Bpecial to the Post-Dispattch. CHILLICOTHE, Mo., Aug. 18.—The State Executive Committee made up by Chauncey I. Filley about two weeks ago is likely to be @ bone of contention.

So the meeting bids fair to be a fizzle, though the crowds are coming in. Disap- pointment has cooled the bubbling enthusi- asm of many. Where they do not openly protest they register a silent kick. They feel that ‘“‘De Ole Man” has been playing them for ‘“‘suckers’’ and they are warm under the collar. The hoar frost still Siege to Chauncey I. Filley’s opening of the State campaign. There are not more than 1,000 persons in at- tendance upon the meeting of the State League of Republican Clubs. Nearly all of these are delegates, and yet the repre- sentation provided dor in the call is not half filled. There should be 2,700 delegates alone. And as for spectators and shouting Republicans Mr. Filley has all along said they would be here in thousands. They have not shown up. “Wait until Wednesday,’ say the Fil- leyites, ‘“‘then you will see them come from every section of the State.’’ itt DEMOCRATS AT HHRI'S CUE JUDICIAL CONVENTION LATE IN COMING TO ORDER.

HEMOCRATS. Assembling of the State Convention at Fort Worth. Special to the Post-Dispatch. FORT WORTH, Tex., Aug. 18.—The Dem- ocratic State Convention was called to or- der at noon to-day by State Chairman Dudley. R. M. Johnson, editor of the Houston Post, will probably be made tem- porary chairman. e fight for permanent chairman will be one of the battles of the convention, and it is difficult to pick the winner. ™ # lake of Mexia, John Bookhout of Dallas and Monte Moore oft Cameron are candidates for the position. The plum will fall to either Blake or Book- hout, withe chances in favor of the lat- ter. It is almost assured that John H. Rea- an and Allison Mayfield will be two of the ailroad Commissioners, with Story, Mc- Call, Haines, Cochran, McDonald and Pey- ton from whom to select the third mem- er. Hon. W. F. Ramsey is in the race for Reporter of the Supreme Court, to suc- ceed the late Judge A. S. Walker. Thomas Smith of Hill County will nomi- nate Culberson for Governor. He is the same gentleman who nominat- ed him at Dallas two years ago. The indi- cations are that there will be a big fight over the Gegeral Land Commissionership, but it is thought to-day that the present in- cumbent, Baker, although an avowed anti- silverite, will be renominated., The town is full of politicians, nearly all the leading Texas Democratic statesmen be- ing present except ex-Gov. Hogg, who has not arrived. ; A Bryan and Sewall ratification will take place to-night A big parade and torch- light procession will be one of the events. Congressman Bailey will be one of the speakers, as will also Gov. Culberson. GRAND ARMY REUNION. Arrangements Made for a Great Dem- onstration at St. Paul. ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 18.—But two weeks remain for the preliminary work for the thirtieth encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic and the local arrangements are almost completed so far as the local committees are concerned. Letters thus far received warrant the estimate that not less than 30,000 veterans will be in line on the day of the big parade. The parade will be one of and for the veterans ve the com- mander-in-chief having ordered positively that there shall be no carriages in line. One of the sucessful features of the week will be the boys’ information brigade, an organization having been perfected among the High School boys to patrol the city and give information and directions to visitors, two boys being stationed at each street cor- ner, their marked white caps notifying the veterans that any needed help is to be had free of charge. The Loyal Legion have secured quarters | to their companions and friends. The Kitt- son mansion on Summit avenue has been fitted up as headquarters for the ladies and there will be held numerous receptions to the ladies of the various auxiliary societies and their friends. The general Grand Army receptions will have the ladies’ headquarters building for a center and will extend for half a mile along Summit avenue, with numerous sta- tions decorated for the occasion. The week will end with a reception by the Daughters of the American Revolution to the visit- ing ladies. THAT WHITECAP NOTICE. Swillum, Lindsey and Burnett Not Guilty of Sending It. Special to the Post-Dispatch, ASHLAND, Mo., Aug. 18.—Michael Swil- lum, a saloonkeeper; Merrick Lindsey and Leb C. Burnett, all of Ashland, appeared before Justice Pratt of Columbia last week to answer to the charge preferred against them by Ben P. Matthews of having sent him a “‘whitecap’’ notice, in which he was threatened with whipping if he did not.stop his opposition to the issuing of a n license to Swillum. After a long and tedious trial, in which the case was fully aired by attorneys for both sides, the jury in a few minutes returned a verdict of not guilty. This clears the defendants of the un- pleasant notoriety incurred through the publication in the Post-Dispatch of Aug. 4 of a dispatch from Columbia in which the receipt of the “whitecap” notice by Mat- thews was set forth and which represented the community of Ashland as much exer- Pcised over the incident. It was also declared that ‘“‘the lash was held over citizens who opposed the saloon license."” Yet, as a matter of fact, Swil- lum’s application for a license was granted on Aug. 3, only 43 persons out of 400 inhab- itants opposing it. Ashland is a peaceful village, and Swil- lum and his friends pooh-pooh the idea of whitecappers flourishing here. HORSES DEAD FROM HEAT. The Number That Succumbed in New York Was 1,258. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—The last horse that died during the previous week’s hot weather was removed from the streets early yester- day. The contractor was overtaxed that week by a death rate nearly equal to the death rate for six months of an ordinary year. The total of horses taken from the streets by the contractor's Own wagons was 1,258, and apparently all died of heat. Street car horses which died numbered nearly a thousand. There were a few deaths yester- day. The weather yesterday was perfect, and to follow it are more days just as pleasant. The indications point to at least three clear, comfortable days. There were a few deaths yesterday of per- sons who had been prostrated. in the Ryan Hotel and will keep open house No Hope While Gold Rules. the Bank of England. depreciation ig an impossible one. ‘*The fight against falling prices and stock Men are holding on in hopes of better times, but no bet- ter times can come in gold countries where gold appreciates. The pitiable army of the unem- ployed must increase through no fault of their own.’’—Mr. W. H. GrenFitt, ex-Governor of COCKRAN’S SPEECH TO-NIGHT. All the Bankers, Bond Buyers and Mo- nopolists Will Be There. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—No effort has been spared to make the Cockran gold standard meeting a success. The tickets have been spread broadcast. It is said that 50,000 have been printed. Thousands have been sent intO every assembly district. The big posters, announcing that Cockran would answer Bryan, were put up all over town. 3 The doors of the garden will be thrown open at 6p. m. Ali the doors will be used to admit people, and the entire floor space ~will be covered with chairs. From the number of white tickets is- sued it is expected that a crowd will gather which will: compare favorably, in point of nuimbers, tu the one which assembled to welcome Bryan. Choice seats have found the hands of speculators. Mr. Cockran is prepared to make the speech of a life devoted to speech-mak- ing. Yesterday Mr. Cockran examined the list of! vice-presidents who will occupy seats on the stage and give him their moral support and their applause. The roster reads like a clearing-house directory. Bank residents are common, and if the meet- ge were held in the daytime there would be no business done’in Wall street. The Bourse would be as silent as on Sun- day. 3 After regarding his vice-presidents’ names with pride Mr. Cockran went up to the arden and tried his voice. The new sound- ng. board which has been specially built for'this auriferous o¢casion proved per- fect. And about these vice-presidents. Daily the list has n added to. The men who are on the list have been reputed to be Democrats, and they are paraded in long columns to exemplify to the men who nom- inated Bryan_what the Democracy has lost. Many are “Hannaites,”’ and if put on the their way into 1 witness stand could give a good financial reason for their bolt. It means money them, the perpetuation of the single gold standard. Bankers, bond \buyers, mohopo- lists, corporation attorneys and apologists for monopolists. These are the classes of men who will groom and back Cockran in his effort. CAPTURED IN CHICAGO. Burt, Who Murdered His Family in Texas. CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—Eugene Burt, who is wanted in Austin, Tex., for the murder of his wife and two children about a month ago, was arrested in the Rialto building to-day. The dirk with whith his crime: was committed was found on his person and blood stains were still visible on his straw hat. His arrest was brought abeut through information furnished the police by M. J. Poindexter, a former resi- dent of Austin, who recognized Burt yes- terday loitering around the open of Burt admitted he was the man Eugene Trade. wanted. ENGLISH RAILROADERS. A Couple of Noted Magnates Coming to America. NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Frederick Harfi- son, general manager, and Robert Turn- bull, general superintendent of the London & Northwestern Railway. of England, are expected to arrive by the Cunard Line steamer Lucania on Saturday next. These gentlemen ate coming over on a tour of ob- one of the men threw his arms around Conductor Pritgherd, pinioning his arms behind him. One of his confederates ran his hands through the conductor’s pockets and relieved him of all the money he had, The hold-up wads Gone so quickly that ized what was being done. He called out to the motorman. Bunyard heard the conductor’s call and, looking back, saw the struggle on the rear plat- form. He shut off the current and brought the car to a standstill and started to assist the conductor Pritchard shouted to Bunyard to get his revolver. Bunyard didn’t havé one, but he had sufficient presence of mind to pretend that he had. With his hand in his hip pock- et he dashed through the car. The robbers saw his approach and scram- bled to get off the car. They scattered, took to their heels and ran. The hold-up is all the more daring in view of the fact that it occurred within a block or two of the Third District Police Sta- time, too, when the night force had just relieved the day force and all the officers were close at hand. Patrolmen Ford, Burke and O’Brien were going home on a car on the Union line, As their car was crossing Seventh street, at O'Fallon, they noticed the disturbance. The officers left the can and hastened toward the scene of the trouble, As the officers approached they saw the crowd separate and start to run away. Two of the crowd ran directly toward the police- ) One man was taken in custedy by Officer Ford and Officer O’Brien secured the other.

