He craved of the owner of the hostelry a specimen of the cheese, that he might convey it to his household, there to be exhibited and taught to them as a lesson in the palatable, and all to the end that large quantities of the cheese might be pur- chased and consumed by them. The good-natured restaurateur gave _ the statesman an entire cheese, wrapped in the usual tinfoil which is its market overcoat. “The Senator blithely received the cheese and stowed it away in the stern- sheets of his dress suit. Then he went home, and hanging his costume in the wardrobe, went to bed. In the morning, with the approaching cares of a tariff day overshadowing any memory of that Limburger, he pulled on his every-day suit and went down to the Senate.

2 . ae - VF Charters Will Be Demanded. ”_—_—__-——————ee f . 4 A-gigantic suit or series.of suits will be: brought against the: St. Louis bridge com- ‘bine and the Terminal Railroad Association at an early date. The plaintiff will be the ufacturers’ Association of St. Louis. Gross violations of law growing out of overcharges on ears consigned to and sent out by St. Louis manufacturers and shippers will form the basis of the litigation. An effort will be made to secure the for-. feiture of the charters of the Terminal Rail- way Association and the Merchants’ Bridge Terminal Co., which have been virtually one corporation: since the consolidation last Au- st. Whether criminal ae will be nstituted against the officers of the two companies cannot be said. ; Evidence is being gathered by a committee of the Manufacturers’ Association, acting in conjunction with the traffic department of the Business Men’s League. Secretary ey L. Cannon of the former and Joseph Leeds, traffic manager of the latter, are the active agents who are securing the proof against the offending corporations. Initial steps are being taken towards pro- ceeding against the two companies in the courts on the extortionate switching tolls charged. This, however, forms but part of the contemplated litigation. As soon as the matter of switching charges is di © the excessive bridge transfer rates will form the basis of another big suit. Then other grievances against this grinding maneary will be taken up in succession and ress demanded in the courts. _ This danger is threatened from an entire- ly unlooked-for quarter. Just now the bridge combine has its hands full. The H- linois Senate Investigating Committee declared the bridge trust guilty ef violat- ing every law governing the corporations composing it, from the Unit stattites to the city ordinances. The Sen- ate indorsed the report and instructed At- torney-General Maloney to proceed against the combine in the courts. He is also in- structed to call upon the United States At- soransy-Geuaral to co-operate with him in the suits. Now with the St. Louls Manufacturers’ Association préparing to bring suit the combine’s cup of sorrow is likely to over- flow. . Evidence that will avail in either ac- tion will fer the most part be admissible in the other suit. In addition to this the coal shippers are after the combine for discrim- inating against them in rates, and the lat- ter is said to be compromising with a num- ber of coal men at high figures in order to avoid litigation from that quarter; — So far the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion has held aloof and has shown no dispo- sition to take up the matter beyond the statement of Chairman W. R. Morrison that “an investigation would be made. Either one of the threatened suits will put the mat- ter in such shape that the Interstate Com- mission will be forced to take the matter up. This would be exceedingly distasteful.to the officials ef the combine, as the interstate law contains a section making discrimina- tion a criminal act and provides a severe nalty. The manufacturers and shippers ave long endured the overcharges of the bridge ang terminal companies through fear of retaliation. against their .businegs, but now that they see a chance to right the wrong they are béginning to come forward and assert themselves. Troubles never come singly, and the club that the bridge and terminal octopus has so.Jlong held over the heads of individual shippers now seems about to be used upon itself. Attention was directed to the exorbitant charges imposed by the terminal roads by the effort to pass Council bill No. 38, now pending before the Railroad Committee of that body, which proposes to give addi- tional privileges to the St. Louis belt line. Maj. Rainwater is engineering the bill. The Manufacturers’ Association stands opposed to some of the provisions of the bill, and a committee composed of Laclede J. Howard, Chairman, T.’P. Plumeridge, L. J. W. Wall J. H. Conrades and Tom L. Cannon, Sec- retary of the association, has been ap- pointed to investigate the matter. The amount of documentary evidence that committeee has been able to learn, where unjuet charges made by the Terminal Rail- road Association, of which the proposed belt. line. is a part, is almost incredible. There is not a single case, so far as the committee has been able to learn, where the minal corporations have complied with the ordinances, There is one case where not one cent of switching charges should have béen made and yet the ship- per was compelled to pay $12 on a single ear. Besides this, there are numerous sim- ilar cases where slightly smaller charges have been assessed. The investigation, although merely in its incipiency, has already revealed the most outrageous embargo ever placed on the commerce of a great manufacturing city. In the light of these developments the Man- ufacturers’ Association stands opposed to the passage of the bill proposed by Maj. Rainwater for the following reasons: There is no provision in the ordinance “as to whether the belt line will go outside of the city limits, and thus get beyond munici- pal control. The term ‘‘reasonable’’ charge for per- mitting roads to enter the city over its tracks is not sufficiently specific, as it leaves the matter entirely with the pro- ged belt line, and gives no protection to the city, to the people, or to any road de- siring to enter the city over that line. ' When the rights of way asked for have been granted it will be very difficult for a new road to enter the city without the con- @ent. of this belt line, and there should be a clause stating the specific charges for roads _ @oming into the city over its tracks. The tearm of five years in which the road allowed to complete its work, ts entirely ong, and should be limited to one year, or allow @ competing company the rights anned for by this company. t is contended that this is an enhtirély new , and it asks on that basis the right to r for switching, for cars is line, or coming to this oads. - The gentlemen urging the passage of the @rdinance are connected with @ other terminal railroads. Messrs, Taussig and : sey, who represent the Terminal Asso- lation, and Maj. Rainwater, who repre- ta the Merchants’ Br'dge, appeared be- pe Council Committee and argued in If of the ordinance creating what pur- to bem new competing line, connect- with their lines.

ItIs Said They Are Superseding the Franciscans There. Special to The Pust-Dispatch. MEXICO CITY, June 15,~-The increasing inuence of the Jesuits here is attracting at- tention in religious circles.. The earliest missionaries in this country were Francis- cans, ahd this order has the enthusiastic adhesion and support of a great majority of the Mexican people. Recently the Jesuits secured ‘possession of the Church of Sen Francisco, which had passed into Protest- ant hands. The Franciseans urged that the church, which before confiscation under Juarez had been the property ef their or- der, should on its restoration to the Cath- olies revert to them, but the Jesuits were more enterprising and had obtained the money to buy the church. , The Jesuits now have the churches of San FPranciseo, Jesu Maria, San Hiplit and Santa Brigida among the great and fashionable churches to which, by the ability of their pulpit ora- tors, they are attracting large congrega- tions of wealthy people. There has al- ways been a strong undércurrent. of opp - sition here among Catholics to the Jesuits, and their increasing influence in these times is arousing ancient animosities. Peo- ple who side with the Franciscans assert that the Spanish Jesuits haye entered on a regular campaign to gain control in ec- clesiastical affairs here. The Jesuits sent trusted agents into this country eight years ago, but their reports were unfavorable on account of Archbishop Labastida, who was hostile to them. The present Arch- bishop, a much-venerated prelate, is appa- rently more friendly to them. e Govern- ment will maintain an attitude.of imparti- ality as long as the cler de nothing in violation of the famous reform laws, which define rigidly the relations of church and state. Catholics opposed to the Jesuits assert that the latter are gaining a prepon- derating influence socially and will in a few years control ecclesiastical affairs in this eguntry.

He has also gravitated along the borders of the grande monde, although the legal action taken by him last year against the son of Prince De Sagan, showed that he found its exigencies rather more unreasonable than the others. He has always been a great favorite of Parisians, who appreciate his least doings. But now he has fairly won their hearts. As he is doirig his year of military service like any other young Frenchman, he is sup- posed to be languishing far from Paris in the barracks of some dull garrison town. This did not prevent his turning up last Sunday in time to buy the dangerous Car- loman from its German owner for 35,000 francs, with the engagement to give half as much again if he won the race.

Members and Handseme _* Prizes Hung Up for Racers. ; } 7 ; _ The date of the tenth anhual meet of the Missouri Division, L. A. W., at Shelbina, is fast approaching, and it behooves club * members, as Well as the unattached, to be- in making arrangements to attend. In- erest in this affair is steadily increasing, and Secretary Jewett of. the Shelbina club is in rece‘pt of many inquiries concerning the meet from parties in and outside of the south. . The entries for the handicap and class events close June 27, and the others on July 1. The official meet programme will be mailed to all L. A. W. members on Mon- _day morning. A one-mile State record race will probably be added to the programme this week, for which rich prizes will be hung up for the winners, provided that the time made breaks the existing mile State record, or if it is the fastest time made on July 4. The list of races will then embrace eleven events, as follows: One-mile’ novice, class A; one-half mile open, ‘class B; one mile Missouri Division championship, class A; two-mile german > class A; one-mile open, class B; one-mile 2:40, class A; two-mile lap race, class B; five-mile handicap, class A; two-mile handi- cap, class B; one-half mile for boys; one- mile Northeast Missouri championship; one- mile State record, class B. The prizes are without exception as valu- able as any offered anywhere this year, and the Shelbina Cycling Club guarantees that there is no inflation in the advertised values Three prizes are hung up for almost every event, and the clubs that are participants in the annual parade are also well looked after in this respect. A great deal of interest centers in the Missouri Division mile championship. race. The gold medal offered for this race is solid, fourteen karat, fine and unusually heavy. The pendant is a circular one, with a wreath and wheel in green gold, all very finely engraved. The diamonds offered as prizes were carefully selected, and finer stones with daintier settings would be hard to find. The gold medal for the novice race is a very neat one. The pendant has a raised border with a wheel in plain gold. The official meet badge, which will be furnished only to L. A. W. members or to those who apply for membership, will be a handsome souvenir of the meet. It con- sists of a sterling silver pin, with the ribbon / in blue ands white. To this is attached a endant somewhat larger than a silver dol- ar. On one side of this pendant is the League monogram and the letters L. A. W. On the opposite side three cyclists in rac- ing costumes. The ribbon bears the words “LL. A. W. State meet, Shelbina, Mo., July 8 and 4, and it admits the wearer to the race track, the entertainments, and is, in fact, an “‘open sesame’”’ to all the festivi- ties. The attendance from St. Louis, it is esti- mated, will be , and Kansas City will have nearly eighty men on hand. A spe- cial baggage and chair car will be placed at the cyclists’ disposal by the Burlington route, arid will remain at Shelbina until the conclusion of the meet. The railroad rate for the round trip is $4.50. Headquarters will be established at the Waverly Hotel, where Secretary Butler will open an of- fice two days prior to the meet to accept applications for membership. The race track is a half-mile oval, sixty feet wide on the turns, and eighty feet in width on the home stretch. It is without a hill, and the infield is a pretty stretch of green. The track is ample to accommodate the tremendous field of starters who are expected: The entry fee is fixed at $1 for the first and 60 cents for each additional event, and cash must accompany all entries to insure recognition. Entry blanks can be obtained at all the cycling clubs and agencies. Shelbina is within easy distance of St. Louis, and this, coupled with low rate of fare, will induce many wheelmen to at- tend. the meet for the first time. Bach club is requested to bring its club banner and to. carry same in the parade. Club captains are particularly requested to see that this is attended to. : OLDEST CYCLIST. Capt. Charles H. Tyler Lays Claim to the Title of Senior. Capt. Charles Horace Tyler, the retired river captain and manufacturer, aged 63 years, has the honor of being the oldest person operating a bicycle in this city. He rides from three to twenty miles daily and says he enjoys the sport the same as he did skiff riding when a boy. Until re- cently the Captain was an opponent of the strongest type of the wheel, and was not backward in telling his friends among the .younger generation about it. This may account for the fact that he never leaves his mansion, No. 4006 Lindell boulevard, on his wheel, except after dusk and before the sun has risen high in the heavens in the morning. A few of the Captain’s most intimate friends, among them Attorney J. M. Suther- land, it is understood, have been urging him to tuke part in some local bicycle event, but his retiring disposition has kept him from entering. Capt. Tyler was born Frankfort, Ky., Until his 16th yéar he lived upon farm, . At that age he started his career merchant in Louisville, continuing the ae afterward in St. Louis, where he es- ned the house of Whedon & Tyler. ang the war he operated a steamboat, in cotton...

Laing, Secretary of the Forest Park Road Race Association, shows the place winners in the recent road race, the clubs to which they belong, the handicaps, the wheels and tires ridden, the position on each lap and the prizes won. It is a concise history of the race. The first time prize, the Post-Dispatch diamond medal, was won by W. W. m- iltton of Denver, Colo., who also got nine- teenth place. Tracey Holmes was the win- ner of the second time prize, a gold brick, and he was twentieth in the place prizes. Ed Grath received the diamond stud for third time prise, being just without the place prize list.

Johnson, the professional racing men, at the lL. A. » national meet are not encouraging, the Asbury Park Wheelmen, under whose auspices the meet will be held, are arranging some attractive amateur events for the meeting. The champéonship races will bring to- gether all the crack racing men from all sections of the country, and as the ath- letic club track is being prepared for the meet, there is every reason to believe that new records will be created. The earliness of the national meet this sea- son is inducing the managers of the vari- ous racing teams to arrange their dates so that the crack riders will not come ewerer until the meeting at Asbury ark. There is a vast difference of opinion among the racing men this year as to what rider is entitled to the champion- ship, and the dispute for it will be set- tled at the national meet. —_—__-@__——__— INFLUENCE OF CYCLING CLUBS. What They Do for the Growth of Man- liness Among Members. A crude notion exists, and there is con- siderable size to it, that the influence exerted by cycling clubs at large is very bad for the clubmen and very bad for the community. The better opinion is that clubs of this class are, generally s ng, admirable institutions, tending to develo a healthful spirit of athleticism, and afford- ing a means of social intercourse among wheelmen which from the very nature of it is both pleasurable and impro , It isn’t safe to let a weak-minded youth loose under any circumstances. Assuming that a boy is unfortunate enough to have been born with a bent for going to the devil he should be restrained from joining whee clubs or any other clubs having for their main object the promotion of social inter- course among men; but it is always safe to allow boys made of good stuff as much club life as they want. Neither wheel clubs or other organiza- tions similarly constituted from a social standpoint, can make strength of moral fiber a qualification of membership. The term ‘“‘good standing’’ may cover a multi- tude of sins for all that a club committee can know about it, and so probably there is not a wheel or other similarly organized club in existence without one or more mem- bers unfitted for association with the mor- ally clean and pure-minded. But the force which is wielded by members of this stamp is greatly exaggerated, and what there is of it is entirely innocuous except among those naturally lacking in moral stamina, such as should be kept out of all mis- cellaneous associations, and have their com- panionships picked and chosen by their bet- ters. The wheel club idea has suffered largely through the bad character of a very few organizations styling themselves as such. Gambling and worse have sometimes ap- peared as the main objects sought under the respectable ise of the promotion of cycling. Such instances have been rare but, their damage to wheel club life at large has been great. Only the other day an al- leged wheel club tn Brooklyn, N. Y., was raided by the police with the result of fully corroborating the reputation of the lace as a den of filth and nastiness. But he fact remains that the average cycling or. igation exerts sound and wholesome influences tending to the growth and con- servation of the true spirit of manliness. STIFF ONE FOR JOHNSON. Asbury Park Wheelmen Make the Match With “Zim.” ASBURY PARK, N. J., June 16.—Contrary to the generally expressed opinion, the pros- pects of a match race being run between to ‘| Zimmerman and Johnson during the com- ing national meet at Asbury Park seem very good, indeed. A rumor how- ever, it has been impossible to verify, is cut rent that Johnson's $5,000 has a ‘posted and, though the local race commit : no official notification. of this fact up the present ti w >r ntativ s committee, while 3 ew York #. +a ng 4 ee. ‘¢ ce a tagetnd is oanait Wein: oan ae ee ‘ . ago, was # money ose er | -" Ps a 2 ¢ . -' ¥ art te RE on ar, fs i * ee Te = herr Certainly the Asbury Park Wheelmen, in whose hands the arrangements have been. left by Zimmerman, mean to leave no stone unturned which might help to bring about the match. The last letter of the Race Committee reads as follows: “Mr. John S. Johnson—Dear Sir: Iam in receipt of Mr. Eck’s telegram saying: ‘John- son will hold Zimmerman to his challenge. I posted forfeit in good faith and Zimmer- |... man has not posted his money, and chal- lenge of $5,000 is unreasonable. Will not ride Asbury Park.’ Wesincerely hope that this does not embody your final decision. “We do not consider (and upon careful consideration we are satisfied that you will agree with us) that the stake specified, $5,000, is excessive. You are beyond doubt sincere in your belief that you can outride Zimmerman, in which case you would sim- ply be $4,000 better off than if the race were made for the stake you haye spoken of. In the second place, it is, of course, desirable that Zimmerman’s departure for Austr shall be preceded by as important a race as possible, and of course one for $56,000 a side would overshadow anything that has ever been run in the history of wheeling. “In wagare to the posting of Zimmerman’s money, his $5,000 is now, and has been for some days, on deposit for this special pur- pose, in the First National Bank here. We feel confident that your objection to the race being run at Asbury Park is founded upon a misapprehension of the facts. You doubt- less recollect the track here as it used to be —practicaily a flat track. It has quite re- cently been entirely rebuilt. “Zimmerman has left all the arrange- ments entirely in our hands and in the ar- rangement of details you will find us very onee, to eT with.

