Krum, and the latter has decided that a writ of certiorari is the best means of put- ting a quietus on the Charity Commission- ers, The City Auditor has approved the vouch- ers for Mr. Bristol's salatfy and the House of Refuge expenses up to date, and Mayor Wal- bridge has not taken any action one way or the other as to Mr. Bristol's tenure. On the other hand City Counselor Marshall holds with the Charity Commissioners that Mr. Bristol ig no longer Superintendent and is a usurper in continuing in office. Sev- eral patriotg desirous of serving the munici- pality, agree with Mr. Marshall and the Charity Commissioners, for they have ap- plied to Mayor Waibridge for the vacancy. They have been filing applications since Wednesday. To add to the difficulties of the case there is no one at the House of Refuge upon whom Mr. Bristol’s mantle should fail until an appointment is made. . There is no such official as an assistant euperintendent, for there are only two ades of officers, Mr. Bristol being one and his subordinates another, 4 Despite this state of affairs the boys and iris that have the city for a parent are ollowing the usual routine at their home down on Osage street, and there is no evidence that any of them have risen in rebellion against Mr. Bristol's rule. - The writ of certiorai is an order upon the Charity Commissioners to certify to the Cir- cuit Court a record of their proeeedings and actions with regard to Mr. Bristol. Attorney Krum’s application for the writ upon which he has been at work for two days, recites the action of the Board of Charity Commissioners, declares their find- ings to be null and void as being beyond their jurisdiction and asks the Circuit Court to intervene and review the case. By this process the whole question of the board’s jurisdiction, Mr. Bristol's tenure and the sufficiency of the evidence against him is raised. sacee Krum, in speaking for his client, sai Bristol will hold on.until he is **Mr. compelled to leave. the office if legal action will avail; in. fact he will go on the game as usual and ignore the course of the Charity Commissioners. He will try to draw his salary, and I don’t know whether any attempt has been made to keep him out of it.” The Board of Charity Commissioners has not yet thought of enjoining the pay- ment of Mr. Bristol’s salary or of forcing him to pay rent for the city’s house that he occupies. In fact, the board has lapsed from a state of activity to one of passivity, and is lying on its oars. The members of the board are not fright- ened by the application for the writ of certiorari. When they are asked about it they thumb one of the volumes of Mis- souri decisions until they reach the case of Dr. Brennan against the Board of Health. In that case the Court of Appeals said: "The writ of certiorari brings up only the record and ean only reach defects or errors in the proceedings of the tribunal to which it is issued, which appear upon the face of the record and which go to the jur- isdiction of that tribunal. ‘The evidence is no part of the record, and it is not the office of the writ to bring up the evidence for. review.”’ The Chany Gegmmissioners contend that their jurisdiction appears on the face of the record and therefore Mr, Bristol will get no relief from the Cirouit Court. Judge Krum filed the application at 1 p.m, It was referred te Judge Valliant. LIBERTY OR DEATH, Cubans Will Make No Compromise Whatever With Spain. Special to The Post-Dispatch.

