Foed- _erer, Burk Bros., J. P. Mathein & Co., George Baum & Co., F. Blumenthal & Co. and William Zahn.“ Such is the conditional clause in the terms of an agreement by which it is hoped to ‘es'‘@blish a huge trust of leather manufac- turers, who, by the monopoly thus created, will be able to manipulate prices to suit themselves and extort large sums of money from. the public. The firms whose names are given have already signed the contract, and are pre- pared to begin work under its provisions. They represent an invested capital of more than $10,009,000. But, in addition to these, many others have been invited to join. So far the latter have not signed the contract, but most of them have expressed their will- ingness to do so unless the conditions now governing the business world are greatly altered in the next few weeks. By all of chem the clause making the binding power ‘of the agreement conditional upon the elec- tion of McKinley is regarded as vital. . “We all know that the election of Bryan 5 would prevent us doing any business, * ‘said Secretary Davis of the Zahn Tannery.

They. would not deny that they signed the contract, but refused to plain why they feared the election of Bryan so much as to make the contract void in the event of his success. Mr. Davis was more outspoken. “Why is it that the clause was insert- | ed?“ he was asked. “I am not quite sure, I don’t know that we discussed that very much,” said he. “But the clause is there and it must have been inserted for some special and urgent reason.“ Well, you see,” was the slow response, “we all know that the election of Bryan would prevent us doing any business,’ “You mean by that that you regard Mr. Bryan as an enemy to such agreements as the one your firm signed?“ Now, look here,” said Mr. Davis, I am not authorized to speak in this matter; that clause was not discussed much. Every one accepted it at once. If you want to know why it was put in and just what it means, you had better go to Henry Burk of Burk Bros., Philadelphia. He has done most of the active work in this matter, and knows just how the contract reads and why each clause was put in. He is the only one authorized to talk about it.“ Then Mr. Davis refused to make any more explanatory statements regarding the trust’s plans, DOCKED Ton THE BANNER. Employes of a — Jersey Factory Forced to Pay for a Flag Raising. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 24~—There is con- siderable talk in labor circles over a banner raising which took place at Wheeler & Russell’s hat factory in the lower part of the city a few days ago. The banner was raised in the interest of McKinley and Hobart and was hailed as indicating Mc- Kigley’s hold upon the votes of the work- ing men, but it will undoubtedly benefit Bryan and Sewall, when the following facts become known: In a glowing description of the affair pub- lished in a local Republican organ is the announcement that the flag-ratsing was the voluntary action of the employes and the proprietors really knew nothing about it until everything had been completed and the flag hung to the breeze. Whether the proprietors were as greatly surprised as they claim to have been ts not known, but it is known that the action: of the men Was not voluntary. At least two of the employes ate each known to have had $1 deducted from their wages to help pay for the raising of the flag, notwithstanding they did not sanotion it, They claim there are many others in the factory in the same position whe de not dare make a public protest, for fear woul cost them their positions.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, BENTON. Mo., Oct. 24.—To-day has been silver day in Scott County. This morning the two clubs of Kelso formed in line and headed by their bands, started on parade through the county. On their arrival at New Hamburg they were addressed by Prof. Henry Wacker, after which they marched to Benton and were Joined by the New Hamburg Club and fs band, At Benton they were addressed by Judge O’Brian, and with the Benton Silver Club, proceeded to Commerce, where they took part in a grand torchlight procession. Hons, Marzhall Arnold and W. D .Vandiver addressed them. The crowd was 80 large that no bullding oould accommodate it, and the speakers ad- dressed the mass of humanity from Me veranda of the Anderson House. The en- thusiasm was heyond description, and many Republicans were in line, shouting for Bryan and silver. Quite a number of col- ored voters took part in the procession and the Commerce colored band also fell in line.

The men and packing house employes, freight handlers, yard switchmen and were invited to take part in the parade and wear a big yellow badge of servitude to their taskmasters, labeled “sound money. To decline was equivalent to «@ dismissal from their employment. The cold winter coming with helpless ones dependent upon them for support, together with the spectre of the terrible blacklist, influenced a majority of these men to turn out in the goldbug parade. The paraders marched sullenly, with the exception of the 2,000 colored troopers, a majority of whom were partially — and whose hoarse voices rent the air with yells for McKinley. Twenty bands, imported from the sur- rounding towns, were not sufficient to awaken any enthusiasm. There were no cheers, but the majority trudged along si- lently with*bowed heads and sullen features. Millionaire Armour himself marched at the head of his division.

After he had finished his ad- ress, he was followed by Vice-President Stevenson, who spoke for three minutes. an, among other things, said: Upon the issue of this campaign will de- nd the financial policy for at least four rs. We have an unique spectacle this year Mr. Br in American politics, We have had an administration carried on by a man elected by the Democrats of the United States and when the Democratic conven- tion met this year they refused to indorse the policy of the administration on the financial question. They in effect repudi- ated the policy of their own administra- tion, and declared in favor of a reversal of that policy, and then the Republican comes to the defense of a repudiated ocrat and they tell you that Grover was right and that Mr. McKin- ) continue his policy for four years That is what the Republican plat- ‘form says.

Reply to a Bishop Who Said They Had Too Much. MONMOUTH, In., Oot. 24.—After leaving Rock Island, there were short stops at Alpha and Alexis, and Mr. Bryan went to the rear of the car and acknowledged the reception given him in a few pleasant words. A sharp rebuke was administered to Bishop Worthington . at Monmouth by Mr. Bryan. The nominee replied to a statement made im an interview with the bishop, published in a Chicago paper. In the interview Bishop Worthing- ton said that thd trouble with the farmer’s boy was that he secured too many ad- vantages undér the free educational sys- tem. In his rejoinder, Mr. Bryan said in part: To talk about the over education of our farmers’ sons and to attribute the diffi- culties which surround us to-day to over- education is to my mind one of the most cruel things that a man ever uftered. The idea of saying that farmers’ sons, who are not able to rise in life, get a taste of educa- tion and then enjoy the taste so much that wer d follow it up and become disatisfied with the farm and drift into the cities.

Instead of attempting to prevent peo- ple realizing their condition, why don’t they try and improve the cond'tion of the farm- ers of this country?,*I cannot understand how a man living upon the farm can be deluded into the idea that the gold stand- . —— anything but misery and suffering The go'd standard has béen tried. It has been tried in this nation for twenty years and no party has declared that it is a good thing. The gold standard has. never been indorsed by the farmers of this nation; aye, more than that, the gold standard has never been indorsed by the farmers of any nation which has ever had the gold standard. It is only 9 that they held a convention away over in Buda-Pesth and that conven- tion of farmers sent greeting to the bi- metallists of the United States and expressed the hope that the United States would take the lead in restoring silver to its rightful place as money of the world. If the farmers of Europe can watch this struggle here and lift up their prayers for our success, how can a farmer in this coun- try join himself with those who want to bow to me dictation of fore gn nations and allow Wall street and Lombard street to run this nation for us? This financial ques- tion involves the welfare of our nation, it involves humanity, it invoſves civilization, because, mark my words, if the gold sta- d- ard goes on and people con‘inue to com- plain, the gold standard advocates, in- stead of pig | to improve the condition of the people, will be recommending that you close your schools, so that the peop'e will not realize how badly they are suffering. Is it not strange that there can be any- body in this country so far removed from the masses of the people as to think that the masses of the people are being well cared for? No, my friends, it ts not strange, it is as’ old as history. This difficulty is well known, for in all times and in all countries and under all corfditions those who are getting on well enough cannot feel for those who are suffering, and therefore the well-to-do never reform an evil or bring good from a bad condition. I appeal to you who heve felt the severity of a gold stand- ard to achieve your own relief, because you have the means in your power, and the Opportunity will be presented at the ballot box. , Large crowds greeted the candidate at Bushnell and Macomb and Camp Point. At the former place the crowd was so great that bodily injury was threatened Mr. Bry- an because of the great crush when he made his way from the platform to the car. The crowds at each place were enthusiastic and applauded the nominee liberally. AT QUINCY. Mr. Bryan Made Three Speeches to Large Crowds. _QUINCY, III., Oct. 24.—Three large en- thusiastic audiences were addressed in this city to-night by Wm. J. Bryan. There had been a meeting here in the afternoon of free silverites, and to-night the halls were swelled by excursionists from places forty miles around. At the Public Square Mr. Bryan addressed a crowd for twenty nutes. Hs speeches were received with noisy demonstrations of approval. And his argument, which he cla.ms to be the fundamental principle of the financial problem, ‘that in order to pro- duce higher prices for the products of the farmer and laborer, money should be made more plentiful, found ready response in the sympathies of his listeners. 3 There were two more speeches, one at | Washington Square and the other at the Empire Theater. At each meeting the candi- date spoke to large crowds. Immediately after the last speech, Mr. | Bryan took his car for Jacksonville. Mr. Bryan will spend the Sabbath in the town, where he attended college. Vice President Stevenson joined the Bryan party at Rock Island and accompanied it to Jacksonville. APPEAL TO WORKINGMEN. Mr. Bryan Urges Them to Vote as They Please. BUDA, III., Oct. 24.—Early this morning W. J. Bryan began his work. Before 8 o’clock he spoke at Ottawa and a good-sized crowd cheered his arraignment of the gold Democrats. His speech was devoted in the main to a general shaking up of the men who he said nominated a ticket in order to elect a Republican Ex-President Harrison and M. E. Ingalls, President of the Big Four Railroad Co., were given a few words of not too compli- mentary nature at La Salle, where Mr. Bryan spoke from a flat car from the rear of the train to a large crowd of enthusiastic admirers of himself and Gov. Altgeld. The action of the latter gentleman during the strike some three yearseago here and at Spring Valley made the miners there loyal supporters of him and the crowds at both places this morning showed demonstrative evidence of affection for the Governor and for the Pregidential nominee, | At La Salle, Mr. Bryan said, in part: Two distinguished men have called me to account because of advice which I gave the raiiroad employes. In speaking of the attempt of the railroads to coerce their em- ployes I said that in these hard times when employment is so difficult to find, I did not want to advise laboring men to do anything which would lose them their employment, and added that they should wear Republican buttons if necessary, march in Republican parades if they were commanded to do 80, and even contribute to the Republican cam- paign fund if that was required by their em- ployers, but that they should vote according to their convictions on election day. Mr. Ingalis the President of a railroad, in a speech at Cincinnati denounced me for advising employes to deceive their employ- ers, and ex-President Harrison has charged me with teaching immorality in giving the advice which I have quoted. Now, I desire to justify my position. The right to vote according to our conscience is a law-given right. Coercion is a violation of law, and when I advise employes to vote as they please. even though they must wear Repub- ican buttons and march in Republican pa- rades, I am taking higher moral grounds and giving more patriotic advice than those who countenance coercion and appeal to em- | Bloyes to vote the Republican ticket on election day merely because they have been compelled to wear Republican badges dur- ing the campaign.

Some gave 10 cents, others 25 cents, many 50 cents, many more $1, others sums rang- ing from 32 to $10. Few of the contributions were large. It was in every respect a popular fund. R.

Wanted to Put the McKinley Collar on (CE Louis) * Them and Then St. Louis [se Got the Trade. Gpecial to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Oct, 24.—Chicago is boycotted. Her business men are threatened with ruin. Her commercial supremacy is menaced. Her “tributaries” are in open revolt. The West has declared war against Chica- go. Chicago first declared war against the West, and, proud in her strength, expected tame submission. Chicago merchants—co- + erced by New York bankers—accepted the 1 dictum of gold monometallism, and in turn » ettempted to coerce tb customers—the 5 merchants and shop ‘turned. Coercion is a failure. Chicago co- » ercion has been answered by a boycott. > The West refuses at the command of ig- 4 nt Chicago business men“ to bow + @gown to the Wall street golden god. The loago drummer has carried out his in- ctions. He has told the Keokuk grocery aler that unless he abandoned the free a 4 a / “goncerned. There is no fall trade in Chicago. The _/Warerooms of the great wholesale houses ~fook like a schoo] room on a holiday. The trade of the coerced country dealer has deen divided between St. Louis, Indianap- lis, Cincinnati and other commercial cen- ters, where the press and banks conduct e presidential campaign on lines of common _@ecency and common sense. =~. Chi o is receiving the benefits of an object lesson. It is expensive, but it is genplan Her business men will know better next time. They will attend to their business and keep out of politics. They _ will not participate in partisan parades. hey will not issue circulars on the money - question addressed to people who know more on that subject in one minute than _ they will in a hundred years. They will '. @ivorce their banking business from their politics. They will let their emplByes vote as they please. They will not use the American flag for advertising purposes; or a national! election as an occasion to assert their political supremacy. The Chicago commercial travelers were subjected in broad tracts of the country to the mortification of seeing their trade captured by their competitors from St. Louls. St. Louis has merchants without gold muszles and a press which Hanna can neither purchase or catole, So the American who loves fair play indulges his unselfish sentiment and patronizes institu- tions not dominated by British money bugs. And that is why the Republican managers on Oct. 9 made the parade take a route shaped like a boomerang. RALLY DOWN IN EGYPT. Southern Illinois Turns Out 20,000 Strong to Shout for Free Silver..

On the contrary, he believes it would prolong the trouble and continue to keep our com- mercial affairs in an unsatisfactory con- dition.

Four thousand free silver Demo- crats listened to speeches from Senator Chas. E. Peers of Warren County, Hon. Sam Davis of Saline County and Han. C. D. Corum of Cooper County.

Prior to the demonetization of silver in 1873, Missouri was increasing rapidly as a manufacturing State. Tt has decreased steadily ever since. Its iron business has been almost com- pletely ruined It had one of the largest steel-working plants in the country, but under the trust system and the financial system which has drained the West it is now a-ruin, as are the minor plants which depended on it. If England is to control our money supply,. we will be as badly crippled in manufacturing as we are now in farming. Why should not Americans rule America? — oo —-? — T - WHY CHURCHES LIQUIDATE. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, who holds the mortgage on the New York Episcopal Chuach which went into bankruptcy the other day, is also a vestryman in the church. But business is business, and the church which does not make itself useful politically—as a number of mortgaged churches in New York are doing—is liable to be ‘forced into liquidation” as soon as it defaults. Incidentally Mr. Morgan is a director the Hanna campaign and of the Coal 4ast—which, as it is pertinently said im this same connection, “has not gone into bankruptcy.” That is neither here nor there, however, the question now being solely on church * mortgages. It is something new for a church to be “forced into liquidation,” but it is not likely to remain novel, Under the Wall Street and London system, all cash avail- able for business in New York is con- trolled by less than 1 per cent of the “ites population and the city is plas- all over with mortgages, They are two and three layers deep, and they churches as impartially as they do Dulldings and factories. ‘ell Sage is credited with making lalty of church mortgages, but it As credit that he has not foreclosed on any of them during this campaign. Perhaps he would, however, if the minis- ters should undertake to side with St. James or even to read from their pulpits what he says in his epistles about bond Speculators and the managers of Coal Trusts. ꝙ — — — 1 — THE CASTLE CASE.

Sev- enty-five persons, it is said, will, elther by deposition or oral testimony, declare that she has, on numerous occasions, been apprehended in the act of pilfering costly articles in the great shops of San Francisco.

It is impossible to add anything to the force of such facts by dwelling upon The American to whom a mere statement of them does not carry convic- tion of the grave danger the country is now in from plutocracy is beyond the Mr. Lloyd has found by studying hundreds of millions. * * * They are owners It rolls along un- They are in the combination in an- They are in the For other Americans who are still capable of forming a sane and patriotic judgment, the choice in this election is between government by the people and gov- ernment under the Standard Oil and Steel Trust system. Which shall it de? Will they stand with Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln? Or with Hanna, great majority of the Republican candi- dates for the Legislature are the candi- dates of that machine. We cannot expect that if the Filley legislative candidates are elected they will do anything to de- stroy the Filley machine now controlling the School Board. They may not openly antagonize any reform measure, but they ‘will kill them all with so-called amend- ments, and see that none of them get the support of a majority of the St. Louis delegation in the Legislature, or they may unite on a bill in one House with the assurance that it is to be killed in the other. The citizen of St. Louls who wants re- form in the School Board will vote against the Filley candidates for the Leg- islature. CHEATING THE WAGE-EARNERS. In St. Louis, in Chicago, in New York, im every other large city and town a great majority of employers who favor the gold standard have intimated to their clerks and other ‘employes that if Bryan is elect- ed and free silver prevails in the coming election their wages will be reduced, It is not an exaggeration to say that this form of coercion has been almost universal. Big corporation officials like Chauncey Depew and M. S. Ingalls have gone arouftd the country proclaiming this. Tons of cami- paign documents making the same dis- guised threat have been circulated by the railroad companies among their employes. Everywhere wage earners have been drafted into McKinley clubs, where the same threat is repeated to them week after week. Along with this threat of reduction in plied promise that if McKinley is elected wages will be advanced. . It is easy to apply a test that will show how much good faith there is in both the threat and the promise, Let em- ployes everywhere appoint a committee and send that committee to the company officials and other employers, asking for a written promise that if McKinley is elected wages will not be cut during a period of at least two years. Such a propositiom does not seem un- reasonable. Yet when it was made in last Friday, Mark Hanna fairly with ‘tndignation. He de- nounced it as sedition, as bribery, as an a t to stir up trouble between Cap- ita] and Labor, as a provocation to law- lessness. He issued an official circular in which all these charges were made. Is it possible that workingmen and can fail to see the plain case Bryan is elected has gone the im- wages is intended to follow McKinley’s election? Are they foolish enough to believe that, with a vast army of unem- ployed seeking employment on any terms, wages will be kept up while the p s of everything else go down lower and lower under the gold standard and the appreciating dollar? Carnegie and Mark Hanna have served notice upon wage-earners that a reduc- tion of wages will follow McKinley’s elec- tion; also that the Republican bosses and the great employers of labor know it and do not intend to have their plans de- feated. n ai. * — — While the School Board of Winnebago County, Iowa, is burning corn to save coal, people continue to drop dead from hunger on the streets of New York. And Mr. McKinley continues to rum for Presi- dent on the theory that there is an over- production of corn instead of an under- production of the money needed to move it to market. — In the office of the Chicago Record, the paper that is taking the McKinley poll, 82 printers are for Bryan and 6 are for McKinley. If the Democrats outside of the Record office had voted the figures of the Record's poll would doubtless have been equally encouraging. The protection of every voter in the secrecy of his ballot is assured. No man should be influenced by intimidators in any quarter. Never has the duty of voters been clearer than it is this Presidential year, and every man should be at the ballot box. The proposed “readjustment” of wages by Mr. Carnegie in January is a good tip or any workingman who supposes that gold is going to keep up wages. Mr. Carnegie is expecting the election of Mr, McKinley. If the hoodlum egg-throwing at Mr. Carlisle has the effect of inducing the Hessians who intended to vote for Palmer to vote for McKinley, it will make men of them instead of political sneaks. i, The American flag in Bryan's hands 18 no emblem of plunder.

On Jan. 1. 1896, the Post-Dispatch increased its price in the country from 1 cent to 2 cents. In spite of this cut in the price of its com- petitors and the increase of its own price outside the city, the circulation of the Post-Dispatch is much greater now than it was in October last year, while its city circulation hag increased nearly 25 per cent. The average total circulation of the Post-Dispatch for the five days end- ing, Friday, Oct. 23, was 3,422 copies more than for the corresponding period last year. The total city sales for the five days named were 7,974 copies per day more than for the same period of 1896. ——— — 5 great city such as is St. Louis must necessarily have a great advertising me- dium—one that reaches the home and Is read in the home.

No doubt many Kentuckians are ashamed of the Covington incident. Many others are ashamed of the lottery lawyer and the betrayer of his party. Abraham Lincoln was a tender-hearted man, but the hour came when he wished that the head of every devilish Wall street shark“ were shot off. “Boodle, Bluster and Bulldozing” are the three capital Bees Hanna has set to buzzing. But they are not genuine Pres- idential bees. a Bob Lewis thumps the prayer book and Bob Ingersoll thumps the Bible, but neither of these books has yet been knocked out. The Peoria hoodlums who hanged Mr. Bryan in effigy are deeply grieved because a Kentucky hoodlum threw an egg at Mr. Carlisle. In three years St. Louis lost $145,000 through a single Republican official, and no bondsmen have ever made up the loss. The Democrats do not have to talk loud this year, The returns will do the loud talking for them. MEN OF MARK. Joshua Levering, the Prohibition nominee for the Presidency, denies a statement re- cently made in the Rochester Times that he is not a total abstainer. Marshal Ney was once observed just prior to a desperate charge apostrophizing his trembling legs” and telling them that they would shake à great deal more if they only knew where he was going to take them. The last of the Southern ante-bellum Sen- ators is T. L. Clingman, who now lives in Asheville, N. C. He was Senator from North Carolina when the State seceded, but he kept his seat until the end of the special session after the inauguration of President Lincoln, Then he joined the Confederate army. M. Emile Zola, who is an expert bicyclist, is, according to a Parisian journal, so fond of the wheel that he has made up his mind to write a novel about it. The novel is to follow the book entitled “Paris.” The de- velopment of the cycling movement, in M. Zola's opinion, is destinéd to produce a race of vigorous young men and women. WOMEN OF NOTE. Mrs. Mary B. Greene, Pittsburg, Pa., re- cently passed an examination and received license to act as pilot. Dr. Mabel Spencer, Kansas City, is the first woman in the State to receive the appointment of county physician, Rev. Augusta Chapin, D. D., recently of Omaha, Neb., is said to be the only woman doctor of divinity in the world. She is a Unitarian, Lady Colin Campbell confesses to an in- tense interest in fencing, She has a theory that fencing equalizes the sexes much more than most sports.