Sporting Circles Interested in Proposed International Contests. LONDON, June 15.—What excites the greatest interest in sporting circles is the proposed visit of an Oxford-Cambridge ath- letic team to the United States. The sport ing and other papers all devote much space to discussing the proposed event. After commenting at length on the suggested con- test, the Sporting and Dramatic News says: “as if to impress the desire for interna- ~ tic. The coming Oxford and Cambridge sports promise to be of special interest in view of the challenge of the English universities. The London Athletic Club, whose team will also visit America, defeated Oxford last week, and yesterday at Cambridge won six out of nine events. The programme was ‘exactly the same as in the inter-university i and the results indicate that Cam- sridge would defeat Oxford. Bonner of the London Athletic Club won the 100 yards jash in 10% seconds. Berry of the London Athletic Club, put the weight 4 feet 9 inches.

The enterprising Mr. Stuart, Who bas made arrangements to have the Corbett- Fitzsimmons prize fight “pulled off,’’ to use his sporty language, in Dallas during the Texas State Fair, says there is no law in Texas to prevent it and no opposi- tion to having the slugging match held in Texas except among a few preachers. It should be noted that Mr. Stuart significantly corrected a reporter. who asked him about the fight and told him there was to be no “fight,” but a*% “boxing contest.”’ It is evident that the managers of the “mill” take the Texas people and the aujhorities to be a pack of fools who can be duped into permitting a fight to a finish under the gauzy pre- - text that.it is a ‘boxing contest.” The Post-Dispatch does not share Mr. Stuart’s faith in the unlimited green- ness of the Texas pecple and the pliant idiocy of the Texas authorities. We be- lieve that the opposition to the invasion of Texas by toughs and the degradation of the State by making it a‘ rendezvous of sluggers is not confined to a few Although there may be no law to prevent boxing contests, we be- lieve there is a law to prevent brutal prize fights and that there is a will to enforce it. We are greatly mistaken in the char- acter of the people and the authorities of Texas if they will permit the State to be held up as the only State in the Union which licenses brutality and the State Fair to be turned into a carnival of bar- barity and hoodlumisim. ee OO THE SEDUCTIVE WHEEL. This year will go into history as Bicycle year. The growth of the wheel’s pop- ularity has been so amazing that it seems as if all the world had suddenly discov- ered that the wheel is a good thing and is trying to get on one as soon as pos- gible. The roads are alive with cyclers. The factories cannot meet the demand. The supply of tubing is exhausted. Ali the world is right in its discovery. The wheel is a good thing. One of the ‘est features of it is that it attacks all classes and conditions of men and women, not only the young and the strong, but the old and the weak; not only the ath- letes and persons of leisure, but men who have been wearing away their lives, sap- ping nerve and muscles at office desks, and women who have been chained to the drudgery of the household and the nursery. : The wheel is a boon to these toilers and care-takers. It tempts them to go out of doors: It entraps them into exeréises in the cpen air. It leads them through greem fields and inviting woods. It fills their lungs with fresh air, tones up their nerves, hardens their muscles, strength- ens vital’ organs, revivifies them and . renews the joy of life. ““But in their. new-born enthusiasm for out-of-door exercise these people should not, forget that.it is possible te get too much of a good thing at once. The wheel b- ~. ? % ry . . * ‘the unt duiges in of the world of a country being over- whelmed with good money. There never was a nation yet that was overwhelmed with silver money. There never was a } nation that had more silver money than fit had good use for,, and there never | will be. i igty: The world would mot pour silver upon us, The metal would be as high in price in other countries as here,.so that there | would be no profit in sending it here. On the contrary, there would be a loss, for silver is valued higher in comparison with gold in all other countries than in ours. In our country the ratio is 16 to 1— that is, 16 ounces of silver to 1 of gold. In France, Belgium, Mexico, China and the Central and South American States it is 15% to i—that is, 15% ounces of silver to 1 of gold. There would be a loss of half’an ounce on every pound of silver brought here. | i, Besides, the other countries have no silver to spare. The whole world’s prod- uct of silver in 1893 was $209,165,000—and nearly two-thirds of this, $135,389,763, was coined into money and a large part of the balance went into the industrial arts. In the year 1892 nearly four-fifths of the entire world’s product of silver was coined. In the year 1891, out of a total world’s product of $177,352,300 of silver, $138,294,367 was coined into money in the countries of the earth, and the industrial arts consumed a large proportion of the balance, if not all of it. Even if}pur mints had been open to the free coinage of silver in the three years named, the other nations would have left to us only $74,- 000,000 in 1893, $42,000,000 in 1892, and $39,000,000 in 1891—an allowance which would have fallen far short of over- whelming us; indeed, it would have fallen short of satisfying our wants. It is a mistake to suppose that the world is gorged with cheap silver for which there is little or no use and that the throwing open of our mints would attract it. Every nation on the globe needs more and more silver every year, and there is not enough produced to sat- isfy them. Mexico coined in 1893 $28,000,- 000 silver; Austria-Hungary, $18,000,000; Japan, $12,000,000, and other nations smaller amounts. Even gold-standard Great Britain coined over $7,000,000 silver for small change; and it is certain that if we should adopt the policy of free silver coinage at 16 to 1 the other nations would never allow us to have enough of the annual product of the metal to hurt us. _——— —_ o> -_O-—_——} —__——_——_-_—- DEBS’ STENOGRAPHER. The press dispatches informed the pub- lic several days ago that Debs would take his stenographer to jail with him. On Thursday, however, when the head of the A. R. U. departed for the Woodg stock bastille, nothing was said about the nimble fingered one who had consented to give up his or her liberty to accompany the labur leader into gloomy confinement “for the good of the cause.’’ Can it be that he or she has backed out at the last minute? Or is the jailer at’ Woodstock so hard-hearted that he can find no ac- commodations for a knight or lady of the flying pencil?. It was an inexcusable piece of neglect in the dispatches not to inform the public whether Debs’ stenog- rapher was a “mere man” or one of those “pretty typewriters.” It is all very well for Debs to glory in going to jail for the sake of principle. He may feel like a second Galileo or Bun- yan. But how about the young man or woman who had apparently decided to go too, in order to take down the honeyed words of “the Jabor leader, without any thought of fame or fortune, merely for a sordid salary, at the market rates? If posterity had carved a niche for Debs, would it not also have made one for this self-sacrificing soul? Where is that stenographer? The pub- lic has a right to know whether he proved recreant to so great an opportunity or Whether her sweetheart forbade her car- rying out the contract. ——_—-—_- - -2 —s — THE SAME WOMAN. Amid all.the sense and nonsense writ- ten and talked about the “new woman” there is no word concerning her identity. Nobody knows what she is. Certain superficial qualities have been noted and described, but these afford no clew to her real nature, which is as much a mystery as ever. It is well known, for instance, that she often rides a bicycle and frequently wears bloomers or knickerbockers and sometimes plain “‘short pants;’’ that she reads queer books and sometimes writes them, and that she has “ideas” which she clings to for as long as a whole week at a time, ideas which would stock an ordinary bric-a-brac shop and sooner or later will find their way into the curiosity shop. but are the greatest things on earth while they are whirling about in- side her head. The new woman is supposed to think for herself or think she thinks, which is the same to her. She also likes to have her own way, and usually has it, espe- clally with persons of the other sex. She falls in love easily, gracefully and sin- cerely, and that way falls out again. And when she marries—it is a fable that she never marries—is prompted by mo- tives perfectly satisfactory to herself, if not to her friends who never can see what she sees in the man of her choice. She is illusive, elusive and delusive. After all her characteristics are enumer- ated she remains as much a mystery as ever, an inexhaustible object of interest, admiration and awe. 7 ; : 4 . ; ; Ke" 2% : ; a ; Se)! ae ” van 4 why ee ee * ani has now’been in existence over two yéars. An examination of that part of the city on each side of the Union Station for several blocks along Clark avenue will show that, for want of this bridge, prop- erty has deteriorated in every way in- stead of being raised in value, as was expected from the’ building of the new depot. The depot stands there like a vast wedge, and the flow of traffic and busi- ness has been as badly checked al) around that part of the city as the flow of blood in an artery that is under a tourniquet. This bridge must be built, and the railroads must be compelled to fulfil their part of the contract regarding it. Although the steamship St. Louis broke no records, there is no cause for disap- pointment in her maiden trip. On the contrary, there is exceptional cause for congratulation. It was a remarkable maiden trip. The record of the trip shows a continuous run without a stop at an average speed of 18.37 knots. Capt. Ran- dle, who has taken out twenty-two steam- ers on their first trips, said he has never had a similar experience. He has never seen new machinery work so perfectly. There was no vibration in the boat, but every wheel and shaft worked smoothly without a jar or hitch. The steamer was not pushed at any time, so that her speed capacity was not tested. But.the admira- ble operation of her machinery is a high proof of American skill and promises brilliant achievements in speed later on. The St. Louis has proved herself a won- derful boat and we shall see what she can do in the way of speed. > A cranky local organ finds that Sec- retary Olney has made a bad beginning by affixing his name to a proclamation which says the United States are, in- stead of is. Mr. Olney is not a perfect statesman, but in using the “are” he has not only observed grammatical accuracy, but he has been guided by the Consti- tution. Until that document shall have been rewritten, officers of the United States are bound to avoid the senseless ‘is’ of the centralization cranks. a i a ae Englishmen who. marry American women find them very useful in political campaigns. Mrs. Naylor-Leland . and Mrs. Curzon, both American girls, are about to hustle for their husbands polit- ically. It is to be regretted, perhaps, that American women should learn pol- .itics merely for the benefit of foreigners, when the politicians of their own country are so much in need of charming hustlers. ——— os The marriage license lists for June have taken on a great length. The sum of human happiness or human woe that goes with a marriage license can hardly be told, but it is a time of year when little heed is ever given to Punch’s ad- vice, Then, too, the improvement in the times is a stimulant to matings, a little hope going a long way into the future. The increase in the bank clearings this week was not quite up to the’ record of last week, but it is substantial. The increase is 5 per cent over the corre- sponding week of last year. The fine average of increase which this city has maintained for weeks past is most en- couraging. The business revival has come to stay. a ea © —s-- —-— Somebody has discovered that there was a William McKinley in the Eleventh Congress. There was scarcely any need of a McKinley in those days, however. The Carnegies and other greedy monopo- lists had not then put in an appearance, and a McKinley had nothing to do but to go honestly about his business. It is not true that the recent synod of the Reformed Church of America con- demned Sunday bicycle riding. Perhaps what the synod meant to say was that everybody should have a bicycle and go to church on it. If the bicycling people could all be got into the church its growth would paralyze the unbelievers. That so many hundreds of St. Louismen desire to encounter the perils of a fire- man’s life does not seem so remarkable when we read that forty New Haven men haye recently asked for the place of fulminate mixer.

Did you ever stop to think that we are all only boys and girls of a larger growth? With ali our wisdom and experience, how much more do we know than know the 800 boys and girls who passed out from the public schools last week? How to turn 50 cents into a dollar, perhaps; but any of them could tangle us all up in quadrants, and confuse us beyond explanation on “A square plus B square.” 7 Of course*we are proud of those 800 boys and girls. Wé are proud because they know more than we did at their age; because our toil and scheming has enabled us to buy for them what our forefathers could not buy for us. That is a sort of selfish pride, isn’t it? aim and purpose of life Is the acquisition of knowledge, and all things which tend to aid in the accomplishment of that object must be commendable. Why we pile up this information and then die in the midst of our greatest triumphs, God knows. We only know there isn’t anything else apparent in life but the hope of learning. What we shall do with it all hereafter remains to be discovered. Our aristocracy is coming on. The an~ nouncement is made of the engagement of- Mr. Harry McCormick and Miss Edith Rockefeller. The latter’s father is the rich- est man in the country and has an uninter- rupted income of $15,000,000 a year. The father of the former was also a muliti- millionaire, and from the sale of reapers amassed a colossal fortune. It is only of late years that the great wealth of America established the idea of marrying within itself. Theretofore it was not uncommon for the rich young men to wed poor young girls and for rich young girls to wed poor young men. And nobody thought anything about it, either. In fact it was considered to be a very proper thing, since by these means wealth was better distributed and dangers from entail obvi- ated. But we have made great strides in plu- tocracy during the past ten years..We have learned that vast wealth entitles the pos- sessor to admission into a favored class, around whom is erected a barbed-wire fence of exclusiveness. Boys and girls born into that set belong perforce to a su- perior race of beings. . They |. must not be pé@rmitted, as. the | Metho- dist disc{pline says, ‘to be unequally yoked with unbelievers.” They are members of the nobility of wealth, and that nobility must be ‘kept together by the cohesive power of public plunder and united in- terests. } Most men of to-day can remember shen a millionaire was @ rara avis. Just before the war such successful men as Pea , Stewart, Vanderbilt and Astor were a4 counted wonderful, and yet neither of them had $5,000,000. To-day the owner of that sum f such a common bird that his naine is rarely mentioned in the newspapers unless he does some exceedingly charitable and unexpected thing. Our plutocracy is coming on, to be sure. I think I stated on @ previous oc plish less than any club in the country, and I am only overruled in this opinion by thej ‘statistics ‘showing that Louisville can do) ' nm’ on wise he has observed a studious silence. But Mr. Wilson is not lable to be a presi- dential candidate. The Democratic party is apparently in no humor tg put its confi- dence in anybody who repeats the parrotlike shibboleth; ‘‘sound money.” It has its own ideas of sound monéy now, and it wants a Western man for President. . Bome of the citizens of Texas are right- eously indignant over the perfected ar- rangements whereby one Corbett and an- other oné Fitzsimmons, professional bruis- ers, are to have a “mill” at Dallas on Octo- ber 321. It is quite likely that some of the Texans are either pleased with the opportunity this will give them to see a real prize fight, .or else are indifferent about it. There is that in the Westerner which warms his heart toward a fair fight. That is all he ever to see anything demoralizing or unnatural in a fistic contest between two men of equal size, strength, courage and fighting capa- city. = It will attract many thousands of dollars in the town of Dallas, and thus draw so of the Eastern seaboard wealth to the South. But is that all they will leave in Dallas? May they not leave behind them a lighter regard for law and for human life? May they not leave an impression that the thug, the gambler and the prize fighter are men to be admired and sought after? The Texans are not squeamish folk, but they are liable to be very deeply impressed with the immoral atmosphere of the com- ing mill. It is to be hoped if this fight is riot stopped that hereafter prise. fighting will be prohibited by Texas law. This week the law will go into effect in Missouri prohibiting “barbefring’’ on Sun- day. This is the most direct attack upon an ancient industry and original privileges ever made by the General Assembly, and there will be a temporary uprising against it seldoth seen or heard in this State. The number of men who will forget the new law and walk complacently toward the barber shop next Sunday morning, only to find it closed, cannot be estimated or meas- ured. It is the peculiar province of busy man to forget those things which he ought not to forget and to remember those things which might just as well be forgotten. Getting shaved on Sunday morning has been an idle and blissful prerogative since the absence of a beard was tolerated by law; hence, the sweeping away of this priv- ilege will be met for awhile by a forrent of criticism and abuse, But it will come out all right. Men are reasoning animals, and eventually they will comprehend the fact that barbers ought no more to be required to work on Sunday than the banker or the broker. Saturday is the great “day of preparation,” and the man who fails to get shaved on that day has the privilege of shutting himself up on Sunday and reviling the remainder of man- kind until Monday morning. Next Tuesday the recent act of the Mis- sourl General Assembly approprigting $12,- 000 for busts of Thomas H. Benton and Prancis P. Blair for the statuary hall of the National Capitol at Washington will become a law. On the succeeding day the commission appointed to expend the money will meet in St. Louis and prepare for the expenditure of the money. This will be an opportunity which artists throughout the country should take advan- | tage of—but more particularly those of Bt. Louis. and Missouri. Other things being anywhere near equal, the work of producing the statues of Benton and Blair should be awarded to St. Louis. There are artists and sculptors here of international reputation, and as a matter of local pride they ought to have the honor of realizing the provisions of the new law.

