As far as can be learned Kuhn left St. Louis on Friday, April 7, and had $20,000 in cash on his person.

It Is Believed That Hammond Will Not Be Put to Death. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 28.—Sena- tors Perkins and White were very much surprised when shown the cable announcing that Hammond had been sentenced to death. It was their impression that when the plea of 8 was made that an under- standing had been reached which would not mean the death penalty. Senatar Perkins expressed the belief that the law required such a sentence, but that the Government will commute it. The California Senators probably will ask through the State De- partment that clemency be shown Ham- mond, although Senator White says that in the face of a plea of guilty of high treason he is not sure that this Government could make a very strong representation. The be- lief is expressed here that Hammond before returning to Pretoria had some understand- ing on-the subject of the sentence to be pronounced and the proceedin that would follow the sentence. It is believed he will not be put to death. Confirmed at Pretoria. When brought into the Four Courts he looked greatly downcast.

Almost all these obliga- tions are worthless, for the securities for them are in the shape of second, third and ourth deeds of trust. In other cases the enders are entirely without security, Kuhn having induced em to surrender their Goode of trust as he did in the case of Mrs. Alter. After the suits were filed against Kuhn 1. Carl Otto, who represent tiffs, was besieged in his office, by other creditors. They continued to appear Tuesday morning, and Mr. Otto’s office was crowded almost the entire day. His visitors were of a class who could ill afford the loss they seem destined to sus- tain. They were men and women who had laced the savings of years, won by hard abor and strictest economy, in uhn's hands, full of confidence in him because of his long residence among them and the grand display of wealth he made. Before Mr. Otto’s office was opened Tues- day morning, sad scenes were enacted in front of Kuhn's office at 621 Pine street, now in 233 of Sheriff Troll under the at- tachment suit filed by 8. Hecht Monday, ‘For an hour Kuhn's victims continued to appear in front of the place, men and wom- en, the latter weeping and the former with looks of despair upon their faces. They dame singly and in twos and threes, peered through the glass door of the office and read the placard stating that Sheriff Troll was in charge. Many of them knocked at the door.

The Preposed Applicatien to the Gov- erner for Clemency. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, April 28.—No ap- plication has been filed with Gov. Stone asking for executive clemency in the Tay- lor case. Attorneys are expected 90 reach the city to present the case to the Gover- nor this afternoon. l WILL HANG „ Men Whe outraged Women Are Sen- tenced to Death. Special to the Post-Dispatch. FORT SMITH, Ark., April 28.—Lucky Davis, Louis Davis, Rufus Buck, Mamoi July, Sam Sampson and Ed Wilkey, alias Davis, were sentenced in the Federal Court this morning to be hanged on Wednesday, July 1, for crimes against women committed in the Indian Territory. “Lucky” Davis is a negro; Wilkey, white, and the others are Indians. Wilkey’s victim was Mrs. Lillian Arnett, living near Paw Paw, in the Cherokee Nation, while the Buck gang’s victim was Mrs. Rosetta Hars, living near Okmulgee, in the Creek Nation. There is little doubt that the execution will be enforced, as all cases have been to the Supreme Court and affirmed. ST. LOUIS BRIDGE BILL Little Attention to Be Paid the Oppos- ing Bridge Interests. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 28.—The hearing before the Senate Sub-Committee on Commerce yesterday afternoon brought out nothing especially new as to the opposition to the Murphy bridge bill. The point was made by many of those opposing it in the interest of the river and grain in- terests that their opposition would be pla- cated by the Senate amending the bill so that it shall be mandatory on the War De- partment to locate the new structure not less than one and one-half miles from either of the two bridges. Senator Elkins, by much questioning, brought out this essential point. That the committee will pay little attention to the opposing bridge interests was evident from a statement made by Senator Vest for the information of Senator Elkins. Senator Vest said that it was evident thar the two bridges were controlled by one in- terest, which practically dictated what should be done. . see,“ said Senator Elkins, with a smile, that these people are in the power of Gould.” While the committee has reached no de- cision, it is thought that the bil! will be re- ported favorably with an amendment to satisfy the river and grain interests. In the hearing yesterday there was some lively repartee, in which Hugh Brady of St. Louis maintained himself with force and vigor. He proved by specific instances that evening.

Twenty Theusand Rifles and 4.000, 000 Cartridges Better Than a Recognition. 17 NEW YORK, April 8.—A letter from Antonio Maceo, one of the chief insur- gent leaders in the field, has been received at the Cuban revolutionary headquarters here. The letter was written at El Rubi, Pinar Del Rio, is dated April 14 and is ad- dressed to T. Estrada Palma. The writer says: “Just now with us everything goes on very well and there is no doubt of our ability to trilumph—if by no other means, then “by exhausting Spain. However, as an early termination of the war is what must be sought, and as I read in the papers that it is discussed whether the United States should intervene or not, and I have no doubt that, impelled by your patriot- ism, you make every effort to obtain what- ever may be beneficial for Cuba, I take the liberty of remarking that the surest way of bringing the war to a very early termi- nation would be to place here some 20,000 rifles and four millien cartridges. If the United States, observing their own laws would not interfere with the shipments of arms and ammunition for us, it would be & great service rendered to Cuba. without rovoking any complications with Spain, or, ag I understand it, these shipments would be perfectly legal. I have been compelled by circumstances to resort to extreme measures. Gen. Wey- ler in his desire to gain glory and obstruct i= recognition of our belligerency, went in his proclamations so far as to promise 1 planters that they would be able to grind their sugar cane, while to the gov- ernment he gore the assurance that the elections could be peaceably held, and to the country at large he declared that Pinar | Del Rio and some other provinces would be soon pacified. Some of the planters have shown themselves willing to believe that the General would keep his promise, and began to get ready for grinding. the cane. “Under the circumstances, I made up my mind to invade Pinar Del Rio again, in order to show that we are fully able to compel obedience to the orders of our Gov- ernment. * “I am perfectly satisfied with the success which has attended all my operations dur- ing this second invasion, which shall last es long as there is anything to destroy from which Spain may derive any revenue. As — will see, the discredit which the proc- amations of Weyler were intended to throw on our revolution has, through what we have accomplished, fallen on Spain, whose * to control our movements has been again plainly shown.“ J. P. MORGAN’S BID. A Report That He Wants $9,000,000 of the Cuban Loan. NEW YORK, April 28.—The Journal gives prominence to a rumor from Washington that J. Pierpont Morgan bid for $9,000,000 of the Cuban loan at 62% cents on the dol- lar. If this is true, it is reasonable to sup- pose that Mr. Morgan has satisfied himself that the the Gul States will ultimately recognige uban cause. Senor Pals den the Cuban Junta said it was true that the committee had received a bid et $0/000,000 of the proposed issue of bonds, but he would not say that the price stated was correct. When asked if the offes came from J. Pierpont Morgan or his firm or his associates, Senor Palma said that he thought it had. “Who else could bid so high?“ he asked. Until our committee meets, we cannot say whether or not it will be accepted, but we know now that Cuba’s cause is strong.”’ “Do you think that the Administration is inclined to think better of Cuba?’’ “Oh, I cannot speak for the Administra- tion, but strong financiers have faith in us, undoubtedly.“ TOBACCO DESTROYED. Insurgents Burn Property Valued at More Than $1,000,000. NEW YORK, April 28.—A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: Trains are running to Pinar del Rio City. The general health is bad there and many poor people from the flelds who are with- out homes are dying. No business is done and there is great suffering. Many plan- tations around Dimas, including three hun- dred buildings, have n destroyed and there is nothing left to support life, Three thousand hands in the tobacco fields are without work and are now in Dimas. More than 40,000 bales of tobacco were destroyed. The loss is estimated at more than $1,- 000 008, that of Pedro -Murias alone being THE BERMUDA SAILS, And Three Spanish War-Ships Are in Her Wake.

