CONGRESS’ ACTION AWAITED. The Capitalists Stand Ready to Buy In the System and Pay Off ihe Government Lien. 7 NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—The latest devel- opments in regard to Union Pacific affairs fs the formation of a syndicate comprising practically all of the leading banking houses’ here and representative foreign banking interests to take measures for the protection of the property in the event of failure of the funding bill or a decision on the part of the Government to sell the property under foreclosure, subject to the lien of the finst mortgage bonds. The pro- tection of the Kansas Pacific is also cov- ered. The capital subscribed aggregates $40,000, - 000 and the syndicate operations will, as in the case of the previous $10,000,000 agree- ment, be controlled by Kuhn, Loeb & Com- pany and the Mercantile Trust Company. The original member's of the $10,000,000 syn- dicate are given the option of raising their 6ubscriptions pro rata. If the furgiing bill should not be passed and if an attempt should be made to fore- close, the syndicate stands ready to buy in the system and pay off the Government lien. If tH® funding bill should pass, the syndicate subscriptions will, of course, be largely reduced. No formal limit of time as to the dura- tion of the syndicate agreement has been made, but it is tacitly understood that its Operation terminates at the close of the present session of Congress. If no action has been taken one way or the other in this Session, a new agreement will be formed, subject to whatever conditions may then arise. The new syndicate is in the interest of the Union’ Pacific Reorganization Commit- tee, Which recently bought practically all of the bonds sold by the Government to pay off the maturing currency sixes, HE’S REALLY INSANE. ee eee Work and Anxiety May Be the Causes of Supt.

The men looked at each other sheepishly. Then, “‘Good for her!’ exclaimed the bar- tender. “That round was on me.” THE POPE'S HEALTH. It Is Again Disquieting to the Powers, Which Are Divided as to Succession. LONDON, Jan. 9.—In spite of official de- nials the reports that the health of the Pope is very delicate are confirmed by pri- vate advices. According to news from Rome, received by Cardinal Richard, the Archbishop of Paris, the condition of Pope Leo is very disquieting. The death of Car- dinal San Felice greatly affected him, as San Felice was Pope Leo’s probable suc- cessor to the pontificate and regarded the Dreibund as a possible means of bringing about a reconciliation between the Quirinal and the Vatican. Emperor William, when he visited Naples last spring, asked Car- dinal San Felice what attitude he would take up dif elected Pope, but the distin- guished prelate declined to be drawn ou In view of Pope Leo’s present cendinicll of health it is stated that some of thee Powers have already signified their wishes regarding the succession, France, Belgium and Portugal favoring Cardinal Parochi, the Vicar-General of the Pope, while Spain, Austria and Russia support Cardinal Van- nutelli, the Prefect of the Congregational Index, NO FOOD OR SHELTER. The Hardest Times New York’s Poor People Ever Knew. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Times never were harder, and Judge Goldfogle of the Fifth District Court says that upward of two hundred ‘thousand human beings within the past twelve months found themselves with- out food or shelter. “The hand of poverty,” said the Judge, “laid most heavily on the poor people of my district. In this district alone over 8,000 families were disppssessed, and they aver- aged at least four members each, making a total of over 35,000 homeless ones. I have never if all my experience seen 680 much suffering among the lower classes as within the year just ended.

Four Men Have Been Making Money | Gathering Reeds on Land the Owner Thought Valueless. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—For many years Justice W. P. Smith of Park Ridge, N. J., has owned a piece of swamp land near Island Park that he would have given away. It develops that for three years -.four men have been annually making $1,000 each by cutting reeds from the land and selling them to New York meerschaum pipe makers at 15 cents a pound. Justice Smith proposes to go into the business now himself that he has made the discovery. The four men were in partnership, but dis- agreed over a division of the profits, and, } as a result, three of them were placed un- der arrest Thursday. Two of the men are Rucolph Pautlauff, employed in @ pipe fac- tory in this city, and Leopold Popper of Pearl River. The fourth man in the al- leged deal is the informant, and he declares that during the past three years thousands of dollars’ worth of reeds have been taken off the island. The defendants will have a hearing Monday. The reeds are of bamboo variety and g@n- erally found about two feet in length. At every three inches appears a joint. The reeds are used for making portieres and scouring churns, but principally in polish- ing pipes. Justice Smith sent a young man to New York to-day to investigate, and pipe manu- facturers offered him 15 cents a pound for the reeds. Justice Smith thought they were bullrushes. A reed industry may be estab- lished in the spring. MISSOURI MEN MAKE PLEAS. Lead Miners Ask for a Duty to Exclude Foreign Ores. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.—The lead miners of Missouri were represented before | the Ways and Means Committee to-day by H. J. Cantwell, of St. Louis; Dwight Jones, of New York, who represented the St. Joe Lead Company, and Jack Murray, of Kan- sos City, who represented the smelters and refiners, but made no argument. Mr. Cantwell stated that the wages paid men engaged in minimg and smelting in | pounds, | easily in the Southeastern district was four times | as great as that paid men in similar OCCU- | pations in Mexico, tion of the lead mining present prices was such that if they con- tinued all the mines must shut down as soon as the present developed ore bodies were exhausted. On behalf of the lead miners of the State he advocated an increase of duty on pig! lead to 1% cents per pound, and asked for a duty on lead ores, which would prac- tically exclude Mexican ore from the American merket. Mr. Murray, representing the smelters, wili file a brief with the committee Monday. TRIBUTE TO THE POST-DISPATCH. SHOWING ITS NATIONAL REPUTATION. said: battle of the people at the ol stand.

PNEUMATIO. MAIL CHUTES, TO CONNECT NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN POST-OFFICES. THE TUBES OF CAST IRON. Wenders of the NewiSystem to Be Put in Operation at an Early Day. Specta? to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. pee ae ‘hap atleast been started.in the pnetimatic ait chutes that are to connédt the New York and Brooklyn postoffices and in seven months months will be in operation on the bridge. Speaking of how the scheme wil loperate, the inventor said: *‘Mr. Batchelor says thay the main feature.of the plan contemplates two tubes from the basement of the New , York Postoffice, under Park Row, to the bridge, and Shence alongside the railroad tracks. At the Brooklyn terminus the tubes will run underground to the basement of #he Brooklyn Postoffice. The tubes will be of cast iron, in twelve- foot lengths. They must be bored * the axact diameter of 8 3-16 inches. The joints will be fitted to the greatest nicety and will be made airtight by a calk.ng of oakum | and lead. The joints and inverior of the pipes must be smooth and true, so as not to retard the carriers inside. Where there are sharp bends, as will be necessary to make the angles, the tubes will be of brass. In the ‘basements of two offices a? either end of the tubes will be air compressors, with the necessary receiving and d.spatching ap- paratus. These air compressing engines will furnish the power, which will carry the re- ceptacles through the tubes. One tube will be used for outgoing and the other for in- coming mails. The carriers will be accurate steel cylin- ders, 24 inches long, @&nd will weigh 12 They will be made to fit and move the tube. Bach of the carriers will contain 600 letters. When filled with mail the carrier is placed in the tube and air from the compressor is forced in behind it. A pressure of six pounds to the square inch‘will carry the carrier between the two offices in three and one-half minutes. By increasing the pressure the speed will be correspondingly The carriers may be dispatched at At this rate 216,000 letters can be sent each way every | hour. All of the first and most of the second class mail will be sent throught the tubes. The same scheme as propased here has been in operation between the main office in Philadelphia and sub-station No. 20, and has given great ‘satisfaction, It will cost the company about $100,000 to establish the system over the bridge. For this the postal authorities will pay an annual rental of $14,000. The company takes the chances as to whether the scheme will " permanently adopted. The connections now being.made between the New York and Brooklyn offices, it is understood, is byt a forerunner cf a diver- sifled system of pneumatic tubes which will eventually carry the mails from every one of the substations to headquarters, both in New York and Brooklyn. Eventually the mails will be sent. by this method to all of the steamship landings and railway sta- tions. All of the mail will be carried in this way, and will eventually do away with at least 70 per cent of the mail wagons, TO COVER HIS THEFT. Tax Collector Findlay of Mina, N. » ge Burned His Own Barn. BUFFALO, N. Y., Jan. 9.—Roscoe Conk- ling Findlay, Tax Collector of Mina, Chau- tauqua County, confessed to-day that he had converted a considerable sum of tax money to his own use. A few days ago Findlay was found unconscious in his barnyard, bleeding from @ scalp wound in his left temple.

Lord Penryhn’s Desire for Absolute Power Is Vigorously Rebuked in England. NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—The Evening Post’s London letter says: Lord Penryhn seems destined, by his high- handed treatment of his Welsh quarrymen, to do for Engl'sh employers what Lord Clamricarde has done for h's fel.ow-landlords in Ireland, who protest that the rent re- ductions of the land courts are driving them into bankruptcy.

Rev. Dr. Parker says that the very solemn question is raised whether one man should have the power of life and death over ten thousand human beings. | Fresh trouble seems to be brewing be- tween the railway companies and their em- ployes. The Great Northern, Great West- ‘ern and Great Eastern Companies have annuation fund and establish savings banks. The Amalgamated Society of Railway | Servants say that this is part of an or- |'ganized attempt to crus e men’s Unions; that the companies would use the fact of the men’s savings as a reason for declining to advance the men’s wages and opposing the bills through labor and other members of Parliament. The Miners’ Federation this week de- manded better protection for the men in the mines. They say that a thousand per- sons are killed and 25,000 injured in British mines every year. They demand a Govern- men Inspector for every 10,000 workers. FAMILY IN A BOX CAR. They Rode From St. Louis and Were Hungry and Frozen. Special to The Post-Dispatch. * HANNIBAL, Mo., Jan. 9.—On a north bound freight train that arrived in Han- nibal trom St. Louls Friday night were three passengers without the knowledge of the train men. When the train arrived and the cars were switehed on aside track a box car was found to contain a family of three—father, mother and an infant. They were all very nearly | frozen, and they were taken into the Union Station by the train men. On being asked as to how they came to be in the box car they said that they wanted to go to a point in Iowa, and, having no money, concluded to beat their way. The husband and father said that he had been unable to obtain work in St. Louis and he did not want to go out on the streets to beg. He had held a good position up to the time of the election, when he was ' discharged and could find nothing toe do. They were cared for at the depot during the night, and to-day the city authorities paid their fare to Quincy, where they hope to receive assistance to further them on their way. A nice little purse was made up for tnem by sympathisers, and they will likely reach the end of their journey in a more comfortable condition. They had traveled over 100 miles in @ box car without any fire or anything to eat and the babe was almost frozen. They did not give their names. THE ETERNAL FEMININE. Marvin R. Cross Turns on the Woman Who Annoyed Him for 14 Years. Spécial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—For the past four- teen years wealthy Marvin R, Cross of Brooklyn has been menaced by a woman. As a means to the attainment of her pur- poses the woman has paraded a rosy- cheeked boy 13 years old, for whose sup- port, @ie asserts, Mr. Cross is responsible. In the face of these claims Mr. Cross has, he says, given thousands of dollars to Mrs. Roberts. and she is still Camoring; but Mr. Cross has refused to give auy more. He has even caused Mrs. Roberts and her husband to be indicted, and the charge ts conspiracy*to defraud.

She desired to obtain possession of $600 insurance money that the boy’s father held in trust for him, This affidavit, it is claimed by the opposing lawyers, is true, with the exception that the boy has an aunt, two uncles and a grandmother in New York. The woman, it is also charged, says she is the mother of the boy and that Mr. Cross is. his father. This statement is vigorously denied.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—A joint confer- ence of the Dawes Indian Commission and the Choctaw Ind!ian delegation respecting the Choctaw agreement, was held in the of- fice of Secretary Francis this afternoon. Commissioner of Indian Affairs Browning was present. The session was devoted to a discussion of the leading provisions of the agreement, preliminary to its approval by Secretary Francis and its submission to the President. The action that Congress may take when the document is submitted for ratification is causing considerable uneasiness and was talked over at length. The principal op- position that has developed thus far is that of the white townsite settlers, who bought title from the ind!iv dua] Indians, but who, in view of the interests in common in the land, must buy-again under the agreement, The townsite men have organized to oppose the ratification of the agreement and have sent an attorney here to represent their interests. The agreement provides for the allot- ment of all the Choctaw and Chickasaw lands (except to freedmen provided for in an 1866 treaty); the keeping of title to all minerals in the United States Government in trust for the tribes; makes the allotted lands inalienable and untaxable for twenty- five years, and givés, full citizenship rights to the two tribes upon the termination of tribal government, which Its fixed to end eight years from March 4 next. So far the Chickasaws have not indicated their approval of the agreement and it may be necessary to enforce it for the benefit of only the Choctaws’ interests pending fur- ther legislation. __ THE WEATHER __ FORECAST.