I presented the Ogures showing the loss fora period of years, These figures showed a steady ina- Sréase in such losses in our State from 1891. I undertoek to suggest something that would, rtially atleast, lessen this great waste. eremedy Isuggested was what may be preperly termed co-insurance, {n the sense Of the insured bearing part of any loss ander his policy. ‘‘The amount of loss that the insured should bear in each case was stated by me, QS a suggestion, at per cent. I did not state my meaning as ciearly as I should, and leftitto be Inferred, or at least open to the construction, that the insured should oaly lose in the event of the loss exceeding 75 per centofthe risk, WhatI meantto express, and what I Ormiy believe to be right and pol- itic, is that in all cases of loss by fire, either partial or total, the insured should Dear from 20° to 25 per:-eent of such loss. There may be cases where, by virtue of the peculiar fire protectien and the character of the commodity insured; the risk assumed by the insured could be reduced to 10 per cent, but such cases.are rare and can only occur, if at all, in large cities where the Ore protec- tion ig mostample. I have serious doubts if there are any such exeeptional cases. **It le claimed by some that there are very large risks in cifies, such as grain, eotton eand@ merchandise, where the investments reach the million-dollar mark, which should heave fall insurance, and that the position taken Dy me in my lIast report, and re- affirmed new, if carried iato legal enact- ment, would disturb, in the iastances given, the commercial interests of large trade cen- ters, such as St, Louis aad Kansas City. I am tn grave déebt if there t¢ any foundation im fact or Justice fer this claim. | ‘*l am sure I would not urge a law or poliey that would unjustly disturb the business in- terests of any community or individeal. But it is top often true that individuals and corporation’ engaged in business with large investments and possessed of great wealth demand, and seem to expect, benefits and protection from the law which are sot claimed or extended to men of similar pur- suits, Dut of small. means; and to this ac- count perhaps may be attribseted the claim for fullingurance. Ifso, I have no respect for the claim. **However this may be, the fact remains that the fire waste in Missouri is large, and the insuranee rate is accordingly high. Reduce the loss and you will reduce the rate. The ome is controlied by the other. The first thing to be done is to reduce the fre loss. How can this be done? ‘The best way apparent to my mind is Ww inelte vigi- lamce and encourage honesty om the part of the imsured—vigilance in the Romest but careless policy-holder, vigilance and hones- ty in the dishonest policy-holder. How can this be done? By requiring that all policy. holders shal) participate with the insurance company in the insurance of the risk and, as as a consequence, that every policy-holder ‘shall share in any less under his policy to the extent of mot less than 20 per cent of such loss, whether partial or total.”’ The report commends the Aagdersen law passed at the last session of the Legisiature, limiting the amount of fire insurance to 75 cent of the value of the property, asa step in the right direction. In regard to rates the report continues: **In my last report I substantially justinea the increased rates by the cempanies on ae- Sount of the great loss, and sald that they were compelled either to increase their rates or take their business out of the State. All of this I believe wastrue.

Case of an Arkansas Man Who Stole a Hog and Ate the Pork. Special to The Post-Dispatcb. LITTLE ROCK, ARK., June 15,—The Su- preme Court rendered a decision in a hog stealing case in which one or two new points were raised resulting in the reversal of the ease. John Button was indicted for stealing a hog and afterward eating a part of the pork, knowiag it was stolen. Among other charges to the jury the judge of the lower court said that if they believed from the evidence that But. ton did eata part of tne pork, kuaowing it was stolen, they should find the accused guilty of grand larceny. The jury fouad Button guilty and he was sentenced tothe pea. The Supreme Court reversed the de- cision and remanded fornew trial because it was not kmown on what count the jury found him guilty and If it was for eat- ing a part of the stolen hog, it must be shown that he ate $10 worth, the amount a person must steal to make the offense that of grand larceny. The Magic Growth OF A 8ST. LOUIS SHOE CONCERN. Fifteen years ago a young merchant opened a smal Retail Shoe Store in an un- pretentious building at 616 Franklin avenue, and by his thrift and energy built up a fair that he was forced to secure larger stores at 604 and 606 Franklin avenue. These quarters, however, proved inadequate, and in 1898 the entire southwest corner of Sixth and Franklin avenue was secured by him and a large building erected. That same year Mr. C. B. Hilts (for he was the young merchant) associated with him Mr. J. F. Sensenbrenner, his manager, and the firm became the C., BE. Hilts Shoe Co, By keen business tact, @ large capital, and inde- have popularized their establishment and made it one of the leading concerns of St. Louis, ; By their method of cut prices their pat- ronage has been so enormous that they have been pushed for room, and are now again compelled to seek large? quarters. This time they have leased the large building ad- joining their present place of business, for- merly known as the Dime when the carpenters and decorators are through with it Mr. Sensenbrenner says Hilts Shoe Co, will be the largest in the southwest, The salesrooms will be on the ground floor and will occupy the entire frontage on both Sixth and Franklin ave- nue, covering a space of 25,000 square feet.

STREETS MUST BE CLEANED. Supt. Schawacker Says He Will Guard the City’s Interests. — WILL ABOLISH PADRONEISM. Contractors Will Also Have to Live Up to Their Specifications Strictly or ' Suffer the Penalties Provided. Chris Schawacker received his commission as Superintendent of Street Sweeping Sat- urday, and last night began his work. Supt. Schawacker announces that he will immediately set about instituting a num- ber of needed reforms. Among other things he will stamp out the infamous padrone system, by which the street shovelers are paid less than the city price allowed the contractors for such labor. From this method the contractors haye reaped ;; handsome profit at the expensé of the pub- | lic treagury.. This evil was etaboratély exposed by the Post-Dispatch some time ago. Complaints of the unsatisfactory way in which the streets have been swept, especially in the down town districts, have been numerous. The Wade Bros. Construc- tion Co, holds the contract to sweep the streets of the entire city. This contract is let by the Board of Public Improvements to the lowest bidder. For several years the lowest bid for all streets, except as- phalt, was 48 cents per square, and for asphalt 28 cents to 30 cents. But the Wade Bros. put in a bid of 37% cents for all but asphalt and 27 cents for the latter. This being by far the lowest bid they secured the contract, which rune for three years. Experts have figured that the bid of the Wade Bros. amounts to $90,000 less in the three years than the lowest sum paid for the s@#me work before. The question is, ‘How can they do the work at such a low figure?” The numerous complaints are that the work is not done properly, but singular to say, the inspectors of the Street Depart- ment have presumably not made reports pointing out the bad work, else the city contracters would have been called to an- Swer and compelled to do better work on pain of having their contract revoked. “I shall insist that the contractors who are doing the street sweeping shall do the work properly and strictly follow the scale and specifications of their contract,”’ said Superintendent Schawacker yesterday. “‘Wade Bros., who obtained this contract for the whole city on a very low bid, have sub- let all that portion of the city south of Olive street to Henry Mueller, who formerly held the contract for the whole city himself. But I shall deal with Wade Bros. alone in my reports, and will not draw a separate report on the work done by Mueller, as, I under- stand, has beer done heretofore. In other words, I shall recognize no one but the Wade Bros.,.as they are the contractors, and I shall hold them strictly responsible for all of the work. “I find that there are numerous com- plaints of the poor manner in which the streets in a portion of the down-town sec- tion are being cleaned. It is claimed that the big revolving brooms are allowed to wear so short that they do not take up the dirt properly, and the pavement is left half- cleaned. I shall investigate this matter. All I want is clean streets. If the con- tractor is directed to put in new brooms oftener he will have to do so. If he has put in a bid to secure the contract at such a low figure that he cannot —. the streets clean and make any money on his contract, why, that is not my fault. I shall see that the inspectors do not loaf, but that they do their work and make proper reports on the condition of the s “The compiaiate that have been filed state that on Washington avenue and some other streets where street cars run the space between the rails is eg unswept, That matter will be remedied t “From Franklin avenue to Clark avenue and from Third to Seventh streets the streets are now swept six times a week. T want this every- t sweeping to extend east of Third street, so as to take in Second street, and: from Market on down to Chou- teau avenue, There are a number of shops and stores in that section, and then t : traffic s tremendous on Second street and it should be cleaned dally. As it is, a fear- ful stench arises from ond street and the cross streets. This section east of Third has only been swept twice a week. Bal ge I want Pine and Locust streets, t of of Grand avenue, swept every night, Sioned of twice a week. Those streets are ular routes going down-town and re- and should be kept in a clean con-~- t the contractors are not to be blamed alto ether for the dirty streets down-town,” Col. Schawacker. ‘The ordin- cabins that the sweeping machines = off of the streets by 7 o'clock in morning. At that hour the stores and neal are cleaning up, and they throw tu paper, “gt and refuse out into the streets, y o’clock the down-town section, in some places, looks as if it had not been swept the night before, There is a city ordinance prohib&ing th paper or any refuse into the streets after 7 o'clock a.m. I shall notify down-town merchants =~ business men to " ceeeerecenseme Schawacker says he wi up the padrone system of aoe During March Wade B large numbers 2 ‘eee am 17. bc.

In addition, a marine post office! !©o and will be established on board the steamer | which has been set apart for the use of the press and this post office will be under the | og supervision of government officials able to convérse in the seven leading languages, The newspaper men, however, are already complaining, not of the manner in which they have been treated, but of the way in which it is proposed to treat them during the fetes. ccording to the programme, the press steamer will not be allowed to join in the procession through the canal, and, moreover, she will be stationed in such an a ard position that those on board her will be able to see little or nothing of the ceremonies. Naturally this has Caused considerable discontent among the r fraternity, and all the big news- papers have been compelled to take other steps to obtain the information they de- sire to present in their columns. At the Imperial banquet at r William will toast the United Holtenau, Sta Navy and the band will play ‘Hail Columbia.’’ olu In spite of the official statements to the effect that the canal is safe and ready for navigation, competent engineers who have inspected the new waterway express the opinion that it is quite possible that the will cave in during the passage of the big warships. The. lavish character of the hospitality which will be extended to the crews of the ‘foreign ships at Kiel may be judged the fact that a contract made with rovides for the supply of of fresh meat daily, 2,000 bottles of wine, 200 bottles of spirits, 10,000 tles of A , 6,000 gallons of beer in lions of milk, aside from cs are in @ Vv muddled condition. in coalition with the Con- started a bitter ( wenge » Cabinet, with the dismissal of | rial Secreta of State for the Interior; ron Marschall Von Bieberstein, the Imperial inMister for Aff and Baron Von Berlepsch, ister of Commerce, to ose 0 ition they attributed the Gov- | te refusal to sanction any of the big schemes.

BY RECLAIMING THEM . ‘States Are to Receive Arid Lands From the Government. WASHINGTON, D.C., June 15.—Millions and millions of acres are to be added to the great homestead areas of the West. The last Con- gress enacted a law providing that the Gen- eral Government shall donate to each State in which there are arid lands, 1,000,00) acres ef such lands, on condition that the reclama- tion is done by the states. Already Idaho and Wyoming have complied witk all the formalities of the law and have taker steps toward secering 1,000,000 acres of laad within thelr borders, Lieut.-Goverrzor Miles of Idaho, and E. Meade. of Wyoming, both engineers appointed by their respective States, are hereto complete the final arrangements. Their mission promises to be very success- ful, for they are receiving from Land Vom. missioner Lanoreaux tke most cordial co- operation. **The steps which are now being taken to transform an immense section of arid coun- try into fertile and fruitful felds,*’ said ‘the er, **will without doubt - De most far-reaching in their effects, Under the new law, how- ever, the State is to undertake the work, and is to sell the lakds in sections of not over 160 acres te any one person for such price as can be obtained. The Government retains pos- session for five years, and if at the end of that time the reclamation appears to be per- menent, the title to the land passes to the State and thence tothe settier. This means homes and farms for a multitude uf peopie.’’ WINNEBAGO EVICTIONS. Troops Will Be on Hand to Resist the Indian Police.

CO., 710 Chestnut st. NO STAINED GLASS THERE. Commander Booth Says None Shall Be Permitted in the Building. From the New York Press. Some newspaper men and women got an impressive glimpse of the aims of the Sal- vation Army one day last week. Comman- der Booth was showing the party over the new building just before it was opened for public inspection. On each side of the stage in the auditorium is a large window and both give light enough by day with the glass roof over the top to make artifi- cial lighting before sundown unnecessary. These two windows are so situated that one’s first thought is what a magnificent ef- fect could be created if the windows were filled with stained glass. A young chit of a woman, a dainty little thing who does art work for one of the city papers, voiced what was probably in every- body’s mind when she said: “Of course, you hope that somebody will: give you stained glass for those two splendidly situated win- dews, Commander Booth?” To the surprise of everybody the Comman- der replied forcibly as he turned almost fiercely to the young woman: “No, never, never, never! We don’t want stained glass there nor anywhere else. The aim of the Salvation Army is to keep down near the lower strata of socicty. Stained glass is beautiful to look at, but it removes a reli- gious organization one or more steps from the people. We won't have it, because we want to be as plain as the plainest and as homely as the homeliest. We aim to reach the great human family, the very dregs, you may say, of humanity. Never forget We are pleased to have the rich and wealthy patronize us and even good-na- turedly coddle us. We thankfully accept your dollar,not only because it does you good to give it, but it helps us to get down nearer to those we want to reach. We want to go lower instead of higher. No stained giass for the Salvation Army as long as I live if I can help it.’’ Why He Jumped. From the Youth’s Companion. A gentleman, a former herdsman, relates a thfilling personal experience connected with a stampede of cattle. He was tak- ing a herd of 400 steers to Leadville, and had camped for the night on Bear River, near its Junction with the Little Snake. At mid- hight, when he wert on guard, all was quiet, but in an hour or so, for some unex- a reason, the cattle were up and off ike a flash. Something had stampeded them. He says: “I was riding an old blue colored, line-backed California bronco, just the beast for the work. I had often ridden him a hundred miles a day. The night was dark and cloudy, and I had to rely on Sam's sure-footedness as I strove to stay on the flanks of the steers and turn them until their scare should cease. It was a wild race. Four or five times Sam gave tremendous jumps, but landed right and went on in ood shape. In the course of an hour or so ne = 2 Soe oman “When daylight came, being curious t know what obstacles had occasioned Shean tremendous leaps of the bronco, I set forth to look over the ground. Leaving the bot- tom land, the steers had ascended a gentle acclivity, and on the plateau at the top I had kept circling them. This plateau was by @ canon about four miles long and from fifteen hundred to two thou- sand feet deep. Its walls inclined toward each other at the top, and the distance across was fifteen or twenty feet. During the chase Sam had jumped that frightful chasm four times! His hoof-marks were enews A visible, and down in the debris, undreds of feet below, were a dozen mangled steers that had been crowded off.”’ . Solemn Truth. From the Youth’s Companion. One business man met arfother on the street. The second man seemed down- cast, and had a look as if he were ashamed of himself. “What is the matter?” asked the first man. “Well, to put it briefly,” said the other, been speculating in stocks.” ?

Wheel.” Bicycles in bewildering variety are ap- pearing on the roads, drives and boulevards. There are offered over three hun- dred brands of cycles, that differ only in weight, strength, cost and name. The highest-priced wheels are the lightest in weight. A minimum weight of nineteen pounds has been reached. Next year they will weigh less than seventeen pounds. The problem of how light a wheel can be con- structed and still bear up a full-sized man has not as yet been fully solved, but from present indications the probability is that the cyclist of 1896 will present the appear- ance of a man who has been tured by a couple of hoop snakes, who are ring him slender machines, going down the road after dark with the forthcoming electric light streaming from the handle bar, will present a startling spectacle. , It is not, however, in human nature for every one to satisfied with something that every one else has, and. there is a de- mand for machines that will be practicable, yet differ from the majority in action and appearance.

