McKinley Regarded by the ‘Stalwart Young’ Texan as the Probable Republican Candidate, Standing in the lobby of the Planters’ last night, chatting with a grouy of friends Was a smooth-faced, bright-eyed man, with, clean-cut, regular features, who attracted more than a passing glance from the loung- ers and, guests who caught a glimpse of his eh are untouched by the p Time, while the snowy locks abo a are in striking contrast to the coal- lack mass of hair that covers the rest of his well-poiged head. ith overcoat on arm, a tall, lank man, with high cheek-bones, small eyes and prominent nose, stood, in a lodse-fitting suit of black and topped by a broad black som- brero, towering beside the Governor. This was Secretary of State Allison Mayfield. Near him, with his back against one of the pillars of the rotunda, loomed the figure of ex-Senator Gus Houston of San. Antonio swarthy as a Spaniard, with raven hair and iron-gray mustache. To the right of the Governor stood Charles 8. Morse, Clerk of the Supreme Court of Texas, a short, corpu- lent middle-aged man with chin whiskers and a smile playing across his jolly c te- nance, " “You must excuse me from talking polt- tics,” said Governor Culberson with a de- precatory wave of his hand to a Post-Dis- patch reporter who asked him what was the outlook of things political in his State. However, I am ‘at liberty to tell you what the present mission of myself ard these gentlemen is. We are going to Wash- ington to use our best efforts and those of our Representatives and Senators in Congress to induce, if possible, the Se-re- tary of Agriculture to change.a late ruling of his by which he placed the cattle quar- antine line along the extreme northern boundary of the State, and to remove it back to its former location bisecting the State from the New Mexican to the Ar:- zona boundary several miles to the south- ward of its present delimination. “‘Now, ‘don’t plump any more questions at me about Texas politics,”’ retorted the Gov- ernor when the reporter came at him once more with language brought to a standstill by a question mark. : “Judging from what I see in the papers,” he went on, “the Republican § sitnation seems to be McKinley against the field. He has a clean personal and political rec- ord, and his private and public morality appears to be without a flaw. McKinley is an extremist, however, in his economic creed, and while I believe, if elected, his administration would be free from scandals and the taint of public venality, it would prove for the country one of the most dis- astrous in the history of the country. “If the National Democracy will adopt a platform freeing silver from the legislative ligatures that have held it down since ’73, I firmly believe it will win the battle of ’96 against any man the Republican party may place in the field. Gold is free, let silver be equally free. Untie the white metal, and it will soon take the pole of the financial ut his tem- ae ¢ ‘ We te POS we lel Ve op Sanh ie” ei ; pie a . s 4 ; ‘4 ry at . = : oe ; ries. ame x ¥ t 4.43 gjitha RR AAD tree SET OS. a SSE: ad SMe AED bine) ” Sg) cna mn tion of hostility, and the others who oppose Blackburn because he favors free silver have been laughing in their sleeves on ac- ¢ount of the endorsement of their course. While the Blackburn crowd ® quarreling with Carlisle, the Republicans also have something to engross them in a little split between Dr. Hunter and Gov. Bradley. The Governor, it seems, is the cause of all the delay in instituting revolutionary measures. But for him Dr. Hunter would long ago have forced through the two con- tests and taken chances on the Democrats doing what they threatened to do. It de- velops that to this Bradley objected and went to the extent of intimating that the doctor had better go slowly and carefuly; that he was not in a hurry to sign an eliec- tion certificate obtained through question- able means. : There have been rumblings for several weeks precipitating the outbreak, which has just culminated in an interview with the Governor in answer to attacks, or rather covered insinuations, made by Hunter that he had failed to lend his support to his rty’s nominee for the Senate. Gov. Brad- ey realizes to a large extent his majority was drawn from the Democratic ranks and was a result of the agitation against the “ring,’’ which has so long been in office. His salty statement of his position caused a great stir in poltical circles, and makes assurance doubly sure that Hunter’s elec- | accomplished. Brad- the Legislature strong, and the idea once out that he does not wish. the election of Hunter or does not look upon him as a proper representative of the perty in Ken- tucky in the Senate, and the wily doctor is more than ever doomed, It is believed that,from now on he will contiriue to lose from among even his heretofore warmest supporters, be in can not folowing tion ley’s is One thing in regard to Blackburn's course is noticeable—a decided reviusion of feel- ing in his favor. For a “ime, after his elec- tion appeared an impossibility, there was a disposition to blame him for not stepping aside, making a sacrifice of himself, and al- lowing some other Democrat to be elected. But as the excitement is wearing away and things are being seen in their true light, ex- Oe ye of sympathy for Blackburn are eard on all sides. There is no reason why he should — a sacrifice of himeelf, the people who formerly blamed him are now beginning to see it that way.

Well, I don’t mind telling you that I eame to meet my brother Charles and Mr. Forman, the ex-Congressman. I guess you know them both. here they sit,’’ pointing to the two gentlemen whose names were mentioned and who sat on the’bed very close to the Colonel’s chair. “I wanted to see my brother about hav- ing some trees cut on my farm over in IIli- nois and I wanted to see Mr. Forman on another matter of business,’’ Col. Morrison further volunftered. . “But the evening newspapers réport that your visit to Springfield resulted in remov- ing the friction in the party in Illinois that is said to have existed previously,” the re- porter suggested. “They do, eh? Well, well,”’ Col, Morrison mused. “I hadn’t before heard of any fric- tion in the Illinois Democracy. I have had considerable to do with .removing friction in the operation of various railroads in the country during the past few years. But I didn’t know before that there. was anything like friction in politics. No, no~—I didn’t know that before. However, I suppose you refer to the effect of my visit to Spring- field this morning. , “Well, just to be civil, I don’t mind tell- ing you that I met at Spri eld this morn- ing Chairman Hinrichsen of the State Com- mittee and other gentlemen who run the po- litical machine, State and national, and d a very satisfactory talk with them. e talked politics, and nothing but politics, and everybody seemed pleased.” “and Gov, Altgeld?” : “Oh, yes, I met the Governor at Chicago t—that is, Friday night, He arrived 5 o’clock in the evening, and I left ngfield at 11:30 that night.

A STEP BACKWARDS. The experience of the American peorle has proved that politics is deadly poison to the public school system. AU. of the best progress in public education has been in the direction of freedom from partisan control or influence'‘in its man- agement. This is essential to the +¢ffi- ciency of the schools. The »resent condition of the New York public schools is a warning to othes cities. The schools there have been discredited and demoralized by partisan coptrel and the people have a desperate struggle be- fore them to redeem them. This has been the Tésult wherever the political bosses have obtained a hold on gcho)! boards and school funds. St. Louis has been working towards the emancipation of her schoo!s im political influences, Will her neople take a backward step and place their public school system ufider the degrading an.] corrupting bondage of partisan boysism? al NO STREET SIGN JOBS. The House of Delegates is wearing out public patience by its delay in considering the Council bill providing for street signs. The bill has received the indorsement of the Business Men’s League, the Mer- ecantile Club, the Merchants’ Exchange and the Rea] Estate Exchange. The ijast named body has appointed a committee to use’all the legitimate means available to secure the passage of the measure. It has the support of the mass of the people. The only imaginable reasun for delay is the influence of pefsons who want to secure advertising privileres in connec- tion with the signs, An ordinanc? grant- ing the privilege of erecting advertising signs would be a fat job for the bene- ficiaries. The postponement of she meas- ure can only be accounted fwr, on the theory that the Delegates are dickering with jobbers. The people of St. Louls want street signs, but not with any such disyvracéfru] attachments. Public opinion is against allowing the demand for signs to be nade the excuse and cloak for an adverttsing grab. , Tr —, — ENCOURAGING BUSINESS SIGNS. The business reports for the week-show two cheering conditions which offset the disappointment of excessive hope of good effects from the bond sale. The bank clearings for the country d@uring the past six days indicate an increase over the clearings of the corre- - ‘sponding period of last year of 31 per cent, This is te largest increase during a similar period Yor many months. ; The oalities are of little gxcellent showing — See —— h is the large _for last will confer a favor by reporting tne same. - 4 Of the poor never hear of? -1a it not true Bee ‘4 beautiful and lovable young girl, whose ™~ | of -fiving*+is possible to humanity and merchants who were int wed by.

I am not quite ready to say that I am unreservedly opposed to capital punishment, but I begin to think that hanging is a hideous mode of illustrating man’s legal right to take a\part of God's prerogative of life and death in his own hands. The Fitzgerald horror’ this past week makes the blood run cold to think of. If we must continue under the law to kill certain men or women who have sinned against it, let us hope that science will, enable, us some time to do so without re- sorting to such relics of savagery as the noosed rope. Extinction of this mortal life is all that the lay demands, not the torture of the victim, Why not lot hanging KO out with the nine- teenth century? My excuse for commenting upon prize fights and brutal executions to-day is, that they came between me and the bright sun of heaven this past week, and “would not down.” One cannot shut one’s éyes to the actualities of life. I am through with them now, however. Thank goodness, there’s so much else bet- ter worth seeing in this world after all, that one needn’t grow morb'd studying the gross or grewsome. There's more sunlight than shadow, more truth than falsehood, more good than evil in life, And I honestly believe that this happy preponderance of good already established is growing more marked year by year. I do not know, however, whether Mrs. John D. Townsend's New York “Curfew bill’ is in the line of our betterment or not. Mrs. Townsend wants the curfew to ring in New York City at 8 o’clock every win- ter’s night and 9 o'clock every summer's, and after it shall have rung no boy or | girl under 16 years of age to be allowed on Gotham’'s streets. Somehow or other this seems to me like a joke. What is New York trying to do any@ay, with its Roosevelts and Mrs. Town- sends and the like? Some day or other somebody will write a new “Alice in Won- derland,”’ and poor old Gotham will figure as the grotesque capital of that deliciously absurd’ country. Yesterday was the anniversary of Wash- ington’s Birthday and I am, therefore, pe- culiarly glad to be able to call attention to the following happening in Belleville, our Iitnois suburb: Young Joe Brueggeman of that town on Thursday last shied a rock at a pigeon. The rock missed the bird and broke &@ window im the Hinckley Bank Building. The bey went to the Police Stativn—though accused by none—reported the fact himself and promised to pay the damage. ~ How's that for a modern “cherry tree” incident? And this Belleville boy needn't have actually lied in words to go unpun- ished. He could simply have remained. silent. It strikes me that Joe Brueggeman ¥ quite a moral hero.

And what do you suppose the children of St. Louis think when they contemplate such a School Board? I see that Col. W. R. Mbrrison says he will accept the Dernocratic nomination for President this year if it is tendered to him unanimously, and if it comes to him easily and naturally. I fail to recall any man in public life in this country quite big enough to decline a Presidential nomination under similar cir- cumstances. And to save my life I cannot fx upon any man who ts likely to receive a nomi- nation this year in such a shape. Nomina- tions for the Presidency, like any other good thing, are worth fighting for if they are worth having. j Somehow or other, it seems to me that the court-martial to be ordered for a hear- ing of the case of insubordination charged against American Commander Ballington Booth of the Salvation Army will not be a very edifying proceeding; The charges to be preferred against him will emanate from his brother, Herbert Booth, of the Canadian contingent of the Army, and the hearing will be before his father. the especial head of the English division. All that Ballington Booth asked, it ap- pears,. was to be allowed to remain in con- mand of the American division of the Sal- vation Army. which he had established and bullt up. It has been hinted that both the English and Canadian divisions were jealous of the great success of the Army organization in this country, Let us hope that this petty jealousy is not at the bottom of the present movement against the Salvaion Army’s American chief.

Lent, with its quieting, soothing fingers, has come to touch the flushed brows of society and hypnotize it into a needed calm for thé next forty days. e It seems to me that the figure of Lent should always be drawn as that of a sweet- eyed, tranquil aun, following close in the footsteps of some beautiful, madcap mas- querader, bringing peace where there had been tumultuous revelry, making the world sweeter and fajrer for the coming of spring. What have you determined to deny your- self during Lent? Something for which you really don’t care very much, anyway? I regret to say that this comes very mear being the general rules of Lenten sacrifices in this worldly world of ours, despite all our protestations. Isn’t it a shame?

Ma St. Louis, Feb. 22. Execution by Poison. To the Editor of The Post-Dispatch. The dreadful scene at the execution of Fitzgerald yesterday emphasizes the neces- ity for a more humane method of pics ing the death penalty. occurrence brutalizes the entire community, and the fear that it may be in hi case makes the last days of each s sien ing -victim an inexcusable torture. The New York method of executing by electric- ity is zcompsorasens, uncertain, little better than hanging so far as its inhuman feat- ures are concerned, and has the demerit of peing worse in its sensational characteris- o The law has no intention of torturing a man who has been declared by a jury to be unworthy of longer life. If it had, break- ing on the wheel would be a common method. So long as society inflicts the death pen- alty, no more humane manner of carrying out its decree will be found than by some active poison. For example, let the con- }demned person lie down in his cell, an anesthetic be administered, and while he is unconscious, let a few drops of anhydrous prussic acid be injected into one of the jugular veins. Death will be instantaneous, certain and painless; there will be no disfig- urement of the body, and there can be no ghastly blunder as occurred yesterday. The method is easy, inexpensive and requires no elaborate machinery for its execution. Any Sheriff, assisted by the county physician, can perform the operation, without being harrassed fer days beforehand by the fear of a possible failure. There is no necessity of offending that large conservative class who oppose any kind of a change by substituting this as the only method of capita] punishment, and do- ing itat once. All that is necessary is that the law shall give to a man condemned to death the option of this method if he pre- fers it to hanging; and let the condemned himself say which method he will have.

