THE BYIDENCE SIFTED, . Analysis of the Testimeny Brought Out at Hannibal, Special to The Post-Diapatch. HANNIBAL, Mo., Aug. 18.—Among all the stories of crime and mystery thet ever stirred the hearts of men, the Stillwell mur- der, with its consequent exposure of family skeletons and its rousing of popular pre- judice, must take a foremost rank. No great murder, 80 to has beer com- mitted within many years which la com- le with it in many of its features. contains all of the esential factors that go to make up a story of absorbing buman interest—sensational, no doubt, sen- sationa) in the extreme—but one which every man and woman who would study the motives and passions of fellow-beings must necessarily read. ' In the place, there is a terrible crime, a murder committed in the most manner, in the dead of night. This, in itself, draws the attention of al- most every mind, And then there comes to ald in the intensity of this interest, the mystery st two features the fact that the present turn of affairs. Had he swal- lowed the insinuations of the San Francisco Chronicle he would not now be standing beneath the shadow of a possible indict- ment. The grand juries had year after year failed to find a bill against him. He h a staunch friend in the person of Richard Stillwell, then an apparent be- liever in the innocence of both his step- mother and Dr. Hearne. In looking back over the testimony which MRS. DR.

Stillwell.) has been a view to deter- minin r murderers of Amos a theory. that there is man and all th deen directly 2 ~~ the crime, are or were Fel POLICY HOLDERS WILL BRING SUI Receiver Will Be Asked for the Mutual Reserve t und. INCREASE. IN ASSESSMENTS. a — A Higher Rates Demanded by. the Com pany From Old Men Who Insured The above advertisement appeared in yes- terday’s Post-Dispatch. It means that there are a number of dissatisfied policy holders in the company who are determined to resist a recent attempt made to raise the as- sessments on all policies taken out prior to 1890. The Mutual Reserve is one of the old- est and largest of the mutual plan insur- ance companies, and is said to have about 5,000 policy-holders in St. Louis. How many of thesé are affected by the increase of assessment cannot be told, but a number have declared their intention of organizing to resist, and the courts will be called on to construe the language of the policy contract to decide whether the com- pany can increase the assessment based on the age of the insured at time of entry. It must be remembered that rate acording to the mortality table is not Increased, but the assessment is increased so as partially to keep pace with the increasing age of the assured. Thus if a Man was insured at the age of 50 and has paid assesments based on the age at entry. for tén years, the com- pany claims the right to imcrease the as- sessment to the present age rate, although the assessment has not been increased to the full present age rate of the assured. The plan proposed by Gen. Buel is to call a meeting of the pohcy holders in St.Louis some time in September, with a view of instituting injunctiOn proceedings in New York, restraining the compan from levying and collecting the bi-monthly assessment in October. He also contemplates appiying for a receiver and @ pro rata distribution among policy holders of the assets, which includes a reserve fund of nearly $4,000,000. The outcome of the agitation will be watched with consuming interest alike by the assessment companies and their old- time enemies, the old line companies. The Significant feature is that the advance is made only on policies taken out prior to 1890. This leads the old policyholders to believe that it is an Hort to squeeze them, or cause them to withdraw and forfeit all they have paid in. Thé assessment com- panies have always cigimed to give in- Surance at about ons-Hälf the cost of old line companies, but those affected by the increase allege that by the method of in- creasing assessment with a i as old line costly, or even more so, than companies, Gen. Buel was seen at his residence, 1919 South Grand avenue, last night. ® sald: ‘I issued that call because 1 think the policy holders in St. Louis ought to organize to resist this increase to the end.

And if the other policy- holders get out, will it not more an. correspondingly decrease the losses? asked the reporter. “No, because it will be the old policy- holders who wil] stay in. The men who have been paying for years will not want to lose out now they are getting old, many of them too old to reinsure. It will be the later policyholders who will get out. ey will argue that in a few years their assess- ments will be raised in the same way, and they will prefer to transfer their insurance now to old lire comvanies at a fixed rete. “While on th's subject I want to emphasize the necessity of all policy holders paying this assessment due this month. We sha apply for a receiver and a distribution. If they let their policies lapse now they will forfeit all their right to share in the distri- bution. I have instructed my lawyer to draw up a form of protest which policy holders can obtain from me. Let them pa the August assessment under protest, and am sat!sfied it will be the last one they will have to pay, as a receiver will be applied for before the next comes due. Two years after I took out my first policy 1 ved notice of N I wrote 0 assessments to the age rate, and claiming that that was cheaper by half than the old „ com- panies.

For these reasons I can see no purpose in the present increase. Charges have been published of extrav- agant management and have been met with a simple denial. They pay big salaries, pay their agents the same commissions as do old line companies, and they cannot afford to insure at half the rates, except so long as new business more than covers cur- rent losses. As soon as it ceases to do so trouble begins.“ ° The advertisement at the head of this article had scarcely appeeres before H. H. Keller, President of the Ross-Keller Brick Machine Company, notified the Post-Dis- atch that he could give some interesting nformation about his experience with the company. Mr. Keller Has been paying on a $5900 policy on his father’s life, David Keller, for thirteen years.

The Jury in the Duestrow Case Could Not Agree and Was Discharged. The Wife and Child Slayer Will Have to Be Tried Again. Feeling Against Him at Union Was Bitter and Talk of Bribery Pientiful. - UNION, Mo., Aug. 17.—At 10:30 p. m. the jury in the Duestrow case was discharged by Judge Hirzel, being unable to agree. They Stood seven for acquittal and five for con- viction. The jury had been out twenty-four hours and a half. In the face of an inflamed public opinion which has clamored for the blood of Ar- thur Duestrow as forfeit for the two lives he took over eighteen months ago, seven Franklin County farmers stood for twen- ty-four hours in the trial of that defend- ant demanding that he be declared insane and legally innocent of the double homi- cide. Five men, equally determined, were opposed to them, five men who believed with public sentiment that blood should pay for blood. As a consequence Judge Rudolph Hirzel discharged them all last night at 10 o’clock, officially declaring the — of three weeks duration a mis- All day long the jury had pondered over the gruesome question of the life or death of a fellow-being. Once before they had been brought before court and re- plied in answer to his question that they could come to no conclus.on, d s0 as a last chance his honor set the hour for the final inquiry as to their finding at 10 o'clock.

The Ju explained, however, that he would be unable to try it at the regular term. After 8:30 in the morning the men knew that there would be no verdict.

Im the. morning they argued A. little more, but they saw that it was u less and quit. The rest of the day they am themselves by playing cards, At 5 o’clock the men were brought before the Judge and the foreman explained that they could not Spree. They were sent back for one more . which also came to nothing. On this occasion Foreman Evenden re- marked that they were all agreed on every- thing save one point, and that was whether Duestrow was insane at the time of the killing. Judge Hirzel remarked that he thought this of some importance. UNION WAS EXCITED. Feeling Intense While the Jury Was Deliberating on a Verdict. Special to The Post-Dispatch. UNION, Mo., Aug. 17.—Union to-night is in a state of great éxcitement. The fact that the jury in the Duestrow case has failed to return a verdict has really aroused the people to more feeling against the de- fendant than has been t here for a long time. Although some of those who heard the magnificent arguments of the defense were touched into a belief that the unfortu- nate man might be insane, the great ma- jority held to their old opinion. They find it difficult to believe that a jury of their own citizens could fail to do their share toward sending him to the gallows.

The feeling is very bitter against the Colonel among his fellow townmen. urer liliam H. Breckenkamp was heard to say that tf Col. Maupin shot any one he would never shoot any more. He, with numbers of others, have declared that the action of the jury is a disgrace to the courty, and he therefore refused to kee is office open after the jury was dischar n — that they might get their pay to- The sun was scarcely up this morning before the court-yard at Union was dotted with anxious waiters for the verdict in the Duestrow case. And the very first comers, too, could hear the voices of the twelve jurymen coming through the open windows as they heatedly argued their positions. As the time passed and the hour for con- yening court—8 o'’clock—approached, it emed as though half the town and more ad come to hear the words which meant so much to Arthur Duestrow. But they were disappolnted. To the surprise of the many who have been anx‘ous for a verdict of guilty and to the gratification of the few who hoped for an acquittal, no agreement could be reached and this brought hope to the hearts of the latter contingent. Event- Bally disagreement would to them mean victory. The first report that came out, no one nows whence, made the jury stand 11 to for conviction and the rumor of bribery cropped up like a rank weed. Then came the information that the first ballot stood to 6 anddhat later three bad deserted the cause of Duestrow. ut this does not seem to have been true for it developed later in the morming’that the jury was almost even divided, with both sides stubborn and threatening to fight it to the bitter end. Indeed, by 10 o’clock they had ceased to argue the question. From time to time, as the door opened to allow the exit or the entrance of the deptty sheriffs, the men could be seen ly!ng on their couches and playing cards. Pager ears listening be- eath the open windows of the second floor could catch no sound to indicate the di- rection of the jurors’ thoughts, It was the general belief then that the jury would ever agree on a verdict. Benner, Enloe, enman, Patterson and Woody were the five men who were reported to be holding out for Duestrow, BAILROADS IN ARKANSAS. Welghty Matters Considered by the Board of Commissijoners.

He told of the conversation Mrs. Stillwell had with Col, Anderson, in which s to free herself from * the people K it he should run away man’s wife.“ Both of these incidents happened just be- the murder. Add to these the marriage between the two, and take into considera- tion the almost numberless other incidents of minor importance, and the motive for the crime certainly seems strong. Sup for the sake of thoroughly under- — the testimony t Mra. Hearne committed the crime—and there are many who believe this, although they make Dr. earne an accessory. Then, keeping within the evidence, it must be remembered that this frail woman, weighing not over 115 8 went to the euchre party that night determined to do the deed, and yet she took first prize. She and her husband returned home about 12 o’clock. She could not have shown much .excitement or un- easiness else the man she was about to murder would have noticed !t and would not have gone to sleep so readily. The evidence shows almost conclusively that the murder occurred while Stillwell was asleep. Mrs, Hearne says not. She says he was awake and sitting up in bed when he called out: “Fanny, is that you?” and received immediately thereafter the fata. blow from an unknown robber. Keeping within the evidence along the theory that the wife committeed the crime Aner Stillwell was asleep. His head was resting in the center of the bed on a bolater. He lay on his right side with the left side of his face exposed. The wife was undressed—in her night gown. The ax must have been at that time concealed in the house. There, in the dark, with her two children asleep in a bed near their father, she must have crept to the side of the sleeping man and dealt a blow so true and straight that he never stirred again. The ash was just beneath the left ear, and eath came Uke a flash. And then this Lady Macbeth must have, with her own feeble hands, dragged the body from its sleeping posture and left it, bloody and naked, hanging half out upon the floor. Then up and down the front hall stairs the matches must have been scattered, the clothing of the dead rified and his money dropp here and there out the back way into the alley. The woman in a night-gown, her bare feet upon the frozen grourd of De- cember. The bloody ax must have been car- ried out and laid upon the ground in the alley. ret then she must have returned to her room and wiped the blood away from the wall at the head of the bed, the blood that had spurted from the gaping wound. The night-gown estaired with crimson must needs have been discarded and cast into the privy vault; the fresh, clean gown put on; the servants awakened and then the wild run across to the house of Mr. League must have followed to bring the eyes of the world upor the atrocious butchery she had just complet — — — Such a crime as this seems almost beyond human belief.

The Prosecuting Attorney who would make a jury believe that such an act was done by a woman in Mrs. Hearne's station in life mugt have no link missing in his chain of evidence. Reverting once more to. the evidence, suppose that Dr. Hearne was actively im- ifeated in the crime. The difficuities at- ching to the performance of the deed would be thereby lessened; but it is also somewhat difficult to show that Dr, Hearne was there. At 12:30 on the ni ht of the murder Dr. Hearne was at his me, four blocks from the Stillwell residence. This is incontrovertible, because it is testified to by William Unger, one of the best citi- gens in Hannibal, who is universally be- lieved. Mr. Munger escorted the doctor's daughter home from the party that night. t is hardly probable that Dr. Hearne end leave his house before the daughter was quiet in her room. He was found at his house in the neighborhood of 1:4 a. m. The doctors testified that Stillwell must have been killed before 1:30, as the blood was already drying 2 ni when they got | he house ore 2 o'clock. his gives Dr. Hearne a little less than an hour in which to get to the Stillwell help his paramour murder the It could have been done, but the limits are pretty narrow.

Their ac- tions both before and since the marriage have been such that taken as a Whole they seem to point to them as the murderers.

