The Triumph of American Independ- ence the Sure Road to Inter- national Bimetallism. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—The Journal to-day has’ the following over the signature of Dr. Otto Arendt: The people of. the United States have never been calleg on to decide a question eo important as that of the coming presi- demtial election. Never before was the di- viding line so sharply defined, and we un- derstand that the sovereign people of the United States mean for once to solve the social question which has in late years caused so many disturbances. Look at the two sides and mark the striking contrasts. McKinley represents the party of so-called honest money, the party of trusts and mo- nopolies, Their opponents we find under the banner of Bryan. These are the working- men and farmers who refuse to permit them- selves to be bled in future for the cause of the gold standard. uropean bimetallists ‘who have been fighting the gold standard for years regard international bimetallism as the true solu- tion of all the questions involved. My own views on that subject I have laid down in an essay published in the June issue of the North American Review, when I gave it as my opinion that the question of free silver should be settled only after an in- ternational agreement regarding the rela- tive values of gold and silver had been ar- rived at, for at that time I took it for granted that both parties would favor free silver in their platforms, though not to the extent of free coinage. With respect to the possible candidates, bimetallists, taking McKinley to be a thor- ough silver man, certainly regarded him with much favor. What sad d@isappoint- ment, however, came with the St. Louis Convention. Heaven high above McKinley, unfettered and unmercenary, rose Mr. Bry- an, who at once gained the respect and sympathies of the bimetalliste the world over. If I were an American citizen I would un- hesitatingly vote for the people's champion. A free coinage President appears to me a lesser evil than a Stock Exchange President, who would walk in Mr. Cleveland's foot- eteps. There are superficial people in this and other countries who imagine that if Mr. Bryan is elected in November ffee silver coinage will begin next March. They for- get that Congress must finally decide the question. Even should Mr. Bryan be elect- ed as President, he will mest probably call an extra session of Congress, and it would take several months before free coinage would be legalized. Spould he be elected, the bimetallists would gain formidable allies, while Ameri- can bankers would certainly do all in thefr power to forestall the depreciation of Amer!i- can values by. backing our cause of national bimetallism. All Europe has formally declared that bimetallism shall not be introduced with- out Great Britain's co-operation.

HERSI - Grover Is Not the Only Patriot Who Is Spending Time Fishing. us, the alternative is the McKinley tariff or Bryan free silver. In America it is McKinley coercion or Bryan free silver. It is really edifying to see how the Euro- pean capitalistic free trade and gold press raves over the arch tariff fiend, McKinley. You see, on this side of the ocean, the sil- yer question is recognized as paramount by capitalism. On the other hand, Mr. Bryan has the sympathies of the producing classes of all European lands in this cam- paign. You are fighting the battle of labor against the bourse, the battle of the farmer against the speculator. The victory of Mr. Bryan will be the begirmning of the peace- ful solution of the social questions, not through Utopian revolutionary schemes, but through a healthy economic policy for the maintenance and strengthening of the work- ing and producing classes. IN EUROPE. ONE Secretary Herbert and Postmaster: General Wilson Have Ostensible Reasons for Going There, ‘ Special to The Post Disva tft. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 22.—Secretary Herbert is already in England. Postmaster Géneral Wilson will soon be there. Pub- ‘licly and -for advertising purposes, the ob- | ' jects of their flight from home and country known. Herbert goes at Government expense to inspect armor-plate making in Europe, though all he had to do to learn everything that has been published on the subject was to press a button on his desk and send to the Bureau of Naval Intelligence. There cided on March 17 that nothing should in- terfere with the gold standard. Balfour | represents the remarkable and tionable view that no change of coinage should be imposed on financial men. In other words, the world of finance rules— the thjef is jailer. ques- | , Maces on the part of Mr. Herbert. will be more rest and avoidance of politics than face-burning by peering into hot fur- Postmaster-General Wllson will also seek rest from his rebellious constituents of West Virginia, who are fiery for free silver. Balfour waits and hopes patiently for the bimetallic conversion of London. That famous debate of March 17 has clearly shown what is thought of the question in the chy. When once it becomes fully un- derstood in London that Mr. Bryan is bound to enact the free silver coinage, without the permission of the Stock Ex- change, will not the fear of the decrease of American values bring about the city’s conversion? Then Mr. Balfour will fdllow | his bimetallic convictions, and in that case all Europe is conquered. It is self-evident that American people desire to be as independent of the manipu- lators of the bourses of New York and Chi- cago as they must be free from the condi- tions that govern speculation in Berlin and London. So-called silver fanaticism, of which we hear so much, Is really but a pro- test against shady bourse speculations that threaten the small man year in and year out. The American eiflver party, if it means to do its full duty, must not be content to There will be, moreever, a co&sultation with Postmaster-Generals all over Europe regarding the Internationa] Postal Congress to be held in Washington next May. But perhaps more impoftant than either mission will be the sel?f-assumed duty of sounding bimetallic sentiment in high quar- ters in England, France, Germany, Belgium ;and Holland. President Cleveland st!)] has it in his ‘power to reconvene the Brussels conference. He is, however, set against silver in any form as & money metal, so that no purpose can be credited to him of aiding such negotiation. But his «wo wanderffig secretaries fee] competent to wrestle with the bimetallic problem, GOT HER GIRL BACK. The Anxiety of a New York Mother Finally Relieved. Bpecial to The ‘Post-Dispatch. break the gold monopoly, but must also put an end to the fluctuations of the value of silver. This should be accomplished as follows: Immediately after Mr. Bryan as- Sumes h's office the United States should ask the Powers of Europe whether they desire a mutual un- derstanding with reference to free coinage. The powers will not} be long in formu- lating requests and submitting propoajtions, by whose adoption all cdéftracting parties will gain. Thus i may come about that international bimetallism and the best pos- @ible solution of the financial and economic Problems of the day will be the ultimate Tesulte of Mr. Bryan's victory. But how will it be should McKinley be elected? Nothing could act more disastrougly on the ae standard. Only Bryan can save American ajandard by an in ternational nderstanding. Government of the. NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—Catherine Hayes, 19 years ‘old, pretty and well dressed, was arraigned in the Jefferson Market Court this morning on a& warrant issued on com- plaint of her mother, who lives at No. 212 ' East Sixty-fifth street. Some time ago the girl became acquainted with Joseph Rinaldo, the son of wealthy parents, who lives at No. 138 East Seventy-fourth street. They became infatuated with each other, and three weeks ago ran away to Boston. Soon after the girl’s disappearance the mother notified the police, who lecateg her. A week ago the couple returned to this city and went to live together at No. 309 West | Twenty-second street. The girl kept off | the streets In the daytime, only going out -at night. A friend of the family met ber Thursday evening and followed her home. He told Mrs. Hayes, and last night she went to the house and waited for her daugh- ter to return. At 8 o'clock she saw the girl approaching. The mother pleaded with her daughter to return home, and ghe ‘pefused. Hot words followed, and the wom- en began to téar each other's bair. Policeman Churchill took both to the sta- tion, where the girl was locked up. Later she was bailed out by Rinaldo. In court this morning Catherine appeared indiffer- ent to her fate, and said that she supposed Rinaldo would make things al! right. iGo was not in court when she was ar- | She was given into the custody of ‘ ia by ot, 7 “ ae oe ‘ % eke | ¥& aa Ps : a Fe : > a ae ——— ad - : , — Court Officer Lucker of the Yorkville Court and was arraigned there. In.court Mrs. Hayes told the magistrate ki story. She said that her daughter had n ruined by Rinaldo. The girl said that she had*never lived wth Rinaldo and had gone to Boston to look for work. “I don’t believe you, and I have a good mind to send you to the House of Goo Shepherd,” said the magistrate. The ‘girl then changed her tone and prom- ised to go home with her parents and stay there. Rinaldo promised to let the girl alone in the future. “IT will parole the girl until next Satur- not behave we will have her locked up. If Rinaldo attempts to interfere with her, tell me, and I will issue a warrant for his ar- rest.” WILD RUNAWAY. Milkman’s Team Created Great Excite- ment on Montgomery Street. Wild excitement was created on Mont- gomery street yesterday by the runaway of a spirited team attached to a milk wagon belonging to Henry Steinberger of 6331 Flor- issant avenue. The team was in charge of John Steinber- in the heat of a presidential campaign are | ger, aged 18. He had stopped in front of a grocery at Ninth and Montgomery streets and was carrying in a can of milk. The team became frightened at a scrap of news- paper which was blown in their faces, and dashed madly west on Montgomery street. Cans of milk and cream were spilled pro- i‘miscuously about and were distributed along the route, | A crowd of children were playing in the '6treet just west of Ninth street. They did 'not notice the rapid approach of the mad- | dened horses until the team was within fifty feet of them. ‘ A man shouted at the children, and when they looked up and saw their danger they were almost paralyzed with fright. The wagon careened to the right and did not strike any of them. Willie Martin, aged 6, living at 924 Mont- gomery etreet, in his frantic endeavor to avoid the danger, fell: in the gutter. His left side struck the curbing and he was se- rio injured. The horses sped on, with young Steéin- berger after them. At Tenth street a colli- sion with a Bellefontaine car was narrowly averted, and one of the young lady occu- pants, Miss Nellie Meagher, was so badly | frightened at what appeared to be an inev- litable accident, that she fainted and was carried into a drug store. At Fifteenth street the team collided with a team of the Hyde Park Brewery. The pole of the lk wagon penetrated the breast of one of the brewery horses and in- jured it so badly that it had to be shot. BRYAN AND SEWALL To Be Notified of Nomination by the Silver Party. CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 22.—The notifica- tion committée appointed by the Silver Con- vention, which assémbled at St. Louis, Mo., on July 22, 1896, to notify Hon, W. J. Bryan | of his nomination by that comvention as the candidate of the Silver Party for the office of President of the United States, will meet at Lincoln, Neb., Mr. Bryan’s: home, on Sept. 8 1896, for the purpose of notifying Mr. Brya@ on that date of the action of the convention. Mr. Sewall will be there also on that date to receive notice of his nomin- tiom as candidate of the Silver Party for Vice-President. George A. Groot is Chair- man of the Notification Committee.

O’BRIEN’S STEAMER SLIPS AWAY FROM PHILADELPHIA. RIFLES, TOO, AND MACHETES. ; Were Very Cléverly Car- ried Out. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—A large steamer left Philadelphia nine days ago, loaded with the biggest cargo of munitions yet dispatched to the insurrectionists, at a point off the Delaware Breakwater, and steamed ‘away for Cuba‘without Spanish spies or ' Government officers being any the wiser. Capt. O’Brien was in charge. The prepa- ‘rations were begun as long ago as April, ‘when Capt. O'Brien, in whom the Cuban leaders have absolute confidence, and a | committee from the Junta set about secur- ing a suitable ship. The steamer Howard was found to be the best adapted for the purpose of the Junta. Capt. O’Brien at that time gave her.a twenty-four hours’ sea trial with several leading Cubans aboard, It is believed she was the ship which finally car- | ried the expedition. The cargo consisted of | 66,000 pounds of stick dynamite, a dozen field guns of heavy caliber, several thou- sand rifles and machetes, dozens of big cans of cartridges and a lot of surgical and medi- cal supplies. Captain O’Brien has made elaborate prep- arations for the landing of the cargo. He is the originator of a method for trans- ferring packages at sea by means of a wire from the mast of one vessel to that of anoth- er. The captain was as shrewd in escaping the eyes of the Spanish with this last ex- pedition as he has been with others. Closely watched by detectives in the Spanish em- ploy, and by Government officers, he and mers successively made his fellow sche TE Friends, the Commodore and other vessels. The Laurada was loaded with a spurious cargo off the Jersey coast, finishing on August 9. That the Spanish were misled by this ruse is proved by the dispatches of last Thurs- day that the Laurada had been cornered by a Spanish gunboat. Meantime the real ex- pedition was preparing, and soon after the “covering” of the Laurada was reported it got safely away. The cargo was loaded in a legal manner, so far as the Government is concerned, and the consignment is reg- ular. It is said the amount of dynamite taken is the largest ever shipped out of this country since Captain O’Brien carried his famous consignment of dynamite to Hayti for General Hippolyte in the schooner yacht Rambler. Captain O’Brien is known as a first-class sailor and a resourceful man. His friends are confident he will land his cargo. MURPHY CONFIDENT. Says Bryan Will Carry New York and Gorman Is of the Same Opinion. al to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—“T feel we cannot only elect our State ticket, but that Bryan and Sewall will carry the State of New York. I feel certain of this.” Thus sald Senator Murphy, Jr., to Anthony N. Brady ande number of friends who went to Long Branch this week to secure his opinion on the situation. In the many years that Senator Murphy was chairman of the Democratic State Committee he proved himself unequalled in his correctness regarding future political results in this State. During his chairmanship he con- ducted only ond losing campaign, and in that he predicted defeat. It was the May- February. Preparations Were Begun in April and. He hopes to take an active part in the campaign, and will attend the Buff- alo Convention and lead the forces which be- lieve in the supremacy of a Democratic Na- tional Convention. Ever since the Chicago convention he has been in correspondence with Democrats in every county of the State, and has had countless visitors. Senator Gorman, who has been in Sara- toga for a week, where he has met Demo- crats from all over the State, has written a i@ter in which he says he agrees with Senator Murphy’s opinion regarding pros- pects of Democratic success in this State. It is understood that Senator Gorman wilj have the National Campaign Committee make a hard contest in this State. The members of the committee so far appointed are not only political but personal friends of both Senators. Leaders in the city and up the State feel that there has been a serious political disagreement between Senators Hill and Murphy. Although the senior Senator has twice visited Normandie-by-the Sea, which is only a short distance from Senator Mur- phy’s summer home, he has failed to call upon his friend and colleague. FIRE IN A MINE. Owing to Great Los# the Mine Will Be Closed. DAYTON, Tenn., Aug. 22,—A fire is raging in the Mason coal mine, owned by the Dayton Coal and Iron Company. Coal was ignited by a blast, the fire being communi- cated by the presence of gas in entry No. 26. Owing to heavy loss the mine will be closed on Sept. 1, throwing 500 men out of employment. The terrible explosion and holocaust of last January, in which twenty- nine men lost their lives, occurred in this mine. SOLDIERS’ REUNION. Christian County Meeting Near Ozark. Comés to a Close. Special to the Post-Dispatch. OZARK, Mo., Aug. 22—The Christian County soldiers’ reunion closed here to-day with a very large atténdance. The en- campment was on the Finley Bottoms, one mile north of town. Speeches were made by Judge W. D. Hubbard of SpFing- field and J. J. Bruton, Joel Smith, C. C. West, George Pettijohn, William Spivy and other citizens of Christian County. RAILROAD RATE WAR. The Clover Leaf and the Wabash Are Hard at It. CHICAGO, Aug. 22—The Clover Leaf made some trouble for the Western lines to- day by announcing a rate of $12 from in- terior points to Mackinaw and return. The Wabash at once announced that it would make this rate good via Chicago. Efforts were made to have the Wabash keep the cu: out of the Chicago market, but it was found impossble for it to do so, and the rate went into effect accordingly. KUBHN'S BAD DOG, It Attacked Fre@ Helwig and Toré Three Dangerous Wounds in the Man’s Thigh. Fred Helwig, 40 years old, living at 1718 North Tenth street, is in imminent danger of dying from hydrophobia. He is suffering from three ‘bites of a dog, each of which has lacerated and torn the flesh an inch or more. Adolph Kuehn, the next door neighbor of Helwig, is the owner of the dog. The ani- mak would have killed the unfortunate man had he not been beaten off with a club in the hands of Kuehn. The dog is a big, vicious cur, that has long been a ter- ror to the neighborhoed. He has bitten several people. Kuehn keeps the dog chained most of the time, but\when he lets him loose he goes on a hunt’for human flesh, and boldly at- tacks the frst person that comes in his way. Yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock Hel- wig was going into his house by the rear gate. Kuehn had just unleashed his dog, and it sprang at Helwig, biting a good mouthful out of his left thigh. It then bit him twice on the right leg. All three wounds are bad ones. Helwig was brought to the City Dispen- sary, and Drs. Thompson and Johnson cauterized and dressed the wounds and gent him back home, HE COULD NOT SWEAT And in a Fit of Fear About the Heat Wolfgarn Bruckner Hanged Himself in His Room. Wolfgarn Bruckner, a cooper, committed suicide at his home, 825 Ann avenue, yester- day afternoon because he could not perspire. Bruckner worked very hard at his trade and during the recent hot spell he stood the heat well so long as he perspired freely. Friday he told his wife that he feared the heat was getting the better of him, as his pores seemed to be stopped up and he felt generally depressed. Friday night he tried almost every known means to get up artificial perspiration, but without success. He went to work Satur- day morning as usual, but returned at noon feeling badly. : He went into his bedroom. Two hours later Mrs. Bruckner entered HES KING. ‘OF BORROWERS, BUT JOHN F. PARKER GOT TO THE END OF HIS ROPE. WAS AN ORIGINAL SCOUNDREL. : He Made the Von Schusters Pawn Their Belongings to Sup- port Him. Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—At last the “King of Borrowers” stands in the shadow of justice, and some time soon he will proéb- ably feel the strong arm of the law. John . Parker of London and New York, better own on this side of the ocean as John P., Emery, was found last night In Bellevue Hospital, suffering with rheumatic fever. Hugo von Schuster says that Parker swindled him out of all his money, and he has sworn out a warrant for bis arrest. Mr. Parker is declared to be one of the sliickest confidence men that ever worked Broad- way. Nearly evéry theatrical man, hotel man and man about town is his victim, The main suffgrer is little Mr. Van Schus- ter and his wife, who live in a boarding house at lll West Thirty-second Hugo is a kind-hearted clerk He we Mr. Parker in May and liked him so 4 that he asked him to share his Mr. Parker went there and proceeded i hypnotize his friend’s young wife, Parke was always expecting a large remittance from his bankera in London, and gradually persuaded the young couple to pawn all their household goods to buy him clethes and food. Every dress that Mrs, Won Schuster owned went to the pawnshop to gratify his wants. Even her wedding ring was pawned. He borrowed money of Von Schuster’s employer until, the innocent lit. tle German was dischargel, He ‘represented himself to be a lterary man and a sub-editor of the New York Herald. He said that newspaper paid its men in alphabetical order, and when they got down to him he would have $600 back pay. Mrs. Von Schuster wrote to her weathy sister in Boston, at his dictation, and told her she wanted no more to do with her. Parke @nee"TS"be an illegitimate son of the Prince of Wales, a godson of Bilen Terry, sweetheart of Lillian Russell and an intimate friend of Grover Cleveland. He organized in his imagination the roy-” Sketch Company of No. 3% King WwW street, London,-.and made Von Schrister believe himself the manager. On Aug. 10 he disappeared, and then Mr. Von Schuster commenced to hunt up his record. ._He found that the man for whom he sacrificed his all was a scoundrel of the first water. On Aug. 17 Parker was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. He had been oliceman in Madison gk RRS ety name of jhe: Parkegy' 24 years old, single, clerk, No. 38 King William street, London, England.

