PRICE FIVE CENTS. sa Oo Men and Women, Girls and Boys in the “Wants” Find Many JO ND RELIGION BELLEVILLE OFFICIALS INSULT THE AMERICAN FLAG. UNIQUE STATE OF AFFAIRS. Mayor and Chief of Police Openly in League With Hoodlums and Anarchists. The Salvation Army situation in Belle- ville has reached that stage where it is a month ago, when the demonstrations began again and resulted in the American flag being once more torn down and some of the soldiers being disgracefully misused. This time, however, the rioting has con- tinued for a longer time than before, and there is apparently no end in sight until interference from outside authorities forces the men responsible for the trouble to do their duty. The responsibility for the present state of affairs rests solely with the municipal gov- | ernment. Belleville is a peculiar place. A great many-of its people are beer drinkers. They keep their saloons open on Sunday with- out interference. Public opinion sanctions this. This makes the saloon following very large. The Salvation Army has preached against the saloons at least in an indirect way and the knights of the beer vats have taken up the cudgel in resentment. This, no longer a question as to whether the |in conjunction with the element that is op- methods of this organization are proper or whether their presence in that city should be encouraged. It has gone beyond this. There has been forced into it a far more serious phase, gtriking in its own small way at the funda- mental principles of the American Govern- ment. Above all the rioting on the public square of this pretty little town, above the annoy- ance to private citizens and injustice to the Army; above any other issue which the presence of these unique soldiers of the cross present, there rises the question as to whether in an American city, governed under the laws and constitution of the United States, the rights of free speech and religious liberty guaranteed by that constitution shall prevail, or whether a mob, backed by municipal administration cringing for votes shall ride over them rough-shod. The men who have taken up the battle for this persecuted organization have not done s0 because they believe in its methods, nor because they desire the presence of the army in their midst, but because of the great principles at stake and the dangers consequent upon thejr throttling. There is no longer at Issue the question of the Salvation Army’s rights, but the rights of all American citizens regardless of creed or color. This is why the situation In Belleville is more serious than it was. That element in the community which believes in the en- forcement of the law without fear or favor and in the protection of citizens regardless of their station in life or of their religious belief, is slowly rising to a determination to stand by their guns regardless of cost. Pressure from outside sources is being brought to bear upon the authorities, men from neighboring towns have become roused and gone to Belleville to look into the situa- tion, and It ig intimated that within a few days the authorities of the State will inter- fere in behalf of the unprotected. Belleville is a peculiar town. It contains about 18,000 people, the major- tity of whom ere Germans, and their chil- dren. The old American stock has been overwhelmed by the Teutons, who are in absolute control of the city government. The people under ordinary circumstances are plain and orderly. They work hard, pave their money and are fairly gres- sive. They have electric street ca tele- phones, vitrified brick pavements and\ ll of the appurtenances ofa modern city. | The public square is the center of the town. There all the street cars cross or come to the end of their runs. The Court- house flanks one sidé, and saloons ang stores the others. In the evenings all e town goes to the square and walks up and Gown or stands around and talks about it- self. There it is that the boys meet the girls and fix up their Sunday dates. It is there that the politicians meet and discuss the affairs of the nation. The Court-house steps are especially adapted for meeting purposes, being wide and high, flanked on each side by huge blocks of stone which rise four or five feet higher than the steps. All kinds of saloons are handy and one tan get any kind of drink by simply step- ping off the square into one of the resorts. In the saloons can be found the Mayor, the Chief of Police or any of the Council- men. They meet there as they would at any other social club. The town has no parks and for years it has been the custom for all to go to the square between work time and bed time. It is here that all the riots have taken place. The Salvation Army barracks are on South Church street, just off the square, and, as in other cities, they march to the open places where the crowds are to hold thelr services. The Salvation Army first went to Belle- ville about a year ago. At first it was in charge of Capt. Mack- ty. He had a wife and one lieutenant, a woman. The captain was a mild-mannered Man, an @x-minister of the gospel, and for & little while he was allowed to live in peace. The whole army comprised but himself, his wife and the one Meutenant. But by and by it began to grow a little and then the trouble came. Meetings were broken up by hoodlums in plain view of the police with only a half-hearted effort on their part to stop it. Matters ran along this way until last April, the trouble breaking out intermit- tently. By this time Mackey had been transf to another city and his place taken by Anderson, a young Swede. Anderson's presence seemed to inflame the rising spirit of opposition which had been growing with the army. He was a vigorous, active fellow, young and enthus- : and he started Tight in to make He was or eames and finally the floting culm DS ey Cama like of — rarely disgraces rican city. American flag was torn down and Wampled upon before « multitude of people. Buch an ecourence could hardly happen Nsewhere without precipita ) but ee ting bloodshed, thone the citizens of Belleville who | the outrage were cowed by the : t and the utter inactivity of the A ae, Ei . posed to the Salvation Army on religious grounds, makes the number of its enemies very large, and of course the really vi- cious element is glad enough to join in for the chance of doing evil. Thus it is that the politicians who hold office have bowed to the popular hatred of the Salvation Army, even if they have not felt it personally. They have deliberately allowed the red- coated soldiers to be beaten and abused. They have arrested and fined them. They —, elare that he has the right to worship ag he wants to?” “But why don’t he be decent about it? Then we would protect him.” | “That is, if he will worship the way you say he Is all right?” “No, no; but he beats the drum too loud, We can’t stand it. The people won't have | yg “Is the Belleville drum any louder than drums in other cities?” “Wo, but they hit it harder. This makes a big difference.” a “Isn't it about the truth the people don’t want the Salvation Army here and are bent on driving them out?’ “The people are opposed to them—yes, that’s right. They don’t want them. Belle- ville is too good a place, We don’t need any Salvation Army here, Let them go where they are wanted.” “Is that why you don’t give them protec- tion?’’ ““We do give them all the protection we can, but we can’t have all the police force day and night guarding a lot of fanatics. The city can’t afford it. We have not the money. There are now 15 men on the force. We would have to put on 15 more to protect those people all the time. “Now, I said this to Capt. Anderson. I told him that if he would come out in the public square on only two evenings in the week, hold short services quietly and then go back to the barracks, why then we would protect him.” “And if he doesn’t follow your instruc- heen | a ->- =e. o.. \\ . ~ \ — AIMS SSK" = ; ft CAPT.

The gentleman who now occupies this office is Fritz Sunkel. Mr. Sunkel runs the town. What he says goes. The Chief of Police is appointed by him, and is afraid ‘to arrest a stray cow until he gets orders from the Mayor. The Mayor is violently opposed to the Salvation Army. He admits it, or rather he brags of it. He has boasted openly to the newspaper men that he would drive the | Salvationists out of town. He did this after the April riots, but they are still] there. A Post-Dispatch man saw the Mayor in his office at Belleville Friday. His honor did not look like an intelligent man, but perhaps this was because he had not been shaved for three days. He speaks English with a marked German accent, but man- ages to make himself understood pretty well The reporter informed him that he had come to see him about the Salvation Army disturbances. Mayor Sunkel immediately began to choke up around the collar. His face grew very red and he spluttered. He denounced everything that had ever been printed about the Salvation Army in any of the St. Louis papers to be malicious- ly false. , Having thus let off steam, he settled back in his chair and resumed his norma) color. “Do you mean to say(” said the reporter, in surprise, “that the Army soldiers have not been abused, their meetings broken up trampled upon?” “Oh, well,” the Mayor answered, shrug- ging his shoulders, ‘‘There may have been a little trouble, but it’s all their own fault. They are just trying to incite the people to abuse them so that they can pose a3 martyrs and get big advertisements in the St. Louis newspapers. They pound their drum so loud and make euch a noise that the people won't stand it.’’ Having thus shifted all the blame on the wicked Salvationists the Mayor proceeded quite good-naturedly: “You see it is this way. The public square is the only place for the people to gather. They all come there at night, young and old, and these people among them. You can’t blame the young people if they have a little fun pushing and shoving. No one can helv that. “It is every bit Capt. Anderson's fault. What is he, anyway? Only a boy 22 years old. What do they want to send such a fellow as that here for? He has no discre- tion, no sense. ' “Last April I sent for him and told him that if he made less noise and was more decent in his services, that the people would let him alone. He mustn't pound the drum so hard. He said he would, and for a time he was, but then he commenced again and the people got angry.” “Haven't-you any laws here that will pro- tect a man and let him worship the way he wishes?" “Yes, but what does he beat the drum‘so for? There is no sense in that.” and the American flag torn down and ‘the American Constitution de- tions in this respect he can go without protection?’’ ‘Yes, sir! He'll have to paddle his own canoe and take care of himself.”’ Here was the spectacle of the Mayor of an American city deliberately proclaiming to the public that he would not protect a religious organization worshiping in the streets of his city because they did not see fit to conduct their services as he saw fit. At the door of Chief of Police Fritz Obst, to a lesser degree, may be laid the respon- “T the interview, but In conversation for pubHeation he does not appear nearly sO bitter as does Mayor Sunkel. He does not call the Salvationists fanatics nor harp on the fesonance of the bass drum. He is @ CoOmedtan, without knowing it, and succeeds in laying down some rules for the guidance of Chiefs of Police in other cities that aré both in- genious and remarkable. The chief was tackt#d by the reporter just outside the City Hall, Hé, too, has a Ger- man accent and a face that would drive Gus Williams’ stage gutteral and make up into a rear geat. “What are you going to do about all this Salvation Army trouble?” he was asked, after the preliminaries were over. “Well, I tell you,” he said. “If the St. Louis newspapers are going to get interest- ed and say so much about it, I think I'll have to protect them. Yes, sir, I think the time has come when I fiust protect them?” This was said with an enfire unconscious- ness of its remarkable. ter. “Now, I’m a funny Man,” the Chief went on. “I’m this kind . and anybody here will tell you th@@ame thing: When I'm in doubt what te do, then I always do my duty. That's the only way to get alons.” The reporter asked @omething about how long since he’d beem in doubt, but the Chief didn’t catcl ft. “Well, don’t you think i!t’s your duty to protect these peopletwhen they are as- saulted?” said the réporter. “That’s what I waa saying,” was the response. “The time has come now for that I think.”’ cick “Are vou able to keep these disturbances down?” : “Oh, yes, yes. Why, when I come around everything is just as still as a pin. You bet I can keep order. You've got no idea how tice and quiet the people are when I come around.” “How about last Tuesday night when the rioters tore down the flax?” “But I was off duty then. At 7 o’clock Igo off. A man miisn’t work all the time, you know.’ e . Then the Chief chewed away on his cigar stump as naively as a young girl biting her finger. : “You're kind of afraid of your job, aren’t you, Chief, if you don’t do as the Mayor says?’ “No, sir, I ain’t afraid ef no job. I do my duty, but, of course, Mayor is my su- perior and I do whatever he says.” ‘“‘You have laws here for the protection of citizens which you are gupposed to en- force?’’ “Yes, we have some laws here, but I tell you, the people here—the liberal minded people—don’t want the Salvation Army here, and I’m going to do what the people want. That’s the way for am officer to do.” This is somewhat im controversion of what the Chief had said ee tee part of Wlate time he had the water on the other shoulder. ‘‘Now I’m liberal,” went on this remark- able chief. “I didn’t lock up that Salva- tion Army girl when she was fined, and the local papers have been after me ever since.’’ * “Didn't she ask you to lock her up after she had been sentenced?” “Yes, but I wouldn’t do it after I found out she was so anxious.” “Do you treat all prisoners that way?’ The answer was a solemn negative, with- out the slightest appreciation of the hu- mor of the situation. The City Council is another factor in the city government which has been fight- ing the Salvation Army and abridging free speech and religious liberty. After the riots last April a meeting of the male members of the Presbyterian Church was beld and a committee ap- pointed to petition the Council for protec- tion for the Salvationists. It was signed S2° Puen of? sibility of the disturbances. While he & in control of the Police Department, the Mayor can chop off his official head whe®- ever he ses fit.

Plans for His Reception Are of the Most Elaborate Char- acter. Spectal te The Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—The President, the Secretary of the Navy and other officials ef the Government are not the only ones who expect to see Li Hung Chang when he visits this country. The representatives of the foreign mission societies of all the Evangelical churches in this city are in | hopes that they may have an opportunity to tell him how they admire his liberal course. The exact arrangements for the meeting between the representatives of the /missionary boards and the Viceroy have of the China-Japan war, has been con. sulted by Dr. Ellinwood. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 15.—The de. tails of Li Hung Chang’s reception’ in the United States will largely be governed by his own wishes, and therefore will not be finally determined until after his ar- rival. “Li Hung Chang, while bearing creden- tials to Russia,"”’ said Acting Secretary Rockhill of the State Department to-day, “has none to the United States and will therefore be received, hot in a diplomatic capacity, but merely as a distinguished Chi- naman. I have met him frequently in China. He is, of course, a statesman of the first rank, otherwise he would not have held so long the position he occupies. His announced programme is for a week’s visit in Washington, though he would hardly stay here that long, unless it be-to rest. The President and Secretary Olney will determine upon the programme to be pur- sued, though it is not yet announced,” At the Chinese Legation the plans for the entertainment of the distinguished states- MARCUS DALY'S GREAT COLT ee DOC TUBERVILLE RODE HIM, The Stake Was Worth $42,390 to the Massie in the Fall Stakes, NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—The great Fu- turity stakes of the Coney Island Jockey Club is over and the ninth renewal has gone into history with an outsider, Ogden, as the winner. ie A better day could not have been de- man are of an elaborate character.

Some timé ago a meeting was held, which was attended by members of the Methodist-Episcopal, Baptist, Congrega- tional, Protestant Episcopal and Re formed churches, to consider the ad- visability of addressing the Viceroy. All were in favor of the plan and the Rev. Dr. F. F. Ellinwood, one of the secretaries of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, was delegated to make the plans and take charge of all the ar- rangements. According to a recent letter received from him he has prepared an address which is to be translated inte Chi- nese and presented to the Viceroy. The address is understood to be an expression of personal.interest in the Viceroy and his work. The meeting will be held at a time and place convenient to Li Hung Chang, and will probably be at his hotel. His wishes will,of course, be consulted, and all of the arrangements be made accordingly. John W. Foster, ex-Secretary of State, who was the confidential adviser of the Emperor at the time of the meeting of the Peace Commissioners after the close of the Legation will be afforded a decorous outlook. OUR HOT SPELL. Chicago Health Commissioner Wants to Know About It. Health Commissioner Starkloff yesterday received a request from Health Commis- sioner William R. Kerr of Chicago, ask- ing for data as to fatalities from sun- stroke during the heated term in St. Louis. The Chicago Commissioner wished to know the mean and maximum temperature, nutnber of deaths, etc. Commissioner Starkloff, in his reply, states: The heated term began July 26; the total number of deaths was 148 up to Aug. 12; the mean temperature was 683.3 and the maximum was 100, which was reached Aug. & The only other year in thé city’s history when the fatalities were so great from heat was in 1878. The ex- cessive hot spell lasted that year from July 10 to 2, and the mean temperature during the ten days was 87.8 and the maximum 98.5, which was reached July 17.

The crowd waited in patience to see the big race, watching the very ordinary 2 year-olds in the opening dash, the fine contest between half a dozen horses in the Fall Handicap and a tifree-horse race, At exactly five minutes to five the bugle called the ten contestants to the post, and with little enthusiasm they trotted past the stand up to the chute, so far away that only those in the upper parts of the grand stand could see what was going on. One, two and three false breaks were made with a num- ber of single break-aways, and after a delay of 2% minutes they were sent away in fair - order, with Ogden in the lead and Box sec- ' ond, Banmure third and Rhodesia’ fotrth. They did not shift in their positions until they were at the quarter-mile pole, and Ogden was still in front, by a head only, but Tuberville had him well in hand, and was waiting for the final, rush, trying to — keep all he could up his sleeve. . The crack Keene filly, Rhodesia, was: next, but Simms was at work on her and she was but a head in front of Rodermond, on whom Hill was doing his best. Next came the. favorite, Ornament, and it seemed then as if the race would be be- tween these four, as the others were prac- tically in the second division and struggling hard to get up to the flying leaders. The “good thing,” Challenger, fifth and laboring, while behind him were Bastian, Panmure, Box and Newsgatherer, already tish Chieftain well in hand for the fir : The speed was quickenhed a bit now, ai as Tuberville urged Ogden a trifle he shot a little ahead of Ornament, who*had pass- ed Rhodesia, the filly being a little in ad- vance of Rodermond, while Taral had car- ried Scottish Chieftain past Challenger, a beaten horse. As they rounded the bend into the main track Sloane began to work still harder on Ornament, but his work was of little avail, for in front of him was the copper and green jacket of Tu- berville on the other Westerner, Ogden, still leading by half a length. : Rodermond had by this time passed Rhodesia, who had got enough of it, and was trying to quit in spite of all that Simms could do. Taral was trying his hardest with Scottish Chieftain and was gaining inch by inch on the filly, who was slipping back slowly but surely. They were now around the turn and each boy could see the big purse hung up at the judges’ stand, with chances for only four of them. The five furlongs was in sight, was passed and the boys were working hard. Tuberville still had a half a length the bet- ter of Ornament, with Sloane unable to do: much for his mount, as he was sadly tired and had worked his passage all the way. He was a length and a half in front of Ro- dermond, with the others absolutely out of it and all hope gone. With only a furlong more, Sloane bent again to his work and seemed to be gaining a trifle on thé flying.Ogden, when there was a crack in the atmosphere and Ogden was gone. He_was nearly two lengths ahead and all chahces had vanished for, amid the cries of the crowd, Ogden, slid past the judges with $44,290 as his reward, while Or- nament had to be content with second place by half a length and $3,666.66, Roder- mond thtrd with $1,833.33, while the others were away out of it badly beaten, The best 2-year-old was still an open question, but the West had gained all the honors by running first and second. The crowd then began to melt away and by the time the hurdle race was run there were fey left to watch it The first race was wel! played, Dr. Jim | being backed on his public form, Ludwig- shafen on his work and Ross O. on his But no one was in but Ludwigshafen, who won easily after a drive with Ross O., second, and Dr. Jim, third. In the second event, Doomful and Sir Frederick were about equa! favorites and “hy but for stupid riding by Hirsch Doomful would have won. As it was he was beaten by a nose by the outsider, Dr. Aught of the Brooklyn string. After the first race, Gid- eon, the owner of Ludwigshafen, had to pay _ $1,500 te retain him as the colt was bid up der punishment ) ; that amount by Bob Aitken. In the Fall Handicap, Gotham was the favorite, although Buck Massie, Lucania and Irish Reel were about as strong choice. Hanwell went away in the lead at the fall of the. flag, but when Gotham caught him in the last furlong be ewerved un- and lost the race by a short distance, the others being close up. Lake Shore and Deerslayer were equal favorites in the fourth race, but Lake Shore won all the way very easily.

C., Aug. 15.—An al- leged filibustering steamer, the Commo- dore, has been lying off East Battery here for months. At noon to-day it steamed out of harbor, followed by revenue cutt Colfax. The Commodore loaded ninety bundles of ri- fles and 201 cases of ammunition, Owing to the close watch kept by the Cokfax no men were able to embark. The departure of the Commodore is_ be- lieved to be the result of a conference held to-day between the officers and Paul Rojo, ent of the Cuban Junta.

Hanna Afraid the House Will Be Dem- ocratic and a Silver Bill Passed . Regardless of His Tool. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—The goldbug press has had a dainty morsel to roll about In its capacious jaw the last few days in the so-called failure of William J. Bryan. to electrify the metropolis with his eloquence. The fact that the Democratic candidate had rather speak to the millions of his fellow citizens through the omnipresent tele- graph than to tickle the ears of a few thousands who went to Madison Square Garden to be carried aloft on the wings of rhetoric, thrilled with climaxes, hypno- tized, as it were, has been entirely ignored by the enslaved journals of Wall street and the Hanna ring. The sentiment prevails here among sound thinking Democrats that from his view point Mr. Bryan did right in reading a carefully prepared, lucid and convincing address, rather than trust extempore speech to the garbled reports of a hostile press from which he has already suffered in the past. Of course it cannot be less, that the big meet ng Was a disap- pointment to the thousands assembled to see and hear the noted orator who came from out of the West. A number of politi- cal lights here express regret that the silver leader did not see his opportunity in another light and use his remarkable ars ad captan- dum, leaving profound discussion of the platform and its principles to his letters of acceptance. If the multitude expected to be thrilled with brilliant oratory, why not fulfill their expectations? If 20,000 persons were looking for a display of rhetorical pyrotechnics, why not give the show? Certainly such a course would have done the orator no harm, would, in fact, have compelled the entire local press to acknowl- edge his eloquence, whereas, now to para- phrase an old joke, it ‘scorns the allegations and laughs at the alligator.” Friends and enemies alike admit that Mr. Bryan has lost an opportunity in the notification speech. On the other hand, the address he deliv- ered, at the close of the big meeting from the balcony of the Batholdi Hotel, caugnt and held the ear of a vast crowd who gath- ered around the silver headquarters. The contrast between the two speeches was marked. Plainly, Mr. Bryan was not at home in the garden with his manuscript; but on the ba sony he was in his element. The studied hostility of the goldbugs and their desires to make as much trouble as possible for the free silver demonstration, was nowhere more apparent than before the hotel during the talks of candidates Bryan and Sewall. The two big cable lines of the city inter- sect at this point. It was stated to me a couple of days ago on good authority that every motorman had been ordered to ring his noisy bell unceasingly for a block on either side of the hotel. They did it. It was a contest between sounding brass and a pair of well developed lungs. Mr. Bryan saw the humor of it. The crowd didn't. The fortunate presence of a number of po- lice prevented ten thousand persons from overthrowing a few cars and mone the motormen. Several men contented t em- selv with hurling curses at “Whitney's goldbug cars." A storm of protest has arisen over the notification ticket scandal. Speculators did a rousing business all day Wednesday in front-of the Garden, and now the man- agers of the big event want to know how they got hold of the tickets. The most plausible explanation is that they were stol- en during their transmission through the Post-office, but the officials of the mail de- partment bitter! demand proof. were sent in this manner,:and as it could easily be seen what the packages were, the Surloining of them would be no diffi- cult task. At any rate the fact remains that many hundred persons received no tickets to which they were entitled, consequently could not get within a block of the hall. Besides, it is claimed that at least 60,000 bogus tickets were on the street, as a re- sult of which confusion became so great that the police were campelled to refuse admission to every one} “At last, however, Mf. Bryan and. his charming wife, as well as Mr. Sewall, are away from the strife and bother of the aftermath and the two former are enjoy- ing a much needed rest up the State. The party left the St. John residence this morn- ing to pay a visit to Mr. John Brisbans Walker at Irvington on the Hudson, Mr. Bryan will re- main in quiet and solitude until the first of September, when he will begin active campaign work until election time. Con- Sinderable comment has been passed on the visit’ of the candidate under Banker St. John’s auspices to Coney Island, the lague spot of vice and wickedness. For- unately, the party saw the style of the place on the arrival of the boat and did not go ashore. Some press agent held forth alluring as toes ae hence the visit to the realm of Coochee-Coochee dancers and Frankfurters. The truth is that Mr. Bryan’s visit has been wretchedly managed while in town, and doubtless policy and tact has kept him from so expressing him- self. , Now that the hostile press has thorough- ly chewed the cud of the “‘Bryan failure and the “notification frost,” it casts about for other morsels of falsehood, and from away down in Alabama has fished this story, which is now going the rounds: Mr. Bryan was in Birmingham on May 2, 1895, and de- livered an address under the auspices of the Alabama Free Silver Club. His speech touched on one question only, the cur- rency, The story goes on to say that, al- though it io impossible to get a. gsteno- graphic report of the speech, a synopsis published in an Alabama paper shows & number of similarities to that delivered in Madison Square Garden Wednesday last. Then the similarities are pointed out. What are they? No similarities of speech, but of argument and points. A fearful: crime against the orator. As though the gold ad- vocates do not use their main arguments over and over again. What new points are there in the discussion anyway? § Still these canting journals must have something to cry about, and why not one silly chargé as’ well ag another. For so far the whole Republican and gold Democratic campaign has been signalized by lack of argument and abundance of epithets, abuse and condemn- able personalities. ainsaid, neverthe- circulated this morning throughout’ the country is to the effect that Senator Gor- paign committee and would now refuse his assistance altogether. The fact is that Senator Gorman has himself given assur- the committee he will render all possible campaign. He said that all the members handle the campaign in Maryland. within a week. The committee will send out their speakers before September. his private affairs there he will go to Chi- cago and select the headquarters. ® Chairman Jones has decided on the fol- lowing members of the Campaign Commi t- tee: Gov, Stone, Missouri; J.

