Thes figures must stand until the State Canvass- ing Board decides the various contests and investigates the nu us charges of fraud. he silver Democrats are still claiming the tate, basing their claim on only 13,649 piura)}- ity for McKinley in the Eleventh Congres- sional District. - They give no table of the vote by counties, but simply assert that the above figures are correct. On the other hand, the Republicans give figures by coun- ties from the Eleventh District, only two counties unofficial, and estimate the total at 14,280. A complication has arisen that will likely divide the electoral vote on the basis of 12 for McKinley and 1 for Bryan. This is due to the fact that a large number put the stencil mark opposite the name of the first elector instead of under the party device, thus causing the head of each ticket to run ahead of their colleagues. In this way the foremost Democratic elec- tor, W. B. Smith, gets more votes than the hindmost Republican elector. Bettors on the Bryan end say this pre- vents the McKinley men from winning, and raises an interesting point., However, all bets are held up until the State Can- 'vassing Board count. The most intense is manifested in the constantly and the situation as- sumes a very ludicrous phase. The Election County Canvassing Board at 1 o'clock completed the count of the Ninth Ward (Louisville) with the result that Me- Kinley gains 8 votes, raising the total in the State to 537.

Charles Bohn, a saloonkeeper on the south. west corner of Fifteenth and Biddle street, was held up in his place of business at ¢ o'clock by five or six bandits and relieved of ali his money. The men got away. Al- theugh the police have six prisoners sus- pected of the crime, there is absolutely no evidence against them. ; Robberies have become so frequent that saloonkeepers and small shopkeepers in humble neighborhoods are terror-stricken.: Unless the police catch the offenders, the record of the tall man and the short man in Chicago will be endangered. The hold-up at Bohn's place was unusuel- ly daring. It was scarcely dark and there were dozens of people on the street, but so quickly was the work accomplished that Fifteenth street just around another on Fifteenth street further south CCC Wit es .

THE M’INTYRE BABY. It Will Remain With Its Mother, but the Father Can See It. The habeas corpus proceedings institut- ed by Charles M. McIntyre of 3631 Dodier street to recover possession of his l1-year- old child Marie from his wife, resulted in McIntyre’s defeat Saturday. he case was up before Judge Klein and before the hearing was commenced the Judge made the statement that he would never take a I-year-old child from its mother unless it were proven that she was an 8 person to have charge of it. 1 face of this statement Mr. Me- Intyre took the stand and told how the child was taken from him last Saturday by its mother, Mrs. Lulu J. McIntyre, and the latter’s sister, Mary Walsh. The Walsh family live at 3617 Sullivan avenue and Mary Walsh, Ella Walsh, another sister, and Mrs. Patrick Walsh, grandmother of the child, were made defendants in the case because the child was at their house. Mrs. McIntyre left her husband about two weeks ago because he objected to mem- bers of her family spending their time at his house and because she didn’t like the presence of his relatives there. Last Saturday, according to Melntyre's testimony, Mrs. McIntyre and her sister called on him with two policemen and de- manded the child. He gave it up because he ‘wished to avoid trouble and thought he could recover the baby through the courts. He had to think again en his testi- mony was concluded, because Judge Klein awarded Mrs. McIntyre custody of the child. The order permits McIntyre to take the child out ever every Sunday between o’clotk in the morning and 3 in the after- noon. During asked his age. e replied but that nis wife insisted that he was 24 and he wasn't quite positive about the mat- ter himself.

The men claimed not to know each other, but Mohr was identified by Patrol- man Schrader as Charles Miller, who had served a term at Jefferson City for a bur- glary committed in St. Louis, and this iden- tification was established Saturday morn- ing when Chief Desmond found the prison- er's likeness in the Rogues’ Gallery. Nothing is known of Taylor or his record but he is supposed to be a professional thief. He says that he comes from Min- neapolis. In Miller’s possession was found a fine steel saw, such as is used by burglars for sawing window frames. He is known as a sneak thief and rglar.

YFUL SCENE IN A NURSERY. Se ‘en-Year-Old Daughter of a Well- Known Widow Seriously Burned, but Will Recover. Wheh Helen Gleeson, a beautiful child of 7, appeared at the breakfast table with the bloom of a fresh young life on her cheeks, her mother, the widow of the late T. P. Gleeson, looked at her with fond eyes and told her she must put on her win- ter dress as soon as breakfast was over. Mrs. Gleeson’s thoughts dwell continu- ously on the happiness and health of her children, and she was afraid Helen might catch cold. The child had on a light wool- len wrapper, which her mother did not con- sider warm enough. After her morning meal Helen looked out of the dining-room window of her cosy home, 5581 Von Versen avenue, shivered slightly at the dreary aspect and ran gayly upstairs. She went into the large and comfortable sitting room where the children dress. Mar- jorie, aged 9, and Freddie, aged 11, were in the room They had just dressed, and when Helen entered with her golden tresses fram- ing her pretty face, they embraced her, and, quick with the frolicsome spirit of child- hood, gamboled merrily about the apart- ment. Helen went about the task of donning her new winter dress. She looked at the pretty garment with feminine admiration for finery, then faced the grate to toast her toes. N When Paul Gleeson, Helen's brother, was a child, he was slightly burned while play- ing about a grate fire. Thereafter Mrs. Glee- son made it a rule to have but one grate fire in her home, and that was always Cov- ered by a wire screen. The screen was in position when Mrs. Gleeson went down- stairs, but she recently hired two new serv- ants, and one of them forgot the cigid rule about the screen. — ‘ While Helen stood before the blaze, the servant put some fresh fuel on the bank of coals and neglected to replace the screen. This proved almost fatal for Helen. When the servant had returned to her work down- stairs the flames licked the coals and leaped upward with fury. They darted up the chimney and a few fiery tongues leaped outward. They touched Helen’s gown and in an in- stant the garment was ablage. With a faint cry that did not go beyond the room she exclaimed: “Oh, I am on fire!” Marjorie turned and glanced at her sis- ter. Marjorie is a bright girl with playful, roguish eyes, which at the sight of the es flashed with heroic resolve. She uttered no scream nor sought to leave the room. She was determined to save Helen even Hit cost her her own life. She ran to Helen, threw her arms around her neck and squeezed her so that her own dress came in close contact with Helen’s gown. This saved the burning child. Marjorie’s little frock was of pure wool, and it acted as a wet blanket on the flames. Sullenly the blaze died out as if chagrined at being deprived of so beautiful a victim. The flames disappeared, but the fire smold- ered alo the bodice of Helen's gown and ecorched her body and arms. When Freddie saw the heroism of Mar- orie she too ran to Helen’s aid. She threw er arms around the sufferer’s neck, and did all she could to smother the flames with her woolen skirt. The fire made one last effort to consume its victim. A spark touched Helen’s fair hair Just as the flames which enveloped the dress were dying beneath the woolen dresses. In- etantly the long locks were sizzling and Mar- ae and Freddie were on the point of turn- ng sick at the sight. ut they held to Helen and preserved her beauty as well as her life. When the flames had burned the hair they sought to steal down Helen's neck, but our woolen sleeves, like a barren stretch of land on a burning prairie, were a barrier which the fire could not pass. The children, seeing the flames dying, ound their voices. They screamed, Helen stairs to the sitting room. She met her other six children and the two — ge —ů — a and the nine r- sons, ut two o em men comes into the room. aes casi ternal feelin ve her cour and she ran forward. Marforie and Freddie stood aside when their mother approached and Helen dropped faintly into Mrs. Gleeson's arms. She and her grown daughters tore off the own and stripped Helen of all her clothes. hen they saw what the flames had done. he gown and underclothing had been burned through, and the child's body was scorched up to her neck. The skin had eled trom her 2 arm rom her elbow her shoulder and along her right side. If the flames had not been smothered by Mar- jorie and Freddie, Helen would have been reduced to a cinder, but the smoldering fire did horrible work, even while Helen was held fast by her sisters.