To-day the different individuals, who in one way or another in their official ca- pacities, aided in getting Smith as near to punishment as he got, are trying to show just how the other fellow is all to blame for the fiasco. And worse than that, by reason of depart- ment and personal jealousies or from some other motive, there is an evident disincli- nation upon the part of the authorities to move further in the case in order that this man, who fostered crime by pouring dr.nk into mere children, should be prop- erly punished, not only for the indéraction here charged, but prevented from further lawlessness by the revocation of hig license. A comedy of errors in the department of justice does not appeal to taxpayers as)a& particularly humorous condition, but there are about this case so many circum- Stances showing the ridiculous ease with wh.ch a guilty man may escape and so much flub-dub and fol-de-rol in the ex- cuses presented by the officials to avoid the responsibility therefor that it becomes positively amusifig. As reported in the Post-Dispatch of Mon- day, Smith went to trial in the Court of Crim’inal Correction during the morning. After four witnesses had testified that they were under age, had drunk beer in Smith's wineroom, the State rested, and Charles T. Noland, Smith's attorney, moved for the discharge of his client. Through him it then developed that in the information charging Smith with the of- fense the defendant’s"name had been left out. It also appeared through his argu- ment, and by dec:sion of Judge David Mur- phy on the bench, that the State had failed to make its case, in that it had not proved that Smith was the keeper of a dramshop, that Lyda Tillwein, the girl he was alleged to have sold the liquor to, was under age, or that the wineroom was connected with the saloon. Judge Murphy discharged the prisoner for these reasons. Now comes a most interesting squabble of intellectual giants as to who under the roof of the Four Courts is responsible for this condition of affairs. While the offi- cials talk Mr. Smith continues to sell drinks at his decollete establishment at Fourteenth Street and Chouteau avenue in a state of high glee. Tuesday morning a Post-Dispatch repor- ter was sent to the Four Courts to find out if possible how it all happened. After the expenditure of much shoe leather and a great deal of breath the reporter was unable to reach a conclusion. The arguments ad- duced were so artistically jumbled that a Columbus could searcely have found out what the trouble was. First the reporter dropped in on Chief of Police Harrigan and condoled with him over the triumph of vice. Said the Chief: “It’s not the fault of the Police Department. We furnished the Witnesses, and if the prosecuting attor- ney'’s office has failed in, its duty, this department should not be blamed.” It was suggested to him that, in view of the statements under oath of four per- sons that liquor had been sold to minors in Smith's resort, that he might transmit a Statement of this fact to* Excise Com- missioner Bell with the request that the license of the saloon be revoked. Said the Chief again: “This department as done its full duty. I do not purpose taking upon rvyself the responsibility for mistakes in the prosecuting attorney's of- flee. If the Prosecuting Attorney will send such a statement to me I will forward it to Mr. Bell.”’ The wheel then went upstairs to see As- sistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson, who issued the warrant. Col, Straightway into a jong argument to show that it was not his fault. t was the fault of Mr. Reber, the young man whom Prose- cuting Attorney Mulvihill put in his place when he (Mulvihill) went away on his vaca- tion. Mr. Reber had been to see him but a few minutes before and admitted it. “You see,”’ went on the Colonel, ‘all I did was to leave out Smith's name in the body of the information. It was in at the top. Now, that was only a clerical error, and did not affect the case. Reber failed to prove the -ase, and the Judge, of course, had to discharge the prisoner. I want to be set right in this matter. I am anxious to do everything proper to prosecute this man, and 1 do not wish to be put in the light of hindering such prosecution.”’ Col. Johnson was asked if he would issue another warrant for Smith. He could not charge him again with having sold liquor to Lydia Tillwein, but he could to Mabel Ray, who was one of the witnesses in the other case. “Now, if Maj. Harrigan will send an officer to me,"’ went on the Colonel, “and ask for another warrant I will gladly issue = but it’s not my place to take the initia- ve.”’ Then the Post-Dispatch reporter chased himself down two flights of stairs again to Maj. Harrigan and told him what Col. Johnson had said about what he'd do for him im case he asked for it. Said the Major again: “I'll send a police- man up to Col, Johnson if he requests it and have him ewear to partes he may know, but I won’t do so until am re- quested.”’ Then the reporter climbed back up stains once more and asked Col. Johnson if he was oing to ask Maj. Harrigan to ask a po- iceman to go to the warrant office and ask for a warrant. Col. Johnson didn’t say whether he would or not. He said this: “Before I leave this building I'll see Reber and I'll see Murphy and I'll see Harrigan and et Straight on this thing. I'm with you. "ll do what's right, but I want to see first where I am."’ During all this time the brilliant and. youthful Mr. Reber was busy trying some more cases in the Court of Criminal Correc- tion. When he was first seen he was in- clined to throw up the sponge and admit that he was an utter ass, but as an explana- tion, he went on to show how he couldn't have made the case anyway because of the defect in the information. f course, he didn’t make his casé. He admits that much, but he bolsters his Opinion of himself up by showing that if he had made it pper-riveted it would not have done any good. So there you are. The reporter tried to see Excise Commis- sioner Bell, so that he could tell how utterly impossible it was for him to make a move until Chief of a convict old on this Johnson went oengens trial has done is to W.C. T. U. to aggressive action. Mrs. -F. H.