LONDON, Aug. 17.—Ever since November, 176, when a certain Guy Fawkes. and others engineered such a scheme but were @eterred and hanged, the possibility of a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament“ has been one of the pet scares of the Brit- ish officials and regularly, year after year, ever since the vaults of the House of Par- liamen revious to the reassembling of t wh are formally searched for pow- ge barrels with old-time ceremony and minuteness, This year, however, there Was some little show of cause for the rently unnecessary precautions for wi he opening of Parliament comes the dig- covery, real or imaginary, of a scheme to nd the Commoners and rds unexpected- skyward ina * Whether the story true or not, the afternoon papers yester- ay made quite a sensation out of the affair f° the inhabitants of this great metropo- have not done talking about it. Simmered down to cold facts, it appears that there was some foundation for the re- rt and it rested upon the following basis of fact: Some weeks the manager of a lithographing company foreigner described as ‘dark-looking and mysterious’ (of course) to lithograph a weekly paper for a Turkish ipany. As no knowledge of the Turkish e was necessary for the job, the manager of the English concern undertook the contract and lit ographed thousands of les of the Turkis „ the paper mostly sent abroad. A few days ago, owever, two detective se nts from Scot- 6 Yards called at the lithographing es- blishment and asked to see the man- ager. The latter appeared all smiles, ti some new business, but his jaw and he turned very white when asked he was aware that he was suspected of g implicated in a plot to blow up the of Parliament and that his visitors alled from Scotland Yard. In reply to the unfortunate manager's protests of inno- ce, the detect ves explained that he had been printing in the guilleless looking Turk- weekly, a red hot Anarchistic literature calling upon Socialists and others to com- ne for the purpose of blowing up the ouses of Parliament upon the occasion of the opening of the session. One article actually stated that sixteen men were al- ready on their way to England from vari- ous points to make necessary arrange- ments for sending the members of Parlia- mont and the péers of the realm skyward. In epite of his protests the terrified man- ager wes escort to Scotiand Yard by the detectives, where he was confronted and examined by the Chief of Detectives and a Police Commissioner. To these officials the thoroughly frightened manager explained all the circumstances of the case, gave a full description of the “dark and mysteri- ous looking foreigner and established hs innocence of any complicity in the treason- avle publication and went on his way, much relievea, upcn promising not to lithograph any more Turkish weeklies without first e@secertaining the nature of their contents. According to the Globe, the police first = wind of the affair owing to the boast- ngs of some London Anarch'sts. But the ptory of this latest “gunpowder pilot” is — rom being as thrilling as it might have and there is a strong suspicion in ore than one quarter that the Scotland ard authorities have unearthed a mare’s nest of the rankest description, * „ . Facts which have now leaked out re- — the meeting of Queen Victoria and mperor William of Germany at private arties given by her Majesty at Osborne uring the Cowes regatta week shew that the cordial! relations which had been ruffled by the Emperor's failure to consult the Queen regarding the present Czarina’s en- gagement to the Czar, have again been restored and the coolness has quite van- dished. Queen Victoria has long been known as the great matchmaker of Europe. While at Coburg with the Queen and others in April of ae upcn the occasion of the arriage of Princess Victoria Melita of Co- urg and Goth, the Grand Duke of Hesse took upon himself without consulting any- body to bring to a head the long pending but frequently deferred engagement of Princess Alix cf Hesse to the then Czare- witch of Russia, and her Majesty felt very. much put out, as she fancied she was the first reon to be corsulted in such a atter. his caused a coolness between erself and her imperial grandson, but dur- ing the dinner at Osborne the conversations of the two sovereigns was most animated and affectionate, those present ncticing pecially the great tenderness which the mperor displayed in assisting the Queen to rise after dinner and the gracious man- mer in which she accepted his help. Considerable complaint has been caused fn certain circles by the announcement that William Brown, & nephew of the famous ohn Brewn, who was for many years the Uhland attendant of her Majesty and r whom the Queen had a high regard s been appointed the Queen’s personal ettendar t. am Brown inherits.to a oertain 3 the somewhat brightish man- ner of his distinguished uncle. As the date for the races of the America ap approaches, interest in Valkyrie IIL and the performances of the Defender in- reases. The brief cable dispatches from ew York published here in the English newspapers are eagerly read and much dis- cussed.

Among those houses given up to cleaners and decorators are Covent Garden, Lyceum, the Garrick, Comedy, Court, voy, Shaftsbury and the Strand. This eaves a small margin of fashionable West d houses that are open for the delectation of the American play-goer now in London. It is not long since the Strand and its mediate vicinity was considered the only tion where theatrical performances might be successfully given. Now, however, the suburbs are all coming in for their seperate houses of entertainment. There is the Metropole at Camberwell and the Park- burst at Holloway.

The er’, News, though only a cheap paper, has a big ¢ireulation and éspecially sporting circles, and the foregoing re- marks will be widely read. The contest between Mr. R. 8. Palmer's American cruising schooner, Yampa, and Mr.Frederick Wills’ British cruising schoon- er, Amphitrite, on Wednesday last off Cowes is creating a great deal of interest here. Yampa, although beaten, was gener- = admired. he Yachtsman says: The picture pre- sented by Yampa with every stitch of can- vases set is one that makes our boasted out- ters sink into insignificance. Britannia conld never make so fine a picture. The Yachting World hopes that the schooner contests will give a new lease of life to a rig which is equally serviceable and picturesque, adding: “It is only fair to say that all the papers here praise Mr. Palmer for his sportsmanl'ke conduct. He, ing the first race, made no attempt to conceal the fact that he had additional men on board.” Mr. William F. Harrity, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, sails for New York shortly, after having done Eng- land, Ireland and Paris. He is much im- proved in health and takes a sanguine view of Democratic poll In a conversation with a reporter of the Associated Press, he said: With the great work the Democratic administration is doing for sound money, good times are returning and will con- tinue to improve, for which the Democrats will get credit. The next Republican House is sure to encounter complicat ons. J really do not brifeve Mr. Cleveland would take a third term. There is no pro- nounced candidate for the Pres dency among the Democrats, not because the chances for his elect'on are not good, but because it ig too early for candidates to appear. Mr. Win- m C. Whitney is the most talked of. I see he says he is not a candidate. Mr. Whitney is human and he would make a splendid candidate.

RUMPUS IN THE COURT. Caused by Prosecutor Jameson of Kan- sas City Dismissing Cases. Special to The Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 17.—Prosecutor Jameson, who has been dismissing cases before Justice Krueger, regardless of evi- dence, and in order to even up with the Justice, enters a dental to the charge that prejudice caused him to do so. He says that in criminal cases of all kinds the defense venue, and thus avojd trial before a court that is thought likely to be prejudiced. } The prosecution has no such advantage, but can select the court in which the es shall be brought. The new law passed last winter requires a Justice, on hearing a complaint, to refer it to the Prosecuting Attorney unless there is danger that if the time is lost the offender will escape. It then becomes the duty of the Prosecuting Attorney to file a complaint on which a warrant may be issued. In cases bro t before Krueger no such proceeding has been had. Consequently the cases are not regularly in court, and until the Prosecut- ing Attorney files an information there are no costs which can be taxed nst the State. In dismissing the cases, Mr. Jame- son says the State is put to no expense, and he has been careful to see that com- plaints have been filed in every case where there was a probability that defendant can be convicted.

When the Port of Yingkow, t in Manchuria, was occupied by the Jap- anese, the ce of foreign residents made it d le that the business of 8 the civil control should be man- wi extreme tact and discretion. nder ordin circumstances an attache of the Foreign rtment would have been delegated to represent the Government, but the Japanese are le of breaking red tape in case of need, ape it was decided to appoint the best qual man, without reg to precedent. Mr. Sannomiya was che sen for the duty, which turned out to be even more arduous and exacting than had been expected. The anxiety and toll of his brief term of authority would have been almost entirely without relief but for the genial encouragement he received from American naval officers, to whom he had until then been a stranger. The gentlemen in charge of the. United States ship stationed at Yingkow did not consider themselves prohibit by any im- aginary obligation of gerbe 4 from mani- — — at the arrival of a brave and civilized army to take the place of the cowardly rabble, inst whose excesses they hed been guardin the alien residents since the beginning of the war. Nor did the hesitate to follow their natural impulses an offer suitable courtesies to the newcomer. By many pleasant devices, Capt. Emo and his associates of the Petrel endeavor to alleviate the hardships to which the Ja anese officials were at first necessarily su ected, and to make them underst that — were free to command the services of the Americans, whom experience had made familiar with the situation in various prac- tical ways. As —— as Mr. Sannomiya remained in Yingkow, the friendly intercourse thus es- tablished was cordially maintained and ever since his return to Japan he has awaited an opportunity of signifying his appreciation of the good will generously bestowed on him and his countrymen. The occasion presented itself with the arance of the Petrel this month in Yo ohama harbor. Invitations were issued for one of the hospitable entertainments which have made the Sannomiya Mansion noted in the capital to a la company, of whom the members of the Yingkow circle ‘were certainly not the least warmly welcomed. The appearance of the United States Minister and Admiral Carpenter as the principal foreign guests gave assurance that the gathering was in compliment to America and its naval significance was ap- parent from the attendance of Count Saigo, the Minister of Marine, Admiral Ito, the hero of two sea fights. and others of the Japanese service. rilliant social ings are frequent here, so frequent, indeed, that few particular oc ons are promi- nently remembered, but the kindly and fraternal] sentiment which inspired this re- union imparted to it a very unu 0 and the associations which it 2 ro- called are not of a character that can be lightly forgotten by the particip ‘ pathy is sometimes stronger than interest in creating ties of interna! goodfellowship, CUBANS WILL WIN. That Is the Belief of Those Watching the Struggle in England. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—An evening paper has the following cable from London: It is considered probable here that the pres- ent war in Cube will result in success, in some measure at least, for the Cubans, and that autonomy in some form will be either granted by Spain or wrestei from the mother country by the Cubans. The outlook is taken to be that eventually a republic will be established tn Cuba, and one more be added to the self-governing countries of the new world. No one has any idea that any of the British — — Will ever de- sire to cut loose from England, but it is seriously regarded as a possible event of future history that the failure to set up a permanent monarch in exico, and the complete destruction of imperial govern- ment in Brazil may find a logical sequel in the freedom of Cuba, particularly as the Spanish campaign seems to be a failure, and as the home government is so weak in money and 8 that it has not the power to hold a people like the Cubans in subjection at so great a distance. The most striking phase, however, is its refiex in- fluence in Spain itself. Troops mutiny against being sent into a fatal fever at- mosphere, to which they have no chance of becoming gradually acclimated, the re- serves, when mobilized to supply the places of the thousands who die in the Cuban hospitals refuse to serve until — by force, the people throughout Spain are groaning already under the heavy debt of the country, and are growing more bitter every day in their hatred of the Madrid Government, and now news comes from Spain which indicates that the Republi- cans are taking advantage of the dis- atch of large bodies of troops to Cuba to naugurate an active. movement looking to the overthrow of the monarchy and the es- tablishment of a republic. CHINESE MEDICAL MISSION. Hospitals to Be Established Through- out the Empire. CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—Dr. D. 8. Hamil- ton and his wife, Dr. Bertha Nelson Hamil- ton, will leave Chicago for China this fall, together with a number of other members of the Chinese Medica] Mission. “Our purpose is to establish hospitals all through CHina,“ said Dr. Hamilton. “Physicians are always self-supporting in China and India, and if the missionaries would only study medicine they would not have to depend on foreign mission boards for support. There are 3,000 volunteers in America for the missionary field, and not enough money can be raised to send one- tenth of them. Our society will help physi- clans Only to go to China. My wife and I go far into the interior, where no hospital as ever been established, and before at- tempting to convert the Chinese we will first try to cure them of disease.

The Carondelet police have discovered no clew to the mysterious murder of the un- known child whose headless body was found in a cave on the river bank Friday.