Parker looked steatily into his eyes and asked for a loan of $6. ; “I expect to hear from my bankers Saturday, and when I do you shall have a hundred pounds,” said he. Supt. Murphy restrained Von Schuster or he would have gone out and pawned the coat he wore to give Parker money. Mr. Murphy talked to. him and told him it was his duty to go te court and get a warrant. , CUT NEAR THE Fight Between Teamsters May Result Fatally to William Daven, Who Was Stabbed by Frank Robinson. ri William Daven, 1127 Collins street, & young teamster, working for Sullivan & Quinn at 1%8 North Ninth street, was cut the room and found her husband hanging | limp and lifeless to the bedpost. He hanged himself with a small piece of leather belt lacing. Bruckner had no financial or family troubles and the effect of the heat upon his system is regarded as the cause of his deed. He leaves a wife and a 10-year-old daughter. GOLOSSHL ROBBERY BY ENGLOND. J. Barr Robinson, an Eaglish student of finance, speaking before the Society of Arts oa January 19, 1893, said: “It is already a question how much further the holders of securities are to receive the assistance of a continually contracting currency to enable them to go on absorbing further and further the wealth of the producing classes. Such a colossal unearned increment as has accrued to the holders of securities valued in gold during the last twenty years in Europe and the United States, amounting to not less than from seven billion to nine billion pounds, is entirely unpar- alleled in the history of the world, and all other public questions sink ifito utter insignificance compared with it.” —_ — auntie _— —- - ee ee i tee under the heart by Frank Robinson, a fel- low teamster, while they were arguing over socia] differences in the yard of their employers. Daven was wounded very seri- ously just under the heart and may 4Gie. Robinson was arrested by the Fourth District police and taken to. the statioa, where he confessed that he had cut his companion, but put up a claim of self-de- fense. He said Daven and another young man had assailed him with a wagon stake for the purpose of doing him up. He claimed that Daven started the fight and that he was compelled to use his knife. Daven, on the other hand, when taken to the Dispensary, said that Robinsen was in the yard when he went in and was play- ing off drunk. They bad some words over the affair end Robinson went at him with a knife and made «4 vicious stab at him. He tried to defend himself with a wagon stake, but fell to the ground from the wound inflicted by his adversary, Daven was sent to » the City } Hospital OUT OF SIGHT. - | | l i ai ee 2 ee ee om ee e yy ies a ee a a* = Re : ee HEART.

Republicans and Populists Are Equally Sure, But Indications All Point . the Other Way. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Aug. 22,—The pol- | cerned several | {ee silver. itical kaleidoscope has suffered turns of its majestic crank in Illinois dur- ing the past seven days, and the situation has changed with the “‘machine.”’ The most noise during this period has been done by the Republicans; the most “still hunting” has been done by the Pop- ulists, while the most “‘thinking’’ has been done by the free silver Democrats. Each of the above have strictly attended to the lines attributed above, and report much progress and ask to be continued on those lines. The Republicans have listened to speech- es every night during the past seven; they have employed bands, glee clubs and other accessories each day of the week, and they have about covered every precinct in San- gamon County during the same time. The reports from every county in the central portion of the State, the northern por- tion, and from Egypt herself, show a like situation. Summed up in a paragraph, the past week has been one of extreme activity for the Republicans; one of “getting together’’ for the Populists, and one ef serious thought and deep scheming by the free silverites. Each of them are satisfied—wholly so—with the way things are shaping up. The Re- publicans are claiming the earth with a short mortgage on the heavers; the Popu- lists are confident of success, while the Democracy are waiting for the bugle to sound “boots and saddles’ to be in the game to the finish. Each side holds itself well equipped for the fight, and each is assured of party success. Reports from over the States, as received at the various head- quarters here, show the situation as above, with perhaps a small gain for the Silverites in point of new recruits. The Repub- licans claim additions to their ranks from the old party, but the numbers reported at headquarters are small as compared with those received at Democratic headquarters Chairman J. Otis Humphrey, of the Re- publican Central Committee, says: “The situat on is beautiful for Republican suc- cess and we will eleect every man on our ticket from President to Coroner by a cool hundred thousand majority. The Democrats are broken up over the money question and los'ng ground every day. We have made great gains during the past week and are still gainyng. The cause of Republicanism is moving onward at a tremendous rate and. success is absolutely ours."’ (Chairman Taubeneck, of the People’s party, says: “‘That we are gaining ground there is no denying: that we have made great inroads into Republicanism ts also a fact, and that we will win in November I feel doubly assured. This talk that we are ‘split up’ is not true. The talk also that the Democrats cannot secure places on the r State ticket for our four Presidential electors is also bosh. The four Populist electors will be placed on the State ticket just when the time comes, and not before. The men will resign and our men will be placed on. That's all there is to it. We are united as firm as a rock. We will win.”’ Chairman Hinrichsen of the Democrats says: “Bryan'will surely carry Illino!s, no matter whether a third ticket is put up or not. It will make no earthly difference whether the voters who gavor the gold Standard center théir votes on one candi- date or divide them between several, for the reason that Bryan will poll more than 650 per cent of the total vote in the State. We expect to lose some Democratic votes, but these will be but as a drop in the bucket compared with the votes that will come to us from free ailver Republicans, | have be- fore me letters from various places showin these changes of heart to be substantia and numerous, Morgan County, my home, my ® normal Democratic ma-. f 50; we will carry it Bryan and Altgeld by 1,000 majority. Other counties will do equally as well if not better. In Menard County many gains for our party are recorded, and other counties report a similar gain, We | @re winners—sure.”’ Changes of political heart has been a | great subject in Illlinois during the past week, and the Democrats have secured the whip-end of the argument. f rhe Republicans Claim the following | changes" from Democracy or sound money Democracy to Republicanism during the week: Judge Wheeler, ex-Senator Shum- way, Judge R.

Special to Phe Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Aug. 22.—Nomina- tion papers have been coming in very slow- ly the past week. They must all be in by Oct. 3 Those not in by that day will not get on the tickets. But one Congressional nomination was filed thie week, besides an “‘indorsement”’ of the Populist, and the one filed has created an amount of gossip as to “What does it mean?’ The papers referred to were for “Thomas E. Ford, Democrat, Congress, Twenty-first District.”” Mr. Ford some time ago resigned the nom:nation given hm in that district, and at a subsequent meeting of the Congressional convention, held at Nashville, on. Jehu Baker, of Belleville was nominated in Ford’s place. Baker is also the nominee of the People’s party for the Twenty-first District. he Democrats accepted Ford's resignation and placed Jehu Baker on their ticket for Congress. Baketf, by the way, has not yet filed hjs nom:na- tion papers here, and Everett J. Murphy, Republican, has h's alveady filed. ith the absence of Baker’s nomination papers and the filing of Ford's the ques- tion has pertinently been put to Secretary of State Hinrichsen: Will Ford’s name go on the ticket and Baker’s be feft off?’’ The Secretary has replied that all papers that are filed in accordance with the Aus- tralian ballot law, will be placed oh the official State ticket. “If Mr. Ford’s papers have been filed tn my office (which they have), his name Will certainly be placed on the ticket for Congress from the Twenty- first Congressional District, as the Dem- ocratic nominee, provieies. of course, he does not Pesign and request me, officially, to take his name off the records in my office.” The nominations filed during the past week, up to this (Saturday) night, are as follows* Twenty-first District—Thomag E. Ford, Demetrat. Seventeenth District—Ben F. Caldwell, Populiste He is also the nominee of the Democrats in this district.

RepuDlicans, Democrats, Populists and Prohibitionists have-held their State conventions and nomi- nated a full set of State officers. Not a line ie on record with the Secretary of State to show that such an event has ever trans- ired.

Lands to Be Visited by Detectives. of — — At 3 o’clock this morning a squad of de- under the immediate direction of Assistant Chief of Police Kiely, left the Four Courts in the bad district. The saloons were not the only eStablish- ments the officers had in view. On their Lists were marked the wine-rooms, the to be shelter for thieves. The object of the raid was to arrest and had a lice record. It has come to the' police that after 2 o’clock in the morning | the very men for whom they have been looking have been in the habit of visiting the resorts. It was the object to get these local thieves and toughs that the raid was ordered, Chief Desmond was moved to take this ac- tion by the numerous robberies and other city for the last two weeks. All the known crooks who sleep at night and work in the daytime have been arrested wherever a! have been found. Now the e men who sleep in daytime and work at night. On the list of the places to be visited by the officers this morning were most of the ali-night saloons in the Third Police Dis- trict. Besides those there were the opium oints in “Hop Alley and the saloons in the urnt district of Chestnut street. It is the intention of @hief Desmond to continue early morning raids until the city is cleared of the known bad men. If the | prisoners ean not be identified as particl- pants in any particular crime they will be | sent to the Police Court as idiers and the effort of the prosecution will be to give them a limited number of hours in which to leave the city. , GASTREICH AND EVESON.

WAS INTENDED TO DO SO. It Menaced the Money Lenders .and Leeches, and Their Opposition Is Natural. TIVOLI-ON-HUDSON, N. Y., Aug. 22.— The Democratic candidate for the Presi- dericy, William J. Bryan, spoke to 1,500 peo- ple a’sembl4a around a platform in the village square at Madalin this afternoon, and for forty minutes discussed the finan- cial isaue from the bimetallic point of view. He was seconded by Senator Stew- art of Nevada, who started to explain what he termed the “crime of ’Z,”” but was cut short by a relentless shower which had been threatening throughout the afternoon. An introductory speech was made by Hon. John J. Lenz of-Ohlo, a silver candidate for Congress. Mr. Bryan was welcomed at the edge of the villagé by the Reception Committee and a brass band which, followed by the Bryan and Sewall Club, escorted Nye Boe'y to the square, to the music of “Hail to the Chief.” The boom of a' field nounced his &rrival. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were heartily cheered as they stepped to the platform. The Chairman of the com- mittee, Hon. Frank Ormsbee, introduced aan aidate. Mr. Bryan said: Mr. airman, Ladies and G : When our party at Chicago Weete the nine: form which it did we knew that it would offend some people. No party. can take a plain, strong, emphatic position upon any question without offending somebody. We declared in that platform what we believed was right; we described the policies which we beliéved were best for the American people, — we —s that it would alienate e. me read one of ae platform: the planks of “We are opposed to the issuing of i “ est-bearing bonds of the United States in times of peace, and condemn the trafficking with banking syndicates avhich, in exchange for bonds and at an enormous profit to themselves, supply the Federal Treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold monometalism.”’ “That is one of the planks.” the crowd: ‘A good one.’) “That was not put in there to love of those who have grown ric tof the Government’s extremities. (Applause.) We did not expect those who have a passage- way from the Federal Treasury to their of- fice to join with us in closing up the pass- age. We did not expect those who are mak- ing a profit out of the gold standard d out of the embarrassment it brings to the Treasury; we did not expect them to join with us in putting an end to the gold stand- ard. Why, if we had expected it, what would we have expected in the face of all the history of the past? Do you remember the good book states that some 1,800 years ago a man named Demetrius complained of the preaching of the gospel? Why, he said, it destroys the business in which we are engaged. We are making images for the worship of Diana and these people say that they be not gods that are made with hands. But Demetrius was much like men who have lived since his day. When he made up his mind that the preaching of the gospel interfered with his business he did not go out and say to the world: ‘Our bus!- ness is being injured and we are mad.’ What did he say? He said: ‘Great is Diana of the Ephesians.’ piece an- (A voice in tract the ‘We have some to-day who are very much like Demetrius. They know that the resto- ration of bimetallism destroys the business in which they have been engaged. But when they make public speeches they do} not say that the Democratic party is wrong because it interferes with our busi. ness. What do they say? They say ‘great is cound money, great is an honest dollar.’ (Appiause.) “T say this platform was not written to, attract their votes. It was written because we want to destroy the business in which they are engaged. But, my friends, if those who have made a profit out of the Gov- ernment’s financial policy array themselves against the Democratic party, may we not expect those who believe that we are right to come to our rescue and fill up the ranks that are being depleted by their desertion? If we must part company with those who believe in a Government of syndicates, by syndicates and for syndicates, may we not appeal with confidence to those who believe that a Government of the’ people, by the people and for the people should not perish from the earth. (Applause.) “If these men who pride themselves upon their prominence in the business world and who glory in the title of business men are going to make a business out of pojitics, are going to use their ballots to increase their income, I beg you to conslacer whether the great toiling masses of this nation 2ave not a right to make a business out of poli- tics once and protect their homes and their families from _ disaster. (Applause). The founders of our Government never con- ceived that the time would come when there would only be a few people in this country who were competent to settle great — questions. If they had they would ave written in the constitution tHat on most questions most everybody could vote but on the money question the people who were financiers could vote. (Applause). “Our opponents of the gold-standard De- mocracy are all linked as to the policy which should be pursued. They all want the same object. They all want to ele>t a Republican candidate, because they be- lieve that Democarcy is better exemp'ified through Republicanism (Laughter). Some of our opponents say the gold standard i: @ good thing, while others say ‘what we want is bimetallism, but we-cannot have it until somebody helps us.’ (Laughter.) If the gold standard ‘s a good thing, why should we want bimetailism? and yet if they ever have two men making speeches the same night the chances are 16 to 1 (Laughter) that one of them will pra‘se the gold standard as a good thing, while the other will tell you how anxious they are to get rid of it. “One man says the reason why he does ,mot want free coinage is that he does not think that the Government should pass a law that will en&ble the silver miners to take 60 cents worth of silver bullion and | convert it into 100 cents. Of course he may be in favor of a system of taxation that would give 200 or 300 per cent profit, but that does not count. What a terrible thing to allow these silver miners to make that profit. «Then the négt man who comes will say as & matter of fact the Stamp of the Governmemt adds nothing to the value of the coin, and the free coinage of silver gim- ‘ply means that you can convert 50 cents worth of silver bullion into a 50-cent dollar (Ap- plause.) “Now you can see the absurdity of it. If the silver miner under the law of free coinage finds that his silyer bullion is raised so that that which is now worth 50 cents will. be worth a hundred cents then there are no 50 cent dollars, and if the other man | _is correct and the law adds nothing tu the value of the metal and you simply c , 50 cents worth of silver into a 50-cent Gollar, then the mine owner has not made a cent. Well, then, you hear another speaker say there has been no fall in the prices and he will denounce the people who are compiain- ing that gold has rigen in price, and then his colleague will tell have prices fallen, but that !t is the great- est blessing in the world to have prices fall. “Our opponents do not dare to say that the gold standard is a good thing, because no party in the history of this country and they do not dare to say that the standard is a bad thing and then tell 000,000 of people they have got to suffer u some we nat.on a them relief.