MRS, COMBS’ ALIMONY, It Is $100 4 Month, Which She Thinks Is Insufficient. “Mrs. Combs, you will have to be satis- fied.with $100 a month alimony, $250 in gross and the absolute title to the household furniture,” said Judge Klein Tuesday, in 1 Mrs. Annie H. Combs a divorce rom Luther M. Combs. She answered that she could get along with the allowance made if she were not purdened with the care of her eldest daugh- er. “Then you must practice economy, Mrs. Combs; we all have to do that,” and Judge Klein closed she case. The testimony of Mrs. Combs and her witnesses as to Mr. Combs’ alleged cruelty wes not rebutted by him, although he was the plaintiff in the case. His petition had been dismissed for non-payment of alimony and the case ordered to trial 4 Judge Klein on the defendant's cross bill. Mrs. Combs testified that on one occasion the plaintiff threw a bread board and a butcher knife at her; that he made threats against her life, and was given to drink. She also testified that on May 27, 1895, at 1 o’clock in the morning, at their home, 4546 Cook avenue, he struck her repeatedly and she had him arrested. He was fined $10 in the Police Court. Officer Berry, who made the arrest, con- firmed the testimony and added that Combs claimed that his wife threw a clock at him. Mrs. Monroe and Mrs. Woodlock testified to Combs’ alleged harsh treatment of his wife. Attorney Sievin, for Mrs. Combs, made a hard fight for more alimony than the court allowed, on the plead that Mr. Combs, who has an office on Fourth street, is the agent for a large Eastern concern and has an income of $400 a month... Mr. Combs, in his original petition, al- leged that the defendant had a violent tem- r and that she was a religious fanatic. s charged that she pointed a revolver at him on one occasion and that she moved to Florissant during his absence and without his consent. There are six children and Mrs. Combs was given the custody of Alma, Alphonsus, Dora and Lorajne. FREE ALCOAOL BILL Its Opponents Think It Can Be De- feated in Caucus. WASHINGTON, April 2%.—There was some discussion to-day among Republicans about considering the free alcohol bill re- ported last week from the Finance Com- mittee, but Senator Sherman, in charge of the measure, decided not to interfere with the consideration of the naval! 1 98 tion bill. There was also a partial under- standing that the alcohol bill should not be taken up until the Steering Committee has arranged an order of business which will be submitted to the Republican caucus. The opponents of the alcohol bill think the consideration of the measure can be defeated in caucus. DIPHTHERIA GERMS SLAIN. Reentgen Ray Experiments at the University of Missouri.

NO. S. MAIL” ON HIS CARS Ordered to Erase These Werds on An Cars Not Actually Engaged in Carrying Government Mail. Another ideal has been shattered. John Scullin, who owns more street cars than some people do beer checks, will have to come down from his pedestal. Time was when the brass-buttoned, blue- coated guild and others not of the craft that manipulates the register fondly cher- ished the delusion that John Scullin cut all kinds of ice with the powers that be at Washington. There was even a tradition that when „Col.“ Scullin frowned the department clerks in the city opposite Georgetown quaked in fear, and that when the magnate uttered virile cuss words the Cabinet trembled like the traditional aspen leaf. Mr. Scullin himself fattened on these ru- mors, and in time came to think that he was indeed a great personage, a modern Colos- sus of Rhodes between whose outspread legs poh ny i cars passed in endless proces- sion; who had pent up lightning and unpent odoriferous belcher water to frighten his enemies. From harboring such delusions he came to believe that he was a power at the nation’s capital; that he would be honoring the plethoric Grover by offering him a position as conductor or transfer dispenser. In various ways he worked his little graft and laid his wires so well that he induced the, Postoffice Department at Washington to put mail cars on his labyrinthian lines in St. Louis. ; This was all right. Nobody kicked and Mr. Seullin was well on the way to being made an idol by those who wrote letters to themselves and to others, when it was developed as it often has been before, that John Scullin had a little scheme. The mail cars hadn’t been on 4 week when the wily magnate had a score of minions busy painting the magic words U. S. Mail’’ on every passenger car on his line. Just ten days ago the first of the newly labeled cars came out. They excited comment from the first. The knowing ones could only figure it out one way and that was that Col.“ Scullin was getting ready to force Federal protection of his cars in case of a strike. Some of those interested in the matter sought to learn by what authority Uncle Sam's name was used to grace a common ordinary trolley. They found local postal authorities woe- fully ignorant. Postmaster Carlisle was at first surprised and shocked and started on a bee line for the street railway man’s office. On second thought he concluded that Mr. Scullin must have gotten permission from Washington, So Mr. Carlisle did not interfere. Postoffice Inspector Johnson also thought the matter out of his jurisdiction. . Meanwhile the newly labeled cars bowled merrily on, „Col.“ Scullin himself when seen admitted that the United States Government had one out of its way to grant him the privi- ege of using its name on his cars. Then Superintendent of the Malls Robert- son came back from Washington, where Mr. Scullin had left him a week before, and acknowledged that he advised Mr. Scullin that he might put U. S. Mail’ on his rolling stock any old time. They thought differently at Washington, though, and when the news reached the Postoffice Department, Assistant Postmas- ser General asten came to St. Louis hot oot. He conferred with F. B. Norton, superin- tendent of the Seventh District of the Ralil- way Mail service. The two officials decided that Mr. Scullin was biting off more than he had a right to chew. They had a red-hot conference with the magnate. The result was that a small army of work- men was 2 Tuesday morning erasing the “U. S. Mail” signs from the cars, The magic words were on the cars just ten short, fleeting days. For this space of time Mr. Scullin was in his own estimation an integral part of the United States Government. Now he's wondering whether a man ma not push a good thing along too vigorously. S. P. Tatt, assistant superintendent, of the Railway Mail service for this district, sald yesterday that Mr. Scullin never had any right or authority to use the words “U. Mail,” and that he did so in direct violation of the postal laws.

The scheme cannot be carried if tHe McKinley delegates stand to their colors. They outnumber the Cullomites in the convention more than 6 to 4, and are led by Gen.

It will be a beautiful fight with the ‘prospect of splitting the Republican ma- chine in — into — pieces. BLACKBURN STAN. DS FIRM. There will be no compromise in Ken- tucky. The fight that was forced last autumn by Secretary Carlisle and his gold standard supporters will be fought to a finish. The recent stories to the effect that an arrangement had been made for a truce, as a result of which Mr. Carlisle was to get the delegates to the National Conven- support of the Administration factionists for the Senate, are now discredited. Sec- retary Carlisle has declared himself op- posed to any compromise, and Senator Blackburn gave a statement to the press last night in which he denies that any convention meets. tion and Mr. Blackburn was to have the fort to-‘show that the silver sentiment of the country was waning was a failure. What is this new organization expected to do in the way of deception? It is to be regretted that we cannot have our water perfect when the great There are those who are skeptical ag to the probability of any polftician wanting a drink of water, but we ought always to be prepared for the unexpected.