We shall soon learn whether or not Attorney Haeussler of the Taxpayers’ League was justified in attempting to cut off Mayor Walbridge’s salary during the time he was absent from the cily. The Mayor claims, and the claim is “ gubstantiated by a report in a Boston electrical journal, that he spent part of his time while away from the city in- vestigating underground conduits in Eastern cities. He Visited Boston, Phil- adelphia and New York and inspected the system in each. He says he made @ special study of Boston’s conduit be- cause, having been the last of the three cities named to adopt an underground system, it had the benefit of their ex- perience. Mayor Walbridge refuses to divulge the information he has gained until the meeting of the Municipal Assembly, when he will embody it in his message. It is ~ fair to presume from the fact that he will treat the subject in his message that he has important information. One thing he has certainly learned by in- epecting the underground wire system of these cities and that is the feasibility of accommodating many wires for different services in a single conduit. He should be able to meet the arguments of the wire companies who want separate con- duits and convince the Municipal Assem- bly of the practicability of a municipal conduit system. If the Mayor’s Eastern trip shall be the means of securing for St. Louis a satisfactory conduit system and of bury- ing all the wires St. Loulsans will be reconciled to the payment of two Mayor- alty salaries for part of the summer. — 8. — — EXTORTIONATE ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Attorney T. J. Delaney of Springfield, Mo., is reported to be well pleased with a verdict for $1,487.92 in a suit for $2,500 as an attorney's fee for clearing a client who was indicted on a criminal charge. The reason given for Mr. Delaney’s satisfaction with only a little more than ‘one-half of the fee charged is that it is dificult to establish the justness of a big attorney's fee before a farmer jury. Some of the farmers on the jury, although there was abundance of lawyer testi- mony to the effect that $2,500 was a rea- sonable fee, thought that $256 would be Sufficient and one juryman thought 88 reasonable pay. Mr. Delaney has good reason not merely to feel satisfied, but delighted at the outcome of his suit. There is exce)- lent cause for the difficulty of establish- ing the justness of a big legal fee before any kind of a jury. The farmers on the Delaney jury who thought that from 86 to $25 would be sufficient compensation were nearer right, according to Mr. De- laney's own admission, than the leral ex- perts who swore that $2,500 was a reason- fee. . The truth is lawyers’ fees are in the main exorbitant and are growing more so. It requires no more ability, knowl- edge and skill to try many so-called tmportant cases than are required by the average newepaper reporter in his Yet if for work of the same should ask such pay as lawyers his managing editor would look him as a dt subj t for a lunatic and he would quickly be in search 4 — — of lawyers’ fees will have f n. by the people in order stop to extortion.

OUT OF WORK. A few days ago the Post-Dispatch pub- lished a pitiful appeal from a man who Just as if they were young again. an entire year ‘without finding any, al- though he was willing and capable of doing “all but the heaviest manual labor.” Commenting upon this, a curious disciple of Tolstols the writer of which says, There are thousands of such men in big cities who are too educated to do honorable labor. Furthermore, I will state, for the benefit of all local, resident college-bred (tramps) gentlemen, whether awheel, afloat or afoot, who are displeased with the wolf at their door, that St. Louls te a hard-working city, with plenty of it.” letter has been received from a possible Without subscribing to the dootrine of the correspondent just quoted, which seems to Le that nothing is worth calling work but heavy manual labor, there is | too much reason to fear that the corre- spondent who failed to find “work” after looking for it a whole year, and y others like him, are too much “educared” or too squeamish of appearances to un- dertake that heavy manual labor which, in the nature of things, is the most plen- tiful and the easiest to obtain. The plea of unfitness for such labor should be put aside by a man who is pressed to the last gasp. It should not be forgotten that, with proper caution at the start, such labor will have a beneficial effect and probably result in building up the work- er’s constitution until he feels like a new man. When a new gold field is discovered, men do not hang back from the pick, the mattock and the heavy clay because they are willing and capable of doing “all but the heaviest manual labor.” The white hands and undeveloped muscles are found side by side, digging away for dear life, with the brown and the burly. No one should consider his case-a sub- ject for charity or for the desperation which begets the suicide until he has had the manliness to do what the gold digger eagerly does—undertake “the heaviest manual labor.” ) u Federal law has been found under Which the slayers of the Bannock Indians can be brought to trial for their crimes.

The principal ingredi- ents of these springs are sulphate of soda, carbonate of soda and common salt, all particularly applicable to such diseases as dyspepsia, indigestion and other ail- ments of the stomach. * But there are springs in this country equally curative with those of Carisbad, ana it is therefore strongly suspected that Senator Vest went abroad for the same rea- son that the boy hung on to the last bumper of the train—just for the ride. The application of lynch law in Missouri is of very frequent occurrence, but when it is invoked there is no half-way business about it. Strong and positive as may have been the causes for overturning the es- tablished order of things on many occa- sions during recent years, the people have generally waited patiently the application of statute law through the courts. In fact, in a number of remarkable instances where efforts were made to take law into unoffl- cial hands, the stout officers having pris- oners in charge have resented the inter- ference by force of arms, and as a result otherwise innocent men have killed by the sheriffs. The Fulton affair was a surprise, only be- cause all the State expected the effort would be made and believed the officers and lead- ing citizens would prevent the accom plish- ment of the deed. Of course, in view of the peculiarly horrible crime committed by the negro, nobody will dare say that his punishment was not more than deserved. The question is whether lynch law is ever justifiable if we are to be governed by law. There are two sides to it, and moralists may write and talk until doomsday with- out being able to convince the Callaway County people that they were not entirely right in making short, swift work of a savage beast. The announcement is made that the sum- mer tourists are beginning to return home, the advance guard coming into the city with each day of the past week. It seems a trifle curious, however, that persons fa- miliar with the St. Louis climate should leave the resorts at the hottest period of the summer, for no matter how pleasant ‘may be the weather of July, it is always hot here from the ist until the th of August, In fact, the hottest days are us- ually those between the 10th and Ast of this month, But I suspect the real reason for the early return of the pilgrims lies in the fact that all the schools will reopen two weeks from next Monday, and that mothers have con- siderable planning and actual work to do in that short space of time. As a matter of fact—mentioned here as a digression— the public schools of St. Louis are opened one week too early in the fall and kept open two weeks too long in the summer. Not because of the parents who go away or desire, to remain away, but because of the children. Teachers can testify—but they will not because of the three weeks’ differ- ence in their salaries—that the two weeks’ school in June is never productive of good A Western address before a convention of’ and eloquently pleaded with that body to as. sist the clergy in the institution of certain reforms in funerals to correspond 5 U rs FF if BE Fee 3 g 121 E i 5 : 115 i 4 & 2 * Ry | r t * * . . n = 75 * . 29 * 12 17 ‘ - i rT 2 1 = N 2 Ke n 4 ogy 8 a! 8 N. _ * ( * 2 r 0 © — 15 „ gat 7 2 hoe minister recently delivered an * = SS 291 8 f and into the history of St. Louis as the ‘ be i Hh 3 e brilliant ex-Mayor’s unspoken speech pass into the royal records of Austria ‘Most earnest and magnificent that was ever So, it seems, the “Board of President and Directors of the St. Louis Public Schools” kept its threat and dismissed Supt. Long without even giving a decent excuse for it. Well, there will be an election for directors in November and some reasons may te — out during the progress of the cam - Meanwhile, with so distinguished An ed- ucator as Prof, Soldan in charge, the public schools will probably not know there has been a change in the Superintendency. But there is a prevailing apprehension among the patrons that there will be a change of text-books: I hope there is no ground for anxiety on this score. It would be almost calamitous at this dull season of the year to demand of workingmen and men of small resources generally that they shall provide new books for their children. This would mean a cash outlay of at least $5 to every man having two or three children at school, and would seriously cripple one who chanced to have five or six. Any change in text-books just now might be very disastrous to the future political pros- pects of the official’ who accomplished it. Col. Ed Butler’s Sanitary Works must be sadly overworked of late. From many sources I hear complaints that dead dogs or dead cats have been permitted to lie in alleyways for three or four days, festering in the August sun, and no response from Col. Butler’s wagons to any number of tele- phone calls. I have no information as to the causes for these delays. In fact, Col. Butler him- self has not deigned to assign any. It is currently reported, however, that there is no money in gathering up dead dogs and cats, and that the “Poor Pussy” carts are run more for accommodation than for profit. So it makes a great deal of differ. ence, you know, except to a sensitive pub- lic, which is sometimes willing to take a solemn oath that a dead dog can create more disturb&nce in a refined and civilized neigh- borhood than all the dead horses that Col Butler can scrape together in a year. There ought certainly to be some means of securing the Colonel’s attention when you want him “real bad.” Ex-Speaker Crisp of Georgia must be hav- ing a royal time of it in London, where he reports being escorted from one place of in- terest by lords and dukes to another by the Speaker of the House of Commons. It must be very harrowinx to Secretary Hoke Smith to find his distinguished fellow-townsmap thus carrying off the midsummer honors. But Mr. Crisp ts acquiring information. He ts finding out a vast deal about the con- dition of the English people and wil) be able to tell the Georgians something of the results of a gold-standard policy. He bas gone into the provinces and seen for himself, without Interference of lords and dukes, that the common people of England are bearing the burdens of Government hope- lessly and in abject submission to the power of organised and entailed wealth. He will bring home with him a deep and lasting impression of the misery which falls upon any land where money is deliberately placed beyond the general reach, and he will doubt- less make some eloquent speeches on this subject of supreme and vital importance to every American citizen. * * * 0 * 2 . * . 0 . 4 Boi Tae : — 2 ; 1 1 * * N — as 0 P sf 2 5 25 * * a * 1 1 es 8 K 7 8 8 N of that mat- t the Republic at Was sent to Per. conventioh.

St. Louis was making one-fifth of all the plug to- baceo produced in the United States, and the two leadirg brands of St. Louls plug tobacco were excluding those of the Trust. Determined to gain control of the two com- peting factories, the Trust representat:ves made flattering offers to the St. Louis men for tber factories.

A brand of tobacco was put on the market at a ruirously low price and extensively adver- tised. The St. Louls men began to look for a means of retaliating. To cut the_ price of plug tobacco would start an endless war which could not hurt the American Tobacco Company, as the profits of that Concern were made on cigarettes. It° was determined then by the St. Louis firm to strike at the trust in their tender spots. The courts had decided that a cer- tain cigarette machine did not interfere with any —s patent and it was deter- mined to erect factories in St. Louis and begin a cigarette war. he new factories, it is understocd, will be in operation by October 1, and their prod- uct will be pushed on the market by every known means. It is suggested that the tac- tics of the Trust will be pursued by the local factofies in the fight. Their brands are as Staple in the grocery and. tobacco trade as granulated sugar. Dealers will be notified that the regular price of a em | brand is 39 cents. If, however, they wil take a stipulated quantity cf the new cigar- _ ettes, the price will be 38 cents. If double that quantity of cigarettes is taken the price will be 37 cents. If this means does not have the desired effect and the staple character . of brands almost guarantees that it will, a certificate will be put in each box of tobacco entitling the retail dealer to 500 or 1,000 cigar- ettes free of charge on application to any obber. In this way the demand will be ullt up and the new cigarettes forced on the market. At present the American Tobacco Co. has the jobbing trade in a grip of iron. In order to avoid the anti-trust laws of several States the trust withdrew the actual sale of goods to customers, substituting therefor the agepcy system. Under this the jobber is apphinted the selling agent of the tryst. tinue on the night of Sept. 27, having ac- cepted the courteous invitation of the di- rectors to n visit your magnificent Ex- position, and on Saturday, Sept. 28, at 3 p. m., will unveil our bucolic countenance for the admiration and benefit of your peo- le.

Crevasse is said to be a “dope” horse, but John Schorr, one of his owners, de- olared he did not have the hop“ shot into him yesterday and he won just the same. Crevasse was a red-hot favorite, his price being so prohibitive that — the heavy plurgers could afford to back him. The victory of Charles P. was another upset for the public. Although he red as well as any of them, he was allowed to go to the post almost neglected at a long price. The result was a staggering blow to the public, but they got even when Linda came to the front in the fifth event. Marcel and Prince were both well backed in the last race, but 225 mare seemed to have slightly the best of the argument, and in consequence her victory satisfied the greater number. Danton and Hibernia Queen, at 8 to 1 each, went to the post slight favorites over Mrs. Bradshaw, who closed at 4 to 1 in the first race. After quite a delay at the post Guard got off first, but before they had gone very far White Wings, who had broken away in front frequently went to the fore with a rush and won easily all the way a | two lergths. Mrs. Bradshaw, who was all but left at the post, got up quickly and, after running second all the way, beat Hi- bernia Queen three lengths for the place. Dare Dollar was always the favorite at 8 to 5 for the second race, but most of the money was bet on Kingstone, whose price was cut from 6 to 1 down to 6 to 2. are Dollar, the favorite. got off last, and the winner turned up in Forget, a 20 to 1 shot, who made all the running and won eas ly by a length from Barbarossa, who beat Dare Dollar a lergth for second money. Kingstone was fifth close up. Crevasse, the odds-on favorite, won the third race eas'ly by nearly two lengths from Johr Hickey, who beat Mopsey two lengths for the place. Mopsey, Crevasse and Probasco were in front most all the way, and Crevasse came through in the stretch. Turner’s exh bition on Probasco was particularly noticeable in the last six- teenth, He was not anxious apparently to get second money.