Among the most valuable of these is a sacred book or bible, written in a strange tongue, which an antiquarian and a scholar will now set about to decipher. The age of the book is unknown, but, caming from a people whose manners customs have never changed, for whom time has not existed, it is supposed to ante- date all written records. It is asked wheth- er this book may not tell the story of crea- tion, as people living upon the site of that mighty event handed it down from genera- tion to generation, May not here at last be an authentic story of the t y of the Gard Eden, more detailed, more specific, more in- stinct with convincing proofs of truth than that b foes - saw the light, perhaps thousands of y later? This book, to whose translation many are now looking for a solution of thesé prob- lems, consists simply of two narrow boards, between which are laid about 100 narrow loose leaves. these leaves are inscfibed mysterious records of-a religion about which nothing is known.: The boards are about two feet long and six inches wide, and the strange “book” of primitive shape makes a bulky volume. Other curiosities of a religious nature which enter into the Abbott collection are prayer wheels and curiously carved, gray- ish stones, which are found on the table- lands in heaps. The prayer-wheels carry the prayers of the ple round and round, being sometimes ven by water, at other times by the wind, and each revolution is supposed to register the prayer for their ultimate benefit.

Water lilies whose leaves are big enough to sustain a well-grown child, are success- fully grown in New Jersey, being a new species in those latitudes, These enormous water lilies, some of whose leaves are six feet in diameter, floating like a vast pan upon the still surface of a pond, are the Victoria Regia, the largest of their kind. _ In some South American countries the Victoria Regia will completely cover the surface of a lake or canal, shutting out = light and making a sort of pontoon n which a man can walk. One large leaf be such a plant as this would make a re- spectable canoe. Those that are now growing under the supervision of Mr. *S. C. Nash at Clifton, N. J., have already reached a very large size. “Mr. Nash last year photographed his ties of. the American climate in a new field. This same variety of pond lily, the Vic- toria Regia, is grown succéssfully in Shaw's Garden, in this city, and the Sunday Post- Dispatch last summer published a picture of one of the plants with a child supported by its leaf. WESTERN WATER RESOURCES. Flow of the Rivers Which Are Useful for Irrigation. Special Correspondence Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, June 10.—F. H. Newell of the Geographical Survey has completed his fifth pambhlid on the results of stream management in the United States. Special attention has been paid throughout to a knowledge of the water resources of those parts of the country where water is of the greatest value. Gauging stations have been established in most of the large basins of the West, especially in the Upper Mis- souri, Yellowstone, Platte, Rio Grande, Gila and Bear rivers. At these the daily flow of the rivers was measured and the mean flow calculated for each month of the year. In most of the arid regions, the flow was greatest in May and June, though in some places it continued very large throughout the first half of July. The solution of the problem by which the surplus waters during these months can be restrained for use in July and August MADE BY A POST-DISPATCH ARTIST. A. Queen tire flow of the river will not supply them. In some places “underflow” canals have also been dug to catch the water that comes from beneath the bed of the river, even when it appears to be entirely dry, an a flow of a few feet has been obtained. The Rio Grande drains 30,000 square miles above El Paso, Tex. In May and June if discharges from 2,000 to 5,000 second feet there, and ‘at other times, especially the last part of the year, it is often entirely dry Sear River, above Collinstown, drains 6,000 square miles, and runs yee from April to July, varying from 3,000 to 8,000 second feet. During the next two months, however, from 700 to 1,300 is all that can be hoped for. THE TRUST’S RECORD. Origin and Growth of The Whisky Combination. On May 10, 1887, the first step toward or- ganizing the Whisky Trust was taken at Peoria, Ill. The concerns which were drawn into the original combination were the Wool- ner Bros.’ Distilling Co. of Peoria, with a capital stock of $450,000; the Great Western Co. of Peoria, capital stock $100,000; the arch Distilling Co. of Peoria, stock 250,60: the Chicago Distilling Co. of Chicago, stock $50,000; the Mound “3 Distilling Co. of St. Louis, the Maddox-Hobart Co., the Milk Creek Distillery Co. and the Duckworth concern of Cincinnati. ' This was the nucleus, with an aggregate stock capitalization of over $2,000,000. To make an absolutely sweeping monopoly ¢r one which for stock-jobbing purposes could assume to be such, a greater and ‘wider scope was found necessary. To avoid con- flict with the Sherman anti-trust law, the Distilling & Cattle-Feeding Co. was incor- porated under the laws of the State of IIili- nois. Under this last scheme the trustees named were Louis H. Greene, Alfred Bevis, P. J. Hennessey, Joseph B. Greenhut, W. = Hobart, W. H. Corning, Adolf Wool John H. Francis and George K.

In the more arid portions of the southwest there is not wake enough to irrigate all the lands, no matter how care- fully it might be stored. The general ‘Government has absolute title to nearly one-third 6f the area of the United States, excluding Alaska. With the exception of ‘certain areas within the Inr- dian reservations, the public lands of the West are mainly within the arid or semi- arid region. In order to throw Nght upon one of the new phases.of the inquiries concerning the water resources, a thorough investiga- tion was made as to the wt yy oe of the national domain. The resu show that settlement has followed the ps Bro of th great West to a remarkable extent, an that it has clustered about the foothills of the higher mountain ranges, which from their abruptness of graphy ee a perennial supply of water for irrigating.

Charles Malloy, a laborer, 30 years old, was run over and almost instantly killed about 8 a; m. yesterday by switch engine No. 891 of the Missouri Pacific Railread. The accident occurred near Valley Park. Malloy was crossing the tracks when the engine came up ata d rate, and, knock- ing * him, down, passed over his side. He ' died thirty minutes later. The body was brought to Union Station. on a train and taken to the Morgue. It was identified there by Patrick Fleming, a laborer, as Malloy. Deputy Coroner Heib held an inquest over the remains and after taking the tes- 'timony of several witnesses postponed furth- er hearing of evidence until Sunday, when Malloy was formerly employed on the Government works at Bissell’s Point. He was a veteran.of the Union army. Presentation to C. N. Osgood. Saturday afternoon at a dinner at the Mercantile Club, Mr. C. N,.

City Counselor Marshall says that the insinuation that the delay in handing down the decision-in the case of the Verdin heirs vs. the Barber Asphalt Co. was due to the influence of one of the agents of the Barber company with a member of the court, was an injustice to the Supreme Court. The court consists of seven members, and one member could not rule the other six. Mr. Marshall says the case was advanced on the docket and decided in June of last year. That decision was against the city’s interest, but it was manifestly wrong on come points, and a rehearing was consented to. The rehearing was had last January and the case was taken under advisement. The delay in handing down @ decision, Mr. Marshall says, is due to the crowded con> dition of the docket, the court been required to sit almost continuously.

The one drawing the ‘lucky’ num- ber Count Clerico promises to marry and install as the chatelaine of his French chateau. The eeds of the lottery he proposes to divide as follows: Two hundred and fifty thousand rubles for himself, 250,. 000 for his bride, 250,000 for the journal] which conducts the lottery, and 250,000 for the poor 6f Russia. The Count argues that this will be the lowest price—one ruble—ever paid by any woman for a bona-fide title of Countess. He declares that he a to one of the oldest families in France, has a comforta- ble fortune,an unimpeachable character and an unsullied name, and that he will furnish documentary proof of his claims. His for- tune, however, he says is not sufficient for him to live in the requisite fin de le style. Some of the French papers have treated the proposition seriously, and ex- press the fear that the oddity of his pro- ogal will attract some one willing to pay 1000, 000 rubles outright for him rather then the one ruble at which he estimates “mself, ' 1 \ \\ i ur assembles the guests in the spacious and beautiful dining-room of the inn.

There was a fancy dress ball that night at the beautiful country home of Jonathan Windom, It. was éarly in the spring and this ball was intended to round out a season 6f more than usual gayety and success. At midnight the revels were to end in a waltz that should transform the partners into valeritines and the fresh tuning up of the band gave indication that 12 o’clock was almost at hand. Cavaliers, “Memgns, monarchs and brig- ands began to rush hither, and— yon in search of the particular queen or peasant, heathen: goddess or country lassie pre- ferred by Twentieth Century tastes, while the belle of the ball-room and daughter of the house, Marie Windom, stood unclaimed, and as two by two the motley dancers as- sorted themselves for the transformation scene and the sweet, sad music rose and fell, still she stood alone by the open win- pparently indifferent, and et her gloriously. dark eyes scanned eager- i each passing face and saw not the one they searched for. Upon her programme, directly opposite the midnight. waltz, were scrawled the initials of “‘R. 8S.,’’ representing none other than Robert Shields, to whom Marie had for some time been engaged. ently her quick observation of the bali-room disclosed the fact. that another face was missigg, and then in very heart weariness she turned from the happiness and the light, and with her long, classic draperies trailing around her, she stepped out into the night.

When she was last in the country, the world was white with snow, glittering with frost, and hung with icicles. The gun shone pale irom a blue sky, and a gathering bank of clouds presaged more snow and im- prisonment within doors. It was lovely even then in a silent, fan- tastic way, for the artist sees with an eye with which the poet recognizes the beauty of nature at all times. i . But now the spring has come and gone, and the artist’s activity, released from school-room and studio engagements, can be transferred to another sphere. A stretch of young green wheat, the tender green of the early leafing trees, the bursting blooms of the orchards, the deep blue sky and the blue water; small copses and bigger frag- ments of what was once a forest, all these invite the cunning of her brush.

So the slanning begins, in fact there is not much tesplan, for the woman artist is sin- gulariy'@ee from pretentiousness, when she tching. There is always stored away ig the closet an old dress that has done service on just such occasions, a pair of shoes that need not fear the dust and mud of country roads, an old shade hat, seared with the season’s sun and rain. And as she gathers up these traps for the longed- for outing she remembers with a smile her first sketching tour. She was a student then at the School of Fine Arts. Mr. Edward Campbell, in whose class she was, has promised the sketching tour on the first favorable day. Since then he has had no peace. No matter how low- ering the sky, he is besieged with anxious questions, and day after day the girl «tu- dents come arrayed in fresh dainty picnic frocks of whitest muslin, which they con- sider the Only appropriate raiment with which to celebrate their initiation as artists with Mother Nature. The girl in the fluffy muslin dress has learned better since, and the only skirt which she affects now for such a tour is one of blue duck of the same material that the laborer wears in the field. Mr. Campbell suggests that it smells a little like rain. The class sniffs as hard as it can, but cannot detect the faintest trace of heavenly tears. Then Mr. Campbell ad- vises the utility of wraps and rubbers, but the girls declared him a “regular old gran- ny.’ They wanted to go away off somewhere in Forest Park. So the cars were taken, and each one was loaded down with a para- sol, a paint box, camp-stool and other artist paraphernalia. Then there is a walk that seems endless. The day is sultry and the traps grow heavier every minute. Finally a spot is reached that seems paint- able. Down they sit with their backs to the lake. Mr. Campbell suggests that they sketch a yellow bank, lately thrown up, with a stretch of gray sky above. The stu- dents stick up their noses and declare that they haven’t come to paint that ugly thing. The day’s adventures begin. One of the girls new patent camp-stool spreads out and lets her down with a flop. Another tries to tip back, and the Jegs of her stool sink into the bank, and she tumbles a somersault to the very margin of the lake. Some one suggests that the lake be sketched, and there is general approval. The scene is taken in. That lovely cluster of trees must not be left out on the side, and surely the willow on the other bank must go in also, and that necessitates crowding in all of the lake, all the trees, all the refiections, and, of course, there must be a sky. After struggling with the drawing for about half an hour, and finding that the trees on this side of the lake must be just two inches high on the block, and geting into a tangle of grimy pencil lines, “4 SKETCH ON THE RIVER,” By Miss Jessie Phillips. ‘one after the other concludes to let it go and straighten it out in the painting. Mr. Campbell suggests that they do not try to paint the whole earth on the first sketch, “and to leave something for the next time. But the class as a whole fails to see anything funny in his remark at just that me. “The begin with the sky and smear on Pag, Phat paint. Then they look up to the real sky, and find that they have made their own a thousand times too blue. A new mess of paint is mixed, and when they look up for the second time they find nothing but white clouds behind the trees, where they wanted to put on the nice blue paint. And they it on, never realizing that the ‘bright, rich blue is reserved for the dome _ of ven, and is. never once found near One girl asks, “How on earth these horrid Ddlack ants get into her box,’’ and looking down discovers that her stool is directly over an ant hill, whereupon she screams. jumps up, as she would over a mouse in her boudoir, upsets her paint box, and gives her skirts a vigorous shaking. When all have settled down again the class begins to put in the trees. ‘want to put in vey gray trees, such as they - have seen and mired in effect only on the fine canvases in the museum but nice bright green ones.

MACON, Mo., June 12.—A number of the Missouri cities have been writing with laud- able pride about their beautiful young women through the Sunday Post-Dispatch. The claims of other cities have been so strongly set forth that the matter has been taken as a challenge. But whether the boasting claims of other cities have been really intended for challenges or not, now comes Macon, the “City of Maples,’’ and presents a list including nine portraits, and issues a direct challenge to all the cities in all the land to equal it for accomplished, re- fined and beautiful young women. For more than a quarter of a century it has been the remark and acknowledgment of this and a 4 adjoining States that this healthy and at«| tractive city contained more women who possessed the elements required to make genuine beauty than any other city of Ma- con’s size, and its representation in this re- gard has been continually increasing. It is also a matter of great significance, attributable directly to Macon’s beautiful and accomplished daughters, to mention the fact that there are an exceedingly smal] per cent of them who remain single long enough ,to ever be given the title of ‘‘old maid.’’ Miss Jessie Willis, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry 8. Willis, has dark brown hair and brown eyes. Her complexion is fair and clear. Miss Willis’ eyebrows are prominent and a shade darker than her hatr. She is rather tall and slender.

Miss Sandusky is tall and graceful and of admirable figure. She is a prominent member of the rot Church Seuth. choir and sings con- tralto. Miss Irene Brookbank, daughter of James C.

(Copyright, 1895, by Press Pub. Co.) ; LONDON, June 15.—The gossip of last: autumn concerning the prospective engage- ment of the Duke of Marlborough to Miss. Consuela Vanderbilt has been revived this week by the presence of the young Duke twice during the past fortnight in Mrs. Vanderbilt's box at the opera. Mrs. and Miss Vanderbilt are much in society, and on unday last were of a gay party on the river in the steam launch Ripple. The Duke's one absorbing passion is for hunting, al- though it is understood he is 77 t from starting a racing stable by his pov- erty. Now that the Valkyrie III. is complete- ly equipped, Clyde yachting experts agree that she will prove the greatest flyer ever launched in English waters. They obvi- ously e ct she will capture the American: cup, and are disposed to mit that if she fails British yachtsmen may practically abandon hope of ever regaining the trophy. Watson speaks modestly of her merits, though he is flattered out of his customary reserve by the chorus of admiration wit which she has been received on the Clyde. Her spars are so numerous that yachtsmen here fear the fact of a possibility of weak- ness. Ailsea with much smaller spars has been in trouble with them more than once, and Watson’s resources will be taxed to the uttermost to supply gear and rigging suf- perenuly strong to withstand the tremendous strain. Though Banquet II. was badly beaten in the Manchester eup race, experienced race- goers are convinced he was not intended to do his best in that race, and that he is in reality a fiyer of high class. He is now being favorably treated in betting for the Czarewitch and Cambridgeshire, two great classic races which close the Egglish turf season. Gustav Amberg writes me that Abbey and Grau to-day signed a contract with him for a five weeks’ season in America next October of the Schliersee Theatrical Co., which has been attracting so much notice in Germany and Austria of late. It is alj- leged that every one of its fifty members are of rman peasant class. They produce some eighteen plays, all of which, I under- stand, deal with peasant life. A controversy of interest to all magazine editors and contributors is exciting the London literary world. A lady writi un- der the name of Erskine Gower has printed many pers minor poems in periodicals here. She is known to be a person of very high rank, and report makes her either the young Duchess of Sutherland or a beau- tiful lady. Jersey Realm, edited by Lady Colin Campbell, recently printed a poem of six stanzas signed by Erskine Gower, but someone in authority there saw fit to alter several of the lines. *‘Hold out your hand” became ‘hold forth your hand.” ‘‘To danc- ing crests of foam, On inky shades” be- came “till dancing crests foam upon inky shades.” “‘The wind blows fresh,” words any Sailor would use, became “the wind blows keen,"’ a hopeless ldnd lubber’s expression. “To-day is May,’ became. “farewell to May” The last named change: was par- ticularly galling to the writer, with good reason, since the vache ga phrase was: **‘Look up for hope and greet the summer’s Bese to-day is May; to-morrow will: be une.”’ & Ambassador Bayard has for fellow-guests on Sir John Pender’s yacht during the Kiel ceremonies, Viscount Peel, late Speak- r of the House of Commons, and General rd Wolseley. Old Irish quarrels are apparently being forgotten in the House of Commons. A few ‘weeks ago O’Donovan Rossa was escorted through the House by Henry Matthews, once the most hated of Tory officials in Ireland, and.on Thursday Samuel Hussey of Tralee, once the best hated land agent in Kerry, whose life has been threatened often, and more than once attempted by litical conspirators, was a visitor to the ouse. and his guide was Jeremiah Shee- han, nationalist member for Killarney, who has often denounced Hussey in Parliament and out. Meanwhile, however, the fight between the O’Brien and Healey elements grows bitterer day by day, and Chance, the Solicitor who has forced O’Brien into bankruptcy and resigned from Parliament, has brought suit for libel against the Free- man’s Journal. Le Siecle of Paris says that a few days revious to the Queensberry case Oscar iide had completed a new comedy enti- tiled “Friends.’’ The Italian actor Signor Ermete Zaccone, has just purchased the right to representation, and will intro- duce the comedy before a Milan audience at the commencement of the autumn sea- s0n.