J. G. Shanklin, the committeeman from Indiana, made the statement that the State Committee had the names and t- office address of over 10,00 Republicans who would vote the Democratic ticket. On the other hand, Mr. Shanklin said that at the highest calculation there were not over 1500 “Hannaiteg” in his State. The news also. reached Chairman, Jones that the Republicans were so dissatisfied with their, progress in the middle West that they had determined after the ist of September to try and push the tariff to the front and say ag litle on the currency question as. possible. gressional contests.

Senator Gorman will probably go to Saratoga to-day, where he will meet New York Democrats from almost every county, Congressman MeMillin of Ten- nessee and a few other prominent, Demo- crats are still here and will probably meet Senator Hill here to-day. As Senator Gorman has gone to Saratoga there is a possibility of Senator Hill joining him there to-morrow. These politicians were in communication with each other over a long distance telephone yesterday, and later the Marylander announced that he thought of spending Sunday in that quiet village. It is an ideal spot for a political conference between men who are not crav- ing too much publicity. When Mr. Jones had dinner with Mr. Hill at the seaside some weeks ago, he re- ceived only comparative comfort from the New York Senator. Hill told him that at least until after the State Convention his Sed would be one of rigid neutrality. ubsequently something would depend on what Mr. Bryan himself might say in his no- tification speech or in his letter of accept- ance, Hill urged that the candidate might make a platform for himself upon which it would be easy for some New Yorkers to climb, but Mr. Bryan did not. He adhered to the Chicago platform strictly. The out- come of Mr, Hill's interview is awaited with interest. ST FRY FOR GOVERNOR. The Socfalist-Labor Party Convention Puts Out a Full State Ticket. Theft Socialist Labor party held a State Convention and placed a full ticket in the field last evening, at Walhalla Hail, Tenth street and Franklin avenue. For a State Convention it was a very tame exhibition. There were only thirty- six delegates who presented credentials that were acceptable. They were given the seats in the center of the hall, while the spectators and. sympathizers were seated on either side. Of the thirty-six delegates all but a few were from the city wards. Be- fore the convention was called to order, a delegation of ‘“‘middle-of-the-road” Popu- lists put in an appearance and urged a plan of fusion. They wanted Goodman, who is running for Congress in the Twelfth District, indorsed, They received so little encouragement from the leaders that they did not press their recommendation. Chairman A. E. Sanderson of the State Committee opened the proceedings shortly before 9 o’clock. A committee, composed of Gen, Lewis C. Fry, Joseph Schidler and Emil Lochmann, Was appointed to pass upon the credentials, When the committee reported, Mr. Sanderson was made perma- nent chairman and Fred Gwiesler secretary. A committee, consistmg of M. E. Lochel- mann, L. C. Fry, Joseph Schidler, Louis Kober and Henry Heldemann, was hext ap- pointed to prepare a platform. It reported an indorsement of the resolutions adopted in the National Convention held in ew York two months ago.

He referred to the growth of the party in Europe and said it was only a question of time when it would show ag much strength in the United States. The old parties came in for a general denunciation. Free coniage of silver was attacked as well as the single gold standard. The only hope for the wage worker, he in- sisted, rested in the success of the Socialist Labor party. Then nominations for Governor were de- clared in order. A Fifth ward delegate named Gen. L. C. Fry, who commanded a California -brigade in the Coxey Industria] Army. Chairman Sanderson was also named, but he withdrew in favor of Gen. Fry who, attired in a ministerial black suit and a black silk hat, loomed up like a capitalist in the crowd. Fry’s nomination was made by acclamation. Sn other nominations were made in this order: Lieutenant-Governor—Christ Rocker. Secretary of State—A. E. Sanderson. Auditor—James A. Rendall. Treasurer—Henry Poelling. Attorney-General—Adolph Hepner. Judge Supreme Court—George Fillbrunn. Railroad Commissioner—Charles L. Hoo4. Electors-at-Large—Henry Nobel and Louis Froehlich. All the nominees are St. Louisans. When the ticket was named a resolution offered by Gen. Fry forbiddiag any nomi- nee to accept an indorsement from any other party was adopted. The nomination of a city and Congressional ticket was deferred until a later date to be announced by the committee. A collection was taken up to form the nucleus of a campaign fund and the con- vention was adjourned. HIS DAYS ARE SHORT A West Virginia Negro Beat a Woman With a Hammer and He Will Probably Be Lynched. Special to The Post-Dispatch. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., Aug. 15.— About la. m., Mrs. America Roberts, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs, Elliot Deem of Avery street, was aroused from sleep by the sud- den flash of gaslight in her room. Looking up she saw a big negro standing by her bedside. The negro struck the woman, but failed to render her uncon- scious. She sprang up and began to cry “murder,”” when he struck her again and again with a big hammer tied like a sling- shot with a white handkerchief. As Mrs. Roberts fell, bruised and un- conscious, her parents rushed into the room and the negro fled. Officers Sere notified and after Mrs. Rob- erts gave a description of her assailant they immediately arrested Erd Easley, a notorious negro who has heretofore been suspected of such crimes. They put biood- hounds on the trail, beginning where the as- ndow, and the dogs trailed Easley over every foot of ground he had gone to the jail, where they tried to get at him through the bars. Easley was taken to the Deem House and was identified. He was then retdrned to jail. Meanwhile the excitement increased and people began to whisper that in Easley they have at t found the man who mur- dered Mrs. Mullen’ on Market street, who assaulted and left for dead Rose Archer on Tenth street, Miss Willis on Market street, the daughter of Thos. Wetherell on heme street and Mrs. Hayden on Market street, These crimes were committed at intervals all on Friday nights and all by a negro an- swering the description of Easley.

Every Ward, School District and ; Township Is Urged. WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Senator Jones at 4 o'clock this afternoon made the fol- lowing statement: , “The headquarters of the National Demo- cratic Committee will be established at Chicago with a branch in Washington City. A part of the Campaign Committee, suffi- cient to conduct the business of the cam- paign for the present, has been appointed. The gentlemen selected so far are: Messrs. John R. McLean, Ohio; D. G. Casgpau, Michigan; J. D. Johnson, Kansas; Clark Howell, Georgia; Bradley Smalley, Vermont; Gahan, Illinois. J. L. Norris has also been selected as Assistant Treasurer of the National Committee, located at Wash- ington. Other appointments will be made as occasion requires. The Executive Com- mittee will be appointed later. r. Gorman was requested to accept a place on the Campaign Committee. He declined because of the selection of Chicago, as he could not very well go so far from his own State.

Chairman Jones ‘Writes President Black to That Effect. WASHINGTON, Aug, 15.—The officers of the National Association of Democratic Clubs have begun the work of preparation for the St. Louis Convention, Sept, 3. A letter from Chairman Jones to President Black urging immediate and energetic at- tention to this work by the officers of the National Association and of all associated clubs has been received here, together with a draft of the call for the convention from Mr. Black, who is at his home in Pennsylvania. The letter indicates a pur- pose to have a thorough popular organiza- tion throughout the country. Chairman ponee letter to President Black is as fol- Ows: WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7, 1896. Hon. Chauncey F. Black, President National Association of Democratic Clubs: My Dear Sir—In view of the great ser- vices rendered to the Democratic party in the past by the organization of which you are president, I take the liberty of writing you to urge that you push the organiza- tion of clubs with all possible energy in all the States of the Union. If you can have clubs. organized in every ‘ township and school district in the country and in every ward in the cities and towns you will, in my opinion, accomplish great results for the Democratic party. Please give immediate attention to this most important matter and urge upon your State and county organizers in all sec- tions of the Union the necessity for prompt and energetic action. Hoping to hear from you favorably, I am, very truly yours, JAMES K. JONES, Chairman National Democratic Committee. President Black called the Second Quad- rennial Convention of Democratic Clubs to oes at St. Louis at noon Wednesday, ept. Each Democratic club, league or Demo- cratic society on the rotl of the National Association wilh be entitled to one dele- gate for eech hundred members in good standing, but no club ar society will be en- titled to more than five delegates. Wherever the clubs or societies. of any State or Ter- ritory, including the District of Columbia, no less than ten In number, have formed State, Territorial “Or District associations or shall hereafter have done so, such asso- ciation will be entitled to eleven delegates at large. The call is addressed to all popular or- ganigations, under any name, which sup- ag Bryan and Sewall, for fusion tickets n behalf of the Democratic candidate for the presidency, and which may seek enroll- ment with the association for the purpose of intelligent and general co-operation in the pending campaign. os It may be announced,” says the call, from information received at the head- quarters that the present campaign will, in a large measure, be a campaign of clubs and that the approaching convention to be held in the heart of the controlling States will be one of the greatest political assemblages in the history of the world. It will show the power of the people in their home organ- izations and demonstrate, in advance, the over waeeing triumph of their cause, de- spite the mighty interests openly syndi- cated upon the other side to crush and de- strey it. Organized Bryan clubs of every name and description are cordially invited to escort their delegates to the city and con- vention hall, where ample accommodations for such bedies will be reserved outside the seats occupied by the delegates.”’ MISSIONARY WORK BEGINS. = . Democratic Congressional Committee Opens Its Campaign. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—The Demo- cratic Congressional Committee will begin campaign work in earnest on Monday. Fifty employes will bombard the mails with Democratic’ literature of the most convincing sort. From no part of the country do reports come indicating any change in the rapidly rising Democratic tide for free silver. Senator Faulkner, shrewd from long ex- perience in political warfare, reads. the signs like a weather prophet. He said yes- terday: ‘“‘Never before have I seen to any such degree the eager inquiring purpose which possesses the public mind. We re. ceive hundreds of letters from Republi- cans asking for our campaign literature. We send what is called. for. “Then in a week or ten days we get let- ters from the same men asking for enough documents to distribute among a dozen people. That means that we have made a convert and that he has téfned missiona- ry. We are going to circulate Bryan's speech of acceptance by the million. It is the most convincing argument I ever read.”’ M’KINLEY AT CLEVELAND. He Will Not Take the Stump During the Campaign. CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 156.—Maj. Me- Kinley arrived in the city this evening and will meet Chairman Hanna of the Republi- can Committee on the return of the latter from Chicago to-morrow. It has n ru- mored for two or three days that Maj. Mc- Kinley was thinking of taking the mye and it is said the conference to-morrow wil be upon that subject. It is stated, however, by one of Maj, McKinley's close friends that he has no intention of making speeches during the ca n and that he has not seriously considered such a prop- osition. ° MAY SUBSTITUTE NORTON.

He Makes a Stirring Speech for Silver and the Ticket. CONWAY, Mo., Aug. 15.—Hon. J. W. Farris of Lebanon, Mo., addressed a crowd of 300 or 400 people at this place to-night. A large number of ladies were present and were eager listeners, as they are taking an active part in this campaign and will be a great force in the politics of this coun- ty. Mr. Farris made a splendid speech, talk- ing for an hour and three-quarters. The hall was packed to its utmost capa- city, all the standing room being taken up. Mr. Farris’ argument was strong and con- vincing. He showed that the Republican party had left its former declarations and its former leaders, reading from John Sher- man, A. Lincoln, Wm. McKinley and oth- ers of equal fame, showing that these great leaders were for silver and against the single gold standard. At the close of the talk a Bryan feee sil- ver club, with 105 members, and containing about ten former Republicans, was organ- ized. At least twenty-five Republicans will join the club at this place on account of the Republican platform declaring for a Single gold standard.

Theresa Mellair ended a life of misery yesterday by taking morphine in her room in a lodging house at the southeast corner of Seventh and Spruce streets.

—_—- Se -—O—™ HE OPENS THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN IN OHIO. SQUARELY AGAINST SILVER. ‘A Plea or McKinley and the Gold Standard From the Ex-Secretary of the Treasury. COLUMBUS, 0O., Aug. 15.—Senator John Gherman opened the Republican State cam- paign here to-day, speaking in a big tent on East Broad street, estimated to hold ~ 10,000 people. At 1:30, after the usual music, Gov. Bush- nell, as chairman, formally opened the ex- ercises with a short speech, after which he introduced Senator John Sherman. The Genator was received with great cheering. He said: Mr. Chairman and Fellow-Citizens: A citizen of Ohio has been selected by the Re- publican National Convention as their can- didate for President of the United States, and we are here to ratify and support his nomination. We take pride in Wm. Mc- Kinley not only for the honor conferred up- on Ohio by the convention, but because we know. him to be fitted for that great office. We know that since his boyhood his life has been pure and stainless, that as a soldier in the Union army he was brave and loyal, that as a member of Congress for many years he exhibited the highest mental traits and rendered great services to his country, and that as Governor of Ohlo he proved his capacity to perform difficult executive du- ties. And he has the higher claim upon us that during all his active life he has been a faithful and able Republican, thoroughly in sympathy with the principles of the Repub- lican party. At the coming presidential election there will be submitted to your judgment two questions, one of which is whether any holder ‘of silver bullion may deposit it at the mints of the United States and have it coined tor his benefit, and without cost to him, into silver dollars, each of the weight of 412% grains of standard silver, nine- tenths fine, and may tender them for any debt, public or private. The other quest.on is whether in levying duties or taxes on imported goods we should only consider the revenue required, or whether, while rais- ing the needed revenue, we should seek also to protect and encourage domestic in- dustries. The one is called revenue tariff, and the other a protective tariff. Both the silver and the tariff are vital questions of domestic policy of equal im- ortance, but I propose on this occasion o confine my remarks peony to what is known as the free coinage ilver at the ratio of sixteen parts of silver to one of ld. This issue is thrust upon us by the emocratic party, or rather by the Populist branch of the Democratic party. Gold and silver coins are recognized by all commercial nations of the world as the best standard of value, as the measure of every article of desire, of every thing that is bought or sold. These two metals not only measure all other things, but they measure each other. Their relative value constantly changes. Twenty-three years ago 16 ounces of silver were worth more than one ounce of gold. Now thirty-one ounces of silver can be bought by one ounce of gold. This fluctuation of value cannot be prevented by law. It is caused by the changing demands for and the increasing supply of these metals from the mines. Both are necessary as money, silver to supply the daily wants of life and gold to measure the larger transac- tions of business, especially in exchange with foreign nations. How to maintain the parity of the two metals at a fixed ratio has been, is, and always will be a eg problem, not only in the United tates but in the civilized world. It was one of the first questions to oc- cupy the attention of American statesmen after the adoption of the Constitution, and is now one of the most pressing, after more than 100 years of national growth. In 1792 silver and gold were made the common Standards of value in the United States at the ratio of 15 to 1, but this was op °cause then the actual market value of fifteen ounces of silver was equal to the actual market value of one ons.ce of gold. The greatest care was taken to ascertain this ratio by Thomas Jefferson, then Secretary of State, and Alexander Hamilton, then Secretary of the Treasury. These two ‘lis- tinguished statesmen. who disagreed upon ‘nearly all other questions, did agree upon the then relative values of both metals, and that both should he coined into money at that ratio. At that time neither gold or silver was found in any considerat .» quantity in the thirteen States then forming the Union. The revolutionary war hal been con4ucted with paper money, which became worthless, and the coins of Spain, England and other countmes had been made a legal tender, and continued so for many years ifter the adoption of the Constitution. hen the new American coins were is- sued it was found that the abraded and worn coins of other countries flled the channels of circulation and the new and bright dollars of the United States were ex- rted. Th's led to the discontinuance in by President Jefferson, of the coinage of the silver dollar, and after that date mone were coined for more than thirty years. This order of Jefferson, I suppose, would be called by our Populistic friends, the “Crime of 1806." In the meantime France and other coun- tries adopted the ratio of [15% ounces of sil- ver as the equivalent of one ounce of gold. To avoid these embarrassing changes En- gland in 1816 adopted gold asjthe single Standard in that country and silver as a subsidiary. In 1884, during the administration of Pres- » - : oo . - - ae ™ ‘ € . a as. woe ae”. Me fie oF Fin : ao Sry Oe fre ee? oL5 ae a . oe - ee . he, y oe .

Gold became the only American coin in circulation, and the avowed purpose of ing the law of 184 was to make gold the standard. This was deciared by the committee of the House of Representa- tives, who had charge of the bill, and who said in their report: ‘Th. committee think the desideratum in the monetary system is a standard of uni- ferm value; they cannot ascertain that both metals have ever circulated simul- taneously, concurrently and indiscrimin- ately ir any country where there are banks or money dealers, and they entertain the conviction that the nearest approach to an invariable standard is its establishment in one metal, which metal shall compose exclusively the currency for large pay- "Tale law, heart es s law, he y approv Andre Jackson, Would now be called “The crime re) l oe In 1853, upon the report of Senator Hunter when Pierce was President and when ali branches of the py were under Democratic control, Congress reduced the quantity of silver in the fractional coins, half dimes, quarters and half dollars more than 6 per cent, directed the purchase of the silver for their coinage on government ac. age and made only, leaving gold still practically the only full legal tender United States coin.

This bill was pending in ougress for three years, was carefully considered in both houses and special attention was called to the omission of the 412% grain silver dollar which was never in the bill at any stage. and the reasons for this omission given. It was finally determined at the urgent request of members from the Pacific Coast to insert amghg the silver coins a trade dollar containing 420 grains of standard sil- ver, but this dollar was made, like the minor coins, a legal tender for $50 only. There was but.one yea and nay vote on the bill, and that was on the p tion to repeal the charge made by the mint for the coinage of gold. I voted against its repeal. The bill passed both houses and became a law Feb. 12, 1873, by practically a unanimous vote of both parties, and was specially supported and voted for by the ponetete and members from the silver tates. This has been called the “crime of 1873,” and as the. bill was under my charge in the Senate I was held to be the chief criminal. It was, in fact, a wise measure of public policy, carefully discussed and considered during three years. _ When we test the outcry against this act With the sober facts shown by official rec- ords, it appears simply ludicrous. The total number of silver dollars coined from 1792 to 1873 was 8,031,238, while the number of trade dollars issued under the coinage act of 1873, containing 7% grains more silver than the old dollar, was 35,965,924, and the number of standard silver dollars coined under the 430,790,041, or It is strange that the very men who urged this coinage law of 18738 and demanded the exclusive coinage of gold are the very men who now de- mand the free coinage of silver and de- -— J 4 Pt i ; Ee 4 “Peo. 2 Fa " - ; ‘ “ % > . “4 = ~ Rae, Ge s a _e o> ae oe ¥ y ek 8 rE seer | ‘ : A Cag in Va De pes Sree We eee ee Se i» % Se: ee Tl, en Wows od RE Ns ge hn a ~ sip a aa hae d Brera e ores : | an » Mi ee Bee” * “ie é: = eS eae ete ee COE, CORRAL OT PRS * aye

& ma é a —_—_ GEN. VON. SCHELLENDORF HAS BEEN RELIEVED. A ROW WITH THE EMPEROR. The Kaiser Could Not Agree With the General Concerning Military Trial Reform. BERLIN, Aug. 15.—The official announce- ment that Gen. Bronsart Von Schellendorf, the Minister for Wr, had been relieved from office and tha. he would be suc- ceeded by Gen. Von Gossler, startled the political world this afternoon. The War Minister's difference with the Emperor re- garding the long-planned military trial re- form has been a topie for discussion for a long time past, and it was known that un- less. His Majesty acquiesced to Gen. Von Schellendorf's view in the matter, which was also the view of the Imperial Chan- cellor, Prince Hohenlohe, both intended to resign. But it was thought that the crisis would be tided over until after the Czar’s visit to Berlin, and it appears that the true rea- ‘ gon which tnduced the Emperor to abandon his projected trip to the Rhine provinces was not physical indisposition, but the fact that Prince Hohenlohe and Gen. von Schel- lendorf had intimated to His Majesty that they would resign unless he agreed to the military trial reform, to which the Minis- ters were publicly pledged, and which, ow- ing to the influence of the Emperor's pri- vate military cabinet, especially that of Gen. .von Hahanke, the aide-de-camp General, has been deferred repeatedly. The interviews between Emperor William and Prince Hohenlohe on the subject were mot satiefactory, as the Chancellor insisted ‘upon his point, also alleging that the bur- dens of office were more onerous than his age and health could bear. No definite un- derstanding was reached, but it is under- stood that the matter was postponed, so far as Prince Hohenlohe is concerned, for the Fon eo ‘ Z « ~— 5 > = whe Su a - gis . a ~ - a A aK Bee y Ps , : eee Se a _ 2 1, t ir . ’ ad ww + " . j ore ne ae : ee ; « ae, Ons Fa i, BBE * oe aaa” 4 Pa ; > : ae y 2 Fou . y of ’ ee s —_—— oF _—_- oC Will Fall to Fr.

ANGELL'S CLAIM Report That Jay Gould’s Alleged Widow Has Made a Settlement of Her Case. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—In well-informed financial and social circles to-day a rumor was circulated to the effect that a settle- ment of the claims of Sarah Brown’ Gould Angell, the woman alleged to have been married to the late Jay Gould in 1866, had been effected. It was stated that she was to receive or had received $100,000 in con- sideration of abandoning her suit for dower right it. the real estate of the decéased millionaire. These rumors probably originated in the receipt by Register Sohmer of a document executed and signed with X ‘“‘Her Mark’”’ by Sarah Brown Gould Angell, in which she conveys to Amasa J. Parker, Jr., of Albany and Margaret E. Cody of Denver, Col., all right, title and interest in and to all prop- erty of every kind and natutfe of which Mrs. Angell is and was seized as her dower right in the property of Jay Gould. Amasa J. Parker is the Albany lawyer who has from the first had charge of Mrs. Angéli’s case, and Mrs. Margaret EB. Cody, an aunt of Buffalo Bill, is the woman who originally unearthed and set In motion the alleged claims of Mrs, Sarah Angell as the first and legitimate wife of the great finan- cier. While it has been practically admitted that Jay. Gould, then called Jason Gould, while yet in his teens met and lived for | some time with 15-year-old Sarah Brown, of | Rose’s Point, Chester County, N. Y., and that a girl child was born to them, the fact of their marriage is denied. The friends and | legal advisers of the Goulds scout the idea that a settlement has been effected, as this would practically admit the legitimacy of Mrs. Angell’s claims. Winslow 8. Pierce, partner of Judge Dil- lon, attorney for George Gould, said: “I Know nothing about the transfer of Mrs. Ahgell’s supposed claims, and I have not heard any rumor of a settlement with her. Any rumor of that kind now or in the fu- ture must be absolutely false. No such thing is probable or even possible,” PARDON FOR ALLS.

State’s Attorney Schaeffer is the other city official whose inactivity has resulted in the growth of the feeling that the law must be upheld, no matter at what cost, or at w @zpense. He is the man w has prosecuted with great diligence every case against the persecuted Salvationists and al- lowed those who have abused them to go free or be let off with a nominal fine. . He has wilfully disregarded instructions from the private secretary of Gov. Alt- geld to look into the matter and see that the laws are enforced. He received such instructions three weeks ago and since then Hans Schwartz, 4n anarchist, has torn down the fiag of the army in the corner of which was the minidture em- blem of this nation. The position of these men cringing to and abetting the lawless element has driven many persons who have no regard for the Salvation Army to take sides in opposi- tion to, those elements demanding that they be crucified for worshiping according as they see fit, It has disrupted the town and placed the decent, self-respecting people on the one side and the saloon-keepers, the hoodlums and the Anarchist on the other. The local press of the town has been throttled. The only paper that dared lift its Voice against the OUtrages in the name of law and the wanton disregard of con- Stitutional principles was boycotted until on the verge of bankruptcy, and then in self-defense it was forced to keep silent. Adam Gintz, the wealthy brewer of Belleville, a man who oOWns thousands of dollars’ worth of property, early took the side of the saloon element. he dread specter of Sunday closing was in his eye. e even went so far as to participaie in one of the riots last April. With his influence and backed by all the saloon interests, he has succeeded in shut- ting up any paper that is published in the town. They dare not lift their voices in behalf of décency, else their advertising “reps off and their subscription lists are cut h two. This is the kind of fight that warms men up to action. If the threats which the up- holders of law and order are now making are carried out there is even liab to be bloodshed between the factions before the end of this week. Capt. Anderson, the young officer in charge of the little army which has its headquarters on South Church street, is going to stick it out if it costs him his life. fe was seen in the living rooms over the barracks and talked over the situation. The glass doors of the meeting-room had been broken in and the glass replaced with Pieces of plank. The front of the house was stained and marked in spots where rot- ten @ggs and other offensive missiles had been hurled at it. Capt. Anderson is a young man with light hair and clear blue eyés. He is tall and Well built, but has a very worn and fatigued air about him at present. When asked to tell how affairs stood he said: it is a very trying experience that we are going through here. I am very weary in body from the work we have had. In other parts of the State where I have marched I was called ‘Happy Fred,’ and it was not unusual for me to go along the street singing, but now I am afraid that I have lost the title I gained elsewhere. “‘We will not be beaten in this fight. It is not our way to give up because we are opposed or disliked. We feel we are right, and will continue with our werk in spite of all opposition.” Capt. Anderson was told that Mayor Sunkel had stated that the army in Belle- ville made more noise than ee pores else, meetings and marchings for the sole purpose of inciting the crowds to violence. The > Pee smiled and paused a moment, then said: “IT think the Mayor does us an injustice there. Our drum is no louder than any other, and I am sure we do not beat it with the same vigor and enthusiasm that we would if we were moved by a spirit of rejoicing. We do not carry all our instru- ments to our meétings; and, in fact, I have often gone out without them and without the flag so as to avoid all possibility of a disturbance, ‘“‘As to the-charge that we conduct our- selves with a view to inciting the crowd te attack us, that is very unkind. Only the other day I went out another way and tried to hold a little meeting on a by- street, so as to avoid the square. No sooner had we stopped than we were told by the policeman to*move on and go to the square, and that the square was the only place for us to meet in. “Our marchés and meetings do not differ from those we give anywhere else and we do nothing to excite the resentment of anybody. I have had yery good fortune elsewhere and gained many converts by using the very same means we try to use here.’’ Right across South Church street from the Salvation Army barracks is a vine-covered house with a broad front porch and a well- kept yard and lawn. On one corner of the house is a regulation sign of black and gold bearing the inscription: ‘“‘Dr. Perryman.” It is both the office and residence of the doctor, who has lived there for thirty years and is one of the strongest cham- pions of the Salvationists. -He bails them out when they are arrested and is with them at their meetings when riots occur. He has a commanding presence and a voice which can be heard above any ordinary noise or disturbance. Capt. Anderson said: “I wish you would go over with me to Dr. Perryman’s; may be able to say something of interest to you.”’ Captain Anderson’s opinion was justified by Dr. Perryman. The purpose of the visit was explained to the doctor. He did the rest. “Young man,” said he, “I have lived in this community for thirty years, and in my long life, I have seen many things, but never, in my experience, have I seen such outrages as have been perpetrated in ths city.