The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—To win a bet of $00, _ William Sickles swam acrogs Setauket Lake on Sunday night. The lake is a quarter of a mile wide, and the thermometer was 14 be- low freezing point. To reach open water he had to walk out over the ice that had formed along the edge of the lake. It took him five minutes to get across the lake and he has shown no il] effects of his exposure. He says he would repeat the performance for the same amount of money. His oppo- nents tin the betting were Ellis H. Davis, Dr. Bates ead James Fallon, all well known men. They talked over the case of a horse which had broken through the ice a few 8 before, been hauled out and had died from the effects of his bath. A dispute arose as to the ability of man and horse to wit d exposure and finally Mr. Sickles said*he could swim across the lake without suffering. The others each offered to bet him $20 that he could not. At this time the doctor warned him of the risk. “That’s all right,’’ said he, “I will take the risk and the bet. My money will be ready. I will meet you at half past seven at Davis” Hotel, and I will undreas there and swim across. One of you can be there with a blahket and a pair of shoes for me.” At the hour. named the’ four men -met. Sickles undressed, wrapped himself in a blanket and started for the shore on a run. Davis had preceded him to get ready a boat in case of emergency. It was Hight enough for the men to see the outlines of the other bank. He flung off the blanket and ran out on the ice until it gave way under him, then he plunged into the water. There was a great splash and then the sound of water parting under the rapid strokes of the swimmer. “iow is tt out there?’ said one of the men on shore. “Wet. Get around to the other side,’’ The men ran around with the blanket and shoes 4nd waited, calling out occasionally to make sure that the swimmer was all right. Each time the answer came back strong and cheery. Presently a voice from out of the waters cried: “I am up against ige. All right; here’s bottom; g?fvwe me a hand.”’ They helped him up on the bank, wrapped him in the blanket, put on his hoes, gave him some whisky and ran him round to the hotel.. Then they asked him how he felt? , | ‘“‘Haven’t felt as much alive in ten years. At first when I struck the water I felt a sort of electrical shock, but that was.soon over and the rest was easy. What time did I make?” “Four minutes and a half,’” gaid one of the men. The bet was not paid immediately, but when in three days he was in fine condition, without even a cold in his head, the others settled up. By way of putting a finishing touch of contrast to his swim, Mr. Sickles went out on Monday night and walked over tHe entire course which he had swam on the previous night. It was frozen to a safe-bearing thickness. SOUTHERN. ILLINOIS - NORMAL.

Notable Work Done by the State Board of Illinois. Special to The Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Feb. 22.—The State Board of Arbitration to-day received the first notification of the garment-makers’ strike in Chicago. A communication was received from the Chicago Civic Federation enclosing two resolutions adopted by that body requesting the board to take imme- diate steps to establishing an early re- sumption of work. Mayor Swift of Chicago also forwarded afletter asking the board to take immediate steps for arbitration and enclosed resolutions received by him from the Civic Federation. * Col. Charles P. Rend, Chicago member of the board, wired that he had officially call- ed upon both operators and employes and advised arbitration and requested that each } party sign the necessary blanks which had een sent them, asking for arbitration. His proposition. was immediately refused by both operators and employes, and he advised Charles J. Reifier, resident member of the board, to come to Chicago at once and try and arrange for arbitration. Mr, elfler leaves for Chicago Surday and will exhaust all methods for arbitra- tion, and after that will probably make an investigation of the situation. If the par- tles concerned will not arbitrate, there ap- pears to be nothing under the new law that will compel an arbitration. If one side would consent to arbitration the matter could \then be terminated. Otherwise not. HE KILLED BELLWOOD. Foster's Storyef How Bateman Was a Sayer. Special to The Port-Dispatch. CARLYLE, IIL, Feb. 22.—The trial of the Bellwood murder suspects was continued to-day. Mike Foster, the man arrested three weeks ago charged with being an ac- cessory to, the murder, stated under oath that Frank Bateman approached him and asked him tc help him rob a man at Cen- tralia over a year ago. Foster refused to have anything to @o with it. Bateman then said there was no danger; that he had killed one man and would kill another if peces- sary. He told Foster if he would help do the job he wovild tell him who he killed. Foster agreed to help him, but the job failed. Bateman told him (Foster) that he killed Bellv’ood at Carlyle with a car pin and had robbed him of $500. He buried the money and used it little at a time, thus es- ecaping detection. He saw Bellwood treat some girls at the show and display a large roll of money. Bateman said to Foster dur- ing noon recess at the jail: “I’m a— know-nothing in this—you better be the same.’’ Bateman threatened to kill if he ever squealed on him. * Bateman denied everything Foster had said, but contradicted himself several times on cross-examination. The case was con- tinued until Feb. 28 to give time to proéure further evidence. SEE THE STARTLING SILVER OF- FERS OF THE MERMOD & JACCARD JEWELRY CO... BROADWAY, CORNER LOCUST, ON PAGE 7. Scanlan Dramatic Club. The Scanlan Dramatic Club will make its Initial bow to the public this evening at Concordia Turner Hall, Thirteenth and Ar- senal streets. The club was recently or- ganized by South End talent, and bids fair to become quite popular, as they have quite a select number of members who show great talent for amateurs. There is in the mem- bership Lillie Henrietta Giger, who is only 5 years old. but she takes quite a prominent part in their entertainments. The club will produce a four-act comedy drama. to- night, entitled, “The Winning Hand.” AFRAID OF CONSUMPTION. — People who lose flesh are in danger of con- sumption. In many cases loss ot flesh is the first symptom of the dread disease. | Light weight is too often a sign of some wasting disease which gets its first. start from indigestion. Cure the indigestion and heaith, strength and flesh will be rapidly regained. All physicians are agreed that the most important thing to be dené in such cases is to improve the appetite and digestion: and if this cannot be done there is very little hope, for strength, flesh, pure blood and strong nerves can only come from plenty of whole- some food well digested. This is the reason so many physicians recommend Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, be- cause of their wonderful invigorating and nutritive properties. For loss of vigor. headaches, constipation, sour risings and other symptoms of dyspepsia they constitute the safest, most natural cure. And there is a good reason for their Success. -They are composed of the natura! digestive acids and truit essences which every weak stomach lacks. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets rapidly in- crease the welght, the hectic flush soon leaves the consumptive’s cheek, the skin as- sumes the hue of health, night sweats cease, the cough dies away and the emaciation is lost under a coating of warm, normal flesh. Taken after meals these Tabiets digest all wholesome food eaten, increasing the appe- tite, enriching the blood and soon remove those miserable feelings which only the dys- peptics can appreciate. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents for full sized package.

Charlie Comfort, who has posed as, chief fugelman for Cyrus P. Walbridge for the past three years, has been turned down by the Merchants’ Leagué Club, and thereby hangs a little tale. Comfort made application for member- ship three weeks ago. In the natural order of events it went to the advisory commit- tee of which your Uncle Filley is chair- man, for consideration. After ‘“‘consider-,| ine’ it for two weeks they reported Mr. Comfort’s name adversely and the tip went out that he had been rejected. The Filley men are claiming now that Comfort was kept out of the club for the reason that his application was the starter of a scheme that was designed to turn the organization over to albridge. For months city officials an@ employes have been quietly working their way into the Merchants’ League, and at the present time there are nearly enough of them to ex- ercise a control. ‘The only drawback was that they were without @ jeader. Comfort was selected ag the man to make the fight and the plan was to capture the club for the Mayor to further his gubernatorial as- pirations. Filley saw the scheme and Comfort was left outside the breast works. HARRISON IN NBW YORK. The Ex-President Declines to See Quiz- zing Reporters.

We do not seek, nor shall we seek, to take any advantage of the strong ent respecting our “farewell” existing in al parts of the country by attempting to sever the United States branch of the army from the parent organization as a separate or in- dependent movement. Though through the help of our unfailing God, aided by the efficient (and to us) happy co-operation of our officers, our toil has been rewarded in upbuilding the movement in this great coun- ‘try, yet we do not wish any action of ours to have the appearance of personal ambi- tion, nor do we wish our precious senope to stand for a moment in the relationship of opponents to those of other nations, made brothers and sisters by one common’ bond of Christianity. ® Despite our intense and’ undying love for America and our.comradés. hére, we should have had no other thought or pur. pose than that of proceeding to England for another command, were’ we able to do so. But owing to conscientious feelings and private reasons, well known to the General, we are unable. to enter upon new duties and controversies In connection with a. foreign ~wemrratrd.” Owing to our inability to longer work freely°as leaders: in the army under existing circumstances, we have known to London our decision not to ac- cept another appointment. This does not mean that we will no longer. be salvation- ists, nor that we shall be any other than the warmest friends of our comrades thraughout the world.’ 3. We, therefore, proposed, as wisely and as expeditiously as possible, to relinquish and hand over our command, fully and ab- solutely, to’ the incoming commissioners MRS. BALLINGTON BOOTH. when they arrived. London "headquarters, however, sent over three separate. repre- sentatives unannounced (we grant at sac- rifice and cost) who pressed us to an im- mediate decision, offering us proposals we could not accept. Yesterday at midnight with most positive and uncalled for precip- ftation, with the authority of international headquarters, Commander Herbert Booth demanded that we hand over our keys and oftice by 10 o’clock this: morning. We had therefore, no alternative but to accept our peremptory digmissal. , 1. None can fully comprehend what this s*ep has cost us. The blade of disappoint- ment has gone deep. The struggle and suf- fering have been long. We have sought not to be hasty in this matter, but the interna- tion headquarters thave pressed us hourly for a definite decision. In felinquishing our command, Wwe.are giving up all, nor’ have we any plans or prospects for this emer. Bency. » Finally, wé know full well that by some | persons untrue and unjust motives will be attached to our action, but we feel con- soled in the fact that those who have wit- | nessed our lives, together with our toil and | eifort during the past nine year#® will, at feast, give us credit for acting conscien- Uously and disinterestedly and for doing "f ht before the Lord of our hearts. AVe have repeatedly called upon all of our (roops to stand by the army, ite General * and its principles. We do eo again.

Partisans of Ballington Booth say the se- cret of his removal lies wholly in the fact that he has succedded tn almost completely Ameritcanizing the Salvation Army in. this country.’ Hi methods aroused the antag- onism of a little English coterie, headed by Col. Eadie, the Chief Secretary, who came over from England one year ago. Gen Booth, father of Ballington, and Com- mander-in-Chtef of the Salvation Army did not fancy the idea.of the army in America breaking away from the English precedents and was finally prevailed upon to order the withdrawal of Ballington Booth. According to a clause in the constitution of the army, the Commander is absolute owner of all the real estate of the organiza- tion, The building in West Fourteenth etreet, completed ri in the last year, rep- resents sno ,000, which is deeded to the Commander,.in his own name.

He then made known. his full authority. “I have authority -to dismiss you from office,”” he said, “and to appoint your suc- cessor. } demand of you all\the property of the Army in America.that stands in your name. You are dismissed from office.” DEEPLY DEPLORED. How Booth’s Removal Is Regarded at London Headquarters. LONDON, Feb. 22.—Bramwell Booth, Chief of Staff at the London office of the Salvation Army, to-day informed represen- tatives of the Associated Pregs that there was no truth in the report cabled from America to the effect that Commander Ballington Booth had been forcibly ejected from the hg reget of the Salvation Army in New York City. The report that Ballington Booth had been forcibly re- moved from the command of the Ameri- can territory was also denied. Bramwell Booth said that the resignation of Balling- ton Booth from the office of Commander was deeply ee at the London head- quarters. He does rot believe the statements made that acts of retaliation on the part of the American officers of the Salvation Army will follow, as the result of the loss in the support of the work in America he has good reason to expect that all the of- ficers there will remain faithful to the flag of the army and carry on under the new leader shortly to be appointed the notable a already commenced in the United tates. COL. NICOL’S STATEMENT. Ballington Booth’s Resignation Has .Not Been Accepted. NEW YORK, Feb.’ 22.—The following statement. by Col. Nicol, the special com- missioner sent qver from the international headquarters of the Salvation Army, was given out at the Army neadquarters to-day: 1. The resignation of the Commander and Mrs. Ballington Booth which has been ten- dered by them to the international! head- quarters has not yet been accepted by the ‘General, In. whom alone is vested the power to accept resignations of territorial leaders. 2. Wedo not accept any responsibility for the Commander’s deplorable action. Commander Herbert Booth was in- structed by the international headquarters to come to New York and confer with his brother on the matters in question, and hav- ing done so, has returned to Toronto. ~ 4. The international headquarters have instructed Col. EB. A. Bady to assume the temporary direction of affairs. We are awaiting further advices. We are going on with our work. God lives and the flag Waves. , In answer to a question concerning the statement that a reward had been offéred for information coneerning the whereabouts of ae Ballington Booth, Col. Eady said: “Sir, there are. very many wild humors afloat in the world. That is a lie.’’ The Acting Commander also stated that it was not true that Col. Nicol, Herbert Booth and Eva Booth had come to New York for the special purpose of court-martialing Commander Ballington Booth. Col. Eady said that the transfer had not been made as yet, but that Commander Ballington Booth, in whose name all the American property is, had promised to complete the transfer in due time, if such should finally be necessary. ‘ Col. Eady seemed very much disheart- ened over the turn affairs have taken. GEN. FRENCH NOT SURPRISED. He, Thinks’ Ballington Booth Over- worked and Out of His Head.