Frark Farmer the same margin for second money. Linda was a top-heavy choice at evens for the handicap. The ightweighted Miss Galop was thought to have a chance to beat her, and she started out to set a merry pace. Linda got off badly, but Garner rode nicely up the back stretch, and before they struck the three-quarter pole she was showing the way. She stayed there the rest of the route, winning by two lengths from Rey del Mar, with Miss Galop third. Marce! and Prince were the picks for the last race. Marcel won easily, while the best Prince could do was to finish fourth. Prince made the running during the first part of it, but Marcel overhauled him before they had gone a mile, and showed the way the rest of the route.

N HE Browns beat the Colonels for the second time in the series terday in a game by some pleving. Weyhing held De Browns down to elght ning, when they lit on him and pounded out more, one being a home run after two men were out. Ehret was not nit effectively, and when the visitors did — to do anything the hits were scat- It was a game of home runs and tied scores. The Colonels tied the Browns in ter point it looked as though it might be ten-inning game, but the terrific slugging of the home team avoided that. The enlarging of the grounds to admit the race track aided both teatrs in scoring home runs, and Cooley, Peltz, Ehret, Clarke and Sp'es drove the ball into the new ground ard made the cireuit. The Browns started to make their runs in the second when Peitz lined out a home run With nobody on bas In the third Ehret got to first on a single and was brought home by Cooley's long drive to center for the second home run. Ely started the sixth with a sky scraper to left and Clarke stumb'’ed and could not get it. Then Heine Peitz sent another of his good ones for three bases. Sheehan went out from short to first and Samuels flew out to left. Clarke sent the ball hum- ming to short and McCreary threw in. Warner fell all over the sphere and it bound- ed away. Peltz trotted Gown the line and crossed the plate. In the eighth, with two out Ehret sur- rised everybody by lining out a home run, sooley an uinn followed with singles, and with McCréery’s ‘ow throw of Miller's hit things went lively. verybody that came to the hat madea hit. Dowd singled Ely mace a 8 Peltz, Sheehan and Samuels singled and every time a u.. was made someone scored, pill g up seven runs. For the Louisvilles, in the fourth Gettin- ger singled. Wright and Spies were dou- bled and Warner got his base on balls. The latter started to steal second and Peltz threw down slowly. Ely got there, but cou'd not get the ball back soon enough and Gettinger crossed the plate. Samuels and Sheehan were responsible for the runs in the fifth. O’Brien hit to third and Samuels threw high to first, allowing the runrer to go to second. Then Collins hit‘ to center and Sheehan was asleep, and when he woke up he danced around the ball. Clarke's long fly to center allowed O'Brien to score. Colling.scored on Ely’s error of McCreery’s hit. Spies hit for four bases in the sixth and in the next Clarke did the same trick. In the eighth Warner sent a beautiful three-bagger to center and it bounded into the new ground. A moment later Ely jug- gled Weyhing’s hit and Warner scored. Then came one of the prettiest plays that the Browns have made. Clarke made an | infield hit and Miller got it. George stood | and watched Weyhing trying to get in from third and then threw home. Clarke ran half way down to second and O’Brien, who was on second, half way to third. Peitz threw down to Ely and Weyhirg tried to get in, but Bly’s lightning work cut him off and then Peits jet Fred and Samuels have it to run down O’Brien, which they succeeded in 988 In the ninth McCreery singled and scored on Gettinger’s long drive to right for three bases and the latter came in on Wright's fly to left.

He is a Yorkshire man and arrived in Chili when he was but 23 years old. Originally a boiler riveter, he found employment in the town of Huasco. At this time the nitrate fields of Peru were beginni to be talked of as fields for speculation. 6 had a talent for mechanics and mastered every detail! of the business.

Although be ies a chief figure at the race tracks, he is too busy a man to simply sit down and look on. He is interested in many new schemes, most of which have proved more than profitable.

He would as soon race with his tenants as with a lot of prince- lings. Once he was master of the “Gicrious Cheshire Hounds,” and once won the blue. ribbon of the day.

There are, of course, other great indi- vidual fortunes such as those of Baron Hirsch, the Astors and the Rothschilds.

Mosar ts ruminating in a Workhouse cell over the ills of married life. He is serving a six months sentence for chasing his wife, Irene, with a butcher | knife three weeks ago. Yesterday Mrs. Mosar sued for divorce and she may be loosed from the bonds that bind her to the defendent before he is free again. They separated last August, but three weeks ago Mosar met his wife at his mother’s house. He called ber names, and finally, drawing a long blade from his bosom, said ; to her: “Your time has come.” rs. Mosar did not believe it, but she kept at a safe distance from her husband and when he caugnt hold of her and pol! his weapon, she broke and ran. A trol- man came to the rescue and Police Justice Stevenson did the rest. In her petition Mrs. Mosar stated that they were married in St. Louis Feb. 14. 1889. She alleges that the defendant is shiftless and indolent and has faiied to support her and their two children, She has been obliged to maintain herself and Mlittle ones by working in a tobacco factory assistance from her mother. „ he was off fishing Mogar aiso states defendant to Mrs. Christopher’s Cause for Divorce.

It is defined as a quack doctor,” one who, mounted on a bank or bench in a public concourse, proclaims the virtues of the drugs he has for sale. The word fakir has been given in Amer ica to street merchants and monntebanks.

For the rest the Hindoo fakir is a rellg ous enthusiast, and rded as possessing extraordinary. sanctity. The American fakir is not re- garded as possessing any. The fakir is not to be confounded with the faker. The latter is the name applied in England to a thief or pickpocket. The fakir does not steal or pick pockets.

A buyer was found, perhaps a confederate. A minute later the fakir bought the box back for a dollar. Half a dozen other buyers were similarly made winners by investing. A rush set in. Then there came a lull. Will you buy this box?’ gaid the fakir, singling out a bystander. No? then you'll be sorry for it,“ and then he sold the box and bought it back for $2. Then he produced a dozen boxes ,and with much circumstance put the initials of each purchaser on the lid. The rush set in again and he sold them as fast as he could pull them out and make change. Then when there were no more buyers he walked off without doing the buying back act. He had to get away in haste to keep from being mobbed by the disappointed crowd. And yet he had not got money on false pre- tenses. He had not promised to buy back a single box. Moreover, all the buyers had sense enough to know he was not doing business for his health, but each took a chance, as a gambler would, of being one of the lucky ones, and, unlike the gambler, could not take his loss gracefully. The tooth powder was probably dear at a dime.

Enough was made ublic, however, to show conclusively that — had prostituted the Treasury to the use of himeelf ard his friends. It was discovered that Henry Seiter, a presumed-to-be wealthy banker of a- non, III., owed the State over $250,000, which this bosom friend and former rt- er, Ramsey, had loaned to him of the State's funds. Ramsey's bondsmen—the Chicago syndicate—naturally looked in Sei- ter’s direction to recover at least a part of their money, namely, the quarter of a million Seiter owed amsey. The syndicate, through its agents, began to press Seiter for a settiement. e man- aged to stave them off for awhile, but finally they shut down on him and his bank at Lebanon closed its doors, with large Ha- bilities and few assets. Seiter’s affairs were found to be in a worse state even than Ramsey’s. his debt to the State Treasury, his r to the amount of over $50, was held by St. Louis banks, and his depositors were legion. His failure created tire wildest ex- citement in Lebanon and vicinity. Thou- sands of the farmers and poorer classes of the adjacent country, placing implicit con- fidence in Se'ter’s integrity, had kept all their spare money in his bank. Judge their dismay on learning of his bankruptcy. There was literally weeping and waliing in Lebanon. resented cate for the Illinois with a chec Throughout the temporary excitement Beiter remained unmoved, and assured his friends that he would pull through all right. As he was generally regarded as a man of great wealth, popular excitement subsided somewhat after few days. When means of settling up the estate were discussed many propositions wera submitted. The Chicago syndicate, being the largest credi- tor, naturally had a great deal to say in the matter. The syndicate, from the first, favored the afternoon, in the St. ctalr Coun- Besides appointment of a Board of Trustees to straighten out the tangle and deal cquitably with all the creditors. Subsequent to the discove of Ramsey's Gefalcation and prior to the failure of Seiter agents of the syndicate had induced Seiter to transfer to it all his available col- lateral. Thus when he failed it virtually held everything of Seiter’s that could be easily transferred. This property was esti- mated to be worth about $100,000. Outside of it Seiter did not have enough to pay 10 per cent of. his outstanding Habillttes, which in- cluded the mortgage money of farmers, as well as the widows’ mite. Thus it was clear- ly to the interest of the syndicate to get the settlement into the hands of trustees—espe- cially if the trustees suited the syndicate. Possibly, next to the syndicate, Seiter’s rest e {tors were the St. Louis banks t had his paper. It is said that these banks pooled their claims and agreed to k together for all they could get. The St. Louis banks were the only formidable obstacle in the way of the syndifate run- ning things as it pleased. hs may ac- count for the recognition St. Lou's received ‘in the appointment of the trustees. The question now arises, Is not an effort be made to squeeze out the small credit- ors and divert the bulk of the property to the Chicago and St. Louls bankers? Such ugly rumors as this are now current about anon. Such action would perpet- rate a fearful hardship on the small army of humble depositors that Seiter numbers among his creditors. These people can III afford to lose any of their hard-earned money. The appointment of F. M. Blount as one of the trustees seems pecultar under the cir- cumstances. Blount is cashier of the Chi- cago National Bank, whose President, John f Walsh, was one of Ramsey's bondsmen. e has represented the interests of the syndicate all along, and the humble credit- ors argue that it is idle to expect him not to cortinue to do so. the East St. Louls bank- ore appeared in the mat- Henry D.

When Roed- iger looked up he saw Potter standing just outside the saloon door on the Lee avenue front with his pistol cocked and pointed straight at West. . Just then he uttered an oath and said he would kill West. The latter had evidently expected Potter to come back to the saloon for the purpose of killing him, as he faced his chair towards the door when he first came in and never took his eyes off of it. He was the first man in the saloon to see Potter and his murderous weapon. With remarkable presence of mind West seized the nearest man to him and forced him along in front of him towards the door. — jumped between West and his human shield and Potter and made for the door, but before he got there West had slammed it shut and tried to remonstrate with Potter, but to no avail Meanwhile West had drawn his revolver and made hs way to the sidewalk.

Vaughan, formerly on the Grand avenue and Cherokee street lines, respectively, of the Union Depot Rallway Co., are locked up at the Four Courts charged with attempting fraud in counter- feiting children’s tickets of the Scullin lines. A ÜUthographer named Wm. Sampson was also arrested, but was taken to Chicago yesterday morning, where he is wanted on the same charge. The scheme to which Vaughn and Dra- g00 have confessed was the counterfeiting of children’s tickets of the Union Depot line. After being printed they were to have been turned over to Dragoo, who was to sell them. Kau nh, 80 Dragoo says, ex- pected to be put on the line as conductor in a few days and he also was to sell the counterfeit tickets. Sampson, who is a lithographer by trade, was to manufacture the tickets at his place of business in Chi- Caro. This plan had been fully prepared by the men, and money enough had been raised and turned over to Sampson to get the tic- kets out. Vaughan, Kaufman and Dragoo tell con- filicting stories of thelr connection with the intended counterfeiting. Dragoo’s ac- count is credited by the police, because he has made a straightforward confession, Vaughan, Kaufman and Sampson. Dragoo is about 28 years old. He ts married and lives at 1716 Texas avenue. His story is that about a month ago Vaughan, who was then out of employment, boarded his car and told him he had a scheme for making money, out- lining the counterfeiting plan. Dragoo says he consented to sell these tickets for a per- centage. Several days ago Vaughan again boarded his car and introduced Sampson. The trio discussed their plans. Sampson said he was a lithographer and could make the child- ren's tickets at a very low figure. The profits, he said, would be enormous. Then W and Sampson left the car and that, Dragoo says, was the last he saw of them. He claimed to have had no fur- ther connection with the 22 fraud than to have consented to dispose the tickets. Vaughan, when seen, was N to learn what would be done W. him, but would make no complete statement.

The rai!road will be great- ly benefited by the scheme, increasing its tre ht traffic. Hence they are anxious to see the plans carried out, and it is under- stood that together with the Chicago, Bur- li on and Quincy railroad and the Wa- bash, they will purchase about one-third of the stock of the new syndicate, organized to ect the “St. Louis Manufacturing effort is being made to keep the scheme from becoming public property.

During the past year a large number of manufactures have mcved to this city from evrrounding points. The site of the new manufacturing district is at present a wild and picturesque stretch of part prair.e and wooded land. Numerous inqu ries have mn made regarding the intentions of the holders of this property. The result of the present negotiations is awaited with much interest. Considering the amount of influence and money back of the scheme, the conservative speculators predict a fav- orable result. A move was made in this direction yes- terday by the incorporation of the Holla- Gay-Kiatz Land and Lumber Co., with a capital stock of $600,000 paid . The stock ie divided into 1,200 shares of each.