Charles Frederick Vogel was born in Neu- . From the Plattsburg Go.) Leader. Lincoln was nominated and elected be- to principle, his high character and personal excellence. Bland is to the silver cause what Lincoln was to that of human free- dom. Lincoln had the confidence and es- teem of the common people. Bland is his counterpart in those qualities that have a commanding influence at certain epochs in the history of mankind, He has done more than any other man for the cause of silver, and has made it the subject of his supreme interest and effort. The revolution which ig destined to sweep from place and power those who have endeavored to put the people in financial bondage finds in Bland the leader of its idea and purpose. Elect Dick Bland. From the Centralia (Mo.) Courier. Elect Honest Dick Bland President and jobs and steals and monopolies and syndi- cates and bond issues would have a stub- born foe in the White House that they could not bulldoze or buy or drive or in- timidate. Elect him President and he would collar the gold putocracy of the Bast and choke the life out of the blodd-sucking vam- pire. Elect him and we would have a Democratic administration indeed and in truth. The People’s Man. ed for cookery it ma in a water ‘sia. His courtry’s welfare is the sole incentive that has kept Honest Old Dick tn public life. From the Mexico (Mo.) Intelligencer. There is no sturdier, truer man than Rich- ard Parks Bland. He stands for the great masses against the classes. In all his long public life no whisper of double dealing was ever associated with his honored name. The rights of the people would be safe in the hands of such à man. A Useless Contest. From the Plattsburg (Mo.) Leader. If Chairman Maffitt is a good Democrat he will not urge a useless, unjustifiable and unsuccessful contest for a seat in the Chicago Convention; he will rather becom- ingly abide the almost unanimous decision of the Sedalia Convention, and thus prove himself a Democrat of the true stripe one who hides himself in the presence of the greater—that is, his party. Richard P. Bland. From the Appleton City (Ao.) Herald. He is the great commoner, the true friend of the people. He is the champion of bi- metallism, the logical candidate of the people for President in 1896. Plain, straight- compromise or adjustment has ever been offered by the gold men to him or sug- — Isested by him to them. He declares that Busi Tarn — in the coming State convention the is- moss Office. ........+cecsceveeene eee Editorial Room. mee „% |} Sue between the gold monometallists and — the silver men will be definitely and finally settled, and he expresses the hope that the Democratic convention in Ken- tucky will send a delegation to Chicago pledged to restore silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to L. In this statement Senator Blackburn has defimed the issue and flung down the gage of battle to the Administrationists. During the next five weeks Kentucky will be the theater of the fiercest contest between the Democrats and the Admin- istrationists that is likely to precede the National Convention. It is to be hoped that Senator Blackburn appreciates the significance of the contest and the neces- sity of winning. He should take the stump himself without delay, and should summon to his aid the Democrats of other States whose services would prove valuable. chatel, Switzerland, March 22, 1845. With his parents he came to St. Louis in 185, where in the public schools he received his education. In 1860 he began as clerk in the office of a justice of the peace. When the civil war broke out he enlisted as a drummer boy, serving till the close, Mr. Vogel then returned to St. Louis and studied law. He served as Deputy County Clerk, and was for two terms Clerk of the Circuit Court. In 1887 he retired from public life and entered the real estate business, in which he is now engaged. He is a prominent Knight Templar and Odd Fellow. In 1869 Mr. Vogel was married to Miss Laura M. Fisher. MEN OF MARE. Senator Wolcott of Colorado is regarded as the best amateur cyclist in Washington.

The most bitterly contested struggle, perhaps, in the entire ante-convention campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination will begin to-morrow in the capital of Illinois. The retreating bosses will make a stubbofm stand against Mc- Kinley’s victorious progress. Nomina- tions for State offices, which usually take precedence, will on this occasion be only a side show. The election of national delegates will constitute the chief at- traction of the convention circus, Congressmen Grdsvenor and Aldrich, the Washington managers of the McKin- ley and Reed booms, are on the ground and representatives of the other candi- dates will be present to assist in the work against the Ohloan. Over 3,000 politi- clans from various parts of Illinois are already in Springfield and Sunday, yes- terday and to-day were filled with the preliminary skirmishitngs af the oppos- ing factions. John R, Tanner, the prospective nom- inee for Governor on the Republican ticket, will lead the forces against Me- Kinley, and he will be seconded by Mar- tin B. Madden, Doc Jamieson and the other leaders of the county faction of Chicago Republicans, An effort will be made to force the convention to send an tininstructed del- gu tion to St. Louis, as was done in Mary- land and Connecticut.

Senator Morgan’s scathing arraign- ment of Collis P. Huntington for corrupt- ly juggling the stockholders of the Cen- tral Pacific Railroad out of the earnings and profits of that property for years and brazenly asking the remission of the millions of debt which that company owes the national government and of which he and the railroad harpies as- sociated with him have been the sole beneficiaries, is the most scandalous dis- closure that has occurred since the Credit Mobilier, whisky ring and De Golyer pavement jobs were exposed. It deserves to take front rank among these and other huge scandals incubated when Republican majorities controlled Con- gress, Senator’ Morgan’s exposure of Hunt- ington is fortified by facts supplied from the evidence glven by Huntington him- self before the Senate Committee on Rall roads. Unfortunately for public detency and honesty it is a minority repert. The majority of the committee ²e with the rapacious President of thé Southern Pa- cific and if the moralMty of this Repub- lican Congress is on a par with that of past ones his ds mands will be granted. On top of its approval of the gigantic robbery denounced by Seffator Morgan, Congress is preparing to vote this same Huntington $3,000,000 for Santa Monica Harbor. This improvement is solely for the benefit of the Southern Pacific Rail- road and will still further fasten the clutches of this colossal monopoly upon the transcontinental commerce of the country. It is a scandalous steal and should be defeated. TAE BRIDGE BILL HEARING. The opponents of the Murphy bridge bill, before the Senate Committee on Commerce, are basing their arguments on a wrong theory, namely, that the city of St. Louis exists to supply custom to steamboat companies. The opponents of a bridge across the Hudson River act on the same absurd theory. To them the city of New York is merely a feeder for Hudson River traffic. They care nothing for the inconvenience that citizens are put to from inadequate bridge facilities. American engineers and river men ought to be ashamed to oppose a third bridge for St. Louis on the ground that it would be dangerous to boats. Let them examine maps of the cities of London and Paris. The bridges there are very numerous and comparatively close to- gether, Yet, making allowance for the difference in size of the rivers and boats, the conditions in those cities were as difficult as they are on the Mississippi at St. Louls. To the small boats in use for passenger traffic on the Thames and the Seine the current is as strong and treacherous in those streams ds it is to the larger boats that are in use here. The problem the Thames boatmen and bridge builders had to contend with was complicated by the great and rapid rise and fall of the tide twice in every twenty- four hours. The engineers met this prob- lem by constructing stronger machinery. A third bridge a mile from the Eads bridge would not be dangerous to boats with modern machinery. — SC — — — 9 — — s Michigan is an accession to the free silver ranks which, though hoped for, was hardly expected. The campaign there has attracted so little attention out- side the State that the announcement that the free silver men have already elected enough delegates in the county conventions to control the State conven- tion and instruct the delegates to Chi- cago for free silver, comes as a surprise, It demonstrates that the leaven le work- ing everywhere, and throws a tesque ligfit upon the oft-repeated assertions about the waning of the “silver craze.” Wisconsin and Minnesota are the only Northwestern States that are likely to be in line with the John Sherman faction of the Democratic party at at Chicago.