Why a Young Illinois Farmer’s Wife Ignores Him. — Special to The Post-Dispatch. MARION, IIL, Feb. 22.—Louis N. Sheller, a young farmer, who lives four miles south of town, prepared for himself a sure road- way to the State’s prison here this afternoon. On Wednesday he was married to the daugh- ter of Henry Boles, a prosperous farmer of Southern Precinct and to-day the newly ‘wedded pair came to town to buy ‘heir housekeeping outfit. Before his marriage Sheller represen ed to the Boles family that he had lots c: money, owing to him by farmers in St. Clair County, where he re- sided before he came here some twelve months ago. One note for $50 would be due, he said, on the 15th of March. But 8*® Clair County notes would not buy housekeeping outfits in Marion, so Sheller went to the Bank of Marion and negotiated a loan for: $50 for thirty days, provided he could give security suitable to the bank officials. He offered the name of his wife’s cousin, a prominent and prosperous business man of this place.. The security offered was very satisfactory to the bank and Sheller hurried away with the freshly written.note, but he soofr- returned with the sad information. that his wife’s cousin had quit going security on notes at the bank about the Ist of January. Another security was suggested by the bank man in the person of J. M. Burkhart, the dry goods merchant, and at one time presi- dent of the Firs? National Bank. The young man, anxious to take Nome the furniture his bride had already selected and had packed, said he sould readily give the name of Burkhar® on the n6te. When he returned with a name on the note which he had written there for Burkhart the bank: of- ficials told him ‘that waa a plain forgery. Of course he deniedit, but he was turned over to an officer and after a full and free acknowledgment of. his crime to the State Attorney he was sent to jail to await furth- er steps in his case. His new wife says she will never live with him again and he begs the officers Xo take him out and swing him te a tree. OVERDUE SHIP NOT FOUND.

Special to The Post-Dispatch. ! LEBANON, Mo., Feb. 22.—There was a full meéeting of the Democratic Committee of La- clede County in this city *o-day. It was de- cided to elect a new County Committee at the first convention and enter actively into early organization. The committee issued a call for a delegate conven%ion to be held in Lebdnon Saturday, April 4, to elect delegates to the State Convention at Sedalia Apgil 15, | The township meetings.will be held on March 28 and the different townships will at that time select members of the County} Committee,,who will have charge of the county camipaign of 189. The new commit- tee will at once take charge and thoroughly organize the party by schoo! districts. The following resolution was adopted unanimously: Resolved, That in the opinion of the Dem- ocratic Committee of clede County an indorsement of Céeveland’s administration disrupt the party and bring defeat in the approaching election; that we believe that the party should declare for the independ- ent free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1; that if our own townsman and dis- P/ Bland, will consent to the use of his name as a presidential candidate; we commend him fearless Democrat, who, if nominated, would lead the party to victory, and if McKinley to the front. Mr. Hopkins is also unfriendly to the bill, because his superiors do not like it, and in consequence he has been giving the mill- ers very little encouragement. To-day C. G. Jones of Oklahoma and A.

When the visiting millers first began they found it hard work. The com- mittee was against reciprocity and it gave very little satisfaction to Messrs. Jones and Gallagher, until they were shown the pe strength of the millers’ organiza- on. ON THE MONEY QUESTION. Rumor That. Cleveland May Call an Ex- tra Session of Congress. ' CHICAGO, Feb. 22.—The Post’s Washing- ton special gays: On the autherity of a gentleman who enjoys the personal confidence of the Presi- dent as fully as any one living, the state- ment is made that if Congress adjourns without currency legislation along *the lines suggested by Mr. Cleveland, he will call a special session and fc.te.the issue upon the country as; being the-one question of para- mount importance. This is a startling and sensational proposition and it is something that has not been considered by the Repub- lican leaders as ames the possibilities. Speaker Reed and hig lieutenants have expressed the belief that Congress can get through by the middle @6f May and they @re bending their energies to .the accom- plishment of that purpose. It has never } entered info their calculations that the President might have a counter programme which he would endeavor to force upon Con- gress. py it can now be stated that he has and that he proposes to assume the ag- gressive at the proper time. It is the President’s present intention to call Con- gress together in a special session and thus try to force the currency question to the front as the campaign issue, giving it precedence -over protection, Americanism and every other issue, big and little.

Warner men from.every section of Mis- sour! dropped ‘into St. Louis nearly every day last week, quietly but carefully..can- vassed the situation here and returned howe meyepont their presence in the city beeoming: nown to many people. ‘ Prominent among them was John. T. Blake of Kansas City, who brought the news that Major Warner has entered the fight for Governor to stay to the end. ; A curious, if not «significant, Blake’s visit here was that he appeared to be under the special ciceronage of Col. Dick Kerens, who protests that he is for Wal- bridge against the world, though he pro- fesses a very high admiration for Major Warner. A Post-Dispatch reporter, by the merest freak of g luck, was in the office of Col, Nat Frank when Col. Kerens called with Mr. Blake to introduce. the Kansas Cityan to the local candidate for Vice President. Col. Frank had met Col. Blake before, and just why Col. Kerens should drop h‘s busi- ress and walk several blocks to introduce ém does not:appear plain. However, the fact remains that he did, and it is men- tioned here because it is germane to this en Col. Frank, after about an hour's: cenference with Col. Blake, was squarely agiced if the Cityan had not called on him in the interest of Major Warner's cardidacy for Governor he at first evaded the question, but finally admitted that that was the purpose of the visit. Further than that Col. Frank would not discuss the matter. — : feature of was learned that Col, Blake came to B5t. Louis solely in the interest of Maj. Warner, and that while he received no positive as- surances of support for his chief, yet he left the city not altogether discouraged. Whether he accomplished any positive good or not it is known that he succeeded in very effectually puncturing the Webster Davis boom and letting all the wind out-of it until to-day it is a very flabby and inert concern. Blake’s revelations about. young Mr. Da- vis were startling to those who had been led to believe that he had fed on some strange meat since leaping from obscurity into the mayoralty chair of Kansas City two years ago that had enabled him to bestride Missouri like a Colossus. It appears from these recent revelations, despite all that has been said to the con- trary, that the organization whic two years ago boosted the sophomoric young statesman into power at the mouth of the Kaw, has disintegrated and left him whol- ly without gs ates When those who were engineering his boom learned that he had lost his main prop they still clung tena- Cures of Dr. August Schrad- er at Springfield.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—An old man sat shivering with cold in his cottage east of Hicksville, Li. L, this morning. On a bed in the sécond story lay the old man’s sis- ter dead. He was John McNeill,. a one- legged man, who has lived in the cottage for -years. The woman’s name was Agnes McNeill. She was 77 years old and kept house for her brother, who was several years her junior. Every week the old map as been in’ the habit of hobbling to town jon his -crutcHes to buy what little pro- visions the couple needed. Their wants we; few, for they. lived frugally. No one ever visited them of late for they were eccen- tric. The cottage was off any line of travei, and there was no inducement for people to go to it. It has been on Thursdays that ‘the old man visited the town for his pro- visions, but last Thursday he did not ap- ear and this was noticed. The weather ad been very cold and it was thought that perhaps this had’stopped the old man. Tne matter was talked over and the supervisor of the poor notified. He sent Dr. Rave, the town physician to see what was the matter. Dr. Rave drove to the house and found it shut and locked. He knocked sev- efal times, and &fter a while the old man answered and asked who was there and what was wanted. “Ig any one sick?” asked the doctor. “No,” answered the old man. **I am the doctor; let me in. I want to see how you and your Sister are. “You can’t come in; my sister has no need of you,” said the old man, Finally the old man opened the door. ‘‘Where is your sister?’ asked the doctor. Rev. John Snyder, pastor of the Church of the Messtah. said: _ “The schools should be kept out of politics. Of course there are questions of municipal vernment upon which men can honestly ivide and along which party lines can be drawn. But the schools should be kept away from this, and especially should be kept out of the hands.of the professional politicians. They arg for the greater part men, of no principles, although vociferously declaring for the principles of seme party.

Common experience has taught us that the entire school system would soon become a mere political ma- chine. I remember that at one time in this city a member of the School Board, ascer- taining that his political party had a major- ity of the board and that the President of the board belonged to the opposite party, openly tried to influence his fellow mem- bers to turn the school systemeinto a vote pre, pk He declared that the School Board could and should control at least 5,000 votes in this city. He pointed out that each ap- ointment of a teacher should carry with t a certain number of votes. “In short, his idea was to make fealty to party the test in obtaining positions in the schools. Such a plan carried out would quickly turn our school system into a mass of political corruption, and such a plan seems to be hatching in St. Louis a® pres- ent. The working man is most interested in keeping our schools pure and untainted. The rich and well-to-do can send their children to private schools and colleges if the com- mon schools are not satisfactory, but the vast majority of the people must depend upon them to educate their children. The pody politic is vitally interested in the com- mon schools. Upon them our hope for en- lightenment and advancement rests. No matter how cultured and intellectual a cer- tain small class may become it is the gen- eral average that isthe true test under a form of popular government, and it is the average intelligence that fixes the high water mark for social “advancement and national prosperity. Every r of Si, Louis who has the real anteret of the city; as well as his country, at heart, should cast the weight of his influence against any attempt to drag the common schools ino politics.” Rev.

Mr. Cudmore is hardly worried over the outcome of the campaign, for he has the op/ osition well split; and besides has a good side track on his opponents. . Under a resolution of the election com- mittee of the School Board the present in- cumbents were invited to suggest names for judges and clerks of election in their respective districts. When there was a nom- ination by a political party the same r>- quest was made on the central committee- n of that affiliation. he In. the Fifteenth Ward that Cudrfore’s nominees were named patria without any regard being paid to the list submitted by the Republican gentral com- mitteeman. ng Cudmore’s election officials are George Pfalsgraf, alias “Sausage,”’ a dis- tinguished ward heeler, who is registered from the home of Nick Griffin’s mother.

Another peculiarity is that in three poll- ing pracee the two judges. are both regis- tered from the same residence.

The Princess of Wales, in behalf of the Queen, will hold two draw-' ing rooms at Buekingham Palace, one on March 11 and the other on Apxil 21. The Prin- ces& will hold two°more drawing rooms in May. Although these furictions will do some- thing towards brightening up the season, there is no doub® that the court mourning for Prince Henry of Battenberg. has cast a - gloom over the world of society from which complete recovery is impossible for ‘some time to come. The Marquis of Salisbury proceeded to Windsor yesterday in order to consult with Her Majesty on important state business. The premier has not been to Osborne since December. This failure to visit Her Majesty in spite of the troublesome times just passed over is due to the fact’ that the Marquis of Salisbury is a. horribly. bad sailor and is afraid even to venture across the Solent un- less positively compelled ‘0 do so. The racing yacht which the Hendersons are building from George L. Watson's de- signs for Emperor William Is modeled after the Prince of Wales’ Britannia. The new ‘craft is being built secretly under the same shed usedi for the construction of Valkyrie III., and will be nearly if not quite as large as the Dunraven yacht. The préliminary work upon Watson's latest is already well advanced, and rumor ' has it that she will be completed in time to compete at the Cowes regatta. It has been stated that the Prince of Wales, in view ‘of the death of Prince Hen- ry of Battenberg, will not race the Brit- tannia during the season of 1896, and it ‘Ss reported ‘that ‘the German Emperor was so disgusted with the criticisms of the Brit- ish press upon his message to President Krueger, congratulating the latter upon his having suppressed Dr. Jamison and his raiders, ‘that he has expressed his deter- mination.not to visit England this year under any circumstances. The Westminster Gazette, discussing the report that the Prince: of Wales as Com- modore of ‘the Royal uadron has in some manner intervened either to induce Lord Dunraven to send an apology to the New York Yacht Club or to prevail upon his lordship to make an amende honorable, says it has reason to believe that the Prince has not intervened in one way or the oher in the Dunraven matter. ) The Rt.