Large Number of Costly Structures Lo- cated in St. Louis. There are more magnificent office builld- ings located in St. Louis than in any other city this side of the Mississippi River, and new projects are talked of every day for additional structures. It is because there is demand for office rooms in first-class uildings. Business men advance with the times and the cid-fashioned walk upstairs” structures are deserted,for the modern ‘sky-ecraper.” This is the answer given by the realty investor when asked where the tenants in new buildings come from. It is a prevail- ing opinion among a large number of the slightly interested that office building ten- ants are movers, and flood into new build- ings as scon as they are erected. But per- donn familiar with office rental business know better. In addition to the above ex- | planation the ready rental of offices is easily | explained by the rapid growth of business | in St. Louis. Firms renting one office, or bably desk-rocm @ few years ago find t necessary to get more room. Probably only a few outside of the ini- tiated know that every square foot of floor- ing in the big office buildings is figured upon | to yield just so much of the income of the investor. A large number of the sky-scrap- ers are rented by the square foot, the ten- ant paying so much per year per square foot. Among the big office buildings in the city that could be matched with any ir the country are the following:( The Wainwright, | on the northwest corner of Seventh and Chestnut, the Laclede bullding, southwest | corner of Fourth and Olive; Rialto, north- | east corner of Fourth and Olive; the Col- umbia, southeast corner of Eighth and Lo- | cust: Turner bullding, E‘ghth between Olive and Locust; Odd Fellows’, southeast cor- ner of Ninth and Olive; Globe-Democrat bullding at Sixth and Pine; Secur:ty bu:id- ing, Union Trust, Seventh and Olive; Equ't- able at Sixth and Locust; Commercial bu.id- ing at Sixth and Olive; Bank of Commerce building, northeast corner of epee wey, and Olive and several others, The Union Trust building ts the tallest of the structures. alue of floor space in these structures rarge from $1.10 to $2 per square foot per year.

It was an exceedingly hot day. “he sun was shining down with all the refu.gence 1 and glare of an August afternoon, and the a thermometer registered somewhere in the nineties. „O, General,” said the younger man, hail- ing a small, military-appearing old gentle man, stand here in the shade a moment, please, and permit me to ask you a few questions.”’* P “Why should I stand out of the sun?” The reply was eminently characteristic, for it came from Gen. A. J. Smith, an old soldier, who has seen more campaigns and, been in more countries than any other man in St. Louis to day. Gen. Smith is slight of stature. Se is prpbably not over 6 feet 6 inches high and he doesn’t weigh over 140 pounds. He dresses in the conventional blue of the Grand Army and wears a soft black hat, regardiess of the weather. It is said of him that he never wore an overcoat in his life, and it is probably true, for to this day he is proud of the fact that he does not fear any. sort.of weather—or any description of man or beast, for that matter. The "Gene lives in a three-story, gray- stone front out on Washington avenue, near Garrison. is pension from the Govern- ment enables him to live in some style, and his beautiful home is the envy of the neigh- borhood. He walks a great deal, but not very far from his house, and while he is egy ae curt and dignified with men, all he children in that end of the city are his stanch and unflinching friends. Gen. Smith was building a railroad in Asia when the first gun was fired on Fort Bumpter. He had graduated as an engineer from West Point, and taken a position Abroad because there was then no sign that his services would ever be needed in this country. But he heard about Fort Sumpter and on the 4th day of July, 1861, he had reached Alaska on his way home. Upon arriving at St. Louls, some time after the battle of Wilson’s Creek, he went to work to gather up a regiment. It was no easy matter, then, but he accomplished it and staré. u a campeign which carried success th it from start to finish. From St. Louis he took his army southward into Arkansas, thence across into Mississippi, participating in many of the brilliant bat- tles of that region—thence back again into Arkansas, and at last he was ordered to follow Gen. Price into Missouri and drive him from the State. That was no easy commission. ,Price was then in command of an army which had swept everything be- and it was expected that his prog- ress through this State would be a tri- march. And so it was until he began to be pressed by Gen. Smith. Thereafter his movements were accelerated and from Central Missouri he turned in a southeasterly direction going rapidly over a difficult road until he crossed the Mississippi River and was well out of danger from the enemy in the rear. I remember Well the first time I ever saw Gen. A. J. Smith. It was on a hot, bifster- fug day in July or August. His army had to pass through Sedalia—then a vil- lage of one long street—just before noon. The soldiers marched eight and twelve abreast, and were apparently fresh and in good condi „ notwithstanding their long tramp from Ar sas. They were cer- tainly in good spirits, for while they were not Fleet yo to stop, occasionally a soldier would step out of line, run his bayorfet into u Watermelon or a ham or any other con- venient edible that chanced to be in front of a grocery store, and stepping back to his comrades would receive a welcoming and congratulatory shout. The bands of this army were particularly good, and the music they made as they — 42 forward to what they deemed certain victory, joined with the oyous notes of the trumpets, could be heard or miles. It was late in the afternoon, posibly be- tween & and 4 o'clock, when the last man of Gen. Smith's army marched down the one street of Sedalia cloud of dust. General. er by long since, all aglitter with gold and riding the finest horses. Half an hour went by and then there came sauntering into the town a jaded horse, whose rider sat with one leg thrown over the horn of his saddle. It was Gen. Smith. His soft black hat was pulled well down over his eyes to shade his face from the blistering sun, and his militar Buit was covered with dust. The small epaulets told who he was. But he looked neither to the right nor to the left, and was apparently absorbed in por forward into the dust which his army had kicked up. It was neatly thirty years before I saw him again, on the streets of St. Louis, but to my mind he looked as dignified and as indifferent to his surroundings as he did on that day when as a boy I saw him ride through the town of Sedalia. . Smith is nearly 70 years old now. At t I would judge from my knowledge the man’s history. He has no sketch of is life, and always says with a wink that has loaned everything about himself to admiring friends, who have forgotten to return it. In truth he doesn’t care any- thing for notoriety. He has had enough of it to satisfy any man, and he is best pleased to be let alone. stands as straight as an arrow, with the free and quick step of a when spoken to h Cane goes up to his hat in a milita r Man, and ‘ > oh that is both cheerful and gratify- pas ‘ , 8 Fu Aas A we 7 om It looks, a London Correspondent, as ‘the minuet js destined, for a time, at all ‘ents, t ) re ne its graceful sway in the a Bon aga oo JD or two ttemp : f Neha W We, N rer eS Pere, 8 We a Ly | ; N Novel Methods of Incubating Al- ligators and Lobsters. Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Florida has a new and remarkable in- dustry, the artificial propagation of alli- gators. For supplying the trade in Florida curiosities there is a large demand for young reptiles of this kind. In Jacksonville, which is the center of the traffic, from 8,000 to 10,000 alligators are sold to tourists an- nually—nearly: all of them baby ones. The latter are collected by professional hunters, who receive for them from $20 to $25 a hun- dred. Some of them are disposed of alive at retail, but many are stuffed. An infant pligater “gg vod 2 25 cents more than a live one. Sa ns to twelve feet lon fetch $12 to $26. = The difficulty of securing young alligators in sufficient numbers has led to the estab- lishment of this stra business. To find the nests of reptiles in comparatively easy, and the are shipped in bulk by the hunters to Jacksonville. In that city there are twelve dealers in alligators, the best known of them being & man who has earned the soubriquet of “Alligator Davis.”’ It was he who 0 nated the incubator system, which is simple enough. The eggs, about the size of goose eggs, are plac in boxes of sand and covered up. The boxes are exposed to the torrid rays of a semi- tropical sun, and in a few days the lizards ‘are hatched. They are then six inches or so in length. Some of them are killed and stuffed as soon as they see daylight, It is estimated that 2,500, all were killed in Florida between an . In 1889 three fimms located at Kissimmee handled 36,00 hides. ey my hing same year twelve hunters brought to Fort Pierce 4,000 pelts. Two firms in Jacksonville handled 60,000 skins in 1889. A few years ago an expert hunter could easily secure alli- gators in three weeks, — one man at Co- coa killed forty-two in one night. The skins are paid for in provisions and ammunition mainly. Dealers get 65 cents apiece for them from tanners in New York. In 1890 about 250 pounds of alligator teeth were sold, hunters receiving from $1 to $2 a pound for them. They are re ved by burying the heads and rottinw out the teeth. Of the best teeth about seventy make a .pound. The socking of the Atlantic Coast waters with artificially hatched lobsters is the most interesting experiment that new en- gages the attention of the United States Fish Commission. The enterprise is being conducted at Wood’s Holl, ass., where during the present summer the enormous number of 81,800,000 lobster have been taken and subjected to the incubator process. Of these 71,000,000 were actually hatched. The female lebsters in spawn are ob- tained from fishermen, and each one is held by the tall while the egg masses are re- moved by gentle scraping with a dull wooden knife. The eggs are attached to the swimmerets of the animal. The mother lobster carries from 6,000 to $0,000 eggs. They are Olive-green in color, and, as the time of hatching approaches, the shell becomes so translucent that the little creatures may be seen coiled up inside of them. ' To hatch them is the simplest manner in the world. They are put into an ordinary glass jar, through which a continuous stream of fresh water flows, keeping the eggs agitated. After a few days the young lobsters emerge from the shells, shrimp-like and almost transparent. They look not the least like adults of. their species. Now comes the dangerous part of their existence. By the time they are forty- eight hours old they have begun to prey upon each other. They are veritable canni- bals, and no matter how much food is given to them . 4 are eager to gobble their companions. it is out of the ques- gd 18 keep a number ot them together in When they are a day old the young lob- sters are put Into twelve-gallon milk cans, one of which serves to hold 200,000 or 300,000 of the infant crustaceans.

Agitation for a Stamp Which Would Carry Letters Between All Nations. There ig some talk in France of bringing about the adoption of an international postage stamp. It is proposed to invite the nations composing the Postal Union to adopt a special kind of stamp for interna- tional communications. Among the argu- ments put forth for the creation of the new stamp are the following: I. The stamps would come in very handy for per- sons desirous of forwarding very small sums of money from one country to an- other. 2. It would enable the sender of a letter from one country to another to inclose for reply. 8. Travelers would wel- be able to communicate with their friends in the country when they set out on their travels without being com- pelled to replenish their stock of stamps at every frontier. On the other hand, before the idea could be put into practice there would be a num- ber of difficulties to surmount. The differ- ent countries of the Postal Union could not be permitted to manufacture as many international postage stamps as they thought fit; for it would be very eapy, if such were the case, for one country to manufacture an enormous quantity and sell them to a neighboring state, thus depriving the latter country of legitimate budgetary profit. The promoter of the idea, therefore, proposes the creation at Berne, Switzerland, of a gentral bureau, empowered to manu- facture a certain number of five-cent post- 8 8 to annually. These would be dis- a te the population. The stamps now in t con * oe 2 * * * * + * Ne oD N . Saale Pie, U ted to the several states proportion * A NEW RIDING « HABIT FOR WOMEN a nnn... Countess Hohenau and Her Strik- ing Corduroy Knickerbockers. Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Here is a new triumph for the dress re- formers—the abolition of the side-saddle for woman equestrians and the invention of a fin-de-siecle riding costume. This riding innovation has the support of royalty, which will undoubtedly help it on to suc- cess. The pioneer ig none other than the Countess Fritz Hohenau, a cousin of the German Emperor by the marriage of one of his uncles to Fraulein von Rauch, She is now organizing a riding club among aris- tocratic Berlin women, one purpose of which is the introduction of the fashion of riding a horse like a man. . Her ladyship is a lovely woman and, for a German, extraordinarily fond of outdoor sports. She may be in the Kaiser's society almost daily when His Majesty is in Berlin or Potsdam. They drive, ride, hunt and row together. The Countess started her crusade against “the dangerous and inconvenient side-sadle’’ by devising a new riding costume. Then she got together a little band of high-born ladies, who prom- ised to wear it to the exclusion of the old- time habit. The following is an accurate ‘description of the costume: A shirt waist and wide corduroy knicker- bockers, with tan leggings; russet, patent or leather boots; around the waist a leather girdle, and covering the body to the knees a long frock coat of soft and clinging material, with ample skirts. Thus attired, with a jaunty jockey cap or silk hat over her wavy blonde hair, Countess Fritz and a handful of her more daring friends, all be- stride their horses, have been seen canter- ing through the Thiergarten or the parks of the Neu es Palais. AUNT BETSY w Ark BEARS. — * Remarkable Catskill Dame With Famous Twins. Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Aunt Betsy Lewis of Haines Falls, N. Y., is the foster-mother of a remarkable pair of twins. Even the “Heavenly Twins” and the extraordinary pair chronicled in Mark Twain’s “Puddin’'-Head Wilson“ are dis- counted by the pranks of Aunt Betsy's twins. They are two small black bears, with sharp teeth, wicked eyes and short, strong, ungainly legs, which terminate in broad paws and business-like claws. They were captured in the Catskill Mountains a few weeks ago, and Aunt Betsy, who is some- what of a wag and will have her joke with the city folk who stop at her road-house on the turnpike, declares that she went out hunting one a and brought them back in her apron. No one gainsays this. For sixty bears were captured this last year in Greene County, in the Catskills, whereof the bounty has been duly paid and recorded by the authorities and Aunt Betsy's prow- ess is know throughout the country side. Aunt Betsy is a typical mountaineer and a local celebrity, fresh-cheeked, vigorous and muscular as an Amazon. Her brawny arms are a match for the fisticuffs of any man in the neighborhood, and her wits are as sharp at bargains and the small change of repartees as the original Dame Rip Van Wingle's. Aunt Betsey sells soft“ drinks, cigars, popcorn and sugar candy from the front porch of her cot > and the summer guests in an ’s land stop in passing these days for a glimpse of her twin bears. She is, like Trilby, a noted blanchisseuse, and the lawns and laces a BIKE RIDING MADE EASY. * Some Ingenious Inventions to Aid the Beginner. Written for The Sunday Post-Dispatch. After two years of experimentation a New Yorker has turned out an automatic bicycle instructor of which he has strong hopes. The inventor claims that any one can learn to ride a bicycle, with the aid of this attachment, within an hour. The appliance, which looks like a carpet sweeper, is secured to the lower part of the framework of a bicycle. The wheel is then bound to stand up. It cannot fall. The pupil is thus taught to acquire a seat. Little wheels on the under side of the in- structor permit it to run freely over the floor, But still it is impossible for the wheel to tip over. The machine is intended for use in academies. ; 4 The bane of the touring wheelman is the country dog, which runs out snapping and snarling, often causing serious accidents. To meet this annoying feature of suburban travel a New York wheelman has taken out a patent on what he calls a “dog gun.” It is a small rubber affair with a nozzle like the atomizers used in the toilet, and it is designed to be filled with ammonia. No dog with his eyes full of the biting liquid will continue an attack. icycle races are to be included in the re- vival of the Olympic games at Athens, Greece, next year. A. Mercati, Secretary of the Hellenic Committee of the Inter- national Olympic games, writes that a cycling track will opened up between Athens and New Phalerum, and that during the games, which will last from April 5 to 15, there will be short and long distance races with and without pacemakers.