Harding were cs mage admin- istrators in the Payton Harding estate, the bachelor hermit of Cass County who was found dead at his country home, June 2. The estate includes about 250 acres of land and some personal property, in all amount- ing to $27,000. The appraisers ‘in taking an inventory found $190 in gold sewed up in an old boot leg hanging upon the ‘wall, with a funnel overhanging same. Deceased Was a very eccentric man and delighted in hoarding money, and a few years ago he buried $2,300 in a fruit jar near his house, but it afterwards disappeared in a very sate manner, and it is thought more uried gold will be unearthed before the estate is finally settled.

NEW YORK, June 15.—An evening paper has the following cable from London: - Developments since the cabinet council on Tuesday indi¢ate that the Government has decided on taking some action against the Porte. The communications sent to Russia and France by the Foreign Office urge the necessity of a formidabje naval demonstra- tion in the Bosphorus without delay. The suggestions made by Russia and France that @ conference of the powers be held do not suit, as-they are not in the line of Lord “Rosebery’s policy. It is plain that the Pre- “mter either wants to have Great Britain ‘Committed to a strong and practical policy of pro-Armenian intervention before the con- sefvatives get into office, or else he per- .Ceives that a conference of the powers might fentrap England into a discussion of the yasetton of her occupation of E t. The ormer might be desirable to the Liberals, but the latter would not be welcomed by wy Derty in the Kingdom. e Speaker, in an article ostensibly based on information received from Constantino- ple, but really inspired by a cabinet minister, declares that a combined demonstration of the powers is the only feasible and proper method of dealing with the Porte. The article declares that the Sultan is not the sole master of the situation, as ig generally be- lieved. Aceording to this statement he had actually prepared a reply to the identica) note of the powers accepting the terms laid down by them when he received warning that if he persisted in the course indicated by his reply he would unquestionably meet the fate of his uncle, Sultan Abdul Aziz. Heeding the warning he withdrew his an- swer. Abdul Hamed II. is believed to be a liberal- minded man and eager to bring Turkey more or less into line with the Western powers, both in internal improvements and in foreign relations, and it was generally supposed that he would afford every assistance to the European commission of inquiry into the condition of the Asiatic provinces, notably Armenia, until a sudden change of front occurred, and the Europeans were virtually told that it was none of their business and that no heed would be paid at the palace to any reports except those rendered by Tur- kish officials. The Sultan is under the thumb practically of the corrupt and selfish ring of politicians who rule the Empire. EAST ST. LOUIS NEWS.

These gentlemen were Theodore Presser, T, C. O'Kane, N. Coe Stewart, . H. Dana, J. Addison Brown, Cc. C. Case, W. B. Colon, Jr., N. L. Glover, B. F. Rice, Karl Merz, Dr. Geo. F. Root, Frederick W.

A constitution and by-laws were adopted and the associatiow placed upon a firm footing. Each year afterwards a con- vention was held, and the membership con- stantly increased. While soma mistakes were made, the general progress of the as- sociation was so rapid that in 1888 the mem- bership had increased to 1,649, embracing representatives of every State in the Union. he good done by the association became ‘ (hija) Abhi) WH Wf, VY i'd ALBERT A.

The M. T. N. A. was instrumental! in bringing the following erican composers to the front: Arthur Foote, Wilson G. Smith, J. H. Beck, 8. G. Pratt, William Mason, J. K. Paine, Dudley Buck; W. H. Sherwood, G. W. Chadwick, WwW. W. Gilchrist, E. Liebling, F. G. Gleason, C. Sternberg, W. Burr, Jr., R. Goldbeck, Otto Floersheim, A. A. BStanley, J. C. D. Parker, Arthur Bird, E. 8S. Kelley, A.

R; Kroeger, H. A. Clarke, C. W. Combs, Helen .Hood, A. Koelling, J. H. Hahn, M. Vogrich, H. Schoenfeld, A. R. Parsons, Carl Busch. The works of many of these composers are published by the great foreign publishing houses, and their names are frequently met with on pro- grammes in every city in the country. The value resulting from social and musi- cal intercourse at these conventions is truly great. Teachers living in widely separated districts are brought together and in relating their experiences find means in healthy argument to remove many dif- ficulties from their labors. One feature always remarkable at these conventions is the large number of women present, In- deed, the women outnumber the men, and in every respect equal them in the keen interest given to the proceedings. They come from small villages as well as large cities, and when they return home they are eager to put into practice the ideas gleamed at the conventions. ALFRESCO AMUSEMENTS. Offerings for the Week at the Sammer Amusement Resorts. The Union Trust Roof Garden and Casino is favored by the powers that be; better weather for an alfresco entertainment could not have been made to order. The bill pre- sented during the past week was exceeding- ly pieesing, and many of the better features will be retained for the coming week, with enough new ones added to give variety to next week’s bill. The prac attraction will be Constanz and Ida, the great equil- ibrists from the Folie Bergerie, Paris. Among the wonderful things done by this lady and gentleman is where M. Constanz, while in an inverted position, holdg one end of a siack wire in his mouth, the other being fastened to an upright, and upon this Mile. Ida performs the usual evolutions of a slack wire performer. Edward Latell, the amusing musical artist, is another of the features, and Miss Georgie Girard, a pretty woman with a delightful contralto voice, is another of the new comers. Dan Mason, who scored such a big hit during the past week, will present another new mono- logue. Lincoln Elwood, whose make-up and voice is so like a woman's, has also been retained. Among the other features of last week’s bill to be seen again are George Melville, the comic juggler; Ford and Fran- cis, the operatic sketch artists; the Midgleys in an entirely new act, and Maynord and Tennent, the society entertainers. The pop- ular priced performances, Saturday matinee and Sunday evening are proving a big suc- cess, the matinee yesterday being well pat- ronized despite the heat. Damrosch Opera Prospects. Mr. Walter Damrosch, gncouraged by the great success of his Wagner opera season this spring, has decided to give a five- months’ season next year, opening Nov. 18 in Chicago and visiting all the principal cities of the country from Boston to New Orleans and San Francisco, the New York engagement being for three weeks in March, either at the Metropolitan Opcra-house or the Academy of Music. The venture will be on a much more elab- orate scale than last year, the list of artists already en assuring first-class produc- tions. Among them are Frau Katharine Klafsky of Hamburg and Frl. Ternina of Munich, thé two greatest dramatic sopranos of Germany to-day; Fri. Johanna Gadski, who became such a favorite with the com- pany last year; Herr Wilhelm Gruening, the great tenor from Hamburg, probably the best exponent of the heroic tenor foles in Germany to-day; Demeter ~Popovici, the baritone, who achieved such remarkable success in Bayreuth last summer; Herr Emil Fischer and Herr Conrad Behrens, the two reliable W erian singers of last year’s company; Mr. Wm. Mertens, a noted young baritone of New York; Miss Nina Schilling and Miss Marie Maurer of last year’s com- pany, and Mr. Barron Barthaild, the young tenor who so successfully essayed the part of Lohengrin in Boston upon such short notice. Negotiations are also pending with Herr Rothmuhl, the tenor of last season; a famous baritone; also a well-known prima donna, which will complete the list of prin- cipals, and the company will number in all 170 people. Herr Carl Harder will be the stage man- ager as before, and the company will carry scenery for all the operas, now being painted by Kautski of Vienna. In addition to the seven music dramas given last year (Tristan and Isolde, Die Walkure, Siegfried, Die Got- terdammerung, Tannhauser, Lohengrin and Die Meistersinger), the compan will also ive “The Flying Dutchman,” ‘Fidelio’ (by eethoven), “Der Frieschutz’’ (by Weber), and “The Scarlet Letter” (in English, by Walter Damrosch), an opera founded on Hawthorne’s great romance. “Olivette”’ at the Cave. “Olivette”’ will be presented at the Cave this week with a powerful cast, bringin every principal into prominence. A fy! chorus will also be employed. Director peneee promiges an attractive presentation this popular opera during the entire week eginning Sunday night.

The Clash On in a Down-Town Building a Hopeless One, The janitor of a large down-town build- ing is a German and the engineer of Celtic origin, and there is the inevitable clash of authority. The janitor, who has not been in America long enough to speak the best of English, told his story Saturday to a reporter in this way: “Dot vellow he makes me dired. Alvays he sais he ghets down by der en- gines efery morning by fife o’glock. I say he aind so, ant ve ghet in some argumends. Vell I fix him.

NEW YORK, June 15.—The following London news is from an afternoon paper: The British public has been looking with. the greatest interest at the American uni- forms in that exciting melodrama, “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” now drawing crowded’ houses at the Adelphi, and the opinion of all sensible people ‘fs that for practical life they are superior to the dress. of the English army.

How I managed to get there and escape the all- seeing eye of the great Augustus As a story I shall never reveal. ‘1. was di ised and traveled incognito. Your correspondent has many incognitos, and‘ for the first hour or two he passed as St. Ta "s foster brother. As such he was admitted to the superior artist's table, and three boards were laid for the refection of the company. In the audience chamber sat the chorus and stage workmen, in the pres- ence chamber were mustered “the band, and in another gorgeous chamber in which Ambassadors linger on ordinary occasions, and which among other things is adorned by a sideboard valued at something like $100,000, was the table of the artists. We were not given dinner, we had to sing, and our throats: had to be sustained in their proper melodious condition, and. so my first taste of her gracious Majesty’s hos- pitality consisted of tea, coffee, boiled One®, sandwiches, marmalade and cake, A de- canter or two of claret’'and burgundy were for those who fotind tea too strong. We then wandered for the hour or so while her Majesty was dining on the castle terrace and smoked, and then the time came for us to dress. The dressing-rooms were in magnificent chamber of audience, where harig the banners of all the Knights of the Garter since the time when go King Ed- ward of the clean conscience founded that order of knighthood. Two acts had to pass before your correspondent became operatic super, and had an opportunity of going on the stage, which was erected in the Waterloo Chamber, that magnificent apartment adorned with’ the portraits of the Generals who have made England’s glory during the last century. Finally, with a spear, surmounted by a hatchet, and made up with beard in most ruffianly semblance to one of the portraits of King John, I marched on with a com- pany of guards and listened to the wretched gypsy mother denouncing the wicked Count. No, I did not listen, my eyes were too busy. There in front of me, just beyond the flower hidden orchestra, sat the great Majesty of the British Empire, a swéet, dear little old lady, in her widow's cap and with her arm leaning on the little round table beside her. There are no pictures that do the Queen justice in her old age.. There is somethin 80 perfectly beautiful, so serenely good, an withal so majestic in her features that no photographer and no artist has been able to portray them of late years. It was indeed a most memorable sight, to think that that genttle, frail woman had for over a half century been the greatest woman on earth, and that she held the first place amon countless millions of her fellow souls, an that, in her was concentrated all the ances- try of the Norman conqueror, of the Pian- tagenets, of the Tudors and Stuarts. On either side of her were the Princesses Louise, Christian and Margaret of Con- naught, and on the left of his mother’s chair sat the Duke of Connaught in his full uni- form as General of the British Army. dozen gentlemen of the court, a handful of officers of the army and navy, a score of ladies who have. the honor of being her Ma- jesty’s personal friends, the household of the castle, and some favored servants in the gashery mtacdanengeys | the hall formed the au- lence, perhaps a hundred poor in all, but the opera was given as perfectly and as ful- ly as the minfature stage would permit. At the conclusion of the performance dinner was served to the whole company and once again, this time, attired in evening clothes I posed as the tenor’s foster brother. Dinner, or supper, if you like to call it, was served punctually at midnight, and con- sisted of soup, hot cutlets, chickens (served with bread sauce in the English fashion), inds of wine and a famous brand of omen ae which a special vintage is reserved for the Queen’s use. At supper we were joined by one or two members of the household, iIncludin Her Majesty’s Private Secretary, .Col. Bigge, Lord Edward Pelham Clinton, Lord in Waiting, and one of the chamberlains, who wore an enormous key fastened to a wide blue ribbon on his right hip. Sir Augustus Harris, in full court dress, took Queen’s health, which we drank with cheers, and then the presents to the —- ers were brought in by another gentleman in waiting, and consisted of a silver box to contain tobacco and cigarettes for Tamagno a gold cigarette case, with a V. R. in dia- monds for Pessina, the baritone, a winged figure in diamonds and pearls for Miss Mac- Intyre, a brooch in P pate and turquois for Miss Giulai Ray and cigarette cases, sleeve links and other pretty trifies for the remaining members of the company.

The bears are still fghting hard for con- trol of the wheat market and just now they appear to have it pretty well in hand. But no one can tell what a day may bring forth. Several times last week they appeared to have the market running their way, and just when it appeared they had the market it had them. The speculative situation is about as follows: The bulls have their lines of long wheat and are 4 ding upon a factor to advance prices that lost most its power, having ly aiming prices to a lower level in order may be able to purchase ch is where their weakness lies. are bulls at heart and believe in much higher prices. the undesirable strength of the situation, and ‘ when it happens that in selling the market down it becomes oversold, any strc news frightens the life or nerve out of them and they try to cover all at once. Ther comes a flare up in price and all their hard work of days, perhaps, is lost in a few minutes. That is the kind of market we have had for two weeks. Yesterday it was not, for the tendency was all one way and between longs selling out and shorts pound- ing prices a big drop in the market was seen. On the “‘curb’’ July sold at c and Sentember at 74%c, declines from the pre- ceding Saturday of 7%c and over 8c below the highest price touched on the late ad- vance. * s 8 These bears, with underlying bullish -eenti- ments, may hammer the market. favoring conditions until they get it so heavy and the er meer a so one-sided that they will, them- elves, become really bearfsh—in fact, creat- ing bearish sentiment where they only look- e2 for lower prices to get along on. Liquida- tion by the present longs, more particularly the country, is what is aimed at principally. It will be remembered that around 0c it was confidently expected that liquidation of the May option would drive the price nod saw at to 45c. Well, the May option was liquidated, but it was the bears who did the liquidating and most of that at and above History sometimes repeats itself and liquidation of “ent July option might be by other than the ulls. The July longs are expected to run away from the cash wheat, just as it was ex- a the May longs were expected too. he latter had nearly 2,000,000 bu confronting them and they took it in and paid for it, selling the cash at a handsome profit, they took profits of 2c to 3c out of their long contracts. Now there is not over 100, bu really in stock here and the probabilities do not favor any such tremendous receipts next month, nor that the wheat arriving here will be available for delivery on contracts. Be- sides the competition of outside markets— Chicago, Toledo and Kansas City—there will be the outside millers and warehouses con- testing for supplies, of which they have heen bare so long. Everything indicates unusually sharp competition for the new crop when it begins moving to market. And when it ar- rives here there will hardly be the onesided demand that for several seasons has taken most the new wheat. Accumulative buyers may have the local millers competi offerings; and the latter can hardly volume of past seasons. of the Of late some rather more favorable reports have been coming in on the winter wheat crop. They were not numerous, but the ad- vices had been so uniformly unfavorable that anything at all for the better had ‘in- stant and decided effect. It would be strange, indeed, if the yield in certain favored sec- tions was not far above the aver of the generally poor eg oy: In some localities of this State, which, by the way, will proha- bly raise more wheat than most of the big surplus States, a fair to good yield is prob- able. That is the case in a lesser degree with other States, but the fact remains that the greater portion of the winter wheat arc® east of the Rockies will not average even half a crop. ° According to Secretary Morton the June estimate of the Department of Agriculture indicates a crop of 400,000,000 bu. This esti- mate is undoubtedly nearer correct than the guesses of publications that have no such means of arriving at correct results as the Government, with its extensive and well- trained corps of correspondents. It must be conceded that last year’s final report of the Government placing the yield at 460,- 000,000 bu was much nearer the actugl yield than the 500,000,000 bu or more guesses of the Cincinnati Price Current, the Prairie Farmer; Bradstreet’s, et al. This country would not now be so near the verge of ex- haustion of supplies as it is, if the 1894 crop had been 500,000,000 bu, not to speak of a larger amount. With 50,000,000 bu last July in the visible 50,000,000 bu more in private and country warehouses and on the Pacific Coast and 100,000,000 bu carried over on the farms, there would then have been 700,000,- 000 bu to supply this country’s requirements and for export for a year. Unless there was a‘much larger amount fed to animals than the Government reported (and the bears then said was nonsensically out of propor- tion with the actual amount fed), some of this wheat must have slipped out of sight very mysteriously. Taking domestic re- quirements of 375,000,000 bu, exports of 145,- 000,000 bu to July 1, fed to animals 76,000,000 bu and amount available July 1 provably 55,000,000 bu, there is 660,000,000 bu out of 700,000,000 bu, which would leave 60,000,000 bu in country reserves July 1. Does anyone believe there will be or was two months ago that amount? So if last year’s crop was 460,000,000 bu as the Gov- -ermament reported, this year’s crop is at least 60,000,000 bu less. The cash market has been well maintained in price most of the week, though it was Offerings were small, yet more than aaah. Yesterday morning 128,500 bu was on hand—121,000 bu of this No. 2 sned—a reduc- tion so far for week of 32,300 bu. The high- est prices so far paid for cash was Sc for No. 2 red in elevator and 87%c for fancy samples last Wednesday. Yesterday No. 2 red could have been bought at 8c and the best samples sold at 80G@8ic. Though the next corn crop is many months off and is very far-from being secured, yet already is its prospective immensity over- shadowing and weighing upon the market. Hardly a complaint is heard from the grow- ing crop and then the only unfavorable stateme come from the drought district east of | agg cornet that the plant is sulferi m too much dry hot weather West of the river, from the extreme South to the extreme od Yo there is but one cry, “Splendid prospecfts!"" So enormous is the acreage planted this year that a considera- ble proportion of the crop could be lost and et the yleld be up to an average. There as been a decline of 5c in price since last Saturday, on yesterday's “curb” July hay- ing sellers at 45c and Sept. at 47c. The. market has worked duw~ to a level BB the oorn ie wanted and sales to the tc markets and to the interior points have Duan made to a fair extent. Country ) he've let up very decidedly, too, and receipts et tke primary markets have shown that ang 9 very plainly. F ers and other country holders will hardly be free liers in sections ‘where all other crops are t failures, especially fodder, oats, hay, and meadows. And these crop failures are gust where the corn ig held—east of the river.

