No sooner was this normal and natural ‘process of ghrinkage begun than envious competitors of the Post-Dis- patch began a systematic campaign to stampede Advertisers and Business Men into the belief that the Post-Dispatch's eir- culation was going to pieces.

Of course this was false. But even if it were true, the Post-Dispatch might lose all that it vas claimed it had lost and still be thousands ahead of any her Bt. Louis newspaper in city circulation. . very one in St. Louis who has been in the habit of occasionally dropping around to the Planters’ Hotel has noticed the pretty face of Miss Minnie Whitney smiling through the iron frame work of the cash- er's window, And when those who know | her saw by the morning papers that she was to wed a millionaire from the Republic ( of Mexico they were heartily glad of it. ~ But there were a few who had no reason to congratulate the young woman on her choice, despite the glowing descriptions of the wealthy Mexican’s high standing in both a social and a business way, and they pro- cooded to let out of the bag a very abie- bodied and cantankerous cat. | The name of Miss Whitney's future lord was given as Senor E. B. Cuney. Now it hap- pened that there was a young man about this town a little over a year ago by this game name, and he had a woman with him who passed as his wife. No one had ever geen any marriage certificate, but he gave u out that the law sanctioned their rela- tions, and his suspecting associates let it @o at that. Investigation proved that the Mexican millionaire was none other than the same E. B. Cuney who had formerly traded around these parte in double harness, and immediately it developed upon those who knew the secret to prevent his wronging the sweet-faced and trusting young cashier at the Planters’. In order to realize the perturbation into which these good people were thrown it is . = * certain the truth. The Post-Dispatch proposes that a conimittee of repre- sentative St. Louis advertisers be appointed ih any fair way, and that to this Committee shall be submitted All the books of the respective newspapers, including cash books, ledgers, circulation books and any other books of account asked for, to the end that a searching examination be made as to the circulation of each newspaper. When its investigation is concluded, let this committee make a full report of its findings as to each newspaper, setting forth the circulation of the several newspapers during the past six months and at the present time. Let the report include the circulation in detail of each newspaper—namely, the circulation in the country or outside of St. Louis, the circulation in the city of St. Louis and adjacent suburbs, and the total circulation.

BOVCOTTING :- a 4 4. —— — CHAIRMAN COOK OF THE STATE COMMITTEE GIVES HIS VIEWS. o MAJ-SALMON AGREES WITH HIM. The People in St. Louis Trade Terri- tory Would Bitterly Resent a Boycott of. the Post-Dispatch. Chairman Cook of the Democratic State Committee and Maj. Salmon of the Execu- tive Committee reached St, Louis this morn- ing. Their presence here gave rise to va- rious rumors concerning State and local politics. It is claimed in local political circles that the State Committee was anx- fous to obtain all the facts in connection with the contests that will probably grow out of the recent election in the city. An- other rumor was that Democrats through- out the State were greatly exercised about what they understood to be a systematic business boycott by certain gold standard merchants against the Post-Dispatch and that the State Committee would take it up. Mr. Cook and Maj. Salmon were seen at the Planters’ Hotel. They were found settling up. some of the State Commit- tee’s affairs. When asked as to the rumors in circulation, Mr. Cook, voicing the senti- ment of both Maj. Salmon and himself, said: “We are greatly interested in the con- tests likely to grow out of the recent election. We have good cause to believe that at least a portion of the St. Louis city ticket was elected, and that the real majority of McKinley and Lewis as well as that of the Republican candidates for Congress will be greatly reduced by an honest review of the re- turns. In several of the local contests it is more than probable that the majority claimed will be wiped out altogether. „As to the business boycott, we are slow to believe that any rational business man in Missouri can be so short-sighted as to enter into a conspiracy of this kind. The feeling is rapidly growing throughout the State, however, that the conspiracy has been entered into by certain gold standard merchants in this city to boycott those who fought McKinley and Filley in the recent contest in Missouri. The State Committee, as an organization, does not, ef course, de- sire to be drawn into a contest of this char. acter. Our policy has been to keep business and politics completely divorced; we are for building up rather than tearing down. The 360,000 citizens of Missouri who supported Mr. Bryan and the Democratic State ticket, however, would not be slow to resent in a most positive way any attempt on the part ot anyone to direct the mercantile interests of this city into a business boycott, In all the territory tributary te the bus ness interests of St. Louis the free silver stantial] gains.