Countess Hohenau has been eminently successful in obtaining the approval of gentiewomen willing an eager to form a new anti-side-saddle league, and when the court and society return to Berlin in a month or so it is expected that the Thier- rten will swarm with Amazons who ride ike those of olden times. It was the Countess Hohenau whose name was linked with that of the Emperor in the anonymous Von Kotze correspondence last year. As a result of it she retired from society and went to Hanover.

It is told on the evi- dence of two reputable citizens—A. L. Bar- tlebaugh, a prominent grain buyer of Nes ton, and J. W. Miller, a Dunkard farmer of Walton. Mr. Miller has lost eight fine cows as the result of the strange freak of a monster bull snake that has fattened from the milk he has sucked from udders of Mr. Miller’g herd. For several weeks the farmer has noticed that his cows have come up to the barnyard occasionally in an excited condition. One of them was in variably without milk, and its bag was badly swollen and inflamed. The cow in a few hours would die apparently in great agony. Mr. Miller, after mane eight cows, determined to learn the cause of the trouble. One day he noticed that one of the cows was racing — about the pasture at terrible rate and in a state of great excite- ment, which was soon felt by all the other cattle in the the cow Mr. Miller saw a m feet in length, im a * — * of the summer girl are things of beauty when they come from Aunt Betsey’s clear- starching laundering. Beyond tunis, Aunt Betsey is a bit of a literary character, and writes aint little screeds for the county papers under the nom de plume which has made her “Aunt Betsey’’ to all the Catskill Mountain folk. It is told in the village conclaves that Aunt Betsey is afraid of neither men nor bears. There was but recently a stalwart six-footer who made sheep’s eyes at the comely matron across her little refreshment counter, and offered her too fulsome at- tentions. Aunt Betsey promptly knocked him down and laid him out in the road as a warning to thése who should come after. One came. He boasted that he was not to be “knocked out by a woman.” Aunt Bet- sey girded up to her loins and went forth to battle, and the boaster departed with his mouth full of dust and his soul full of bitterness. Still later Aunt Betsey went forth upon the mountains, while the season was yet young. And behold a she-bear and her cubs were strolling that way. Would Aunt Betsey daunt and turn aside in her path? ot she! It is now a legend of the mountains that Aunt Betsey killed the bear. There are surely the twins in evidenge. They are named “Jack” and “Miss Bruno.”’ Jack is much more playful than his sister, and less ferocious. Bless you! I just let te and knew they’d get tired fun before I would.

A QUEER SMOKE. Some of the Odd Substances Used stead of Tobacco. It is hard to think of anything else than tobacco in connection with pipes. Cer- tainly hardly any substance with the ex- ception of the “fragrant weed” is now in general use, in civilized countries, at least. But it is a fact well worth pasting in every smoker's hat that, taking the world altogether, from its dawn to the present time, tobacco, as is known to-day, has been the least favored substance of all for fill- ing the pipe bowl. Ihnumerable are the substances that have been adopted at various times by nations on the boundaries of civilization or in far- away parte of the globe for “pipe fillings.” Here, however, is a list, and one that has a good deal novelty about it.

Another story of mushroom poisoning has recently been published, and, as it is every summer, the question is again raised as to the difference between mushrooms that are edible and those that it is death to eat. What complicates the question is the enormous difference of authorities.“ They contradict each other on every hand. To judge from the rules laid down by one man, it is a certain and speedy way of usher- ing one’s self out of the world to go by the card of any one else, The importance of mushrooms can be seen from the fact that chemists and gastronomists have pronounced them prac- tically ammal food for the reason that their flesh is almost identical in its prop- erties with meat, and has precisely the same nourishing qualities. On paper it is well nigh impossible to set down y rule for the guidance of the man or woman who will go forth into the fields and gather carelessly. There is this | to say, that unless one has a full scientific knowledge of the many different species, the collecting of them for food is a danger- ous matter. Though to naturalists each species has its own marked points of differ- ence, these points will pass the attention of the casual seeker and he will go astray. THE NEW WOMAN IN TURKEY. — She Wants Harem Laws and Cus- toms Abolished. Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Woman's emancipation is a new issue, even in the most secret depths of the harems of Constantinople. The Turkish women are in revolt. The agitation for en- fanchisement and independence which has taken such firm root in the United States and Europe has caused not simply a ripple but a turbulent whirlwind in the Turk’s hitherto suffnissive household. It is even said that the men are siding with the women, and enfranchisement seems to as anxiously demanded by them as it is by their wives. In this connection Richard Davey article on the Present Condition of in Turkey,” presents some phases of the life of Turkish to-day. “A Turkish am who glish perfectly and who is, besides an excellent musician, recently said that her condition and that of other women of her race was daily becoming more intolerable. ‘Is it not terrible to think,’ she said, ‘that 1 who am so passionately fond of music and whom my hus would only too happy to please in n should be forbidden at the risk of my life to go to a theater or concert; that I am forever forbidden to go ooutside the confines of the Ottoman Empire and that any interchange of ideas is an impossibility to me with the in an omen If one must gather in the meadows, the safest way is to have some scientific friend point outa 8 safe s ies. Examine this carefully in all its — have its minutest points fixed firmly in your mind and never gather anything ‘ If one will not follow these instructions three bits of advice should be taken into account. Be sure that the mushrooms picked are perfectly fresh and have not the Slightest signs of decay. If they have, they will act precisely the same on the system as does putrid meat, only far more alarm- ingly. In this connection remember to cook them immediately. Cook in the simplest way—broiling is the best method—and without fat or butter. Fat or butter will disguise the taste that a mushroom naturally has, and one may thus eat a considerable quantity of a poison- ous variety without being aware of it, while if the mushroom is cooked simply and is not smothered in fat, it often gives out danger signals of its own by its strange bitter taste. The symptoms of mushroom poisoning are nausea, extreme drowsiness, heavy stupor and severe pains in the joints. The most efficacious remedy is a smart dose of sweet oll, which may half with Sg half and half with vine- gar, or else en pure. There is some- thing in sweet oil that seems to negative the ison. In Italy cases of mushroom poison- ng seldom occur for the reason that mush- rooms when eaten are invariably cooked in sweet oil, and the interior economy of the Italian nation anyway is fully and completely saturated with it. The old theory used that edible mushrooms grew only in short grass and in pastureland, and never in boggy, marshy ound, but recent scientific investigation as proved this to be quite false as an absolute rule. The champignon, for ex- the famous little mushroom of which is not more than half the size of the English or American mush- room, and is a standing card in French cookery, grows excellently in swampy es mush- Nearly all the other regardin — truth ta! been overturned.

At ig noteworthy that since the Turkish -— — men have mingled so freely with Europeans the desire for a new regime has grown steadily. It touches their vanity that they are forbidden to show off their wives, who, it is acknowledged, are possessed of the most beautiful eyes and are owners of more recious jewelry than any of the most fash- onable women of the Diplomatic Corps. One of the ridiculous laws of the land is that which forbids a husband to go into a shop with his wife on his arm, but obliges him to walk twelve steps behind her.“ There is a law which forbids a Turkish woman to divorce herself without her_hus- band’s consent. But the authorities rm that this law does not prevent divorces from being even more frequent in Turkey than in the United States. Perhaps the reason why the men of Tur- key are not reluctant that their wives should complain of the matrimonial laid — for them by the Prophet is easily explained by — the 1 — of four timate wives may be, they im cares expen- ses on the husband, which are often beyond the means of tification.

A Disciple of Schopenhauer At- tacks You Bitterly, WILL YOU ENDURE IT? Says You Are “Undersized, Narrow Shouldered, Broad-Hipped, Short- Legged and Knock-Kneed.“ * The following astounding letter, received and published by the New York World, de- mands attention from all wontén. The Sun- day Post-Dispatch reprints it because it is but fair that women throughout the en- tire country should know that there ex- ists on this continent a man—a soured and scornful student of Schopenhauer—who dares attack the sex on the score of certain ridiculous alleged physical shortcomings. already charged against them by Schopen- hauer himself. Shall Schopenhauer and his American disciple be permitted thus to libel the most beautiful of created things and go unpunished, or, which is worse, unanswered? This is a question which women alone can decide. The columns of the Sunday Post-Dispatch are open to all its feminine readers for a chance to de- molish these libelers of their sex. Their communications will be printed on this page. It is a matter of simple justice that both sides of the question should be heard. Here's the letter: To the Editor of the World. If you think that in this age of woman’s rights, or, rather, of woman’s domineer- ing, anything can be printed against the misnamed far sex,“ please print this let- ter. It is based upon reliable observation and upon sincere conviction. It should fill woman with a sense of modesty which becomes more and more foreign to her. It should recall her to her proper place in the world—that of a necessary, useful, but not intellectual or beautiful member of society. I take for my text this extract from Schopenhauer’s essay on woman: “It is only the man whose intellect is clouded by his sexual impulses that could give the name fair sex to that under-sized, narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped, short- legged tace (woman) * * *Instead of call- ing them beautiful there would be more warrant for describing woman as the un- aesthetic sex.“ Of course, the average woman who al- ways talks first and refiects—if at all— afterwards, will reply to these eternally true observations without having given them due consideration. But are they not true? Is not woman under-sized? She is, and no one will deny it. prove it—every one knows it. 2 woman not narrow shoulders? As. Is she not ridiculously broad-hipped? She is. Her place in the scheme of the universe —that of mother of man’s children—makes it necessary for her to have broad hips, but the broad hips are none the less hideous because necessary. 9 Is not woman short-legged to a laughable sogrecs She is; and, what is more, although Schopenhauer does not mention it, she is crooked-legged.

