There was not a cloud in morning. The sun beat down less persistency that took the every one. It grew steadily hotter and hotter. It ceased to be a joking matter. Men grew afraid to venture on the streets. The list of prostrations in the papers warned them, and with good reason, for victims began to fall earlier than usual. The Dispensary physicians were on hand early, exhausted with the week's fight to restore life in the stritken patients, but ready to continue the work. The hospitals were crowded, but more room had to be improvised for the sufferers, who were being constantly forwarded from the City Dispensary and the North and South Side branches. the sky all heart out of Ice is a luxury these days, and the — can afford put little, if ary, of it. hey must dink hydrant water or beer from the saloons.

Alleged to Be Oliver Winthrop, Who Was the Assistant Superintend- ent of a Cemetery. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 7.—James Campbell, the millionaire sugar planter of | Honolulu, who mysteriously dropped out of | Sight for two days this week, spys he was | imprisoned ,and robbed by Oliver W. Win- | throp, who attempted to obtain the capital- ist's signature to a $20,000 check as the price | of his iberty. Winthrop, who was tried and acquitted4ast year on a eharge of poisoning a woman in Laurel Hill Cemetery, of which | he Was assistant superintendent, has dis- appeared. No trace can be found of his | confederates. Campbell says Winthrop decoyed him to his house on a slight pretext. Suddenly, ne says, a masked man rushed into the room, and, pointing a revolver at his head, | ordered him to throw up his hands. Camp- bell says he leaped at his assailant and felled him to the floor. The man was dazed, almost stunned, but leveling his revolver against Campbell fired. The millionaire says the bullet grazed his temple and passed through his hat into the wall. Camp- bell) sprang at the man again, but before he gould reach him he was knocked down by Winthrop, who struck him over the head with some heavy instrument. The two men then pounced on Camp- bell and bound, handcuffed and gagged him. They lifted him from the floor to bed and strapped him toit. His feet and hands were tied to the four corners of the bed and a chain was passed over his body and fastened to staples driven into the floo?. Captain of Detectives Lees, in his investiga- tion afterwards, found the evidence ot this. Cords were passed around Camp- bell’s body and drawn so tight that he could not move. For twelve hours Campbell was kept in this position, the gag being in his mouth all the time. On Tuesday morning the gag was removed, with the caution that he would be killed if he made any noise. He was told that he would have to sign a check or order for $20,000 before he would be released. He was shown a document, which they asked him to sign, and he was also ordered to write a note to ) wite asking her to cash-the check and to give the money to the bearer without a any questions, | Campbell says he refused to even read the paper, Telling his captors that he did not care what they did to him. He said he was an old man, and did not have a great while to live anyway, and that they could kill bim before ne would submit to such an out- rage. He did not care much for $20,000, he said but he would not be blackmailed or robbed. His captors replied that they would keep him strapped to the bed as he was un- til he did sign the paper. Tuesday passed with no change in the situation, Ather Winthrop or the young masked man arding Campbell constantly. They offered him drink and food, and an- nounced their willingness to give him any- thing he wanted, but he refused everything for tear they intended to poison him. He was given every attention, but was kept strapped to the bed all the time and no op- portunity for escape was allowed. When Campbell was first seized and thrown on the bed, he says, Winthrop took $305 in coin from his pocket and kept it; The younger man, as far as Campbell knows, did not get any of his money. Whe the newspapers published the fact tha Campbell had disappeared, the millionaire says his captors became frightened and after dark released him. The police have a description of Winthrop’s confederate, but no clew to his whereabouts. ~ ROUND STARVING. Edward Burgess Could Get Em- ployment and Was Discovered Dying in a Vacant House. Edward Burgess, 22 years of age, came to St. Louis three weeks ago from De Soto, Mo., in search of work. He was found dying of starvation Friday morning in a vacant house at 1701 South Third street. The young man was a laborer and thought he would have little difficulty in finding work in a great city. He had some money and secured lodging and board with an im- poverished family at 1703 South Third street. Each day he tramped the streets in search Jof work. His money gradually dwindled. The family with whom he was stopping fre- quently went hungry themselves after Bur- gess’ money gave out. good to hear our groans.

Each morning found him less able, from hunger and exhaustion from the heat, to continue his search for subsistence. Thursday morning he was utterly unable from weakness to leave the asylum he had chosen. He was too weak to go in search even of water for his parched lips. He lay and suffered all of Thursday and Thursday night. Friday morning Patrol- man Strong, passing the place, heard the man's groans. He had him removed to the City Dispensary. The man was scarcely able to talk, but he managed to communi- cate the fact that he had not (asted food for three days. The doctors sald that his death was & matter of a few hours.

Plumer’s column over a native force estimated to have numbered from 5,000 to 7,000. The latter fought most des perately and bravely, charging up within a few yards of the British rapid-fring guns. About 500 of the Matabele warriors were slain during the engagement, which lasted several hours, and the loss to the British included Maj.

