The Contest Narrewing Dewn te “Silver and Bland” Against Seund Money and Morrisen. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 18.—The pres- idential candidacy of “Silver Dick” Bland of Missouri has aroused much interest in Washington. Southern and Western Demo- oruts take kindly to the idea of the Mis- souri silver leader being the standam-bear- er of the Chicago Convention, They say that the Bland boom will havea big growth in States where the silver men control and he will go into the Chicage convention with more votes pledged to him than any other candidate. It is too soon after the Sedalia Convention for the Bland button to be seen, but the Bland sentiment is strong and grow- ing rapidly. Almost without exception the Southern and Western members indorse his candi- dacy, and when the Missouri man’s cam- paign mapagers begin work they will have comparatively an easy task to place him in the lead among Democratic candidates, The “sound money” men are hopelessly looking for an availableman. Olney, Whit- ney, Carlisle, Russell, Matthews and Morri- son have followers, but few in number. They will divide the sound money” dele- gations, however, so that Mr. Bland wil easily have probably as many votes as of them combined. The candidacy of William R. Morrison is mitted to have received a severe set- k by the action of Missouri in declaring for Bland. It is even now conceded that he will have to get the combined ald of the sound money wing to prevent Illinols declaring for Bland and free silver. That Illinois is to declare for free silver un- less sharp political finesse defeats it is ad- mitted by most radical “sound money“ men. What they are now bending their energies to encompass is a defeat for free silver in. Tilinois. In no other State will the fight be so bitterly. vy Morrison is to have all the aid that can be * him. The fight is being made now, t has some queer features. : On the surface the “gold-bugs” say that the free eilver men are in control. Secretly they are 8 a tremendous effort to carry the State. President Cleveland ifs said to be taking a hand. While he is not friend- ly to Morrison he has notified the adminis- tration workers that they must any 7 to carry Illinois. Ben Cable and ex-Mayor Hop- kins are to have all the aid Dastern Demo- crats can give to carry Chicago and Cook County for gold. The wires are now being laid; but the free silver managers are con- fident that they will win, and now that Mis- sourl has declared for Bland the Illinois fight is to be silver and Bland against “sound money” and Morrison. BLOWN OFF A CAR. A Brakeman’s Painful ‘Mishap From a Moving Train. Seward Enloe, a brakeman in the employ of the Vandalia Railroad, met with a serious accident yesterday evening. He was on top of a freight car between Venice and Past Bt. Louis and owing to the high wind pre- valling at the time made a misstep and was literally blown from the car. In the fall Enloe was terribly bruised, and besides sustain’ng several broken ribs it is feared he was also injured internally. The injured man is a brother of Assis- ant State’s Attorney Solon A. Enloe of t St. Louis, and ut 27 rs of age. He was taken to Greenville, III., his home, for treatment. BATTLESHIP MASSACHUSETTS. She Left Philadelphia for Mer Ancher- age in Boston Harbor.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 18.—The Journal has received from the Democratic leaders of the Legislatures of nearly every State in the Union their opinions as to the probable etrengih of silver and gold in their delega- tions tc the National Democratic Conven- tion. Many of them also discuss the prob- ability of the adoption of the unit rule by their delegations. This class of men who are close to the people of their States seems to show that the est and South will be largely for silver while the East and Mid- dle States will declare for gold, or at any rate against free silver. That the results foreshadowed ~ this canvass are most important in politics can not be gainsaid. These telegrams to the Journal, from their character, clearly indicate that a crisis in financial matters will be reached when the convention assembles. The deductions from all these reports can be seen by a glance at the following table: SILVER.

NEW YORK, April 183—When Thomas A. Edison opened his mail to-day one of the first letters he looked at was from a man in what is known as a Hat“ town in hy regions of Pennsylvania, as fol- Mr. Thomas A. Edison—Dear Sir: I write you to know if you can make me an X ray apparatus for playing against faro bank. I would like to have it so I could wear it on my body and have it attached to glasses, so I can tell the second card on a deck of playMmg cards turned face up. If you will make it for me let me know what it will cost. If:I make a success out of it I will pay you $5,000 extra in one year. Please keep this to yourself. If you can't make it will you be kind enough to give me Professor Roentgen’s address. Please let me hear from you at once. 5 That's the best yet,“ said Mr. Edison. ‘There is a fellow that doesn’t want much; just wants to carry an electric light plant in his hip pocket and an X ray lamp in each eye to beat a dealer of a faro game who is working overtime to satisfy my cor- respondent's desire to call the turn. He has probably figured out that about the only way to beat the game is to do 80 with a club.“ The Edison works receive an average of five letters a day from cranks about the country wanting queer things made or of- fering suggestions in regard to improve- ments on articles made at the works. They are all indexed and filed in the letter cabi- BLOPERS DROWNED. Man, Weman and Twe Children Go Down in a Flat Beat. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

He says it ENGLAND HAS HEA HANDS FULL The Matabeles Are Still Menac-| ing Buluwayo. BOERS MAY GIVE TROUBLE. The Situation in South Africa Grows Complex, to Say Nothing of | the Soudan. LONDON, April 18—A dispatch from Buluwayo, Matabeland, dated April 17, says that the rebel# are increasing in numbers in proximity to the forces of the patrol es- tablished by the English, Forty-two men attacked the vänguard of the Matabeles at dawn and drove them back to the maln body. The English sustained a loss ot only one man wounded. According to reports re- ceived here, over fifty of the natives were killed. At noon the scouts again encountered the Matabeles in the neighborhood of the Gov- ernment house. Again in the afternoon a panio was caused in the town by the dis- covery of 200 of the natives hiding in the bush back of the hospital, where they were detained by the forces of the British. Ad- vices so far as received do not indicate whether any of the English or Matabeles were killed or injured during these later conflicts. The situation is, however, growing more serious hourly and a hot time is expected soon. Buluwayo is almost surrounded by a large force of hostile Matabeles, estimated to number from 12,000 to 15,000; the garrison is not be- lieved to number 1,000 men all told, and over one-third of them are either foraging, hold- ing strategic positions, scouting or trying to keep the roads clear for the provision and agmunition trains which are on the way to relieve Buluwayo. Besides, it is re- ported that a large portion of the remainder of the garrison left Buluwayo yesterday to — — the Imbesu Regiment of the Mata- eles. The announcement made in the House of Commons yesterday by Mr. Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, that the Government intended to increase the strength of the garrisons in South Africa has caused great satisfaction here. The Middlesex Regiment, the first one ordered to sail, has been especially chosen, as it fought at the Cape in There was great elation at Aldershot Camp when the orders to prepare to embark for South Africa reached this regiment. The soldiers gathered together and cheered repeatedly for Queen and country, everybody and ev- erything, and not many days will elapse before the men are ready for shipboard. It is more than hinted that the present increase is only a first installment of large reinforcements of troops which are to be sent to the Cape. The conservative news- papers are suddenly alive to the fact that the Cape of Good Hope ts of vital r- tance to Great Britain as being a sort of half-way house to India, a most healthy station, etc., and they loudly demand that it be converted into a milita base on a large scale. But what is really meant Is that Great Britain should prepare for war with the Trausvaal without loss of time. Further information has reached here from Johannesberg showing that the South African republic is making extensive min- tary preparations and the news has been — from several parts of the Trans- vaal. A dispatch to the Times from Johannes burg says: There is much disgust here at Sir Hercules Robinson ( ernor of Cape Colony) persistently opposing the sending of the British troops to South Africa. He is accused of subservieney to President Krue- ger and there are loud demands that Mr. Chamberlain end the matter. The Boers already six times outnumber the Britis®. Gen. Carrington, the British commander at Gibraltar, has been ordered to the Cape of Good 3 in order to take command of the British forces in Matabeleland. He is a South African veteran.

LONDON, April 18.—The alleged terms of the secret treaty between Russia and China were reprinted here to-day from a German paper and have created a bad impression, though it is evident that the statements made are not wholly true. According to the story China permits Russia in wartime to use any of her ports to mobilize, repair or coal her warships and to raise supplies in China, The latter also allows Russia to use Port Arthur, Kianshoo or any port of Kian Shoo or Che-Kiang, as a naval or military base. Other startling provisions include a branch line of the Siberian Raliroad to Tallen-Wan, controlled co-jointly fo sia and China. Then th R drill 100,000 troops.

ALL ON ONE PURPOSE BENT. ‘The People Had Speken and the Dele- gates Were True to Instruc- tions to the Letter. ——— The uacertalnty of the State Convention at Gedalia was its only monotonous feature, Grizzled old political veterans never before saw anything like it and perhaps never will again. There was practically no difference ot opinion on anything. The unanimity was @o absolute that it was killing to enthusi- em. It is only when men fight that en- thusiasm is engendered. » There was no fight at Sedalia. Not a man was there with a chip on his shoulder. Not @ single coat-tail dragged the ground in tempting invitation for somebody to tread on it. The newspaper correspondents were positively bored. There was nothing to write about or to build conjectures upon. For once at least—and this is important, for perhaps never again will the occasion Arise when such a thing can be said—a poli- tical convention did exactly what the con- stituents of those composing kt told them to do. Every one of the 535 delegates was instructed, and with exceptions so few as to be unworthy of notice every man of them followed his instructions strictly and liter- sally. There was no wavering at any point Ot the line. Probably this was because there as no enemy in the front or rear. Orators, cocked and primed for the efforts their lives, were given no opportunity to ake them. In fact, oratory seemed to have © place in the convention. The delegates were manifestly too eager to transcact the business for which they had assembled and then hurry back home to give an ac- count of themselves to the people who had gent them, to listen either with interest or Patience to speeches. This argues both the intelligence and judg- ment of the delegates. They had their minds fully made up as to what they wanted to do and knew how they were going about the task. No new light could be thrown on the great issue for theadvancement of which they were assembled, and therefore, even though the greatest living exponent of the doctrine they had all espoused was among them, they did not ask him to attempt further elucidation. None of those who, in the vary nature of n order to set the machinery of the convention in mo- tion ventured to enter, upon an argument in favor of free bimetallic coinage. It is true that whenever reference, im- ediate or remote, Was made to the theme, 6 hair-triggered audience responded with Applause loud and long, but there was a ring to it which told the speaker plainer than words that the demonstration of ap- Proval was not an invitation to affront in- telligence and question judgment by in- dulging in a dissertation on double stand- ard or ratio. They had thought these things out by themselves and had been de- liherate in reaching conclusions. There- fore no further argument on the subject was wanted by them, The most oa mayor | speech of the convention was the one made by State Chairman C. C. Maffitt in calling the as- @emblage to order. Or perhaps it is more truthful to indulge in a little Hibernianisn to speak of it as the speech which A Maffitt a“ "= make. AS - tes of the State Committée 2 body knew he would have to call the sonvention to order and announce the tem- oorary organization agreed upon by the Immittee.

HE, TOO, WILL BE BOLTED. Friends of the Ohio Presidential Aspirant Threaten te Down the Illinois Politician. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, IL, April 18.—John R. Tanner, who has felt assured of the Repub- lican nomination for Governor for some | time, is likely to have trouble when the State Convention meets April 29. His ene- mies have hopes that his machine“ will not work to his fancy at the critical mo- ment, but may grind out a nomination for another. The fact that Mr. Tanner, feeling certain of the nomination for Governor, took a hand in the presidential struggle may prove to be his undoing, for he has incurred the enmity of Mr. McKinley’s friends. He is also said to have made an opponent of Henry L. Hertz of Chicago, the machine aspirant for State Treasurer. Tanner is credited with saying that he could be nominated without Cook County’s 371 votes, and he wanted to be rid of Hertz and his candidacy. Tanner has fought the efforts to have Mc- Kinley or any one else indorsed by the State Convention. Friday the report came from Cullom’s Washington headquarters that Illinois would send no instructed delegates to St. Louis; that ex-Govs. Fifer and Ogles- by and Editors Medill and Patterson would be the delegates at large and that they would vote for no one. The Cullom men agreed upon this settlement“ and the Mo- Kinley men were waited upon for an an- awer. This proposed settlement“ was taken to the McKinleyites’ wigwam here and the answer made by a leader was significant. He said: “Settle? Settle what? We have but one thing to settle, and that is McKinley’s in- dorsement on the first ballot in the State Republican Convention April 29. After that is done we will talk ‘settlement.’ Do you suppose that the several hundred honest, intelligent, upright citizens that have been selected to vote ‘first, last and always’ for McKinley, have any intention of bolting those instructions? Do you suppose that the delegates to the coming State Conven- tion have any right to do it? We have been whip-sawed, tormented, bucked, gagged and rammed down the throat by J. Otis Humphrey, old Dave Lit- tler, John Tanner and their associates long enough, and now propose to call a halt—and a sudden one. * N to have the delegates to the Republican State Convention carry out their instructions and to vote for Major William McKinley ust as long as they have breath, or John obert Tanner will never be nominated for Governor. „I mean to gay just this: ‘If it is right for John Tanner to say to the delegates that are instructed for him and McKinley that they must not carry out their instruo- tions regarding McKinley, then, sir, we pro- pose to say to these same delegate ‘Do that, and we demand that you do not vote for John Tanner for Governor.’ If it is fair for the delegates that are instructed to do what they can for McKinley for President, and Tanner for Governor, to bolt the President, then it’s fair for them to bolt Mr. Tanner. have during the past ten days traveled over a goodly portion of Hlinots, and I have talked this openly an@ above board. I have not yet found a voter or delegate to the coming State convention that says we are not right. Of Mr. Tanner they eay: If he wants us to bolt Bill McKinley why we will have to bolt him too, for we are in- structed for them both. “IT know Mr. Tanner claims te have seven hundred, eight hundred or a thousand votes already pledged for him, but remember that every mother’s son of them is also instruct- ed for Maj.

Special to the Post Dispatch. LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 18.— The Re- publican State Convention leaves behind it a memory of confusion and disorder. It was the wooliest political gathering ever held by the Republicans of Kentucky, con- tributed to doubtless by the fact that for the firet time in the history of the party in Kentucky its convention is of importance and everybody was out for everything in sight. Tus victory of Bradley was so parttal and incomplete that the Governor cannot but feel his situation rather ridiculous, A few weeks ago he was parading as the cock of the Kentucky barnyard and here he discovers himself opposed so bitterly as to be compelled to make a hand to hand canvass in order to put up anything like the respectable showing to whic he thought himself entitled. As it is, ten of Kentucky’s delegates will vote for McKin- ley on the first ballot taken at St. Louis to the sixteen who will vote for Bradley. The inside history of the bitter fight made * ganization in the State. Their committee has decided to appoint cen men for each district, county and precinct. and to make a thorough canvass of Ker The approaching Democratic con- vention will have on its hands a warm fight in consequence. There is no doubt that the free coinage delegation win be a large one, and when the name of Carlisle is placed before the convention for in- dorsement, such action will go through only after vigorous opposition, if at 441 The free coinage men, however, are not disposed to carry their fight to the point of breaking up the party, and they have already announced that so far as resolu- tions are concerned they are willing to waive them and walt for the declaration of the National Convention in Chicago.

Johnson County Convention Names Candidates and Chooses Delegates. Special to the Post-Dispatch. OLATHE, Kan., April 18.—The Johnson County Democratic Convention met in Olathe to-day. A county ticket was nomi- nated and four sets of delegates were elected. W. R. Walker was Chairman and J. A. Julien Secretary for the convention. The county ticket is the strongest nomi- mated in years and is as follows: For County Attorney, J. F. Herman; Clerk of the District Court, George Boynton; Pro- bate Judge, Charles Delahunt; Representa- tive, H. C. Livermore; Commsisioner from the First District, Henry Klussman.

SPRINGFIELD, III., April 18.—Now that the Republican State Convention is ap- proaching it is well to note that the Demo- crats are not idling away these balmy spring days.

A forecast of the ticket made by close observers is as follows: For Governor, John P. Altg of Chi- cago; for Lieutenant Governor, Judge Mon- roe C.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 18.—Poll- ticlans are almost convinced that the time to sell McKinley stock has come. The ac- tion of New Jersey and Kentucky has been a severe blow to his cause. The first- named, it is true, declared ond, but there is not a great deal of sat- isfaction in that to a candidate who if he is to win at all must win on the frst ballot. New Jersey’s decision at the request o Gen. Sewell not to instruct at all is oat more serious in its suggestiveness. People here who should be in a position to speak with some knowledge do not accept in any degree the insinuation that the recommenda- tion of Garrett A. Hobart for the Vice- Presidency is equivalent to an indorsement or ne ae e tor reason ey say s not so, two One is because Gen. Sewell is not for Me. Kinley. The other is that there ts another Western man eligible for the nomination, situated, geographically, at least, as ad- SENATOR oronon ©.’ PERKINS “ @ARRETT. A. HOBART. YD JOHN WANAMAKER. SIX REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR THE VICE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES, WILLIAM * ROBERT : MOORR, Mn ing his campaign for Governor his warmest friends and busiest , is highly in- teresting. When the vernor announced himself a candidate for the Presidency, it was taken for granted by those who were partial to McKinley, who believed him the most available man and the man most likely to win the nomination, and who wanted to be on the winning side, that Bradley would carry the State Conyention. Their plans were, in fact, made only to secure second instructions for McKinley. But the first effort made in this direction call out a storm of abuse from the friends.of Brad- ley, inspired by the Governor himself. The dictum was sent out that all who worked for McKinley in any way, shape or form were traitors to the Kentucky candi- date and objects of dire vengeance, This state of affairs brought about retaliatory measures from the McKinley workers, who at once determined that instead of working merely to obtain second instructions, they would endeavor to cut Bradley out of the indorsement of the State Convention. How near they came to doing this was manifest when the district conventions were held, four of them instructing straight out for the Ohio man, six instructing for Bradley, and one, the local district, being contested, This district, whose regular convention in- structed for McKinley, will send two dele- gations to St. Louis, one being composed of the regulars and the other of the bolt- ers, and the fight will be for supremacy. If McKinley obtains a favorable temporary organization, the regular delegation will, of course, be seated, which will give the Ohio candidate five out of eleven districts in Kentucky. The Democrats of Kentucky who favor the free coinage of silver have been per- fecting plans is week for a detailed or- mously indorsed for President, John R. Tanner for Governor and Wm. E. Mason for State Senator. Delegates were instructed to vote at the County Convention for Mc- Kinley, Tanner and Mason first, last and all the time.

He is Chairman of the State Board of Mine Ex- aminers, a capitalist, and a coal mine op- erator and owner, Ras had long per- sonal experience with the coal miners of Southern Illinois, and they like him. Now that Judge Crawford bobbed up for the Lieutenant Governors the naming of Browning for Tre © becomes an im- ssibility, for théeygréside in the same erritory. Mr. Browning's brother is the present Indian Commissioner, and is of President Cleveland’s favorites. This circumstance might unite the Cleveland and Altgeld elements if Mr. Browning were nominated for State Treasurer, especially in Egypt, and where the.Democrats antici- pate large gains this fall. Another man that has been mentioned for the Treasurership is Brad K. Durfee, Su- perintendent of State Insurance, He lives at Decatur, is rich, well known and popu- ar. John W. Yantis of Shelbyville, Secretary of the Railroad and Warehouse Commis- sion, has been mentioned for the Secretary of State nomination. William H. Hinrichsen, the present Secre- tary of State, could have the nomination without the asking, but he has made up his mind to run for Congress in the Six- teenth District, and he will doubtless se- cure that nomination. Finis E. Downing, the present incumbent, promised that he would not ask for two terms, but since his seat has been contested by Rinnaker he has said that he did not get a fair show and he wants another chance. Senator Reed Green of Cairo has been suggested for the Attorney Generalship. resided and Gen. J. B. Weaver and H. E. aubeneck, Chairman of the National Pop- ulist Committee, were present. Gen. Weav- er had just come from Oregon, where he says he believed the Democrats and Popu- lists will combine and carry the State. The general condition of the Populist ty in the nation and the relation it sh bear towards the new silver party were discussed. Chairman Patterson made a strong plea for an amalgamation of all the silver forces regardless of party. Mr. Tau- beneck followed in the same strain. ceunseled consarvatism in the party, argu- ing that it was best to secure one plank in the platform first, and then reach out for others. He expressed the belief that the silver party had more than a fighting chance if only proper precautions were taken to give the people acceptable can- didates. Sr. FRANCOIS REPUBLICANS.

Rather the contrary is the fact, for Herrison in his frigid way has more than once intimated to his friends that he knew McKinley was in the intrigue at Minneapolis and only declined to out his part with Foraker and Quay and Platt because he feared the cause was lost and did not want to accept the co uences of defeat. A great many people will be great- ly mistaken if New Jersey does not suggest — Aerts of Harrison and Hobart at St. ulis. Friends of Reed and Morton view the sit- uation now with great complacency.

There are some indications which now and then seem to point to the belief that McKinley's friends will come out and declare that he is willing to stand on the yellowest kind of a metal plank.

It is a hopeful sign that the Brooklyn Woman's Health Protective Association @pplauded Mrs. Perry. who declared at @ recent meeting of the Association that ‘women's big hats “cause nervous dis- eases, and if they continue in fashion “will lead to paralysis and death.“ It showed that the Brooklyn women are in the front rank of scientific ana hygienic knowledge. It is not simply its weight or size that makes the theater hat unhealthy. Mod- ern science has shown that mental condi- tions can be and usually are transmitted from one person to another. And the mental condition that is likely to be transmitted to the wearer of a theater hat by from three to five aggravated minds, belonging to those behind the wearer of such a hat, is an unhealthy con- dition. If the women want to be healthy and happy and to shed health and happiness around them they will avoid the big theater hat. | FRAUDULENT STREET CAR FENDERS. The position taken by the street car Company and the Board of Public Im- provements in regard to the murder of a child by a defective fender is not cal- culated to impress the public with the humanity or common sense of the offi- clals defining that positiom The stand they have taken is that no blame at- taches to them, and that ing can be done to prevent the fender ordinance from being a fraud on the public. The Board of Public Improvements had plenty of time to examine and test the various styles of fender that were sub- mitted for its approval. The fenders ap- proved are manifestly gg different in price and in the qualities for which a fender is valuable, that ust be a source of wander that the roved the Worst as well as the best.