(Applause). . “Now, my friends, when you make up your minds that the gold standard is a bad thing then the only question that you have to consider is Row can you get rid of it. They can raise objections to the plan whic we propose, but if coinage makes a silver dollar equal to a gold dollar, why ths it will be just as hard to get a silver dollar as it is to get a gold dollar. Do you know what they overlook? They overlook the fact that when we bring silver into compe- tition with gold.we increase the supply of standard money; that while the silver dol- lar will be worth as much as the gold dol- lar, it will be easier to obtain, with the product of toil, a silver dollar or a gold dollar, than-it is to-day? (Applause). “If there is any person here who is afraid that under the policy proposed by the Chi- | ‘Are you a Democrat?’) ca@o platform we are going to have a flood i= money and that you will be drowned -in t, ,@nce is such that he is willing to risk the disastrous consequences of that flood upon him, we ask you to consider whether we are not entitled to your vote. (A voice I think that the principles which I advocate are Democratic. (A voice: ‘Are you a Democrat?’) I am my- self, but you can call me any name you please.

I assert that the Americans not |only have the right, but the ee to legis- | late for themselves on every question—every | question, no matter what other nations | may think about it. (Long applause.) The ‘man who says that bimetallism is de- sirable and yet that the United States is im- potent to bring these advantages to our people has made an admission that I shall not make. We appeal to you to remember that the: United States is the only nation that stands ready to protect its own people from every danger, foreign and domestic. (Applause.) “Other nations may protect their people as they should but our nation is the only nation that can protect the American peo- ple. I can suggest that you are interested not so much in knowing the objections to our plan as in knowing what plans the opposition have to relieve the conditions. Why don’t they propose something? It is because they do not know what ought to be done. So they are poor people to lead you out of bondage. (Laughter). “Is it because they know and will not tell? If so they have not the candor that ought to be possessed by those who would redeem the people from their greg and distress (Applause). They say our dollar will--be -a 63-cent dollar. Well, now, my friends, they refuse to apply to the siiver that is produced in the world the law of supply and demand. We say increase the demand for the silver by legislation and that new demand, acting with the demand now in existence, will operate upon the price of silver. We say that néew de- amand will be sufficient to con- consume all the silver coined at the mint and, being sufficient, will raise the value of silver bullion to $1.29 throughout the world. (Applause.) We have a reason for our belief. They simply say it won’t do it, and then sit back and propose absolutely nothing. “If we need relief from the gold standard -we must secure it for ourselves, and if we must secure this relief for ourselves you can only secure it through a party which be- lieves in the restoration of, the free and unlimited cotnage of gold and silver at the present legal] ratio of 16 to 1, without wait- ing for the aid or consent of any other na- tion.”’ (Prolonged applause.) -—- -—— lo MAXWELL ASSAILED. Illinois Populist Chairman Accused of Chicanery by the Chicago Secretary. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. 22.—F. J. Schulte of @hicago, claiming to be Secre- | tary of the Cook County People’s Party Central Committee, has written and to- day had published a letter to A. L. Max- | well, Chairman of the State Central Com- mite in which Mr. Maxwell is roundly sco for the results of the recent State Populist Convention here, in fusion with the Democratic ticket indorsing the same with exception of State Auditor and four residential electors. Mr. Schulte charges r. Maxwell with having ‘‘sold out’’ to the Democrats; that the convention acted il- legally, the proceedings were irregular, was not represented by People’s party delegates, denied representation to the regular Peo- ple’s party of Cook County by seating an illegal delegation (Dr. Taylor’s delegates), neglected to indorse candidates nominated by the National Convention and made no rovisions to give the Populists of the tate an opportunity to vote for President and Vice-President. Schulte demanded that another State con- wention be called by Mr. Maxwell, and based |, his dergands as representative of 35,000 Poptu- lusts of Cook County. He threatened to call the convention himself if Mr. Maxwell did not do so by Aug. 24 to nominate a State | ticket. Chairman Maxwell was here to-night and gave out the following reply to the threat- ening letter of Mr. Schulte: ‘In the first place, I am not Chairman of the Pé@opile’s Party State Central Commit- tee; I am the nominee for State Auditor. In the second place, Mr. Schulte is not Secretary of the Cook County Central Com- | mittee, or secretary of anything else under the sun. The Populist State Convention was regularly held and represented by legal delegations. The contesting Cook County delegates had a three hours’ hearing before the Committee on Permanent Organization, and the Taylor delegates were declared leg- ally seated. This settled the contest. ‘Phe decent element among the contest- ants dropped the matter and are working for the party now. The element that is now try!ng to kick up a fuss and defeat the party cannot poll 500 votes outside of Chi- cago, in the entire State. They represent the rough element and belong to other classes rather than true Populism. It is folly to think of another State convention. | The better element of the party is with us, to the end. Mr. Schulte can call all the State conventions he wants to for all it will avail. Democrats, have a candidate for State Aud- itor and four Pres‘dential Electors and to- day stand in a better position than we ever did before. We will win this fali. Bashaw Speaks at Montgomery.

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 22.—Chairman Jones of the Democratic National Committee gave out a manifesto addressed to the people of the United States late to-night, which was in part as follows: “The Democratic party in the present contest is engaged in the defense of the plain people against the encroachments of the favored classes. This is purely an economic issue. In its importance, how- ever, it overshadows every question which has occupied public attentionsince the tragic campaign of 1860. “We have allied against us in the con- test not only the financial forces of Bu- rope, but the subsidized press and all the monopolies and trusts here at home, who are determined, if possible, to fix forever their relentless yoke upon labor of all kinds. To oppose them we must rely upon the pa- triotism and heroic manliness of the plain people—the toilers who create the wealth which speculators absorb. “With unlimited money in their hands, our enemies are printing and distributing misleading and untruthful statements; hired speakers and paid emissaries are eévery- where attempting to mislead and delude the people. “To meet and counteract this we must distribute documents for the dissemination of the truth; we must expose their falla- cies, their misstatements and their utter selfishness, “To do so we need money at once and can only hope for help from the plain people. We ask only for the necessary means to conduct a vigorous and aggressive cam- paign. No mater in how small sums, no matter by what humble contributions, let the friends of liberty and National honor contribute all they can to @ good cause. To the overflowing treasury of the money power we will oppose the accumulated offer- ings of the masses, fighting to be free and ask the ruler of the universe for his blessing.

The affair had been largely advertised and the attendance being purely local was a disappointment to the project- ors. Senator Cullom spoke at the day ppecting to an audience of probably one thousan men, women and children. The Senator |in his remarks held that the Democrats | wanted to make a campaign of tariff and’ were evading the money qeustion, while the Republicans would force them to fight the money question. H's speech was a mass of figures, data and general denunciation of Democracy and Populism. At night a creditable street parade was had in which several uniformed marching clubs, ciee clubs, five bands And other clubs participated. Col. Isaac Clements, of Car- bondale, was the principal speaker, and he harangued the three thousand pie present for two solid hours upon the detects of Democracy and Populism and the beau- ties and oenefits derived from voting the Republican ticket. He asserted that the Republicans were friendlier to silver than the Democrats and Populists and would do more for the white metal than both the others combined. As a “starter’’ the “‘rally’’ was considered a failure from an enthusiastic standpoint. Scarcely any enthusiasm was manifested at the day meeting, while the night gath- ering was but little better. - —— VEST AT DONIPHAN. His Speech a Convincing Argument for Silver and Democracy.

For Twenty-Two Years He Was Con- fined in the Insane Asylum at Anna, Ill., Where He Died Friday. Mrs. Martin Eckerich of St. Louis received a telegram yesterday announcing the death of her husband in the insane asylum at Anna, Iil. . This closes a tragedy which had its be- ginning twenty-two years ago. At that time Martin Eckerich was a young harnessmaker in Belleville, Ill., recognized as the best hand at his trade in all that part of the country. A set of harness made by him* took the first prize at the Belleville Fair, and he was rapidly building up a thriving busi- ness. He served his first apprenticeship with Fred Vogtsberger of Belleville, then en- tered the shop of Peter Knapp. After leaving Mr. Knapp’s shop Eckemch opened one for himself. As soon as he was able to lay by a little he began to think of marriage. Of all the young women of his acquaint- ance the daughter OfMichael Beusche! of Belleville haa always seemed to him the most perfect. He thought of her while working at his benca. She was in his mind’s eye when he took his evening walks. When he was awarded first prige for the best set of harness at the county fair his chief pleasure was from the thought that his success would bring him more promi- nenffy before ner notice. For more than a year he had dreamed of the time when he could honorably ask the woman of his choice to share his fortunes. As friends they had passed many pieasant hours. Eckerich delayed changing the pleasant friendsh:p to a closer relationship until he could offer the young woman a4 comfortable home. The time at last arrived. Eckerich’s sult was successful. The wedding wag set for an early date. It was an elaborate affair, and was cele- brated at the residence of the bride’s fath- LAST WEEK GLOBE ODD-AND-END SALE. Boys’ $1.75 Pants, $15, WN. W.

Mexico adopted the single silver stan- @ard in 1867. At that time she was a Gazarus among nations. Resistance to French invasion and the erection of a throne for Maximillian had entailed what Beemed a hopeless debt upon posterity. The people were hopeless, discontented, turbulegt and in the depths of poverty and misery. At that time Mexico had money of high purchasing power, but the people had no purchasing power to speak of. As @ result, but little purchasing was done. Nearly everything consumed was imported and ‘the value of importations then rarely exceeded $15,000,000 per an- mum. Within seven years after making silver coinage free, imports had increased to more than $36,000,000. The increase was steady as the prosperity and purchasing power of the country increased. In 1887 the value of Mexican imports exceeded $41,000,000. In 1890 their value exceeded 51,000,000. Since 1890 they have shown @ decrease owing to the development of @omestic methods of production and dis- tribution. In 1874, when the value of Mexican im- ports was $36,000,000, the value of Mex- fcan exports was but $9,000,000, 4 to 1 egainst Mexico had been the average of two or three generations under the gold etandard. After silver became the unit @ Mexican values exports began to in- crease and they have continued to in- crease steadily until, in 1894, the balance of trade was in favor of Mexico by more than two million and a half dollars. The figures for that year, as given in the Commercial Year Book, were: Imports, $30,287,489; exports, $32,858,927. Since then the balance in favor of Mexico has been maintained. Money is flowing into the country. The national debt, for years larger than the total assessed wealth of the country, is now 7 per cent less than the assessed wealth. In short, Mexico, under the silver dollar, is growing richer and richer every day. W. TB. S. is a capable correspondent of the Globe-Democrat, who can play as good a game of heads and tails as any man who ever crossed the Laredo bridge, but he has gone too far south to take his vacation. — —_——— THE OUTLOOK FOR FLYING. Now that Herr Lillenthal has lost his life in trying to fly, it is probable that the method of soaring into the sky that he favored will give place to that of Maxim and inventors who do not rely upon copying the birds or bats. _Every inventor who has tried to navigate the air with artificial wings, using the mus- cular power. of the human feame, has sooner or later come to grief. Lillentha) is the modern Daedalus, and has shared the same fate. Instead of ridiculing him, the modern world will honor him for his enterprise and bewail his untimely—end. But inventors will probably shun the snan-filght method now, and look to the more powerful machine. The idea of each man, woman and child using a pair of wings so that individuals could go where they wished, stop when they desired, and be independ- ent of corporations with monster. air- ships, is alluring. In his romance, “The Coming Race,” Bulwer Lytton showed how delightful such a state of things would be. But it is much more likely that the Maxim etyle of filght, in vast @ir-ships moved by machinery, will be the practical method, and that we shall be confronted with the big corporation and its greedy taxing power when air Mavigation becomes a fact. Lillenthal’s sethod would have meant a growth of Qndividualism. Maxim's can only mean another means for capital to make mili- fons from a new invention. Another difference in the two methods of fight is that the wings of: Lilienthal would have evolved mankind into ath- fetes. The ship of Maxim will spread the evils of sedentary life. If they could both be made successful, the human race would Indeed be at the zenith of enjoyment and inventive benefaction. . — ee —— - —a CHANCE FOR MODERN MARTYRS. There is nothing surprising in the fact that a Kentucky Baptist preacher has been declared guilty of heresy for preach. ing against the doctrine of baptism by immersion. What is surprising is that any Baptist preacher should insist that immersion is not an essential of baptism while insisting, also, upon remaining a communi¢ant and minister of the Bap- t church, . _W > Pefer to this case because it is one of i ny coming Ikto public notice since “of, Dr, Briggs.

With the gold of the country cornered by foreign speculators and bond syn- dicates or held in the vaults of the national banks and with greenbacks also held out of circulation because the Treasury treats them as gold certificates, we have not now in actual circulation as much money per capita as we had in 1875. Yet in 1875 the c@tton crop was only 8,832,000 bales, while last year it was 9,892,- 000 bales, or nearly three times as much. This immense increase in all lines of production must be followed by a cor- responding increase in the medium used for the exchange of products, or pro- duction ts checked, civilization and progress are impeded, producers are impov- erished and only money lenders and dealers in credits fatten.

There are not a ew preachers, evidently, who find heresy a convenient means of advertising themselves as having outgrown the an- they belong. In every such case which has come under our notice there has been evidence of something worse than heresy, viz.: a desire to make the church a means toward the gratification of personal am- bition. No man, Baptist, Presbyterian, Meth- odist or what not, can be “persecuted” for heresy if, reaching the conclusion that he has been preaching the wrong doctrine, he resigns his cHarge. When he sticks to a Baptist pulpit for the pur- pose of preaching anti-Baptist doctrine to a Baptist congregation he is not only clearly guilty of heresy, but of something less worthy than honest heresy may be. It is often said that the days of mar- tyrdom for heresy are over. But that is not true. Any preacher who feels called upon to renounce the faith he has been preaching,.and who resigns a living for the sake of his consctence, is as much a martyr as any of old. There may be such, cases, We are almost tempted to hope there may be, for the sake of the cloth, now more or less discredited by men who use the pulpit for stage pur- poses. co _—— —_, — _—_——— a as LAW AND MORALS IN IOWA. Under the original plans and specifica- tions the coming election would have brought to the State of Iowa a direct vote on the question of prohibition. But the original plans and specifications being found defective, Iowa is to be left, for awhile longer, with a liquor statute destructive of law, morals and decency. The original prohibitory statute being left unrepealed, communities are ¢mi- powered to authorize the selling of liquor, the dealer to pay a stipulated sum, not as license but as a fine for the violation of the law. The State refuses to enact a license law and virtually confirms the prohibition law by refusing to repeal it, but, by statutory enactment, it fixes a money penalty for the violation of the law by men authorized to violate it .on petition of a majority of the citizens and the permit of the local governing body of any designated community. Thus, not only by implication, but by actual fact, the State authorizes the sale of indulgences for the violation of its own laws. And the State, by the exercise of its legislative power, makes the ma- jority of citizens in all such designated communities parties to violations of law jn cases where the men who contemplate its violation can give. bond to qualify them as law-breakers. It is impossible that any State will con- sent to long continue under conditions so provocative of lawlessness as those now existing in Iowa. Their evil influence is already felt in many communities. In view of the feeble resistance of the Pro- hibitionists to conditions infinitely worse than even free whisky could bring, it is clear that that element will be power- less against the demand for a strong license law which must inevitably grow out of the existing situation. ll a The tone and character likely to be given the School Board by partisan mem- bers is very clearly shown in the re- marks of Mr. Paulus on receiving the Republican nomination in the Third Dis- trict.

Commission Wolves Employ Smooth Women as Sub-Agents to Do Their Soliciting. To those familiar with the prevailing methods of soliciting contributions for char- itable institutions, it is no wonder that the young charges of the Children’s Home 6o- ciety of Missouri went hungry several days in the week. Almost $10,000 a year was collected for the home on Olive street. Still the chil- dren went without proper noyrishment, It was because the charitably inclined, who believed their donations were for the sole benefit of the little ones, in reality paid the salary of those who solicited the sub- Scriptions. What cemained went toward paying the Salaries of officers. After that, what was left, went toward feeding the children, An investigation induced by the dis- closures concerning the home on Olive Sireet, reveals that this society was not alone in the peculiar system of collecting revenues, . Several other charitable institutions fol- low a method that is even more costly to the institutions and ¢o the charitable who contribute to thelr support. The Invesi.gation disclosed that there are two age) in St. Louis whose sole busi- Mess is the soliciting of subscription for charitable institutions, their remuneration being a percentage of the contributions, The two men and their wives who operate these agencies are imaking comfortable livings and are said to be growing rich from the revenues the agencies yield. Ces One of the agencies is conducted by a Man named Senier and his wife and the other by a Mr. and Mrs. Hubbell. These men make contracts each with charitable organizations under w they solicit subscriptions. They receive for their trouble 30 cents on every dollar they collect. The proprietors of the agencies employ @ub agents to do the actual soliciting. They pay these sub-agents a commission of from 20'to 25 per cent on all they collect, thus making for themselves, without labor or exertion of any kind, 25 and 30 per cent of all money contributed by the St. Louls ublic through solicitors to the support of 16 charitable organizations they repre- sent. The charitable institutions received only half of what was intended by the contribu- tors should go to the support of the institu- tion designated. If a contributor gives a Solicitor $10 for a certain charity, that charity receives $5 of the amount. The ether $5 is divided between the solicitor and the agency for which he works, The solicitors are professionals, thor- guehly trained and marvelously success- ul in thelr work. Accordingly, the mendous frauds upon ¢ great. Even without the connivance of an agen- at f an unscrupulous person may start an @lleged charitable institution, oe eg 4 an Spency to solicit contributions on a bas's of 3 per cent of the donations, and pocket the other half, without a pretense of for- warding the charitable movement. rear ich appettentty for tre- e generous is very The charitable institutions which depend upon these agencies for the donations for their support, @n whole or in part, are the following: White Cross Home, Memorial Home. Old Folks’ Home. Amelia Home for Children. Woman's Training School. Baptist Orphans’ Home. An exception is the Children’s Horge So- ciety, which now employs an independent licitor in the person of Mrs. Belle Paris. he receives commissions ranging from 10’ to 2 per cent, according to the amount of the contribution she secures. Mrs. Paris fs not connected with any agency and is herself a member of the Children’s. Home Society, paying dues and having a voice in its management. She ts said to be suc- cessful as a solicitor and the home receives not one-half but three-fourths of what she collects. The solicitors’ agencies are somewhat of an innovation in St. Louis. They have been in successful operation in other large cities including Cincinnat! and Chicago, for Bome time. It was only within the past few years that they were introduced in St. Louis. Both Senier and Hubbell had agencies in Chicago before coming to St. Louis.