An Interesting Bit of History That Will Be Extensively Read in the Coming Campaign. There appeared upon the news stands Thursday morning a small pamphiet en- titled “A History of Demonetization.” written by Mr. Bronson C. Keeler of this city, which is certain to produce a pro- found impression during the coming cam- paign. It is an account of the legislation which enacted the famous law of 1873, and traces the progress of that statute from its first appearance in the Treasury Depart- ment in 1869 to its signature by President Grant in 1873. References are given in foot-notes for all the historical statements, so that the latter can be readiliy verified, thus making it a convenient pocket book of data for anyone desiring such information. But the chief interest centers in that part wherein the author undertakes to account for the hith- erte unexplained mystery, as to why the section of the bill which demonetized silver Was not debated in the Senate on the day ‘when it passed that body unanimously, Jan. 77, 1873, upon the occasion of the last leg- islative action before it was approved by the President. The first em Bey 4 Gals with the motive which prompted the legislation, shows the relation of primary money to prices, and points out how a decrease in the amount of the former, either absolutely or rélatively, as compared with the amount of commodi- tles. puts down prices, increases debts and trangles legitimate business. e second chapter gives quotations from the later ut- terances of members of Congress who voted for the bill, M that they did not know at the time that the measure demonetized silver. The third gives a history of the bill in the Senate in January, 1871. The measure was prepared in the Treasury Department by Hon. Geo. S. Boutwell, then Secretary of the EN. with the ald of Hon. John Jay Knox, Deputy Comptroller of the Cur- rency. It was sent to Mr. Sherman, as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, and introduceed by him into the It bore a deceptive title, “An act revising and amending the laws relative to the mints, assay offices, and colnage of the United States, and purported to be merely a codification. of existing laws on the sub- ject. It was a very long document, meas- uring about seventeen feet if set in ordi- nary newspaper type, and in ordinary width of column. Its great length was evidently intended to prevent its ** in news- papers, and its perusal by members of Con- gress or the general public. With the bill came a letter of transmittal from Secretary Boutwell, saying that it Senate. mc ‘attractir “5 * n a | 1 * 2 . 25 ae” 8 e 4 EA 7 2 n 5 fe 3 * * 1 N 5 ’ I. ‘ 155 a : N 2 5 N 8 ie ae tas % f As - ie 4 3 i i Dab a > Yes . . . as 2 2 8 * 5 SoS eat : * * 5³ + 4 r 4 8 ‘Cee - + 4 An 7 “a +. 5 nion dollar out and the trade he bill, rhe silver dollar without debate and without tention. To make matters worse, on the suggestion of Senator Cole of California, the Dill wae ordered printed with the proposed amen : ments, so that each Senator could see jus what he voted for. This was done, the en- tire bill being set up in the government printing office, section by) section, each section that was to be amended being ac- companied by its proposed amendment. Fhere were in all twenty amendments, but the most important were in four consecutive sections,the clause demonetizing silver being in section. (16) 15, the double numbering be- ing made necessary for that section, and all suceeding it by the fact that the Finance Committee of the Senate proposed to strike out section 15, and when that was done the old numbers of suceeding sections. the ones in brackets, were to be dropped, and the new numbers were to take their places. The printed proceedings of that day’s de- bate, as published in the Congressional Globe, show that every amendment propos- ea was debated? except the one in sec. (16) 15, and especially were the amendments in those sections which immediately precede and follow the section demonetizing silver debated exhaustively, the discussion occu- pying several pages of the Congressional Globe. But fof some mysterious reason, the section which demonetized silver was not re- ferred to or debated, as shown by the offi- cial records. One of the most amazing things in the his- 8 of American politics is that this is so little known. Probably not a man who reads this ever heard of it before. Yet it is one of the most momentous facts in the history of the qeunery. and the question, with the few who have known of it for the past twenty- three years, has been: How was debate on this section prevented that day? The theory accepted by the few who have been acquainted with it has been. that the Clerk of the Senate did not read the amend- ment when it was reached in the course of the debate. The trouble with this is that it does not account for the fact that every Senator who was following the debate also missed it, although they had a printed copy of the bill, with the amendments in italic type, before them. Not a Senator saw it or called the attention of the Clerk to the fact that it had been skipped. Mr. Sherman explains it by saying that the section was debated, but that the short- hand reporter, in the hurry incident per- haps to the time, dropped it! Mr. Sherman advances this theory in all seriousness, and not at all as > joke. ‘ Mr. Keeler advances the startling theory that the section was not printed in the prof bill, and the evidence which he produces to sustain the theory is unquestionably of a very strong character—too strong, in fact, to be ignored even by Mr. Sherman’s strong- est friends. Mr. Keeler cites one evidence after another, all circumstantial, it is true, but official and internal, to build up his theory; and finally clinches the case with one startling and direct point of testimony | by referring to a statement in an official document, the list of the Senate amend- | ments, which was prepared the same day as the debate, in which section 15 is stated to be on page 11 of the proof bill, whereas it is, in the official records, on page 10; al- though if the demonetizing section were not 1 in the proof bill, section 15 would ave been on page 11. It does not require much reading be- tween the lines to perceive that, according to Mr. Keeler’s theory, there was a con- spiracy which involved four high officials in the Government, with assistance from clerks who had been bought by a band of speculators and conspirators in the lobbies, to put through secretly the demonetization of silver. This has been charged many times in a general way by the public, but the evi- included in a condensed form all the im- dence presented by Mr. Keeler is of such portant legislation upon the coinage, not a detailed nature that the finger of sus- then obsolete, since the first mint was es- tablished in 1792; that there had been no revision of the mint laws since 1837; and that the enactment of ‘the proposed statute would conduce greatly to the efficiency of that important branch of the Government service. This letter completely deceived Con- gress and threw it of its guard, by deep- ening the impression that the measure Was merely a codification of pre-existing laws. But it was a mendacious missive. Existing laws, not then obsolete, provided for the coining of a standard silver dollar of 412% grains, which was the unit of value, had unrestricted coinage, and was a full legal tender for any amount. The new bill, on the other hand, dropped entirely the sil- ver dollar from the silver coins, indiréctly forbade its further-issue and made the gold dollar the unit of value, The bill was galled up by Mr. Sherman Jan. 1, 1873, and was accompanied at the game time with eight amendments. These were generally of an inconsequential char- acter, but one, which provided for a coinage charge of three-tenths of 1 per cent for gold, was bitterly resisted by the Senators from the mining States, particularly those from California. The debate on the eight amend- ments lasted for two days, and fills forty- five and one-half columns of the Congress. ional Globe. Of these, two and one-half are occupied by the debate on the other seven amendments, by several yea and nay votes and other routine matters, and the other forty-three columns are filled with the dis- cussion on the coinage charge. At the end of the second day the vote was taken and picion points with startling and remark- able ciearness to four particular officials. The pamphlet is certain to cut a figure in the coming campaign. The famous law of 1873 is printed in full as an appendix. I BAD MEMORY. A Fifteen-Year-Old Girl Who Knows She Is Pretty and Objects to Home Life. Hattie Fry, the pretty 15-year-old girl, who eloped last Sunday on a bicycle with Fred Kurtseborn from Prospect Hill picnic grounds, was found by the police at Twelfth street and Washington avenue Friday morn- ing, and Patrolmen Platzer and Bunting led her to the Four Courts, where she was placed in Matron Harris’ detention room. Hattie’s account of her elopement and where she has been since is not a pleasing one. In truth, she gets a little mixed on names and dates, and it was several min- utes before she could explain how she came the bill passed. But during the entire time the bill itself was not debated, Nothing but the amendments were considered. ) Senators were under the impression that the bill was merely a codification of already existing laws, and that the amendments comprised what was new. As a resulf the ferred to. Not a Senator, except Mr. Sher- man, knew that it was in the bill, and he did not inform others of the fact that it was there. They voted unconsc.ous that they were r the white metal, The amendment providing for the colnage charge was lost in Committee of the Whole, and Mer. Sherman voted against the bill on the final vote in the Senate; for thé reason, as he now states, that the coinage charge was stricken out, and not because the bill de- monetized s.ilver. This is the only time the Dill ever had a yea-and-nay vote in Con- gress, and it is the occasion on which Sena- tor Stewart of Nevada voted for the bill of which the public has heard so much; the reason for his vote affimatively being that he did not know that it demonetized silver. This is also the occasion, of which the pub- Le has heard equally much, when Mr. Sher- man voted against the measure. When the bill went to the House it was referred to the section demonetizing silver was not re- started out to find her Sunday a but Wetghts and Measures and some member evidently insisted on having a dollar among the silver coins. Instead of inserting the Standard dollar of 412 ains, however, the committee put in the Value to the French five-franc piece. Its legal tender quality was, however, limited to five dollars, thus demonetizing it. evidence presented makes it almost certain that most of the members of the committee did not realize the momentous change in our monetary policy by this step. Two un- Successful efforts were made to pass the bill in the House, but so much resistance was made to the reduction in Weight of the Silver dollar, especially by Mr. Potter of New York, that the effort was abandoned. ut two months after that time, Hon. acting chairman of the Samuel Hooper, Committee on Coinage, Weights and Meas- Eres, and manager of the bill, called it up, n the absence of Mr. Potter, and offered a itute, which, he said, met with uni- | approval from all to whom he had re- . it, implying that all the ob ectionable res of the former bil) had been re- — In answering two questions from ey ra he misrepresented the facts as to © K and under a suspension of the rules, ill Was passed without reading, without and without yea and nay votes, * ignorant of the fact that it con- clause demonetizing silver. moasure, thus amended, went back sehen nate for final action.