There were spasmodic efforts to boost December wheat Saturday, but without avall. Every advance was followed by a decline, and the market hovéred around Friday's closing price, 835c. It opened at Sc, but dropped off steadily to ae. As usual on Saturdays, liquidations caused a slight falling off during the opening hour. Then the bulls started another attempt to boost the market, but they failed. Despite the fact that European cables showed very little strength, the speculators worked hard to start wheat shooting up toward the dol- lar mark, partly for their own profit and partly as a McKinléy object lesson. They succeeded in boosting the price to Sic. It remained there for exactly twenty- five seconds, and went back to c. The unnatural condition could not be maintained very long and the price slumped point by point to 835%c, %c lower than the opening. The market was stationary for nearly half an hour at Be and started up again, reach- ing Sie at 11:30. There was nothing firm about the market, for it immediately began to slump again, dropping to c, the opening price. The closing price was 83%c. The net gain for the entire day was only Vc. WEALTH EASILY EARNED. Lucky Mineral Finds in the Gold Fields of Australia. One of the biggest lumps of gold that ever was found in the world was the prize of a party of diggers at Ballarat, Australia, says the Fydney D hile work - ing down their claim they had in the Course of their operations come upon various little nuggets, which, if they did not lavBhly repay them for their labors, at least kept their hearts beating high with hope. The claim was of an extent sufficient for 24 persons, who comprised the company, and they kept on in very good spirits un- til they had worked down to a depth of 180 feet, when, on June 11, 1858, the attention of all in the working was suddenly arrested and turned in the direction of an irregular- ly shaped mass which was feverishly freed from its surroundings. When at length it was released the dis- coverers held their breath in amazemen®4, for it was found to be so heavy that it was difficult to move it. Visions of wealth “beyond the dream of avarice’’ rose before their eyes in the dimly lighted working where this symbol of their dream’s reality lay before them-a solid mass of almost pure gold, measuring abou? 1 foot 8 inches long b 12 inches broad and 7 inches deep. When subsequently scaled it weighed 125 pounds avoirdupvois, of which only ten pounds were were ultimately found to consist of foreign matter, leaving nearly 1,600 cubic inches of solid gold all one piece, and capable of being minted into something like 9,350 sov- ereigns. After remaining in Ballarat for some time it was sold there for $50,000 and transferred to Melbourne, where it was also exhibited, and ere the 18th of March, 1859, again changed hands for the price of its gold, viz., W. It came to London in Novem- ber of the same * and was melted. Sometimes solid pieces have been picked up from the surface of the ground or just covered by the moss. At Kingower, Victo- ria, one of a party of observers lifted from the moss a mass which, when freed from about forty ounces of moss and quartz fragments, yielded 188 ounces of solid gold, and within half an inch of the surface, at the same place, another big lump, weighing 236 ounces, was discovered in 1861. Now and again the search for the precious dent, In 1861, at Bendigo, an old deserted claim was reoccupied, and an earthen pil- lar, which had been left standing under the Impression that it was needed to keep the roof from falling in, was attacked by the new tenant under some happy inspiration, and with, for result, the dislodgment of a nugget measuring twelve inches in length and six inches in width, and from one-half to two inches in thickness. This unlooked- for find was worth about $6,000. Occasionally also, in the face of success, diggers have quite lost their heads in their feverisn excitement to hurry off and realize their spoil. At Ballarat a party of four started on a claim, and, after working to a depth of sixty feet, they suddenly came upon a huge nugget. Without waiting to see whether any similar good things were lying about they went straight to ndon, where they sold their prize for $27,500. Hard- ly had they left when another party of min- ers who had taken their place found within a few yards of the spot where the first nug- t was discovered two lumps of gold which etched $37,500. STRANGE LABORATORY IN PARIS Established in the Catacombs Under the Jardin des Plantes. Deep in the bowels of the earth a curious laboratory is about to oe established in the Jardin des Plantes. Under the gardens run some old galleries of the catacombs, which have not been ope in 100 years. The lab- oratory which is to be established in these galleries will give an opportunity to study the effect of upon animal life. Everyone has heard, says the New York Press, of the fish without eyes in the cave of Kentucky and other freaks which exist in dark wells and such places. These facts are of great in studying the evolution of man and species, but so far no researches wpon the subject have been carried out by scientists, Down in the deep galleries of the cata- combs it is always pitch dark and fish ponds will be dug in the solid rock and stocked with fish to study the effect of the obscurity upon them and their offspring. Animais wil also be kept down there for the same ped em i. A good Geal of trouble and some danger was experienced in ing up the galleries, which have for so * n closed.

He was not astir, however, before the customary callers had well surrounded the house and clustered about the windows, Mrs. McKin- ley was not well enough to be at the break- fast table.

PEABODY’S WRATH Found Vent When Silverite Pat Foley Came Before Him. The celebrated plutocrat, Judge Thomas Hyroneous Peabody, of the First District Police Court, took a fall out of Patrick Foley Saturday morning, and in conse- quence Patrick will languish in the Work- ao ae unless he is able to liquidate a fine The allegation was that Patrick dis- turbed the goldbug parade on Nineteenth Street last Saturday, and did then and there, by certain unlawful acts and con- duct, impede the progress and impair the oe peace of the paraders. © case was set for last Monday, Patrick failed to show up and 8 his bond, but he was finally brought in on a capias issued by the Judge, who was one of the main guys in the procession, After lecturing Patrick. severely for his degenerate and unholy interference with the sanctified cause of sound money, Judge Peabody gave him to understand that he was doing him a favor by not sending — to the penitentiary, and “found” him NEVER EDITED HIS PLAYS. - Reason Why Shakspeare Did Not Trust His Dramas to a Publisher. There is a new answer to the old question why Shakspeare did not himself undertake the collection of his plays. Some biogra- phers have gone so far as to build up theory of his character on that fact; hold- and that when he had achieved his object, a comfortable independence and a hand- some house in his native village at Strat- ford, his interest in them ceased: Accord- ing to this theory, says the London Stand- ard, he cared ye | at all for the plays as literature, and had no regard for future fame, simply doing his work from day to day by lifting good stage ‘material wen- ever he could lay hand on it, and turning it into dramas in a rough and ready fash- ion, as any literary hack of to-day might do. Of course, such a theory is utterly de- structive of the notion of any deep, under- lying system“ of art or ethics in the dramas, such as critics of the Germanizing type have tried to find, and this apparent disregard for the preservation of the plays has given a good deal of trouble to students of this school. The Standard suggests sev- eral explanations of the fact that Shaks- peare did not devote the comparative leis- ure of his later years in Stratford to col- lecting and editing the plays. One theory suggested is that he may have projected such a recension and then have ‘died sud- denly, carried off, perhaps, by one of the infectious diseases so common then before he had time to complete the work. It is quite possible, therefore, that Shaks- peare did meditate, in the course of time going through all his plays, revising and publishing them; only he not unnaturally thought that there was no case for hurry and that the task might be undertaken at any time during the next twenty years Moreover, it may have been either that he still retained a financial interest in th Globe Theater, at any rate, as far as — representation of his own plays was con- cerned, or, if he did not, that he had parted with his interest to others still actively en- gaged in the work of the theater. In either case there existed a powerful motive for not bringing the plays 2 and publishin them in one volume, in an accessible formt When this had once been done it would have been easy for other theatrical companies to avail themselves of the text and to pla Shakspeare’s pieces up and down the coun. try, at no cost to themselves and at no profit ogg U.S.A.