CHAPMAN Of THE SEELEVS, WILL SUFFER FOR THAT OFF COL- OR DANCE AT SHERRY’S. ANNABELLE MOORE’S STORY. She Told What Kind of a Performance She Had Been Asked to Give. Special to The Post-Dispatch. ' NEW YORK, Jan..3-—What has bem called the “trial” of Capt. Chapman of the Tenderloin went on to-day at Police Head. quarters. The trial of the Captain might more @ppropriately be called a “trial of the Seeleys.”’ It is intended by the defense to prove that Capt. Chapman was justified in breaking in upon the bachelor dinner, now celebrated, which Herbert B. Seeley gave to his brother, Clinton B. Seeley, on the eve of Clinton's marriage. Annabelle W. Moore was the first witbess to-day. She is a very pretty girl, with a wealth of golden curls, and wonderfully beautiful eyes. She started her story by telling of her career as a dancer, and of the numerous cities in which she had danced, Coming down to the evening of the Seeley dinner she described how her manager, Mr. Lehman, had sent for her to make an en- gagement to dance at Sherry’s that night for $20. Shc said: “I went to the manager, and he said it was fora party of 22men. He asked me if I did high kicking. I said ‘yes.’ Mr. Phipps entered the office with another man, I told them what dances I did, and Mr, ‘Yes, that is very good. We want something more. I want you to dance nude from the waist down.’ “He sald that ‘Littlh Egypt’ was going to dance as he wanted her to. I could not speak tn answer to Mr. Phipps at first, Then I said I would not do what they want- ed. Mr. Phipps then asked me if I could not arrange to drop my tights et the end of the dance, saying by that time the men would be so drunk that it woud make no difference what I did. “I got out of the office as well as I could, I went straight to my stepfather’s office and told him I had been grossly insulted, I also told @ Mr. Morris, a friend of mine, what had been asked of me. My father was terribly angry when he heard ft, and swore and said hard things about what had been done.”* The cross-examination by Col. James fall- ed to shake her testhmony, which was con- cluded as follows: “At 10:30 o'clock that night I went to Sherry’s restaurant. I went there on my father’s advice to tell Mr. Sher- ry what might occur at his place that night, I did net see Mr. Sherry, but 1 saw his map- ager. I told him whet was going to bap- pen at the dinner. Hesaid: ‘That is none of my business,’ ” The testimony yesterday of Herbert Seel- ey, a self-contained young man, went to prove that the dinner was a very jolly affair, nothing more. And the trial wae jolly, too. It was an opera bouffe of a trial. Commissioner Grant presided and seemed to enjoy the testimony very much. Commissioner Par- ker managed to keep his face straight while he whispered legal advice to Mr. vwrant Capt. Chapman sat twirling his thumbs, the soleenn figure in the feast of fun, the Geath’e-head at the jolly banquet board, There were lawyers for every one co.- cerned, and every lawyer seemed pleased that he was there. William F. Howe put on a green cecktie, which he ca'led Nile green, in honor of “Little Egy,t.” the dancer, whose precious reputation pe Was to defend. Capt. Chapman's lawyer, Hart, was absolutely overjoyed. oy his cp- portunity to shine.

It must be said that not one in the court room appeared to realize that an affatr of the utmost importance was In hand.

Seeley is a decent young fellow as to morals and healthy as to body, Young Mr. Seeley has no gift of lan- guage. In answer to Colonel James he told his purpose in giving-the dinner and what happened there. His testimony sound- ed very much like this: ; “The dinner began twenty minutes past 9 o'clock. I was called in to the dressing-room by loud talking and a 4is- turbance there, ,quite a row, you under- stand. I left my seat at the table and went into the dressing-room to ascertain the rause of the disturbance. Several other gentlemen ran into the dressing-t room. s4W. a man addressing Miss Cora Routt.

You are ‘not fit to call yourself a woman.’ ’”’ Mére questions came from Colonel James. Ee pe leaned forward so as not to ™ ss a word, The at tm »sphere was so deadly that a map fell in a fit, shouting and moaning. With fine presence of mind, Commissioner Grant ordered that the man bé carried into the room where the soubrette witnesses were detained. The sight of him probably soothed their nerves. Mr. Seeley continued: ty asked the man. who he was. ‘“‘He said: ‘I am Captain of this precinct. I want to know what is gong on here. I am informed you are going to have’a cervain kind of performance and I want to find out ab out og cid: ‘You will have every facility for finding out, but this—the ladies’ dressing- room—is not the place.’ ”’ And so on yot ing Seeley repeated the tale now told so ofte But he told something new when he repeated from memony the speech Capt. Chapman made when he went into the dining-room. Mr. Seeley said: “*The man said: ‘I have been informed that .you were to have an immoral show here to-night. I would not tolerate sucha thing in my precinct, whevh- er it occurred on Fifth avenue or on Tenth avenue. You look like gentlemen who would not violate the law. T find t have made a mistake and I will take my leave.’ Affd he did take his leave.’ added Mr. Seeley, s gh- inw- as if the memory of Capt.

Tite stock represented will be of par value of $6,500,000 out of She entire capital of $12, - 000, of the road. The proposed tunnel, under the river can be constructed at. an estimated cost of $6,- 000,000. The charter belongs to the Pennsyl- vana Railroad, and permits the continu&ince of the “unnel from this cit¥ to Jersey City should it be deemed advisable. Mr. Corbin, during his Kfe time, obtained from the rail- road the right to use this charter. Two stations for the accommodation of passengers will be provided in this city. On the brooklyn side a.station will be built mear the City Hall and the other at the station of the Long Island road. It is now thought that electricity will be the motive power of the trains running through the tunnel. A project is under consideration for the elevation and at cer- tain points depression of the Atlantic Ave- nue Railroad through the thickly settled portion of Brooklyn. Half of the expense will be borne by the railroad and half ‘by the city. express trains could thus be Started from Courtland street, New York, and run by means of connections to any point on Long Island. It is claimed that interests which’ are closely allied with the Metropolitan Street Railway Company will have much to say in the present syndicate. The presence of representatives of the Mutual Life In- surance Co., which owns «a majority of the bonds of the ‘street railway company, in the syndicate, points to this fact.

But he voluntarily withdrew from the con- test for the Judgeship, giving as a reason that his father having been elected Speak- er of the House, he thought it best for him to withdraw his application for the Judge- ship. “T talked with Speaker Farris on the subject,”’ said Gov. Stone, ‘‘and he con- curred in. the action of his son.”” The ap- pe@itment of Judge Wondaide is heartily indorsed here, and it is un Mode aut & com- mented upon that Speaker Farris dnd his son deserve great credit for their consid- erate movement. One of the most brilliant soctal events of the new year in official circles here was the reception tendered by the Imperial Club of this city Friday night. to Gov. and Mrs. William J. Stone, who will leave Jefferson City in a few days to make their future home in St. Louis. A large numer of invitations were sent out several days ago, and many. distin- guished guests were present. The Imperial Club is one of the oldest and most prom- inent social organizations at the Missouri! capital. During their four years’ residence in the executive mansion, Gov. and Mrs. Stone have made themselves very popular. It is expected that there will be much spirited opposition to Senator Martin’s bill to tax each department or classification in the department stores of the cities. In fact, the opposition influence is already working. Those who favor the bill;declare that a vigorous effort will be made to have it parses. and some lively skirmishing is expected. ani- One of the Very best stories told since the organization of the present session of the Legislature comes from St. Clair, a little village down on the Frisco road. The story is told by Tom. Love:of Springfield, secretary of the Democratic State Central Committee. Here it is: Secretary Love, accompanied by Representatives Hendrick- son of Dallas County and Bradford of Texas County left Springfield .several days for Jefferson City, via St. Louis. They started just in time to encounter trouble on ac- count of a washout on the railroad. But these political travelers hit upon a plan for driving dull care away during the forty- eight hours they were compelled to wait at the little village of St. Clair. An impromp- tu orchestra was fitted up for active busi- ness, and the village depot floor was clear- ed for dancing. It so happened that several young women were en route to St. Louis and other points to enter boarding schools after a‘holiday at home. They were sociably in- clined, and the ball that was held in the St. Clair depot will be long remembered by the residents of that village as one of the greatest events in the history of the town. By this improvised arrangement for amuse- ment the time was pleasantly whiled away, and Secretary Love, as well as the others, was not so sorry after all that the wash- out occurred. There is a vast amount of comment here to-day in favor of Gov. Stone on account of his manly action in declining to push himself as a candidate for the United States Sena'e in opposition to Senator Vest. En- thusiastic friends of the Governor used their influence to have his name seriously con- sidered, but the Democracy of Missouri through a convention of its representatives had declared for Senator Vest, and Gov. ‘WS one positively refused to have anything to do with undoing the expressed will of the people. One of the first measures to be introduced in the House will be a genuine fellow eer- vant bill. tative Avery and will. be a bill strictly in accordance with the desires of the railroad workers in whose behalf itis drawn.