When she was last seen Sunday she wore a picnic pink silk dress and it made a ser- Vvieable bicycle costume. Her brother, living at 10411 with whom she had been Columbia Bottom road did not run across her until Tuesda ing, when he found her living with some friends at Nineteenth and Hebert streets. He was on his — 92 and as it was late he intended taking her to another acquaint- ance's house at Sixteenth and Franklin avenue, where they could remain over night and then start home in the morning. He , walked her down: to Broadway and put her on a cable car, telling her to get off at Franklin avenue. He rode beside the car on his wheel until he got to North Mar- ket street when his bicycle broke down and he could follow her no more. She did not get off the car at Franklin avenue and she was not seen again by her relatives until her arrest. “I don’t care if I do go to the House of the Good Shepherd,“ Hattie pertly re- marked to the Post-Dispatch reporter, but when she was told that if she went there her pretty blonde hair would be cut close to her head, she relented and said she guessed she had rather go home. “It's too quiet out where we live, and that’s why ran away, said she. I like the city, and when I’m married I intend to live right in the middle of the busiest part of town.“ Hattie is a very good looking girl and she knows it. She occupied a chair di- rectly in front of Mrs. Harris’ long mirror and was admiring herself when the re- porte> entered. It was an effort on her part to remember who gave her the gold watch and who bought the fine new clothes for her, but she finally thought his name was Tom—Tom Finnegan, a wholesale man, but she did not know any more’about him than that ) he presented her with the jewelry and the , money with which to buy dresses, although she was firm in saying that she had done no wrong. She had forgotten where she stayed since she has been away. She said she had stopped three or four days on Washington avenue; on Market street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, for three or four days; at Nineteenth and Madison for three days, and several days at other places, She has only been away since last Sunday. Hattie says that lately she has been stay- ing in the Market street house, where her clothes are now. That house is on the police calendar as an immoral one. She says that she eloped with Kurtzeborn intending to live with him, but he left her and she thought she would stay away from home and have a good time. She will be taken to her home. even- ' Burial Permits. Gearge W. Obergonner, 14, 1107 St. Louis av.; malaria. 1 Taikner, 2, 2621 Baldwin av.; burned to eath.

NEW MEN TO THE FRONT. No Sores Left and All Will Work Har- moniously for Free Silver and Bryan. Special to The Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Aug. 7.—The Democratic State Convention, which com- pleted its work and adjourned sine dig last night, was one of the most enthusiastic for many years. In spite of the terrific heat. which made any exertion a burden, Demo- crats from all over the State worked en- thusiastically and harmoniously in the framing of the ticket. The contests for several of the places were vigorously fought to a finish, but when the result was announced in each instance that ended the fight. The followers of the defeated candidates became the devoted “rooters’’ of the suc- cessful ones, and no scars were left. As the Democratic leaders and managers review the work to-day, it is made plain that the convention made no mistakes. The ticket nominated is considered exceptionally Strong. It is well placed geographically and tha strongest men in each contest are those whose names appear on the Demo- reatic ticket as the nominees of the State convention. The signal distinction 8 Lon V. Steph- ens of being nominated for Governor of Missouri by acclamation was a tribute to E. C. CROW. (For Attorney-General.) his fidelity to the cause of silver as well as to the ability with which his campaign was conducted. Associated with him are some of the best campaigners in the State. They are all business men, as well as pol- iticlans, and the campaign is to be con- ducted on business lines. It will be opened early and conducted vigorously until elec- tion day. The Democrats who were apprehensive that Missouri was a doubtful State, went away last night convinced that they were mistaken. There was no mistaking the tone of the convention, made up of delegates who came direct from the people in each of the 114 counties in the State. They were all enthu- siastic and brimful of confidence. Their re- ports to the members of the State Commit- tee were uniformly to the effect that all Democrats in their counties would vote this fall. There would be no Democrats in Mis- souri out fishing on elect on day, when there was a chance to vote for Bryan and free silver. The significant feature of the Conven- tion just adjourned, was the number of new men im the delegations from the dif- ferent counties and districts. It was a strong Convention. The realign- ment of forces caused by the Pertle Springs Convention, brought forward many vig- orous, forceful Democrats who heratofore had been content to let others assume leadership. In the State Convention the best brain and talent of the free silver Democracy T. J. HENNESSY. (For Railroad Commissioner.) were brought forward, and the result is a ticket and a platform on which they will sweep the State by 40,000. While no arrangements have yet been made for the campaign, it is to be one of the most vigorous ever conducted by the Democratic party. It is to carry the war into the enemy’s country and to pour silver shot at the gold- bug Republicans from now until the elec- tion. TICKET COMPLETE.

They will never tolerate perma- nency of such exceptional privileges. So long as they tax themselves for the public education they will never admit that the standard of public intelligence is so low that public office mustsbe relinquished, in fee, to the select few. The question of life tenure is a part of the great issue. It is logical for the Re- publicans, declaring for a moneyed aris- tocracy, to declare for an official aristoc- racy. It is logical for the Democrats, de- claring against a moneyed aristocracy, to denounce an official aristocracy. — — «¢. — A WINNING TICKET. The ticket nominated by the Missouri Democrats is one well chosen not only to command the support but arouse the enthusiasm of the party. We have here- tofore spoken of how admirably the can- didate for Governor fits a platform de- claring for monetary reform and busi- ness methods in State administration. What is true of Mr. Stephens is true of Mr. Bolte, the candidate for Lieutenant- Governor; true of Lesueur for Secretary of State, of Seibert for Auditor, of Pitts for Treasurer, of Crow for Attorney- General, and of Hennessey for Railroad Commissioner. All these men are not only in line with party opinion on the great question of the hour, but they are all men of demonstrated business and executive capacity, fitted to carry to still ' grander results the splendid administra- tive record of the Democratic party in Missouri. Of the men nominated, Stephens, Sei- bert and Lesueur have had large part in the making of the record on which the party now confidently appeals to the people for continued support. The new men are known to be of the character and capacity necessary to carry forward the work of making the future equal the ' } larger | 8 ee 948. — 3 * — — at Grand Rapids.

The renomination of Judge Brace to the Supreme Court was expected, al- though some strong and excellent candi- dates stood against him. It is seldom that the people, having proved the ability and integrity of a man on the bench, will consent to displace him. No com- binatipn could be strong enough to defeat the excellence of the record of Judge Brace on the bench, and nothing can defeat his re-election. > —F, —__--—-——_ WO PROPHECIES. The Honorable Alex. K. McClure of the Philadelphia Times is one of the most en- tertaining prophets in the business. Any one who has read his predictions of dis- aster in the event of a Democratic victory this year, now going the rounds of the Republican press, will admit the fact. Perhaps even Mr. McClure will himself admit it. The McClure prophecies are always dis- mal, but there is a deadly fascination about them which seizes the attention in the first line and holds it to the end. |The reader may struggle to escape.