Meyer Waibridge, hab a great head on His scheme of hiring probationary gu without pay un- til the expiration of the probationary period, is commend to the attention of Col. Hauessier aud the Civic Federation. Here its the keynote ot municipal retrenchment. By a judteious extension of this scheme to the various departments, most of the cost of municipal government could be saved. Col. Wagner's idea was to placate the army of politicians who insisted on their friends, the ward heelers, being recogutzed. It was a rotation in office scheme worked to the limit. The probationary snap enabled him to keep a stream of applicants passing through the jail, and made one job serve many times over. It 4id not work just the way he expected, it is true, because the fired men and their backers got sore, and the only devoted friends Butch had were those who were waiting their turns under the promise of jobs. But the probation scheme ts “out of sight“ if properly and generally applied. What's the matter with taking all the city officials for a probationary, non- salaried term and promptly firing them at its expiration to make room for a new crew? Here’s food for thought for the political economist. — Butch is pluming himself these days over his apparent victory over the Board of Charity Commissioners. The board+which is no longer a board since a majority of its members resigned—seems to be without power to act at this writing. It reminds one of Jéan Paul Richter’s proposition for a cast metal king, the one thing which moved the philosopher Teufelsdrock to laughter. If a cast metal king, why not a wooden board? Have we not had boards the members of which have been more dan- gerous than wooden men? The New York Tribune devotes a column to the residence “places” of St. Louis, Vandeventer, Westmoreland, Windsor and other of our exclusive residence no thar- oughfares. There are pictures of the most prominent of these, and the Tribune appar- ently plumes itself on the discovery that St. Louis has just started something new.“ New nothing! Vandeventer place has been in existence this score of years, and we are well used to our places,“ albeit we still “point with pride” to them, The trouble with the Tribune seems to be that it has taken it all this time to discover what is going on in the world, outside of its beloved New York—a trouble shared by the average New Yorker. The Tribune voices the narrow New York idea in its preface to the article, which reads as follows: „That nothing artistic of any particular consequence could ever come out of the West has long been an article of faith among thousands of people living nearer New Tork.“ The average New Yorker has an idea that nothing of consequence, artistic or other- wise, can possibly originate outside of the metropolis. Art Why, we have art to throw at the birds in the great Southwest, of which St. Louis is the center, But for this covert hit at our supposed lack of artistic perception, the Tribune makes partial amends by adding: „It is no exaggeration to say that the idea which they have taken tp and carried to an advanced state of development—the idea which is Illustrated by the accompanying pictures—is one of the best and most artistio which can be pointed out on this continent. Altogether, St. Louts is to be congratulated, and if she has more entrances than those shown in our illustrations, which are taken from a group of plates in the American Architect and Building News, then she 1s by that much more to be praised. For all that they mean of public spirit, of. an in- Clination to make not merely one house but the streets that hold the houses impos- ing and beautiful, these constructions are to be hailed as marking a red-letter day in the history of civic pride and artistic initiative in America, For this one deed alone St. Louis deserves to have its name writ high up in the roll call of American cities.”’ We are the people. A gentleman who rejoices in the name of William Chobenski and resides near Wilkes- barre, Pa., traded his wife for a pipe the other day. This is and is not a pipe story. Well, regarded as a companion, the pipe has advantages over the wife. The pipe does not talk back, it does not have cold feet, it does not want and insist on having a sealskin cloak every winter, and a new gown and hat every time the weather changes; it does not gabble at 5 o’clock teas, and it does not have a mother, Mr. Chob- enski is a true philosopher. The quality of wife has a great deal to do, however, with the question of whether a pipe is more to be desired. Mr. Chobenski’s late spouse ap- pears to have been less desired than the pipe of peace and tobacco. The very next day the purchaser wanted to “rue back,” and he finally sawed her off on another fellow for his pipe and $8 boot. Politics make queer bedfellows. Soon after the Breckinridge-Pollard episode, when the doughty Colonel decided to brave public opin.on and run for Congress, his own party organs turned against him and en- compassed his defeat. Among the loudest of his decriers was the godly Col. Richard Knott of the Louisville Post. The Post is a gold standard organ now, and the Colonel is arrayed on that side. Presto, change! The Colonel is again the “‘silver-tongued orator” in the columns of the Post, its readers arg urged to go early when the Colonel speaks and avoid the rush; they are promised the most brilliant oratorical effort of the campaign—and all extraneous reference to Madeline is tabooed. The Colo- nel is again persona grata. The idiot who makes absurd election bets is with us again this on“ year, as usual, and the fool-killer has apparently com- mitted suicide in despair of being able to do his duty. The fellow who engages to roll a peanut steen blocks, and he who vows never to shave or cut his hair in default of the success of his candidate, the fellow who agrees to wheel his political adversary | in a wheelbarrow, or be wheeled by him, ac- cording to how the election goes, all have become rank chestnuts. But out of the Northwest come the champion fool election bettors in the persons of C. N. Donaldson and Fred W. Burke of Milwaukee, both prominent in business and social circles. They made a wager in which it {s stip- ul that the loser shall promptly leave the United States and remain an exile from this land of the free for the rest of his natural life. It is difficult to see just where- Anne ili self forever, u tee ee te makes the United States ee ie! j 1 . a nun? The tuventtve genius of the the- atrical manager must have become ex- hausted on diamond robberies, accidents and halr-breadth ‘scapes; the sensational divorce and the scandal have apparently lost their drawing powers, and a new field ot tree advertising must be cultivated. And this ig new enough to be startling. Quite comedienne turning nun, the actress whose whole happiness in Ife lies in her public suc- cesses seeking the seclusion of the cloister, putting off tights and gay costumes to don the sober uniform of the recluse; abandon- ing the world of thoughtless galety and merriment, with birds and cold bottles on the side, for meditation and prayer—quite apart from all this in the average case of actress turning nun, the proposition is par- ticularly outre in Miss Bennett's case of all women, since it was she who established the startling innovation of carrying with her a male valet instead of the traditional lady’s maid to take care of her clothes and assist in certain parts of her toilet. Man- ager Price is not surprised. He says “she is such a whimsical creature, subject to sudden changes.” Well, Miss Bennett Its not to become a nun until the end of her season, and it is safe to bet she is as near to being a nun now as she ever will be. One of those sudden changes is pretty sure to strike her before the close of the season. Speaking of thé stage, it is amusing to note how some of the New York papers treated the advent of the Barrison sisters of malodorous fame. They were a frost and the papers all agreed to denounce their exhibl- tion as utterly vile and indecent, in an unanimous spasm of virtuous indignation. on the stage and the display of lingerie by her sisters was dwelt on at great length. Two metropolitan, papers each devoted a whole page to expressing indignation at the show—and then they described it in detail and added pictures showing in the most enticing manner just how the one Barrison girl undressed, and how her sisters dis- played their underwear. The oldest love letter has been discovered. It ts a proposal of marriage to an Egyptian Princess who died several thousands of years ago. It is in the form of an inscribed brick and was therefore calculated to knock the recipient silly if properly delivered. These long ago weighty love letters suggest new possibilities. If some old Rameses ever sent a. brick letter to another fellow’s wife, would he aud the inevitable postscript in such contraband literature, “Burn this?’ Again, if, as sometimes happens, the maid- en should treasure her love letters until after marriage, might they not be utilized as weapons of offense and defense in the post-nuptial domestic differences which sometimes happen in the best regulated fam- ilies? These considerations should be well weighed before we decide to reintroduce the brick style of correspondence, As detailed in the daily papers, one Cur- tis Cruse tried to shuffle off on Friday by shooting three large-sized leaden bullets into his head, in the vain hope of blowing his brains out. He succeeded in giving him- self a severe headache, and securing quart- ers at the City Hospital. The trouble with would-be suicides of the Cruse type seems to be that they are mistaken as to where their brains are located, Mrs. Elliott F. Shepard has discovered that Ward McAlister either overéalculated when he placéd the number of eligibles to New York “sassiety’’at 400,or else one-fourth haye died leaving no successors, Mrs. Shepard puts the number at only 300 and all others are barred. It will be remembered that the late Mr. Shepard’s distinguished father-in-law declared he was more differ- ent kinds of a fool than any man he had ever encountered, Is it possible that the theory is true that people very closely in touch for a term of years, such as husband and wife, who live in perfect harmony, as- similate both the mental and physical pe- culiarities of each other, and that its workings are here made manifest, — — The power of the newspaper para grapher ts mighty sometimes. A two-line squib has changed the lives of individuals and the destinies of nations, The humble, unob- trusive paragrapher is like the sower of the parable who went forth to sow seed. Some truly fall upon stony ground, others fall among thorns, but still others fall in frul® ful ground and bring forth fruit in abund- ance. The death of Judge Alexander Lald- law of Oakland, Cal., recalls one of the most notable instances of the power of the paragrapher. Many years ago Judge Laid: law fell into evil ways and disgraced the bench by his notorious bibulous escapades. One morning an editorial squib penned by a forgotten paragrapher appeared in à daily Paper, suggesting the incongruity of a judge fining plain drunks every morning when he should be in the dock for the same offense. That paragraph changed the whole after career of the Judge and made him @ respected and useful member of society. At the close of that day’s proceedings he or- dered the clerk to enter the name of Alex- ander Laidlaw on the docket and place the charge of drunkenness against it. Then he ordered him to enter a fine of $50 om & plea of guilty. He paid the fine and ac- quired fame all over the land as the Judge who fined himself. That was many years ago, when the Judge was a young man. The incident has been long forgotten, and outside of his native heath his career was unnoticed in relation to the episode. But it is.a fact that from that hour until the day of his death liquor never passed his lips again, * — — quent exhibition of the photographs, on the ground that in one of the series the Prince of Wales is represented scratching his royal head, The cinematoscoper has hastened to explain that “the movement referred to 18 simply a momentary placing of the hand to the ear, probably to brush away an in- trusive fly.“ Loyal subjects of the crown pwill now be able to sleep peacefully in their beds without being haunted by the horrid thought that the heir apparent could, under any circumstances whatever, de- ing his head. oo at the Fair Grounds yesterday was named for the Republican knew he had no more show to win than 1 ‘political | * 5 8 Johnstone Bennett has decided to become The act of one of the sisters in undressing apart from the usual incongruity of the N . — * 14 12 x ~ - a 5 Pkg ; . ters.

DIRECTORS CANNOT EVADE THIS Not Enough Breathing Space, Poor Ventilation and Unsanitary Plumbing in 75 Schools. Some time ago Health Commissioner Starkloff made a report to the Board of Health pointing out serious defects in the sanitary arrangements of the public schools of this city which he thought should be remedied immediately. This report came to the notice of the School Directors, who ridiculed it and said that Dr. Starkloff was seeking cheap noto- riety. As a result of the School Board taking this attitude the Health r —— examination 2 had a thorough re sed Francis and his force of inspectors. The outcome of this examination he has embodied in a report which he has for- warded directly to the School Board with a communication to the effect that the Board of Health means business right from the start. The report of the Commissioners to the Board is as follows: In this age of advanced sanitary science it is not necessary to cite any arguments to prove the importance of the most hygienic conditions for our schools. The school room is the common center towards which many of the streams of the diseases of the community tend and from which they Spread. The proper supervis'on of the physical as well as the intellectual development of the young is a sacred trust that is enjoined upon you as School Directors. The charter and ordinances of the city vest in the Jiealth Commissioner the general supervision over the public health of the city, and, in the line of my duty as such, I have caused an examination to be made of the school houses, Without following the slow legal method laid down in the laws governing the pro- ceedings in health questions, I will call our attention in detail, to conditions which believe should be remedied. The first and most important consideration bearing on the sanitary condition of schools is the matter of ventilation and heating. Ventilation involves two ideas—one, the Supply of fresh air, and the other, the re- moval of vitiated air. Rooms must have provisions for the exit of used air, and this outlet for foul air should be at least the Same size as the inlet for pure air. If rooms are not so supplied, then the at- mosphere is being charged with carbonic acid gas and the oxygen is consumed. Such air will be found laden with a pecu- liar animal vapor readily recognized by its odor; both carbonic acid and this vapor are noisome and cannot be inhaled with im- punity for a great length of time. Such air in school reems is sickening in the extreme; the effect produced upon the pu- sense of dullness, drowsiness, eadache and general tiredness of the whole system. ‘Where school-houses have been supplied with a ventilating system there should be m thorough examination of its workings; not only must openings be made for an inflow and outflow of air, but provisions must be made to have the air pass through these openings, and that in the right di- rection. Movements of the air of the school room generally depend on currents produced by the buoyancy of heated air in tall flues, ~d flues are only efficient when the inside ‘eavier or lighter than the outside, - oe ere is a current. j bane wine tne reports made of the ons of the ventilating systems in of the Schools, I believe that many Gm plans — be improved and that Spection of all 2 competent 1 should be made ation in cold weather by open doors 1 is always dangerous, creating ade * and no school-room should Ver In ventilation from those eel entilaxion where the heating is Ssechanical o water should be done by a im Rane pe ovement of the air. Ventila- it into th-.” heating pure air and sending beet. 2 room would appear to be the 2 authorities agree that each pupil 4 be supplied with 2,000 cubic feet of 1 nag a air per hour, and the minimum 7 ount of cubic feet of air space that should allowed each upil is 300 f providing the air i i — and this is changed constantly. The examination of the public schools dis- closes that a very dangerous condition ex- ts in many school-houses in the important matter of ventilation, and steps should be at once taken to remedy the defects. Many matters of minor consideration have been found that should be remedied. All will be iven in detail in the review of the condi- n of each school-house. Taking the examination in detail, I sub- mit the names of school-houses where I be- lieve cenditions exist that are unsanitary, and to these places I recommend you direct your officers to examine, with a view to correcting the defects. Simmons School for Colored Chi" tren—Air The only means — ventilation is by win- do is place should not bé for a sc ool. Shepard (Old School)—-Amount of cubic feet of air space to each pupil is but 146. Rooms heated “by stoves. Ventilation not good. Insufficient lavatory accommoda.- tons. Blow School (Old) —The amount of cubic feet of air space in this school is only 158 with 13 square feet of floor space for each pupil. The only ventilation is by the windows, and the rooms are heated by stoves, The closet facilities are very poor. awe * condition of this school-house s bad. : Blow Kindergarten—The cubic feet of air space to each pupil is only 171, with 13 square feet of floor space. No means of ventilation except- by windows. There are ventilators between the foundation and floor and the rooms on the first floor are very cold The sanitary conditions in this school-house are not good.

In one room is a kitchen sink; the trap is leaking. The vaults are in a filthy condition and are used in com- mon by the tenants of the other part of the building. The conditions are bad, and it is an unfit place for a school. Meramec, School (Old building)—There are 28 pupils in this school, The amount of cubic feet of air space for each pupil is much too low, being only 138 feet. The n system should be carefully ex- amined; it is questionable if it is good. With such a low amount of air space, there should be the most perfect system of bring- ing in fresh air and expelling the foul air. Compton School—There are 250 pupils in this school. The average cubic feet of air space to each pupil is 171. No means of ventilation except by the windows. The vaults are not in good order. The one used by the girls can only be flushed out when the hose is used. Near this school there are five sewer in- lets which are above the grade of the street and therefore receive no water. The smell from these inlets is very bad and is easily perceptible in the school house, and until the street is graded these inlets should be closed. Numbers of cases of diphtheria were among these pupils last year. The sanitary conditions of this school are very bad and should be at once corrected. If diphtheria again appears this winter in this school I will order it closed. Chouteau School—Theré are 870 pupils in this school. Eleven rooms with 806 pupils have an average of 155 cubic feet of air space, and the Kindergarden has 214 cubic feet of air space for each pupil. The air space in this school is very low.

The air space is very low and, considering other conditions, this school cannot be in a good sanitary condition. Carr Lane (Primary)—Average cubic feet of air space is 224. The halls and two rooms are heated by a furnace, and four rooms are heated by stoves. No means of ventilation except by windows. Vault accommodations are not sufficient. The two vaults in the yard are only three feet from the building. I consider the sani tary conditions of this school as bad. Hamilton School—The cubic feet of air space to each pupil is 236. The main build- ing had foul air shafts, but no means ex- cept by windows for the admission of fresh air. In the small building the rooms are heated by stoves and no means of ventilation except by the windows. Insuf- ficient vault accommodations. Sanitary conditions not good. Franklin School—Air space and floor space sufficient. Building is heated by fur- naces. The furnace used for heating the halls has not any fresh air duct. Rooms on the first floor have no means of ven- tilation except by the windows, and the at- mosphere in these rooms is bad. The rooms on the second and third floors have shafts for the exit of foul air, but they do not appear to be in good working order, and there are no means of obtaining fresh air except by the windows. The closet accom- modations are of the Latrine system and inadequate. There is no ventilation and the air is bad. The sanitary conditions of this school are not good.

The closet accommodations are inadequate. Attucks School—The number of pupils 1s 236. The average cubic feet of air space for each pupil is only 48, with 4 square feet of fioor space. There is no ventilation, very bad light, in fact one room has not any windows; the vaults are filthy, cellar damp and in bad condition. This place is totally unfit for school purposes. Peabody School—There are 1,060 pupils in this school. The average amount of cubic feet of air space is 236, with 13 square feet of floor space. The rooms are crowded. The ventilation system here should be watched. Carroll School—Number of pupils 1,100. The average cubic feet of air space to each pupil is 257. The only means of ventila- tion is by windows. Under these conditions the sanitary con- dition is not good, and steps should be taken to provide proper ventilation. The following schools have apparently good methods for ventilation and heating, but as the amount ef cubic feet of air space is low I would recommend a careful exam- ination of the systems in each schoo] house: Arlington, Bates, Cote Brilliante, Divoll, Dodier, Elleardsville, Harrison, Irving, Lovell, Riddick and Webster (new). In the following school-houses the amount of cubic feet of air space is fair, but much depends on the condition and workings of the ventilators: Carondelet School, Gar- fleld School (new building), Grant School, Garfield Kindergarten, Froebel School. In this report I have endeavored to point out where defects exist in the different school-houses in relation to their sani- tary condition, and I request that a careful examination be made of all these schools and that steps be taken at once to place 1 in the best possible hygienic condi- tion.

BECAUSE FEDE ORDERED AN INVESTIGATION. Trouble Caused by the Publication of an Indictment Before It Was Re- turned by the Jury. There was an impressive scene in the United States District Court when the Fed- eral Grand Jury submitted its report yester- day afternoon. Some signetures had been omitted from a few of the indictments and Judge Elmer B. Adams sent the jury back to remedy the defects. While the jury was out some one handed the Judge a clipping from an afternoon paper containing a draft of the Grand Jury’s report. e article had been printed —— before the report was handed to the ourt. When the jury returned, Judge Adams D seemed to be in a very bad humor. called District Attorney Clopton before nag “Mr. Clopton.“ said the Judge, been informed that an afternoon paper, don't know which one, has published a list of these indictments. Such a publication in advance of the jury’s report is a grievous fault. “If any Grand Juror or any officer of the court hat been guilty of giving out this information he should be severely punished. True discharge of duty requires that every- thing done i: the jury room must be kept secret. If I could get information in a legal way I would certainly have the offenders punished as they deserve.“ Here Attorney Clopton interposed, saying: “Your Honor, I assure you I will exhaust the possibilities of the law in bringing the matter before the court.“ “It vas an extremely presumptuous pro- ceeding, both on the part of the reporter, and on the part of the newspaper,” said the Judge. People with sense enough to run a news- paper ought to understand their duty bet- ter than to do anything of this kind. In- form me, Mr. Clopton, as to the name of the paper, the name of the reporter and the name of the person who gave out the in- formati..n.”’ Turning to the jury, Judge Adams said: “Gentlemen, I cannot believe that one of you had any part in this disgraceful pro- ceeding. If any man among you had a hand in this, he has committed a grievous wrong. Apart from what I have said I wish to thank you for the zealous manner in which you have performed your duty.

Abernathy Came to Leave Republicanism. At a recent meeting of one of the Twen- tieth ward Democratic clubs James R. Abernathy, a life long Republican, living at 4818 North Market street, delivered an address which was enthusiastically received by the large crowd present. He told why he had left the Republican party and had decided to cast his vote for William Jen- nings Bryan. In 1893, Mr. Abernathy, while a member of a Republican League club, made an ad- dress in which he proposed McKinley for President in 1896. Mr. Abernathy then be- lieved that McKinley was a friend of bimet- allism. He had read his utterances and be- lieved him just the man for the silver Re- publicans. He wrote to McKinley at that time and received a nicely written letter from the Canton; Major thanking him for his kindly wishes. This letter is still in Mr. Abernathy’s ssession. He remained a; McKinley ‘man until the St. Louis convention was held and a gold standard ratic inf forced on McKinley by the plutocratic influences of the East. When the Canton Sphynx accepted the nomina- tion on such a platform after having ad- vocated silver, Mr. Abernathy ceased to be a McKinley man.

Dr. Greene's ‘Nervura. : Those . in Take Renewed Hope an 8 yr. Greene’s Nervura Blood and restorer of health the world has ever Medicine, Dr. Men of highest prominence in this coun- | try, like Lieut.-Gov: Thomas of Vermont (Montpelier, Vt.), Congressman Andrew Williams of Plattsburg, N. Y.; Senator Geo. W. Randall of Waterbury, Vt.; ex- Speaker of House of Representatives Chas. J. Noyes of Boston, Mass.; Hon. Henry Robinson, Mayor of Concord, N. H.; Judge Edwin C. White of Hyde Park, Vt.: Secretary of the Senate, Hon. Fred- erick W. Baldwin of Barton, Vt., and many other prominent public men throughout the United States are using, indorsing and publicly recommending the people to use this most wonderful med- ical discovery of the age, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Representative women of our land also are enthusiastic in praise of its marvelous power to cure, among them being Vice- Pres. of the Massachusetts Total Absti- nence Society, Mrs. S. Louise Barton of Boston,. Mass., who was cured by this grand medicine. Now comes a letter from one of the most widely known women of America, Are Weak, Tired, Nervous, Out of He 2 d Be Cured by Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, who is loved and honored by everybody, and who thus speaks to the people out of her deep re- gard for humanity and her earnest desire to see the weak, tired, feeble, nervous and suffering restored again to health and strength. She has personally witnessed the really wonderful effects of Dr. Greene’s Nervura in curing several of her friends, and for the good of others, for those who are out of health, she writes to the people what she knows and has herself witnessed of the remarkable beneficial and health-giv- ing effects of Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Mrs. Beecher says: “I have given some of Dr. Greene’s Nervura to several friends who I thought would be benefited by it. They speak highly of it, and feel they have been much benefited by its use. “These people are very responsible wit- nesses as to the beneficial character of the medicine, and I am ready to vouch for the honesty of their approval of Dr. Greene's Nervura. ; “If needed in my own case, I certainly should use it.” Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy is the best medicine and surest ANNIE NEWLAND HAS LEFT TOWN, SOLD OUT HER PLACE AND QUI- ETLY DISAPPEARED. MARRIED MAN WENT WITH HER. The Notorious Midwife Left a Number of Unfortunate Clients in the Lurch. ‘Annie Newland, the midwife, who has had more than her share of notoriety, has shaken the dust of St. Louis from her feet She slipped out of town quietly a few days ago. With her went William Bush- nell, a big, heavy-set fellow, who has been her constant companion for a year past, The celerity and secrecy of their going may be due to the fact that both are said to have matrimonial side partners, who might possibly make their relations a mat- ter for legal interference. Mrs. Court, who moved into the New- land woman’s house after her departure, says that Annie had other reasons for go- ing in a hurry. She claims that her peace of mind has been disturbed by an everlasting string of her predecessor’s clients, who try to raise the roof when they learn Miss Newland has left town without leaving word about what she purposed doing for the money they had paid her. Mrs. Court is a midwife herself. She used to live in the rear of 103 South Fourteenth street. She thought she would fall heir to Mrs. Newland’s business by moving into her place and she got a month’s rent free by the operation by courtesy of the former occupant, She tells a queer story of the Newland woman’s departure. Two weeks ago, she says, the tip was quietly passed around that Mrs. Newland was going to sell out. McCann, the auc- tioneer, was engaged and he cried the household goods to an assemblage of mid- wives and women of the town. No red flag was hung out and the auc- tion was not advertised. The attendants took advantage of the forced sale and got everything at a sacri- fice. For instance, a physic.an at a local obstetrical college secured a rug for $4.50 shat had been purchased a month previous or 6 On the evening of the sale Miss Newland and Bushnell went to Union Station and took the train for Denver. Bushnell told Mrs. Court that he feared he might be arrested at Union Station. Among her neighbors Miss Newland gave out the impression that she was going to oin her father in California. Those who new the old gentleman—he was in the same line of business as his daughter—were surprised, because they knew the pair had never jogged along well together. But she insisted that she was down on her luck. She hadn’t had a customer since moving into her new place at 205 South Fourteenth street. She was going to cut the town and take Will out to live with her at her father’s place in Los Angeles. This is only a gentle evasion, as the pair are said to be in Denver. Mrs. Court has been contradicting Miss Newland’s statement about a lack of cus- tomers. The day after Mrs. Newland and her Will skipped out, she says a girl came to the — 1 and claimed she had paid Miss New- land $250 to get her out of her trouble. Within the next few days there were wo- men callers, one claiming she paid $150, an- other $100. A farmer came with his daughter and said he had advanced $25. He was to call to get the medicine. ‘ There were half a dozen others who had paid $10 or 315. Two days before Miss Newland departed she ran over to Jake Maurer’s butcher shop at Fourteenth and Market streets and asked Jake to lend her $200 in a hurry. Jake FREE TO EVERY MAN.

Although Annie Newland has never pub- licly acknowledged her marriage she is said to have a husband living in Oklahoma. Her sister Sophie, now in Decatur, IIL, first told the story on her, and Mrs. Court says she saw the marriage license. It is not known whether there ever was a divorce. Bushnell, though, is a married man and has a family living somewhere in Ohio. He was formerly a Pullman car conductor and later worked here for Girardi, the hotel man. He is a six-footer, and broad in propor- tion. As his inamorata was almost the same size, their appearance in public al- ways attracted attention. Miss Newland’s last appearance in print was in connection with her attempt to help a West End woman palm off a baby on her husband. Miss Newland procured the baby, but the woman, to screw up her courage, got drunk when she called for it. While Mrs. Newland and Bushnell were taking the woman and the baby home in a hack, she grew hysterical and the entire outfit was arrested. CHARGED WITH FRAUD.

Saturday afternoon two Httie girls, quite well dressed, each one carrying a purse, en- tered Nugent’s store at Broadway and Washington avenue. Bach wore a dress that came barely below. the knees and one wore her hair braide down the back while the other’s locks were cut short and the curls hung loosely about her shoulders. Both had capes and to all appearances they were the daughters of respectable families fn moderate circumstances. As they entered Nugents’ they were met at the door by C.