When the object was to save human Ute, why were inferior fenders accepted by the Board? It is evident from what President Mc- Math says about the fenders on the Scullin lines, that he Jooks upon some fenders as better adapted for saving life than others. Why did he not insist upon no fender being used except such as he says he would “prefer to fall on?” P The short, rigid, cheap fender is a fraud and a trap. If the companies con- tinue its use they will show that they care more for dollars than for human life, - BICYCLES AS BAGGAGE. The action pending before Judge Rus- sell in the Circuit Court to compel the railroads to carry bicycles as baggage is of general interest and the settlement of the question will be eagerly awaited by thousands of bicyclists in St. Louis and elsewhere. The contention of counsel] for plaintiff that bicycles are personal baggage in the same sense as are the fisherman’s rod and tackle and the hunter’s gun and other paraphernalia, seems good logic. The railroads transport these articles free of charge on the ground that unless they did so the trip would not be taken and they would lose the fare of the hunters and the fishermen. The argument that the bicyclist takes a trip by rail in order to ride home on his wheel seems to have a precisely similar basis. He can see no valid reason why he is allowed to carry with him a trunk weighing 100 pounds free of charge and yet is forbidden to take a wheel which weighs but 20 or 25 pounds without pay- ing frefght on it. Even should the decision go .gainst the litigating wheelmen it is to be hoped the railroads will, on the score of self- interest, not insist on taking advantage of it. If they do they will lose a great many passenger fares that they weuld otherwise get from bicyclists. — —— — THE X RAT AND THE M’KINLEY BOOM. Two things which command a large share of the public interest have shown marked progress during the past week. These are the McKinley boom and the X ray. Other things may have stood still and others gone backward, but these two, like John Brown’s soul, have been marching on. The’ boom has progressed into New Jersey, passed into New York and is now listening to the shouts of welcome from the Republicans of Connecticut, who will in a few days give it expansion and formal recognition. It went into Kentucky the other day and the small bosses put Bradley clothes on some of its limbs, just as they tried to swath it in Cullom garments in II- linois. But they are misfits and will be kicked off when the boom reaches St. Louis in June. The X ray has been taken up by Tesla and he has looked through three men at one time by its aid. Edison has util- ized it so effectively that his fluoroscope is within an ace of being perfected to the point where he can hand it over to the doctors and let them look through their patients with it. And, last Dut not least, Chicago scientists claim they have demonstrated that it is sure death to the murderous microbes that cause death to man and beast under the guise of chol- era, consumption, diphtheria and hog cholera. The only point of resemblance between the scientific and the political object of interest is the element of progression existing at present in both. In the lat- ter this will die out amid the frosts of next November, but in the former it will go onward through the centuries to come, improving man’s physical condi- tion and bringing him nearer to the In- finite in wisdom. PROVINCIAL STATESMER. . Chauncey M. Depew relates as an in- cident of his recent trip to the Pacifle Coast that he found a good deal of silver sentiment in California, Colorado, Ari- zona, Wyoming, Utah and Nebraska. Had the President of the New York Cen- tral taken in all the other States and Territories west of the Alleghanies and kept his ears open, he would have heard the same silver chorus at almost every station along the way. . The most sensational admission Mr. Depew makes, however, is that this is the first visit he has ever paid to California. Here is a man looked upon as a typical American, verging on 60, managing the richest railroad system in the United States, receiving a salary of $50,000 a year, a standing Presidential aspirant for the that he has just now, for the first time in his life, traveled over one of the most beautiful and resourceful sections of the land of his birth. Although he has been to Europe perhaps half a of dollars in that country acquired in this, he has only looked once in a lifetime upon the people and scenes of the boundless West. But Mr. Depew has exceeded in his practical acquaintance with the geo- graphical extent of the country Mr. Cleveland, who has lived fifty-nine years in the United States and has been Presi- dent eight without going farther West than St. Louis. These eminent Easterners know as much about China and Central Africa as they do about the western three- quarters of their own country. And there are hundreds of other New York- ers as densely ignorant of everything Western as are President Gleveland and Mr. Depew. WHAT CUBA WOULD GAIN. The question is frequently asked by persons unfamiliar with international law, What would Cuba gain by having belligerent rights granted her? She would gain the following advan- tages: First—The whole character of the war- fare waged by the Spaniards would have to be changed. The insurgents, hitherto treated as pirates if captured at sea and as bandits if captured on land, would become entitled to the humane treatment prescribed by modern usage for prisoners of war. They would have a right, if not exchanged, to decent lodging and proper food and when sick or wounded to med- ical attention.’ supplies for the Spanish army in Cuba. d. States.

They wrote to His Honor of Vancouver the other day that they had in hand a scheme for the benefit of the young women of their own and other Canadian cities, They told him that statistics showed a shortage in the female population of the Northwest Territory and a corresponding overplus of unmarried women in the East- ern Canadian cities. What these en- terprising and benevolent female letter- writers of Toronto wanted the Mayor of Vancouver to do was to arrange that heal- thy young women of good moral character be sent to Vancouver to be distributed among the wife-hunters of the Northwest Territory. It would seem the Canadian spinsters have stolen a march on their New England sisters by organizing a man-hunt that will crowd the latter out of a promising matri- monial field. Still it is not too late for a competitive matrimonial campaign, If there is one thing I know less about than another that one thing is base ball. Its errors, stick work, muffs, slides, double plays, high balls and low balls, punts, fouls, three-baggers, base-on-balls, and three-strikes-and-out are to me as intelligi- ble as the hieroglyphic-covered papyri found in the bowels of Cheops’ pyramid. | And yet, despite all this humiliating ig- norance, I yell just as loud as anybody whenever I go to a ball game, and there- fore have a right to give three hurrahs and a tiger“ for the Browns of 98. Their game Thursday, so the critics tell me, was a regular E pluribus unum—Erin go Bragh” sort of a performance, and has never been equaled since base ball was first invented. No wonder the 11,000 people in Sportsman’s Park shouted until the cir- cumambient atmosphere was chocked full of hats, caps, parasols, umbrellas, handker- chiefs, fans and sounds. Never was such gesticulation witnessed outside a National Convention hall or an old-fashioned camp- meeting. The “fans” and “cranks” had a good ex- cuse to howl themselves hoarse with delight and to execute “wing dances” on the bleachers until they were almost apoplec- tic from excess of joy. Capt. Latham and his pig-skin pounders had crossed bats with the best team in the League and convinced the Cleveland Spiders that there was one day in which they were strictly not in it at any stage of the game. With such ball as they put up on Thurs- day played throughout the season the Browns will not only bid a long and glad standard bequeathed to Americans by their “fare-you-well” to the tall-end of the pro- Revolutionary sires and wrested from them by the most treasonable and insidious plot that was ever concocted between consclous- less money-changers and purchased law- makers to despoil a trusting people since the world was created. dusy guessing as to whether the pennant Often thrown down in his public career dy party defeats, “Silver Dick’’ Bland has risen above the wreck to renew his fight for Betrayed by traitors within his party, warred against by his political foes without, he has never been disheartened.

BROTHER 1S HOT. Bays Political Bigotry Drove Him From His Pastorate. PEW RATES AND LOW TARIFF One Member Called Him a Copper- head and Another Wondered If Democrats Were Christians. NEW YORK, April 19.—A local paper this morning prints a dispatch from Rev. Wm. N. Cleveland, brother of President Cleve- land, giving a detalled account of the clergyman’s troubles*with his parishioners. The dispatch says: CHAUMONT, N. Y., April 18.—There is no room for doubt that underlying all the trouble in the Chaumont Presbyterian Church which resulted in my dismissal as pastor is political bigotry. Should you canvass the village you would learn from tts citizens that that is the true state of affairs. The general, I might say the uni- versal opinion is that politics had véry much to do with the trouble. If the words and conduct of the fac- tion of my congregation which is op- sed to me mean anything, that is cer- Alnly the case. In fact, that was the formal complaint made to my face by a committee of this opposing faction, which formally waited upon me at the Parsonage @ little mcre than a year ago. They came to complain of a Grand Army sermon I had preached, which was not according to their views. They said that I did not make sufficient @llusion to the late war, and expressed Sympathy because of my being connected with a community with whose political views I was so much out of joint. The Spokesman for the committee was an elderly gentleman who is the head of a leading family of the opposition. Con- sistent with such a formal complaint to me with regard to my politics, there have been a variety of casual utterances from these same parties. I have been on the Lord’s day, and inside my church designated as Old Copperhead the leading man in the epposing party. at same man at an annual church meet- ing reduced his pew rates, alleging tariff re- form as the reason, and that was shortly before the visit of the committee referred to above. His complaint of too much tariff reform was made in writing. I had supposed that all was known about me, especially my politics, before I came here. But one day in my own house, soon after I took charge of the church, the re- mark was made that if it had been known that I was a Democrat I never would have been appointed to this parish. It was also said by the same person that it was surprising to know that any man could be a Democrat and a Christian at the same time and that it had been sup- posed such a thing was impossible. This remark may have been made partially in jest, however. me one, I do not know who, recently expressed satisfaction “that this nest of emocrats was about to be broken up.“ n the light of these facts, does it not ap- ear that politics had much to do with the rouble? I am sorry to be asked or induced to say these things. It seems necessary that should however, since the political phase of the matter has been denied by these same opposing parties and the denial published broadcast. ~w As for myself, not even my worst enemy will say that I ever in the least degree dis- cussed any political subject in the pulpit. I don’t remember either of having discussed litics in this village outside of the pulpit. y church and congregation are almost unanimously Republican and a majority of them adhere to me in spite of politics. It does not follow, however, that the oppo- sition has not a political basis. It has, but the difficulty is not drawn on political lines. It comes from a few of the most radical Republicans. I might add that another ground of com- la'nt against me, made in a formal way, Ss my general conservativeness, particular- ly in respect to the matter of temperance. The family leading the opposition to me is conspicious for its radical views on this subject. I have been complained of by these same ersons for making alleged drives at them n the pulpit. I can only say that my eaching has been general in topic and in one, and general gospel preaching, and it seems sOmewhat remarkable that gospel truth should prove offensive to any of them. I have been conscious of only one thing while serving in this parish, that is my de« sire te preach the gospel truth. I have been very unwilling to believe in Christian men such motives as have evidently actu- ated those participating in this opposition and nothing but what seemed to be a prov- idential occasion to-day would have in- duced nme to make this statement. It must also be acknowledged that in a pecondary way other causes have opérated to provoke the opposition,especially certain old social enmities in the congregation, with which I have not sympathized suffi- ciently on one side or the other. This oppo- gition has been carried on by private soll- eltation for a pores of two years or more. The sume kinds of influences have been used effectually against influential minis- ters of neighboring churches. I have had several offers to leave here within the past six months, but I have refused because I consider it my duty to remain until the un- leasant matter is settled in what I regard the proper way. I have no plans for the future. W. N. CLEVELAND. — — Is No Better than Dr. Humphreys’ Hemeopathic Specifics for other diseases. 1 Ouree Fever. 2 Woorme. Infante’ Diseases.

NEW YORK, April 18—A special to a local paper from Madrid says the Spanish Government is about to try to steal a march on President Cleveland. It is making prep- arations, which it pretends are voluntary, to put into force in the West Indies some scheme of colonial home rule, based upon the bill which passed the Cortes in Janu- ary, 1895. The reforms will go into effect as soon as Gen. Weyler, guided by hints on the sub- ject from the Spanish legation in Washing- tion can act. Many telegrams on the sub- ject have been passing between Gen. Weyler and the Madrid Colonial Office, where Min- ister Castellanos and other officials are ac- tively drafting the contemplated measures which will be officially styled political and administrative reforms. HE WORE A SHAWL The Joke That Was Played on a &t. Louis Man in the 508. Way back in 1853, when St. Louls was a border city, the local court was not kept working overtime to dispose of filed cases; Instead the court had to hustle around to rake up business enough to make a pretense for existing. Among the cases “raked up,” and one which will be remembered by almost every survivor of that time, is one related by old Turnkey Lally at the Soulard Street Police Station. A young man was arrested on a charge of wearing women’s clothing, convicted of the charge, and fined. It started as a joke, but no one but the court officials and the prose- puting witness knew it until several years ater. Kirk Anderson, a reperter on the old Re- publican, and a very prominent personage. was arrested on a charge of wearing wo- men's apparel, a shawl, What probably Suggested it was the arrest of a *. a pret- ty little thing who delighted to wear trous- ers. She was known as John Smith,“ and loafed about the engine house—then a vol- unteeer institution—always wearing a man’s suit of clothes. Justice was starving to death for lack of business, and the constable took “John Smith“ to the station house and locked her up on @ charge of wearing men’s clothes. All night John languished in the lonely cal- proses, and with the morning came her rial, . It was not necessary for the prosecution to hunt up evidence, as the girl appeared in court in the clothes she wore when arrested. “John Smith“ was convicted, and pounded rocks on the public streets for five months, with a ball and chain atttached to her feet. At that time the fashionable young men of the town had read in the fashion papers from New York that the proper thing was a Shawl, and the larger the shaw] the more proper. Kirk Anderson was a proper young man, and purchased as large a shaw] as his income would allow. The shawls were worn much as an elderly lady of to-day wears one. The court officials entered tnto a conspir- acy, eomplaint was made against the re- porter and he was arrested charged with wearing woman’s clothes. He was re- leased on bond. When the trial came up in the little room down in Commercial alley the place was packed, half of the audience being the lady friends of the defendant. Anderson entered a plea of not guilty. The first point to establish was that a shawl] was exclusively woman's apparel. The young prosecuting attorney, with long hair and an ambition, concluded his remarks on that subject by Saying that if men were allowed to wear shawls, or any other articles which have always been associated with women, it might prove disastrous to the enforcement of the Jaw, as a man could steal a coop of chickens and by the use of a shaw! dis- guise himself as a woman. The next point and the one which proved most vexatious, was to establish the fact that Anderson was a male and not entitled Most of Mr. Anderson’s lady friends were present when the awful problem of proving himself A man arose. The prosecuting witness BSwore that for several days he had fol- lowed Anderson about the town and that, although he passed the dry goods stores perhaps a dozen times, he never stopped once to look. That was strong evidence that he was not a woman, but the court was not trying to prove that. It desired to establish the fact that the prisoner was a man. His room was searched and in it were found only such articles as would be- long to a man. That was considered posi- tive proof. The Judge said that as it was Anderson’s first offense he would only fine him $50 and the costs. Anderson did not have that much money with him and was taken to jail, where he was about to be locked up when a friend paid the fine. At that time there were a good many young men wearing shawls, but after An- derson’s conviction they were all discarded and there was ana immediate slump in the shawl market. Some time after the trial it leaked out that the charge was gotten up as a joke, but when it had progressed so far the in- stigators were compelled to carry it out. Anderson went West in the 70s and start- ed a paper in Colorado. He died there about etn years ago. He had a brother, Bill Anderson, who is now living in St. Louis. COURT DRESSMAKER LADIES? TAILOR.

V. PARIS. LONDON. COWES. — — —— —UE2—U— — AMATEUR ATHLRTIC UNION, It Makes an Alliance and Amends Some of Its Rules. NEW YORK, April 18.—A special meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union was held here to-night, and the most important bit of work was transacted near the close. This was the signing of articles of alliance with the Y. M. C. A. of North America. The articles will be approved by the board and will then be submitted to a mail vote. The Pacific, Southern and Central Asso- — were not represented at the meet- ing. The first matter to come up was that of the definition of an amateur. A paper has been prepared by the committee appointed for the purpose, but it was decided to lay the matter over and increase the commit- tee having it in charge by adding the name of two representatives. from the Inter- collegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America. The Chairman appointed G. T. Kirby of Columbia and James P. Lee of Harvard. Paragraph 4 of general rule 3, relating to amateurs’ status, was changed to read as follows: No application for reinstatement for amateur status shall be entertained unless the applicant shall have abstained from pro- fessional conduct for two years and such application shall be acted upon by the Board rs | Governors and shall take effect only upon the two-thirds majority vote of the Board of Governors at any meeting of the A. A. a a two-thirds vote of the board by mall.“ Rule 18, relating to the tape and manner of finishes bas been amend The tape has been raised from three feet to four, and provides that the winner shall reach the ” 1 first instead of touching it. letter was read from ex-Chlef Consul H. E. Raymond of the L. A. W. in which harmony between the two great. organiza- tions was favored. He stated that it would be well if the L. A. W. and A. A. U. could mutually agree upon the insertion of a clause in the rules which would withhold the sanction of the organizations from any gathering that did not act up to the amateur rules, A paragraph has been added to rule 8, at the suggestion of Chief Consul Potter providing for this, and it will be submitted to the L. A. W. This virtually means that the L. A. W. hereafter will observe | the rules and regulations of the A. A. U. The election to fill vacancies on Board of Governors resulted in the election of G. T. Kirby, President of the Inter- Collegiate Association and M. T. Helfert and p. FP. Sullivan, representing the Association, The committee, who has been gating the New England Association, re- ported that it is unable to do the work. The whole matter was referrred to E. E. Babb for adjustment. The old rule permitting amateur base ball teams was revived. There are at present some seven clubs under the ban for violating this clause. On motion of Mr. Harder it was resolved that the U. heartily indorse the provisions of the Armstrong baggage bill which requires railroads to carry bicycles as baggage. Gov. Morton was requested to sign this bill when it reaches him from the New York Legislature. ‘Brown May Be Nominated.

A PLUCKY WOMAN IS HRS. VINCENT. She Is a Ready and Skillful Han- dler of Firearms. NOT AFRAID OF BURGLARS. She Has Shot One Robber and Fright- ened Anether Out of His Wits With Bullets. Mrs. Joseph Vincent has on two occasions demonstrated that all the true bravery in the world is not possessed by the sterner sex. And ghe has further shown that a woman may be courageous and brave with- out losing any of her feminine loveliness nor detracting from the charms of ideal womanhood. Those who have read of Mrs. Vincent's encounters with two bold burglars and sup- pose her to be an example of the “new woman” are most assuredly incorrect in their estimate of her. She displays none of their rather alarming charactcristics, and yet she has shown in a manner that will admit of no argument that she has al- ready achieved one of the main objects that the new women boast they strive for— the ability to take care of one’s self. She has done this in such a manner as to win the respect and admiration of all who have heard of her encounters, and the charge of being masculine will not be raised against her by any who have had the pleasure of messing, her. Mrs. Vincent lives at 5109 McPherson ave- nue. She kindly granted a Post-Dispatch reporter. an interview. Mrs. Vincent is just recovering from a several weeks’ i!I- att and is yet an invalid. She is a re- markably handsome woman; tall, slender and graceful. She is a decided brunette, and looks scarcely more than 20 years old. Her features are regular, with a mouth rather large anda chin that denotes strength of character and firmness. Her hair is as black as jet, and parted in the middie, is combed quite smooth, with a suspicion of wave over each temple. Her eyes are dark and lustrous, and sparkle with intelligence when she converses. Mrs. Vincent is a native of Kentucky, and she speaks with a strong Southern accent. She was reclining in an invalid’s chair when the reporter was ushered into her presence. Without waiting for the news- aper man to proclaim his mission, Mrs. incent greeted’ him with the remark: “Well, I suppose you came out to see me about that horrid burglar at whom I shot this morning.“ After being informed that her surmise Was correct, Mrs. Vincent continued: “I hope you won't put any account of it in the Post-Dispatch, for notoriety of any sort is —* distasteful to me, and my husband is td averse to having my name in print.“ On being told that the story had already been printed, she asked for and was shown the paper. How in the world did you find out all about this?“ she asked. There has been no reporter here to-day; and yet you have it pretty nearly correct. “When had my experience with my burglar two years ago I positively refused to see the newspaper men, and they printed S80 much that was untrue then and made their accounts so sensational that when you sent up your card I determined to see you and give you a true account of it. “It was quite early Wednesday morning, between 4 and 5 o’clock, that I was awak- ened by a crashing sound as of someone breaking through a window. I awoke with a start. I at once thought of burglars and how in the world I managed to jump out of bed so quickly and get my revolver I am unable to say. I am just recovering from an attack of peritonitis and am quite weak. The sound came from directly under my window. I ran hastily and threw open the sash. Standing just between my house and Mr. Field’s I saw a man. He had stopped and was putting on a pair of trousers over his clothing. I knew that he was a burglar and thought he had come from my house. I drew my revolver and fired two or three shots at him. He ran away down the street and then I saw. Mr. and Mrs. Field and from them I learned where the burglar had been. I did not hit him I am sure. „Now, there was nothing sensational in that,“ continued Mrs. Vincent. “I acted on the impulse of the moment and thought I was only protecting my property. I had no destre to pose as a thief-takér and did not have any idea of making a spectacle of myself.” Mrs. Vincent said that her experience — ve z—O—Om—I—Ü—U—P —— — — — — . — At Our.

Two years ago she was quite alone in the house when ¢ she disturbed a thief who was ransacking the premises. Her husband, who is a dry goods broker, was away on a trip and both of the servants were absent. Wednesday morning Mr. Vincent was again away ona business trip and both of the servants were out. Her two little sons and her mother, who arrived from San Francisco for a few weeks’ visit, were the only ones at home. Since the first burglar: visited her Mrs. Vincent says she has iron bars placed at all the rear windows. In reply to the query if she were not afraid of robbers she laughingly answered: “Not nearly so much afraid of them as I am of newspaper reporters. When I was a girl 1 had four brothers and from them- I learned the use of firearms. I do not pro- fess to be a ‘crack’ shot, but I can come close enough to a burglar to frighten him away, I think, and really that is all that is necessary. I always ave my revolver within reach. I know it ts not considered much of an accomplishment for a woman to be proficient with firearms, but I think that every girl should be taught their use. After they know how to use them it gives them a self-confidence they cannot possibly otherwise attain. “T was not frightened at the time, but I will confess to having been somew!: at nerv- ous since.“ AN AGED WOMAN’S ARREST. She Begged Piteously to Be Released, but Was Locked Up. Mrs. Louisa Schalinski, a widow 7 years old, living at 3727 Tennessee avenue, was arrested yesterday on complaint of Edward Strasberg, a builder. Strasberg has been missing lumber with great regularity and Friday night he saw the woman take about twenty feet of lumber. More was found at her home. She said she intended making a door with it. At the Gate Street Station Mrs. Schalinski said: “Tl have been a widow for twenty-five years. By the memory of my dead hus- band I beg you to let me go. I was not stealing. did not think the wood was worth much, and I needed it so bad. Please don’t lock me up.“ When the cell door closed behind her she fell on her knees, wept, groaned and prayed. Mr. Johnson would not issue a warrant ow- ing to the woman’s age, and also as Stras- berg was not anxious to prosecute, FELL OVERBOARD. Dennis Butler, a Bargeman, Drowned in the River.

William Trell Didn't Kaow He Had Lost a Prisoner Till Next Day. Owing to the negligence, incompetency or some other quality of Sheriff Troll’s son and Deputy, Charles Lavigne is now at large and the city must foot the bill for repairs on Criminal Court No. 1 cage. Thera was a determined effort to suppress the facts, and that the escape became public is not the fault of the Sheriff's office. When a rumor was current there were Deputy Sheriffs to answer the questions of re- porters with: “Oh, it’s only a gag. No one got away.” Lavigne was under indictment for burg- lary, and was brought into court Friday morning by Deputy Sheriff William Troli, son of the Sheriff. Lavigne’s case was con- tinued to April 28, and then he was put in the cage awaiting transfer to the jail. About 1 o’clock court adjourned and Troll went to eat, leaving Max Ruler, another Deputy, in court. He says he thought Ruler would take Lavigne back to jail. When Troll returned the cage was empty, but that didn’t worry him. Even that even- ing when Jailer Wagner asked him where Lavigne was Troll did not worry. It was clear to his large and comprehen- sive intellect that if Ruler had not returned the prisoner to the jailer’s care some one had given bond for him. Shortly before noon Saturday the idea percolated through: young Troll’s Brain that he might inquire” He asked Ruler what time he took Lavigne down stairs.

Between t bars and the screen is a space of probably seven inches. With the leg of a chair La- vigne had pried the screen loose and then tore a hole wide enough to permit the peasage of his bedy. He wormed his way etween the cage and the outer bars, and once safely outside he found the coast clear and moved. on. Capt. Anton Heubler, the Sheriff's Chief Deputy, says he knew nothing of Lavigne’s flight until after noon Saturday, and he then notified the police. Aubrey Beardsley and Bicycles. This strange artist who has attracted world-wide attention, has devoted his art to a new end—that of portraying the Fair Cyclist on her favorite wheel—which is clearly shown in the peculiar but most gr- tistic pen sketches lately made by Mr. Beardsley for Messrs. C. & W. McClean, the Remington bicycle representatives, one of which appears in to-day’s issue of the Post- Dispatch on the'bicycle page. Mr. Beardsley’s drawing is not only unique as an advertisement, but as a newspaper cut is out of the ordinary, and Messrs. C. & W. McClean, the general distributers of the magnificent Remington wheel, are receiv- ing congratulations on all sides for their beautiful ‘‘Aubrey Beardsley” announce- ments.

Prominent Party Leaders Declare the Fiat for the Primary Election Is Unprecedented. Your Uncle Filley seems to have at last succeeded in pulling his house down upon himself. The timbers and the bricks are falling and crashing all around him, but „De Ole Man' budges not, neither does he blink. He has been in more dangerous places before, and he has come out with only splotches of his cuticle here and there abraded. His trouble this time was caused by his headstrong determination to run the St. Jcseph convention to sult himself or not to have any convention at St. Joe or any other old town to elect four delegates-at- large to the St. Louis Convention. Gen, Noble hurls a poignard at him from behind the frowning breastworks of Gen. Geo. H. Shields whenever “De Ole Man” turns his head, and Col. Kerens has all of his heavy artillery trained upon him. But amid all the roar and crash of this furious fusillade Your Uncle stands grim and determined, confident of the perfect imperviousnesss of his armor and with his nerve steadied for deeds of greater daring than he has ever yet undertaken, for close in his rear is a reserve force commanded by that intrepid warrior and stalwart Fil- leyite, Col, Joseph Burbridge McCullagh, ready at a moment’s notice to move like a besom of — * the enemy should he become exultant. Uncle Filley showed that he knew his business when on March 20 he had his State Committee meet here and not only fix the dates and places for the two conventions, but also to ignore ward lines in St. Louls in the election of- delegates to St. Joseph. His enemies knew something had happened to them, but they were unable to tell what it was for fully two weeks. When they dis- covered what was intended to be accom- plished by the new method prescribed by the State Committee for fhe election of delegates in St. Louis they howled. Howling doing no good they roared. The jarring which the mosque would-have suffered by the roars from without was prevented by counter currents of air engendered within by Uncle Filley’s chuckles and loud gut- faws. Col. Billy Hobbs defined it as the “He! ha! and the “horse laugh“ which “De Ole Man” gave his enemies when he heard heir howls. : But the all-powerful boss of Missouri Re- blican politics gave his enemies a fit when i caused his City Central Committee to follow the lead of the similar Democratic organization in ignoring the Ryan law and arrogating to itself the right to absolutely r J.