The Republicans of. illi- ‘s in convention assembled instructed r delegates to vote for William Mc- geley at St. Louis. This crushing victory was won in the teeth of the opposition of Tanner and the horde of machine politicians that train with him. The triumph was achieved despite the “effort of his life’ by Shelby M. Cullom, who left his post of duty in the Senate to gv to Springfield and stroye to turn the tide in favor of his own P#eés- idential boomlet ostensibly, but ir ality to act as énhe tool of the busse: -wmbine. Once more the people have met the bosses’ and routed them ignominiously. “he Illinois victory is matter for con- ulation to the whole country. It adds one more to the many stunning blows administered within the past six weeks to machine politics. There ‘is little left for the St. Louis convention to quarrel over. The action of the Republicans of Vermont and IIli- nois this week has practically assured the nomination of McKinley on the first ballot. Sivares CONTEMPT OF FEDERAL COURTS. = —_ / \ The bill reported from the Senate Com- mittee on Judiciary, defining contempt of Federal Courts and providing punishment for such contempt, needs amendment. In eo far as it allows a witness to be con- fronted by his accusers, to answer the accusation and to take an appeal to the Supreme Court, the bill is just and fair. But in allowing the court discretion to re- fuse the accused a jury trial, the bill is unjust and unconstitutional. The bill treats contempt of Federal Courts asacrime. ‘It allows such testi- mony as can be produced in criminal Cases. If the judge chooses, the accused ay have a jury “as in any criminal case."” He-is to be punished as a crim- inal, unless he can purge himself of the contempt. Yet this constitutional right of trial by jury is subject to the whim or discretion of the judge alone. Under this bill, Federal Courts have it fn their power to prohibit the doing of something, by injunction, which is not in itself criminal. They can then, through “contempt” proceedings, place the accused in the position of a criminal, subject to punishment as a criminal, yet without the criminal’s constitutional jury right, ex- "cept at the discretion of the offended court. a — _ OFFICIALS NOT ABOVE THE LAW. The contention of Mr. Ferriss, repre- senting Bus and his co-conspirators be- fore the Supreme Court, was probably without parallel in judicial proceedings under a constitutional form of govern- ment. The proposition he advanced was that no matter how convincing may be the evidence introduced to prove that the men in control of the School Board have ' wately planned to deprive a large of voters of the franchise make false election returns, >» ®Bupreme Court has no wer to restrain their s for the reason that the School Board renders emdent of the Supreme “rt. ‘F other words, —, wer. Ferriss contended that the St. Leute, School Board is a law unto itself, like the Czar of Russia or the Sultan of Turkey, and that its actions, be they-.ever 60 criminal, and subversive of law and right, must be allowed to go unchecked and un- questioned by even the highest tribunal in the State, which sets the limit to all other authority, interprets the constitu- ion, and nullifies the acts of Legislatures. It is a matter of congratulation that the Supreme Court promptly negatived this plea and decided that there is power un- der the law to restrain Mr. Bus and his pals from perpetrating the outrage upom the ballot which they had so shamelessly planned. ort ae LOOK TO THE DELEGATES. The suggestion ofthe Post-Dispatch that the Democrats of the several States should choase for their delegates to Chi- cago their ablest and best known men Was carried out to the letter in Missis- sippi on Wednesday. The two United States Senators, together with Serrator- elect Money and the Governor of the State, were chosen delegates-at-large, and the district delegates are representa- tive men. What was done at the Michigan State Convention this week shows how vitally important is the selection of delegates. If corruptible, pliable or weak men are sent as delegates to Chicago, the gold standard men will—as they did in Mich- igan—convert defeat into ‘victory. The free silver Democrats elected a majority of not less than 200 to the Michigan State convention. They were cheated out of their victory by the “in- fluence” of Federal officials and by the corrupt use of money. The. favorite device of the corruptionists was to in- duce delegates elected as free silver men to give proxies to men who pretended to favor free silver, but who voted against it whenever a vote was taken. Alternates were also ‘‘persuaded” to be- lieve, or to pretend to believe, that in- structions given to delegates were not binding upon alternates. These same tricks will be tried at Chi- cago, re-enforced by more powerful ‘“‘in- fluence” and nrore abundant money than sufficed for the dastardly work in Mich- igan. The only safety of the free silver men against such schemes lies in the election of men as delegates who cannot be bulldozed or bought. TAYLOR'S INNOCENCE IMPROBABLE. Of the hundreds who heard the testi- mony in the trials of Wm. P. Taylor, hanged at Carrollton Thursday for the murder of the Meeks family, and of the thousands who read it in the newspapers, there will be a number in whose minds doubt as to the guilt.of the executed erim- inal will lodge. This doubt will be in- tensified when they read the graphic de- scriptions of the bright young corre- spondents telling how gamely he met death, how devoutly he received the con- solations of religion in the shadow of the scaffold, and how he wrote statements solemnly protesting his innocence and forgiving his enemies a few hours before he died. But in the arithmetic of probabilities there is little room for such a doubt. In the two jury trials of the Taylors and the searching review thereof by the Supreme Court in which the prisoners were repre- sented by the ablest counsel that money could hire, the element of a reasonable doubt of the guilt of the accused was at no time legally established. A man who could deliberately plan and commit a murder so atrocious as that of the Meeks family would be more likely to feign indifference to death on the scaffold than otherwise. To the murderer lying is easy and hypocrisy is a welcome ex- pedient. Besides, in Bill Taylor’s case an admis- sidn of guilt would make death all the yBurer for his fugitive brother, in the event of his capture. ALTGELD UNMASKS HOPKINS. Governor Altgeld, in a characteristic interview, unmasks John P. Hopkins, who is managing the Cleveland scheme to dis- rupt the Democratic party in Illinois. In a few trenchant sentences the Governor shows up the double-dealing, trickery, hypocrisy and underhand methods of Chi- cago’s ex-Mayor and the motives which inspired him to turn his coat and barter his influence to the combined forces of Wall street and the Federal administra- tion. John Patrick Hopkins has been forced out of the brush by Governor Altgeld’s plain talk and will henceforth be com- pelled to stand forth and receive the Scorn and contempt of the political friends who have mistakenly screened and defended him against the flood of Republican accusation which his reckless administration of affairs while Mayor of Chicago invited. An untried*man, the honest Democrats of Chicago voted him into-place, believing in his promises of reform. Once in of- fice he allied himself with the vilest ele- ments in that ‘sin-seared city, and brought about the utter defeat of the Cook County Democracy. His trip to Europe a year ago, and the plea that he was about to lose his eyesight, it is said, prevented his indictment for malfeasance in office. He is-a fit leader for the gold- bug disruptionists of Illinois Democracy. _—_ oo 2 —s- —_-———_- The constantly increasing circulation of the Post-Dispatch is a tribute to its en- terprise as a newspaper.

Quadrennial Conference of the Methodist Church IN SESSION AT CLEVELAND, Bible Used in the Services One Formerly Owned hy the Founder of the Church, CLEVELAND, O., May 1—The gavel of the venerable Bishop Bowman fell this morning at 9 o’clock and the great quad- rennia] conference of the Methodist Epis- copal Church was under way. Central Ar- mory lovked beautiful indeed. Its interior was brilliant, and on all sides there was an expectancy that issues of importance were abcut to be precipitated in the con- vention. Three thousand people were in the hall when the meeting was called to order. On the floor were white men and — men, the delegate from cold Norway an plang a ¥p mes ieee ao and Japan. country on the glob represented. . ee Bishop Bowman announced ‘that the Bible which will be used in the services is the one which was used -¢ John Wesley in his @tudy in England. his historical treas- ure was presented to the conference some years ago.