One Fatal Error Dashed Him From the Height of Political Success to Absolute Ruin. This is the story of the passing of à politi- cal boss. It is a story of the end of 25 years of constant wire pulling, political manipulat- ing in the endeavor to establish undisputed right to the title of “‘boss’’ in Missouri. It is in rough outline, the story of the sensation of the Republican campaign in Missouri—the downfall of Chauncey I, Fil- ley. : For the “Sage of Beaumont Street,” the “Man With the Iron Mountain Hat’’—the grizzled gray wolf of the Mosque—is no longer the Republican boss of the State, Tossing restlessly on a sick bed in his home on Beaumont street is the once un- disputed leader. He is nursing a dislocated knee cap—the result of an accident while driving—and contemplating in the glowing red coals of his grate the rack and ruin of his political air castle. Just as he had finished its building—after 20 years of toiling and scheming—and was resting firm in the conviction that tts foun- dation ¢timbers would neither bend nor break, the storm came, and the house fell about his ears. The agent of destruction was Mark Hanna —the man with the greasy palm and the fron heel—and he blotted Mr. Filley off the political map. Politically, from this time henceforth, the old-time boss“ of Missouri is a reminis- cence. His ringing war cry of other campaigns, We've got em!“ will no longer rally sup- porters around his standard. Mark Hanna, the “new boss,” with the dollar mark of boodle branded on his fat, red face, decreed his downfall and the shadow of the ob- livion to come is already athwart his vision. — — The storm clouds have been gathering over Mr. Filley’s head for some time. At first they were not larger than the brim of one of his famous hats. But, like the little — they grew and grew—and when, they roke last Thursday, they shattered the dreams and ambitions of a lifetime. When Mark Hanna peremptorily took the direction of the campaign in Missouri out of Chairman Filley’s control and named the five millionatres—Charles Parsons. William Nichols, C. Mansur, Edwards Whitaker and William H. Thompson—as directors-general and fund distributors, he signed the polit- ical death warrant of the man who for twenty years has been proudly called by his followers ‘‘de boss.“ Marcus Aurelius Hanna knew that was what it meant; so did Col. R. C. Kerens; and so did Maj. Wm. Warner; likewise Chauncey I. Filley. But the rank and file which for so lon have followed Mr. Filley’s call and obey his nod and beck implicitly remain still in ignorance of the ‘extent of the disaster which has overtaken him. They pretend to believe that he will yet get the better of his party enemies and that his former prestige will be regained. The cards are not stacked to run that way. Mark Hanna, the relentless, is the dealer. And he has resolved that no card higher than the two-spot shall ever fall in Mr. Filley’s hand. The story of the downfall of the former boss, just at the time when he thought he saw victory ahead and could see in pleas- CHAUNCEY IVES FILLEY. ing prospect realization of his dreams of political power, can be briefly told. He pitted his strength and talents against the unlimited resources of this fat-faced boss from Cleveland—and Mark Hanna, with one hand behind his back, threw him in the air. a The beginning of the end was four years 1 in the Republican National Convention at Minneapolis. There Maj. Warner, Wells Blodgett and John L. Bittinger—three sturdy silk stock- SR ge ae lley napping and they put Richard C. Kerens in his place as Na- tional Committeeman for Missouri. In that convention F.lley espoused the cause of James G. Blaine. And when the white plume of the man from Maine was trailed in the dust by the victorious Har- risonites, Filley was caught in the lurch. For sixteen years he has been Republican National Committeeman for Missouri. His reign hod been turbulent and noisy, but ad held complete sway. The patronage of the State had been dispersed by ‘him; he had voted the Re- publican delegates from Missouri in Na- tional Conventions as he saw fit. When- ever the strong minority which always opposed him became too turbulent, he took a meat ax or any old political weapon that was hgndy and hammered them into sub- misston: the State machine was in his hands—he was boss of Missouri. After Warner, Blodgett “and Bittinger succeeded in ousting him, he came back to’ Missouri and began planni for 96. With tireless energy he worked, laying wires, waiting for the four years to around so that he could down Kerens regain his old place on the Republican Nationa] Committee, Keep.ng always in view the chief aim of his life—to roll Kerens and revenge him- self on his ancient enemies—so that he could once more pose as a national leader with the backing of his party in the State, Mr. Tu about getting control of the State machinery.

Filley’s head rolled into Mark Hanna’s waste basket be- 4 fore the Filleyites had time to realize his danger. It is the first time in the political history of the State that the Chairman of a Na- tional Committee—Republican or Demo- cratic—has arbitrarily taken the State campaign out of the hands of the man 2 by the State Committee to ! the ght. And not even Chauncey I. Fille can sur- vive such a turning down. He is a “dead duck” politically on the national stage and in State politics the triumphant silks are even now exulting over his downfall. | Some of them have waited twenty years to hear the news. It’s been a long time in coming. Now that Hanna has turned the trick which they were unable to accom- plish, they are lauding his oleaginous per- sonality to the skies. The fall was hard and the distance great. Twenty years ago Chaunvey I. Filley re- tired from business. He had tasted the sweets of political prestige and determined to- make a life work of his ambition to be- come a shining light in the political firma- ment; a Big Injun’’ around the camp- fires of his party and in the councils of its sachems. For quite that many years politics has been his business, his bread winner, his di- version. Year in, year out, he has fed upon the hope that the goal would be reached; that from the proud position of a seat in the Senate of the United States of America, he could shake his girdle of scalp-locks before his proud followers in the galleries and say: “Mr. President, We've got em!“ That will never come to pass. The fruit was Dead Sea fruit. Mark Hanna has him on his black list.“ He can never again get employment as a political prophet, After nearly a quarter of a century's work for position, for prestige, for recogni- tion as a political leader, Mr. Filley makes one fatal mistake and slips back at once lower than he was when he began climbing up the ladder. He is as gray as a Norway rat and as cunning. But he made the mistake of op- posing the impertous Mark Hanna. It won't be long now before the worship- pers at the mosque will pick up their prayer mats and move on. There is no sycophant so quick to change as the pol tical time server. Mr. Filley’s goose is cooked and he stands now without power or influence in the State. The Filleyites of a week ago are making moon eyes at Diek“ Kerens. Be san follows the passing of Chauncey I. ey. KNEW IT WAS COMING. Thomas Miles Took No Chances With His Murderous Idiosyncrasy. Thomas Miles is a gentleman of much dis- cretion and discernment, even if he is fre- quently overtaken by attacks of melan- cholia with a murderous tinge to it. Miles lives at 1919 Wright street with his wife and daughter. Yesterday afternoon he felt an attack of murderous melancholia coming on him. He knew the symptoms well, as he had felt them before, so he called to his daughter and en oined her to hasten to the wood shed and get a rope with which to bind him hand and foot so that when the attack did come in full force he would be unable to yield to his mur- derous impulse. The daughter was frightened at the seri- ous view that her father took of the sit- uation, so she bundled him into a hack and carried him post haste to the Dispensary, where he told his story to Dr. Lippe, re- questing him to put handcuffs on his wrists and save him from becoming a murderer against his will. Dr. Lippe gave him a soothing draught and calmed him down enough to go quietly to the City Hospital for observation. e SHE WAS IN EARNEST. A Free Silver Negress Stabs a Colored McKinley Shouter. Jefferson Woods, a colored citizen of 88 with a leaning toward political onatory, has had a second opening cut in his face, which, instead of enlarging his oratorical possibilities, will probably put a etop to it for some time to come. Jeff was hanging around Twelfth and Poplar streets, talking politics, when Georgie Minor, a colored maiden, entered into the argumen*® She made a general proposition that if McKinley were elected there would be war, while the elction of Bryan would cause the land to flow with milk and honey.

Aron Win MARES SOME REVELATIONS. HE DIVIDED HIS SALARY. The Deeper the School Board Investi- gation Goes the Blacker Grows the Output. The use of money in the appointment of a public school janitor, an alleged attempt at subornation of perjury, and several other matters. equally interesting, were testified to by John McNeil, colored, at the resump- tion of the School Board investigation yes- terday. The depositions in the litigation over the Peck-Williamson heating contract were temporarily discontinued by Lawyers Alder- son and McEntire several weeks ago. The impression prevailed that the lawyers Were at their rope’s end in their efforts as repre- sentatives of the Civic Federation, to se- cure a reformation of the Board, The testi- mony of McNeil was therefore totally un- expected, His testimony involved Robert J. Car- roll, the Nineteenth Ward politician who recently made the boast on the stand in these same proceedings that he had se- cured three men jobs as janitors and nu- merous other jobs at r@air work in schools, put insisted that he had never re- ceived ahy pecuniary reward. McNeil testified that he paid $4 to Car- roll for securing him the position of jan- itor at the L’Ouverture (colored) School from which he was subsequently dis- charged. He also swore that ai a meeting between himself and Carroll, arranged by School Director Charles G. Penny, Car- roll tried to instruct him as to the testi- mony he should give m the event he was + summoned as a witness in the pending proceedings. Mr. Penny could not be found at his drug store, enty-first and Market streets, to reply to Mr. cNeil’s deposition. His clerks stated that he was ont of the city. Carroll made reply at length to McNeil’s charges when seen at the office of the Board of Election Commissioners, where he is em- ployed. McNeil stated at the outset that he was appointed janitor at L’Ouverture School June 15 and was discharged Oct. 15. Asked by Lawyer McEntire how he se- cured the appointment, he replied: “I was working for Col. Ed Butler's coachman, Ben Harrison, a colored man,” replied McNeil, and he said he thought he could get a job for me before long. About three weeks afterward, Mr. Bob Carroll asked me one Sunday how I’d like to be janitor of a school. After that Harrison got my application signed, and a while later I got notice that I was appointed. Philip Turner was there before me.“ * Carroll said anything to you about He never said much until after I was appointed. The first money I drew was $48.50. My regular salary was $97 a month, That was my summer salary. Carroll met me on Jefferson avenue and demanded 325. I refused to give it to him, but he was con- tinually after me until September. Before August he got awful sore and asked me if I was trying to make a monkey out of him. I said no and he made me sign a paper. He tore it up after he got the money. It was a promise to pay $0 a month as assistant janitor, I had no assistant then. That was out of my August salary. I owed John P. Collins $18 and when I went for my money Mr. Otto Zelle told me he had orders not to pay me. Mr. Carroll came with me and was down stairs. He went up by himself and then came after me. He had a bill against me to collect for Mr. Penny, too. He told me to indorse the check and he would meet me at Mr. Penny’s and give me the money. At 5:30 I met him at Mr. Penny’s drug store. Carroll had a re- ceipted bill from Collins. So Carroll kept $40 for himself, pad $10 on Mr. Penny's bill and gave me $29. He said I owed him the money because he got-me the job.“ „Was that all?“ “After Carroll got the $40, there was a man working for me I couldn’t pay, and I sent him down to Mr. Carroll to give him a talk. I also owed Mr. Cook of Ohio and Chouteau avenues $10, and I sent to Mr. Carroll about that. He stood good for it. Afterward he told me that the next man who came to him with a bill, down the slide I’d go, and if I hired any more buggies from Mr. Collins I’d get fired.” “How was it you were discharged?” „He told me not to hire anybody, to let Mr. Penny do the hiring. I paid no atten- tion, because the head janitor always has a right to hire his assistant. A day or two before September 15, Mr. Penny sent for me and said he was going to send a man over for me to put to work and for me to give him $40. I told him I couldn't, but he said it was fixed and I'd have to. William Digg told me it would be best for me to put this man to work, so I did it. Then Mr. Penny told me that complaints were coming in about my visiting a certain house and I'd better resign and become assistant under the other man, at $40 a month. I wrote a letter next day refusing. After that he was gore at me and I was fired.” “Did you have any conversation with Bob Carroll after he had testified in th® office?“ „es, I forgot that. I was over at the building. They sent for me on Saturday morning. Mr. Penny sent his brother after me, and he informed me that Mr. Penny desired to see me at once. I went to see Mr. Penny and he sent me down to Mr. Carroll.” “Where was Carroll?“ “At the Recorder’s office on Chestnut street, between Tenth and Eleventh.”’ „he Election Commissioner’s office?“ “Yes, sir. I went down to see Carroll. He said to me: ‘Did u see that piece in the paper?’ I said: Tes, some parties called my attention to it.’ He said: They are lia- ble to send you down to the Security Build- ing,’ and he said: In case they do’—I think that was the building, at any rate some- where he'd been—he sald: In cage they do send for you and ask be if you gave any- body any money, tell them you through Ed Butler’s coachman, and ask you how much you got, say he was a oe worker and that John F.

Then Mr. McEntire read enother bill dated Sept. 30, for $26.45, for “Merchandise to date.“ It was indorsed “Paid—C. G.

He did not use the extracts of frangipanni and white rose. “I bought the things from Mr. Penny.“ he explained, because I understood my ap- pointment was due to him, and one good turn deserved another.“ McNeil stated on cross-examination by Lawyer I. C. Terry, representing the School Board, that he was asked by a detective named Hogan what he knew about School Board methods and finally told him all he knew. So far as he knew his transactions at Penny’s drug store were regular. He gave some presents to the woman he was boarding with. Otto lie, clerk in Secretary Player’s office, testified to having seen Carroll in Mr. Player’s office, and that Carroll talked with Mr. Player about the orders against McNeil’s salary. Robert J. Carroll made the following statement to a Post-Dispatch reporter about McNeil’s charges: “That fellow’s statements are altogether false. If I was getting $40 a month from him, 1 think I'd have made some effort to have retained him in his position. I never received a cent from him. “I thought he was a pretty good fellow, and I told him if he could compromise with the men he owed money to, to send = y to me and I'd settle with them for m. “I at no time said anything to him about what he was to testify to. Mr. Penny never sent him down here. He came here on the 15th or 16th of the month and I cursed him and asked him what he was do around here.

Estimate of the Gain Over Prices on Sept. 1. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 244.—The Seo- retary of Agriculture to-day issued the fol- lowing: is After a careful canvass of the situation the most conservative estimate of the amount received by the farmers for their wheat up to the Ast inst., when wheat reached its highest point, is $28,683,000 over and above what they would have received, at the prices ruling September 1. According to the most reliable advices and the experience of authorities enjoying s cial advantages for forming sound opin- ions, not less than & per cent of this year’s crop is still in the farmers’ hands. In view of the uncertainty in the market it is difficult to estimate on the amount that will be received by producers for that portion of the crop still in their hands, but on the basis of r prices, there would be a further gain of nearly $30,000,000 over the value ruling price of wheat Special to the Post-Dispatch, NASHVILLE, III., Oct. 24—The Weman’s Relief Corps of the Eighteenth Illinois Dis- trict was held here to-day.

As the spokesman put it in addressing Mr. I: We have come to celebrate the an- miversary of the most unpleasant event in your life by tendering you a surprise party.“ Mr. Hill wept on one side of his face and wiped the tears away with his remaining hand and his callers were happy in the consciousness that they had done a very graceful act.

EGGERS, REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR CIRCUIT ATTORNEY. IS A TOOL OF WARD HEELERS. Judge Peabody Had the ‘Young Man Ejected From Court for Playing Into the Hands of Bondsmen. Four years of Billy Zachritz in the respon- sible office of Circuit Attorney has been the worst affliction put upon St. Louis since the cholera epidemic, but the Republican ward heelers are seeking to inflict a greater punishment by nominating a man to succeed him who has all of Zachritz’ faults, besides being notoriously incompetent. The Post-Dispatch has shown what man- ner of man is the present Circuit Attorney . and his methods of securing political popu- larity. But bad as Zachritz is, he has some ability as a lawyer, and when his talents are not stifled by political influence he is capable of making a good fight against the criminal classes. ꝓheodore C. Eggers, Republican candidate for Circuit Attorney in this campaign, has 1 Shoe C0. not even this claim to distinction. His only qualification for public office is his willing- ness to be a tool in the hands of designing men, Eggers is not particularly bad. Surround- ed by other influences he might have been a shining light in the T. M. C. A. instead of the chum of shyster lawyers and profes- sional Police Court bondsmen. He is merely a simple chap, so good-na- tured and accommodating that he will do almost anything that anybody tells him, Eggers has never demonstrated his abil- ity to do anything but sit around and gig- gle and industriously enter nolle prosses on the Police Court docket at the r uest of a select coterie of grafters whose living depends on their pull. With the interests of the people in such hands as his the Crimi- nal Court would become à howling farce comedy from 10a. m. to & p. m. daily. Eggers is 29 years old and was admitted to six years ago. hg over heard of him until Harry Clover picked him up. Clover had been appointed City Attorney, to practice in the First District Police Court, vice Col. Jim Butler, removed by Mayor Walbridge for taking a shot“ at Red Leary. Clover fired Pierce Keating, Butler’s clerk, and put Egs- his place. “Phen the young man became inoculated with great aspirations and forthwith turned olitician. " Eggers took to politics, of the Four Courts kind, like a duck to water.

He showed a disposition to mark the letters N. P. after so many cases on the docket that when he got through with it, it had the appearance of the topy book of some schoolboy whose teacher was de- termined he should learn to properly write the letters N. and P. A good deal of this sort of thing can go on in the Four Courts without causing com- ment. It has been part of the me there for years, but even the First District Po- lice Court has its limits. Judge Peabody wanted an occasional op- rtunity to exercise his judicial functions, ut under Eggers’ masterly nolle prossing hand he found Himself getting badly out of practice. sey caught this raw recruit in practical | ons day Judge Peabod ody called a halt and with such a roar that it blew the free- handed young dispenser of improved justice out of the court-room.* He has not ap- peared there since in the capacity of an at- torney. He is merely Harry Clover’s clerk again. °° | Judge Peabody has ever since refused to allow young Eggers to handle the docket. He disbarred’ him, so that the present can- didate fer Circuit Attorney has the dis- ‘tinguished honor of béing the only lawyer in St. Louis, with the exception of Jeff Storts, n a —— * to the penſtentiary for grand larceny, who can- not Practice in the First District Police Court. f ae | "The Hon. ‘William McNamara, the Hon.

In the expressive language of Mr. Chames Fadden, “he hits de limit.“ The stene which resulted in Eggers’ exit from the Polite Court as a prosecutor had about it many of the characteristics which commend him to the man who loves to laugh. * Eggers inststed on nolle prossing the cases of canning and resisting an officer against Jacob.and Albert Rampey and John Breen. The Judge insisted on hearing the evidence. Eggers absolutely would not have it Mat way. He even refused to sit down when requested to do so by the court. In consequence, the magistrate was obliged to order a deputy marshal to throw him out. The. dignified young barrister clung to the ra‘ling and “hollered murder.“ | To avoid a continuance of the disgraceful, 'yet ludicrous scene, Judge Peabody ad- journed court until the next day, having found that he could not get Clover to take charge of the docket. Eggers’ record in the Police Court got him the nomination for Circuit Attorney. He had shown himself all right with the | boys. Every Four Courts plugger and 'grafter was for him. There would be no danger of bond forfeitures if he were run- ning things for the State in the Criminal Court. Republican offenders along the lines of 1 would have a cinch in get- ting off, What if he was incompetent? So much the better. Good lawyers could the more easily secure the discharge of clients whom even Eggers would not dare to release by the process of nolle prosequl. Eggers is simply another man foisted upon the ticket by the hoodlum element in the Republican party. He was nominated with the full knowledge that he must run against Lee Meriwether. GILBERT'S SIDE OF IT. Although Fined He Protests His In- nocence of Any Assault. Charles L. Gilbert, who was fined $50 in the Policé Court Wednesday, says he was never fined before that time, as has been stated. Gilbert, who is employed at the Baptist Hospital, says he did not commit the assault for which he was fined. The complainants were Mrs. Sadie Weis- ler, 108 South Fourteenth street, and Dora Daarst, who rooms there. Gilbert gays he met Mrs. Weisler on the street and she told him a hard luck story. He paid $12 to t her goods out of storage and also paid 505 for a month’s rent for her. Wednes- day night he called on Mrs. Weisler. Dora Daarst’s lover was there, he says, and was angered at Gilbert’s presence. Dora's lover chased Gilbert off with a hatchet. Gilbert says he did not strike either of the women.

te pee * * — ee FLAT AND TAME, A LONG: RACING SEASON HAS SLIPPED INTO THE PAST. SIX SCRUB RACES ON THE CARD. One Long Shot Put Over the Plate— A Small and Tired Crowd Stayed to the End. The lonesome bugle has tooted its last “boots and saddle.“ Frank James had waved his red time flag in a last short fare- well. The starting gate is in the barn and the big race track at the Fair Grounds is now a deserted waste, enlivened only o- -casionally by a serious minded jack rabbit or two which may have escaped from the grey hounds way back in history sometime. The season’s racing did not go out in a blaze of glory and enthusiasm, but on the ‘contrary ended in a most dismal and un- eventful manner possible. A weary crowd of bettors who were try- ing for the last time to get even with the game, a mob of anxious touts eager 4 inch off a final commission and a few ungry bookmakers looking for the final handful of money made up the central group of the day’s last scene. The races were more than common place and two of the decisions were not to the liking of the crowd, although had they been Otherwise they would have caused as much comment and adverse criticism as did those made. It was a day of consolation races for horses that had never done anything Worth mentioning during the season or eise for miscellaneous bunches of colts and Aged horses thrown together .n almost any kind of shape. The betting was in keeping With the freakish fields. Everybody backed everything almost every possible way. Tips Were flying thick and fast and if half the tales tod could be believed commissions @mounting to fabulous sums were being Played in other parts of the country. The racing officials say that the season Was a profitable one in the main, although they give out no figures on the subject. For the books it has undoubtedly been & profitable one from the beginning to the end. It certainly has not been so for the * run of players who attended every ay. the owners have had varying luck, some making a very successful season of it and Others barely making both ends come out even. By to-morrow night the little colony which as been at the Fatr Grounds all summer will be well on the move to other parts of the country. Some will gd to San Francisco, Some to New Orleans and others into winter training quarters to rest up and get in form for the next year’s season. Most of the horses, however, go to California for the winter season there. Judge Joe Murphy will start about the iddle of the week for the coast and Starter Kit Chinn will go to his home in Kentucky, where he will pick up a string of racers and ie him to the gold coast to win shekels for easy and honors for his horses. The books, of which there were only six deft yesterday, will go to the various race tracks still running, but the most of them will get to New Orleans about the time the season opens there in the middle of Novem- => The track is closed down now until the opening of the spring racing season of 1897 and will be dead to the racing worid until Tua time except for occasional coursing matches or other sporting events especially arranged. The six races on vesterday's card were satureless, except for the fact that they scrubby to a degree. 2 summaries: es ace, sel) ng, one mile and seventy te Pow 95 (Higginbotham), 30 to a by five lengths all the way; ame „ 10% (Wilson), 10 to 1, see md; Cass 102 (Garser), 100 to 1, third.

Quite a game of foot ball was played at the Pastime grounds yesterday afternoon between the Cabanne place and Western Military Academy teams. The game end- ed in a row because the Cabannes did not like a decision by which the referee gave the W. M. A. 0 which took place eight minutes before the call of time for the second half. the Amateur Athletic Union, because their U. rules, which specify that no official shall make a bet on a foot ball game. The rules also forbid an offictal holding bets, and as the referee, Jim Wear, held the $10 that Mr. Niemeyer bet on the W. M. were fractured in more places than one. Hence the game was protested. It was a ame as far as it went. The Cabanne brothers did the best playing for the locals, while Hanna, a relative of the famous Mark of that ilk, Was the star man of the Alton soldier lads. Both sides made the same number of touch downs, three, but the Alton lads kicked every goal, while de Cabanne could not land the ball over the posts for the Cab- annes. So the final score was 12 to 8 in favor of W. M. A. The line up: Western M. A. Position. Cabanne A. C.

The Christian Brothers team downed Shurt- leff College of Alton in a clean, brisk game, played on the Christian Brothers college campus. The score Was 16 to 6. Capt. Theodoric Bland has a splendid team out at the college.

Indeed, a nicer game than that played on the beautiful campus yesterday has not been seen in St. Louls for many a day. There have been greater games, such as Missouri's three last yean. But yesterday’s contest was a pretty one to look at, par ticularly in the last half. | The standard of foot ball was quite as high as that displayed by Missouri and II- lindis a week ago. Of course, the boys did not play so strong or so fast as the big fellows from the State universities, but they put up nice, clean, open foot ball that gave great pleasure to the spectators. Shurtleff was not one whit bend, C. B. in g clean work. The Alton boys played foot ball from start to finish and took their defeat like men. It is hard to say who played the best football for the victors, but Bland was certainly the star of the team as far as the spectators were concerned. The son of “Silver Dick’’ made several brilliant runs out in the open where the spectators could get a good look at him. He went into the line well and low and broke up many a play made at his left tackle. His own tackling was all that could be desired. He hit the line as if he meant business and was the star ground-gainer of his team. Patrick, the other speedy half, ran well with ball, just as well as Bland, while his line hitting. was all right. His faults were lassitude in defensive work and in plays away from his posit on in offense. No fault could be found with Hoover or Walsh. Both boys played nice foot ball. Hoover is a fine kicker, a strong line breaker and more than an average man in defense. Walsh needs to speed his pass, but he is the pest passing quarter C. B. has ever had. He is not as good a man on defense as Fox and not equal to O’Reilly in in- terference. No fault could be found with the line men Nutz, Sullivan and Reitz played their posi- tions finely. Reitz put up a particularly strong game. His snapping was splendid, but he did not get into plays away from his position as he should. Osborne played a good tackle, while Gib- bons’ end play on defense was very good. The entire C. B. C. tackled high. Both teams were strong on offense and ** weak in defense. It was a case of get the ball and waltz down the field in from 5 to 30-yard jumps. he Shurtleff boys deserve credit for their good, steady game. Their interference was better than the Chr‘st’an Brothers, and they gained ground with the ball in easy style. Barring Taylor, Petefish and Jones they were dead ones on defensive play. A cripple could break through the whole out- fit. They had no hands, or, if they had, they knew not how to use them. Capt. Taylor is a foot ball player all through albeit a trifle slow in running his team. He is a good quarter, a first rate , gure low tackler and a good interferer, Petefish is an old player who was Tilinots College two years ago when played at De Hodiamont against the time Athletic Club. They say the man the droll handle is a professional, as he is Shurtleff’s coach. Anyhow he is a good foot ball player. He did some star work at ‘tackle yesterday. His breaking through tackling behind the line was immense. Jones did excellent work in interference, offence and defense. He is a good man in a game. Lawton is a good ground gainer but a pall bearer in everything else. Paine is a pretty good man and laid over Bernero, but Duggan was his size and a little more. The other members of the Shurtleff team Showed up well. The teams were very evenly matched, especially in the line. The Christian Brothers’ victory is all the more creditable, inasmuch as three of the men in, the line were substitutes. Towards the end of the second half Pat- rick retired and an odd mite of humanity who owned up to the name of “Crip’’ took his place. “Crip’s’’ real name is England. He plays foot ball like an Irisher. He did excellently. Linehan’s playing at end was poor, which is to be wondered at, as Linehan was a good foot ball player two years ago. It must have been an off day with him. THE GAME, Alton won the toss and chose the goal, giving C. B. C. the ball. Hoover kicked off and Dixon caught and ran back ten yards. Then Shurtleff went to work and carr ed the ball down the field. Jones, Lawton and Swain took turns in advancing me lea her and it looked as if the C. B. d. lads would | not be in it.