The events of the last week have dem- onstrated that there is no greater menace to popular government than the monop- Oly system which makes it possible for duch men as Russell Sage and the Goulds to control the telegraph and falsify eleg- tion returns. They managéd to get complete control of the newspaper agencies for collecting the news, and having done so, they sys- tematically suppressed every indication of Democratic gains and gave out the wildest and most absurd claims for the Republicans. Carrying Texas for Hanna by overwhelming majorities was a small thing for the Gould and Sage returnjng board. The danger from this is so grave that in the next national election the Demo- cratic party will certainly have a thor- Oughly organized press service to handle the returns in every State. In the mean- time it may be possible to expose and punish a very considerable number of rascals who now think that the posses- mon of more than a million dollars en- titles any one of them to commit any fraud he finds convenient for the accom- Plishment of his purposes. ‘THE CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

As the secret history of the Hanna ™mpaign is disclosed it is likely to be monstrated that the most extreme esti- ates of the amount of money used in it ‘re underestimates. But though it is Ssibly true that Hanna spent five times much money as was ever spent before the history of our politics, he did not scide the result. The irsue of the election was really cided in advance when Cleveland is- 2 his panic proclamation and when the Mluence of his patronage was great snough to defeat bimetallism in a Demo- cratic Congress. Had the stand made this year been Made then, the Democratic party would have been invincible.

In the election that followed, this ticket— respectable from every point of view and a . representing a natural sentiment of party protest—polled a few more than 29,000 votes in the entire country, which was about the proportion of the total vote that the vote for the Palmer and Buckner Hessian ticket last Tuesday bears to the total vote this year. ' The protesting Democrats in 1872 called themselves “True Democrats.” After the election was over, in spite of the pitiful showing they. made at the polls, they proclaimed to the world that they were still the true Democratic party; that the Democracy would have to come back to them and accept their leadership. Precisely the same announcement is being made now by the Palmer-Buckner Hessians. They are going to reconvene their national convention. In spite of the fact that three-fourths of the mem- bers of that convention voted for Me- Kinley, they declare that they are going to take charge of the Democratic organ- ization, with themselves ag officers. The country smiled at the bumptious- ness of the True Democrats” after the election of 1872. It Will laugh at the Palmer-Buckner Hessians of 1896. If an attempt should be made to call the Indianapolis convention together again, it would furnish a welcome butt for the wits and cartoonists. The facts of the situation are these, and the Hessians may as well understand it at once, If they wish to resume their relations with the Democratic party, they will get on the train precisely as it is made up and officered now. And even then they will take rear seats in the rear car, and remain there during a proper period of probation. 3 — THE SUNDAY Pos T- DIS PAT CIE. To-morrow's Post-Dispatch will, as usual, be replete with interesting reading Matter and high-grade pictures to suit all tastes, from the first to the last page of the paper. For the ladies there will be the Woman's department, devoted to the newest fashions and other maiter of interest to the sex. The Seven-Story page will:present several tales of thrilling ad- venture and unusual happenings, pro- fusely illustrated. The two Fun pages will contain the best selections of the wit and humor of the day, in verse, quips, repartee and funny pictures. The Bicycle page will be full of interest to the wheel- men. -The Sporting page will give all the news of racing, foot-ball, etc. The news columns will tell succinctly and attract- ively what is going on in the world at home and abroad, up to the hour of going to press. Among a few of the special features to which attention may be called are the following: | A Double on Mallards—A beautiful half- page pieture by Russell, showing a typ- jca] duck-hunting scene in a St. Charles County club grounds. The Manifold Uses of India Rubber— The marveious growth of this industry and the constantly increasing list of use- ful and ornamental articles made of a substance which was discovered by acci- dent. Illustrated, Women Who Have Long Worn Trous- ers—Long before the new woman arose im her knickerbockers and bloomers the peasant women of some countries in Europe wore masculine bifurcated gar- ments. Illustrated. The “Barkeep” Is Full of Stories—How the patient mixologist becomes the in- voluntary confident of his bibulous cus- tomers who insist on pouring their tales of into his unwilling ear.

For Years Dead to the World—A St. Louls citizen of Danish birth receives a paper from home containing an amusing interview with explorer Nansen on his return. He was totally ignorant of the great episodes in history which occurred in his absence. Illustrated. Apotheosis of the Slot Machine—It cu)- minates in a device to dispense with wait- ers. Drop your money in the slot and get a piping hot meal. Illustrated. The Woman Bandit of Montana—The adventurous career of a woman bandit who passed as a man for years. She re- formed, joined the Salvation Army and then killed herself. Tattoo Marks Betrayed Him—A giddy husband has his charmer’s picture, tat- tooed on his arm, and his wife makes it the basis of a divorce suit. A Hotel for Feline Guests—A woman who makes a good living boarding the cats of wealthy and noted people. Illus- trated. Butterflies May Be Tamed—A girl suc- ceeds in making pets of the delicaté winged beauties, and they have learned to know her voice. Illustrated. The Republicans are encouraging the Hessians to keep up a farcical organiza- tion. They are well aware that if the Chicago convention had adopted a yellow platform the Democratic party would not have carried a single Congressional dis- trict. But neither Hessians nor Repub- licans can kill the Democratic party. It is well rid of its corrupt elements, and is certain of victory in 1900. — ——— The organization of a Silver Educa- tional League is a good idea. There should be silver organizations every- where, and every legitimate influence should be brought to bear for honest money. Four years from now Ahe coun- try may be in much more need of relief from the shackles of the money power than it is now. From now until next March every gen- uine Democrat who finds it impossible to relieve his feelings in any other way will find much comfort in the refrain: No more, no more, no more Grover Cleve- land! No more, no more, no more Standard Oil! Mr. Bryan’s financial views will be more acceptable to the people of all sec- tions when they are better understood. Many young men who this year voted wrong will look deeper into public ques- tions before another Presidential election. Before another four years, this country may have a noticeable decrease in the number of mortgaged newspapers. The people are tired of that sort of journalism and now that they understand what it means they will know what to do about it. — — kk — — Mr. Bull's subjects in India, having no rice to eat, will get a taste of American wheat in the coming winter.

The Post-Dispatch’s circulation is no indication of dull times.

With the record of the St. Louis base ball Browns, followed by the gloomy out- look for Associatiom foot ball, there could hardly be a more melancholy autumn. Four years is a very short time in his- tory, but the Democratic party with Bryan leading it will make a great deal of history in the next four years. 1 — ee The loss of the money Hetty Green has spent on her boy’s politics in Texas would break the old lady’s heart if it had come about in amy other way.