TEXAS IS FOR SILVER. Land Commissioner Baker to Be Turn- ed Down Because He Wavered in the Fight. Specig] to the Post-Dispatch. AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 15.—The State Dem- ocratic Convention convenes in Fort Worth Tuesday, Aug. 18, and from present indi- cations it will be a very peaceful affair. The present incumbents in the State de- partments will all return with one possible exception. A new man will probably as- sume control of the Land Office Depart- ment. The present Commissioner, J. Baker, was an avowed goldbug of the most rabid species and never flopped until the precious opportunity had slipped awuy from him. During the revolution of polit- ical affairs, when the Wall street gang were confident of success, the Land Com- missioner affiliated with the crowd against protests from his brother officeholders and went so far as to try to get the nomina- tion for Governor on the goldbug ticket, when such a thing looked very plausib.e. When the crowd of bolters convened in Galveston in the early spring, Mr. Baker said that it was impossible for him to at- tend, but he telegraphed his regrets, in a dispatch that was indeed pitiful. n the meantime, however, he penned a letter to the then acknowledged chief, Rufus Hardy, in which he stated that he would like very much to head the State goldbug ticket at the November election. The letter caused all sorts of comment in political circles on account of its construction, and the leading politicians were practically dumfounded as to its real significance. It proved to be, Gubernatorial honors. Mr. Hardy was un- able to properly translate the epistle, so he very kindly replied, and in doing so let the cat-out of the bag. The Lone Star political Mecca then received the advantage of a genuine political sensation. The contingent 6f goldjen rods and Wall street Democrats kept on pounding away until their forces dwindled down to a small handful of turned down officeholders and pie hunters of high and low degree. Not unti] then did the land commissioner realize that he was in a swamp, surrounded A gmence « quicksand. By some very ener- getic movements he managed to crawl out, and announced to the world that he was in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 tol. The time was almost too late, but by ‘some extraordinary | schemes he was finally allowed to get back into the graces of some of the free silver brethren, and one of the sensitive fellows, who possesses a true Southern heart, J. W. Blake, has consented to place the name of . J. Baker before the convention for re- nomination. After the name of Baker goes before the gathering of true and loyal silver Demo- crats, another map wil! be presented, a man who favored the proper use of the white metal in stirring times, in fact he may be cl as one of the silver pioneers in Texas. Mr. G. W. Smith of Harris County is his name, and he served as Secretary of State under the reign of Gov. Hogg. He is wn extensively all over the State, and those who are fortunate enough to be on the inside of the political pot gay that he will go through with a wh “None but free silver friends on guard” is a motto that will strictly adhered to, say the leaders, and they are in a position to know whereof wy +4 speek. nother question is being propounded, Would the gold men, if they had the reins of the State Government, make any con- cessions to their hated enemies?

The howling gang of one- tes are now looking for gore, and their goaren is based on the ¢act that Travis ounty received too many favors during the a of their recent conclave. Mr. S. C. Granberry and Maj. Buck Wal- ton, both favorite sons and pie hunters of Travis County, were placed on the State ticket, the former for Land Commissioner and the latter for Attorney-General. Both are pees men in their special lines, but some of the “Poppies” say they will scratch the ticket for the reason that both gentlemen hail from the same stamping ground, and will succeed in getting up a conspiracy after they get into office and try to corrupt the great party. This goes to show that Mrs. Lease, Gen. Coxey, Mark Hanna and a few other spo ls chasers, are trying to run Texas, and every other State that they can lay. hands on. How strange it is that some of the avowed Populists are coming out and declaring that they will vote for McKinley because he believes in protecting the working man. Several barrels were opened in Galveston at the wind up of the convention and the re- sult is observed without the use of X rays. Sound money Democrats, as they style themselves, are filled with consternation at the grand ovations that the young man from Nebraska is the recipient of whereever he goes. As the silver knight entered the enemy's county large squads of police were required to protect him from the hands of an enthused population. His advent into the golden citadel of Gotham caused the single standard men in Texas to stand like Statues in wonderment. Republicans were speechiess, and the friends of the Westerner were overjoyed.

HINRICHSEN FOR CONGRESS. Some After Stories of the Schemes Worked in the Recent Fusion. Special to The Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. 15.—The action of the State Populist Convention here this week in indorsing the State Democratic and National tickets, is the chief subject of political conversation in all quarters and the expressions over the result of the con- vention are as varied as they are numerous, The Democrats and Populists are in high feather. The Republicans hold Mat the result makes but little odds to them, as they have been fighting the earth for the last score of years, and an amalgamation of all forces will make no more difference in the result of the coming election than if the fusionists were divided. The Democrats lay great.stress upon the fact that the 60,000 votes cast by the Peo- ple’s party in 1894, added to their normal vote, will land their State ticket head and neck ahead of the Republican ticket. The sound money faction of both Demo- crats and Republicans have hopes that it may result in the election of a sound money ticket; but they will not venture far from the shore when making this prediction. Their hopes are built upon the chance of all sound money voters massing their votes on a sound money candidate, while the Pop- ocrats-Democrats-Republicans are fussing with one another.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Aug. 15.—The filing of nomination papers by candidates who desire a place upon the official State bal- lot in Illinois this fall is not overworking the clerks in the office of the Secretary of State, neither is it taxing their ‘gray matter” in entering up the different names. In fact, the “filing” in this campaign 1s slower and smaller at this time of the year is rapidly becoming history, strange stories the surface, showing the underground | workings of the recent “‘deal’’ whereby the) Populists swallowed the Democratic State ticket ae a whole. The wiseacres of the' press gallery are writing paragraphs about ‘Buck’ Hinrichsen having bucked Jake Hess for the nomination for State Auditor, holding that Hess is the Populistic nominee for Congress dowrm in the Sixteenth DiS8trict, which is Hinrichsen’s own district. and in which he is also running for Congress against Hess. They hold that if Buck could have gotten Hess off the track, that the Populists would not have nominated another candidate, but would have allowed Buck and Gen. Rinaker, the Republican nominee, to fight it out. They are wrong. Hinrichsen may have cherished such a desire, and probably did, but when such old ringers as Bill Brinton, Tom Gahan and Brad Durfee got hold of him and told him not to do it he gave up. the idea. The argument used was about | like this. “Let Hess run for Congress. | When you want him you can get him. He’s | easily fixed. If you get him on the State | ticket and take him out of the Congres- | sional fight, the Pops w‘ll nominate a man ou cannot handle and you will have them both to fight.’’ The argument was good. It convinced Hinrichsen that Hess had better run f Congress—until he told him to quit—anmy, have another man named for State A ditor. Maxwell was nominated and Hess is still a candidate for Congress. The stories told about what trouble the committees had in getting one of the Dem- ocratic State candidates to resign are many. Downing, Pace, Crawford and Beck were approached. They were all stubborn and would not withdraw. Pace was too old a bird to be caught with common taffy, while Crawford had been a “stumper’’ too many years in Egypt to not see through the game. Downing had been burned before and knew the color of the fire, and could not see his way clear to getting off just to accommodate a lot of “Middle-of-the-road”’ Populists. When Fred Beck was told that his assessment on the State ticket would just about eat up his first year’s salary as Auditor (if elected) and encroach ie upon the second year’s pay, he weakened, and the committee knew they had him. He was carefully nursed and the beginning of | last week saw his letter of resignation well | under way. The convention finished it, and he eine his resignation, which was ac- cepted. Another story is that the leaders of the tion of affairs. They were shown wherein free silver ticket could be elected by their assistance, and just this “‘assistance’”’ could and would be rendered. They were told that fused, the common ticket would be elected, and the figures of the past election proved the assertion—on paper. They were told how they could make | something out of their cause by a fusion, and wherein they would never, never: amount to a hill of Union County beans if they went it alone. These arguments went home with the Populist leaders. Fu- ture meetings advanced matters which re- and bring about the fusion, It was done. That the Democrats and Populists are both in ‘“‘dead earnest” over the amalga- mation is a fact. Both are preparing for the hottest campaign ever waged in the State. Both claim to have sufficient funds to carry on an aggressive campaign, and both claim to be well prepared in the mu- nitions of war in the shape of literature, orators and the silver dollar. The vote of 2 on President shows: Cleveland, 426,281; Harrison, .280; Prohibl- tion candidate Bidwell, 25,871; People’s par- ty candidate Weaver, 22,207.

The fused parties are counting largely upon the increase in the Populist vote dur- ing the past four years to land them ahead of their opponents—the Republicans—in the coming campaign. arty, Rumors of dissatisfaction of both Popu- lists and Democrats reach here from Cook County, holding that the “‘fusion’’ will work the defeat of the Popocratic ticket. The disgruntled Populists claim they will surely select anothér ticket, and will do al) they can to down the fusilonists.

The leaders there is nothing in it, and that before the August suns grow dim they will be found fighting for the fused ticket. They hold that the disgruntled voters uld not poll one thousand votes. A movement is already well under way to circumvent any such breaks as are threatened, and inside of a fortnight everything will be harmonious, according to the statement given out here by the leaders. ' General John M. Palmer has but little to say. He is for the sound money ticket first lagt and always, and believes there is a good fighting chance to win. If the disgruntled Populists and Democrats can be held in line as they now are, the sound money ticket will be a dangerous factor, and with safe, sound men at the helm, will pull largely from Popocratic and Republican tickets. Disgruntied Republicans who are averse to voting for John Riley Tanner on account of his personality and metheds of “running things’’ in his own peculiar way, and those who absolutely swear they will never vote for Altgeld, will be the ones the gound money element will capture, and the claim is made that they number thousands in the State. Prohibitionists are also being count- ed on to vote a guod, safe ticket.

Has, % “ ; “IN MISOUUHT, DEMOCRATS ° LIMBERING UP TO SHOW THEIR STRENGTH. NO FISH FRY THIS YEAR. Carondelet Is About the Only Neigh- borhood the Republicans Can Hope to Carry in November. The Democratic campaign in Missouri! !s really on now, although there will be little speech making until after the speech of Willlam J. Bryan, who is coming to 6t. Louls the first week in September. Yesterday Chairman Sam Cook of the Btate Committee sent out a large number of letters to Democrats in the different school districts who are to carry on the work of organization. Monday, the letter writing will be re- sumed with vigor and by the latter part of the week there will be several thousand working Democrats in the employ of the State Committee carrying out the plan of organization by school districts. ecretary Love, who is now in Springfield, will return Monday, and if the school dis- trict o@ganizers are as prompt in their work as they are expected to be, nearly all the 7,000 districts will be thoroughly organized before Presidential nominee Bryam and the State candidates begin the work on the etump. liarvey Salmon, Chairman of the Execu- tive Committee, will be in the city this week to take an active part in the campaign. There will probably be a meeting of the Executive Committee in advance of the formal campaign opening, It will have much work to do, and in the opinion of the members a good portion of it should be dis- posed of at once. Democrats from all parts of the State ere writing to Chairman Cook offering their services on the stump or in any way in which they may be useful. They are enthusiastic and confident. There will be no backsliders this year. The Democratic fishing grounds will be deserted Nov, 3, The Democrats are eager to retrieve the landsiide of two years ago, when the Re- publicans captured the Lower House of the Legislature, three members of the State tioket and ten members of the con- gressional delegation. The State Committee hopes to elect four- teen of the fifteen members of Congress, conceding only the Tenth Congressional Dis- trict to the Republicans, Herr Doktor Bartholdt in the Tenth. has such a handsome Republican majority that there is littie hope for a Democrat even in this @ree silver year. Col Fedward Robb of Perry County, the DemdOcratic nominee in the Thirteenth Dis- trict, was in the city yesterday. He was on his way home from the convention at Salem, where he won over a strong fleld on the 185th ballot. There is no doubt of the Demo- crats carrying the district this year. Two years ago John H. Ramey of Pied- mont, a Republican “accident,” was elect- ed. That one object lesson was enough for the Democrats of the Thirteenth. This fall they will elect Mr. Robb by the largest vote ever given in the distriet. Yesterday Capt. William M. Pads of Car- roliton, one of the best known Democrats in the Second lListrict, called at State head- quarters. He ‘s returning home from an extended visit through the Kast. Everywhere he went he found the sen- timent for silver vary strong and growing. “In New York City and State,” said Capt. EFajis, “I found so many silver men among the laboring people that I was very much surpr.aed. I spent a week in and around Boston, and the growth of the silver move- ment is astonishing. “George Fred Williams of Massachusetts fis drawing bigger crowds in his canvass han ever were seen in the old Bay Staite fore in any campaign. “In Indiana and Ohio the Democrats are aggressive and confident. They are work- ing hard and enthusiastically for Bryan."’ he fact that the National Democratic healquarters are to be located in Chicago is regarded , the Btate Committee as a good thing. will put Missouri in close touch with the National Committee and will enable it to work harmoniously and effectively with it. It will not be so difficult to secure speak- ers from pute ise and campaign literature can be securéd in unlimited quantities. —— HOKE SMITH’S RESIGNATION. It Surely Went in and Was Not Ac- cepted. Special to the Post-Dispatch. .NEW YORK, Aug. 146.—The Journal's epecial correspondent at Washington throws a little light upon the Hoke Smith resignation affair.to-day. He says: ‘The resignation story breaks out ‘afresh. The constant recurrence of the subject with Cleveland and Smith out of town an no nearer each Other than Bugzgard's Bay and the Glens of Western North Carolina, induces a belief that somebody must be taiking, and not only that, but writing let- ters. Hoke Smith's letter of resignation is in, there's no doubt of that, and Mr. Cleve- land has made some sort of written reply. “This is the conditipn of things,”’ said a . department gentleman high on the list. “Hioke Smith's resignation went in when his paper went for Bryan, but it was unt derstood to be more the offspring of a will- ingness on Hoke Smith's part to give Cleve- land a chance to get rid of him—should he 80 desire—with credit to all hands, than any fever to se on Hoke Smith's part. Cleveland's reply was.of a general sort, in no sénse an acceptance, rather, indeed, declining the theory that anything had or could occur to make a separation neces- sary. For my part, I don’t think Cleveland would care for y such éxhibition of a breaking up of the forces he has drawn about him go late in his day as Presiden and in time an object lesson of aid an ~*~ $ silver during the present campaign.” ith all deference to this department head it may be xy ! put down that Hoke Smith will formally leave the Cabinet the moment it brings its eight heads together again. Practically he has left it now. Hoke Smith recalls the Cabinet taki off of | Bissell and his sensibilities take A. lest there be some kettle of fish bubbling in this business of his own résignation, It has never been printed, though as a bit of Cabinet history, ‘many ut the Presi- | dent know that when it came Bissell‘s turn to g0, Cleveland spilled him from his place with courtesy as scant as might attend the eviction of a pup from a basket.

Shoes of all kinds, all styles, all prices, but all of first-class values, are now being sacrificed with an extreme view in mind, to give the people the most for the least money. The C. BE. Hilts Shoe Co, is now famous for thelr great shoe carnivals. Hardly a month goes by but that this great establish- ment captures some high grade stock from eome needy manufacturer or jobber, and by lending them a “helping hand” captures an invoice at less than cost of manufacture, giving the people an opportunity to purchase at amazingly low prices. Such a sale is now on at Hilts’ Big Shoe Emporium, and the great crowds attest the fact that the prices are gmall and the values are big. See their announcements in the Post-Dispatch—the story is told in dull, ~~ WHAT A FARMER SAW. The Remarkable Vision of One Moses Depue of New Jersey. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BHPLVIDDRE, N. J., Aug. 15.—The upper section of Warren County is exercised over an apparition that Moses Depue, a farmer of Pahaquary Township, saw a few days ago. He is a straight Methodist, and this aves additional credit to his statement. epue was fishing in the Delaware Rivar when he says he heard a sort of sweeping noise, as ough the wind were blowing among the trees. On looking up the river, he declares he saw an apparition that was a striking resemblance to the portrait of the Virgin Mary. A huge white cloud arose from the stream and its peculiar color at- tracted his attention. As it came up out of the water, apparently, it assumed the form of across. After rushing 30 feet in the air the cloud parted and the center was the form of a beautiful woman. Her face was radiant with light, and her dark brown hair fell in rich waves over her shoulders. The figure was robed in white, the garment Beeming to fall to her feet. The cloud moved slowly over the stream. As it ap- proached the New Jersey side, it became so dazzling that he was almost blinded. He fell to the bottom of the boat and quickly clasped his hands over his eyes. When he recovered the vision had disappeared. Depue quickly returned to his home and made known what he had seen to his friends who had to call a doctor to quiet him. Depue is not a drinking man, and as e sto is being retold there are many who belleve a he did see something out of the ordi- ary. KING OSCAR IS A GESSLER.

The officers of the State Committee and of the State @veague of Republican Clubs are preparing for a big crowd. Probably 10,000 people will flock into Chillicothe to attend the opening. How that many people can be actom- modated in so small a town as Chillicothe is a problem, but it is understood that the townspeople will open their doors and give the Republican hosts the freedom of the city. The action of the railroads in making only a one and one-third fare rate for the round trip will materially reduce the rep- resentation, especially from St. Louis. Instead of the 700 shouting members of the Merchants’ League Club, the ward clubs and the campaign clubs who were to go to Chillicothe’ carrying Chauncey I.

Carey, accuged of embezzling postal funds while here. The United States officials had a merry chase after Nellie. She is 18 years of age and quite pretty, besides being well formed and stylishly dressed. After her {indictment at Kempton she was released on bonds and left the village. De- tectives traced her to Bloomington, Chats- worth and Bryant, this State; Davenport, Io., and to St. Louls. Dvery Catholic instl- tution in St. Louis was visited, it being be- lieved she would seek refuge in one of them. She had left the Mound City and gone West: Day before yesterday the United States Marshall here received an anonymous letter from a person at Kansas City stating that Miss Carey was ‘visiting relatives near Knobnoster, Mo. The Federal officers at Kansas City were put on the case, and they succeeded in arresting her. She was taken before the United States Commissioner.at Clinton, Mo., and bound over to the Illinois Federal Court, in §$2, bonds. She was taken before Commissioner Kidd here and in default of bond was sent i | iss Carey states that she is innocent and can prove her assertion. She explained that she went from town to town to visit relatives and was not trying to evade arrest. Her relatives are of the best in Ford County, and her predicament has caused a great sensation. She will be tried next month before Judge Allen. The father of Miss Carey, Frank Carey, and John Goggins, arrived here at noon to- day and signed the bail bond, which released the prisoner from Jailer Feaster’s custody. The amount said to have been embezzled was $1,500, which has been made good to the Goverment by her bondsmen. Miss Carey claims that the money was lost while in transit to Chicago. PILLEY FOR STERRITT ‘De Ole Man’”’ Has Picked a Republic- an Candidate for Congress in the Twelfth. The Democrats of the Twelfth Congress- fonal District are greatly pleased with the existing condition of things political. Col. Robert Kern, the free silver nominee for Congress, has thus far a clear field and an easy fight. It is now known that Chauncey I. Filley has declined all overtures from the Com- fort-Frank committee. He proposes to run a candidaté of his own, Prank Sterritt is on the Filley slate, As for Maj. Charles E. Pearce the nominee of the Comfort-Frank faction, Mr. Filley proposes to treat him as a rank outsider, He will claim for Sterritt the right to go on the ticket as the regular nominee of the regular committee. This will take the.fight between the Republican factions before the Board of Election Commissioners. It will follow the ruling of the Republi- can National Committee and decide that Maj. Charles E. Pearce is the regular nominee of the Republicans. Then “De Boss” will go into the courts, for under the Missouri law if Sterritt is not declared the regular nominee he will have to go on the ticket by petition. ; ‘De Ole Man” knows by sad experience what that means. He made a race once for Mayor as an independent candidate. His votes were ‘‘scattering.”’ . If the Wall street ‘Democrats also con- clude to run a candidate in the Twelfth District, Col, Kern’s cup of political happi- ness will be running Over. With three candidates against him he can stump the State for the Democratic ticket. EX-CONFEDERATES’ PENSIONS. Arkansas Grants Amounts to Many Old Soldiers. . Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Out at the Keeley Institute in Kirkwood there is a Newfoundland dog that is con- sidered gar above the ordinary. His name is Jack, but the people of the town know him, better as “Keeley Jack” because he belongs at the Institute and seems to have no con- cern for anybody or anything in the suburb outside of that place, When he is not walking about the town with the patients he is with them at the club-house attached to the institution. His affectations start and end with the men who g0 there for. the laudable purpose of conquering their passion for drink end he cares naught for any one else. Jack Is a pore dog and he holds a high place in the estimation of every graduate turned out of the Kirkwood institute in the past four years. Little is known of Jack's history prior to his taking up his home in “Jagviile.” He came to Kirkwood with a couple of young lady visitors four years ago and chanced tu pass the Keeley Institute, Seated on a bench in front of the place at that time was a young man who had been going at a killing pace. A worse wreck had never before n received there for treatment. He was sick almost unto death, shaking from head to foot and almost on the verge of mania. He had gone far enough in the unequal conflict with “booze” to believe that he did not have a friend on earth. It was this picture of abject misery that confronted the big biack Newfoundland visitor when he passed the Institute. Jack seerned to realize the misery of the un- fortunate and his canine heart went out to him in his distress. Walking up to the sufferer Jack sniffed at his legs and then getting closer wagged his tail and licked [ the har.ds of the Keeley patient. Then he sat down alongside of him, seemingly re- solved to show the despairing young man that he had one friend, even though it was only a Newfoundland dog. From that day to this Jack has made the Keeley Institute his home and the patients are his friends and companions. About the fourth or fifth day following Jack's ar- rival his unfortunate friend was feeling much better and seemed to take more in- terest in life, all of which seemed to give the dog gatisfactio which he expre in his vwn i Just then another patient arrived in wood who had also been up against the stuff that and para- lyzes.

PERHAPS HE WAS JOLLYING. Hie Told the Woman’s Bryan Club That the McKinley “Ad.” Had Been Removed, but It Has Not. Perhaps Park Commissioner Ridgely was merely jollying the members of the Woman's National: Bryan-Sewall Club of St. Louis. Or maybe he has not that control over his subordinates at Forest Park the general public magined he had. Whatever the reason, Mr. Ridgely notified the Woman's National Bryan-Sewall Club yesterday that he had ordered that floral McKinley campaign advertisement removed, and when the matter was investigated the advertisement was found right where it had always been. The Woman's National Bryan Sewall Club of St. Louis had a business meeting at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. There was a '-jJarger attendance than had been had since the club was organized. It had been announced that the commit- tee 5 rag the week before to wait upon Mr. Ridgely about that McKinley advertise- ment, would report and every member of the club was anxious to hear about ijt. The report of the committee was the first L. Werth, as presi- dent, had called the meeting to order and the minutes of the previous meeting had been approved. As chairman of the committeé, Mrs. Josie i. Fowler Tabour presented its report. She described the visit with Mrs. Calkins and Mra. h of the committee to Mr. office, Friday, as . narrated Post-Dispatch. Friday evening, . Tabour stated, she had received the following note from the Park Commis- sioner: ST.’ LOUIS, Mo.,’ Aug. 14, 1896. Mrs. Josie L.