Burt of Rome, Italy, fol- lowed in a reading of the Scriptures, after which Bishop Taylor of Africa read the hymn. Rev. Dr. Upham of Drew Theolog- ical Beminary offered prayer, which closed the devotional services. When the devotional exercises. were over a little flurry occurred in the convention by reason of the call on Secretary Monroe to call the roll. It was thought that this action would precipitate the contest of the Seats for women. When the name of Lydia A. Timble was announced a delegate was immediately on his feet and made a motion that this name be omitted until a committee determine whether her election was legal. For a mo- ment it looked as if the fight had started. Bishop Bowman, however, refused to enter- tain the motion as he declared the conven- tion was not organized: The tumultuous applause which followed the ruling of the chair indicated the strength of the woman suffrage faction in the delegation. This was the first skirmish, and as the other names of the women delegates were called no exception was taken. he Secre- tary continued to call the roll. The confer- ence decided to fill the vacancies from the reserves and to adopt the rules of the last conference. A fight over the rights of laymen on the floor of the ¢onvention was precipitated by Mr. Danfels of India, who took the conven- tion’s breath away by presenting the follow- ing resolutions: ia “Resolved, First, That we, members of the General Conferénce of 1896, do hereby claim our right to choose the committees on which we will serve in the same manner as the ministerial delegates have made choice of the committees on which they would serve, any previous arrangement notwithstanding. “Resolved, second, that we hereby request the presiding bishop to lay this case before the General Conference with the view of , gecuring therefrom the official affirmation of our rights as above recited. "Resolved, third, that a copy of these res- olutions be laid before the presiding bishop at the opening of the first day's session of the General Conference.”’ New Missouri Corporations, Bpecial to The Post-Dispatch.

The Supreme Court Friday morning de- cided that the Bus faction of the St. Louis School Board can not control the election of members of the board absolutely. A peremptory writ of mandamus was is- sued, compelling the board to rescind all appointments of judges and clerks for the election in the Tenth District next Tues- day, and to appoint new judges and clerks, of whom onc-half shall be Democrats. A telegram announcing the decision was received Friday by Attorney Charlea T. Noland, who, with R. B. Haughton, ap- plied for the writ of mandamus on behalf of John P. Kelleher, Democratic candidate. ‘The decision handed down by Judge Gault in Division No. 2, directed the board to meet on Saturday and take action in ac- cordance with the writ. This evening copies of the writ will be served upon mem- bers of the board by Deputy Clerk W. D. Fisher of the Supreme Court, nowy on his way to St. Louis. here are fourteen polling places in the Tenth District, and there will be forty-two judges and clerks of election. Under the decision the Board will have to appoint forty-two new judges and clerks, naming Sa. beng Democrats and twenty-one Re- pubficans. Atorney Noland stated that he considered the decision of-the utmost importance, not only in the particular matter now in hand, but as a guard against future malfeasance on the part of the Bus faction. The Su- reme Court had declared that there had toca an attempt on the part of the Busites to deprive voters of a fair election. The dccision is the first set-back the, Busites have encountéred in their conspir- acy to rule the scho in the spoils sys- tem. As a result of the decision, Chairman El- mer E. Lacey of the Elections Cofnmittee ‘of the board, has been eompelled to call a meeting of the committee for Saturday afternoon. Attorney Noland will be present. If an attempt is made to evade it drastic measures will be taken to punish the con- tempt of court, Ex-Deputy Sheriff Henry Bus has been compelled for the same reason to call a meeting of the whole board for Saturday night to adopt the new report of the BDlec- tions Committee. ohn P. Kelleher is of course delighted with the result. “We only asked for one man,” he said, “and the court has given us an equal show. That’s better than I hoped for. might be beaten altogether. “There is a good chance for me now at the polls, for besides the square deal we get, the people of the wards will see that these fellows tried to win by fraud.” Two meetings will be held in Kelleher’s behalf Saturday night—one at Teutonia Hall, Twenty-second and Montgomery, and the other at Albany Hall, Garrison and Cass avenues, in. the Twenty-fourth Ward, Among the speakers will be O’Neil Ryan, Charlies T. Noland, BE. A. Noonan, Henry Spaunhorst and Charles A. M. Schiierholtz. TRANSVAAL — CONSPIRATORS. Cecil Rhedes and Others Are Serious- ly Implicated. LONDON, May 1.—The weight of evidence flirnished by the telegrams and documents which have come into the possession of the authorities of the South African republic against persons to whom they were ad- dressed and by whom they were signed, of being engaged in a conspiracy to overthrow the Transvaal, is admitted to be crushing. The opinion of the press very generally con- Gemns them. But strenuous efforts are made to prevent a sweeping condemnation of the authorities of Cape Colony and of the British Chartered South Africa Com- pany other than the individuals whose, games are included in the documentary evi- ce, PR Times in an editorial on the subject ott is impossible to ignore the gravity of the conclusion to which the published tele- grams point, They establish waeeed the pos- sibility of a doubt that Hon, Cecil Rhodes, the then Premier of Cape Colony; Mr. Al- fred Belt, a Director in the British South Africa Company, and Mr. Rutherford Har- ris, Becretary of the Bri : th Africa pormany. were privy to ¢ movement nst Johanresburg, and that the leaders of the movement counted upon their help and countensince to insure its success.