Henry Van Norstrand, a New Tork cetir- ed merchant, who died recently, was one of the most noted conchologists in the world, and leaves a collection of shells of great value. Of the six political prisoners transported in men-of-war from Ireland to Tasmania in 1848, only one is now alive—Dr. Kevin Izod O’Doherty, a governmental medical officer in Queensland. His contribution to the re- bellion was a leading article in a Dublin newspaper. g As the uncontrolled master of the Rus- sian Treasury the Czar is the richest man on earth. He rules a greater extent of ter- ritory than any other sovereign. No other court than his can show as much archaic or modern splendor. His army is actually, and his navy is becoming, the biggest that there is. Ex-Senator Henry L. Dawes of Massachu- setts celebrated the 80th anniversary of his birth on Saturday at Pittsfield. Since his retirement from the Senate in 1893 Mr. Dawes has retained his working interest in the welfare of the Indians, for whom he endeavored tq do much in the way of reform while he was a Senator. Lord Randolph Churchill never knew any- thing even of simple arithmetic, which is possibly why he was made Chancellor of the Exchequer.’Sir Algernon West tells how Randolph said to a clerk who put some fig- ures before him: “I wish you would put those figures plainly so that I can under- stand them,” and when the clerk said he had done his best, and reduced them to decimals, the Chancellor of the Exchequer exclaimed: “Oh, I never could understand what those —— dots meant!“ WOMEN OF NOTE. Ex-Queen Isabella II. of Spain recently celebrated on the same day her 68th birthday and her golden wedding.

The most distinguished Demo- crats that ever lived have been its cham- pions, and while it no more justified seces- sion than opposition to a form of govern- ment justifies the assassination of a ruler, it is the bed rock of that constitutional limitation and separation of the powers of the several branches of the Government on which the Union is founded and which make it inseparable and indestructible. Was George Washington revolutionary when be said: Not only the Constitution and laws must strictly govern, but the employment of the regular troops be avold- ed, if it is possible to effect order without their aid?’ Is opposition to government by injunc- tion such an onslaught on the Supreme Court’s infallibility that the country should stand aghast at it? Were Charles Sumner and Roscoe Conkling tainted with the pois- on of anarchy when they challenged the supremacy of the court over the legislative power? Was Abraham Lincoln chargeable with a desire to cast down the judicial structure when he declared that “if the policy of the Government upon the vital Questions affecting the whole people is to be trrevocably fixed by the decisions of the Supreme Court the instant they are made, have practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal?” Besides, is not the absurdity of the elec- tioneering claim of a sacred character fon the Supreme Court made apparent by the object lesson of packing“ the Judges for special objects, of changed decisions and of the adverse judgment on an income tax, upheld by the court for years, secured only by the weather-cock shifting of a single fudge? The Stupid Hessians. From the Washington Post. The bolters, having made up their minds to defeat the Democracy, could have ef- fected their object on higher moral grounds than they occupied when they put out a platform with the deliberate purpose of violating it. Instead of giving the country a wholesome example of independence in politics by quietly voting for McKinley, they adopted a creed that, if adhered to, must have rendered it impossible for them to vote that way. And their candidate for President made the whole scheme as con- temptible as it had previously become ridiculous when he intimated to his fol- lowers that he wanted them to vote the Republican ticket. Political morality and decency would have escaped an assault if the bolters had done their work without perpetrating a worse than senseless farce. IS MY HAT ON STRAIGHT?

First congratulating you on the splendid fight you have conducted for the redemp- tion ot the State and the success of the De- mocracy, I wish to suggest that the cause of free silver can be assured beyond doubt through Mr. Bryan, as a party organizer an speaker. He should be kept at work til the next Congress is elected and paid libera- ally by the offerings of free silver Demo- crats, to be collected by silver clubs and the party press. If he can be heard by the farmers of the Middle West and Southwest for the next two years there will be nothing left to the goldbugs when the next Congress is elected. He is our leadér and we should keep him before the multitudes pleading for the money of the constitution. Nothing will win the people over like the oratory of Mr. Bryan. He will win his way against all criticism and opposition. He will cement the union between ulists and Democrats. The Post-Dispatch is the paper to inau- gn 1 gurate such a campaign.

HANNA STILL THE BIG BOSS. At a Millionaires’ Banquet He Says the Gold Standard Agitation Is to Be Kept Up. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Thomas C. Platt and his friends were anything but pleased yesterday when they learned the particu- lars of the dinner given by Whitelaw Reid to Chairman Hanna on Thursday night. The invitations did not include a single man who is identified with the Platt ma- chine in this State. This is what worried the Platt people yesterday. In all fifty-two people, including ladies, were present at the dinner. When the courses had been disposed of ithe ladies re- tired to the drawing-rooms, and the gentle- men, over their wine and cigars, discussed ties for the next two or three hours, and rom what leaked out yesterday, Mr. Platt's friends will receive few plums from the next Administration. It was learned on good authority that the uestion of who is to go into President Me- inley’s official household was the princi- al topic under discussion. The friends of Mr. Bliss expect to see him receive the Treasury portfolio. This carries with it more patronage than any other department under tie jurisdiction of the Federal Gov- ernment. The New York places would come in handy to build up an opposition to Platt in the party. There were also rumors yesterday that Bourke Cockran would be given a place in the new cabinet. Men who a to know say that McKinley and Hanna are both willing to acknowledge the work done by the gold Democrats in the campaign just closed, and they feel certain that Mr. Cockran will receive some sort of recognition. If he does not go into the cabinet, it is Ukely that he will be given some good foreign berth. The members of the McKinley League were jubliant over the results of the din- ner, which is destined to make political history in this country. They say that the Platt organization will be entirely ignored by President McKinley. The bitter at- tacks made by Platt on McKinley and Han- na during the weeks preceding the nomin- ations at St. Louis were recalled last night by the politicians who gathered in the cor- ridors of the uptown hotels. It was gener- ally agreed that the regular organization in this State can eat snowballs,“ as far as the next Federal administration is con- cerned. Among the wealthy men who took: part in the conference with Hanna at Reid’s house were D. O. Mills, father-in-law of Whitelaw Reid: Ogden Mills, Mr. Reid's brother-in-law; John A. Stewart, President of the United States T t Co.; J. Pierpont Morgan, Elbridge T. Gerry, Cornelius N. Bliss, Bourke Cockran, Chauncey M. Depew, and four or flve members of the Vanderbilt family. Hanna said he intended to keep up con- tinuous gold standard agitation for the next cou uate.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Four criminals who have been flooding the country during the past few months with dangerous forged drafts and have swindled banks both in New York and Chi are in the toils of the New York police. ne of the prisoners, giving the fictitious name of James Thomp- son, has turned State's evidence, and upon this testimony the Grand-jury has found an indictment for N n the first de- gree against Walter B. Peters, one of the combination, who was captured in Chi- cago, and will be extradited to New York for trial. The operations of the gang showed great shrewdness. The combination to defraud banks by these bogus drafts was formed in the West. The members were Walter B. Pe- ters, Willis Herbert Connors, W. H. Smith and Thompson. Peters is a lithographer, and did most of the work, and is therefore considered the most dangerous of the four men. 0 For some weeks Pinkerton men have been following the four, and they have secured a great amount of evidence. The plan of the quartette was put into operation last June, when Peters made a litinvugraphic late of a draft of the Lincoln National ank of Chicago, on the Lincoln National Bank of New York. Smith and Connors operated in Ohio and Indiana, then in New ork City and still later in Michigan. Smith was sent to jail at Goshen, N. Y:, but escaped and is still at large. The other three men are in custody. It has been found that no less than thirty drafts for $65 each have been passed in the West. No great amount of money has been lost, but the method was a very dangerous one to the bankers, and the arrests are considered eo be of vast importance. ‘ Gladness Comes ith a better understanding of the Cleve- FOOT BALL AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 7.~The Prince- ton delegation of 20 which arrived in Bos- night are in high feather to-day — 5 —— 42 defeat ot the Harvard eleven on Soldiers’ Field this afternoon. The crimson enthusiasts do not pretend to claim a victory, a stubborn contest and good work, except by the tackles, being the most they can expect. The is perfect and insures an attendance of 20,000 or more. e Harvard team’s weakness is chiefly in the tackles and right here the Tigers will havea great advantage. Several untried substitutes will be put in by the home team and these have as yet scarcely learned to play together. It is not even sure that Capt. Wrightington will play, but probably he will be found at left half back at least in part of the game. Har- vard will endeavor to play a sharp punti derbilt College and the other from the Mis- souri State University, are struggling with each other at the Fair Grounds here, Har- vard and Princeton will be fighting over the campus at Cambridge. The indications all point to an easy victory for the Prinee- ton team, and unless something unexpected turns the tide of events the yellow and black of the Tigers will top the crimson all over the field. It is expected that fully 21,- 000 people will witness the game. The game here, while not attracting the vast throng that will go to Cambridge, has worked up an interest almost as intense and deep. The Missouri University boys are fresh and well rested, and are being cheered on to their work by a good big delegation from the college, which has the college yell well in hand and in excellent working order. The Vanderbilt eleven is in fine fettle, ac- cording to all accounts, and about equally matched with the University team. The day promises well for foot ball if the rain holds off with no sun to bother either side, and with a crisp, cool atmosphere the conditions are ideal. There is no frost in the ground, so that the field will be good and holding but not too hard to slam about upon freely. The teams will line up at 2:30 o’clock as follows: Missouri. Positions. Right end Vanderbilt Stringfield Hassett Langhout Hughes Crutchfield Brandon Blanton. Evars McAlister . Shepherd Quarter back .. . Right half-back Left half-back Full back Substitutes: Missouri—W.