She weighed a little less than 400 pounds, Mrs. Lucretia Perrin of Exeter Township, near Wilkesbarre, Pa., celebrated her 108d birthday on April 16. She was born in Ax dover, N. H.

Miss Mabel Kennedy, an attractive young woman not yet 20, is the cashier of the Merchants’ Bank of Forsythe, Mont.

(Consort of King Menelik of Abyssinia.) The Other Fellows Coming In. vrem the Springfield (Mo.) Leader Demo- erat. No more are goldites sneering at the friends of free coinage. No more do we hear the contemptuous reference to the “silver craze.”’ that it cannot pooh pooh away the strength of the silver men in the South and West. Here in Missouri the enemies of the white metal have changed their plan of cam- paign from domineering and haughty scowls to beggings and pleadings. And this is not confined to the Democrats who have gone through the struggle of the issue and decided unanimously for free coinage. In spite of the most energetic ef- fort on the part of the Republican leaders to keep down the question it is fast rising above everything else in that political or- ganization. It is the prime issue and the rank and file of the Republicans are inves- tigating it. Made No Mistake. From the Paris (Mo.) Mercury. The Missouri Democracy made no mis- take when they presented the name of Hon, R. P. Bland as their choice for President. After a service of twenty years in public life his name to-day stands for all that is pure, sound and incorruptible, A Man of the People. From the Maryville North Missourian, With Mr. Bland as President there would be no more bonds issued in times of peace, no more bond syndicates and no suspicion of a partnership between the White House and Wall street. Mr. Bland would not accumu- late a fortune while President; he did not do so while in Congress. Many men have grown rich in public life, but he is not one of these. He has given his entire time and service to the people and he has not tried to make money out of their necessities. The country needs such a man as Mr. Bland in the Presidency—a man of the people, Next President. From the New London (Mo.) Record. Dick Bland will be the next President of the United States. He is the embodiment of the idea of 16 to 1 and the natural cham- pion of free silver. His ability is ad- mitted, the purity of his public and private life is unquestioned, his past acts are consistent, and his nomination and election will be a guaranteee of prosperity and hap- piness among the people, Of his election, in case of nomination, there can be no doubt.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CARTHAGE, Mo., April 28.—Ten days ago the Light Guard Band announced that they had engaged Robert G. Ingersoll to lecture here on ursday evening, April 30, but not on a religious subject. Immediately the min- istry began to protest and a church concert Was gotten up for the same date, but yes- ' terday the postponement of the concert was announced, the reason assigned being the iliness of the principal rformer. The sale of seats for Ingersoll, which began yesterday morning, has been unprecedented. A full house is already assured. In a morn- ing paper tne Ministerial Alliance published A card urging Christian people to stay away from the lecture. The squabble is the talk of the town and expressions of opinion, pro and con, are in everybody's mouth. SPLIT ALL TO PIECES. Alabama Republicans Holding Two Conventions To-Day. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MONTGOMERY, Ala., April 28.—Alabama Republicans have split on the McKinley queation. The feeling grew so high that Gov. Oates this morning refused to allow them the use of the Capitol building. The McKinleyites secured Dorsett's, a small hall, and opened up at 12 with C. W. Buckley as temporary chairman, is con- vention was composed largely of white Re- publicans. The anti-McKinleyites secured Hunter’s warehouse, where, without tables or chairs, the convention was called to order by Chair- man Moseley. Before he finished his intro- ductory speech, a dry oods box was brought in and became the rostrum. C. O. Sheats of Decatur was made temporary chairman. The speeches made roasted Gov. Oates for refusing the use of the Capitol, and the other faction for scaring Gov. Oates with talk of riot and blood- shed. JAMIESON’S RAIDERS. Their Trial in London Adjourned Till June 11.

The early cables held out no encouragement, as they reported Liverpool d lower and London inactive, and the Northwest reported 642 cars re- ceived, doubling last Tuesday's and 102 cars larger than a year ago. Winter wheat markets receipts, however, were small—31,000 bu, against 57,000 bu one -year ago. The weather map showed little rain had falen in spring wheat sections, except in Mani- toba, but Ohicago apparently had plenty of rain and predictions for rain in the Northwest, and after opening lower that market rallied some, thus checking the decline and selling bere and steady- ing the market. hipments of 962,000 bu were reported for Du- luth, the first to go out by lake, and the clearances from four ports in flour and wheat were equiva- lent to 286,000 bu, but most of this was flouf. 8 reported 1.483.000 bu decrease in vallable supplies east of the Rockies, where the regular visible decreased 537,000 bu, and that the world’s stock had been reduced 1,049,000 bu, against 2,260,000 bu decrease a year ago. Bradstreet’s report caused only a momentarily de- pressing effect. e closing Liverpool was low- er, but domestic markets gained in strength late in the session, St. Louis especially being right stout. Shorts were nervous over the failure of the mar- ket to break and as there was little for sale this market drew nearer to Chicago. Spot Grades—Almost neglected on call.

These markets shipped 389,000 bu and from five a considerable amount cleared. Foreign mar- ets were fet, but unchanged.