CONDITIONS LIKE THE WEST. The Same Bitter Feeling Among the 4 @ilers and the Same Revolt Against Coercion. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 2#.—Henry George writes to the Journal this morning an en- couraging view of the political situation in this State, as seen in the western part. Mr. George, says, writing from Buffalo: Here, where the most western of the great New York cities rests on Lake Erie, what seems most difficult to understand, is how it is 80 8 assumed on both sides that Me Kinley will carry the Empire State. Certainly the great wave of politi- cal revolutlon that is rolling in from the West has not stopped with the boundary Une of New York. It may be that it loses force as it continues east, but continue it certainly does, and from all I am_able to learn there is, in Western New York, at least, no perceptible lessening of force. If I had stepped across from Ohio into New York, in ignorance of the boundary Une, I would not have known of its ex- istence from anything I hear when I ask for facts as to political feeling. I hear of the same bitter feeling among the wealth- producing class, of the same attempts among the large employers to affect the votes of their dependants, of the same-de- termination to resist among what is some- times called the “Tin Bucket Brigade,” of the same gratified acquiescence among the rank and file of the Democracy with the platform and candidates of the Chicago, platform, and of the same factor of polit- ical change in the turning of Republicans in the farming districts to the new Democ- racy, as have made me conclude that a reat — revolution is on us, and that in all human probability Bryan and Sewall will get the electoral votes of Ohio, In- diana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as of the States farther West and South, and that Bryan, if death does not intervene, will take his place in the pres- | idential chair. ’ And all these factors seem to show them- | selves, as well as I am able to make out in Western New York, as in the States farther West. The only difference in degree that I am able of Prohibitionists that will this year vote for Bryan is not so large—the highest estimate that I got from a well-informed Prohibitionist being one-half, whereas in Ohio it went to two-thirds. But the idea is here, and I hear of detailed statements from men having opportunities to know that go to show that while the railroad man- agers are all for McKinley and are endeav- oring in every way to influence or coerce the working railroad men, the latter are as determinedly the other way, while wearing McKinley badges and joining sound money clubs, and taking part in McKinley pro- cessions, Certain it is, a strong tendency among workingmen is for Bryan. Even the Poles, who are here in large numbers, are, I am told, affected by it. and it-is showing itself among other laborers of foreign birth. As for the defection in the Democratic ranks it seems to be confined to the “better class“ Democrats, who amount to some- thing as a matter of show on platforms and in the newspapers, but comparatively : little in votes. It is strong on the West Side, which here, as in many other cities; seems to be the aristocratic quarter, but little or nothing on the East Side, whe the great body, ef voters live. As for the rural districts and small towns in Erie, Niagara, Chautauqua, Orleans, Genesee and Allegheny, and as far east as Syracuse, wat I hear of, Abe feeling of the farmers would indicate nothing less than a political landslide. I hear of farming stretches formerly strongly Republican in Niagara and Orleans where every one will this vear vote for Bryan, of places ¥ke Hol- land, in Erie, where there are fifty Repub- lican bolters to one Democratic bolter, whom they expect to get back, and of places like Victor, in Ontario County, where 212 — of a total vote of 213 have declared for ryan, FOUR POISONED. Arrest of a Woman at Kansas City ‘on a Charge of Causing Three Deaths. | KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 24.—Miss Alice Platt, aged 28 years, a servant girl in the household of Charles Mussey, a prominent attorney, is under arrest on suspicion of 228 poisoned Mrs. Mussey’s mother, aged years, and three children. She is believed to have been insane. Mrs. lien T. Torrence, Mrs. Mussey’s mother, died suddenly five weeks ago, it was supposed from stomach complaint. Soon after that Hugh, a 6-year-old son of the Musseys, was saved from morphine oisoning, and to-day Sue, aged 4, an lizabeth, aged 10 years, died of strychnine poisoning, taken in cookies given them by the servant. The death of Mrs. Torrence and the ill- ness of the boy Hugh were at the time sup- posed to be natural, but circumstances to- day tend to fasten the poisoning of all four upon the servants. At the Coroner’s office this evening Miss Platt steadfastly maintained her innocence, but was held for developments. The only reason assigned for the alleged crime is insanity, which the Musseys have sus- posted for some time. The body of Mrs. orrence, which was taken to Keokuk, Io., for burial, will be exhumed. NEW YORK HERALD’S POLL. It Says McKinley Will Be Elected by a Large Majority. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 2%.—The Herald pre- dicts, after a canvass of every State in the United States, that William McKinley will be elected President by a large majority of the Electoral College. Mr. McKinley is given 248 votes. Bryan is given 134 votes. The doubtful States mentioned are: Cal- ifornia, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming. These represent sixty-five votes. Were Mr. Bryan to secure every one of these doubtful States the Herald claims that Mr. McKinley would still be elected 5 a large majority. SOUTH SIDE COURSING.

Which Would Have Made the Game a Tie—Indians Played a Great Game. NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—Seldom has there been such dissatisfaction shown by the spectators’ of a foot ball game as that demonstrated this afetrmoeon at the conclu- sion of the’ contest between Yale and the Carlisle Indian School. In the first half the Indians surprised the New Haven kickers Bcoring a touch- down from which & goal was kicked in less than five minutes and the form thus displayed puzzled the blue very much. However, before the half had ended Yale secured two touchdowns and two goals, making the score 12 to 6 in their faypr. In the second half Jameson, for e In- dians, sco a touchdown which was not allowed. The decision of Referee Hockok created much dissatisfaction, Neither side scored in the second half. The crowd surrounded the Indian players cheering them and there was not a Yale ery to be heard, Thé Indians played a re- markably strong game and the only ad- vantage that Lale had was by trick plays around the ends. The Indians repeatedly bucked the center succéssfully while Yale was frequently repulsed in this style of play. 4 The tackling of the. Indians was fierce, but they were foiled pletely by Yale’s revolving wedge around either end. The Indians — * the greatest strength and effectiveness in mass plays, but in open plays requiring strategy Yale far excelled their adversaries. ASSOCIATION FOOT BALL.

Wearers of the Orange and Black Show | Up Well. : Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Pennsyl- vania, the four great foot ball colleges of America, have played many games during the past week, and in their present form it is safe to predict that the big foot ball games will be as close this year as at any — * time in the history of college foot a The Harvard-Princeton game is only three weeks off, and as the wearers of the crimson have not shown any great strength they are beginning to look seriously on their chances with the Tigers. Another point in favor of the Tigers is that Harvard tactics will not be new to them, as Holt, who played with Ha st is schooling the wearers of the orange and black in all the tricks of the Cambridge people. That Holt knows all the Harvard tactics there is not the slightest doubt, be- cause when that gentleman was at r- vard he was let into all their secrets. Princeton has shown unlooked-for strength in the kicking department, and while on the topic of form it may be sald that Yale and Pennsylvania this year are at a loss for men who can be relied on to gend the ball out of danger by a long, quick unt, not to speak of being able 75 send he leather over the bar after a touchdown has been made, or of dropping a one of the most difficult feats in football. Penn- sylvania is mourning the loss of Brooke, and can find no one to fill his shoes, while at Yale the coaches are sighing for another “Brick Thorne” or a Butterworth.

"WILLIAM WILL MAKE CHANGES. | He Intends to Reform the Artillery Service and Will Try to In- crease the Navy.

Von Bruesewitz to four years’ im- prisonment and to dismissal from the army for killing a workman with his : word has created considerable stir in civil- nan and military circles, ha A peasant named Bauer has several sons © fm the army and one of them was in the > garrison at Gmund, where he was made 2 * > # non-commissioned officer.

Upon him took revenge for his imprisonment by jecting him to systematic brutalities. Bauer once attempted to commit suicid failed and the cruelties were almost in- 2 ntly. The military court, which inquired into the | sty simply declared it to be an ordinary of suicide. But a number of officials | inhabitants of Reidlingen have now en the matter up and have compelled the - @illitary authorities to reopen the inquiry. t is learned upon good authority that the _ tite German artillery is about to be reor- | ganized.

The party of intimidation and assault has added the beating of small boys to its already long list of offenses and as a result little Alex Wolff, an office boy of 14, lies at home with a fractured skull and a The assault upon the lad was made upon the open highway while a Republican procession was passing along with lighted torches and a band of music. The boy was carried to the City Dispensary about 10:15 o’clock with his face and shirt cov- ered with blood which was flowing freely from the wound. When Dr. Lippe examibed him he found that he had been seriously though not fatally injured. The boy said that he was standing on the sidewalk at Second street and Chouteau avenue, watching the passing of a torch- light procession of the Second Ward Repub- lican Club. He is not sure about what ward it was, but he knows it was Republi- cans. While standing on the curbstone he piped up and shouted “Hooray for Bryan.” He had no more than uttéred the words when + ve — * . ?

The man then stepped back into line and went on with the rest of the parade. The boy was knocked down and lay for a moment in semi He was finally picked up by some bystanders, who, after a search, succeeded in finding a police- man, who telephoned for an ambulance, bu? made no effort to discover who it was that had hit the boy with the torch. No attempt was made to arrest anybody, although probably half a hundred people saw the boy struck. The boy was sent to his home, at 913 South Second street. A RUNAWAY’S EXPERIENCE. Herman Reece Left Home and Sold His Trousers for Food. Herman Reece is 13 years old and declines to remain at home when his step-father insists on beating him. Herman lived at Fourteenth and Madison streets, Kansas City, but when his step- father tried to punish him for acts of which he says he was not guilty he rebelled and left. A freight train brought him to St. Louis, and by request of his step-father he was arrested a week ago and sent back to his home. He remained there but two days when he says he became tired of the continued abuse and locked himself in a box-car, not where it was to go. uck would have it. the car came this was opened young — e A — cari As way and when the Reece rolled out on the ground, after three fuary 12, 1891, Maj.

NEW ORLEANS, la, Oct. 24—Next Wednesday the new port terminals of the Illinois Central Railroad will be formally opened and dedicated. It will be an event of great importance to the grain shippers of the West and Northwest and probably the greatest commercial happening in New Orleans in many years. The new terminals consist of wharves and landings at the head of Louisiana avenue together with a one-million-bushel elevator. President Stuyvesant Fish, General Man- ager and Vice-President Harahan and the Board of Directors of the Illinois Central have left Chicago for St. Louis on a tour of inspection., which will end in this city prior to the dedication. Mayor Flower will welcome the guests. Gov. Murphy J. Foster will christen the new docks, the name “Stuyvesant” having been cliosen in honor of President Fish. The new nals represent the expen- diture of over $1,000,000 and the employment of an immense amount of labor. The wharf is 1,600 feet in length with a width of 100 feet. There are storage sheds which will accommodate more than one hundred thousand bales of cotton, and train sheds which will shelter between 800 and 900 freight’ cars. THROUGH THE BRIDGE.

Ud future life without asking a single question. a He is not an astrologist, mind reader or supposed ö ndoo or Egyptian faker, but a thoroughly de- 7 veloped American clairvoyant and unconsciously en- tranced trance medium, who knows where and whom hia marvelous powers are derived. He does not display his ignorance by disclaiming all wie of mediumship simply because a few ‘individuals are prejudiced to the same; neither does show a lack of common sense by calling the re- spirit friends sacrilegious, for he has teached a perfect development and speaks with ability gained by . & experience. He would bave the public understand that there are many supposed mediums who are only par- 3 tially developed and who do not know the proper E 2 source of even their limited knowledge, but who are, at times only, capable of telling things true, and who, not properly understanding the workings of the spiritual forces, are inclined to think that It is wholly by and through their own physical = force that they are able to tell even the little they. 5 do tell, and who admit of their inability to guide 3 you eorrectly by this admission, which is proof positive of their undeveloped condition. No one should trust their future such a medium, for there is nothing whatever to guarantee that their advice will be correct, and, failing in receiving 8 — it leaves you in a worse condition before. t is the Louis Mediums or persons who admit that they do not know where or bow the wonderful powers’’ they co te to possess come from place themselves a questionable position before the public, and leave a doubt in the minds of all whether they are able or not to assist you, and you, whoever are, cannot afford to place your future hap- under the idance of such a one, neither ou place confidence in or trust to be directed can individuals, in important business matters by 4 born in America, but who claim to be Hindoo or 4 + A gage for these people are behind every- and even if genuine natives of the older countries, so-called, they are not capable of giv- ing you proper advice in this the Nineteenth Cen- tury, for they do not understand the modern ways ; of this, our country, and even if they did their methods are too slow and not adapted to the American people.

He is ready now, as in the past, to prove to all just what he claims and does not offer free tests or other improper inducements to entice people to his parlor. He does not charge for consultation, but does charge for advice and work he does for you. HIS CHALLENGE bas not been accepted by a single individual, who advertises from one to twenty-five thousand dollars for their equals, but is still open to all such, and he is ready at any time to meet such, either in private or public, and prove that he is their superior in every respect. Ladies can visit Prof. Martin without fear of as. sulted, and gentlemen need have no fear of being oe upon. All will find him a reliable medium and a gentleman as well, who has no humbug- gery’’ or ‘‘hoodoo”’ business connected with his me- diumship. All he tells you is told in a straight, plain, forward manner, so that you can have no doubt of understanding how and knowing just what is best to do. As a business medium he is un- doubtedly the best you can find. He gives dates, facts, figures, reliable and important advice and information on all business undertakings. warns you of coming dangers, averts trouble, sickness, ete., guides yon right in all affairs of life, mar- riage, divorce, love, law and speculation; tells if friends are trne or false.

If expectations are realized it will be the greatest torchlight parade ever seen in any Western city. The men in the line will be there full of enthusiasm and t that the gallant fight made for the ople by William Jennings Bryan will re- t in nis triumphant election. No intimidation or coercion will be nec- @ssary to get men into this demonstra- tion and none will be essayed. In this re- @pect it will be a very different affair from the parade to be given the same afternoon in obedience to the request of Mark Hanna. There will be no men in the Bryan parade wrhose convictions are not in accord with purpose of the demonstration. It will @ parade of men of all political views . who favor Bryan and free silver and a ee money system not absolutely dictated by ‘eee the bond sharks money manipulators of the East. The conciusion to have a silver demonstra- tion was not reached until late yesterday n. e original intention was to Rave © parade of ¢ e 8,000 members of the Workingmen's Bryan Club, but, owing to the urgent requests made from other organ- Spations, the central body of the Working-’ lud decided, after a conference with Traveling Men's and other bodies, to te all the ward and other clubs in the that are supporting the Chicago. plat- _ Accordingly every silver club is entitled 1 in the line and arangements will — to make it an occasion that will be remembered.

THE HOPE OF HUMANITY. Liberty and the Future of the Race Depend on the Great Strug- gle Now On. — \ WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 24.—Senator Butler, as Chairman of the Populist Na- tional Committee, to-day issued the follow- ing official address, written by Ignatius Donnelly and adopted by the National Com- mittee of the Populist party: To the Members of the People’s Party of the United States: Friends and Brethren: Your National Committee has been doing all in its power to unite our membership in one grand charge all along the line during the closing days of the campaign, in behalf of liberty, home and country. We have been measur- ably successful. All that is needed now is that the people should realize the gravity of the situation which confronts them and the immense interests that are at stake and move together as one man. All thoughtful ¢tiizens stand appalled be- fore the tremendous wer which the mil- lionaires of the world, few in number and individually insignificant, have put forth in the contest. Acting through the news- papers which they own and the politicians whom they have bought, they are covering the whole land with a network of influences inimical to good business. They threaten our defeat unless met by concerted action f the whole people. ey seek continued Sawer simply to increase their possessions. The good of mankind has no place in their purposes. They come to us from Europe, which they have despoiled and made a land of prea and paupers, where great wealth and great poverty stand perpetually facing each other, while hireling armies preserve the peace and protect the robbers from their victims. They are rapidly bringing this great, free republic to the same condition. Our ancestors fled from the old world to the new to escape the dreadful doom which injusticé had inflicted upon them. Whith- er will our children fly when the full flower of this hideous abomination blos- soms forth into perfection? Oppression peopled this new world. Is oppression to unpeople it? Or is our noble civilization to sink in blood in a blind battle of wretched; ness against power, striking wildly and wounding itself. We stand for the pre- servation of humanity in the highest esti- mate of which it is capable on earth. The good God who made the universe and main- tains it gave us this grand continental arena for the development of man—not of a metal. Every instinct of philanthropy, every teaching of religion, every impulse of wisdom, every dictate of statesman- ship is with us in this mighty struggle and urges us forward to save the republic and the human race. In so far as the pre- cious metals are to be used as the basis sist that both metals shall be used. * In a burst of generous enthuslasm and through the changes and pangs of civil War we accomplished the enfranchise- ment of another race, but in the slough of despondency from which we plucked the black man the black and white are now alike struggling. Having saved that race we seek now to save ourselves. The issue is mightier than any fought for in the past. We have the noblest of leaders. MORE Our candidate for Prestdent, Wm. J. Bryan, has proven himself one of the great men of the century—if not of all time. The wer which gave us Washington, Jefferson, ackson and T inoola. has by events almost miraculously brought him from obscur.ty to the fore front of affairs. He is more a logician—a born statesman, He is striving to the last verge of human endurance—and at the risk of his life—in a campaign which is one prolanged and tremendous debate, to save his country. Is there any honest heart that does not go out to him in this great struggle? We see him almost alone, like a knight in armor, armed cap a pie with truth and righteousness, battl.ng against the gigantic powers that now have possession of the world. Shall we not sustain him? Shall any petty plea turn us aside? Let us follow where he leads and strike where he strikes. Almost without a newspaper—with- out wealth—he takes upon his shield a thousand spear points and strikes forward, laughing, to beat down the swarming hosts of the enemy. Let every Populist in the United States cry: “Master, go on, and we will follow thee, to the last gasp, with truth and loyalty.” We are no less fortunate in our candidate for Vice-President, Hon, Thos. E. Watson. He is fit to stand by Mr. Bryan and hold up his hand. A scholar, an author, an orator, a hero, a fiery-souled son of the gallant South, as wise and just as he is brave. But do not take discouragement from the fact that there are two candidates for Vice- President in the fleld, marching under Mr, Bryan’s banner. There will be two months between the date of the election and the day when the electors are required by law to cast their votes. Surely there is wisdom enough in the two parties which support Mr. Bryan to adjust that complication dur- ing that time in a manner satisfactory to all, Brethren, some of 915 fear that this cam- paign will destroy the People’s party. — have no such apprehension. Its principles are right, and, being right, they are im- mortal. In four years they have taken possession of the Democratic party, and on November 3 they will take possession of In 1892 we had but 1,000,000 votes. On November 3, 1896, we shall have a majority of the whole country. We have not become Democrats, but the Democrats have, in the bioad sense of the word, be- come lists. We have not given up our organization. We do not propose to close the academy because the first class is about to graduate with honor, As the spirit is greater than the flesh, so the principles of a party are ter than its traditions, side. convictions as allies than with events. ray ite pledges 8 alllance now temporary ontinued. m * do not and the forces have to divide, three-fourths of their 8 will march off under our standards.

We feel the pressure of the chains upon our limbs, but they are not yet riveted. Shall the cunning artificers have four Phe more in which to finish their work? Shall we not strike them down now and forever? Shall our children bless us in our graves; or shall they rise up in their miserlel and curse our dishonored dust? Remember that when Liberty dies in the United States it dies in the whole world. This is man's one last, great opportunity. Forget everything else and do your whole duty.

Additional information on the subject was obtained to-day from a gen- tleman who is financially interested in the success of the syndicate’s operations. The Americans at the head of the enterprise are James Ross and a Mr. MacKenzie of Mon- treal. Mr. Ross is immensely wealthy, jis a director in the Bank of Montreal and is heavily interested in the Northern Pacific | Railroad and Canadian street railways. He can command capital to an almost unlimited | extent. It is stated that with him are a number of Americans on this side of the Canadian line who have become wealthy as street railroad operators; also a number of En- glish, German and Dutch bankers, as well as the great house of Rothschild. These gentiemen find the street railways of Europe where those in America were ten years ago. They see abundant opportunity to make a great deal of money by bringing them up to the present American standard. They not only have the underground railways of Lon- don in view, but are prepared to operate in Berlin, Paris and other large European cit- les. The syndicate, in fact, has already gained possession of the street railway sys- —— of Birmingham, England, and is oper- ng it. The roy ang electric system will not be tolerated in Europe and compressed air will | be used. Compressed air has been the mo- tive power on a Paris railroad for the last fifteen years, but its complete success was prevented py inability to obtain reservoirs which would sustain for any length of time the great air pressure needed. An American named Kellogg has invented a seamless tube which will hold air at a pressure of 5,000 pounds to the square inch, and it was mainly this fact that led to the formation of the syndicate. company to make the tubing has been formed in Boston, and the factory has been gas is failing and the factory will be moved and re-established at a cost of $2,000,000. if all the plans of the syndicate go through. Cleveland, New Castle, Pa., and two other cities are being considered as places for the new factory, and within a few weeks a proposition will be made to the Chamber of Commerce of this city. A number of pneu- matic motor street cars are now being made at Worcester, Mass., to ship to Birmingham. HURT BY YOUNG VIRAGOES.

At Twentieth street Mabel Andrews and. .Wikeite Hyde, the two col- ored girls, were standing on the corner. She started to walk around them, but they insisted on getting in her path and she shoved one of them. That started the fight and it resulted in Catherine McHugh being thrown to the sidewalk. The two colored girls jump- ed on her and might have stamped her to death had not some men pulled them way. Mabel Andrews was arrested, but Wil- lette Hyde, who lives at 2719 Bell avenue, escaped.

DARMSTADT, Oct. 11.—Taking a tour through Burope, I arrived at the city of Darmstadt in time to witness the reception given to the Czar and Czarina of Russia. The city was in holiday attire and the pro- cession which met the royal couple at the station was grand. I had a splendid view of the affair from the balcony of our ho- tel. Just as the carriage of the Czarina d my hotel the Czarina dropped a uquet of roses, and I was fortunate enough to secure one. Thinking it will in- terest some of your readers to hear some- thing of the celebration I send this letter and have forwarded the rose in alcohol.

High-Born English Woman Arrested for Theft, but Released on a Small Bond. — —- LONDON, Oct. 24—The last work which the late Archbishop of Canterbury was en- gaged upon was an answer to the encyclical letter of Pope Leo XIII. on the Anglican orders. Dr. Benson said of the letter: The posi- tiveness of the assertion may still have effect with some who mistook the kindli- ness of a personage for the thawing of a frozen church policy to which he is com- mitted.” The late Pfimate denied the Pope's con- tention and asserted that Rome has not an accurate knowledge of England con- cerning the Anglican orders, He declared that the bull moves all English church- men not to be decided by a pretension to unity and by assertions which have his- torically created the widest and deepest separations; but to draw poner together in faith, inefirmness and in forbearance.

If he is prepared for a special race he will beat them all; then the next day they will all beat him. Sanger's trouble is that he can’t jump. He is the best of the lot on a long sprint. “The absence of all double, triple and four-seated machines for pacemaking pur- poses, and the success that has attended the efforts of race-meet promoters in put- ting in single pacemakers, has demonstrat- ed that the latter is the best method yet adopted to get speed out of the riders, give the public a good race and at the same time bestow a fair chance on every competitor to win the event,“ says Dave Coburn. “Last year it was an easy matter for a rider to cling to a quadruplet and be pulled into the stretch, where he made an easy winning. There was a champion then, for the cham- pion usually usurped the position behind the big machine and shot out from behind it to victory. This year no one can claim the supremacy. There are three among whom our honors are divided: Single pacemaking has been the cause of this, and it is single pacemaking that is making the sport of cycle racing successful.”’ “Did you ever hear how Willie.