The first of the troubles ushering in the gold basis panic of 1893 began with the disastrous collapse of the experiment of foreign control of an American coun- try. As is well known, the great banking house of Baring Bros. had taken almost complete possession of the Argentine Re- public, had become the supreme power in its politics and the dictator of its finan- elal policy. The result was bankruptcy for the Barings themselves, revolution and great political disorder for the Ar- gentine Government, ruin for thousands of its people and business prostration from which it has not yet recovered. Under the political sway of the Bar- ings, the business of the Argentine people Was put on a credit basis, in which all exchanges of commodities was made through floating debt—that is, through corporation notes circulating as money. Nothing is easier than to inflate such a floating debt until all other values are affected by it. To do so is to abolish cash in business and to substitute for it a doubtful credit: based on llabilities in- stead of assets. This is what happened to the Argentines. They were induced to do busines on the liabilities of the Barings, of their local agents and asso- clates, represented in circulation by a floating debt of corporation notes, every one of which increased the Nability of business to sudden collapse. Had the people of the Argentine Re- public kept their mints open for the coin- age of a sufficient stock of gold and silver to give them a cash currency, they would have been secure, for the money in circu- lation not being itself part of a corpora- tion debt, would not have shown them by collapsing at their need that it is im- possible to turn private liabilities into | public asséts merely by circulating them on silk paper. The result of this experiment showed fully what the great banking houses of the European cities mean when they in- sist on the use of “honest money” in the United States. They mean the greatest possible restriction in cash currency is- sued by the people through their own mints and the largest possible circulation of notes which can be issued by private corporations controlled from London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. — en ute — PART OF THE GREAT ISSUE. Weaker even than its other parts is that part of the declaration of the St. Louis Wall Street Democrats denouncing the Democratic party pronouncement Against life tenure. The Democratic party has never op- posed a merit system, but its opposition to official monopoly and aristocracy is mot new. Such opposition is of the essence of Democracy. When Mr. Cleve- land abandoned Democracy for an aris- tocracy of wealth under the gold stan- dard, he as logically abandoned it for an aristocracy of officeholders under life tenure. An official aristocracy is neces- sary to a moneyed aristocracy, A per- manent officia] class is, in fact, neces- ®ary to the permanency of a moneyed | 1 class, annot have escaped the not intelligent and observing people hee 8 d for an official aristocracy has coincident with the rise of Class on and the consolidation of great * Selfish interests seeking to control gov- a * * a. ‘ ernment for their further enrichment at Public expense.

That, indeed, was a prophecy which made the stoutest heart quail. Mr. McClure saw the specter of red revolution outlined against the heavens. He declared that the enemies of the established order were “seeking to seize the Government.” There was but one way to meet the forces of ruin. Blaine, then a candidate for the Repub- lican nomination, was not, he said, the man to meet the rising storm. The elec- tion of Carlisle made Blaine impossible. “I look beyond Blaine,“ said he, and see the figure of the man on horseback. Grant becomes the irresistible logic of this situation. He will be nominated and elected, and having violated the third term tradition to beat back the forces of destruction, we will be face to face with the Empire.” As to the past Mr. McClure is both en- tertaining and truthful. As to the future he is entertaining. REMOVE THE GARBAGE. The Post-Dispatch is receiving com- plaints that the garbage is not being re- moved as promptly as it should be in certain parts of the city. It is nothing less than criminal to allow negligence in this respect during such weather as we are having. It is also said that the city can't spare ‘the money” for the daily removal of what is known_as “commercial garbage” in the down-town district. Such daily removal has been ordered by the Board of Health, but the City Council is of the opinion that we cannot afford it. This is penny wise and pound foolish policy. If daily removals of garbage are necessary in other parts of the city, they are doubly necessary on the river front and in the busi- ness district. Especially are they necessary while this heated spell con- tinues, when putrefaction takes place rapidly and epidemics are to be feared. | If the city should be visited by an epidemic, or even if the death rate should be increased by this parsimonious policy, the cost to the city in money and misery would have been dearly bought. — 2 22 -___—_ The great Democratic party will give little attention to the squeal of unrea- sonable bolters, who would ruin it if they 8 because they have not been allowed to have their way.

OO Or —-—-V—-—— — The Dishonest Treasury. From the Washington Post. True, it is declared to be the policy of our Government to keep gold and silver at a parity, and this policy has thus far been maintained. But that declaration of policy has never been understood as a command to the Administration to pay a coin demand in gold. It was understood, when Secretary John Sherman began the great work of his life, the resumption of specie payments, that it was optional with him to meet calls for specie with either gold or silver. It was the general understanding, too, that the large number of newly coined silver dollars then in the Treasury were a great helper to Mr. Sherman in the beginning and prosecution of his undertaking. From that time to this, in spite of the declara- tion as to the parity policy of our Govern- ment, it has always been understoad that the Treasury had the option to pay a coin obligation in either or in beth of the legal tender money metals. | Our Oriental Guest.

WOMEN OF NOTE. The wife of Thomas E. Watson was Miss Durham, thé daughter of a business man of McDuffie County, Ga. She is 39 years old, and is noted for her cheerful disposi- tion and winning manners. Mr. and Mrs. Watson have two children, Agnes, 13 years old, and Durham, who is 12. Rosella Babcock, a strong girl of 15, is an important factor in the mail service at Pal- masola, Fla. Twice every week day, wind or calm, rain or shine, she rows a mile to deliver the mail to the river boat Tarpon. On the $20 per month that she earns by this work she supports a mother and a younger sister. Miss Ella Collins, daughter of a New York tailor, will be the first woman of the United States raised to a throne by marriage. She will shortly become the wife of Col. John F. Hoobs, who under the name of Oumalea reigns over tne semi-barbarous people of the Jilka Islands, in the New Hebrides group. Miss Dorothea Klumpke, the well-known astronomer has been invited to accompany the British expedition which proceeds shortly to Norway in order to observe the eclipse of the sun, which takes place on Aug. 9. Miss Klumpke, who is a little over 30 years of age, is a native of California. She carried off the prize of 5,000 franos of- fered by the Paris Observaiory for a treatise on comets when she was hardly out of her teens. Frances Raymond, the actress, whose real name is Miss Martha Shaffer, has com- menced an action for $50,000 damages against Franklin Raymond Wallace, for- merly of New York, but now a resident of Helena, Mont., for breach of promise.

All this is vigor- ously combated by the old gentleman, who says George is not his son, but was his office boy only. Family Precautions. From the New York Press. A citizen of wealth and brains has at- tracted attention to himself by never be- ing seen in the society of his sons in any public place. If he goes to the opera to- night, say, he will not remain there should his son happen to be there, He is a most devoted father, and keeps his family always divided, so that in case of accid@t ell will not be wiped out. Uncle Abram Hewitt does pretty much the same thing. . When his family go to Europe for the summer they sail on different steamers, meeting on the other side. If one steamer should g0 down part only of the Hewitt flock would be lost. The Wormsers never rode on the same train. The brothers left their office together at the same hour day after day and walked to the Rector street station of the elevated road, where they separated, one taking the first train that came along, the other the second. At their destination they would meet again. ——_ A New York Bank’s Bluff. From the Kansas City Times. City Treasurer Green received @ letter last week from the assistant cashier of the National Bank of the Republic of New York City, in which it was stated that the bank was compelled to go into the open mar- ket and buy gold for a holder of the cou- pons on water-works bonds. The principal and interest of the city’s water-works bonds are payable in gold, and the holder in ques- tion, to whom $500 was due, demanded the gold. As there was $69,700 paid on the same account at the same time, and this was the only demand for gold, the wall about the rush for the yellow metal sinks into insignificance. The other bondholders, who received $69,200, made no mention of the gold clause, and acepted the good legal tender of the United States without ques- tion. A Sham Reformer. From the New York. Recorder. Secretary Hoke Smith is paying the pen- alty for having gone back to his first love for Bryan and free silver.