J. Bryan in flowers, Mr. Ridgely had e piained that the season was too far ad- vanced. Mrs. Tabour thought that the club should feel gratiies because it won its fight on a principle and the other members of the club agreed with ‘her. When Mrs... Tabour had concluded there was a wild outburst’ of applause and cheers were indulged in by eome of the more demonstrative members of the club. Mr. Ridgely had not waited for the formal demand to be made upon him from the club. Having read in the Post-Dis- patch of the action taken on Saturday, Aug. 8, he had hastenéd to anticipate the formal request. It was undoubtedly a victory for the Woman's National Bryan-Sewall Club of St. Louis. re But, alas! As soon as it became known that al.

The club also appointed a Committee on Organization, consisting of Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Blankenship and Mrs. Calkins, a com- mittee to select a club emblem, cons:sting of Mrs. G. L. Werth, Miss Lulu M. Collins and Mrs. Mary E. Hadlock, and a committee to arrange for a public meeting Monday evening, Aug. 2%, consisting of Mrs, A. Bevill, Mrs. J. L. F. Tabour and Mrs. N. Conkling. It was decided to undertake the organiza- tion of an independent colored woman's club, and Mrs. Calkins was directed to present @ plan at the next meeting. The club decided to. tender a public re- ception to Wm. J. Bryan and Mrs, Bryan on the occaégion of their visit to St. Louis. Before the club adjourned Mrs. N.

It will not be in St. Louis this year. Ar- rangements had been made to show here in July, but the managers to change their route, so St. Louis will not see the circus until next season. Mr. Ringling now says that could he have known how quickly the city re- covered from the disaster his show would surely have come. . Probably if he could have realized how popular his big circus is with St. Louis people he would have come anyhow. MAUERER’S CONTEMPT TRIAL. Judge Murphy Will Render a Decision in the Case To-Morrow. C. G. Mauerer, a Four Courts attorney, had a hearing before Judge Murphy in the Court of Criminal Correction yesterday on a charge of contempt of ceurt. Mrs. Lucinda Loving, who had employed Mauerer to prosecute her husband for as- sault and battery, was tHe principal wit- ness. : It appears that the case was first set for July and continued until August 6. When the case was called on the last named day the witnesses were absent. Attach- ments were issued for them and fines for contempt of court entered against them, They pleaded in extenuation that they left the court room at Mauerer’s suggestion and were innocent of contempt. Mrs, Loving testified that she was in court August 6 to testify when Mauerer ap- proached her and gave her $10 which he told her her husband had sent her, but if she staid in the court room until her name was called and testified against her hus- band she would have to return the $10. On her attorney’s advice, testified Mrs. ing, she left the court room. Her state ment was corroborated by two other wit- nesses. Mauerer took the stand in his own behalf and‘ admitted giving the woman the $10, but denied that it was given ‘to keep her out of court. As for advising her to leave the room he thinks Mrs. Loving:is mis- taken. She approached him, so he says and told him that court had adjourned without disposing of her case. Mauerer says he then told her if court was ad- journed she could go. Three colored attorneys testified to hav- ing heard Mauerer tell the woman not to | go until she was discharged. Judge Murphy announced he would re- serve his decision in the case until Mon. day. A WOMAN TREASURER. Under a Recent Opinion She Can Be One in Illinois. | Special to the Post-Dispatch.

LITTLE GEORGE THOMAS KILLED BY A SOUTHWESTERN CAR. ‘HE WAS TERRIBLY MANGLED. ‘The Car Had Just Started, but the Fender Was So Worthless It But Added to His Injuries. “T'll not go far, papa,” said 56-year-old George Thomas, as he tripped out of his father’s grocery store at 3205 South Seventh street yesterday about 1 o'clock. Five minutes later the little fellow was brought back into the store a mass of to Miss Lulu M. Collins, Secretary of the | “That is all right,’’ said Mrs. Tabour, “Tt . the city last season. The circus"is now in Jl-'! the disastrous tornado caused | Lov- Mr. inquire | crushed bones and the brains oozing out- of his broken and bleeding head. The double tracks of the Southwestern Electric Railway take up nearly the width of narrow Seventh street at this point and little George had run across to the east side of the street to join several other children. Something attracted his attention and he turned to recross to the west side. | Car No. 15 was just starting from its stop at the corner to let a passenger off and had Scarcely moved its length when the fender struck the lad, knocked him down and rolled him along the uneven bowlders for about thirty feet before the motorman brought the car to a standstill. The screams ‘of the child, who was being ground to death, attracted his elder brother, heodore, who was standing in his father’s store, and also the father, Louis Thomas, who was behind the counter. A moment later the motorman, conductor and several bystanders were pushing the cruel car backward and Theodore, snatch- ing up his wounded brother, started with him to the store. The father met them, and | taking the idol of his home in his arms, | rushed up the stairway, and into the bed- room, where his wife was. The mother swooned as she caught sight of her mangled and bleeding child, but only for a moment, and revived to bend her ten- _derest energies to save his life. A few minutes later Dr. H. Shomber, of ‘3131 Suuth Seventh street, was bending over ' the little sufferer examining his injuries, but | Re saw that the child was dying, and that he could do nothing to alleviate his suf- fering. | Twenty minutes from the time the car | struck the child he was a corpse. ' Capt. Young of the Second District Po- 'liee Station had dispatched an officer to the scene, and after taking the names and ad- dresses of the motorman and conductor, | they were permitted to proceed south with the car. | Th e conductor is Edward Brewer of 3319 | South Seventh, and the motorman is Samuel P. Matlock of 38018 South Seventh street, both neighbors to Thomas. Dr. Shomber’s examination of the child’s injuries showed that his skull had been hor- ribly crushed, his left arm and leg broken and the chest bone mashed in. Louis Thomas, father of the child, keeps a grocery store at the above number and his family lived over the store. Little George, who had just finished his lunch, ‘came downstairs with his father and ran | out in the street to join his next door play- 'mates who were playing across the street, | As stated the car had stopped to let a passenger off, and as the motorman turn- |ed on the power and the car started forth 'the unfortunate child with his head turn- ed south ran across the tracks in the di- rection of his father’s store. The fenders on the Southwestern Com- ‘pany’s cars have no more resemblance to an invention supposed to be specially made for life-saving than a catapult. The fender is nothing more than about a dozen heavy iron laths, straight as arrows and turned up at the end in a kind of roll that would make them strike an object bluntly instead of driving a hole through it. The fender is about six inches from the ground, and is so heavy and unbending that the only possible service it could do is to knock the life out of any breathing thing it strikes when the car is in motion. Motorman Matlock was greatly grieved over the awful mishap and said that t was impossible for him to check the car sooner, In fact, as the wheels responded to the first touch of power the child was right in front of the fender,. and it knocked him ' down. Neither the conductor nor the motorman were arrested, but they, with several others, were instructed by the officers to attend the inquest, which will be held by the Coroner to-day. RAISED HER ANTE. Tubbs Insists That He Should Have the Divorce. Samuel R. Tubbs, whose wife, Etta BD., is suing him for divorce, alleging cruelty and desertion, raises her ante and goes her a whole stack of blue chips better. He says she ordered him to leave her; re- fused to prepare his meals or do his wash- ing; declined to let him occupy her room, and so filled the house with “‘roomers’’ that he had to sleep on a chair in the winter season and caught cold in consequence. When he couldn’t get work she kicked and wher he got work she demurred to the amount of his wages. More than that, for an entire year she tried to force him to leave her and threatened to poison him if he did not do so. The premises considered, Mr. Tubbs meekly suggests that he is the one who ought to have the divorce and the custody of the daughter, a child of 13. The parties were married June, 1881, and lived together until May last. The coming wedding season will find the E. Jaccard Jewelry Co., Olive and Sixth sts., fully prepared to show the most ar- tistic designs in jewelry, silverware, cut | glass, bronzes and bric-a-brac ever seen in 'St. Louis. Mr. A. L.

The campaign song, ‘““No Crown of Thorns, No Cross of Gold,” a paraphrase of Bryan's great speech at Chicago, written by Mrs. H. D.

BRANDT Sh DUESTROW VERY ILL.| The Double Murderer Has a High Fe- ver and Dr. Kearney Says That He May Die. Arthur Duestrow is a very sick man. He is confined to his cot in his cell, and if his | condition does not improve he will be re moved to the City Hospital for treatment. The disadvantages of being iH in jail are many. Duestrow experienced some of them yesterday. During the afternoon Dr, John Simon, the insanity expert, was called to the jail to see him. He was admitted to Duestrow's cell, where the prisoner was in . The physician found his patieht suffering from a high fever. His temperature regis- tered 1033-5 de His condition was serious. Dr. Simon said he must be trans- ferred to the City- Hospital. He left in a half hour, and returned with a lot of powd- ers. He told the guard he wanted to hand them in to Duestrow. He labeled them as medicine, and said it was imperative that the prisoner patient should have them. A rule of the jail is that no drugs shall be given prisoners except on the prescrip- tion of the regular city physician. Dr. Simon ts not the city’s physician. Dr. Kearney, a physician at the City Dispensary and representing Dr. Jordan, the chief physician; called at the jail at the request of Dr. Simon and found the conditions of Duestrow’s illness the same as represented by Simon. Dr. Kearney examined the powders and found that they were proper for the ail- ment, but the regulations of the jail even forbid him passing into a prisoner the drugs prescribed by an outside doctor. He therefore wrote the prescription over again, sent it to the city pharmacy and the new wders were deiivered to the patient behind the bars. The object of this was to prevent any nar- cotic or other similar a which the pow- ders may have cohtained, being given the prisoner. Dr. Kearney was seen by Will Wagner, the deputy jailer, and #tp~s asked what he thought of Duestro fliness. The physi- cian said that the prisoner was a very sic man and that if t h' were known he is likely to die. He has a high fever and has been unable to eat anything for a week. Wagner reported the condition of the con- demned murderer to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Bishop, who will see te it that Duestrow is not removed from the jail un- less his condition warrants It.

DITION DURING THE SESSION. THE AMERICAN THEOSOPHISTS. Their Crusade Attracts the Attention of Great Britain and Results in Many Conversions. LONDON, Aug. 15.—Parliament closes up to-day in a more lively and spirited manner than has any session for years. In the whole Parliament the mana who has most bettered himself is Tim Healy. He began the session as one of John Dil- lon's 71 followers, and he ends it as the leader of his own party, and has about 25 followers. ' Ited@s sald that the Irish convention which meets in Dublin on August 27th is destined to be a fizzle. Neither the Parnellites nor the Healyites wil! attend, so the whole Object of the convention is thwarted. Mr. lon expects, if the Parnellites and other factionists do not attend, that they will be put in an awkward mora! position on the ground that when a reunion of the different ee ae — Irish party was attempted ut. they st Teantime Ireland is rfect) ull and continues steadily hiprovinc, there have been good and the peasantry are of the Irish political prison- er, Devaney and White- , 4, been another dis. | bury drove te the castle in a four-horse | nod.” The same thing was done in the : | slums of Liver Carriage from Walmer at 11:30 and the uaint ceremony of the installation was per- ormed by the Barons of the Ports in the banqueting hall The Marquis then went St. Mary’s Church, where he attended ne service, and was afterwards present at an imposing military and civil procession. Later he pro- ceeded to the College close, where, in a large marque, the seneschal read the proc- lamation. The Marquis then announced that he d been nominated by the Queen for the office of Lord Warden of the C.nque Ports, and he summoned the Court of Shepway,. according to ancient customs and a salute of nineteen guns was fired. Finally the Marquis of Salisbury unveiled & bust of Lord ufferin, his predecessor as Lord Warden of e Cinque Ports in the Town Hall. The town was profusely dec- orated for the occasion. Lord Dufferin, the Mayors of all the Ports and a large assemblage of members of the aristocracy were present at the cer- emonies. The little band of American crusaders for theosophy is receiving considerable at- tention in the columns of the English newspapers and have given the Irish press an entirely new theme for dfscussion. Shortly after landing the Americans ut- tered a prophecy that Ireland was soon to become the ruler of Europe and that the ancient glories of that mystic island would be restored; also tit the theosophists in- tended to establish a branch of the pro- osed American college of occultism there. he Irish newspapers are evidently pleased with the idea and some of the principal papers of Dublin and elsewhere have thrown open their columns for its dis- cussion, The crusaders heave certainly proven « surprise. When ft was at first announced that eight Americans were going to insti- tute a crusade which would not stop un- til the globe had been girdled, it was not re- ceived seriously. But what the ty lacks in numbers it makes up in eosophica] oa. Arriving at London, the little party en- gaged the Queen's Hall and held a meeting there. The women sat on the stage in flow- ing white robes and the men in evening ress. ’ This meeting was followed by an invention called a “Brotherhood supper,”’ held in the slums. dock laborers, rT] i a—_ ’ : balk x a eek PY RY Ty et ¥ “i 4 - % ae - 2 eae fi Lp : ; © aay A) re Newer + a Yd & rxX oe “ie L see r Te Ba . y > “ ‘ ' = sma Amarchiste, bd at yuh ep gl mon were , given a talk on “Brother- in SPORE DAO TED OO EERR OE Re ee pool. The Rev. W. Williams, ea chaplein in the British army, joined the “Crusade.” In Dublin a convention of the whole The- osophical Society In Europe was called. The society in Europe, it appears, boasts of some distinguished adherents. Among them are Prof. Crooke, the English chemist, who invented the Crooke “ray tube;’’ Camille Flammarion, the French astronomer. It . nate that Mrs. Benson, wife of the Arch- sho joined the Theosophists recently. In a few days the party will leave Ireland for Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris. The in- tention to visit every European capital and Rome itself is to be “‘stormed.”’ Leaving Europe, the crusaders will go to Malta and Egypt, then to Australia, New Zealand and Asia. The return is to be by way of San Francisco about March. The annual summer quiet has fallen upon London theaters. But five of the leading places of amusement are now open and the actors are scattered far and wide upon their summer vacations. WILLIAM WANTS ST. THOMAS.

Tuesday morning the Democratic Judicial Convention for the setection of a candidate for Judge of the St. Louis G@urt of Appeals will be called to order at Uhrig’s Cave Hall. The proceedings will be opened by Thomas BE. Barrett, Chairman of the Judicial Com- mittee, and after the organization there will be a battle royal for the nomination be- tween Judge C. C. Bland of Rolla, Mo., Maj. J. B. Dennis of Cape Girardeau, Judge J. Wesley Booth of Union, Franklin County, and Judge Cloud of Greene. The last named only recently entered the race, but it is claimed he will go in the con- vention with not tess than twenty votes. The district includes the City of St. Louis and about one-half of the State.

There will be 257 del ance and the candidate who can comman 129 votes will carry off the nomination. The Democrats have never lost the distric since the new lines were established, an there is a feeling of confidence among the leaders that gt will be Democratic in No- vember. Eight years ago Judge W. . Biggs of Pike County carried it by a large ma or and so did Judge Henry . Bond of St. Louis four years ago, The Judges of the Appeals Court serve twelve years, and the lawyers consider it a very desirable bench to occupy. The race is a very close one, and it may take a@ number of ballots to make a selec- tion, The St. Louis vote will determine the contest, and the friends of the candi- Gates are working hard with the city dele- gates. The city will have 69 delegates In the convention, more than one-fourth of the total number. Unless some dark horse comes forward at the last minute the city will present no candidate. St. Louis was given the vacancy four years ago, and there seems to & disposition to let the country have it this time. The candidates are all represented b friends, who are claiming everything favorites. It looks like Judge C. C, Bland, a brother of “Silver Dick” Biland, will lead on the first ballot. He has been on the Circuit bench in the Rolla circuit for twelve years and has made a good recofd., Maj. Dennis stands high in the profession in Southeast Missouri and will have his locality strongly supporting his candidacy. Judge Booth is also the proud possessor or of an excellent record and a high standing in the legal profession. He was given much prominence recently by his associa- tion with Gov. Johnson in the Duestrow case. The vote of 6t. Louis will be scattered on the first ballot, but the friends of Judge Bland claim they will get the bulk of i on the second and third. The other candi- dates have friends in the delegation who will carefully guard their interests. ajor Dennis spent the greater part of last week in the city seeing his friends in the St. Louis delegation, and Judge Booth arrived yesterday and went to work at once.

Rode in Old-Time Form—How- ard and McCarthy Distin- guished Themselves. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 15.—The L. A. W. Nationul Méet came to a close this after- noon in an ugly wrangle over the five-mile national champlonantp. It was a scrap from i ng to end, oSfnere waa no end of jockeying, and at one time Cooper and Bald had their hands off their handle bars grasping at and pushing each other, imperiifing the Lves of a dosen or more contestants. Cooper and Calla- han finished in the first division, but were disqualified, the race going to W. E. Becker of Minneapolis, first, E. 5. Acker of Phila- delphia second, Nat Butler third. This race was the last on the card, the last of the meet. It was called in the face of an approaching storm, but before the race had well begun it became stormier even then the warring elements overhead. Nearly all of the big men of the game started, for the trial heats were omitted and the entry left to the election of the riders. Tom Butler and Ziegler stayed out, but Cooper, Gardiner, Bald, Coburn and the others made a representative string. A triplet, manned by Schrein and the two Johnsons, was in to pace, When the men broke for the machine, Callahan waited and hooked on, although the machine got away so slowly that half the field bunched in front of it before there was any semblance of the usual formation in a paced event. Gardiner went to the front, with Bald, Cooper and Jack Coburn, and dropped back, catching the machine afterwards. This was but the signal for one after another of the contestants to ; head, some catching successfully an ing to make good thelr game. Whilst this was going on Cooper and Bald came to- gether, Cooper elbowing his great antag- onist, while the Buffalonian adopted sim- ilar tactics and reached out viciously for his successful rival. Trouble kept up through the balance of the ride, and the grand stand manifested its displeasure b hissing every time the bunch came around, The consequence of the final sprint was ‘that Cooper won out, with Becker a length Callahan in third place. Aker of hia and Nat Butler were un- nishing as named, but when the protesting and wrangling was over Cooper and Callahan had been disqualified and the championship went to Becker, Aker takiag second and Nat Butler third. Gardiner and Bald came in as named in Butler's reas. The time for the five miles was back an Philadel placed, Up to the time of this unpleasant affair, the featureof the day and of the meet so far was the victory of Sanger in the 2-mile handi- cap for professionals. If any one doubted “Wooden S§Shoe’s’’ popularity he should have heard the crowd cheer him when he scored his first and only victory of the meet- ing and seen his enthusiastic friends :shoul- der him and carry him bodily from the track. The Milwaukeean has played in hard luck, but he retrieved himself, riding the event in his old-time form and winning in a driving sprint that carried him around the bunch as though hewas trying to run circles about them. Sanger had scratch with Kennedy, Louie Calla- han and Eaton just ahead of him, and these four succeeded in getting together early in the game. Callahan paced for the first half mile and then Sanger came up. The result was that he caught the big bunch ahead. The field at once slow- ed down and the en loafed anae for nearly a mile, with Van Herik out in front, then E. C, Johnson and then Callahan. Sanger got down to his work just as the bell tapped, swinging arene with his high ear with an increasing stride that brought im at evens with the head of the bunch before the final jump started. The Big Fellow had been beautifully pock- eted on the back stretch, and his admirers in the grandstand went wild with enthusi- asm as his manuever was successfully worked. Callahan was still at the head of the bunch, with Kennedy lapping his wheel ' from the outside, and as Sanger went by Kennedy left the diminutive Buffalonian and went after him. The Big Fellow’s jump was too strong, however, and Sanger came in the winner by all of a length. Ken- nedy barely saved second, for Callahan was — ome with = oy —— sprint, speeding acr e ta nches onl to the bad. wy = 7 In the final of the mile open Allen was ven the pole, while at his right were Tom utler, Bald, MoFarland, Willie Coburn, Loughead, Rigby, Sanger, Acker, Gardiner, Kennedy and Schrein. In the first lan Ken. nedy went up with Tom Butler, Bald and Allen trailing him. The second time around Bald was at the front, with Rigby, Kennedy and McFarland for company. In the third lap Kennedy got to the front again, with McFarland and Willie Coburn up. Sanger was well in the rear, with Gardiner safely on for a sleigh ride, and foxy little Tom- mie Butler just as safe on Gardiner’s rear, when the “Big Fellow’ prepared for his “quad” act. - The crowd was looking for something of this sort, and as Sanger commenced cut- ting down Kennedy’s lead a shout went up from 5,000 throats. At the middle of the last turn the Milwaukeean was a half dozen lengths back of first place with Gardiner still clinging to him, but Butler had been lost in the drive and was out of it.

. PROFITABLE »» GRAND LARCENY AND MUCH SAFER. EVERY EDGE CUTS FOR HIM. The City Pays $160,000 a Year in Or- der That a Philanthropist May Prosper. There is a fable by Aesop which tells of a certain pond which was the abode of frogs who had for many generations been happy and contented until one day they asked Jove to give them a king, which he eventually did by throwing them & log. After a little this became too tame for them and they asked Jove for another king in place of the lag. Jove became en: raged and sent them a long, lean, hungry stork with vitals especially adapted to the *% digestion of frogs. revious to 1891 the City of St. Louis had a log named Jim Hardy who used to gather up the slop after a the river aod collect therefor sums rang- ing from $18,000 to $20,000 a year. Jim Hardy made money at that, and owns houses in Cabanne place now, also a large livery stable with all the’ necessary &c¢- cessories. The people’s representatives were not sat- isfied wi Jim Hardy and the way he athered up the slop, so they listened to a fot of oe ae who were interested in the welfare of the city, and began to study the Merz system of reducing garbage. Jaunts were taken in Pullman cars with _ bouffets and beer and other things to visit places where t! ere were Merz process works already in operation. They were taken in and allowed to emell the smell that did not exist. They were shown how the most foul smelling slop could made clean and odoriess by simply dumping it in a hole in the floor, and then pushing a button or something. The people’s representatives came back to St. Louis and sat down in the halls of leg- isiation and made new laws. They aboi- ished Jim Hardy and his old-time practices and took up with no less a personage than the brother-in-law of Jim Hardy, Col. Ed- ward Butler, who was also a philanthro- pist, with the interest of the city at heart. The plans began assume a definite shape and to crystallize into a system of “Merz” process uction works to which the city slop should go and be converted into fertil which should, therefore, be the property of Col. Edward Butler to sell ve away, as he naw fit. Hardy was not allowed to collect the any more. It was decided that should collect it for himself so lass botiles or other foreign mat- ter should mingle with the slop and injure its quality and grade as a base for fer- tilizer. Col. Butler was, of course, to be paid money for delivering the stuff to himself in such quantities and in such shape as it should suit him. After he had been paid for deliv it to himself he was to be aid for receiving it and kindly reducing it nto an cle of commercial value from va, 3 might derive much profit and w eee 1890, the wi On November 14, City of St. Louls th the St.Louis ions of an ordinance numbered 15,718.

Butler has been furnished by the city. Under the first of the two sections given the city, feeling it its duty to collect all the slop, hired Col. Butler to do it. He was to be aid, of course, s0 a contract was duly drawn by the Health Depart- ment, whereby Col. Butler was to be given something more. The contract is for five from July 19, 1898, and for each year of the five Col.