I'm gure there is nothing for it to do. I guess we will hold our regular weekly meeting next Tuesday evening at Kletzker's, but if those para- nolacs don’t keep quiet I'm not certain we will meet at all.’ The gentlemen who signed the protest were almost to a man averse to discussing it. Nobody seemed willing to assume the — of having fathered the docu- ment, and those seen last night denied all knowledge of where or how the paper had originated. Gen. George H. Shields stated emphati- cally that he had merely signed the paper when it was presented to him because the methods of the Central Committee were in his opinion highhanded and unwarranted. “If there are any factional motives un- derlying the protest,“ he said, I was not and am not cognizant of them. I am not in politics actively and am not in favor of stirring up factional fights of any kind. I am interested in the welfare of the party and desire justice shall be done to every voter. For that reason I signed the protest. Just where it originated I do not know, but I do knoW that it bears the names of represen- tative men who are above dishonorable methods or tricker.“ : Col. D. P. Dyer was equally innocent o any knowledge of the motives underlying the protest and said that he had signed it in the interest of honest Republicanism. — Why,“ he said, what's the use of all this routine if the committee has its way. Mr. Kalbfell might as well take a lead pencil and make a list of the 108 delegates to the convention. According to the com- mittee’s scheme he will practically select the delegates any way, and so what’s the use of holding primaries. It is a most un- 1 proceeding, and every Repub- ican voter should put himself on record as opposed to it.“ The Republican voters who signed the protest are contemplating an even more sensational coup within the coming week. There are already printed and in Mr. Ker- ens’ office several hundred addresses to the Republican voters of Missouri. These will be circulated in St. Louis during the week and after being signed by local Republicans will be circulated throughout the State. These documents will set forth all the facts embodied in the protest, and call upon Missouri Republicans to aid in securing fair play at the St. Joseph convention. The ob- ject in sending these petitions out will be to apprise the county delegates of the methods of the city committee so that they will understand the condition of affairs when they ,come to pass on credentials at St. Joseph. These petitions would prove a drawing card should the protestors send on an independent delegation, as they threaten to do. There was a characteristic contretemps when John H. Blessing handed the protest to Chairman Kalbfell of the Central Com- mittee yesterday afternoon. Mr. Blessing, armed with the protest went up to the City Hall about 4 o’clock. He went to the City Plumber's office and asked for Mr. Kalbfell. rae of the clerks told bim that Kalbfell was ut. “Well,” said Mr. Blessing hotly, “he’s a city official and he ought to be here attend- ing to his work.“ The clerk referred Mr. neighboring saloon. He went there and — Kalbfell. Then followed this dia- ogue: Nr. Kalbfell, I believe, sir.“ “Yes, sir.“ “Well, sir, here’s something for you, and I demand an immediate answer, air.” Chairman Kalbfell took the paper, glanced ) over it and said: That's all right, sir. The committee will meet in a week or so and we'll see what we can do, Good day, sir,“ and Mr. Kalbfell disappeared through the side door. COULDN'T STAND ADVERSITY, A Jerseyman Lost His Savings and Cem mitted Suicide. Blessing to a GLOUCESTER, N. J., April 18.—Despond- ent because of the accidental destruction of $100, Justice of the Peace Henry E. Ban- croft committed suicide to-day by cutting his throat with a razor. Bancroft had hidden his money in a cigar box, and his son threw it in the fire as rubbish. LACLEDE REPUBLICANS, They Choose Delegates to State and Congressional Conventions.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. LINCOLN, III., April 18.~The Democratic advocates of ree coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 carried Logan County by a sweeping majority. They elected del- egates to the County Convention, which meets Monday to name the delegates to the State Congressional and Senatorial con- ventions. When the County Convention meets none but silver men will be placed on guard and no compromises will entertained. Ac- cording to poousation this (Logan) County is one of the strongholds of silver Demo- crats.

Twenty-Seventh Ward Democrats De- neunce Their Sedalia Delegates. — —„ The traitorous delegation of the Twenty- seventh Ward who went to Sedalia and vio- lated their instructions were ‘raked over the coals last night by the fighting con- tingent of the St. Louis Democracy re- cently organized in the Fist precinct. At a largely attended meeting of the club last evening the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, At the meeting at which the delegates to the Democratic State Conven- tion from the Twenty-seventh Ward a res- olution was offered by Dr. A. B. Barbee and seconded by Judge Pollard, which resolu- tion was unanimously adopted, pledging the delegates to the Sedalia convention to vote for no man who was not in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1 as a delegate to Chicago and to use all lawful means to send a solid delegation to the National Convention, and Whereas, The delegates from the Twenty- seventh Ward voted for Maffitt for dele- gate to Chicago and Lionberger for mem- ber of Committee on Resolutions, both of whom are “goldbugs,”’ Therefore, be it resolved, That we con- demn such action on the part of Messrs. Taafe, Hefele and Holland as not in ac- cord with their duty and in violation of their pledges and we, the Democrats of the 17lst precinct of the Twenty-seventh Ward, send greetings to Gov. Stone and the next President of the United States, Richard P. Bland, and assure them we have ever been loyal to silver at 16 to L A WAY SHOULD BE FOUND at Once. Great dissatisfaction exists because of the delay in beginning work upon Euclid av- enue Sewer District No. 1. The contract, which is the largest single contract ever let in St. Louis, is for $146,000. It was let. to Anderson Bros. and work was to have been begun Jan. 15, 1896, and completed by July 15, 1897. Three months are gone and nothing of consequence has been done. The district to be drained by this sewer is one of the finest in the city and com- prises 603 acres of territory lying to the northeast of the northeast corner of Forest Park. It will take over seventeen miles of sewers to drain this district. Sewer Commissioner Colby says there is no way to hurry along the contractors. have eighteen months in which to do the work a After that time they can only be fined for each day they are behind. 4 GOV. BOIES ATTACKED. | Iowa Democratic Paper Says He Should Not Go to Chicago. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MASON CITY, Io., April 8.— The Charles City “Citizen,” the leading Democratic paper of Northern Iowa, thew a bomb into the Democratic camp to-day. In a leading editorial it bitterly arraigned Gov. Boles and declared that “he will not do,” as a delegate to the Chicago Convention. It also demands the resignation of C. A. Walsh, secretary of the Democratic Centra] Committee, and wants the “sound money” Democrats to organize anew the State Cen- tral Committee, firing all free silver mem- bers. On account of the prominence of Editor Sloan the article has produced con- siderable consternation in the ranks of the party. HOT IN NEW YORK.

INCALLS, 1103 Olive Street. . Figge * 2 J 3 — : * PPE tS — — — DENTISTS. Did it ever occur to you that it pays to patronize a reliable dentist? l’oor dental work is dear at any rice. There is a gratify- ng number of people who THAT PAYS. believe that I am capable of giving them better work than they can get any place else. It is not a question of price with them, it is quality. My work is worth more than some other dentists. I suppose if I were not busy at my present prices— $7.00 per set for teeth, $5.00 for gold crowns, $2.00 for gold fillings and $1.00 for alloy fillings—I would have to do like many of my competitors—i-e- duce my prices and make up the differeore by using inferior materials and slighting the work. The de- mand for niy work is such that I can fix my own prices. I suppose I could get higher prices than I do if 1 desired, but I am making money as it is, and I believe in the old saying. Live and let live.’ I have many of the best families in St. Louls among my patients—that proves something. I have been practicing dentistry over 20 years and many of my original patients are still with me—that proves a great deal. I am busy all the time—that proves still more. I do not cater to people who care for noth- ing but price, but I want the important work cf good people who want good work. To them I offer a trained brain, devoted exclusively to dentistry, ard supplemented with the best facilities and the best equipment in this line. It means a great deal to have convenient offices and proper appliances for good work. It means a great deal to nave all tne latest improvements and materials to work with. It means a great deal to have everything syatema- tixed and to have a corps of competent assistants, artists in their various lines, ready at once to carry out my ideas and suggestions for my patients. There is every reason why I should do rood work, and lots of it, and that I should get a reasonalue price for it. DR. C. H. DUNNING, Proprietor MISSOURI DENTALCO. 0 600 OLIVE Sr., ST. LOUIS.

BELLEVILLE, III., April 18.—A riotous demonstration against the Salvation Army lasting half an hour took place to-night on the public square. A mob of several hun- dred hoodlums made rush after rush against the band of soldiers. The women were car- ried from their feet several times and were in imminent danger of being crushed. Capt. Anderson blew a police whistle re- peatedly and sent for Chief Obst, but that official could not be found. Two officers made spasmodic efforts to quell the riot but made no arrests. The tumult was deafen- ing and could be plainly heard at the police station, a block away. Adam Gintz, the wealthy ex-brewer, was in the fore front of the disturbance ond followed the soldiers to their hall, where he attempted to force an entrance.

The insurgents, ‘ac- cording to official advices received by the authorities, left eleven dead on the field, including one officer. Col. Aldea recently engaged the insur- gents commanded by Lacret Collazo in the vicinity of Matanzas. The camp of the insurgents was captured by the Spanish forces. Details of the engagement have not been received, but it is known that the loss of the insurgents was very heavy. The insurgents recently burned sixty-eight houses in the outskirts of San Cristobal, in the Province of Pinar Del Rio. The Guerillas at the local plantation, Australia, near the town of Rosalia, thirty- five in number, recently engaged and re- pelled the insurgent band commanded by Amieve. It is estimated that fully 300 in- surgents participated in the conflict, and it is reported that they were compelled to retire, leaving 8 dead and 21 wounded on the field. Two of the Guerijlas were killed and five were wounded. ~ BRUTALLY BEATEN. Policeman Dunbar Uses His Heavy Pistol With Savage Effect. When John Hart, teamster, entered the Dispensary for treatment last night he re- sembled a stuck pig. Blood flowed from a number of scalp wounds and his face was discolored, and swollen out of ail propor- tion. Both eyes were nearly closed, all of which was due to Policeman Dunbar of the Sixth District and his handy pistol. Hart and his wife live at 4648 Easton. His father and his wife Mary, who is young Hart's step-mother, occupy the same remises. Young Hart never warmed to is “new” mother and they have seldom spoken. Yesterday afternoon they wrangled over some flat irons and Hart called his father’s wife down. She called Officer Dun- BADLY MUTILATED. A Drunken Man Falls From a Wagon and Is Badly Hurt.

PITCHER PARROTT WAS EASY Arlie Latham Made a Shew of Mimself by Bunting With All of the Bases Full. Cleveland defeated St. Louis in the third and last game of the opening series yts- terday. The final score was 11 to 4 in favor of the Spiders. Goo hitting by Burkett, McKean and Shearvun, the excellent pitching by Wilson and stupid ball playing by the Browns conduced to Cleveland’s victory. To Capt. Arlie Lathani more than to any other maa the Browns’ defeat was due. His fielding was not good, nor was his hit- ting strong, but these are minor points and can be overlooked. But when @ man who makes claim to being a base ball player bunts with three men on bases, no- body out and the opposing infielders play- ing in close, it is about time that a com- mission de lunatico inquirendo, was ap- pointed to investigate his mental condi- tion. Yet bunt with nobody out and the bases full was what Capt. Latham did in the fourth irning of yesterday's game. He forced Sheehan at the plate and ruined whatever chances St. Louis had of winning the game. When the cranks, who are supposed to. be Latham’s slavish worshippers, the hang- ers-on to whom his jibes and jests are supposed to be the very breath of life, saw the idiotic play they were ready to mob him. Only the possibility of Manager Diddlebock’s having ordered the play to be made prevented them from wreaking summary vengeance on Latham. After the game was finished a representa- tive ot the Post-Dispatch asked r. Did- dlebock who was responsible for the mon- stronsity. The manager said that Latham was. if the bleachers had known that sooner Latham would have heard from them, With all fairness to Mr. Diddlebock, Capt. Latham and the members of the team, id that yesterday's game was em im last place. Apparently the teain played as if every man on it was suffering from opiates. The attempt at team work was ludicrous. The base running was simply awful. Latham did the only decent bit of base work accomplished during the game when he stole third in the seventh inning: Even then the usually alert Cooley stood like a stoughton bottle on first and looked at Latham slide. Oh, it was a fine exemplifica tion of bot to play tail-end ball. It might do no harm to make a sugges- tion to Capt. Latham. The suggestion is that he cease playing a game calculated only to make Latham shine as a star of surpassing brilliancy and turn his attention towards developing a game in which no man shall be a star and the entire club shall work in‘unison. Evidently Mr. Latham is out to catch the crowd by the cheap meth- ods of a country fair fakir. He enjoyed great popularity in St. Louis during the ears of his connection with the old Browns. His chief attraction in those days was his ability to play ball. His end man min- strelsy was only a side issue. Nowadays burnt eork has superseded base ball ability. he 2805 tuation is. reversed the it must be 4 the sort that will, if persevered in, land h “better for \ 3t. Louls team and Capt. Walter Arlingion Latham. If the Browns are to play the same kind of ball that they played all through the Season they have a cinch on last place. When the crowd saw Parrott go into the box they felt that the game was already lost. Not that Parrott is not a good pitcher, He is. But it was not his day. A twenty-mile-an-hour wind was blowing in the pitcher’s back, and the crowd felt that youn 1 with his great speed, outh and strength, was the man of the our, 1 Experts have been praising his speed and likening him to Hawley all spring. The crowd wanted to see him tried under favor- able conditions. Reference to the report of the game in esterday’s Sporting Edition of the Post- ispatch will prove that this feeling was prevalent prior to the 2 The presenti- ment of defeat was fulfilled. Still Parrott would have won his game had e been accorded any support at the bat or on the bases. His support in the field was fair, although the Browns are credited with five errors.

Capitel Seciety in Force at New Bennings Track. WEATHER GOOD, TRACK FAST. Betting Was Done on the Nod, After the English Fashien— Favorites Were Bowled Over. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 18.—The Season of legitimate racing in the East was inaugurated with every auspicious cir- cumstance at the Bennings track this after- noon. The weather, the track and the racing itself could not have been better. The grounds, which have been idle for the past two years, have been improved until they equal in attractiveness and comfort- able appointments any of the smaller courses of the country. The spectators included many of the prominent officials of the city and the cream of the social circles, while from New York and other Eastern points came those whose names are always mentioned when clean, honest, high class racing is dis- cussed. There was no lack of betting and everyone had the chance to lay his money, although no gambling paraphernalia was in sight, the system of betting by the nod, carried out in the East last season, being in vogue. The sport was meritorious. Starter Flynn got his fields off in good shape and each race but one was won in a drive, thus lending the excitement which the d. ing away with the noise and clamor of the betting ring prevented. The steeple- chase was well jumped, but Richards, the favorite, broke down at the jump after the water, when he seemed to have the race at his mercy. Favorites were consecutively bowled over, not a first choice winning. The Blue and Gray handicap was won easily by Paladin. The other winners were Pre- mier, Her Own, Brisk and Mars Chan, Summaries: First race, purse $300, 3-year-old and up, five furlongs—Premier 109 (H. Griffin), 4 to 1, won; Halton 121 (Sims), 2 to 1, second; Mangrove 118 (Ballard), 4 to 1, third.

RACING AT MEMPHIS. Buck Massie Won the Handicap in a 1 Drive. MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 18.—A holiday throng of 7,000 visited Montgomery Park to-day. There were seven races on the programme, all of which were hotly con- tested. It was bookmakers’ day, as only two first choices, Robert Latta and Buck Massie came home winners. The weather was fine and the track fast. The Peabody handicap, at a mile and a sixteenth, brought only three starters to the post. Buck Massie was a pronounced favorite, while Maurice had quite a fol- lowing. A prettier race was never run at Montgomery Park. Massie took the lead at the start and maintained it to the far turn, where Maurice came up on even terms with the leader. From the head of the stretch to the wire, the two horses, under a tremendous drive, ran nose and nose, and in the last jump Thorpe fairly lifted Massie in a winner by a very short head. Summary: First race, selling, purse, $400, for 2-year- olds, four and one-half furlongs—Manzanita, won driving, by a nose; Chappie, second; Gallilee, third. Time, 57. Second race, purse $400, selling, for 4-year- olds and upward, one mile—Robert Latta won in a drive; Miss Clark, second; Mer- cury, third. Time, 1:44.

Probably the best two-year-old colt shown at the meeting is Scoggan Bros.’ Dunois. Horsemen are of the opinion that he is another Ben Brush.

The St. Louis Fair Association has is- sued a list of the acceptances so far re- ceived for the Inaugural Handicap to be run on May 9. A number of owners have not yet accepted the weights allotted to their horses, but Secretary Aull has stated that such as are subsequently received that bear the postmark of April 11 will be admitted. Those already received, however, insure a grand struggle for the rich stake. Horses are beginning to come in rapidly for the big meeting, and the demand for the stable room threatens to Literally swamp Secretary Aull. Gilbert Morris, in charge of A. H. and D. H. Morris’ etring of seven horses, arrived on Friday from the South. All the nags are in splendid condition. Judge Joseph A. Murphy is expected to arrive Monday from Callfornta. It is announced that sealed bids for the betting programme, refreshment and other privileges will be received until April 25, when they will close.

Prof. Bill Clarke formally opened the Na- tatorium Swimming Sch at Nineteenth and Pine streets last night. A varied enter- tainment was given by the accomplished divers and swimmers whom Prof. Clarke has engaged to superintend the curriculum at the Natatorium during the coming sea- son. An attractive feature of the pro- gramme was the high and fancy diving done by Lee Schuyler, the champion diver of St. Louis. Young Schuyler is but a boy, yet he is ambitious to jump off the Eads Bridge some day this coming summer when the 3 Are asleep. Last night he met with an accident. While diving a high dive he struck e water too sharply, and shooting through®cut his head severely by contact with the bottom of the pool. Notwithstanding that the blood flowed in streams from the wound he pluckily fin- ished his exhibition. The other features were a half-mile swim- ming race between Carl Herrick and Charles Murphy. The lights went out as the pair finished, and the judges could not decide on the winner. — SCHAEFER AND DALY. They Defeated Ives and Garnier at the Balk-Line Game.

The Bookmaker Does Not Win by Luck But by the Mest Careful Calculation. There are puzzles and puzzles to the or- dinary race-goer, matters that are as plain as day to the regular. The difference be- tween the regular and the ordinary race- goer, or casual,“ is marked. The latter patronizes the track only on high days and holidays and loses his money like a Ut- tle man, forgetting all about it next day, while the whole life and being of the reg- ular is bound up in the horses. The classes can be readily distinguished at the track, especially in the betting ring. The ordi- nary mortal, unless he be a Board of Trade man, is apt to get a bit rattled when he gets tangled up in the din and apparent confusion of the ring between races. He wants to bet on some horse, he cares littie which, so long as he has some money down. He is ready to take any kind of a tip, and after getting his tip, is willing to accept any price offered against his choice by the first bookmaker he comes to. He does not stop to figure that the odds he re- ceives are unfair and do not properly rep- resent the retio between his chances of success or loss. Not so the regular. He makes up hig mind as to the horse he wants to play, either as the result of sta- ble information or careful study of the form of the contenders, the ability of the jockeys, the chances of the owner “trying” at the price, etc., and then proceeds to bet. But he studies all the slates and if he thinks the bookies are too tight in their 8 it is with extreme reluctance that e puts up his money. For the genuine “regular” is as quick at ztudying the per- centage of a slate as the bookmakers themselves. 8 Nearly every one who has visited a rac track has frequently heard the bookmak- er's percentage mentioned, but few * the process at which the 8 18 reached. The odds offered by the k- maker are supposed to be a reflex of the relative ability of the horses, or rather the relative positions they occupy in the public mind. Frequently the public is a bit off in its calculations and backs a horse at 2 to 1 who should be at 6 or 8 to 1. Such a horse is.what is cailed a false favorite. Bookmaking is a science and it takes a sharp, shrewd man to win at the game. Many of the successful “Bey have been called lucky.“ but scratch lucky book- maker and you will find a shrewd fellow sometimes unscrupulous, but as a general rule as honest as his fellow man. For it is an axiom of the turf that the crooked man is sooner or later landed,“ or broke. Nearly every bookmaker in the country relies mainly on his percentage for his profit. A few “hold” horses—that 18, refuse to accept money offered on them— but the vast majority prefer to have every horse in e field backed. In this way, with a’ well-regulated book, they are sure to quit winner to any horse in the bunch. To do this, they must regulate their prices and do so with a table of percentages, which each carries in his head. This per- centage is figured out in a very simple manner. The sum to be paid out on a bet of $1 at a given price is divided into 100, and the quotient is the per cent of that Eaten, The sum of the quotients obtained y applying the same process to every horse in a race, represents the percentage of the book on that race. If the total falls short of 100, the book is a losing one, or “Dutch” to the per cent of the deficit: if it exceeds 100, the excess shows what per cent the book Is a winning one. Ik, for instance, the total fs 110, the book is a 10 per cent winning book and with each horse played up to the same amount, the bookie will keep $10 out of each $100 he handles, no matter which horse wins. Take, for example, the following book: Horse. Ben Brush eeneeeeeneeaeeeeeeeee Ben Eder .scccscecss bees eee Don Carillo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Garland Bar eee eeeeeeeeeeeaee Falcon eseeeeepeeeeeeneeeeeeeee Captive QOS COOCSS SO SSO Serres Total eee eeeee ee ee „„ This shows the book to be a 5 5-6 — cent winning one, and with each horse p — up to the same figure the bookmaker will k $5.83 1-3 out of each $100 handled. Thie r t is obtained as follows: 3 * 1 equals 3; 100 divided by 8 equals 4 plus 1 equals 5; 100 divided by 6 equals 2. 4 plus 1 equals 5; 100 divided by 8 equals 20. 15 plus 1 equais 16; 100 divided by 16 equals 5 plus 1 equals 16; 100 divided by 16 equals plus 1 equals 5; 100 divided by 5 equals 20. But to preserve his percentage the book must be perfectly rounded; that 18, 80 con- ducted that when the race is run the same amount must tor plus the amount he wins. With a play of $2,000, a book at the above prices be perfectly rounded would have to be made up as follows: Horse. | Pay. | Odds. | Loss.

Where a bookmaker is “in bad,” or, in , other words, has had a h horse at a higher price Se. have get out laid, he is frequently enabled to through taking advantage of a trait of human nature. On ev t there is a big crowd of men who have little of the merits of the horses, or who hay ttle confidence in their own whiee men are easily swayed in bet their mon- ey. If a certain horse is 4 to 1 all around the ring and a bookmaker wi to take a chance wants that horse p at 8 to 1, his first step is usua to have some friend make him a straw of $600 80. He will take the money and give ticket, at the same time cu the to3tolor5ito2. At the same have his own commissioner go out start to play the horse $100 at a clip. The missioner will go to the most timid booki in the ring—men whom he feels wi not only refuse his money, but the price. He may bet all together $200 on the horse, but nine times out of ten achieves his object. He has started the un- decided element in the ring to betting that particular horse, the price is down and he is enabled to round out book so it will show a profit.