Some advices are coming from the West of rains delaying wheat harvest, the fields be- ing too soft to work in. cm * Joe Linebarger of H. Linebarger & Co., Chicago, was on ’Change yesterday. Joe is dceing well with his new house in the great speculative center, and besides that is actu- ally growing fat. . = * Frank Woodlock tells of a pit trader who came to him.after one of the sharp breaks in wheat last week and remarked with a well satisfied air, ‘“‘Well, I have put my line out.”” That evening, with wheat 2 cents higher, Frank met the same party and asked him what had become of his line. “Oh,” said the erstwhile confident. one, “that was only a trot line. I took it in this evening.’”’ a = . Estimates are for 1,500,000 to 2,000,000. bu decrease in the wheat visible and should be nearer the outside, says the Daily Com- mercial Bulletin. St. Louis stock should de- crease about 50,000 bu, Chicago over 800,000, Minneapolis and Duluth 700, and the sea- board ,000 bu. One year ago the decrease was 1,000,00 bu. A small decrease is prob- able in the visible of corn. One year ago it was reduced 460,000 ‘bu. | The Financial Chronicle of yesterday says of cotton: “*Total port receipts, 7,3816,- bales; total visible, 8,544,755; American visible, 3,111,545; net oOvermnd movement, 1,092,654; intesfor stocks in excess of last ear, 18,820; Northern spiners’ takings, 1,- ,908; Southern consumption, 669,000; ex- ports, 6,567,756; total in sig! t, 9,587,132 bales.”’ During May the exports of flour and wheat from the country were equivalent to 18,173,868 bu, against 12,257,751 same month last year, and for eleven months ending May 31 were 133,718,000 bu, against 153,547,500 for same period last season. Corn exports for May were 4,152,647 bu, against 3,690,854 same month last year, and since July 1 last .423,000 bu, against 60,693,000 same period last season. * * . The BE. Goddard & Sons Flour Mill Co. exhibited on ‘Change yeucerday samples of straight and patent flour of their best make, manufactured from new wheat. This is the earliest new wheat flour ever turned out by a St. Louis mill. The flour was made from the Missouri wheat received here last Thursday anti sold at $1 per bu. Two our were sold to Bodenheim, Co. at $4 for straight and $4.25 for patent flour. Paes ‘“Tincle Dan’’ Hodgkins writes from Eldred Station, IIL, to J. B. M. Kehlor & Co.: Since writing you this morning I have just returned from a trip down the bluff to Ma- coupin Creek and i find the farmers all along the road are cutting wheat, and as their crops are generally small this seanson, most of the wheat under the bluff will be cut by the middle of next week. Some of the larg- est farmers who had 100 acres or more of wheat last season did og 3 sow any wheat this season and some has been plowed up, s0 that now it is certain that there will not be over half as much wheat in this section as the prospect was for four weeks ago, as it now develops that many of the best pieces that four weeks ago iooxed good for at least 25 bushels r acre will not turn out over & to 12 bushels. The falling off has been caused by frost and chinch bugs.

A big as See s merchant here ship, with. prospects for a supply that prom- ises to be not only small, but poor. Just north .of there, at four different sections in Mississippi, tomatoes are loaded dally by the car for shipment to northern markets. St, Louis has been getting about three car loads daily the past week from Mississippi. © « Arkansas, Tennessee and Misstssippi have ‘been shipping some very poor peaches, ap- ples and plums to this market. Not in years have the offerings of such fruits from the States named. been so inferior. .This sea- son being the first in four years in which the fruit crop is general, low prices are assured in every market and only the finest fruits will afford a margin to shippers. The poor stuff benefits the express and transportation companies only, a fact ship- papers should make a note of. at Mobile, Ala., writes The drought is being severely felt by the farmers and fruit growers of St. Louis County, and if a rain does not materialize soon, many of them declare they will have but very little to market. One man who was on the street yesterday said he could remove from the face of the earth a field of timothy he has by the aid of a single match. The’ growth and development of apples, peaches and other fruits have been checked and everything in sight is suffering for rain. * . . He was a tall sunburnt man from Arkan- sas and was relating his experience to:a produce operator. He said he was shipping potatoes for years, and.by the car load, too, and as a trader and shipper was daily learning something brand new. His remin- iscences ‘of this character were rich and varied, but the climax was capped he said by a fellow he shipped a car to last week up North. He said the car was thrown up on account of the color of the lock. ‘The idea of sending me a car with a red lock on it when I never used anything but a black one,’’ carne back from the would-be buyer, with withering irony, fo the shipper. The produce quarters were crowded all week with a eat variety of fruits and vegetables, and prices have been steadily on the decline on nearly all commodities. New potatoes have, however, held their own the past few days, and the receipts have not been as large all week as were ex- pected. The old potatoes are not declining, mainly because the demand for old sto for planting the late crop lately was prob- ably the largest ever known at this stage of the season. The heavy late planting shows how badly damaged in this section has been the early potato crop. The scarcity and high prices of string beans during the early part of the week precipitated a regular run in all the big lots offered Yor several days. Friday morn- ing disclosed a regular Waterloo for many of the big purchasers. The market went to pieces, and the wild efforts to unload led to cutting down prices to half cost. The paral cars shipped to outside markets didn’t half save them. “To think that a man who has been wrestling with his stuff here on the street for nearly twenty years should deliberately y $1.10 a box for a block of beans and then be buying to place them next day for 2% cents a box makes me sick,’’ exclaimed one of the most cautious investors on the street. Hundreds of acres are being purchased every week, not far from Mobile, Ala., by a number of private parties and several syndicates. The lands being bought of late so freely are in a large tract just on the east side of Mobile Bay, where it is learned the fruit grower and track farmer will find himself ten to twenty days ahead of his rivals in business around Mobile. Many of the newcomers are from Ohio and several have come from California. The new crops will be largely peaches, grapes and pears, the land and location being, it is said, admirably adapted to these crops; one syndicate purchased 3,000 acres, and they are after 4,000 more—all intended for the cultivation of fruits and vegetables. It is close to Pensacola and fully as early. COTTON. Local market quiet; no sales reported.

We don’t care if it’s a gully washer or trash mover or a preacher's rain (a drizzel drozzel), anything in the way of rain.

Corn on the hill lands is about all gone up the spout. On the level lands corn looks very well yet, but needs rain badly, as now and then a hill of corn is dead and more turning yellow. The height of the corn is very low for the time of year. It is now from three to seven inches high, except some two or three fields the frost did not hurt. In plowing corn the cultivators’ shovels will hardly throw up any moist dirt, and it’s almost like running the cultivator in a dry road in the dust. The oat crop we have had has bid us adieu.

Conserva- tive operators urge that there will be. some important surplus, however small, that prices here cannot be maintained at that price, which will render shipments impossible, as the recent price seems to have done. So there was a general disposition to get rid of long. stuff and the liquidation was enormous. ’ ve “Stop loss orders and exhausted margins with victims short selling by the local tal- ent helped along the downward tendency and completed the rout of the bulls, Crop news also seems to be shifting more favora- bly for the bears and advices were numerous tending to indicate a fair crop. The corn market was fairly active and very weak. It was not as weak as wheat, but suffered a break of 1%c per bushel, which would ordinarily be considered a dis- astrous loss to make in corn for one day. The tail end of a short crop year has not as a rule any attraction for short selling among the experienced speculators, but the present prospects for next crop are proving too alluring and some of them are puttin out feelers on the short side. July open at from 49%c to 49%c, as against Wc at the close yesterday, and after recovering t» c, it slumped to 48\%c, which was its value at the close. For a Saturday, trading in the oats mar- ket was active and business aggregated comparatively heavy. Considerable lon stuff continued to be offered, mostly in sma lots, was consumed quite readily by the crowd in general. Reports of good crop condition were mainly influential in causin lower values. The decline in wheat an corn prices was also regarded as effective in reducing values. September ranged from c, resting at the low price—a since yesterday. The, provision market. started weak, in sympathy with ‘the drop in grain prices, but closed strong on some good buying, which, however, was principally due to the covering of shorts. The weakness in wheat eter “eae a good deal of pork, lard and ribs ng bought without sending prices up very materially and the shorts bought upon such an. expectation. fter a a ocr decline of 5c in pork and about 2%c in the other articles, the prices advanced, until compared with its rice yesterday pork was higher, lard ome 26. ke ue ana she from c to 10c at: advance. eipts Monday estimated Wheat, cars; corn, 300 cars; oats, 210 cars. 25,000 head; for the week, 125,000 head.

MASCOUTAH, Iil., June 15.—The growing wheat crop matured with wonderful rapid- ity during the past week and the harvest commenced in this section yesterday. The reports from the farmers indicate that the damage to the wheat crop has been far eater than it was supposed a week o. any fields are not worth harvesting, and it appears certain that the general yield in this section will not be above one-third of an average crop. The farmers are very much discouraged with the outlook, and it is likely that there will be a big decrease in the acreage sown with wheat this fall. LUDLOW, Mo., June 15.—Wheat harvest just begun here shows that while there will not be a large crop harvested, yet the quality will be the st known for many years. One farmer said that he had raised a great many wheat crops, but in all his life’s experience he had not seen wheat as well ‘‘filled’”’ as at present. BBNTON, Ill, June 15.—The first rain of any consequence that fell in this section for weeks began this morning at 7 o’clock and at 12 is still falling. Corn been benefited immensely, but has already been injured by drought to some extent. MARION, IL, June 165.—The long dry spell that has hung over Egypt for two months was broken early this morning by a general rain. It was badly needed, for the pasture was dry enough to burn, the creeks were drying up and stock water becoming very scarce. he showers which have been com- me down all ~~ IRGINIA, Ill of this section. AVISTON, IIL, June 15.—The farmers in this vicinity have commenced cutti wheat. Owing to the weather chinch bugs it is very light, and from all re- ports will not make over an average of one-third crop. If we do not get a deal of rain during the next two there will be a very light: crop. corn is late and ee | late frosts.

It is now .recognized that the general situation Must grow up to the market, that definite assurances must. be had as to.the crops, and that such cannot be had now; that busi- ness must show more pronounced improve-. ment; that the bankrupt corporations must be reorganized; that all those matters, in _ghort, which*heretoforg@ have been taken for granted, must now bé actually accom- lished. A mutch more logical stock mar- t may be expected to-result from this cooling off of an overheated sentiment, and, therefore, a much safer one. There is, after all, a‘top to the market, and prices cannot go.on forever soaring up- ward, however pleasing it would be to the ordinary operator in stocks. The general situation is greatly improved since March, but the stock market is also much higher since then. New incentives are now needed to revivify the spirit of speculation, for the bond syndicate will not be with us always. At the same time there are absolutely no reasons to expect that the revolution in sentiment, which is after all the most im- -pertant change in the situation, will be re- ‘ versed or that the temper of the public will again relapse into the condition in which it was prior to the change which took; place following the adjournment of Cougress, and the execution of the Govern- ment bond contract, The stock. market for the week closing to-day has made further progress upward, and°to-day through its increased activity has shown pleasantly by contrast with its immediate predecessors. The chief develop- ment to influence was the Government crop report which, so far as it is valuable at this séason of the year, was an encouraging showing, correcting as it did the grossly exaggerated reports of damage previously current and accepted as facts, It is to be noted also that. the market has no sup- port worth speaking of from foreign buy- ing, and the tendency has been rather in the other direction. It is interesting to observe that the European markets all appear to be undergoing also a reaction in activity similar to that evident in the home stock market. No changes have occurred in either the peer or way wey en headanter nrg week. ormer, greatly to, sgust of money leidoner shows no signs of Taaptovement, and the permanent nature of the present condition shown by the willingness of bankers td make loans at present rates ex- tending far into the fall. As an evidence of active business the cheapness of money is a bad sign, but with the revival of confidence it is a very im- portant influence in the stock market. Dis- cussion of the exchange market is still futile, owing to the fact that being still under the control of the bond syndicate, its character is more or less artificial, and to a great extent inexplicable, except to the managers of the syndicate. The Post says: -As not infrequently happens to-day’s half holiday market was nothing more than a summing up of the week’s professional speculation. All the peculiar characteristics of the week were ‘ present, and the excited plunges in every direction of petty gamblers in Chicago Gas were an especially proper conclusion to the week's absurdities. In the general market nothing developed worth remark. The tendency of' prices was again towards a higher level, and this despite some Lon- don selling and a good deal of local profit taking. Grangers continued to reflect the improving outlook for the crops, and this in the prospect was emphasized as in wheat. Some of the minor ay such. as Tennessee Coal and thern preferred, made sure their note- worthy advances. ‘ CLOSE OF STOCKS. NEW YORK, June 15.—Following are the ¢losing tations of 10%/ U.

