Welsh and John Hough, both about 17 years old, near Hailes’ gold. mine, Lancaster County, and, with the declara- tion that it was time for negroes to begin to kill white men, opened fire the boys, who were unarmed. Walsh was first shot through the body, and when he ged the negro not to shoot him in, the brute placed his revolver to Walsh's head and shot him dead. Lioyd then fired at Hough, but succeceded in hitting him only once, breaking his right arm. Lioyd then took to the mountains, but a company of white men are after him, with the avowed pur- se of lynching him as soon as they catch im. Both Welsh and Hough are members of prominent families.

The Missionaries Imposed Upon by Disreputable Interpreters Who Pose as Ohristians. CHICAGO, Til, Aug. .- Sam Moy, a prominent Chinese merchant of Chicago, says that a Chinese paper he just received gives the Chinese versions of the cause of the attacksupon the English and American missionaries. According to this Chinese paper the at- tack developed a serious state of affairs. It was found that the basements of the mis- sidnary houses were closely guarded by the disreputable hangers-on of the missions. No nt Chinamen will have anything to do wit® a mission. The missionaries cannot talk the language. The Chinese in the in- terior who can talk “pigeon” or any for- eign language are almost always young men who have run away to avoid punisb- ment for petty crimes or to shirk the su port of their families, going to some treaty ort tfistead of to the mountains, as the ugitives from justice for more serious crimes do. In time the petty crime is for- gottem or compounded and the fellow comes back, but is regarded as a social outlaw and does not find or want to find anything to do in the way of work, more than enough to him alive. The advent of thé mis- sionary opens a new field for the unscrupu- lous linguist. The missionary has to have an interpreter. The outcast is ready to act and also to become a convert—anything for an easy life. He becomes a member of the missionary staff and household. The missionary wants comverts; the hanger-on wants some luxuries. here are only two ways to get converts in China. One is to hire them; then you have converts just as long as they are paid; the other is by buying or kidnapping children and keeping and teaching them. Hiring converts and buying children are expensive, but the bet- ter classes of missionaries, well supplied with money, who understand the mese usages, hire and buy and show ults, Good missionaries don’t allow any kidnap- ping, but most of the missionaries, while people themselves, don’t know how bad their native staff is. itis the native staff under the lead of the tough interpreter which does the kidnapping, and the sionaries are > This is the way it is done: One of the interpfeters sees a child, a girl 10 or 12 years. old, and finds out she is not well watched and cared for, that her parents are poor or careless people not ely to make much of a fuss at her di rance. He inveigies the child to a visit to the mis- sion and often force is used. The mis- sionary sees the child and is told some fairy tale by the wnecrupulous interpreter, that the child wishes to become a Christian, that she wants to live at the mission and be instructed, or some other invention which seems plausible to the ignorance and zeal of the missionary, and something is added to show the importance of guarding the new candidate from recapture by the heathen relatives, who, the missionary is assured, would do so to prevent the per- version of the child’s faith. As the missionary cannot talk to the child he trusts his interpreter, who can, and the child—well, the less the original is followed here the better. The interpreter practically — the girl. She is his slave for the time eing and he plays the missionary to — her safely out of sight until he can sell her. and get the money for her. Then the missionary is fooled again and the process is repeated as oo my as possible. It is a great industry for the unscrupulous interpreters, who live better, have more pleasure and make more money with less work under the 3 of the mission than most of the good people of their town. The burning of the missions freed some of the girl captives, who told the stories of the kidnapping, confinement and the indig- nities to which they were subjected. The stories spread and aroused the ferocity of all good people. This started the great riot and the mob attacked the missionaries and interpreters indiscriminately. The best ple did not accuse the mis- sionaries of any intentional wrong and would not have harmed them, intending only to send them away, so they could no longer be induced by the wicked interpreters to help them in yon ge | defenseless young ris. _All agre t was right to Kill the hangers-on guilty of the kid- napping because it is the law and custom that any one may do so in China. The Governor of Fo Kien sent 1,000 soldiers up to Min River to quell the riots and restore ndits joined with the rebels and whipped the soldiers. The soldiers lost half their number and had to retreat. At the time the paper was printed it was said the whole section was in the control of the mob and there was great fear that elsewhere, when the le hear of the state of affairs at Ku Cheng, there would be great trouble for the mission- “The free translation, not literal, but much abbreviated, and ‘ the Chinese view of the situation.

There'll be trouble if the Mayor tries to reorganize the House of 2288. said the henchman in the hear- ing of a Post-Dispatch reporter. It is ev dent, then, that the story in this paper last week detailing the Mayor's reorganization scheme has a solid basis of fact. The pres- ent organization of the House of Delegates is Boss Filley’s personal property, and any interference with it is calculated to arouse his fiercest hostility. The fact that Mayor Walbridge has dared lay the plans for an Assault on the organization as soon after the House reconvenes next month as a proper regard for the decencies will permit, shows that His Honor has wearied not only of the aggravating inertia of the House, but Also that he has also grown tired of working in the harness with Uncle Filley.