The Columbia team arrived at the South- ern last night and the Vanderbilt arrived this morning on an early train. Both elevens took a preliminary knock Woolridge Connell about with the ball for a few minutes in the morning to ‘take the kinks out of their joints, but in the main devoted their time to resting and talking upon points, signals and foxy plays to be applied in the afternoon contest. A BICYCLE BILL. The Municipal Assembly Proposes a Fifty-Cent Annual Bicycle Tax. If all signs do not fail the St. Louis bi- cycle riders will have the privilege of pay- ing into the City Treasury the sum of 50 cents a year in the shape of licenses for their machines. The subject of bicycie licenses has been considerably talked over by the city officials for a year, but no defifite conclusion has yet been reached. Two propositions presented themselves. One was the simple plan of adding bicycles to the list of vehicles which should pay an annual license, and the other was to draw up and pass a special bicycle ordi- nance which would, in addition to fixing a tax, make other regulations regarding the rate of speed inside the city limits, the carrying of lights and bells, and the rule of the right of the road. In the measure now before the Assembly these matters have not been entered into, and the whole ordinance is practically a skeleton upon which the city fathers intend to build @ satisfactory law in the course cf time. Some bicyclists want to pay a doliar a year license for the reason that they will be entitled to demand more From the city in return than when they pay only 50 cents. Others argue that inasmuch as a buggy pays only $3.50, a bicycle, whicn does no damage to the streets, should not pay mere than half a dollar. The Council Committee having this matter in charge will shortly hold a public meeting to hear all that is to be said on either side of the subject. SHARKEY GETTING READY.

O’Donnell’s manager, “Billy Madden, promulgated the following: “If the sporting public want to see whether Corbett has gone back or not I am will- ing to let Steve O’Donnell go against him for a test of fifteen rounds, or as hard as Corbett wishes.

The Consul General Has Little Mili- tary News to Impart. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 7.—After a consultation with Secretary Olney, Consul General Lee called at the White House and paid his respects to the President. From what can be gleaned of the talk Gen. Lee left matters in Cuba very quiet by compari- son with what has gone before. Confined closely as he was to Havana, he was obliged to rely upon the same official reports as were telegraphed to the United States for news of what was going on in the field, so that his views of the military situation were rather narrow. Of course he was better prepared to discuss the economic as- pect of the Cuban question, and, after all, this is likely to figure as largely as any other factor in the consideration of ou future relations. * Concerning the future action of the ad- ministration respecting a change of policy on the part of the United States toward the insurgents, Gen. Lee diplomatically shields himself from answering questions. He leaves no doubt of his intention to retu „A post within a reasonable period o GUILTY OF EMBEZZLEMENT. Emile Arton Is Sentenced to Eight Years’ Imprisonment. VERSAILLES, France, Nov. 7.—The sec- ond trial of Emile Arton on the charge of embezzlement and fraudulent bankruptcy ended in a verdict of guilty of embezzle- ment. The prisoner was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment. Arton is said to have been implicated with Dr. Cornelius Herz and the late Baron Von Reinach in the Panama Canal frauds. He has all along been looked upon as a man who was in possession of valuable evidence against peo- ple in France of high standing and who are alleged to have been “S™plicated in the Panama Canal scandals. In fact, it is said that the whereabouts of Arton had long been known to the French authorities, but great influence was brought to bear, and for a long time he was not arrested. — — ARMS FOR CANADA. Significance of Military Supplies Sent From England. QUBBEC, Canada, Nov. 7.—The steamer Montevidean, which has just arrived from London, brought several hundred cases of new rifles and ammunition for the Canadian military authorities. The congignment is part of a large order which hds been pre- pared by the Imperial Government for shin. ment to Canada. These large shipments of arms and ammunition to Can have a greater interest in view of the reported projected increase of the British North American squadron at Halifax. In addition to the increase in the number of the men- of-war hich will be assigned to that station by a recent order in council, three torpedo destroyers are to be attached to every flagship. 55 TWIN PRINCES.

Ayvad of 324 Lenox av., New York, the well-known Armenian gentleman whose intelligent efforts on behalf of his countrymen are readily remembered, writes, November 19, 1895: “I had been suffering with indigestion for months. My food would distress me and many nights would I pass sleepless with an overladen stomach. As a rule I did not have much faith in patent medicines, but I had heard recently so much about Ripans Tabules that I thought I would give them a trial. I took one after each meal and on the second day I already began to feel.that it was helping me. Thergfore I continued to take them faithfully until I had used a whole box. Not only did it entirely cure me of my indigestion, but my appetite has so improved since that it is causing much content and pleasure to the other members of my family. As to myself, I do not hesitate a moment to state here that Ripans Tabules are a wonderful remedy for such trouble of the stomach as I had, and now I am so attached to them that I shall always have some in the house for the use of the family in case of need, and I also shall recommend them to my friends - whenever I have the opportunity.” One Gives Relief. .