A QUESTION TO STUDY. Mayor Walbridge points out that, under Civil Service Reform as it is proposed here, the power of removal lodged in | heads of departments will effectually pre- | vent the creation of a permanent office- | holding class. That is true as to the law, but much will depend upon the Board to be created for the law’s enforcement. There is noth- | ing in the Federal civil service law to prevent the responsible heads of depart- ments from reorganizing their staffs by | the appointment of qualified applicants in the plaqwof others removed. But the na- | tional Board, as constituted by Mr. Cleve- land, has made real reform impossible by its usurpations of power, bulldozing, threats and actual removals of men guilty of no offense under the law. It will be well for the citizens of St. Louis to have a clear understanding of what is proposed. A genuine merit sys- tem, appointing a man of demonstrated qualification to office for a fixed term, with eligibility for successive terms by successive competitive examinations, would go far to solve the problem. Of course,any system that proposes to rob the responsible head of any department of his power to remove his subordinates for cause is impracticable if not absurd. That is the’situation which raises the greatest difficulty in the case. It would make opportunities for spoils politicians but for the clause in the law making it + mandatory upon heads of departments to take all their appointees from the eligible list. The real power to prevent a reign of spoils and inefficiency under any civil service reform in municipal government will rest with the Examining Board. —_—- -_ ““NOBODY’S BUSINESS.”’ When passing through St. Louis last week, on his way to Jefferson City, Sen- ator Orchard was-asked by a Post-Dis- patch reporter whether or not he was traveling on a free pass, He replied that it was nobody’s business whether he was or not. On what theory is Senator Orchard pre- pared to maintain that whether or not he, as a public official, uses a railway pass, when-the use of such a pass is pro- hibited by law, is “nobody’s business?” Art. XII., sec, 24, of the State Consti- tution takes away a Member’s right to sit in the Assembly if he travels on a pass. It says “the acceptance of such @& pass or ticket by a Member of the General Assembly, or any such officer, shall be a forfeiture of his office.” There- fore, 4 member who goes to Jefferson City on a pass to take his seat has no right to a seat in the Assembly. If he takes} his seat, he does so in defiance of law. As a public official, Senator Orchard is violating the law if he uses a railway pass at all. If, after using such a pass, he presents his mileage claim to the State Treasurer, he is not only Violating the law, but swindling the Treasury and the taxpayers. Under the Constitution ana the law, instead of the question whether or not @ public official is using a pass be- ing impertinent, {t is a strictly proper inguiry. As a matter of fact, the State Treasurer should be compelled by law to require every Member or public official when he presents his mileage voucher to make Oath that he has not used a free pass or free transportation of any kind, Every citizen haa a right to inquire into the conduct of every public official, in connection with any matter that has been made the subject of constitutional provision or statutory law. THE DON AND THE JUDGE. There is nothing new under the sun. Even Judge Murphy is not new, though between the feeling of the individual and |the duty of the citizen to the society of which he is a part. It may have been more excusable in Don Quixote, of the laity, than im Judge Murphy of the bench, But Cervantes makes us understand it to be the evidence of a diseased mind. But Don Quixote repented him of his folly. After the criminals he released had robbed him and terrorized the coun- try-side he bewailed the part he had played in their deliverance. Which should perhaps exempt him from any odious comparisons. _ ————" —_ = Immediately following the November election, a regular raid, engineered by contemporaries who felt themselves dis- tanced in the competition for popular favor, was made on the Post-Dispatch. Concerted and persistent efforts were ' made to injure its business and reduce its advertising revenues. In spite of this, the | net profits for the.months of November and December, 1896—taking them together or separately—were considerably greater than for any November and December in the entire history of the paper. They were greater than for the corresponding months of 1895, which up to that time had been record-breakers. Increased revenue from circulation more than made up for the small decrease in advertising revenue. ————_—— - AN OMITTED FACTOR. Gov. Stone made an interesting speech at a banquet in Jefferson City last Satur- day night. He pointed out with accuracy the important lesson of the last cam- paign, that there must be no compromise with party traitors; that the policy of the Democratic party must be shaped by, Democrats, and not by those who put on the livery of Democrats the better to serve Plutocracy. Gov. Stone also stated an obvious truth ‘when he pointed out that, as a result of the battles fought in 1895 and 1896, the Democratic party, es- pecially in Missouri, is in better shape for aggressive fighting for its principles than it has been in for many years past. In enumerating the causes of this change for the better, however, Gov. Stone omits the most important factor. In 1893 ang in 1894 Gov. Stone was here. He was Governor of the State and had alk the powers of the Governor’s office. All the State officials who are here now were here then. Every man who was present at the banquet was at that time occupying the same pdsition, with the same opportunities for influencing public opinion and public action, that he had later. Yet to the last man they were lying prostrate, and the party was lying prostrate with them, under.the Neel of a little faction which has since been tucked away in its little grave and over which the grass is now growing. “What wrought the change that came about in 1895? Not Gov. Stone’s speech at Washington Park, Kansas City. That was made early in 1893 and awoke no echo. The man who made it was just as helpless politically in 1894 as he was when he uttered it in 1893. Again we ask, what wrought the change? What new factor was introduced that was not here in 1893 and im 1894? The answer is obvious, except to poll- ticians who ride on the train and imagine that they furnish the motive power. Early in 1895 the Post-Dispatch came under its present management. Within three months the Bemocrats of Missouri were rallying behind aggressive leader- ship, which was the only thing they had needed for several years past, but with- out which they were drifting as helplessly as a ship at sea without a rudder. Within six months the party was in fight- ing-shape, with a clearly defined purpose and a plan of campaign that made defeat impossible. Within a year—without the addition of a single factor except the Post-Dispatch under its new manage- ment—the party had taken possession of the party machinery in Missouri, had tumbled into the dust the little faction that had been so long bestriding it, had taken the leadership of the great Demo- cratic renascence in the nation at large, had pointed the way to the Chicago Con- vention and formulated in advance its principal declarations of party doctrine, and had struck the first blows in the campaign that under competent leader- ship is sure to end in ultimate victory. If the time has come to review causes, the Post-Dispatch, which took so large a part in shaping events, will also take part in pointing out the landmarks of history. -—_--———_-- — - - 7 FOOD INSPECTION. If we are to have a pure food bill, it is to be hoped that it will be thorough and not merely a fancy ordinance based only on the bacillus theory. It is, of course, important to guard against impurities after food is ready for sale. Meats and other foods ought to be protected from dust and uncleanness of every kind. This is especially necessary in a large city, where the atmosphere is usually full of impurities. A pure food bill should be so compre- hensive that it will compel the use of pure and wholesome materials from which to make bread, pastry, candies, preserves, pickles, etc. A great deal of the food offered for sale at the bakeries and grocery stores on the poorer streets of the city is made from material that was not fit for food before it was put into the finished product. To merely guard such food products against exposure and incidental bacterial impufities would be as @bsurd as the proverbial cleansing of the outside of cups end platters that are withip full of impurity. The cheap bakeries which supply most of the bread and pastry that the working people consume use poor flour, rancid lard and butter or butterine, preserves ae ey, OE Gnete, S, ane other materials equally detrimental to health. Much of the bread, preserves and pickles exposed for sale at the ordinary grocery store is without value as food. The people only put up with it because they cannot get anything better. They know they are being defrauded from one year’s end to another. If we are to have sumptuary laws at all, let them be effective. If the material is good, the finished product will: prob- ably be satisfactory. iO THE HIGH HAT AGAIN. The anti-high hat ordinance in Chicago is so far a failure. The night following the passage of the ordinance the Chicago Tribune made a comparative census of. ‘the women with and without hats in the theaters of that city. The figures are: With hats, 735; without, 441. Lovely woman is not to be coerced. She wants to regulate by law everything but herself, and to suppress by statute every form of indulgence to which she is not inelined. We may congratulate our- selves that she is not much inclined to evil. If she were, this would be a harder world to live in than it is. The Chicagoan is naturally rude. He lacks politeness and chivalry. He has failed to accomplish by process of law what Brooklyn has accomplished by tact. The night following the Chicago failure the head usher of the Montauk Theater in Brooklyn walked to the front before the curtain rose and gaid, in a clear and dis- tinct tone: “The ladies in the audience will please remove their hats.” And in- stantly, so the press dispatches tell us, there was a rustle over the house and a moment later not a hat was in view. Clearly enough the men of Brooklyn know women better than do those of Chi- cago, But Chicago will never understand it that way. Im Chicago they will con- clude that the Brooklyn women had read | the story of the French Judge presiding at the trial of a salacious cause, who requested all ladies to withdraw, and who, after every woman had remained seated, announced:’ “As there are no ladies im the court-room, the trial will proceed.”’ : Chicago will not see the light. _————————-——- 9 —_——s— Gov. Pingree’s ideas of the regulation of public franchises are sound and should be adopted in every municipality: “Re- serve the right to fix rates of charges; let the construction of plants be under supervision ‘of the municipality; provid: that no mortgage be executed or bonds issued to a greater amount than one-half the cost of the plant; require the corpora- tion to file sworn statements of its Te- ceipts and expenditures, certified by a public accountant; provide against con- solidation of companies; provide that no franchise be extended during the life of the original grant; provide that no fran- chise be granted without being submitted to a vote of the people.’”’ These rules, in large letters, should be posted in every city hall in the world, and should be read to all municipal legislatures at the open- ing of every new year. —_ a_i i There is talk of a movement looking to the wearing of nothing but American goods by Americans, beginning with Mr. McKinley’s new all-American-wool suit. As many rich Republicans have been ac- customed to go over to England every year to buy their clothing, this new scheme should undoubtedly be pushed. The Republican ladies, however, will hardly confine themselves to the home market in’ beautifying themselves. fA LYS LET IRD ae The plan of the Belleville ladies to give employment instead of alms to the poor is sensible and practical. There is enough work in every town and city for. its deserving poor if, proper efforts are made, No destitute person, willing to earn a living, should be degraded by alms-giving if it can be avoided. , — ————— C—O A new Chicago ordinance provides that no person shall be allowed to enter a street car in which there are no vacant seats, and an amendment is proposed that the companies shall run enough cars, We shall get some street car legislation somewhere in the country after a while. A perfect rainbow was seen in Maine in December—a rare Spectacle up there in the winter months. Possibly this is an omen that means nothiffe less than that Thomas Reed—Mr. McKinley’s adminis- tration having proven a failure—is to be the Republican nominee in 1900. - The most romantic love story of the dying century is that which is told in Illinois, where the death of both lovers, he 78 and she 65, prevented their Christ- mas wedding. Let us hope that these two youthful hearts are reunited in a blissful eternity. —_— * —— Hunters in Maine have killed since the middle of September 800 caribou, from 1,000 to 2,000 moose and 20,000 deer, be- sides bear and other animals.

ICME tie NS Ae Throughout the State and over the bor- ders there have been many very gratify- ing expressions of approval of the Post- Dispatch, but its most substantial reoog- nition is in the great circulation its read- ers have given it. — The Republican Governor of Wisconsin has pardoned so many murderers that an effort will be made to take away from all future Governors “the pardoning power, Undoubtedly every State should have a board of pardons. — The arrests in Boston for drunkenness last year averaged between 80 and 90 per- sons a day.

At > r . wEe . 7 yes bis Beer R23 *: See ia . - @ oy ae cf “When thieves fall out honest men get their dues.” The old edage may not ex- actly apply to the closing of the merry-go- rounds, called by courtesy “race tracks,” but it ig more or jess apropos to the man- ' ner of their closing. Not that all horsemen who run their cattle on short winter tracks, or the Jockeys who ride them, or the book- makers who take money on the races, are dishonest, but the moral effect on the com- munity is perhaps worse then if they were. Business men whose employes play the races are no better off, because their money is gambled away under color of law. They could better protect themselves against ac- tual thieves. And again, if every race is run “on the square” it makes thieves of the losers just the same as if it was crooked. But in quoting the adage I re- fer to the causes which led to the closing of the tracks. Everybody knew just what evil was resulting from the alleged race tracks, but as the law permitted them to flourish, the only way possible to stop them was to wait until the Legislature met. But what moral sentiment and agitation could not do, was done by the pool rooms, which of themselves constituted a greater moral nuisance than the tracks. There was not money enough for both to flourish so the tracks had to shut up shop. It is to be hoped, however, that the clos- meets will not cause Dr. Werlein and other objectors to perpetual racing to relax their efforts to securé legislation on the subject. The racing evil in St. Louis nee regulating about as badly as the next thing. Practically we have racing all the year round. The spring meeting at the Fair Grounds, Which opens the so-called legiti- mate racing season, is extended beyond all reason until late in the fall, Last year it was not even suspended during Fair week. All this time the sport goes on at the night tracks by electric light, and then when the fall racing closes the winter tracks open. And so racing is perpetual from January to December. Of course the friends of the sport of kings maintain that it improves, the breed of horses. But its opponents meet this by urging that to breed thoroughbreds for racing purposes is to raise animals which are no earthly use for anything else. It is beyond question, in the meantime, that under present racing conditions, in propor- tion as we improve the breed of the noble animal, the horse, we breed a degenerate race of the nobler animal, man. It is equal- ly beyond question that the turf scandals, which have cast more or less suspicion on every legitimate track in the country, have arisen from the practice of indefinitely and unreasonably extending the limits of regu- lar meetings. The Legislature should set a certain limit on the period of a meeting, and so frame the law that it cannot be evaded by having a week's intermission be- tween regular meetings, nor by closing a meeting on one track, only to begin an- other the next week at another track, as was attempted at Chicago. It is not only the moralists and reformers who want such legislation. The legitimate race-horse men that a continuation of the prevailing meth- ods threatens the very existence of the sport. Mickey Mack must feel sore at himself for going to so much trouble to devise ways and means of effecting his escape from dur- ance vile, only to be acquitted without hav- ing a chance to put his scheme into execu- tion. Mickey Mack does not like work. At least there are things he likes better, and certainly a man with money can be coerced into giving it up with less expend- iture of manual and mental labor than would be required to earn the same amount. Mickey Mack will work with both head and hands when it is imperative to do so. He can devise means of smuggling saws into jail, and exercise his muscles cutting iron bars with them, as well as the next man. But it must be galling to a citizen of his type to labor in vain. But it was a piece of unpardonable oversight in Mickey Mack to go to such infinite pains to provide means to get out of the Work-house before he was sent there, when he knew that the way lay through Judge Murphy’s court. It is almost enough to lead to the belief that Mickey Mack is failing mentally, or else that he is threatened with the habit of working for the love of it. Mr. Clardy, attorney for the Missouri Pa- cific, wants the time limit allowed railroad companies to equip their freight cars with automatic couplers extended for five years, The reason given is not that the cars can- not be equipped in the time given, but that to do so this year would cost the company $1,200,000. It is a mere question of money versus human life. Manifestly it would be cheaper to put automatic couplers onto new cars as they are built to replace worn-out ones than to equip the present service with the life-saving devices, and in the estima- tion of most railroad corporations human lives are too cheap to be considered, when the alternative is @ gum larger than the prospective aggregate of damage suits for lives lost. Meanwhile the slaughter keeps up. We hear of an accident to a passenger train with a dozen lives lost, and the papers give it “‘scare” headlines and a thrill of horror permeates the country. But while these occasional catastrophes are record- ed—and compared with the aggregate of passengers carried they are infinitesimal— the slaughter of brakemen and switchmen, due almost wholly to the present dangerous system of coupling, goes on at the rate of six per day, at a moderate estimate. Time was when tthe railroads had the excuse that no perfect automatic coupler had been in- vented. Now the practicability of later in- ventions has been demonstrated and is ad- mitted—but they cost money. When a law is passed compelling the adoption of a device to prevent this uselesg slaughter, more time is wanted. Chicago comes to the front with an ordi- nance against the high feminine theater hat. The Council, by a vote of 87 to 23, declared their conviction that it was a nuisance to be abated by law like any other nuisance. Many St. Louis ladies remove their headgear during the performance—it might perhaps be said that all real ladies do. I was at the Fourteenth Street The- ater a few nights ago, and I observed, in this connection, an example of the pervers- ity of things in general, and of womankind in particular. There was a small house, extending but a few rows back of the par- quette. Several ladies wore no hats. Every one of them sat back in the circle, with no one behind them, and it would have made no difference if they had worn hats three feet high. But down in front the par- quette the tall hat, with those exaéper- ating, nodding plumes, abounded. All the tall hats in the audience seemed to have had seats reserved for them in the front part of the house. A young man named William Schenck did brave deed in a New York theater the hats sat in front of him, completely ting off his view of the . spontaneous outcry was directed at them, In some confusion, but with great prompti- tude, they removed their hats, and their ex. ample was followed generally by their sis- ters in crime throughout the theater, Then the young man removed his hat, lowered his seat by hanging his overcoat on @ chair rack, and, turning round, bowed to the audience, which gave him a great round | of applause, as his purpose and its ac. complishment dawned on them. Two defects in our criminal law system were ‘glaringly demonstrated last week in the trial and conviction of Thomas M. Bram, mate of a seagoing vessel, for the murder of his captain. The conviction de- pended upon whether or not it was possible for the chief witness for the prosecution to see into the cabin from his position at the wheel, as he testified he did, while thé murder was being committed. At the first, and for many succeeding ballots, five of the jurymen were for acquittal. By degrees the jury got to a point where eleven were for conviction and one for acquittal. After that they got back to the original standing of seven to five, and still later, after twen- ty-six hours of deliberation, they agreed on a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was condemned to death. From the reports, it’ would seem that the minority yielded their convictions of the man’s innocence to the prospect of further confinement if they con<_ was at stake, that the witnesses, all of them seafaring men, after lying in jafl for months, con- demned to prison fare, and to associating with criminals for no offense, must remain in jail in default of bail an indefinite time until a new trial is had or the case heard on appeal. Under the system which obtains @ stranger unable to give bail, who is un- fortunate enough to be an involuntary wit- ness to a tragedy, may lie in jail indefi- nitely, while the accused is at liberty on bond. This is all wrong. It is not to be wondered at thet justice is often defeated by witnesses making themselves scarce to escape being called on to testify. There. should be a way of taking the depositions of non-resident witnesses or witnesses who from any cause are unable to give bond for their appearance, end subjecting them to the cross-examination of coungel for the accused, as is done in civil cases. Take, for witness to such a tragedy, under sueh con- ditions, might have lain in jail for a matter of two or three years awaiting a final dis- position of the case. The trouble with our criminal laws seems to be that they are enacted mostly in the interest of criminals. There Is a certain pathos in the letter of the Princess of Caraman-Chimay, nee Ward, warning her American sisters of the almost certain unhappiness of marrying for- eign noblemen for their empty titles. Not that they will be warned. a bit of it. Thé daughters of our mushroom aristocracy of wealth will continue to sell themselves and their fathers’ money bags for empty titles, un- warned by and unheeedful of the experi- ences of those who have gone before, Occa- sionally American editors and writers are found reviling those who maintain that such alliances are not founded upon love, and are wholly sordid on the one part, and vanity on the other. But look at the record, Here is a list of a score of international marriages in high life: Consuelo Yznaga—Duke of Manchester. Clara Ward—Prince of Caraman-Chimay, Mary Wheeler—Count Pappenheim. Miss Cary—Baron de Stuers. Julia Scott—Major Johnson. Bessie Curtis—Marquis de Talleyrand- Perigord, Miss McVicker—Major C. G. Norton. Miss King—Marquis of Anglesey. Mrs. George Stelle—Sir A. Aylmer. Juka Mackay—Prince Colonna, bel‘ard. ; Nellie Grant—Algernon Sartoris. Frances Work—Hon, J. B. Burke-Roche. Caroline Carroll—His Excellency William Haggard. Emily Schaumberg—Col. Hughes Hallett. }. Mary Plummer—Georges Clemenceau. Miss Fitzgerald—Lord Edmond Fitz Mau- rice. Florence Audenried—Count Divonne, Miss Corbin—Earl of Orford, Miss Huntington—Prince Hatzfeldt. ' Worence Garner—Sir W. Gordon Cum- ming. There is not one solitary couple there who lved together in any sort of domestic happiness. With just one exception every couple were divorced, or consented to a sep- aration. In the one exception the couple were divorced, but afterwards became rec- onciled and were remarried, It is refreshing to turn to one inter- national marriage where the bridegroom was not a fortune hunter. It is that of the daughter of Millionaire Claus Spreckles to Mr. Watson, a San Francisco broker, of English birth. But then this was not a match arranged by the bride’s parents. They objected strenuously and the couple eloped. Papa Spreckles had settled a mill- ion or two on his daughter. high-spirited girl and did not want to be beholdeh to her. papa for her fortune since she had married without his consent. } Her husband was not after the “dough.” (He told her he married her for herself and not for her millions, and Mrs, Watson promptly deeded back to her father the property he hed given her to the tune of a round million... But Mr. Watson is not an Earl or a Duke, nor even a Baronet, which may account forthis contempt of American dollars. But then Mr. and Mra. Watson may live happily ever after, as the story books say, and that is something.