Corn Sells Lower Than Ever Before— Oats Show Weakness—Codtton Holds Firm—Flour Dull ——eee eee ee The situation in wheat is bullish enough, but there is one essential ingredient lack- ing. That is confidence, and a very lack- ing essertial that is. If the trade could, only be assured that panicky financial conditions would not be sprung upon them there undoubtedly would be many who would be eager to invest in the long side. But so long as capital, in its attempt to | bulldoze the country and carry its bluff | through against the silver movement, 50 long as it can manipulate the money mar- ket, the friends of wheat are frightened off, and thero is not the necessary specula- tive backing to the long Side. conditions whith actually exist in wheat asserted themselves so strongly that they took .the market and ran away with it, forcing shorts to cover and encouraging some investment buying. Last Thursday September sold as low as 553%,c and Decem- ber was offered at 59%c, but on the follow- ing day were 57%c@%c and 61\%c respective- y. At close there were sellers at 57c for September and 60%c for December, which were lc for September and %&c for Decem- ber below the preceding Saturday. * * The tight money market is the “bogie man’ that creates most uneasiness. No- where does this appear to be so pronounced as in Chicago. he banks of that city ap- ferent received such a blow through the oore failure at they find themselves un- able to recover from it. Attempts to bor- row money in St. Louis, the East and else- where have so far been unsuccessful, and the situation in the Windy City has a bad appearance. The fact that the Northwest- ern spring wheat crop is nearly ready to be marketed complicates matters. The future of the market for some time at least promises to be chiefly controlled by this movement to market of the '% spring wheat crop. If the shortage proves to be proportionately as large as that in winter wheat, which is steadily asserting itself, then tight money or no tight money, finan- cial manipulation or no manipulation, the bullish situation will assert itself and ad- vance prices sharply _ ama decidedly. But if there is the free ovement to market that the Northwest crop usually starts with and money is difficult to borrow, the effect may be depressing for a time. For a time only, as the result will be carrying charge differences between months attractive enough to attract capital. Money can al- ways be obtained when you can pay enough for it and give good security. And what bet- ter security can capital ask for than wheat? 7. The shortage in the wheat crop of the world and the shortage In the world’s stock of breadstuffs this season is sure to assert itself in time. The world’s production is surely 200,000,000 bu less than last year and aeage sd more than that, and, according to the Chicago Trade Bulletin, the world’s stock of breadstuffs is 34,000,000 bu smaller than a year ago. That the foreign trade the strength that generally marks their markets and the quickness with which they respond to advances in prices or bullish ad- vices from this country. Exporting coun- ping so little to Europe, as compared with previous years, that the weekly amounts set afloat are measuring over 2,000,000 bu are steadily decreasing. A decrease is alto- gether probable in the next report on ‘ocean wheat,” and with the reduction in the American visible may have a pro- nounced effect abroad. + 7 - The St. Louis bears who will “monkey with the buzz-saw,” which this season means standing short the current month, appear to be up against it good and hard this month. They thought August receipts would be so large that it was a snap to sell and stay by their sales, or sell] August in St. Louis and buy the September option in Chicago or near at the same price. They did not know that comparatively little red win- be received as the result of great dam- age by rains to wheat in the shock, and that a very considerable proportion of the re- ceipts would be hard winter, which is not now desirable upon contract in this market. — —_ yg ew to 3 shorts have been tied up tight and fas Whether there will be a “corner” is a tn tion.

Outside one day, when low grades suffered a severe break in price, the cash market has been enerally an excellent one for soft winter. “specially was No. 2 red sought after, Au- gust shorts taking all they could get, and millers and shippers purchasing it, so that its price held far above other grades.

Although a moderate amount of business was acomplished, the prices re- ceived were bad, as sales were generally forced. There is no territory where St. Louis flour nas the call and the market is still decidedly at a disadvan in com- petition with country mills, who have cheaper wheat and equal freight rates. The dull times in general, no doubt, have a good deal to do with the slowness of trade. Another depressing factor is the depres- sion in the price of the offal—bran is selling for less than one-half of what it was one year ago and shipstuff for still less..

Private wire to A. C. Petri. NPW YORK, Aug. 15.—Our market to-day ‘has been quieter and steadier than for some days past. Opening quotations were easier, in response to a rather disappointing Liver- pool, where there was a decline of from one to four points. Prices subsequently im- proved slightly and finally closed some- what under the highest figures of the day, at from one to five points over yesterday’s final figures. The business during to-day’s short session has been comparatively small and chiefly local in character. Both sides are apparently hesitating and awaiting fur- | ther developments. Crop accounts continue gloomy, but the movement of the new crop promises to be heavy in the near fu- ture. Whether this will have any depréSsing effect upon values or not remains to. be seen. Although there does not appear to be any pronounced sentiment on the floor of the Exchange with regard to the future course of prices, the coRgeequences appeared eo be rather in favor of somewhat lower prices in view of the probability of a very heavy early movement of the new crop. The declining tendency of the crop continues from day to day and would appear to place the crop in a position where it will be diffi- cult for the damage to be materially re- paired, even with the most favorable wea- ther conditions. The strength of the posi- tion of cotton is gradually attaining some outside attention and unless the drought is soon relieved by cop.ous rains we shail un- questionably see a broader speculation.

The past several years brought about serious and innumer- able losses that form a strong contrast with the results this year. The very hot weath- er was doubtless a factor in the case. The favorable weather, cqupled with a light crop, made a combina the dealers may not strike soon again. - . * The fruit and produce operators here have doubtless much less grounds for com- plaint than exists elsewhere. A private let- ter received yesterday from one of the leading commission houses of South Water street, Chicago, says among other things: ; Trade flat.” “I never saw it worse’— ess than ialf what it wis a year go. Where, oh where, is any margin, or even expense money.’’ Similar news comes from St. Paul, with the intimation that one or two of their firms may have to throw up the sponge in the near future. Letters from other cities are somewhat similar in con- tents. : ~ * The discovery made lately by an eminent scientific gentleman that a man who will confine himself to fruits for a regular diet should live to the age of 200 years, should be of immense advantage to the fruit trade and to the producers generally. Yet there are some discouraging features to consider. Who, for instance, would not sympathize with the young man embarking in the business who had to buck against a con- cern or man who had been in the business 100 or 150 years. Capital could not hold out long against so much experience in the business. * * a The Olden Fruit Co. of Olden, Mo., which owns and operates the largest orchards in this State, announces in a circular to the trade that they are ready to commence loadmg peaches and will have 250 to 300 cars to dispose of between this time and the middle of October.

The weather, how- ever, has been so hot.and unfavorable for such a perishable article that considerable of the shipments so far have not exceeded eight or express charges. - - ” Under date of August 13 and 14 advices come from sevéral of the grape shipping points in Western New York stating that they will commence shipping early varieties of grapes about the 20th of Aygust, and Con- cords on or about the 10th of September. The crop is reported large, excellent in quality, and very promising up to this time, and the growers and associations are exer- cising themselves over the proper distribu- tion of the fine crop in sight. he yy generally realize that they will have to face a formidable competition in the big crops of other frults, which are quite general. How neatly a man can be squeezed on a trade was illustrated last week down at the watermelon tracks by one of the nicest and smoothest buyersinthecrowd. After driv- ing a very close bargain such as a man can secure on a dull and declining market, he disappeared. That afternoon he came back to the seller looking as mournful as a hearse driver, and handing him back the expense can’t use thatcar. It I got Into it and ex- amin , ,as if disposed to be clever and liberal, he offered to take it at $5 less than the original price. The seller for awhile was disgusted, but finally yielded wholly unaware of the fact that the car had already been shipped out and rolling rapidly cowarea another market. ‘ The policy of the railroads penetrating the Southwest is at present exposed to a good deal of unfavorable criticism. Rates are now exacted that were in operation when prices for potatoes, cabbage, apples and similar products were nearly double what they are at present. Immense crops in this section might be moving out every day in liberal quantities if the roads would only make some reasonable concessions. When the Florida orange crop froze, the railroads, with surprisiag promptness, ¢s- tablished half rates for the removal o the crop. The wisdom of this step was soon apparent, as hundreds of car loads went out to the various markets of the country that could not stand the regular tariff. The railroads of the Southwest aro now depriving themselves of a gr of business om 8t. Louis. A representative of a produce house here who has just returned from a protrac trip, beginning in Florida, next to Georgi and finally Southeast Missouri, in search 0 watermelons, declares that the owers in Florida and orgia are thoroughly di st- ed with their experience this season. ta pears nearly all the melons were either soid on track or had liberal advances made on them through local or traveling agents, while some sales were made direct by wire. The amounts advanced or sums representing purchase money were rarely spot cash— drafts bein iven in most cases against shipments. ft further appears from the ob- servations of this gentleman that the most of these drafts were ignored or turned down, the melons taken and sold, and in numerous instances not a dollar in the way of net pro- ceeds was sent to the shipper. Of course it may have been that many of these cars sold for about freight and commissions, or were not as good or fresh stock as was looked for, or melons too =e "4 too light—the cus- excuses offered. tonertain it is that the disappointment to the shippers has been such that these various firms who received and sold these melons and dishoriored the drafts made inst such goods can get no more shipments from le or their respective shipping he turning down of all these so universal nor was the to any one, maces os = e seemed to awa ese .dra a nate.

The Crop Outlook Which Is Given Will Materially Affect the Stock Market. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—This week has seen a change for the better in financial sentiment. The unreasoning liquidation of the previous week has been noticeably ab- erators are disposed to expect something of a technical traders’ market for awhile, that is, a market with frequent ups and downs. The elements of a genuine boom are absent. There have been some evidehces A, port by the larger controlling interests in certain stocks. This helped turn the mar- ket and the bears themselves may be said to have done all the rest in their efforts to cover their short contracts. Some out- side demand has been noticed, but it has been small. This is a somewhat de- pressing feature of the situation, . A favorable feature is that tte weaker holders of stocks have probably been gener- ally shaken out by the radical declines of last week, thereby rendering it more diffi- cult to start a renewal of liquidation. The announcement of the closing of a bank temporarily unsettled values for a short time one day this week, but the market stood the news very well. London has traded professionally, but vate cable advices indicate that the pu abroad was to hold aloof from vestments. An early weaker ket for the internationally there, was'a subsequent rally the encouraging remarks of Mr. four the House of Commons, relative to out- look for a satisfactory settlement the Venezuelan dispute. . . The o@tlook for crops is of such im- portance in its bearing on the general wel- fare of the country that a few words in regard to it are not out of place, and espe- cially in view of the publication this week of the usual government mont report. The report of the Department of Agricul- ture indicates a spring wheat crop of about 145,500,000 bushels, as compared with last year’s crop of 209,400, bushels, a reduc- tion of a little less than one-third. The in- dicated crop of winter wheat is 262,100,000, or a little more than last year’s, of 257,700,000, Expert returns indicate that in quality both the winter and spring crops will be The oats crop will show a con shortage as compared with last year, as well as being Ping in quality. Last year’s was 824,000,000, while this year’s crop but 661,700,000. The corn crop incioatione are for an enor- mous crop. st year’s ree reached the tremendous total of 2,151,000, bushels, but iy Be. figures indicate a yleld of 600, bushels, provided no deterioration oc- curs before the harvest. While considerable damage has bee A rs = to the growing cotton through drought the Southwest, the outlook indicates a re 4 larger than last year. Indications point over 8,000, bales. Under ordinary conditions, with no such disturbing factor as politics, the crop Fe- turns would exert an important influence on the stock market. As it is they have been scarcely spoken of. In the case of cotton, as is usual when a medium crop follows a small one, a coming crop is likely to be marketed a comparatively high prices. So far as grain prices are concerned, they are low, and in the case of corn and oats at New York, they have this week been at the lowest on record, On their bearing upon the pros- passty of the corn-carrying roads these ow prices are not favorable. With anoth- er great crop of corn in sight, the price of corn seems ony likely to advance, making it the more difficult to obtain ts, n listed shares rates for moving the crop.

This is the man that Mr. Charles Tur- ner, President of the Suburban Railway, and Mr. John Jannopoulo, manager of the beer garden at the end of tirat line, have chosen to preserve order at that resort. Hanson is licensed as a special watch- man and is also commissioned a deputy constable. He wears a uniform, with a big metal star pinned on hfs breast, and carries a club and two loaded revolvers. He has charge of the beer garden police at Wells Station, the end of the Suburban | railway, and is paid jointly by the railway company and by the beer garden. Although the beer garden is managed by Jannopoulo, pany has an interest in it. police are expected to preserve order in the garden and to prevent péople leaving it except on the cars of the Surburban Rail- way. A tall picket fence surrounds the beer garden. The street cars run into the in- closure and around a loop. The only place of egress is the railw Persons who attemp alk out over the railway tracks are ‘clubbed by the private police and compelled to get on a car. No one can leave the garden unless they take a@ street car of the Suburban Railway. Scores of men who have attempted to walk out have Been clubbed by the beer garden police, taken ten miles out in the county to the little village of Florissant, locked in a calaboose over night and been compelled to pay a fine and costs, amounting from $20 to $30, the following morning. Many others have been treated tn the game brutal way without apparent provo- cation. Several days ago the Post-Dispatch gave 17 separate cases in which respectable citizens had been siugged by Hanson and. prosecuted by him before Justice Belleville, the magistrate and the beer garden police sharing the money they get from the unfor- tunate victims between them. So outrageous have been the aessaults committed at the beer garden under cover of the law that the Post-Dispatch was impelled to make a searching investigation. It has now discovered that the chief of the beer garden armed thugs—Hahson—is a hoodlum who was once convicted in the Criminal Court in this city of burglary. The records of the Police Department show that he served three years in the Missouri State Penitentiary. The private He was ‘arrested on Veiled Prophet's might, in October, 1881, by Special Officer Mathew Kiely, now Assistant Chief of Po- lice, and Patrolman Michael O'Malley, now Captain of the Central District. years, Hanson, then a strapping youth of 20 dead tough and densely ignorant, had a revolver and with it attempted to shoot Patrolman Kiely.

He is a tough and a hoodlum, and the best man that Justice Belleville could find for his busi- | ness, se “I happened to be at thé Four Courts Ff three or four years ago on the day that Hanson was granted a license as private | watchman for the Suburban Railway Co., and I remarked to a friend the improprie- | ty of granting such a license to a man who ‘tad been convicted of burglary. “I don’t like to have this published, be- cause people talk about the police hounding /a@man who is trying to reform; but I tell you it is @ rare thing—a very rare thing— for a man who has ever committed such a | low crime as burglary to reform.

It is not the nature of |} such men to change. | “T have heard the theory advanced that | Hanson uses his authority in an actual at- been formally charged with such a orime, I suppose it is best to say nothing.” It will be seen from these remarks that Assistant Chief Kiely does not entertain. a high regard for the celebrated bruiser who acts as captain of police at Jannopoulo’s beer garden. “In the case of the prisoner he killed last summer while acting as Constable,” said Chief Kiely, “I could see very little justifi- cation for the deed, although a Coroner’s jury exonerated him, and I regard him as little better than a murderer.” After his return from the penitentiary, Bruiser Hanson secured a place as boun- and Franklin avenue, where he He was later street clubbed and robbed a man. son in the same vicinity. The humdrum practice of slugging hoboes was not exciting enough for him, nor pleasing to his finely developed sense of torture, and he never struck his gait until pleasure of hammering more aristocratic maculate shirt fronts and tailor-made clothes. Besides that, he experiences the further them away to Justice Belleville’s court at Florissant, where he not only has the a “rake off’ from the piled-up costs, as Railroad Co. The discovery that Chief Bruiser Hanson is an ex-convict with a police and peni- shall F. McDonald, attorney for Mr. Voel- ker, cut an important figure in the trial of the suits instituted for damages against the Suburban Railway Co. and Proprietor Jannopoulo. A number of suits are to bo filed, and the chances are the parties who employ Hanson-will be made to pay dearly for his brutality to inoffensive citizens. Speaking to a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday Mr. McDonald said: “The fact cer at the old Jackson Theater at Twelfth | employed as a bartender by J. O.

It consists of about 20 chairs, a backboard and a half dozen desks for the use of the clerical force. Unlike a pool room there are no tele- graph tolls to pay and no salaried cor- respondents are needed to wire post odds, results, etc. The results are contained in a roll of paper tape similar to that which comes out of a Stock Exchange ticker. The tape contains quotations of the ‘fic- titious stocks that are posted on the board and they come as fast and as frequently as the turns out of a faro box. The only difference is that when you | win at faro the dealer does not get a rake- off of 15 per cent and in the tape joint he dées, so that vee you win or lose the house gets something.. The latest establishment of this kind opened its doors about a week ago and is run by Tom Walsh, better known as Texas Tom, now mong od sentence for vio- lating the pool room law. The joint is located in the heart of the business portion of the city, at 208% E*ghth street. It has two entrances, one on Eighth street and another through an alley opening on ' Pine. A sign at the mouth ef the alley reads: “Madison’s Mining Exchange.’’ This side | entrance is a convenient place for clerks to 'gneak into so as to avoid the scrutiny of | their employers. | The Eighth street entrance is indicated by 'a huge sign on blue glass with letters a foot long. This also bears the legend ‘“‘Madison | Mining Exchange.”’ | Madison is a favorite name with Mr. | Walsh. | The alleged Exchange does business from ‘/noon until 9 p. m. This enables Walsh to get a bite from the victims of the other al- leged mining exchanges, which close at 6 Pp. m. Besides it gives sporty young men who can’t gamble in the day time a chance | to speculate after office hours. One entire wall of the Exchange room is covered with a blackboard divided off | into sections about 5 feet square and topped by big letters indicating the mining stocks | that are dealt in. Here they are: The Ohio Mining and Prospecting Co., the Decatur Mining and Prospecting Co, the Pine Bluff Minin and Prospecting Co. and the St. Louis Mining and Prospect- ing Co. | f course, there are no such mining com- } Rae, and they might just as well have een called the Kalamazoo, the Boom-de- ay. the Taradiddle or the Elusive Nit. The piayers know that there are no such com- panies and are quite willing to buck at the game as it stands. All they ask is to be lucky enough to guess the fluctuations os the stock as they are reeled off the ape. To show how wide the fluctuations are and what a good thing the game would be for the players if they had the gift of second sight, the following figures, show- ing the range of these wonderful stocks in one day, may be useful: Ohio—Opening price, 414; highest, 424; low- est, 400; close, 420. Decatur—Opening, 697; highest, 732; lowest, ' $96; closing, 728. Pine Bluff—Opening, 446; highest, 454; low- est, 425; closing, 429. St. Louis—Opening, 432; highest, 436; low- est, 408; closing, 412.

HE WAS “TRIFLING ON HER.” Fired by Jim Cronin’s Whisky, She Led Him a Merry, but Unsuccess- ful Dance on Clark Avenue. A stylishly dressed woman, with a blue- striped shirtwaist and a eailor hat, drove up to the wine room entrance to Jim Cronin’s saloon at Twelfth and Walnut etreets short- ly before 12 o’clock Friday night. It wasa high bed buggy and the horse was a high stepper. She called for the porter and that white- aproned lackey came out and hitched the animal to a post. The woman jumped out of the vehicle; a vicious gleam was in her eyes and she swished into the saloon and ordered a straight whisky, gulped it down without water and turned to the bartender and told him that her carriage might be waiting on the street for an hour or so for her, and asked that it might be watched. en she swished out again and was lost the darkness down towards the Four Courts. She stopped at the corner of Clark avenue. - The bartender at Martin’s saloon was just turning out the gas to close up for the night. When he came out on the sidewalk, closing the door behind him, the woman turned up- on him and asked: “Have you seen Barney Kailton around here to-night?”’ ‘Yes, ae him wae by are a while o with Charley Foster’s cook.” eT thought “4 I’m fix him!” And the woman with the sailor hat gritted her teeth and stood in the dark of the hallway. Barney Kailton is a young fellow well known about the Four Courts. His brother is a barkeeper at the Fair Grounds race track, and he sometimes trains horses, but HER BROTHER CAME, But He Cannot Clear Up the Mystery of Nellie Gilborne’s Tragic Fate. Robert Gilborne of Fourteenth and Pacific streets, St. Joseph, Mo., came to St. Louis last night to claim the body of his sister, Nellie, who died at he City Hospital Wed- nesday night. She gave birth to a male child on Tues- day, August 11, at the establishment of Dr. Mary Arthurs, 2340 Wash street, Dr. R. M. Kerley, ex-superintendent of the Female Hospital, attending her. Gilborne was accompanied by Robert Maney of St. Joseph, his brother-in-law. The woman’s body had lain unclaimed at the Morgue since Wednesday and the two men went there in search of it It had been removed during the day to the undertaking rooms of Christopher Scha- wacker, the City Undertaker. The two men found it there and left after viewing it, stating that they would returh in the morn- ing and arrange for the burial. They did not know whether they would have the body buried in St. Louis or shipped to St. Joe for interment. *The events heading up to the woman’s death are somewhat mysterious, but neither Gilborne nor Maney seemed much concerned about clearing up the mystery. Both were disinclined to answer any ques- tion, meeting almost every interrogation with the assertion that they knew yep They said that the woman left St. Joe about three weeks ago for Easton, Mo., Stating that she was going there for her health. She had a number of friends there. Maney stated that his sister-in-law had been staying at her brother’s house for some time prior to that. She had pre- viously been employed as aservant by a family living at Frederick avenue, St. oe, - Gilborne declared that he knew nothin: about his sister’s movements. He ha heard nothing. of her after she started to Easton, Mo., until her received news of her death. He said she was born in Germany, 39 years ago and was never married. The woman applied to Dr. Mary Arthurs for shelter about three weeks ago, accord- ing to that woman’s statement to the cor- oner. She was about to be confined and paid three weeks’ board in advance. That seemed to exhaust her purse. Dr. Mary Arthurs cohducts a lying-in institute. After the woman’s confinement Dr. Ker- ley found that she was in a precarious con- dition and she was removed to the Ci .. 8126 Easton av Chouteau av GLOBE ODD-AND-END SALE "yw. cur Tinend Franklin evs KEHLOR FILES MORE SUITS.

Another sult was filed against the com- pany yesterday. It was instituted in the Circuit Court at Belleville, Dl. The plain- tiffs are J. B. M.

Tt is alleged in the petition that D. R. Francis has expended money and con- tracted obligations as the company’s re- ceiver to an unknown extent.

Jannopoulo, who runs the beer gar- den at Wells Station in which the railroad officidis are interested. Between the salary he draws from the beer garden and the railroad company at Wells Station, where he takes advantage of his authority to knock inoffensive people on the head with his murderous club, and the revenue which he thereby derives from Justice Belleville’s court, Hanson is waxing faton the good things of the land. Assistant Chief Kiely tells an interest- ing story of the arrest of the bruiser in his younger days. “He was a powerful young fellow of the tough, hoodlum type,” said Chief Kiely to a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday, “and was about 230 years old. I remem- ber the case distinctly, because it was one of the closest calls I ever had. “It was on Veiled Prophet's night in 1881. I think it was October 8. I was then a Special officer and had been assigned for that occasion to the Laclede Hotel and that vicinity. “During the evening Jessie King, an tn- mate of Pearl Dumont's resort at 617 Wal- mut street, came to the hotel and informed me that three men were at the house with | @ valuable lot of jewelry which they were oe to sell at any price. “I started over and picked u Pa O'Malley on the way.

ADVENTURE * HUMOR os SPORTS SUNDAY THE POST-DISPATCH CONTAINS MORE READING MATTER THAN ANY 35-(ENT MAGAZINE. TT ed. PAGES 17-28. NOW COMES THE MULE DENTIST. THE LONG EARED QUADRUPED MUST HAVE HIS MOLARS FIXED LIKE FELLOW CHRISTIANS. That the humble, necessary mule is a Gt subject for dentistry probably never oc- ourred to the average reader, but it Is a fact that the teeth of many a Bt. Louis member of the long-eared family, with no pride of ancestry and no hope of posterity, are more carefully looked after than those of the majority of human beings. Why this should be true does not appear et first glance, just as one fails to see why a pug dog should be regarded with more favor than a pink-toed baby, but it ie true. ' The mule is not a docile patient, by any means, and the tooth carpenter who under- takes the task of regulating his molars has a bad job on his hands. The ordinary mule has the appearance of having been disappointed in love. His nat- wre is cynical, and he is constantly on the lookout for people who are endeavor- ing to give him “‘the worst of it.”” He re- gards ail mankind with suspicion. He looks @skance when strangers approach him, and ie constantly on the defensive. As a pre- cautionary measure he sometimes kicks a lung out of a man without knowing whether or not his intentions are honor- e@ble. He pricks up his ears at the slightest sound, and anybody who gets ahead of him will have to rise before daybreak. He gazes with a melancholy eye on the world around . ———— PAGES 17-28,” THE CINCINNATI FURNITURE CO. QUIT BUSINESS.