DENVER, Colo., Nov. 13.—J. B. McMul- len, a consumptive of Bristol, Conn., died at the County Hospita] a week ago, and the fact that he was penniless has involved-two well known undertakers in a suit at law to decide which shall have the privilege of furnishing his funeral outfit. ‘The case will be heard Saturday before Justice Crane. The affair has already had several sensational chapters and the County Commissioners and an express Company are mixed up in it. Undertaker Hall has the contract for the burial of county charges, and McMullen’s remains were taken to his place from the hospital. Later Attorney A. Illoris, a friend of the deceased, who had been requested by the latter to look after his obsequiés, se- eured an order from the County Gommis- | sioners for the body and had it removed to the establishment of Undertaker Miller. Hall then telegraphed the dead man’s sister Mrs. McGlade, of Bristol, Conn., and she wired him to send the remains to her. He secured an attachment and had the body Miller at onte replevined the corpse, giving a $400 redeliy- dond, and on Wednesday even em- med ane 1 ond 10 — Bristol by = Foe ec and th he will carry t 6 dans 2 if necessary.

Harvey Salmon Says His Commit- tes Will Assist St. Louis Candi- dates in Their Contests. — — About UI o’clock Friday forenoon about forty State Committeemen and “friemis” of the Wall street wing of the Democratic met in solemn session on the eighth floor of the Rialto Building. They were called together through cards of invitation issued by Chairman Edward Cunningham and Secretary William Reedy to consider the future course of the Hes- siane and to decide what punishment should be meted out to the 300,000 or more silver Democrats in Missouri, who declined to wear the Wall street collar. Among those present when Chairman Ka- ward Cunningham rapped for order were J. McD. Trimble of Kansas City, the late Assistant Republican candidate for Gov- ernor of . T. B. Buckner, A. L. O. Schueler, T. W. itten and Richard Gen- ry ot Kansas mae J. Marsh of ance . nker, G. J. Tansey . W. M. Reedy and several members from the country. Most of the coun districts were repre- sented by proxy, however, and those who came from a distance were the fortunate ones who insisted in soy last that the rail- coor should make out their passes good un- 31, .

Gov. Stone Honors Custom, Saying “There Are Few Conditions That Could Not Be Worse.” JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Nov. 13.—Gov. William J. Stone has issued the following Thanksgiving proclamation: The President of the United States having designated Thursday, the 26th day of No- vember, 1896, as a day of national thanks- giving, it is becoming that I should, in pursuance of custom, supplement the proc- lamation of the President by appointing the same day to be a day of thanksgiving in this commonwealth, under the designation of * public authority. The ways of Provi- dence are not always entirely clear to mor- tal eyes, but in his own way and his own time the Lord works out his ends. It is sufficient for us to know that God is always good and merciful. There are few condl- tions that could not be worse, and, no matter what causes may exist for discon- tent, there are always ebundant reasons for gratitude and 9 The occur- rences of the year have not been unmixed with evil, but it Is safe to say that Missouri has as little reason to complain of the bad things, and as much reason to rejoice for the good things that have fallen to the common lot as any other State in the Union. I therefore invoke the good people of the State to abstain from their usual employ- ments, and, by appropriate services, to ob- serve the 26th mew A of the present month as a day of thanksgiving. In testimony whereof I ha my hand and caused to be a geal of the State of Missouri. Done at the City of 4 8 this 12th day of November, . WILLI STONE, Governor. hereunto set xed the great A. AM J. A. A. LEPSUBUR, Secretary of State. BROUGHT TO TERMS. The Laclede Gas Co. Will Furnish Fuel Gas to the City Hospital. Supervisor of City Lighting A. J. O'Reilly has brought the Laclede Gas Company to terms and the supply of gas will not be cut off from the City Hospital. General Manager Ross of the company called on Comptroller Sturgeon Fray and said that an understanding had been ar- rived at. O'Reilly said the understanding was Mr. Catarrh Is just as surely a disease of the blood as is scrofula. So say the best authorities. How foolish it is, then, to expect a cure from snuffs, inhalants, etc. The sensible course is to purify your blood by taking the best blood purifier, Hood’s Sarsaparilla. This medicine has permanently cured Catarrh in a multitude of cases. It goes to the root of the trouble, which is : impure Biood. “I have been afflicted with nasal catarrh | r bil in line with the request first made by him to the company that, as the gas was used for fuel purposes, it should be charged as such, for the reason that his department was not unser obligation to pay City Hospital fuel 8. ' The Mr. O'Reilly is not concerned about that. FEMALE JAIL GUARD. The Appointment Recommended by the House Ways and Means Committee. After months of earnest endeavor the Humanity Club is in a fair way ef ac- complishing tts purpose of having a female night guard appointed at the jail. The Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Delegates held a protracted session Friday, an hour of which was de- voted to the discussion of the matter. Mesdames Harrison, Hitchcock, Allen and Black of the Humanity Club were present and gave urgent reasons for the appoint- ment. They said that the appointment of a fe- male guard in the day time, while a step in the right direction, by no means solved the question or removed the main objec- tions to male guards having supervision over female prisoners. It was at night the greatest opportunities for abuse arose, and at present the male guards had access to 8 of the female prisoners at night. The Comptroller and Jailer were also pres- ent, and the Comptroller joined the commit- tee in recommending to the House that the petition of the Humanity Club be granted. The recommendation will go to the House at the meeting Friday evening, and while me discussion may be provoked it is not oubted that the action of the committee will determine the action of the House.