Jannopoula’s Suburban Summer Gar- den, at Wells Station, was the scene ofa brutal and apparently unprovoked assault by some of the employes upon a patron, about 1040 Thursday night, that precipi- tated a riot. Otto Voelker, a St. Louis business man, Was jerked from a car by the park police, beaten with a club until covered with blood, and then taken to Florissant, Mo., under arrest. Over 100 persons witnessed the assault, and in an instant, the well-dressed pleasure- seeking crowd, was transformed into a maddened, l mob, bent upon res- culng the victim a policeman’s 1 ooked. for a time as though a bloody fight would ensue, es an angry crowd of at awe 100 persons rushed toward the garden police. The cries of the police to ‘‘stand back!“ the whirling of their loaded canes and clubs, and the probability of revolvers being used by the officers awed the crowd, and those in front recoiled on the crowd in the rear. Still the police had difficulty in restrain- ing the crowd, enraged at the sight of a citizen, separated from them only by a light picket fence, being clubbed by the park police. His cries for help were pitiful, and but for the weeping, hysterical, half-fainting wo- men, who clung to. their escorts, the po- lice might have been 6Verpowered and the prisoner rescued. ; After the prisoner had been beaten to the eatisfaction of the police, he was placed in @ guard-house inside the inclosure, around which the Suburban tracks run, and a man named Henson, who was clothed in the arb of a sergeant of police, stood before the hted doorway, guarding the man inside, who was then evidently too weak to make any effort to escape. Almost every person at the garden had seen the prisoner at some time, and all said rominent in business and po- but in the excitement no- ody appear@d to be able to remember his mame, though many said he was an ex- member of the House of Delegates. The police declared that they did not know the man, and refused to allow any one to enter the inclosure to glean information. They said it didn’t make “a —— bit of dif- ference if he was the President of the United States.“ A Post-Dispatch reporter sought admit- tance, but a park policeman who looked like a Corsican pirate refused to allow him to enter, and learning that he was a newspaper man, declared that he had better clear out pretty quick,”’ if he was writin’ for any new r, for if he once got inside there, it was 10 to 1 he’d never come out again. They didn’t like newspapers, nohow. e was circle —— two young men who had been circulating through the crowd, which was still at fever heat, declared to the police that they were going in or “bust.” They Were going on the prisoner’s bond, they said, and there were only two policemen hen outside, if they attempted to prevent hem, the whole crowd would take a hand. 2 — 4 were then allowed to enter. They remained inside a few moments, and when they returaed were the center of attraction. ey gave out the first authentic informa- tion regarding the prisoner’s name, al- though it had been an hour since he was first assaulted. He is at the head of the commission firm of 1 oelker & Co. of 916 North Third Although everybody had seen Voelker clubbed, they could not tell the extent of hie injuries, nor where he had been struck. The young men stated that Voelker had been beaton in the face, breast and stomach, ne also received several blows on the ands. His shirt and light crash suit were soaked with blood and he was suffering great pain. He was determined that the Suburban pro- a and their employes should suffer This sentiment was heartily cheered by the crowd, and the young men were given an ovation when they declared their inten- tion of accompanying Voelker to Florissant and bail him out. ds were thrust into pockets and wal- lets withdrawn by many, who said if the young fellows did not have enough money to get him out they would be glad to con- tribute. Even watches were detached from c and offered, but refused. Voelker’s offence appears to have been an attempt to board the car as it rounded the curve in order to secure a seat. Although no rules or regulations are posted for the public eye, it seems to be one of the strict- t les of the Suburban that no person . be allowed to board a car until it com to e full stop. It is noticeable to Beene who reside at other points on this ne that they must board it before it stops or get left behind. Several persons, amon two men mentioned, and Voelker, attempted to II the car before it stopped. The condu stands on the lower step with his back turned to whom were the revent this.

THIRTY-FIVE MILES AN HOUR Was Easy for the Great Cyclist—Want- ed to Ride at the Rate of Fifty Miles an Hour—Sporting News. N W. Anderson, the Roodhouse tailor lad, who for the past three years has been familiar to racing cyclists as “Mary,” a pacemaker on last year’s Morgan & Wright team, but now famous all the over Ww as the “mile a minute” cyclist, 5. the first test of the much talked of lo motive pacing yesterday. It préved a complete suc- cess and thoroughly demonstratec that as @ pacemaker a locomotive cannot be equaled. The extreme limit of speed at which a rider can hold the pace was, how- ever, not determined. That will be tried later n on. The trial took place yesterday afternoon on the une — — of the Bluff Line near the little hamlet of Oldenburg, III., about twelve miles from St. uls. The board k was not quite finished, owlng to a delay in the arrival of the lum- ber. The Bluff Line was not responsible for this. However, when Anderson and his party reached Oldenburg they found car- enters hard at work laying the track. By 30 p. m. a full mile, or about half the track, was laid. Although he could only ride a quarter safety, Anderson de- termined to try it, just for the experience it would give him, So he ordered his pace- maker ta get ready. The train was in charge of Engineer Ed Dherly, Conductor C. H. Boone and Fire- man James Adams, all of Springfield, and consisted of engine No. 7 and one coach. It came out upon the main track at 5:26. Half a dosen reporters and about as many officials of the road climbed on. ride them a It The first trip was made to see how quickly the engine could stop going at the rate of | 60 miles an hour. r. Pberly pulled the throttle open, and in a quarter of a mile the speed indicater showed a speed of 57 miles. Then she shut off and applied the | brakes, | The train stopped in another quarter. | The test was satisfactory to everyone but Mr. Buckner, Anderson’s trainer. Buckner mounted Anderson’s wheel and tried to fol- low the train. He was shaken in two Jumps, but to him belongs the honor of being the first man to follow a locomotive pacer. | Then the train went back and Anderson | got ready. He told the engineer to hit up 2 gait of twenty-five miles an hour. This | was done, and “Andy” followed it steadily | and without apparent effort. To the little group on the rear platform the train ap- | peared to be moving very fast. Anderson rode so well, so close and so true that they were greatly encouraged. He followed the center of the track and did not appear to deviate more than a few inches from his chalk line. After he had ridden a quarter Anderson back pedaled to see how it felt to get out of the draught of air which followed the train. He found that two corkscrew currents made it a matter of some trouble, — — TWO MATCH RACES. Stearns Team vs. Morgan & Wright— Four Crack Amateurs. Match races between cyclists are getting to be the thing in St. Louis, * The latest match is one between the Stearns professional team, composed of E. E. Anderson and Ernest Stadte, and the local Morgan & Wright men, Will and Jack Coburn, At the late tournament, held at De Hodia- mont, Andersor broke the one-third mile State record. Jack Coburn, who was on the grounds, wanted to steal Andy's“ thunder, £0 he sailed in and tried to get it away from him before it was cold. He Vand fh e Anderson Jollied'“ him about it, and resukt of their badinage was that the burns challenged Anderson and Stadte to team race of one mile. The challenge was gocepted, and the race will os — ace on the occasion of the lamond Tourfement, August 22. On the same date it is proposed to hold a four-cornered match race between Bert Harding, Fred Hattersley, Joe Howard and Lou Coburn. These men compose the crack amateur quartette of the city. They have raced against each other time and again with varying success, and it is now proposed to | bring them together in an invitation race to decide who is the best man. All four of them have agreed to race. CHRIS KICKED, . But Young Decreed That the Games Be Played in*Cincinnati. That transfer of two games from St. Louis to Cincinnati has brought to light some of the funny things that sometimes sight, but the poupte quarreled and the actress apparently happen among League magnates. As the transfer would save the Browns about 600 miles of travel, Mr. Von der Ahe some time ago proposed to President Brush of Cincinnati that the games be transferred. Brush was willing, and after considerable trouble with Baltimore the consent of the other 10 clubs was received to the change. President Von der Ahe was pleased, as he thought that the change would not enly save him railroad fare, but that as Cincin- nati was crazy over the Reds it would bring him big money at the gate. Last Sunday the Browns played to less than 7,000 people in the home of old “Stop- over” Weldon. Now St. Louis has a tail- end team, and Cincinnati an alleged pen- nant winner, but St. Louls can beat 7,000 people ony 8 in the year. When Chris u ved his share of the re- ceipts he was sore. He then wired Brush that he would not play the transferred games in Cincinnati. He wanted the Reds to come here and get a decent piece of St. Louis money. Brush refused, and Nick Young was ap- pealed to. He decided that the consent of all the clubs would be necessary to have the games re-scheduled for St. Louis. So unless Chris can get this done the Browns must play in Cincinnati next Sunday and Monday. CENTURY CHANGES. Rodgers Resigned the Captaincy— Pierce Elected in His Stead.