There were four of us when we first came a plain, dark dress. As to Stiles’ myself. Fred and I wore old chums. We aad been at college together, and, in palm- ter days, had shared a studio in St. John's Wood. Dick Maynard was a very prince of | good fellows, but his career as an artist and a Bohemian was, unfortunately, nipped in the bud by an inconsiderate great-aunt, who died and left him a fortune. The old life had still some satisfaction for him, however, and when we moved to Stiles’ Row he took the fourth studio there and occasionally came and lectured to us about art. Darton, too, had been with us from the first; but when he left, and his rooms stood empty, it was astonishing how little we missed him. Our tiny circle seemed only drawn the loser for his defection. Probably, as Fred made him one of us at all. He had always had a hankering for the brazen pots of Philistinism. Penury had been a source of constant irritation to him. The small privations, which we had learnt to look upon with a sort of philosophic tolerance, galled him. Tho jest of empty pockets appealed in no way to his sense of humor, His Bohemianiam had been only skin-deep. With us it seemed to have passed into our blood, and into the very sinews of our daily life. But that we were still human, | however, we had soon to learn. Fred had brought his work into my room one afternoon, and was standing before his easel gazing at an unfinished picture, with a frown upon his handsome face. There was a knock at the door. Fred looked at me and scowled. “It's that grocer, Johnny he remarked, savagely. lle said he should come this afternoon. Who told him I was up here, I] wonder? Meddlesome idiot! Hold on a minute!“ He passed behind the high screen which and threw him- self upon the bed. “Come in,“ I called out. The door was opened, and a girl crossed the threshold. We did not want to see any woman about the place. In this respect we were peculiar but sincére. I went on paint- ing, without a second glance at her. “We neither of ve want a model,” I vol- unteered; can't afford to pay them. Shut the door, please.” She closed the door, but remained inside. Can't your” she said. “I am sorry. But She I turned round and looked at her. Wes tall and wore an artist's over Row—Darton, Fred, Dick and | I have never attempted to describe her, and |} bowed with such dignity as a man may to her appearance, i. master the principle of the those instructions again, Fred. We approached our task with a certain amount of*cheerfulness. As time went on, our faces fell, our complacency deserted us. thing. Read I never shall. Dick could do it by the hour. I never could. I only know that she was | beautiful, and she stood there laughing at me. “I am your new neighbor,” she explained,“ the corners of her mouth still twitching. I have taken the rooms below, which a Mr. Darton used to have. Do you understand stoves? I have been trying to make some tea for half an hour, but, voila!—that is all I have succeeded in doing.“ She held up a pair of small, black hands, I laughed, too. It was irre- s.stible. “Stoves?” I repeated. I don't know. I'll come and see, if you like.” “If you really wouldn’t mind! Good gra- cious! what is that?’’ I followed her startied eyes. In his eager- ness to see the newcomer, Fred had mounted on to my bed, and was look! over the screen, frowned at him severely. „It's my friend,“ I explained. “He has the room above here, but-he was working with me when you knocked. And, the fact is, we thought you were a dun, eo he was in retirement. Come out, Fred!’ Fred appeared with a very red face, and who is wearing a dirty emock in Neu of a coat, and carpeg slipers. But our visitor was very gracious. My name is D‘Attxelles,”’ she sald. Come, both of you, and see if you can put my stove right, aud I will give you some tea. That is, It von are not too busy, of course.” Busy! We scouted the idea, and followed her down to the next floor. Darton’s room was witnessing a metamorphosis indeed. We found the floor strewn with a motley collection of feminine belongings, includ- ing an easel and all the pharaphernalia of an artist. In the center was a black-iron tubular concern, emitting spasmodic pi. ts of smoke from the top. “It's @ patent n she remarked looking at it thoughtfully. The man from whom I bought it declared that it would cook anything from an egg to a haunch of mutton. It only wants managing. Here is a book of instructions. I have tried to understand them, but I am so stupid!“ She handed us a litt'e pamphlet. It was all very simple. We went for it boldly. “T will cut some bread and butter and open the jam, while you boil the kettle,” she proposed. “Perhaps you will be able to make some toast when yeu have found out how the thing works.” “We try,” I answered dublously. > | Fred, with a great smut on his left cheek, had commenced to swear to himself, softly, but with terrible earnestness. I was strug- ling with an insane desire to seek out the maker of the thing and kick him. She came over and sto by our side. Jam afraid that you are not getting on very well,” she remarked. She seemed dis- appointed. I rose to my feet. “The fact is we are not getting on at all,“ I confessed. “‘There is a big fire in my room. Let us take the things in there and boil the kettle.” “Delightful!” she exclaimed. ‘Here, hold out your hands!“ She loaded us with plates of bread and butter and scones and jam. Fred loitered behind to help her with the kettle. He muttered something about the handle being hot. At the door our eyes met, and he post- tively bluehed. They were both carrying the kettle, Such an afternoon tea my studio had never witnessed Before. Certainly it will never witness anything of that sort again. She sat in my easy chair, and we both waited upon her—with more than average clumsi- ness. But. she enjoyed it. She told us a little about herself—not much. She was an orphan, and had been living with some rela- tives in London who bored her. They were apparenily addicted to the vice of fashion- able life. Helen—she told us that we were to call her Helen—had only one desire: it was to become an artist. She did not tell us so point-blank, but we thered she had run away. That there wad anything un- usual in her having rooms in Stiles’ Row, Chelsea, she did not seem to appreciate in the least. She was sublimely unconscious— sublimely ignorant. She looked out upon life with a naive and eager curiosity. Bo- hemia was her Promised Land. To be a denizén in it seemed to pe the limit of her desires. Her sex did not seem in the least te embarass her. She talked to us as an equal and a comrade. @ were artists. In less than half an hour we had forgotten our shabbiness and the poverty of our surround- ings. We were the best of friends. It was very surprising. After tea, she took out a dainty little c‘mwarette-case and emoked, while we showed her our work, or such part of it as we thought worthy of her inspection. Fred Pos aye a cigarette and smoked it in Meu af his pipe. e told me afterwards that it re 1. 4 best Egyptian cigarette he had ever * ° When she left us, she held out her hand th a little impulsive gesture. —. — '. ©: ‘The first thing to do is to thoroughly | “Good-bye,” she said, looking stranght into my eyes. “I am 80 glad to have you two for neighbors, and I am sure that we shall be good friends. It is so good of you not to mind having a girl as a fellow- worker.“ In turn we bowed over her hand. Fred mumbled a little speech, but I said nothing. Then we went back to my fire, and smoked, and looked at one another stealthily through the twilight. Perhaps the same thought was there with both of us. Through the curling smoke from my pipe, as it spread around in faint, dim wreaths, I seemed to see something in the future which might come between us two, a little crack in the wall of our treasured friendship—just a scratch, but a scratch which might easily become a chasm, And then Fred—a fel- low of great heart was Fred—laid his hand upon ithat crack ,and sealed it up for ever. Through the shadows, I could see his soft eyes—he had woman's ‘eyes—turned full upon me, and his hand thrust forward. “Friends!” I leaned forward and clasped his hand. “Always!” * * 7 * „ + A woman brings change as the spring brings flowers, but with us the change was not what we had dreaded. These were the halcyon days of our Bohemianism. We had a new comrade, gay, fascinating, sympa- thetic. Dick, too, came under the charm, Dick, the hardened poung misogynist who railed at women as the plagues of Egypt. But Dick had mixed with women freely, and her society was never to him what it was to Fred and my- self. Our evenings no longer hung fire. We had little dinners at Mariette’s—more than we could afford—and we generally wound up the evening at a music hall, or one of the Exhibitions. Fred, somewhat shyly, had brought out a drees-coat and un- earthed a tall hat. I, with a sch, kur- bished up my old clothes, for I was very poor in those days. Not that Helen ever cost us a penny. She paid her share of everything from the start, and she would have been grievously offended if we had treated ber in any way otherwise than as one of ourselves. We even told her of our custom—the sale of a pote meant a din- ner at Martette’s, if the price allowed and she clapped her hand with — But from that time she always seem to be selling a picture—dainty little things they were, too! We seldom saw purchaser, but her gay little summons became a very familiar thing and we went without hesita- tion. Helen had a way of making us do what she wanted. Our constant study was to keep her amused and for there was just one disturbing °< ment in days. the happiness of our len would get of her life in a shabby suburban c oe rer ar et A Cree „ eS eee eC Pe mre’ *® street, with only us three men for her companions. She would get tired of it and go away. So we humored her like a child, watching her face to see if she were amu when we took her out, drinking sweet Mo- selle for dinner without a single wry face, holding frequent consultations and study- | ing her in every way that occurred to — And, on the whole, we succeeded. As to her peinting we had no difficulty in — her nterested in it. We taught her a little she was always eager to learn. She had talent, end her work, if it was not of a very high order, had a charm and originality of her own. She was a flower-painter. Often Fred and I found our way to Covent Gar- den in the fresh spring twilight before the dawn in search of roses for her, and saw the sun rise as we strode homeward to- together through the dim, silent streets. And on those occasions we said very little. But we each knew the other’s mind. Then came a morning when Helen waltzed Mghtly into my room, waving her hands above her head, and with a fine flourish, came to a standstill before me. Who will come with me into the land of Goshen?” she cried breathlessly. “I want to go tu my dressmaker and to see the roododendrongs in the Park.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. MONTGOMERY, Ala., April 28.—Alabama Republicans have split on the McKinley question. The feeling grew so high that Gov. Oates this morning refused to allow them the use of the Capitol building. | The McKinleyites secured Dorsetts, a small hall, and opened up at 12 with C. W. Buckley as temporary chairman, is con- vention was composed largely of white Re- publicans. The anti-McKinleyites secured Hunter's warehouse, where, without tables or chairs, the convention was called to order by Chair- man Moseley. Before he finished his intro- ductory speech, a dry oodse box was — brought in and became the rostrum. C. . C. Sheats of Decatur was made temporary chairman. The speeches made roasted Gov. Oates for refusing the use of the Capitol, and the other faction for scaring Gov.

