tried authorship in periods of leisure, and produced with Paul Kester Countess Roudine,’’ which Modjeska played, and also a pretty one-act, ‘‘Rose,’ which Felix Morrisis playing. With her husband Mrs. Fiske wrote ‘‘Esther Crewe’’ and put it on in Boston abouta year ago. It was not seen here for the reason,I am told, that Boston pronounced it too dreary, too domestic.

In the details of county government he was most prosaically energetic in the last of his days, and in his:85th year this sor-in- law of ‘‘Childe Harold,’’ who had himself painted in Greek costume after Lord Byron as a crusader went out among the down - trodden Greeks to free them—and die among them—was elected an Alderman of the county, and frequently traveled all night in order toattend important meetings. The trouble between Lord and Lady Byron had already begun when Ada, The child of love—th And nurtured in — ane made her appearance in this world, Dec, 10, 1815. Augusta Ada was her full name, the former being givea tn honor of her aunt and godmother, the Hon. Mrs. Leigh, She seems to have been the only link in the very slight chain that hela Byron to his wife. But even that soon snapped. Once in a while after Byron’s desertion of Ada’s mother he would write to the mother of the child to make inquiries after the little girl. There is no doubt that Byron’s heart went out towards Ada, andthat he longed to hear from her, even though he could not see her.

Augusta asked the questions and Lady Byron answered them. Seventy years ago Friday Byron wrote to his sister Augusta, commenting upon an ac- count of Ada that Lady Byron’s letter had given. ‘‘I think it right,’’ he tells her, that Lady B. should be informed (and guard * it accordingly) that her description of much of her (Ada’s) disposition and ten- dencies very nearly resemble that of my own at a similar age, except that I was much more impetuous. Her preference of prose (strange as it may appear) was, and, indeed, is, mine, for I hate reading verse, and always did.“ Iwo months later Byron was dead. There is not much known of Ada. She does not seem to have shown any of her father’s literary genius, nor her mother’s pecullart- ties of temper. Whenshe was oid enough she married Lord Lovelace, who was five years her senior, and whose death brings these things again to mind after all these years, Although very little is known of Lord Love- lace in this country, he was a man of no or- dinary ability, and seems to have had his distinguished father-in-law’s passion for Greece. He took the gold medal for oratory at Cambridge, and entered upon pubiic life as soon as heleft college, when he was ap- pointed Secretary of the lonian Islands Com- mission, ot which Lord Nugent was the head. For his services la connection with this com- mission Mr. King-Noel, who had succeeded his fatherasthe eighth Baron King in 1833, was created Viscount Ockham and Eariof Lovelace in 1838. Lord Lovelace was a man of many attain- ments. He was equally interested in archi- tecture, forestry, engineering and practical local government, and in uis early days he had given much attention to Oriental re- search, had traveled up the Nile at a time when such an expedition was uncommon for Huropeans, had a fluent command of modern Greek, and knew intimately men like mehemet All, who played a notable part in Eastern affairs. Whenacommoner he had sat in Parliament for Knaresborough, then a pocket borough, and the year following his elevation to the peerage he moved the ad- dress in the House of Lords, where he be- came a strong advocate of the repeal of the corn laws. . Lord Lovelace’s interest In science was very varied. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society and received the Telford silver medal from the Institute of Civil Engineers and a diploma from the Society of Otvil Engineers in France. As a practical architect he had marked taste and originality and he de- lighted in bridge-bullding and road-making He was descended from Scawen Blunt.

White chiffon handkerchiefs are also visible ust now, with artistic borders embroidered n delicately colored silks. The latest fine linen handkerchiefs have just a line of color about the borders; others, all white, have an embrotdered, medium-sized white initial in the corner. While kid boxes, with painted violets, buttercups or bachelor buttons scat- tered over the cover and then filled with half a dozen dainty handkerchiefs make a charm- ingand most acceptable present for one’s particular girl friend.