Chas. * because of his disregard of the party dictates and his open hostility 4o the bosses, big and little. The Mayor, it is said, believes the time is ripe in Missouri for the rise of some such independent statesman as Mr. Nagel, and he will have to go further in this direc- tion than the President of the Council for obvious reasons. To do this he can think of no better way than to declare his inde- endence of Boss Filley from this time on. hat, his friends contend, will make him bigger and stronger than the whole Filley machine, even though it does now control everything in the State. Senator G. A. Wurdemann— Gus,“ the boys call. him—was one of the ubiquitous men on the boat. The anti-Walbridge men flocked around him like bees around a mo- lasses jug, and he fairly divided the honors of the day with Boss Filley and Czar Zieg- genhein. In every group he was greeted as “our next leutenant-Governor.”’ Nearly every time he was so eted he forthwith bought the beer. Maybe I would have been made City Counselor if my resi- dence were in the city instead of the coun- ty,“ he said. “No you wouldn't either,“ exclaimed Mark Chartrand. Fou are a Republican, and that’s a crime nowadays.” The crowd laughed loud and long, and the Senator again purchased. Of course it is known that Col. Wurde- mann is on the Filley slate for Lieutenant-Governor. Others on it are the Hon. Benjamin Frank- lin Russell, the poet laureate of Steeleville, for Governor; the Hon. Al. Griffin from Everywhere-in-General and Nowhere-in- Particular, for Secretary of State, and Sena- tor Kennish of Holt County for Attorney- General. Czar Ziegenhein’s declaration of with- drawal from = which means that he is not a candidate for Mayor if it means anything created nothing like the sensa- tion which his manner intended it should. When he had finished his oration and dis- mounted from the beer table the colored Demosthenes Tandy mounted the table and roposed three cheers for Henry Ziegen- ein, the next Mayor of St. Louis.“ hey were given with a vigor that set the gor- 3 bedizzened wheel of fortune close y to whirring. And Col, Ziegenhein bought the beer for everybody in sight. It is sus- pected that with regard to the Mayoralty nomination he is in that dangerous mental condition of the maiden in the poem, who, saying she would ne'er consent, consented.” Col. Win. Tamblyn, with a new growth of whiskers that greatly detract from his ulchritude, was also much in evidence. Je drank copious draughts of pink soda with the boys who took beer, danced with as many ladies as the programme would permit, and caucussed with the politicians as much as anybody. Theo Berryhill said Col. Tamblyn would set the pace in the Mayoralty running when it begun. To this the Colonel entered no positive dis- claimer, merely stating with a smile and a far-away look across the murky waters that at present he was selling clothing. WOMEN BEATERS FINED. Judge Peabody Hits Three of the Brutes Hard. Wife beaters and abusers of women had a hard row to hoe in the First District Police Court Monday. Laura Dilly, a blind woman, 28 years old, who for a number of years has sold papers at Sixth and Chestnut streets, prosecuted her husband, Lawrence, for grossly mistreating her. She said that her husband came home drunk Sunday night and after subjecting her to a round of abuse Struck her over the head with a chair, in- juring her so severely that she had to be taken to the Dispensary for treatment. When arrested Dilly told the officers he was sorry he had not killed his wife. Judge Peabody fined him ‘ When the case of Louis Rice of Third.and Market streets was called, his wife, Lizzie, told the Court that her husband came home drunk Sunday night and threw himself down on the bed to sleep off the effects of his spree. She thought he was lying in an uncomfortable position and attempted to arrange the pillows to make him rest easier. He showed his ay ya — by rising up in bed and striking her several violent blows in the face. She attempted to escape from his clutches, but he followed her, tore her clothes from ‘her y and gave her a ter- rible beating.

Jealousy drove Henry Anderson, colored, to shoot and fatally Injyure Sam Harris, a roustabout, im the rear of 917 North Ninth street, at 11:30 o’clock Sunday night. A former sweetheart of Anderson’s named Susie Gaines lived there. Anderson and Susig parted five weeks ago, after having lived together for two years. Susie said it was no fault of-hers. “He shuk me to take up wid Annie Ham- ton,“ Susie said. But Anderson wanted to make up with her. He sent Leona Woods to tell Susie that he would give her money if she would come back to him. She told him to keep his money. This made him angry and he went over to her house flourishing an ugly-look- ing knife. Sam Harris and two other col- ored men were in the house. The game“ was a little strong for An- derson and he left after getting into a warm argument with Harris. He came back to the house in a few moments and raised a window. Susie asket> Who's there?“ but he didn’t reply. He rolled up the curtain and looked in. ‘You're not up to anything good, Henry Anderson,“ said Susie, and with that An- derson pulled his gun and let fly at Harris, who was sitting five feet away.