The weekly crop bulletin reports wheat growing rapidly and joining well in Eastern Kansas, in the central part, known as the Gel- den Wheat Belt,“ the plant made greatest progress, and in Western portion, where generally dry at this season, wheat growing rapidly and presents a promising appearance, except where inferior seed used. Oats, barley and prairie grasa growing rap-. idly. Corn planting progressing and a large area being put In. Fruit prospects good, though canker worm appeared in several countries. Private reports from Russia say crop conditions favorable in the center, although the spring was late, and in the South, where had been damage h late severe frosts, t has been improvement wit better weather, and spring work commenced under ceptionally favorable weather conditions continued in winter wheat sections and nearly all the reports from the crop were. of its wonderfully forward growth, its strong stand and the prospects for an unusually early harvest, if weather continued right State reports were in the same line, also. These conditions naturally intensified bear senti- ment in the St. Louls market, and there were oth- ers. The early cables held out no encour ent, as they reported Liverpool d lower and ndon inactive, and the Northwest reported 642 cars re- ceived, doubling last Tuesday's and 102 cars larger than a year ago. Winter wheat markets receipts, however, were small—31,000 bu, against 57.000 bu one -year ago. The weather map showed little rain had falen in spring wheat sections, except in Mani- toba, but Ohicago apparently had plenty of rain and predictions for rain in the Northwest, and after opening lower that market rallied some, thus checking the decline and selling here and steady- ing the market. hipments of 962,000 bu were reported for Du- luth, the first to out by lake, and the clearances from four rte in flour and wheat were equiva- lent to ,000 bu, but most of this was flour. radstreet’s reported 1.483.000 bu decrease in vallable supplies east of the Rockies, where the regular visible decreased 537,000 bu, and that the world’s stock had mn reduced 1,049, bu, against 2,260,000 bu decrease a year ago. Bradstreet’s report caused only a momentarily de- pressing effect. e closing Liverpool was low- er, but domestic markets gained in stren ate in the session, St. Louis especially being right stout. Shorts were nervous over the failure of the mar- ket to break and as there was little for sale this market drew nearer to Chicago. Spot Grades—Almost neglected on call.