On the way home the valve stem on one of the tires broke, and the boys were compelled to foot the way home, where they arrived at 10:30 in the worst of tempers, but with good appetites. The names of Ed Kramer and Jack Frost are up for membership. The members miss their president, who is confined to his house with malaria. The attendance at the club has not been up to its usual standard the E but with the Exposition over and cold weather coming on, there will then be no room for complaint. 5 The foot ball team will go out for its first regular practice this morning.

This year they have paid a million dollars in State taxes, which they would not have been called upon to | pay if the Gould roads, and other roads, had maintained faith, and regarded the obliga- tion of contracts easy to figure how er advantage on the The fact is that with reference more to their ability, real or political avail- supposed, than to any pre- eminent qualification for the practice of law. Col. Wells H. Blodgett has alwa s h a large entourage of such men. Nearly ail of them have been on the hustings this year, both in Illinois and Missouri. They have dwelt upon the sanctity of contracts; have insisted that dollar for dollar is the only standard of deferred payments; have dwelt upon the necessity of parity between the money paid by the creditor and that repaid by the debtor; have raised the Mosiec law of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth as the basis of all laws governing human affairs. It is useless to expect these gentlemen to tell the truth. That is not what they are paid for. Besides, when the truth is told of how the great railroad corporations of M'ssouri have kept faith with the State, it will be impossible for the attorney of any one of these corporations to stand before a Missouri audience thereafter and talk about the “public credit.“ Furthermore, when this story is — it casts a serious reflection upon that part Which all the corporation lawyers of Mis- souri are attempting to restore to power at Jefferson City. Mr. Lewis, the Republi- canecandidate for Governor, has publicly | declared his belief that a public official who | 1 for Divine guidance ‘s not of sound will mind. This is not Republican doctrine, but we must assume it to be the view of Republicans who have held office in Missouri if they are to be judged by their record. For certainly that record cannot have been the answer to prayer of men seeking the stra'ght and narrow way and asking for a light unto their feet. Mr. Lewis’ Republicanism is evidently a revival of that form of Re- publicanism which reigned at the Missouri State Capitol a few years after the close of the war. This story of plunder, of broken faith, of public robbery, of violation of con- tract and ecurrupt disregard of Sa- cred obligations, grew out of efforts at in- ternal improvements before the war com- menced. Nearly forty years ago the State of Mis- souri had not a mile of railway within all her vast territory. The Democratic party then in power, in order to encourage and foster the development of a system of rail- way improvements, provided for the pro- jection of five grand trunk railroads by loaning to them the credit of the State to the amount of $23,000,000. That is to say, the State issued and delivered to these several roads her bonds amounting to $23,000,000, the State promising and guaranteeing to pay these bonds, with interest, if these several railroads failed to do so. The State took a first mortgage on these roads to secure it. Four of these railroads, the Pacific, the Southwest branch thereof, Iron Mountain and the North Missouri railroads, made de- fault in payment of the principal and in- terest on the bonds issued by the State to them, whereby the conditions of the mort- gages given by them were broken. They were of value of not less than $30,000,000. This valuable indemnity and security of the people, while the Government of the State was in the hands of the Republican party, was fraudulently disposed of to rings and favorites of the administration for less than a fourth of their value. J. L. Lamb testified in the case of Vogel, McKay, Reed & Co, as set out in Missouri Reports: “Our next move was to engage or em- ploy in our interests persons of such political affinities, standing and power with the dominant power in the Legislature as would soften down or remove the ‘copper- head’ character of our board and enable us to go before the party indorsed by seme high in the faith. Through them we were let into the secret of how things are sometimes done, when all other methods are ineffect- ual. It was terribly costly for an ordinary job, but we were going for millions. The sum of five millions is the price, the State abating six millions of the claims. It was obtained through our exertions and ap- pliances at a cost to the company or stock- holders of $57,313.60 already paid, and $134,868 to be paid, the whole aggregating $192, 176.60."" On Jan. 13, 1868, G. A. Finkelnburg, Theo- dore Bruere and other members of the General Assembly were empo resolution of that body to inquire into the value of the Pacific Railroad and report their conclusions in respect to the same. They subsequently reported that the value of the road was $12,797,479.22, and that ‘‘$8,- 000,000 was the minimum sum for which the State ought to dispose of its interest in said ailway.”’ f Notwithstanding all this, the Pacific Rall- road, by the means and manner already indicated, was sold for $4,000,000. Thus a property worth every dollar for which the State had a mortgage on it was wasted and disposed of at the sum just stated and ata loss to the State and the tax-payers of from $6,000,000 to $8,000,000. ‘A more stupendous act of governmental maladministration of the business of a State cannot be found in the whole history of the a judicial record, light on how political differences and party lines disappear among ‘“‘financiers any question of money is involved. Lamb and his associates in the scheme of public spoliation were, or were called, Dem- ocrats.

But, wide as was the if dividing the parties of that day, and bitter as were the partisan animosit left by the war, the chasm could yet be bridged. The power of money could bring gogether the finan- ciers”’ of both parties and unite them in a scheme of plunder against the people. : This sort of party masquerading has been going gon for a generation. Combatants tran question. Ex-Gov. Thomas C. Fletcher has been in New York recently declaring that Missouri is safe for “sound money and the main- tenance of the public faith.”” It is, accord- ingly, of interest to know what Mr. Fletcher rewards as “maintenance of the public faith,” and here ts a scrap of history in relation to the Iron Mountain Railroad aich ie not bed reading just now. This Sad having made default in the payment «fits interest, the mortgage to the State was declared forfeited, and steps were taken to sell the road to satisfy it. The mortgage then amounted to $3,600,000, as will appear by the following correspondence: “St. Louts, Nov. 12, 1868.—To His Excel- lency, Gov. Fletcher: Dear Sir—In the ma- ter of bids opened by the commissioners for the sale of the St. ulis & Iron Mountain and Cairo & Fulton railroads, they are as follows: as 94 Fremont VJ. ˙ ˙ Al . r e . ee Southwes 880 , a.

WATT made this indorsement: “Dinsmore & Co. and Fremont I have no confidence in, but am satisfied that specula- tion is their object and not building the road. McKay, Vogel, Reed &.Co. have, I be- lieve, the means to build the road. Another | consideration With me would be the giving of it to men who belong to the progres- sive party of the State and are in sympathy with and have the sympathy of the capital of the country. * s C. FLETCHER, Governor.“ The sale of the road was made accordingly to Vogel, McKay, Reed & Co., not because they were the highest bidders, but because they belonged to the “progressive party“ Republican party. But these progressive party purchasers, Vogel, McKay, Reed & Cq., shortly after their said purchase of this“ road, sold it to Thomas Allen, the most venemous of Cop- perheads, for $1,000,000 and thus pocketed the snug little profit of one hundred thou- sand dollars. As further evidence of what Gov. Fletcher means by maintenance of the publie faith’’ the case of the Southwest branch of the Pacific railroad is strongly in point. The Southwest Branch of the Pacific Rail- road was indebted to the State in the sum of $3,956,000. In 1867, under an act of the Legis- lature to foreclose the mortgage lien of the State on this road for the said amount of its indebtedness, it was sold to the South Pacific Railroad\ upon the condition that it should complete the road and pay the State $300,000 in three equal an- ‘nual payments, the said Southern Pacific Railroad executing to the State its bond for | said sums, with security thereon to be ap- proved by the Governor. Under this act and sale, the South Pacific Railroad took pos- session of the old Southwest Branch and gave its bond to the State for $300,000, with William B. McKean and S. N. Jouett as se- curities thereon. Upon this bond for said sum, the approval of the Governor was indorsed as follows: | “TI Thomas C. Fletcher, Governor of the State of Missourl, hereby approve the fore- going bond with the above-named sureties as security, and in behalf of the State of Missouri, I hereby accept the same, “THOMAS C. FLETCHER, “Governor of the State of Missouri. June 11, 1868.“ Neither of said annual payments of $100,000 have ever been made. The bond remains on file in the office of the Secretary of State, as the unpleasant reminder of this fact. During the administration of Gov. Hardin an effort was made by both the legislative and executive branches of the State Gov- ernment to collect, if possible, the defaulted $300,000 bond, but it was unavailing. In- vestigation. developed the amazing fact that the lien of the State on the Southwest Branch for its $300,000 purchase money had been released by taking said bond, and that the sureties, McKean and Jouett, were es and that the money was a total oss. 8 During the month of July, 1876, Gov. Har- din wrote to Donnell, Lawson & Co., bank- ers of New York, inquiring as to the sol- vency of Jouett and McKean, the two se- curities on the bond. They replied under date July 26, 1876, as follows: William B. McKean is a resident of this city and has desk room in the law office of S. Bar- low. He is known to be a public accountant and without means. e are advised that S. M. Jouett is a bookkeeper at the Mer- chants’ Exchange National Bank, 257 Broad- way, and was formerly in the employ of William B. MeKean, and has no property.“ Thus it will be seen that, to put it mildly, the State was by either the ignorance or neg- ligence of its Republican administration, un- justly deprived of $300,000 more of the tax- payers’ money. These blunders and frauds of the Republican party by which the people of this State have been robbed of over $15,- 000,000 are part of the history of our State and are not to be controverted. The consequence of all this was that the great railroad debt, which the sale of the railroads themselves under the State mortgages would have satisfied and paid off, had it not been for gross fraud and mis- conduct,gravitated upon the people, and this $17,000,000 is a part of the splendid legacy bequeathed to the people of Missouri by a Republican administration. One half of the yearly taxes the people pay to the State goes into the “State interest fund,“ which is exclusively devoted to the payment of the interest on these railrgad bonds and to the payment of the bonds themselves. The Republican party in its administra- tion of the State Government has released the railroads from their obligations to pay this colossal debt, the principal and interest of which when paid will amount to $50,000,000, and saddled it on the people. In other words, the amount of taxes col- lected annually of the people to pay interest on this railroad dept for forty years from Jan. 1, 1868, will exceed the average sum of $1,000,000 per year. | There is hardly a State where conditions Similar to those in Missouri do not exist; | hardly one where the people are not pay- ing in annual taxes for railroad properties (which they do not own, and which have become a political force to be used against them by interests seeking further self- | aggrandizement at public expense. So flag- rant has this attempted usurpation of cor- porate power become, especially in the ef- fort made by foreign owners of such cor- porations, to oppress or intimidate the citi- zens of Missouri in their employ, that it is time to consider reform measures along the line of restricting such power and its exer- cise, The State has not exhausted its pow- ers in the passage of a corrupt practices act.

Unquestionably the most wonderful hu- man being in the world to-day is Helen Kel- lar. Deprived at the age of 18 months of all the senses save that of touch, her education was wholly neglected until her seventh year, it 8 deemed impossible to rescue her from the blackness of darkness into which she had been cast. To-day, at the age of 18 years, she has passed through the ordeal of examination for entrance to Radcliffe, the women’s an- nex to Harvard University, carried off the honors in German, French and English, and proven her equality. with any of the young women who are blessed with all the ad- vantages of education which wealth can buy, and are posseased of all their faculties. Not only that, but this marvelous girl, sightless, deaf, scentless and tasteless, passed the same examination to which the young men who seek to enter old Harvard are subjected. Throughout the long ordeal she had to read“ the questions by the delicately sen- sitive touch of her fingers on the lips of the examiner. She had never had any preparation for college examination, yet she passed the papers with credit, and the time allowed for each paper was precisely the same as that allowed to the candidates possessed of all their faculties: at the regular examination. The slow process of lip reading with her fingers consumed a greater time in assim- ilating the questions that were needed by those who read the questions, leaving a correspondingly short time in which to an- swer, yet Helen Kellar turned quickly to a ‘typewriter and in à trice transferred her thoughts to paper in neat topography and marvelously correct English, finishing each paper within the specified time allowed to her more fortunate brothers and sisters, Although Miss Kellar has conquered her deficiencies in so far as that she can not only articulate distinctly, but is an accom- plished linguist, the examinations at Rad- cliffe and Harvard are writtten, and she disdained to accept any special favor and submitted her answers in writing like all other candidates. it was that Helen Kellar, the most wonderful girl of the nineteenth century, matriculated for a university course at an age much younger than that.of the A full and lete Heating ead feo all the same mechanics as “Garlands.” ‘**Michi me Lik (te XAICHIG4 N > STOVES > RANGES } ANY other line EXCE 20 ® 7 line of Cooking and kinds of fuel, made t and of the same material are the peer of ‘sGarlands,”’ THE MICHIGAN STOVE COMPANY, Largest Makers of Stoves and Ranges in the World. scent the fragrance of the flowers or taste the strongest flavors.

J., Oct. 4.—A peculiar dis- pute over the ownership of a dog was de- cided in a novel manner by Judge Davis. a who said he raised it, and Barlow Hanbury claimed it was given to him by Quigley. Hanbury got short of money and pawned the dog for 15 cents. Later it esca from the pawn shop and returned fo its first own- er. For three weeks Mr. Hanbury has at- tempted to get possession of the dog, and at last sought advice. This morning the Judge called both men before him. Angry words were exchanged by the rivals, but after an hour’s hot debate the two men decided to abide by the Judge’s decision. Judge Davis, after considering the puzzle for a time, told the two men that the only way he could see out of the affair was to toss up a cent, the lucky man to take tne dog. Hanbury won and the Court awarded the dog to him, but Quigley says the end is not yet. BRYAN OF LINCOLN. (Tune Bryan o’ Lynn.) Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch.

But they can't; at least not in this State, and the individ@als. who have lived on and upon the people for ever so long should be given a chance to earn their own living. As it is, if the idle rich and the idle and hungry r are beneficial to the country the people should. vote against the free and unlimited coinage of silver.

While the good Bishop is fully entitled to express his opinion on any subject, a man in his position should be careful how and when he utters words calculated to rouse the passions of men and bring about a state of affairs not pleasant to contemplate. ‘ The question arises: Has Archbishop Ireland something better to offer than free coinage of silver’ he has he should say so, if not, he should have the good grace not to speak about things which he seems not to have the least conception of. He preaches peace when there is no peace; he prédicts war when he and his con- freres in and out of Camp Monopoly for years have done little else than make war upon the poor and the down-trodden by not returning a service for a service. The point that this country should wait until other nations censent to adopt bimetallism or free coinage is not.well taken. Archbishop Ireland does not ask the con- sent of his neighbors how he should run his house, what clothes he should wear or what and how much he should eat or drink of this or that. He simply goes ahead and does as he pleases within his four walls. What ap- plies to the family also applies to the nation, and if the people—a congregation of families —decide to have free coinage they will adopt it irrespective of the opinions, false prophe- cies and campaign snorters of their neigh- bors. The words “secession” and “anarchy” in connection with the present movement to ease the burdens of the toilers sound strange out of the mouth of one whom God. supposedly has called to preach the true gospel to all mankind. It is not sil- verism, but goldbugism and its tools and hangers-on which has seceded from the path of righteousness, which has grown sleek and fat at the expense of those whom it despoils As to anarchy, the beneficiaries of the pres- ent monetary system are the real Anarch- ists. There is no law for them, they are above it at all times and places. Owning or having mortgages on execu- tive, legislative and judicial departments of governments, owning, controlling and managing the public press, the only laws they are in favor of and have promptly and unmercifully executed are permitting them to take everything from their victims save enough to live on and reproduce their kind. If the honest and lawful endeavor to abolish monopolies, to apply the law of equal freedom, to bring about a state of affairs in which no one shall suffer unless it be by his own fault; a state of things in which no woman will be compelled to un- sex herself by hard and unseemly labor, and in which no child shall go hungry; @ state of affairs in which there ‘shall be work for all, leisure for all, opportunity for all, and in which even the luxuries and the refinements of a high be shared by all.

The present campaign presents a most un- usual demons*ration of the intelligence of the masses, and this country S. never yet had a campaign which demanded so much individual study from all who wish to dis- cuss the issue with any degree of intel- ligence. The result caunot fall to be educatiomal, At the coming election important amend- ments to the const-tution of Missouri are to be voted on, and voters should closely ex- amine them. The first one provides for the removal of the seat of government from Jefferson City to Sedalia. The second proposed amendment confines the power of the State Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals in more contracted limits—in other words, makes more definite the boundary of their jurisdietion. But sec. 3 of this amendment gives the Supreme Court “superintending control over the Court of Appeals“ to enforce cer- tain provisions mentioned in the amend- ment. The third proposed amendment concerns education, free schools and school ages. The future of posterity and the republic depends on the education or the ignorance of the people. Intelligent and educated individuals do not vote blindly or accept assertions as gospel truth without inquiring and satisfy- ing themselves of their truthfulness or fallacy. The fourth proposed amendment relates to waterworks, electric or other light plants and public sewers in cities of 30,000 inhabi- tants or less, and it probably is designed to give such cities a slight — oF * a empowe option in taxation by po 33 purposes. 6 ile a safeguard is thrown around the taxpayers by limiting the amount of taxes which may levied on property, the valu- ation of property is left to the discretion of the assessors. To judge by the ardor with which the Ranubhions press of the co@ptry all at once extolled the sudden rise of the price of wheat just two weeks before election, it ap- pears that the whole is principally a scheme to induce the farmers to vote for the Joss. “See Mr, Hayseed,” they shout with ghoul- ith giee,. the good outlook for. McKinley's A is sufficient to raise the price pg gen Hed then, will it be when he is te House? Better vote for him and regain the blessed protection and pros- rity which you have fost under the Demo. cratic maladministration. But the farmer only saws wood. He knows that he did not and does not get any of the higher prices artificjally boosted by those who from him bought the wheat for a song and a tale of overproduction. And he is aware that, like the land boom- ers of former years, the speculators in wheat deal in “futures,” that they mostly sell to one another and repeat the perform- ance, prices rising now, slightly falling next day, only to rise again a notch or two until the object in view is accomplished. And the farmer also knows that 99 per dent of those who sell more wheat than was produced are in favor of and advocate gold monometallism and that all their talk and honeyed words about how much they love and care for the poor, dear man who hes to work so many hours for so very little pay are blarneyism of the most refined and de- ceiving kind. 8 his thinking cap on and using it tor all it is worth, the 8 yeoman in- tends to vote for the party which proposes to make money more plentiful and thus en- able him to pay his current debts and mort- gages, the party that, by increasing the cir- culating medium, offers the working people a chance to earn enough to buy the farm- er's products and thus set the wheels of commerce a-going at full 117 around the social circle.

Like Hag- gard’s Nada, the Lily,” this blood-stained story is put into the mouth of a native Zulu warrior. It is a romance of war and love, the following brief synopsis giv- ing an idea of its plot: Untuswa has been the right hand man of the dread Umzilikazi, “the Great Great One, Calf of the Black Bull, the Elephant, who shakes the earth with his tread, the founder of nations, King of the Zulus of Matabeleland. He steals the maid- en who becomes his first wife from the King’s own “isigodhio,” but, nevertheless, by his great bravery and clever counsei, gains his pardon. The wife, after he has taken two others, gives rein to her malig- nant jealousy and brings him again ve near to the fearful death by impalement, After the migration of the nation north- ward and the wiping out of the “ le of the Blue Cattle,“ whose country they Occu- y, she discovers that Untuswa has found n a secret cavern in the citadel-mountain of the conquered King a marvelously beautiful Zulu woman of pure ys Ag blood, and has kept this fact from his master and all others, because of his infatua- tion for her. Through a multitude of thrilling advent- ures, Untuswa contrives to find his way to ultimate safety and triumph. His venom- ous first wife, to escape impalement, after having offended the K. throws herself over a cliff to the crocodiles that are kept in @ pool below to serve as royal execution- ers-in-ordinary. Lalusini has disappeared from her cavern, but after a ume comes before the King and makes good ‘muti,” or divinations for him. She proves the good genius of him and his people and helps them to drive back, with Untuswa as their general, the invading Zulus of the parent nation, from whose usurping rul- ers she had fled. The King would take her into his “isigodhlo”’ as his chief wife, but finds his desire balked by the fact, which she reveals to him, that she is of his own race, marriage between them being there- fore forbidden by the most sacred of laws. $o the Black Elephant gives her to Un- tuswa, bearer of the King’s white shield and the King’s assegai, bravest of the brave. There are a few striking illustrations. The story “would bear being copiously il- lustrated. (New York and London: Fred- erick A. Stokes Co.) One of the oldest of the row of fine old houses bordering on the Thames at Ham- mersmith is Kelmscott House, and there I found Mr. Morris expecting me, says the Critic Lounger. The room in which he re- ceived me was at the left of the entrance hall, and was a plain, simple workroom. There may have been a rug on the floor, but I do not recollect it. There was a soft- coal fire in the open fireplace, for the day was a little chilly, and the poet sat with his back towards it, facing a table at which he worked. I envied him that table—not for its beauty, but for its size. It was made of plain, unpainted boards, and must have been ten feet long and half as many feet wide. There was room for everything, and a little of everything was there; among other things the peet’s tobacco jar and pipes. I knew by the way his eyes turned towards these im- plements of peace, that he was longing for a smoke, and I begged him not to mind me, but to resume his pipe, which he seemed very glad to do. In 3 Mr. Morris was very much like his pictures, though he was handsomer than they made him out to be. His hair, which was well mixed with gray, was brushed back from his forehead and his grizzled beard and mustache well set off his florid complexion. He was of the average height, and of stocky build. looked like a very strong man, though noticed even then that in walking he used his stick as if he depended upon it. His manners were not those of a man of society, but they showed kindliness and interest; for, with great patience and no little trouble he ens of his printing to cor “You have not.“ your work and your tim are thinking only of the par but if you put in your e and your skill, At what you would be p for them by an- other person, you could hardly say that your publications made money.“ Mr. Morris smiled, but said no more on the subject. The profit did not seem to interest him very much; it was the artistic results which he accomplished that pleased him. * * * Mr. Swinburne’s new poem, The Tale of Balen,” which the Messrs. Scribner have just dap te „ is the most important work that has been written by the poet in several years, Bays the Bookman, It.is based on Sir Thomas Malory’s old story, and both in scheme and method the poem is an en- tirely new manifestation of Mr. Swin- burne’s genius. But the poetic gift of last- ing youth keeps the likeness strong de- tween the early and thé later Swinburne: though youthfulness would bettér express this quality, for not only are grace and agility his still, but so is the undisciplined spirit. He very early came to his own ma- turity—to maturity in a general sense he never will come, He has nothing exactly new to reveal to us in his latest volume, but song is a note of subtle tones rather than of many subjects. The power that has been especially and consistently his is not the power of conceiving and gathering wisdom. He is rather a flasher of light, a stirrer of men’s eyelids to awaken them to a sense of the 2 of visions out- side him and the gee | of wisdom con- ceived by athers, by virtue of which he exercises the most special function of the poet. The book is dedicated to the poet's mother in the following lines: Love that holds life and death in fee. Deep as the clear unsounded sea And sweet as life or death can be, Lays here my hope,. my heart, and me, Before you, silent, in @ song.

But as far as it goes, it is Nyes masterpiece. There is the same scathing | castigation of mediaeval atrocities and shortcomings as Mark Twain used to such effect ia the stories of “A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur’s Court,” and The Prince and the Pauper.” The numerous pictures in this history of England are by W. M. Goode and A. M. Richard, whose work is worthy to be placed alongside of that of Dan Beard, the inimitable illustrat- or of the two comic historical romances of Mark Twain’s mentioned above. They are the same pictures as were published by the Post-Dispatch in its serial use of the his- tory, but the effect is, of course, much bet- ter, the book being printed on fine paper. It is for sale by John L. Boland Book and Stationery Co., St. Louis. Price, $1.25. 5 * * One would never suspect the tall, broad- shouldered and military-looking man, ‘vith his boyish impulsiveness and optimistic sympathy, to be the author of that weird story, A Dead Man's Diary,” and the work which followed it, “A Book of Strange Sins,“ which, however, is not so lugubrious as its title would suggest, says the Book- man. “Captain Shannon,’’ by Coulson Ker- nahan, which has just been published by Messrs. Dodd, Mead & Co., is a new de- parture for him in fiction. He has been asked why he struck out in such a new line, 80 opposite in plot and character to the calm, judicial conception of God and the Ant.“ In answer to this he says: I hope my literary ideals have not been entirely submerged in the interests. of ‘Captain Shannon.’ I have tried to portray truth- fully the mighty underground movements which exist in our great cities. The story is not merely an effort at exciting fittion; it is based on my personal! investigation of so- cialistic life in centers like Paris, Geneva, Brussels and the East End of London. Any worker in political or social schemes will recognize the plausibility of the plot. What I claim for ‘Captain Shannon’ is the possi- bility of such a fellow’s clever evasion of the My story is intended to attention to a state af- of which few people have any conception. There have been in the last ten years plenty of facts brought up, there- by substantiating incidents in the career of Captain Shannon.“ The curious thing about “Captain Shannon” is that it is a story without a woman, and yet it is full of thrilling situations.