He refused to venture into the car and finally yielding to persuasion sent one of the hotel porters up in order that he might ses how it worked. Even this did not satisfy him, for , when the porter came down he sent his page | boy up. Whenthe boy came down he sent hisentire suite up. On their return they re- ported everything ali right, bet he was not satisfied even then. Pausing a moment, ke suddenly decided againstthe elevator and walked up the stairs. As for the Shahzada himself, he iva youse man whois taking things coolly and withal ° right royally. His dignity is amazing, de- spite the faet that he has been brought ap at & semi-Darbarous court, and that his mother wasasiave women of mean extraction. [ watched him atthe Agricuitural Halla day or twoago while he was watching tho per- formance of a military tournament. He sat in the royal box between the Prinee and Princess of Wales and seemed to be talking to her with as much gallantry as though he were one of the well-bDred Orleanist Princes sO prevalent Ip England just at thistime. In riding through the streets in his earriage he bows with graceful courtesy wherever hats are lifted to him, and that homage is gen- eral, and; in his features at least, he shows no surprise at the wonderfal sights which must constantly appear to him. True, fora few minutes his equanimity failed him, andthat was the other evening ata Dall given by one of the great Peeresses. The Ameer’s son was present with a lot of other royalties and he was especially re- ceived by the hostess and conducted up the grand staircase aad through the magnifi cent Grawing rooms to the seats reserved for per- sons of royalrank. The staircase was lined with beautiful women, as well as many who were not beautiful and mo longer young, and on either side of the room through which he passed were rows of curious ladies with their eyes on tne young foreigner. Of course they ceurtsied as he passed, and the Bumber and variety of bare shoulders that met his view seemed for-a moment te paralyze him with astonishment. He haited, turmed to one of the English Officers attached to his suite who spoke Per- sian, (the court language of Afghanistan), and exclaimed, ‘‘Is it possible, are ali these women undressed for me?’’ And the reply was given in atone of such rebuke that the Prince recovered himself and proceeded, bat until he reached his seat he Kept his eyes to the ground. I learned the particulars from one of the Shahzada’s officers, who also gave me one or two interesting particulars of the Ameer’s son. Hereally is more astonished and con- cermed at what he sees of the wonders and powers of England, and wher told that there are five or six other nations as power. fal, as civilized tp Europe, and a dozen more smaller powers, any one of which could cope martialiy with Afghanistan, he insisted on having some verses from the Koran read to him before he would allow the coaversa- tion to euontinue. Then the United States was mentioned to him, and it was explained . that there was a country, which was really a union of forty or more States. In which the English language was the universal lian- guage, and where upwards of 60.000,000 of ' people ifve independently of kings, princes and nobles. The comprehensior of the Afghan Prince seemed unable to grasp suel a situa- tion, for the only reply he made was that he hoped he would never go to seach an awful piace. The other dey I was writing about the Grosses and trains worn by the superior sex at her Majesty’s drawing room, and point- ing out the hardship itisto tke poorer half of the official world. A cognate subject is the cost of uniforms in England. An un- traveled American familiar only with the neat, piain uniforms of the United states regulars can scarcely concieve the extremes to which European uniformsare still pushed. One would tmagine that two suits, a full adress and undress, would be suffidient. Not so, the officer must have at least four suits, with divers head coverings and boots to mateh, TOBACCO OR HER SsKIRT. Why @ New York Woman Whacked & OChewer With Her Parasol. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 15.—There’ was an ex- citing little scone om the Fultom Street block across from the City Hall Park, Brooklyn, to-day. The participants were a mananda woman, aad the man had the worst of it. This block is a favorite resort about noon with men in the building business. The* Builders’ Exchange is located there, and a large amouat of Dusiness is transacted on the sidewalk. © men are not dudes. They get close together and talk loud without re- garda for passers by. Nota few of them have an evident rondness for tobacco chewing. For a lady to try to walk up the biock at thistime is distinctly uncomfortabie. To- day the crowd was at its thickest when a richly dressed woman attempted to pene- trate the phalanx of men and make her way up the street. She got along fairly well un- til she came to a group of mena talking hard on contracts and punctuating theif remarks with the frequent ejection of tobacco juice. Just asthe woman stepped in front of the group, a stream of tobacco juice came through the air and landed right oa the skirt of her gown. She halted, flusned scarlet andthen, withouta moment’s hesitation, she lifted her parasol and whaeked the guilty man smartly in the face, Then she walked hurriedly away. 2 — ————— TYPHOID FEVER. An _— of the Disease Prevails at Evansville. EVANSVILLE, Ind. , June 15.—Theepidemic of typhoid fever that has prevailed bere with varying intensity for several weeks, bas finally been checked by the efforts of the Board of Health and the city authorities, aided by a citizens’ committee of twenty- five, appointed to work In conjunction with them in remedying the sanitary conditions of the elty. The epidemic reached its highest point about four weeks age, when, for seven days 108 eases were reported to the health autborities. From that time the disease has gradually detreased until within the past three days there have been ne reports of new, cases. It is believed the epidemic arose from the water supply, whieh is drawn from ‘gn intake inthe river several hundred feet below the output ef a sewer and siough. The drainage from these has been diverted toa considerabie distance below the intake, and sinee the disease began te disappear as quickly almest as it showed ithelf. The - Dealth authorities now say that the disease is poveod eontrol, that no new cases are bein 2 , and that the city’s health at th poy better then it has been eg the a ~ . ie is & . ee é * "ies. . e , and the total expenses ay wi, i 090 vol. ‘jana th mand, such as ‘*Vanity Fair’’ and Monte Cristo.’ The average cest per Volume of all the books purchased was 97 cents. During the year 723 volumes were worn-out and 67 volumes were idst and paidfor. The Library was not opened free to the public until Jane; and itis only the last few moatis that can be taken as any criterion of the work that it is todo. The home issue, starting with 4,000 vol- umesin May, 1694, exceeded 40,000 volumes im March, 1895, and the total for the year was 1,426 volumes, which is four times the issue f ‘the previous year, The total issue of oks and periedicais was 587,418. Itis worthy of special note that of the 331,- books taken from the Library for home reading only three were not returned or paid for. This is a loss of less than one volume for every 1,000,000 circulated, Seven volumes issued for use in the library. rooms have not yet been found, making a total loss of ten volumes out of over haif a million books and perlodicais tssaded. This is less than the ratio ofloss ofthe Bosten Public Library for the last‘three years, The library was open every day in the year, including Sundaysand holidays. The average dally issue, faclading Suadays, was 1,622; excluding Sundays, 1, 713. City Hall Notes. J. W. Broeks, G. A. Witte and J.

Advices from Catersvilie, lll,, are that General Manager A. J. Morehead offered the men steady work during the summer if they would accept a temporary reduction of 10 per cent. The miners offered to accept a 7% per cent re- daction if the company would reduce their house rent and fuel. Mr. Merehead stated Saturday that his compaargy had accepted the men’s proposition unconditiosaally, aad that all their mines would be operating Monday. Sheriff and Jailer at Outs.

Two flash light photographs were taken at interesting moments of the seance, and these photographs are now reproduced with this account. ‘The seance was held in the back parlor of the house, No. 2704 Locust stréet. The medium was Mr. Hugh R. Moore. All that the reporter knows about Mr. Moore is that he is indorsed by the president of the St. Louis Spiritualists’ Association, and by other leading spiritualists, as a materializ- ing medium of rare power.

Mr. Moore, the medium, is quite a young man, with dark moustache, black eyes and a slender figure. His mediumistic wers are said to have been developed only recently. There were over 20 people present at the seance. The reporter knew some of them, but had not known until he met them in Medium Moore’s “circle’’ that they. were investigators of, or believers in spiritualism. Their names will not be used in this article. Many of the visitors seemed to have been stiadl attendants of these seances, and on friendly terms with some of the _ spirits. With the exception of the newspaper man, the members composing this especial ‘‘cir- cle’’ were undoubtedly firm believers in the phenomena of spiritualism. The seance lasted from 8 o'clock tn the evening until within 20 minutes of midnight. There were six materializations—that is ins w materialized disembodied spirit “‘de-materialized’’ at the door of the cabinet whence it came, the cause being “lack of power,”’ as explained by the me- dium. The spirit melted away as “melts away a figure on the screen of a magic lantern. Another spirit cut off a small piece re) a gop of white and gave it to the per- 0 th whom it had been talking.

The standing camera of the photozg- rapher who was to take flash;-light photo- graphs later in the evening was placed just within the folding doors tween the two parlors. It was understood that there was to b mo rapping or slate-writing or ghostly mu- sic-making, or anything of that sort. It was strictly a ‘“‘materializing seance,’’ which spiritualists declare to be the highest and rarest form of spiritual phenomena. With the exception of the materializations there were to be no other manifestations. More women than men were present in the “'cir- cle,”’ but the balance between the sexes wis almost equally maintained, which, th@ re- porter was told, is always to be destred if successful results are expected. The ‘circle’’ was silent, attentive and very earnest. It seemed to be composed—with the single ex- ception of the reporter—of those who had passed bey the stage of investigation and become firm believers. “Rock of Ages’’ was sung by the audi- ence, led by the. s@d-voiced contralto al- ready meritioned, when again the appear- ance of a white mist or cloud became vis- ble at the door. of the cabinet. Medium Moore arose. as before and placed himself One of the “‘sitters’’ in the circle,””’ who was visited by a materialized spirit, asked the latter if it would not cut off a fragment of its veil and give it to him. The request seemed to be complied with, the spirit re- tiring inte the cabinet for the purpOse, and the gentleman who was granted this favor told the Post-Dispatch reporter about it afterward. “When I had held the piece of veil in my hands for a little time,’’ he said, “‘it began to melt away. At first it had seemed a material fabric, but at the last it dis- appeared altogether and I held nothing at all between my fingers. There was a feel- ing of dampness on the tips of my fingers that had held the veil.’’ The spirit of “Ambrose’’ was one of the two subjects chosen for flash-light pho- tography. “Ambrose’”’ is the chemist in the other world, according to Medium Moore, with the aid of whose scientific knowledge the latter is enabled to bring back to earth in material form the disembodied spirits of those who have died. This operation is said to be purely chemical, some of the power and material being obtained in the spirit- world and some teken from this. It is also said that the same material is used over — — A DAUGHTER’S MATERIALIZED SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPHED BY FLASH- | LIGHT. x beside this cloud of trembling white. In | a little time it seemed to take solid shape and the form of a young girl, aepersnee not more than 15 years of age, could be dis- tinguished, clothed, as was the first, in trailing robes and veil. As before, this fig- ure moved away from the cabinet into the center of the circle, with the medium's arm soot her, and his hand clasping one of ers. “She wants you,’’ said Moore, speaking to some one in front of him in the shadows, and a@ woman arose and came forward. The next moment this woman gave a loud oy threw her arms around the neck of the white figure, and bowing her head, feil to sobbing almost hysterically. All the time she was _ the vague white figure, her hands tenderly passing down over ‘the veiled head and face to the shoul- ders, and trembling as they indulged in this caress. With broken voice she would talk to the figure, calling it by name, ask- ing loving little questions, and the figure answered In whispers. They, too, sat. down in the two chairs placed for urpose, and seemed to talk affectiona or some moments. No ore else of “circle” this the ied spirit of the woman's young ight who had died some years before. first instance, the figure arose ee lapse of some minutes, and, acéo j by the medium, approached the door of the cabinet, where it disappeared.

These atro- cities stand forth in the annals of Christen- dom as the very essence of cruelty, and as an instance of what the still uncivilized Turk is capable of accomplishing. The civilized world stood shocked and appalled and thé great powers of Europe Stepped in and began an investigation. Then followed a demand upon the Sultan of Turkey to put a stop to these atrocities and to institute such réforms in his brutal government as would forever end another butchery of his Armenian subjects. And now the blogdthirsty Turkish despot de- “fies all civilized Europe and refuses to in- terfere to prevént a repetition of the gerse- .cutions and horrors of Sassoun. The story, brutal as it is, and exhibiting in the minor telling of it a lust, rapine and violence that could hardly be imagined, is all the more remarkable because it is not war. Had the Armenians been fighting his majesty the Sultan and resisting his fana- tical troops, some shadow of excuse might there be. But, instead of ‘this, when the Turkish brigades appeared in the country the Armenian men and women ran to them like little children and gathered under what they thought were protecting wings against the ravages of the marauding, gavage hill tribes, the Kurds. A TALE OF TORTURE. Without a sign, without a signal, while the peasants were yet hailing them as the representatives of governmental authority and as the military delegates of their “monarch, the Turks cut and fired, cut and fired again. No novelist’s pen could depict a tale of torture half so graphically as comes down in the simple ungarnished state- ments of the few survivors that somehow made their way beyond the reach of bay- onet, bullet and sword. Im broad daylight the deeds were done. At Gawn the little villages of Semai, Shen- ik and Aval were attacked by Kurds and by Turkish soldiers disguised as moun- taineers There had been no provocation, no excuse even for retaliation. The day before a few Kurds had- stolen some of the villagers’. sheep, and the shepherds, natu- rally, hed engaged in a hand-to-hand con- flict with them to recover their property. Four to one the Hamidiehs, the Bakrant- lees, the Rishkotlees, the Khianlees and Zilanees, together with the disguised rtoops of the Sultan, outnumbered the Ar- menians. -In terror the latter fled, leaving in their alarm the old and wounded behind. It was then the atrocities began. It needed little discernment on the -part of the Turkish troops to perceive that the Kurds were not warriors at all. Throwing off all disguise, the soldiers the Sultan en- tered the villages, bayonet and sword in hand. The bugles sounded and the cannon boomed. BURNED AND BUTCHERED. With cries that were piteous, understand- ing nothing save that an awful calamity was now upon them, the old villagers who had been left behind came tumbling out of their houses as the soldiers with calm fe- rocity applied torch after torch to the build- ings. These old. peasants flung themselves tifully at the feet of even the common Pr idiors, crying ‘‘We are loyal! See! These are our tax receipts. We love the Turks. Oh, do take pity on us. Good God! Don’t burn us alive.” In the village of Semal hardly a peasant esca - that is to say, the peasants who eee ad and infirm. By the time the con- filagration had begun, the able-bodied men, women and children were well on their way in the surrounding country. It is a peculiar pathological fact that the Armenians are remarkably susceptible to fright. More than most people they are able to endure physical torture, but nervous terror drives them near to madness. It was a haif in- sane procession indeed that went flying through the country from the villages just commencing to burn up to Mount Andok, now made famous. The sound of the bugles and the sight of the Turkish soldiery with their charging bayonets made all their cour- age vanish. “Now, my lambs,”’ had said the command- ing officer of the Turks to the chiefs of the Kurdish tribes the day before the massacre, ‘4s your time. You can exterminate these of infidels.”” (It shoulé be remem- that the Armenians are Christians and not Moslems.) ‘‘We, who are Govern- ment soldiers, cannot conveniently do the work. Therefore do you set about it with- out delay. We will shield you from trouble when it is over, and put it down to one of the frequent fights between you and your vas- ba HED, THEN DIED IN TORTURE. as the Kurds had proved inefficient.

Soldiers surrounded the vil- lage and camp on every side and a shud- der of terror and despair struck deep into the hearts of the Armenians who had trust- ed when they saw the detachments of the troops were being told off to dig pits, or, rather colossal graves. lowly the sun set, and hour after hour the thought that something ominous was about to happen. Once again the bugle sounded, and companies of marching men formed. The Armenians had been asked to paint out the most influential men. among them, and they naturally had named Der Ohannes, the priest. The sun was just set- soldiers and marched out before the troops. is arms were held out in the form of a cross, and the officer in charge commenced | torture by catechising him with brutal A signal was given.

Yet this was only the commencement of the massacre. Before the priest's spirit had gone above, the fugitives gathered within this human corral of heathenish military were slaugh- tered with a passion that seems incredible. As mice are played with by cats, so were the wretched Armenians played with by the dogs of war. Wild fanaticism reigned. No pandemonium was’ ever worse. WOUNDED IN A PIT FOR DEAD. Bloody and headless bodies, mangled women stretched-upon the ground, chil- dren with their skulls crushed to a pulp and even without heads, men and boys with »their stomachs and chests blown away by gunpowder—these were frequent incidents of the massacre of that night. Another priest, Der Arakel, had his eyes gouged out and was made to dance at the point of the bayonet, reeling and howling in pain. Men were held by soldiers and hdckéd into pieces bit by bit, children were lifted by their hair and their throats liéistrely cut, the head tossed one way, the trunk another. Scores upon scores of men and women, not killed, and who might possibly have re- covered, were flung into the pit along with those that were dead. ting when Der.