Theré is $267,000 in salaries which de- pends on the concurrence of the Council and the House of Delegates at their aeeiae | rriday evening. The House has made amendments in the general appropriation bill which the Council may or may not approve of. . If the Council] does approve the pay- rolls may be ready for payment by Satur- day morniag. If it does not agree it is im- possible to tell when the city employes will get their money. The first of. the month is the regular pay day for the city, but Friday Assistant Treasurer Dunn was compelled to tack up a bi ~ reading ‘‘No pay-day to-day’’ to head off the many employes who do not read the papers. The Mayor will probably be on hand Fri- day evening to sign the bill if the Assembly passes it, and in that event the Treasurer can pay off Saturday morning. Otherwise the closing of the banks at noon on Sat- urday will defer the work until Monday. THEIR CONVENTION CLOSED. Railway Surgeons Elect Officers and Adjeurn for a Year.

Leuis National Resented the Commercial’s Treatment. BOTH WILL GO IT ALONE. The St. Louis’ Directery Was Complete- ly Ignered in the New Charter Ob- tained by the Commercial. As exclusively announced in Thursday’s Post-Dispatch, all negotiations looking to the consolidation of the St. Louls National with the Commercial Bank have been de- clared off. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the St. Louls National Thursday afternoon the long-delayed consolidation was brought up anda resolution was unanimously passed declaring that all negotiations should be called off and the project of consolidation permanently dropped. The officers of the St. Louls National will for the move, merely stating that they could see no benefit to their bank in the consolidation. They say that since they have been nego- tiating they have lost some of their cus- tomers who did not care to place their ac- .counts under the control in the new bank “of men with whom they had hitherto had no dealings. It was therefore decided to drop the mat- ter and to at once notify all of the custom- ers of the St. Louis Nattfonal that it would | be continued as before. These are the ostensible facts. The real facts, as jlearned from an inside source, are e@bout as follows: Mr. Nichols, having received consent to the consolidation from the Gould interests represented in both banks, set about the preliminary work in a most energetic man- ner. The new bank, in accordance with his wishes, was to be known as the Com- mercial-National. Likewise, every other de- tailgwas in accord with his ideas. His c jer’ and his employes were to be re- ned and his stockholders were to re- J” ceive two-thirds of the stock in the ap- ortionment. All of this was agreed to without protest on the part of the St. Louis National in- terests. ? Mr. Nichols then became so confident of ‘the consolidation that in his mind’s eye he saw himself installed in the building of the St. Louis National on Broadway. He pict- ured himself occupying President Louis C, Nelson’s desk. He began making frequent visite to the St. Louis National building. In the most unconcerned way he would drop in and without saying anything to the officers, would saunter behind the coun- ters, take a peep into the big vault, open the cages of the tellers and look over the books and otherwise evince a feeling of pro- prietorship. The officers of the St. Louls National did not like this, but they said nothing until a few days sincé, when it was announced that Mr. Nichols had secured a charter for the new national bank. The application for the charter was made without consultation with the directors or officers of the St. Louis National, and there was not the name of a single stockholder of the St. Louis Nationa! signed to the application. They were completely ignored. n the language of a stockholder of the St. Louis National to a Post-Dispatch re- rter: Pe The whole thing was a case of William Nichols, President; W. Nichols, Vice-Presi- dent; Bill Nichols, Cashier, and Old Nick, Roerd of Directors. This didn’t suit us, so Pe yas seen at his bane #ost-Dispatch ow is, What statement shal u regarding the refusal of the Ational to consolidate” he was | ".vu Can make any statement you — please,’’ was his answer. It is understood that the charter obtained for a national bank will be put to use. t. 1 the charter of the Commercial wil] expire. Its affairs will then be liquidated @nd megrged into the new bank.

IN BARNEST FOR REFORM. Meeting ef the Civic Federation an Enthusiastic One. The rally of the friends of the St. Louis Civic Federation, held Thursday night at the Second Baptist Church, attracted so large a crowd as to teat the capacity of the house. Many prominent municipal reform- ers were present and letters of regret were presented from others. Walter Vrooman, secretary of the Civic Federation, would not concede that any Eu- ropeam city was superior to St. Louis.

Dr. W. W. Boyd said St. Louis had burt few superiors on the American forts of ti i been accepted as models. The city owes much to the efforts of the Commerc Club and of the Business Men’s League, but the moral conditions of a city are of profoundly more interest than the question of magnificent houses and other improvements. The doctor said the province of the Civic Federation was not so much to prosecute the offender against the law as to create a public sentiment that would compel the proper authorities to do so. Dr. Boyd presented a resolution request- ing the Civic Federation to invite the va- rious prominent social, educational, philan- throptc, business and labor organizations of St. Louls to send five representatives each to a formal conference on municipal re- form, to exchange opinions and to origin- ate, if practicable, a non-partisan, non- political and non-sectarian movement, in which all good citizens may unite to secure an honest, efficient and economic adminis- tration of city affairs. The resolution was unanimously adopted and the doctor said he hoped the meeting would be called within two weeks. It'S A POOR CHOICE. A 8t. Louis Man’s View ef Venezuelans and the English. : Mr, John Valliant, son of Judge Valliant, who has just returned from a six-months’ tour of the British West Indies, is being gatenes by his friends for information about ee Venezuela, the possibilities of war, etc. Mr. Valliant was in Venezuela and he left with no exalted opinion of the abilities of the P pens 2 or the freedom of their so- called Republican government. In Georgetown, British Guiana, he met Mr. Quelch, who had been a World’s Fair Commissioner. Mr. Quelch had been enter- tained in St. Louis by friends of Mr. Val- Nant, and the latter found the English- man disposed to reciprocate. Mr. Valliant does not like the English any more than the Veneguelans. He was provoked at the intense assurance of the Queen’s army officers’ and civil officials. They were positive that the United States could be overrun in a short time by an English army in case of war. COUNTRY CLUB EVENTS.