N 100 VIVID IMAGINATION. Police Explanation of Burglars in the Barlow House. The reputation that young James Barlow of 4115 Olive street gained among his friends by the report that he had daringly chased two burglars out of the house Thursday night is in danger of being spoiled by the police. After Mr. Barlow's valor had been duly noticed in the Post-Dispatch, the Sergeant of the precinct called at the house and tried to make the young man believe there never were any burglars there and that it was only a dog aided by a vivid imagination, which created all the stir, kicked over the furniture and broke the window panes. The fact that Barlow had seen burglars did not “faze’’ the copper. He reported to Capt. Boyd and the Captain to Chief Har- rigan that there were no evidences of bur- glare having been in the house. The Ser- geant had cvidently expected the occupants to leave the overturned furniture where it had been left by the burglars. Young Barlow states that the officer on the bert failed to find evidence of prowlers the night of the occurrence because he was a new policeman and afraid to go into the back yard, much less into the house, until he had summoned his partner. When the latter arrived the unwelcome visitors had disappeared. BOLD ATTEMPT 10 SWINDLE. Henry Pueser ame Near Losing $3,100 Worth of Dry Goods. Henry J. Pueser,.a young man of B, cams close to being swindled out of his dry goods store at 4201 North Twentieth street last Sat- urday. Pueser has a well assorted stock of goods which an invoice taken August 1 showed to be worth $3,100. Seeing an advertisement of the Graham Real Estate Co., 813% Chestnut, offering to purchase a stock of dry goods for a client, he answered, and a man named Walter Neustedt called upon him last Thursday. With few preliminaries Neu- stedt agreed to take the stock at a valuation of $3,300. He represented that he had not the money with him, but drew up three notes for $1,000 each, merely as a form,“ he said, agreeing to take them up on Saturday with the cash. The remaining $300 was to be paid next Thursday. Feeling convinced that the transaction was all right young Pueser made out a bill of sale for the stock and gave it to Neustedt. Armed with this document Neustedt hied himself to A. Fuller of the Grand Leader and offered the entire stock for $1,200 spot cash. Mr. Fuller asked for references, af ter seeing the stock, and Graham, the real es- tate man, was given by Neustedt. Graham told Mr. Fuller, it is said, that the deal was all right; that a piece of real estate had been given in exchange for the store. Still unsatisfied, Rice, Stix & Co., from whom Pueser had bought all of his goods. were consulted. They advised Mr. Fuller to fight shy of the purchase and at once sent for Pueser, with the result that he took charge of his store again Saturday, after ousting a man whom Neustedt had in- stalled. Fourth District detectives are now looking for Neustedt. Funeral of John D. Perry. The funeral of the late John D. Perry will be held Monday at 4 p. m. at the family residence, 12 Vandeventer place.

But It Rescued Their Girl From a Life ef Shame, John Straw and his wife, stock raisers of Ironton, Mo., visited the Mayor's office on a painful mission. Two years ago their daughter Emma left their rural roof to make her own living in St. Louis. Emma met the fate of many an unsophisticated country girl, but the old folks thought her as pure as when she left home. ; Saturday, on returning from a visit to relatives in Illinois, Mr. and Mrs. Straw and their grown son thought to surprise the daughter and sister. The surprise, a pain- ful one, was theirs. They found the address given by Emma was a house of ill fame and Emma was in the workhouse, where she was sent on May 6 on a fine for being an inmate. The dispirited party went to the work- house to see the loved one behind the bars among the most degraded of her sex. Em- ma blushed with shame to be seen there, then she wept, and when she found forgive- ness and a welcome to the home she had disgraced was awaiting her, she was only too willing to accept such a release from a life she was weary of, but could not es- cape from. he mission of Mr. and Mrs. Straw to the Mayor was to get Xr for the err- ing one. It was granted, and the reunited aad will leave for their home this even- ng. WILL BEAUTIFY THE PARK. Mr. Pitzman’s Offer in Exchange for Dirt for the Lindell Railway. Julius Pitzman, acting for the Lindell Railway Co., has written to the Board of Public Improvements asking that it recon- sider his application for a permit to borrow earth from the southeast corner of Forest Park. He claims that instead of denuding he will improve the park. He says he has spent for Charles P. Chouteau and Mrs. affitt $50,000 In improving property ad- jacent to the park, and think they are justi- fled in one that the city should not prevent parties from improving that por- tion of the park so as to bring it in harmony with the topography of their lands.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 26.—A special to the Bee from Norfolk, Neb., gives the particu- lars of the drowning of A. J. Gabler of Waco, Tex. Gabler took Mrs. Ada Vennum, a lady friend, out rowing on the Elkhorn River last night. While they were serenad- ing the people on the bank the boat upset and both were drowned, their bodies being recovered this forenoon. LAW EVADED. Contractors Work Men by the Hour, Not by the Day. The same old complaint comes that men employed by public sewer contractors are working men more than eight hours a day in alleged violation of ordinance 16,514. The ordinance reads that employes of con- tractors on public work “shall not be re- quired’ to work more than eight hours a day. Sewer Commissioner Colby says that every contractor works his men by the hour and not by the day, so that the ordinance (even if constitutional, which is doubtful), is not being violated. If a man wants to work eight hours at 17% cents per hour or $1.40 a day, he can quit at the expiration of that time, but if he wants to work ten hours he gets $1.75. Warrant for Wm. Cook. Monday morning a warrant for petit lar- ceny was issued against William Cook, 21 years old, arrested at Union Station Sun- day night for trying to snatch a pocket- book out of the hand of Mamie Moore, colored, 1514 Grattan street. Cook is a son of Joseph Cook, horseshoer, 1865 Cass ave- nue, and until recently was employed by O'Connor & Harder. He denies trying to snatch the pocketbook, and says his ar- rest is a case of mistaken identity. Halted a Burglar. After chasing Albert Williams from Tenth street and Franklin avenue to Thirteenth and St. Charles streets, Officer Staley suc- ceeded in Age him about Il o'clock Monday. Williams is fleet-footed and would have escaped had not the officer opened fire. This halted him. Williams was wanted for the burglary of Bruner’s hat store, 1108 Franklin avenue, which was robbed Sunday —— of goods valued at $200. Monday morning he tried to dispose of some of the goods at Dunn’s pawn shop, Tenth street and Franklin avenue. Services at the Barracks. A com y of ladies and gentlemen under — of Mr. G.