Bayard, expressing thanks for the receipt of a copy of the te ae of an entertainment, given by the righton College, insisting upon the con- tinuance of Anglo-American friendship, has been published. Mr. Bayard says: “I hail with delight any evidence of generous con- fidence.in the companionship of the great human family to which God has given the English language. It is‘a wise thought to inculcate international sympathies in fthe schools of each country. It is the way the twig is bent that the tree inclines and I hope that the British oak and the Amefican hickory will always incline to friendship toward each other.”’ It is announced that a meeting of the agents of the different British colonies is to be called in order to take steps to ena- ble the English farmers to compete upon better terms with the farmers of foreign countries, by arranging for cheaper trans- portation of English farm produce, ete. In addition, an association is in course of for- mation, having as nucleus a capital of £20,000 to establish plants in the large towns and collecting stations throughout the country for the distribution of produce. But, a reduction in the freight rates on farm produce will first be secured and later, retail stores, if necessary, may be estab- lished throughout the United Kingdom. The scheme as will also be extended, in all proba- bility, to colonial products. _W. E.

These propositions have caused much stir even among the Conservatives, which would compel a conclusion of the dis- cussion on the 20th day and only one day weekly to be devoted toit.

The Colch farmers have pronounced objec- tions to the bill introduced by Mr. Walter Long, President of the Board of Agricul- ture, for the exclusion of foreign cattle. They base their objections on the fact that Canadian steer caitle have proved a suc- cess and are so robust that the farmers cannot be prevailed n to believe that these animals introduced pleuro-pneu- monia into Great Britain. The Field pub- lishes an article on the ‘importation of American horses, ih which his suggested that the animals be examined ‘on their ar- rival here by official veterinary surgeons. On this point the Field says: It is impossible to be too careful that glanders and other diseases are not in- troduced by American and other horses.

He said he failed to see what just reason the United States had for so doing, inasmuch as nothing more was asked of the American compa- nfés than of the Prussian.

Herr Bebel made similar charges in the Reichstag, which the Min- ister of War, General.Bronsart Von Schell- endorf, has most emphatically denied. ‘Herr Bebel and Leugemann declared that the Emperor was not right in severely dis- ciplinmg the Soctalist recruits without reason, but the Minister for War main- eaumed that it was. the unqualified right of his majesty to maintain discipline in the army by any means he saw fit to employ. \.

JOHN TEEMER RETIRES. The Famous Oarsman Has Resigned as Trainer of the Westerns. Trainer John Teemer will sever his con- nection with the Western Rowing Club on March 1 and return with h’‘s family to his home in McKeesport, Pa. Teemer was at one ttme/champion single sculler of America, and the local aquatic fra- ternity will be sorry to see him ieave St, Louis. He has been wh the Western Row- ing Club for nearly four years and up to 1896 worked under a yearly contract. After his contract for 1895 ran out, Teemer was hired by the month. This arrangement was not satisfactory to him and recently he informed the club officials that he would like to retire as soon as somebody could be secured to replace him. Three applica- tions are on file for his position, and the club officials will make a selection in a few days. While in the service of the West- ern Club, Teemer jhas developed Ferd Koen‘g and other teur oarsmen of prominence, a R HANDICAP SHOOT FINISHED.

The life of the nation is in jeopardy, not from foreign foes, but from the declined moral princi- ples of her citizens. 4 So great is she, in her people and her securities, that nothing but the undermining and the desctruction of her manhood can menace her. Happily the revival of the principles of ’76 is under way. The heart of the masses is touched with remorse, whence always comes betterment.” He then introduced the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt of New York as “one of the ¢chiefest aposties of this renaissance.”’ Mr. Roosevelt eaid: Among the great men of all time the very few who were the great- est of the great have necessarily been both etatesmen and soldiers; for it is in state- craft and warcraft, the two arts through which commonwealths are founded, . gov- erned, defended and perpetuated that the ebility of the mightiest leaders of mankind has in the past found, and for fong in the future must continue to find, fts greatest ex- pression. Without statésmen and soldiers no ee ean ever achieve the highest rank. It is true also that with only statesmen and soldiers the highest greatness cannot be achieved. There must be in addition men of letters, men of art, men of science, writers of great books, builders of mighty and beau- tiful-buildings, the deft workers on canvas or in marble, the mien of stientific research who interpret the book of nature and dis- cover and utilize for the benefit of their fel- lows the tremendous natural forces that play blindly about us. Moreover, all of these men must have as the foundation upon which to work a broad basis of material prosperity the architects of this prosperity, beginning with the great- est merchant bankers, railway men and con- tinuing through the line to the last toil- ing handicraft man in the fields or itn the sheps must be strong, honest, healthy, in- telligent and hard working or the State which stands on their broad shoulders will topple. A great State must contain men who excel in all the multitudinous paths of labor and of art, and her citizens must do their full pe in all the necessary and commonplace paths of every day work if they are to fit themselves for facing the great emergencies. The time may @come when al!, men sha'‘l be imbued with the spirit of justice and mercy. When that time does come and all men love one another there will be small need of government and no need of war and the greatest citizen will be neither a statesman nor a warrior, But such a time is long ages distant. As yet life is strife and. every man who Succeeds and who does good to his fellows can only succeed: and can only do good by stfiving mightily and by holding his own with a ready hand in the war for righteousness. And yet we need wise laws well administered to Keep the wicked in check and to prevent the wreck. of 4:¢- cent men; and yet we need, as every nation n Ss, to stand ready to defend our/honor and our interest. Washington was not only one of tha world’s greatest men; he was also the best of the world’s great men. The memory of ench a man is a very precious heritage to the nation if cherished aright. He who reads of Washington’s deeds and remem- bers them that he may becomé.: a ‘wiser and better citizen is in very fact paying good heed to his memory. The politician and the soldier who try to live up to the principles jwhich he illus- trated by word and deed alike, are showing themselves fit to be called his countrymen. Washington’s whole life is meaningiess if it does not show that the decalogue and the golden rule should form the standard for pupiic men above all others. He proved y what he accomplished that it was no mere empty dream, but a successful life. work of our greatest men to make politics better, to make statesmanship purer and to make greater the nation which he had in @ large part created. Washington's name stands for rigid hon- esty. No taient in a public man can atone for dishonesty, ard no community should tolerate in puvlic life a man concerning whose personal and official integrity there is & reasonable doubt. n Washing- tom's name stands for ex truthfulness towards friend and foe alike. He never baad to nega the strongest terms ever. was evil, but he was inc of falsehood and slander. apnole Washington stood and now stands for the elemental) moralities, for the elemental principles of right, for the elemental virtues of honesty, truth, Sstraightforwardness, courtesy and fearlessness in denouncing evil and upholding good.

UNIONVILLE, Mo., Feb. 22.~The lttle five miles’ south of this city, is in a state of great. excitement over the discovery that several grayes in the 4 town of Lemons, Ed. Lemon cemets*y had been robbed, and ‘by prominent citizens of that town, Until a few months ago Dr. J. F. Chapman had an extepsive and lucrative practice in the village of Lemons and surrounding country, which is rich and inhabited with prosperous farmers, when he left -to visit relatives at Kahoka, Mo., and also expecting to go to Dwight, W., to take the Keeley treatment for the drink habit. Before he returned to Kahoka he was taken sick and died in that oity about six weeks ago. Colonel Kennedy, a step-brother of Dr. Chapman’s, came to Lemons one/ day last week to look after Chapman’s estate and also made the sensational statement that Chapman had said just before he died that he and “Ira Baker, his stu@ent, had taken the bodies of several prominent persons, who had died during the past year, from their graves and shipped them to St. Louis and eokuk medical colleges.. Kennedy also said that the clothing of Mts. William- son, who died about six months ago w2s taken from her body and buried in a feed} lot. Locating the spot described in Chap- man's dying statement, an_ investigation was made and a portion of the clothing was found. This discovery verified the story, and yesterday afternoon about forty men went to the cemetery and opened the grave and found the§{casket empty. -Mrs.. Wil- liamson was a widow and has several chil- dren living in this county, among whom is the wife of County Clerk G. W. Houston of this city.- Ira Baker was arrested in Lancaster, Mo., this morning and brought to this city, but was taken to jail at Milan, Mo., The people are enraged, and the report came here this evening that an angry mob had al- ready secured a rope and would meet Baker at the train on the way to Milan. No demonstration was made, however. Kennedy says the bodies of four other persons have been stolen. Their graves will be opened next week, and if found to be true, there will no doubt be trouble of a very sensational nature whén Baker is brought back here for his preliminary trial. MYSTERIOUS PRISONER, Handsome Woman Roughly Handled and Sequestered by the Police. f A handsome but poorly dressed woman was dragged into the Central District Sta- tion’ by Special Officers Gocking and Tim Dannaher last night. She was weeping bit- terly and from.her disarranged clothes and flushed face had evidently resisted the officers desperately and been roughly handled. ys “Who is she?’’ asked Desk Sergeant Mc- _ #ariand. “My name, is Delia Davis,” sobbed the woman. . A couple of reporters were standing near the desk and Gocking seemed greatly wor- ried because they noted her name. “She’s to be put in the holdover, Sér- geant,’’ said Gocking. “But first the matron must search her.’’ The woman was turned over to Dannaher, .who took her %* Matron ,;Harris. This is just as much’ as the police allowed te-be re- vealed about the, mysterious woman. She is said to have traveled under the name of Tamberger and she is suspected of having committed grand larceny. hen she was searched in the matron’s quarters $31.31, a pocketbook and three pawn ‘jickets were sy on a — of the tickets were for set rings and they had been pled "and $1.15. . set eal The third ticket was for a gold watch. There was also ticket for a breast pin set with thirty-twg diamonds. How the woman secured the wn tickets and money will not be divy red by the police. They ar- rested her “scmewhere in the West End about &¢'clock last night. She is of medium heighjfand 27 years old. She told the police h ad been married, but that her hus- had left her three years ago. Since she has been keeping a boarding house. "THE SALVATION ARMY Gen. Booth in His Decision as to Change of Command. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—Chauncey M. De- pew: to-day received a reply which shows that General Boooth, the international com- mander, is firm in his decision as to the change of command in the United States and further that, -.as long ago as January 81, General Ballington Booth had handed in his resignation 88 a result of his re- moval from the command in this country. This resignation, it apears, resulted in the sending of three mediators to this country, but their mission was unsuccessful.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—A local paper prints this (Sunday) morning the following from its special correspondent in Paris: PARIS, Feb. 22=I have just interviewed | one of the most powerful diplomats of the | French Republic and got an extremely im-| portant and authoritative understanding of the presentstate of the French crisis. The official forbade me to disclose his name. ‘‘It is improper for me,’” said he, “‘to express to a correspondent an opinion on public affairs. I will say to you, however, in-confidence, that there has been a great deal of flagrant defiance of law in..Paris of-late. I do not care.to add transgression.” — I asked him for some. enlightenment on the preseht situation. “The crisis is far from over.’’ he vouch- safed to say, but one great thing happened when Senator De Mole made the bold dec- laration in favor of maintainance of the constitution and order was a milestone. It will prove an enormous pyramid across the path of the Chamber of Deputies. They cannot pass ‘through that pyramid, nor can they move away from it. It stops the Chamber like a barrier.’ I asked, ‘‘What is to happen next?” The great man replied: “The crisis is not yet over.” Did you notice the Socialist newspapers last. evening? What did they call the Senate’s action? Capitulation of the Senate was the cry of the news veh- ders.”’ _o THE REAL ISSUE. Paris Papers Fear the . Revelations Arton May Make. LONDON,"Feb, 22.—All the telegrams from Paris to the English press have been for obv‘ous reasons hostile to Bourgeois. There- fore the United States may have been mis- informed about the real issues.

Meanwhile, says the Paris-correspondent, it has freely subsidized the chief: Parisian newspapers, on condition that they should print no un- favorable news from Cuba. The trial of M. §t. Cere and his associ- ates in the LeBaudy blackmailing case, now .set for March 9%, will be vigorously pressed if the Bourgeois Government sus- tains itself meanwhile, and will certainly be prolific of shocking developments both a8 regards the press and corrupt officials.