When these “loud” en- velopers of the lower limbs first made their ap rance in the local cycling world their pattern and the “loudness” of their color- ings were sufficient to be heard a block away. But they were as a shower to a tempest in comparison with those of this season. The “louder’’ and more startling the coloring of the stockings, the happier the real cycler. Scotch plaids have given way to figures, do alarming that they have in some few cases been known to fairly frighten the little canines who yearn for a mouthful ofanether limb. However, they serve their purpose in more than one case, for they permit Johnny Matchlegs“ to ride a bicy- cle in cycling costume without suffering the stings of calumny and criticism always heaped upon the u{fortunate possessor of a pair of ‘“‘matchlegs’’ by the irrepressible small boy. In the production of these stockings the American manufacturers are up to date, and their patterns vary from the gloomily plain to the hideous, Owing to the unusual weight of these stockings many riders have been unable to wear them, but it need not be so much longer, as a new fgotless stock- ing hus been procured, go that the rider can wear his own sock, and at the same time sport his favorite golf stocking. + 7. *. There is something wrong about the bicy- cle store that is not doing a land-office busi- ness at present. Either it is not properly advertised, or else it ig badly located and hard to find. It is safe to say that the old established dealers were never so busy, and that notwithstanding the precautions taken to place large advance orders because of the trouble experienced last season there is al- ready trouble in securing wheels ordered. In some instanceg dealers have found it necessary to take a trip to the factory in order to be on the ground personally and secure wheels through their persuasive elo- quence, which could not be obtained by writing. The enormous number of low and medium priced machines on the market has lowered the value of second-hand machines to such an extent that many who intended disposing of their last year’s mounts and getting a ‘ pattern may “vk Ag that luxury because of the sacrifice which it would be necessary to make. The great increase in the number of cheap machines, however, apparently has no effect on the sale of the $100 variety, for the makers of high grade machines are al- most without exception turning out a great many more wheels this year than ever be- fore. There is room for every price and grade of machine, and the influx of so many low- priced bicycles simply opens the field to many who once were unable to indulge be- cause they could not afford to do so. A pur- chaser can be found this year for every- thing, from the wheel decorated with silver ornaments down to the second-hand crock, which is apparently fit for little else than a place in the junk shop. > — „ “A great deal of unnecessary 9 is being wasted on the poor bicycle manufac- turer On account of the beastly weather,” said a well-known local dealer yesterday. “Of course, everybody admits that the weather has been worse than bad, and we are all disgusted, but the makers are not suffering a particle on account if the back- ward spring. In reality this weather has been a great thing for the maker of the bi- cycle, for, astonishing as the statement may seem, there are few of the large makers who are ready to meet the demand for wheels. As soon as the fine weath- er sets in the rush for bicycles promises to be tremendous, and few of the makers will be able to supply the demand. Why, some of the new firms, which expected to have wheels on the mar- ket in goodly numbers before this, will be lucky if they get many ready for the buyers much before July 1. You see they cannot get the parts.“ a 0 © Tandem riding is a good thing and needs pushing along. According to a well-known manufacturer, there will be more tandems constructed in this country during the sea- son of 1896 than anybody has any idea of. Some people take to tandem riding, when they will not consider the idea of cycling on a single mount. It is a pleasure indeed 16 wheel along in this companionable sort of way, and the exertion is no near so trying as the single wheel. Tandem riding is be- coming eminently popular. . . * Cycle racing will be run in 1896 under somewhat changed conditions from those which existed in 1895. There will be only two classes, the amateur and the profes- sional, and the former will be so strictly under surveillance that it will not be safe for the pure amateur to transgress the rules. The amateur will be confined closer, the valuation limit of his prizes will be $15 lower, and he will be compelled to be what the name implies, an amateur, in all senses of the word. Throwing into the profess onal ranks is no? going to suffice with the Rac- ing Board this season. Summary punish- ment will be inflicted besides. The man will be suspended for a time from all rac- ing—this for gaining goods under false pre- tenses, as it were—and when his punishment is ended he will be cast in with the profes- sionals. Professionals will be watched by an eagle eye, and their every act will be noted.

BICYCLE LEG. ISN'T PRETTY. It Grows. Muscular, but Not Graceful in Form, „ — Neither Venus nor Adonis, according to the best authorities, were ever adicted to the bicycle habit. They had a few outdoor diversions, to be gure, but Adonis never made a century run, and there is no record that Venus was ever distinguished in her set as a scorcher. Had they been they never would have gained the reputations they did as artists’ models, In one season of moderate road riding they would have acquired hopelessly the bicycle face, which would have injured their standing in the udios, and in two years they would have eveloped the bicycle leg, which would | LOCAL L. A. U. MATTERS. The C 1 ve a Diseppoiat- our ‘aaah as 8 Membership Stimulant. The expected big increase in membership which the St. Louis county tour wag to bring about did not materialize, as less than thirty new members were enrolled last Sunday. A quantity of the handsome mileage books which were given away as souvenirs have remained over and it has been decided to present each new applicant for membership or each old member who renews his membership with a copy as long as the supply lasts. This should have its effect in stimulating the renewals. Samples of the book can be seen at all the cycling agencies, where either applications or re- newals will be received. The book will be mailed from the division headquarters. It has also been decided to order a quantity of lapel buttons, which will be sold to the members at cost. A circular to this effect will shortly be issued. In poi of membership Missouri now ranks fift and is more than holding her — — — — — — have ruined them forever. An oil paint- ing of Venus rising from the sea with a r of bicycle limbs would have looked well enough in the studio of a professor of prize fighting, but it would never do in an art exhibition or a drawing-room. The bicycle, although it is not so generally known, leaves its trade-mark just as in- delibly on the limbs of its patrons as it does on their faces, and it makes no dis- tinction in the sex. The bloomers of. the veteran hide a multitude of corded, knotty muscles that never were there before their owner first mounted her wheel. They de- note courage and strength and stamina, but they fall sorrowfully in adding to the grace and beauty of the veteran’s figure. The calf of the leg is similarly affected, and from the knee merly was tapering and beautiful to look at is not pleasing to the eye. The bicycle leg, however, is of slow growth, and if one exercise a proper care he or she may disguise it so that it is noticeable only to the expert and the shoe clerk. “Scorching”’’ is the primary cause of the bicycle limb. That, more than anything else, tends to develop the muscles and pro- duce the appearance of strength and en- durance rather than grace and beauty. The professional scorcher knows better than to develop the hard, knotty muscles. When in training, his great anxiety is to keep the muscles of his leg soft and pliable and yielding. His greatest speed is reached when his legs, according to other athletic standards, are totally unfit. But the ama- teur scorcher does not appreciate this. She spurts furiously down the boulevard three or four blocks and then stops to cool off. That hardens and stiffens the muscles and in time the bicycle leg becomes as incura- bly conspicuous as the bicycle face. ou can see them any day on the boule- vard and out at Forest Park. Framed in bloomers they are more apparent to the unpracticed eye, but in the short, gay skirts they readily may be distinguished from the old-fashioned variety.

Manufacturers New in the Field Have Taken Hold. The uncertainty of the racing question has been settled since last Monday by one of the biggest schemes to boom profes- sional racing ever promoted in this coun- try and the prominent makers who have combined to kill professional racing will find their plans thwarted at the start. Billy Herrick, who last year had fifty men under his.control, is authority for the statement that the idea of not employing racing men on account of the abolition of Class B was due to the fact that at the outset of the season the large makers neg- lected to make terms with the better class of racing men and now find themselves out in the cold, The leading cracks have been picked up by the younger manufacturers, who, 642 1. the amount of interest that is being taken in cycling this season, see the value of racing teams as an advertis- ing medium. About a score of these firms have determined to carry on professional racing and have employed many of the best riders in the country. This immense project to boom profession- al racing will undoubtedly do more for the sport than even Class B did, besides insur- ing the best.series of attractions ever yet offered to the public. ELKS CYCLING CLUB. ‘ The Latest Organization Promises to Liven Things Up a Bit. The latest addition to the bicycling clubs of St. Louis is the Elks Cycling Club. Of course, it was a foregone conclusion that the Elks would soon fall in line, as they have a reputation to maintain of never let- ting a good thing pass. Although the club numbers many riders it never occurred to them to organize a cycle division until re- cently, but when the plan was broached, no time was lost in putting it into execution. At a meeting heid at the club rooms Thursday night the following officers were elected: P. &. Plant, President; A. M. Ba- ker, Vice President; Andrew Naughton, Treasurer: C. M. Seiph, Secretary; A.

Indorses Cycling. — — — Writing of cycling for women, Sir Benja- min Ward Richardson, M. D., F. R. S., de- clares in the London Lady thet he favors the sport. “There was,” he writes, “At first an objection to it. It was thought to be toe severe an exercise, and the practice of it was contrary to the feeling that had long existed in reference to the recreations which ladies should follow. There is no occasion for surprise at this feeling, for it must be admitted generally that women are much more conservative than men, and that there must be a strong demonstration of any kind in regard to recreations, however use- ful they may be, before women in consider. able numbers become, on their own part, partakers in the change. “More than this, it has happened that the character of the change in the instance of cycling as not been from the t ofa at ladies were especially ly to To cycle wel 4 sa “fi "ph ber a prove one to any d “These ideas, which were prevalent throughout both sexes, have now, fortu- nately, passed — away, and we have come to the conclusion that, under judi- cious Management, a woman, just as well as a man, is capable of enjoying physical exercises and pleasures without being trans- formed into an Amazon, or made 80 es- sentially different from other members of her own sex as not to be recognized, in the ordinary way, as a woman. It is not necessary to trace out step by step the modifications of thought and cus- tom that have led to these changes of opin- ion, because it ig now admitted that noth- ing except false training and a rooted but false doctrine could have ever given rise to the old views which have, for so many cen- turies, prevailed. We agree now that wom- en, as a matter of recreation, may cycle. We do not push it that they may work at the cycle, try to carry heavy loads by it, or race out of wind, so that they may per- form quicker than any one else the feat of beating, either in distance or in time, pro- fessional male riders. „„I have occasionally heard of women who have taken long rides, and, if I am not mistaken, one of these actually accom- plished 150 miles in a day; but it is conceded that moderate exercise on the cycle is good for both sexes, and I shall not be stating what is far from the truth when I say that long-labored or furious cycling is just as bad for one sex as for the other, ‘Admitting this much, we have to con- cede that ladies ride a bicycle better than they do a tricycle. We first suppenes that women could only work a tricycle, and we were surprised at seeing how well they managed that machine—what a good pace they got out of it, how readily they man- MASCULINE. own, and if all the members renew she will have close to 2,500 members when the renewal season expires on May 31.The latest St. Louis applicants are as follows: James Laux, F.

Now that they ride the bicycle I or one am bound to say that my admira- tion is still greater at the manner in which they manage that machihe. They mount splendidly, they work thoroughly’ well, they manage the gri.dients with excellent art, and I feel sure that they look more grace- ful in riding the bicycle than the tricycle. “As regards dress, it is necessa that | there should be a modification which shall render riding easy as an accomplishment, and there can be no doubt that, so far, men have had the advantage, in that they could wear clothes which were best fitted for pro- gression at a good rate. But there is no reason whatever, except an absurd spirit of fashion, why a woman should not adapt her attire so as to make it at once as comfortable and convenient as a man can make his. An elegant dress, consisting of knickerbockers, a skirt descending to the knees and a becoming headgear, is all that can be required, and is so conveni- ently adaptable that any woman can wear it with ease and propriety. “I have seen one so attired pass along in the best style, and, whether walking or riding, being in every sense of the word resentable, and if there have been errors n dress, their faults have been entirely their own. “From fifty to sixty miles a day is a sufficiently long ride for the experienced of either sex, and it is foolish for a,woman ever to attempt more under the circum- stances at this moment existing.“ — 2 — r MERCURY WHEEL OLUB.

BUSINESS MEN KICK. Streets That Are in Bad Condition— Locust Street Daily Inundated. Business men who daily make their trips to and from their offices, stores and work- shops awheel are complaining about the bad condition of the streets in the down- town diatrict, especially Olive and Pine, east of Thirteenth street. The majority of riders come from the West End via Locust street. At Four- teenth street they turn north to Locust or St. Charles or south to Olive, which streets take them directly to the heart of the busines center. The Twelfth street crossings of both Olive and Locust streets are in an abominable condition. The Olive street crossing, even on the finest days, resembles the environ- ment of a horse pond more than the inter- section of two of the principal thorough- fares of a metropolis. It is next to im- ossible for even the most expert and care- ul riders to make the crossing without fall- ing. The Locust street crossing is t as. ba but as most of the bicyclists ride down Olive street, it ig not of so much consequence. As to Locust street, that haven of the wheelman, it is in fine condition. The only trouble is that the man in the sprinkler which saturates the I between Twenty-ninth and Fo streets turns loose the flood gates of his engine and deluges the entire street. The Superintendent of Sprinkling has decreed — ] 8 1 | +F 10 ai Se »* 8 1 . 5 * 1 : 5 4 2 77 Hee 8 1 1 9 > ; — 8 K . 5 | 55 xt 38 nF 5 fate ———— ean” initial smoker was voted a great suc- All the boys were surprised to see the new | plane, which fits moat convenientiy into an alcove.

The win- ter’s accumulation of mud still lies on the wood pavement, and every trip the sprinkler makes riding a matter of life or death. Grand avenue, north of St. Louls avenue, is being repaired with gravel and macadam, and affords at present very 1 riding.

It is light and speedy and gives every promise of perfec? success. Taking a wheel weighing twenty-seven pounds, Mr. James O’Brien, inventor of the electric bicycle, has added a battery, motor and switchboard, which together bring the weight up to sixty pounds. The battery, which is known as *he dry chloride, is the main part of Mr. O’Brien’s invention. Its weight is about fifteen pounds, which is considerably less than anything used in previous experiments. With this battery a force can be maintained which will carry the bicycle over rough country roads, up hill and down hill, for a period of forty- eight hours. The speed of the electric bicycle is prac- tically unlimited. It has been tested up toto nearly fifty miles an hour, faster than which no one has yes dared to try it. From the illustration it will be seen that the electric attachments occupy compara- ports the case of one enthusiast who landed a total of eighty fish of these two species in a little over three hours’ fishing, and says that as yet the fish show no coyness in their chase of the treacherous miller and seductive minnow. This encouraging news from Supt. Grimes will probably have the effect of bringing many visitors to the lake the coming week if the weather remains as it has during the past ten days. The accommodations at the lake are on a par with those of any other resort frequented by St. Louis fishermen and the facilities for reaching the spot are well known. A party from St. Louls made a visit to Kampsville, on the Illinois River, early in the week and had one good day’s fishing. The catch was not a remarkably large one owing to the water being in a slightly muddled condition, but the game secured were of a size and condition that augurs well for the sport at that point when the point just at present, but the other well- known resorts further up this ideal fisher- man’s stream will, no doubt, be in season very soon. When the Meramec is clear there is no stream near the city that can and does furnish as fine piscatorial sport. Reports from Alton Slough, Chouteau Slough, Breese Lake; Long Lake, both at Stallings and Mitchell, are to the effect that the fish are biting. well and that hand- some strings have been the rule during the week. The news from Breese is especially favorable in this respect, and what is true of Breese is doubtless true of the others as they are all neighboring waters and mem- bers of the same chain of lakes. As they are the easiest fishing grounds for the one-day fishermen of the city to reach they will no doubt have a large list of visitors dur- ing the next few days.

WNESS MILNE'S STORV. Inquest Continued Until Menday When Johnson, Who Is 4 Prisoner, Will Testify in His Own Behalf. There seems to be yery little doubt now that Attorney Charles Donahoe was beat- en to death. The police believe that John E. Johnson was the man who did it. Capt. Joyce of the Third Police District gathered the evidence for the Coroner on the first inquest, which was held Tuesday afternoon in the Third District Police Sta- tion. The only witnesses were Prof. Thomas H. Sims, Carl W. Pohlman, John E. Johnson and Mrs. Shepherd. Yesterday Capt. O'Malley introduced two new witnesses in the second inquest. The first was Clay G. Milne, a clerk in the John McCloskey Carbonating Works and living at 200A Washington avenue, who said that he had seen Donahoe stagger and fall Saturday midnight at Twenty-second and Chestnut streets while standing among two men, one short and the other tall, and a woman. He identified the men as John E. Johnson, the prisoner, and Carl Pohl- man and the woman as Mrs. Shepherd. When he saw Donahoe fall he went across the street to where he was lying and started to pick him up, but as he did so Johnson approached him and said: “Well, you — — —, do you want some of that, too?“ es, you „ I'U take a little.” Milne jumped to his feet, but as he did so, John- gon recognized him, and they shook hands, after which Johnson was led away by the tall man and Milne went to his home and went to bed. Capt. O’Malley’s other important witness was G. W. Beckett, an engineer in the fac- tory of the Claes & Lehnbeuter Manufac- turing Co., Twenty-second street and Wash- ington avenue, where Victor Kamenzind is employed as night watchman., Kamenzind has all along told the police that all he knew about the matter was that he saw Donahoe come rushing up the street at mid- night Saturday while very drunk, and that he bumped his head against the stone wall of the church on the opposite corner, and then fell to the sidewalk unconscious. Beckett yesterday testified that Kamen- ind had told him Wednesday that if he were to tell all that he knew about the inci- dent it would cost some one $3,000. The next morning Beckett said that Kamen- zind had told him that in keeping his mouth closed he was saving some one $8,000, and probably a—then Kamenzind drew his fin- er across his throat, indicating a hang- ng. When Kamenzind was placed on the stand he tried to deny everything, but fin- ally admitted having made the remarks to Beckett. He said he did so because a negro in the saloon across the etreet had told him — Johnson and Pohlmann had killed Dona- oe. Prof. Sims retold the story he had re- lated to the newspapers during the week, to the effect that when he alighted from a Lindell car he saw two men and a woman quarelling over the prostrate body of a man which was lying on the sidewalk near the church at Twenty-second and Washington avenue. When they noticed him they walked toward Lucas avenue on nty-second Street. The inquest was then continued until Mon- day morning when Johnson, who is held as a prisoner, will be given a hearing. Pohl- man and Mrs. Shepherd will also testify. SENATOR VEST AT WORK. Thinks He Will Get What St Louis Asks for the Rivers. ‘Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 18.—Senator Vest is working on the amendments to the river and harbor bill desired by St. Louis, and it is said by those familiar with the measure that the amendments desired will be incorporated. Mr. Web Samuel started for St. Louls to-night with the assurance that the bill, when reported to the Senate from the Committee on Commerce, will carry practically what St. Louts asks for. Incidentally it is said that Congressman Clark, the Republican member of the House Committee for the First Missouri District, would come in for a lively hauling over the coals for his alleged carelessness in failing to cage adequately for the Miasouri and Mississippi, but Mr. Clark professes entire indifference, saying that he did the best pus- sible under the circumstances, and that ahy attack on him will be political in its source. The chances are that the bill will not be completed before the middle of the week, and it may require ten days longer. The Observed of All Observers.

SHERBROKE, Quebec, April 18.—The Quebec Central bridge crossing the St. Francis River has been swépt away by ice and high water. It is roughly estimated that the loss of the St. Anselme bridge and this one represented a damage of at least $100, 000. THREE RIVERS, Quebec, April 18.—The greater part cf this town is inundated. Ice is piled in great masses in the streets. The gas-works are flooded and fires extin- guished. The electric light station and Water-works are also threatened.

How the “Old Men” of the Sixteenth Ward Jerked the Youngsters Straight. The once kindly relations between the Old Men’s Sixteenth Ward Republican Club and their ardent sons whom they thought in the way they wanted them to go have become taut to the point of straining. Ihe young men think they arrived at the age of discretion several elections ago, when they organized the Young Men’s Republican Club for the coming political frays, in the hope of securing some of the usufruct for their labors in the political vineyard. Charles Wenneker, ex-Collector of the Internal Revenue under Harrison’s adminis- tration, is the committeeman of the ward, and though by no means an elderly man, thinks he is mature enough to boss the whole lot, and the edict has gone forth that his O. K.“ will have to be on the collar of eve delegate from the ward to the St. 82 convention. To this the young Republicans demurred and asserted that they would name an opposition delega- tion. The line had been tightly drawn in the nomination. for school director, and the seniors’ candidate, Henry Droste, was worsted by Charles H. Mertens, the favorite of the juniors. Mertens is the candidate whom the parti gan Republican School Board is so afraid won't be elected or counted in that they positively refuse to allow the Democrats any representation on the list of judges and clerks. When the juniors talked of putting up an opposition ticket to St. Joseph against the Old Men’s or Wenneker delegates, they were told that they would be treated to the same dose that the School Board gave the Democrats in the candidacy of Mertens, and that is they would have to put up 350 to list their delegation, then would not be al- lowed any judges or clerks at the primar- les. The juniors, conscious of their strength, were isposed to run a delegation despite this ominous threat, and when the seniors found it out they determined on a more drastic scheme. The youngsters were told in so many words if they persisted in buck- ing against Wenneker, that the old Men’s organization would to a man go to the polls on election day and slaughter their candi- date, Mertens. This was a stunner, but it was an ulti- matum delivered good and hard, and they saw they had either to come to time or lose their man Mertens. This they did yesterday, and concluded not to run an opposition delegation for the St. Joseph con- vention. TWO DIVORCE PETITIONS. The Ziegenfuss and Ries Families Find Marriage a Failure.

They were married on November 18, 1891, and separated in October, 1894 The petition sets out desertion and non-support as grounds for the divorce.

OHCHOROTOROROROHOROH| a9 — KNIGHTHOOD 6 “Tf you were an Englishman instead of an American,” said a skillful English surgeon after he had investigated those cures of deafness, to Doctor Copeland, “you would be knighted for your achievement in the science of medicine, It’s a pity you're not an Englishman.”’ Doctor Copeland opened the door of his consultation room and pointed to the long corridor of his office, at the moment thronged, almost crowded, with tients. ‘That, sir,“ he said, “is all the knighthood I want. The seal of the confidence of the people, the tribute of their gratitude.” And no monarch and no Senate could be- stow a more splendid distinction than the people are giving the Copeland physicians. From all over the continent, from the most distant cities, they are coming to place themselves under their care. From hundreds and thousands of happier homes they are sending to them wor of grateful testi- mony. - Sovereigns may be dilatory or ungrateful. The people never are. Straightway as it was certified that these physicians had indeed rolled away the stone rom the tomb of silence, they hastened in overwhelming numbers to confer upon them the distinction of their gratitude, their con- fidence and their fajth DR.

The Merchants’ Land and Improvement Company is also making a strong effort to locate site-seeking factories on its prop- ' erty just east of Calvary Cemetery. One of the largest bridge-iron concerns in the United States is now figuring on the pur- chase of ten or fifteen acres of this ground and the removal of the entire plant of the concern to St. Louis. The possibilities in this direction are vast And realty dealers should improve the op- ' portunities to bring the city to the front. On this subject a well posted business man said: “A city can never become really great without manufactures and the more it has of them the greater the city. The manufacturer is to a city what the farmer is to the whole country. He is the roducer of commodities that require sell- ng and handling and which are a source of revenue to the entire city.

In addition to this his workmen must be lothed, fed and amused; they must 6 on the street cars and they must have houtes to live in. They are a source of revenue to a City that is of vast importance to every interest. 2 In my opinien the several business organ- izations of the city should combine for the , end of mg St. Louis the man- A sing cen of the United States. Inis is an end which can be gained with much less effort than they imagine. If they tell the truth about the city’s hundreds Ot natural advantages in a convincing way and tell it often, they can make this city in less than ten years the first city in the United States in volume of manufactured product. “This is a problem worthy of the consid- era tion of the Real Estate Exchange.“ _MANCHESTER ELECTRIC LINE.

The natural lighting of the buding will be of the best, and three sides will be ex- posed. The interior will be in regular depart- ment store style, with no partitions of floor space will be slightly under 50,000 square feet. he interior finish will be of plaster, with Ornamental steel ceilings.

The heating will be by steam in what is known as the gravity system. There will be toilet rooms, with improved Sanitary plumbing, for both sexes in the Basement and on the second and fourth floors. \ The total cost of the building when com- pleted will be $55,000. The architects, Messrs. Grable, Weber & Groves, are now finishing the plans, and As soon as the foundations, now being put in, are finished they will begin work on the superstructure, with a view to finishing It by the close of the summer. A lease has been closed for the building to Max Schulz, the well-known South Broadway dry goods merchant, for a long term. Mr. Schulz will open an immense department store as soon as the buildin is completed, to be modeled somewhat at ter the establishment of the Siegel-Cooper Co. of Chicago. It is understood that Adolphus Busch, the millionaire brewer, is now having plans drawn by Architects E. Jungenfeld & Co. for a handsome business house in the same block. Mr. Busch bought one of the interior lots at the auction, and this will be the site of his building. COMING REALTY AUCTIONS. Important West End Business Lots ' Monday and Other Sales. To-morrow afternoon at 4 o' clock Henry Hiemenz, Jr., will séll the five lots at the southeast corner of Olive street and Boyle avenue at auction.The prominence and value of this corner is emphasized by the high- class character of the buildings on the other — and on the opposite side of the street. Large and handsome stores with an established business already there, remove any doubt as 12 the possible future of the property Mr. Hiemenz will sell. The fact hat the cars leave Olive street at this cor- ner would indicate that it will be the last business center on Olive street west of Vandeventer.