By Reason ot Work-Houge Pleas the City Is Forced to Pay Costs, In- ~~" stead of the State, se ae — rhe Criminal Court costs the eit more than all the divisions of the Cireuit Court put together. The met cost of the Court to the city for the last fiscal after deducting $3,386.95. paid into the treas- ury by the Clerk for tees collected, was $56,346.08, to which must be added thé Crim- inal Court’s proportion of the expenses of the Jury Commtssioner's office, amounting in the aggregate to $6,717.99. What that pro- portion is cannot be ascertained, as the jury list for all the courts except the Court of Criminal Correction are made together. These costs do not include the ot main- taining prisoners while in jail, which would make the total very much largef. But the records show that the cost of the Criminal Court to the city is made ms necessarily large by the methods W revail, of nolle — owing prisoners accu of f ishable by terms in the tentiary, to ity of a lighter offense and accept -house sentence. The City Auditor is going to call the attention of Circuit At- torney Zachrits to this in the hope at a reform will be inaugurated. If a prisoner is convicted of a felony and sentenced to the er the State has to pay the costs. If a case is nolle prossed, continued generally, acquitted, or convicted of a grade of 12 punishable by a Work-house sentence, the city has to pay the cost. Of course it is easier for the Prosecuting Attorney to accept a plea of gulity to a minor offense. It saves the time and trou- ble of a trial, but the eity has to pay the freight. It is a wrong to the city and tax- payers in several ways. It not only sad- dies the cost on the city, but the cost of maintaining the prisoner while serving his sentence; it fills the already over- crowded Work-house with prisoners who ought to be in the penitentiary; the law is shorn of its terrors by this leniency, and crime is encouraged. The consequence is that a gang of hoodlums infest the city secure of escaping with a few months in the Work-house; it keeps them in St. Louis, whereas if the law was enforced some would spend a good term in the peniten- tiary, and would be apt to make their head- quarters elsewhere when at liberty. The record shows case after case where prisoners charged with burglary, first de- gree robbery, forgery, assault to kill and other penitentiary offenses are allowed to plead guilty to petit larceny, to obtaining sums less than $30, when it is clear they ob- tained more if anything, or of plain assault, and take terms of from three to six months in the workhouse, instead of getting from two to five years in the penitentiary. It is safe to say there would be little difficulty in convicting 90 per cent of Such cases, because as long as there was half a chance of escape no lawyer would advise his cli- ent to plead gullty to any o_o of offense. A greater loss to the city even than this is in the cases nolle prossed. In these the cases of election frauds are conspicuous, cases the cost bills are very high, averaging $45 a case for the terms just ended. he cloud of witnesses afford proof of one of two things; either that conviction would have followed trial, or else there never was a case, and the Prosecuting, Attorney ought to have known it, as he is presumed to know what the State witnesseg will swear to. In many cases the court allows itself to be imposed on. Such cases for instance as a bigamy case, where the cost amounted to $99.95 and the wronged wife refused to prosecute. It frequently happens that the prosecuting witness makes some kind of terms with the accused, refuses to prosecute and the costs fall on the city, The extent to which the city suffers is shown by the cost bills audited this month for the May term; of 68 cases 2 were al- lowed to plead to minor offenses and take workhouse sentences; 3 cases were nollie prossed; five ignored by grand jury; five convicted of workhouse grade of offense or acquitted by a jury. Of these only the 10 cases named were a proper and demonstrated charge on the city and the amount of the cost bills was $499.65. The cost bills of the casés nolle pressed were $1,024.35, and of pleas of guilty to minor offenses $799.20. Following is the record for the term when the city had to pay the costs: : James Biggins, fraudulent voting, nolle prossed after thirty-eight continuances; costs .