EL PASO, Texas, Feb. 22.—The question of tu.ning over to Dan Stuart the $6,000 guaranteed him by the citizens of E] Paso ir case he brought off the Maher-F'itz- simons fight, caused a,jstormy discussion at a meeting of the Exechtive committee hav- ing the fund in hand this afternoon. A number demanded their money back. The majority, /jhowever, considered Stuart had earned the $6,000, and it was not his fault the crowds did not come, so a paper signed by ten responsible citizens, holding the Executive Committee harmless for any suits that may be brought, was drawn up ane the money was handed over to Dan tuart. MORGAN WON EVERYTHING. . His Colors Were Successful at the New York Show. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—This was the last day of the Westminster Kennel Club’s dog show in progress at Madison Square Gar- den, © J. Pierpont Morgan is one of the very successful exhibitors, having secured two challenge prizes, six firsts, two seconds two thirds, one fourth and four special prizes. His exhibit was twelve collies and one old-fashioned shepherd dog. The show did not cloge until to-night, when many of the exhibits were shipped to Boston ready for exhibition there and to compete against a strong collection of New England dogs. ‘“*‘Moses,”’ a Japanese spaniel, was bought by Mrs: Kellogg for $600. Miss Anabel Green, the lady who was presented two challenge cups in the spaniel élass, bought two field spaniels, ‘“‘Zulu’”’ and “Darkest. Africa,”’ from the Wee-Wah Kennels, also ported field spaniel ‘“‘Wadsworth Sweep”’ from the same kennels. The latter beat ev- erything in England, but was only placed “H. C.” in the present show. Miss Green is confident that with careful manipulation he will become as great a prize winner here as abroad. Superintendent Mortimer makes a statc- ment regarding the disqualification of the bull terrier bitch “Merle Goddess”’ a win- ner in. class 4. A protest was made against her on ‘the ground that she was deaf, and an exaniin- ation by Dr. Grover sustained the Jro- test.” The owner who resides in England is reptesented heré by a Mr. Toon ~ ho. claimed the privilege of having her exdin- ined by anothe veterinarian, which was al? lowed. has been protested in | | | | England on similar grounds, but the pro- test was not sustained there. Dreull, the veterinarian to the English Kennel Club, having pronounced her only coy deaf, and since that protest was odged she has won niimefous prizes in England. This is the first appearance here and the owner can appeal from the de- cision of the Westminster Kennel Club to the American Kenne! Club, when final dis- position of the case must be made, LOWERED THE’ RECORD. A San Francisco Road Mark Reduced by Charley Wells. SAN FRANCISCO,’ Feb. 22.—The annual twenty-five-mile roafi race of the Califor- nia Associated Cycling Clubs took place to- day over the San ‘“eandro triangle. Thou- sands of wheelmen from this aff adjoining citiés asembled to Withess the event, which protnised to be a record-breaking affair, as such men as Charley Wells, J. E. Edwards, Frank Bryne and Floyd McFarland were at*the post of honorthe scratch mark. Wells, who had just returned from Cor- onado, was not in the best of condition for record breaking, but he showed his su- periority over his fellow scratch men and won the first prize in the fast time of ih. lim. 50 2-5s.. with comparative ease, lower- ing the recerd about two seconds. The race was won by Harry Noonan, a dark horse from Santa Rosa, who started from the limit mark. ’ The race was replete gith accidents, but no one was seriously hurt. The scratch men were heavily handicapped, and at no me had they any chance of winning place, prizes. - ; Maher and Fitz.

RUBEY. Mr. Rubey makeg the following statement in connection with the correspondence: “The people must be posted on this point. The gold bugs are now demanding that they be allowed, say, two or three delegates. This* means to put. Francis into the con- vention, with Cobb or others, which means a divided voice for Missouri.” THE MONEY ISSUE As It Appears to an Unostentatious Citizen of the State of Texas. To the Editor of The Post-Dispatch. In the mind of the writer the time for straddling issues is nearing its end. The people are tired of vague and unmeaning platforms and demand” a. change. Plat- forms must mean something miore than a bid for votes. The party lash is fast losing its power, and the party that seeks to catch or control vctes by keeping issues in the background is going to get left. When Mr. Cleveland was elected President the first time hwo selected able men for his Cebinet.and gave the ge! a very good Administration. To —! the least, it was conservative. But, really, Mr. Cleveland’s fifst term was not a time to test a man’s strength; even ordinary ability assisted, by wise counsel] can manage affairs when there are no serious complications, but it takes wisdom, both in the selection of counsel and in the exercise of one’s own executive bility.to pull through a crisis. Has Mr Cleveland displayed-~ extraordi- mary ability in elther? I think not. When he was put in nomination in ’92 it was over the protest of nearly all the leading men in the Democratic party. They felt that it was a mistake and opposed his nomination, and the wiscom of this. opposition is evi- denced in his total disregard at present for the policies cutlined in his former ad- ministration, one of which was his civil service reform, in which he declared that those holding Federal office should take no active part politics, whereas in the pres- ent administration he has never failed, if he could not go himself to send a hand to the different States which bid fair to re- pudiate h‘s gold-standard notions if left to themselves. But by sOme unseen power he did get the nomination and the people, tired of pub- Hean extravagance, rallied to hig support and elected him. Then what was he\to do? Go among those who opposed him for coun- sel and for men to compose h:‘s cabinet, or go among those who supported him? He chose the latter and the result. was a Re- publican for the highest office within his gift and that too in a capacity in which he had had no training...

Special to The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—A remarkable sur- gical operation was performed last night on Michael Connor at Bellevue. Hospital Connor was admitted on Feb. 15, suffer ing from what was thought to be an ab scess of the neck. The patient was again examined yesterday, when it was found that he was suffering from anthrax, a disease rarely found in human beings. Patients suffering from this disease have been sel- dom: seen at. the hospital. The doctors deemed an operation necessary. Accord- ingly. the) man was placed under the influ- ence of @ther, and, cutting deep into the | flesh, they found that the spleen was great- ly. enlarged and filled with bacteria. The disease is of general occurrence among ‘cattle and can be, transferred by inocula- ‘tion to human , but.the doctors were unable to how CGonfor contracted it.

Some persons might think that the world was com- ing to an end, but good advice for them is: Keep your jewelry and property, don’t part with anything, you will need it after the show. The owners of tall bujldings need have no fear if the comet should be head- ing to come down on the concrete roofs. Though the comet may be as big or big- ger than the-earth, and if its speed should increase to ten million miles a. day No one need worry, the astronomers say. Every one may not know it, but in 1 I; it is ascertained, a: comet a great dea larger than this one, and traveling a great deal faster, swished its long tail clear around us, but it didn’t do us a bit of harm; Garrett P. Serviss, the: astronomer, talked with a reporter about the possibilities of a collision. - 3 . “T haven’t seen this comet as ye said he, “and all I know of it is' what have read in the papers.° I judge it is a\small aco Tea | “How small? “Well, about as large as the earth. °That would not be large for a comet. It prob- ably is not coming toward us, and/if it is there is no possibility of its hitting us. We are traveling nineteen miles a second, and by March 14, the day t riving, we shall be millions of miles from where we are now. To hit us ft must be traveling toward the spot about 40,- 000,000 of miles from here, where we shall be on that date. Whether or not the calculations that have been made about the present position of the comet, its velocity and its course are exact de- ends on whether the observations have Coan good. It is not likely ‘that they are exact, for a comet is a hasty body, and it is difficult to get good observations. If it was a point Hke a star it could. be told with; certainty just where it would be at a certain minute, but it is difficult to tell exactly what the comet is doing. You re- member, in 1892, it was thought for some days that a comet was going to hit us, and then it was discovered that comet was going away from us instead of coming toward us.”’ 7 “Well, assuming that this comet is cor- rectly observed and will hit us on March 14, what will happen?” “Well. there would be a fine display of fireworks.”’ “But what would become of us?” We. be.out looking at the “And that’s all the damage a body as ‘‘That’s all the damage it would do. A eomet, you know, is not a solid body like the earth. It is made up of minute bodies. We might compare it with a dust cloud. While in size it compares with the earth, there is no comparison in the solidity of the two. S8o far as we have been able to learn there are no large particles of matter in a comet. They are made up of atoms of dust of iron, nickel or some other metal. Our atmosphere is practically impervious to such a body. Seventy miles above the earth, where the atmosphere is so rare that the vacuum is al#host as good as_that of a Crookes tube, there is still enough resist- ance to destroy a body like a comet travel- ing with the rate that4& comet travels. The particles would become no larger than the ultimate atoms of matter. They would ul-, timately reach the earth.”’ “Tf a body as large as the earth Is disin- tegrated, and falling spreads over the face of the earth, wouldn’t the dust be pretty: deep when it had settled?” “Don’t you see that while in space -it occupies the space of the earth and in that sense is as big, it is not packed solid like the earth. Take ordinary dust, for example, if a cloud of it covers a mile of space, if. all the particles were compressed into the fr smallest space it would occupy very little room. If a comet was made of solid mat-: ter the result, would be different. The heat generated by the contact with the atmos- phere. would be sufficiént to melt things. For instance a hundred-ton piece of iron might burn a hole ‘as big as the State of New York. Under the tremendous heat the earth and stone in the immediate neighbor- hood would be vaporized immediately. But there are no large particles of matter in the. make-up of acomet. There is just one poss- ibility of unpleasantness in a comet-hitting the earth, that is the subsequent effects on the atmosphere. It would seem likely that the atmosphere would be filled with gaseous matter, and if the comet was a-large one, made up in part of gases, as they are, it might intrdduce a matter into the atmos- phere that would be deleterious to health, It might give us the grip or. some other disease.”’ The. reporter asked how comets were made or where they came from. ‘Mr. Ser- viss said: “Some say that they consist of what was left over after the creation. After the uni- verse, comprising the spn, the world, the stars and all else was! made, there was some material left, these people say. Com- ets are entirely independent of the solar system.”’ . Speaking of comets that had struck or come near the earth, Mr. Serviss told of the comet of 1861 which swished us with.its tail. The skies were illuminated at night, but there were no other known effects. In 1882 he said a comet is supposed to have grazed us, but no effects were known. It is sup- posed that a plece of Biela’s comet struck us, too, It was a large comet. It disappeared in 1840 and was lost for a long time. Then it came back in two pieces. These kep*? getting further and further apart. In 1872 they dis- appeared. There was a brilliant meteoric display. “Suppose this comet strikes us, how long will the display last? asked the reporter. “That will depend. It might last two hours. It might last all night. Suppose it is as big as the earth. The earth travels nine- teen miles a second, It might last while the earth was oraveling eight thousand miles.” “Astronomers are anxious that it should strike us.”’ . ° “They are,” said Mr. Serviss. ‘It will be a great display. The possibility of increasing our knowledge is great.’’ “Would they all crowd to the observato- S * *‘Observatories would be of no use on tha’ occasion. The place to see it would be out- tide unobstructed.”’ “Of course it would strike but one side of the earth.’’ ° “We can’t tell which hemisphere it might strike. When we know’ exactly the time i» will strike, if it should strike, then We can tell where it will strike, that is, which side of the earth is opposed ‘to it.” / EARTH IN NO DANGER.

Now,in the Service of the Pest-Office With Limited Duties. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22.—Under the new postal appropriation bill: the secret in- spection of jetter carriers by special agents will be stopped. The bill provides instead that there shall be thirty additional post- office inspectors who shall be assigned to the free delivery service exclusively. While these men will be nominally under the authority of the Fourth Assistant Post- master-General, they will be subject to the orders of the First Assistant and the Super- iftendent of, the free delivery service. ey will devote their time exclusivly to inspect- fons of the free delivery service and will pursue the same methods pursued by the Special agents, First Assistant Postmaster-General Jones, who originated the inspection by special agents, is satisfied with the new provision, and says it will complish exactly the Same results as the system now jin vogue. The fifty special agents are still in the service and are watching letter carriers in several Southern cities at the present time. They will remain special agents until next July, when the bill now before Congress will become effective. Then they will be transferred to the inspection department as stoffice inspectors, and will report to the ourth Assistant Postmaster-General, who will assign them to the same duties they now follow. SHE WASN'T SCAKED. When This Woman’s Purse Was Snatched She Whipped the Thief. A woman's nerve, and her strong right hand, were used to good effect on a young pocketbook snatcher about 5:20 yesterday afternoon. The episode occurred just in front of the Post-Dispatch office. Olive street was crowded with afternoon shoppers and matinee g turday ls, and utes. Louis Rose, 1525 Carr street, was the enter- prising purse-snatcher. He grabbed the purse and was just putting it in his pocket when the owner grabbed him. She held him by the left hand, and with her open right she smacked his face. several resounding smacks, “just like mother used to give.”’ She held him until Officer McMullen came alohe and turned him over *to the The yotingster pit up a great fight with the officer, who had his’ hands full trying to hold him. ea ; The crowd increased every second until several hundred people had gathered. The amusement the episode furnished was in- tensified, when another big policeman came to the assistance of McMullen in subduing one refractory small boy. The lady recovered her purse and left, refusing to give her name and declining to prosecute. CONFEDERATE WHITE HOUSE. Jeff Davis’ Mansion at Richmond Opened as a Museum. Specis! to The Post-Dispateh.

The house is situated at the corner*of Clay and Twelfth streets and is one of the oldest and hand- somest dwellings in the city. It was built by’ Judge Brockenbrough, who furnished it; sumptuously. It is a vast, roomy building, palatial in proportions, though classically simple in design. It is three stories high, with a basement of brick, and stuecoed. Its flat roof is surmounted by a cupola.