Hundreds of illusyra- tions are scattered through the two vol- umes, already published. G. A. Henty, the writer of boys’ stories, for two months dictated literary notes to a phoi.ograph. At the end of this period, when he wished to put his work in manu- script, the machine was thoroughly out of order, and the too trustful author had to mourn the waste of the entire two months’ time and eloquence, : A complete edition of the works of Edgar Allan Poe has just been published by Stone & Kimball.

Edmond Bire’s “Diary of a Citizen Dur- ing the Terror’ has been translated into English by John de Villiers. The author says he delved so deeply into the literature of the period of the terror that he almost fancied himself a contemporary.

Following is the reply sent by a well-known Missouri priest which conveys at once an answer and a rebuke to the presumptuous politician: . ST. LOUIS, October, 1896. Mr. Robert C. Ogden: enemies of the Church now pretending to recognize the moral influence of its clergy. How comes it? Are our Repel ican brethren about to un- dertake a pi lage to Canossa? You speak of the fundamental moral is- sues involved in the present political con- flict, and appeal to me as a moral instruc- tor to point out to my people their duties in the all-important day of election. To make such a suggestion is a piece of gross imper- tinence. To undertake to win my advocacy of a cause which 1 believe to be based upon falsehood and injustice is to insult my man- hood and dishonor my sacred office. Your moral sense must be indeed blunted when you boldly attribute to your oppon- ent the very evilg which are plainly in er- ent in your own policy. You say: “A de- cision in the selection of a President that will commit Executive to a policy that Ee oblige: pr - financia ons, pudiate.a portfon of national debts, will be a violation of the basic Christian principle that commands honesty between man and man. Such a decision, you say, would be thoroughly immoral, and would precipitate an ethical and material calamity of incal- culable magnitude.“ ; 3 pr sition commands my assent and hearty approval, and therefore do 1 hold it the duty of every American citizen to defeat at the polls the man who advocates euch a dishonest and destructive policy. He is not deserving the support of the American people who represents a monetary system foreign to the Constitution of the United States, but William McKinley, in being the advocate of a single gold standard, is the representative of.a monetary system foreign to the Constitution of the United States, therefore Wiliam McKinley is not deserving the support of the American people. Sections 8 and 10 of the first article of the Constitution of the United States clear- ly provide for the coinage of gold and silver as the legal tender in the payment of debts. “The Constitution of the United States,” * John Sherman before he ate of the for- bidden fruit could love justice and hate iniquity, as we learn from his speech de- livered Feb. 27, 1887: “I say that equality d justice are amply satisfied if we re- eem these bonds at the end of five years in the same kind of money of the same in- trinsic value it bore at the time they were issued. * * * Senators are sometimes in the habit, in erder to defeat the argument of an antagonist, of saying that this’is re- pudiation.’’ In a letter dated 1868, he said: “Your idea that we propose to violate or repudiate a promise when we offer to re- deem the neipal in legal tenders is er- roneous. think the bondholder violates his promise when he refuses to take the same kind of money he paid for the bonds. The bondholder can demand only the kind of money paid, and he is a repudiator and extortioner to demand money more valuable than he gave.“ The next insane move in this conspiracy was to demonetize silver; the money of the people, which was then more valuable, rela- tively king, than hoarded gold. “Whom the ods wish to destroy they first make mad. So the money lenders of the world, led by the Bank of England, resolved upon a covert attack Pal hee the nation’s capitol, Silver must be d netized per et nefas. To thein it was an easy task. hilip, Al- exander’s father, was reported to say that he did not doubt to take any castle or cita- del, let the ascent be ever so steep and diffi- cult, if he could but drive up an ass laden with gold to the gate. Here again the money power succeeded, and in 1873 a single gold standard took the place of the ancient money of the country. Silver was demone- tized and thrown upon the market as mere merchandise. As a teacher of morals I pronounce this a crime. The great schol- ars and statesmen of the country have so pronounced it. In anticipation of such an evil Lincoln said: If a Government contracts a debt with a certain amount of money in circulation, and then contracts the money volume before the debt is paid, it is the most heinous crime a nation can com- mit against a people.“ John G. Carlisle, now of golden memory, said in the House of Representatives: According to my view of the subject the conspiracy, which seems to have been formed here and in Eu- rope, to destroy by legislation and otherwise from threc-sevenths to one-half of the me- tallic money of the world, is the most gi- gantic crime of this or any other age. More- ton Frewen, the noted English authority, said in 1889: The national debts of Europe had all been contracted in silver, and could have been properly liquidated in silver, Sud- denly, and without a word of 8 every contract in Europe was violated by the closure of every mint to silver. Still, it is only when we pass on to the deed done at Washington that the silver question, fairly emerges as the biggest and best planned financial coup of the century. The whole 1415 — a Ap A DECLINE OF OVER TEN CENTS FROM THE TOP. THE LONGS: SHAKEN UT. Situation Just as Bullish as Ever— Wonderful Demand for Wheat— Flour Turns Slower—Notes. * The extraordinary advance that has been going on in wheat has received its first real check. The upward move culminated in a mild advance’ last Monday morning that put prices up to 82%c for December and 88½ for May. A sharp recession in value occurred that day, followed by a partial recovery on’ Tuesday. The next two days saw a rapid and heavy fall in price, complete demoralization breaking out Tac and May to 79%c. Another recovery was seen Friday to 76%c for December and 815%c for May, but Saturday the market literally went to pieces. The lowest prices were seen on the late curb, when December sold at 71%c and May at e. Here was a drop in price from the top of 10%@10%c, besides being dige below the curb price of the preceding Saturday. Just as in 1891, when the market ad- vanced heavily and wildly through too much short selling in American markets over the wonderful crop prospects of this country, so was the late break-down in price caused by the fact that the market Was too greatly over-bought, where in 1891 it was too greatly oversold. Too many speculators, attracted by the wonderful boom in price, came in and loaded up at the eleventh hour. An attempt to realize buyers, and a wild panic to get out, ac- companied by stop-order selling, brought about the crash in the bull boom. The shake-out of longs was decided and heavy, and it is probable that only those who bought late yesterday or who had plenty of money and faith to back ‘their purchases have now any long wheat on hand. * There is this difference between 1891 and 1896, that in the former year there was nothing solid to back up the advance brought about by the scare of the shorts, and after they bought their way out the market dropped back rapidly, and sold very low eventually. Now this year there are some most excellent reasons for the ad- vance. It was brought about by an actual shortage in supplies and by unusually heavy buying by Europe of the American product, That the foreigner was greatly influenced by the assurance that free silver would be successful in the approaching election in Thursday, and December going as low as eek were price of T1%c preceding week, 764%4c last year and 52½ e two years ago. 4 5 5 Oswald Graves came on Change yesterday for a short time, and he received the warm- est kind of a welcome. Mr. Graves has been seriously ill for several weeks, but is now improving rapidly. John C. Fears left last evening for New Orleans, having accepted the position of manager of the Illinois Central Railway's system of ain elevators at New Orleans. e capacity of these elevators is now 3,000,000 bu., and another house of 1,000,000 bu. is to be erected.

The provincial govern- ments are closely watching for signs of distress. * * 5 The London Corn Trade List says: Al- though the wheat market is apt to go to ex- tremes and a decided reaction has occurred, the general conditions surrounding the mar- ket are unchanged and the trade need not lose confidence that the world’s visible is less than in any year since 1891. The price ought to keep up to a level of at least 35s, and any return to low prices will probably be prevented by a rise in freight rates.“ Prime's latest crop report says: Splendid weather; no extremes in temperature, if any- thing a little?dry.

Not Since 1879 Has the General Situa- tion Been More Favorable Than at Present. — Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—The financial out- look grows brighter every day, and there are ro drawbacks to an improving market for securities that will not be removed within ten days. At this time the chief obstacles to a greater improvement are the remain- possibilities of a distressing stringency in the money market in the interval before the election. The week’s stock market showed that it cannot hinder the growing speculative enthusiasm from finding expression. As for the influence ef high money rates, it can only be said that there remains but seven more business days before the election. The call loan money market may in the mean- time grow firmer and money rates may reach a distressing pitch, but at the same time experience shows that money can always be borrowed in Wall street at a price, and any disturbance in the money market in the meantime is qualified in its importance by the certainty that it cannot last long.

G. Clifford, of 3521 Laclede avenue, St. Louis, says: “For more than twelve years I have suffered from Indigestion and Nervous Dyspepsia. I have suffered intensely during that time and have spent large sums of money in the employment of St. Louis’ prominent physicians. Aside from this I have had recourse, I believe, to nearly every medicine on the. market, supposed to be infallible in such cases as mine—and many gallons of hot water have been used by physicians in washing (internally) my stomach. But all to no avail; the relief afforded was only temporary. Of late J have given up all thoughts of every being * permanently cured. Some time ago I started to use Ripans Tabules at the suggestion of my son, who advised me to try them. Since then I can say I am feeling daily some better. I take one Tabule after each meal and I can now look forward to meal-time with a pleasure I haven’t experienced for years. Also the headaches that have affair was a vast ‘job,’ and I believe that any Grand Jury would find a true bill on the evidence that comes to us from America.“ Now come the holders of Government bonds protesting against the restoration of silver to its rightful place as the money of the country, and railing against its sup- porters in bedlam fashion because they dare assert that the American people can in thai event redeem their bonds in that coin. Evil communication must Have vitiated your moral sense and weakened your mental vis- ion. Where does repudiation come in? If we redeemed our bonds in the present silver token money it would not be repudiation. If we redeem them.im the silver primary flow back into the ordinary channels after the elections, all question of stringency in money will be set at rest for good. The only thing that could again develop higher money rates cannot be used as a bear fac- tor in the stock market, for such a devel- i opment could be nothing short of a great national revival in trade enterprise and speculation. The country seems indeed to be on the threshold of such a revival. But for the. unique influences operative in the financial situation this summer and fall, it ig safe to say that the stock market would ere this have been the scene of a rampant speculation. Not since 1879 have the general features of the situation been as favorable for such an outcome. said Jackson in his farewell address, un- questionably intended to secure the people a circulating medium of gold and silver.“ There is no safety for the national f- nances, but in the constitutional medium of gold and silver,“ declared Thomas H. Ben- ton in 1836. “Money in the constitutional sense means coins of gold and silver fabri- cated and stamped by authority of law as a measure of value pursuant to the power vested in Congress by the Consitution,” said Mr. Justice Clifford of the Supreme Court in 1871. 1 believe gold and silver to be the money of the Constitution, indeed the money ofthe American people anterior to the Constitution, which that great or ganic law recognized as quite independent thio country, and-the knowledge that free » whe m the United States meant higher rices for the product of the United States, is undoubted. Europe has many times viewed with equanimity claims of short crops in this and other exporting countries without becoming wildly excited over such claims and laying in supplies as they have this season. But Europe has never before gone up against a combination of short supplies and the certainty of free silver in the United States, and it is no wonder the foreigners became alarmed. ir purchases in this country have 8 enormous. This ts shown in that top crop has been killed through that section. The Liverpool Corn Trade News says: At resent we purpose reckoning on a total ussian crop of 40,000,000 qrs., compared with 50,000, in 1895, 52,000,000 in 1894 and 58,000,000 in 1893.

Whence this insane hatred of the silver dollar which for eighty-one years was the unit of value in the monetary system of the country, end which gave us prosperity and strength? Methinks I hear you reply in the fashionable the single item of ocean Not done have ocean rates of freight doubled through the wonderful, demand for vessel room, but gli the vessel room obtain- able has been engaged up to Jan. 1. and a very large amount up to February. This means an extraordinary amount of wheat and flour is to be moved across the water the reserves, so small a proportion of these latter being visible. So far this season ex- ports have been at the rate of about 200,000 ars per week, from which we might infer a total exportation during the season of about §8,000,000 bu.

Red, 1½ De per Ib; 1%-Id, f As in 1879, so this year, the country is emerging from a pretracted period of de- pression in business and contraction of credit. In the speculative markets there has been a succession of panics. This year the depression culminated in the worst general conditions in many years. The country constantly harassed me in the past—and the accumulation of gases upon my stomach have disappeared. These improvements I attribute to Ripans Tabules. collectively and citizens individually have been forced to economize. The process was an unpleasant one, but it has proved whole- some. The small scale upon which produc- tion has been conducted has resulted in the smallest supplies of merchandise in the hands of manufacturers and distributors in years. Everybody and everything has been in consequence affected. Relief has come at last and from a variety of sources. As in 1879, the country’s crops, which are in fair volume, are selling at advancing prices, owing to shortages in the harvests of our ignorance of the day that you do not want a 50-cent dollar. You may as well tell me that you don’t want a square circle. Must I remind you or inform you that even under demonetization we have no such thing as a 50-cent dollar? We may be said to have a gold dollar with a 50-cent tail—a sort of financial comet which. travels in no fixed orbit. Sine lege vagatur. Again you reply, the intrinsic value of the silver dollar is regulated by the market, but in the market the bullion value of our dollar is only 50 cents; therefore, the intrinsic value of our during the next three months, and this whent. when it does leave the country, 1s gone for g It is more than doubtful whether this country can spare all that has been sold for export, not alone to Europe, but Australia, India and South Africa. If visible supplies do not begin before very long to run down hill it will be surprising as it is certain that country reserves are low.

But why speak of Archbishop Hughes in connection with the present campaign? Do you wish me to infer that because Archbishop Hughes ren- dered eminent services to his country in the cause of the Union,. he would now doubtless raise his voice against the hon- est appeals of a suffering 2 in the cause of justice and right? If such is your opinion I tell you that you insult the mem- ery of that great churchman, You forgot to remind me of the services of Arch- bishop Ireland in furtherance of partisan politics. I presume you knew it would be offensive to my moral sense. Had you read his recent utterances before writing me I can imagine how gladly you would have quoted his intemperate language in refer- ence to the Chicago platform. Let me as- sure you in advance that Archbishop Ire- land’s advocacy of any measure has very little weight with thoughtful men. He has zeal, but not according to knowledge. He has been well styled the consecrated blizzard of the North. He loves to play amidst warring elements. Archbishop Ire- land reminds me of the sporting Irishman who remarked to, his friend: “Isn’t that a rattling fight?” “So it is,” said the other. Well, I Tus it,” said he. This ecclesiasti- cal storm king has rus“ many a “rattling’”’ fight in the ecclesiastical arena, and now as we are settling down to peace and unity once more up he comes again to do battle in an arena more congenial to his nature— the fleld of partisan politics. It is amusing to receive financial advice from such a source, from a man who has just been de- fae ang bankrupt.

Weath- er conditions from now on will have great influence with corn, but it can be stated that more confidence is shown in the long side by many traders and not so many are keen to sell. * = * The Daily American Bulletin says of flour —An active and excited trade on the first two days of the week changed to a very quiet business when prices were advanced on account of the rise in wheat and later on when the market became unsettled, buyers and seliers could not come to terms. The freight situation was perhaps the greatest obstacle to foreign business, as the scarcity of ocean tonnage has become so pronounced that agents have been ordered not to let any more shipments come to the seaboard before December. It other steamers plying in far Eastern trade would be brought into American trade, but as yet no additional tonnage has been avail- able. There was a free interchange of ca- ble bids and offers, but the~bids were not full up tO the advance. There was a dispo- sition to continue purchases and a well de- fined turn in wheat would no doubt bring them in as steady buyers. The domestic trade was fairly active, but was affected the same as the foreign trade, as buyers were slow to come up to their prices. Ship- ments for the week were 63,387 bbls, of which 41,146 South, 19,412 East and 2,829 North and West, against 53,348 last week, 60,415 last ear.

Beginning with cotton, the advance has spread through the grain markets, pro- visions, leather and wool. The week’s stock market reflected the improvement in the general] situation, hav- ing been active and generally strong. Out- Side interest is still on a small scale, but it is increasing. Foreign operations have been confined to arbitrage transactions. Brokers’ Offices, as a rule, are carrying only small lines of stocks, so it may be assumed that the floating supply is in strong hands. The advances in prices have been the re- sult, not so much of an active buying de- mand as of the quiet appreciation in val- ues that is noticeable in all lines of busi- ness. The stock market after the elections will be most interesting. Unless all signs fail, there will take place then a great re- adjustment of prices, which will reflect the radically changed condition of the trade and finances of the whole country.

The Major Enjoined Them to Have Confidence, the Mainstay of Prosperity. CANTON, O., Oct. 24.—Patriotic airs by bands, national tunes by drum corps, cheer- ing and shouting by men marching and par- ading.and large and ethusiastic crowds on and about the McKinley lawn marked the opening hours of another big day in the cam- paign. Special trains.began arriving before daylight this morning and special trains came in at short intervals during the after- noon, Many delegations had been formally announced and arranged for, and others came in without warning. They were all received at the depats by the Citizens’ Re- ception Committee, detachments of the Can- ton troops of horsemen, bands and escort clubs and taken to the McKinley home, where there was almost eontinuous speak- ing, either by the Major himself or by lead- — of the delegations introducing the visit- The weather was delightful and people stood around in the bright sunshine watoh- ing the movements of the new arrivals and entering 3 the demonstration of the day. Mai. Kinley did a great deal of handshaking during the early part of the day, but, as on previous Saturdays since the pilgrimages began, the crowds soon became too large for that. The little stand was again on the front, so that the crowd could be assembled all around the speakers. Hon. Charles Emory Smith o Philadelphia arrived this morning and spent some time on the stand and in the study with Maj. McKinley. The first delegation to-Jay came from Leb- anon City, Lebanon County; Reading, Berks County; Schuylkill County, and contiguous territory in Pennsylvania. Then came members of the Hardwo24 Lumber Exchange and the Builders and Trades Exchange of Chicago. A delegation followed of New York Re- publicans from Elmira,.Corning, Bath, Hor- ete et * Jamestown. eyeral hundre eople came fr — Kane County, Pa. n e Another delegation was made up largely of road men in the employ of the Chi- cago, Rock Island & Pacific Road from Horton, Kan., Elden, Io., Trenton, Mo. ani Fort Wayne, Ind., the latter party including representatives of all branches of railroads. en the Western railroad men vacated the lawn their places were taken by a large mtr of iron and steel workers from Cam- ridge, O., and the employes of the tin- 3 * rat peace. elegation of colored workingmen from Pittsburg, c@ming from the mills, from offices and from the various walks of life, filed upon the lawn as the Cambridge men filed out. The crowd was a particularly en- thusiastic and demonstrative one. About fifty school teachers attending the Northeastern Ohio Teachers’ Institute at Cleveland this week came to Canton at 1:30 this afternoon to pay their respects to Maj. McKinley. Maj. McKinley received them person@ly, shaking each by the hand, but did not make a formal address to them. One of the larger delegations of the day was composed of employes of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Co., east of Crestline, who arrived on a special train over the Ft. Wayne Road at 2 p. m., and were joined here by the employes of the Toledo & Hocking Valley Railroad, the Toledo & Ann Arbor Railroad employes and railroad men employed on various roads entering Tiffin and Mansfield. Half a hundred lady stenographers em- ployed principally in the offices of the Good. rich & Co., and the Whitman & Barnes Co. at Akron came to pay their respects to the Republican nominee. Maj. McKinley was kept busy making speeches all day. He was in good voice and seemed. pleased with his many visitors, A few of his speeches follow: ; To the Pennsylvania delegation he said: My fellow-citizens: Igwe hearty and sincere welcome to my fellow-citizens of Lebanon, Berks and Chester counties. for the great State of Pennsylvania. The heart of the American people is al- Ways right. You can safely submit any great public question with confidence to the American people. Mr. Lincoln once said that there was no safer tribunal on earth than the American people and if the Almighty ruler of the universe is on our side or on your side that side would surely prevail. The aspiration of the Amer- ican people is for advancement, for ad- vancement in the march of progress to- wards the realization of the highest desti- ny for this, the freest government on earth. What our people want is an oppor- tunity for work, an opportunity for honest labor, an opportunity to develop the great resources which God has given us; an Op- portunity to work out the high and glori- ous destiny, not only for ourselves, but for all mankind—for the higher the destiny we achieve for ourselves, the better and the more we benefit all the races of mankind. Now it occurs to me that before the ople of this coutnry can be expected to ‘have confidence in that wing of the Demo- cratic party that is now in control of its Organization, before we can be expected to intrust it with further power or of con- trol of the Government and accept its prom- ise that with free silver will come better 3 times to all of us—that before we do that t seems to-me the Democratic party ought t ake good the loss it has entailed upon in the last three years and a_ halt. They can hardly expect us fidence in their present prescription, when the ‘prescription thet they gave us in 1892 and which they imsisted was the cure for all our troubles ‘was so complete a failure. They now say thé present n entirely different from the old one, will our difficulties, and it does seem to me that they are asking a great deal of confidence from the American peo- ple, (Applause.) We cannot very well for- ‘get their former deception, for the people Were decelved. Their policy only injured the people of this country in their occupations, not only injured the great manufacturi and mining and farming industries of the coun- try, but it almost wrecked the public tress- ty.

I congratuate you for the magnificent progress the city of Chica- go has made, for the greatest achieve- ments known to the countries of the world have been those of the great city of Chi- cago.

Nellie Used It With Good Effect, but Came to Grief. Sperial to the Post-Dispatch. NDW YORK, Oct. A.- The moon was full and so was Nellie Archibald, 50 years old, and colored. Policeman Mahaffy found mer asleep yesterday morning in Minetta lane. When awakened she said: I will take a hot whiskey,” but when her eyes became aware of the glint of brass buttons, she shouted. murder,“ and said so many bad words that the lane was awakened and its. windows decorated with studies in black and white. é The officer was mad and rushed Nellie out of the lane with a series of well directed rib roasters. Suddenly she seated herself, and, elevating one of her legs, began to use it like a battering ram upon the officer. The first the officer reeling. The second did the same. The third exposed to his gaze the fact that the limb was made of wood. He was drawing his club when the woman touched a spring and the wooden leg sprang from its base, and flew across the street knocking a can of beer out of the hand of an early growler bird. She was sent to the Work-house. The Starr Piano. The manufacture of a strictly first-class high grade piano is a work of art and there are comparatively few in the United States. For many years there were only two ac- knowledged standards. The Starr Piano has been gradually forging its way to the front and at the World's Fair came into competi- tion with the best makes from all parts of the world and received the award of merit. They have also received the most flattering indorsement of many leading artists at home and abroad. The. Jesse French Piano and Organ Company of this city, one of the largest of its kind in Amer- ica, are manufacturers of this celebrated instrument and it is with some degree 2f pride we invite our readers to call and examine this popular make at their mam- moth ware rooms, corner Tenth and Olive streets. They also manufacture the Rich- mond Piano, which has become so popular on account of its superior merits and mod- erate price. In buying from them you deal direct with the manufactureer and save all middleman's profits. If you can’t call, write them, as a 2-cent stamp may save you many dollars. rod sen J Riot in British India. — 1 Ont.

GOT INTO THE SIXTIES AT CHI- CAGO AGAIN. CABLES WERE DEPRESSING. Which in Addition to Large Arrivals of Spring Wheat Sent the Staple Downward. CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—The wheat market got back into the 60s to-day under semi-demor- alization of holders, who were nonplussed this morning at finding Liverpool opening cables showing a decline of 2%d in the face of our advance yesterday. The market was extremely nervous all through the session, but with a steady downward tendency. About the only support given to prices was by holders of puts and the few lucky ones who stood short over night. December wheat at one time showed a loss of 4c from yesterday’s close, but recovered %c near the end on an advance at Paris equal to 20030 per bushel. Corn and oats were com- paratively firm, on big cash demand, show- ing declines at the closé of 4@%c and %c respectively. Provisions were firm, closing about unchanged, on hog receipts of 16,000 and big cash transactions in products, The price prevailing at the close of yes- terday’s session was 78c for December wheat. The first transactions this morning were at from wn to oc. A sale or two in the confusion 6f the start was made at 69% and very little at that moment brought over 70c, but in the course of the next half hour’s business there was a dual advance to 78%c. Besides the dis- couragement of the decline at Liverpool the heavy movement of spring wheat in the Northwest again held up its hands for recognition, and some eyes were turned to its contemplation that had previously been steadily looking in the direction of India, Australia and Africa, away over the mat- ters of more immediate concern which were W occurring. ‘Minneapolis and Duluth reported recel of 1,088 cars, compared with 835 Saturday of the week before and 1,116 the corre- sponding day vf last year. The week’s re- ceipts at those places num 7,549 car loads, against 6,664 the previous week and 7,39 4 year ago.