THE CITY FOOTS THE BILL. —— Work-House Prisoners Taken From Public Work to Save Expense to the Thrifty Superintendent. ‘Work-house convicts are being used by Superintendent Nick Karr of that institu- tion to improve hie private property. The danger of prisoners escaping while at work on a private house is great and it is stated that two.prisoners did escape last week while at work on Mr. Karr’s prop- erty. The two escapes did not put a stop to Work-house prisoners being used by Mr. Karr for his own purposes. One of the escaping prisoners ran into the arms of Louis Miller, who is Nick Karr’s cousin, and lives a few doors from where the Work-house gang is laboring for Karr. The other was captured the same evening at Second and Poplar streets. Mr. K not inform the public of the escape.

THREATENING LETTER TO MIB- SOURI PACIFIC EMPLOYES. SIGNED BY TREASURER SMITH. Railroad Men Told That Free Coinage of Silver Means Fifty Per Cent Cut in Wages. As the Post-Dispatch has already pre- dicted, the efforts of the Missouri Pacific arr did | Railway Co. to coerce its employes into ity that | declaring their unwilling allegiance to Me- come from the Work-house, it is painful to Kinley and the single gold standard have think what —1— to the wretches after their recapture for taking advantage of the opportunky for escape, so freely furnished by Mr. Karr. Superintendent Karr was one of the suf- ferers from the tornado of May 27. The house he occupies rent free in the Work- house grounds, which is city propery, was not damaged by the wind. He owns a two-story brick dwelling at 2638 Ann avenue, however, which was dis- mantled. The house next door, No. 264, is a counter- part of Mr. Karr’s house, It ls owned by aman named Niemeyer. Mr. Karr delayed some time before com- mencing the repair of his residence, So did Mr. Niemeyer. Abouf two weeks ago Karr began work on his residence. The repairs on Mr. Niemeyer’s property began about the same time. The ordina citizen whose house has been unroofed, the walls damaged and plastering demolished, usually finds it necessary to employ several contractors to eee the damage. hese in turn employ union labor to do the work. Not so with Mr. Karr of the Work-house. In a crowded institution such as Karr superintends there are prisoners represent- ing numerous trades, There are carpenters, bricklayers, stonecutters and all the rest. Sent to the Workhouse for petty offenses they are supposed to pay the fines imposed 4 the Police Court by laboring for the city, o long as Mr. Karr has nothing of his own for them to do, they de work for the city and work hard. When Mr. Karr’s property needs repairs he finds what he regards as better employ- ment for them. Accordingly, when repairs were com menced on Mr. Karr’s house on Ann ave- nue, money for Mr. Karr. With desperate prisoners awa safeguards of the Workhouse it is neces- sary that they be watched to prevent es- capes and revolts. So Jake Karr, son of the Superintendent, a regular guard employed by the city, on duty at the Work-house, was taken from his post and stationed at Mr. Karr’s private residence. Armed with a revolver he has kept his vigil there ever since. Work on Mr. Karr’s property has pro- gressed very rapidly. That on Mr. le- meyer's house has been about as progres- sive. The work on the two houses is very similar. Besides the convicts from the Work-house Mr. Karr has been using the city’s carts and teams. They are driven by trusties,“ and have been employed to move dirt from and stone to the house. The stone ig to be used for a foundation for a fence around the front yard. Last week, while Jake Karr's attention was diverted two of the prisoners walked 1 ; failed in their results. Out of the forty-nine employes in cne de- partment of the Missouri Pacific offices at Seventh and Poplar streets, forty-seven have declared themselves to be out and out in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and, above all, the free and un- restricted right to vote as they please, whether employed by a corporation or not. The efforts of the corporations are, how- ever. untiring and every kind of veiled threat possible is being used against the wage workers. Mr. D. 8S. H. Smith, the local treasurer of the Missouri Pacific and the Iron Mountain, is engaged in circulating campers litera- ture amo the wage earners e pay of the road. ach one of these has in the past few days received a large envelope contain- ing a copy of Carlisle’s speech, and the fol- lowing note, which tells its own tale: ST. LOUIS, Mo., Ang. % Dear Sir: I enclose Mr. Carlsies speech to workingmen, delivered in Chicago, April It is a clear and straightforward expo- sition of how the free coinage of silver would affect men who work for wages or salaries. Where all is so good, it is dif- ficult to select portions for special] consid- eration, but I invite your attention to those portions which I have marked with a blue pencil. Free coinage of silver wae 4 means a cut in wages of 50 per cent. e would all be paid in silver dollars, and each one of these dollars would have only one-half the pur- chasing power of a dollar under the present gold standard. I don’t want to see such a condition of affairs, and I don’t believe that you do. you agree with me. I would be obliged if you some of the men from the Work- would send me such names as occur to you house were taken to the place to save of temperate, level-headed and thoughtful men among wage-earners who would read from the Mr. Carlisle’s speech and would dissemi- nate its teachings among their friends and associates. I would be very glad to send them copies of the document. ours truly, D. 8. H. SMITH. The speech is marked in various places where especial reference is made to the ef- fct of free coinage upon the wages of work- ing men, etc. mployes of the road say that a letter from Treasurer Smith is equivale to a rsonal letter from George Goul President of the Missouri Pacific. Mr. Smi has been a confidential representative of the Goulds for many years, and in addition to being resident treasurer for both the Mis- sourl Pacific and Iron Mountain railways, he is the ld 1 in the Com- mercial Nawonal Bank. He has charge of all the finances of the Goulds in St. Louis, and is paymaster for all employes of the en- tire Gould system. Consequently when Mr. Smith sends a letter to one of Mr. Gould’s employes it means something.

LANSING, Mich., Aug. 7.—The Ingham County Savings Bank did not open its doors for business this morning.