The time within which electrical compa- nies may make advance application for ad- mission to the conduits under the terms of Ordinance No, 18,680, known as the Keyes bill, will expire next Tuesday, but so far no such . has been formally made. Two gentlemen appeared at the meeting of the Board of Public Improvements Friday f for that purpose, but received such informa- tion as led them to defer doing so. One of them was Moses Greenwood, Jr., and the other did not make himsel said he represented the Citizens’ Electric Light Company. Mr. Greenwood did not say what company be represented. In conversation with Commissioners Hol- man and Colby before the board was called to order, they learned what they did not seem to have discovered before, that as the ordinance is construed, companies which have not made application may appear at the public hearing to be held on Dec. 7 and at that time e application for streets and alleys for which another company has made formal application.

He Belongs to the First Family of Bowling Green and Was a Social Lion. Percy B. Sullivan, the kid-gloved, blonde- haired gentleman, who pines in jail because United States detectives think he is a counterfeiter, proves to be a young Ken- tucky Hotspur. High born, suave, gallant and an idol among the ladies, he has run the gamut of follies, and incidentaly proved himself a soldier, almost as brave as that other Percy who helped put a crown on the head of Henry of England. Former chums of his, who live in St. Louls or have passed through the city since his arrest, have supplemented Sullivan’s per- gonal history and filled in the many gaps which he made in bis own narrative. Sullivan belongs to one of the first families of Kentucky, and was a social lion until he showed a bad streak. He was born in Bow- ling Green, Ky., and his mother is the hand- somest woman and the society leader of that city.

The Democratic party will make no concessions to this programme at any point. Least of all will it concede the perpetuation of the national debt and the surrender of the currency to corpor- rate control, Whatever else happens in this country, the national debt must be paid and the control of the national currency taken from private corporations and vested in the nation itself. The issue is vital. It goes to the roots of our independent existence as a nation and of our institutions as a péople. The Democratic party is ready for it. “KING NOR CLOWN.” What is this? What evil days have come upon the land that Jim Cronin’s “pull” is not strong enough to remove a detective who refuses to be thrashed by Cronin's bar- keeper? Is civilization a failure? Or is Jim Cronin played out? Be it remembered that Cronin’s bar- keeper, in the presence of three members of the detective police, had declared that Jim Cronin’s “pull” was of the necessary length and heft to fre“ any member of the police, from the Chief down, who might be forninst“ him. And be it re- membered also that Cronin’s barkeeper then and there attacked Detective O’Con- nell and got the worst of it. And let it not be forgotten that when the mighty Cronin essayed to remove O'Connell from the force, he got the stony stare. Surely the St. Louis policeman’s lot is nota happy one. He can detect criminals and Zachritz will release them. He can arrest malefactors and Murphy will dis- charge them. If Cronin had succeeded in removing O’Connell the fact would have been taken as an official declaration that no member of the force reserves to him- self any of the rights of citizenship or manhood when he puts on the uniform. It is well to draw the line. We are mak- ing a start in the right direction. If we keep up the pace we may reach a point to justify the boast that “no King nor crown can rule this town.“ THEIR VIBW OF POVERTY. Wall Street organs continue to assert that the people of the States which voted for Bryan are the worst poverty-stricken in the Union. It actually seems to these people that wealth, no matter how obtained, is not — evidence of virtue, but is virtue lcself, the very crown and glory of mor- ality—the grace which makes perfection. They look on poverty—such poverty as that of Benton, or Jackson, or Lincoln— as evidence of criminal imbecility. It has not occurred to them, and it is not likely to do so, that the wise burglar seldom makes public boast of how much richer his own house is than the houses he has recently plundered of everything he thought worth taking. — — — 4 — The complete Missouri returns show conclusively what the returns from the entire country will be as soon as the is- sues of our politics are presented to the country as they have been in Missouri.