The St. Louls, Kennett aud Southern, a forty-five mile strip of railroad in the panhandle of Southeast Missouri, has been the object of a hard fight for possession recentiy, and for several days the road could not be operated because of the de- moraliza.tion, Col. S. W. Fordyce, President of the Cot- ton Belt, was appointed receiver for the road by Judge Wear, but Louis B. Houck, the superintendent, refused to obey the mandate of the law. When a sheriff ap- peared on the scene armed with the necés- sary papers, Mr. Houck agreed to turn over the road at 4 o'clock last Tuesday af- ternoon. This promise wes satisfactory to the sheriff and to Receiver Fordyce. At 4 o'clock, instead of giving posses- sion as he promised, Houck got out an en- gine and train and went out on the Campbell division, wrecked the cut the wires and so demolished things that trains could not pass over the track. Then at Kennett he took another 2 train and ran down to Carruthersville. A. J.

The International Arbitration Association, which was organized at Mercantile Club last Tuesday evening, represents, locally, au movement which is now general through- out the United States and Great Britain, Similar associations have been formed with- in the last month or two in the principal cities of the United States, and a conference of representatives from these associations was held in Philadelphia Feb, 22. This meeting was attended by such lead- ing men as Bishop Potter, Robert Treat Paine, Edward Atkinson, Lyman Abbott, Felix Adler, Washington Gladden and Her- bert Welch. Letters of cordial sanction were received from President Cleveland, Gen. Miles, Senator Sherman, Judge Cooley, Carl Schurz, three members of the Cabinet and many Senators and Representatives. The following resolutions were passed: “Resolved, That the common sense and Christian conscience of America and En- land agree that the time has come to abol- sh war between these two nations, Who are really one people. We invite both Govern- ments to adopt a permanent system of ju- dicial arbitration. We earnestly support the movement for a general meeting at Washington at an early date to promote this good cause, “Resolved, That the Executive Committee having charge of this conference be con- tinued and empowered to act and co- operate with a like committee from other societies of the country in arranging for the Washington meeting, with power to add to their number.“ A cable message of greeting was received from the Anglo-American Arbitration Com- mittee in Lendon as follows: Hearty greetings to our American kins- men who are celebrating Washington's Birthday. We join with you in doing honor to your national hero by advocating fra- ternal union through a permanent court f arbitration for the peaceful and honorabie adjustment of all differences arising in tho R family.

James Stanfield and attended by many of England’s best men. Letters of hearty commendation were read from Her- bert Spencer, James Bryce, Labouchere, Archbishop of Canterbury, Bishop of Dur- ham and others. 1 heartily hope,“ wrote Lord Rosebery, “that as a result of the recent friction be- tweer Great Britain and the United States, it may be found practicable to devise some court or machinery for arbliration to which the differences between ourselves and our kinsmen of the United States may be re- ferred.”’ Mr. Gladstone wrote as follows: “The con- viction and sentiment on the subject grow in strength from year to year in proportion to the growth of the monstrous and barbar- ous militarism in regard to which England has to bear no small share of responsi- bility.”’ It was thought proper that St. Louis should take part in the movement, and also be represented at the Washington confer- ence. Two preliminary meetings were held and a@rcular letters sent out to a number of leading St. Louis men. The responses were so cordial that a public meeting was de- cided upon, and this was held Tuesday nigit. The following resolutions were adopted after eeches by Mesrs. Leighton, Broadhead, itehcock and Revs. Snyder, Niccolls and Boyd: “Resolved, That as the sense of this meet- ing, the cause of humanity and the cause of conscience demand that the English speaking p le, united as they are by race, lan e and religion, should settle their national differences without resort to the arbitrament of the sword. “Resolved, That any differences or dis- utes arising between the United States and reat Britain, which cannot be adjusted by diplomatic agencies, should be referred to arbitration, and that a permanent tribunal for that purpose ought to be established by some treaty arrangement between the two nations. „Resolved, That an association be formed in the city of St. Louis to aid in forwarding — object indicated in the foregoing resolu- tions.“ A permanent association was formed, with Col. J. O. Broadhead as President, Prof. C. M. Woodward as Secretary, and an execu- tive committee of twenty-five. The Washington conference will consist of delegates from each State, equaling in number the Congressional * The urpose of the conference will de to urge he Administration and Congress to at once take action looking to the establiish- ment of a permanent tribunal for arbitrat- ing all disputes arising between Great Brit- ain and this country. The principle of interna‘ional arbitration is — new, but the plan of establishing a permanent court or tribunal is new. It is easily seen that the hot blood arising from trifiing incidents may gd wth war meas- ures before a proposal to uroltrate can be acted upon. On the contrary, if there be a permanent court ready at all times to take cognizance of any disputed matter diplomacy falls to adjust, te reference to that court would be a matter Of course. Some supercritical people say that there would be no final power to compel either ory to submit to arbitration or 40 abide y a decision when rendered. But these forget the erurmous * of established institutions, of public opinion and custom. It has become apparent, recently more than ever before, that the people of En- gland and the people of this country want peace.

Later a memorial! signed by a majority of the Members of Parliament was sent to this country, and was recog- nized and recommended in one of the Presi dent's messages. The French Government likewise sent a memorial to this country last summmer, propesias an arbitration eement. Eight other nations have offi- clally expressed their approval of arbitra- tion as a substitute for war. On April 6, Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, Cardinal Vaughn of Westminster and Car- dinal Logue of Ireland joined in a manifesto appealing to the American, the Irish and the English people to formulate public opinion into a demand for the establishment of a permanent tribunal of arbitration as the only substitute for the English-speakin races for a resort to the bloody arbitramen of war. The history of the Alabama claim, and the more recent Behring Sea dispute is familiar. In the one case we received all, or a little more than the damages we claimed in the latter case a judgment by st pula tion for $425,000 obviated the necessity of calling in commissioners. he sum, which its so insignificant as to not equal the loss by a single day of war scare, let alone war, has so far been refused appropriation by the Senate, for quibbling reasons, which will illustrate how war may be precipitated by inconsiderate legizla- tors. Senator Morgan objects that the amount is too large, that a part of it is due to American citizens, and between the lines he intimates that we would rather fight England than not. In the Venezuelan incident the declama- tions at Washington were that this nation was ready to spend blood and _ treasure without limit for a defense of the Monroe Doctrine. Our insistence was really that Fingland should consent to arbitrate. It thus appears that the administration at Washington, the Congressmen and the newspapers and talkers are so strongly in favor of international arbitration that they insisted upon going to war to enforce it. Among thé communications sent to the Peace Society of Boston during the Vene- zuela excitement was a poem opening with “Rally Round the Flag, Boys, each verse ending with in the cause of peaceful arb!- tratlon.“ Surely we must be in earnest about arbitration if we are so anxious to fight for it. Writing about the “ugliness of modern life’’ Oulda suggests that even war has lost its old time splendor@and picturesque- ness, and has become merely a scientific process for destroying men and material. Arbitration once established between the English-speaking nations, in whose hands rest two-thirds of the world’s commerce, other nations must follow. The era of dis- armament and peace would be at hand, THE “CARMEN” KISS. Naughty, Nice and Full of Olga Nether- seleful Bliss, Damme if I see the harm in that delight- ful kiss of Carmen—that intoxicating, joy- ous, juicy, Nethersoleful kiss; and if that be ranked as sinning, may my fate here find beginning, for I long to be a sinner, if that men have sinned in this“ Thus a stranger mused and muttered,pant- ing with the praise he uttered of the merry English maiden in the garb of sunny Spain. All the Dons are not more fiery than this maiden, artful, wiry, supple, sinuous and Suggestive to the point of pleading pain. What of passion tame and flawless? Give me love that’s bold, though lawless—love that does and dares and doubts not, love that has no moods, no arts! Love that faltera is a trifle that a word or look can stifie—not the concentrated fervor of a hundred eager hearts! “Love that’s hopeful, calm and trustful is delightful, but the lustful, bold, tempestu- ous, urgent passion that can smile through bitter pain is the love that sways the nation and completes life's poor equation, gives us rulers, bards and heroes and delights that never wane. “Love there is of wives and daughters, soft as sound of flowing waters, love of sons for holy mothers, love of mothers for their sons, but there is a passion higher in its greatness of desire and the all-consum- ing madness that through every fiber runs. “Love that is not warm and eager, love whose kisses, cold and meager, still the beatings of the passion they were meant to multiply, may be virtuous and holy, fit for spirits meek and lowly, but its touch is sharp as poison to a being such as I. ' „Better on the fleld of battle die amid the cannon’s rattle than to moulder in the serfdom which the scholar’s mood con- tents. What though hostile fiends attack us? Prone before the rest of Bacchus we will chat the praise of Venus and the brimming joys of Sense! And to Carmen we will proffer life and all we have to offer, though there’s danger in the longing and dark madness in the kiss. Freely will we joy in giving. Fie upon the the thought of living! Who would longer live when, dying, he can reap a good like this?“ WILL HAVE TO WALK. The Black Crook ‘Company Disbands With Salaries Overdue. Members of the Black Crook Company, which showed at Havlin’s last week, will probably have to walk if they want to get out of St. Louis.

Springer, the proprietor, came to a head last Tuesday, when the Great West- ern Printing Co. attached all the properties. The attachment was secured from Justice Sheehan and Constable Dolan took legal possession of all the scenery and costumes, ut permitted their use in the performance until the close of the engagement. The attachment was for $125 alleged to be due for bill posters. Proprietor Springer owed Miss Helen Douglass, the leading lady, $970 at the time of the attachment suit. The amount repre- sented money advanced to him for the benefit of the company and back salary. To secure her he gave her a mortgage on all the properties and an order on the box office subsequent to the attachment suit. Then, in order that Miss Douglass might not replevin the goods, the printing com- any filed an attachment suit against her hursday in Justice Sheehan’s court. She accordingly could not make gath that the oods were being held without any proceed- Nes against her. o solve the difficulty Miss Douglass trans- ferred the mortgage to Lawyer Delano.

FOSTER THE MAN, True Story of a Meeting Between Two Well Known Missouri Journal- ists in 1875. Last Sunday’s New York Journal had a weird tale of a duel between Col. John W. Cockerill and Maj. John, N. Edwards, two old St. Louis newspaper men now dead, but men whose memories still live. The occa- sion for the narrative was the sudden death of Col. Cockerill in Egypt. : The yarn was an interesting one, but un- true in so far as it had to jo with Col. Cockerill. It had Maj. Edwards located in Kansas City, the duel was made to occut in 1879. Maj. Bawards was also wounded, ac- cording to the report, and only the barest outlines of the real affair could be discerned in the Journals’ story. The article, of course, referred to the duel fought in Winnebago County, Illinois, in 1875, by Col. John N. Edwards, then editorial writer of the St. Louis Dispatch, and Maj. Emory 8. Foster, then editorial writer of the St. Louis Evening Journal, and now Secte- tary of the St. Louis Board of Public Im- provements. Maj. Foster, when his attention was called to the New York Journal’s statement, said he remembered very indistinctly the par- ticulars of the affair, and asked Col. W. D. W. Barnard, who acted as his second in the duel, to look up his scrap book containing newspaper accounts of the meeting. Col. Barnard: did as requested and from the newspaper accounts found in his scrap book the following facts are selected: In the summer of 1875 the Secretary of the Fair Association of Winnebago Coun- ty, acting on his own responsibility and without authority from the directors, in- vited Jefferson avis to deliver an agri- cultural address at the opening of the fair, which was accepted by Mr. Davis, and an- nounced by the Secretary, Mr. Kimball, a Kentuckian by birth. When this än- nouncement was made, a storm of indigna- tion arose among the people of Winnebago County, especially among the women, who declared they would boycott the fair should . programme of Mr. Kimball be carried out, „ This aroused much bitter newspaper dis- cussion all over the country. An article appearing in the St. Louis Times of August 25, 1875, containing the following para- graph: We don’t blame the women of Winne- bago County so much for the fury that possessed them at the bare mention of the mame of Jefferson Davis. The bulk of them, no doubt, had in their houses at the time the invitation was extended, pianos stolen from Mr. Davis’ Mississipp! neigh- bors, and silver spoons with names upon them familiar to Mr. Davis’ eyes as house- hold words; and while he was a gentleman of too much good taste to seem by his manner even to recognize the fact, it would have been terribly mortifying to the aver- age of indignant dames if, in accepting an invitation to dinner or supper, he had chanced upon a house filled with the spoils of Sherman’s March to the Sea.“ : The Journal of the next day said: “The man who wrote that paragraph knew that he lied when he wrote it. He lied delib- erately and with the direct purpose of in- sulting the mothers, wives and sisters of men who served in the Federal army.”’ Ex-Gov. Thomas Reynolds called at once at the Journal office and demanded the name of the writer of the above state- ment, explaining at the same time that the Times article had been written by Col. Edwards for Mr. Hutchins, who was the owner of both the Times and the Dis- patch. * Foster declared himself the writer of the article complained of. Then ensued an extensive correspondence between Col. W. D. W. Barnard, acting for Foster, and Col. H. B. Branch, acting for Sdwards, who insisted that Foster should retract the offensive language in the Journal, referring to the writer“ of the Times article. Foster declared that he had no knowl edge that Edwards had written the Times article, and could not therefore properly be held to have intended to apply the lan- guage complained of to Edwards. More- over, he refused to retract anything as long as the Times article remained un- qualified. It appears that Foster when he wrote the word writer“ intended it to apply to Mr. Hutchins, and actually so wrote, but the name was stricken out by Mr. Hume, the managing editor of the Journal. At any rate, Foster refusing to retract, a formal challenge was sent him by Ed- wards, and it being accepted it was ar- ranged that the meeting should take place in Winnebago County, Illinois, on Sept. 4 1875, at 5 o’clock p. m. Each of the prin- cipals was entitled to two friends and a surgeon. The entire party left St. Louis on the game ‘rain, and it soon developed that, while Foster had with him only Col. Bar- nard and Dr. O'Reilly, Col. Edwards had with him Col. Branch, Dr. Montgomery and Mr. Mumford of the Kansas City Times. Col. Barnard thereupon telegraphed to Mr. Medill of the Chicago Tribune to detail a reliable reporter to meet him at the depot in Chicago on confidential business. When the party reached Chicago they were met by John W. Postgate of the Tribune, who ac- companied Foster to Rockford, near which place the fight came off. The following is an extract from an article written by Postgate for the Chicago Tribune of Sept. 5: “Upon arriving at Rockford both parties drove to the Holland House and partook of dinner. Maj. Foster retired to his room and wrote a letter to his wife and then lay down to await the termination of the conference between the seconds as to the best means of avoiding the authorities. As the time for the contest 1212 — he ap- peared not in the least discomposed, but bore himself as a man who had tried every means of making up the quarrel, but who was driven into a position from which he could not retire without fighting. In con- versation with the writer he stated he re- gretted tne affair very much. He had done everything in his power to prevent a meeting, and now responded to save him- self from street quarrels. Mr. Edwards and himself had for years been the closest friends, and their dispute was very un- fortunate. From what Maj. Foster dropped and from other sources, the writer wathered that the quarrel was more of a olitical than a personal character. Mr. Foster is a Republican of fine talents, which have been felt through his writings in the Journal and the Democrats—at least it appeared so from facts which the writer learned outside the parties—are anx- ious to get rid of him, at any cost, and availed themselves of this chance. “About 3 o’clock the seconds completed their arrangements. It was decided to drive five miles north on the Beloit road, and have the meeting in some secluded spot. * © The spot selected was a coupe of poneres verde west of the road, a beautiful- ly shaded valley, in which horses and cattle were grazing. he seconds took up position near a tree, and commenced to examine the weapons. The principals were a few rods apart, Foster reclining on a bank, coolly smoking a cigar, Edwards resting with his back against a tree, and conversing with Dr. Mumford, with whom he served in the Confederate army. * * Twenty ~paces was the distance. The positions were north and south, and were marked each f. a short stake driven into the ground. he seconds tossed up for ition, and for the call. Branch won the choles of position, and Barnard the call. * Edwards chose the squth for position, and the principals were placed by their seconds. “Both men at this point displayed marvel- ous nerve, Foster smoking his cigar in an unconcerned way. At length all was ready. At exactly 5 o’clock the men f h other, and took mental aim; then came ady r, disti ‘One, two.’ Before the en Grea almost sim » a. - ’ 4 * 9 Aae „1 * , ‘ot 2 he ee = — 2 iy... see . 2 E 0 he l * * a my : ide nee 2 N 2 4 ak * : #; * A — ; — 8 ‘ % o& ans ee on hones t A Ries ~ 72 n „ other fire, but Foster, having satisfied awardee demand for ‘satisfaction,’ had no 5 further demand to make. “after the interchange of a few words with his second, Edwards approached Fos- who was coolly awaiting the issue, and extended his hand. Foster clasped the of- fered hand, and the two men were left alone, seated upon the ground to talk it over. „ * The 28 then returned to their hacks, one plying towards Beloit and Other to Rockford.” The following is an extract from the tele- fram sent by the Edwards party from wrt to the Chicago Times, dated September and, proceeding on the to this place, Selected a grove five miles north of k- ford and about 200 yards from the road, where the ground was measured off and all Preliminaries arranged. It was agreed that One shot should be exchanged, and no more, unless both parties demanded it. * * * Everything being in readiness, the command was given and two reports rang out on the still evening air almost simul- taneously, but they left both the parties Standing upright and unhurt. ‘I demand another shot,’ cried Edwards immediately. A hurried conference was held between Col. Bernard and his pricipal, and it was then announced that Col, Foster declined to exchange further shots. * * * All par- ties then shook hands and left the: field. Perhaps no affair ever occurred in which more true courage and coolness were man- ‘fested on both sides. - Both shots were in line, but were too high.”’ The scrap book produced by Col. Barnard shows that this duel caused much comment in the press of all parts of the country, from Bostoh to New Orleans. Of course it caused immense excitement in Rockford, and the parties interested were all indicted by the Grand-jury there, but no demand was ever made by the Governor of Illinois for the surrender of the offenders. Indeed, it is believed that Col. Barnard, a relative and intimate friend of Gen, Grant, and at that time United States Bank Ex- aminer, had sufficient influence with the powers to hush the matter up and nothing has been heard of the indictments for more than twenty years. Foster and Edwards while seated together on the grass of that grove, north of Rock- ford, renewed a friendship which lasted without a break until the untimely death of the brilliant, generous and gallant ex- Confederate Major. A FEMALE FIBND, Cruelty to Sentenced for Life fer Grandchildren. OTTAWA, Ontario, April 18.—Mrs. Bell, for cruelty to her grandchildren, was to-day sentenced to life imprisonment. The charges against Mrs. Bell, which were roven at the trial, were that she nad pun- shed the two children, a boy of 14 and a girl of 15, with the most flendish tortures which malignant ingenuity could devise. — 7 ping them to the thinnest clothing she would soak them in water and compel them to sit before open windows when the tempera- ture was several degrees below zero, until their attire was frozen stiff. On one occasion the boy was kept at work in the cold, improperly clad, until his toes were frozen and dropped off. They were fed on victuals mixed with noxious fluids, like kerosine, turpentine and worse. When brought into court both children showed the effects physically and mentally of the agonies they had suffered. The dphenee of- fered was that Mrs. Bell inflicted only euch punishment as a parent or guardian had the right to do, but the jury pronounced her guilty and the full penalty of the law was meted out. MUST HEBD UNCLE sau The City Will Have to Abandon Its Dump Boats. There is trouble in gtore for Harbor and Wharf Commissioner Stone. There is a Con- gressional. ehactment Which prohibits the dumping of refuse matter into the rivers, and as that has always been done in . Louis, and must now be stopped, the situa- tion is somewhat embarrassing. Among other things the enactment says: It shall not be lawful te place, discharge or deposit by any process, or in any man- ner, ballast, refuse, dirt, ashes, cinders, mud, sand, dredgings, sludge, acid or any other matter of any kind other than that flowing from streets, sewers and passing therefrom in Hquid form, in the waters of any harbor or river of the United States for the improvement of which money has been appropriated by Congress.” For many years the city has maintained boats in the river for the sole purpose of receiving all kinds of dirt and refuse to be dumped into the river. Thousands of tons of dirt have been tossed into the Missi- sippi over the dumpboats and been carried off by the current to form new land some- where below. Commissioner Stone says that the dump- boats must be abolished. There are about 300,000 cart-loads dumped into the river an- nually, and a new place must be found. The Commissioner says as soon as he can he will present the matter to the Board of Public Improvements, and arrange to abandon the river dumping; Superintendent Macklind of the street department said: “That is just what should have been done long ago. It costs us more money ta haul our sweepings to the dumpboats than it does to gather them. “It will be a very easy matter for us to make arrangements with the railroads to haul off our dirt and take it to points where it is needed for filling. We can put our railroad dumps almost anywhere we please, and can certainly make our hauls much shorter and cheaper than they are. The vegetable stuff and all that sort of re- fuse can be pressed and rolled and sold to farmers for fertilizers,” POOLED THE OLD FOLKS. But Now All Is Forgiven and Gupid Has Full Sway. Wedding cards will be out to-morrow which will cause surprise among the friends of two well-known families. They will be unlike ordinary wedding cards, inasmuch instead of bearing the an- nouncement of approaching nuptials, they will set forth that the high contracting par- tles have already gone and gotten married. If Vital Garesche had not shown himself te be a very progressive young man and well- versed in the art of thwarting wary parents the anomalous wedding cards would not issue to-morrow. As it is they will be sent out, carrying with them the information that Vital Garesche and Katie Rowe were married Thursday, April 9. Vital Garesche is a son of Willi A. Gar- esche, the well-known attorney, € a grandson of A. J. P. Garesche. Miss Rowe is the daughter of Dr. 8. B.

The story hinres on the discovery by her- self that there is a strain of the slave in her, and the strong scenes of the play deal with the resolving of the problem present- ed of overcoming her love, or doing that which her soul revolts at, in marrying the man she loves without his knowledge ot ence walt.

When a New York reporter said to her one day, | in the production gives. an illuminated view How does it feel to be the prettiest woman in New York?’ she innocently answered, “How do I know? Why don’t you find her and ask her?“ When the reporter informed Miss Studholme that she was the proper person to answer that question, she re- plied: “Oh, I'm not beautiful. I'll tell you what I am; I'm just bonny. That's all.’ Whether are not Miss Studholme is an ex- ceptional beauty, or just bonny,” it is said to be a fact that a famous New York photographer cannot fill the orders for her photographs fast enough. Miss Studholme doesn't have to pay to have photographs taken. On the contrary, she is paid her- self for the exclusive right to take photo- graphs of her and to supply them to the dealers. Her photographs do not yet adorn the store windows of this city, but they're all over Broadway, and it is said that they sell better than any woman's photographs have sold since Mrs. Langtry was new to Miss Studholme is not one of the stately beauties.

And they say that she is the most cheer- ful and active young woman on the stage. The adjective young“ is used correctly here. Miss Studholme Is 22. Numerous stories are told to illustrate the cleverness of this exceptional young per- son. In An Artist’s Model” there is a cer- tain little scene that she has with one of the actors in that company. No one is on the stage save these two. The actor has to make his entrance while Miss Stud- holme is on the stage. One night, at the Broadway Theater, New York, it came time for this actor to make his entrance, but he d not appear. Miss Studholme, alone on 8 stage, looked apprehensively off into the wings. She did not see the actor. She filled in some time with an impromptu sol- jloguy, keeping her eyes on the wingss but the actor remained overdue. The little scene could not be omitted, as upon it do- ' pended an understanding of the rest of the play. Miss Studholme saw that the audi- perceived that there was a stage She quickly made up her mind what “Ah.” she said, “here comes,“ duced incidental to the rt peed ar with the naming the character played by the miss- clever treatment that Miss capable of story should be powerfully old.