THEIR OFFICERS RE-ELECTED. Fr. Phelan in a Speech Advises Cath- colic Women to Imitate Sal- vation Army Lassies. The convention of the Catholic Total Ab- stinence Union concluded its labors Friday noon and adjourned sine die. The most im- portant business transacted during the day was the election of officers, All the old offi- cers were unanimously re-elected without a contest except in the case of First Vice- President J. ash Logue, who met with a fight on the part of Kansas City de tes. Their choice was Fr. James T. Walsh of that city. The balloting showed 420 votes for Logue and 131 for Walsh, . Logue’s elec- tion was then made unanimous. ollowing are the names of the re-elected officers: Rev. James M. Cleary of Minneap- olis, President; J. Wash Logu irst Vice- F. Brennan, ew Haves, Conn., ond Vice- sident; Mrs. L. M. Lake, St. Louis, Third Vice-President; Rev. Wm. McMahon, Cleveland, Treasurer; Rev. A. P. Doyle, New York, Secretary. A telegram was read by Secretary Doyle from the Father Mathew Total Abstinence ) Union of Muskegon, Mich., conveying the greetings of that association. A telegram was alsa read from the Business Men's As- sociation of Springfield, III., inviting the Union to hold its next annual convention there. 7 A communtcation was read from Hon. Hiram Price, President of the American Anti-Saloon League, inyiting the Union to arrange for a full representation by ten delegates, with alternates, in the National Anti-Saloon Convention to be held in Wash- ington, Dec. 8 to 10. A resolution accepting the invitation was adopted, and the following delegates were appointed by the Chair upon suggestions received from all parts of the house: Right Rev. the Catholic Uaiversyy, Rev. J. J. Carrigan, VI University, Washington, D. C.; Rev. Fr. Munday, Cambridgeport, Mass.; Rev. Fr. O’Brien, Fremont, O.; Rev. Fr. Ross, Chil- licothe, O,: J. Wash Logue, Philadelphia; rf McBheehy, Fremont, O.; Mr. Downey, Washington, D. C.: Mrs. Kelly, St. Paul, Minn.; Miss McDonald, Pittsburg. Fr. Coffee, Mrs. Lake, Eugene Devine, all of this city, were appointed Syerates to the W. C. T. U. Convention to be held in St. Louis in November. Mrs. Kelly of St. Paul, Minn. and Mrs. Lake of St. Louis were appointed delegates to the Keeley League Convention to be held at Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 18, 19, 20. The newly elected officers sherewpoe mounted the platform and publicly pledge themselves to faithfully protect, maintain and support the Constitution of the Union, and al laws made in pursuance thereof, and subscribed to the total abstinence pledge. The members of the convention then rose and renewed their total abstinence pledge, Fr. Byrne of St. Louis leading. On motion of Fr. Maddox of Winona, Minn., seconded by B. E. Lynch of Connec- ticut, a vote of thanks was tendered the Knights of Father Mathew and the temper- ance ladies of St. Louis for the excellent entertainment they had furnished the dele- gates. On motion of Mr. McLaughlin of Scran- ton, Pa., who raised a laugh by saying that he could not conscientiously go home with- out making some sort of motion, a vote of thanks was tendered the members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Knights of Father Mathew. James F. McDonald of Kansas City ad- dressed the convention, soliciting aid for a building to be erected in that city, devoted to the cause of temperance and to be used as a pleasant and wholesome resort for young men. Fr. Phelan of St. Loule was unanimously called on for a speech and took the stand, urging the Union to adopt some practical — of redeeming ‘the intemperate. To llustrate his meaning he told the follow- W story: ot long ago a Catholic priest came to the bedside of a dying Catholic girl. She was surrounded by Salvation Army women. He asked if she desired to make confession. She answered No.“ He asked her if she wished to receive the sacrament. ain she answered No.“ urprised that a Catholic girl ghould reject the sacrament, the priest inquired the reason. She turned upon him in anger. said she, — pet, — to when Was leading a life ~ me? “Why did you not rescue me then? These good women came when I was in the mire of degradation and lifted me oP and took me to their hearts. If their ministrations were good enough for me then they are good enough for me now. If their ae were good enough to teach me how to live they are enough to teach me how to die.“ e reverend speaker's 8 was regained with a pro- found hush. He urged Catholic ladies who knew how to talk to organize themselves into bands like the Salvation Army and go out and redeem the unfortunate by | pleading with them and surrounding them with better influences. The suggestion was applauded. After adjougmment there was a general exchange of adieux.

A Committee of Housewives Tell the Mayor That He Can and Must Abate Nuisances. P — — Mayor Walbridge has become used to committees of indignant South St. Louis- ans calling upon him and demanding that he give them some relief from the unwhole- some ganitary conditions that exist in that section, and his stereotyped reply, I'll do all in my power for you, gentlemen,” has been all the committee ever received. The women of South St. Louis have con- cluded that their men are no good, and too easily jollied by the Mayor. They are going to take a hand in affairs, and they made a beginning Friday morn- ing that convinced the Mayor of the fact. Mrs. Anna Schmidt, President of the South St. Louis Anti-Nuisance Society, with eight other portly, gray-haired mat- rons, waited on the Mayor and told him afresh about the Intolerable state of affairs down in their neighborhood. Then the Mayor courteously said: “I’m going to do all in my power for you, ladies.” Tes. ves, broke forth three or four of the committee. That's exactly what you've told our men for two years about Ed Butler’s stink factory on Gasconade street. “What do you mean by your power? Is it to talk and never do anything? All we've got is stuck down there in that neighbor- hood, We are raising our children in an J. J. Keane, D.

This warm weather and the stench that Butler is pouring into our nostrils are unbearable. | “You are the Mayor of this town. We have got a right to come here and com- plain and to demand that this abominable nuisance be abated.” Well, well, ladies, I'm glad to have met you. I will be glad to do all for you within my power. I shall call the attention of the City Attorney to this thing at once. Yow are entitled to relief and if it is in my power you shall have it.” “The way is simple enough,“ spoke up a |fine-looking German matron. “There isn’t a civilized city on earth where the health of people would be allowed to be imperiled | by such a nuisance as we complain of. | Talk about power. What are the police for? | What do we pay taxes for to sustain them and a board of health? “I just tell you, Mr. Mayor, something has got to be done about this nuisance that Ed Butler is growing rich out of, and if it isn't done pretty quickly the outraged people down there are liable to demolish the whole plant.“ “I’m going to do all in my power,“ ob- served the Mayor, as he turned the matrons LOST HIS FACE. Michael Shea Horribly Injured by Falling Timber While Wrecking an Olive Street Building. Michael Shea, a laborer 21 years old, re- siding at 2602 Howard street, while assisting in wrecking a building on Olive, between Third and Fourth streets, met with a most painful mishap Friday morning. Shea was standing alongside the wooden slot through which the brick from the upper walls were being slid down, when one of the planks of the slot slipped and came down with a rush, striking him in the face. The blow tore away half of his nose and a big slice off his right cheek, Shea sank to the ground and nearly bled to death before he reached the Dispensary. Dr. Lippe spent nearly half an hour patching him up, and sent him away with a neatly repaired face. SHE’S IN CHICAGO. Myrtle Gillette, Who Was Mixed Up With J. B. Tucker.

The ‘‘Commercial Astrologer’? who makes month- ly predictions as te the course of wheat, telle about wheat for Aug. as follows: 1 think August will open with a weak ering: 3 market, and wheat is likely to be soft till the 4th, but on break on that date I would buy, as from 4th me cing, for the planet Mer cted by parallel of Saturn at this time, an sorts ot eacherous rumors will come over the wires. e lith and 12th may be firmer. They look rather excited day«; if the market is stron = erate the ‘bull’ side till 18th, but watch it ches and close out quickly if it weak as llth and 15th look quite like a slump. From 16th to 2ist I look for an a@vance and advise buying on every little concession during this period. The 22d looks weaker, as dogs the early n ob Mon- day, 24th, out buy om any break at that time, as 25th looks firmer, and the market may — before close on 24th. and in a general wer will be frm till 27th or morning of 28th, it is likely to close weaker on 28th, and on th, nor can I see much improvement I* wil! be seen that he consid- => far in his predictions.