Popular Enthusiasm Was Areused by the Victory ef the Prince of Wales’ Thais—Sport Notes. LONDON, May 1.—This was the third and last day of the Newmarket first spring meeting. ; Ramapo, the American horse, Was among the ten starters in the race for the Bretby Plate, but was unplaced. This race was a handicap of 200 sovereigns, distance three- quarters of a mile, and it was won by: Il Fracombe, Recorder second and Sweet Au- burn third. Fourteen horses, including Pierre Loril- lard’s Lamerock, ran in the May Plate of 300 sovereigns, for 2-year-olds, distance five furlongs. L. De Rothschilds’ Goletta won, Stewarton second and High Chancellor third. For the 1,000 guineas stakes, there were nineteen starters, distance one mile and leven yards. Thais, owned the Prince y ie Douglass phisas Santa of Wales, won; Maura second, Lord Zetland’s Jolly Boat third. St. Ange took the lead from the start un- til the bushes were reached when Thais drew up, and was never headed, winning by a head. Second and third horses were separated by three-quarters of a length. The betting stood 5 to 1 on Thais. The victory for the Prince of Wales’ horse was the signal for an outburst of pop- ular enthusiasm. Pierre Lorillard’s Dacotah II. was one of the six starters in the race for the Brinkley plate, but was unplaced. T. Jenning’s Glow won, Sir Farquhar’s The Quack second, Capt. Machelis Mitre third. . TURF GOSSIP. Alex. Ullman Will Control the Betting Ring—Derby Candfdates’ Work. Two corking good stables that arrived at the Fair Grounds .Friday were those of Green B. Morris anf Lucky Baldwin. Both strings came from California, the Morris lot direct and Baldwin's via San Antonio,_where a brief stop was made to give the nags a rest. Sir Play, Sallie Cliquot, Dare Dollar, Miss Maxim and other well-known horses are in the Morris string. Morris has two horses in the Inaugural, Sir Play and imp. Star Ruby. Both are declared fit, but the former will probably carry the stable colors in the stake. He is a 3-year-old bay gelding by Sir Modred out of Plaything, and judg- ing from his performance on the coast will bear watching. The heavy rain of Friday morning put a temporary quietus on preparatory work, and only moderate galloping was indulgedin. It will be several days yet before Supt. Chris- ty will let the horses on the big track, and Be really fast fast work can be done until tnen. . . 7 The Fair Association has reconsidered its partial determination to control the betting during the big meeting and on Thursday accepted an offer from Alex. Ullman. It is said that $100,000 is the figure, with a guaran- tee of $20,000 that the ring will be conducted in a satisfactory manner. St. Louis turf patrons will be pleased with tbe selection of Mr. Ullman, who has been long and favorably connected with racing affairs in this city. Associated with him will be Capt. E. A. Sinclair, which insures that the ring will ‘be well conducted. While everybody is conceding the Ken- tucky Derby to be at the mercy of Dwyer’s reat crack, Ben Brush, a very important act seems to have been overlooked. As a 2-year-old Ben Brush was a wonder, but there is nothing to indicate that he will train on in the same form as a 3-year-old. Ben Brush comes from a family of sprint- ers rather than a family that is able to cover a route of ground. While Bramble himself was good at a long distance, none of his get, bar Clifford, ever cared about going very far, and a mile and an eighth suited Clifford better than a mile and a quarter. On his dam’s side sprinting is again in evidence. Roseville is by Reform, and Reform by Alarm. However, Azra, a full brother to Roseville, won the Derby going a mile and a half, and this woul indicate that there was enpugh of the “staying blood’ in Ben Brush to warrant the belief that he can go a mile and a quarter. - First Mate is the tip of a lot of wise people for the Derby. He will carry a world of wealth. It is expected that not over six, and possibly but four, flyers will go to the post. In addition to the pair al- ready named there yet remain Doc Mc- Lean’s pair, Loki and Rookwood, Brown Dick’s Ulysses and Hops Laudeman’s Ra- miro. If Ben Brush shows the form that he is expected to show between now and the starting day the McLean fiyers will be scratched. Brown Dick thinks Ulysses has a royal chance to beat Ben Brush, and there is no time nor place that Brown Dick’s opinion is not entitled to respect. He raised and trained both colts, and he ought to know something about their respective merits. jn the tips for the Derby, Laudeman’s te GREAT RAMAPO ts WOMAN’S INFLUENCE. The influence of women upon the civilization of the world, could never be measured. Because of her, thrones have been established and destroyed.