Lake Shore — 25s — — — IN DARTON'S PLACE. There were four of us when we first came |@ plain, dark dress. As to her appearance, to Stiles’ Row—Darton, Fred, Dick and I have never attempted to describe her, and myself. Fred and I wore old chums. We aad been at college together, and, in palm- ter days, had shared a studio in St. John's Wood. Dick Maynard was a very prince of good fellows, but his career as an artist and a Bohemian was, unfortunately, nipped in the bud by an inconsiderate great-aunt, who died and left him a fortune. The old life had still some satisfaction for him, however, and when we moved to Stiles’ Row he took the fourth studio there and occasionally came and lectured to us about art. Darton, too, had been with us from ‘the first; but when he left, and his rooms stood empty, it was astonishing how little we missed him. Our tiny circle seemed only drawn the Gloser for his defection. Probably, as Fred ’ remarked, it was only propinquity which made him one of us at all. He had always had a hankering for the brazen pots of Philistinism. Penury had been a source of constant irritation to him. The small privations, which we had learnt to look upon with a sort of philosophic tolerance, galled him. Tho jest of empty pockets appealed in no way to his sense of humor. His Bohemianism had been only skin-deep. With us it seemed to have passed into our blood, and into the very sinews of our daily life. But that we were still human, however, we had soon to learn. Fred had brought his work into my room one afternoon, and was standing before his ease! gazing at an unfinished picture, with a frown upon his handsome face. There was a knock at the door, Fred looked at me and scowled. It's that grocer, Johnny he remarked, savagely. “Hie said he should come this afternoon. Who told him I was up here, I wonder? Meddlesome idiot! Hold on a minute!“ He passed behind the high screen which _partioned off his room, and threw him- self upon the bed. Come in,“ I called out. The door was opened, and a girl crossed the threshold. We did not want to see any woman about the place. In this respect we were peculiar but sincére. I went on paint- ing, without a second glance at her. “We neither of ve want a model.“ I vol- unteered; can't afford to pay then. Shut the door, please.” She closed the door, but remained inside. Can't your’ she said. “I am sorry. But you see Um not a model.“ I turned round and looked at her. She and wore an I never shall. Dick could do it by the hour. I never could. I only know that she was | beautiful, and she stood there laughing at - me. “I am your new neighbor,“ she explained.“ the corners of her mouth still twitching. I have taken the rooms below, which a Mr. Darton used to have. Do you understand stoves? I have been trying to make some tea for half an hour, but, volla!—that is all I have succeeded in doing.“ She held up a pair of small, black hands, and laughed. I laughed, too. It was irre- sistible. “Stoves?” I repeated. 1 don't know. I'll come and see, if you like.” “If you really wouldn’t mind! Good gra- cious! what is that!“ I followed her startled eyes. In his eager- ness to see the newcomer, Fred had mounted on to my bed, and was looking over the screen, frowned at him severely. „It's my friend,” I explained. He has the room above here, but he was working with me when you knocked. And, the fact is, we thought you were a dun, do he was in retirement. Come out, Fred!’ Fred appeared with a very red face, and |} bowed with such dignity as a man may who is wearing a dirty emock in Heu of a coat, and carpeg slipers. But our visitor was very gracious. My name is D‘Attxelles,” she sald. Come, both of you, and see if you can put my stove right, aud I will give you some tea. That is, It vou are not too busy, of course.” Busy! We scouted the idea, and followed her down to the next floor. Darton’s room was witnessing a metamorphosis indeed. We found the floor strewn with a motley collection of feminine belongings, includ- ing an ease] and all the pharaphernalia of an artist. In the center was a black-iron tubular concern, emitting spasmodic pets of smoke from the top. “It's a patent I Fe she remarked looking at it thoughtfully. The man from whom I bought it declared that it would cook anything from an egg to a haunch of mutton. It only wants managing. Here is a book of instructions. I have tried to understand them, buf I am so stupid!“ She handed us a litt'e pamphlet. It was all very simple. We went for it boldly. “T will cut some bread and butter and open the jam, while you boll the kettle,” she proposed. Perhaps you will be able to make some em you have found out how the thing works “We will try.“ 1 answered dublously. artist's smock over — * 1 he first thing to do is to thoroughly master the principle of the thing. Read those instructions again, Fred.“ We approached our task with a certain amount of*cheerfulness. As time went on, our faces fell, our complacency deserted us. Fred, with a great smut on his left cheek, had commenced to swear to himself, softly, but with terrible earnestness. I was strug- gling with an ingane desire to seek out the maker of the thing and kick him. She came over and sto by our side. “Tl am afraid that you are not getting on very well,” she remarked. She seemed dis- appointed. I rose to my feet. The fact is we are not getting on at all,“ I confessed. ‘‘There is a big fire in my room. Let us take the things in there and boil the kettle.”’ “Delightful!” she exclaimed. ‘‘Here, hold out your hands!“ She loaded us with plates of bread and butter and scones and jam. Fred loitered behind to help her with the kettle. He muttered something about the handle being hot. At the door our eyes met, and he post- tively bluehed. They were both carrying the kettle. Such an afternoon tea my studio had never witnessed Before. Certainly it will never witness anything of that sort again. She sat in my easy chair, and we both waited upon her—with more than average clumsi- ness. But. she enjoyed it. She told us a little about herself—not much. She was an orphan, and had been living with some rela- tives in London who bored her. They were apparenily addicted to the vice of fashion- able life. Helen—she told us that we were to call her Helen—had only one desire: it was to become an artist. She did not tell us so/point-blank, but we gathered she had run away. That there was anything un- usual In her having rooms in Stiles’ Row, Chelsea, she did not seem to appreciate in the least. She was sublimely unconscious— sublimely ignorant. She looked out upon life with a naive and eager curiosity. Bo- hemia was her Promised Land. To be a denizen in it seemed to the limit of her desires. Her sex did not seem in the least te embarass her. She talked to us as an equal and a comrade. @ were artists. In less than half an hour we had forgotten our shabbiness and the poverty of our surround- ings. We were the best of friends. It was very surprising. After tea, she took out a dainty little c'gwarette-case and smoked, while we showed her our work, or such part of it as we thought worthy of her inspection. Fred accepted a cigarette and smoked it in leu “df his pipe. He told me afterwards that it yee Se best Egyptian cigarette he had ever Ss ted. When she left us, she held out her hand th a little impulsive gesture. “Good-bye,” she said, looking stranght into my eyes. “I am 80 glad to have you two for neighbors, and I am sure that we shall be good friends. It is so good of you not to mind having a girl as a kellow- worker.“ In turn we bowed over her hand. Fred mumbled a little speech, but I said nothing. Then we went back to my fire, and smoked, and looked at one another stealthily through the twilight. Perhaps the same thought was there with both of us. Through the curling smoke from my pipe, as it spread around in faint, dim wreaths, I seemed to see something in the future which might come between us two, a little crack in the wall of our treasured friendship—just a scratch, but a scratch which might easily become a chasm, And then Fred—a fel- low of great heart was Fred—laid his hand upon that crack and sealed it up for ever. Through the shadows, I could see his soft eyes—he had woman's ‘eyes—turned full upon me, and his hand thrust forward, “Friends!” I leaned forward and clasped his hand. Always!“ 7 * 7. + * * + A woman brings change as the spring brings flowers, but with us the change was not what we had dreaded. These were the halcyon days of our Bohemianism. We had a new comrade, gay, fascinating, sympa- thetic. Dick, too, came under the charm, Dick, the hardened poung misogynist who railed at women as the plagues of Egypt. But Dick had mixed with women freely, and her society was never to him what it was to Fred and my- self. Our evenings no longer hung fire. We had little dinners at Mariette’s—more than we could afford—and we generally wound up the evening at a music hall, or one of the Exhibitions. Fred, somewhat shyly, had brought out a drees-coat and un- earthed a tall hat. I, with a sich, kur- bished up my old clothes, for I was very poor in those days. Not that Helen ever cost us a nny. She paid her share of everything from the start, and she would have been grievously offended if we had treated ber in any way otherwise than as one of ourselves. We even told her of our custom—the sale of a picture meant a din- ner at Martette’s, if the price allowed it— and she clapped her hand wi — But from that time she always seemed to be selling a picture—dainty little things they were, too! We seldom saw & purchaser, but ber gay little summons e a very familiar thing and we went wirhout hesita- tion. Helen had a way of making us do what she wanted. Our constant study was to keep her amused and “int for there was just one disturbing . ent in the happiness of our len would get tired of her life in a shabby suburban street, with only us three men for her companions. She would get tired of it and go away. So we humored her like a child, watching her face to see if she were amu when we took her out, drinking sweet Mo- selle for dinner without a single wry face, holding frequent consultations and study- ing her in every way that occurred to us. And, on the whole, we succeeded. As to her pelating we had no difficulty in keeping her mterested in it. We taught her a little @ad she was always eager to learn. She had talent, end her work, if it was not of a very high order, had a charm and originality of her own. She was a flower-painter. Often Fred and I found our way to Covent Gar- den in the fresh spring twilight before the dawn in search of roses for her, and saw the sun rise as we strode homeward to- together through the dim, silent streets. And on those occasions we said very little. But we each knew the other’s mind. Then came @ morning when Helen waltzed Mghtly into my room, waving her hands above her head, and with a fine flourish, came to a standstill before me. ‘Who will come with me into the land of Goshen?” she cried breathlessly. “I want to go tu my dressmaker and to see the roododendrong in the Park. Who will come?“ She looked at me but I kept my eyes upon my work. Alas! the West. I had no garments for We have only one tall hat between us,” I said sorrowfully, “and it will not fit me. Fred must be your escort.“ 1 Fred was already tearing off his smock and handun th 1 ‘Mowiy, ee ere “I shall be ready in te " she said, without looking a he oe lore. “Don’t dare to keep me waiting!" I laid down my brush and watched them cross the street. Fred, tall and aristocratic, wearing his shabby clothes with the air of a prince, and Helon—what a metamorphosis! She had become a woman of fashion. She was wearing the garments of a world which had no kin with ours, wearing them grace- fully and naturally. I watched them until they were out of sight, and an odd thing happened to me. I, a hardened outcast from the world, a wanderer in its by-ways, a would-be cynic, became suddenly the slave of an emotional crisis. mist swam before my eyes, a lump crept into my brush slipped from my nervelees fingers, I was learing against my easel, and my head was resting in my clasped hands.