An Attempt to Enforce the Attendance of Members Failed In- gloriously. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The debate in the House of Representatives on the Pa- cific Railroad funding bill came to a close at 5 o’clock this evening and the final vote on the bill and all amendments and sub- stitutes will be taken Monday noon on the assembling of the House. The debate to- day was of that fragmentary character in- cident to a five-minute debate and was not productive of any features new or strong. But one vote was taken and that on an amendment of comparatively minor im- portance by Mr. Parker of New Jersey, en- larging the description of the assets cover- ed by the Government lien and requiring the assent of the Secretary of the Treas- ury to any sales made by the roads under the terms of the bill. Mr. Powers resisted the amendment, but it passed by a decisive majority. During the day Mr. Northway of Ohio offered an amendment to the Harrison substitute providing for a national commis- sion to effect a settlement which on being approved by the President shall become op- erative. After a brisk controversy early in the day the order made last night for the ar- rest by the Sergeant-at-Arms of all mem- bers absent from the sess%on fast night, pension night, was vacated, to the satisfac- tion of over 200 members to whom the order of arrest applied. A preliminary flurry occurred over a mo- tion by Mr. Henderson (Rep.,) of lowa to re- consider the resolution adopted at the night eession of the House last night directing the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest absent members and bring them to the bar of the House on next Tuesday. It incurred a sharp pariia- mentary struggle, but was voted down by 130° to 109. Mr. Bowers (Rep.) of California opened the opposition tn an onslaught on the mana- ement of the Pacific roads and the bill. ie characterized the measure as a plan to continue the most tyrannous monopoly that had ever been organized. It was a part of an infamous and fraudulent transaction, an atemept to prolons the grip of the ‘‘An- aconda af the Pacific Coast.” Mr. Johnson (Rep.) of North Dakota op- posed the bill. He made a statement of the enormous profits that individuals had made and the enormous losses the Government, he said, had sustained. When Mr. Powers (Rep.) of Vermont, in charge of the bill, asked for more time for Mr. Daniels (Rep.) of New York, one of those supporting it, Mr. Maguire (Dem.) of California interposed, saying: “Every man from the Pacific Coast has been shut ‘ out of the general debate and there can be made by Mr. Hilborn were erroneous. x = ae no extensions in favor of the bill.’ “If there has been any ‘shutting out,’ responded Mr. Hepburn, “it was at the elections and not here.’’ : Mr. Daniels argued that the settlement should be made now and not left as a leg- acy to the next administration. Mr. Grosvenor said that the bill probably gave the best means of closing the tracted contest and protecting the Govern- ment. Mr. Dockery (Dem.) of Missouri urged that Congress had not been given the full financial statement as to this settlement which would warrant its adoption. Mr. Arnecld (Rep.) of Pennsylvanta that unless this settlement was made the next administration would be compelled either to issue $60,000,000 bonds to pay anon es or else throw up Mr. Hi overland branch of the Central Pacific, now abandone, was included, instead of the new branch. He also insisted that a ferry, which was included as a valuable asset, was, in fact, disposed of by the road. Mr. Powers disputed the correctness of Mr. Hilborn’s statements, and said no sales | such as indicated had been made. At this point the two substitute propcsi- tions of Mr. Harrison cf Alabama,and Mr. Bell of Colorado were submitted. The feat- ures of these substitutes have been hereto- fore outlined. Mr. Henderson said the tried to view the claim as one of his own and to act as though his own interests were involved. He believed foreclosure meant complete loss of the Government debt, while compromise on | ment not lawful to prosecute a foreclosure ag against the national Government. Messrs. Perkins (Rep.) of lowa and Mon- dell (Rep.) of Wyoming spoke in opposition to the bill, and Messrs. Knox (Rep.) of Massuchusetts, Mitcheli (Rep.) of New York, § cer (Dem.) of Mississippi and Grow p.) of Pennsylvania spoke in favor of the bill. Mr. Perkins announced that he would not press his amendment as to the Sioux City & Pacific line, as the committee was deaf to amendments. Mr. Broderick (Rep.) of Kansas offered an amendment extinguishing the Union Pa- cific’s right of way through the Delaware een tawattomie Indian reservations in Mr. Ferris (Rep.) of Indiana, in support- ing the bili, oata wholesome sentiments rv not be expected from the California elegation when every man in it took his political life in his hands if he supported -“ — sd settlement.

He den'ed that the failure to pass this bill would compel the Government to issue bonds to pay off liens. The sinking fund now on hand, he sald, would go-far to meet these liens. The plea that the question should not be left as a legacy to the next administration was‘char- acterized by Mr. Hubbard as a “¢lub”’ to force the measure through. The coming ad- m:nistration would bé able to deal with the question with better informafion than that possessed by the House to-day. Mr. Grosvenor (Rep.) of Ohio closed the debate in favor of the bill. He -said this proposition was as fair a one as could be er ee Such was the judement of the yest informed experts in the country. This agitation should not be continued any long- er in the interest of California politics, The path of duty was the one marked out by the committee.

NW YORK, Jan. 9.—Rocco Maresco, who came to this country eighteen years ago, started as a bootblack, became a contractor, and recently a bank president. He still retains a hold on all his various enterprises, and is reported to be worth $250,000, a large part of which he has acquired by invest- ments in real estate. He was sued yesterday in the City Court by James Perrella, a bootblack, for the re- covery of $250, alleged to be due for a patent foot-rest for bootbiack stands. He obtained a mono aly of the privilege of keeping bootblacks on the _§ ferry- boats of the North and Past Rivers. Having acquired considerable money in the venture he cranched out into other enterprises, and anen the Italian Say- ings Bank was organized became a large stockholder and saimsequently its pres- jdent. Perrella alleges that & year ago Maresco feared his boys on the boats were not giving him truthful accounts of their busi- ness and he wanted some scheme which would register the number of shines they gave. Perrella says he invented a foot-rest with a dial to register each shine as the customer placed his foot on it, and that Maresco ordered 100.0f the machines and agreed to pay him $100 for the invention, Maresco denied having made any agree- ment. He testified that the invention was useless. The model was presented to the jury, which returned a verdict in favor of the bank president. A colored man served as one of the jurors. BY MRS.

Office-Hunters and the Taxpayers ot the State Are to Pay the Piper. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, IL, Jan. §9.—Everything is in readiness for the inauguration of Gov. John R, Tanner and the other State officers- elect in this city Monday. Commencing at 10 o’clock in the morning the festivities will follow one after the other in rapid succession, until some indefinite time Tues- day morning. The festivities will cost $10,000, a King’s ransom, every cent of which was ‘‘con- tributed” ‘by those who are seeking State jobs. The committee having the matter in hand knew its business, and it ig stated that the last cent will be paid by Monda night. Grumblings are commencing to bo to the surface, but it wil] cut no foe. The affair will be the grandest one ever attempt- ed in the history of the State. The Executive Committee met this morn- ing and made the following announcement: The people of the State of Illinois are cordially invited to attend the ceremonies of inauguration of the newly elected State officers, to be ‘held in Springfield, Monday, Jan. 11, 1897.

St. Nicholas Hotels, Spring- field, and at the State House.” Perhaps no parade ever given at the State Capital could equal this one in the character of its features or in its magnifi- cence as a demonstration. The military will exceed in numbers a full brigade of the Illinois Nationa] Guard. It will be made up as follows: Chief Marshal, General J. N. Reece and staff; Brigadier General H. A.

This star will be five feet in diameter. The lantern will be illuminated with four 2,000 candle power arc lights. From the lan- tern, draped to the extreme north and soutth ends of the building, will be a string of 250 colored incandescent lights. . The base of the lantern will be festooned with twenty colored Hghts, and there will be festoons of forty colored lights each at she base of the arch of the dome and in the center of the dome above the portico.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 9.—The New Haven ‘tax assessors to-day took a very im- portant step in the direction of taxing Yale College, asserting that the Yale authorities had refused to hand ‘n a satisfactory list, and made out a schedule of their own. The list foots up $439,782. An extremely long and costly law suit is thus apparently at hand, between the town of New Haven and Yale University, which, if resulting un- favorably to the university, will cause it extremely heavy taxation, amounting prob- ably not less than $30,000 a year, as con- trasted with about $1,000, which it now pays. CANADIAN REVENUE. Receipts and Expenditures for the Past ; Six Months. OTTAWA, Ont., Jan. 9.—The statement of revenue and expenditure appears in to- day’s Official Gazette: The revenue for the six months ended December 31, 1896, on consolidated fund was $17,452,000, compared with $17,621,000 for the same period in 18965, or a decrease of $169,000 for the present fiscal year. This decrease was in customs duties. The total expenditure for the six months were $350,000 greater than last year, but omitting the special expenditure for the payment for militia arms, it is $160,000 less. The public debt was decreased by $395,000. The Bourchiers’ Tour Closes.