At the end of the scene when others appeared on the stage, Miss Studholme got a tremendous round of applause.

This care is espe- cially manifest to che close observer in the big English burlesque productions like ‘An Artist’s Model.’ The other night in Phila- delphia I stood in front, watching the bril- liant military bali scene in the second act. The property man came around from the stage and stood beside me to see the effect of his arrangement of furnitufe and decora- tions. ‘Confound it,’ he said to me, ‘I havea light sofa on the right side of the stage and there's a girl in a light gown sitting on it, while on the left side there’s a girl in a dark dress sitting on a dark sofa. I'll just change those sofas around to-morrow night, so that the light dress will contrast with the light sofa and vice versa.’ The next night at the same time the property man came, around to the front of the house and again looked at the scene. ‘Well, did you get your sofas moved around?’ I asked. ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘but confound it again.’ What's the matter?’ I asked. ‘Why,’ he said, ‘the two girls have changed places, too.’ It was true. Stage Manager Cathcart had noticed the lack of contrast the previous night and had sought to remedy it by moving the girls, just as the property man had moved the sofas.“ —0 M.

His American debut oc- curred at the Irving Place Theater. Engles has shown himself to be an actor of ex- ceptional ability, of finished art, natural and of a lovable personality. To even those who know nothing of German it is a treat to see Engles; you cannot help but ander- stand just what he is saying and doing. His appearance here was made in Herr Scna- tor“ and the reception accorded him wes most enthusiastic. However, his repertoire is extensive and during his engagaement he will be seen in many standard plays. n It is many moons since Thomas Q. Sea- brooke has deen seen in New York. His last appearance here was in comic opera, if memory serves, and since then Seabrookeo has gone into the field of legitimate com- edy. Though he was at first severely crit- icized in his new venture and many of nis friends and admirers foretold disaster for him, he has made a great hit in his present comedy, The Speculator.” After an ex- ténsive tour of the country Seabrooke will open at the Fifth Avenue on Saturday ev- ening, when his fate as a legitimate come- dian will be decided by the metropolltan critics.

There the body was rubbed, under the doctor’s orders until daylight rendered it safe for the death to be announced. Jacmel was thrown into great excite- ment, but the natives in Port au Prince were given over to sorrow and mourning over their beloved President. The foreign residents were somewhat alarmed at the eae of riot and revolution, but appily all trouble was averted. The body lay in solemn state two days guarded by negro soldiers, and all of Port au Prince went to pay their respects. On Thursday, March , two days after his death, the funeral took place. It was quite an occasion in town. A band preceded the cortege playing a dirge, and business was suspended. In truth not many were left to do business, the younger men, the clerks ang active workers having been called to 8. After the interment in a yellow brick mausoleum, the next business on hand was the election of Hyppolite’s successor. A dele- gation was hastily dispatched to Cape Hayti to placate the strong Alexis Nord faction, and induce them to consent to the elevation of T. 8. Sam, Secretary of War, to the Presidency. A Royal Dutch mail steamer was chartered for this purpose as it was not considered altogether safe to trust to one of the Haytian gunboats. No one knew whom to trust, nor where revolution might raise Its head. The people were for Sam except a few loyal adherents to Gen. Manigat, who is also a black man. His cause had been damaged by his exile in Jamaica, and the rumor that he was coming back had some- what weakened the cause of Secretary Sam. To quiet the people in the meantime, a show of Colne something was made by a meeting of the Chamber of Deputies at which there was no quorum. This show of action, however, was sufficient to satisfy the pulace.

Out of a total vote of 5,500 votes only 711 votes went to the polls. The rea- son for this can be found in the fact that — People's ticket had practically no oppo- s t on, Jesse M. Fields, the candidate for Presi- dent of the board on the People's ticket, re- ceived a total of 702 votes. D. A Beeken, as member, received 711 votes, and Patrick M.

Thomas was successful by a vote of 164 to s for Andrew Prader. In Illinois City quite a number of votes were cast for a ticket under the heading of a Board of Education, but all such votes were thrown out as illegal, as the call for the election was for a school director, and not for a Board of Education. * The casé of Albert Boul against Charles Martini, whom he accused of avenge stolen a horse, was tried in Justice ealey'’s court yesterday afternoon and ended in a verdict of acquittal.

An Extremely Unsettled Market This Past Week. KEEPS THE TRADE GUESSING. Corn Shews More Strength but Oats Quiet—Flour Dull—Cetton Stronger Items ef Interest. So far during April the wheat market has been as bad as a buzz-saw for the bears. Every time they became too confident and oversold themselves something came along to bull the market and run them in. This is what occurred this past week, when un- favorable weather conditions that was pre- venting seeding in the Northwest and crop damage reports and the appearance of the chinch bug in the winter wheat fields, created such alarm among many of the shorts that they climbed out as rapidly as they could. From lowest prices of the week there was an advance of ue for May and 3%c for July, the former selling Friday at Gl%ec and July at 63½œ. Since then there was a drop back, as shorts had “climbed and longs realized and yesterday May sold at done and July at 61%c. On the “curb the latest sales were at 69%c for May and e for July, a difference of 24%c, which is not bad carrying charges. . Liquidation of the May option liroke that month down to 58\%c early in the pas: week, and it dragged Ju y down to 59%c. Nearly everyone who was long May dared not hold on and take chances of having No. 2 hard winter delivered them when May arrived, especially after the Merchants’ Exchange members, by voting to abrogate the rule , allowing that grade to be delivered upon No. 2 red contracts, as much as openly declared the wheat was unfit for commercial pur- oses. It is a question now what will finally ecome of the 900,000 bu No. 2 hard winter in tock here. Exporters declare they cannot ell it abroad and millers declare it is not fit %o make flour of. There must be, however some use it can be put to and some price it can be sold at. It is a dead weight upon the market as long as it stays here, and a most serious handicap to the long side. But it may go out of sight some fine day and bears who have been relying upon it greatly to help their side out, may find themselves without their valuable market masher. It is pretty certain that none of this hard winter will be delivered on Muay contracts. 7 7” * This summer weather in April has aroused all the old bear instincts in the St. Louis traders. In imagination they can already hear the crisp rattie of the heavy golden “ts of the wheat as they swing in the d ripe for the reaper; in fact, some few n hear that “click” of the reaper, which is such a bearish argument in June. It is rather early to harvest the e the last half of April, and there is no telling just what may happen before the actual harvest be- gins. There is no doubt of the actual dam- age and shortness of the crop in Ohio, and there is damage to a certain extent in States west of the Ohio, but the general pros- pects just now are undoubtedly above the average at this time the year, Govern- ment and State reports to the contrary not- Fr The chances strongly favor a good yield of winter wheat, but the crop is liable to be killed“ sey times before it is harvested. The lateness of 8 wheat seeding is another tem in favor o bull speculation, though at asible to be overcome to a certain extent. f weath- er conditions favor from now on, 1 Foreign markets are Kolding out no en- courage™ent to this side. They apparently look with — 2 upon reports of damage winter wheat and of delayed seeding in Their own crops, as a rule, condition, they have large and plentiful offerings of more from Minneapolis, Duluth and stocks held at the seaboard, and also of French flours, and are counting upon Russia ship- ing wheat extensively now that navigation 8 open. If American markets however, should act as though they really believed in their own crop complaints, foreigners would probably become more interested, as they would hardly care to see another ex- porting country cut down in supplies. > 7 Receipts of wheat were 122,800 bus this past week, exceeding the *. — — week 31,400 bushels and those of one year ago by 90,500 bushels, but more was with- drawn by city and for outside millers. than for some time. * stock has decreased 46,000 bushels since fast Saturday and is now 1,131,800 bushels, includin 31,300 bush- els No. 2 red and 906,900 bushels No. 2 hard winter, the latter, Strange to say, having been reduced 5,000 bu by shipments +o out- side mills.

L herewith published as a curiosity and with- out comment otherwise. They say: “We desire to call your attention to a few facts, vis: The 1889 corn crop was 2,112,000,000 bu, the largest grown to that date. In February, 1890, corn sold in Chica- 2 at 27%c; in November following at 53%c. hen corn was sold around 80 in — . — for May delivery it has almost always doubled that year.

We believe reserves last fall were smaller than in the autumn of 1889, that con- sumption, expert and waste more than equ that of 1890, that cribbers never made greater preparations to hold their pur- chases several years or exhibited more faith in higher prices.

The pulls have not been in it at any stage of the specula- tive game so far this season, and there is apparently as little show for them the bal- ance of the season as there has been.

About the only demand of con- sequence comes from the South, nothing being done with the East, and only chance sales or special brand orders with Europe. Winter wheat mills located further East and favored with lower freight rates are doing about all the foreign business that is being done. Very few sales were made for export, possibly 3,000 sacks for the week, including 1,000 sacks for Havana. Ship- ments for the week 30,163 barrels—22,776 South, 6,127 East, 2,260 North and West, against 32,610 barrels last week, 49, a year ago.

C. Petri —New 1 April 18.—The market to-day has — practically at a standstill. The opening quotations were practically unchanged, but Owing. to some local liquidation prices closed at about one point under last even- ing. The chief feature in the situation at the present time is the fear that we have over export ourselves at the end of the week; 65,000 bales are reported as having been placed on shipboard and not yet cleared. This is important, as.our stocks are being rapidly reduced from day to day. The statistical position’ has not been as strong since the war as it is at present, and the effect of any unfavorable crop de- 89 the early summer can be easily imagined. The bearish contingent is therefore inclined to act with great cau- tion. The bureau report, which will state the increase in acreage based upon their advices, will have a great bearing upon the market, but our advices do not lead us to expect as we have previously stated that the earlier expectation in this respect will be realized. Chat From Change. New York is now figuring her stock of wheat will decrease 325,000 bu and the visible decrease about 1,000,000 bu. * * rts from Lincoln and Union counties (Mo.) are that many fields wheat have been plowed up, the plant having failed to grow.

The uninjured acreage throughout almost the entire area made advance, owing to the favorable growing weather, but à few new damage reports were received, and they were mostly confined to the Central States, where moisture is needed. Southeas- tern Kansas also reports a few localities where the crop was so injured by drouth as to induce farmers to seed the land with oats. The movement of winter wheat from first hands is surprisingly small, and mill- ers generally are becoming convinced that farmers have fixed upon much higher prices for their grain. The flour market is firm, and has a healthier tone than for some weeks. The entire Northwest—Iowa, Ne- braska, Western Kansas and Colorado— was visited by rain and snow during the week. Missouri has had light rains. In the West and Southwest the soll is in excellent condition for growing crops, and to-day’s forecast indicates an early fall of moisture in the Missouri and Mississippi Valleys. From the Street.

The fruit and produce trade have been battling with the hottest week they ever saw in. April. It was exceedingly hard weather on perishables and the loss in the aggregate is considerable. Appleg were es- pecially hit hard and when exposed to a emperature of 85 deg., fresh from the cold storage rooms, they soon disclosed how rap- idly. the depreciation in values followed. Several operators who bought at $3 to $3.50 barrel were willing to let 5 at half these figures. he fruit practically melted down where cold storage was not accessibie. - * 7 A severe frost, which visited West Ten- nessee on the Ist of April, injured a good many of the tree fruits, striking many of the peaches severely and cleaning up near- y all the many Keifer & Le Conte pear buds in that section. However, the in- jury to the tree fruits generally has been Surprisingly small so far and if a friendly blizzard should come along later it would prove a blessing in disguise, as there is en- tirely too much fruit in sight to insure any profits go the producers. * * * The continued scarcity of straw hats, linen dusters and other summer garments, with a daily temperature of 80 to 90 degrees in the shade, is a subject of comment. The boys are slow about submittin to so pro- nounced a change and are still perspiring in heavy winter clothing and waiting for somebody to take the lead in donning sum- mer suits. When the victim hesitates over the fact that it’s only the middle of April, and that heavy suits may yet prove very comfortable, he is in a quandary. Late April frosts may yet set in, and blacken and destroy the bright garb of spring in which the trees, plants and shrubbery are already clad, 7 * „ The death of Wm. Hake of Wm. Hake & Co., one of the oldest firms on the street, was a surprise, although it must be ad- mitted by his friends that he was steadily breaking down physically the past twelve months. Uncle Billy,” as he was famili- arly called, was along in years, being over 66. He left behind him a long and honor- able record of forty years in business, a goodly heritage, which he leaves to his boys. who will be his successors at the old stand on Third street. Mr. Hake’s funeral, which takes place to-day, will be largely at- tended by his many old friends, and the trade generally from the street. * — * C. H. Willlamson of Quincy, III., the well-known wholesale fruit dealer, was in the city Thursday buying goods. At the commission merchants’ convention at the Southern Hotel last January Mr. William- son will be remembered as delivering an address regarding the aims and objects of the Apple Packers’ Association, It will be news to many of the delegates to learn that this gentleman lately declined the nomina- tion for Mayor of his city which was ten- dered him unanimously, and as Quincy is Democratic the nomination\ was almost equal to an election. Mr. Williamson is quite a young man, possibly Y. years, and remarkably modest for his abilities. He is a man of splendid education, fine address, and may be next heard from in Congress for some of his friends say he declined the late honor tendered to accept later on the Congressional nomination. * * — The commission houses receiving straw- berries never before saw such a demand in April at big prices, choice fruit was wanted badly at Se a quart. The very hot weather seriously affected the condition of all offerings except the refrigerator stock from Florida. The calls for that were fre- quent and very pressing. Everybody wanted them and did not stop to ask the price. The outside order trade was in evidence too, but very little of it could be filled owing to the scarcity of suitable stock. Florida shippers have suffered a great deal through the, failure of express companies to deliver the fruit on time, considerable of’it getting in one day late and such as was not in re- frigerators was almost worthless on arrival. . — 7 The outlook for the Florida tomato crop is most discouraging and becoming worse daily on account of a prolonged drouth. A letter received yesterday from Clermont, a big shipping point, says they won't be able to load a car there this season and unless a rain comes at once that there will be none at all to ship anywhere. The heat and drouth is injuring several of the crops. The strawberry crop is injured and reduced on the same account and many who have ber- ries are unable to market them, fine as the prices are, because they can’t secure re- frigerator boxes, the supply being too small for the crop. — „ * Officer Curran, who holds down the unruly element up in the produce district, is so tall that he discovers a good deal of wicked- ness that a short man would be shut out from. This hot weather has a depressing influence on the rotund and corpulent young officer, and since the rigid rules of the Po- lice Board deprives the force from “‘irri- gating’’ Officer Curran has become enam- ored of a trim little ice cream wagon that traverses this crowded thoroughfare every day twice, and has become one of its best customers. He does not, however, see any cause for the uproar and wild comment from the boys on the street while he is standing by the side of this roving ice cream vehicle and eating the cold juicy product in the sun.

MOR FATE OF JOHN DEMPSEY, Bitten by a Deg With the Coenrivance of a Guard, He Died of Rabies. — — “It is this way: Jones has got Karr right, and Krueger has got Jones right. Nothing that happens is known.“ James Sullivan, said to be one of the lead- ers in the rebellion at the Work-house last Wednesday, uttered the foregoing as he was ushered into the jail yesterday. Deputy Sheriff Langford brought Sullivan and Henry Nagel from the Work-house, and each will be tried for stealing a horse. Sullivan had just finished a sixty-day term for petty larceny. When he left the Work-house he was in a bad humor and tongue-lashed Bupt. Karr and the guards to the best of his ability. He coined epi- thets for their benefit, and they could not harm him, for he was a Sheriff's prisoner. To a Post-Dispatch reporter Sullivan told the following, which he said were only sam- ples: If, he said, any one of the fifty or more long-term men were guaranteed pro- tection from the wrath of the guards, they could tell many tales of horror. Men, he said, were absolutely butchered. The slayer of cattle granted his victims more humane treatment than fell to the lot of poor devils who found their way into Nick Karr’s bastile. “I repeat,”’ said Sullivan, Jones has Karr right and Krueger has got Jones. What if Krueger gets drunk on cans of beer in the ehack on the edge of the quarry? What if while he is in this condition he beats half a dozen men half to death? The men go to Jones, He says, ‘Go on, Krueger's all right.“ “Jones won't believe anything against Krueger. Take a man with any sort of pride, they will fix him. If he stays there very long, he won't have spirit enough when ae, ete out to resent an insult from a c , "Take what happened to me yesterday. Krueger was telling the reporters what a good fellow he was and left it to me. I told the truth, and he wanted to break my head with a club, but the reporters stopped him. But when the reporters left they didn't do a thing to me. arr shows me up, that is he lined his guards in two rows, and I had to walk between, Then he says: Men here's a no account, thieving — — —. If he makes a false break kill him, and the man that doesn’t can't work for me.“ Krueger then takes me up for impudence, gets a few falls out of me, and locks me up in the bull ring all night. Let me tell you a few things. One of m cellmates, John Dempsey, sassed a guard, He was taken out, and the black watch dog set on him. The animal's teeth plerced his flesh in several places, and when the poor fellow got enough he was thrown back into the cell, In two weeks he took sick, foamed at the mouth, snapped at every one, and had convulsion after convulsion. They sent him to the City Hospital, where he died. They called it blood-poisoning or something, I say it was hydophobia, and Dempsey was murdered. “John Flynn was sitting on his pile of rocks, and Krueger told him to hustle. lynn is paralyzed on one side from a eating he got and he can’t work hard. He told rueger he was doing the best he knew how, and was knocked on the head by Krueger's club. Flynn's hammer drop- ed. Krueger picked it up and knocked lynn senseless.

EDWARD B. NEELY, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, ST. JOSEPH. Edward B. Neely, Superintendent of the | Public Schools of St. Joseph, was born in Accomac County, Virginia, Dec. 25, 1828. He entered the junior class of Washington College, Pennsylvania, now known as Washington and Jefferson College, and was graduated with honors in 1847, in his nine- teenth year. His preparation in the classics seems to have been unusually good, as soon after his matriculation in Washington College he was appointed teacher of the preparatory classes in Latin and Greek in that institution. Immediately after his graduation he accepted the position of as- Bistant in an academy near Baltimore. 1850 he was elected principal of Margaret Academy, a well known institution of learning in Eastern Virginia. In 1855 he moved to St. Joseph, Mo., where he established a private school for boys, and by his disereet and able man- agement won for himself the confidence and support of the people of that city. The war prevented the establishment of a pub- lic se oot system esd Ane. 12, 1864, when M vely was electe uperintendent of ae Public Schools of St. Joseph by a He has held this office for thirty-two consecutive years, and at the meeting of the board last week | try. he was unanimously re-elected for another term. Mr. Neely has always taken a prominent art in the educational matters of the tate. In 1866 he was elected president of the Missour! State Teachers’ Association, which met at St. Louls, and he was also elected County Superintendent of Public Schools by a vote far in excess of any party strength. This position he held for several years, until he declined renomina- tion. In 1870 he was appointed a member of the Board of Regents of the State Nor- mal School, and was by that board elected its president. In 1887 and again in 1889 Mr. Neely took a trip to Europe for the pur- pose of acquainting himself with the edu- ‘ational institutions of Germany. In 1890 he was appointed a member of the Free Public Library Board of St. Joseph, and is serving his second term in that capacity. Among the educators of the State; Mr. Neely holds high rank. He Has always been a progressive man and in educational matters is considered a wise adviser. His administrative ability is shown in the suc- cessful manner in which the schools of St. Joseph are conducted, for under his able supervision they have grown to be ac- knowledged among the best in the coun- „ST.

BOYD ON BRIBE GIVING. The Text ef His Sermon Shows That He Blamed the Tempter. The Post-Dispatch, basing its criticism t upon the report of Dr. Boyd’s sermon that appeared in the morning papers last Mon- day, suggested that he should level his shafts at the men and corporations who give bribes, as well as at those who ac- cept them. The full text of Dr. Boyd's sermon, which he has submitted to ‘the Post-Dispatch, shows that he did exactly this, as the following excerpts will demon- strate: “I utter no apology for the bribe-giver, for the man who tempts his fellow to wrong for his own gain and advantage. “The party that is the aggressor in cor- ruption, that makes the overture, the first advance, that party, be he citizen or legis- lator, is the really guilty man, and the one whom the law should punish. “By this reasoning I must not be charged with having any sympathy with a group of men who sit down and deliberately plan how to secure by bribery a valuable — chise from the city and then by paid attor- neys and ‘go-betweens’ systematically at- tempt to buy the necessary votes in the Assembly. Inssuch a case the corporation is the greater criminal. Verily, such cor- porations in the long run partly reap their reward. For violence, that seek at times to destroy their property, is merely an at- ing way, to get even with chicane and fraud. And such corporations ought not to complain if the city government which they have conspired to emasculate has not the virility to defend them.“ Speaking of the apathy concerning muni- cipal reform manifested by prominent citi- zens, who may themselves be members of corporations concerned, about the action of municipal officers, Dr. Boyd said: ‘And if by chance any such citizen should happen to be a member of any Grand-jury, you can readily understand why his atti- tude to a searching investigation might be one of cold reasonableness or indifference; and why it would require the most exact and overwhelming legal evidence to con- vince him that the public good required the indictment of a bribe-giver, or a present- ment to the court on the subject of muni- cipal coruption.”’ „ „ We have on the one hand a class of rich men, who, knowing they can buy what sf want, are indifferent to the ad- ministration of city affairs; and, on the other hand, an officeholding class who rel- ish the 2 of their unique posi- tion. The former think there is nothing specially immoral under the circumstances in getting what one must have out of the city government by fair or foul means; the latter think that it is perfectly legitimate, seeing that their term of office is brief and their salary small, to make as much as possible while the sun shines.“ * * * “Now, when we add to this the further fact that many of those whom we call our best citizens, that is, people with money, social osition, and very Iikely chur memb Ip. seem to be personally interested in having a local government that it not too honest; as attorneys, or in- vestora, or business men, are likely to be interested in building contracts, or paving contracts, or electric lighting, or a gas company, or street railway franchises, or other matters requiring city action, and are willing to contribute to the support of & corrupt or semi-corrupt administration, and ask no questions except 1 nS to the treatment to be accord to the en- terprise in which they are interested— when we consider this alarming fact, we — nd why municipal reform makes 80 little ars in many of our American cities, and why even promising movements towards the bettering of urban — have been wrecked on hidden rocks.“ Texas and Mexico.