A good demand exist- | ed for shorts, also from the outside, and of- ferings were light. The later part of the session was of rather different nature and prices fell off, but rallied again before the close and showed but a small loss. Ma opened at 21½%, sold up to 21%c, dropped o to 21%c and was offered at Ahe at the close, showing a decline of %c since yesterday. Provisions were not affected to any extent by the market in the wheat pit. The offer- ings of the hog products were quite incon- siderable and, while no one bid for much there was no trouble in placing the small offerings. The business was notable for rothing but its quiet firmness. The run of hogs was 16,000 head. January pork opened at from $7.80 to $7.85, rose to $7.95 and closed as it did yesterday, at 7. 876. Lard and ribs each pursued a similar course, closing in the end at the same priee as on the day before. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 220 cars; corn, 999 cars; Oats, 408 cars, Hogs, 40,000 head. SLUMP AT NEW YORK. — — — An Exciting Day, With a Fall of Over Four Cents. NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—The wheat market ended the week as it began it—in a whirl of excitement. [st Monday the bulls pushed December up to 86 11-16 and to-day the bears ground it down to 76%c: The break of 84 to 4%4c to-day was based on an unex- pected decline of 2%@2%d in the Liverpool cable.

(THE ONE FOR CAPITAL REMOVAL Is THE MOST IMPORTANT. SEDALIA’S CLAIMS PRESENTED. What Is Necessary for Removal Be- sides the Adoption of the Amend- “a ment at the Polls. As the time for the election approaches more interest is being manifested in the several constitutional amendments which are to be voted upon by the people of Mis- gouri. The first and perhaps the most im- portant of these amendments is that pro- widing for or authorizing the removal of the State Capital from Jefferson City to Sedalia. Representatives of the rival cities are presenting their claims throughout the State, and Sedalia in particular is making @ very active campaign. State Senator Charles E. Yeater, who thas been in St. Louis during the past week urging the claims of Sedalia, was seen at the Planters’ Hotel yesterday by a Post-Dispatch re- porter and asked what he had to say re- garding the situation and prospects. His reply was: “Well, among other things I think the eat newspapers ,of the State should ex- plain the amendment so that the voters can have a correct understanding of it.“ Do you mean that the people are misled bout any feature of the amendment?” “Yes,” said Mr. Yeater. “Now, you would hardly believe it, but there are a great many people throughout the State who think that if the amendment is adopted iby a majority vote it will move the capital to Sedalia.” aes Then such would not be the case: 2 “Why, certainly not,“ was the reply, but why should I say so in view of the fact that my statement would be thought to come from a prejudiced source. I will say that the adoption of this amendment by the le alone will no more remove the capital Sedalia than it will remove St. Louis across the Mississippi River. It will be re- membered that the people of Jefferson City brought an injunction suit, known as the case of Edwards vs. Lesueur, by which they attempted to prevent the voters of Mis- gouri from having the privilege of voting on this question. The Supreme Court, how- | ever, rendered a decision in the case on the Sth day of last February. Anybody so in- clined can find the decision in this case in volume 33 of the Southwestern Reporter. Therein the court said that the right to vote is sacred and the application of the Jefferson City people meant disfranchise- ment to that extent and could not be toler- @ted. At the top of page 1134 it will be geen that the Supreme Court of Missouri used this omnes — ieee about the capital oval amendment: rem. will be observed also that the amend- ment does not propose to effect a change in the location of the seat of government, but to provide the means by which a change can be effected.“ “Well, Mr. Yeater, what does the Su- eme Court mean by such words?’ “Simply that if the amendment was adopted 4 way would be provided by which it would be possible to remove the capital. That way is set forth in the amendment itself and Gov. Stone fully explained it in the statement he made on the 18th here in this hotel. By the way, I would like to find fault with the Post-Dispatch. On the 19th the Post-Dispatch published a special tele- gram from Jefferson City containing a re- port of what some gentleman there told a reporter of the Tribune to the effect that Gov. Stone had said that the guaranty bond furnished by Sedalia was worthless. Now, the Governor made a statement to me, rep- Tesenting “ ialia, and to Mr. John §ulli- van, the couvict labor contractor and man- ufacturer of saddle-trees, who represented Jefferson City, in which he said the Seda- ‘dia bond eaoe pratectes the State and that the State could not possibly lose a dollar by the removal of the capital. Gov. Stone dic- tated this statement to his official stenogra- ere Mr. Al Morrow, who gave both Mr. ullivan and myself a copy on the I7th. Notwithstanding this, on the 18th some one im Jefferson City sends your paper a tele- @ram saying the Governor had said that the Sedalia bond is worthless. Mr. Sullivan took his copy of the Governor's authorized statement home to Jefferson City, but it has never been given to the people. I gave my copy to the Chronicle and the Republic and both papers did me the courtesy to publish it. Unfortunately, there is being malled all over the State from Jefferson ty this first report of the Governor’s state- , which he contradicted here. is extremely unfair and will deceive the people about the facts.“ “Well, what did Gov. Stone say, if you a you ought to get it before the peo- : p se “The Governor explained the capital re- moval amendment in these words, which are his words, now, and not mine. He said to ! for publication to the people of Mis- 80 * As I interpreted the proposed constitu- | tional amendment and the statute under | Which the bond was executed, the capital would remain undisturbed at Jefferson City even though the proposed amendment should be adopted by a majority vote of the people; that there would be no change in that respect until the requirements of the amendment should be wholly complied with. That is to say, until the land had ‘been bought and paid for and a clear title made to the State, and until the capitol buildings been erected thereon in accordance with the plans and specifications adopted by the board, composed of State officers all without expense to the State, and until that board accepted the same and issued their public proclamation to that effect; that when that was done the seat of gov- ernment would be transferred by operation of law from Jefferson City to Sedalia,’ “Now, don’t get me mixed up with the Governor. Bear in mind the Governor said that, and whatever any man may think about Gov. Stone as a public man, every man who knows him knows that he is ab- solutely fearless and never hesitates to tell | the truth, let it cut where it may. But that is not all that the Governor said, and your per, having been the innocent means of eceiving the people with the Jefferson City statement of the Governor, owes it to those Same people to inform them what the Gov- , @rnor really said.’’ — at this further language of the Gov- por: “New the securities filed with the Gov- eruor could only indemnify the State against an losses it might suffer by reason of the adoption of the constitutional amendment and the failure of Sedalia to comply with its term. My view was and jis that the Stat“ wceuld suffer no loss if the require- ments of the proposed amendment were anny complied with and until they were Hy complied vith there would be no change in the seat of Government.

So you have twenty-five sworn offi- cials acting under oath against one not act- ing under oath or in his official capacity. That beats the ratio of 16 to 1. Mr. Walker is honest and sincere and he will admit that he has been mistaken and overruled by the Supreme Court like any other lawyer ee —ĩů 2 “It is queer how tnoughtless some le are. Even if the bond law is invalid oad ant constitutional it does not affect the bond. The bond could have been given and would have been rfecfly good without any law whatever. This law did not require the peo- ple to give the bond and they could have re- fused to give it. In fact, as the Governor has practically said, the people are perfect- ly safe without any bond. But here is some- thing the Attorney-Generai did not mention and that is that the removal amendment it- self provides for this bond in these very words: ‘Any person or persons may ¢eposit with the.Governor sufficient securities or obligations to guarantee the erection of such buildings.’ Every lawyer knows that the Federal Constitution forbids any State from adopting any law, constitutional or other- wise, which impairs the obligation of a con- tract, and every sound lawyer knows that any State can pass a law upholding and confirming the obligation of a contract.” Well, what point do you make on that proposition, Mr. Yeater?’ : “Why, simply this, that even admitting Mr. Walker to be right, what he claims amounts to nothing for the very day the people adopt the removal amendment, that very day this clause in the amendment which I have pointed out confirms and rati- fies the guaranty bond. So all these state- ments against Sedalia turn out to be roor- backs. I must admit, however, that by wait- ing until the very last days before election to spring them it becomes difficult to ex- Now, of the fom 4 | plain them. It would have been fairer to the people to make all months ago. Now there is one other thing which ought to be said for the information of the people.

Senatorial Candidate Trying to Force His Opponent Off the Ticket. Saloonkeeper Charlie Schweickardt, Re- publican, who expects to be elected to rep- resent, the Thirty-first Senatorial District in the next General Assgmbly, is hot on the trail of a gentleman whom he designates ‘one John P. -Collins,’’ ‘Democrat, who is an aspirant for the same honor. Yesterday the saloonkeeper filed a peti- tion with the Board of Wiection Com- missioners, praying that the name of the undertaker be not allowed to appear on the official ballot to be voted Nov. 3. In support of this prayer he states his first objection as follows: “Said Collins had, prior to the date and filing of the said certificate, been regularly nominated by the Democratic party in said district, by a regular convention of said party as the Democratic candidate for the office aforesaid at the ensuing election, and had accepted said nomination, and a certificate of such election is on file in this office. And, having been so nominated by a delegate convention for said office, and having accepted the nomination made by such convention, and a certificate of such nomination having been filed and accepted these objections according to law, any further nomination |_ attempted to be made by electors is irregu- lar, illegal and void, and cannot be recog- |- nized and does not entitle said Collins to have his name placed on the ballot as a — for the office nominated by elec- ors.” Saloonkeeper Schweickardt further alleges that said certificate of nomination is not bona fide, but is filed as a mere trick and device to procure the placing of the said Collins’ name in two places on the ballot, and thereby create confusion and mistake and lead to errors on the part of voters who intend to vote for the undersigned and the acceptance of said certificate an the placing of said Collins’ name on said ballot 8 as a candidate nominated by electors will lead to confusion and er- rors in voting and will prejudice the un- dersigned.”’ ' There are other minor charges, all of which go to. show that the tall sycamore }» from Seventh and Pine is not only afraid that Collins will give him.a mighty good run for his money, but will beat him under the wire by several lengths. No action has been taken by the Board. NO AID FROM JIM BUTLER. He Refused to Join the Schweickardt Aid Society. James J.

SOME FINED, SOME LET GO. Prisoners Who Commit All Manner of Crimes, From Canning Beer to Attempted Murder. When Judge Peabody pressed the button Saturday morning and set the machinery of the First District Police Court in motion there was a clanking of bolts and rods and a dull crushing of bones, but the grist was small. Quite a number of victims were jJaid over for next week owing to various circumstances; the cases of others were nolle pross’d, for reasons best known to City Attorney Harry Clover, the inveterate Seem cal and others were let off with the peyment of costs, much to their individual elight. It was the regular Saturday grind. The real trouble of the week never comes until Saturday night and Monday is the time that See Four Courts fairly reeks with lamenta- “tion. - Reminiscences of jags that were sweet while they were in full bloom rise up jo smite their owners like a boomerang and black eyes loom up like patches of perdi- tion to remind the wearers of the little argument” that brought them into conflict with the powers that be.

Grief is here and grief is there, and grief is everywhere, with not a single condi- tion to alleviate its sting. It is the same old song—an ordinance fractured, the peace of the community disrupted, the inevitable ar- rest, the anticipated fine, the Black Maria, the Work House, thirty days—then right back to the old life. When Daniel Buckley appeared in the Po- lice Court Saturday morning to answer ‘a eh e of “refusing to vacate” he wore an air of injured innocence and a suit of clothes that had seen better days. Like all young men who appear before that famous tribunal, Daniel was innocent. He was in a saloon in the lower part of town when Patrolman George Fay entered An Organization of Ladies Where Practical Questions Are Discussed. Among the many more intellectual feat- ures of St. Louis social life, quite the most interesting is the Current ‘Topics Club, whereat the ladies who are usually sup- posed to be most unversed with the details of ge —.— questions discuss them with an intelligence that would put to the blush the understanding of them in the minds of mocking men. Of all these current topic clubs or circles, one of the most interesting is that which is conducted by Miss May Simonds. This. club will meet during the winter every Friday morning at 11 o'clock at the pretty residence of rs. R. Graham Frost, 3538 Pine street, Of the distinction and accom- plishments of the lady who has given her home for the purposes of this club’s dis- cussion nothing need be said. Miss Simonds who is what may be called the lecturer o the circle, and conducts in most excellent and cheery style the sprightly monologues upon the topics which range m grave to gay, from lively to severe, comes of one of St. Louis’ oldest families.

Michael McCarty is a nice young man who claims tobe a bricklayer and to live on Cass avenue, near Twenty-first street, but the police aver that Mickey is a ladies’ man by profession, an idler by habit, and that he makes his headquarters at a dove nest on Clark avenue. He took one of the brood, Julia Lee, under his cial supervision, and lavished his affections on her, with the expectation that she would cough the necessary funds when he stood in Need of a new suit, a meal ticket or any other luxury of a similar nature. Everything went very well for about a year unttl a few days ago. Times were hard with Julia, and when Mickey called at 1 o’clock a. m. and asked for coin she was compelled to tell him nay. Mickey forthwith proceeded to put a bright ma- genta trimming on her countenance. One of the other girls ran into the street, screaming, and called Patrolman Massey. Mickey was arrested. He looked so neat and nice that Judge Peabody just nat- urally hated to fine him, but in view of the fact that he had been before the court three times in three. weeks, the Judge put aside his aesthetic feelings and fined him $50. Florence Lilliard is one of the swellest colored ladies that ever illuminated the Police Court with her presence. She wore a dove-colored walking hat, pierced through and through with a glittering pin with a knob on the end as big around as an onion. The heavy woolen dress she wore was trimmed with giddy white lace, and a row of it extended perpendicularly from her chin to a point near the center of gravity. She must have had money, for she said eyeth- er“ and “‘nyther” as gliblx as a 14-year-old boy calls for a little more of the ham and gravy. Florence holds forth at 633 South Sixth street. She appeared as a complainant against Millie Adams, an undersized young woman with a complexion like a smoke- stack. Millie was jealous, and had been flourishing a Knife and ralsing a disturb- ance generally.

He became chummy with the young En- glishman and even went so far as to indorse a check of his for $475. As this check turned out to be worthless, the distinguished Rus- sian-French-American found himself in some embarrassment and called upon the law to extricate him. _ Moncreiffe first came to America along in June.

He has a brother in this country who owns aranch in the West. The young Englishman had not been in this city long when he met Count Sainte Croix. The latter has a bit of sporting blood in his own veins and he did not find association with the Britisher at all disa- greéable.

Sir Charles Gibson had been a sort of sponsor for him in St. Louis, and the Russian di not want him to think that he had. gone into a scheme to swindle his gon. Meantime Moncreiffe kept promising to pay. He also kept on playing the races. He would get money front home and blow it in against the ponies with a consistency and persistency that was altogether dis- heartening to his indorser. Finally Moncreiffe made his plans to leave St. Louis. He did not attempt to conceal his going from his chum, but told him that if he could not get the money from his brother, who was going back to England with him, he would get it from his parents after landing on the other side.

This Is the Season When the Waltonite ‘Delights | to Fish. 3 Well Known St. Louisans Who Are Experts With the Bamboo Rod. A Queer Contest Between Dan Able and Congress- man Cobb—Where the Fish Are the ‘‘Bitenist,’’ Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. When Indian summer touches the fo- liage with its magic colors and the soft, dreamy atmosphere lies on the hills like pale amber clouds, the best fishing season of the year is at hand in this neck of the woods. , From the head waters of the mountain Btreams that fret their way through the rock-ribbed Ozarks clear down to the cy- press bordered lakes and rivers of the Southeast, the bass are about and eager for the lure or the juicy chub; the jack salmon lies in wait in the deep pools for the tempting morsels the anglers bring to his lair, and great schools of that juicy pan fish, the croppie, are hungry and full of vitality. Even the little sun perch, as the natives call the sunfish, will snap at Bny bait dropped in his vicinity. These are the halcyon days for the 8t. by the same hands. But to-day many of the old crowd have became members of the St. Francis Hunting and Fishing Club, and the days of Camp Prather are fast beoomin reminiscent. Younger mien go to the B River now, and many of them, but only a few of the pioneers brave the hardships of camp life. Ex-Gov. Brockmeyer, the recent acquisi- tion to the goldbug camp,still makes trips to Black River, and when the election is over will go down with others of his faith to seek consolation in the golitudes that breed game and fish in Arkansas. Brock- meyer is one of the most experienced and acientific of the down river crowd. He is a picturesque figure in his hunting and fish- ing togs, and is considered a great student of natural history. He loves to wander away in the forest for big game, while his com- panions bask in the sunshine on the river, calmly awaiting the bass or jack salmon to toy with their hooks. Brockmeyer is known as “The Deerslayer,” for he is undoubtedly the keenest-eyed woodsman among the old- ; * 1 , «4 1 ae ee — 7 J ' up Le 70 _ , a A — ** 75 as La 7 „ j ; 2 77 Vi “al? ~!

A PLEA FOR THE “NEW WOMAN.” ANALYZE HER DAILY LIFE AND SHE IS AN IMPROVEMENT ON THE OLD STYLE. For the past two years the country has been agitated about what has been called fhe “new woman.” A woman that is to be born again, who will hold in her hands not only the reins of government In the house- bold, but an executive power over business, leaving man far behind (if she can), in all the lesser and even the greater walks of life. And so, when thinking of this old thread- bare subject, one naturally asks the ques- tion: Is there really any difference between wife of an able Augustus Brown, the all-around physician. She is a nervous, woman, always work.ng—a teacher in elo- eution in the mornings or afternoons, an actress at n ght, of charming manners; loyal to her friends, just to herself. F Among she good-looking suffrage women Mrs. John Judge in a way holds the palm, She is a theo:ophist, a spiritualist, an ex- yonent of women’s rights and belongs to nany clubs, but is no more the advanced women in her daily life than those of 1:0 years ago. A most domestic creature and delights in giving children's part.eés, Her greatest joy is to make them happy. Last season she gave a celler party, in which she dressed in true Holland costume and gave a regular Dutch supper below stairs. W nen- ever you hear a woman say My husband does this and likes that“ there is not much of the new woman about her. She is the same piece of feminine simplicity that has conquered men for ages and will do so until the judgment day. a Now, to a “laoker on in Venice,” Mrs. Charles Avery Doremus might, by some, be considered the “new woman.” The dramatist of the Circus Rider,.“ Four-In-Hand’’ and other good plays, which she springs on the public each season—Mrs. Doremus—is a Southern woman, a grea lover of home, and the cuisine is one of her chief joys. links. NOW COMES THE WINTER SHIRTWAIST TT IS MADE OF FLANNEL AND IS 4S FETCHING AS THE SUMMER KIND. All fall the women have clung to the shirt- waist with a tenacity and indifference to the decree of Dame Fashion that is un- paralleled in the history of the sex. Some of them have been heard to declare fre- quently that no matter how antiquated the shirtwaist bécame, they would not give the pretty, neat, comfortable and conven-- ient garment up. Although the autumn is far advanced the ladies are still wearing shirtwaists in dark colors under heavy jackets. Just when the devotees of this garment were becoming. quite desperate for fear they would be forced against their wills to give up their favorite garment some bene- factor to womankind ap rs upon the scene with a substitute for the summer shirtwaist, the winter shiftwaist. This garment whose advent has been hailed with delight is very much like the summer shirtwaist, it being made with a round yoke in the back, the same full front and same style of cuff fastened with cuff The neck is finished by a plain band over which a 3 linen collar is worn, a dainty little ribbon frill being fixed about the cuff to keep the cold out. The sleeves of the new waist are much smaller than the summer waist sleeve. The winter waist is made of plain flannel, unlined but beautifully finished. They are not only made in the dark shades of flannel, but are made of the delicate shades of blue, pink and red. The flannel waist buttons up in front while the silk waist is worn with studs. Never has a new garment met with contempt for the ‘ — notice the tg 22 n 0 see a sensible . in waist line. It is no considered r to have a wasp waist and if you are afflicted with such a thing you must eave your corset laces as loose as pos- Sible and if necessary increase the size your waist just as hipless girls build themselves hips where nature has ne- Slected to put any. There is a great deal of talk about the proportions of Venus, and the more stately Juno, but women, in eir race after something new and start- ing, forget that they cannot develop the proportions of a Venus and wear the fash- onable garments of the present age. One of the autumn brides who holds a prominent place in the world of society and fashion will be married in her travel- ing gown, which is a dream of beauty judging from a woman’s standpoint. It is a harmony in brown, the material being broadcloth, 8 simply made by one of the best tailors in the city. She will wear a lovely Gainsborough ee covered with waving ostrich plumes and pretty brown birds’ wings in different shades of the same color. The same young lady has a new seal skin coat that is the envy of all her friends. It is cut after the very latest fashion, tight about the body, with a ripple over the hips that is extremely fetching. a Browns and greens are much worn and, after purple and the craze for Russian vio- let, they are perhaps the most popular “shades. The day of the plain skirt is fast draw- ing to a close and soon we will see the over- skirt in all of its pristine glory.“ So speaks a St. Lou!s mod'ste who is considered au- thority upon all matters appertaining to dress and fashion. The only woman to whom the overskirt is a decided advantage is the tall, willowy woman, as the dumpy woman looks bad in it, and the tall fat woman looks even worse. The overskirt came into fashion two centuries ago and during the reign of Louis XIV. it was in- , dispensable to the foilet of a woman of | fashion, In 1876 the long overskirt was at its glory and the underskirt was often made of a different or contrasting material. It was a work of art to drape an overskirt gracefully and many a dressmaker won her reputation upon her ability to drape over- ekirts gracefully. The overskirt gradually isappeared until it was abolished alto- gether and the plain skirt has held its own , of the trimmed skirt became an assured thing this winter, and after that it was only one step now for years, until the revival] back to the overskirt. on St. Louis ladies, and I saw a distinctive overskirt made on a mourning gown during the most city you will the size of the en s pretty, and I have already seen several modified ones 2 nf ye — Nr bold danger o av } de ry eos een d it will n general THE BUTTERFLY BRACELET. Fads of Some Fashionable Women Lead Toward Garish Display. Bracelets are booked to make their re- appearance in the fashionable world. This does not mean that the lady of many jewels can go to the bottom of her jewel box and resurrect the pretty armlets that have lain there since it was the fashion to wear these ornaments. She must have brand pew ones or wear none at all. The butterfly bracelet is most conspicuous among the new fancies. It is to be worn be- tween the elbow and the shoulder, and on no account about the wrist. It is fo ofa perfectly plain, tight-fitting band of Wexible gold, clasped with a large gold jewel-be- spangied butterly. The costly insect is go poised that at every movement of the wear- er’s arm the gleaming pinions tremble, open and shut. It is a magnificent ornament, and usually the most conspicuous thing about the wearer’s person. But the craze for jewels does not stop here. As gloves must be worn with evening gowns, the latest fancy dictates that jewels must be worn outside the gloves. n the first place the gloves themselves are jeweled. The back stitchings are oulined with gor- geous gems ‘the wrist buttons are of gold or of single stones set in diamonds, and the wrist line of the glove is often outlined by a band of jewels. D is the idea of wearing gor geous rings outside the gloved fingers. This ig actually being done at presen elers are enl ng rings and ma upon farmer settin for this espec p pose. This result dazzling, but it is not is certainly far from being in d taste.@It is a question how long the feweted glove will retain its present popu- y.

This is rather a lof ie is designed for strest wear. It is a Youll pretty accompaniment for a bia . the new woman and the old? Nota bit. A “New Woman” gives the answer, They will mend their stockings as in the old- fashioned way. Adore their husbands, if they have any, and if they have not, will marry when they can, taking as in the old- en times all domestic cares upon themselves end it is right that they should do so. But they will be just the same woman as of old, only more fascinating, more womanly, more charming than ever before. For the “new woman” is now @ composite of the old, with but one.new ingredient—more alive, more up-to-date, in all directions—her fem- mine traits really only a trifle more ad- vanced—rounded off—and polished up, than formerly. For some unknown reason women as a class are more given to fads than men. They like changes, believe in new ideas, rejoice in new movements, and are seekers after outside joys, and so to lighten their burdens, slip away once in awhile from the routine of home end are happy. Wom- en are exactly like.men, they love to be amused, and entertained.

A Few Simple Directions for Women Who Want Pretty Hands. Many women who are obliged to do work. that injures the delicate appearance of their hands, and who are yet unwilling to lose one of the most distinctive marks of refinement, find that they are quite capable of doing their own manicuring, and that the practice pays. Amateurs are usually astonished to find that manicuring is so simple and that the following directions suffice: Pour some warm watér in a bowl, unfold @ small towel and lay it on one knee; take the right hand and proceed to cut the nails in a semi-circle; then file the edges and steep the right hand in the water; then take the left hand and steep in its turn. Having carefully dried the hands push down the skin round the base of the nails with an ivory instrument; brush the nails over with some red pomade, wipe it off, and then polish with a Plain chamois- covered pad, rather small in size, using particularly fine polishing powder, till they shine. Then, to crown all, sprinkle on the hands and wrists and rub in some deliciously scented suc de camelia, which will at once make the skin look white, smooth and soft. Danger in Sponges.

The number of bolls on the stalks were in proportion to the other stupendous measurements. As high as twenty bolls to a single stalk were counted. On the ordinary cotton stalk four bolls is considered a good yield, The prod- uct of the African seed is equal to the best of the staple known. Jackson has offered ten cents a pound for his en- tire c of the new cotton, but he is hold- ing it for a rise. One of the peculiarities of this cotton is the fact that the stalks eafiess, When the stalk grows up eaves begin to sprout on it and after they have grown out for somg distance the fruit comes out from the stem of the leaf.