She Confirms Matron Abrams in Her Stories About the Home. The ladies of the Auxiliary Board of the Children’s Home Society of Missouri did not hold a meeting yesterday afternoon. Therefore Mrs. Il. L. Abrams is still ma- tron of the Olive street home. It was expected that they would get to- ether and deliberate on what should be one with Mrs. Abrams for telling exactly what was going on in the home, but for some reason they decided not to. The reason given was that too many of the board members were so busy that they sould not attend, "If Mrs. Abrams desires a witness to con- firm her statements regarding conditions existing at her home, Mrs. M. Tappriet of 4062 Juniata street is at her service. Mrs. Tappriet was matron of the home when it was first started. She stated to a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday that the conditions described by Mrs. Abrams ¢€x- isted at the home during the first six months after it was founded, and to the best of Mrs. Tappriet’s knowledge and be- Mef they have existed during the entire time it as been in operation. it was on Sept. 1, 18M, that the home was thrown open to friendless waits. The managers contracted with Mrs. Tappriet to ay her 20 a month rent for the use of her ouse at 4062 Juniata street for the home, They and $16 a month wages as matron. were also to hire a girl to assist her. According to Mrs. Tappriet, the society still owes her $70 for wages and money ad- vanced by her to save the children from starving. ney “T made my bargain with Dr. Williams who was then State Superintendent,” said Mrs. Tappriet. “I voJunteered to work the first month without salary. I worked al- most all the time without salary, though not voluntarily. “It was represented to me that there would never be more than fifteen or sixteen children at the place because the society found homes for them so rapidly. “By Sept. 15, there were already fifteen childrén in the Home, and the number constantly increased. “From the time the Home was started there was never enough for them to eat. Mrs. Thornburgh was the solicitor then. Dr. Williams is entitled to a salary of $1,800 a year, but he never collected his full sal- ary amd told me when he left that he had lost the home he owned through his con- nection with the society. “Pretty soon the managers began ne- gotiating to absorb the North Side Day Nursery which was run by a’ Mrs. St. John. The North Side Day Nursery turned over $600 or $700 to the home. In the latter part of December, 1894, the home was removed from my house here to Olive street. Still we were always short of provisions. ‘“T was compelled to use my own money to buy food for the children and bought .coal by the dollar’s worth, It wag a Dbit- terly cold winter. “About this time Mrs. Thornburgh, who had been appointed by Dr. Williams, was temoved as solicitor and Dr. Vincil put Mrs. Paris in her place. “Mrs. Paris received 530 cents on every dollar she raised on the home. The first month she was there she turned in $300 to Dr. Vincil so that she must have made $300 for herself. Dr. Vincil also had the $600 from the North Side Day Nursery, but he wouldn’t let the home have any of it as long as Dr. Williams remained in charge. “Dr. Williams objected to Mrs. Paris re- celving 50 per cent on her collections and he and Dr. Vincil disagreed on the matter. “So I was compelled to keep on buyin provisions for the children until I coul not afford to do it any longer. I was taken sick in February,18%,and on that account and because I couldn't stand the way the ladies in charge of the home talked to me, I resigned. “At that time the society owed me $150 rent, money advanced and wages. I had a complete statement of my account in Dr. Willlams’ handwriting. I1 succeeded ig col- lecting $75 of it. Then, because I is a widow with children to support, I Kept after Dr. Williams for the rest of it. He told me to have patience and he would ay me what he could from time to time. ie paid me $5, reducing the account to $70, I have never been able to collect that. “Dr. Williams was removed and had to come to me to borrow money. He paid it back, but the society should never have made it necessary for him to apply to a widow with children for a loan? , ‘I went to Dr. Vincll ebout ‘my account and he told mé@ it would be paid in time, but the society had debts to pay then that were more presang. After waiting a long time, I went to Treasurer Bollman. He told me to bring him my account so that he could present it to the board. I did go. ‘Then I got tired of waiting. Mr. Boll- man told me he had turned the statement over to the gecretary. I went to see Dr. Hagerty,, the secretary. He wasn’t at home, but he wrote me that he had never geen the statement. Then I went to As- sistant Superintendent Tidwell. He didn’t know anything about it. I haven't been able to get my money and I can’t get my statement back. “The trouble at the home has always been,” concluded Mrs. Tappriet, “that all the contributions have been eaten up paying the commissions of solicitors and the sala- ries of officers.” g12—FOR THE ROUND TRIP—$12.

He is charged with having stolen a pair of gold spectacles from Attorney William Fits- gerald, whose office is in the De Menil buliding. ’ Mullery is quite a character. He comes from good family, is well educated and could ae taken a high place among men had # not been for his excessive drinking. @ has become a confirmed drunkard, and is well known to the police, but he has mever before been accused of any crime.

Mullery’s father was wealthy and had his son educated in the Christian Brothers Belle Flannigan, a notorious woman, who has figured in numerous shooting scrapes and who is now under bond in Judge Mur- phy’s court for the shooting of Richard Hack last month, has charge of the children. Where she is now the authorities would like to know. She has in her charge two little girls, as dainty little creatures, in appearance, as ever made a home happy, and it is the de- Sire of the Protective Association to rescue these children from their environment of crime and sloth and ignorance. Beit known tion as they are in their looks. The Association was notified of the pro- tectorate established over the children and of the undeniable bad character of—Belle Flannigan. It was decided to get these children from the woman and have the courts appoint a guardian for them. Saturday.morning at 8 o'clock two men walked up to the door leading to the flat on the second floor at 720 Franklin avenpe and rang the bell. Belle Flannigan opened the door and asked the men their business. a little tab and pretended to be taking the census of the city. They inquired how —— children she had and asked to see them The negress. became suspicious. «She said =e would go up stairs and bring them OWT. She quickly slipped a wrapper on each of the children and led them out the back door and down into the yard, The two agents of the association went upstairs. As they looked out the back door Belle and the two children were going out the gate into the alley. She held the children’s hands and was tell- ing them to hurry. The two men hurried down the steps and into the yard. By that time Belle was quite a distance up the alley. They took after her and she and the children dodged into a gate on the other side of the alley, and through that yard, into the hallway, up- stairs and down on Morgan street. The men followed and Belle and the two girls ran into a second-hand store on the other side of the street and out again on Locust street. searched the neighborhood, Belle Flannigan and the two children could not be found. Elsie Senter was born in sin seven years ago. Belle Flannigan at that time was a heard working washerwoman, and Elsie’s mother knowing her, gave Bisie to her to raise. At that time the baby looked as all babies do. sweet and innocent. The seven years of her life have not detracted from those qualities. She has grown into a ro- bust little girl of wonderful beauty. She attraction for all eyes. A year and a half after the birth of Elsie | another baby was born to the same mother | She was placed | and she was called Dora. with her sister Elsie to be raised by Belle Flannigan. Dora rivaled Elsie in beauty. figured in a shootimg affray on wash street. man. Since then she has sunk negroes, haps not another woman in the city who can swear in such a disgusting and loath- some manner as she. Wherever she goes she takes the two lit- tle girls with her and in their presence and hearing she uses the vilest language. She takes them to the opium joints and it is not improbable that they are learning the fatal habit. The lassies shocked the Four Courts a few days ago, Pretty as they were and neatly as they were dressed they used per- haps innocently language so foul that most men shrank from them. Belle Flannigan’s latest escapade was with Richard Hack, a white man who keeps a saloon at Seventh street and Clark avenue. She had been his mistress and over a month ago found that he was consorting with a negress who lived in the neighbor- hood of his saloon. She went down to his saloon on the night of July 13 and put a buliet inthis neck. She was arrested and he went to the City Hospital, where he lay for over a week. er case is now pending in court. Hack will be recalled as the young man who was released from the penitentiary last spring’ after serving three years for high- way robbery.

Nelson, who had not been out of.the Pen- itentiary a week, was arrested last Tuesday night with Denny Collins in connection with the street car hold-up.

The committee said that especially in the outskirts of the city the side streets were simply dirt roads and when it rained ex- cessively the mud became so deep that it was impossible to haul anything like heavy loads over them. They wanted the privilege of using the boulevards in such localities when the side | streets were impassable.

CRONIN OUT IN THE COLD. Diekman Will Take Care of the Dele- gates Who Helped Restore Him to Power Friday Night. The turning down of Kelly and reinstate- ment of Diekman as speaker of the House of Delegates seems to have met with favor among the City Hall politicians. None of them have a word of sympathy for the humiliated speaker, and not one but-~ says that it was a mistake ever to have ousted Diekman. There will be a general shake-up of the committees, but Speaker Diekman said yes- terday that he would mot announce them until the House convenes in October. He said that as the House would take a recess next Friday until October 13, the time was too brief to make the selection of new Chairmen and redistribute the members on committees. Mr. Diekman sas that he is freer to act in this regard than he was when the House first organized, and thatthe service of mem- bers has enabled him to see where they properly belong, and on which committees they are best qualified. Ex-Speaker Kelly is a sorely disgruntled man, and the manner in which he was de- posed has filled him with a consuming de- sire to get even with the false friends whe encompassed his downfall. The principal one of the five who had made it possible for him to be elected speaker was Edmund Bersch, and it was Bersch who was the chief factor in his un- doing. For his first term in politics Bersch has a record for changing sides. His cause of grievance against Diek- man was that as Speaker the latter refused to make him chairman of the Committee on Public Improvements. This chairmanship was the ostensible price of his devotion to Kelly, but Kelly gushed him to the wall when he denounced him as a —— ——~ liar on the floor of.the House. Bersch did not resent thafmsult physically, but his revenge has been«sharper than @ serpent’s tooth, and Kelly has been made to rue the evil moment when in a rage of passion he cursed his ally, for doing the very thing that B wears he asked him It was & ama éstion arises, is Diekman g0- Bersch to remain at the head ing to permit s B ts Comngittee?. of the Public Improvem Tie trio had a lon@ cofiference yesterday in ¢t House chamber, and it is sa that Bersch will be safe, however much the per- sonnel of the committee is changed. It is.also understood that Scherf, Schu- macher and Lehmann, who with Bersch, sigees away their resignations to Kelly, will be taken care of by Diekman. Watson, the fifth mem of the combine, placed himself out of the ‘breastworks by voting against the consideration of the res- olution to unseat Kelly. - The ostensible objection to Kelly’s admin- istration was that hia committees, espe- cilally the Railroad Committee, held wp public measures, and now the question is being asked: Will the public be any better off by the change of. Friday night? Delegate Grassmuck let fall a significant remark the other day when he said that the dissensions in the House were not caused by interna) strife, but were created and fos- tered by outside influences—by men who had much at stake on the disposition of measures before the Railroad, Public Im- provements and other committees, Grassmuck was in a bad humor then on account of the threats of Kelly, and since he has gzined his point by seeing Diekman restored to the speakership, he doesn’t seem inclined to discuss the matter of out- side influences. Grassmuck was chairman of the Railroads Committee under Diekman and expects to be again. Next to Kelly the sorest member in the House is Stewart, who blatantly lorded it over the minority to the point of exaspera- tion, and his conduct contributed quite as much as Kelly’s own to the lIatter’s down- fall. Stewart is listed to land away down at the foot of the committee on dumps, etc. . Jim Cronin is also outside of the breast- works, but the other three Democrats, Burke, Sullivan and Sippel, are in the swim. Cronin loitered too long at the Jefferson City Democratic Convention and when he returned found all the wires of the com- bination had been strung. The most important measures the House are the Sutter and Keyes con- duit b:lls, but there is no probability of Bee being reported before the adjourn- ment.

The Indications , Are Good for a Rec- ord-Breaking Season. General Manager Gaiennie stated yester- day that the preparations for the Thir- teenth Annual Exposition were exception- ally advanced, and that the two weeks which intervened prior to the grand open+- ing by Gilmore’s Band under Victor Her bert would. amply suffice for the putting of the finishing touches on the numerous ex- bibits. The Art Gallery ts in an advahced state of preparation and all other features are equally satisfactory. The number ‘of ex-« hibitors ig in excess of the average, and in a qyery instance there will be a change in the location of the exhibit and of the booth or pagoda containing it. The bicycle exhibits will be a new feature and a number of new electrical] appliances will also be on view.

VOIGE OF THE ~GITY'S MOTHERS IT DEMANDS THE SUPPRESSION OF THE WINE-ROOM EVIL. MEETING OF THE W. C. T. U. Members Urged to Attend the Coming Tria] of Saloonkeeper Smith in a Body. Steps were taken at a mass-meeting under the auspices of the St. Louis w.t. T. U. at the Lindell Hotel yesterday to enforce the law against the wine-rooms in St. Louls After the Post-Dispatch exposed the hor- rors of the wine-rooms and brought Saloon- keeper Arthur. E. Smith to trial for selling liquor te minors, the W. C. T. U. took the matter up and determined to have Smith punished. He escaped conviction at the trial be- cause of bungling Four Courts officials. The W. C. T. U. requested Assistant Prosecuting A prney Johnson to ue @ new warrant. Ohe was issued last Thursday. The W. C. T. U. determined to go*further and put down the evils of the wine-room — in the Post-Dispatch. he mass mieeting in parlor 22 of the Lin- dell Hotel result. fis Invitations were extended copeneny to Mayor Walbridge, Chief of Police Harr Excise Commissioner Bell and Assistan Prosecuting Attorney Johnson to attend and tell those present what could be done toward suppressing the evil. None of them attended. There were, however, about 8 ladies and ten gentlemen present when Mrs. F. H. Ingalls, district pregident of the W. C. T. U., called the meeting to order. Miss Merta Mitchell acted as gecretary. Mrs. Ingalls explained the object of the meeting and the absence of the city officials who had been invited. Mayor Walbridge, Mrs. Ingalls said, was out of the city. Me. Johnson was at Arcadia, Mo., with his family. Chief Harrigan had replied to the invita- a * met he wee no * ic speaker. repiy whatever had been réceived fr Col. Nicholas M.

Otto, who works n the street and who has a wide experience ‘rith the evils we are here to consider.”’ Mrs. Otto is matron of,.the Hephzibah Home. She stated the midnight work conducted by herself and colleagues Was one of the chief sources of her information. She be- an it four years ago and had been going nto wine rooms ever since in the prosecu- tion of the rescue work. * She described the intertor of the wine- rooms with their call-bells connmécting with houses of ill-fame and their waiters to re- epond to the calls. “We find in these places,’’ continued Mrs. Otto, ‘girls of all ages. We find them drink- ing themselves into intoxication. There isa wine-room attached to every saloon in the downtown tricts in which we work.” roo g-house evil and the street- walkers were touched upon by Mrs. Otto. She stated that a visit she paid to Chief r recently resulted in clearing the neighborhood of Twelfth and Pine streets of etreet-walkers. The law on the subject having been read by Mies Merta Mitchell for the benefit of those present, Lydia Tillweim, the 15-year- old victim of Smith’s wine-room, was brought forward by Mrs. Ingalls. In response to Mrs. Ingalis’ questions the girl stated her age and detailed her ex- ertence tn the wine-room as it has already een told in the Post-Dispatch. The girl evidently shrank from the ordeal and her “ice was hardly above a whisper. vel Ray, Lydia’s girl companion in the visit to the wine-room, had been brought to the meeting from the House of Good Shepherd by Detective-Gocking. She also told her story to those present. When the girls had finished their atories Mrs. Ingalls’ demanded what was to be done. Mise Merta Mitchell read a resolu- Bon prepared in advance, which was as fol- Ows: “We, the women of the W. C. T. U., desire to make this public protest against the constant violation of the law against sell- ing liquor to minors, and have read with ge and Jjnd:gnation the reports’in the aily papers of thé ruin and danger ‘that threaten the young of both sexes’on almost every corner of the down-town district.” It was suggested that in addition to the resolution every lady present be requested to write a letter to the authorities demand- ing that the law be enforced. * In the discussion on the resolution, Mrs. M. FE. Goldberry, Superintendent of Prison Work in the Central W. C. T. U., partici- pated, and Mrs. Ingalls suggested that all resent attend the trial of Saloon-keeper mith im the Court of Criminal Correction. Then the resolution was adopted with en- thusiasm. Charies E. Stokes, who was taking «a lively interest in the proceedings, thought a mammoth petition should be drawn up and presented to the authorities demanding that the wine-room evils be suppressed. He also thought the Civic Federation should be called upon to act. Mr. Stokes thought that the continuance of the evil was due to the fact that saloon- keepers were allied with the policemen and that the latter were entirely too ad- dicted to the u f intoxicating liquors. Mr. Stokes o..-red the following which Was adopted: “Resolved, That the Civic Federation is hereby urged to have the law against sell- ing liquors to minors enforced.” J. A. Stan‘on, a member of the Civic Fed- eraation, was present. He promised that the resolution should be acted upon as soon As possible, bul stated that the Federation did not antic.pate active work until the spring election Mrs. Louisa: Harris, matron at the Four Courts, detailed her experiences, stating that she had had a of 30.00 women nd girls during her c6nnection with the t. Louls Police Department. A portiy,cicrical looking gentleman arose fm the rear of the room and began to ad- Gress the audience Mrs. ingalis asked his name, and he re- _ that it Was Covert. He was Rev. Vv. R. Covert, pastor of the Church of Qod, Mr. Covert stated that he led the seven years’ crusade in Pittsburg against wine rooms, drunken policemen and reoming- houses. The Mayor of the town was sent to the penitentiary with the City Attorney the saloons were closed, the crusade was successful. Mr. Covert had never seen a more im- moral city than St. Louls. He thought it @ good field for the ministers and advised each Woman present to insist upon the ministers gueing in the work. rs. EB.