(he War Department Also Makes an Unusual Inquiry of Southern Railroads. — i CHICAGO, TIL, Nov. 13.—A special to the Gvibune from Washington, D. C., says: While the navy is being placed on a war footing, in anticipation of possible trouble with Spain, growing out of the Cuban re- bellion, the army is equally active in its warlike preparations, especially along the Gouth Atlantic coast. Gen. Craigh!ll, Chief of Engineers of the Army, has just returned from a hurried in- gpection of the fortifications now in course of construction at Galveston, Tex., Ft. Sam Philip on the Mississippi River, below New Orleans, Mobilep Ala, Pensacola, Key West and further inland. These works of eoastwise defense have been quietly but rapidly pushed toward completion, and Gen, Craighill has reported to the Secretary of War that all or nearly all of them will be y for occupancy hy Dec. 15. Gen. Craighil would not say hat the work on these fortifications and the orders for their immediate completion had any bearing upon the Cuban question, but he oe a significant emphasis upon the re- that “Just now we are exerting all the energy of the engineer corps in the work upon those fortifications.” At the last session of Congress an appro- priation of $5,000,000 was provided for im- Mediate expenditure upon the coast de- tenses from Maine to Texas, besides as much more for contracts. This being an unusually liberal amount, orders were given exercise all due haste in the work along e Southern Coast. Gen. Craighill says the work on the forti- has been pushed forward to the ex on of other business of the engineer department.

LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 13.—Abe Lamp- from of 1601 Chestnut street, Louisville, made an unsuccessful attempt to abduct Stanley Hood, an 18-year-old girl, from the House of Mercy here. Lampfrom had writ- ten her a letter asking her to marry him and he had also sent persons to see her for him. He is infatuated with the girl, he says, and had lost sight of her until a notice appeared in the papers a few days ago, in which it was stated that she had attempted to drown herself in the Work- house pond. It was for this reason that the House of Mercy took her in. She is the daughter of the late Dr. John Hood, who died a few years ago at Quincy, III. Her mother married a man named Honn, and moved to California. She is said to be heir to $30,000, left by will of her grandfather. She met Lampfrom at Winchester, Ky., and being a beautiful girl, he fell in love with her, taking her to Louisville. He wanted to marry her, but she determined to avoid him, and finding this difficult in Louisville, came to Lexington. Here she grew tired of her sinful life and desired to go home. Too proud to ask her mother’s forgiveness, she decided to end her life and but for a work- man discovering her struggling in the water would have been successful. DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY.

Io was purchased by the founder of the “Jim" Campbell party. Sec- retary Wm. M. Reedy of the “sound money” committee was retained as editor under the new management. And with this week’s edition of the paper war broke ov) in Hanna land. Proprietor Campbell and Editor Reedy may have wanted plums in Washington. They may have thought that Secretary Francis would havé @ lot of political fruit to distribute, and that when the parceling out was made they would be in it, knee deep or a little deeper. At any rate, they have begun to “holler.” Thursday’s edition of the Mirror con- tained a “roast” on Secretary Francis, served sans gravy and blood raw. “The First Piece of Pie“ was me cap- tion, and in the article proper Secretary Francis was handled without gloves. This es a starter: ; “There is something’ peculiar in ‘the way that rewards are distributed in politics. They generally fall into the hands, or upon the heads, of those least deserving of them, or, to be more honest, upon those who are Strategic enough to put themselves in atti- tudes which attract to them a great deal of credit without exposing their private fort- unes to great or immediate danger. I have in mind at this particular moment the case of Mr. David Rowland Francis, Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Francis obtained his Cabinet portfolio upon the supposition that he was a sound money man. There is no doubt that Mr. Francis was a sound money man up to the time of Mr. Bryan’s nomina- tion, nor is there any doubt that he has been a gound money man since-the day he was appointed to his present position by Mr. President Cleveland. But there is a painful hiatus between the day upon which Mr. Bryan was nominated and the day upon which Mr. Francis was appointed, which is characterized by a silence so dense that a deaf person can hear it.” 0 After a half column more of thie—just as HOSPITAL PIGMY a 1 2 * 7 3 2 a. the horrified silver Democrat begins to won- der if the whole bakery is not involved in- stead of only one piece of pie, he discovers the office of Collector of Internal Revenue for the Easterg District of Missouri. mocracy represented by the Mr. Jim“ Campbell party, has recommended one C. A. M. Schlierholz. He is indorsed by the bolt- ers as ‘“hot stuff,“ because during the campaign he spoke in German to the voters of Missouri urging them to scratch the Democratic ticket and vote for Wall street. It appears that Secretary Francis doesn't want Alphabet Schllerhols; he wants Way- man McCreary. On this point Proprietor Campbell and Editor Reedy have this to say: “It now appears that Gov.

The arrival of a new baby at the City Hospital is of too common occurrence to arouse enthusiasm in the physicians and attaches. Babies are born there about every other day.

These records clearly show a remarkable revival of business since the election. Bulld- ing agtivities have increased fully 90 per cent and they are still on the increase, For almost a year past the business of the office has been on a steady decline, reaching its lowest point during the two months pre- ceding the election, when the number of bullding permits issued were less than 300, instead of ranging from 1,000 to 1,800 as was formerly the case.