New Years fes- x It is apparently impossible for the ot. Louis School Board to award contracts for Johnson Heat Regulating Co, reaping some benefit. What influence the company ex- erts over the members of the Board has never been disclosed. It is a potent influ- ence, however, and sometimes draws the Board and its Building Committee into tak- ing peculiar action. ? For several years the Johnson company has enjoyed a complete monopoly of school though there are chea ing the same results. e last time it wast specified was in connection with the now famous Peck-Williamson award, over whict injunction proceedings are now pen is the Circuit Court. In that contract it was necessary to pro- vide some system of heat regulation for the schools, and the Johnson system could be used as well as any other. The only fault to be found with the action of the Board was that it shut out all competi- tion. It remained for the Building Committee at its meeting Friday night to go further and provide for the use of the Johnson system, where it will not only be entirely ineffectual to accomplish what is intended, but will involve a useless expenditure the heating plant to which it is to be At- tached. The Attucks (colored) School at Seventh and Hickory streets, is among those for which temporary heating plants must provided for the winter. At the meeting of the Building Committee Friday night 4 contract for the work was awarded the Ringen Stove Co., the price being $380. This is regarded as very reasonable. After the award had been made, however, the Building Committee decided that the Johnson Heat Regulating Co. must have 4 share in the contract. Director Lacey mov- ed that the Johnson system be attached to the heating — and „ n Was opted without opposition. 425 questions were asked by any member of the committee as to what the system was to cost, or whether the system could be —— to experts on heating Appa- ratus no system of heat regulation can be used in connection with the furnace to be put in the Attucks School, It is to be an ordinary hot air furnace, without any hot-blast appliance or fan system. In the contracts heretofore made the Johnson Company with the School oard its price for its system has been from $75 to Thess cont teh ofenes sath te nstea * — — and it is expected that for present Case, tat that reason the rice on the Attuc The school has Ii rooms, an og 1 ona of the system m the cost oto” ringing the total cost for the system and the furnace to $1,236. Even this is Uke ly to be exceeded, as no agreement was rice when the Board ac- — — and, as in all previous contracts, the company has «a complete monopoly. TO COUNT THE VOTES.

Mrs. Demmler, a respectable lady, 70 years old, residing at 908 North Elghteenth street, is indignant at the manner in which she was arrested Friday evening. She was served with a warrant, charging her with petit larceny, Mary Duggan being the com- plainant. The deputy Sheriff who arrested Mrs. Demmler promised to telephone her son-in-law, Mr. Rockel, who 18 loyed in Bailey’s real estate off.ce. The deputy did not do so, but took the old lady to the Four Courts and had her incarcerated in the jail. When Mr. Rockel resurned home several hours later and learned that Mrs. Demmier had been arrested he hastened to she Four Courts to bail her out. Jailer Wag- ner at first declined to release Mrs. Demm- ler, saying that no pr.soner could be let out of jail after 5 o’clock. I> was only after much persuasion that he consented to Lb- erate the old lady from the vile company of his boarders. . ; a 8 The alleged offense was purely technical, Mary Duggan, a tenant, agreed to let Mrs. Demmler have her furniture if she, Mary Duggan, did not pay her rent. Mary moved away without paying and later replevined certain articles, although Mrs. asked him to. Mrs. Demmler was accused of appropriating these articles. JEDLICKA ACTED “STRANGE.” A Drunk Four Stories High Got Him in the Hospital. Frank Jedlicka, a Bohemian, came over from Edwardsville, III., to witness the ex- citement incident to the election. He tried to drink all the whisky there was in South St. Louis, but he failed, because as soon as he drank one barrel they would roll in an- other. He had a high old time and got along very well until Friday afternoon. He en- tered the saloon of John Kalal, Fourteenth street, and imbibed a few drinks, and then, according to spectators, com- commenced to act “strange.” His actions were so peculiar that the pro- prietor and all his other customers fled from ‘the place, while Jedlicka amused himself by demolishing the tables and chairs and trying to overturn the bar. After Kalal had regained his composure somewhat he called Patrolman Helderle and had the wild man arrested. He was suffer- ing from delirium with trimmings, and was sent to the City Hospital. FRED ROETTGER IS MISSING. Last Seen Tuesday ithe ae With a Red-Hot Bryan Man. Fred Roettger has been missing from his home at Baldwin street and St. Louis avenue since Tuesday night. Diligent search by his relatives has failed to discover him. He was at Sportsman's Park Tuesday night reading the bulletins. He left there in company with an unrecognized man. No- body who knows him has seen him since. Henry Borchers, one of his relatives, called at the City Dispensary Friday even- ing, but the records there do not show his name. Mr. Borchers said Roettger's family had no idea what had become of him, but added naively that he had learned that the man with whom he had left the park was a Bryan man. As Roettger is an ardent Re- publican, he thought this sufficient reason for suspecting foul play. Roettger has a wife and two children. He has been employed as a driver by a Third street commission house. LADIES WITH BRIGHT IDEAS. ent for a Novel Ente Their Church. The ladies of the Lafayette Park Presby- terian Church will give a novel entertain- ment on the first floor of the new Chemical Bullding, northeast corner Eighth and Olive streets, next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It will be for the benefit of the church, which was badly wrecked by the May tornado. A Feast of Days, a Doll Bazar and an Ad- vertising Carnival will make up the pro- gramme. Each day of the week will be represented by displays of articles useful in the household. The Doll Bazar will contdin the best exhibition of dolls ter made in St. Louis.

GEORGE M’MANUS’ HOUSE TO BE- GIN ITS SEASON. HENCEY IN “DEACON BRODIE.” Initial Performance at the Fourteenth Street Theater Promises to Be a Memorable One. When George McManus secured a lease on the pretty little playhouse at the corner of Fourteenth an@ Lucas place, he an- nounced that it would in future be known as the Fourteenth Street Theater: that it would her furniture. The Constable failed to take | Demmer would ca female footpads rained upon his head. As be a high class house in every respect; that the fact of an attraction appearing there would be a guarantee of merit, and that he r to the best and most critical class of theater-goers. He did not get control of the house till after the booking season was closed, and, in consequence, he was hard put for attrac- tions. He might have filled his dates with second rate shows, but, he reasoned, that that would be an infraction of his promise to the a to present nothing but attrac- tions of the first order of merit. He bided his time, declaring he would not open the house till he got a first-class company to presemt a high-class play. Finally he secured E. J. Henley in Dea- con Brodie.’’ The Opening will take place to-night and the engagement will run through next week. The play is said to be a strong one and the title role gives ample scope for Mr. Henley’s marked talent as a character ac- tor. here will probably be a large attend- ance of first-nighters, and if the attraction proves as strong as anticipated the audi- ences next week will pack the house. The theater has, since its construction, been noted as a handsome and cozy house, but Mr. McManus has had its beauty ma- lobby and fvyer. The entire interior has been repainted and the seats rearranged. It is now one of the prettiest and most comfortable playhouses in the country, and does not autler by comparison with either the spick aud span new Century or the elegant and commodious Olympic. In the matter of seating capacity it is smaller than the Century and but little more than half as large as the Olympic. The reduction in the number of seats is principally in the galleries. The location is particularly desirable for-a house that caters exclusively to a high class patronage. Every line of cars that touches a residence section of the city runs within one biock, or, in some rare cases, two, of the house. The streets on which the house is located are paved with asphalt, so that pass- ing teams do not interfere with the enjoy- ment of audiences. The neighborhood is quiet and the thoroughfares tg the various car lines are such that ladies without escorts * safely traverse them at night. r. McManus is deservedly popular as a purveyor of amusements. He was connect- ed with the late John Norton in the man- agement of the Grard Opera-house for sev- eral years, and after Mr. Norton’s death ran the house for its owners. He is courteous of mahner, and takes a pride in his profes- sion, striving always to give the public an adequate return for its patronage. His old friends’ will take care that he loses nothing by his new venture. ST. LOUISANS WERE WINNERS. A Pleasing Feature of Society Night at the Horse Show. Society night at the Horse Show was enjoyable in point of brilliant attendance, and the fact that the home folk got the lion’s share of the prizes. The opening event was for Shetland mares. Holmes & Garth of Kansas City carried off the honors with Midnight, and C. E. Bun of Peoria took second prize with Princess. The special class, pair to mail, spider or T' cart, made a lively competition. Mr. George D. McLaughlin of Chicago was, as usual, the winner. His handsome outfit was drawn by His Majesty and the In- dian, Mr. C. Sterling's Spider was second, Mr. Keyes’ third and J. D. Mar- shall’s turnout fourth. There were fourteen entries to the class E. G. Stutte of Kansas City got the blue ribbon with Siby!, with Tom Barrett's Janie Shelton a close second. Internal was third, and Guy Warren’s Wickla fourth. The class for the best appointed victoria, cabriolet, or vis-a-vis, kept for private use, brought a splendid ring of handsome turnouts. Dr. J. J. Lawrence's was first, . D. Marshall’s second, Mrs. F: De Laney Wickes’ third, E. G. Findlay of Kansas Ciiy fourth. There was an extra prize for the winning coachman, Mr. Marshall’s man carried off the money with ease. In the combined ring for geldings Ed Mallinckrodt’s Dandy cantered off with first to unconscious to the sidewalk.