The Schools Cost the City $1,500,000 a Year, But They Rank the Highest in the Country. Very few people ever give to the public schools that attention which their expense and importance demand. For instance, during all of last week there were graduation exercises and picnics and entertainments of various kinds incident to the close of the school year, yet how many citizens and taxpayers gave this great week more than a passing thought? It is a statistical fact that 800 boys and girls graduated last week from the St. Louis public schools. Did you know that? It' is a fact that 70,000 children were en- rolled in the public schools this year, as com- pared with 68,839 the previous year, and that there was an actual attendance of 50,000. Did you know that? : There are to-day 1,440 teachers employed by the public in teaching the children of this city, as compared with 1,387 teachers the previous year. There are’ to-day 121 public school buildings, with a seating capacity of 58,500, as compared with 56 buildings in 1875, with a seating capacity of 3,000. Did you know all that? The total annual cost of the public schoo! system of the city of St. Louis is $1,500,000, and the cost per pupil. including everything and on the basis of the number belonging, is $17.66, which is less than that of the nre- ceding year, a trifle more than that of the year fore that and. less otherwise than any year since 1864-5. Did you know that? The total increase in enro ment was 8, so. that growth during the greater by 1,78 than ceding 12 years. The increased enrollment of 1894 over that of 1892 ‘was 3,670, the Bape increase for any one year sinve 1877, when the scheme and charter went into effect and added a vast amount of territory and thousands of children to the city of St. Louis. Some years ago a Boston statistic fig- uring on the amount of money wien ohoods propriating mone ed that th 4 ers, for the battle o passed the r as they were sixteen or: seventeen years } ago. This is because the management is rapidly growing out of the coercive and into the persuasive method. Last year there were only 1,700 cases of corporal pun- ishment, whereas in a certain near-by city there were 28,000 cases in the*same time. The leffort now is toward the concrete and away from absolute book knowledge. The importance of ethical4ufiuence is becoming paramount—the neces of education for education’s sake, instead of from comipul- sory motives. , There is a general tendency toward the Froebel method in every rela- tion and application of knowledge, and to that end corporal punishment is being rapidly abolished. The schools of this city were authorized to exist half a century ago by a private act of the General Assembly of Missouri, in- corporating ‘““The Board of President and Directors of the Public Schools of the Cit of St. Louis.” Over the door of the splendi building at Ninth and Locust are the words: “Board of Public Education,’’ but real- ity there is no such board. It is the “Board of Public Schools,’”’ and such should have been the title over the doorway. The rapid development of the 8t.

Couldn’t Stand the Burning Brand That the Lumberman Dropped. A lumberman attached to John Crane’s camp, up beyond the Katahdin Jron works, in Maine, was tramping across to a pene late one November evening when he ran upon a bull moose. - The lumberman had _no rifle, so he yelled d waved his~arms, expecti that t broad-antlered bull would d fear-stricken down the mountain.

Then he climbed thé ree, The bull butted the tree with its ante lers until it swayed to and fro, and then walked away a few yards and rested. The lumberman yelled some more. When he could yell no longer he set his wits to work. Just above him was a dead limb. He broke it off, and as the bull advanced again he set the wood afire and dropped it on the bull’s back. With a bellow it ran down the mountain. The half-froz- en lumberman made a bee-line for camp. A Suspicious Declaration.

- ee F,* . . ee al S THE DAINTY SARAD NOW IN ORDER. - ——— Make It Look Cool and Serve in Glass. Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Now that the hot weather is at hand, solid foods are disappearing from dinner and luncheon tables and are being replaced by dainty: and more fanciful dishes of a less substantial character. Salads are naturally the first things the housewife thinks of, but she usually fails with them. A maid or a mistress may be skilled where a range'‘is concerned, but neither may be able to con- ‘struct a salad worthy of the name. They forget, it is sad to say, several important things. A salad, in the first place, should always look cool. No matter of what it may be composed, and you can make salad of almost anything under the sun if you only know how, the dish should be weg ey by an atmosphere of icebergs and of the far North. The lettuce that is generally its foundation should be soaked in a strong solution of salt and cold water for at least half an hour be- fore the “‘meat’’ is added to it. After soak- ing it should be drained and shaken thor- oughly in a napkin, not wiped off, as the leaves bruise egasily. Salad should invari- ably be served from and in cut glass. A few of the most delicious salads are chicken, lobster, ham, oyster, scallop, let- tuce, tomato, string bean, fish, celery, po- tato, cucumber, banana and game. In popu- larity chicken salad probably leads. This dish is best made with celery instead of let- tuce, but in the summer months celery is hard to get. Lettuce, nevertheless, makes a fair substitute, and in the hands of an ex- ert the combination of chicken and lettuce s by no means to be despised. Boil a chicken until] it is tender. When it is cold cut the meat into small pieces. Then mix with Mayonnaise dressing, a good recipe for which is the yolk of one hard-boiled egg mashed fine, the raw yolk of one egg whipped in with this, a saltspoon of salt, a dash of cayenne pepper, a scant half tea- spoonful of ground mustard, a half pint of oil, drop by drop, and stirring steadily; two teaspoonfuls of cider vinegar and one and a half teaspoonfuls of Iemon juice. Place in each lettuce leaf a generous salad spoonful of the ‘‘dressed’’ chicken and spread over a ——s of mayonnaise, a sufficient quan- tity of this og | been put aside before the mixing. Upon the yellow of the “dress- ing’’ on each lettuce leaf about a dozen capers should be sprinkled. One great advantage of salads is that they are convenient. Almost any collection of cold meat will make a toothsome dish if properly dressed and served. It may be divulging a secret of many amateurs, but it had best be told that the housewife need not despair of having chicken salad when she has no chicken, if only she has scraps of coid veal. Scraps that would not be present- able in any other way are quite available for salad use. ; Novel among salads is that of string beans. Gourmands may turn up their noses at that, but though string beans do not sound as if they would make a particularly attractive salad, they certainly do. The beans are cut into inch pieces, after having been boiled and left to cool, and to them are added one small onion chopped fine, one small bunch of parsley chopped fine and the mayonnaise. Lettuce is not needed, as the beans make a sufficient ‘‘salad’’ as well as **meat.’”’ Coolest of all, perhaps, to the eye is the tomato salad, an artistic dish, if only be- case of the brilliant red that stands out so vividly against the virile green. The small Bermuda tomato is the best, and it is well to serve a whole one to each guest. They should first have scalding water poured over them, and then be immediately peeled and laid in the ice box. Then the stem end of each should be cut out to a sufficient depth to hold about a teaspoonful, and in each role should be put half a sweet green pep- per and one small cucumber chopped fine. Sach tomato should be placed upon a lettuce leaf, and a teaspoonful of mayonnaise poured over the top. A gravy boat of may- onnaise should be served separately, that the sauce may be added to each diner’s taste. Regarding mayonnaise, there are several points of interest that are known to few people. Though sweet oil is nearly always used, it is not absolutely necessary. There is little question but that the best salad is made with oil, but whipped cream can be ac- ceptably used in its place. The taste is little different m that of the regular mayon- naise. A variation of this whipped cream re- cipe for sauce is as follows: Take two eggs, three tabi onfuls of vinegar, two table- spoonfuls rig y #ne tablespoonful of sugar, & quarter of @ teaspoonful of salt, a quarter of a teaspoonful of mustard. The bowl in which these concomitants are mixed should be placed in a basin of boiling water and stirred until the substances have nearly the consistency of rich cream. Mayonnaise can be colored. To make it red, “lobster coral’ is added after having been pounded to a powder and rubbed through a sieve. : Instead of ‘‘coral”’ the juice of boiled beets may be used. A S geove tint may be obtained by boiling a small quantity of spinach and straining off the water, using as large a quantity as may be needed to color. Sweet salads are toothsome, but not very familiar dishes. They should not, however, be forgotten in the household menu. That made with bananas is particularly tasteful. Fine bananas should cut into slices lengthwise to the thickness of a dollar, and arranged on a glass dish to form a hollow center. Over them a gill of well-sweetened sherry, mixed with a teaspoonful of lemon juice, should be poured. The compound should be put upon the ice for half an hour and upon being taken out the center shou be filled with whipped cream, heaped up. For game and oe tgge? orange salad ig pe- culiarly delicious. art, juicy oranges should be sliced, the seeds being removed. These slices should be laid upon a salad dish and dressed with salad oi], a little lemon juice, a pinch of salad and a dash of cayenne pepper. CHARACTER IN MUSCLE. Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. There is character as well as strength in muscle, and little of either in flabbiness or lard. Flatness and softness are merely sensuous expressions or symptoms of dis- ease. They are non-conductors of spiritual messages, stopping or deadening the finer currents of enjoyment, as an insulator stops electricity. It is difficult both to obtain and retain correct weight, but it can be done. It is a well known fact that puglisits when prepar- ing for a contest of skill and strength, de- cide the exact number of pounds they wish to weigh when the “meeting’’ takes place. Many a woman is handsomer at 39 than she was ten or fifteen years younger—so far as the face is concerned. But it seems the tendency of women in middle life to grow stout. The increase of avoirdupois beyond a certain point destroys all semblance of youthful grace. When such condition exists, the appear- ance of too much flesh can, to a certain ex- tent be overcome by the arrangement of the clothing. A woman can never afford to grow indif- ferent to her attire, no matter what her age. Among her many duties fm life, that of makin erseif. appear to the best ad- vantage at all times and places is foremost. It ‘s a mistake to view it in the light of vanity. A proper respect for herself and the feelings of her friends requires it. Fleshy women should avoid everything in the way of liquors 94 greene: A beer), starchy cereals like cornmeal, hominy, rye, oatmeal and brown bread; aleo they should ayoid too much seasoning the way of salt, pepper or sauces—these create an un- natural thirst, which nothing but liquid of some kind can quench. Wat nters largely into the composition of fa eats can be eaten freely, as they enter into mus- cle, not fat. Fleshy people should exercise vigorously every day and not be given to too vane: hours of sleep. Some women are constiutionally inclined to thinness; in such condition the right kind of food ig one of the requisites towards change. Tea and cof- fee should be abstained from, and in its place cream or rich milk substituted; eggs, fish, celery, fruits, the cereals and vege- tables should be the diet, with a giags of water: with the juice of an orange and plenty of sugar to be drank immediately upon rising. Cultivate a happy, ying on a lounge or in a hammoc a cheerful book for a companion, is better than activity. Take the world as a comedy rather thaa a tragedy. Proper care will increase the weight in almost every case. e all, don’t worry. An important proposition for both fat and lean, bathe daily. A body subjected to a regime of daily bathing will gain so much activity of the vital forces that an exces- sive formation of tissue is preventive tn the fieshy woman. In the case of the lean one, the general health will be improved. Besides what I have given you you must exerioge daily. Study physical culture and take those exercises. RS. CHARLES HOYLHE. The Bloomer Girl. The Bible has been brought to bear on the bloomer question.

This included all those who lived in luxurious homes and all the reputed wealthy business residents of the city. There were 91,364 families, of whom 72,660, or 8 of every hundred, who.rented the piaces they occupied, and 5 per cent owned under mortgage. There were two hundred bullding associations here, but, in the light of the foregoing, what have they done for us? In the Twelfth Congressional Dis- trict, one of the wealthiest in the country, and, which contains much of the aristo- crate ‘“‘West End,”’ only 13,of each hundred heads of families, own their own homes, 81 are tenants and must pay in advance eyery month for the right to live on the earth. No “stand-off” there. The grocery keeper and the butcher, the shoemaker and the coal dealer may take a ‘‘promise to pay, but the landlord, never. The standing uliti- matum to more than two-thirds of the citi- zens of St. Louis is pay in advanee for the privilege of living on ‘‘our’’ earth, or get off! In the First Ward, there are 2,286 fam- ilies, of whom 64 own their own homes, 97 of each 100 are tenants, principally of the kind which inhabit the famous Ashley Building. The Second Ward is no better. Of 2,442 families therein, 64 own their own homes, 2,360 are tenants, 18 under mort- gage. In the First Second, Third, Fif- teenth, Seventeenth and Nineteenth Wards of the city there are 16,262 families, of whom 867 own their own home, frée of debt, and 133 under mortgage, leaving 15,262 homeless tenants to a privileged class o dominate eur civic poucy and establish the conditions under which those who perform the ser- vices and produce the wealth th our midst are permitted to live here. These same conditions exist in every large 1 at of the land, and, in a great measure, in ail of the towns and villages, and, the agriculturists are rapidly approaching the same level. The system ‘that has produced these re- sults is damnable, and should be wiped out. Single taxers are enlisted in this righteous war of obliteration and invite all who believe in truth as against error; all who love justice and would see it pre- vail; all who admire manhood more than dollars, and all who believe that merit is the only true gauge of good citizenship to join us in a peaceful rebellion against things as they are. Thought It Was Personal. Companion. A’ physician in a Southern city, who re- joices in the good old name of Elijah, tells an amusing story of himself, which, as he is a truthful man, is credited and enjoyed by his friends. He is a member of the Bap- tist Church, but one Sunday morning he went to the Presbyterian Church for the urpose of hearing an old friend of his boy- ood, who was passing a few weeks in the city, and had been asked to preach. The soma was a little late, as physicians ave a right to be, and on entering the church just as the text was announced that he was somewhat startled by the ap- parently personal and direct question, ad- dressed to him from the pulpit: ‘"What doest thou here, Elijah?’ The sermon which fol- lawed reassured him, but in telling the story he always says that for a moment he oe if all the blood in his body were in s face. Quick at a Pun. From Kate Sanborn’s Wit of Women. Lady Morgan, the Irish novelist, was good at a pun. Some one spoke of the laxity of a certain bishop in regard to Lenten fasting, and concluded: “I believe he would eat a horse on Ash Wednesday!” “And avery poor diet,” said her lad¥ship, “4f it were a fast horse.’ Poor Inspiration. From Kate Sanborn’s Wit of Women. It was Grace Greenwood who, at a tea- ex- cused herself from telling another story. by saying: “No: I cannot get ‘more than one story high on a cup of tea!’ He Came Near It.

From the New York Recorder. The dream of scientists and engineers— of .Sdison and Tesla especially—is the di- reset conversion of fuel into electricity, which *he expect to reconvert into a pro- pulsive mechanical force.

Celebrations To-Day by the Protestant Sunday Schools. The Protestant. churches of this city are now almost united in celebration of “Chil- dren’s Day,’’ a day set apart early in June of each year, on which the morning church service is given up and an elaborate pro- gramme substituted for the Sunday-school. This programme consists of recitations, music, marches, a profusion of flowers and such a show of little folks gaily bedecked as Only can occur upon that special occasion, Several of the churches this year advanced their celebration one week and gave up last } Sunday to the children. But the large ma- jority will celebrate this Sunday with more extensive and beautiful exercises than ever before. There is quite a diversity of programmes, too. Of course, the general outline is the same, but the superintendents and teachers exercise a vast deal of ingenuity and show great skill in preparing preareaee that will be unique and origina The Sunday-schoo! at the Pilgrim Congre- gational Church, for instance, is sometimes marched around the block, with pretty flags | and banners and.great wreaths of roses, while the children sing. The effect is very decided and interesting when the weather is fine, as it nearly always happens to be. Perhaps the largest Sunday-school in the ' city is that of St. John's M. E. Church, South, at Twenty-ninth and Locust streets. It is presided over by Mr. Samuel M. Ken- nard, who has the reputation of being one of the most active and entertaining Sunday- school directors in St. Louis. “Children’s Day’ is always an elaborate affair at St. John’s. The ea was deco- rated yesterday with flowers and potted plants, until this morning it will have a per- fume of many hundred summer roses. he decorations are a special] feature of the cele- — and this year they are on a splendid scale The primary class, as usual, will have the ‘ight of way on the Pro; ramme. The opening exercise will be the address of welconre, delivered by little Robert M. Yost, Jr., each verse of the speech being fol- lowed by a verse of song by the class. Little Edith Chalfriend of the Methodist Orphans’ Home will fellow with a recitation, also interspersed with a class song. Then there will be a recitation by Annie Maud Kennedy. who is only 4 veora -’ But the principal feature is to be the a Agen ance of seven little girls in white, who, as each steps forward, will hoid up a dor tt ien- ter indicating the ‘first letter of the verse which she recites, and all the letters to- ther will form the word ‘‘Welcome.” Sey little girls are Sadie Cosby, Laura leanor Mahaffy, Susetta Hall, Christ- how ‘Johnson and a Beals and: Emma Henry. The responsive singing will be done by Dan Van; Guy Smith, H an, Chdries Smith, Joseph Taylor, Robt. ost, Carrie Kuhlman, fe Cosby, Pansy Paris, Ray Cord and Sidney Boardman. ’ There will also be a pretty recitation Bd little Sadie Seudder. All this ‘will be - lowed by an’ address by Sumarintent. ent Kennard’ and then a programme of more imposing exercises by the larger schol- ars. The big Sunday-Schools at Centenary and at the Cook av Methodist Church have also in. hand a.series of entertainments which cannot fail to be of unusual inter- est. All the Ehetntion churches will join in celebration of the-day. The church on: Lu- cas avenue, whose Sunday-School is under the papers eereec of the eloquent and successful Rev. Mr.. Foster, has perhaps the most extensive programme and the children have been so thoroughly trained that there ide be no chance a anything but a success- affair. The Union :-M. Church; the Wagoner Place and the La yette Park Churches all held most entertaining exhibitions by the children last Sunday... , THE DOCTOR'S ADVICE. Common Ailments Which Home by G.