Remarkable Remedy Which Is Bringing Comfort to Thousands of Sufferers. Probably half the people who see this article sufter from piles. It is one of the commonest diseases and one of the most obstinate. People have it for years and just because it is not immediately fatal they neglect it. Carelessness causes no end of suffering.. Carelessness about so simple a thing as piles has often caused death. Hemorrhages occur ftom no ap- parent cause and loss of blood causes death. Hemorrhages occur during surg- ical treatment, often causing death. Piles are simple in the beginning and easily cured. They can. be cured even in the worst stages, without pain or loss of blood, quickly, surely and completely. There is only one remedy that will do it— Pyramid Pile Cure. It allays the inflammation immediately, heals the irritated surface and with con- tinued treatment reduces the swelling and puts. the membranes into goad, sound healthy condition. The cure is thorough and permanent. Here are some voluntary and unsolic- ited testimonials we have lately received: Mrs. M. C. Hinkly, 601 Mississippi st., Indianapolis, Ind., says: Have been a suf- ferer from the pain and annoyance of Piles for fifteen years; the Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills gave me immedi- ate relief and in a short time a complete cure. Maj. Dean of Columbus, Ohio, says: I wish to add to the number of certificates as to the benefits derived from the. Pyra- mid Pile Cure. I suffered from piles for forty years and itching piles for twenty ears, and two boxes the Pyramid Pile Cure has effectually cured me. Most druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure or will get it for you if you ask them to. It is one dollar pet 4 Mich. package arid is put up only by the P yramid b rug Co.

BILLS TO BE Proposed Railroad Commission, Con- stitutional Revision, Good Roads Law, New Banking Measure, Etc. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 9.—The thirty- first session of the General Assembly will convene Monday, and will be one of the most important since 1874, when the Re- publican party was driven from power. The candidates for the speakership are Gen. Jas. C. Pappan from Helena, F. &£, Brown, Prairie County; J. H. Amacker of Washington, W. F. Kirby of Miller and Thos. L. Herrn from Sharpe. L. L. Coff- man of Boone withdrew last night, and his strength will be about equally divided be- tween the other candidates, although the friends of Mr. Brown claim most of them. Brown, Pappan and Amacker seeem to be in the lead. For President of the Senate W. L. Moose of Morrilten, J. G. Williamson of Monti- cello, B. D. Williams of Little Rock and A. G. Gray of Independence are the candidate, Moose apparently leading. The leading clerical places in both Houses are also attracting unusual interest. One of the most important measures that will come up will be the law regulating railroads through a railroad commission. The Democratic State Conveniion last June favored a commission by practicaily a unanimous vote. Everybody concedes that the Legislature will carry out the wishes of the people; in fact, very little opposition will ‘tbe made. A large number of the leg- islators and Governcr-elect Jones believe that the railroads shou'd bear the expense of the commission, while a number of friends of the proposed law claim that the State should pay the expenses. On this feature a stubborn contest will take place. Governor-elect Jones some days ago pre- pared a bill which will be introduced early, containing many features of the Texas com- mission law; it is probable that at least twenty-five bills of the same kind will also be introduced. As usual, the question of a new Consti- tutton will be broached during the first or second week. Gov. Clarke will again urge the members to call a Constitutional Conven- tion. More than two-thirds of his message two years ago was devoted to that sub- ject. Gov.-elect Jones in his inaugural ad- dress will not make any recommendations either way. The election law will also be the subject of much ctscussion. Gov. Jones will carry out hits promises relative to a change in the mode of selecting commissioners and Judges. He will recommend one of the minority parties be given representation upon every election board both State and County, in- cluding Judges and clerks of election. In conversation to-day, Gov.-elect Jones stated that he would recommend that the law in that respect be amenided so as to make the provisions mentioned mandatory and com- ulsory. He will also recommend the build- ng of State railroads with convict labor. The committee appointed by the State Good Roads Convention, which met in this city last summer, ll hold a session in Littie Rock during the coming week, map out the programme, and draft a bill embodying the recommendations made by the convention, relative to building and imprdving of roads and highways throughout the State. A num- ber of plans have been suggested, one of which is to utilize convicts in this work, but nothing definite has yet been agreed up- on, Another measure which promises to at- tract much attention will be a complete change in the banking system of the State. Several propositions will be suggested by members during the session looking to the settlement of the State debt. Treasurer Gulley in his report to the Governor recom- mends that the bonded indebtedness of the State, most of which will fall due in 1900, be refunded at a hw rate of interest. He also recommends that an act be passed authoriz- ing him to notify the holders of these bonds to produced them at the offi Treasurer with'n one year, so that they can be registered. Mr. Gulley also strongly urges that provisions be made for the payment of the interest on the bonded debt long since past due. Soon after the organization of both houses, a successor to Senator Jas, K. Jones wil! be elected. Gov. Clarke some time ago with- drew from the race, leaving Senator Jones a clear field. He will therefore have no op- position within his party. Col. Fordyce’s Position. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan, 9.—President Fordyce of the St. Louis Southwestern Rail- way, accompanied by Judge Adams, also of tha® city, is in Little Rock en route to Hot Springs. Relative to @ railroad commission, which will be the ae | question to be settled by the Aer}! egisiature, | Col, Fordyce stated that he had no opposition to offer to a railroad commission. He did no» believe, however, that the commission can roperly be clothed with judic‘al powers. Pn President Fordyce’s opinion both the people and the railroads should be accorded the right of appeal to the courts from the rulings of a railroad commission. Further shan this he had nothing to say. —_—-—- >. — — DEMOCRATS OF CUMBERLAND y Choose and Instruct Delegates for Two Conventions. 4 Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Culminating Act in a Postmaster’s Wrong Doings. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., Jan. 9%—George K. Landers, the postmaster at Newberry, @ suburb of this city, late this afternoon shot and fatally injured Seth T. Forseman, one of the most prominent men of Williams- port. Landers has been drinking heavily for several weeks and during the past three weeks his bondsmen have made good @ shortage in ‘his accounts of $390. Mr. Forseman was one of his bondsmen and to-day went,to the Newberry postoffice to urge Landers to resign. An argument fol- lowed and Forseman remarked: “You had better get out of the office at once.”’ Landers drew a revolver and shot Forse- man in the stomach. The latter cannot re- cover. Landers was arrested and lodged in jail. In a statement he said that the shoot- ing was accidental, and that it was his intention to commit suicide. Forseman says that the revolver was aimed at his heart. ( QUESTIONS OF AGE AND DUTY. Chinese Porcelain ‘Causes Trouble in a Custom-House. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

BUSINESS IN LOUIS: BANK, CLEARANCES FOR LAST WEEK BROKE THE RECORD. Less of Faith in Chicago Institutions Has Increased Confidence # In St. Louis. The reputation gained by St. Louls banks for stability is bringing them the business of merchants and smaller banks which has been. withdrawn from Chicago on account of the alarming number of bank failures there and in the Northwest in the last few weeks. * This is shown by the report of the St. Louis Clearing-house Association for the week ending yesterday. It breaks all records of the association gince it was established in 1869, During the period of the panic, when banks all over the country were going un- der, every bank in St. Louis came bravely through the storm. The conservative mefh- ods of St. Louis bankers and the _ solid backing on which the banks operated pre- vented even temporary embarrassment over- taking any of them. St. Louis stood alone among .the great cities of the country, un- injured by the disaster all around her. She is row reaping some of the benefits of the reputation she made then. Some days ago President C. W. Bullen of the National Bank of the Republic in an interview in the Post-Dispatch on the numerous bank failures, predicted that they would shortly result in depositors transferring their balances to St. Louis. The weekly report of the St. Louis Clear- ing House Association, eclipsing the best record made in twenty-eight years and showing an increase of little less than & per cent over last year, indicates that the transferring of balances to St. Louis has already begun. The report shows clearances from Monday to Saturday, inclusive, of $31,679,402. During the corresponding week of 1896, the clear- ances were $25,898,025. The increase this year was $5,781,377, or 22.3 per cent. ¢ best previous record was $28,997,856, during the week from June 38 to 8, 189, That was $2,681,546 léss than for last week. Over the week ending Jan. 2, 1897, with | clearances amounting ito $21,352,615, the in- crease was $10,326,787. When the Clearing House report was post- ed on ’Change it created a mild sensation. The grand showing it made for St. Louis Was at once realized, and numerous ex- planations were offered, the one generally accepted by those familiar with conditions being that Mr. Bullen’s prediction was be- ing fulfilled. he suggestion was first made that the fact that the United States Sub-Treasury now clears through the St. Louis Clearing House Association, would account fer the increase. Investigation disproved this, Man- ager Edward Chase of the Clearing House. Stating that the Sub-Treasury clearances amounted to but $400,000 during the week. This becoming known, the only conclu- sion remaining, leaving out of considera- tion reclearings and ‘transactions in money alone, Was that a vast improvement in the. general business of the banks, due to the transfer by depositors’ balances from Chica- go and the,Northwest, was the cause of the remarkable increase. Manager Chase of the Clearing House said yesierday: “To account for a portion of the in- crease the monthly settlements on 'Change made some aifference. The clearances were $6,000,000 on Monday from this source, That, however, explains only the difference be- tween the showing for the week, in which the monthly settlements are made, and that for the ordinary week days of the month. “The tax collections, which are included this week, make some difference from the other weeks of the entire year of 1896, and also from the corresponding week. The tax collections last year came in a week earlier than this year. “My opinion is that it is somewhat owing to financial transactions, such as the trans- .fer of loans, rather than to general busi- ness. Mr. Chase, however, explained that his observation was entirely from within the Clearing-house, and his conclusion is based entirely on what passed ‘through ‘his hands. Bankers, he said, could tell better. A majority of the bankers attributed the showing made by the Clearing Houge re- rt to an improvement in general bank- ng business, a term used in contradistinc- tion to financial tfansactions, or mere trans- fers of lean and the like. The improvement in general banking business was attributed - ee transfer of depositors’ balances to : ox.18. R. R. Hutchinson, Cashier of the Me- 2 of the Clearing House Association. At the Me- chanics’ Bank it was stated ‘that'as far as its ‘business was concerned during the week, financial transactions amounted to little in comparison to its general banking business and it was also stated that its re- clearances, or clearing from day to day checks against other banks instead of de- manding daily settlements, amounted to go little as to cut no figure at all. W. H. Thomson, Cashier of the Boatmen’s Bank, who is Chairman of the Commit- tee of Managers, practically President of the Clearing House Association, stated that he had been too busy during the week to consider the increase in clearances and hence could not venture upon any discus- sion. * ‘President ‘William H. Thompson National Bank of Commerce stated that tN was difficult to judge whether financial transactions or general bus!ness explained ~, npapenae. . - elieve, though, from the prevatlin. conditions,’’ sald Mr. Thompson, that the increase is due to general business trans- ce en a an ee of the im- ; Z° on. lave not ex: > the matter carefully as yet.” es Frederick W.

TAKEN BY A PULLMAN PORTER. The $600 Gem Will Be Restored to Its Owner, Who Is a Sister of Lillian Russell. The $600 diamond ring that was stolen here from Miss Susanne Leonard, a sister of Lillian Russell, a year ago has been re- covered and will be returned to the owner. The ring that formerly graced ‘the taper finger of the handsome actress has been worn in a small chamois sock around the neck of the negress whose husband stole it. Detectives Badger and Freese received in- formation a few days ago which resulted in the arrest of Charles, Lee, the negro thief, his wife, in whose possession it was found, and the recovery of the jewel itself. The ring is now in the possession of Chief of Detectives Desmond. It has an oval set that con'tains twelve diamonds of excellent quality, ranging in weight from one to one and one-half karats, and two large s4ap- phires. Five of the diamonds have been removed. One was mounted for a stud and adorned the shirt frogt of the negro when he was arrested. Two of the diamonds were re- covered loose. The remaining two are still missing, but the detectives know where they are and they will be recovered to-day. The robbery occurred here a year ago. Miss Leonard was singing the principal contralto role with the Lillian Russell Opera Company, which played a week’s engage- ment at the Grand Opera House, producing “The Little Duke.’’ When the engagement was completed the company left-for Chicago, via the Chicago & Alton Railroad. The train had not pro- ceeded far from the city when Miss Leonard stepped in the toilet room to wash her hands. She moved the ring and latd it ‘ndow. When she dried her hands something attracted her attention, and she did not miss her ring until she reached Qarlinville. From that point she telegraphed to the police here. Detective King, at Union Station, was put on the case. He suspected the Pullman orter, Charles Lee, of having stolen it. e watched for Lee and on his return the detective arrested him. The negro was taken before the Chief and was closely searched and cross-questioned. The ring could not be und nor could Chief Des- mond get a confession, though he strongly suspected that he had the right man. The lily released. "hae one —_ : under surveillance and a few days ago Detectives Badger and Freese received some inside information that caused them to resume active work. Lee had given up his position as a Pullman porter and was employed as a porter in a@ grocery store at amble street. The ne was arrested, and Chief Des- mond subjected him to a severe sweating. He was confronted with evidence that cowed him. and he confessed. He said the ring was in session of his wife, Birdie Lee, at ard street. ry Se entves went there, but the negress denied having it. Even when threatened with arrest she refused to produce the jew- el. She was brought to the Four Courts, where she was searched, and the ring was found in a small chamois bag fastened around her neck. When the other stones are recovered the ring will be restored to its rightful owner. Lee and hts wife will be prosecuted for grand larceny.