Nothing like this assault on Sec- retary Francis was ever made by an oppo- sition paper, and to have it come from the organ of the bolters is as much of a surprise as it was when the returns showed that Palmer and Buckner had actually polled over 200 votes in the city of St. Louis out of a total of 124,000 cast.

When the Battle Ended the Young) Stranger Took His Silk Hat and Calmly Strolled Homeward. Jim Cronin’s saloon, at Twelfth and Wal- nut streets, was the scene of an unusual fight with a most surprising ending, early Friday morning. Jack O'Connor, the famous Cleveland base ball team’s backstop; Tom Courtney, another ball player of national reputation, and Dock Sweeney, the. notorious bar- tender at Cronin’s more notorious resort, were vanquished in a most inglorious fash- ion by a stylishly dressed, slight and dudish individual. ' O’Connor and Courtney had been sitting around the bar all night, \and Sweeney. gracious en- They were under the had been making his most deavors to entertain them. all drinking, and were pretty influence. They tired of story, telling, and when the dudish individual entered they thought a new source of amusement had been provided for their entertainment. It was about 4 o’clock Friday morning that the stranger came in. His light col- ored overcoat was buttoned up tight, end displayed a trim, but slight figure. A shining silk tile adorned his head, pointed patent leather shoes prajected his feet, and a palr of gold-rimmed spectacles ornament- ed his nose. 9 He walked in briskly, unbuttoning his coat as he strode up to the bar. Taking off his gloves and rubbing his hands he said in a well modulated tone: “Mr. Barkeeper, I would like a glass of good whisky, if you please,“ and he ran his hands in his trousers pocket and threw a halt dollar on the counter. O'Connor aroused himself and gaid in aw voice that reached the stranger, Well. that’s a good thing. Let's take that fellow out in the garden and have some fun with him.“ Courtney thought the idea was a capital one and arose ready for the anticipated fun. Sweeney thought the night had been alto- gether too uneventful and welcomed the stylishly clad individual as a godsend. Leaning over the bar with an insulting leer, he said: “Say, young feller, what is your business, anyway?’ The “young feller’ drank his glass of whisky and replied: My business cannot possibly be any of your business.” Sweeney stood aghast, amazed that the slightly built young stranger should have the temerity to return so indifferent an an- swer. O’Connor and Courtney both arose and walked toward the bar, ready for the trou- ble which the blood in Sweeney's eyes fore- told was brewing. In an even more insult- ing manner than before, Sweeney walked from behind the bar and wanted to know who the stranger was and what his busi- ness was. The stranger stood his ground and hard- ly moved. „As I said before, my identity cannot con- cern any of you loafers, but I can resent an insult as quickly as any one.“ Without more ado he let drive with his right arm and caught Sweeney squarely on the nose. The blood spurted and Sweeney fell like an ox. O'Connor and Courtney jumped to their friend’s assistance. O’Connor was in the lead, and he struck a vicious blow at the stranger. The young man stepped aside and in return planted his right fist against the Cleveland ball player’s jaw, which set- tled the fight so far as he was concerned. But Courtney, astonished at the turn things had taken, was determined to avenge his comrades’ wrongs and made for the young man. The stranger had got warmed to his work and in a few moments Courtney was lying on the floor with a face that his most intimate friend would not recognize. All this work took but a few seconds to transpire. Before Sweeney and O'Connor could recover from their surprise the stanger had gathered up his overcoat, which he had across his arm at the beginning of the fight, picked his hat up from the floor and walked calmly out. * Some one had telephoned the police that a fight was in progress at Cronin’s and Pa- trolmen Meagher, Noopan and Carrener were sent from the Four Courts. O’Connor and Sweeney were sheepishly washing the blood from their battered countenances and had nothing to say. Courtney was stretched out on the floor and was dead to the world. An ambulance Was called and he was sent to the City Hospital. Friday morning he told a Post- Dispatch reporter that he didn’t know how he got hurt. He said it was all over and it didn’t matter how it all happened. Sweeney and O’Connor wefe taken to the Central District Police Station and were released on bond. Doe Sweeney is the individual who en- deavored to have Detectives O’Connell, Hatton and Brady dismissed from the force last week. The officers; after working all Only Jessie Bartlett Davis and Eugene Cowles found opportunity to reveal their true artistic selves. Yet we are told the opera was written with particular intention to fit the organization. In Mexico” is an operatic hybrid. There is @ great deal of grand opera in it, a lit- tle light opera and too much that is neither. This last refers particularly to the recittatives. They are too long, too dull, too numerous. 5 2 ‘ The author and composer have worked without clarity of intention. In trying to engraft the dramatic on the romantic opera they produced a succession of sharp contrasts, utterly destructive of artistic balance. The opera is incongruous. The beauty of its lines, the dramatic intensity of the situations, the romantic color of its tropical setting and the rich melodic beauty of the score cannot save it in pub- lie estimation. It is a pity such meritorious work as both composer and librettist exhibit should be consigned to oblivion, but the opera to live will have to be entirely overhauled. Oscar Weil, the composer, studied music alongside of Sir Arthur Sullivan, but his temperament led him along a different path. He has the rich imagination and color of an Oriental, his tenderness ts sensual. His melodies do not bubble up. They miove with impressive smoothness, His choruses lack swing and catchiness, but the ve ma- Jestic sweep, and he develops concerted numbers with strength and s . Bue three hours of this to illustrate an ordi- nary story is tiresome to the general public. There are gems in the opera that met with instant recognition, notably the con- clusion of the dramatic duet between Te- resa and Felipe, Ah, once again say that thou lovest me’’—a bit of exquisitely tender melody. The same theme is worked out again in quartette form in the concluding act. The waltz song and chorus in the opening scene and the quintette at the close of the second act aroused enthusiastic ap- plause, but the audience overdid itself in demanding a repetition of Felipe’s long- winded and commonplace recitation, “His life shall yet, beloved, pay the debt,” that had nothing to commend it but the sonor- ity of Mr. Cowles’ big voice. The most powerful number is the con- cluding trio between Teresa, Ramon and Felipe. The theme is love, hatred and re- venge. The powerful emotions are carried gtandly by the score, but the climax comes to a wearied audience and the thrill of it is lost. Jessie Bartlett Davis as Teresa, the peas- ant girl betrayed and discarded by her lover, the guerilla chief, has the emotional role. Her dramatic intensity is in marvel- lous contrast to her work in lighter roles. Eugene Cowles is Felipe, a crippled peon, who loves Teresa and kills her betrayer. He has a picturesque role and carries it well. Beside them the other characters are col- orless. Miss Hilda Clark and Miss Gracia Quive looked pretty and sang exquisitely. Mr. Barnabee carried the humor of the pro- duction in characteristic fashion, and treat- ed the audience in the last act to the song of “The Old Cork Leg.” A number of friends in the audience had requested it, and he sang it in public for the first time since he joined the Bostonians. To-night and Satur- day, Victor Herbert's “Prince Ananias” will be given, with “Robin Hood” as the Satur- day matinee attraction. His CLOTHES BELIED HIM.