This in- clusion of the ‘“‘settled districts’’ has been the chief obstacle in the way of arbitration, so that if the report of its removal is con- firmed the two governments appear to be nearer to an amicable agreement than at any time @ince the trouble began. Lord Salisbury from the first has insisted that this settled district was sovereign British soil, which could not be subjected to the judgment of arbitrators. Secretary OMmey has urged that the omission of this settled portion from arbitration would de- feat the whole scope of the arbitration, as the unsettled, or worthless’ sections, were not what Venezuela contended for. The latest view of this phase was present- ed in a brief by Mr. Storrow of Boston, of whose ability Mr. Olney has a high opin- ion. The Storrow brief was laid before the Venezuelan Commission as a part of the Venezuelan case, but aside from ‘this itis known that its line of argument was rapeegd to that taken by the Secretary of tate, Mr. Storrow pointed out thaf the “settled district’’ was in fact but little settled; that the number of British colonists there was comparatively insignificant; that their ‘‘im- rovements,’’ on which Lord Salisbury had aid such stress, were of the most meagre and primitive kind, and that the whole money value of existing British settle- ments, houses, improvements, etc., would be a comparatively small sum. From this the conclusion was drawn that so-called settled districts should not stand in the way of the adjustment of so large a question. There has been no intimation that this view was shared by the British authorities until the cable dispatches stating that, on what is believed to be the inspired authori- ty of the Bradford Observer, that the point was conceded by Lord Salisbury. The further suggestion is made that cash payment will be made for the improvements of the British settlers, in case Venezuela is awarded the territory, but no reference is made as to who will pay the indemnity, al- though it is construed here to mean that Great Britain will mollify those of her sub- jects who are dispossessed.

SALINA, Kan., Aug. 18.—After wrangling till 2 o'clock this morning over an ordi- nance to license “joints,’””’ which Mayor Hayward had vetoed and prevented from being brought up again for reconsideration, six Aldermen formed a “‘Rump’”’ Council by allowing Councilman Miller to assume the powers ot Mayor.

Russell Piano Co. Seized. CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—The plant of the Russell Piano Co., situated at 249-251 South Jefferson street, was closed by the Sheriff to-day on judgments aggregating $29,775. ‘Most of the creditors are Eastern concerns, Dolge & Co. of New York, having a judg- ment for $25,913. The assets and liabilities are placed by the firm at $85,000 and $64,000, respectively, but creditors are inclined to think that the liabilities will run some- what above the assets. The failure is as- cribed to the extreme dullness of trade. ack, OORT vl SEE The Meaning of ‘“‘Race Meet.”’ OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 18.—Chairman Cald- well of the Western Samscnnet Association has ruled that the term “race meet” applies to bicycle races as well as to horse races.