Life to him is a burden not of his own seeking, and one which he carries under protest. What does e care about the condition of his teeth? t is of no more interest to him than the silver question. All he asks is to be let alone, and ag a consequence, when a horse doctor goes to monkeying around his in- ferior or superior makxillartes, looking for cavities to plug, he is liable to get a chunk bitten out of his neck or a swift kick in the pants. It is safer to work on a mule’s mouth than at the other end, but about the only re- ally safe way to handle a mule is to chloro- form him or hit him behind the ear with a telegraph pole. Even then it is advisable to fee) of his pulse and’ take his temper- @ture, for the ordinary workaday mule can outdo a “possum when it comes to sham- ming. The practice of doctoring the teeth of mules and horses has been in vogue in St. | § | | | . ia i Louls for many years. Like many another | good thing, it is sometimes overdone, and | oanimals are operated on when they would | # be better off without it. This comes of the cupidity of the hustling equine physic an and the unfamiliarity of owners with the conditions that should ex!st inside the ani- mal’s mouth. ese be times when the ordinary citi- | gen is picking up everything in sight, and if a horse doctor cannot operate on a mule for | e@ppendicitis or attempt to change his dis- | Position by meane of orifimal surgery, he? Can at least yank a tooth out or plug it, as | & the case may be, ff the owner is. willing to | liquidate the usual bill of $3. As a matter of fact, horse dentistry is common all over the country. In Pennsy)- vania, Illinois andjother coal mining States, where hundreds @f mules are worked un- derground, dentists are regularly employed by large companies to take care of their animals, just as physicians are employed by the year to book after cases for rail- road companies and other big corporations. In St. Louls, where many of the coal mining companies are represented, the work of hauliage is usually done by contract. and the boss teamsters, who own large numbers of mules and horses, have learned that it pays to have the teeth of their animals well taken care of..As a usual] thing, it insures them good digestion and keeps them ina healthy condition, no matter how hard they may work. The Devey & Feuerborn Coal Co. owns its | own horses and mules, and probably has @s much dental work’ done as any other firm in the city. Still, the amount is not sufficient to justify the employment of a Gentist regularly,;and the services of the tooth carpenter are called into requisition only on special occasions. The company owns one horse that is 2% years old. His name is George. Some cal] im George Devoy and some George Feuer- , but the majority of his friends call him simply Old George. He is as faithful a beast as ever lived. For sixteen years he has been hauling coal around the streets of. St. Louis. and he was never known to utter a word of pro- test. He just kept on hauling coal, ‘‘saw- wood” and drawing his salary. During ll of his years of service he never be- onged to a labor union, and never made an incendiary speech, inciting his fellow equine workmen to riot or urging them to @o on a strike. Once he became angry because his em- loyers failed to give him enough work to 0, and called for his time check, but later he reconsidered his action and withdrew his a@pplicetion. Old George is much beloved by his owners, end when he commenced to lose flesh, Several weeks ago, and mope around like & man about to commit suicide, they became exceedingly worried. He got so he failed to make up his bed in the morning. refused to sweep out his foom or take a bath and let his shoes go un- lishe@, and they knew that something as wrong. Finally they called in Dr. J. C. Kelly, ane he took a peep at old George’s “‘toofies.” Baer was where the trouble lay. Twenty- tha years of chewing hay and any old thing at came handy had worn them round and perfectly smooth. He might as well ty attempted to chew with his mouth ull of billiard balie.

You feel like a beggar intruding on the domain of a prince. You gaze acrosé the street. In glowing letters of red and gold, resplendent.in the sun, are these words: “Rest meal on earth, 10 cents.’’ Your eye dances. There is a quiver of de- light in your breath. Your tantalized stom- ach clamors for satisfaction. Your feverish hands toy with the small but useful 10-cent piece in your vest pocket. There is a limit to the power of human resistance, and you rush across the street and take your place at the narrow little counter. You eat and eat until there is imminent danger of an explosion, and wonder why fortune never steered you up against the joint before.

Although most of the girls waiting to have their fortunes told seemed to belong to the large fraternity Known as “help,” I was surprised to hear a carriage stop before the door while I waited, and soon after two ladies entered the shabby room. One was a woman of at least 60 years of age, her hair as white as cotton, while her companion was quite young, both being dressed quietly but elegantly. I found out before leavin that both ladies were regular customers o the fortune teller, coming to consult her upon most subjects of impertance.

Eugene Field’s Oldest Daughter Is to Become a Public Reader. Miss Mary French Field the eldest liv- ing child of the late Eugene Field and his wife Mrs. Julia Field, is about to become a public reader, and will take her selections largely from her father’s works. Miss Fields is quite a gifted ameteur actress having inherited all of her father abliity in this line, and has taken great pride and pleas- ure in appearing in ameteur roles since she was a child. She is tall and slender, a striking looking girl, being five feet eight inches in height, with remarkably expres- sive grey eyes, and beautiful chestnut brown hair which she wears combed off her forehead prefectly plain, without a curl or crimp to relieve the severity which how- ever is not unbecoming to her. She was a great favorite with her father, and she has inherited many of his tastes and pecu- liarities of manner. When she leaves her home for even a short visit she is greatly missed by the neighbors among all of whom she is a prime favorite. Miss Fields room like that of most girls with decided tastes is an index to her characteristics and favorite fancies. The walls are covered with pictures of artists upon the dramatic stage. many of whom are her warm personal friends, and have themselves presented her with their pictures. Her collection embraces all of the best actors and actresses upon the lyric and mimic stage. An- other fancy of Miss Field’s, which she has indulged since she was a tiny girl, is collecting dolls. Her room is filled with them, representing all ages and both sexes, as well as every nation and clime. There is perhaps not-another such collection of dolls in the world, and the young lady takes the greatest pride anti pleasure in her treasures, although she is years old and has long since left off the habit of playing with them. One of her favorite amusements during her childhood and early girlhood was dress- ing dolls, and she originated a form of af- ternoon tea among her girl friends called ‘ta doll klatch,’”” when all of her girl friends met at her home or that of some member of the club and «pent the afternoon in dress- ing dolls, while partaking of mild refresh- ments suitable for the occasion. She is ex- tremely fond of acting and has taken part in a great number of private thea als. Last winter, during a visit to Kansas she took the part of Trilby and was greatly commpltssented upon her ability in the dra- matic line. She has quite a collection of photographs of herself taken as Trilby in all the different scenes of that young person’s life, as pictured by Du Maurier. She has a most amiable and lovable dis- ition and her friends all predict for her a brilliant eareer !n the fleld she is eeems herself to adopt. She bas inherited much of her father’s inimitable manner of read- ing and she will doubtless attract large audiences wherever she goes, both as Eu- gene mA daughter and on account of her own a y. Among her friends she le called “Trotty,” this having been the pet name given her at an early age : her father, who never called any of his children a the poane: est by his or her real naine. nch was always called “Trotty,”’ his eldest son, P., oswell Field, amily circle.

St. Louis, it is true, derived a little negative consolation from it. Dute Cabanne was reinstated. That is a whole lot. Everybody in this city wanted to see the greatest rider and all-round athlete St. Louis ever produced in good standing once morc. The whole town is glad that Dute has been reinstated, and is for that matter giad that the pretty Kentucky metropoks got the meet. Then Willie Coburn ran second in the mile national championship. Willie is a good boy, and did well for his city. He is the youngest, and, by all odds, the ablest of the five famous racing brothers. He is young, but a mere lad. Next year should make Willie Coburn the best man on the cir- cuit. - 7 7. Fred Hattersley was a big disappoint- ment. After the fine showing he made at the State meet last July many people thought he was the crack amateur of the country It is very probable that Fred sharea their opinion, that is to judge by the noise made by the stockings and sweater he wore and that “Don’t you touch me” bearing so common to crack cyclists. But then State meets are not national meets, and it is not so easy to win with cracks at Fountain Ferry as it is to beat the pumpkin rollers at Moberly. Joe Howard, who, in shape, is really the very best track man in St. Louis, was aiso disappointing. There is no doubt that when fit and well young Howard can ride rings around any amateur in the State. That he Was not fit was demonstrated by his last mile in training at Fountain Ferry. That he did not win was a sore disap- pointment to his many friends in this cit who, knowing his gameness and epeed, hoped that for the once his head work would be of the kind that would carry him through. Howard is a rash rider prone to take chances and to fall and that was what hurt him at Louisville. Lou Coburn must be classed with the Other two cracks. He is riding strong and has a good head, but for some reason or Other he failed to push his wheel over a winner. Charley McCarthy and Dan Dougherty, the novices, made a splendid showing. Mc- Carthy's ventory in the novice race showed that St. Louls has a promising lot of good riders coming up. woughesty rode second to McCarthy at Louisville in fast time. Three weeks ago both were easily defeated in a novice race at the Pastime track. Later—Since the above was written on * Baturday fvrenoon Joe Howard more tian jJusified the good opinion the Post-Dispatch fitertains of him. He won the mile han- dicap off the W-yard mark. Then Willie Co- ae yanes down the mile open professional and Charley McCarthy won the mile ama- teur in the 2:30 claes. A!l of which causes much rejoicing in St. Louis, - a Louisville made a great success of the Meet. Kvery city that has ever had it has done the same thing. Is it not about time that St. Louis was getting a crack at the Plums? Of course, a new track is neces- gary before this city gets the national meet, but a little thing ilke that ought not to be allowed to stand in the way. A track can be built easily enough and would be bullt if the right people had any assurance that the meet would be run on it. St. Louis would make an ideal place for mational meet. Being centrally located, i? would naturally have the support of all sec- tions. Gentlemen of the L. A. W.. Missouri Division, is it not worth trying for? — Next Saturday will bring the great Dia- mond Tournament to De Hodiamont. of course it will not be a@ national meet, but as far as the class of competitors go it should equal the great Louisville festival, Bald, Cooper, Sanger, Gardiner, Kimble Coulter, the Coburns, Zie ler—in a word all the cracks will be there. hey will ride for bigger rizes than they did at Louisville and will naturally rideharder. True they pay not have go fast”™a track, but Tom Aitken will see to it that the De Hodiamont affair will be in as good condition as a dirt track can possibly be. It will be’ one of the greatest race meets ever held in the West and everybody should be there to see it. > 2 General Manager Gaiennie of the Expost- tion has set asfde Saturday, Sept. iD as Wheelmen's Night at the Exposition and the matter of arranging for a large gather- ing of the cyclists will be taken up at the next meeting of the Assoc'ated Cycling Clubs. Ali the clubs in the city are cor. dially invited to attend in cycling costume. Priges will be offered for the club having the largest number of members present and the smailer clubs will also be looked after.A neat souvenir badge will be given to all I.. A. members or to those applying for membership at the headquarters, which will be located in the cloak room. A large and representative turnout of all L. A. Ww, members is specially desired, and as St. yo boasts of possessing 10,000 wheelmen, each man ghould make a special effort to be on hand. Wheels will be received and pheoxed at the Olive street front of the ullding. A epecial programme may also be arranged to take place in Music Hall. lle bells on bicycles are neces BY fy there is such a thing as ~ mold ing the bell too often, Some riders think 1 . 8 fine thing to keep their bells jingling oi t time and to startle people, but it os «Fe should be frowned It is amus g to hear a bicyclist sound rs t of way when he is Where the pedestrian en- Meh ts wheelmaa is permitted only by sufferance.

Bicyclists ought to remember that a little courtesy will go just as far on the road as anywhere else. The great Ameri- can public'is so constituted that it re- sponds instantly to requests made in a courteous way. Many wheelmen who com- plain of the lack of courtesy which they experienae on the road would find a great dea] more of it if they practiced it a little more themselves. HISTORY OF THE - ASSOCIATED C. C'S. REMARKABLE SUCCESS OF THE CYCLING ORGANIZATION—HAS FAILED IN NOTHING. ao The Associated Cycling Clubs, under whose mahagement the Diamond Tourna- ment will be given, is looked upom as the leading organization of this branch of sport in St. Louis, It has done more to create an interest in cycle racing than any other body has accomplished in years. The League of American Wheelmen looks after the fights of cyclists and the improvement of the roads and streets, and the Asso- ciated Cycling Clubs take charge of the races and amusement features. The association was organized in March, 1884. It was created more to bring about a friendly feeling among the members of the various clubs than for any other pur- pose, though it was to an extent foreseen that it could easily become a power for good in promoting great enterprises under the joint management. At the time wheelmen were giving more attention to politics in the L. A. W. than to the promotion of meets and tours and were at eee pth points with each other, so it was decided that some method should be adopted to allay the feeling. The associating of the clubs together and making their inter- ests one was suggested and immediately adopted. A meeting was called and six clubs were represented and ‘the delegates resolved themselves into the A. C. C. The originai clubs were the St. Louis Cy- cling Club, the South Sides, the Pastimes, the Y. M. C. A., the Carondelets and the Wanderers. All of these clubs, with the ex- ception of the Cycling Club and the South Sides, have gone out of existence. These two clubs are still in the association and the others are the Kenneths, the Centuries and the Mercurys. The first move made was to et the Board of Officers of the Missouri Di- vision to relinquish the management of all local tours to the new organization so that it might have a fleld of work. The first fixture placed in its hands was the spring county tour of 189%. Hundreds of cyclists rode to Clayton under the new management and enjoyed the games and other features prepared for them. At this tour the circuit meet of '34,-which lifted the association into preminence at a bound, was planned and the co-operation of the rank and file obtained. In the fall of ’94 the second tour was given with the destination at Schoenlau’s Grove. There were about 380 men in line. The National Circuit meet of '% was up to that time the most successful race meet ever held in this city, and has only been surpassed by the subsequent efforts of that same body. The association brought the crack ridérs to St. Lou's for the first time in many .years. Sanger, Johnson, ‘Doc’ Brown and Charlie Murphy were the bright stars. The association cleared about $600 on the meet. In February, 1895, the Associated Cycling Clubs held the first cycle show ever given west of the Mississippi River. It was planned on a small scale, but before the doore were thrown open it assumed mam- moth proportions, and the hall could not hold the crowd. It was given in Uhrig’s Cave Hall, and was a novel and pretty sicht. Every stand was gayly decorated, and full lines of all wheels were shown. a truism that the Associated Cycling Clubs have never yet undertaken an enterp that has not proven a success, and its past } record is a voucher for the success of the coming tournament. Even in the drudgery of for the k, majn- tained with the i: Cycle Board of work ment which yielded them such returns. Through the association the Cycling Clut, the South Side Cycle Club, the Kenneths and the Century acquired the needed funds to refurnish their quarters and carry a comfortable bank balance besides. The League of American Wheelmen also came in for a good share of the proceeds and to the liberality of the Associated Cycling Clubs in spending hundreds of dollars for entertainments, souvenirs and printed mat- ter is the present growth in L. A. . mem. bership largely due. No individual profits one cent through his connection with the association and every cent is expended to broaden the influence and increase the in- terest in the sport. On this platform.the generous support of the public is solicited for next Saturday’s race meeting, ‘% THAT THREE-CORNERED RACE. Stags Claim That the Cross Country’s Backed Out. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13, 1896. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In regard to the recent controversy be- tween the Cross Country, Rover and Stag Cycle Clubs, as to the proposed triangular road race between the above clubs, we wish to put ourselves in the proper light before the public, and therefore give the following facts. At a meeting of our club, July 28, our secretary Was instructed to issue the fol- lowing challenge, which was mailed to the Cross Country C, C. To the Cross Country Cycle Club: We, the Stag Club, do hereby challenge the Cross Country cyclers to a triangular road race between the Country, Rover and Stag Cycle Clubs, for a distance of not less than twenty (20) miles, each club to be rep- resented by ten (10) men. The time and place to be arranged by the committees of the respective clubs. July 29, 1896. STAG CYCLE CLUB. In consideration of the above challenge we were greatly surprised to receive the fol- lowing communication, which they also sent to the press: ST. LOUIS, Aug. 4, 1896.—In consideration of the fact that there has been an excessive amount of talk in regard to this race ques- tion, and we have not received any reply to our communication, this committee is instructed by its club to make this last advance, which will remain in vogue for seven days. If we do not hear from you in the limit named, we refuse to give the matter further consideration. We are not averse to racing, but prefer to race with our wheels rather than through the newspapers. Very truly, RACE COMMITTEE C. C. C., A. C. Smucker Chairman. After receiving the above, we at once took action.and appointed a committee which met the Cross Country Cycling Club’s and Rovers’ committees at the former’s club- house Friday night, August 7, with this re- sult: They claimed that they had never re- ceived our challenge—upon which the chal- lenge was immediately re-issued to them. This they refused on the grounds of not being able to put ten good men in the race, and the Rovers, who seemed to be guided al- most.entirely by the C. C. C., made the same strong men. Very truly you Secretary Stag Cycle Club. MERCURY WHEEL CLUB.

T. Donovan said: ‘ “The most encouraging feature of the real estate market is the improved tone of the renting demand. The number of vacant houses has decreased during the summer months, a very unusual feature of the busi- Hess. “There have been a number of important Jeases made of business houses during the last ten days. There is now a fair demand from builders for leans for building pur- poses. They find some difficulty in placing these loans, but l am confident with the ad- vent of cooler weather there wiu be a good eupply of loans offered. The masses of the people who are inter- ested in St. Louis real estate are not troubling themselves as to whether we have silver or gold, but preserve the even tenor of their ways and you may depend upon it that eHgibie building lots will fin as good demand during the fall of 1896 they have the previous year. Samuel Bowman, discussing the same si: ject, said: “There is no denying the fact that the real estate market has been quieter than usual this season, but at the same time it is very gratifying to the owners and agents who are interested in real estate to know that despite the depression in general business, St. Louis has held its own, and that the progress of thé city in the way of substantial improvements is eteady and sure. “The cause of this favorable condition of affairs is, in my opinion, due to the steady imcrease of population in our city, which insures the occupancy of all the new buildings which have been erected within the past year. . “Another favorable condition which has aided materially in maintaining prices’ of St. Louls real estate is the fact that loans have been readily made at moderate raies of interest up to a valuation of 65 to 70 per cent of the selling value of the prop- erty, and under these circumstances owners of real estate who have been in need of money have been able to supply their finan- cial wants without being compelled to sell their property below a fair market price. “The natural feeling among a majority ' Of real estate agents is that with a return of confidence, which is expected itmmedli- ately after the Presidential election in No- vember, the real estate market will enjoy renewed activity. “Prices of St. Louis real estate have never “been boomed and are considered extremely reasonable by those who are famillar with values in other cities, hence the fecling is that with renewed confidence the price of Bt. Louls real estate must naturally keep _@bace with the growing population. “St. Louis is undoubtedly one of the best advertised citiés in this country and enjoys an enviable reputation for solidity, and it 2 bound to pangeve the benefit of this repu- ion a8 soon As genera) business revives.” 7.

Last Sunday afternoon as many as 10 men were metamorphosed into mis- chievous, frisky boys the minute they touched the water, and a circus perform- ance would have been tame in comparison to what went on in this circus ring in the water, The Misses Hattie and Ellen Robinson of St. Louis arrived last Tuesday and will re- main for an indefinite time at the tavern. The entertaining farce, ‘‘Ici on Parie Fran- cals,’ was presented at the Tavern last week to a large and appreciative audience consisting of the guests of the Tavern.

Mrs. Strauss of St. Louis and her children are here for the season. During a hay ride from Alton the other day, tne young ladies of the party were quite panic-stricken for a time by the sud- en appearance at the horses’ heads of several suspicious-looking individuals, who were evidently highwaymen. However, they finally proved to be friends from the ‘Tavern out on a lark, and laughter soon took the place of screams. An enjoyable circus party, consisting of 12 or more young peopie from the Tavern, chaperoned by rs, G. Portis of Bt. Louls, occurred ever a week ago.

AT NEWPORT. ree TL The Potter Palmers’ Stunning Livery Eclipses Those of Eastern Nabobs. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. NEWPORT, Aug. 12.—Mrs. Potter Pal- mer’s livery is the swellest seen here, and is the admiration of society, nearly every- body envying the Chicagoans. The door- man at the Pratt Villa, which the Palm- ers are occupying, presents himself with Knickerbockers, patert leather slippers, with fine gilt buckles, and his fine black hose are relieved by a wide gilt garter just below the knee. The rest of the costume is very much of velvet, though it includes a bright silk vest and a ruffled and puffed shirt front. But this is not all that one observes at the door of the summer home of the Palmers, for, if one will glance to the end of the spacious hall the large and stately butler will be seen strutting about, if possible very much more gorgeously attired than his subordinate, who allowed you to enter. Still, with all this gold and. glamor at the entrance of the villa, there is a gen- uinely Western air of hospitality about the place, and one is able to see Mrs, Palmer or ahy of her family with far less cere- mony and red tape than is required to se- cure an entrance to the majority of New- port cottages, : The coaching parade is to be the feature of the coming week, and as it is set down for Saturday, a throng of visitors from New York and elsewhere is expected.

J., Aug. 15.—This has been horse show week at Long Branch and horses and lovers of equine beauty have had possession of the Branch. The third annual exhibition of the Mon- mouth County Open Air Horse Show As- sociation, which closed to-night, was all of the success that the most sanguine had anticipated. Thousands of visitors attended the big show during the three days’ meet. In every respect the show was far ahead of the two previous exhibitions. H.

St. Louis Folks Are the Boss Spellers . at a Spelling Bee. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. PUT-IN-BAY, Lake Erie, O., Aug. 4.— It is gratifying to note that St. Louis peo- ple are among the most appreciative of the hotel’s patrons, and, furthermore, not con- tent with catering to self comfort and pleas- ure, are most generous in furnishing enjoy- ment for others. Last Monday evening was therefore, a happy diversion from the usual hotel entertainment, for Mrs. Biebinger was hostess at a “Dictionary Party,’’ an amuse- ment new and novel to a majority of those participating. Dainty refreshments, served in a private dining hall, followed the word building in the parlors. The prizes were exquisite souvenirs of the time and place, and were awarded as follows: To Mr. Al- fred Sheldon of St. Louis, with a record of 110 correct words, first prize, while Mr. Al- bert Mahler, also of St. Loujs, was given second prize on 90 words. Mr.-Mathis of Kansas City and Miss Fullerton of Chilll- cothe each reported 100 words, and ‘“‘cut the ecards” to decide the contest. Miss Fuller- ton was the victor. The senate or ladies was won by Miss Dryer of St. Louis. Of the forty who were Mrs, Biebinger’s de- lighted guests were the following St. Louis- ans: Mr. Sheldon, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. Mahler, Mr. and Mrs. Busch, Mr. and -Mrs. Schubert, Mrs. Zeiss, Miss Dryer, Mr. and Mrs. Russell, Miss Fendel. Much regret is expressed over the depart- ure of Mr. Stephen B. Sheldon last Sunday, but his brother, Mr. Alfred Sheldon, is here to exemplify the evident family trait—social popularity. Juvenile St. Louis is well represented and most sweetly and charmingly so in the names of the little masters and misses of the families of Busch, Schubert, Russell and Pechman, and each and all as well and hap- py as it is possible for luxuriously cared-for children to be. Others recently registered from St. Louis are: Mr. T. E. Sherman, Mr. Délos R. Haynes, Mr. C. M.. Adams, Miss A. M. Ad- ams, Mr. B. Crane, Mr. J. E. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Zirk, Mr. C. 8.