He was originally @ person of more than ordinary intelligence. He drifted into Elizabethtown in the summer of ’91 and has Hved there ever since. At that time he had about $3,000 in money, inherited from his father’s estate, the latter having been a well-to-do Meade County farmer. Six months after her hus- band’s death Mrs. Peak married, and this is assigned as a probable cause for Law- rence’s leaving home. He behaved himself tolerably well during the first week of his stay in Elizabethtown, then began to spend his money recklessly, and soon his roll was “blown in” for whisky. His associates were the young men of the town, who, charmed by the reckless air of freedom with which young Peak spent his cash, considered him a good fellows A year later Peak had be- come a confirmed drunkard, a sot, @ scape- tawhtwte 8 PEAK WhO SOLD \ \ AN we ., » \\ Hs ¥ \ ‘\ \\\ : " *\\ at A\\ \ n \\ NW | \\ \\\ ve \y ‘ il \\ ‘Nate mena — i , o WH, ii i‘ \\ grace and the shame of the town. His com- panions deserted him one by one. He be- came the consort of negroes and was arrest- ed for an unlawful association. At the last term of the March Circuit Court he was also indicted for vagrancy and recognized to appear at the June term for trial. To this first charge he pleaded uilty, and was sentenced to thirty days in fail, his term of imprisonment expiring an hour before he was sold for vagrancy. The following is a copy of the order of the court: “The verdict of the jury in this case be- ing that the defendant Lawrence Peak be sold into servitude for the period of six months, it is now adjudged by the court that the Sheriff of Hardin County shall sell the said defendant to the highest bid- der at the court house door in the town of Elizabethtown for a period of six months, sale to be cash in hand payable to said Sher- iff. Notice of the time and place of such sale, and the length of such servitude shall be first posted by the Sheriff at the court house door in Elizabethtown for ten days be- fore the day of gale.. “Out of the proceeds of the sale the Sheriff shall first pay the fees and expenses of the prosecution of the defendant, and the re- mainder, if any, shall be prorated on the debts, if any, of the defendant. If none, then he shall pay the remainder, if any, to defendant at the expiration of his term of servitude.” The sale was conducted by Deputy Sheriff Mart H. Williams, who knocked Peak off in true auctiqneer style for $12.75, who gave his orders as follows: “Mr. Peak; you can now report ter Mr. Cecil. He went on yer bond éer $200, and put up $12.75. I calculate you'll have no ob- jection ter ‘paying this honest debt. Now, gentlemen, I’m goin’ ter sell that jackass, and I'll bet money that you'll bid lively enough on him,” and immediately the Sher- iff began to cry the sale of the animal, When $27 was bid he knocked him off. In the meantime Peak had arisen and passed out through the Court-house by an- other door. Two minutes later he repaired at Cecil’s saloon and reported to his new ‘“‘master.’’ The law applying to vagrants, and un- der which' Peak was sold, is unknown to the vast majority of readers.

It says: ‘“‘Persons indicted for vagrancy shall be tried by a jury, and if found guilty the jury shall fix the time for which he shall be bound out to labor, or sold into servitude, not exceeding 12 months if the convict be over 21 years of age; if he be a minor the jury shall return his age also in the verdict.’’ Section 4,765 defines the rights and pow- ers of the purchaser: ‘The person taking or buying a vagrant shall have the same rights and powers and be under the same re- sponsibilities as masters of apprentices sold, nee or bound to them, except as to edu- cation.”’ A. BOLD BURGLARS AND BANDITS HAVE INAUGURATED A REIGN OF TERROR IN THE WEST END. CITIZENS ARE UP IN ARMS. The Police Seem Powerless to Catch the Miscreants, Who Are Many and Bold. Burgiars and highwaymen have taken St. Louls. From many quarters a cry for protection has gone up, yet it seems of no avail. So many different gangs of burglars are at work that the police are dumbfounded. Saloonkeeper Joyce, at Marcus and Easton avenues, is the only man who has scored a hit. He shot and killed Burglar Jenkins last Monday morning. Since then a dozen houses have been en- tered, and purses have been snatched from women as they entered their doorways. There seems no limit to the daring these burglars and highwaymen possess. _ Every one of them hes gone scot free. Their booty in each case has been little or nothing, but they have succeeded in ter- rorizing the town. The latest and most extensive scare ex- ists in Chouteau place, including Kennerly, Maffitt, 8t. Louis and Labadie avenues, west of Vandeventer avenue, where Mrs. L. B. Wright was made the victim of a brutal assault Friday night. Tuesday night a burglar visited the resi- dence of Rhys Thomas, the Uhrig’s Cave tenor, and made a return trip Wednesday Hight without leaving his card. Mr. Thomas resides at 3946 Maffitt avenue, and a part of the houge ts occupied by Os- car LD. Strother, a sa for the Brown Shoe Co,, and his family. On Wednesday several dogs died on Maffitt and Kennerly avenues, and during the next two days several more canines departed this life unwillingly, after having partaken liberally of poisoned meat which had been conveniently placed for their delectation and annihilation. Many of the residents of these two avenues laid the blame for the fate of their pets at the door of a gentleman Living on Maffitt avenue, whose antipathy to dogs is well known, but when thé facts came. to the ears of Special Officer “Jack’’ Gallagher of the Sixth Pollee District, who resides in the vicinity, he scented a ‘‘mice’’ and tmmedi- ately set out to notify the residents of Chouteau place to be on their guard and sicep with one eye open. He was none too soon. Immediately after the @larm was given the neighborhood was arouses. and a crowd of people collected in front of the residence of k E. Fox, egens ter the Nicholls- Ritter Realty Co., ntrols a great deal of the property in locality, at 360 Maffitt avenue. While they were discussing ways and means of protecting themselves net the anticipated influx of burglars, they were suddenly startled by a series of piercing shrieks, which were immediately followed by the sound of heavy footsteps rapidly re- treating In the darkness. The shrieks emanated from the residence of L. B. Wright, a builder and contractor, 3M9 Maffiitt avenue. at om fee block, it seemed, supinely on Dr. Dyer was sum- | - moned, but an hour elapsed before she had revived.sufficiently to tell her story. : In the meantime several excited citizens gave chase to two fleeing forms, one of which carried in his dexter hand a big, big un. Both men escaped. Mrs. Wright was sitting at a table in one | of the rear rooms, reading. after 9 o'clock. Her two children were laying in the street in front of the house. ier husband was just emerging from the bathroom, apstairs. Suddenly a man appeared in the room where Mrs. Wright was sitting. He worea slouch hat drawn down over his face and used as a mask with eyeholes cut in It. “Give me that ring,”’ he demanded, hoarse- ly, as he leaned over her shoulder, ‘or I'll kill you!’ Mrs. Wright was almost paralyzed with dear, but she valued the ring highly and re- fused e demand. Her refusal] angered the robber and he struck her a vicious blow on the back of the head with his fist. He then seized her by the shoulder and hurled her backward to the floor Then she screamed. At that instant another face appeared at the screen of one of the back windows, and a voice hissed: # “Give him the ring or I'll fix you! As if to put hig threat into execution, al- though ten feet away, he brought a heavy knife down with a swinging blow and it ripped th@ wire screen almost from top to bottom. Mrs. Wright had been an invalid for a year, ahd was in bed continuously for two months until a few days ago. Being still weak she fainted ¢drom the force of excite- ment and fear, and was not even aware that she had screamed. The burglar tried to wrest the ring from her finger, while she was unconscious, but the sound of approaching footsteps fright- ened him away, and he and his companion fled through the rear just as Mr. Wright reached the bottom of the stairway and the excited neighbors rushed through the front door. A posse was immediat ly formed under the leadership of Capt. John La Barge of the Bodatmen’s Bank, who has all kings of weapons in his house. Special Officer Gallagher, Sergt. McGrew of the Mayor’s office, Watchmen James It was shortly | McCarron and W. A. Reilly and two police- | men were soon on the scene, and they were oined by Messrs. Wright, Fox, Rhys homas, E. Thomas, Shaw, John Sharkey and others. After providing themselves with all the weapons obtaingble they patrolled the neighborhood for two hours and searched every shed and vacant house in the vicinity, headed by Capt. La Barge, with a shotgun on his shoulder. The patrol was resumed last night, and every stranger was compelled to give an account of himself. Residents of Chouteau Place belleve that the proximity of Sportsman's Park is re- sponsible for all their troubles. The martial law now in existence will be sept up as long as there is apparent need or it. But Chomteau place is not the only neigh- borhood that hams suffered. Buralacs have again commerced their depredations in Tuxedo Park, the pretty littie suburb near the western city limits. At 4 o'clock yesterday morning one of them entered the residence of J. C. Whitney, but was driven away by a fusillade of bul- lets from Mr. Whitney's trusty reva)ver. It was very dark, and his alm was bad, but the burglar camie near tearing up the floor in his efforts to escape. Burglars also chased around in the rd of Attorney Thomas 8.

OLD CONFEDERATES, The Question of Turning Their Home Over to the State Coming Up Again. The annual] reunion of the Confederates of Missouri will be held next Wednesday and Thursday at Liberty, Mo. A question which has confronted the ex- Confederates of the State for several years will come up for final disposition. The Confederate Home of Missouri is in danger of suspension, and the old war horses of the South who have found a pleasant home at Higginsville for the past six years are in danger of being turned,out into the world unless heroic measutgs are taken. The Confederate Home Association has at present only sufficient money in the treasury to pay the expenses of the Institu- tion up to the end of September. With this fact confronting them, the officers of the home realize that something must be done | at the coming reunion to save the institu-4 tion. It is the opinion of a number of the officers, formed from the experiences of the» past six years, that the only way to ingure it over. to the State at next winter's ses- sion of the Legislature. At the annual reunion two years ago an attempt was made to do this, though the affairs of the home were not in so bad a condition as at present. At that time the members of the Daughters of the Con- federacy rose up in arms and indignantly protested against the movement. They deciared that dhey would never permit the ‘heroic old inmates” of the home to be intrusted to the care of the State. Some of the veterans were ungallant enough to say the ladies were foolishly sentimental. Whether they were or not they sticceeded in securing enough votes to defeat the motion. Though the matter has not been discussed very generally as yet it has leaked out that this eromes to tender the home to the State will be repeated at the Liberty reunion and that the lad'es will be there in force to again defeat the movement. ' The Daughters of the Confederacy have repeatedly, during the last two years, af- firmed their ability to support the home if the association would turn it over to them. As this involves the raising of $1,000 a month the gentlemen who have carried the responsibility so far are somewhat doubtful as to the ability of the ledies to keep the pledge. Many of the best friends of the home feel that it is better to sink their rsonal pride and make the future subsistence of the helpiess inmates absolutely certain by eager | the handsome property to the State. That the offer wi accepted they have little doubt. Even prominent mem of the A. R. have offered to aid in securing the acceptance of the gift = way by the erection of ten three-room cot- tages for old soldiers and their families. Everything went with a boom and for a time the home was very prosperous. The farm of 362 acres was fenced, drained and cleared, and a handsome chapel, costing $1,200, was erected by the ladies of Lafayette County. During the past year the Daugh- ters of the Confederacy of St. Louis erected a fine hospital building and furnighed it complete at a total cost of $5,000. Altogether about $80,000 have been invested in real estate, buildings and improvements. From 75 to 100 veterans, many of them with families, have been lodged and fed and cared for since the erection of the main uilding. During the past two years, through no apparent fault in the management, but sim- ply from laek of subscriptions, for the home aS always depended for support. on the munificence of the public, the institution has not flourished. The officers of the association, notably President James Bannerman and Vice- President Harvey W. Salmon, have worked hard to arouse the waning public interest in the enterprise, but without success. They now feel that the home must be either sus- nded entirely or turned over to the tate. There is no doubt that the Daughters of fhe Confederacy will resist the latter ex- edient with all their strength, but those n a position to know say that they will be defeated. $3.75—Via Wabash.

Mrs. Brust, however, still possesses good general health, and it is not without the range of probabilities that she will live to see several years in the second century of her life roll by. The world has made great progress dur- ing the 100 years of Mrs. Brust’s life, and she looks with awe upon its wonderful ad- vancement. .She has seen nations rise and fall, and hi@ a distinct recollection of the thrilling events of the earlier part of the ntury. cewhen she was a child she saw the great Napoleon at the head of his army as he proudly marched through Prussia. She remembered, too, his tragic downfall at Waterloo and the final overthrow of his empire. i To-day, when she relates these stories to her geandchildren and great-grandchildren, it seems almost beyond belief. ‘ Mrs. Brust at present makes her home with the family of her granddaughter, Mrs. Jos- eph Imbs, at her handsome residence, 2919 Meramec street. Her daughter, Mrs. Cath- arine Eberle, who is now 68 years old, also resides with Mrs. Imbs. Mrs. Brust is now confined to her bed, and has been for the past three years.

Her bodily strength has simply failed her, and she passes the greater part of her time propped up with pillows, In 1891 a cataract began forming on one eye, ee tn aaa an operation was erformed in the hope of saving the organ, Ces sight failed slowly, and she is now total- ly blind.

There is considerable of a mix-up between the Trades and Labor Union of St. Louis, the Knights of Labor and the Musicians’ Mutual Benefit Association of this city. For some time past the Musicians’ Asso- ciation was a member of both the Knights of Labor and the Trades and Labor Union. Along in May the Musicians’ Association was requested by the Trades and Labor Union to withdraw from the Knights of wabor if it wanted to retain membership in the Trades and Labor Union.

Union called a meeting, and as most of the members of @hat body were identical with the Musi- cians’ Association, there was no quorum, and the. Union No. 6938 passed out of ex- istence. Right on the heels of this action came. the proceeding which caused all the trouble. As soon as the VM. M. B. A. was well out of the K. of L. the T. and L.

As Secreta of the Musicians’ Mutual Benefit Association, Owen Miller has filed ea formal protest with F.ZA.

IT WAS ONLY A BIG BUGABOO DUMPING GARBAGE IN THE RIVER Jf ALL RIGHT. SOME SYMPTOMS OF A JOB. Uncle Sam's. Dreaded Interference in ' the Disposal of Commercial Gar- bage Purely Imaginary. ——— —— Comptroller Sturgeon succeeded yesterday in unraveling ¢he tangle about dumping commercial] garbage in the river. At the same time he made it plain that there was a job in the case. Some wicked person has been scheming to force a money-making gontract on Gol. Ed Butler. The Comptroller's discovery has given 'ris® to the question: “Who ever te Wharf Commissioner C. H. Stone that* the city couldn't dump garbage in the river, just as it has been doing for so many years?’ The passage by the House of Delegates of what is known as the commercial gar- bage bill—a measure ‘for the relief of the commission merchants on Nomh Third and other streets—aroused the keenest energies on the part of the Comptroller to kill it in Council, because he knew that the city did not have the money to spend, and further because he believed it a scheme to manu- facture a fat contract for the Sanitary com- pany. It had been set forth by the Wharf Com- missioner that he was prohibited by an act of Congress passed August 17, 18%, from per- mitting thé dumping of ballast, cinders dnd: garbage of any kind in the river under a heavy penalty. On Apv.l 20 he wrote a letter to the Sec- retary of War in which he stated that some one had called his attention to the Congres- sional act, and he wanted to know just what it meant, as its enforcement would work @ great hardship on the City of St. Louis. or three months a red tape correspond- ence followed between Commodore Stone and the War Office, and the question of garbage was discussed between him and the learned engineer corps. ¢ On April 27 Léeut. Col. A. Mackenzie, of the Engineer Corps, replying for the War Department, replied that. the act meant what it said “elsewhere than within the limits defined and permitted by the Secre- tary of War.” In the absence of such per- mission violators of the act were liable to prosecution. . Commodore Stone’s next letter inquired specifically as to whether the act of Con- ress would be enforced against St. Louis n the face of a city ordinance allowing garbage to be dumped in the river. He re- cited the ordinance and again referred to the hardship the annulment of it by the Federal Government would work. The Secretary of War seems to have had other things on hand besides the important question of St. Louis garbage, and turned the letter over to Gen. Craighill, Chief of the Engineer Corps, who in turn referred it to Maj. Thomas H. Handbury, of the Mis- sissipp! River corps. Commodore Stone, weary of waiting for an answer, wrote another letter to the War Department on July 13, in which he set i enenellithietnemieimeninell Is I.) 118 ‘| — oe ae -———- PETERSON MAJESTIC R ALL KINDS AND SIZES. & HOMES, 406-408 NORTH BROADWAY.