RICHES OF CRIPPLE CREEK.. eee Judge McCart, Lafe Pence and Portland’ Jimmy Deyle Talk of the Land of Silver and Gold. — te. —_ Special to The Post-Dispatcn. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—The Colorado min- ing delegation that came here some days ago to help open the Mining Exchange was banqueted at the Metropole by the Exchange, Colorado was boss from start to finish and Colorado men did most of the talking. Col. R. A. Ammon was marshal and sat.at the head of the ‘able: Ex-Congressman Lafe Pence was one of the distinguished guests alongside of him. Portland Jimmy Doyle, Erwin Mann and Judges McCann and Dean and about 100 others sat at the tables. The menu cards were printed in French and were promptly discarded. hen the soup came on Mr? Ammon introduced Judge McCart, who declared that he came from a camp that had*changed beef to bullion. Then he told the sto of Cripple eek. Judge McCart talked through ‘entreeb and then Judge pay was introduced. Hé comes from Aspen, olo e@ are not suppliants,” he said, “and we don’t beg you to take our property off our hands or to lend us Money. We have got resources of our own to develop it. If you go to Cripple Creek with your pockets full of money you can’t dictate terms with the poorest miner. If you want the commodity you pay his price or get out.” He .talked to the end of the dinner. Then Mr. Ammon got up and announced: “I am going to call on one of the boys now. You don't, any of you, want to be introduced to Portland Jimmy. It ain’t necessary for me to say anything*about the pay dirt of that mine. Jimmy can speak without my help. “Jimmy and I want to say right here that I didn’t check my gun, and the first One that interrupts I am going to chuck it at them.” Mr. Doyle, a short man, with black hair | and mustache, and a determined look, re- sponded; and wild cheers went up from the crowd. “I am no talker, I am a worker. We used to be a silver State out in Colo- rado, but we found that ‘you folks wanted gold, so we dug some for you, and it’s there. Out’in my camp we produced two millions last year, and when we get the facilities for carrying’ it that are on the way now, you will see that we have bronght back the old days: of ’49.

It was to Colorado, and was drunk with a gusto, Then the Colonel announced the next speaker like this: “Judge McCart: just let up talking to your best girl a minute and we wil hear what. Lafe Pence, God: bless him, has to say. No offense, but there is too much talking going on outside the speakers,”’ Pence said, “I have forgotten’ all the funny things I was going to say. First I Want to say that whoever it is in this establishment that cut the Roquefort cheese served here in the shape of a piece of pie ought to be discharged on the spot. We may come from the West and be fair game but cutting cheese to make it look like pumpkin pie is one too many. One of my friends sitting next to me swears he will never Gat another piece of pie, I have had to hold him from going after the man that made it. I have got no stoek to sell, but I want to tell the Eastern people some; things. When you buy a railroad you get a prac- tical railroad man to run it. When you atart a bank you get the most experienced banker to operate it. Now what Bo you do when you, go into a mining enterprise?’ “Don’t roast them,” gaid a voice in the room. 7 “Will you keep still, T have the floor-now. What do you do? Why the first thing you do is to go to the Hst of your relatives and go through it, and pick out a broken down dugle nephew, who has been expelled from society, and send him out West as}: superintendent of the mine, and you: look for dividends and kick. If he ever sees the stable property at all he goes to.a tgs A e over and wants a pedigreed horse to a Colorado mountain.” The crowd howled with delight: Mr. Pence went on to say that the object of establishing the exchange was to bring the capitalist into touch with the miners. he fun was continued till long after midnight. eee —_—— THE CURFEW WOMAN.

Judging by the pres : ’ he cyclists hardly a week will go by that ‘Beome important event dees tet take place. FA precedent has been established to have mathe first big event occur on the first Sunday mn April. The date falls on April 5 and the nnual spring St. Louis County tour will aioubtless be held on that day with Clayten aes the objective point. This is about the only place in the county which has the ecessary accommodations ‘to properly en- ertain the 600 odd men who are expected to. e t. gl the annual pilgrimage to the fine gravel roads of Pike County has been a fixture for’ May, and May 10 will probably be selected as the date. Itsis also possibie amthat a steamer will be c tered to carry the St. Louis delegation up to Louisiana nd return. This will, of course, depend on Lihe attendance of at least 200 men. 4 The classic Forest Park road‘ race Will ‘doubtless be again run off on Saturday, “June 6, and St, Louis’ cycling derby will be va bigger event than any of its five predecés- ors. The race has become well known all ver the United States as one of the most mportant road events of the country. On the day following the road race the Aisual union De Soto run will be oh the “card to give the visitors an opportunity to Stry conclusions with the big hills which ave also achieved a national reputation. It will doubtless be pleasing news to all "Ty... A. W. members to know that July 4 falls ‘on a Saturday this year and the ninth an- sual State meet will therefore extend over ‘three days, namely, July 3,4 and5. The “place has not yet been decided upon, but will be a special order of business at the quarterly meeting of the Missouri division officers on March 5. - Last year the first daylight parade was held on August 3, and a moonlight run fol- lowed to Bartold’s Grove. Many requests have been made to repeat this affair and to “comply with the request action will have ‘to be taken to bring off this event on Satur- day, July 24, to take advantage of the moon- light. . The dazzling diamond tournament of 1895 is yet fresh in the minds of many_cf the cyclists.

Murphy,. @ quict work was being done to have the der ency exercised towards “Dute” Cabanne, and all was in-a fair way of stecess until last Friday afternoon, when this man who is practically blacklisted for a year, had the effrontery to first ridicule the board’s action and afterwards heap ‘abuse upon the division officials, who cautioned him. to be quiet, but it did no good. Cabanne’s mouth went off*at a great rate, with the effect that the officers have agreed not to intereede for him and iet matters take their course. Abuse, misrepresentation and threats do not go with the Missouri officials. From the very start of the trouble D. W. Rabert, the local member of the Racing Board, was the areas for criticism and villifying abuse, and to his credit be it said that he not only failed to notice it, but was among the first to suggest taking steps to ask for Cabanne’s reinstatement. PAY FOR THEMSELVES. Simple Arithmetic Applied to the Good Roads Problem—Startling Figures. According to statistics collected by the office or road inquiry of the Department of Agricu}ture, the amount of loss each year by bad roads of the country is almost be- youd relief. Some 10,000 letters of inquiry were sent to intelligen* and reliable farmers throughout the country, and returns were obtained fyom about 1,200 counties, giving the average length of haul in miles from farms to markets and shipping points, the average weight of load hauled, and the av- erage length per ton for the whole length of haul. Summarized it appears that the gen- eral average length of haul is twelve miles, the weight of load for two horses 2,002 pounds, and the avefage cost per ton per mile 25 cents or $3 for the entire load. Allowing conservative estimates for *on- nage of all kinds earried over public roads the aggregate expense of this transportation is figured at $946,414,600 per annum. Those in & position to judge calculate that two-thirds of this, or nearly $631,000,000 could be saved if the roads were in reasonably good condi- “ion, At $4,000 per mile a very good road can be constructed, and if an amount equaling the savings of one year. Were applied to improving highways, 157,000 miles of road in this country could be put in eondition. The effect of this would be a permanent im- provement; and not only would the farmer be astontshed at the sudden reduction in his ; wmia-. freely from the committee when. in, The Division Officers Are Disgusted Eiver since the action of the Racing Board clem- | ¥ to England.

A gentlieman’s wheel, silver-mounted but not so costly as the one mentioned -above, was finished by Tiffany & Co. on last Christmas, It was sold for §500, and was among the exhibits at the recent bicycle show. Neither this firm nor. any other has made ahy karat gold wheels studded with precious stones, as has been reported, but it is be- lieved that the prevalent craze Will eventu- ally lead to the manufacture of bicycles of that kind. ‘SINGLE TUBE TIRES. They Can Be Quickly and Perfectly Repaired by Novices. Possibly among the Many new riders that are daily taking up bicycling, there are a good many who have not a thorough knowl- edge, or even a fair idea, of the good points of tires. The chief merits of pneumatic tires are durability, simplicity, resiliency and ease of repair in event of puncture. This lat- ver advantage is noticeable in the single tuba tire, which can be quickly and per- fectly repaired by a novice. There is nothing MOST COSTLY OF BICYoLEs. | Sold for $850, and Is Now on the Way f that foreigners, when they | fg really fine, come to the ‘United States for it, is demodristrated by the LATEST TIRE PUMP.

You turn the handle and the tires fill up. As will be seen by the cut, the ert gon is fastened to the forks and one hand only is used in operating it. It is as powerful as a foot pump, and at the same time so stall that it can be car- Tied without inconvenience in the vest pocket. The leverage obtained by use of the crank is such that five pounds,of physical effort will produce eighty pounds of air pressure in the tire. Hvery revolution made with the crank, no matter how slow, will force the full.air capacity of the pump into the tire, as every stroke is positive in its operation. Sram © For the Rich and Poor.

ORDINANCE. Real Estate Men Active in Urging Its Passage. The committee recently appointed by the Real Estate Exchange to secure the erec- tion of street. signs will use all the influence possible to have the pending ordinance passed. The ordinance has got through the Council and came up Friday night in the House of Delegates, and was laid over for the second time by a vote of 12 to 11, five members being absent. It is thought the delay is caused by the desire on the part of members to see if the plan can be carried through of arrang- ing with parties who desire to put up signs on their property without cost to the city, to also for pSvertining purposes. This plan has been defeated once. The m of the Real Estate Ex- change Committee are: Lilburn G. McNair, airman; Monroe R. Colliné, John R.

CHIRF SWINGLEY INDIGNANT, After the Mas Who ? Failed to Give thei T Firemen’s Entertainment. Chief Swingley of the Fire Department Friday night requested the police to arrést one H. Millard for fraud. Millard, who claimed to be an actor, came‘ to Chief Swingley shortly after the Aloé disaster and requested his permission and assistance in getting up an entertainment for the benefit of the qund for the families of the firemen who werdkilled in the Aloe fire. He stated that he could secure the Exposi- tion Entertainment Hall for $60 and that he could get the’talent for the programme which he proposed to give free of charge. Millard gave as references Ollie Hagan of the Hagan Theater and John I. Martin, and stated that Mr, Martin had promised to de- liver an addréss at the opening of the ~~ tertainment. On these representations and in view of the references given, Chief Swingley gave Millard letters of introduction to-the news- papers. He stated that he expected no compensation. for his own services. ‘The date of the entertainment was set for Feb- ruary 19. The remainder of the story was told by Chief Swingley to a Post-Dispatch re- porter. “I had confidence in ithe fellow until he telephoned to me on Feb, 17 that the enter- i ‘fainment had been postponed because the hall could: not be secured. I had not séen him since his first visit. P know that he sold tickets ‘to a number merchants at & cents each, and that @., lected from some of them.

He came ‘into the Chief’s office soon after. He is a smooti®faced man, about 30 years old, and had the appearance of an actor in hard luck.

There is no telling, however, what surprise may be sprung upon the trade by Chicago and New York in their reports On ees in their stocks. Last Monday Chicago’s stock de- creased nearly 400,000 bushels, whate the shipments and receipts for the week indi- cated nowhere near such a decrease, where- as, for this past week, they do indicate, a large decrease. Nor do receipts and ship- ments at the seaboard markets indicate more than the -900,000 bushels decrease in supplies, which New York claims her own stock alone will show. The visible changes are as hard to guess as the market. -_ ia . The largest decrease in the local stock of wheat seen in some time occurred this: past woek, the total of 1,284,000 bu on hand Friday being 88,000 bu smaller than the preceding Saturday. The stock of No. 2 red is now re- duced to the very small amount of 28,000 bu, where 3,738,000 bu was on hand a year ago, and of No, 2 hard winter is now 920,000 bu. Receipts for week were considerably smaller than the Week before, as 109,000 bu, compared with 139,000 bu. Most t of the receipts con- ’ tinued to be red winter, 70 per cent of the in- spections being of that grade, and only 7 cars hard winter and il cars being inspected. An increase in rectipts ‘a corn at West ern ma&arketS was Been last week, for th® six days ending Fridey they amounting to 2,055,000 bu, which exceeded the preced- ing week by nearly 700,000 bu. and the cor- responding week tast year by 660,000 bu. There was nothing of special interest in the speculative market, if is excepted the fact that a “ht firm . feeling prevailed even when w t was right weak. For some reason considerable bull sentiment has an aroused of late and there has been fairly good buyitig with not much for sa’%e.° Outside this sentiment there ‘s nothing really bullish in sight. The latest bids of 27%c for May. and 28%c for July were about the sdme as. the preceding Sat- Uuliay. * > - . The receipts of Oats the past week at Western markets were 1,768,000 bu, which were about "the same as the week before, which was a full week, whereas the past was not, and }: exteeded the’ same week last year by 311,009 bu.; The visible ‘sup- ply of 7,062, 00 bu is now larger than a year ago, 't having finally caught up with and passed supplies in 18%. Speculation has been tame, but as in the case of corn, the fecling has been rather frierdlicr towards the long side. This has not led to higher Prices, as 20%c for May was the laiest price and that was %e below the preceding Sat- ur day. 7 * * In flour there has been a fair domestic trade and there was also some éxport busi- ness, a decline in ocean freights aliowing some orders to be filled, She total aggregat- ing probably 10,000 sacks. Millers did not feel altogether encouraged, however, as there was little profit in such salés as they made, Yesterday one miller reccived and filled or- ders for eight cars flour, one from the East, two from the Southeast and five fromthe Sotithwest. This, he seid, was he largest day’s businéss tre Has had fm several weeks. Some little encottragement is felt over the fact that m{l's in the South, notably tn Tex- ac, are closing down, owing to thelr inkbil-. ity to obtain wheat at & pricé shat would ailow to sell thelr flour and at least get out even. This closing down of thése miflis will tend, to send more orders to St. Louis. Supplies Of flour in the South are sald to be unuauaily small and the demand fromi *hat section is very I: kely to enlarge at any time. This past week's output of mifls, the prod- uc ct of which is sold [n St. Bouts’, was: Keh- * Broa., 11,000 bEls: 9,000; George P, Plant Mil Co., 6,000; Louis.