The Result of a Collision Between Two Yachts. SOUTH SEA, Aug. 18.—Ailsa, Britannia, Satanita and Meteor started this morning in a race for the Vice-Commodore’s cup and £25; Not long after the ‘start Meteor collided with Baron Von Zedwitz’s yacht, Isolde. The latter was dismasted, several of her crew were knocked overboard and Baron Von Zedwitz was so seriously in- jured by falling rigging that he was taken to the hospital at Ryde unconscious. The accident caused considerable ex- citement and confusion ashore and afloat when it was first reported that it was Emperor William’s yacht which had been dismasted. All the members of the crew of Isolde who were knocked overboard were saved by the boats from the other yachts. Baron Von Zedwitz died shortly after having been removed to the hospital. Baron Von Zedwitz was a German Privy Coun- cillor and a member of both the Reichstag and the Prussian Diet. He has been in Par- liament dor about twenty-five years and was an authority on finance, in politics, and was leader of the free Conservative party. Although comparatively a young man, he was unanimously recommended in 1890 by the State Cabinet for the then vacant post of Minister of Finance, but was not ap- pointed because the Emperor had taken a fancy to Dr. Miquel. Britannia and Meteor immediately hove to and lowered their boats for the assistance of the men struggling in the water. Ailsa and several yachts followed their example. Baron Von Zedwitz, when pulled out of the water, was found to have a bad cut on the head and was bleeding from the ears. He was taken on board a steam yacht which immediately made for Ryde, but he died while on board the yacht and not shortly after reaching the hospital, as at first an- nounced. Isolde, in addition to los'tng her mast, etc., had her bows stove in, and was towed back to the South Sea: Both races were abandoned. The Isolde is a 20-rater, built by the Herreshoffs, and was originally the property of Prince Leopold of Germany, for whom she was built, and subsequently sold to Baron Von Zedwitz. She was taken to England in April of last year. She is a twin yacht of Mr. Howard Gould's Niagara, which she has defeated several times. Particulars of the disaster show that, in passing the committee boat, the big yachts overtook the twenty-raters. Britannia and Meteor were then almost abreast of Isolde and narrowly escaped a collision. Britan- nia suddenly shifted her helm to avoid the Saint. when Meteor struck Isolde, sweeping her from stem to stern with her bowsprit. Isolde’s main mast and sails crashed over- board and carried with them nearly all the crew of Isolde and crushing Baron Von Zedwitz. JOHN BAKER’S CONTRACT.

Complaints continue to pour into the Health Office against the non-collection of garbage, and citizens who are suffering from the decaying refuse would like to know why the city presents Col. Ed Butler $160,000 a year for pretending to do some- thing that could be done well at a miuch less cost. There are to be seen on file in Chief San- itary Officer Francis’ department over 600 complaints from citizens who beg of the sanitary officers to give them some relief from the malodorous condition that abounds in nearly every alley in the city and ig hourly menacing its health. As published in Monday’s Post-Dispatch, many of these complaints show that their garbage receptables have not been emptied by-Col. Butler’s slop gatherers in a week and some for ten and fifteen days. All of them say that they would be satisfied with a collection of garbage twice a week under the terms of Col. Butler’s contract. Commissioner Starkloff directed that ev- ery inspector be ty at work on hage and weed inspection service. Their reports present a plausible defense.of Col. Butler’s way of doing things, and, in fact, show that the people are to blame and that Col. Butler is an ideal scavenger. Up to Tuesday the sanitary inspectors filed 1981 reports against people who did not have proper garbage receptacles and those who had none at all. These reports cover about two months. The ordinance provides that the receptacle shall hold fifteen gallons, not less nor more, so that is can be conveniently handled by the slop wagon driver. The reports of in- spectors show that people overcrowd the receptacle and the refuse is littered on the ground. The collector is not required to carry with him a spade to scoop up this overflow and consequently it is left in the alley to rot. These reports are gratifying to Col. But- ler, and he regards them as a vindication of his efficiency as the boss slop gatherer. Wherever an inspector finds a receptacle overfilled the owner is ordered to get an- other or two or three more if needed and the ordinance makes it incumbent on him to do so. As a matter of course from an official standpoint the returns of the inspectors outweigh any complaints that citizens make and the upshot of the whole business seems to be that if people don’t conform to the strict letter of the law in supplying proper and abundant receptacles and make it dead easy égor Col. Butler’s minions to go about and pick up the receptacles and turn them bottom side up into the wagon, they will be punished for neglect. The Board of Health at its meeting Mon- day evening made a supplementary contract allowing Col. Butler $48 per day for re- moving garbage from Union Market twice a day. This service is to continue to October, according to the board’s order, but ac- cording to the dictum of Comptroller Stur- geon, this double collection will last only about sixteen days and a half. Speaking of the Union Market garbage order the Comptroller said: “The Board of Health has a right to make whatever contracts it sees fit, I suppose, but I have told it that for the service named in the contract that there is only about $800 avail- able. When that amount is exhausted if Col. Butler wishes to go ahead and collect the market garbage twice a day he will do so at his own expense, not a cent more will he get from the city, so far as I'm con- cerned. : “Tt looks like there is a class of people who lie awake o’ nights scheming how they can spend the city’s money. It has always been so. Well, I’m staying awake a few hours mvyself—it has been too hot to sleep any- how—studying how to meet these well-laid spendthrift schemes and [ am going to protect the City Treasury from being raided if it can be done. TILLIE LEARY’S SPOUSE. He Treated Her So Cruelly She Wants a Divorce. Tillie Leary sued for divorce from John M. Leary. They were married Sept. 23, 1893. and lived together until May 14, 1896. The plaintiff says the defendant returned home drunk on Thanksgiving Day, in 18%, and from then until May 14, af this year, when they separated, he frequently _§re- mained away until the early hours of the morning, returning home drunk and abus- ive. . She alleges that the defendant frequently promi.ed to reform, and took a temper- ance pledge, but failed to keep it. About May 1, 1896, she says, he became so i!] from the effects of drink that he had to go to the Mullanphy Hospital. On his return he was so violently abusive that the defendant had to toave him. Mrs. Leary says that her husband had a rocery store and butcher shop, which he ost on account of his habits. the gar-° neininieneemmmeimienmmmniaanie SUCCEDENT Noose. AN!