During his recent tour of France he assumed the airs of a sovereign in insisting upon triumphal arches and salutes, and that garrisons be turned out to receive him.

As supplies afloat for and in European stocks were 33,- 400,0000 bu smaller on Aug. 1, 1896, than same date last year, over 436,000,000 bu wheat must have gone out of alee in that per.od, or at the rate of nearly 8,400,000 bu weekly. As it is not known how much native wheat Was consumed, the actual requirements must have been very much larger than that. Yet, theoretical requirements of Europe are said to be only 7,200,000 bu weekly. * _- New York Financial Chronicle of yester- day says of the statistical position of cot- ton: This Last Last Week.

The p'quant and pungent article is in sight everywhere, but it is about as badly neglected as ear-muffs in August and the New Orleans shippers have been requested to “let up.” . oa . Apples have ruled very low the past week, 7bc to .$1.50 per barrel. Of course fancy stock was a trifie higher, but really choice fruit was very scarce. Some orders from the South for red apples are very difficult to fill, and may be f r a week or two yet. - The many operators in the fruit and pro- duce district have had more funerals to attend the past month than they can re- call in any former year—all personal friends. John Schopp, John Wolf, and finally Martim Burns, have passed over to the silent majority in rapid succession. Fort Smith, Ark., expects to ship 2,000 car loads of potatoes this season, valued at $400,- 000.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—The condition of the money market has caused the political situation to be relegated to second place in financial discussion. For a long time the steady decline in the banks’ resources has foreshadowed more or less money strin- gency, and at this time there is no relief in sight. In addition to the usual demand for currency from the South and West for the purpose of moving crops, there has been going on for some time a withdrawal of funds from banks by persons frightened on account of*the political situation. As a result the surplus reserves have been re- duced to a point under $10,000,000, and it seems likely that this amount will be cut into within the next fortnight. All divis- ions in the money market reflect the con- tractions in the banks’ resources, although naturally the call money market has felt it least of all. This is due to the desire of money lenders to keep their funds within easy reach, and not employ them in the purchase of commefecial paper, or making — se oe money on call is not Bdge indication | ti mar- In the meantime the Id@gitimate trade is | Of ‘Me Teal condition of the rea’ money rejoicing over the prospect of a continued mee Wye yy is regarded from a proper advance in prices.

In support of their belief they point to the fact that hardly any surplus was car- ried over from last year; that the crops are not panning out well, and that good wheat is being snapped up as fast as it appears. The opinion is very general on ‘change that the turning point has been reached, and that better times are in store for grain producers, clined considerably during the week, and for the first time in several years importa- tions of gold which may be put down to natural causes have been announced, At present movement should be called nat- ural, as foreign exchange rates are still quoted at a figure above the normal im- porting point. The slight proms which gold not taken from the Sub-treasury com- mands in the open market makes the operation of importing profitable. It ap- pears as if the agreement entered into some time ago between the international banking houses not to export gold this fall would be a much easier task than was Western Stock Quotations.

When the first red streaks of dawn com- mence to light up the horizon back of East St. Louls and throw a tinge of crimson across the muddy water of the Mississippi on Sunday morning, they behold a ecene that is witnessed only once a week. It is a melancholy scene, in some respects, for the gray dawn casts dreary shadows over the tall buildings, and the dull streaks of light that sift through the fron girders of the great QRridge and hover around the eaves of the old houses along the levee seem despirited, even before they begin their day's work of bringing gladness to humanity. The waves kiss the shore in silence, but with an affection grown weary, and there is eh almost imperceptible moan, as of pleasure overdone, Skiffs that are chained to their moorings rock to and fro in a desultory manner, and the iron links grind and clan With dull murmur.

CHIEF HARRIGAN AND TWO OTH- ERS REMAIN OF THE OBIGIN- ALMETROPOLITAN POLICE. More than thirty-five years have passed since the Metropolitan Police Department of St. Louis was organized. of the 300 men who were sworn in at that time, June 1, 1861, only three still! remain in the service. One of these is Major Laurence Harrigan, the present Chief. The others are Sergt. John O'Sullivan of the Third District and Patrolman Daniel O’Brien, oS wagon signal officer, located at the Third District i a ote here, but the vast ew Others still reside here, Du majority of them are dead. The three who remain, who have served more than the average human life time in various capa~- cities connected with the department, are still as hale as men usually are who have aeeee Se three-score mark, and appear to é good for many years more. The act creating the department under the Metropolitan system was passed by the Gen- eral Assembly in April, 1801, just at the out- break of the Civil War. An organization was effected June 1, and three hundred men, ossibly a few more, were sworn in at the hestnut street station, east of Second street. James McDonough, whose son, James Mc- Donough, is now a Sergeant in the Fifth District, was appointed Chief of Police, and served until martial law was declared and S provissenal government established dur- ng the war. fie was succeeded ay Major John B. D. Couzins, father of Miss.

They staggered up the street, ripping great holes in the morning atmosphere, but the cop who sees them only smiles, for they are well-dressed, and he figures that they will soon take a cab and go home. In the drug stores that are open all night the clerk is not idle.

The saloon doors are closed or barely ajar. The curtains are drawn, but inside the walls and ceiling are resplendent with the light of a big white globe and its satellites. There are voices within, and an occasional burst of song from a tongue that is almost . past wagging. .. The street sweepers are out in full force. The tall, gaunt mules jog slowly along, _@nd the dust rises in clouds from the piles of filth that are swept toward the gutter, till one can almost fee] the. microbes bur- rowing in his skin. The streets in front of the newspaper offices commence to be filled with carts, to which are attached sleepy looking horses in charge of sleepy looking drivers. These are the boss carriers who have “‘routes’”’ to Supply. The heavy presses in the base- ments are going at lightning speed, and the Glleys are filled with mail wagons. The horses stamp their feet impatiently, anxious to be off to Union Station at a swift run With their load of thousands of papers. The driver consults his watch frequently for fear he may be a moment late and miss a train. Finally they go tearing up She street, and woe to the straggler who “gets in the way.

Practically, his whole life has been spent as a. member of the St. Louis Police Department, and he has watched it grow from a membership of 300 to nearly 800, while the districts have increased from three to eight. Probably the force was never more thoroughly organized than at present, and this may account for the fact that New York, with a department of 3.200 members, is afforded no better protec- tion, considering the difference in size, than t. Louis. Sergt. John O'Sullivan has not only spent a life time in the service of the Police De- partment himself, but has raised a son to the business of preserving the peace. Owing to the machinations of a gay widow, how- ever, the son resigned a year ago. For several years Sergt.

There are quite a number of St. Louis ‘golf’ en- thusiasts at Oconomowoc, so the chances are that the lovely course at the Country | Club will be well patronized by the fashion- able set, and “golf parties’ and “‘golf sup- pers’ will be quite a feature of the fall outing.

Both will‘ be can aa ae popular price plan, and at the first-named the continuous show scheme will obtain. There will be many days of warm weather yet, but Managers Hopkins and Garen are resourceful men and each has devised a plan by Renee 9 the yy geo ae in his house will pt down to a degree tha insur Oe en patrons. Rove . ere W a spirited rival be these two houses this season, ané the subiie will reap the benefit. Each is under a painstaking and intelligent management and neither is likely to neglect anything that will make the public feel good and liberal. The close competition will be a great thing for theater-goers, even those who are too proud and haughty to patronize a “T. T. T.” show shop. It will improve the quality of cheap attractions and force the high-priced houges to put on nothing but the best productions. The managers are both experienced cater- ers to the demand for amusements and they know that unless they preserve the strictest decorum in and around their establishments they will lose the class of patronage each is striving to secure. A vestige of disorder in the audience, or a trace of vulgarity on the stage would hurt either of these houses, intended for the use and pleasure of the plain people, more than it would a higher- priced theater. Knowing this, Col. Hopkins and Mr. Garen promise that nothing shall ever be said or done in their houses that could offend the most fastidious taste. The rivalry of the season will not be con- fined to the Roper price houses, The Olympic, the Century and the Fourteenth Street Theaters will contend for the patron- age of those who &are willing to “cough up” $1.50 to see the best attractions traveling. The Olympic will have the field to itself the first few weeks. It will open on Sept. 6 with Clay Clement and company in a repertoire. The house has been refurnished and new decorated, and is as bright and neat as the traditional new pin. Waneaes Short will have the same competent assist- ants who have aided him i making the public contented for years. @ says he has an exceptionally good line of attractions, and the prospect of two opposing houses does not alarm him nearly as much as the fear that he is getting stout. The plans of the Century Company are for a big opening on Sept. 27, but how it is to be done is hard to see. The building is not nearly completed and it is doubted that the workmen will be out of the theater before the middle of October. Manager Brady is in the East. He has booked a strong list of attractions. As to the Fourteenth Street Theater Manager George McManus hopes to open it by Sept. 15. He is having the cosy little play- house decorated and some changes made ry the foyer, but there is really little to Oo. “I will not open until I can get an attrac- tion of the highest class,” said Mr. Mc- Manus, “It is my purpose to cater to the most critical and refined element and if I have to keep the house dark for ten weeks during the season I will do it rather than put on any attraction not of pronounced merit. The house is not large and I want every seat filled whenever the curtain rises. I believe St. Louis will support three first- class theaters and I am after the cream of the patronage. I want it ized that when a show is put on the stage of the Fourteenth Street Theater it is the best of its kind and that the kind is good and clean and up’ to date. “I like the location of my house, because it is so accessible to the residence sections of the city. Every street car system run- ning to, the western part of the city has a line within a block or two of the theater. They were arranged in that way because of the location of the Exposition Building, and my house will get the benefit, or they will get the benefit of my house, whichever way you look at it.’’ This afternoon at 1 o’clock Hopkins’ Grand Opera-house will open for the season.

oes BRANCH GUARDS BICYCLE CORPS. THE SOLDIER LADDIES WHO DEM- ONSTRATED THE MILITARY UTILITY OF THE BICYCLE. —— — The Branch Guards Bicycle Corps, as indicated by the name, is a part of the well known military organization, the Branch Guards, and is composed of the members of that organization who are riders of the silent steed. The birth of the corps dates from last October, when the permanent organization was effected, but prior to that time some fifteen or twenty of the soldier boys had been riding together and hadeparticipated in cycling events in this city under the name of the company. The corps now number some forty mem- bers, Capt. C. A. Sinclair, commander of GIVES WOMEN COURAGE. Cycling Fosters Independence and Self-Reliance in Ladies. From its incipiency, wheeling has not been a question of sex. Drop frames were in- vented almost at the same time as safeties themselves; and since the advent of pneu- matic tires women have been walking upon air as easily and fearlessly as the sterner sex. To be sure, there always have been and perhaps—though the saints forfend—always will be, those who aver that it is forward in the extreme for woman to attempt anything man does, for nine cases out of tén these though imitation is the sincerest flattery— are urbanely indifferent. These back-pedalers have from time im- memorial insisted that women should clothe their feet in such a manner as to entirely preclusle the firm, free tread of a man— that their tender brains were capable of assimilating only such delicate food as mu- sic, drawing and a little French—and that to breathe From the abdomen was a highly improper and uniladylike proceeding, the correct form being a little gasp emanating about four inches down the trachea. Mother Eve was in luck. Dame Fashion was as yet unborn, and she did not have to wear her first primitive summer costume one way because Adam saw fit to wear his the other. The end of the century and the wheel are OVER A CLIFF ON A BICYCLE, ANDREW J. BOYLE TELLS HOW IT FEELS TO DROP SIXTY FEET WHILE RIDING. Andrew J. Boyle, Clerk of the Second Criminal Cq@uirt of Jersey City, faced death on a bicycle the early part of last week. He was riding along the Gorge road, which runs down the Palisades by a steep decline, Half way down there is a sharp curve, known as “Dead Man’s Curve.”” The road borders on a precipice 60 feet high, with a bed of jagged rocks at the bottom. Over this precipice his bicycle plunged, and his life was saved only by a miracle. Mr. Doyle’s story of his fearful experience follows, as told to a Journal reporter: “Death waits for everybody somewhere along the journey. And the bicycle rider is not exempt. Thefe is a death lying in lurk for him. He may meet it to-day. ‘“‘Under certain circumstances a man can a a . yo 4183, rsa 4 OSE Ars. teak, | I! ai 4 - a a 7 |) es a ee SE aS te ER ly ee ee ales las & ’ os) than I ever ; again, until my time ¢ Omes to go age gt world.’”’ Seteicad CENTURY CLUB NOTES.

He used one and I did not, but as I never had experienced any difficulty I thought nothing of the matter until the Doctor disappeared around the turn in the road and I heard him shout back to me to take care and not ride over the edge of the cliff. “There was need of the warning, for as I sped along I found, first to my annoyance and then suddenly with a feeling which can only be likened to a sudden chill, that I had lost control of my wheel. “My first thought was, can I make the turn? Almost as the thought was formed, however, I saw that it would be impossi- ble to control the wheel, and in imagination I saw myself wheeling over the cliff. I have a distinct recollection of thinking how comfortable it would feel when I struck on those rough rocks below. I also had time to wonder whether I or my wheel would strike first. “As a matter of fact, it was not the thought that I was bound to strike the rocks which dominated my mind, but I drepded the sensation of falling through space, and wondered how it woulé feel, and then how I would look. I also wondered if my companion would get to me first or would some stranger attempt to aid me. All of this passed through my mind in what must have been the fractional part of a second, and almost, in fact, before one would imagine I could realize my position. I had not the least doubt in my mind that I would go over that precipice and be dead a second later. “I cannot say that I had the slightest fear, Cc; _m., dinner; 2 p. m., club photo- wet R, $:30 p. m., music, songs, recitations; 3:30 p. m., Kaffeeklatsch; 5 p. m., start for home.

John Hurck is looked upon as a sure win- ner of the gold medal put up by the club for time prize on the 3th. Some dark: horse will probably win first place. With the exception of the road race there is little going on at this club this week.

The doctor made some tests with caffeine. This time his friends helped him. In doses of from 50-100 to 75-100, it gives at first a period of muscular excitation which acés upon the ng muscle in a han beneficial to the muscular system in general. This excitation lasts but a short time, but during the period the caffeine merely lets the re- serve forces of the system be expended more rapidly, and when its action suddenly ceases, one is surprised to find with what difficulty one manages to reach the end of the ride. To get at the real effects of kola, one must use the fresh kola nut, which alone has specia) properties. The dry kola seems to act only by the caffeine it con- tains. The doctor’s views on alcohol are inter- esting, in view of the fact that he speaks to a nation accustomed to consider wine as a sine qua hon to ses a forces. “As for alcohol,”’ he says, “it Is oné-of the worst enemies of the cyclist.