WHAT STREET CAR MONOPOLY MEARS. A local street car manager, discussing the advantages of the proposed consoll- dation, admits that it will be a monopoly, but declares that it will not be a grinding one. It is interesting to note what kind of monopoly is thought not to be grinding by a corporation manager. He remarks that the fare cannot be advanced nor the transfer system abolished, and adds: The monopoly will, if it is found that some of the roads are not paying, apply the trim- ming ax. If, for instance, cars on a par- ticular line are running five minutes apart, some of the cars will be taken off and the time stretched to, say, seven minutes. Par- allel lines, which cannot maintain their ends, will Gon receive a pruning. Passen- gers can then take their choice and wait longer on a corner or walk a few blocks and embark on a faster line. In either case the nickel will find its way into the same treasury. The whole plan of the monopoly is clearly suggested in this paragraph. Competition having been shut off, the ob- ject of the monopoly will be to get all the earnings which are now made by competing lines with the least service. One line would be made to do the work of two and branch lines which competition compels the companies to run without present profit would be cut off and the people would have to whistle for accom- modations. The value of the street car property in this city has vastly increased within a few years past. Travel has increased 100 per cent, while the population has increased only 30 per cent. The object of consolidation is to absorb the present and future value of the street car fran- chises in a vast capitalization and under a grinding monopoly earn dividends on it by giving the people the least possible service for their money. A NUGGET. The reiterated statement that from 1793 to 1878 only eight million standard dollars had been coined by the United States mint is made to convey the false idea that standard silver coin did not exist and never had been used as money in the United States. 7 The fact is that nearly all the coin in use was silver. Previous to 1793 the United States had no coin. The act of Congress establish- ing the mint and standard of coins made our standard dollars the same as the Spanish and Mexican dollars, which were then the standard coin of Asia, Europe and America and all civilized nations. As there was a supply of standard silver coin in existence there was no necessity for our mint to coin more. A DISGRACEFUL IMPORTATION. The surprise of the bull-ring at Gillette, Colo., was not that the Sheriff arrested the manager, but that the spectators who were inveigled into the amphitheater under a promise of enjoying sport did not mob all hands connected with the enterprise. According to all accounts, a slaughter- house is a refined place of entertain- ment in comparison with this first Amer- joan bull-ring. At a slaughterhouse the animals are at least slain with neatness and dispatch, whereas at the Gillette bull fight there was not even a skillful climax to redeem the slow torture to which the peaceful bulls were subjected. There was not even the excitement of danger to the bull fighters to lend sest to the slaughten We do not believe that there is any considerable number of American people who are low enough to enjoy a so-called port that offers nothing but a spectacle brutality. Even if the laws permitted ft. gain of 88 per cent. Of the annourice- | ments of our local business men there were @8 columns in the Sunday Post- Dispatch, as compared with 27 columns in the Sunday Republic. Of the people’s “Wants” there 20 columns in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, 13 columns in the Sunday Republic and 23 columns in the Sunday Globe-Democrat. Of reading matter and pictures there were 152 col- umns in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, 147 columns in the Sunday Republic and 188 columns in the Sunday Globe-Demo- erat. In circulation the Sunday Post- Dispatch was far ahead of either of its competitors. — n — KEEP YOUR EYE ON KENTUCKY. The Kentucky campaign should be closely watched by Democrats every- where, and especially by those of the West and South. It is of peculiar inter- est in many ways, but it is especially sig- nificant as an object lesson. It affords conclusive evidence that the “sound money” campaign means that the Administration Democrats are deter- mined to either rule or ruin the Demo- cratic party. Where they can dictate or „interpret“ the platform or select the nominees, they will do their share in electing the ticket, because in that way they can best further their ideas and fasten their control upon the party. Where they cannot dictate the platform or select the candidates, or where the candidates refuse to join the procession which Cleveland and Carlisle are leading towards the gold standard camp, they will openly bolt or secretly knife the ticket. The intention to do this is proclaimed with an openness that has at last made all attempt at disguise superfluous. In Kentucky, supposing they had control of the State Committee, they summoned Gen. Hardin before it with the intention of rebuking him and possibly of forcing him off the ticket. When they discovered that the committee was not quite. ready for open treason, they announced their intention of resigning from the commit- tee, as a signal to their friends to with- hold support from the ticket. The word has been passed around, and in Kentucky and elsewhere the “sound money” organs are throwing over the ticket and proclaiming their belief that the Republicans will win. And there can be no doubt that in this case the wish is father to the thought. There will be glorification in Administration and “sound money” circles everywhere if the Democrats are defeated in Kentucky. There will be corresponding disappoint- ment if the Democrats win. The Kentucky campaign has made all these facts plain. Hence its value as an object lesson. — — ARE BLOOMERS “JUST THE THING!”’ It has been judicially determined by Judge Wilson of Little Rock that bloom- ers are “just the thing.” He says it must be accepted as a settled fact that women will use bicycles, and that they should be permitted without criticism to provide themselves with a costume that is at once comfortable and’appropriate. This he holds bloomers to be. After this authoritative decision, it will be useless to attempt to prevent the use of bloomers by invoking the aid of the law. They are not only not con- demned by the law, but are affirmatively declared comfortable and appropriate. This decision will tend to discourage the use of bloomers. For it is one of the delightful characteristics of woman that what she is forbidden to do is precisely what has most attractions for her. Had Judge Wilson upheld the arrest of Mrs. Noe in Little Rock by imposing a fine and prohibiting bloomers, skirts would have been in danger of vanishing from the capital city of Arkansas. Now that bloomers are approved by man, sitting judicially upon them, they will lose one of their chief attractions. The truth is that criticism of bloomers on the ground that they are immodest is absurd. They are as little immodest as any dress that woman has worn in many years. The attack upon them should be made from the esthetic side and not on the ground of impropriety.. The real objection to bloomers is that the great majority of women look hideous inthem. They are the most disillusioning dress that women ever put on. If they should come to be generally worn, court- ship would lose its charm and marriages would be even fewer than now. Woman will not be slow to discover this if left to herself. Her inherent good taste will limit the use of bloomers, with- out any attempt on the part of man to set up a false and ri@iculous steridard of propriety. , . SOME BAYARD BLUNDERS. The full report of Ambassador Bayard's Lincolnshire speech strengthens the im- pression created by the first brief dis- patch that it embodied an extraordinary amount of misinformation about this country. Mr, Bayard describes his countrymen as a “violent people,” whereas he ought to know that there is no people on earth to which as a people this term can be applied with less accuracy. Mr. Bryce, the keenest and most accurate foreign observer who has studied us, was struck with our self-restraint and testifies to it in his American Commonwealth.“ He attrübutes the success of our institutions which would have failed in any other country to the remarkable development of this quality. De Tocqueville recog- nised self-restraint and respect for law as the distinguishing political traits of Americans. eae 11 to this high testimony Mr. Bayard’s| elections with But in addition and to the proof of history, own of Bnglish 1 5 ae a ‘aie 1 . ¥ od 1 2 ae a .