Good attendance and interesting contests were the features of the third day of the chrysanthemum show. The weather was just cold enough to make it worth one’s while to get out of the chill air into the warm ‘all, made warm in appearance by the thousands of richly tinted flowers. All morning the hall was comfortably and, the attendance consisting largely of women and children. Many ot the ladies came down town for the special purpose of visiting the show, while others who were out shopping mingled pleasure with business and dropped in to wiew the shaggy beautics. A number of regulars were there also. These are the people who came early open- ing might and have attended the show regularly ever since, They are for the most part flower fanciers or students of botany, who find in the show an excellent ppportunity to pursue their scientific re- Bearches. Friday night a number of special features will make the show unusually interesting The principal feature to-day is 4 contest for a prise for the best handle-basket of put flowers.

STILL A MYSTERY. | DETECTIVES AS FAR AS EVER FROM A SOLUTION. KATIE WELLMAN IS UNSHAKEN. Her Mother and Sister, However, Do Not Believe Jealousy Was a Fac- tor of Ghe Murder. The police have not solved the mystery of old Morris Pietzsch’s murder. Dr: Lud; wig Bremer, the eminent neurologist, might assist them materially in one phase of the case, though ft is hardly likely that he will be called in. If he were he would find an interesting study at 1906 North Thirteenth street in the person of Katie Wellman, the girl who claims that Charles O’Leary killed the old grocer because she visited him. A Post-Dispatch reporter spent several hours in ‘the vicinity of the murder and ob- tained some information which the author- ities overlooked or regarded as too trifling to consider. Indeed there seems to be an of- ficial bent in this, as in other mysterious murder cases in St. Louis, to ignore the seeming trifle, and grasp- eagerly at direct oral evidence which is controverted by physical facts, That oral evidence in such cases is fre- quently faulty every lawyer knows, and every policeman should know, but many of them do not. That such evidence is some- times absolutely, entirely, intentionally and causelessly false, has been demonstrated in several notable local cases within the last three years. First there was Annie Bgzhines. She swore that she saw Henze and Kaiser mur- der Stockman Brown. It was proved con- clusively that she lied. An effort was made to show that Boghines had a motive, of a pecuniary character, but that theory was dispelled by evidence that she had fig- ured as @ false witness before without a mo- tive. In the Goldman case a colored man of good repute swore that he saw two men, whom he positively identified, leaving the scene of the murder. The accused men proved an alibi, and it was supported by physical facts, showing that the man who identified them could not have deen in a position to do so unless he had the power to transmit his body through space at a rate of two miles a minute. In the Amison case Nellie Donahue swore that she saw the shooting and identified two men as the guilty parties. She was proved to have lied without reason, and be- yond reason, THE CURSE Rab — a * ’ — * 8 NE | A * he * 2. r 1 95c, $1.45, $1.95 $1.45, $1.95 FAS DEATH |: : Children’s and Tam 2 Children’s 50c Velvet Tams, all colors seers eeeeeeee Crowns De large Mercury Wings, black only, per BOER. nnccecveacecaces Ostrich 1 97 1 full-size fancy teen Parrots et ee ee ee $1.45 2 th ove. sleeve patterns eee eee eer eee eee ee In each of these cases the lying was done by an individual who had no quarrel] with the person or persons against whom the per- jury was directed. There was no possibility in either the Goldman or the Amisen case that the witnesses could gain anything by their revelations, and almost none in the Brown case, Perversion of this character does not as- tonish the alienist. He recognizes it as a clearly defined disease, subtle and almost impossible of treatment, but known to stu- dents for thousands of years. A few great detectives have taken it into consideration in their business, and profited thereby. Vidocq refers to it in his methoirs. That the St. Louis police ignore it is brought out strikingly in the Pietzach case. When Katie Wellman stated that Charles O’Leary was her lever and had killed Pietzsch because she visited the latter, the police took the ordinary precaution of rep- resenting to her the gravity of the charge she made. She stuck to her story and told O’Leary to his teeth that he was her lover and had killed Pietsch. That settled it with the police. They ig- nored O’Leary’s denials, and, with the rea- son on their side that his