-_---_-- - @>- —-—— RECENT PURCHASES START THE) . . GOSSIPS’ TONGUES. ‘BARNES’ MEDICAL ‘ /LLEGE. A Hanfsome Structure Wh in Young ‘Men Will Learn th Art are | of Healing. | : The purchase of certein redity on Market and Walnut streets and Washington and Franklin avenues, between Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, by Edwards Whit- aker, for $136,500, gave rise to gossip to the effect that the Burlington Railroad was try- ing to get a line into Union Station. It was recalled that property on the same route was sold several months ago to Will- jam H. Thompson and Henry Ames, who were believed to be representing the Bur- lington, and the gossips at once put two and two together. Knowing real estate men laugh at these theories. They do say, however, that the Burlington did want such a line from the north several years ago, and garb! set to work through third parties gnd purchased ali the holdings between Walnut street and their tracks in North St. Louis, and between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. QDater it was found that the proposed route was not feasible, whereupon the idea | was abandoned. The deeds have never been, recorded. Now they are beginning, say the realty dealers, to be placed on record, and at no distant time the Burlington may try to dis- pose of the property. The new Barnes Medical College, at the | cornér of Garrison avenue and Chestnut stre@t, will be an ornament to that section of city. The lot its 117x131 feet. The building will cost $85,000. The main entrance will be on Chestnut street, under a classic colonnade forming a spacious loge leading into a deep vestibule and through three wide double doors into an extrance hall thirty-two feet in width. columning a flight of marble steps to a foyer 24x44 feet. From these ascend two wide easy flights of stairs, and a rapid passenger elevator, communicating with the several fioors of the buildine. In the rear of the foyer are two wide, double doors leading to a reception corridor 69x60 feet, communicating with a cross ha!! 25x100 feet, entered from the Garrison ave- nue side. Bordering on this hall and re- ception corridor are foueteen large rooms for a free dispensary, medical and surgical clinic rooms, clerk, professors’ apartments, tollet and reception rooms, and a college pharmacy. The second floor will contain a central corridor, with stairways and elevcior com- municating with six rooms across the front of the building for the offices of the fac- ulty. There will be a large waiting-room at either end, and two lecture halls, each 40x70 feet. The third floor will contaif’ a central cor- ridor, communicating with the biological, bacteriological and pathological laborato- ries, and the professor's private rooms, board rooms, faculty rooms and toilet rooms, The fourth floor will be devoted to the chemical and analytical laboratories. The fifth floor will contain a laboratory. Adjacent to this laboratory are professors’ rooms and toliet rooms for students. The architectural designs of this building were prepared by J. B. Legg, who is super- intending its construction. While somewhat classic in general design and detall, it is strictly speaking Italian re- naissance, worked up with simple, unpreten- tious outline, but graceful in proportion, massive in construction and elegant in detail. The bullding will be constructed of dark or brick trimmed with gray stone and ark gray ornamental terra cotta, orna- mented with large pilasters springing from molded bases and terminating in rich- ly carved capitals, support an ornamented cut stone belt course encircling the building, forming a sill course for the second story window. The building will rise e!ghty feet above the sidewalk, terminating in a heavy nodillion cornice with rich'y ornamented frieze sur- mounted with a battlement balustrade, ail of which will be constructed of heavy sheet metal.

Government has its origin In the family, at length it extends to the tribe, and finally to the people, in which the unit is the village community. Here is the birth of liberty—the right of each to have some voice in making the laws which govern him; the right of each to order his own in- dependent, individual existence as he chooses, provided in so doing he infringes not upon the rights of others. That man who most truly respects his own rights will most sacredly refrain from usurping to himself special privileges not accorded to others.in the community. “Equal: rights to all, special privileges to none,” is the slogan of true liberty, a watch- word, a prayer, an inspiration, as yet hov- ering over civilization. Only a few have grasped its full meaning, have seen its pure white light glowing upon the mountain tops. They are proclaiming the way and declaring that universal peace and brother- hood will be the reward to that nation | ' which trusts liberty and administers to all impartial justice. Since liberty began in the unit—the cau- cus—it is the village or city government that we must look to to discover if liberty still remains; for here is her first and her last stronghold. How many of our city governments are to-day the close corpora- tions for political machines and rings to fleece the people, favoring the few who can afford to pay for special privileges? Did not Mayor Pingree’s gallant fight with the great corporations of his city remind one of some knight of the middle ages fighting with, the giants of darkness? And did he not declare, after long and bitter experience, that there are in every. great city such enormous vested interests at stake that they will surely control the people unless the people control them; that the political machines are not so much to blame as the corporations that work, GEORGE M. KEELEY. There is probably no one more favorably and better known in the real estate field than George M. Keeley, who has been a resident of St. Louis since 1865, from which time, until 1872, he held responsible positions with a number of the big daily papers. In 1872 he embarked in the real estate business, and in 1874 formed a partnership with Joseph B. Morton, under the firm style of Keeley & Morton.

The first development in East St. Louis seemed to set in to the eastward on Broadway, by the building of several new factories; the next about the Stock Yards by the building of some new packing lants and an immense new horse mar- et, and now the southern portion of the city and writ the river seems to hold sway. With the cleaning off of the old shanties by the cyclone, the filling in of the holes and the erection of new freight depots have begun, and the [illinois Central has acquired a large area of land ata cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars as a site for the immense shops which they are to move here from Chicago and other points erona the road. Quite an extensive lant has en started near the Tudor ron Works for the manufacture of the Janney car coupler, which has immense orderss as all cars must be provided with automatic couplers by Jan. 1, 1898. also a company organizing to build a large nail mill in the same section, as it is claimed that the low price of iron and the high price of nails is a great open- — arter ‘the at by Dr. : a THE PERFECT TIRE MENDER MENDS THE TIRE ITSELF INSTANTLY ¢ | sisariios zis: NO PLUGGING {WILLNOTINJURE PRICE $ 2.00 PER BOTTLE, 204 NORTH SIXTH ST., BET.

Special Oeveeaponéence of the Post-Dispatch. GRANT FORK, Til, Aug. 2L.—A candle gerty was given in honor of the children at e d neral rings T IN COLORADO. ‘ho Hotel Bigger Than the Planters’ in the Mountain Fastnesses. The following letter written from a famous Colorado hunting lodge, is: full of interest for the lovers of gun and: rod, the writer being widely known in St. Lou!s as a most ardent and successful sportsman—a de- votee to hunting and fishing: MARVINE LODGE, Rig Blanco County Colo., Aug. 11, 1896. My Dkrar B.—I arrived at this lodge in the wilderness last night at 11:30, whereas I should have been here last Saturday. The stage was delayed at Glenwood Springs for four hours, which compelled me to lay over at the half-way station over night, and as the line only makes the trip every other day, I had to remain at the station two days. he seven- ty-five miles by stage is a very rough ride, but I enjoyed the trip very much and saw some magnificent scenery. I stopped at Glenwood awe one night. I was much disappointed in the town and surroundings, but astonished at the mag- nificence of the Colorado Hotel and its grounds. I can not understand why any practical business men would spend each a vast amount of money on a hotel where the attractions are so limited. Still it must be a@ satisfaction to visiting millionaires to find all the conveniences and comforts of a Waldorf” out in these mountain fastnesses, with this glorious climate. The hotel is larger than the Planters’. It is built of stone, with two ells, and situated at the base of the mountain—in fact the rear is within a few feet of the pines which cover the entire peak. The front faces the river, a large and beautiful lawn finely graded for 300 or 400 feet then terraced down to the river. Along the terrace for about 200 feet extends a bathing pool, nicely walled about. and the bottom paved with brick. Bath houses, coasters, rafts and all appliances are pro- vided for a delightful lunge or swim; above the pool to the left is the drinking well and immediately above is a large cir- cular-walled hot spring, which supplies the ool with hot water. Cold water is piped 0 the pool and the flow has been regulated sO that the temperature of the pool is just luke~warm all the time. The grounds are filed with shrubbery, flowers and _ trees, and here and there are fountains with pond lilies and other water flowers blooming abundantly and all kept in the most per- fect order. The hotel has every modern convenience and the furnishings are luxu- rious. Altogether, the Colorado quite sur- oT anything It have ever seen in this Leadville is the only: place of note be- tween Colorado Springs and Glenwood. We stopped there for supper and were served a Ms (4 good meal indeed, but the town has nothing to interest the transient passenger. There are a few brick houses, nearly all business houses, but the rest are little dirty eheap-looking frame houses, built on a few aes of ground, such as are occupied by ners, one long the patrons to lounge in, decorated with eking of bear, wild cat, cougar, elk and antelo with eagles’ wings and various Other birds adorning the walls; also with horns of elk, deer and antelope, all on every side filed with ns, pistols, fishing rods roe Pe | P tables. pd ~ ba) and @ largest fire-place yOu ever saw are feat- ures in the furnishings of this ideal lodge room.

Also there are ea made entirely of clusters of jew- els, a group of long pendant pearls being an especially popular design. Nobody has ever seemed to think it necessary that the de- s of an earring should mean anything, and #0 a simple stringing together of rare metals and gems in a comparatively har- monious combination is now as at all times, sufficient to meet the demands of fashion and to satisfy the ambitious maiden that she has not tortured herself in vain. There are, of course, those of certain modest tastes, not abreast with the cur- rent of popular fancy, who maintain an obstinate preference for the least notice- able ear ornaments, and who cling to the solitaire diamond and the single pearl as though these fulfilled the design for which the earring was originally brought into use. But if in spite of these isolated preferences it remains a fact that the function of the earring is to draw attention to itself and to a pretty face, then in size, design and brilliancy the earings of the present season are well qualified.

That majestic title belongs to the bull, In a fierce fight which lasted three-quarters of an hour a monster lion was conclusively whipped by a powerful bull in Guatemala recently. The contest took place in the Plaza de Toros, and was a part of the performance It had been of Mme. Poisson's circus. widely advertised, and several thousand spectators occupied seats in the amphithe- ater and witnessed the fight. The excite- ment was intense during the struggle, and at times nearly all the spectators were on their feet, yelling and howling with de- light. The lion was a superb animal named Sultan. He was bought in Connecticut gome months ago for the express purpose of being pitted against a bull. He was a larke, Rep apsene animal, with a shaggy mane anda nobie air. The bull was a well- bred animal, raised on the hacienda of Don Pedro Aycenena, about sixty miles west of Guatemala. He is known as Vuelto de Gato and has taken part in numerous bull fights, during which he has proved his cou @® and endurance. Both animals had been kept fasting for three days, to insure a fierce fight. When A SAMSON GUARDS LUNATICS NO HANDCUFFS OR STRAIGHT JACKETS ARE EVER NEEDED WHEN HE IS AROUND.

He is known all over the Pine Tree State, and hundreds of stories are told of his feats. He is a ward master in the Danvers Asylum, at a salary of $1,200 a year, and is one of the most valuable men ever ein- ployed there. He needs no help to handle the most obstreperous patient.

He takes the crazy one by the arms, lifts him clear off the floor and by brute force holds him there until he recognizes his master and becomes quiet. Chains and handcuffs are unnecessary when Cy Phipps can be had So tremendous is his anunetl that even a frenzied lunatic has no show, and Cy has never been hurt in the many scuffles he has had with unruly patients, nor has he hurta patient seriously.

Skinny babies are not adapted to the alligator palate and are passed by with scorn. But an alligator will crawl a long distance for a fat one. This liking of the saurian for babies ts used by hunters in Ceylon to lure the reptiles to their death. A nice, fat baby is tied by the leg to a stake near some pond or lagoon where crocodiles abound. Soon the child begins crying and the sound attracts the crocodiles within hearing distance. They start out immediately for the wailing infant. The hunter in the meantime conceals himself in the bushes or swamp grasg near the baby, with a rifie in his hand projecting out and almost over the child. He remains perfectly quiet and the reptile, intent on its prey, notices nothing but the screaming and kicking child. As the monster ap- proaches to within a few feet of the bait the hunter sends a bullet directly into the alligator’s eye; causing instant death.

The bull dashes around the arena, but de- spite his frant.c efforts he cannot shake off the terrible adversary, who is causing him untold agony with teeth and claws. It looks as though the lion has things all his own way, and those who are backing the lion are triumphant. But instinct teaches the lion that to kill the bull he must attack him in a vital spot. He dismounts and makes a dash for the bull’s throat. He siezes it and the flowing blood augurs a sveedy ending to the fight in the lion's favor. But as the bull goes frantically around bellowing with pain, dragging the lion with him, the horned beast of the plains seems to realize an opportunity. The body of the lion is on the ground, directly under the bull. Doubling himself up, the bull lowers his head, raises his hind feet, and they descend with frightful force on the prostrate body of the lion. Again the bull stamps with both hind feet and the hoofs sink into the body of the Other beast with telling effect. The sound of the bu'l’s feet as they crush the flesh and bones! of the lion's body can be plainly heard, and it does not seem possible that living flesh can long stand such treatment. He stamps viciously, but still the lion maintains his hold and pays no more at- tention to the suffering than if it were not his body that is under the feet of the vicious bull. The lion chéws at the throat of the bull and the latter stamps the lion’s vitals. And the audience yells and howls with de- light. It is a fight worth seeing. But at length the terrific trampling to which the lion has been subjected has done its work. The poor beast cannot rise to his feet, and he lies calmly on his side as the bull turns and charges with lowered head and blood-shot eyes. The ggring does not hurt the lion much because of his thick hide and shaggy mane. But there is no more fight in him. He slinks away and hanwes close to the sides of the arena where the bul! has no room to charge. His cage door is opened and he {ts glad to make his escape into it, utterly whipped and dejected. The bull, though badly bit- ten and laeerated, will soon be in condition fer another fight. Chicago’s Latest Innovation.

As a rule the sound of the firearm scares the baby worse than the presence of the crocodile’s jaws and the rows of ,sharp and glistening teeth, but after being shot over a few times, the child es the shooting as a matter of course and pays little attention to it. So expert are many of the hunters that they do not shoot the alligator until it has approached to within a few feet of the baby.

UNHEARD OF RITES BY HINDOOS TO PROPITIATE A GODDESS FOR CHECKING CHOLERA. Torturing the body seems a poor sort of religious rite, and yet that is a necessary part of religious ceremonies in various countries. Dancing on red-hot coals with the bare feet is but one of the forms of worship adopted by religious fanatics in some countries. Though more or less com- mon in India, it would never be popular in this country. Mamy of the religious ceremonies of In- dia are barbaric in their conception and execution. A resident of Chicago, who has been traveling for so time in India, writes of such an event, which he witnessed May 26, Ot at tnenentty, a little town in Southern That dread disease, cholera, which is al- ways to be found in India, had for several weeks been slaughtering the inhabitants, and medicine, as well as prayers to the goddess comfortably housed in the temple of the town, failed to check the epidemic. Finally eight men made solemn vows that the disease was stopped by a certain + a as would go through the “‘fire sacri- The disease stopped, or almost ceased to kill, before the date set, and the eight men prepared to make their vows good. On wy tomy 4 set for the fulfillment of the vows, three huge wagonloads of wood were hauled to an open space in front of the temple. The villagers assisted in the ar- rangements, and the wood was placed in a regular pile about four feet wide and ten feet long. A trench about three feet wide and two feet deep was dug around the pile of wood, and the latter was then set on fire. In about four hours the wood was reduced to a pile of live coals, six or eight inches deep, spread evenly over the surface of the ground. A hundred natives then appeared with pails, and the ditch was filled -with water. It sizzlied and steamed as it struck coals which had rolled into the ditch. The heat was terrific, and it was impos- sible for the average person to approach near the blazing coals. Within the temple the eight men were preparing for the sacri- fice. Prayers were uttered and the goddess was beseeched to make the suffering of the As the hour ap- proached for the climax, the eight men were almost frenzied, and their shrieks and howls could be heard for a long distance. Suddenly they dashed out of the temple and approached the heap of coals. They were dressed in loose, lemon colored gar- ments, and were shrieking as if mad. They writhed and groaned and made hideous contortions, all of which was supposed to be the spirit of the goddess within them. Suddenly they jumped into the water in the trench, where they remained for a few sec- onds, almost enveloped in the steam which hunt crocodiles with human bait.

Raising peacocks and pheasants is a new business in this country. To supply their wants a number of millionaires are im- porting birds and eggs from Erigland. George Vanderbilt is among the number. He has already a lot of peacocks, of the breed curiously called “Japanned;” per haps because their feathers have 4 metal- lic, lacquer-like glittering, they are often wrongly spoken of as the Japanese or Ja- pan peacock. Theodore Havemeyer has recently imported a lot of pheasants eggs of the choicest breed. He sent them to his model farm, Mahwak, N. J., and then in- vited a company of bantam hens to hatch oe: yee t & common sight ough no : By - ne = ere occasionally seen; pheasants are even more rare—but as al- ready said a demand has arisen for nag and a lucrative business should be carrie on in dealing with both the eggs and the birds. , England, there is a pheasant nova ae one estate where more than 100,000 eggs are sold annually. To visit Warwick Castle is to see peacocks in all their glory; indeed, the place is famous for these birds, of which the handsomest are Wiaving become possessed of a pair of peafowls, they require very little man- agement, but must be carefully fed. If not kept in confinement they pick up a pretty substantial living themselves; it must be seen to that they have pony of water and grain. and occasionally fresh vegetables. In winter they must have a sheltered home, In summer they avail themselves of the shelter of trees, and in some secluded nook the nest is made. The hen should be left to her own meditations, and not interfered with while she is on the nest hatching the eggs. A peafowl allowed to make her own nest in a hedge, always brings out a stronger and better brood than one that has a nest in the house. When hatched, the young brood should not be removed until the next day, feeding not being required. The first food should be egg and milk, .equal parts, beat- en together and heated until it sets into a soft mass; this is given with a little millet or wheat. When one adds sufficiently to one’s stock to sell eggs as well as birds, one’s bank account should assume healthy Bringing up pheasants by hand is an extensive industry in England, and there is no reason it should not thrive here.

One day, while driv- ing a dog-cart along the road, he met a num- ber of neighbors moving a house. “Get that house out of the way orlI will throw it in a ditch.” said Cy.