At this time it appears as if there would. be no distressing contraction and rates are diready easier in all the 4i- visions of.the mohey market. This is appar- ently due: both to the non- eg ty by the Treasury of all the money paid in against the loan and also to the preparations mak- ing weeks ahead in anticipation of the issue. The fact that so much monéy could be taken from the circulating medium of the country without producing any greater contraction than it has done is a dirett Segue el ig the increased confidence ro eet A to. Besides the more favorable Bo. vsptin'g out- look has restlted in a certain restoration of foreign credits here, and With a continuation of the friendly international feeling it seems probable that the attractive rates still pre- vailing in our money markets may result in a rush of funds here from abroad, as well as in a revival of the investment demand from. Europe. _ The developments in the situation which may bé expected to offset more or less the favorable influences noted appear to be the immediate upshot of. the foreign ex- change market and after that the promi- nence which the silver question may obtain in the forthcoming presidential campaign. The known financial policy of the candi- dates of the two great parties will probably also be a factor of no Hittle influence, Al- though, as stated, the question is not yet an immediate ene, at the same time in any attempt to forecast the situation, it is one to reckoned with. It-is likely, too, that the approaching campaign will have a re- straining influence on general trade, or at least that has generally been its effect. oom ig to be regretted, since at thie time there are evidences that some improve- t is taking place in business, and while hot mruch headway was to be looked for until something is known in regard to the spring crops, trade has been restricted long enough already to have cut largely into the excessive*supplies which resulted from the Manufacturing activity of last spring and summer. Thus the Way was open for another period of activity and it is to be none ann a ner at Rie Ngee by the e ent o e political campa nor injured by a failure in the crops. _— Foreign Finances.

Why should home-seekers be forced to the outskirts when there are hundreds of g00d vacant acres in the city? Do fot the many vacant Iots increase the cost of roads, oowrers and other serv- ices to‘ reach people who have begn forced to the outskirts? Why not seek- our taxes (public revénue) where the spéculator’ gathers his‘ riches— namely, from land values. Public improvements add nothing to the value of houses, goods or labor. Then why should these things be. taxed to pay for public improvements? Public improvements do raise the values of the land. Thén should not values of land pay for public improvements? f taxing whisky makes whisky harder to get, Is not the effect of taxing houses and goods the same?

Land is the only thing which is cheaper and easier to get when it is taxed heavily, and land is the source of our living. Why should the man who uses land bene- ficially be taxed more than the man who holds it idle? . Increased population requires increased taxation. Increased population causes in- creased land values. Is not the increased land value in every way suited to satisfy the increased demand for taxes? Then why not reduce taxation on buildings and increase it on land values? How to Lift the Farmer’s Burdens. The Rev. Jesse C. Taylor of Lewes, Del., writing to the Wilmington Justice, among other things calculated to open the farmers’ eyes as to the inconsistency of the old party bosses in their attempts to them in darkness on the single tax, closed his letter as follows: “Tt is certain that farmers have n and are now the greatest sufferers from the resent system of taxation, and it is, per- aps, easy to scare them by a hint that any roposed plan means harm to them.

And the Czar’s Legions Will Fight the Amiable Cyrus in His Guberna- torial Canvass. His honor, the Mayor, who has a —— large and very beautiful hive of gubernator ial bees buzzing in his $8 bonnet, finds x | that he has the combined forces of Czar Ziegenhein opposed to him: The cause of it all is the announcement of Health Commissioner Starkloff that he will be a candidate for the namination for Mayor when the time comes. The mument the Starkloff pronun ‘lamente was issued the followers of the Czar be- stirred themselves. They were curious to know just what it meant, and after looking at the matter from all sides they became convinced fn their minds that. it was a move or the Walbridge crowd to head off the Zeigenhein boom. ¢They reasoned that the Health Commissioner as a bosongp friend and appointee of Walbridge would not come to the front at this time without first hav- ing consulted his honor, and they inferred that the latter had advised the move. The more they investigated the subject ‘the more strongly were ‘they convinced that they were right in their, conclusions. The Ziegenhein push look upon Starkloff’s candidacy as an absolute defiance, and re- gard it as an indication that the W abbridge administration machine will be used against them when the time comes to make the sca Seay ipal fight. or yarious reasons they regard Starkloff | a8 a dangerous man at this time. He is as German in his sympathies ag is the Czar. Both were born in St. Louls of German parents. Both have the major portion of their following in South St. Louis.

In view of thig the question is how to overcome this combination which threatens to disrupt plans which have been perfecting for a cotiple of years. Ziegenhein sees very clearly that there are breakers ahead and he is preparing to avoid them. As the matter stands ther® is just one way open to him, and that is to- fight back as hard as he can, There are only two things for him to do.

va — BIG. SEREVES ARE DOOMED 70 GO, - — Here’san Outline of the Coming Fashion. ie = The small sleeve is here. It has come straight from Paris an@ promises to be the most ‘striking feature of the new spring styles. Tailor-made gowns are already being displayed with the genuine coat sleeve, which-plainly outlines the shape of the arm. But it has not been without a struggle that the small sleeve has come to be the vogue again. This is the history of the big sleeve. In 1885 the tight sleeve was at the height of THE PASSINC OF THE BIG SLEEVE ee Ure gee It elung closely to the arm and ite glory. oe stion oO @ su ed ie 8 on was oe eee putt, which. 1m then arran a pu rated cases nearly touched the ear, E. ; BEARS PRG Tetol on.

They wore out more pairs of coat sleeves than can be counted; they doubled in prico } OUF modistes’ bille; they made one woman occupy two seats in public conveyances, though she continued to pay for but one. how the balloon sleeve is dead. Its death, like the advent of its predecessor, was gradual. The first indication of a change in the balloon puff was a hardly perceptible drooping at the shoulder. Then a layer or two of stiffening was left out. Soon the droop became apparent nd the ‘1830’ sleeye with the long shaulder seam was hed, This sleeve in many cases equalled the batloon in size, only the puff appeared somewhat lower down the arm. The next distinet change came when the sleeve clung closely to the arm at the shoulder and for a few inches below it, the pet not appearing until the elbow was reached, Some women, regarded as ec- centric, wore this sleeve while the balloon was still reigning. After the sleeve with the puff at the elbow, there appeared a creation tight-fitting to the elbow, flaring there in a ruffle and continuing nearly to the wrist, where it en in a bell cuff. the vogue during the spring and summer. The. sleeve next. in order is the plain old-time coat sleeve, which the new tallor- made gowns are showing. Not every woman will wear at first this small, tight-fitting and pertectiy plain coat sleeve. It will appear in many and varied designs.. One.of the new sleeves.for tailor | owns is really the coat sleeve a. trifie. arger than usual. The material fs put ‘in. the shoulder seam in small plafts; and cut so that the outside arm seam shows all the: way down the arm. This seam is then stitched or trimmed with a line of tiny buttons, or in some sleeves the seam is strapped with leather. The bell cuff will be high in favor and will appear not only on ¢loth, but silk and organdie gowns. This cuff is particularly eraceful and prety, especially “when the hand is slender. t may be mage to look like a well-shaped bell, or it may be slashed and trimmed with lace. There is no doubt that before summer ig over the gowns -|of all the sleeve fabrics will cling sary to the wearer’s arm from shoulder to wris But as yet the designs for the summer sleeve show a certain degree of fullness: Women who do not care to adopt the extremes in fashions will be devoted to the bishop sleeve which hangs in graceful fullness from shoulder to wrist. The new- est bishop sleeves are straller than ever before, and are made with a variety of different cuffs. The bishop sleeve is the sleeve of the coming summer shirt waist. ARTISTIC FURNISHINGS. . The newest candlestick stands four feet high. It is considered part of the quaint furnishings of an artistic room. For a delft room the candlestick is wood, enamelled white and Conerene’ in delft designs. Such a stick costs $10. In plain white it may be bought for $7. These candlesticks are so tall that they may stand on the floor as well as a table. “i It only needs a paves at the Yorkshire denims to class them‘among the artistic draperies of the season.

But the average dealer has ~ ¢other resources than those provided*by the . “odds of the game. Anyone who glances over *- =the pages of the catalegue of a dealer in 80- "called “sporting goods” will observe that faro boxes are of many Kinds, and that their price varies, not according to their material or ornamentation, but accarding to the degree and kind of unfairness of which they are capable. A square faro box can be bought from $5 to $15, while a “‘sand- tell” or ‘‘needle-tell’’ bex cannot be ob- tained for less than $25 to $100. As a matter of fact more dishonest boxes than square ones are sold. This gives some idea. of the odds against which the faro-player goes up. Roulette is a less distinctively American game than faro, but itis played here often. A roulette wheel is divided into thirty-eight compartments, thirty-six of which are num- bered from one to thirty-six inclusive, the other two being marked 0 (zero) and 0 (double zero), respectively. Eighteen of the numbered spaces are colored black, the other eighteen being red, while zero and double zero are both green, The player may bet on any number of the thirty-six or on the zeros, and if the ball lodges in that space he will receive thirty-five chips for every one he has staked. Or he may bet on = geler—red or black—receiving even money if the ba)] should roii into a compartment of the color that he has backed. In case gero or double zero turn up all bets on colors go to the dealer. It will readily be seen’ that, since there are thirty-eight compartments on the wheel, the odds against the ball lodging in any one of them are thirty-seven to one. But the bank only gives 35 to 1 In case you pick the right number. In other words, on long series of trials, the banker will take n thirty-eight chips for every thirty-six that he pays out, His advantage will, therefore, be two thirty-eighths or 5% per cent. As regards the colors the | case is about the same. Whether red or biack turns up the banker Plays out on one color, in the long run, ap- roximately what he takes in on the other. ut, on the average, zero or double, zero ce will turn up twice in thirty-eight turns of -—-—-~ « the wheel, and then the banker wins every- ee. thing that was staked on either color. oe The advantage here is therefore two-thirty- Bat: eighths or 5% per cent, the same as on the number bets. In addition to this advantage the wheel can be ‘“‘fixed.”’ As with faro boxes, so it is with roulette wheels. An unfair wheel costs much more, but the extra expense is a profitable investment, or at least the dis- honest dealer considers it. The game which, under the name of “‘red and black,’’ is dealt in most Americ lairs of the tiger must not be confounde rith the more European ‘rogue et noir.” In the American game, after shuffling and cut- ting the pack, two cards are dealt out, face down, and the third card is turned up. The color, suit and size of this third card determine the destination of the money pre- viously staked. Every third card is thus bet upon and turned up, until the pack has been run out, when a new shuffle and deal are necessary. ‘ This gives seventeen ‘urns to a deal, when only a single pack is in use. Com- monly; however, two or three packs are shufffed together and dealt from as de- scribed, in order to obviate the necessity of frequent shuffling and cutting. The num- beg of packs used in no way affects the odds of ghe game. : he player can bet upon either the suit, ze, color or denomination of the cards to ze turned up.