character was bad, accepted the girl's statement as gos- pel. But they took no steps to corroborate her evidence. There was a clearly defined issue which might have settled the contro versy, but little was done to decide it. The girl claimed that O’Leary worked at But- ler’s tobacco factory with her. He declared that he did not. She has not named one person who will support her claim that O’Leary worked in the tobacco factory. She says she cannot. O’Leary’s alibi was perfect. In addition to his mother and another woman and ax or seven young men apparently of O’Leary’s stripe, three business men of seeming in- tegrity swear positively that he was in a saloon twelve blocks from the scene of the murder when tt was committed. The Coroner’s jury ignored this alibi. Exactly what might the Coroner had to enter into this phase of the case is not clear, but he did, and then he treated it as the idle wind. In his wisdom Dr. Wait said it made no difference whether O'Leary ever worked in a tobacco factory with Katie Wellman or not. That is, it made no aiffer- ence whether she lied or told the truth. Katie Wellman seems to be the Cinderella of her family, but a Cinderella with neither beauty nor a fairy godmother. Her sisters are handsomer than she and, as one of them testified at the inquest, they “kept com- pany,” but Katie never did. That attractive is not concealed from her family. She has shown no ing of her relations with seems rather proud than otherwise ing as a subject of love so deep as voke a tragedy. ’ —— PP Sree Fe re Pe Me ee MRIS Me DR pone gS | But there is only one grand, N ous 4-Ring Aggregation on or off the earth!

He might have added that the police force has displayed an inefficiency during the same period unequallew in the annals of this or any other city. . . Robbery after robbery, burglary after burglary, theft after theft have been com- mitted and the police have shown an ina- bility to cope with the thieves that is phe- nomenal. The excuse is advanced for them that the force is too small. The force is no smaller than it was before the beginning of the carnival! of crime; no smaller than when it was a frequent occurrence for a criminal to be captured and convicted. The cold and brutal truth is that the crimi- nals have the up 5 hand in Bt. Lee . en doing it. The assumption is that the} cannot. Every night there are burglaries of the most daring and impudent character. Houses in quiet and respectable localities are entered in the early evening and looted, while Chief Harrigan’s men saunter along the neighboring sidewalks, proud of their clothes, and serene in the belief that they are irreproachable. Men are held up on busy thoroughfares s and robbed, and sometimes slugged, while e next f Morris Pietzech, murder the proprietor if he resiets. And the police, like Chevy me, are always round the corner.“ It is not claimed by any one that these. crimes are the work of an organized gang. Most of the work is palpably amateurish, but it is effective and the police cannot stop it. ' Possibly in order to cover up their own shortcomings, the police suppress news of many robberies. Chief — — said Friday that he had not instruct any of his subordinates to withhold any report of crime, At the time he was making this statement to one representative of the Post-Dispatch, another re er was in the Sixth District Station talking to Capt. Campbell. “We report everything of a criminal na- ture to Chief Harr gin,“ said the Captain. “If he sees fit to give it out he does so. We are not pe o do 80.“ “Were there any robberies in your dis- trict last night?” said the reporter. “None that I have heard of. Were there any?“ (this to a subordinate, who said no). “No, there were none, but I tell you frankly, if there had been I could not give you any information about them. It would be a vio- lation of instructions.“ As a matter of fact there were three burg- laries in Capt. Campbell's district Thursday night. They were reported to Chief Harri- gan and made public. “What is your theory about who is com- mitting these crimes?’’ Capt. Campbell was as ¥ It's just thieves,” said the Captain com- prehensively. “It is evidently the work of the sort of fellows who hang out on Morgan street and Franklin avenue. They go out fooking for houses with insecure fasten- ings and when they find one they go ia it. Eve b ary committed in my dis- trict recently has been of this nature. In not one instance has a door or window been pried open. If Capt. Campbell's cheory is correet, the neglect of the police to attend to their busi- ness is all the more glaring. Thieves and rglars do not rob houses for their health They sell their booty. Somebody buys it. It is the business of the potios to w who that somebody is.