If Mr. Olney really means to inaugurate a strong foreign policy. he cannot make a better beginning than by intimating to Mr. Bayard that fewer speeches would be acceptable and thus reducing his op- portunities to blunder. a, _ By the time duelist Romero of Mexico serves three years in prison, pays a fine of $1,800, turns over to the widow $4,500 annually for eighteen years, settles the funeral expenses, amounting to $460, and gives up $418 for incidental expenses, he will become bonvinced that dueling has ceased to be an up-to-date sport. Mexico has done well to make an example of Romero. . * 3 —- — — © — — It was the Louisville influence, and not Kentucky, that demanded the with- drawal of Gen. Hardin.

The best newspaper at the lowest price is a novelty that draws everybody’s attention. — ee It was a woman who tortured the bull in the recent inhuman exhibition of bull- fighting in Colorado. No doubt this heartless female had on her scarlet bloomers when she entered the arena. It is doubtful whether Prof. Garner's efforts in behalf of the monkey language should be encouraged. After a while these monkeys may take to the English language and go to holding gabfests. So lone as their clerks open all pack- ages, the Rothschilds are comparatively safe from Anarchists. A clerk might be. blown up every day and there would be about as many clerks as ever. — o_O Mr. Adee's statement in regard to the difficulties of the investigation of crimes against foreigners in China indicates that the only way to deal with China is to adopt the Japanese method. Say After going to New York seven times for a Presidential nominee, and seating only one of the seven statesmen named, the Democratic party is entitled to a rest from all Eastern demands. Ohio Democrats appear to be depend- ing for victory upon Republican bad management of State aMairs. They are certainly not likely to win by their com- promise with the goldbugs.

It takes the scene was being enacted in the Recorder’s court, a very similar one was in progress in the Court of Special Sessioris, in which about fifty arrested liquor dealers pleaded guilty and paid their fines, preferring this outcome of the matter to a transfer of their cases to the Court of General Sessiona. The proceedings in both courts were in ac- ] cordance with a general plan of surrender upon which practically the entire liquor interest of the city is agreed. Gone Far Enough.