St: Louis people have cause for re- joicing in the news that Shaw’s Garden is to be enlarged by the addition of twenty acres, and all lovers of the beau- tiful in nature will rejoice with them. The enlargement was much needed, in order to bring this botanical garden up to the first class in size as well as quality. The proposed expenditure of $1,500 an acre will doubtless make the addition @ beauty spot of which St. Louis may be proud. The small lakes that are prom- ised as a feature of the improvement are especially desirable. None of our parks or open spots have enough arti- ficial water. With this addition to Shaw’s Garden, the trustees should take into considera- tion the advisability of throwing the place open on Sundays. The Post-Dis- patch has before pointed out that the conditions have changed so greatly since Mr. Shaw's death, that the prohibition against admitting thé public on Sunday Ought no longer to apply. Henry Shaw Was not narrow in his idéas, and doubt- less if he could witness the great crowds that pass the Garden every Sunday, mow that the city has grown so much in pop- ulation, he would willingly abrogate this rule. Shaw's Garden will never be what it Ought to be to the working people of St. Louis until it is open to them on Sundays. That is practically the Only day they can fully enjoy the beauties of nature. Any garden or park closed to them on that day will remain, as far as they are concerned, an unknown country. —_—. —— THE NORTH POLE. It’s a good thing Nansen has not quite discovered the North Pole. He has come back just in the nick of time, when a perusal of his diary affords pleasant reading for the hot days. The household- er may now take his seat gn the ice chest, and with a big jug of cold lemonade and the story of the Fram fancy himself somewhere on the north coast of Siberia, with evidences of the ‘vlacial epoch all around him and the mercury snugly tucked away down in the bulb. If the North Pole is once discovered, it will be,one more link destroyed between this era of commercialism and the de- lightful time of adventure and explora- tion begun by Mungo Park, Drake, and those middle age worthies, before fac. tories, trusts, railroads and gold corners were thought of. When the poles have been explored, Africa has been settled, and the globe all mapped out by the geographers, we shall be left with nothing but money- making to engage our attention. The I] ' Commercial spirit will have full swing. The only migrations will be of men in Search of work, or of tramps, hopeless of obtaining it. The only adventurers will be newspaper correspondents, sent out to “work up” stories. Even they will wan- der for gain. There will be no opportun- ity left for cutting oneself loose from civilization with its rént and its debts. The allurement of the North Pole is found in the fact that there are no land. lords, no tax collectors, no collection agencies and no political bosses there. Long may it be so THE VISITING MERCHANTS.

Let us elect Bryan and meet it like men and Americans with a man in the White House who will stand for the plain manhood of America against all the usurers of the world. It is proper to say, however, that New not the United States on New York. It has no local support. It is a commercial city, more @ependent on Kansas and Illinois than on New Jersey and Connect- icut. If it should adopt the course out- lined, if the folly or the insolence of its immensely wealthy plutocratic class could commit it to commercial war on the peo- ple of America, if they begin to turn our farmers with their wives and children out on the roadside, if they threaten our banks with ruin and our merchants with dishonor, then the answer is that we are Americans and that we will know how to vindicate both our honor and our finan- cial stability. But what folly are these threats! What madness inspires them! As for the threat of what England will do if the United States dare elect a President not approved by English cap- italists, let us answer at once and finally. If England attacks us, as has been threat- ened; if it deliberately shows the hostil- ity to Americans which its Tories now assert will be its dominating spirit, then we will defend ourselves as best we can at any cost of money, of men, of ships. We will not be intimidated. We will not be subjugated. And M we are attacked, as has been threatened, the dismembcer- ment of the British empire is far more likely than the ruin of the United States. Let us understand each other. If th? control of the commercial policies, of the imperial statesmanship of the English people is to be surrendered to the Roths- childs, if they are to demand control of the United States also and are to threat- en us with the power of the British em- pire and with ruin every time we attempt to assert the will of our people in a Pres? idential election, then we are against the British empire, and as far as its un- crowned king, Baron Rothschild, can come out against us with its force fo ruin our people, to prostrate our indus- tries, to destroy our liberties and to establish a foreign plutocracy over us, so far we will go out to meet and check the insolence which now threatens us. But such threats as are now being made by angry plutocrats in London and Wall Street are mere midsummer madness. The ,people of Engiand and the plain people of New York are in sympathy with the masses of America and if the crisis were forced, they would show it. The campaign the Democratic party is now making is for the uplifting of humanity, in the East as well as in the West, in Europe as well as in America. It is a battle for higher civilization and not a man of those who are engaged in it will be frightened or turned back by the ravings of those whom Mr. Cleveland, while still in opposition to them, called the “communists of capital.”’ setdliciaptibmdiithcaasictn The very same people who were ready to denounce Bryan’s New York speech 2s “a dangerous piece of incendiarism,”’ are now gleefully exclaiming that it was “on the defensive throughout.” But they will find their mistake later on. The Andrew Jackson Democracy is moving on their works and Bryan is in his place at the head of a column that will not stop until it is over the parapet ani in possession of the guns of Wall street plu- tocracy. The assertion that free coinage at 16 to 1 will “reduce the value of the dollar about one-half is absurd. It will take us at least ten years to coin enough silver to give us an available supply of cash equal to that France now has in circulation. The question is of the ex- tent to which all values will be shrunk by further contraction to the gold basis and we will be ruined if we give it the wrong answer. a. it. a = Mayor Walbridge does well not to »e a candidate for re-election.