As a climag to this instance of police etupidity, the detective headquarters re- fused to the stolen goods, but recognized the Morgan street merchant’s roperty right them and let him gouge Mrs. Clark out of $4.25 before he would give. them up. * The robbery happened Wednesday evening between 5 and 6 o'clock. Mrs. Clark has a restaurant at 1996 Franklin avenue and dwells upstairs with her family. She and her daughter Nellie had been out during the afternoon and when they returned they laid their cloaks on the bed before going downstairs to ume their duties in the restaurant. Nellie was proud of her cloak, — her mother had paid $14 for it that very ay. Mrs. Clark’s garment was purchased last year and is worth about $10. 7.0’ k Nellie ran upstairs and hes from the bed.

A negro named Hall, who lives in a house on the al- ley, told Mrs. Clark that about 6 v’clock he saw a man and a boy enter the yard. The man, à tall fellow with a dark mustache, mounted the steps and walked into the dwelling rooms of the Clarks.

JUGGED FOR AN ONION. Police Have Succeeded in Getting One Man, at Least. Eugene McGregory was detected stealing an onion and a broom from a grocery store at Fourteenth and Spruce streets, Friday morning. The proprietor and a crowd of Spectators threatened to lynch him, and after jgrking him around for a time, re- leased him. MéGregory left the broom, and as he started to leave he began pee the onion. The grocer didn't like this, and he called a policeman and asked for MeGreg- ory’s arrest on the charge of petty larceny. STRUCK BY A CAR. Street Laborer Mixes With a Fender and Is Injured.

The trial opened Tuesday morning and the taking of testimony on both sides was con- cluded late Thursday afternoon. Arguments én the case were heard Friday morning, Lawyer Alderson opening for the plaintiff et 10 o'clock. In spite of adverse rulings on vital points on account of the remarkable powers grant- e4 the board by its blanket charter, it was conceded at the conclusion of the testi- mony Thursday that a strong case had been made by the plaintiff's attorneys. On account of Judge Valliant’s decision, that the rule hitherto governing the letting ef school contracts was not binding upon the board, the plaintiff's case rested entire- fy upon establishing a prima facie case of fraud from the extortionate figures at which the Peck-Williamson contract was let, and allegation that the award was made ut any knowledge on the part of the 1 Directors of the terms of the bar- they were entering into. plaintiff's attorneys were debarred introducing direct evidence of bad establishing that so far as the in- — ta of the public were concerned the | tors entered into the contract blindly, the plaintiff's attorneys developed that the School Board architect, A. H. hner, had never seen the pro tion mitted by the Peck-Williamson Co., and not the slightest idea on the witness hat the proposition called for, al- he is supposed to advise the board en matters. He admitted this on ination by Lawyer McEntire late ocrat, May Be Seated. The Board of Election Cobamiestoncre completed the official canvass ef the twen- ty-eight wards Thursday night.

Saturday after- noon the result of the official canvass will be certified by the Commissioners to the Circuit Judges, who will make public the figures and grant certificates to the suc- cessful candidates. : The chief interest in the Canvass was over the vote for the different candidates for the long terms on the Circuit bench. During the official canvass M. K. McGrath, for Judge Dillon, and Julius’ Wuerzbureger, t the Republican City Central Committee, both expert accountants, kept the figures on the — clal contest. Their figures are so near 7 official that they may be accepted as showing the final result, independent of any errors made in tabulation. Their figures show that Judge Edmunds, the 1 Democratic candidate, was de- feated by John A. Talty, the lowest Repub- lican candidate, by only 1,076 votes. As Judge Edmunds is sure to cont fact that 7,460 ballots were rejected by the judges one ~ woe 3 ge will play an im- ant part. rejected ballots orm the basis for the contest.