Cooley, Dowd a¥@® Quinn Are Hitting Away Below Their Record. When all St. Louls was jubilating over the success of the Browns in the Louisville series the Post-Dispatch pointed out the" weakness of the team at the bat, and pro- phesied that unless the reputed big hitters of the team braced up and hit the ball not all the good pitching and fielding in the ee could save the team from diurnal de- eat. ' Yesterday’s game in Chicago was an im- ediate fulfillment of the Post-Dispatch’s prediction. From the telegraphic reports of the game one would infer that Hart preemes excellently,: although the Chicago ase hit column, which totals up eleven hits, does fot carry out the tmpression. The Browns got but six hits, and no team. can fe an average game nowadays with six a When the pitching distance was increased it was expected that the batting would be very heavy. During the first year, 1894, it was, but in 1895 the pitchers seemed to have cares acctstomed to the change and the itting was reduced. This year it seems to have grown stili lighter and there is every reason to believe that the pitcher has in a great measure recovered his former su- premacy. os ~ ” When Anson was here with his team last week a Post-Dispatch representative questioned him-on the subject. The great Captain admitted that the pitcher had grown more potent than he was in 1894, but added that he had mot recovered all of his old short-distance effectiveness. AS & general thing,” said the veteran, any pitcher who holds his opponents down to eight hits ought to win his game. Of course, there are exceptional cases, when both twirlers are unusually effective, but any team of decent batting strength ought to be able to hammer a pitcher for ten hits in a nine-inning game.” Anson comes pretty near being right. Yet there have been occasions this year when the Browns lost th game although their itcher .held his down to_five hits. reitenstein’s game’against Chicago, for in- stance. That sort of base-running and bat- ting will not land angthing but tail-end dis- honors. The men on the Brown Stocking team who are regarded as good batters are Cooley, Dowd, Quinn and Connor. Douglas, the new man, is also a heavy hitter, but as he has no National League record, it is not possible to place him accurately. Meyers is in the Same category as is McFariand. Latham is a .315 man of long standing, but his record this year, both in the fleld and at the bat, has put him out of the question. , The great falling off in ‘hitting its partiou- larly noticeable in the case of Cooley, Dowd and Quinn. These fellows were all .350 men last year. Quinn opened up the season at a .400 gait, but fell off when he was made manager. Dowd started badly, but finished at a .400 clip. Cooley batted steadily at a .340 lick all through the season. He was by all odds the best hittter on the team. His hitting was timely and consistent. Connor had an average of .325 last year, al- though it was a mystery how he acquired it, as his hitting on the home grounds was very ene Roger has picked u wonderfully in is playing this year, and bas been ham- mering the ball with a show of his old-time vigor. He ought to bat at least .330 this Year, As far 2s Dowd and Quinn go, they have been hitting the ball hard, but unsafely. They are bound to come pretty soon. Cooley however, has not shown his great speed of last year, when his clean, wicked hit- ting made him a reputation in* one short season, Dick is young, well-behaved and ambitious, and is bound to get there. Every- thing considered, Douglas and Meyers have been hitting the ball harder than any of their team mates. This is encouraging. Meyers got two hits at Chicago yesterday. one a triple that scored two runs, and Doug- las got a double. The hits were made of Friend, who many people class as a séc- ond Breitenstein: It is very encouraging to see the youngsters hit so well. McFarland is what is called a “crazy” hitter. That is, he hits at bad balls. Some. times he will reach up tn the air and drive a high ball for a home run and again he will pick one off the ground or away out- side the plate. Parrott is the same kind of a hitter. The further the ball is away from the plate the beiter he likes it. “By the way, Parrott is a hitter from away back. He hk .340 in forty-2zight games last year. The team has done very well so far. If it wins one of the remaining two games in Chicago it will be doing well and will re- turn in good shape for the Eastern club se. ries of twenty games at home. Batting will come in time, but the nine must be strength- ened in the pitching department. Hart and Breitenstein are all right, but no two pitchers can stand the strain of a League race nowadays. ANOTHER WARD STORY. The Louisville Club Is Also After the Great Player-Manager. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 1-—John M. Ward, the base ball player, has been offered $5,000 to manage the Louisville Base Bail Club, both off and on the field. The deal has been on for some time, but the man- agement kept the matter a secret and it only leaked out last night. When seen in regard to the deal, Mr. Deh- ler, one of the directors of the club, said: “If Ward with his energy, experience and well-known methods of managing can secured with the money the directors are willing to invest in good material, he will be abie to place thig year a club in the field that will make the first division. The mee af g yt have not, however, been clo and it is possible that they will not be. “In that event the club has another good man view.” How They Stand. Ww.

Altheugh a Descendant of William Penn, She Was Net Ashamed to Werk for Her Living. Love is a great.leveler when it gets a fair chance, Age and caste of position bow before ‘its sweeping influence and this is why John H. Heidbreder and Miss Eva Dougherty are man and wife. He is rich and influential. She just a simple girl who worked for her living—even as a servant for him and his family. But this made no difference. They loved each other and that was enough. Mr. Heidbreder lives at 2507 University street. He is one of the best known and wealthiest citizens of the North End. His father was the founder of the Liberty Brewery and he was himself at its head when it was absorbed by the St. Louis Brewing Association. In exchange for their interest in the brewery each member of the Heidbreder family received a goodly number of the bonds of the Brewing Association and judi- cious investment of those and other funds has made each member of them independ- ently wealthy. There are four sisters and three brothers in the family and they are now interested in the Superior Ice and Cold Storage Com- any, the ice-making plant of which is at weilfth and Palm streets, John Heidbreder’s wealth is estimated at about $200,000. The brothers and sisters are named John H., Charles W., George L., Annie, Amelia, Katie and Lena Heidbreder. They all live together in the University street home. Miss Eva Dougherty, the fortunate young woman, has worked for the Heidbreders about two and a half years. She has a mother and two sisters, who live at 210 Salisbury street.

She remained in her position for two years. One day last fall she received a telegram from Poplar Bluffs, Mo., saying that she must come there at once, if she wished to see her mother alive. She obeyed the sum- mons, but on her arrival at Poplar Bluff ‘found her mother somewhat improved and sent her back to St. Louis. ‘Miss ate erty herself remained at Pop- lar Bluff with friends until Jan. 1, when she, too, returned to this city and the next morning resumed her position in charge of the household goods of the Heidbreders.