A Plan for the Inter-Club Race Nipped in the Bud. A rumor has been industriously circu- lated during the last day or two that there was a hitch in the arrangements for the inter-club race, 8 to the alleged failure 25 the Century Club to make its deposit of $50 on Saturday, the day set. It was without foundation, as the Century Club made its deposit promptly with Chief Con- sul Holm of the L. A. W. The remainder of the money is to be put up two days be- fore the race, at the time the declarations are made for the racing teams. A scheme for the race has been frus trated by unexpectedly running up against the rules of the L. A. W. Racing Board. It the race is held in the Fair Grounds it will be held on Sunday. It was suggested that the finish and last three-quarters of a mile of the race be made on the mile track. This would bring the finish directly in front of the grand stand, which would be most desirable. But the L. A. does not sanction events pulled off on Sunday and the fact of the race being finished on the track would bring it under the classifica- tion of track events. 80 that would make all the riders who participated Hable to sus- pension and makes an excellent plan im- practicable. A special meeting of the Cross Country Cyclers was held at the club-house Monday night. A constitution and by-laws was adopted, together with rules for the govern- ment of the rooms. Considerable discus- sion was provoked by the rule requiring all applications for membership to ac- companied by the initiation fee. The rule was allowed to stand as reported by the committee. Since the last meeting several pictures have been added to the furniture, adding to the attractive appearance of the rooms. 1 of the club being repre- n the Forest Park road race wa broached. The general feeling seem to be that the club should have at least three men in the race, and several of its most promising riders will be urged to enter. There are two or three men in the club who might hope to carry off a prize with a fair handicap, and they should not be backward about trying. The members present were notified that next Sunday’s run will be to Indian Cave. Moonlight runs are in order this week, and a smal) party leaves the club-house about 8 o'clock every evening. | The work of improving the South Side streets has: not yet reached au end. Wheel- — who have not visited the neighborhood of Benton Park this season will be surpised at the improvements that have been made. In addition to the elegant east and west thoroughfare now provided by the improve- ment of Wyoming street, the north and south avenues have by no means been ne- lected. IIlinols avenue south of the park as been raised to the dignity of a con- structed etreet, and only lacks an electric light at the point where it intersects Wyo- ming etreet to make a favorite route south to the park. Many of the improvements on the South side are not yet at their best, not having been beaten down by traffic into the state of solidity requisite. for the perfect bicycle street, but it is only a matter of a nae time 1 ty — A — streets will be amo @ favorite pleasure grounds of the St Louis cyclist. . Case Knocked Thompson Out. SALT LAKE, April 28.—A large crowd as- sembled at the Salt Lake Athletic Club last night to witness the fight between Dick Case of the State of Washington and Bob Thompson, colored, of this city. Thompson weighed in at 1338 and Case at 143. The fight was for a purse of $500. or the first thirty rounds the fighting was rather tame, with honors about even.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 28.—The site of the new school of Theosophy has already been de- cided upon. In fact, it is said that a Mahatma, or something of the kind, has been guarding the chosen spot carefully for many years, to prevent the intrusion of ' profane feet. The exact place is a secret, known only to the illuminati. But itisknown that the site is on a mountain in the West. James M. Pryse, who is an occultist of a high degree, said: “The university for the study of the ' greater mysteries will de on an elevation, in order to obtain a clear atmosphere and an equable climate. Such schools al- ready exist in other parts of the world, and have existed for centuries. I have visited one in Peru and one in Mexico.“ The head of the institution will be the unrevealed Mahatma who is now in New York. Dr. Buck, the ex-Vice-President of the society, anticipates that science will be benefited greatly by the new school. Hie said: The Mahatmas have a greater knowledge ‘of nature than modern scientists. The bacteria, to which physicians of the present day are beginning to attribute disease, were known to the writers of the Vedas thousands of years ago. In those writings they are described by Sanskrit words, of _. which a free translation would be ‘build- _ ers’ and ‘devourers.’ Disease is there at- “tributed to a lack of harmony in the atoms of the human body.“ Claude Falls Wright says of the Theo- sophical convention: “One of the most important results of the convention has been the definite start- ing of the new school or college, at which there will be revived literally the ancient mysteries, such as those which were known as the ‘Eleusinian’ in Greece. This col- lege will revolutionize the whole of American thought. It. is a significant fact in this connection that the Olympian games have been re-established in Greece, and that the honors were carried off largely by Ameri- cans. We propose to re-establish the mys- teries in America. They will effect a com- plete change in politics, science and philo- sophy, and reawaken real knowledge and the soul in man.“ 8 A 1 . Who was present at the secret meeting yesterday evening,said it was a meeting of the esoteric division, called by Claude Falls Wright to reveal to mem- bers of the inner circle the occult successor of Judge. Ernest T. Hargrove said that the new adept was now living in New York, but was of foreign birth. He said that the adept held an official position in the headquarters. This limits the identity of the mysterious individual to Hargrove himself, Claude Falls Wright and J. H. Fussell. Mr. Hargrove previously had de- nied that he was the adept, but he would make no answer to the question when it Was asked again yesterday evening.

To a Post-Dispatch reporter who calle upon him he said he had been at Nashville, Tenn., for a week past, but it got too warm for him down there and he was working up toward'the Nerth. He claimed to have received many urgent letters from Belleville people with ailments who wished him to stay a week in the town, He a. his treatment as consisting chiefly the laying on of hands. He would touch the patient’s forehead and breast and ve him a friendly shake and if then his th was as a mustard seed he would in- Stantly be cured of whatever ills his par- ticular flesh was heir to. Referring to his experience at Alton he said, or rather his manager said for him, that no proof had ever been produced in substantiation of the charges. The healer says he will effect marvelous cures in Belleville, but it is not believed that the skeptical Bellevillians will take kindly to his peculiar medicine, NEARING DEATH'S PORTAL. The Aged and Scholarly Francis Gar- vey in a Critical State. Counselor Francis Garvey, who has been a member of the St. Louis bar since 1866, is not expected to live through the day. Tuesday morning members of his family were at his bedside at his residence, 3512 Laclede avenue, in momentary fear of the end. The indisposition that attacked Mr. Gar- vey two weeks ago soon developed into a complication of the dropsy, Bright's disease and the grip, and he has been sinking rap- idly ever since. Mr. * born 81 years ago at Rose - 2 near Westport, in County Mayo, Ire- and, His career began in 1836, when he was ad- mitted to the bar after a regular course at Trinity College and the study of law. Immediately he took an active part in Irish politics and was attracted to Daniel O’Con- nell, who, in 18382, had secured the passage of the reform bill, became his friend and was his intimate until the death of the Irish patriot, im 1845. For thirty years Mr. Garvey practiced law in Dublin and in London, being as well. known at Temple Bar and the Inns-of-Court as at Dublim In the period from 1845 to 1849, the time of the great famine, Mr. Garvey devoted him- self to the relief of the poor, was made one of the distributors of the funds sent from the United States and became dis- burser of the fund contributed by the British Government. Mr. Garvey’s residence im the United States began in 1865. He resided in New York and in Chicago a few months, and came to St. Louis in 1866, being immediately enrolled as a member of the St. Louis Dar. Before the famine im Ireland Mr. Gar- vey’s income amounted to $100,000 a year. He enjoyed a large practice in St. Louis. He practicaly retired from the practice of law in 1890, but continued to take daily trips down-town,.being regularly seen in the rotunda of the Lindell Hotel. It was his custom to spend his summers at the seashore or in the mountains. Mr. Garvey'’s wife died itn St. Louis in 1872. His family at present consists of a daughter, Emily, and four sons, George, Edward, Hallam and Chris. Hallam and Chris Garvey are commercial travelers, Hallam being also a member of the firm of Garvey Bros., railway contractors, with George and Kaward. George Garvey is a resident of Memphis, Tenn.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, April 2.—For the first time on any stage, Alexander Salvini played “Othello” last night. The performance was given at the Schiller Theater here. Little has been seen of the nuble Mcor on the American stage since the elder Salvim played it in this country during the season of 1889 and 1890, when the lamented Boota played Iago to Salvini’s Othello. There was much curiosity in the minds of the ma- jority of the audience to see what the younger Salvini would do with the role which his illustrious father made 80 famous, and interpreted so ideally that it came to be a standard Othello by which all other attempts should stand or fall. It is not putting it too strongly to say that Alexander vini won a veritable triumph by the right of heredity. Ability to look and act so nearly to perfection the Moor seems to have been handed down from father to son. As the younger Sal- vini stepped forth in the first act, the ap- plause broke forth instantly, perfect was the picture, and such a livin in the role was he of the father, whose Othello mantle, at least, has surely fallen on the shoulders of the son. The produc- tion was a magnificent one, the scenic and costume equipment having been specially prepared with great care and liberal ex- penditure. Mr. Salvini plays a Boston en- 12 at the Museum following his stay ere, or A i eccompant by his manager, , : nson, his father in Italy. 12 N A Practical Educator.