ADDRESS DEPARTMENT L, MONTEREY CHEMICAL CO Commercial Building, St. Louis, Mo. OLOROROROROROROROROHORUOOHO ARE WIDE OPEN GAMBLERS’ CARNIVAL STARTED BY CRAZY MURPHY’S DECISION. NO LAW AGAINST BETTING. Half a Dozen Rooms Opened Imme- diately and Twice as Many Will Follow Suit Monday. Like mushrooms on a muggy morning, pool rooms sprang up all over the down- town portion of the city yesterday after- noon under the nourishing protection of Judge Murphy. The four regulars who may be called al- ready established went to work as if no interruption had occurred in their game at all. Tom Walsh simply rubbed out the bluffs he had written up on the blackboards about not taking money and began to gather in the dollars ag fast as his assistants could write tickets. “The talent,” as it is called, was vora- cious after ten days’ restraint and went to picking winners and studying “‘the dope” books with avidity. Never in St. Louis was the game so hot as it was yesterday afternoon, and never did Judge Murphy get a higher commenda- tion from a lower class of men than he did at the opening of the pool rooms. All the touts and “penny ante’’ gamblers who never did an honest day’s work in their lives were loud in their praise of the upright Judge who knew how to do the right thing for the right people. Had even Judge Murphy seen and heard some of the characters who approvingly en- dorsed him he might have felt a tinge of ——_ and been tempted to rescind his de- cision. John Hambrick’s place on Washington avenue was thrown open again and during the entire afternoon there was a jam of spectators and speculators crowding and pushing for the ticket-writers or a view of the blackboards. The game there was good and $2 was the — sum which would be accepted as a ‘bet. If a police officer hove in sight he was immediately welcomed with a torrent of Sarcasm and wit of the grade common to such gatherings. Hank Wider opened up f! fhe alley be- tween Seventh and Eighth streets, south of Pine street, and had like the rest all he could attend to. In his immediate vicinity two or three small books were started in the open air for the small bettors who could not get up to the two-dollar limit. . The gamblers ang pool room _ frequenters confidently and gleefully assert that by Monday afternoon there will be a dozen of these small limit books stuck about in odd corners, making a shade tighter odds than the big books, and stealing their infor- paren instead of hiring the regular serv- ce, The South Side contingent, Adler, Spink, Tilles, etc., have about given up the idea of starting their track. ‘‘What’s the use?” they say, “when we can make more money in a down town book, at one-fifth or one- sixth the expense and worry.” So they set about looking for suitable quarters to open up as many books as may appear to them profitable. The only races gambled upon are those run at the New Orleans winter track. San Francisco is too far away for the players to hold a line on the horses, and the tele- graph tolls are too heavy to warrant tak- ine the results unless the game is good. Tron Hill, somewhere in Maryland, is an outlaw track and is said to be crooked. It is mot popular here. This leaves but New Orleans, and that is played to the limit. The pool-players bid fair to over-do the thing, just as the two outlaw tracks did, and kill their own game by their inord‘nate greed and avarice. The public will stand some things up to a limit, and then there is a kick. If the pool rooms k up the gait they struck yester- day afternoon the citizens of St. Louis will protest in a body and have them legis.ated clear out of existence for good and all. Saturday’s wholesale blossoming out of gambling in this city is due to Judge Mur- hy. W Fem Walsh, the bookmaker, had been tried and convicted in Judge Murphy’s Court. He was given a year in the Werk House and $1,000 fine. He appealed to the Supreme Court, where it wag held that the pool room law of 1895, under which Walsh was convicted, was unconstitutional, inas- much as it permitted gambling on one side of a fence and not on the other. Walsh was released and immediately opened up a pool room, as did others. The law of 1891. which had been amended by the law of 1895, was still on the books. Chief Harrigan asked City Counselor Mar- shall if it was stilla valid law. City Coun- selor Marshall assured Maj. Harrigan that it was and that he might with safety pro- ceed against the — rooms. The law of 13891 prohibited betting on races outside the State. Walsh was making books on the races at New Orleans, Chief Harrigan backed up the patrol wagon and carried Walsh and his crew to the Four Courts, warrants were issued in due form and then Judge Murphy was let into the game. : The attorneys for Walsh came in with a motion to quash the information on the ground that there wag no law against pool selling. The fact that Chief Harrigan, Judge Mur- phy’s enemy, was trying to break up the pool rooms, was dwelt upon at some length, for the purpose of stfrring Judge Murphy up to the proper pitch of indignation against the Police Department. The -pool sellers were presented in the light of meek and lowly law-abiding citizens, who werd being bullied and persecuted by the tyran- nical Harrigan and his minions. Thomas Rowe, attorney for Walsh, went to the extent of saying “oy that Chief Harrigan’s conduct had furnished ample grounds for proceedings for large personal damages, which suits would be ins*ituted the moment Judge Murphy decided in favor - hor y bookmakers, as he undoubtedly Wo ° Mr. Rowe was in Jefferson City yesterday, so the suit for damage done to the delicate feel.ngs of Mr. Thomas Walsh has not yet materialized. He may grow lenient after ei! and le? Maj. Harrigan off if he promises to be good. Judge Murphy did just what the gamblers wanted him to do. He decided that there was no law whatever against pool-selling in the State of Missouri. He sustained the motion to quash the information on the Walsh warrant and dismissed the cases agatnst all the rest of the gamblers who had been arrested for similar offenses. . In half an hour after Judge Murphy had given the gamblers the freedom of FP they were busily | pa mg getting their rooms and their bank rolls ready to resume business on the old, wide-open basis.. The only way to get at them now is to have them abated as nuisances. Chief Harrigan admits that he ‘ls power- less, as there is no court in which to try the cases if made. “Long live Murphy,” say the gamblers, and “Harrigan can stand outside and look in if he wants to,” they add as they jeer at the detectives who arrested them @ week ago. Carousé Ends in Death. William Brennan dropped dead in Roth- echild’s saloon at Sixth and Elm atreets Saturday morning. He was a tvricklayer and had been on a protracted spree.

Boyd, President of the Civic Federation, was asked by a Post-Dispatch reporter yesterday to name the corrupt members of the St. Louis School Board. It was explained to the reverend doctor shat the School Board ring was making capital out of the fact that the charges of the Federation were general, not specific, and while actually and professedly aimed at a coterie of members, was argued by some to cast aspersions upon the innocent as well as the guilty. Especially it was pointed out to Dr. Boyd that his statement, quoted as made, at @ meeting of the Twelfth Ward branch Friday night, that evidence was a) hand to send some of the directors to the penitentiary, was causing many to demand that the iden- tity of the guilty be made known for she od of the community. ey am not prepared to furnish a list of the corrupt members,” said Dr. Boyd. “There are some whom I would name without hesi- tation, but there are others who should be included in the list concerning whom the evidence is not complete.

To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean, Make a Test of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. Interesting Experience of an Indianapo- lis Gentleman. | No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than ‘nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that ne are not cured by nerve medicine at spring remedies; the real seat of the mis- chief is lost sight of; the s is the organ to be looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other ces gm in some cases the heart palpitates is in others the kidneys are affected; others the bowels are constipat headaches; still others are trou w loss of flesh and appetite, with accumula- tion of sour risings and heartburn. Mr. A. W. Sharper of No. 61 Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind.. writes as follows: “A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write these tew lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dys sia Tablets. I have been a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent medicines and other remedies without any favorable re- sult.

The Commission will then review its own work and the suggested amendments will be put in shape for submission. At the cloging session City Counsellor Mar- shall suggested amendments’.to Section - 18, Article 16, providing for a general increase of salaries, as follows: Mayor, $5,000 to $10,000; Comptroller, $5,000 to $7,500; Auditor, $4,000 to $5,000; Treasurer, $6,000 to $7,600; Register, $3,000 to $4,000; Har- bor and Wharf Commissioner, $4,000-to $6,000; President of Board of Assessors, $3,500 to 000; President Board of Public Improve- ments, $5,000 to $10,000; Assessor and Collect- or of Water Rates, $3,000 to $4,000: Commia- sioner of Supplies, $3,500 to $4,500; Commis- sioner of Buildings, $2,500 to $5,000; Commis- sioner of Light, Heat and Power, $2,500 to 35,000; Chief of Fire Department, $4,000 to $5,000 ; Superintendent of House of Refuge, $1,200 to $2,400; Buperintendent of Fire and Police Telegraph, $2,400 to $3,500: City Coun- SG0r, $5,000 to $10,000; Associate City Coun- gelor, $4,000 to $5,000; Assistant City Counsel- or, $1,800 to $2,500; Commissioner of Sew- ers, $3,500 to $5,000; Commissioner of Streets, 34,000 to $5,000; Commissioner of Water $4,500 to $7,500; Assessor of Special.

Mr. Marshall moved to amend sec. 1, art. 10, by adding to it a provision that no street ratiroad franchise shall be granted for a longer period than twenty-five years, and none shall be transferable. Sec. 5 of art. 10 is made more stringent by providing that street railroad companies which fail to maintain the paving between and twelve inches on each side of their tracks shall forfeit their franchises, so far as those streets are concerned. An amendment to section 2, article 19. makes provision for the forfeiture of all , rights by street railroad companies which fail to complete their Ines and operate them as prescribed by ordinances.

Completion of New Buildings at the Poor-House Will Relieve the City Hospital. After more than thirteen months of euffer- ing and sorrow and blindness, self-mnflicted for the sake of a fickle girl who did not love him, but allowed him to spend his money on her, Sylvester Brown will lead a procession of sixty unfortunattes to the St. Louis Poor- house Monday morning. Lying supinely at the Cy Hospital, with his sightless eyes moving restlessly in their sockets, he awaits the (arnmnss g and grind- ing of the wheels of the cruel ambulance that are to bear him over the hills of Ar- senal street to’ the last goal of the city’s unfortunate ones, save the gloom of the grave. Yet he is not hopeless. ia “Oh, I cannot stay there long!’’ he ex- claimed to a Post-Dispatch reporter last night, and {t seemed that tears were not far below the surface. “I still have a few things left, and I may be able to raise a little momey on them, go that I can support niyself for awhile.” “But what then?” The poor fellow turned away and buried his face in his hands. Years and years and years were before ‘him, and the light of his life had gone out forever! Well might he have said, in the language of Prometheus, chained to the rock, while the vulture gnawed at his vitals: pros: A series of bickerings between the couple followed, but the girl demanded a c present before consenting to matr!- mony. Brown was unable to furnish it, and finally he became downcast that he determined to end his life. He went to the Hetel Rozier, at Thir- teenth and Olive streets, on the afternoon of December 3, 1895, and fired three bullets into his head from a revolver. Instantiy he became blind, but, although he was not sciousness. Since that day he has never behéld the light, and he never will, so long as life shall last, for the optic nerves were destroyed. Fifty-nine other patients at the City Hos- pies will be transported to the Poor-house fonda rane The lis? includes Stephen Ryan, Edward Price, Dennis McGinley, Jas, Gilligan, Thomas K.Jjrain, Prosper Laconier, 80 years of age; Simon astro, William Meyer, Paul Althoff, Thomas Clark, James D.

Fortune With a String to It. Gustav Johnson of S8t. Mary’s, Potta- watomie County, Kan., left his wife, by will,’ the choice of accep ing a half interest in his estate and freedom to do as she chose as to her-future state, or the whole of his prop- erty should she be willing to promise not to Marry again. ‘“T wouldn't mind going there,” he said, ‘if it were not for the disgrace of the thing. I am helpless here, but my pride rebels at the idea of going to that lonesome inhospitable place, even though I would not have to exert myself to keep alive, T: is worse than being a castaway, and God knows I am nearly. enough that now.” He smiled in a manner that was inexpress- ably pitiable. “No,” he said, in reply to a question, ‘‘my relatives do not know where I am, or I am sure they would gladly help me. My mother ives in the State of New York. My father is dead. I have brothers and esters, but lI have never written to them or sent them any word since I became blind. I could not bear the idea. If I had Jost my sight under any other circumstances it would have been different; but as it is, if I have my way, I will hve and die alone and in silence, and they will never be any the w'ser. “TI made an effort to get into the Missouri School for the Blind, but it seems that per- sons ‘beyond a certain age are barred, and I was unsuccessful. There I could have learned some trade and been able to make my own living, but now I am all at sea. ‘The exercise that I take amounts *o very little. I can get around the hospital fairly well, but I Rave never been out of the building since they brought us up from the old hospital thas was wrecked. in the tor- nado last spring. “Some of the patients read to me, and I manage to keep pretty well posted on Con- gressional matters and the Cuban war. I am greatly interested in ‘that. ‘I suppose I have nothing to blame for my condition except my own folly, and I would rather die than have my relatives or friends know about it.’’ Not once did he mention the girl for love of whom he sought his own life and in- flicted blindness on ‘hhimeelf forever. Brown is only 83 years of age. He was a jewelry salesman and resided in New York, but traveled extensively through the West. While in Kansag City, about two years ago, he met May Haegle, a variety actress, whose home was in St. Louts. , He became infaituated with her and fol- lowed her to Chicago and other places, and finally, in Oc'tober, 1895, to St. Louis, every- where showering upon her costly presents, which she eagerly accepted. He was in- troduced into the family, and further evinced his devotion by purchasing valua- ble presents for her parents and other members of the family. They were then living on Adams street, near T'wenty-second, but Brown persuaded them to move into a more select neighbor- hood, and rented a house, paying a month’s rent in advance, on Olive street, west of Forty-second. That day Brown ordered about $2,000 worth of furnishings, in anticipation of $5,000 he expected to receive in a few days. That night he went to the house, but, be- ing a stranger, was unable to find the num. ber readily, and Haegle, pere, caused his arrest because of a groundiess fear that he intended to harm his daughter. e whole ‘household turned against him, and ‘May Haegle gave him the frosty face in a manner that drove him almost to desper- are ordered, Under ordinary circumstances such re- they are made two or three at a time, but on this occasion the removal will be whole- sale, representing the accumulated unfor- tunates' during a period of severa! months. After the tornado the Poor-house buildings became so crowded that it was impossible to admit more patients, and so as a result the City Hospital became overcrowded. More than 660 patients were crowded into the tem- porary hospital at Seventeenth and Pine streets, and it was almost impossible to handie them properly. Were every hygienic detail regarded, not more than 150 patients could be quartered comfortably. As it was, it was found necessary to re- mowe the chronic cases into three rooms in the northwest wing of the. building, jocu- larly referred to as the Midway Plaisance. Side by side, as close as the cots could be placed, the patients were crowded in, and there they will remain until to-morrow morning, when four ambulances, necessitat- ing two trips, will convey them to the Poor-house. ‘*‘There is not a man in the lot who wants to go,’’ said Assistant Superintendent Re- der. “They have enough pride to dislike the name of it, and, besides, they have had such an easy time of it that they don’t relish the idea of a change.