Ace, three, five, seven, nine jack are odd, while two, four, six, eight, ten and queen are even. In case the king ‘urns up the banker wins all bets on either odd or even. Or he may try to pick out the exact demnomination of the card, getting ten to one in case he is successful. It will be seen at once that, of the several ways of placing money, afforded by this game, some are subject to a higher percent- age for the bank than are the others. For example, a bet on either color or suit will encounter their percentage card—the jack— once in thirteen times, and then only half of the bets will be lost. In this cage the ad- vantage is 1-26, or nearly 4 per cent. In the case of odd or even, or hi or low, all of the bets are lost when the banker’s card turns up. Here the advantage is 1-13, or about 7% per cent. In picking out the de- nomination of the card the bank offers 10 to 1, while the true odds are l2tol. The ad- — is therefore 2-13, or about 15 per cent. Rouge et noir is not se commonly met with ere as are the three games above spoken of. It is a more complicated game to de- scribe and calculate than any of the others. The table is divided into two s aces, called rouge and noir respectively. he players may back either color, receiving even money -~&> <--~ Wi~s, The winning color is ‘ tecided in the following manner: The dealer lays down cards in the black compartment until the number of spots in it amounts to thirty-one or more, the common cards counting as numbered and the court cards as ten each. He then proceeds in the same manner with the red compartment. The color wins in whose compartment the num- ber of spots is nearest to thirty-one. In each case if the number of spots in each 8 e be the same the game is drawn, unless the tie be at thirty-one. + In case of a “refait trente et un," all es stakes must remein on the table and their - - @estination is decided by the result of the : next deal. Should black win on this next deal all money staked on black would be re- funded to the player without either increase or diminution, while al] that staked on red would go to the bank. It will be seen that in case a “refait trente et un” does occur the player has no possible chance of win- ning. All that the redeal decides is whether the player gets back his money: without in- crease or whether he loses it entirely. . gallows, Almost as queer is the case Marion El- more of Chicago. Marion is a young woman of 19 and is employed as a saleswoman in a dry goods store. No one ever suspécted that there was anything wrong with her heart until the other day, when she under- went an examination by the medical ex- aminer of a life inaurance company. The medical man found that Marion had her born with a proper enough heart, but it ha radually worked its way over from the eft to the right side, being located now, close to the ribs, in the place where the liver ought to be. ; Miss Hattie Benedict has a héart that for months past has been in state of transit moving from its normal position toward the right side and up and down and back again. Miss Benedict lives in re ayne County, this State. Four mon ago she fell into a trance that lasted until last Monday, when she prac lly 1 consciousness.

Just Back From Switzerland, With “An Army Wife” in Manuscript. A Gallant. Retired Officer, W hose Military Stoat Phe ries Have Brought Him Fame. His Latest Work, to Appear in the Sunday ince patch, Is Founded on Fact. *- — Special Correspondence Sunday Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—When Capt. Charles King, author of “An Army Wife,” which is to. be begun in the, Sunday. Post-Dispatch of March 1, and many ether charming stories, stepped from the gangway of the Teutonic this morning and grasped the out- etretched hand of the Sunday Post-Dispatch correspondent, he expressed his surprise. “Why,” said he, “I had ho idea that, the very first thing I would strike in New York would be’an interviewer! Not that. have any objections, but—well, I simply didn’t expect’”’*— His eyes rested on the lapel of the interviewer’s coat a second. Then he unbottoned his overcoat briskly and held up the lapel of his own cutaway English tweed, a small check pattern it was, by the way, which held a Loyal Legion button. “These belong to the same family!” said he. “That’s all right! Just excuge me a minute, till I get these things all right.” “These things’’ were the two trunks, box and a valise awaiting the customs offi- cials, and the ulster and bundle of canes and umbrella, held by “George,” a cabin- boy from the steamer, who was caring for them with a solicitude born’ of acquaintance with and respect for their owner. (Not an- other passenger received from an attendant as hearty and regretful attentions as were bestowed by “George” on the sturdy Amer- ican who owned that baggage.) It took some time to find an appraiser who had the leisuré to attend to the Cap- tain, but one came .along and. the trunks were opened and a ‘couple of small boxes containing Swiss clocks and a, half- dozen shawls or scarfs er something similar in the line of dry goods, were examined and their value fixed. Then, up to the desk to pay the duty which Uncle Sam insists on collecting when™travelers gratify a taste for bric-a-brac, a few words with the agent for the. carriages, and the Captain was ready to’ give the order to pile the baggage On a@ truck and wheel.it to the. street entrance of the great White: Star line dock, away from the Babel made by the hundreds of passengers from saloon, second cabin and steeragt, all clamoring at once in their anxiety to get through and out and away from the big boat that had carried them from Liverpool and Queen hown. The Captain is an old traveler and had no false motions.to go through: His compact figure bustied about and his alert face beamed with the pleasurable excitement of a home-~coming. . He is of medium height, weighing in the neighbor of 19 pounds —just enough to give one the impression of comfortable prosperity and not overfeeding. His eyes are gray and keen.” He looks one over with deliberative scrutiny that is a search for information, not a supercilious glance, and you know he has taken a fairly accurate measure of you and put it away for future reference: His hair is closely cut and light brown, that will be gray very soon. His face was smooth ven, save for a light, brown mustache. The. nose is aquiline and the mouth mobile; but e firm and well shaped. A life tn the has Eve the air of decision and the’ of command that is naturally expected, the. van is kindly. You know you cou 4 be friends with its owner—but you t expect to “monkey” with him a single minute.

Then he pointed out the old Van Buren homestead, acroas the street, now somewhat shabb and sadly out of place among the marts of trade that surround it on all sides, and called attention to one or two other well-remembered land- markd familia enough to thougands of New York shoppers.

Still another staff officer, Lieut. Rucker, was engaged to Miss Dixie Thaw, but the engagement came to a sad termination. The young officer be- came insane not long before the date set for the wedding and was sent to an asylum, where he still remains.

This system of keys is founded on the same twelve semitones of the chromatic scale that we employ; aad furthermore, the Chinese have the same method of illustrating the relationship of the circle of keys that we find in European musical works. Thus they proceed from One tone to the fifth above or fifth below, until. the entire circuit is made and the “But strange as it may seem the have allowed themselves to be¢ome cramp- ed within very narrow limitations through their devotion to symbolism.

These speculations have Into disuse.”’ Here is a pen sketch of a famous cen- not please his admirers: Brahms is a very bashful man. awkward on the stage and dislikes bein recalled after playing or conducting, say the New York Evening Post. He is fond of children, and on his walks often stops to talk to them or give them a present; otherwise he is not sympathetic or sociable, and he never writes letters. He has never been married, although it is said that some wealthy Viennese women have set. their caps at him. His knowledge of musical scores Of all epochs is most extensive, He is also fond of books, especially historical works, but does not care much for fiction, His favorite opera is “Carmen,” Hanslick says in his recent memoirs that Brahms knows Wagner's scores thoroughly, but that he has probably heard the aperas onl once. He admits Wagner’s brilliant quali- ties without being a Wagnerite, The fact ts he dislikes operas on principle. He gays that Brahms when he goes with him to the opera generally leaves after the first act, no matter what is being sung. This in- sensibility to dramatic music, combined with his lack of cordiality towards his friends, throws a good deal of light on the dry unemotienal, cold atmosphere of his music. n society he is very unceremonious. There is a story that once at a soiree he took leave of the guests with the words: “I beg pardon if perchance I have offended no- y to-day.” The seventeenth Sunday popular concert will be given this afternopn under the direc- tion of Mr. Ernst, assisted ‘by Miss Loulse Froelich, soprano, late of -the S*uttgart Royal Opera, who is a charming singer, and the well-known tenor, Mr. Otto Hein, who will appear in duets. The programme is very bright and attractive and it ts hoped the public will show their interest in this and the remaining three concer‘s, the attendance last Sunday being the largest except one at any time during the series. The following is the programme: Orchéstra. sym- .+- Schubert Orchestra.

REMEMBER, OLIVE and was abandoned as a bad job before he had really begun. Only less prominent than his secretive- ness 1s the tense brusqueness with which J. Pierpont Morgan treats the rest of man- kind. A soreheaded bear is polifeness it- self to Morgan at times. At school he was a shy, tank boy, with no associatesy and who was hard to draw out. He grew up that sort of man, one with no use for his fellow- man except as he can miake money out of him. He has no intimate friends as such things among men. He likes dogs and a yacht, cause the first are not men and the second can take him a from men. Naturally, despising men, he looked up to by most*of them. Brokers who, in the ard times of the last three years, are ucky if they make enough in a week to get ene champagne supper to the dozen that they formerly were able to indulge in during that time, as they watch him ss in the street after one of his coups that netted him a million or two, are wont to follow him with an eager and ws eye and to ejacu- late, “Oh, if I were only Pilerpont Morgan!” and go down to the nearest cafe and try to drown the memory of his appearance in drink. When, just after the Venezuelan message went to Congress an@ played smash ence of Mr. Morgan they met such a re- ception as effectually settled the question of a reappearance, unless under the direst necessity. One man, himself known as a “magnate,’’ declared it was as much as his life was worth, almost, to speak to Morgan the second time and he got only monosyila- bic growls when he did get near him. Yet Morgan can be and he is, at times—singu- larly those times are most frequent when he has not carried a point aimed at—the most gracious of men, the politest of gen- tlemen, the most courteous of, hosts, the most fascinating of good fellows. In appearance Mr. Morgan conveys the idea eof bigness, all around bigness. He is tall and well filled out. His hands are big and his arms are long. His face is smooth, except for the sandy mustache, that, like his; hair, is touch with gray. His face is ‘well colored in its pormal State, and bears the sign of = living.

But the genera! principle is this: m some cause or Other, the heat of the sun gathers up so Much moisture that ata certain point in the alr there be ips to he a t bank of atmosphere that is warmer and damper than the current immediately surrounding it. ‘The heat carrying the moisture with it ascends in a column, and as it rises and commences to spread gath- ers with it more and more moisture, “These are called centers of low pressure. They are to be found in all parts of the pee? oe near the earth, or miles above it. Ié is quite possible for a storm to be raging up in the clouds, and yet not be felt on the surface of the ground. So, also, there might be a serious storm near to the earth that would have no effect upon the upper currents of air. Science, it is inter- eating to know, has never been able to de- termine precisely how far the atmosphere extends above the earth. It is commonly believed among scientific men now that the atmosphere’s height varies according to certain conditions It is thought to be at least fifty miles above the earth, and it is supposed that at times it may extend two hundred miles up. “T am talking now, understand, withTe- gard to cyclones only. These low pressure areas of storm are in vast extent, they have two motions—first, their pro- gressive or onward motion from west to east at a rate of about twenty-five to thirty miles an hour, and, second, the spiral cen- tripetal movement of their moisture-soaked air currents at eighty or ninety miles an our. “Ags this great bank of winds of terrific force, with its curving, circling motion, moves along, the heated air feeds on the moisture it can pick up in ita fight. The more moisture it can get the greater ‘the intensity of the storm. Should its course lie over dry and arid regions, little by little the violence of the winds would decrease, but if it is moving over a seaboard dis- trict, where it can suck moisture from off the surface of the water, its power may grow to almost any point. “ osed to this are the areas of high pressure, banks of cold, dry air, which cone dense the moisture when they come in con- tact with it.

Common Ailments Which May Be Safely Treated at Home by I am troubled with indigestion or bilious- mess so much that I have blurs come on my eyes about twice a week. My eyes seer for a little while as if there was something like one-half or two-thirds of a circular saw with notches the edge like saw teeth floating around before me. if I should do nothing for it I would have a sick headache. My rule has lately been to immediately take nearly a teaspoonful of Epsom salts, and then it would go off, but would be likely to come on again in two or three days. I am very careful what I eat. Should I take mandrake to start up the liver? I see you advise sulphate of soda for dyspepsia. Is that Glamber’s salts? it be harmful to take Glauber's salts for a good many days right along? I would like to take something that would make & more lasting cure than I have had. 1. Mandrake may be used with good ef- fect. You would better use podophyllin, the active principle of mandrake. The follow- ing fofmula is a very good one: Pod@phylin, five grains. Compound extract of colocynth, one dram. To be made into twenty pills. Take one pill at bedtime. | Or you might find a good.remedy in eul- phate of soda (Glauber’s salf.). Take one eng BPN in a gobletful of hot water an hour before breakfast every morning. We have‘a Httle girl $8 months old who for some time has been troubled with an {irritation or itching on the back of her head and some on the breast. It is worse nights when her head becomes wafm from the heat of the pillow. What would you recom- mena for it? Try rhubarb and soda mixture. one teaspoonful after each meal. Will you picean give me a remedy for gy cystotis or inflammation of the bladder of some months’ standing? You may find a good remedy tn fluid ex- tract of pichi.

Any one of the following may be used with good effect: Spirits of chloroform, ‘com- pound spirit of lavender or Hoffman's ano- dyne (compound spirits of ether). The dose is one-half teaspoonful to be taken in water as required. Will you be so kind and give me a g004 formula for a nerve tonic,-and also the dose for same? The following is a very good one : Extract of nux vomica, five graihs, Phosphide of zinc, five grains. Reduced iron, twenty grains. To be made into twenty pilis. pill three time#a day. Please tell me bce will clear a yéllow complexion, caused, I. think, by 4 Willous* or constipated habit. Take phosphate of soda in PA of one teaspoonful in water three times @ day.

What is. the objection to rate mandrake or leptandrin’ for liver complaint? Does either leave an evil after effect? Would a compound of both be better to take than either of them alone? 1. There is no objection. 2. No, when properly used. 8. No, the pills mentioned above may be used with good resul:s. Kindly téll me what to do for a con- stant buzzing and ringing in the ears.