(ix 3 QO) WORNGAAY THE PASSING OF ‘THE BANG AGAIN WE COME TO THE FASHIOW OF INTELLECTUAL HIGH FOREHEADS. If the women of to-day were as readily disposed to self-torture as their feminine ancestors, they might at present be engaged in applying the pincefs to their front hair with the same stolid barbarity that these earlier women manifested. There was a time when a high forehead was considered an extreme mark of beauty; and not only this, but the higher the forehead the greaier the indication of beauty. In those days maidens whose foreheads did not correspond to this idea! laboriously pulled out tne offending hairs until the outlines of their faces corresponded to their rigid ideals. In the interval there has been a period when the all-conceaiing fringe left every defect of this portion of the tace a matter of conjecture. That happy time is passed, and the stylish colffure of to-day leaves the brow uncovered. As always, every wo- man is hurrying to follow the latest de- parture in hair dressing, regardiess of its suitability to her own style of face and head. The result is that certain defects, mercifully concealed, are now ruthlessly revealed. Women with several inches too much of forehead brush their hair back with the same inexplicable unconsciousness of the effect produced, as is shown by wo- men of the opposite type, who reveal un- pleasantly low foreheads with no attempt at concealment. Pincers are out of fashion, and as frizzes are also, many women seem content to expose certain unlovely defects which the public has for a time been spared. There are women i!ke the type pictured in the illustration, whose height of forehead makes the present fashion in hairdressing @ practical impossibility. Of this type, it is well known, are the foreheads of the Princess of Wales and her daughters, who have, with a commendable sense of fitness, preserved in and out of fashion an un- swerving devotion to a heavy fringe. As there is nothing in a thick band of frizzed hair that is particularly indicative of royal blood, it may safely be concluded that the Princesses have persisted in their adherence to this coiffure by reason of a clear realiza- tion of the need of it. So that the rash per- sons who criticise the Princesses who have persisted in their hair to come in friendly contact with their eyebrows, should, on the contrary, be grateful to them and to all others who refuse to present the spectacle of towering foreheads uncovered by hair. Only a degree jess offensive is the exposure of a very low forehead, whose outline it Is a0 easy to soften and obscure, and whose de- ects it ig so easy to conceal by a few wisely arranged locks. The resourceful woman no sooner thinks of revealing her inch of fore- head, if that is all she has to boast of, than she would think of exposing the dizzy height of brow that is unpleasantly sug- gestive of baBiness. She would ask toreclt what curling tongs were made for, or any other of @ myriad devices whereby Straight locks may be transformed into ringlets and a wide expanse of forehead con- verted into a background for a really be- witching coiffure. Wise as such precautions are, there are foreheads which do not require them, and which may safely serve as the basis for ex- perimenta in the new fashion of hair ar- r ement which Mile. Cleo de Merode, the Parisian queen of beauty, has recently made #0 popular. Mile. de Merode’s own is, the best illustra- It is that the erode’s face is en- n otherwise by the se arrangement that gives arisian dancer the air almost of a classic model. wg ty style of forehead from which the hair may be safely brushed back is that which has been one of the main charms of the Gibson girl. It is the square fore- h . pornepe more than usually broad ‘@nqg of medium height. It is not adapted to the waving disposition of the front hair, ut to the apparently unstudied simplicit of the Gibson heroine’s never too prim an recise coilffure. Still another type is the intellectual] brow, fwell exemplified in the portraits of Mrs’ )/Kendal. It is at the same time, the typ- /teally English feminine forehead, rather prominent, a [ittle prominent particularly ) in the region of the eyebrows, rather high, road at the top, and with the hair inly down at either side. Proba- 14 not be called a beautiful fore- -_——— eee en before ; head, but it is by no means an ugly one, and certainly does not demand a curly bang for its concealment. > A distinctly different type is represented in the portrait of Mme. Calve, who has the typical low forehead, much admired by many artists. It has no promineces, is per- fectly straight and smooth, and is wonder- fully well adapted both to Calve’s face and to the style of hairdressing shown in th portrait. The well-formed forehead that is neither high nor low, of the best type of Ameri- can girl is exhibited by Miss Virginia Har- ned of Trilby fame. ne is tempted to be- lieve that Miss Harned could arrange her hair in any way she chose and the effect would still be admirable and becoming. Trilby herself could not have had 4 pret- tier brow. WOMEN GOOD SAILORS. en In Scandinavia They Are Oftentimes Preferred to Seamen. Scandinavia bears the distinction of being the only nation of the world in the navy of which the women enjoy the same privi- leges and share the same perils as the men. Whether the woman on board is the wife of the captain or of the commonest sailor, she is compelled by Government to do the work of a man before the mast, and the women are even compelled to stand guard at night. Women pilots are also a usual thing in the navy of beth the Scandinavian and Dan- ish Governments. They sail far out to sea for the purpose of meeting the incoming ships, and conduct them to port as safely as do male pilots. O14 and experienced Scandinavian ship captains say that women make good pilots and are to be preferred to men in that they have more patience than men and are not so liable through drunkenness to dash a ship on the rocks, A TRANSPARENT WRAP. ee A Silk Muslin Affair With Which the Countess Surprises Paris. The Countess Castellane (nee Gould) is astonishing Paris with her finery. Not every woman, of course, has the bank account this American Countess has to draw upon, but ft is not that which makes her well dressed. It is her American “sense of clothes’’ that enables her to astound and delight Paris with her wonderful toilets. co ies The French papers, at a loss for adjectives, describe them as marvelous. Just at present the Paris world of fashion is agog over a startling gold embroidered summer gown of striking design. The hat which goes with it has a large spray of diamonds. A mantle of costly black lace falls over the shoulders. Another garment which has made a sen- sation is a transparent wrap of opera cloak pattern, but so thin and gauzy that it has not the slightest weight. It is made of silk muslin of the finest kind. Care in Making Marmalade. In making marmalade the same precau- tions must be observed as in making jam or jelly.

VERY UNIQUE IN SHAPE--LATEST FANCIES OF AIS SORTS IN ST. LOUIS/STORES. Have you seen any of the new fall hats? They will be revelations to the woman of quiet and modest taste.

It is the climax of the summer season of '%. Compared to it, the black tulle nightgown, the serpent coiffure and the pantalette must hide their diminished heads. It is newer, more unique, more striking than they. It is nothing less than the wearing of a lighted lantern as a personal ornament. The fashion, it is said, originated with a speculative manufacturer, whose petites lanternes were bought up by the tens of thousands at the fair of Neuilly. The lan- tern is very small and neat, and is made in a Gothic form after an ancient model. The material is tin, but that is gufficiently solid. The lantern is quite small—very little larger than a walnut, in fact—but it has well-fitted glass plates, and will burn for several hours. Its cost is very emall—only a few cents. Almost everybody who returned from the Neuilly fair to Paris looked as if he were Jutwardly symbolizing the midsummer saint, John the Baptist, “a burning and a shining light.”. The men and boys wore the little lanterns in their hats, and ‘the ladies carried them in their bouquets. That was the beginning of the vogue of the lantern as an ornament. In less than a week all Paris was wearing it to garden parties, and now the little light has made its way across the sea and may be seen in the most exclusive Newport and Lenox cir- cles. It is predicted that it will not long be in favor in fashionable circles. It is one of those ATES fads that is sure to catch the showy girl in humbler life and as soon as the lamp begins to burn on the breasts of the girl of low degree her fashionable sister will discard it.

Watches are smaller than ever and the enameled faces are greatly in demand. I was shown a pair of emerald cuff links, the center of the link set with a small emerald, surrounded by tiny diamonds, and the little trinkets cost the modest sum of $100. While making my tour among the people who control the fashions in St. Boned I vis- ited a West End dressmaker and -was sur- prised to see how busy she is already with owns for ladies, many of whom are enjoy- ng themselves at summer resorts. To com- pensate for the lack of amplitude in the dress skirts the modiste told me that she was using a great dea! of trimming already, and all of the sleeves I saw were much smaller than those worn this summer. Thin goods have never been in such de- mand, and some of the organdies and lawns I saw were dreams of beauty. Thin mate- rials, such as lawn and mull, used to be considered inexpensive, but they are any- thing else made as the dressmakers confect those materials nowadays. By the time the delicate silk lining and ribbon trim- ming which accompany’ sdch dresses are urchased few gowns are so expensive as he simple, dainty lawn or organdy. The new skirts for street wear are much shorter, flat in front and «i+! at the sides, he flutes start from the hips and are full in the back, many of the new models being cut circular in shape with gores and full plaits set Mm the back. Girdles of velvet, some of them made of different shades, are much used, and bo- lero jackets, also made of velvet, with ruf- fles of lace, are much used, and will in- crease in popularity with the season. Jackets are seen in every shape and arine.

A writer in the Medical Times is authority for the statement that a simple and almost invariably effective way to remove a fish bone or other substance lodged in the throat is to give the patient a pint of milk and forty minutes afterward an emetic of sul- phate of zinc. It may be added that the caution of a physician fs to eat Ash always by itself—that is, puttimg nothing else in the mouth at the same time, even a bit of bread or potato. In this way the presence of a bone is quickly detected before it has a chance to get beyond control, Queens as Mothers. The Queen of Spain looks upon’ the per- sonal training of the young King as part of the business of a sovereign, and has rarely, since her windowhood, been absent from him for a single day. The Queen Re- gent of Holland has educated her daughter almost in solitude—a state of things which, it is rumored, the little Queen Wilhelmina promises herself one day to alter. The Em- press of Germany is an equally devoted mother, and would possibly take a more active part in the destinies of her little sons if her somewhat autocratic consort permitted her to. Badger, which was made the first official paper of the city of Evansville... The Badger was started in 1894 as a week- ly newspaper, and is owned, run and set up entirely by women, being conducted and owned by two sisters—Miss Eleanora An- drews and Miss Marilla Andrews. Eleanora was born in Wiscensin on a farm, was graduated at Evansville (Wis.) Sem:nary and after some experience as a schoo teacher, conducted the business of the Post- office at Evansville, Wis., for four years. This was under three different Postmsters, She had no expernence in journalism until the Badger was founded, something over two years ago. Marilla was born at the village of Argyle, Wis., and was grad- uated at the University of Wisconsin, in the class of 1892, having in the mean time taken a turn at school teaching in South Dakota to assist herself through the uni- versity. After graduation she went to Washington, D. C., and for about @ year and a half edited the Farm House, which is the woman’s page in the American Farmer. After eighteen months of this work she decided to return to Wisconsin and start a paper of her own. As the result of this determination she went to Evans- ville, where the family still lives, and, in connection with her sister, founded the Badger. She is a prominent worker in the cause of suffrage, and President of one of the districts, which consists of six coun- ties in Southern Wisconsin. She is also con- nected with the Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union. The elder sister, Eleanora, is an active member of the Order of the Eastern Star and of the W. C. T. U. The paper is a red-hot partisan Republican protection, woman's suffrage organ. co See : J 7 .

The Abakweta dance, the wild war dance of the Umtata youths, is the most famous Savage ceremonial in South Africa, and a rite seldom witnessed by European eyes, much less photographed. The strange, leopard-like figures in the| pictures here reproduced are probably the only Abakweta dancers ever photographed. A correspondent of the London paper St. Paul’s snapped the kodak on them in one of their villages. This barbaric dance has a ctrious place in the tribal customs. In Umtata, which is the native State in the east of Cope Colony in South Africa, every able-bodied youth is taken from his parents just before arriving at the age of manhood and maintained at public expense for one year. During this transition. period the young men are known as Abakwetas. By the chiefs and most skillful warriors they are trained in the use of arms and fm the prac- tices of war. All this time they are not suf- fered to visit their families, nor may their mothers even look upon them. While in the Abakweta stage they are required to dance in public once every two weeks, and upon the manner in which they acquit themselves much depends. The dances last the entire day, from sun- r.se to sunset, so that it Is a terrific test of endurance and spirit. But the duration of the dance is in itself less exacting than the costume which tradition prescribes must be worn. preparation for the ceremony the Abakwetas first strip themselves naked and Smear their bodies over with white clay, rubbing it on in spots, so as to give the effect of a leopard’s skin. This is thought to be very terrible and likely to inspire the enemy with fear. Next long bands of straw thatch are Wrapped ‘round them like ballet. skirts. There will be usually thirty or forty feet of this and it will weigh fifty or sixty pounds, iut the weight is not the most trying discomfort.

THE MOST ASTONISHING SUB- MARINE BOAT EVER INVENT- ED TO BE SOON TESTED. Louis Gathmann, a4 Chicago inventor, who has for years been trying to get the necessary capital for constructing a sec- tional lens telescope according to his own plan, has made a new invention. He has secured patents in the United States and has made application for them in every European country. If his invention does what he claims for it submarine boats will soon form an important part of the navy of all nations, ironclads will be obsolete and Gathmann will have the necessary money to construct his sectional lens tele- scope, which will bring the moon within speaking distance. There are many submarine boats which have proved practicable to a limited de- gree. Mr. Gathmann says his invention can be attached to any boat defigned for navi- gation beneath the surface and it will re- move one of the principal obstacles with which other inventors have contended. It will make it possible to steer the boat as well while submerged as while in the light of day, and the captain can we is af “, 4! 71LSVa “ onl MARA B .dshe. ti NOL Oe tBlet so the Cae a. et nha Ee. : palveiiiicanieteableutaden dist cin th tet te | oe at HEREISA WOMAN HERMIT HAS LIVED IN SECLUSION 20 YEARS AND ALL EFFORTS FAIL TO MAKE HER TALE.

Dolls we associate with children and the nursery, not with problems of cliviltsation and national customs. But the doll has much more of a history and plays a more import- ant part in the world than is generally suspected. In fact, dolls are so important in some countries as to lead a noted Scotch-} man to devote years of study to them. Andrew Findiater, LL. D., the eminent Scotch man-of-lett@rs, has written a paper filled with almost incredible information concerning dolls. Not only has the use of dolls been in vogue from the remotest ages, but it Is common in all barbarous nations as weil as among civilized peoples. Neither is it to children alone ,that the fondling of dolls is confined, says Dr. Find- later. Among many uncultured tribes fe- males are known to carry dolls long after .

A DOLL IN PLACE OF TWINS. Dr. Findlater says further that in many sections of Africa twins are regarded with unspeakable terror. There is a tradition among the savages that if both children are allowed to live they must be either mentally or physically unsound, as they would have but one spirit between them. Accordingly, whenever twins are born, the younger is always killed by the parents. As though in ‘some measure to show she did not wish to be cruel to the murdered offspring, the mother takes with her a doll and bestowg upon it a care equal to that of the first-born chilid. “Among the Wanyamwezi,” says Dr. Findlater, “it is customary for the parents to kill one of the twins and then to wrap a gourd or calabash in skins, to place it to sleep in the same bed with the surviving child, and even to put food at its lips.” These dolls of the savages are for the most part cut out of plain wood, though in a few cases an elephant’s tusk is utilized for the same purpose. Expensive dolls are for the most part made in England, while the cheaper vari- ties Are usually made in France, the Nether- lands and along the river Rhine. It is a enrious fact that the eyes of>Queen Vic- toria, which are blue, years ago set the fashion for English dolls. PIPES, COSTLY AND ODD. Prince Bismarck Has One He Thinks Possesses Supernatural Powers. One of the two greatest pipe collectors who ever lived was the Marquis de Watre- ville, whose smoking room in Paris had the walls adorned with costly pipes, some of them worth as much as $2,000, and all ar- ranged with great beauty of design. The other was the well-known Capt. Bragge, of London, whose collection was valued at £100,000. Capt. Bragge had agents in all parts of the world, and his collection was deemed worthy of a special exhibition at the Crys- tal Palace, which was held in 1889. Prince Bismarck is a great pipe collector, and the gem of his collection has a curious history. Many-years ago, as Bismarck was strolling in the suburbs of Friedrichsruhe with his two hounds, he was accosted by a Bohemian peddler and asked to buy a plain meerschaum pipe of the type that Birmarck most affected. At first he declined, but the peddler claimed for the pipe a power of forecast, and told him he would serve three Emper- ors as Minister, and that three important changes In life would be foretold by acci- dents befalling the pipe. Laughing, Bismarck bought the pipe. He has since served three Emperors. Two days tefore the histeric moment when he was refused gn audience, the stem of the pipe separated and fell to pleces. Later be chipped a piece from the side of the bowl accidentally, and within a month his prae- tical dismissal by the Emperor occurred. The third sign is yet to come, and Bismarck helieves that when it does it will foretell] his death. ee 8 eee P| af .

Other animals had been used with indifferent success béfore. A ruse which succeeded for a long time was that of a Spaniard who kept a —y . farm, Each day he would drive a u birds across to Gibraltar, ostensibly them to the English. He took care er to sell many, so his flock was never much gt minished in numbers and not at in the size of the individuals when he drove the birds back across the neutral ground. evening a customs official took it into his head to examine one of the birds. The re- sult was that tied under the wings of each’ turkey were found twe half-pound ages of tobacco. A donkey which used to pass to and from Gibraltar daily under the care of an inno- cent-looking rustic was one of the earlier four-legged smugglers. It was.found that the animal had been completely covered with the skin of another donkey, which was so well cut and beautifully padded with forbidden tobacco that it fitted per- ectly. There was a drawback in the use of the animals just mentioned, inasmuch as it was necessary that a man should be in charge of them. The use of dogs obviates this difficulty. One man had a dog which, like the donkey, -had a double skin, with a quantity of tobacco in it. He had been get through the lines from Gibraltar, after which he went straight to his master’s home to be unloaded and sent after another consignment. To put a stop to this kind of smuggling the Spanish Tobacco Co. had a high fence of wire netting built across the isthmus from sea to sea. But smuggling by dogs has by no means been stopped. Since the building of that fence it has been carried on by means of a number of hulks anchored in the bay op- posite the English territory. On these hulks a number of men are occupied all day long in making up tobacco in small packages tied in a waterproof paper. Towards sundown men may be seen com- ing from Gibraltar accompanied by a «us- picious number of dogs. Men and. dogs all embark in a.boat and are rowed out to the hulks at anchor, and, oncewn board, the packages of tobacco are carefully fas- tened around the bodies of the dogs and covered with sacking.

IT WAS THAT OF A YOUNG WO- MAN AND IT WAS SMOOTH AS MARBLE. For years past farmers and ranchmen plowing in the earth an sandy strata of Walla Walla County, Washington, have at times uncovered fossil proboscidians of con- siderable size, and occasionally bones, sup- posed to be of animals, in a rare state of preservation. Of all the finds in this line, owever, that made some days ago by a faickoness named Richard Browner is the most interesting in the history of this some- what remarkable county. While clearing up a small plece of land the plow share struck what prowner thought to be a stone, and remained - bedded. In digging out the obstruction he uncovered a human leg in the damp earth. Striking the foot with his spade, it gave forth a metallic sound. He stooped and touched it, and found that it had the cold, hard feeling of stone. Hastily throwing the earth away from the spot, he soon had exposed to the light the petrified body of a young girl. It was at once removed to his cabin, where it was washed and thoroughly dried, when it be- came as white as marble. It was then sent Me ’ the local physicians to Tacoma, where it now is, in the house of Dr. James Mussler, who is a scientidt, as well as a Physician, Many of his colleagues have ex- amined it, and all declare that it is the most wonderful instance of petrification on record. Not a particle of the body is miss- ing. The limbs are complete and even the fingers and toes are in a perfect state. The appearance of the land and the posi- tion in which the petrified girl was found have led to the belief that the body was never buried, but fell into a trench, where in all probability it was covered from view by the continual drifting of earth, dried leaves and the many decayed substances that ac- cumulated in a ditch during the course of decades. The learned men who are now investigating the strange case claim that the body must have lain there at least twenty-five years, and more probably fifty, - eta been transformed into its present state. Or. Mussler said of the find: ‘The two most remarkable features of the body are the color and the fact that it is perfect in every respect. In fact, it is in the same condition of perfection that it was when life first became extinct. There is not a flaw or sear visible to mar the symmetry of the —— produced. The accompanying picture was made from a drawing sent to the Kansas City Journal by Capt. George Bier of the United States Nawy. The animal was caught off the coast of Florida, at Malanzas inlet, in seventy- two feet of water, It was caught on a hook and line, and when dragged aboard the boat was full of fight. In order to preserve the strange moneter it was found necessary to kill it, for it was eo vicious that it could not be handled. , This remarkable relic of the antediluvian monsters seemed to be part bird, part fish and animal. Capt. Bier described it as follows: b "Tt has no scales, although it can swim. A portion of its body is covered with hair, and when it wants to fiy it inflates two windbags behind its wings. This inflation is through its gills, which are situated on its breast. It stands upright on its feet, which are shaped like hoofs. Its face and body are more human-like than anything else, and its mouth is like that of a raccoon, gar- nished with two rows of teeth. It stood was ignored and the Diabolus Maris wal ———— THE SUCKER FISH, USED AS BAIT THE “POUOHED” JUMPER WITH A RECORD OF SEVENTY FEET.

On dark, rainy days, the figure remains as pal- lid as an ordinary piece of marble, but on bright days, when it is exposed to the sun, it gradually changer into a delicate alabas- ter whiteness. his phenomenon is unac- countable, but Is probably due to the min- erals in the ground that served to petrify the body. “TI think it is the first case on record where a perfect human body has been found. It is not unusual for excavators in this State to occasionally unearth bones and fragments of bodies in a state of petrification, but they have been noth- ing like this find. The body was entire- ly nude when discovered, which leads to the belief that the powerful substances in the ground (strong enough to petrify the body) slowly ate away the clothing during the long years it lay there.’’ When the body was found there was a tiny gold chain clinging around the neck, with a little star attached, on which were the Itnitials, “E. D. B.”’ These initials gave the first clue to the identity of the girl. The matter was carefully investi- gated, and old settlers around the place are confident that the remains are those of Elenoro Basco, ates J recall the parents of the girl, who settled in the country some fifty years ago. In fact, her father, an old Spaniard, was one of the very first men to really settle in that immediate part of the State. Blenora was a child at the time. As yeass went by, she developed into beau- tiful womanhood and was the belle of the then thriving little town. During a raid in which the town was almost wiped out she dis eared. Search was made for her in vain,and it was concluded that she had been murdered or carried off by the Indians. Her mother’s mutilated body was afterward found some miles from the scene of the encounter, and the shock, together with the loss of his daughter, prostrated the father, who shortly afterward died. Elenora at the time of her disappearance was about 20 years told. The few old set- tlers who are still living, who knew her and have viewed the body, claim that it is un- doubtedly her, Prof. J. Burdett, a geologist, is also study- ing the case. He does not entirely agree with the theory advanced by some of the physicians, that the body must have fallen into a trench at the time life became extinct, and became ineased in gypsum washings. The gypsum covering, they contend, | semge a mold, and after the body de- cayed the mold filled up with mineral de- posits and the result Was a casting of cla with lime and iron enough to make it stic together. Opposed to this theory, however, is the wresence of hair on the head. The champions of this theory are also at a loss to explain the changing of the color of the body, or its remarkable smoothness. The body is as hard as stone and even heavier. It is so firm that !t is impossible to break off even the smallest particle. When struck with the point of a knife it Chips as would a plese of finely polished marble, and the under layers seem as hard @s the surface. : Were the body mounted on a pedestal, it might easily be taken for a carving. The face har a peaceful expression and the’ limbs le straight, with one foot upon the other. On: arm lies slightly off from the body and the other is across the breast. Another curious question in connection with the case is that regarding ownership. If it is really the remains of Elenora Bas- co, there are relatives living who will claim it and who by all the laws of right and nature seem entitled to give it decent burial. On the other hand, the ranchman who found it, now that the newness has worn off, claims that it is problematical who the girl really was, and wishes he had never surrendered it to the scientists. He has made a demand for its return. These gentlemen view the matter with- out sentiment. They see in the find just so much material for thought and study, and besides it has a considerable money vaiue. There is hardly a museum or medi- cal institution in the country that would not gladly secure it and at'a large sum if necessary. ' ' It is probable that the matter will have to be adjusted by the courts. An appeal to law will undoubtedly result in a verdicf for the finder, as it is almost an impossi- bility for any one to prove, or to even swear positively, that the remains are those of the girl Elenora. DEEP SEA MONSTERS. They Carry Electric Headlights to Search for Their Prey. Here are two deep sea fish which carry their own incandescent lamps along with them. One of them rejoices in the name of Echi- ostoma Barbatum—at least that is the jaw- Y Ag THE snoanterte . breaker modern science has bestowed oneit. It carries a glowing phosphorescent bulb,at the end of an appendage to the jaw, and it is a good imitation of an electric light. It carries it like a locomotive headlight, or, more apprepriately, like a signal light at the masthead ofaship. But the light is not a signal light to warn away fellow navi- gators, but rather a searchlight to enable the wearer of it to find its prey. Another deep sea monster is the Egae- michthys. It carries a bulb of light under its jaw, and besides the full length of its spine is illuminated with a cluster of phos- phorescent filaments. Until of late years little was known of the monsters which swim in the deepest sea waters. Occasionally one would die and by the expansion of gases in its body would rise to the surface. These, sighted by passing ships, gave rise to all kinds of stories of monster sea serpents, but the chances were rare that any of these stray deep sea fish would be seen by scientists. Fifty years ago it was held by scientists that fish could not possibly exist below a thousand foot level because of the tremen- dous hydrostatic pressure. They could not if they were made like surface fish. But they are constructed for deep water swim- ming, and they cannot live near the sur?’ - hae THE ECHIOSTOMA BARBATUM. face. In bringing them up, owing to the immense pressure, they are often so swol- len as to be useless for scientific purposes, and the wonder is they do not burst open. Of late years great scientific interest has been manifested in deep sea fish, and the Government has ships wnder the direc- tion of the Fish Commissioner enpecially fitted with apparatus for capturing them. All specimens are placed in the.®mithsonian Institute at Washington, whose collection is the most complete in the world. None of the general visitors to the insti- tution are a‘lowed to visit this sanctuary of science; only those persons who are in- terested in this valuable work are permit- ted to enter there. So wonderful are many of the forms of these queer fish, so ingenious seems the manner of their construction, and so different are they from our idea of what fish should look like, that it seems as if they might have been transported to our oceans‘ from another planet. The headless mon- sters of early history are surpassed. The elaborate dragons of childhood are ex- celled in hideousness. More than anything else will this collection lead the casual ob- server to believe in a realm of surpassing wonder, as yet only partially discovered, Mice With Pink Legs. In the Missouri River, near Plattsmouth, Neb., is an island which is overrun with curious mice. They have'a golden brown coat, while the lower part of their bodies is pure white. Their legs are pink and their eyes are jet black. No such mice are found anywhere else. FISH USED THE SUCKER CLINGS 80 TIGHTLY TO ITS PREY THAT FISH- ERS USE IT. — * The discovery of a fish which will act for the fisherman as does the falcon for the hunter will bring joy to the hearts of many amateur fishermen who have sat for hours in the broiling sun trying to lure the finny ptic to take the fly. The ae eer 5 - it is commonly called S a bugbear to the purveyor of fishi ——— orgs 4 4 ™ e head, which has a peculiar sucker- like atttachment on its tip, is fat on a line with the back, and below regularly curved upward to the margin.