Family troubles were the cause. ' All three bodies were found weltering In their blood. The family trouble in Which the tragedy had its origin. began sevéral years ago and culminated in a suit for di- vorce. Slimm had threatened to kill his wife and she had applied to the court for protection from him.

Important Legislation Bearing on Lo- cal Affairs Which He Hopes to Put Through. Special to the: Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Jan. §9.—The crowd of people congregated here from the four corners of Missouri on account of the opening of the Legislature is gradually dis- persing. Disappointed place hunters are leaving for their homes and there is a gen- eral settling down to busines’. The pros- pect for the énactment of some good laws is bright. Chief among the immediate pending events is the inauguration of Gov.-elect Stephens, which wHl take place at noon Monday. The joint House and Sen&te Committee appointed to make inaugural arrangements is at work. The committee is composed of Senators Lancaster, Goodykoontz and An- derson, and Representatives Avery, Piper and Trultt. The inaugural reception will be held at the Governor’s Mansion Monday night. There will be an elaborate musical programme. Gov.-elect Stephens announces a welcome for everybody, and the event is not limited to invitations. MYs. William J. Stone, wife of the retiring Governor, and Mrs. Paul Moore, wife of Gov. Stephens’ sec- retary, will be prominent among those who assist Mrs. Stephens in receiving the guests. It is announced that the punch bow] will not be in evidence at the Stephens inaugural re- ception, The programme for the inaugura‘*ion of — MRS. WM. J. STONE. Goy. Stephens will be as follows: There will be a joint session of the two bodies in the hall of the House of Representatives at 12 o’clock Monday, Jan. 11. It will be presided over by the President of the Senate. Gov- ernor-elect Stephens will be me® at the office of the Secretary of State by Lieuten- | ant-Governor-elect August H. Bolte, the Chief Justice and Judges of the Supreme Court, the Joint Committee of Escort, Sec- retary of State, State Auditor, State Treas- urer, Attorney-General, Superintendent of Public Schools, Railroad Commissioners and ®he Sergeants-at-Arms of the Genate and House. They will proceed to the office of the Governor, where they will be joined by the Governor of the State, William J. Stone, and will then proceed to the House of Rep- resentatives in the following order: First-Sergeants-at-Arms of the Senate and House. . Second—Commilitee of Escort of the Senate and House. Third—Members of the Supreme Court. Fourth—State officers. Fifth—Lieutenant-Governor-elect August a ell PAUL B. MOORB, lite iin H. Bolte and Lieutenant-Governor John B.

The oath will be administered to Governor Stephens by Chief Justice Barclay of the Supreme Court. Tt is expected that the House and Senate committees will be announced early in the week—probably not ‘later than Thursday. As the personnel of the-committees has much to do with the passage or defeat of bills, there ts necessarily much anxiety. Senator Lancaster of St.. Louls is partic- ularly active in the. introduction of legis- lation. His amendment to the election laws will, it ts believed, be adopted. One eek aes Se Soeent amentoe ts st | Commissioner. ee is @ certainty, boxes there will be no way of knowing who voted a given ballot. This is intended to prevent the possibility of coercion or in- timidation. “The amendment I propose would have saved the Democratic party thousands of | Socal? in the last election,’”’ said Senator Lancaster to the Post-Dispatch correspond- ent. Another amendment ts to keep the polfs open until 7 o’clock p. m., for the benefit of workingmen, who find it inconvenient to reach the polls at an earlier hour. There is also a provision to increase the pay of eleetion judges and clerks from $3 to $5 per day, but this increase in expense is more than offset by the striking otit of the third day of registration, leaving only two. Sen- ator Lancaster says that two days’ time is eufficient for registration, and he esti- mates that by striking out the third day, at least $6,000 in expense will be saved. “T am opposed to giving the judiciary executive or legislative power,”’ said Sen- ator Lancaster, “and that is why I have introduced measures having that end in view.”’ Along that line, the St. Louis Democratic Senator has several bills already — intro- duced, and others of like nature will fol- low. The Lancaster bills are of particular WHILE DEATH WHloKED BY. PROF. NIPHER’S EXPERIMENT WITH A LIGHTNING EXPRESS. WAS TESTING WIND PRESSURE. How It Feels to Stand Eighteen Inches From a Train Moving Fifty Miles an Hour. “How does it feel to stand eighteen inches from a train going fifty miles an hour?” There is one man in St. Louis who has been there. He is Prof. Francis E. Nipher of Washington University. He made the experiment in the interest of science during the past week, He has only a few bruises to remind him of the ordeal. To Prof. Nipher’s scientific mind there is MRS. C. FE. LEONARD OF BOONVILLE, Sister of ‘Mrs. Lon V. Stephens. MRS. PAUL B. MOORE, Sister of the Governor-elect. to relieve the Circuit Judges of the power to appoint stenographers, jury commis- sioners and janitors. Senator Lancaster would have the stenographers and jury commissioners appointed by the Governor and the janitors by the Mayor of the city. “When the judiciary has executive ow leg- interest to St. Louis, City.

He was trying to figure out the wind pressure exerted by swiftly moving bodies. The swiftes? thing he could find on earth was a fast express and he got as close to it as he could so as to get the full benefit of the wind pressure, He came near experiencing the effects of wheel pressure, but he doesn’t mind that, ‘because he found out whats he wanted to know.

He makes frequent trips out of the city for the purpose of testing the pressure ex- erted by the wind at various velocities. An extremely high wind cannot be encount- ered frequently, so Prof. Nipher gets on a fast train and raises the wind, which is practically the same thing. The back- ward rush of air around a train going 60 miles an hour has the same effect as the wind blowing at the same rate would have. Prof. Nipher noticed that when his re- cording instrument was held close to the side of the train there was a smaller pres- sure than.that recorded when the instru- ment was extended five or six feet from the car. He concluded that the air near the car must be carried forward with the train. It was to test the accuracy of this con- clusion that he made his startling experi- ment. This is his account of the test as told a Post-Dispatch reporter: “T had been out along the line and was walking back to Louisiana, when I saw the fast express coming down the track. The thought flashed over me that here was the close to a train. “Il was just opposite a railroad coal bin. leaned back until I was not more than “AS the train approached I found myself speculating as to its speed. I never reached a conclusion, for when the train was ap- parently fifty feet from mea strange thing happened. The train faded out of sight. I repeatedly about the body. How I held on to the post I do not know, for I did not I was con; about the body. “When lat last gained full consciousness the train was out of sight. If I were placed on the witness stand I could not have sworn that it passed me. I was still cling- ing to the post and continued to do so for several minutes, ‘The first thought that struck me was that I had been foolish. Then there came to me a tercible realization of the danger to which I had exposed myself. .I fotind myself calculating in how many different ways I might have been killed, “Thoughts crowded in om me so fast that I was seized with a fear that I was going mad. I thought what might have happened thad the suction of the train pulled my feet from under me. Then I had a mental picture of myself going over back- hel me plunging head first under the many wheels what might have happened had the train jumped the track and rolled over on me. “How long this state of mind lasted I cannot tell, but I was never so horrified in the face of actual danger as I was when standing by that little post after all possi- bility of danger had passed, “T have had three other narrow escapes from death, but none of them had sich an effect on me. On one occasion while driv- ing, my feet were entangled in the lines and YI fell under the buggy. The horse ran away and dragged me two blocks. On that occasion I was vaguely conscious that something was being done to me. “Another time I was at a fire and had just stepped off the pavement when a wall fell, killing several people and almost catching me. I was mentally stunned for an instant, but went right to work helping the rescuers. “The only time I ever had a sensation anything like the one that ed the passage of the traih was 4dst after receiv- ing a heavy electrical shock from a bat- tery of Leyden gas. I was experimenting in the class room and accidentally dis- charged a battery of six of the jars. As on this occasion I was unconscious for a brief period, though I remained on my feet. When 4I regained consciousness I began ‘to figure the horrible things that might have hap- pened to me had the charge been stronger. The feeling’ was almost exactly the same as the one thatcame over me after the train ‘passed. “I stood clinging to the post for some time before I found an explanation for the blows about the body which I felt while the train was passing. The blows, at least, were not imaginary, for there was about half a bushel of anthracite coal about my feet. This almost compensated for my terrible mental shock, for it proved that I had not overestimated the forward dmpetus given the air close to a fast moving train. The coal had been picked up from the bin and carried along with the train and close to it until I stopped it. It was altogether an experiment which I would not care to make a second time.’’ Prof. Nipher has since learned that the train passed the coal bin at the rate of fifty miles an hour, ‘While the Professor has no desire to make another close range personal test: of wind pressure, he is preparing for a series of experiments which will be watched with interest by scientists everywhere® A fast train will be used, but Prof. Nipher will be on it, not alongside of it. He expects to obtain results which will revolutionize existing methods of comput- ing wind pressure. The experiments will be the most thor- ough of the kind ever made, though Prof. Nipher has been working along the same lines for a number of years. He has had several difficulties to contend with, but be- lieves he will overcome them during his coming tests. Wind pressure is one of the most difficult problems to be solved in all kinds of con- struction work. It is an element that must be taken into consideration in erect- ing buildings and bridges, and must be fig- ured to a ni¢ety to instré the safety of sky scrapers. Prof. Nipher believes that the formulas now used by builders and engineers are faulty. He hopes to remedy the defects in the present basis of wind calculation and to obtain new formulas of great practical valze. “T expect,” he said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter, ‘‘to get more accurate estimates of wind pressure at various velocities than have ever been obtained. Engineers and builders now use what are termed pressure boards. A pressure board is usually about three feet square and made of light wood. There is a spring and a scale at the back. It is placed facing the wind and the press- ure is computed from the reading® on the scale. ‘‘All calculations now used are based on results obtained from experiments with these boards. These calculations are nec- essarily faulty because there is always an exhaust beh'nd the board; that is the air passes around the board and there is prac. tically a vacuum behindit. There is no such exhaust behind the wall of a building. The interior of a building is filled with air. The exhaust, instead of being behindsthe wall facing the wind, is om the other side of the building. “In my experiments I will do away en- tirely with this exhaust. The apparatus I use is comparatively simple. In my pre- vious experiments I have projected a pres- sure collector from the car window. This collector is a small metal cylinder. The end turned against the wind is open. The other end is connected by a rubber tube to the top of an airtight cylinder containing water. Another rubber tube leads from the bottom of the water cylinder and connects with a graduated glass tube. The pres- sure of the wind without forces up the col- umn of water in the glass tube inside the car. “The exact pressure of the wind when the car is going at any speed can be deter- mined from the readings on the tube. The pressure required to raise a column of water a given height is known. By taking the readings on the tube at a known ve- locity and applying the Known mathemat- ical formula, obtained. ‘When the car runs, say forty miles an hour, the conditions are the same as if the car stood still dnd the wind blew in the op- posite direction at the same rate, “In making the experiments the pressure at different distances from the car !s ob- tained by placing the pressure collector at different distances from the car. ‘Heretofore I had no means of determin- ing the exact speed of the train when a given reading was taken, so that my results were not mathematically correct. In mak- ing: my next series of experiments I shall have a Boyer’s speed recorder attached to the car. It is the one thing needed to make my results absolutely accurate, I am hav- ing a recorder made especially for the pur- pose. “In making my experiments hereafter I shall extend the rod carrying the pressure collector through the car roof instead of from the window. The results will be the same and there will not be 80 much danger of breaking the rod through contact with telegraph poles, bridges or passing trains. “The experiments will be of great value for three purposes. As I have said, it will enable bullders to calculate accurately the wind pressure a wall will withstand. “I> will be of great value to railrog@ds. It will determine exactly the air pressure at different distances from a Moving train and will show at what distance from the train the so-called suction might be fatal or dan- gerous to people or animals along she track.