The Logic of a Real Estate Ad. “The! great fortunes of America have been made in owning real estate. The ex- treme poor of this country can attribute their condition to the fact that a large | per cent of their wages goes for rent. It is the duty of every man to try and own a home. If you cannot own a home in St. Louis, make arrangements to stop paying rent. For further particulars write to . Madison, III.“ The above was a real estate ad. pub- lished in The St. Louts Manufacturer of Jan. 25, 1896. The statement in the first few lines of this ad.— The great fortunes of América have been made by owning real estate,“ and The extreme poor of this country can attribute their condition to the fact that a large per cent of their wages goes for rent —could not have been made truer or stronger by the most ardent single taxęr. Further on the ad. reads: “If you cannot own a home in St. Louis, make arrange- ments to stop paying rent, etc.” Here 13 an admission almost that it is hardly pos- sibie for the poor to own a home in St. Louis, appearing in a journal devoted to the interests of St. Louis manufacturers and voicing much of the sentiments of an association having for its object the building up of St. Louis. Of course, the ad. is a paid-for one, and it does not follow that it reflects the sentiments of the pub- Usher or the association, but it is none: the less lamentable that a real estate man is able to tell such a palpable truth. There are hundreds of merchants in St. Louls who ‘are staggering under high rents and whose business is paralyzed from it, and yet there are many men who think that real estate boomers are a blessing to a city in helping to build it up. The invita- tion of the advertiser above quoted is very specious, and much like the same sort of one given by the spider to the fly. He does not intend to give something for nothing, for should it be known that any considerable number of men accepted the invitation to go to Madison, it would soon be seen how quickly rents there would go up, and Madison would soon be as expen- sive for the poor to live in as St. Louis is now said to be. Madison would simply be another addition to the hundreds of in- stances of the iniquitous system of land- booming and speculation for private gain, not for the public good. The single tax is coming just as sure as truth is mighty and will prevail, it is coming sooner than some of us think, and such admissions as the above ad. are simply in the progress of reform, another mile-post driven down for public opinion to tie to. W. B. ADDINGTON, St. Louis, April 10, 1896. 0 The Day We Celebrate. The celebration of the anniversary of Thomas Jefferson’s birthday, on Monday evening, by the Single Tax League was a success from every point of view. While there was no distinctive feature calling for elaborate detail, every number on the programme was a feature in itself. The singing by the Ransom Post HowI- ers“ deserves special mention, not only be- cause of its excellence, but for the reason that the gentlemen who compose this ag- gregation of musical talent are presumed to be entirely without the circle of single tax influence, and some even go 80 far as to intimate that a number of them are of the mind that single-taxers are a species of the biped only a little removed from the wild and woolly Anarchist. However that may be, they are a jolly good set of people and the disciples of Henry George hereabouts will not forget them. They came, they sang and I trust they feel that they did not spend a profitless evening. Prof. Crunden presided and as a matter of course carried the meeting along in his own inimitable and masterful way. Martin Williams read a paper on Jefferson the Reformer’ that did full justice to the memory of the great commoner, and that is saying a great deal. Rabbi anaes Sale’s contribution to the evening's entertainment was powerful and eloquent. His plea for the ethical side of the single tax could not be improved upon and must have made a deep impression on the minds of many who attended. 3 Dr. J. W. Caldwell read a ten-minutes paper that was finished and scholarly and was rendered. in a style commensurate therewith. Col. Richard Dalton seemed to be the star of the evening in that he worked tl.e audience up to a high stage of enthusiasm at different periods and at others had the whole house roaring with laughter at his sallies of wit. Col. Dick impresses his auditors with his intense earnestness and when he gets on to the question of Justice in efvic affairs“ no one can surpass him in the strength of his logic and the vigor of his expressions. He was especially happy on this occasion and won many friends. hare were a large number of ladies present and they seemed to enjoy | the “feast of reason and flow of soul” as much as the sterner sex. This was very pleasing to the promoters of the cause in St. Louis, as they are anxious to enlist the gentler sex in this great home ques- tae H. E. Taubeneck, Chairman of the National Populist Executive Committee, who was on the programme, sent a letter of regret saying he had been too busy to prepare himself, and_ Dr. Vrooman, „Tho was to recite Gerald Massey's poem The People’s Advent,” dropped out on account of the length of the bill of fare, promising to come again when time would eet me pressing. Henry George at Wilmington. efferson’s birthday was celebrated by the Rm taxers of Delaware and adjacent States on the 7th inst. There were 400 pres- ent, including some of the most prom nent personages of the State. Letters of regret were read from the Senators and Congress- men of Delaware, who are no doubt a little shy of the single taxers,; from Hon. Tom L. Johnson, Thomas G. Shearman and others. Henry George, as the great apostle of the movement, was the principal guest of the evening and responded to a toast as follow — “Tt always pleases me to see a meeting 0 this kind, and still more so to sit and hear those who advocate the principles of single tax. This Delaware campaign is a success. It is a success because it means more than Delaware. ‘Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. Not the full splendor of the day, but the glory of a dawn which knows no going back. There is only one way to retard it, and that is to ignore it. The only conspiracy that will act as an obstacle to its onward march is to ignore it. “Bverything else but helps it forward. The century is closing. The principles of Jefferson have been a part of our American polity, but they are yet to be weighed and tried. Mere political equality is a failure, and the equality of man is now what is wanted. It is a pleasure to say 80 this side of Mason and Dixon's line, to advocate in their true meaning the principles of Thomas Jefferson, the ere of the American tion of Independence. Oe here in Delaware alone, but all over the codntry, the movement is progressing. It is progressing by absorption, by hand-to- hand work of men who make no pretensions to political power, but whose zeal knows no bounds. It is in the air. People are imbib- ing it, and the man who does not to-day know what single tax means is a curiosity. Not only in this country, but wherever the English tongue is spoken, are the principles of the single tax advocated to-day. To-day, it looks to me as if the first great success would come from beneath the Southern Cross, or perhaps from across the water. The extent of the work in Great Britain and Ireland is inspiring. Only a couple of weeks ago there was elected to the English Parlia- ment one of the most active and energetic workers for the single tax in her majesty's dominion. This movement has come to stay. It must.go on.” Mr. George wes frequently interrupted by the enthusiastic audience applauding. The Only Drawback. The only drawback experienced on the occasion of our celebration of the birthday of the writer of the Declaration of Inde- pendence was the inability to take care of all who attended, the hall, although com- modious, being entirely too limit in its seating capacity to afford comfort to more than about half of the visitors. This was to be regretted, but it was unavoidable, as there are no halls centrally located that would serve the purpose and be available within reasonable figures. There is a de- cided scarcity of respectabje entertainment halle down towm in this city.

Special to the Post Dispatch. HOLDEN, Me., April 18—The Selectmen of Orrington, who, as overseers of the poor for that town, attended the funeral of Mrs. Lucretia Kenney last Sunday, spent considerable time during the services in figuring out how much the town would have saved if a former board had granted her request and allowed her to die ten years ago. If the woman had lived until October of this year she would have been 102 years old. ‘Though she was reared in comfortable circumstances and married well, the last fifteen years of her life were passed as a pauper, supported by the town. In her early days she was a giantess. She was six feet tall, weighed 200 pounds and had a record of having whipped three men, killed a bear with a sled stake and made more enemies in her long life than most women would care to gain. Owning a good farm here and another in Orrington, she wasted both in lawsuits and called upon the town for support. When the overseers of the poor called to in- vestigate her case fifteen years ago they found her sufféring from a stroke of paralysis, which made her unable to move. “I suppose you want me to die right away?“ she said, when they had learned that her property was gone. They told her that, while they should hesitate to express their feelings so blunt- ly, she had grasped the sentiments of the meeting in a businesslike way. “Well,” she said, “if you want me to die in five years or less send me back to the old place in Holden. If you keep me here I will live forever, just to spite vou.“ Notwithstanding the threat they boarded her in Orrington, where she improved so rapidly that in two years she had been in three fights and was able to walk about. As her health and temper increased fewer people wanted to board her, until, at the end of six years, no one would take her short of $ a week, with medical attend- ance extra. Bills of extra cost came in and trouble mounted up until April 11, 1891, when the overseers gave in completely and got board for her with Mrs. Ring at the old place in Holden. As soon as she entered the parlor where she came as a bride seventy years before she looked around and said: There, I am comfortable now, and in five years from to-day I will die.“ A year ago a second stroke of paralysis made it difficult for her to walk, but she was still as hearty as usual until the mid- dle of March of this year. Then she re- fused to eat. Last Saturday several neigh- bors called to see her, bringing her fellies, soups and other articles to tempt her ap- petite. She heard what they had to say and told them all to go out. : “When you hear the bell ring.“ said she, “you may know I am done, and can send for the undertaker.” They sat in the kitchen for half an hour or more, talking about the old woman's queer ways and wondering how long she could lve without eating. Suddenly th: bell tinkled gharply, and hurrying in to learn what she wanted they found her dead in bed At the funeral, which was held the next day, the seers remarked that she ust five to time she was er —— ̃ Ä Vea? a ngton over- April AND SEVENTH ST.

FAMOUS PEOPLE AS THEY G0 BY. - Notes of Interest of Well-Kuown Men and Women. —_ There is not a reigning sovereign in Eu- rope whose family is of the nation over which he rules. The house of Austria is in reality the house of Lorraine, the Haps- burgs being of Swiss origin. The King of Belgium is of Saxe-Coburg. The King of Denmark is a Holsteiner. The little King of Spain is an Austro-Bourbon. The King of Italy is a Savoyard. The King of Rou- mania and Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria are both foreigners. The founder of the Bernadotte dynasty in Sweden was a coun- try attorney at Pau less than a century and a quarter ago. The Czar of Russia is ‘a Holstein-Gottorp, and the King of the Hellenes is a Holsteiner. The British royal family is Hanoverian. The Hohenzollerns were originally Suabians and are therefore partly Bavarians and partly Swiss. 7 . Since the last attempt made on the life of Sig. Crispi he has constantly worn under his shirt a light bullet-proof coat of mail. Bis- marck wore a similar garment after he was first fired at in Berlin thirty years ago, Lady Randolph Churchill is the only wo- man in the English peerage who can boast of being tattooed. The tattooing was done when she was traveling in India, and was suggested by her noticing the operation as it was being performed on a British sailor. She sent for the artist and asked for some designs. He suggested the symbol of etern- ity—a snake 1 its tail in ita mouth. Lady Churchill lik it, and the result is a beautifully executed snake coiled round her arm just above the wrist. As a rule a broad gold band covers it, but personal friends have seen it and have heard the story of the tattooing. Prince Bismarck derives an annual] income of $228,750 from the various industries in which he is interested. . A Japanese newspaper announces that the Emperor, Mitu-Hito, will visit Europe dur- ing the course of the year. He will travel in his own yacht, accompanied by a Japanese fleet. He will be the first Mikado who has ever traveled outside of his own country, and there have been Mikados of tue present dynasty for over 2,500 years. The arrest of the Prince of Naples for leaving Florence for Rome without asking the usual military permission seems to be the result of a little family disagreement. No credence was at first given to the news of the Prince’s arrest, but it Is now cer- tain that the Prince was obliged to remain in his rooms at the Quirinal two or three days for breaking the rules of military dis- cipline. The Prince went to Rome solely to state his views on the Ministerial! crisis, which, it appears, he did pretty frankly.

She has not worn her crown twenty times during her long reign. She has three rings, however, that have never left her hand for over fifty years. One is her wedding ring, and the other two are quaint, old- fashioned rings given her by the late Prince Oonsort. . . a 7 * The name Caroline Fitzmaurice at the foot of a spirited poem in the March Book- man is well known itn New York. She was a Miss Fitzgerald, and lived with her father in a big brown-stone house at the corner of Fifth avenue and Twelfth street. A few years ago she married Lord Edmund Fitz- maurice, a scholar and a man of wealth. His wife is also wealthy and also a scholar. She used to frighten the average New York society girl into hysterics with her erudi- tion, and it was rumored that she could write in Greek as readily as in English. * * * Mr. J.

The air about the building was scented with the aroma of an unclean kennel, 80 that the notice City Dog Pound“ was not needed. The yelps and the odor formed a sign without words. R. L. Price, the superintendent of the pound, and John X. Zaehringer, his as- sistant, each wearing a ge as a deputy city marshal, were found in charge. Like farmers who have sowed their seed and are waiting for a good crop, Messrs. Price and Zaehringer, having gent out the three catchers about 7 a. m., were abiding in pa- tience a big harvest of dogs. They were also in a fit state of mind to listen to protests and to dry feminine tears, as the case might be. With the pride of a hotel keeper usher- ing a guest to the best room in the house, Messrs. Price and Zaéhringer ushered the reporter through the pound, and showed him their canine guests. There are four N en pens on the west side of the pound, and they have sliding windows which can be opened from the alleyway that takes up the east side of the shedlike enclosure. In one pair of pens were 41 dogs, the catch of a few hours the preceding day. It looked as if there were 41 breeds in the collection, and many of them were mongrels of the kind that seemed to have 41 different strains in their blood. A pretty little Scotch terrier was the best dog in the lot. He sat quietly in the middle of the pen and looked as if he had missed the chance of his life by not getting into ‘ i “Where is my Fannie, my pretty Fannie, poor little Fannie. Oh, the dog catchers took her and she got puppies at home. The loveliest little puppies you ever saw.“ Tears roll down her cheeks, her bosom heaved, and her whole aspect was one of deep despair.

Yes, yes, here it is,” and she handed over the fee. The animal had run to the window and Mr. Zaehringer pulled it to freedom and ca- fresses, The woman grabbed the canine in her arms, and went into ecstasies that ex- cited laughter among the spectators. At the REDEEMED. same time she went on talking about Fan- nie’s puppies. until she was reminded that she might have to walk back to her home Eighth and Carr street, as her dog might not be admittcd on board the cars. he laughed at the notion and intimated that the conductor that dared to put her Fannie ‘off would put his life in danger. Scarcely had she gone when a sad-faced urchin carrying a dog ran up to Mr. Zaeh- ringer. It was & pug with a nose just long enough to betray a siightly n ed pedi- gree.

Saturday and Tuesday are killing days at the pound. Animals caught on Mon- . Tuesday and Wednesday and not called for are disposed of on Saturday. The catch of Thursday, Friday and Saturday is stilled in death on Tuesday. A large wooden box, four feet feet wide, four feet high and twelve feet long, with a door in the top is filled with — acked as closely as sardines. A charcoal and wood fire is then started in a barrel shaped stove, which has a branch pipe leading to the death chamber. When the stove is red hot, handfuls of sulpher are thrown in, and the dampers are arranged so as to let the fumes reach the dogs. In a few minutes the muf- fled voices of the animals are exhausted forever, and the box door is opened. Each animal is erect, but dead, and many of the corpses are mouthing blood and foam. They are thrown out by an employe of the Pound and are hauled off to the skim- ming and rendering establishment. That the death chamber has served the urpose for which it was made is attested y blood stains and by the reco * — 0 lem for dogs. : When the examination of the executio with a load of dogs, The animals were lift- ed out and put in separate pens from the forty-one 14 the dog-catch Louis Girard, Nick Abeln and a new han hired to fill the place of Andy Betzold, who was shot recently.

As in the case of every long-established metropolitan police force the members of the St. Louis Police Department, generally speaking, are an aggregation of heavy- . weights, “There are exceptions, as to all rules, but the number of Nght-welghts and middle- weights is few.

For years he was sta- tioned around the down-town hotels and the old Union Depot, and although still a young man his aldermanic proportions are prima facie evidence of his manner of liv- ing.

Although he associates daily with Chief Desmond, who. is no Lilliputian, Sam Allender, Jim Smith, Tom McGrath, Denny O'Connell, Mike Kelléher and other bright young men connected with the Bureau of Criminal Information, whose forms are well rounded as a rhetorician’s sentences, he positively refuses to join the ranks of the fat men. He subsists princi- pally on Belcher water and happy memories and smiles sardonically at the humorists who attempt to josh him and ask him why he does not get out and blow himself for a “You remember how Falstaff .. excused himself ‘for his many fallings,”’ says Scully.

This has been urged in many quarters as one of the strongest arguments in favor of square meal, ' neither hunger nor thirst nor ‘feel the or- dinary wants of a human being. : Before passing into the hypnotic sleep Mahoney was examined by @ committee of medical men, and his Bod ly conditions were ‘as follows: Weight, 132% pounds; res- piration, 17; pulse, 78; temperature, 98 3-5. During the week crowds visited the Ma- was under constant surveillance by a com- mittee of doctors and students from the Fort Wayne.. College of Medicine, who watched in relays. The opera-house was open day and night, and all could come and go who listed. Santanellt's opponents declared that the subject would be fed dur- ing the week; that Santanelli would have his own watchers, or that he would induce them to leave the sleeper long enough for him to administer nourishment. But San- tanelli rarely went near the sleeper, never approaching him except when the opera- house was crowded. It was during the early stages of the hypnotic test that the humane society tnsti- tuted the legal proceedin referred to. After the hypnotist had declared his indabil- ity of awakening the sleeper before he had had his sleep out, an agent of the hu- mane society was sent to the sleeper’s bed for the purpose of awakening bim. ud calls and slaps, rolling him over and other methods usually employed to rouse slum- berers, were employed, but without effect. Mahoney slept as peacefully as an infant, all unaware of the excitement of which he was the object. Santanelli went through with his weeks 3 and announced t he would . De to awaken the subject Saturday n 4 sonic Temple and viewed the sleeper, who | charge has had a dreadful time. During the lessons the delicate instruments have play- ed him all sorts of tricks and all his exper- iments have been of doubtful success. Ey- ery once in a while a girl would step up to tell what she had learned about volts, ohms and amperes, and immediately the galvanometers would gyrate wildly and the needles on the various dials would ee and all the laws of Volta and Obm an Faraday would go to smash, and the find- ings of Edison and Tesla would become strangely lost. Then the professor knew the student beside him had on a high-grade corset with ribs of finest steel. The instru- ments were not affected by the presence of some students because they wore health waists of some sort and were braced with whalebone or some substitute for steel. The professor made poor progress with his class. It was impossible to make accurate experiments before some girls, and among these were the most promising girls in the class. Something had to be done; but the professor, being a man, felt, a natural deli- cacy about doing anything. Two of the women teachers tackled the girls on hygiene and physical development, and warmed them of the evils of corsets. But the real motive of the new crusade leaked out, and at present there is much perturbation among the ambitious co-eds, who are anxious for scientific attatriments, but yet have all the hundred reasons a woman can advance for not discarding her corset. * “This corset trouble is of long standing, Prof. Meads of the electrical department told an Examiner reporter. “The machines in the electrical department are delicately and Ingersoll: Speaking of Ingersoll reminds me of a very funny experience I had.during a short managerial] experience in Milwaukee. In a lecture course I had Rev. Sam Jones booked for a certain night in November. It hap- pened that Ingersoll was booked for the same night at an opposition theater. When I learned of this fact I wrote to Mr. Jones and suggested that he give me another date, explaining to him the situation, the strength of Ingersoll, etc. The fiery Methodist evan- gelist answered that he didn’t care for Ingersoll, he could fill the largest theater in town, Ingersoll or no Ingersoll, and rather intimated that he knew more about the matter than I did. 80 I dropped the pro- posed change and calmly awaited the day and the lectures. The day came. At noon the Ingersoll people had sold the entire house, had placed 200 chairs on the stage: these were an sold; there was a row’ of 82 = 3 telephoned that he was at + t. hotel, fixed up te r to the theater, and $0 the sleeper turned to live up to one’s station. „Also, 5 4 gen comes a tendency to one’s ty, rege because of the/|@ hority gives, and not fiom | u assumes d ity without imulates „ Ving exam of several lacing a limit on the weight of policemen, ut as the use of a revolver is a discretion- ry measure at best, dependent : entirely pon individual judgment, nothing has ever Hence it is that the mod.| come of the agitation for reduct & surrounded by these | weight of members of the. force. 1 Police mmasiums are in general use out be- throughout the country, but the apparatus formerly in service in the Four Co as- | has been stored ae . for | dur. sated — to arouse himself the most was manifested.

When he met his @eath, instead of intending to commit su-- Gide, he was engaged in an effort to sus- tain life. The python’s death conveys a warning to others not to monkey with a monkey. That Was what undid his snakeship. The great @rawback to a python’s appetite is that he has no drawback coming to him when once he swallows anything. The sea-sick man or the rounder, with a dark-brown taste in his mouth in the morning, would give up a t deal to have the python’s cinch on re- ning everything he swallows. he python, in common with the great stricting snakes, has the power of swal- fowing objects of great size, much broader n itsel 2 to fit the size of the meal.

So in a short time after the seizure the monkey was in the python's stomach, whole but not unharmed. And then came retribution for the python.

The New York papers are telling of the clever way in which old-time regular sol- diers stationed at Governor's Island and Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton escape prison for drunkenness or other violations of discipline, by eating soap. They get very sick and are sent to the hospital. The scheme is to take a piece of soap (ordinary washing soap is used at all the posts), cut off a plece about as large as a quarter and twice as thick, chew it up and wash it down with water. It takes but a few moments for the vile stuff ,to work. There is a most violent wrenghing at the stomach, a deathly sickness seizes the prisoner and he froths at the mouth. Of course he is hustled off to the hospital, where an emétic is administered, and there he remains, in a clean, comfortable cot, with the best of eat and drink, until the extreme weakness which his unusual meal has caused leaves him. The soap-eater invariably wins. Although the physician may strongly suspect the cause of the prisoner’s illness, he is under orders not to make any experiments, and a soldier in confinement suffering from we | allment of whatever nature must be moved to the post hospital at once. St. Louis had a notable case of this kind some years ago. A sick prisoner was sen from the Work-house to the hospital an romptly escaped, The facts have never He published for the simple reason that at the time the doctors did not know they had been duped. It was not discovered for a long time afterwards, and then the doc- tor who made the discovery was not par- ticularly anxious to exploit the fact that he had been so cleverly imposed on. Peter Jackson was a mulatto crook of considerable local reputation. He was a shrewd fellow, much shrewder than he was en credit for being. For a small burglary he accepted a sentence ofa year in the Work-house, a custom 3 by Circuit Attorney Zachrits and his assist- ants to the cost of the 9 It is easier than to go to the trouble of trying the case in the Criminal Court, but the cost of the prisoner’s maintenance 18 charged to the oity, while if the convict went to the 14 be charged to the State. —— this — the city did not wever, in — to pay for Jackson's maintenance very long. Shortly after his admission to he Work-house he fell ill with all the symp- Somme of dysentery. Dr. A. N. Ravold of on University and consulting bac- hin 4 — st of the Health Department, was at that time Work-house physician. He e usual remedies. They had no effect whatever. Not only did the patient get no better, but there was no evidence that the medicine prescribed had been ad- ered. . lost flesh rapidly. The case was so aggravated that parts of the lining of the intestines sloughed away. Knowing that attendants were sometimes careless and neglectful, and fearing that the patient was not getting his medicine regularly, Dr. Ravold took personal charge of this patient. He gave him his medicine and watched him swallow it, remaining each time long enough to see that he did not eject it. And still the symptoms showed no abatement. Jackson got steadily and ra idly worse until he was so emaciated that the then undiscovered X ray was not needed to see through him. When apparently he had no more than a few days to live the patient was sent to the City Hospital. The next morning Jack- son was gone, He had escaped in the night. It was not thought possible he could live and not much effort was made to recapture him. The surprise was that he was able to walk far enough to get out of sight of the svital. 7 year or so afterwards Dr. Ravold wert to the jail one day with Dr, Priest to see Kring, the murderer of his migtress, Mrs. Bremen, who cheated the gallows by dying of consumption. A big, fat, greasy negro accosted Dr. Ravold familiarly. & “Hello, Doc; guess you'se dun forgot me. The doctor could not quite place him. When the prisoner said he was Jackson the victim of dysentery, the doctor could not credit it. Then Jackson in glee, before a crowd of guards and prisoners, told how he had fooled the doctor. He had eaten daily a portion of soft soap, a strong potash compound, and no medicine could overcome the dangerous symptoms so pro- duced. As soon as he stopped the soap diet he got well. One of the most noted criminals of his day was J&ke Ackerman, who was shot dead by his wife in the Police Court at Memphis seven years ago, shortly after his escape from a Northern prison. No prison ever held Ackerman long. He had fits and other forms of illness and always contrived to be sent to the hospital, whence he in- variably escaped. He fooled the prison doc- tors by eating soap, but they never dis- Sovered the imposition until after his ea PROZEN 70 TBE RAIL A Wildcat’s Wet Paw Traps Him “on a Cold Morning. prescribed t What is by long odds the best hunting story of the season comes from St. Regis, and the section foreman, Nels Thompson, who looks after the Snake track at that lace, is the hero, says the Anaconda Mont.) Standard. It is 1 the first case of its kind on record, and establishes an interesting precedent in the killing of wildcats. One morning as Thompson and his gang of Scandinavians were pumping their hand- car eo, 4 the track, on their way to their work, which that day was along the clay bluffs east of St. Regis, they were startled by the angry snarling of a wildcat ahead of them. hey slowed up the car as they rounded the bluff, and a strange sight reeted their eyes. The morning was bit- erly cold and a fringe of ice bordered the banks of the St. Regis River, which rushed along just below the tracks. Broken ice and A wet trail up the bank showed that the cat had swam through the icy stream and ex- plained his present predicament. For he certainly was in the gravest predicament in which ever a wildcat found himself. He was fastened firmly to one of the steel rails * I — Ap @ supposition is that the cat had come through the river and leaped up the track embankment, His last jump brought one of his wet forefeet upon the rail and it froze to the steel. There he was, held as fast as if in the jaws of a trap. The ground showed that he had struggled to free himself but his efforts had been in vain, : ow ™m a crowbar cracked and the victim of cold water was dead tt required a strong pos to detach the frozen foot from the rail, and when it did come patches of skin still adhered to the steel.