It now seems to be a “burning question’”’ with Chairman Maffitt and some other members of the Democratic State Executive Committee whether they will recognize or disregard the additions made to the com- mittee by the Pertle Springs Convention. mme disregard business of the wishes of the Democracy of the State has gone about far enough, and it is hoped that Chairman Maffitt and other members of the old committee will heed the voice of the Democracy and not listen to the narrow, factional and personal counsels of a few gold bug leaders. The committee are the servants of the Democrats of the State, or ought to be, and not of a few would-be leaders of the gold standard persuasion who could not for any State office carry a county in Missouri. The True Cause of Lynchings. From the De Soto (Mo.) Facts. After twenty-four hours and a half delib- eration, the jury in the Duestrow case at Union failed to agree, standing seven for acquittal and five for conviction. There is surely something wrong with our system of dealing out justice in this country. Had it been a poor man who committed the atrocious crimes of this rich villain, he would have suffered the penalty long ago. But as long as his money holds out, justice will lag, and the blood of his dead wife and “child will call for vengeance in vain.

The boat race between William Senn, an active member of the Modoc Rowing Club, and Gussie Buder, a retired member of the same club, took place Sunday mornin Forest Park lake in the presence of a large number of local acquatic sports. The race was a beautiful one from start to finish. Senn and Buder caught water at the same time and up to the half-way point both were pulling a steady and even thirty-two stroke. Senn’e stroke was the stronger ahd was forging him ahead when Buder changed to a Short, quick stroke of about thirty-six to the minute. His spurt sent him ahead of Senn and he finished six boat lengths ahead of the latter. Senn's rowing shows him to be in better form and practice than Buder, but the latter’s spurt came when unlocked for and was too strong for Senn to pick up.

Nannie is dead.“ She was seated upon the floor, holding her sister’s head in her arms, rocking back and forth and moaning; much as a mother would over a child. He found that Nannie had been dead for hours and laid her body upon the bed in his own room, finding no mark of violence but slight discoloration on one of her tem- ples. According to the story written by Holmes, Minnie Williams had deen away the preced- ing — * and Holmes had also been unex- ctedly detained by business all night. fhen Minnie Williams returned that morn- ing she noticed that his bed had not been occupied during the night. Her act, according to Holmes’ statement, was prompted by jealousy, and he describes the affair as follows: “With only this one thought in her dis- ordered mind, she had rushed into the ad- joining room, where her sister then sat, and in a voice which only the very few who have been intimately acquainted with Miss Williams can appreciate, had said: ou devil, you have stolen my husband from me.’ At the same time she had struck her sis- ter with a small foot-stool, causing her to fall to the floor, where, with hardly a struggle, she had ceased to breathe.“ At first Minnie thought her sister had only fainted, and tried to revive her. Then she found her efforts useless, and remained in the position in which he found her. Then came the question of what to do. Holmes’ story of what was done Is as follows: We clothed Nannie in a light dress she had liked to wear, and taking a large trunk she had brought with her from Texas, placed her in it.“ Holmes says the body was put in a trunk and thrown into the lake! The last I ever saw of Miss Williams was in Detroit last fall and my belief is that she is still alive and well.’ FELL THREE STORIES. Six-Year-Old 1 Maxwell’s Skull Crushed on the Stone Flagging.

Officer Thomas Finan had a desperate encounter early Sunday morning with Matt Whitefield, a negro, 49 years old, which resulted in several shots being exchanged. About 4 o’clock in the morning Finan saw the negro run out of an alley near Tenth and Olive streets. He called to him to halt. Instead of obeying, the negro wheeled about and fired a shot at the officer. The bullet missed the latter’s head by about an inch. The negro then started to run. Finan gave chase and during the pursuit sent four shots after the fugitive. During his flight the negro fired two more shots at the officer.

Gave Her for Father Thompson’s Daughter. The very unusual story of swapping a daughter for a wife is reported from To- ledo, Wash. A farmer named Thompson lost his wife a short time ago. She left him a little baby girl. The child he took to a neighbor by the name of Putnam to be cared for. Of course frequent visits were made to see how the baby was getting along. d : Mme. Putnam was quite a comely petson and very soon attracted the attention of the widowed farmer. Then he soon learned. to love her, but worst of ail his love was reciprocated.

Imogena wrote Mrs. Orsae to keep it all a t, but said she would soon be here. he arrived Saturday week, went to Mrs, Orsae’s and Iverson was sent for. When he entered Mrs. Orsae’s parlor there was a surprise on both sides.

MONTREAL, Quebec, Aug. 2%.—Several hundred excursionists aboard the steamer Cultivateur had a narrow escape from seri- ous accident by fire last evening on Lake Francis, two miles from shore. An oil stove in the ‘lunch room was overturned and in an instant the room was enveloped in flames. The prompt action of a few passengers and deck hands saved the boat from serious damage and 2 destruc- tion, and a combination of prompt bravery and lucky circumstances averted a panic which would have surely resulted seriously. Among the passengers were nearly 200 Knights Templar and their ests from Chicago and other parts of Illinois. VICTOR COMBINATION SUITS FOR SCHOOL BOYS. We retail good suits for $5.00.