J., May 1.—There is a fresh recruit in the Soldiers’ Home at Kearney, and one of the oddest characters of Newark has ever known will end his days in rest and peace among the veterans of the 60’s. Henry C. Voigt, the hermit veteran, is 98 years old. He went through the Mexican war and fought with the Union boys from the beutuninar until the end of the rebellion. About nineteen years ago-he began a her- mit existence in a ramshackle hut, cooking the food given to him by friends. For sev- eral months little was seen of the old man. His pet rats could be seen going and out of the windows of the hut, but igt k within déors. Nefghbors complai of t place, and Health Inspector Seidl deter- mined to raise the htit and send Voigt to the home. When Dr. Seidl entered the place with two inspectors, Voigt sat on a ragged bed feed- ing half a dozen old rats. Two of the ani- mals were playing in Voigt’s beard, which hung in a tangled mass a foot below his chin. The old man was loth to leave the den, but was forced to get into a pgtrol wagon and go to his new home. 7 In clearing out the hut some rare and wonderful things were discovered. Valuable books and ojl paintings were found under layers of dust. Letters from eminent Ger- ‘mans of heif a century ago were piled ona shelf.

Sisters in Shame Do the Last Honors to the Woman Whe Was Stran- gled to Death. The body of Dora Wagner, the girl who was murdered last Sunday night by her Chinese consort, Jeu Jung, in her room in the rear of 718 Market street, was carried in a white coffin from the room in which she was strangled to the grave in the Holy Ghost Cemetery at 1:30 o’clock Friday. It was a strange cortege, with the foun women companions as pallbearers and the celestial contingent following the corpse to the ave. Belle Evans had charge of the funeral, much to the disgust of Maude Williams, who also wanted the dead girl’s effects. The two little rooms in Hop Alley had been cleaned up, the carpets swept for the first time in months and the litter that cov- ered the floor when the body was first found had been carted away, so that the\ place looked like some really tidy people had lived there. When a Post-Dispatch reporter called at the rooms in the morning there was a lone woman watching the co . The coffin waa in the center of the fron room and be- side the body was sitting a fallen sister weeping on a pillow of carnations, in which was worked the words, “Our Companion.”’ She was tall, fairly good-looking, but with eyes that told rx too well of the dissipa- tion through which she had gone. She was dressed in her best, an ancient blue silk, with a faded pattern. Her shoes were wrecks, exposing her feet in places / meoalg holes had been worn through the stockin She was the woman of a Chinaman w lived further up the alley and who had been & good friend of the dead girl. n the other room the wreck of -what was once a white man was sitting on a chair, his chin resting in his hands and his y bent over nea to his knees. He was a mourner also. His grief seemed to be beyond limit. Now and then he would pull the arm of his sleeve across his eyes to wipe the tears away. Althougn h he could not talk it was evident he had been a rejected lover of Dora Wagner—a lover who, though he had been ouppaamees by a Chinaman, remained loyal to e girl and came back from the slums in Which he had — living to see for the last time the face ee ae girl who had apparently crushed his Belle Evans was nearly sick. ‘Man Ling, the wealthiest Celestial in the alley, had started off the subscription list to raise money to pay the undertaker, and Belle had collected the balance from ‘her friends, getting a sum sufficient to pay expenses. “The idea of me wanting to bury Dora to et possession of this furniture,”’ she said, Fis simply preposterous. Of course after Dora is under the ground I will sell the fur- niture, and wi ith the money have a head stone put on her grave. “But I am a little worrled about a preach- er. You see, the girl died under condi- tions not exactly approved by any religion, but then it doesn’t cut so much ice cream about the sermon and that sort of stuff— the idea is to get her buried. I reckon we can do that if we pay the undertaker. About J: ‘3 o’clock the four pall-bearers came. were Minnie Clays, Annie Mack, corals and Lizzie. Ms were Gressed in their best and that pretty good for Hop alley, though chev t F not have cut much of a figure at a might not concert.

The police had to force a passageway through the crowd so that the procession could pass. Then the cortege filed slowly out of the alley on to Pighth street, then to Clark ave- nue and on out west to the Holy Ghost Cemetery, known as Picker’s Grave where the coffin was lowered into the grave without further ceremony. WHEN DORA DIED. Hop Alley Inte Grief Was Plunged and All the Dope Fiends Sighed. Oh! life will never be the same, and joy will never shed the warm, sweet radiance that we knew ere Dora dear was dead. There’s sorrow now in every heart that once the fates defied, and grief through all the alley reigns since Dora Wagner died. So bright she was, so fair to view,«s0 comely and serene, that all the sealous “‘flends’” were proud to own her for their queen. With qpeees® Se x: oe walked about like one to eaven ed, and there is — to set the pace nom Dora Wagner ied. Oh! she was like a blooming rose upon a desert bare, and brighter than a crown of gold wrs her luxuriant hair. Her hands were like two lilies white that float upon the tide, and Beauty’s self was made to mourn when Dora Wagner died. A pall has settled o’er the ‘“‘flends” that were so light of yore. There’s sorrow now in every heart and crepe on every door. Deep lamentation may be heard and grief on every side, for life has lost its only charm since Dora Wagner died. No more upon her humble cot will Dora “hit the pipe,” to ease the pangs of thwarted hope or pleasures over-ripe. No more will gladness crown her days or joy with her abide, for peace with fear and trembling fled when Dora Wagner died. No more, with laughter bright as dawn and warm as passion’s noon, will she illum- inate the bower she quitted all too soon. No more will vice shrink from her touch, abashed and terrified, for Satan and his hosts rejoiced when Dora Wagner died. Ah, when her faithless lover closed upon her lily throat with his avenging fingers and shut off her every note, the world that she had loved so well aloud in terror cried, and justice pees for his blood when Dora Wagner Farewell, sweet Rang fare thee well, de- mure and chaste and young, the victim’ ofa deeper wrath than ever man gave tongue!