The ‘Winnipeg Commercial of Aug. 3 says crop reports are somewhat improved over those of two or three weeks before. me very fine crops are in some districts of Manitoba and in other sec- tions will only average a small yield. Reports from West Virginia indicate almost complete destruction of wheat and oats by in- cessant rains. Much of the wheat cut and put in the stack in northern portions, but rains caused much of it to sprout. Producers will burn their Oats and wheat crops in the Panhandle rather than harvest them.

He Runs a Saloon and Wine Room and She Has Quiet Apart- ments Upstairs. The story which follows, is not like that which is told of the Hon. James H. Cron- in’s thirst palace and ass‘gnation house, nor of the Hon. Joseph Daneri’s tough wine room for drunken scarlet women, nor of the open flaunting evils at the Hotel Pearl and Hotel Phoenix of Mme. Pearl Dumont. It differs from them in that the cr-mes against morality and law which are here disclosed are in some degree removed from the brutishness of the brothel and the brazen effrontery of vice run rampant with a pull. The evils disclosed are possibly more dan- gerous to a community in that they are more alluring to those just embarking upon ita stormy seas, but they at least have the merit of an effort at secrecy. ° There is no place more calculated to tempt young women from the paths of virtue than Arado’s saloon, at the corner of Thirteenth and St. Charles streets. Its location, the quiet, orderly air about it, its wealth of luxury in appointments and the yawning assignation rooms above it all combine to make it particularly dangerous to those about whom it is necessary to throw the reatest safeguards to prevent their down- all, . The building in which the saloon is situ- ated is in the choicest kind of a place for secret amours. The corner of St. Charles and Thirteenth streets is dark and little frequented, although perfectly safe. There is a seclusion about it inviting to those who fear the gaze of honest eyes. The Exposition building, with its long, dark walis, faces it across St. Charles street, on the west side of Thirteenth. Across, on the diagonally opposite corner, is the big factory building of the Liggett & Myer’s Tobacco Co., always deserted at night. Men und women can slip in and out and no one be the wiser, unless the strictest watch is kept. The building is a three-story brick, once a fashionable residence. The saloon is in the corner. It is quite small, but hand- somely appointed. At the first glance one would imagine it eminently respectable for A place of the character. ut at the east end of the bar, near the entrance to the saloon, there is a short flight of steps, possibly four. At the top is a door leading into the rest of the building. It opens on a hall, across which is a large room, with tables and chairs. At night it is always brilliantly lighted. This is the wine room. It ay be reached in three ways. A man may slip into it from the saloon up the short stairway, or, if he objects to the at- mosphere of the barroom, he may take the tone steps leading up from the street into the main entrance to the house. he wine room is just to the right as you go in. Probably it was the parlor when the building was used for family purposes. If a gentleman has a companion of the female persuasion with him, who prefers take chances on so public an en- trance, there is still another means. Next to the house on the north is a vac- ant lot. It is now used for advertising urposes. A high bulletin board has been ullt along the Thirteenth street front. It is covered with brilliant signs. In the center of it is a door.’ In the sum- mer time this door always swings open. Through this a couple may dodge from the street into almost total darkness. Once inside, the lights from the wine room appear shining through the half opened shutters) There.is a side door leading into the wine- room and once in here one may do as his own sweet will dictates free from th pry- ing eyes of the public. This saloon is a great resort for couples who desire privacy and are willing to pay for it. It is so Frenchy in its air. It is so quiet and unobtrusive. There is never a noisy gang at the bar. The bartender is uncommunicative. He mixes his drinks in a business-like way, and invites no confidences. There are no chairs anywhere to be seen in the barroom. No berthsrfor habitues. This is not the trade it caters to. Sport- tvely inclined ladies and gentlemen with reputations to lose do not like a crowd hang- ing around, clinking glasses and laughing over risque stories. It destroys the harmony of the evening and increases the chances of their escapades becoming public. Therefore, on this account, is the place 80 popular in its quiet, unobtrusive way, on couples who love not wisely, but too well. Up-stairs in this resort are some beau- tifully furnished rooms—two floors of them. They are very convenient to the wine- room. The staircase leads from the hall, Starting just opposite the wine-room door. These are assignation rooms, run by a Mrs. McCann, who, prior to the forcing of immoral women from the neighborhood around Thirteenth and Pine streets, was the proprietress of a brothel in that district. he is an intelligent woman, with a de- sire to succeed in her business,“ and hence has taken the method surest to at- tract to her place those most willing and able to pay for the accommodations she has to ee rado has nothing to do wit ement of this place Like Mr. Ghie e Messrs.

His Ex-Wife Said That They Were En- gaged to Remarry. Mrs. Mary Kanner requested the Coroner to surrender to her the effects of Ferdi- nand Frey, who committed @uicide at 1529 Papin street, June 8, by taking carbolic acid. When asked what relation she bore to the dead man she said that she had been his wife, but whe got a divorce from him ten years ago because he drank, and was en- gaged to be married to him again. She was told that she could not have Frey’s effects and she wept bitterly. She said that after she got the divorce she mar- ried Mr. Kanner of Peoria, Ill. He died last year and her thoughts turned to Frey. They decided to remarry on her return from a trip to Europe, but Frey was dead when she got Kk. Big Four to Cincinnati. Leave St. Louis, 8:2 p. m.

Koch, a druggist at 4801 Flor- issant avenue gets within arm's reach of a certain young German, he will sweep Water Tower Hill with dim. Koch has been made the victim shrewd game for which he cannot punish the perpetrator according to the legal ideas of the Police Department, and hence he has decided to be judge, jury and execution- er when he gets the opportunity. Koch’s complaint is that a young man has visited all his customers. about the Water Tower and has sold them $150 worth of linen goods on the representation that he was of good family in ‘straightened cir- cumstances and had been sent by Mr. Koch. He said that his father was a wealthy linen merchant in Germany and sent him to the United States with costly presents of rich stuffs for East St. Louis relatives. The latter were “cycloned,’”’ the young man said, and he saved the high- priced linens and was selling them to make a living.. Whenever a lady refused to buy any of his linen he became offensively persistent and urged that Mr. Koch said she needed just those articles. This line of argument caused some of Koch's customers to leave him until he explained to them that the man was a fraud. At the request of the druggist, the police have been scouring Water Tower hill for the linen merchant in the hope of being able to prosecute him for peddling without a license. He has eluded them, although a carpet seller fell into their hands. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for children teething rests the child and comforts the mother. 25c. PARKINSOWSEEKS A DIVORCE.

Vernie Hawker, the favorite son of a well- i to-do fan.ily cf Hunnewell, Shelby County, Mo., was dragged away from his weeping bride Thursday. by Detectives and taken to Shelby County to answer the charge of stealing a drove of cattle from Orr Bros. and selling them in Chicago for $6500. Last Wednesday Hawker and Pearl Me- Glothlins were married and th were en- joying their honeymoon at 201 Brooklyn street when the detectives made their ap- pearance. The young wife wept bitterly when her husband was taken away. Hawker came to St. Louis from Chicago and took board with a family named Kelly, at the Brooklyn street number. There he met Pearl McGlothlins, sister of the wife of one of the young Kellys, and fell desperately in love with her. Their mar- riage and cruel separation followed. WOES OF A HOUSEKEEPER.