Mr. Von der Ahe has so decided. He is more than pleased by the ability Dowd showed when he took the club from Roger Conner. They had just lost fifteen straight games against weak teams. Dowd made them win eight out of ten against the best clubs in the league. “Of course, the team has lost on the present trip. With Sullivan out of the game it is not so strong. But I predict we will win a lot of games in the Last. “Mr. Von der Ahe has given Dowd orders to go ahead and build up for next season. Tommy is doing so. He wants to go back to center field and is now negotiating for a second baseman. Brooklyn wants to sell or trade us Shock or Daly for Donahue, We won't listen to that. Then Philadelphia has offered Hallman for Kissinger, another trade we won't make, as Dowd considers Kissinger a comer. ‘sir. Von der Ahe has heard that Con- nor, who plays second for Minneapolis in the Western League, is a comer. He has given orders to an expert to watch his playing and to draft h: if he thinks well of him. There is a tcher in St. Paul named Denzer that we would like to have. They tell me Connor is League size, very fast, covers ground, a good batter and a gZreat man on a double play or play at the plate. Daly, Schoch and Hallman are good men, but Mr. Von der Ahe likes young blood, and they are rather passee. “If Roger retires, as he says he will, we may play Parrott at first. Dowd thinks we ought to try and get Carey of Scranton, late of Baltimore. He is the greatest field- er that ever wore a shoe, but rather a lighter hitter than a first baseman should be. I think Parrott’s hitting will earn him the iob. “Hartman, Milwaukee's third baseman, is a man we would like to have for an ex- tra inflelder He was tried by Pittsburg two years ago and was let go. He has im- proved immensely and is a great thrower and hitte,. “We have three deals on now, with Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Minneapolis. 1 don't expect much of the first named. but I think the deal with Minneapolis will re- sult in giving us a good player. “We will trade any man on the team, save Dowd, Breitenste!n, Hart, Sullivan and Turner—that is, if we can get a better man for him.” BALDWIN’S RETIREMENT.

Myrtle Gillette is not the raving maniac some persons would have her. In fact, she left the City Hospital Tuesday morning, and is now living with Dr. Merwin’s fam- ily at 2011 Olive street, and will go to her home at Fredoria, Kan., in a few days. It is true that she iost control of herself Monday, went into hysterics and clutched at her thfoat, but whether it was an at- tempt to kill herself even she does not know, as now she remembers nothing about it. After she had been given into the care of Matron Harris she behaved admirably up till Monday afternoon. She said she wanted no more whisky or morphine, and was on the high road to reform. Suddenly Monday afternoon shesaw before her in the detention room the vision of Jas. B. Tucker, with whom she was when he killed himself at the Lindell Hotel, Aug. 5. She became hysterical, saw him burning in hell and begged and pleaded to go with hint. She said she was willing to die for him, that she loved him and would go and burn with him. Then she upbraided him for not tak- ing her with him, and she grabbed at her throat and choked herself. She was mad enough to have killed her- self and might have been successful had not Mrs. Harris and her assistant, Mrs. Flannagan, rushed in and prevented it. he was sent to the City Giepentace and fram there to the hospital, Sutter began treating her. She was feeling so well Tuesday morning that Dr. Sutter released her and she went to the home of Dr. Merwin on Olive street, where she will remain a few days and then go to her Kansas home. HE MAY RECOVER _- —_— wD - - -_— But the Chances Are That D. C. Thatcher’s Injuries Will Prove Fatal. where Dr. D. C. Thatcher, an Olive street restaura- teur, who is the latest victim of an accident at the Century Building, is considered in a dangerous condition. As was told in a late edition of Monday's Post-Dispatch, Mr. Thatcher fell through a defective board sidewalk in the rear of the building and was precipitated to the sub cel- lar, a distance of twenty-five feet, sustain- ing grave external and internal injuries. Monday night the sufferer was given mor- phine by Dr, A. V. L. Brokaw, the attend- ing surgeon, and was enabled to get some rest. Tuesday morning he was guffering acute pain, and to guard against the slightest d:s- turbance Mrs. Thatcher had the bell at the family residence, 3719 Olive street, discon- nected and a card attached to the door re- questing all callers to go to the rear en- trance. Mrs. Thatcher said it might be severai days before the physicians could tell whether or not the patient would recover. “Mr. Thatcher,” she said, “is a heavy man, and the shaking up he received was alone enough to kill an ordinary man. How he escaped instant death is remarkable. We hope for the best, but the reports of the surgeon are not as encouraging as we would like io have them. The men respon- sible for tne accident cannot be condemned too severely. It is reprehensible indeed to have such an insecure walk over such a death trap. Mr. Thatcher had businefs back of his restaurant. He stepped on the waik to get out of the way of a’cart. The plank turned with him and he fell in the cellar.

Fitzpatrick, the most fearned ‘f not the best known Catholic priest in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, lies helpless in the Mullanphy Hospital, a vic- tim of paralysis. His affliction igs known to only a few, as his friends have sought to keep his misfortune from the public. Fr. Fitzpatrick was stricken suddenly and without a m nt’se warning. As he was taking his seat at table at the home of his eister, Mrs. Catherine E. Byrne, 1432 South Tenth street, he fell to the floor. In an instant his entire left side was helpless, even his mouth being slightly twisted and rendered useless for purposes of speech. At resent his utterance is fairly good, but his ody is so badly ene ng that-his friends have only faint hopes for his Recovery. himself is perfectly resigned to\his ‘ot. Fr. Fitzpatrick’s affliction i to be due to the heat and to his intellectual labors. He has spent his life teaching theology in Catholic s aries and, as he is possessed of independent means, he has refused since his return St. Louis to accept a pagish, but has devot himself to the compoSition of an erudite work on theology and church law. Archbishop Kain appreciated his worth and made him an important member of the commission which recently completed a draft of diocesan laws.