Its purpose is beauty, and it offers the proper relief forthe exquisite coloring, artistic skill and matchless bril. liancy of diamond ana gem jewelry. People who have the taste to appretiate the value of fine ornaments never misise them. In jewelry, as in every other manufacture, the demand is for something new. Dia- monds and gems are lixe gold and silver, Staples of trade, but originality of cutting and setting stones, bigh-class gold work and enamel, and the artistic blending of the three into perfect jewelry, isa fine art, for which there is always a ready market. An tiques, such as Oriental ornaments o. beaten and jeweled gold. miniatures histori- cally accurate, fine Cameos and corals and veritable intaglios and scarabacir engraved on swords, bloodstones and other gens have their revivals, but there are always buyers for novelties. : Taste in jewelry is like taste in any other art work—the result of education. People who Know fine painting are intolerant of bad work, and people who have once owned a good stone ora pretty pféce of gold work are never satisfied with cheap ornaments. A good stone usually holds its own, although settings fluctuate; the designs that were fashionabie one year might not be salable the next. But people get attached to jewelry from association, and in selecting from the artists preference is given to those that are a toilet for the New Styles in Diamond Ornaments, likely to last notin material, but beauty. A brooch is worn out whenthe wearer gets tired of it. If there is a stone it can de re- mounted; if not, something new Is required. One of the best lines of brooches, because oftheir favor, isin flower work. The style began with purple violets, made plain and with a solitaire dia mond, of the wild and cul- tivated variety and in natural sizes. Fora while it seemed as though everybody was buying violet brooches, That was a great mistake, for while the pins are pretty and the flower is deservedly cherished, the color is not becomingtoall. Thisled to the white violet and the black one for mourning. Violet pins would scarcely be considered the best selection for general wear; the de- sign is delicate and naturally suggests a deli. cate tollet, Furthermore, it is improved by a diamond, ifonlya chip, which would re- serve the ornament for indoor or evening wear. However, there is nothing more po- etic than a flower brooch. Other designs in the same line are three-leaf clover, wild rose, daisy, eidelweis, orange blossom, orchids and cape jasemin. Ladies buy these oods and have them made to order for very ove of the flower. Orchids are also used for corsage and drapery pins. One design that never loses its popularity isthe heart; itiis always fashionable. Per- haps the most effective is the open heart, made in whole pearis, diamonds and rubies or Gdlamonds and saphires.

I have always differéd from Mr. James Owen O' connor and the Count Johannes ro- garding the cause of the terrible mortal! in the last act of Hamlet, apd I donot want at this date to get into a long wordy war with Euripides or his folks, who might be sensitive. In conclusion, Mr. Curley, let me say that Iam ready at any time to write out a thesis or an exhaustive treatise on almost any- thing for those who do not feel like it. Alll ask is that you win make allowances for the fact that my opinions when 1,800 miles from my library are purely of hand and may err at times. You are right in attributing the Queen's death to weakness. Weakness and lack of strength together carry off many of our best Queens, I think. Regarding the madness of Hamlet, I agree with Mr. O’Connor that it was only tempo- rary, and in Mr. O’Connor’s own conception of the part I think it was caused especially in Peoria by the fact that twenty-seven great coarse boys brought in a pair of froven rab- bits aplece and threw them with unerring skillata soliloguy which Hamlet was trying to free himself of. If that would not make Hamlet mad, I don’t know what would. Still, as I say, without my library I am not sure of anything. „Speaking of being entertained while trav- eling and lecturing over the country. re- marked Bret Harte to me a few weeks ago, J do not murmur or repine because this matter is not always managed successfully, but Iremember some cases when I look over my glorious past where I should have known better than to aecept from strangers the hospitalities which really gave me a pang. **Once I received a letter from a man who had been a ‘constant reader’ and who wanted me to make his house my home, and all that sort of thing—no airs, no scallops, but just a glad contrast to hotel life. I was to be at his town in a few days, and so in an unguarded moment Iaccepted. I used to ac- cept everything in those days—everything that was not tied down too hard. „Well, the man met meat the depot ana we walked through a keen, frosty air to his house in Muggins’ addition. I was tired and wanted to lie down and be at rest, for I had satupall day in a hot coach, and every nerve in me tingled, but people began to drop in to greet me and dine at the house, so I could not do so. My room was very neat, but the shams hurt my ears so that I could not get to sleep till it was time to go dowfi to dinner. The first course was to be stewed oysters, so I wastold by one of the children when I firstcame. It turned out to be true. The host dished them out with a teacup into deep quart bowls, and trying to keep up a run of persifiage while serving the thing he ran out of stew before he had gone half way round. So he attacked his wife for more stew, but there was no more. ***All right,’ he said, ‘just give me back your bowls, and we'll have a new deal.’ Those were his very words. We gave him back our cooling stew, and he poured the whole thing Dack again. Then we had a new deal. never saw suchacheerful ass as that man in my life. His carving was just as bright and unconventional. ‘Oh, we take it farmer fashion here,’ says he, and with that he cut out a hinge of beef-steak for me, squirted the gravy into the preacher’s ear and just missed stabbing the carving Knife into the hired girl as she passed by. Her corset saved her life. „Oh, he was the very worst Jever saw. What ever put it into his head to entertain people I don't know. Hekept the tenderloin himself and kicked at one of the children under the table with such vigor that he missed the child and injured both his own leg and that of the table. He was the man who found outthat a wa- termelon could be flavored with most any- thing while growing by introducing the fluid flavor through the growing stem, and then got out a patent for inoculating the melon with Jamaica ginger to ward off the eolic. He certainly showed greater possibilities as a claybank ass than most any man I ever saw. **I never made his house my home after that, although he wanted me to dosoand rather insisted on it, offering to let me select from the little boys whiehever one I would rather sleep with.’’ Possibly l am wrong in attributing the above experience to Mr. Harte.