Now the NEW WOMAN THE ROLE OF HOBO Belongs to the O. R T. and Tramps Around Dead-Head.“ j The new woman has made her debut in East St. Louis. She appeared in the guise, not exactly of a knight of the road or Wan- dering Willie, but the next thing to it, to wit, the railroad telegraph operator out of a job, equipped with credentials from her local union, appealing to fellow railroaders for a lift on her way to friends or to employment. The little dingy telegraph office back of the ladies’ watting-room at the Relay Depot was the scene of her advent. She was young, bright and more than ordinarily pretty. She was dressed in a dark blue traveling suit and had a little grip“ hanging from a strap over her shoulder. When she was first noticed by one of the operators she was looking over the big sheet on which the conductors register the arrival or departure of their trains. Hundreds of ladies have transacted busi- ness with the telegraph companies at the East St. Louls Relay Depot before this, but they have always been attended to through the little window that opens into the ladies waiting room. And now, for almost the first time within the history of the Relay station, the room that has always been sa- cred to the conductors and engineers of incoming or outgoing trains was invaded by a woman, The operator who had first “discovered” her stepped up to the railing that separates the attaches of the office from the throng of railroaders who, every yet and even- ing pes their autographs on the register sheet and ask the same old stereotyped ques- tion: “How is she?’’ with the evident inten- tion of A her business. He had hard- ly reached the rail before the girl looked up, a quick mystic sign passed between them and the operator with a erin of pleasure on his face reached out his hand. Where are you from?“ he asked. Hugo, Colo.,” was the reply, “but I belong in Denver. I lost ~ 4 office there in February, and I've been looking for another ever since. Do you know any of she men who go ast to- night!“ 1 y. ves, but they are nearly all a tough lot to go over the roads with.“ „Well, I've struck some rather hard peo- ple to ride with in Kansas and Nebraska. Still I have had but little trouble.“ „I'll try and help you out, if I can, but your card and letters will do as much for you as I can.” Thank you, I “rere find friends where- ever I find O. R. T. (Order of Railroad Tel- egraphers) boys.“ And then, over the rail- ing of the dingy office, she told the story of her travels to the friendly operator. “As I told 72 I lost out in Februray las and as I had saved my money when I was at work, I had quite enough to keep me for some time, but 19 was doubtful if I would get anything on the U.

Scientists have declared that Jonah could not have been swallowed by a whale, because that anjmal’s swallowing apparatus is not large enough, and if he had been he could not have survived his queer imprisonment for three days without air. And now comes a modern Jonah to con- fute skeptics and scientists. The Paris Journal des Debats publishes the story, and Henri de Parville, the scientific editor of that conservative paper, adds that the evidence is such that he believes it. This is the story: On the 25th of August, 1895, the man in the “crow’'s nest“ at the masthead of the Star of the East sighted two enormous sperm whales The steamer immediately gave chase and soon came within half a mile of one of them, a huge male. Two boats, fully equipped in the usual way, were lowered and rowed towards the animal. James Bart- ley’s boat was the nearer, and from its bow was fired a bomb lance which struck the whale in a vital part. The sailors backed water with all their might, but were not quick enough, for the monster in the agony of the flurry“ seiged the boat in his jaws, smashing it like kindling wood. The sailors leaped into the water in all directions. James Bartley, who had been steering the boat, was thrown up with the stern, which for the moment was almost perpendicular. His éomrades in the other boat saw him leap, but, unfortunately, on the instant the whale threw himself for- ward, and the luckless seaman in falling struck within the ponderous jaws, which im- mediately closed over him. The men in the water were picked up by the other boat and the whale was in due time killed and brougho alongside the steamer, and work was begun removing the blubber. A day and a night were consumed in the operation. Finally they opened the stomach. There, to their great astontsh- ment, they found Bartley peacefully reciin- ing as in a bath tub. He was unconscious, but still living. He had been in the whale’s stomach for nearly — 3 hours. They hauled him out, laid him upon the deck, and began to rub his limbs, which were purple, and besmeared with the blood of his late host. They gave him brandy to drink and at length he regained conscious- ness, but his reason was gone. For three weeks he remained in this condition, rav- ing about the deck and calling upon heaven to save him from the horrible furnace in which he imagined he was being consumed. After awhile all hallucinations wore away and he had lucid intervals, and then his recovery became permanent. Naturally, the first questions that his comrades asked him were what had been his emotions and im- pressions while in the stomach of the whale, A HORRIBLE BEDROOM. “I remember very well,“ he said, from the moment that I jumped from the boat and felt my feet strike some soft substance. I looked up and saw a big ribbed canopy of light pink and white descending over me, and the next moment I felt myself drawn downward feet first, and I realized that I was being swallowed by a whale. was drawn lower and lower; a wall of soft flesh surrounded me and hemmed me in on ever side, yet the pressure was not painful an E OS, e 1 n oie — — But He Was N fa" * * ada 8 ; ARS Be dt ee * — 9 Shs > W * 2 — — cota Ohad se ; N Ses ae 1 ore Resurrected and Lives to Tell the Stery. Do you see that man in gray? He has had the experience of having been shot, buried and resurrected.” This startling declaration was made to a Post-Dispatch reporter the other day at the Union Station by a gentleman liv- ing in Greene County, Illinois, and a rela- tive of the party with the wonderful ex- perience. The story seems very improbable, but appears to be fairly well substantiated, and a deeply sunken place on the fofehéad of the “man in gray“ is evidence of the allegation that he was shot. The man’s name was given as Bob Nichols, and his home as Granger County, Tenn. Several years ago in his locality moon- shiners abounded and their illicit operationg were carried on in the mountain fastnesses with but very irregular molestations, About every settler was more or less involved, and death was the portion of the man who interposed an objection or refu assist- ance or co-operation. The revenue offi- cers, however, became apprised of the con- dition of things in some way, and a. series of raids were made, during which nearly every still in the county wag captured and about all the male population taken to Knox- ville, either as defendants or witnesses in one or a dozen cases. Indignation meetings were held and a price set upon the head of the “informer.” An active search was begun and Nichols was arrested as the guilty party. He had not been in the moun. tains a great while and had associated with the 1 but very little, didn’t drink much and was greatly set down as a sus- picious character. One night a party of men went to his house and, capturing him, took him to a rock house or cave, where a trial was had, a physician acting as principal prose- cutor, It was shown that upon several oé- casicns he had acted unfriendly and once had the temerity to say that moonshining was dangerous business. This settled his guilt with them, and he was sentenced to be shot. When this conclusion was arrived at he was taken out and tied securely to a tree, a board was placed on the top of his head and upon this board was placed a few lighted pine knots, which illuminated the immediate surroundings and gave his slayer no excuse for making a poor shot of it. The men drew lots to see who should do the shooting, and 2 — Won“ that is what he call t—and stepped back twenty paces, rifle in hand. Nichols’ feelings during all the time these n were being settled can be magined possibly, but even he himself is unable to describe them accurately. He heard a papas. saw a flash, felt hie head eting and burn, and knew nothing more: He was placed in a shoe-box brought for the occasion and buried in a trench. That night just before day the physician, who possessed a business soul, dug up the box took the body and shipped it to a Cin- cinnati medical college, And all of the time Nichols was unconscious, Arri at the destination, the body was taken to the college and laid upon a dissecting table, where for the first time consciousness returned. Nichols heard one of the students say: See the blood flow; the man is surely alive.“ The proper restoratives were applied, and after a few hours the victim became thoroughly aroused from his lethargic — — SS te DISAPPEARING VIEW OF JAMES BARTLEY WHO WAS SWALLOWED BY A WHALE. — the Mississippi River.

There is an old saying that “the man who hesitates is lost.“ In this case the quota- tion was certainly true.

The horrible thought that I was con- demned to perish in the belly of a whale tormented me beyond endurance, while at the same time the awful silence of the ter- rible prison weighted me down.

At first sight this proposition seems ab- surd, yet when it is carefully considered it will be seen that, after all, it is placed on a scientific basis. It has been noticed for some time among those who have given careful attention to the subject of apiaries and their inhabitants, that some disease, untraceable in its nature, and yet exceed- ingly virulent, was monthly 5 chad hay more revalent among the swarms in the United ingdom. This disease seemed a sorg of murrain, which one bee communicat to another. Investigation showed it was a species of rabies, which the insects impart- ed to each other by bites. This was the conclusion the Surrey Bee Keepers’ Association reach at a recent meeting. In the course of a the president of the association, sey, chairman of the Surrey County Coun- cil. announced that it was the intention of many, if possible, to muzzle the bees in order to wet rid of the disease. It was finally decided that it would be best to ask Parliament to pass an act making it obligatory for bee owners to muzzle their insects precfBely as dogs are required to be muszled during certain peri- ods of the year in Engiand, and there is good reason for believing such an act will be passed by Parliament. © — — — — PIGMY WARRIORS IN MENELTK's ARMY. has been generally accepted.

Just how the muszles will be placed upon the insects, how they will be kept there. and of just what they will consist are detalls that have not yet been decided.

He says: “Certain speculators some years ago made artificial swamps on the banks of the Ga- ronnne, and filled the swamps with leeches. To be profitable these leeches must multi- ply themselves by millions; to do this they must be liberally supplied with food. To thus supply them the Bordelais speculators buy up old and worn-out horses, and drive or drag them into the swamps, which have wooden compartments, so placed that when these unhappy animals have been forced in- to the mud there is no escape for them. The leeches fasten on them by thousands. The horse is in a few moments black with crawling creatures; the bloodsuckers fx themselves most of all on the open wounds and galls.

One Is Working Great Mischief in a French Village. edt A “moving mountain” is working great mischief in the mining districts of the Gard, thirty miles from Nimes, in France. This mountain, known as the .Gouffre, is advancing at the rate of five yards a day towards the Gardon river, has already de- stroyed a big colliery, and threatens the main line of the Paris-Barcelona Railway. The crowning catastrophe will come when the mountain falls into and blocks up the river; for then the damming of the stream will mean the inundation of the whole country. The explanation of this phe- nomenon of a mountain in motion is sim-. ple. The Gouffre lies upon a layer of soft rock, which has been converted, by the heavy rainfall of the Cevennes, into a sort of tobogganing ground for the superim- osed layers; the layer underneath being of ard rock impervious to water. This un- happy combination of. strata has caused many terrible landslips, perhaps the most notable of which was the slipping forward of the Rossberg into the Lawke of Lowerz, whereby the whole village of Goldau was overwhelmed and destroyed. This hap- pened just ninety years ago. Quite re- cently a disaster of a similar nature de- curred at Elm, another Swiss village. The annals of Switzerland contain many records of this kind, though happily the landslips are seldom attended with great loss of life, because ample warning is given, as à rule, of the impending catastrophe. BALLAST FOR DUCKS. A Scientific Discovery That Elucidated a Puzzling Mystery. “Few people credit a duck with the sense he really possesses,” said Fred Ozenne, a isciple of Nimrod to a New Orleans Times- — reporter. For years 1 had been wondering what had caused the presence of a good-sized pebble bank on the shore of the lake in the Grandivola section of the Louisiana marsh. Had it been a sand bank I could have understood it, but it was com- posed of pebbles, all very much alike rounded and smooth, almost to a size, an apparently differing from the small stones found in the gravel beds of the South. Sev- eral of the hunters in that section had seen the pebble beach, and, like myself, they could not understand it. All winter long it seemed fresher than at other times, and during the summer the grass would kinder cover its upper r and the mud from the fresh water dim the luster of the stones near the edge. There was not anothe beach. like it in the marsh: “One winter, in fact, it was just when the first cold spell had struck us, I was hunting with a friend in the lake I spoke of. It was one of the finest ducking spots in the State. This was before they had begun to make giue from the eggs in Canada. When we reached the lake there was not a duck to be geen. The-next morning I was hiding in the grass near the pebble beach when I heard a sound of wings, and a. large flock of mallard settled near me. Before I could raise my = the entire lot walked out on the pebbie ank, and, to my astonishment, began to disgorge a lot of small stones like the ones Already there. This occupied but a short time, and the flock began quacking and sailed into the lake, and I shot several. This settled the mystery of the pebble beach. In the spring I was again hunting in the lake, and when the first warm weather came the ducks began to go home. They would come to the beach, and, after a few preliminaries, swallow a lot of pebbles, then fly around for a few minutes in order to see if their balance was J — If ey were too heavy they wou sgorge a few stones, or if we Sed 15 a — IM . oun y observation that tn order fo the ducks to make long flights it was neces sary for them to fill up with a certain num- ber of stones to secure @ proper equilibrium Sor the arn 2 After I found this out I always had plenty of game to friends.” show my BEAR-FACED DOGS. They Are Called “Wunks” and Come : From Asia. Jay Sedgwick of Tacoma was in St. Paul recently, and had with him a cou le of an- mals belonging to the canine — the like of which has not been before seen on the continent of North America. He held them in chains, although the beasts were entirely inoffensive, and he would not lowe sight of them, for wer were rare enough to be taken care of. hey were “wunks,” a species of — peculiar to the interior to the continent of Asia and the first of their kind ever — to America. The ani- mals were peculiar in that they have faces of bears and the body of a common dog. One was entirely black, and the color ex- tended to his mouth, his tongue being as black as though dipped in an ink well. The other was whitish. The animals looked very like woolly Spitz dogs, and were en- tirely domesticate€. They are to the Tar. tars what the collie is to the shepherd of Scotland.

N 8 The chief peculiarity of the Hoatzin con- sists in the fact that when it is hatched it possesses four well-developed, the front pair being of a reptilian- character. The young birds leave the nest and climb about like monkeys over the adjoining limbs and twigs, and act and look more like tree toads than birds. After hatching, the modification of the fore limbs begins, the claws of the digits falling off, and the whole of the claw-like hand becoming flat- tened, change into wings. After this modi- fication has taken place, feathers begin to grow, and in a short time not a vestige remains of its original character. The adult birds not only have no claws upon their wings, but their thumbs even, are so poorly developed that one would hardly suspect that in the nestling we have the nearest approach to a quadruped found among existing birds. A TRAINED SHRIMP. He Can Waltz and Do an Acrobatic Turn. A Tioga, Pa., man has probably the most curious pet on record. It is nothing more nor less than a trained shrimp. One would scarcel; believe a shrimp to be possessed of any intelligence, yet this little crusta- cean, whom his master has christened Nep- tune, really seems to be a most observing littla chap. Neptune is the pride of quite a large aquarium, in which he rules supreme, He is very foud of music, and when his master places a mouth organ against the glass side of the aquarium and plays, Nep- tune shows every manifestation of joy. He hops around on his tail and twirls his body as though dancing to the time of music. and when the strains cease he places his lit- tle nose against the glass as though beg- ging for more. His favorite airs are “A Life On the Ocean Wave” and “Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep.“ Neptune’s master has a little stick which he places itn the aquarium, and the shrimp will play about this for hours,-standing on his head, turn- ing handsprings and doing other equally markable things. . THE KOALA BEAR. Lives in Trees and Carries Its Cubs on Its Back. There is a bear in Australia known as the Koala bear. Very little is known of it. One lone specimen with her cub is in cap- tivity in England. Its peculiarity is that it lives in trees and the female carries her cubs on her back. The koala is a marsupial animal of Australia, commonly referred to the family Phalangistidae, resembling the halangers in dentition,but possessing much arger molar teeth. The koala has hardly the rudiment of a tail. It resembles a small bear. Its scientific name comes from two AUSTRALIAN TREE BEAR CARRYING HER CUB. Greek words meaning respectively a pouch and a bear. Its forefeet have five toes, two of which are opposed to the other ree. — peculiarity does not extend to the hind mbs. In speaking of the koala an authority sa that the animal lives much on trees.“ The hasty reader should not infer from this that the koala devours trees in its effort to sus- tain life. The idea meant to be conveyed is that the. tree bear spends a large part of his life in the branches of the Australian trees, The name koala is of Austrian origin, and seems to be an effort to put into one word the#Pecullar sounds uttered by the tree bear.

Extinct Patagoniam Bipeds With Legs Like a Horse. A monster hunting expedition has just been sent out by Princeton College. It is going to Patagonia, where there are more remarkable creatures, dead and alive, than in any other part of the world. The mem- bers of the party expect to make notable additions to the specimens of prehistoric creatures now in this country. In Patagonia have been dug up remains of extinct birds whose leg bones were big- ger than those of a horse. These gigantic fowls are massively built, and probably weighed as much as five hundred pounds when full grown. They had enormous heads, which in some instances measured nearly two feet from the back of the skull to the tip of the huge beak. Undoubtedly — were carnivorous, and, it is believed, waders, resembling herons in their habits, They could not fly at all. his strange country of Pa ma was the home of vast numbers of gigantic sloths, representing numerous species. Some of these queer animals were as big as two elephants, but extremely sluggish. They were very stupid, having nearly the smallest brains of any known mammals in proportion to their size. Their food was vegetables wholly, and it was a habit of theirs to pull up trees by the roots for. the purpose of getting at the foliage. For ‘this Purpose the monster would squat on its haunches, its massive hind legs and huge tail serving as a sort of tripod, while it grasped the tree trunk with its forearms and dragged it out of the ground. Not less strange than the sloths were the colossal glyptodons—precursors of the modern armadillos. Though bearing some sort of resemblance to tortoises, they were mammals. They had skeletons on the out- side of their bodies as well as on the inside; in other words, they were clad in an im- enetrable armor of bone from nose to tail, his armor was solid, and not flexible like that of the armadillo. Full-grown speci- mens attained a length of ten feet and a weight ot over a ton. In those days there were multitudes of huge creatures in Patagonia, which resem- bled modern ant-eaters, of the genus sloth and f:lly twelve feet long. N Over the plains of Patagonia 100,000 years ago roamed herds of animals related to the modern llamas, which are cousins to the camels of the Old World. Some of them were far larger than any camel, as is shown by bones that have been dug up. The whole country is full of the fossil remains of as- tonishing creatures, whose species have long since passed away. One object of the Princetor. expedition is to obtain data that will throw light on the relation of the fauna of that region to the fauna of North America. It is believed that many species of animals now inhabiting the United States —notadly certain rodents, such as the gopher—originated in Patagonia and made their way gradually northward. The modern fauna of Patagonia is hardly less remarkable than that which is extinct. At the southern extremity of that country the guanacos—animals of the camel tribe— have a dying place.” It is a spot to which all of these beasts inhahitating the neigh- boring plains repair at the approach of death to deposit their bones. Darwin first recorded this strange tnstinct of theirs, and his observations have since been fully confirmed by others. Accurately speaking, there are several of these dying places, the best known being on the banks of the Santa Cruz and Gallegos rivers, where the valleys are covered with dense thickets of bushes and trees of stunted growth. There the ground is scattered thickly with the bones of countless dead generations, the animals in most cases having crawled before dying beneath and among the bushes. The strange armadillo, one of the most ancient of surviving creatures, figures con- spicuously in the fables current among the natives of Patagonia, being represented as an animal fertile in expedients and du- ping other beasts, especially the fox, just as rer Rabbit doés. Snakes, venomous or otherwise, are its favorite prey, and it kills them actually by sawing them in two with bony shell, The armadillo sems to be proof against the venom of the serpent. In the same part of the world is found a venomous species of toad, the bite of which is often fatal. It is extremely hideous, and bigger than a man's fist. It snaps Savagely at anything that comes near, hanging on with the tenacity of & bulldog. When teased it swells itself to such an extent as to appear as if about to burst. There is a species of frog in Patagonia known as the wrestling frog,“ Which does not hesitate to attack human beings. Dr. W. H. Hudson, the naturalist, tells of an ad- venture, says the San Francisco Examiner, he had while out snipe shooting one day when, peéring into thé disused burrow o some rodent animal, he saw a burly-looking frog sitting within it. “Though it watched me attentively,”’ he says, the frog remaified erfectly motionless, and this surprised me. efore I was sufficiently near to make a grab. it sprang straight at my hand, and, catching two of my fingers with its forelegs, administered a hug so sudden and violent as to cause an acute sensation of pain. Then it released its hold and leaped away.” The supposition is that this frog relies on its hugging power to astonish an adversary, and in the confusion which follows, it es- capes, SNAPPING TURTLES FIGHT. They Hold on For Two Months and | Will Till It Thunders. Two months ago a ‘crowd of coal miners near Newport, N. T., took two snapping turtles to a cockpit and forcing their jaws open poured whisky down their throats. Then they were turned loose on each other and about $800 was wagered on the fight, with the understanding that no decision would be made until one of the snappers be up or was killed. The turtles fought ercely, each tearing his antagonist’s head and neck with his horny beak until one obtained a grip on the other’s flipper. After a brief but ineffectual struggle to break his antagonist’s hold, the turtle whose flipper was thus caught seized the other by the neck. Aside from a sawing motion there was no further demonstration for several hours. The crowd of miners watched them from early evening until long after mid- night, when the turtles, each retaining his grip on the other, were placed in the cellar of a deserted house. This was two months ago, and since then neither of the snappers has shown any signs of weakening his hold upon the other, and the bets have not yet declared off. 5 “THE LEAP YEAR BIRD.

Cavalry experts and cowboys used to long-distance riding say that he weighs too much, also that he can have no conception what hard- ships the trip implies, and must be un- fitted to cope with them. It is Maj. Barbour’s frontier experience and light weight which make Col. Cody, Maj. Burke and others of his friends con- fident that he can and will accomplish this feat. He has been attacked by wolves at night, he has had encounters with all sorts of wild men and wild beasts.

The most important event of the week, and an altogether delightful affair, was the fourth, and I believe, last concert of the season of the St. Louis Quintette Club, given on Tuesday evening et Memoriel L * The hall was filled, es usual, and the usual enthusiasm and interest prevailed throughout the programme. The club was in fine form, and played the Haydn quartette in D and the Dvorak quintette which they gave here last sea- gon. Mrs. Davis sang séveral songs in an eable manner, with a delighful fresh- mess of voice and purity ef intomation. Of thege the “Serenata, of Tosti,” and To Spring,” of, Gounod, were perhaps the most succes#ful, though the Ave Maria,” from C eria, with violin, ‘cello, organ { obligato, made a fine impression. — erich and Mr. Robyn gave the sonata in F a forceful and finished But the gem of the evening was the Dvorak quintette. This superb work, — one of the greatest examples of modern chamber music composition, with ite wealth of fresh and beautiful melody, its striking rythmg, its bold originality of treatment and its fascinating Slavonic col- or, received 4 superb interpretation at the hands of the club. Never have they played with more delicacy of expression and sur- ety of execution, with more freedom, nerve a don, than in this last number of their last recital. A fitting close for a brilliant and successful season. Can it be true, as a musical friend as- sures me, that in the large audience of Theater, with the composer at the piano, was remarkably well received on both oc- casions. The applause was hearty and pro- longed and a repetition demanded and, in part, anted. Mr. Conrath, who has heretofore devoted his creative talents to the smaller forms of pianoforte composition, has proved in this work his ability to meet successfully the more exacting demands of the larger forms as well. The Concert-stuck is a work of dis. tinct musical merit. The themes are pleas- ing and melodious, the workmanship is neat and scholarly and the harmonic treatment is adequate and at times brilliant. The organ part played by Mr. Kunkel, in addition to the second piano accompani- ment, contributed considerably to the ef- fectiveness of the rendition. It turns out after all, according to Cincin- nati judgment, at i t. that the member of a musical club hag not the right to express bas or her unfavorable opinion of his or her Own club, Mr. Heinking of the Orpheus Club, whose troubles with his club were spoken of in this column last week has been expelled by a vote of 39 to 9. And he was the father of the club,“ too. Anybody would have sup- — under the circumstances that he might ave beer allowed’ a little latitude in the paternal prerogative of fault-finding. But the “Orpheus” thought differently, and the result is discord. Mr. Heinking, it is said, intends starting & new singing society at once. One of thé hopeful signs of the times is the altered etatus of music in our American universities—om rather, perhaps, the fact that music is allowed a status at all. With musicians at the Quintette concert, the members of the ladies’ musical clubs were conspicuous by their absence? My friend tells me that he counted the house care- fully, and that he was able to count less than a half a dozen. Such a condition of affairs is certainly extraordinary. What can it mean? One would suppose in the natural order of a that chamber music, well playec, could nc appeal to any class of elan more Yectively than to those whose avowed object and aim is the culture and = ae —— of the highest in musi- . art—music pure and absolute.

A Flodting Hotel Where Weary Willies Live Like Humans. Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Messrs.

These gentlemen, whose business it is to measure pavements, have now an exclusive club house of their own—a new floating pal- ace.