Fitzpatrick was stricken on Ju and was promptly moved to the Mulla, ny Hospital. His condition is the more Re because he is 64 years old. 4 ~ improvement. ew priests have ‘had as varied Fr. Fitzpatrick. He was born in Simeon town, Md., and came to St. Louis with his pareats when he was a boy. His father opened a dry goods store on Sreatwhs and prospered, so that he was able to give his son an education at the St. Louis Uni- veeety. pamSucted by the Jesuits. ung Fitzpatrick showed great ti as a pupil and when after his gra ove mens he joined the Jesuits he was chosen to be ne of the great scholars of the order. He y his superiors to Louvaine, ous He has shown he Sant eligium, and there he received a training in theology and Shaieeeene heen as in the modern and the dead langu ' He returned to the United States, and was a Jesuit scholastic for 10 years, but he left the order before he was ordained a priest. He traveled extensively in Europe and took a course in theology under the Sulpicians in Montreal, Canada. He re- turned to St. Louis, and was ordained a priest by Archbishop Kenrick in the old Cathedral in 1800. He'was attached to the Cathedral as an @ssistant riest, and on account of his ability as a French scholar he was sent as a missionary into the French communities which surrounded St. Louis. After a time he was appointed assistant pastor of St. Bridget’s parish, and at the end of a few years’ service he was sent to OF ey Rye. he served as assis- o Father Hennessy, pa Io. ee rom St. Joseph Father Fitzpatri - turred to St. Louis tn 1870 and en atiinane oe aye sar enone at the same time g& the duty of an assistan ey A Angels’ Church.

He Tells the Goldbugs How Foolish Is the Attempt to Coerce Labor. A party of Democratic leaders were in the Planters’ Hotel lobby discussing the schemes of John Scullin, the Niedringhaus Bros. and other goldbug employers to ad- minister the gold oath to their men, when Col. Ed Devoy came elong and took part in the conversation. “You can rest assured,” he said, “that the workingmen of nowadays cannot be con- troHed at the polls by their employers. Just let them know that the bosses are trying to get them to vote a certain way and it is pretty sure they will yote the contrary, pro- tected as they are by the secret ballot. “I had some experience in this business and I know whereof I speak. When Col. Morrison was running for Congress over in the old Eighteenth Illinois District, I was in company with others operating some coal mines in the Belleville district and we em- loyed @ number of miners. We were all riendly to Morrison and in a manner our men could not construe as offensive tried to get their votes for him. It was the time the great tariff cutter made the race against Tom Needles. “In order te give the men time to get to the polls we gave them a half holiday on pay and they seemed glad to get it. They all voted, too, and as we discovered later every mother’s son of them voted for Tom Needles, Its a pretty ticklish thing to try to coerce a man into voting your way just because he works for you and with the Australian law to protect him it is not at all probable that he is going to fall into his employer’s way of thinking.’’ ACCUSED OF SHOPLIFTING. Woman Arrested at the Famous for Taking a Shirt Waist. The woman calling herself Mrs. Sarah Minor and whose correct name is said to be Meyer, was arrested Monday afternoon on the charge of stealing a shirt waist worth $1.30 from a counter in the Famous, Broadway and Morgan street. Mrs. Minor protested that she was innocent and vowed vengeance on the person who accused her, but .the police searched her home at #4 North Eighteenth street and found over $500 of goods. A ealeslady notified Mr. Attleson, super- intendent of the Famous, that she had seen Mrs. Minor slip the waist into a basket. Mr. Attleson had liceman Quigley follow the woman and arrest her at her home. The shirt waist and a tablecloth were found in her basket. Mrs. Minor is 63 years old’ neatly dressed and respectable. The merchandise found in her house included silk handkerchiefs, hos- lery, jewelry, linens and dress goods. Mrs. Minor spent the night in a cell in the Third District Station. She said she has three sone living in Chivago. One 8on, Frank Minor, works in a St. Louis nk and is married. A married daughter also lives here. HE DISAPPEARED.

Coal Dealer Frank Barutio Quarreled and Fought With Young Henry Becker, Then Shot Him. Frank Barutio, a well-to-do ice and coal dealer at 1906 Soudth Third street, shot and dangerously wounded his grand nephew, Henry Becker, Monday evening at the lat- ter’s home, 218 Geyer avenue. The bullet penetrated the right eye and lodged in the brain. Becker is still a’ive Tuesday morning he wad removed in a car- riage to the Alexian Brothers’ Hospital, where an operation will be performed with a view to removing the ball. Becker is but 22 years of age. He is the sole support of his widowed mother and a number of small brothers and sisters. He worked as a teamster for Jacob Schmidt, an ice and coal dealer at 914 Russell avenue. Barutio. who is under arrest, is 54 years of age. He is an uncle of Henry Becker's mother. The cause for the shooting was an old grudge. Barutio is said to have been in- toxicated at the time it occurred. About 7 o’clock Becker, his younger brother, John; Peter Oppenmann of 1903 South Second street; Oscar Kuring of 1410 South Eleventh street; Paul Martz and Otto Wagener were seated in the alley by the side of Becker’s home. They were talk- ing about hauling coke. Rarutio came through the alley on the way to his back gate, which opens into the alley. He saw the crowd there and made a sneering remark to Oppermann. Then he saw young Becker. Ever since the latter left him and went to work for his rival, Schmidt, there has been bad blood between the two. Rarutio walked up to the young men. “Do you want any money?’ he asked. “No; you don’t owe me anything,” the response. “Well, do I owe any one anything? asked the elder man again, spoiling for a fight. ‘Yes; you owe Wagner here three-quar- ters of a day’s’’— This was as far as Becker got in his reply. Barutio struck him and a fight began. Mrs. Becker was in the house, She heard the rumpus and knew what was happening. In great excitement she started / A the alley, but fell with an attack of,heart dis- was ease. Visiting women, however, ran out, and with the aid of the boys in the alley, sep- arated the belligerents. Becker had already knocked his grand uncle down once. The young man consented to go into the house. Barutio went away in a towering rage. Once inside Becker forgot his anger and began helping the women attend his moth- er. He stood by the window in the front room hoMing her in his arms. The shut- ters of the window looking out upon the alley were closed. Mrs. Becker was begging her son to fight no more. “For your sake, ._ mother, said. As the two stood there talking with Mrs. Katherine Uppermann, a neighbor, helping to support the half-fainting woman, Baru- tio came back down the alley. He had a revolver in one hand and a butcherknife in the other. A string of oaths and threats was pour- ing from his lips. As he passed the window of the Becker home he heard the voices within. He could recognize Henry’s., “T'll kill the —— —— black dog.” -he hissed the blinds and lis- as he stepped up to tened. Then he put the weapon to the slate an fired. The ball struck Becker .in 2 eye. He staggered and the women caught him and dragged him to the bed. Barutio fled. His random shot had caught the victim for whom he had in- tended it. A doctor was summoned and the police notified. Barutio was arrested at his home and locked up at the Soulard Street tion. Dr. Hartmann dressed wound and wanted him sent to a hos- pital, but his mother would not let him £0. For fear a Oe might die Barutio was aken to the ouse that Becke identify him. He did so. — Barutio was defiant. “Yes, I shot the — ——., “— only wish I had killed him.” When Barutio’s brother was asked what pe knew of —e moots. he said: “Noth- gz except that drink cause : YY the covet in him.”’ —- oung Becker is in a very dangerous - dition. He was able to walk with sented. ance from his house to the carriage which took him to the hospital Tuesday morn- ing, but the fact that the ®ullet is still in his brain renders a hazardous operation necessary—one which may prove fatal.