Any artist will confirm this. very doctor condemned to labor in the dissecting-room will tell you what a hideous thing woman really is when the glamour of life and our emotions do not distort our vision. Woman's legs are among nature’s horrors. Perhaps now and again there may a good pair, but they are rarer than white crows. Ask the men who organize ballets and select girls to dance in tights. It is not a question of getting good legs, but of gettting the least ugly ones that can be found. Why is it that a woman in bloomers or in trousers looks like a picked chicken? It is because her legs, even traced in out- Une. are hateful to our sight. Every man knows if it were not for the fact that we are childish about women we would pass laws forbidding them to obtrude their legs Upon gur sight in any fashion under any oo. The older and more sensible na- cover up women as much the greater part of the day. > r Not satisfied with their natural ugliness Women aggravate it in man ways. Why has the Trilby yarn so excited the universe? Because its author pretends to discover a woman with good feet. Vanity makes of every woman's foot a hideous deformity. How many women will deny that they have feet cramped and toes twisted out of shape. I hope that men and women will not treat this communication lightly. If wo- man could be made to feel her inferiority, physical as well as mental, she would, or at least might, improve in many ways. Unhappily, man for selfish reasons, praises all that woman is and does. She, natural) recognizing her ewn inferiority, accepts all that man says and assumes that she is beautiful and perfect because he says she is. If men would recognise women's short- comings, their badly made bodies, their de- ficient intellects, their barbarous crimes by paint and powder, their savage piercing of their ears, their deformed feet, their physi- cal inferiority as a whole, the effect on women and future generations would be great. I make the following statements, and I anne any man or woman to refute em: Man is more beautiful than woman. He is better made. His legs are better, his muscles are more fully developed.

E. less intolerable to me because An Interesting Romance and ‘Adventure on the Coast of Maryland. — I always meant to be a lawyer. When I was thrown upon the world, an orphan, at 10 years of age, without a penny, no plan nor purpose but that. I used to write my name on the fences with a burned stick ohn C. Ladd, attorney at law—and gently rub it out again. I was an errand boy, then a farm hand, picking up what schooling I could; then I taught in winter, and went to college-in summer; then I worked in the field in summer; and went to the law school in winter. And now, there I was at 23, John C. Ladd, attorney at law, without a dollar and no prospects of earning one. Peatville was an ambitious country town, her lawyers did not teach nor plough. My hands .were tied., I had paid the rent of my office, a tiny wooden building, with a Closet at the back in which I slept. I was already in debt for my board at Mommy Dido’s eating-house. The motherly old body suspected the truth, I fancy, and used herself to bring me the hottest waffles and crispest bits of chicken, her black face beaming with good-will. But I choked with ame as I ate. —47 hands were tied, as B said. There I was forced to sit, idle, day after day, in my new office, with my brand new inkstand and clean pens, waiting for clients, watch- ing the farmers in court week crowd into the big room opposite, where Lawy y Silas Bdison sat, as he had done for thirt)’ years, chewing tobacco and! ing filthy jokes. BEidison was vulgar and, pid. and belonged to a worn-out school; but his father and andfather had been lawyers and Silas sons, and atville was conservative. Worst of all, I was engaged to be married. I cursed my want of sense, every day, in coming to Peatville, in studying law, in struggling to be anything but a farm-hand; but never blamed myself for securing that one most priceless thing in the world— Dolly Pierson's love. | Dolly’s story was that of tens of thou- sands of American girls. Her father, the physician in. another Maryland town, sur- rounded her with 1 le he lived, and dying, left not a dollar to buy her bread and meat. The French are wiser than we. If I am ever bl with a daughter, she shall have a dower laid by for her if she wears calico gowns all of her lite. Well, Dr. erson being dead, I begged Dolly to me at once, that I might work for her, as it was my right to do. “7 will throw up the law,“ I said; I can got a clerkship that will pay enough to keep both. us Dolly never was reckoned a scholar, but She a good brain for business under her curly poll. “You want to fish in the world as the ne- groes do in the bay.“ she said, “catch her- ring all of your life, when, with other bait um t pull in turtles. e up all your now) e of the law, and go to counting u the price of yards of muslin?

Her voice was low and singularly sweet; even Dolly's was less musical. The Peatyille women forgot that she had been a sgeamstrees only since Judge Plympton’s death; that, twenty years ago, she was Miss Ruth, the Lady Bounti- ful of the village. But she never forgot it. It was the reason why she never spoke of her family or the old homestead to these people, why her talk to them was confined to plaits and shirrings and draperies; why she never accepted their unwilling invita- tions to “sit down with the family’’ when at work with them. Nobody to ask her to eat with the servants. ; and-butter while her house was savory smells that sickened her hungry stomach. Alone with Dolly and me, in the evening, she forgot that she was the seamstress, and chirped and fluttered and sang little old love songs, in her thin treble, like the ghost of the Miss Ruth of long ago. Dolly had her guitar, and I was the audience. Musicians said Dolly could not play. I don’t know. She used to cuddle the guitar up in her arms and make a soft tinkle like running water, while she cooed out delicious littl snatches about Tell Him I Love Him Yet’’ and Away, Dull Care!“ and the lamp shone on her reddish curls and blue knots of rib- bon and the shy dancing eyes péeping out of their curly lashes—the world has no such music as that now! 5 Of course, we should have been very mis- erable—a hard-worked teacher and lawyer who loved and had na hope riage, and a half-starved with no hope at all.

Then what a feast we made of it! Dolly and Miss Ruth each put on gigantic aprons and cooked the supper, which was eaten in high. glee. But there were days and weeks, as every, energetic man will understand, when I was subject to moods of deep depression at my enfo idjeness, These two frail women were at work, while I, with willing brain and the muscles of a ploughman, sat staring out on the highway. One day, in a fit of despair, I wandered down the turnpike a few miles, and en- countered an old gentleman standing help- lessly beside a puddle, in which his horse had fallen. It was the- work of but a few minutes to unharness the animal, bring him to his feet, and assist his owner into his carriage He overwhelmed me with acknowledgments, uttered with formal old- fashioned courtesy. I had al ther forgotten the incident, when, a week later, I saw the same horse and carriage draw up to the door of my rival, Silas Edson, on the other side of the way.

They Bere. he might say for my better understanding of the mat- ter, maiden as to estate, somewhat advanced in years, and possessed of high social. posi- tion and a moderate amount of .wealth. They lived on the ancestral estate, Foran Place. The facts of the case were briefly these: Marmaduke Foran, their father, was twice married. Tiey—Jean and Isabel were the offspring of the first marriage. After their motber's death, their father placed them at a boarding-school. in Phil- adelphia and went abread. While in Burope he married a Miss Jane Fortéscue, the daughter of an English sea captain, re- maining with her several months. He was recall on business, and forced to leave his wife with her family until after the birth of her child: She gave birth to twins—a — 4 and a girl. When they were two months old, the girl died, and Mrs. Foran set sail with the boy, to join her husband in this on which she embarked Presby, master—was in Chesapeake Bay, July 2, 1815, and went down th all on board. There was a vague report that a child—an infant had been saved and carried inland by the negroes. But Mr. Foran, searching as a man would search for his son and heir, d find no trace of it. A few months later he died, and his daughters inherited his estate.

They are prepared to grant no more than that it is better for the ma- terial purposes of life that the race should be sound rather than infirm, and that the new and rational methods advanced by all right-minded and sensible people may fur- er this result. " ysical development in woman is an ex- cellent thing, and physical culture never h 80 ype gg an ally as the bicycle, Gymnastics and physical training of vari- ous kinds for women have been greatly n ted in this country for many years, and as a result an unquestioned deteriora- tion of the American woman has taken place. But since the advent of the bicycle a change has steadily and almost imper- ceptibly worked its way upon us until in the ks of the healthy, -symmetrical, well-developed woman of to-day there Is no place for the languid, pensive, sylph- waisted creature who played so prominent a part in our homes and literature of less than a quarter of a century ago. The fin-de-siecle woman, with her fine physique, merry laugh and healthy complex- ion, is no longer a theory or a sentiment, but a wholesome condition, and, Lke her brother, strong in her strength, she goes forth to battle with the world and to com- pete with him in all @irections as an equal. The re’ ition between the body and the mind is self-evident. It is not in the nature of things that we should sustain a healthy and vigorous mental activity unless the body be in a state to sustain and feed the brain by means of an active blood circulation. ose of you who ride know, and those who do not can not have the slightest idea of the benefits derived by the mind from riding a bicycle. It is a perfect = of space, and even at a most moderate rate of speed the rider is carried through a per- fect kaleidoscope of scenic change. he mind, with each revolution of the wheel, with each bounding pulse of the blood, springs from object to object with lightning rapidity. The result is that after a ride of more or less length the rider returns rest- ed, invigorated and better able to take up the burdens of the day. As to th@ influence of bicycle upon dress, who would have ht that woman would be emancipated ffom her skirts through an avenue entirely independent of any of the cults especially organized for the fur- therance of reforms? The dress of woman has had much to an- swer for in the matter of health, and will have until the rule of fashion is either broken or the power that decrees the mode gives. us rational artistic styles. The question of proper dress has been the most widely discussed of any question re- lating to bicycling.

SOCIRTY BELLES OF - SDWARDSVILLE, ILL The Old Pioneer Town Boasts of Many Beautiful Maidens. — Special Correspondence Sunday Post- Dispatch. EDWARDSVILLE, Ill, Aug. 17.—Ever since during the first decade of the present century, when the town of Edwardsville was first laid out by such stalwart pioneers as Abraham Prickett, Dr. Joseph Bowers, John Todd, John T. Lusk, Joshua Atwater, David Gillespie, Sr., and their contempora- ries, the place has been the home of many of the oldest and best families in the State: | no less than five men who have figured Governors of the State, including the * Ninian Edwards, for whom the town was named, having at some period of their lives resided here. Edwardsville ig proud of her good old familiés and even more proud, and justly so, of the lovely and cultured daugh- ters of these same old families, who, follow- ing in the footsteps of their mothers and gtandmothers, many of whom were in their youth Edwardsville’s belles, are bright orna- ments to the society of which they form an important part. All the subjects of the fol. lowing sketches have spent their entire lives thus far in the town they are happy to call home: Miss Jessie Prickett, of the veteran b descended from came resident 1808, her great ‘patriot in jhe essie was edu bers both mu rope and Am mirer of our own spending & portion of almost either Washington or Califo or — acquaintances ig a very e hospitable home of her father on a 18 boro avenue is = without its quota of happy, welcome guests.

Later C. C. Hildebrand -arried a bunch of blanks to the meet at Toledo early this month end advertised the meet ‘to euch @n extent that several of the managers of teams wrote their houses, asking per- on to Gomie. The entry most ‘desired was that of L. D. Cabanne, the St. Louis boy, who has won laurels and diamonds on the circuit. Dute was anxious ito ꝙppear here himself and show his ow people what he could do, and the officers of the A. C. C. knew that to advertise the fict tha: he would ride meant hundreds more of spec- tators at the races. He is personally one of the most popular men on he circuit as well as one of the most clever mders, and when his entry came with that of his team- mate Titus there was general rejoincing. Charlie Murphy's onty was also an ac- ceptable one. Murphy is known through the country as a man of many schemes ani while his name is not in the list ef record- holders, he has shown that he is willing to attempt any feat to zain a mark. He is the man who proposed to the Pennsylvania Railroad to lay a board track between fe rails and have one of the engin«s pace him in an endeavor to breik the mile strai:ent- away record. He has never succeejJed. in getting co-operation in nis schemes, but — did succeed in getting himself talked about. * With all that Murphy is a good rider and his appeatance will add much to the races. Charlie has tender recollections of St. Louis and has very kindly feelings toward the A. C. on account of the way he was treated last year. Al] were pleased at be- ing presented with their prizes immediately after the races, but when Murphy handed one of his diamonds to Chairman Raymond of the Racing Board as being defective and he had the matter settled and a new dia- mond within a week, he realized that the A. C. C. could be depended upon to carry out all promises, hence his desire to compete in the races again this year. An attraction at the meet that will give much pleasure will be the trick riding of Lee Richardson. This cyclist is a Jad of slender build and pleasing appearance and one who takes with every crowd before which he has appeared. Lithe and graceful, he seems to be able to pose as well on the running wheels as on the ground. He jumps about on the spokes, saddle or handle bars and never misses his footing. He is cele- brated as a backward rider and holds the record for this feat. He will attempt to break his own record Saturday. Richardson was one of the three trick riders at the national meet at Denver in 1894, and he easily carried off the palm. His youth attracted attention and when he spun up and down the track in all sorts of positions the applause from the spectators was a testimony to his merit. This young rider seems entirely devoid of self-consciousness and uses none of the af- fected gestures nor mannerisms which so frequently spoil an otherwise good perform- ance. On the contrary, his countenance is more than usually placid and he goes through his act in an easy, graceful and business-like manner that gives every spec- tator a friendly feeling for him. Richardson is 17 years old and has ridden a bicycle since he was 4 years of age. Definite and distinct promises were ob- tained from these men and there is) no doubt of their appearance unless an accident prevent them. They will ve Friday evening and spend the morning familiariz- ing themselves with the track, The local men will turn out in full force and some of these are fully equal to many of the circuit chasers. The Coburns, Jack, Will and Dave, are well known throughout the country as is Tom, locally in class A. Frank Wing and G. A.