In fact. the 10 was the main highway of London, tra The waterman's livery was a scar white duck trousers, and as soon as .Bucceeded the three-cornered one, headgear was added. To this day the few watermen who walk with oars over their shoulders in the annual Lord Mayors pro- cession wear this uniform. h Six jolly young watermen com ete eac year for the prise. The course is a ut over five miles lo and ina crowded par of the river. The Fishmongers’ Company, one of the eat guilds, superintends th n me a number o er, royal priinces, and Mr. Gladstone, lieve, and a number of noblemen. O was the prize, the famous ‘coat red cloth, with skirts like a Norfol et,, with two rows of metal buttons, and the badge, a disk of silver about the size of a cheese plate, with the date of “the race, and a space left for the name of" the winner. In addition to the prize the winner received $50, the second man $30, a 80 on down to the last man, who received $10 if he rows over the course. — The W men wear their coats and badges at the banquet gfven by the Fish- mangers’ Company, to which they are ad- mitted as winners of the prize, and form a double line, through which the guests of the Prime Warden approach the dining- room. For this each man receives $1.26 and a supper. The race was started this year at 10:30 o'clock a. m. An officer known as the Barge Master gave the word. He Was at- ti in a cocked hat, a scarlet coat, and had a gold badge on his left arm as large * a dinner plate. The contestants were tenning of Poplar, Gadson of Greenwich, Gidson of Putney, Brain of Richmond, Cobb of Putney and Hardy of Greenwich. Gibson And -Gadson struggled as far as Westminster bridge, about half way; then Gibson pulled ahead and won by eight lengths.

SATISFIED WITH $5. Philosophy: of the Son of a Deceased Tobacco Magnate. NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—Moritz Ertheiler, the wealthy tobacconist, who died recently, left his son, P. H. Ertheiler of Philadelphia, only $5 in his will. The son is perfectly satisfied. Some years ago a judgment of 510,000 damages was rendered against him in a patent right case. He could not pay it and it is said that by private arrangement with his father he was to be cut off, be- cause if he should inherit a substantial sum the $10,000 could be collected. CATTLE TORMENTORS. They Called Themselves Bull Fighters, but Disgusted All Spectators. CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., Aug. 26.~—Plaza de Tores, the bull-ring at Gillette, was the scene yesterday of a sickening exhibition of what was called “bull-fighting.’’ The an- mals were tame Herefords and were simply tortured and slaughtered by the Mexican “fighters.’’ Several arrests have been made and feeling runs high.

There is little fighting going on No one ventures to predict when the war will come to an end. It the insurrection goes on for another year, the sugar industry will be prostrated.

Mdny — tiens not laid waste by the insurgents ave been practically abandoned. e lab- orers have fled to the towne and the cane is uncut. Next season, if the estate goes tin- cultivated, the fields will be ovegun with weeds and scon bee worthless for pro- Gucing a crop of stigar. In fact, the sugar planters really bear the unt of the war. They will have to y enormous taxes even if the insurrection e put down. At present every planter is threatened wi ruin tf he does not con- tribute money to the insurgents’ cause. The sugar planters are between the devil and the deep sea. If they do not pay large sums of money ‘for protection,’ their flelds are laid waste. If they ask ‘protection’ from the Government they are marked as enemies of the republic, and their property will be set on fire or ruined at the first op- portunity. On the steamer as a fellow-pas- senger with Dr. Von Herff, was John Bourdette of Guantanamo. His mission to this city is an unusual one.

MEXICO, Aug. 2.—The National, a news- paper friendly to the Government, criti- cises the attitude of the Liberal Govern- ment organ on the Cuban question. The latter paper has taken ground against the annexation of Cuba to Mexico, alleging that the negro population is an insuperable obstacle. It is probable that a majority of the peo- ple here, if the case was put to a vote, would declare in favor of admitting Cuba into the Mexican Union. A GILSONITE COMBINE. After the Rich Deposits in the Uncom- pahgre Reservation. Special to The Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—There will be a strong fight over the successor td Capt. W. S. Davis, late member of the commission for selecting and distributing lands to the Uintah and Uncompahgre Indians. A com- bine is said to have been formed of New York, New Jersey and St. Louis capitalists to control this appointment for the purpose of securing if possible a monopoly of the vast gilsonite deposits which lie along the eastern boundary of the Uncompahgre res- ervation. Under the law providing for the opening of the Uncompahgre reservation no person is permitted to locate more than two claims of ten acres each, containing asphaltum or gilsonite.

Some sentences in Mexican courts in dueling cases have been severe, but that imposed on Ro- mero is the severest yet, and it is a heavy blow at the 12— of settling disputes dn the field of honor in Mexico.