Dr. T. De Witt Talmage, the famous di- vine, passed Monday night in St. Louis. He came direct from Cincinnati, and early Tuesday morning left for the Piasa Bluffs Chautauqua. He will leave “there this evening to at- tend a Chautauqua at Savannah, Ill. Before his departure Tuesday morning Dr. Talmage was seen in his room at the South- ern Hotel by a Post-Dispatch reporter. He was asked his position on the money question. “T carnot define it,” Dr. Talmage replied. “T have studied the money question just as everyone has, but I cannot say that I have reached a conclusion.” Dr. Talmage is now in the midst of a lecture tour. He was asked which he con- sidered his fleld of greater usefulness—the pulpit or the lecture platform. “T have never compared them,” said he. “T lecture for pleasure and recreation. Some preachers keep a bicycle, others a yacht, and I keep lectures. My mission, though, is to preach the Gospel, and in doing that I find my greatest joy.” “Which of the two has proven the more remunerative?”’ “T have never measured that, either. I have taken whatever monetary returns have come to me, but I have never con- sidered the pecuniary phase of my work while I was performing it.”’ For seven years Dr. Talmage has worn no whiskers. Before that he had Burnsides of a sbrinking, modest nature that the late lamented Keppler had all kinds of fun with when Puck was ridiculing the eminent divine for his slum crusades. It was 15 years ago that Dr. Talmage origi- nated the slum crusades, afterwards made famous by Dr. Parkhurst. He originated them by visiting the Buckingham Palace in New York. He took his Burnsides with him. Dr. Talmage was asked Tuesday whether he had sacrificed these Burnsides perma- nently. “As for that,” replied he, ‘‘they never did amount to much. They were evanescent, and hardly worth the having. So I cut them off seven years ago. Had I known beforehand what a stir it was going to create among my reportorial and editorial frie.ds I would never have done it.” And the reverend gentleman passed his hand over his cheeks with reminiscent tender- ess. "Dr. Talmage stated, in parting, that, hav- ing accepted the call to Washington, D - he was well pleased with that city as a place of residence. Then he hastened away to catch the train for Piasa Bluffs. WANTS ONE OF HIS CHILDREN. H. E. Roberts Thinks His Former Wife Should Divide. E.

RUNAWAY HARVEY WELDON’S HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. BOUND TO A TREE WITH WIRE. Thirteen-Year-Old Lad Tells How He Was Cruelly Misused by a Band of Miscreants. Harvey Weldon, @ boy 13 years old, a run- away from his home at Olathe, Kan., has found refuge at the home of John Barry, a farmer a mile and a half southwest of Ellendale, on the Shrewsbury road, near the city limits. Young Harvey tells a story of almost incredible brutality and shows bruises, cuts and contusions as proof of the violence he has been subjected to, The boy staggered into Barry’s house three days ago so weak he could hardly walk. His face was battered and beaten and his hands were swollen. He asked for food and Mrs. Barry set before him a spread, after eating of which he felt bet- ter. She asked him how he became so bruised and he explained to her that he had beem captured by a gang of tramps near St. Peters, in St. Charles County, and that because he refused to bea party to an awful crime they beat him for two days and when they left they locked him in an empty box car where he remained two more days before being found and then he was in another city. He ran away from his home in Kaneas because his aunt, with whom he was liv- ing, was cruel to him. That was nearly two months ago. He walked most of the time from town to town, begging as he went. Sometimes he would steal a ride on a freight train, and at other times he would ride on wagons. His intention was to get to Chicago, where his married sister lives. He walked into St. Peters ten days ago, and remained there one day, collecting enough sandwiches from the residents to last him for another day’s journey. That night he slept on the depot platform, and early next morning he started eastward, making for St. Charles. When he was two miles out of St. Peters on the Wabash Railroad, he cdme to a side- track, on which were standing several empty box-cars. To the south of the tracks the wood began, and at the edge of it were seven tramps. Some were asleep, while others were lounging and looking up at the sky. They hailed the boy and told him to come down to them. He made no answer, but Kept on. Three of the men took after and caught him. They assured him that he n not be afraid, as they would not harm him, but when he reached their camp they_ unbut- toned his coat and the sandwiches fell out. They were hungry and appreciated the food, eating it without regard to the owner's feel- ings. Phen he wanted to go on, but they de- tained him. They made demands that he would not accede to dnd they tortured him. A long wire was secured from the tracks and the boy was bound to a tree. His hands and feet were tied, and he could not move. The tramps lay back in the grass, 20 feet from the tree, after collecting a pile of stones, chunks of wood and cinders. They made @ target of the boy. They seemed greatly elated when one of the stones would strike his face, and it was better when blodd was drawn. hey meee him there all ¢hat day and at night. e still refused to join them in dy gE omy! allowed him to remain there ext mor core of food. a ne ay wee y morning he was weak and limp. and — held up to the tree only by the wires about his body.