Marshall’s outfit was a close second, but Mr. Lucas caught the judges by equip- g his brake with all the incidentals for ong journey. Mr. E. C. Sterling and Mr. S. P. Keyes took the remaining prizes in the order named. There was a special rise of $10 for hornblowing awarded to r. Marshall's man, Peter T. Gors on. An egg and spoon race was an amusing feature. Saturday afternoon was given over en- tirely to Saturday night’s programme, which includes the police drill, mares, rack, trot and canter, high schoo! stallions, pair to brougham, saddle stallions, Shetland mere and colt, and a contest for lady riders, with mount astride.

DAVID C. FRASER’S LONG AND PERILOUS JOURNEY ON FOOT. HIS BATTLE WITH WOLVES. & Western Athlete Tramping From Aberdeen, Wash., to Boston to Earn $3,000. David C. Fraser, after a two days’ rest in St. Louis, resumed a walk Of 3,168 miles Saturday morning. He left the home of his brother R. M. Fraser, 3727 Lucky street at 7 o’cjock, and walked to the Eads Bridge. At East St. Louis he took the Wabash tracks and set out briskly for Toledo, O. Fraser’s home is in Aberdeen, Wash., and he is a member of the Athletic Club of that city. The club offered a prize of $3,000 to any one of its members who would walk across the continent from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. Fraser undertook the task. It was spe- fied that he should leave Aberdeen July 14, and reach Boston on or before January 14. It was required that he should walk every step of the distance and it was positively understood that there should be no appeals for assistance along the line. Fraser had plenty of money when he started and it was understood that he could spend it for any- thing he liked save transportation. He is nearly a month ahead of his schedule and, although it necessitated a walk of one hundret and seventy miles to come down to St. Louis and see his brother, he decided to do it. days he has resumed his journey and is con- fident of getting into Boston at least a month earlier than required. David Charles Fraser was born in Aber- deen, Scotland, 28 years ago. With his per- ents he came to America at an early age. They located in Canada, where he received his early education: Fifteen years ago he went West and became a cowboy. For several years he has been in Aber- deen, a prominent member of the Athletic Club, under whose auspices he is traveling. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall, straight.as a shingle, and his muscles are like steel. He has a handsome face, darkened by exposure, His eyes are dark and he wears a slight black mustache. He is intelligen d is furnishing interesting letters of his™travels to the leading paper of the city he repre- sents. Mr. Fraser is proud of the fat that he is the first white man to succeed in crossing —. Shoshone pnd Great Snake Deserts on oot, For a distance of 295 miles there is abso- lutely no sign of Hfe. There is no water for that distance and no food can be se- cured. Fraser carried food and water with him and handicapped with this he averaged thirty-seven miles per day through the desert. He had a thrilling adventure with wolves on the night of Aug. W. had left Boise City, Idaho, and set out for Hawley. Ninety miles out from Boise City he camped for the night. He built a small camp fire, but could not sleep for the noise of what he thought were coyotes. He arose and started to drive them off. When he left the camp, instead of running up against coyotes he found they were fierce gray wolves. Raven- ous from hunger, they assaulted him. He realized his danger and ran. They pursued him and literally tore his clothes from him. They followed him clear to the camp fire, and while he was reaching for. a fire brand they pounced upon him, t rowing him into the fires When he brandished a blazing stick the. wolves flied. Badly burned he managed to keep the wolves at bay by flourishing his fire-brand all night. Next day he walked painfully along and met a Swede, who took him to the Sisters’ Hospital, at Hawley, where be remained a week, allowing his wounds to heal. He said he was the only patient received there in three years. . On Oct. 15 he came near losing his life a@Huntington, Kan. He was walking on the St. Joe and Grand Island tracks. He started to cross a high trestle, buf stepped | aside when he hear a train coming. Af- ter the train had passed he again started ‘across. He had not proceeded more than | half way wher he hear repeated whistles from an engine behind him. He looked around and saw another train almost upon ‘him. There was no room to step aside, and he lowered himself and hung to the ties. The rushing of the water 40 feet below and the rumble of the train above him so af- | fected him that he dropped. He struck the bank and rolled into the water. He dragged himself out and was laid up in Huntington a week, STANSKI LOST HIS MONK. Her Name Is Blanche and She Is Out \ in the Cold World, William Stanski, a sojourner in these parts | from the land of Garibaldi, is in deep trou- ble, all on account of da monk! on which he has been dependant for a liv@lihood. When Stanski called at the Four Courts Saturday morning he wae in @ state of great mental perturbation. After much jabbering and a great deal of | superfiuous noise he finally succeeded in ' conveying to Chief Desmond the knowledge that he was shy' one monkey. Stanski belongs to a crowd of nomads who have a camp in South St. Louis, and wha, go around town picking up pennies ' through the medium of performing monkeys with a hand organ accompaniment. Stanski claims that he rented his particu- lar monk to the loud-voiced gentleman who is conducting an animal show at Sixth and | Olive streets. ‘hen he called Saturday morning to re- | cover the Simian he was informed that it had broken the bonds of captivity and fled into the wide, wide world, with the ther- mometer rapidly falling and a snow storm threatened. Stanski doubted the story, and called on the police to assist him in recoverisg his treasure. The visitor was turned over to Special Of- ficer Joe Gocking, the tall sycamore who speaks Sanscrit as fluently as he does Choc- taw, and he obtained a description of the animal. It is of the female persuasion, named Blanche; and is said to be good looking. Stanski does not know whether she is an A. P. A. or an A. P. E., but says that she is modest and will not stand any monkeying. He Never Came Back. Adolph Ambrog, 12 years old, ran away from his home, 1047 Geyer avenue, nine days ago, and 4s still at large.