The average country boy is always ready and willing to tackle a bee’s nest, and run the risk of be- ing stung for the chances of robb the busy bees of their honey. Strange it is but true, that with no reward in ht, an the risk of worse stings, he is equally read and willing to tackle a wasp’s or hornet’s nest just for the fun of destroying it and the excitement attendant on the attack of the infuriated insects, One siing of bee, wasp or hornet is suf- ficiently painful, and productive of the most unpleasant result. One little ating will close an eye, and cause a highly inflamed lump to rise as D.g as a hen egg. But imagine being assaulted by a whole calony of hor- nets, with no means of defense, no coat of mail, no gunpowder, no means of even mak- ing a smoke. : hat was what befell T. A. Roberts of Des Moines, lo., and the surprising result was that when ald finally reached him, he was helplessly paralyzed and may n in that condition for the rest of his hfe. Roberts with three friends left Des, Moines for a hunting and fishing tour in the North- west, After several days of sport around Desolation Lake Argon, the ty started out one morning for the head of the lake after deer and Roberts took his fish- ing tackle along, and, on the way, seeing several trout rising, he was left on a huge snag in a sheltered part of the lake, while h.s companions kept on in the boat for the head of the lake, promising to return for him later. It was just at dawn when Roberts * fishing, and he had good fuck. But as the gun rose and began to warm the ground he noticed several hornets buzzing around him. Their numbers increased and he saw that they came from a hole in the roots of the snag at his feet. As the rays of the sun warmed them into acttvity the insects come out by thousands and they appeared to make @ concerted attack on the unlucky intruder. There was no escape. He was half a mile from shore, there was no way of starting a fire, and as a last resort, Roberts, fren- zied with pain jumped into the water, and held on by a root. That protected his body, but not his head. Of course he could not keep his head under water long at a time. With his free hand he fought the hornets the best he could, but they settled about his head and neck, and both hands, and he was frightfully stung. He was in this condition when his friends returned. At first they were unable to render him any aid. The hornets attacked them and they were forced to retreat. After considering what was best to do the party rowed to the nearest shore and se- cured a long pole, the butt end of which a hook was made by cutting off a limb, A jot of dry brush and moss was gath and fastened to the end of another long E pole, and the party returned to the snag, ng the precaution to button up their — 4 * handkerchiefs over their faces ‘“ eir hats well down over ther ears. en they neared the snag the brush and moss was set on fire and pushed out ahead on the drift, This drew the attack of the hornets, which rushed into the smoke and flame in scores, and while this was going on a boat-hook was inserted in Roberts’ clothing, and he was pulled into the boat more dead than alive. It was some time before he could tell his story. His head was swollen to twice its natural size, and the stings on the back of the neck, at the base of the skull, seemed Min * — — S Re “St: N * ae: 2 0 ? 4 un WONDERFUL AFRIO AN COTTON TREE THAT GROWS TWENTY FEET HIGH. ne | the extreme.

The fair inmates the moment they enter the school take the rank and al- erence of a maid of honor, wearing on their shoulders the insignia of the office in the form of jeweled monogram and crown. They are taught as part of their educational edurse all the rules and regulations of court etiquette. The maidens, two or three hundred in number, wear a uniform dress which has a peculiar sort of bodice compos of two separate parts, On ordinary occasions th are attached to one another by buttons an hooks and eyes. The upper portion forms a cape, close fitting and with sleeves, the latter being adorned with buttons from shoulder to wrist. Whenever the Emperor visits the school, i which he does periodically, it is the duty of each girl to remove the upper part of the bodice and the sleeves, leaving the arms, neck and shoulders bare, precisely as if she were arrayed in a very decollete ball dress. 81 is said that this spectacle has had its charms for various Russian Em- perors of the past.

These whales are harmless, and their at- tentions are merely from curiosity; but to have several of them floating in close prox- imity is not altogether pleasant.

On one trip the whale placed itself ahead of the steam- er and swam with it so deliberately that the captain was obliged to slow down and final- 4 stop, fearing to run into the huge crea- ure.

STRATEGY OF THE TURTLE, The Manner in Which It Captures Killifish for Food. The snapping turtle eats a variety of things; when it gets a chance it catches ana eats live fish, usually killifish. While the turtle is a pretty fair swimmer in its way, it can't begin to compete with the fish; It cap- tures the fish by strategy. When the tide comes in killifish come up the creeks in swarms, looking for food. The killifish is a scavenger; it will eat almost anything. Any scrap of food floating on the water is fastened upon, perhaps * — killi or by ten, or there may be a hundred killies struggling and pushing to get at it, and tearing off shreds and fragments when- ever they reach it. is is the turtle’s opportunity. e turtle, standing in the shallow water, edges toward the nearest killi, moving slow- ly and cautiously with its neck extended. it moves nearer it dually contracts its neck dra its head back toward its shell. ts * is the time getting closer to the Hin t ita: head is not.

The scientists say its habits were mostly those of the rhinoceros of to-day, but they unite in classifying it as the common ancestor of the wild and domestic hogs. Above the brontotherium beds Prof. Todd and the others found plenty of fossils of oreodons and turtles, most of the latter of enormous size, though some were only a. few inehes in length. Many skeletons of the oreodon, a pre-historic animal combin- ing the characteristics of the hog and deer, were as large as a sheep Four or five species of rodents and as many of carnivora were unearthed, none of the latter being larger than a dog. The professor found a complete specimen of that size, but it was in very small frag- incomplete ments. They also discovered specimens of a species of rhinoceros, a camel and one of the ancestors of the horse, the miohippus, which was no bigger than a Southdown sheep. In the Loup Fork beds, overlying the White River, they dug up specimens of water plants and fresh water shells and a few of the large bones of the mammoth and mastodon, most of which were very much under the weather. “Of the picturesque features of the ‘Bad Lands,“ said Prof. Todd to the writer, ‘there can scarcely be an exaggeration in language. Words fail to convey the con- tinual change of outlines, both beautiful and grotesque, which meet the eye of the traveler as he passes through this strange region. “Every one, as he passes through mile after mile of these startling forms,” tinued the professor, have caused this re The question is answered as follows: “The country is largely barren, because the formations are nearly impervious to water, so that most of the surface quickly becomes dry; and, although some species have evidently in certain seasons succeeded in establishing themselves upon these bar- ren surfaces, yet the usually prevailing dryness of the region almost completely prevents vegetation, except on the lower: unusually clear and tran one to have,” gaid >.

The result ts that all the veins and arteries are plainly visible and he looks like an animated anat- omical chart. The case baffies all physi- cians, and the only remedy would seem to be to graft new skin over the boy’s entire body, which, of course, would be imprac- ticable, if not impossible. His skin was parent when he was a baby, and, instead of growing thick- er and having more color as he grew older what color it possessed left it and by the time he was 12 years old he appeared at a distance as though all of the skin had been removed.“ FISH FROM THE BARTH'S BOWBIS A SPRING AND ITS DENIZENS WHICH REMAIN A MYSTERY NONE CAN SOLVE. Within a day’s ride of New York City lies the strangest fisherman’s paradise in the world. Choice specimens of mountain trout and other fish of equal delicacy appear in plenteous numbers, coming apparently from the bowels of the earth, There is nothing abdut these fish to mark them from others of their own sort, unless ft be that their flavor ig superior. They make their debut in the waters of the fa- mous Rock Spring, near Bellefonte. Both the spring and its inhabitants are mysteries no one has ever been able to solve. Most springs bubble from the ground and are always supposed to have a sandy bed. This one, however, is a contradiction to the accepted rule. It gushes from à cave ten feet high and twenty féet wide, the water is of marvelous clearness. No rain ever fell so fiercely as to even disturb its gd hg appearance, ear of investigation have failed to dis- close the facts regarding the source of the fish supply. No one has ever seen a single fish swim into the cave. Hundreds have been observed swimm! out. There is nothing about them that cates their be- bred in a subterranean stream. far as the inhabitants of that section and visitors have been able to learn, the spring is by no means the reappearance of a stream that flows out of doors somewhere else. Its source seems to be from some point far beneath the earth’s surface. All this forms a natural problem, and one that is likely to remain a mystery for as many ears as , ALMOST, BUT NOT QUITE, TWINS. 0 5 * 4 2 +s ~ o> 2 e. J V. * — A TWO-HEADED SNAKE.

A natural explanation of the occurrence of fossils near the margin of the lake, especially on the Black Hills side, would seem to be that herds of animals at times were overwhelmed on its shores dur- ing severe storms. The rarer remains of other species may be accounted for by the supposition that tributary streams occa- sionally carried their bodies into the lake.” WELL NAMED “MOREHEAD.” A Child With Two Heads, One of Which Is Located on the Back. A child with two heads was born at Hot Springs, Ark., the other day. It is a curious coincidence that the name of the child’s parents is Morehead. Both heads are well developed but they are not both located where heads belong. One of them is in the right place, but the THE MOREHEAD BABY. 1 located at the base of the spinal — 1. most out of the way place for a 22 and bids fatr to live The freak is thriving ‘The case is attracting a great deal of atten- tien among medical men.

Count Shewshine arrives at the hotel with a grand flourish. — — TEE CIRCUS IN CHAPTERS. CHAPTER I. It was evening in Squashville-on-the- Hog. The silence was broken only by the chirping crickets, the long-drawn-out wail of an insomniverous baby, a cat soiree, three howling dogs, several hundred lo- quac.ous roosters and the Squashville Band. The town was brilliantly illuminated by five oi] street lamps and the,full moon. Within the grocery store a erowd, of “regulars” had congregated and the man- who-held-down-the-cracker-barrel was tell- ing, with many. gestures, of the prepara- tions being made in the adjo’ning town for the event of the year. It was the coming of the circus. CHAPTER II It was evening in Squashville-on-the- Og. The silence alluded to before was again present in large quantities and was broken only by the noises heretofore spoken of. The bureau of lighting was cutting small chunks out of the gloom and the moon engaged itself as usual in giving the town the “iceberg stare.“ The grocery store was dark and within its walls no sound was heard save that of the mice as they made cheese sandwiches and cracker dust. It was the evening of the circus. CHAPPE III It was evening in Squashville-on-the; “tt” €5 the trivial nofses of which ch has been already sa:d, the silence ‘so broken by the noisy rattle of the 2 physician’s carriage as it hurried -he boulder-strewn street. In Farmer raw's house lay little Willie, with a broken arm. Down at Abiram White's Tommy was writhng on his bed of pain with several ribs fractured. Job Hank’s son Abner was picking splinters out of his hands while waiting for the doctor to come and sew up his scalp. Little Rachael Pokeroot’s mother wept bitterly as she ban- daged the knife-wounds in her daughter's arm, the results of an unsuccessful knife- throwigg experiment performed by her brother Abinadab. Johnny Dewberry lay in his little cot suffering with general con- cussion as a result of his efforts to put a hump on and thereby make a sacred cow out of Josh Hayseed’s bull. The physician’s carriage rolled noisily o’er the boulder-strewn street. It was the evening after the circus, — — — 2.

Is THERE?P Tell me, ye wandering winds That soon wll chill and gnaw me, Is there a place where no one sings Just tell them“ | AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS. It was a “cotillion party“ given at a Ken- tucky farm house, and being I was a visitor on the next farm, I was invited to be present and participate. I had heard hints that something might happen to disturb the serenity of the occasion, and therefore requested the farmer to give me at least five minutés’ notice before any shooting be- gan. “T'll do it?’ he replied. 1 shal be watchin’ out, and I think I can give yo’ plenty of time to get out of range.“ “There will be shooting, of course?“ “Oh, certainly. The boys would feel that they had slighted me if there wasn’t a row.“ What do the women do when the shoot- ing begins?“ “Sit right down on the floor till it’s all over. Don't be oneasy. I'll give yo’ plenty of warnin’.’’ There was only one fiddler, and he was also the caller. His calls puzzled me a first, but no one else appeared to mind it as he drawled: “Right and left on the head, and Bill Taylor don’t want to drop that revolver on 3. And finds that his trunk its full of bricks. the floor! Balance four and half promenade, and Jim Henderson has a knife in his bute- leg! Ladies change, and Luke Williams is achin’ to pick a furse with Tom Bebee! All balance to partners, and when the shootin’ begins please rémember that the fiddler never takes sides!“ We had been dancing about an hour, and everybody seemed to be thoroughly good-natured and at peace with all man- kind, when the farmer beckoned to me and whispered: * J said I'd give yo’ five minutes’ warnin’, but I'm two minutes behind time! Break for the barn!“ I broke, but was not over thirty feet from —— the door when the shooting began. It lasted about five minutes, and I cautiously returned to the house o hear the fiddler seins in the same old monotonous voice: Take partners for Virginia reel, and don’t make s‘ch a furse over three men wounded! First lady and gent forward and back, Bill Taylor has gone for a doc- tor! Forward again and sacha, and some- body attend to that gal in hysterics! Swing with the right—now with the left, and if this isn’t the most successful dance of the season then you folks needn’t pay me a cent!” TO KING WILLIAM.

AN IN DEPENDENT CENTENARIAN — I found him sitting on a rickety fence, smoking a disreputable-looking clay pipe, and the first question I asked was if smok- ing agreed with him. “Don’t give a dum whether it does or not!“ was the off-hand reply. “I’m gointer smoke if I feel like it, an’ if it don't wanter agree with me it kin do the other thing. Reckon it'll find l'm my own boss.” No doubt of that, Mr. Snoggs,“ said I, “but I’ve been sent here for a certain pur- pose and that is to ascertain, if possible, the secret of your remarkable longevity.“ My which?’ “Why, your longevity—your great age, you know. You are 100 years old, are you not?’’ „Bet yer boots I am, an’ six months over fer good measure!“ „Well, the public would like to know the secret cf your long life.“ Hain't no secret erbout it. It's jest be- cause I hain’t died before, I reckon.” That's all right, Mr. Snoggs, but the point I am trying to get at is why you are so well preserved at your advanced years. You must have lived a very regular and abstemious life.“ “Dunno about that, zactly. Can't yer put it 1 United S ates?“ „Well, how about whisky drinking?” Waal, I've had four nips so fur ter-day, but I reckon I kin stand another if ye’ve got some of the right stuff with yer.” Fou misunderstood me, Mr. — 1 wasn't asking you to take something. I was merely endeavoring in my blundering way to ascertain if you have been in the habit of liquor-drinking.” “Waal, yes; I s’pose you might call it a habit, seein’ I take my toddy reg’lar from to ea dozen times a ate a dozen vided I kin git it.” “But don’t you think the indiscriminate use of liquor has been a to you?” here, mister,” snorted , climb- ing down off the fence and kicking a yellow lop-eared dog out of his way, “I’ve eerd erbout all of this funny bizness I kéer to! If there wuz anything reckless or indiscrim- mate erbout the way I use licker I reckon I would "ve found it out long ago, without any of yer help. It’s erbout time to h’ist aboard another toddy, an’ I’m goin’ round to the tavern to tend to the matter, an’ if yer feel Eke comin’ along yer kin do so, an’ if yer don’t yer kin go to thunder! That's moe, every time—independent as a hog on roller- skates, even if I hain’t quite as spry an’ chipper as I wuz fifty or sixty years ago!“ And then I gave Snoggs up as a case and came away. 2.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT AN ART KNOWN IN ANCIENT TIMES AND LOST FOR AGES. “How nicely your teeth look! Why, they @re better than ever before.” Hearing the above remark as I was sitting fn a cable car with my thoughts miles away, — looked up and met the glance of a lady With whom I had a slight acquaintance. She ed and smiled, and I noticed that her mouth had a very different expression the mouth I had seen a few weeks Being somewhat anxious to find out the Secret, I played the part of eavesdropper and listened to the conversation which con- tinued between herself and the friend who had made the first remark, I could not Catch every word, but heard enough of the conversation to find out that she had been wery fortunate in having her teeth operated upon by some one who evidently had been here only a short time. When I last saw the lady her under jaw projected in the way described as jimber jawed,’ and spoiled an otherwise pretty face. When I ®aw her on the car last week there was no sign of the projecting under jaw, and her teeth seemed perfectly even and correct in every way, and from being rather unpleas- ant to look upon, she had changed into a remarkably pretty young woman. From what I gathered of the conversation tween her and her companion I found that she had been operated upon by a den- tist, and it set me thinking upon the sub- ject of modern dentistry, and the rapid Strides the art must have made to change the whole appearance of one as the opera- tion had changed this lady. I determined to call upon a few members reag and heard of this fad witheut bellev- | e doctor smiled and looked as tf he oe: not want to answer, but 2 that he finally said: “Yes, there are who want diamonds set in their teeth, just as there are women foolish enough to color — hair and do many other idiotic things.“ „Have you had any experience in setting diamonds in teeth?“ 8 „We have had applications for such work, but declined to it. It is done in the East, and there are St. Louis who have wanted it done. The diamond used for the teeth is a rose diamond. They vary in size, sometimes being as large as a karat, but the profession do not approve of this fad at all, I have heard lately, Doctor, that you could put in an entire set of teeth in a patient’s mouth if he had ome good root left to serve as an anchor?“ „Well, that is an exaggeration, but 80 long as a patient has enough teeth left to serve aS a support, in er words, as plers to the bridge work, we can build him a nice and substantial set of teeth. A great many teeth are saved by usi what is known as the Richmond crown. “nen front teeth can be putsin on a. pivot being built up of gold, with veneering of porcelain. As for germs of decay in teeth, they can be communicated like consumption, and other diseases from a kiss, and one should be careful of kissing a person with bad teeth. Of course, there would have to be an abra- sion upon the teeth in order for the decay to be communicated. It is the mission of dentists now to save teeth, not to extract and make artificial teeth. ‘What are artificial teeth made of, and why don’t they look more life-like?” ’ “They are generally made of porcelain, but there is @ tooth produced in Europe which is quite like the human tooth. T best teeth for texture and color are made in England, but the strongest teeth are made in America. The United States has the first and oldest dental college in the world. The Peruvians, Aztecs and Egyp- tians all practiced dentistry, but for gener- ations it was a lost art.“ Do you use much gold for teeth now?“ Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars' worth is used annually for teeth in this country.“ “The gold for teeth is supposed to be per- Se an ae R 7 $ eps Phe in the PA 7 33 res A ars eof 0 . — 5 oe a 9 PA ET ee) 1 a . 9 f bey a Ba 2 ä TEE T IN ORDER TO INTRODCUOR OUR PAINLESS PUBLIC H—FREE—WITHOUT PAIN DAILY FROM 10 TO 12 AND 4 To 8.

THE WAY OUR FATHERS SUFFERED. surprised when I to him I was a repre- sentative of the Sunday Post-Dispatch, and ad come to ask him for some information About modern dentistry. He seemed shocked for a moment, and looked at me as if he th ight hs had come in contact with a real bona fide e woman. But a few minutes made him know that he was mistaken, as all new women are well informed upon all subjects and I showed my ignorance at once upon the subject of dentistry. “Come re with me,“ said the Doc- tor, and | the way into a large front room filled with books, easy chairs and a desk. “That,’ said the Doctor, pointing to the shelves, which reached to the ceiling and Were covered with books, is the largest dental library in the world. There is a li- brary in London which claims to be nearly as large, but this is the largest.“ a Are Al those books about dentistry?” I asked, perfectly amazed at the magnitude of the subject. Nes and in every language under and he commenced to show me oks in German, Russian, French, Latin and every language spoken or read, These books are all catalogued and kept by the young lady who has lived with the Doc- tor a8 assistant for fifteen years. How long has the science been known?” I asked the Doctor, as he fingered his be- on books 4 if they oan been old friends. cannot tell you, but I can show you the Widest book in the world upon the subject, and he found an old volume, in old German “ext, published in 1530, which had found by a collector upon a trip in Ger- many, and bought by the Doctor at a big hag I glanced over the heads of the chap- Which were thirteen in number, and found that it contained references to arti- eles upon dentistry from Cornelius, Celsus end Piiny, with information as to how to extract teeth easily and without pain. After this the doctor showed me a work t out in 1814 about etraigh»vening ly formed teeth, which disfigured the , and many others, which it would take mi time to mention. “I think,” said the doctor, “If dentists could impress upon mothers the importance of taking care of their children’s teeth, and, when it is proper, to take them to the den- Wis), we would have much better teeth the world over.“ “Why is it, doctor, that so few dentists succeed in making artificial teeth look nat- ural, when the art of dentistry is so old, and has made such wonderful progress in j sap pest few years?” „ “We ll, I don’t know, except that teeth re- / quire taste and judgment, like everything e, and it is hard to fill a mouth with arti- formerly that nearly everyone can have them. A good set of teeth used to cost $250, but a fair set can be made for $10 now.“ “Can you take a tooth out of a patient's mouth, fill it and put it back, and it take root again?“ “Yes, that has been done successfully. In the case of an ulcer upon a tooth it is taken out, the ulcer cut off, the tooth put back, and it will often grow again.”’ Doctor Harper said: “* A dentist cannot sufficiently impress upon mothers the im- portance of attending to the teeth of their children from the first set, which should be attended to as faithfully as the second set. Fewer teeth are pulled now than formerly, because we have learned how to save them before it is too late. “A lady can come in a dentist’s office to- day and have her teeth extracted, and the minute the bleeding is staunched she can put in a new set, for which the impression has been taken a few days before having her teeth pulled.“ I hear that there are horse dentists and dog dentists. Now, doctor, is it true?“ “Yes, that is true in regard to horses, and I can give you the address of one if you wih do call upon him. As for * read that the fashionable ladies of the have their dogs’ teeth fixed with the same regularity as they do their own.“ Another well-known dentist said: The ecience has progressed rapidly in the past few years, and a good dentist has all the work that he can , as a rule. One reason is that parents seem to be r the necessity of taking better care their children’s teeth. A few years ago it was considered unnecessary to take any care of the first teeth of a child, because they would ched them any way, but Mme and science has changed all of that.” “Do you dentists really extract teeth without pain, doctor?’ I asked a well-known dentist. I mean when the patient does not take gas We claim to do so, said the doctor. Here are instruments that we use,“ he said, pringing forward a number of hypodermic needles, “I have seen a patient come in here with an ulcerated tooth go sore that I could not touch it with my finger without causing excruciating pain and after using the needle with this fluid,’’ showing me a sample, he could bite with it. „But we may be like the dental office the policeman told about when the countryman asked him to show him that place where they pulled teeth without pain, and he inted to an office around the corner, say- ng. “That is the place where you hear the — * U . A , N . ‘ N 1 N 2 f „ * * . . i> — 2 8 looking members of the profession, and was as nice to interview as he was good-look- ng. what you want to know ask me and I will tell you to the best of my ability,” he said: My „Well, doctor, I have been seeing 80 many dentists and asking so many ques- tions that I hardly know what to ask you, but I shall ask you one question that I have not put to any other dentist, and that is whether or not it is true the negro race have much better teeth than white people?” „That idea prevails, but it is quite an erroneous view. They do not have any better teeth than White people. I don't do any work for them because my patients object, and because of their prejudice I cannot receive them. They often come in and say, Doctor, 2 have been to several dentists and cannot get my work done, and I am willing to pay well.’ Then I refer them to an office where I know they can get work done by a dentist of their own ra ce. “Do you use diamonds for plugs?“ . No, I don't, but I have had applications to do so, but they are generaily from act- resses and women who wish to be con- icuous.” Rut later on I met a young dentist who wore a diamond plug himself, so opinions differ. I visited the extracting room at one parlor, wheré the dentist had taken out 319 teeth that day. A little boy sat in the chair and he was crying from fear. “It won't hurt,“ said the dentist, and proceeded to use the hypodermic needle, after which he jerked out the tooth before the little fellow had time to cry out. “It really does not hurt, but there are nervous people who will cry out as goon as they see the forceps.” While I stood ‘here a nervous lady took the chair and made a great fuss over having her tooth pulled and said after it was over that it really did not hurt at all. I called to see Mrs. Emma Chase before finishing my round of calls, and found her busy with @ patient. Mrs. Chase said there was always something new to be learned in the art, and it kept her busy reading and studying during her spare time. Dr. Emma Chase is the only woman den- Ust in St. Louis, and naturally she makes A psa ed of doing ladies’ and children’s work, Aé I was walking toward the office I met a young society mah, who happens to be a candidate for matrimony, and for this reason intéresting to a newspaper woman, and I stopped and spoke to him, telling him a little about my day’s experience. ‘ you see this tooth?“ he said, pointing at one of his front ivories. ‘‘Well, that tooth came out of the head of a bell boy down town, and cost me just eleven dollars. I A1 lose my tooth and was so distressed by that I said I would give anything to get a mate to it. The boy heard me and I made a bargain with him and he sat down in the chair, had the tooth pulled and I had it put in my head with ligatures and it W, the boy walked off with eleven ars, minus a tooth.“ could hardly believe this story, but the youn . left him thinking that there were many thifgs in this world that were matters, of surprise to Substitute for Ivory.