Hardly a fishing vessel now leaves that port without a full complement of suckers aboard in the tanks expressly prepared for their recep- When the fishing grounds are reached the fish are cast overboard, and soon the at- tendants are busily engaged hauling in the lines: The sucker does such quick work that with the assistance of about fifty of them the fisherman can make a larger catch inside of an hour than he would with the old style net in two hours.

Roach of Water Valley con- trbutes’ this to current freak literature: While breaking and cooking eggs for sup- per last evenirg I broke a small hole in one end of a large hen egg and poured out in the skillet the white of the egg. After pouring out the egg I discovered something still heavy and rolling about in the shell. I called in some of the close neighbors and we took out the next egg. It was a com- mon-sise egg instead of a very large hen egg. Both eggs were well matured. The two egg shells are on exhibition yet.

A Mule Gives Birth to a Colt and an Egg Hatches Itself. And now old Pike County, Mo., comes to the front with a couple of unheard of freaks. Mrs. MelIiroy of Calumet near Louisiana placed a pan of eggs in her kitchen. After _séveral days one of the eggs pipped and out came — The presumption is that incubation was accomplished by the prevailing high temperature. Anyway, the egg had never heard of a hen or of an artificial incubator. Like Topsy, the moth- erless chicken must have “just growed. It did not stay with us long, however, dy- ing an hour after its unexpected debut. Still more astounding was the freak re- orted by W. N. Meriwether of Eolla. He as a mule which last week broke all rec- ords by giving birth to a colt, the sire being a mustang etallion owned by Mr. Meriwether. The colt bids dair to thrive. It is more mule than horse in appearance. In the meatime the old description of the mule as thout e of ancestry or hope of posterity will have to be revised. LONDON’S WHITE FROG.

Museums have shown pure white horses dogs, stags, deé7s, hares, ravens, crows an sparrows, but an amphibian albino is a great rarity, and all London is now flock- ing to the Museum of Natural History to view a white frog, the only specimen of its kind ever known to exist.

As a result of the Bosworth victory, Hen- ry Tudor obtained the use of the throne from 1485 to 1509.

His name was Perkin Warbeck, _ and though the son of a Flemish merchant, . - : he was a great favorite at social functions | and straw rides. He went to.Ireland, where everything in the way of a riot was even then hailed with —— t, and soon the York farmily and others who cursed the reigning dynasty flocked to his standard.

Perk, however, had been well entertained in Paris as the coming English King, and while there was not permitted to pay fora thing. He now visited the Duchess of Bur- oe sister of Edward IV., and made a hit at once, She gave him the title of The White Rose of England (1493), and he was pleased to find himself so popular when he might have been measuring molasses in the obscurity of his father’s store. Henry now felt quite mortified that he could not produce the evidence of the mur- der of the two sons of Edward IV., so as to settle this gay, young pretender; but he did not succeed in findin the remains, though they were afterwards discovered un- der the staircase of the White Tower, and buried in Westminster Abbey, where the floor is now paved with epitaphs, and where economy and grief are better combined, to rummage the kingdom for the dust of two murdered princes, that he might, by unearthing a most wicked crime, prevent the success of a young pretender, and yet fearing to do so lest he might call the at- tention of the police to the royal record of homicide, regicide, fratricide, and ger- micide. Mosi cruel of all this sad history, perhaps, Was the execution of Stanley, the king's best friend in the past, who had saved his life in battle and crowned him at Bosworth. In an.unguarded moment he had said that were he sure the young “man was as he claimed, King Edward’s sop, he—Stanley— would not fight against him. For this purely unpartisan remark he yielded up his noble life in 1495. “ Warbeck for some time went about trying to organize cheap insurrections, with poor success until he reached Scotland, where eS Se —_———__ - James IV. endorsed him, and told him to have his luggage sent up to the castle. James also presented his sister Catherine as & spouse to the giddy young scion of the Flemish calico counter.. James also as- sisted Perkin, his new brother-in-law, in an invasion of England, which failed, after which the pretender gave himself up. He was hanged amid great applause at Ty- burn, and the Earl of Warwick, with whom he had planned to escape, was beheaded at Tower Hill. Thus, in 1499, perished the last of the Plantagenets of the male kind. Henry hated war, not because of its cruelty and horrors, but because it was expensive. He was one of the most” par- simonious of kings, and oft averted war in order to prevent the wear and tear on the cannon. He managed to acquire two million pounds sterling from the reluctant taxpayer, yet no monarch ever received such a universal consent when he desired to pass away. If any regret was delt any- where, it was so deftly concealed that his death, to all appearance, gave general and complete satisfaction. After a reign of twenty-four years he was succeeded by his second son, Henry, A RELUCTANT TAX-PAYER. in 1509, the elder sun, Arthur, having died previously. It was during the reign of Henry VII. that John and Sebastian Cabot were fitted out and discovered North America in 1497, i. — depopulation of Africa, Italy and Ireland. South America had been Tiseoverad the year before by Columbus. Henry VII. was also the father of the English navy.

WOLSEY OUTSHINES THE KING. “aia ci acajacashansitingiutnal of age, but handsome and smart. He soon married Cxtherine of Aragon, the widow of his brother Arthur. She was six years his senior, and he had been be- trothed to her under duress at his lith rear. . A very fine yt reproduction of Henry VIII. and Catherine in holiday at- tire, from an old daguerreotype in the au- thor’s possession, is here reproduced. Henry VIII. ordered his father’s old law- yers, Empson and Dudley, tried and execut- ed for being too diligent In business. He sent an army to recover the lost English possessions in France, but in this was un- successful. He then determined to organ- ize a larger force, and so he sent to Calais 50,000 men, where they were joined by Max- imilian. In the battle which soon followed with the French cayalry they lost their habitual sang-froid and most of their hand- baggage in a wild and impetuous fight. It is still called the Battle of the Spurs. This was in 1515. In the report of the engagement sent to the King, nothing was said of the German Emperor fur the reason, as was said by the commander, “that he does not desire no- tice, and, in fact. Maximilian objections to the use of his name.’ This remark still furnishes food for thought on rainy days at » Francis, Balmoral, and makes the leaden hours go gayly by. Wolsey, who was made Cardinal in 1515 by the Pope, held a tremendous influence over the young King, and indirectly ruled the country. He ostensibly presented a hum- ble demeanor, but in his innermost soul he was the haughtiest human we that ever concealed beneath the cloak of humility an inflexible, tough, and durable heart. On the death of Maximilian, Henry had some notion of Beer e vacant throne, but soon discovered that Charles V. of Spain had a prior lien to the same, thus, in 1520, this new potentate became the reatest wer in the civilized world. It is ard to believe in the nineteenth or twen- tieth century that Spain ever had any influ- ence with anybody of sound mind, but such the veracious historian tells us was Once the case. the French King, was 680 grieved and mortified over the success of his Spanish rival that he turn to Henry for comfort, and at Calais the o disgruntled monarchs spent a fortnight jousting, tour- neving, in-falling, out-falling, merry-mak- ing, swashbuckling, and general acute gas- tritis.

Jamie is a bright-eyed boy who belongs to a family of seven children. He has an uncle living in the country twenty miles from his city home, and he loves to visit him. Although he is only 6 he shows great fondness for animals, and during his last visit he was much interested in a little calf there, and kept teasing his uncle to sell it to him to take home. Finally the uncle asked: “What you pay me for the calf?’ Jamie replied: “I haven’t much money, but I could trade the baby for the calf, for we have a baby at our house most every year.”” AN EFFECTIVE ONE, TOO. would Miss Kilduff: How did Blanche manage to get a husband?

She then seized a decanter of sparkling wine and was about to pour the contents over, the jewels when Antony arrested her and. “Nay, glorious queen! Pour in the wine first and the jewels afterwards.”’ The beauteous ~arption turned an in- quiring glance towards him. “‘Never,” cautioned her lover firmly, ‘never cast pearls before wine.”’ The hard sense of his dictum was appa- rent even in the midst of the frivolity that reigned supreme, and the concoction was drunk with an additional relish.

His eyesight had always been extremely good, ‘‘Duty’s duty,” he murmured, “and this is the last day for a fact, but I sorter hate to break up the crowd in this way. I've more than half a mind to give them a little more time to round up their affairs.”’ For though a habitue of the celestial re- gions, Gabriel had always felt a strong re- gard for mankind generally. He wawered for a few minutes, lost in a mist of incertitude. It struck him at the time d the idea called forth a grim smile, that practically he stood between love and duty. He was an ardent lover of popular music. “Well,”” he said, after a pause, “‘they do say ‘when in doubt, play trumps,’ and that settles it.” So saying, he blew a resounding blast, and sine die, humanity immediately adjourne A TEAVELER’S TALE.

Eva Magoon, suggested Byron and Tennyson in its musi- cal flow, end contained these few lines: Classmates! how fast the time has fied, The hour of parting has come; On joyous wings the time has sped; Our school days now are done; Classmates! farewell! Farewell to teachers kind; Farewell to the dear old school room, And all we leave behind. We may go Bast, we may go West, And some may sgail the sea, But I'll be true to thou If you'll be true to me. Classmates! farewell! Tears of emotion and sighs of deep feel- ing filled the room while this fine poetical ode was first read im deep, solemn tones by Eva and then sung by all present to the tune of ‘“‘Auld Lang Syne.”’ It would be difficult to conceive of a more dastardly and low-form meéan deed than that perpetuated in a spirit of hellish spite, as is surmised by some one who had not been invited to the party given on Wednesday night by the Misses Jennie-and Maggie Hites. While the mirth and mer- riment was at its height some fiend crept up and threw a dead skunk in at the open varlor window. The effect was as disgust- ng as it is indescribable. Some fainted and the enjoyment of the evening came to a sudden end. The vile wrete who thus. gratified his spleen, had better lay low, for if he is ever discovered the Hites won't leave enough of him to scrape up on a fire shovel. - wee Things have come to a pretty pass {n*Bill- ville when our leading oung men go in swimming in the Wild Cat hiver without bathing suits in plain sight of the passers- by.

Base ball is a tame Sport compared to the red man’s game, and even football 4% played by college elevens appears a mild dorm of athletics efter one has witmessed Lo’s struggles to win. ' Indian ball is a combination of base ball, @hinny, polo, sprinting and slugging. It fakes at least twelve players to put up a ame and the number may be almost in- efiniteiv increased. There have been games in which there were more than 400 players on each side. The more players there are, the more ex- citing is the sport and the flercer fhe strug- gle. The Indians play to win and they do not hesitate at resorting to any devices to @id them. Broken bones and bruiged flesh are a part of the play, and no player quits because of a hurt unless he is absolutely placed hors du combat. In former times tribe ainst tribe. Sometimes all of the avail- able warriors took part in the game, and 3t then became more of a battle than a game. When the contest was over the fleld would be strewn with dead and dying, and during its progress the players became @emons inient on crippling and slaying their antagonists. As a ‘result of these old contests the Government authorities interfered and stopped the games. Under fear of incurring the displeasure of the Great Father the Fedskins were obliged to forego the pleas- @res of indiscriminate fighting under the retext of a game of ball. This is not he only matter in which Uncle Sam has been compelled to interfere in the conduct of the wards of the nation to protect them ainst themselves. he first game of Indian ball that has been aves in years took place last Fourth of uly at Sulphur Springs, Il. T, Members of the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes engaged in the game, there being sixty players on a side. It was the first game these tribes have played since its participants were pap- pooses, and it was perhaps the last game frequently played .-» that will be allowed. The participants secured a permit by promises of reform in the methods of play. These promises were not kept and during the excitement of the play awful scenes of brutality were witnessed. The excited men kicked and pounded each other, and while no one was killed a number were 60 badly injured they had to be removed from the field and some are wearing ban- dages yet. The game of lacrosse is an Indian ball game which has been modified somewhat fo suit the ideas of civilization, Indian ball has a resemblance to football or hockey, in that the aim is to force a ball through a goal guarded by the opponents. These goals are from 200 to 400 feet apart, @epending on the large number of players engaged. The larger the number of players the greater is the distance. The ball is a@bout the size of a base ball, and is made of huckskin, stuffed with deer hair. It is never fouched with the hands. . Each Indian is supplied with two rac- vets, and between the netted heads of them the ball is carried. If a player se- cures the ball between the nets of his Tracque he tries to carry it to the goal, to me it there or to throw it to a friend, who will, perhaps, be able to advance its position. Each time the ball is carried through the goal the side that accomplishes the feat gcores a point. Sometimes as many as 300 points were required to determine the winner, and in that game the play would sometimes last eight or ten hours. Dif- ferent tribes had different regulations re- garding the number of points to make a me, and they varied in other details, ut in the main points they played the game alike. On the morning of the Fourth each Indian gubmitted to a final rubbing-down. The ‘rubbing”’ was done with a sort of steel sfomb, which tore the flesh until the blood flowed freely. Despite the agonizing tor- tures the braves made not a sign of pain and calmly submitted to the combing until the flesh was covered with scratches. The game began a little before noon. The warriors, all of them painted as hideously @s though about to go on the warpath, and wearing no clothing except short leggings or a breach-clout, were lined up on the und selected for the game, the ball was sed in the alr and the game begun. It wae fiercely fought from the start. For- y Indians dashed for the ball, and soon ey raised such a cloud of dust that ball and players were obscured from the sight of the spectators. While the mass of players were climbing over each other and wane their racquets as weapons offense and defense a lithe Chickasaw secured the ball, and before that fact was known, he was wel) on his way to the goal of the Choctaws. Before he could be stopped he had scored 4 point. Then the fighting Indians were induced to cease battering each other, and resumed their positions for the game. That is, all of them did but three. One Choctaw and two Chickasaws were too badly injured to longer play, and they retired. Little attention was id to them, ¢he interest of players and spectators being centered on the game and mot on crippled aoe saying All sorts of tackling was indulged in. In- Gians were tripped, the stout hickory racquets were used to throw players by be- ing thrust between their feet as they ran, and when one player fell those behind him Fan right over him. Fights were in progress all over the field. Bometimes but two were engaged, but oft- er ten or a dozen were mingled together an apparently inextricable mass. The scene. was intensely interesting. In- @idents occurred with. such starting ra- pidity that a spectator could not see them all. A three-ring circus was nothing com- red to the scene of the game when the was active. The Indians, almost nude, painted with stripes and polka dots fin various colors, were assaulting each other end raising clouds of dust all over the field, Sometimes there was a general stampede which half a hundred Indians went across e field in a compact mass, and any un- °o rtunate who fell in front was trampled Without hesitation of mercy. The game lasted four hours and resulted a victory for the Choctaws, the score Ry to 8 It was witnessed by thousands of whites, Indians and half-breeds, and was success, in fact, that no other game like it will ever again be permitted. THE EDUCATED HEN. Ghe Wouldn’t Hatch an Egg That Was Marked “No Good.” This is an instance where the chicken pould read, says the New Orleans Times- Democrat. “It's a case of absolute game- Mess on the one hand and a knowledge of English on the other,” remarked Deputy Collector of Customs Ozenne ef the Teche District the other day. “I have what some ople cm is an inordinate fondness for ame chickens. Well, I have a good reason or it, but that’s not the question. About Wo weeks ago I concluded not to set any gore game hens on account of the lateness of the season, #0 I gathered a lot of the eggs Geposited by the hens in various portions of the yard and placed them in a nest, in- fending to take them into the house for se there.

It was nearly time for the “‘change off,”’ and around the little yard master’s office of the Missouri Pacific at Twenty-second street were quite a little crowd of veteran switchmen. Among them were two old railroaders, former employes of the Mis- souri Pacific, who had been “let out’’ dur- ing the troublous times of '94, and, to use their own expression, they had been “on the hog train’’ ever since. One of them was telling their experience in trying to find work. He was an edu- cated man; he has been a telegraph opera- tor, and has also done some clever news- paper work. Incidentally he spoke of the power of the railroad companies over the destinies of the men in their service, and of the far-reaching scope of that bane of the railroader’s life that sprang into such vigorous action at that memorable July meeting of the General Managers’ Associ- ation—the famous A. R. U. blacklist. The active life of this black list only lasted a little over a year, but in tMat time it is said to have put 16,000 railroad men, many of them veterans, nearly all with records of years of fa'thful and efficient se: vice, en- tirely beyond the possibility of getting work: at the vocation to which they had given the best years of their life. Its vigorous lines are now greatly relaxed, and with few exceptions, the men whose nameés helped to swell that monster list of ‘ineligibles”’ may, if they can find a job, again work at their chosen occupation. Referring to this the speaker said: “It has not passed inte a state of ‘innocu- ous desuetude.’ Far f it. Its stern power still holds the ‘agitator’ in check, for, at the least hint of trouble, it will be again in active force, and for a second of- fense, there will be no atonement; the un- lucky ones will have to seek other em- ployment. “But few people to-day know how this blacklist was es up. They have heard of it incidentally when they have listened to some railroader who may have for the mo- ment arrested their attention by a “hard- luck story.”’ Here is the truth of the mat- fon the 10th of July the General Man- agers’ Association met and issued their last ultimatum to the men. They gave the em- ployes, those who were not identified with any acts of violence or sedition, one last chance to go to work, but to do so ey must report for duty before noon of the following ry Each member of the association was to have prepared, by his trainmaster, a list of the men who had gone out on the strike who did not report by this time, and .aese were to be compiled, printed and distributed among the roads who held membership. “A printing firm in Chicago moved 4 font of type into a room adjoining the quarters of the association, and here, always under the closest surveillance, the work of getting up the book was commenced. Every el- fort was made to prevent any knowledge of any part of this work coming to the public. t “The first clause in the announcemen receding the names of the strikers mount ay every member of the organization pu lishing\it Mable to prosecution for con- spiracy. aT he result of the printer’s work was A little blue paper-covered book of about — pages, which contained the names of li, railroad men whom the general managers decided must be crowded out of railroad ser- vice. The book was intended or for dis- tribution among the twenty-six ra wenee OF that time members of the associat n, but at the meeting held on the 2d of August it was decid to send a copy to every general manager or general superintendent in the country. The railroad officials ali over the country have denied the existence of this book, but, before the Ist of Septem- ber, 184%, it was a well-guagded reoord tn every general office, and every application made for employment was checked by this regurd, and if the applicant's name was found he had to get a clearance from the company who h put his name there— ontil within the past year an impossibility— or look for work ou some other line “Here ig the story of what this little blue book 4d@id for us two men, one of whom has a letter that vouches for eighteen vears’ efficient, faithful and honest ser- vice. “About the 15th of July the men com- menced to weaken, and I with a lot of others applied to our res ective roads for re-employment. The yardmaster to whom I went said I had been ‘blacklisted,’ and advised my trying the general office to get a clearance for the trouble. I tried his plan, but it was without success, and; as I supposed the blacklisting was only on the road I had been working for, I tried sev- eral of the other companies in Chicago before I discovered that I was being froze out. I knew the Bast had been but little affected by the strike, and failing to find anything to do in this city I started with my old switching partner to try and find work. “We didn’t try for a job until we got to the New England States, where they never had had a railroad sirike, but it was no use: in one form or another we* were told: ‘You were mixed up with the strike in Chicago and we cannot employ you.’ In many places we got this information after we had commenced work, but generally they looked up our record before we were put.on the working List. “We tried every one f* the Atlantic Coast ; States, but it was the same everywhere and | we finally gave it up and started for Mexico over as direct a route as it was possible to choose, for at that time we had but little trouble in riding. *““Mexico is another country, but -her-rail- roads are controlled and managed by Ameri- cans, and every day in her cities we met fellow railroaders there, on the same errand, who had been turned down by virtue of the little blue books. We tried it, but got the Same answer-as had all the others: ‘You must have a clearance for June and July.’ “Tt was useless, at that time, to come back to the States, so we’ went down to Tampico and got out to the Central States. The railroads there hire all their help in the United States by contract and fo was no place for any employment there. “We worked our passage along the coast on trading vessels and finally reached Rio Janeiro, Brazil. It was the same there that it had been in Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras—no work except by contract and every branch full. ‘“‘Long before this we were out of money and now we were in rags. We couldn’t find work in Brazil, so we hustled the wharves until we found an English steamer that wanted coal passers, and we shipped to Liv- erpool on her.

It is a remarkable story—not new, but newly told in this work, by Dr. Oliver W. Nixon, who was for seventeen years Pres- ident and literary editor of the Chicago In- ter Mr. Nixon was, the fifties, a teacher of the children of the pioneers of Oregon, who knew Whi and later on he was purser of steamer ever built in Oregon, Perhaps in the world’s history no and heroines have ever exhibited is thor than have the men and women w have been the home biulders upon the American frontier. these, none, estima by what he accomplished, ex- celled Dr. Marcus Whitman, and yet, am d the hurry of busy life in the Unies eaten, his great work has well nigh been over- looked or forgotten. Moreover, historians, either throug or prejudice, have misrepresented and maligned him. The author answers eath of these most con- vincingly. The volume tells te ident owes lasting gratitude for their diplomatic statesman- ship. This feature alone has attracted wide attention from historians. Even Mr. Roose- velt in his recent book, “The Winning of the West,” has dropped into the old fallacy and has written history that he will be compelled to rewrite and correct. But the charm of the book is not so much in its rare historical parts and research as in the heroism of the actors. ‘““The Wed- ding Journey” is crowded with pictures of beauty that will Nve forever in the memory of every reader. Life at the old mission sur- rounded by savages and a wildness never excelled will enchant the reader; but the long midwinter ride of 4,000 miles over snow-covered mountains, through pathless plains and wilderness, swimming half- frozen rivers until the hero stood before the President and statesmen of Washing- ton to plead for Oregon, is one of the most, profoundly impressive sketches of real life ever told. The bones of Dr. Whitman and his noble wife still rest in the grave near where they met death at the hands of their murderers. "Phe design is to raise an endowment of $200,- 000 for Whitman College and to remove the remains to its campus. For such @ man there could be no more appropriate monu- During the year the sum of $160, has been raised, and the hope is to raise the additional $40,000 so as to secure all condi- tional subscriptions by September 1, 1896. But those not interested in the object will nevertheless be intensely interested in the charming story, and its wild, free life which will never again be repeated. The pictures drawn in the chapters will never have a counterpart. They are the realities of American history which excel all romance. (Chicago: Star ublishing Co.) The ‘Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc,’ by Mark Twain, which appeared ser- ially in Harper’s Magazine, has been pub- lished in book form. Mrs. Oliphant’s “Life of the Great French Heroine,”* just pub- lished, will be compared with this Amer- ican production, and the comparison will not detract from Mr. Clemens’ fame. After Napoleon has been exhausted, we seem to be vee a revival of Joan. It is a mighty leap from the monster to the martvr. As the “‘translator’’ says, in his prefatory note, the story of Joan of Arc is unique be- cause it is the only record of a human Hfe that comes to us under oath. By putting the present biography into the form of fiction, making it appear to be a narrative written by a faithful servitor, the author has been able to show, better than could have been done in any other way, the personal charm and sweet, maideniy character of the fam- ous heroine. The record of her fighting and of her conquests has been told many times | before, but never has such a clear insight : been given into her home life or into her personal character and disposition. The book is divided into three parts: “In Dom- remy,” treating of Joan’s childhood and of her inspiration; “In Court and Camp,”’ tell- ing~of her career as a general; and “Trial and Martyrdom,” being a pathetic and og sonay account of this sad period of her life, especially valuable because the reader knows there is no fiction here, at least. — F. V. Du Mond, the artist, visited the scenes intimately associated with the action of the story, and in his illutrations we see the results of his careful studies of the manners and customs of the time. (New York: Harper & Bros.) - Gabriele D’Annunzio is an Italian au- thor who has won fame at home and in France, both as a poet and novelist. His novel “Episcopo and Company,” now translated into Fnglish, with an informing introduction b yrta Leonora Jones, is worthy of attention. The author's style is very peculiar. It is evident he has stud- ied Tolstoil. But he has carried the hyster- ‘cal, interjectional method somewhat fur- ther. In fact, occasionally this ve re- minds one of a child's primer. or ex- ample: “Vou say you want to know—what do you want to know, sir? What must I tell you? What? Everything? Well, I must tell you from the beginning.”’ “Do you think me mad? No? TI thonght I saw it in your face. No, sir, I am not mad yet. What I am telling you is the truth. It is all true. The dead do return.” “Episcopo and Company” is a morbid creation. It is Lombroso done into fiction. It fs a study of a degenerate—in fact, of several. It is as pessimistic, as realistic, as dismal and as alluring as the creations of Zola, of Tolstoi or of Hardy—that trin- ity of clever croakers. (Chicago: Herbert S. Stone & Co.) tl .

The new library edition of “Life on the Mississippi’ that Harper & Bros. have issued will be wel- comed by all lovers of America’s great hu- morist.

Throughout the book Mr. Clemens’ powers of humor and pathos are continually shown.