Something About the Men Who Will Ride for the Diamonds. L. D. Cabanne, the local flyer, who has gained world-wide fame on the nationa! circuit, has entirely recovered m the injuries received in his fall at Asbury Park, and is riding as fast as ever. Cabanne won his first race im 1890 at the Compton Avenue Park, but did not give much atten- tion to the wheel until last year. In former ae he was considered an all-round ath- ete and won many swimming and running 1 He first 1 — into prominence on the track at the Missouri Division meet at Springfield, Mo., July 4, 1894, where he made his debut as a,class rider and won first place in each of the six races in which he started, defeating Levy of Chicago, Burt of Wichita, and a number of other good men.

Last year he did not partic- ularly. distinguish himself, but this year he has been riding in fine form, has twice lowered the competition mile records. Bob Terrill and C. D, Wells of San Jose, Cal., are both in town now putting in their time training at the Pastime track along with Wing, Maxwell, the Coburn boys and other local fast men, all of whom are tratfn- ing hard for the coming meet. ; . Bliss, familiarly called. Pinkie“ Bliss from his striking pink racing suit, was numbered among the top notchers' for distances up to five miles and defeated all the crackajacks in many a hard race last season. This year the midget has been slow getting into form, though in the circuit races he has on several occasions shown evidence of his old time speed. Trainer Moulton is of the opinion that be- fore the close of the season Bliss will show his heels to the fastest. His notable race this year was the two- mile handicap at Battle Creek, which he won in impressive style. In the mile open at Mansfield he rode second to Gardner, beating out Bald. He is the smallest rider among the class B men. Tom Cooper, Bliss’ team mate, has sprung into prominence this year. He won a few minor events last son, but was practically unheard among class B men until. the opening of the National Circuit. At Galesburg, June 19, he defeated Gardner in the mile open and easily won the mile handicap the same day. The next day he ran second to Gardner in both mile open and -half mile handicap. His next appearance was at Ottumwa, Ic., July 4, when he won all the elass B events eatily.. At Jefferson, Io., the next day he won the half mile open and ran second tn the two mile open. At Battle Creek July 2 he of | astonished even his best admirers by win- ning the half mile open, defeating Bald, Dirnberger, Ray McDonald and his compan- ion, Bliss: The second day at Battle Creek he ran second to Bald in the mile open, los- ing in the most exciting finish ever seén ; .

All this season racing men have been complaining of the system of pacemaki claiming that the man who gets the tandem first is al- most sure to be the winner of the race and figures will prove that this position is cor- rec It is the custom in cing to start the tandem from 10 to 15 feet in front of the men who are lined up on the tape. The tandem is shoved off next to the pole and there is a jump to get the position imme- ately behind the pacemakers. Of course, e rider who has the pole at the start has the advantage, and if he is as quick as the others, he is sure to fall into the hind wheel of the “bicycle built for two.” Having “caught the tandem,” as the wheelmen say, the rider will hang there during the rest of the race and cannot eas- THE PASTIME TRACK. rs Bie? | 5 5 N — Mes Ee os 2 * L 7 — 5 — n ‘ * rene eS Sey rr ** Sve VAS * * .

He has taken part in all the circuit races since and has proved himself a very formidable rival to the best class B men. At Toledo he won both the mile and the two mile handicaps and at Fort Wayne the half mile open. His latest achievement was at Chicago Aug. 10, when he ran second to Bald in the one-third mile open, a Cabanne, Brown, Murphy, Wells and Coulter. Cooper is rapidly acquiring track tactics and shows better generalship in each suc- ceeding race, so that it is safe in saying his record at the end of the Season will com- pare favorably with any of the class B men.

The objective point of the trip, the Mer- amec River, about twenty-five miles from St. Louis, was decided upon weeks ahead and preparations were begun. A mau can 80 ca but se : be consulted. Hence the task of‘deciding upon 2 3 costume for her was found rying. ; +. “Oh, but I'd look like a fool with a Hort skirt and leggings!’ expostulated Mrs. Bus- ologist when that suggestion was offered. “Well, suppose you do; that doesn’t prove that you are one. You are out for comfort, not for looks,“ answered the other member of the family. . “But that’s a bicyclist’s dress and I've got no wheel,“ persisted the lady. “They'll think you've got it in the tent.“ And that clinched it. Mr. Bugologist, being an old camper, had his rig-out“ Pp ed in the closet and soon had it out. It consisted of soft negligee shirts, two pairs of trousers, one of ck and washable, the other of cloth, a 8 - ley cap, canvas leggings, heavy tramping Shoes and a pair of rubber soled tennis shoes. Then came the question of provisions. They consisted of corn meal, a small boiled ham, two large loaves of close home baked bread, a good-sized piece of lean bacon, exes, prunes, a pot of preserves, ground coffee, sugar, evaporated cream, butter (in a tin can), la-d (also in a can), a half ound ot cocoa, rice, salt, and last, but not east, a bottle of good old “morning eye- opener,“ alias wet weather cure.” The cooking utensils and table ware were few. There were a small two-burner coal oll stove, three pint tin cups, four tea- spoons, a large cooking spoon, two knives and two forks, wood plates, saucepan, fry- 4 ot bumble-bees „ &, started out 1 of the river we ted by the stock of — sit Mitte cnt. unde. a eren to; ith s note we Dee 2 Leaving there we N 1 3 hornets and blister beetles; new but We caught and s for home.

The body was com- posed of fifty segments or hard rings, at- tached to each of which was a pair of legs, making 100in all. It was, despite its numer- ous legs, very slow in motion, and easily captured. We saved it alive. WEDNESDAY—Rain again, but this time none of the n reached the inside of the tent. Something else did, however, in the shape of a host of yellow jackets, bees and wasps, and fully a hundred grand- daddy long legs.“ We caught several red wasps, and some of the yellow jackets, against which we felt revengeful from the fact that they had alighted on our setting boards and made a vicious attack on our specimens, spoiling several. The ‘“‘grand-daddys” we found so difficult to mount in any shape for safe transportation, that we cruelly killed fifty and put them in a tin box, ex- pecting on our return to the city to soften them in warm water in shape for mount- ing.

LOUIS MEN. » 2 Mr. John A. Knott, Editor of One of the best known of all the Missouri | editors—because one of the most energetic and popular—is Mr. John A. Knott, editor of the Hannibal Morning Journal. Mr. Knott was not born to the purple, exactly, but he quickly developed into it and found himself so readily adapted to it that he would scarcely know how to aban- don the newspaper business if he would. He was born in Millersburg, Callaway County, Mo., June 29, 1852, and spent his young life on a farm, where he accumulated an amount of brawn and muscle which has ever since stood him in good stead in the immense demands made upon his physi- cal constitution. His father died when he was quite a child, and he received his edu- cation behind a counter of a country store owned and conducted by his brother, Will J. Knott, who was afterwards for many years commercial editor and Jefferson City correspondent of the Missouri Republican. He next tried the dry good business on his own account, but his restless disposition would not admit of his remaining in that line; so in 1876 he succeeded his brother as editor of the Chamois Leader. A few years ago he struck into the hill country and started the Osage County News at Linn. Having made a success of this he went to Troy and started the Free Press and then the Lincoln County News. Both made mone for him, and at last he united with R. B. Speed and inaugurated the Daily Southwest Mail at Nevada. Here he ac- cumulated a considerable sum of money and eight years later became the editor and manager of the Hannibal Morning Journal, one of the largest and most prosperous of all the interior newspapers 4 in this State. * the Hannibal Morning Journal. Mr. Knott has always been prominent in the Democratic politics of Missouri, without being a candidate for any office. In 1888 he was prominently mentioned for Secretary of State, but declined to enter the race and gave his support instead to Capt. Lesueur. He was the organizer of Col. Richard Dal- ton’s cam for Governor in 1892, and took his candidate into the convention with a majority of the votes. He was Secretary of the great Demo- cratic Convention at St. Joseph in 1890, and has always been interested in the work of his party. In June, 1880, Mr. Knott was married to Miss, Hattie Breckinridge of St. Louis ounty, and has one child, a daughter, Lizzie, now aged 12 years. Mr. Knott has been President of the Northeast Missouri Editorial Association and President of the Missouri Press Asso- clation, besides serving on a number of occasions as a delegate to the National Press Association meetings, in which he has long taken an active and intelligent interest. As an indication of the esteem in which he is held in the Northeast, Mr. Knott was elected a member of the State Democratic Committee from the First Congressional District by the recent State Convention at Pertle Springs. He has fought valiantly for the free coinage of silver and other- wise sought to represent the Democratic people of his district in all respects. Mr. Knott is a strong editorial writer and a splendid business manager, two qualities rarely united in one person. He is of a jovial and happy disposition and under all circumstances is inclined to look upon the bright side of life. s tendency has aided much in giving to Mr. Knott a popularity which extends throughout the State and an influence correspondingly extensive.

MITMYER, Mu. v. & d the — vit ah — be barter awa be the property of a few. If the land is the Lord's from whom did the pimesent owners get their title? Certainly the Lord never in- tended that the many ax * pay tribute to the few for the use of that which he gav for all.

What! Sell the land? Why not sell the air, the sea and the sky?” asked the great Indian chief Red Jacket. ‘The Great Spirit has told me that land is not to be made property like other prop- erty. The Barth is our mother,“ said Black Hawk. “Whilst another man has no land, my title to mine, your title to yours is at once vitl- ated, wrote Emerson. he land of every country is the common roperty of all the people of that country, ecause the Creator made it as a voluntary gift to them,” says Rt. Rev. Nulty, Bishop of Meath. 8 The command regarding usurysrhich “G, speaks of smacks of the same sort of quib- bling. 1 did not say that all commands to the Jews, simply because they were com- mands, are alike binding. The Jews had very many which have been done away with in the abolition of the various sacri- fices, and the advent of Christ. The intent of the usury command was that the poor should not be oppressed. Usury, while con- demned among the Jews, was practiced by them with outsiders. While ugury, as prac- ticed now, is pretty hard on those having to resort to it, it would hardly be possible under a Single Tax regime. When G. refers to my being a shrewd land-owner and speculator, he is g the question. I do not now own any St. Louis real estate, but while I did I never lost an opportunity to spread the Single Tax faith and condemn the present system of private ownership of land. My convictions on the land question were su uent to my pur- chases and conditions might justify further purchases, Members of society to-day are engaged in a fierce struggle for existence, in which some must. be crushed. No one wants to be among these; and the various special privileges—iand monopoly, monopoly of trade, transportation and manufacture offer such tempting chances that all are eager for what only a few can get. Selif preservation is one of the strongest laws in nature and such a condition only intensifies its cultivation. While homicide is not jus- tifiable, who is to condemn the men in the Black Hole of Calcutta for killing their fellows for a chance to breathe through its only aperture? Or, in the case of a shipwreck, who stops to debate the moral or the statute law about killing when they can save themselves by knocking a less strong person from a floating spar? With this condition of affairs Single Tax- ers are no more than human if they look out for themselves just as others do, while at the same time they are fighting for the abolition of the causes necessitating this kind of warfare and cut-throat business. But even if there were no scriptural au- thority or usage against the private owner- ship of the land, equity, justice and the equal right to life are against it. One’s very birth entails an equal right to a place to live and therefore an equal right to the use of the earth, which is not considered under A system of its private ownership. Priority of birth does not give right, nor does might make right, for under the one priority of birth would ve these power over se subsequently rn; under the other, those w have the power can take and those may keep who can and no one could com- plain if a stronger dis him. There is room enough for all without serambling and wrang „ and the Single would demonstrate ft. W. B. ADDINGTON. What Did Jefferson Mean? Soon after the single tax banquet in com- memoration of Jefferson’s birthday the Re- public contained a leading editorial headed “Jefferson Not a Single Taxer.” The editor quoted nothing from the great commoner’s writings to prove the assertion, but con- tented himself with repeating it in differ- ent forms and a of speech. He ended the article in this wise, quoting from, and indorsing. a portion of Gov. Stone’s letter to the banqueters: “Jefferson should to-day be the ideal Democrat, and the party he founded should defend his principles as fearlessly and val- lantly in this generation as in the day when he stood forth to lead in person.and was the most conspicuous champion of public and ular eo ty! in and un 4 laws 8 ee uncultivated lands it ie clear that the been so extended as to violate natural The New York World, without doubt the greatest newspaper publication in the world, having circulated in July of this mn Monday of the past week (Aug. 12) de- voted its entire editorial — to the ine ject of “Equality.” The inspiring motive was the enforcement of an excise law in New York which prohibits the sale of in- 2 25 oon th Foden te ns from the eral Constitutio ns Declaration of Independence, — — bsolute equality of rights, are insert and extracts from the writings of great men are numerous.