Herr “Butch” Wagner went through an unpleasant ordeal Friday afternoon. Judge Edmunds of Criminal Court No. 1 insisted that the keeper of the city’s bastile answer a few pointed and pungent questions. Wagner is a great politician. He holds the keys that kept from the polls 300 voters. Did he allow any of them to vote last Tuesday? A rumor was afloat that Wagner swelled the Republican majority a few by taking several prisoners out of jail to the polis and permitting them to exercise the right of citizenship before he led them back to their cells. The rumor reached the ears of Judge Bad- munds. The Judge recalled the night last spring when Stack“ -Lee, a negro murderer, was taken out of jail, was guided to the dens of immorality, reveled in wine, women and song and was taken back to his cell at daybreak, when he was so drunk he had to be carried on the, shoulders of friendly guards. The next day Jud Edmunds issued an order on the Jailer that no prisoner should be taken out of the jail except by the order of the Court. His order was law and he expected it to be obeyed. He was considerably per- turbed when he heard the rumor that Herr Wagner had taken prisoners out of jail to vote, and the Judge was certain that he had issued no orders to that effect. Friday afternoon Judge Edmunds in- structed Chief Deputy Sheriff Huebler to produce in court forthwith the body of Jaller Butch'“ Wagner. 1 Herr Wagner was found in his office perus- ing a journal on jail escapes. He was hustled up to Criminal Court No. 1 and brought before the bar. . His face is naturally red, but then it was vermilion. He twitched at his hat nerv- ously with his fingers. The fear that he might be thrown in jail. for contempt and become his own prisoner had seized him. Is it true, Mr. Wagner,” the Judge said, “that you took prisoners out of the jail to vote on election day?” “No, sir, your Honor,” came the feeble reply, and the jailer nearly gagged himself with fear. F ou recall the order I gave some time ago about taking prisoners out of jail?’ said the court. “Yes, sir, your honor; but honestly, sir, no prisoners were taken out to vote on election day. I know it because the guards told me sd, your honor,” and the Jailer’s knees beat a tattoo on each other, which wa#plainly audible all over the court room. The declaration of innocence seemed to satisfy Judge Edmunds, and he commanded “Butch” to go his way. “Butch” -positively (denies that any pris. oners were taken out of jail election day. TO REFORM POLITICS. Workingmen’s Bryan Club Will Pre- serve Its Organization Intact. A well-attended meeting of the Exécutive Committee of the Workingmen’s Bryan Club was held at 604 Market street Friday night. The object was to effect a perma- nent organization of the club and consider- able enthusiasm was manifested. Four ward branches of the club reported having already called meetings for that purpose. They only waited the action of the central club to begin work. “Much bitterness was expressed against the local managers of both political parties,”’ said a member of the Executive Committee, “and the Executive Committee 1 to outline a policy to be submitted to the club having for its objects to enter the politica! arena in the municipal election next spring as a non-partisan body for a good city government and as an inveterate enemy of rings, ward heelers and the boodle elements of both parties. It does not propose to nominate candidates, but will undertake to throw its 12,000 membership of active work- ers in favor of men who will have the cour- age to attempt needed reforms of present methods. . At present it is claimed that thousands of workmen get and retain work—not only municipal work, but under private indi- viduals and large contractors—through the influence of ward politicians, and this gives the ward heelers their great strength in their evil work of retaining control of municipal affairs. The workingmen propose to destroy this, as the only means of de- stroying the corrupt political rings of the city, and to see that thousands of dollars annually diverted from legitimate channels to line the pockets of ward bosses and heelers be expended honestly on city work and thus give employment to numbers of St. Louis workingmen now idle. They be- lieve every intelligent business man of both political parties will indorse them in this undertaking and materially assist. them in bringing about these reforms, even though it be necessary to nominate independent candidates against two sets of boodlers and ringsters.“ KUNKEL’S FEAST OF MUSIC.

"The children were without clothing.” The home was of ehildren seen by as bed, were thus dre because o ficiency of clothing and had to stay in consequence. children in the Nursery, 1623 2. That the Olive street, St. Louis, were neglected b the officers of the society and threate with starvation.” 3. That the State Superintendent receives $150 per month. That he was permitted to pay a visit to California and continue to draw $150 per month. There were various other statements and insinuations closely related to these, but the correction of these will enable the ers of the Post-Dispatch to make allowance for the others. * Before proceeding to the formal refuta- tion of these charges, I wish to sax that the control and management of the Childrens Home Society of Missouri Nugsery has been for some time, and is still, the hands of the Ladies’ Auxiliary Board. All the 80. ciety has had to do with it was to furnis# the money to run it. This the society has never failed todo. The Executive Commit- tee of the society meets regularly on the first Tuesday of each month to audit ac- counts, has never failed to furnish every dollar asked for by the Ladies’ Aux- iliary. If, therefore, the condition of af- fairs in the Nursery had been as reported in the Post-Dispatch, the society would not have been responsible for it. But they were not as reported, as shall be shown. The first and second charges, viz., that the children were in danger of starvation and without clothing, etc., shall be answered to- gether. That they are both false we have the sworn testimony of the cook and nurse in the Nursery at 1623 Olive street, St. Louis. The nurse has held her position since July 16, 1896, and the cook since March, 189, and each still holds her position. These affi- davits state that the then acting matron previously to the scarcity of and clothes complained of, said she intended to “allow the supplies of the home to run down’’—“‘allow the provisions in the institu- tion to be consumed until there was but very little left, when she intended to report the situation — would have the situation fully reported in a manner to wake the ladies up.“ Affidavits further state that in pursuance of this plan the ‘provisions were consumed until there was much less on hand than usual’’—‘‘until they were much lower than affiant had ever fore seen them.“ Then the matron went, pro- fessedly, to the office of the Post-Dispatch. That soon after the matron’s return to the Nursery the Post-Dispatch reporter called and was shown through the house. These affidavits also state that even on the occa- sion of the reporter's visit to the Nursery the situation was by no means destitute. They also state, and the truthfulness of the statement can be shown from other sources, that at the time of the reported destitution, the Nursery was receiving regularly three times a week donations of meat from the Armour Packing Company, six gallons of milk daily from the St. Louis Dairy Com- pany and one bushel of vegetables from a vegetable man (Henry Kersieck is the man’s name). Now, it is clear to any thoughtful person that with these donations alone there was no need of a child suffering for food, much less being in danger of starvation.” One of these affidavits also states that the then acting matron told her that Mr. Bollman, treasurer of the society, had offered to fur- nish her money to meet the uirements of the home at any time, Mr. Bollman himself says he did tell the matron previously to any publication in the paper that he would furnish her with necessary money for the Nursery at any time. i As to the destitution of clothing, one.of the affidavits states that during her employ- ment in the home “it has been constantly provided with wearing apparel for all the children and suitable to all seasons.“ She also states that a few days previous to the visit of the Post-Dispatch reporter the ma- tron had had the heaviest winter clothing,” consisting of boys’ coats, overcoats, wooien dresses, shirts and flannel underwear taken up to a room in the third story,“ and that she did not, when showing the reporter through the linen room, tell him of the clothes thus removed. ° In view of these facts it is clear that there was no real destitution of either food or clothing’ in the Nursery, and that if there had been it would not have been the fault of either the Ladies’ Auxiliary Board or of the Children’s Home Society of Missouri. The third charge, viz., that the State Su- rintendent receives $150 per month — that amount while neglecting his du- tles on a visit to California, is as false as the other charges have been shown to be. I have a sgatement from H. man, tgeasurer of the Children's Home 8 of Missouri, in which he states over h signature (this statement was hanc Col, Jones the same time the affidavite were handed to him): “I will-also state that during your visit to California in the month of August, 1896, you received no compensa- tion from the society and paid out of your own pocket a young lady to keep the office during said visit.” The same statement from the treasurer shows that from oy 4 2. 1895, to Sept. 30, 1896, fifteen months, the State Superintendent re- ceived $1,488.30, or less than $100 per mon while during the same period he collect and turned into the treasury $1,684.32 in cash, besides securing in pledges for the society $763.95. Instead of receiving $150 per month the Superintendent has received less than $100 — month, while he has turned into the reasury from his own personal work $112.15 7-15 per month.