A Syndicate Preparing to Make the Meramec Valley Blossom Like the Red, Red Bese. Immense deals in real estate have been recently consummated in Crawford County, Mo., looking to the establishment soon in that county of some of the most stupendous colonization and business schemes ever conceived in this part of the world. John C. Hubinger, the millionaire starch ? man of Keokuk, Io., representing a syndi- cate with an uniimited supply of wealth at Hé has now acquired the) its command, is at wre heac’ of the ccloniza- tion scheme. title to 88,000 acres of Jand in thet county) and will: this seas put his plans into | execution, A few weeks ago the Post-Dispatch learned of the proposed operations and | printed an artitle on the gigantic enter- prise. At that time, however, negotiations for other large, tracts of land were pending, and men who were conversant with | the situation were unable to give for publi- | cation the details of the deals. Mr. Hubinger has since closed a deal with the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Co., acquiring the title to 17,945.35 acres of land in Crawford County, and Mr, Frank C. Hoyt, the company’s land agent, talking to a Post-Dispatch reporter, confirmed this re- ort. MT his 18,000-acre purchase of Mr, Hubin- ger’s exhausts the land held by the rail- road company in that county. The purchase price was not made public but it was close to $10 per acre. 2 ° ° ° ¥ "In addition to this puvchase the Keokuk millionaire has acquired tne ownership of $0,000 acres of land in the same county ; Furnace Co. This deal was arranged by Mr. J. F. Wo-rd- é é ; ; that was formerly held by the Midland Blas: | $ : ruff, assistant counse) for the Frisco Rafl- | road, of this city, and Mr. Gibson, cashie: of the bank at Steelevilie, the county seat of Crawford County. They were the agents of the Furnace Co. and- Mr. Woodruff ef- fected the deal personally with Mr. Hu- binger. , To a Post-Dispatch reporter Mr. Wood- ruff said the purchase price wag $500,000, half cash. The land was fofmerly operated by the Midland Blast Furnace Co,., which fifteen or twenty years ago was engaged in the manufacture of pig-iron. The land was originally heavily timbered, but as the timber was cut and used for fuel it was leased to tenantg for agricultural | purposes. Much of it is now improved. According to Mr, Woodruff it is Mr. Hu- binger’s intention to divide ‘the land into 4- acre tracts and lease it to a large colony of farmers whom he will send from lowa, Crawford County is one of the best agri- cultural counties in the State. It is splen- didiy watered by the Meramec River and its numerous tributaries and the soil is as fer- tile as car be found anywhere. The low lands are adapted to the growing of cereals and the hill regions are unsOrpassed for ° : ‘ é é : fruit growing. Mr. Hubinger will erect houses for each tenant and offer them every inducement. He thinks in a very few years the farmers will be able to buy their farms at a figure which will afford him a substantial profit. The other scheme which ae eoeme oe. “>= sheen 1 CE Ling fore.

Running through Crawford County is the beautiful and romantic Meramec River. It has its rise in the wonderful Meramec spring on the southwestern boundary of the county. The water gushing from the spring is pure, clear and cold... It flows in an immense volume at all seasons. The rivér from its source for a distances of ten miles runs through a valley lined on either side with lofty limestone bluffs. The width of the valley varies from four to six miles. At a int two miles west of Steeleville and * ar\ miles south of Cuba, where the shown is completed it will back thé water up to the source at the Meramec Spring and form a beautiful Jake ay) miles long and from four to six miles wide. The water in the lake will press agains the massive d with a terrific ood. me onext 2 tremendous force—one that will be Zz \ At the dams will be butilt an electric power Brent similar to the one in operation at lagara lis. The engineers have esti- =I$ $ mated and shown to the satisfaction of the capitalists that the force of the water pow- er will be sufficient to generate enough elec- tricity to supply not alone St. Louis, but the entire State. And after the plant is once in operation it can be maintained at a cost comparatively trivial, The promoters esti- mate they can convey their power to St. Sages Frey — os low a pricé as ractically mono et ™~ ee State. ee Ee Su ttamdats na on to the electrical plant - anization will erect an ichupanen 4d ‘a eramec Springs and make it an ideal sum- vy oe an oe a will encircle electr waters. tpt ° ats will ply its r, Woodruff has been shown the surve ‘for the gigantic enterprise and has y Fore dodo the plane with Mr. Ferguson, the Steeleville banker. The latter has had charge of the matter so far and has bought more than 10,000 acres of land on either Side of the river, There yet remain three or four farms which he has been unable to secure but he is now negotiating for them an thinks they will be secured short] . Mr. Ferguson has informed Mr. Woodruft that as sooh as these few tracts of land have been secured the com y will at once begin work and the entire plant be erected as rapidly as possibile. ; wane scheme as now contemplated will re- than oc, , 35c¢ wearin Teens, ¢-in-hande ee Here’s another stylish line of Soft Hats, | plete it.