Macon, Mo., Feb, 23.—Hon. Lysander A. Thompson is a prominent attorney here. He has represented Macon County in the State Legislature two terms and is at present a prospective candidate for Congress against Col, Hatch. Mr. Thompson is also en ex- tensive farmer. He possesses more than ordinary ability and is a severe cross-exam- mer. Not long since during a trial of a case down at Shelbyville, he had on the witness stand a good-natured, sturdy farmer, unpretentious, but gifted with plenty of the mother wit. Mr. Thompson wanted the witness to admit that he had ex- pended considerable money and used every means to fight a certain case which had some bearing on the one under trial. Now. Mr. ——,’’ began Mr. T. sternly, you went up there to Macon City to hire a lawyer to prosecute that case?’’ Tes, sir,“ answered the witness, quietly. And you hunted around considefably for one to suit you?’’ with increasing force. Well, no; not much, said the old man, cautiously. Now. I will get you to state—on your oath, mind you—if you didn’t go to Mr. Blank of Macon City and tell him that you wanted to secure the best legal talent the town af- forded? Answer me that, sir!’’ Oh, no, I didn’t;’’ replied the witness, placidly. I told him I wanted to get you!’’ The Court’s efforts to secure order were futile, and a recess was taken. On one occasion Judge Andrew Ellison was trying an important case at Macon City and was desired to rush it through in order to make way foranother case coming up next morning. The Court Instructed the jury and court officials toreturn after supper that night, as it was intended to hold a night ses- sion. At7o’clock all the officers, @umerous witnesses and the jury, with one exception, were promptly on hand. Of course nothing could be done without the absent juryman. The minutes ran into hours and still the prodigal didn’t return. At a late hour court adjourned without having ac- com plished anything. Next morning sharp at 9 o’clock the twelve jurymen were in the box. His honor scanned the crowd and asked for the tryant, He was pointed out and the court ordered him to stand up. „Mr. ——,’’ said the Judge, addressing the derelict; ‘‘didn’t you understand the order of the Court last night requiring the jury to be on hand after supper?“ „Jes, your honor, said the juryman. ex- plaining: but, you see, Ilive quite a ways out of town, and my wife gave me an order prior to the court’s order, and her order was that I shouldn't stay in town over night. 1 considered the matter and concluded it was safer torisk your honor’s displeasure than heren; because, he added earnestly, ‘*l know her!’’ The court looked solemn a moment, as if weighing some mighty problem, then a smile started across his face, and the bar, court officers and spectators broke out in tumult- uous laughter. The juryman was forgiven; there were many there who could, perhaps, appreciate his position. : Judge C. P. Hess, the City Attorney of Macon, is the leading German lawyer of this part of Missouriand has an extensive prac- tice. Sometimes when the Judge is engaged in a hot case. howe ver, he gets so warmed up that things are not much clearer to him than is Chicago River water to its inhabitants. At one term here he ‘‘locked horns’’ in a cer- tain case with Capt. Ben Eli Guthrie, the Assistant General Solicitor of the A., T. & S. F. Rallroad in this State. The Captain is some- thing of an enthusiast himself when crowded, and won't let anybody ‘‘tread on the tall of his coat’’ without hitting back. The case in question was a ‘‘battle for blood, and objections, exceptions and rulings flew so fast thatthe jury was bewil- dered. Capt. Guthrie was trying to examme the witness. Judge Hess had just objected to a question asked, and Capt. Guthrie fired another question at the witness. Hess again shouted, I object!’’ Then Capt. Guthrie objected to sumething the witness insisted on telling. The Court overruled the latter ob- jection, which, of course, was in Hess’ favor, but he didn’t understand it. ‘*Yer honor,’’ he said excitedly, ‘*I objeck to dot roollug, und, af et blease der kourt, I vould like to zite sum goot autoridys on dot subjeck. I haf a kart load of dem, ef it please der kourt, und I vould’’— „Judge Hess, said the Court, will you walt a minute?“ But, yer honor,’’ he said, getting warmer and warmer, you vas ondirely wrong on dot rooling. I haf konzulted zum af der most imminent audoridys on dot identercal boint, vich der Kourt oaght better konsider. und, pesides, may it blease der Kourt, I haf yer honor’sown rooling in aZzimilar case, vich I vill proof to you in haf a min’’— **Will you stop, or shall 1 nne you?’’ said the Court, firmly. ‘‘Do you Know what the ruling, against which you are protesting so vigorously, was?’’ continued the Judge, The excited attorney remarked that he thought the Court had ruled against him, „dia nothing of the sort,’’ retorted His Honor. It was Capt. Guthrie’s objection which I overruled, and here you are piling up record atthe rate of 250 words a minute, expostulating over a decision rendered in your favor.“ It was several minutes before the barrister could recover from his astonishment, but he finally did, and the balance of the case was tried more smoothly. Ex-State Senator Sears Is one of the pillars ofthe Baptist Church. In grace, style and dignity he is Chesterfeldian toa fault. But when he goes into a law fight he rolls up his sleeves, figuratively, and stays withittoa finish. A while back he was engaged in a case in which the question of the authen- ticity of signatures cameup. Mr. Sears put a witness, a warm personal friend, on the stand to prove that some signatures might beeasily imitated and pass for genuine, and that the fact had deen discussed de- tween them.