Near Dedham were a number of granite quarries. After a blast was shot and a seam made in the rock, a huge bar of iron eigr feet long and weighing 200 pounds was used to pry the stone loose. t was thrust into the crevice and a ring dropped over one end. Oxen were then hitched to the ring and the mass of granite was thus worked loose. A rival strong man had once used this immense bar, and had moved a mass of granite weighing several tons. When this feat was related to Phipps he set about beating it. He worked with the same piece of metal and tried to move about a third of the mountain. He did not suc- ceed, but he did bend the bar of iron until it formed a right angle and was useless for further prying. He married a nice girl in Orland and raised a fine family. n 1880 he went to Lynn, Mass., and secured a job running an engine. He stayed there for ten years, and was one of the attractions of the town.

The natives claimed that the goddess protected the men by the exercise of her marvelous powes, and she now stands much higher n their opinion than before. The sceptical insisted that the feet of the men were hard and horny from going bare- footed, and that for several weeks before the ordeal they had been hardened by the use of alum water. The fact that the feet were wet, and that the men did not remain still, but continually jumped ahout stepping as lively as possible, also had much to do with the result.

HERE’S A LABOR SAVER. When You Want to Open Your Letters Just Pull a Thread. Opening an envelope by pulling a string is the latest labor saving device. Like all simple contrivances, it seems queer no one thought of it before, but that doesn’t im- pair its usefulness. Any envelope can be equipped with the opener. An ordinary piece of thread is in- serted at the top of the flap, and when the fold is made the thread projects from one end. To open the envelope ali that is neces- sary to do is to pull back the thread. This envelope opener is a New York in- vention, und it promises to be very popular with the busy business man.

Count Zeppelin, a cavalry officer, who bee came famous at the beginning of the war of 1870, ha: for five years been occupled w'th the subject of aerial navigation. He has invented a means of treating the pores of the silk stuff used in thé making of the balloon so that it will hold the gas for months His car is very firmly attached te the balloon. with the propeiiers in front and steering gear behind, aluminum with a 6 to 10 per cent copper alloy. The balloon can rise to a height of about nearly two tons, and if necessary remain seven and a half days in the air. The ex- pansion of the gas by warmth is met by conducting what may be called the oever- flow into a reserved space, so that the balloon cannot burst, and yet loses to gas. Ascent and descent are effected without throwing out ballast or. loss of gas. The advantuges of Count Zeppelin's bailoon have becn fully acknowledged by the Prus- sian military authorities. They reckon the maximum speed atta nable to be five meters per second (say eleven m les an nour), but er second.

When Two Days Old They Broke All Records by Orowing Lustily. FARMERSVILLE, Tex., Aug. 20.— There have been recorded many freaks of precocious developments, many queer cases of unnatural intelligence and more in- stances of.adult propensities, but for up-to- date “chic” and “cute” abnormality, a pair of chicks In the premises of Mr. Rufe Grimes of Farmersville, Tex., must surely take the cake, The infant “chanticleers in question first saw the light of this sordid existence Ju! 25, 1896. Two days later the young fellows with their nine brothers and sisters at play or seeking the proverbial early worm, THIS IS THE MOSQUITO HAWK. —— genius has found & way to decimate the ranks of the pestiferous small enemy. It is known that the dragon fiy is the deadliest enemy the mosquito has. He pur- sues his prey with such energy that ento- mologists have given the name of the “mosquito hawk’’ to the dragon fly. Acting on this knowledge, it is now proposed to cul- tivate the dragon fly in sufficient numbers to drive the mosquito out of business. The idea of employing the dragon fly as a@ mosquito hunter first occurred to Robert H. Lamborn of New York. Mr. Lamborn died a year ago, before he had an oppor- tunity to fully garry out his ideas. It is now proposed by a number of his friends to complete the experiment which he sug- gested. He happened one afternoon to be in the American Museum of Natural History, when he observed William Beutenmuller, the well-known entomologist of the institu- tion, feeding a dragon fly. There seemed no end to the mosquito hawk’s appetite. Fly after fiy was devoured, until the thirty- fourth had disappeared. “Why,” suddenly exclaimed Mr. Lam- born, “‘wouldn’t that fellow make a fine hunter to clear the files out of our houses?’ “He would,” Mr. Beutenmuller, “‘if we could only get him In sufficient num- ors and cultivate the right sort of hab- “And mosquitoes, too,”” continued Mr. Lamborn. “That's the echeme. There is no reason why the dragon fiy shouldn't be artificially cultivated and trained go as to be a perfect exterminators of the mosquito pest.’ Mr. Lamborn at onoe got to work. He of- : leaped suddenly into local prominence b giving vent to the'r enthusiasm through regular orthodox crows, just like the clarion = of pride uttered by their promt fa- ther. When Mr. Grimes first noticed the demon- strations of the downy youngsters he thought it must be due to something lodgea in their larynxes, but going out to make closer investigation, he found the two in- stinctively bowing their necks and pour- ing forth in minature that peculiar noise of crowing made by the adult rooster, and that with as much grace as is attributed to the campaign rooster of victorious Dem- ecracy. The chickens are a cross of black game and byt cochin. Notices of some length appeared in the local papers, and when asked ff he would corroborate the claims of the reports, Mr. Grimes replied that he asked no one to take his word, but they must accept that of his wife, who has the same story to tel. The chicks have been christened Bryan and Watson, and it seems now they will be called on in Novem- ber to exercise their crowing eloquence in celebration of the victory of the distin- guished gentlemen whose names they bear; or, if, through the most likely event of its being Bryan and Sewall, the chicks wil crow with no less enthusiasm.

Cradled at the foot of a circling group of hilis lies the most mysterious and at the same time ghostly sheet of water in Al- meda County, Cal. For years it has borne the name of “Blair's Pond,” and during its existence has hidden beneath its dark surface more human bodies than any similar patch of water of its size in these regions, Indeed, there has not been a Coroner in Alameda County since 1875, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, until the’ present time who has not been obliged to record on the death rolls some victim of the weird pond, and, strangest of all, each one of the mar- tyrs to the dismal hole has been a good swimmer. The pond has a history, and about it twine many peculiar facts, which in some instances seem almost inexplicable. Prior to 1872 there was not even @ suUg- gestion of water on the spot. At that time a firm of stone contractors named Bates & Wells realized that hidden in the hills was @ quantity of very valuable paving rock which then commanded a big price from the city of Oakland. They conceived the idea of opening an extensive quarry, and getting the city’s contract for the paving which was to be done. A long lease was ob- tained from Blair, the owner of the land. Then the first quarry in Alameda County was opened. The stone proved of such excellent quality that an extensive plant was soon erected. Tracks were laid, and small cars, worked by a windlass, conveyed the rock*to the “dumps.”” One hundred and fifty Italians were employed on the premises. The rock thus obtained was used in remacadamizing Oakiand’s principal streets. With time the better quality of rock be- came scarce, so orders were given to sink a wide shaft and work out the lower stratum. This task was undertaken in the summer of 1873, and had progressed with such good results that the hole was gradually enlarged until it covered considerable area. Then, again, it became necessary to go deeper into the hill. This time extensive preparations were made for blasting. When all was ready a mighty charge was adjusted, and with the explosion which followed a vast torrent of water spouted forth from the excavation. Before the astonished workmen had time to realize what had mappenss they were knee-deep In the flood. rock qearty and one Of the richest in Alameda County was abandoned. The water is over sixty feet in depth. Its circulation is a mystery, It contains strong central currents, but there overfiow, except during frainy weather, when a small stream trickles from it. During the major portion of the year there is absolutely no visible outlet. NOT QUITE SIAMESE TWINS. OF DBATH. - —_ [ SWALLOWED HIS BROTHER. A Big Black Snake Makes a Meal Out of His Twin.

The story is told in a Chinese newspaper, with the additional information that after thousands of curious people had viewed the monstrosities, the parents, full of super- stitious fancies, strangled all three of the infants, believing that otherwise a curse would fall on them. The British Vice Consul urged that’ the parents be arrested and punished, but the Chinese authorities seemed to think the arents were justified. Anyway, they re- used to interfere. THE GOOSE FLOWER. — It Looks Like That Bird and Grows to Be as Large. Tt is known to botanists under the name of “aristolochia gigas Sturtevantii,” but its ordinary name is “goose flower.” It is the exact image of a goose and grows often to the size of that sagacious bird. The goose flower was discovered two years ago in Brazil by the botanist Sturte- vant. It was displayed at the World’s Fair. The goose flower is a rampant climber and will spread over a ten-acre field in almost no time. The plant adds from two to three inches to its growth every day in summer. The irls and they were cracked, which is not the case. It really looks as if the partly decayed stump of the oak has been the means of absorbing nourishment sufficient to keep the madrone alive. The stump of the oak is about eight feet above the ground, which can be accounted for by the grading of the road. The ma- drone is about twenty-five feet high and appears to be in good condition in spite of the unusual conditions under which it is growing. THE OAR FISH. A Queer Serpent-Like Monster Which Lives in Deep Water. And now comes the oar fish, or, by scien- tists the regalicus—the scientific sharp al- ways has to have a name for things which the ordinary layman can neither pronounce nor understand. The oar fish lives in deep water, down, down, thousands of feet below the surface, It is a very rome swimmer and is shaped like a huge snake, It is provided along its sides with long, sweeping oar-like fins which it uses to propel itself through the water when in search of its prey. When in repose the fins fold close to the body. It is usually from 18 to 24 feet in length, and it is occasionally stranded on the shore in stormy seasons.

Robinson had just returned to Cranberr Corners after a dozen years’ absence, an the first person he met as he walked up the street was an old-time acquaintance mamed Hanks. ; Naturally Robinson was anxious to learn all the news, and as soon as the first greet- ing wa over he opened fire: “TI say, Hanks, what has become of all the boys? Haven't heard a word, hardly, about any of them since 1 went West.” “Oh, the most of ’em are kicking around lively as ever. Which ones do you wish to hear about particularly ?’’ “Well, Jim Barlow—where is he now?” “New York City. Getting rich faster than @ horse can trot, too, they say.”’ “And Hank Brown is still alive, I gup- se?” “Bet your boots he is!

Well, by Jinks, she’s had better luck than J expected. Betsey was good-hearted and all that, but she was tg badly handicapped by her looks. Oh, y the way, did you say who she married?’”’ “I didn’t,”’ drawled Hanks, with a humor. us twinkle in his optics, ‘“‘but if you'll come up to the house with me I'll introduce you ao AY wife, and then you can see for your- self.’ Ten minutes later Robinson was down at the station buying a return ‘ticket to Sioux City. a : | With this result. - The eleqhant Fido waited till his boss had rowed his mustache mixture.

The streets are over- crowded with people. Commerce has temp- orarily released its hold on the throat of humanity, and humanity is rushing out to feed its face and wet its whistle. For one brief hour the slaves of toil are free to go where they will, and their first impulse is to seek a place where liquid and eolid refreshment may be found. Singly and in pairs, by threes and fours they come trooping out of scores of big establishments like so many school chil- dren just released for the day, and go scurrying along the streets to their favorite esorts. MNO clock need strike, no whistle need blow, no banner need be hung out to noti- fy pedestrians that it is 12 o’clock. When you pass a big publishing house or other printing establishment and see the office boy bounding down the stairway with a dozen quart buckets strung on a pole, you may know that the.“horny hand of time is on the prick of twelve. If you will observe the boy, even casually ou will see him dart into a saloon and then dart out again with a dozen foaming “growlera”’ and disappear up the stairday. A moment later he will emerge again and sprint arcund the block to a restsu- rant and come back loaded down with pies and perhaps a small stock of sandwiches. Besides being office boy he occupies the sition Chief Growler Rusher and unch CarTier, and his performance Is re- peated every day at noon with unfailing regularity. e is never a second late, and when is feet strike the pavement it is a safe et that it is mot later than 12:01 p. m.

The amount of this messenger work done daily will prove surprising to those who have never 0 it. Policemen stationed at dangerous street crossings have a hard time of it—almost as hard as they have between 6 and 7 o’clock in the evening, but their more fortunate fe!l- shady corner, 4iscuss the latest action of the Police Board and speculate on future events at the Fourf Courts. The great procession of humanity sweeps by, with never a sign of stopping. The dry goods stores, the restaurants the cigar stores, the confectionaries and saloons all dco a rushing business for a while, but the tide begins to ebb by 12:45 o’clock, and fifteen minutes later everybody who is em- ployed indoors ts back at his post again, and the streets resume their normal appear- ance. At 6 o’clock the hosts of labor will again emerge from their places of business, and the impecunious young man, who has just partaken of a 15-cent meal, will again in- sert a toothpick between his chops and take his stand in front of the Planters’ for the sake of appearances. ‘ X RAYS WILL PROVE DEATH. Physicians Can Tell With Certainty Whether a Patient Is Dead or Not. At last what seems an infallible indica- tion of death has been discovered. Scores of people have a horror of being bur'ed alive and there have been many attempts made to discover some test aside from time that will assure the friends that death has really occurred and that the burial may safety proceed. Heretofore none of these signally. Dr. C L. Barnes, a Chicago physician, has recently been experimenting with X rays, and he now announces that they will determine positively whether real death has @ccurred or whether the patient is in atrance Dr. Barnes made a shadowgraph of his own hand, and on the same plate laid a dissected hand of a cadaver. When the plate was developed, after being exposed to the mysterious rays for some time, the difference in the two radiographs was no- ticeable. The dead flesh offered more re- sistance to the penetration of the rays than the living, and a glance would deter- mine which was the hand of the corpse. Other experiments which he made confirmed his opinion. The fluoroscope is even better than the shadowegraph as a means of de- termining whether life is present or not. It seems strange that there should be no accurate way of determining when a man is dead, but such is really the case. The absence of the circulation of the blood is a fairly good test, but there are instancees of lfe returning after the heart had ceased to beat—or, at least, beat so weakly that it was not perceptible either in the breats or at the pulse. Mus- cular contraction cannot be relied on, as dead people will twitch when an electric battery is applied to them. Rigor mortis cannot be relied on, for that is often pres- ent in the case of cataleptios. The gradual cooling of the body has long been rega’ded by phys.cians as an accurate test, but it is now known that such a cord'tion may fole- low the collapse which accompanies partial drowning. The contraction of the muscles is an accompaniment of certain diseases, and so is the discoloration of the skin, which is noticeable after death. Dr. Barnes is a well-known physician, and his discovery is regarded as one of vast importance, He has written several books on dissection, embalming and kindred sub- jects, and has been exper:menting with the X rays ever since Roentgen made his discovery known.

ONE JUMPS ON A SWORD AND AN- OTHER STABS HIMSELF, BUT NO BLOOD FLOWS. In the supplementary exhibition of “Old Buda” stands a reproduction of an Old Buda mosque, built of stone, majolica and wood, in a mixture of Turkish and Euro- style for a sleeping fakir. Here Moslems and Dervishes assemble to say or dance their prayers, and for a florin you may ascend the gallery and watch them below. The mosque opened on the holy night of Bairam, the most solemn feast of the Ma- hometan year, and quite a crowd planked down their silver to listen to the pious worshipers. Is it not shameful? am happy to say I did not pay for my seat. Even in Budapest I was a persona gratis. Twas centainly a remarkable scene, its solemnity emphasized by the thunder with- out, that drowned the voice of the Mued- din calling to prayer, and the lightning and rain-torrents that sent the pretty little al fresco wattresses scudding about with their serviettes on their heads to ténd the few parties in the leafy square that dined on regardless of diluted wine or under the protection of umbrellas.

All the mere Mussulmans having retired, the Dervishes sat around cross-legged, forming an oval, Presently they began to say some phrase, presumably Arabic (it sounded like es klabbam vivurah), which they repeated and reported with the same endless, uniform, monotonous intonation, swaying from right to left and from left to right, till I felt the whole universe was this phrase, and nothing else would happen till the end of the world, and the world would never end. At last, when I haa reconciled myself to living forever and ever with this sound in my ears, they broke into a pleasant melody with rhyming stan- zas and a refrain from “Hazlee,”’ Then they started on another word with endless i*eration, and then they repeated ‘“‘Allah, Allah, Allah,” swaying and swaying till the universe began to reel. I became aware that their chief, who was seated on a special red carpet, was counting on a rosary. and I drew relief from the deduc- tion that an end would come. It did, but worse remained behind, for the Dervishes got up and formed a ring around their chief, and began swaying right and lett and backward and forward, unrestingly, re- morselessly, getting quicker and quicker, till there was nothing in the world but yh Ape this way and that way, back and orth. At last the movements began to slow down and to sweep over larger curves, and sud- denly they stopped altogether, only to re- commence as the fanatics started singing a joyous hymn. Alas! thought I, one-half the world is a laughing stock to the other half, if indeed not rather a source of tears. For now the chief, whose fine gloomy East- ern face still haunts me, was bowing to his men, and they were responding with strange raucous cries compounded of the roars of’ wild beasts and the pants of locomotives. Hu! Hu! they roared in savage unison, Hu! Hu! monotonously, endlessly, making strange motions.