The plague which has caused 325,000 people to leave Bombay and is killing hundreds daily, is identical with a malady which has raged repeatedly In Asiatic coun ries in epl- demic form In the last eighteen centuries, and with the “Black Death” which ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages. It has also reaped a terrible harves: in Egypt and Libya, This diearder is marked by a sudden attack of high fever, the patient’s temperature ris- ina to 108 degrees, or-even higher, and is atvended with headache, thirst and atupor, which rapidly advance to a state of coma. Death often occurs within twenty-four hours of the first manifes ation, although the averege run of the disease in a fatal case is about two days. attack a glandular swelling, hard, and tender to the touch, usually appears in the groin, armpit or neck, most frequem'ly in the groin. These_ characteristic tumora, or buboes, give to the malady one of {ts familiar names. etimes dea"h overtakes the victim before the swellings appear. In other cases the tumors suppurate, especially if the patieng lives beyond the second or third day. Suppuration is usually regarded as a promising sign. The most powerful of the various influences that promote the spread invariably breaks out In those quarters of a city where the dwelling-houses are overcrowded and surrounded by filth. The fiustration shows how favorable are the condi ions presented In Bombay, with Its narrow and crowded streets. The bubonic plague appears to have been known in Byria, Egypt and Libya during Trojan’s reign, early in the Christian’era, Bur the first well-au- thenticated invasion of Europe did not? occur until about M3-'46, when it appeared in Constan.inople and spread-.to Italy and Gaul. The next greet inroad began about 1346, and proceeded, it is thought, from Tar:ary to the Crimea and Sicily, whence it reached pretty well over the continent and across into England. At firregular inter- vals for more than three cen*uries ft swept this city and that with appalling havoc, re- eppearing again and again In the game spot. Among the mos: impressive death reo- ords of that period are the following: 1427, Dantzic, 80,000; 1466, Paris, #,000; 1579, Mos- cow, 200,000; 1576, Venice, 70,000; 1654, Naples, 300,000 in five months, and 1664-'65, London, 68,596 out of a population of 46),00, two-\hirds of whom fied the city. During the six- teenth century China wea “nearly depopulated” whh the plague, tt is said, while In the single year 1603 no les then 1,000,000 lives were jost In Egypt. Since the outbreak in Marseilles th 17%, when the deaths numbered from @,000 to 0,000, the plague has receded toward the Mueporua, and haa scarcely been seen egain in Europe except in that vicinity, Between twelve and twenty-four hours afier the beginning of the . determine just how much of the force that makes the anemometer revolve is due to the wind pressure and how much is due to other causes.” Prof. Nipher says it will take him «a month to prepare for his experiments. The experiments themselves will consume the same length of time. The railroads are deeply interested in his researches. Thé Illinois Central has offered to place a spe- clak train at his disposal for an entire month. He will probablye accept the offer and ~~ make the tests on the Illinois Central main line between Chicago and Cairo. At the conclusion of his experiments Prof, Nipher will write a book on the subject, whcih will be published by the St. Louls Academy of Science, of which he is a prominent mem- ber. WAS SINGLE FOR 22 YEARS. He Never Thought of Securing a Di- vorce Until He Met the Hand- some Widow Kennedy. After having been deserted by his affections. Within 10 minutes after Judge Valliant had untied the first knot, Barnes and his prospective bride were stapding side by side in the marriage license office waiting for the clerk to issue the document which would enable them to be made one. In his petition for divorce Barnes stated that he married his wife, —— Versailles, Ind., on Christmas day, 1871 went well until the fall of 1876, and then Mary left. She never returned ~ her hus- band. Barnes bore it in silence until be met Mrs. Sarah E. Kennedy, a widow, who con-~ ducts a boarding house tn East St. Louis, Then Mr. Barnes sald he wanted a di- vorce. It is quite possible that at the same time he said something to Mre. Ken- nedy, for there was no hitch in the pro ceedings after the divorce was granted Sat- urday. Mrs. Kennedy was in the court room as a witness for Barnes, to testify to his good character, but was not needed. When Judge Valliant heard Barnes’. story of almost & lifetime spent in loneliness he granted the divorce without further ado. Barnes walked out of the court room, his matrimonial shackles off, and Mrs. Ken- nedy on his arm. They secured the license without even waiting for the divorce papers to be made out, and started at once on & search for a Justice of the Peace. CHINESE FRAUDS.

The Indianapolis Monetary Cofiven- tion, and a Large Attendance Is Expected. o-oo INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 9.—As usual, the mail delivered to-day at the executive headquarters of the monetary conference contained lists of additional delegates and praise of the movement. Members of the executive committee of the conference say that there remains no goubt of the success of the convention, which opens on Tuesday next in Tomlinson Hall. All of the minor details are being shaped satisfactorily. The arrangement of the hall is decided wpon, the business men’s recep- tion committee has responded promptly to the call made upon it and delegates are beginning to arrive. Up to noon to-day the number of dele- gates actually reported was 370. In addi- tion to these there are nearly 200 delegates promised from towns that Were unable to appoint them until the last minute. The executive says that there is no doubt that the number of delegates who will be pres- ent at the sessions of the convention will be in the neighborhood of 500. The committee regms of the Monetary Con- ference inthe Dennison Hotel present a busy scene. Over 200 of the prominent business men of the city went to the rooms, said they had been appointed members of the various committees, asked where they were to re- port for work and were supplied with tickets of admission to the hall and with blue silk badges, bearing the words ‘‘Reception Com- mittee’ stamped on them in gold. *~ The committees will start to work early on Monday morning, when it is expected that. delegates will begin arriving in force. The tickets ¢ame from the printer’s hands to-day. All bear the same words: “In- dianapolis Monetary Convention, Tuesday, Jan. 12, 1897.’’ The executive committee is trying to ar- range so that all strangers coming. into town to attend the convention will be taken care of. In response to numerous letters from delegates the executive committee hag engaged rooms at the leading ‘hotels. W. F. Golt, who has been appointed Ser- geant-at-Arms for the grand convention, has appointed eleven assistants to guard the doors, and take care of the sessions. In additién to this, Supt. Colbert of the police department has detailed six patrol- men to maintain order. The convention will not be called to order until after the noon hour. The chairman of the executive committee will call the meet- ing to order and will nominate ex-Gov. E. ©. Stanard of Missouri as temporary chair- man. Jacob W. Sm*th, acting secretary of “he committee, will be temporary secretary. It-is understood that Evans Woolen will be proposed for permanent Secretary. Mr. Stanard will have some remarks to offer and those, together with the completion of the organization, will consume most of the ses- sion. WOMEN’S BICYCLE RACE ENDS. “It Wound Up With an Accident in Which a Rider Was Hurt. CLEVELAND:“O.; Jan. '9.~-The close. of the six days’ biaycle race for women tiis evening was marked by an exicting acci- dent which resultéd in the severe injury of Miss’ Amy Kalgren, one of the contestants. About half an hour before the finish Dol- lie Farnsworth, who was riding at a furious pace, be about to fall from her-wheel. Miss Kal gren, who was r.ding directly behind Miss Farnsworth, got off to go to the latter’s as- sistance. As she dismounted she was struck by the wheel of Miss.Tillie Anderson and was thrown violently to the floor, the whee! passing over her. She was carried from the track and lay unconscious for some time, but finally re- covered and was able to walk. Miss Ander- son's wheel was smashed, but she at once mounted a new one and proceeded around the course. There were many lively spurts in to- night’s race, the greatest being that of Miss Anderson, when she was trying ‘to gain a lap on Miss Farnsworth at the time the ace‘dent occurred, ' Miss Anderson was first at the finish by a length, Miss Farnsworth second, ° Miss brown third and Miss Keyes fourth.

Jimmy has the name of being rather slippery and the policeman wound his eft hand up in Jimmy’s right coat sleeve. In rounding a corner Jimmy get a lamp port between himself and the ‘copper.’ Then he gave a few vigorous jerks and twists.

It Is Increasing in Strength and Do- ing Good Work on Its Origin- al Lines. The following sighed etatement, from the president and the chairmen of the Execu- tive Committee of the Workingmen’s Bryan Club, will be read with interest: As the Post-Dispatch has always treated the Workingmen’s Bryen Club with fair- ness, we ask you ‘to give the following state- ment space. We do this in the hope that it may allay the nervousness apparent in the last few days on the part of some of the papers of ‘this city, and the fear that our organization is about to ‘“‘split.” On the contrary, since headquarters of the club were opened at 115 North Eleventh street our membership has steadily incFeas- ed. Ewery day free silver workingmen drop in and enroll their names, and at every meet- ing of the ward branches new members have and are joining. That politicians who are hunting office for the spoils, however, and who cannot use the club to forward their purposes should make desperate efforts to disrupt and belittle its membership, is to be ex- pected. Yet it remains to-day -what it was when the organization first started and its 12,000 members went into the presidential campaign with the shibboleth of ‘“‘Bryan and free silver’’—a club composed of work- ingmen and citizens—that has broadened its lines.and feels that the corrupt and un- principled element in politics, which has so often betrayed the interests of the ccm- mon people in the past and which now stands a menace to good government and the impartial administration of the laws must be fought to a fintsh and overthrown if better conditions are to prevail. The movement asking Gov.-elect Stephens to appoint as Excise Commissioner an ab- sclutely clean man of high character and entire freedom from entanglement in city “machine” politics is in direct HMne with the objects of this club, and the fact that nearly 24,000 voters have signed our peti- tions and indorsed the movement, and that the club has ined the enviable opposition of the whole clique of ward heelers and cor- rupt politicians thereby, proves that .we have made no mistake in our position. It is true that, bribed by promises of being “taken care of,’ the Delegate, President and Secretary of one of our ward brancheg held a ‘“‘meeting’’ and indorsed Mr. Higgins, and were promptly suspended therefor, as violating the constitution of the club, which reads: “No one shall be indarsed by this club for an elective or appointive public office except by the Council of toe ge by a majority vote of all accredited delegates, and then not until after due and careful in- vestigation thereon.’’ Cc. L. Cline (brother-in-law of Mr. Hig- gins), the delegate from the Eighth Ward Branch, was present when the matter of taking action with regard’ to the Excise Commissionership came before the Council of Delegates. On the reading of the resolu- tions he retired to a small room back of the Council Hall, and when the _ resolutions were adopted and the Executive Commit- tee directed to push the matter Me. Cline made his “escape” by climbing a back fence. The capture of the Eighth Ward branch by Mr. Higgins’ brother-in-law, et al. on Friday night was in the same line. The statement that Mr. Cline was ever an “or- ganizer”’ of this club is absolutely false, and his statement that money was con- tribu'ed by the Civic Federation toward the Workingmen’s Bryan Club, has been guf- ficiently met by the president of the Civic Federation. We expect that here and there £e0ome of our weaker members and small branches may fall before the corrupt in- fluences of the boodle politicians and their methods, and we are glad to be rid of such. But they have’ not, nor can they in the future, injure the club’s membership to any appreciable extent. As to the source from which the money came to get up the Excise Commissioner- ship petition we can state positively that we have had no communication on the sub- ject whatever with Gov. Stone, that about $200 were contributed by business men of unimpeachable character who are friends of and interested in good munic!pal govern- ment, and to them and to the Working- men’s Pryan Club will be rendered an item- ized account of the expenses. The ccrruption of a few members and all these n@wspaper attacks are not hurting the club in the least. The public can easily see the source from which they spring, and that opposition we invite—that is the corrupt element we are in the field to fight. We have served notice that the Working- men’s Bryan Club is in existence to fight the old pclitical ringsters, and are glad of the opportunity to find such, when there are any, in our own ranks, and shall promptly expel them. Every voter in St. Louis knows that the old ring politicians havée betrayed the working people in the past, disregarded their Mmterests, promised time and again to advocate measures for their benefit which have never been car- ried out. All movements for better'nge the condi- tion of the working people have been op- posed by this class; every movement for the impartial enforcement of the laws has had bitter opposition from them... They meet every organized attempt on thé part of honest men with bulldozing methods and Slander. But in this case it has counted without its host. The Workingmen’s Bryan Club is organized to fight for a clean munic- ipal government, and to “turn the rascals out.”” Every effort will pe made by the of- ficers and members ef the club:te carry out its declaration of principles and objects. We expected to have a bitter fight on our hands, and we are prepared to meet- the issue, feeling assured that we have with us the “God speed” of every honest voter in St. R name gt Sige tty of creed, color or party c.

A Story in Which Passion, Pride and Perversity Are Strangely Intermingled. Jack Torrey was in hlove—most hopelessly and abominably so—and “the object,”’ as the dream books say, with peculiar perspicuity, was apparently indifferent to his attentions, Why this should have been true Jack could not divine. He was not bad hoking— he knew that—and upon the whole he wae inclined to pose as a martyr of the Adonis stripe, “done to death” by a fair woman's smile. His purse, while not plethoric, was well lined; his muscle was good, and everybody knew him for an athlete who could throw the hammer further and kick a foot ball har der than anybody in a radius of fifty miles. His mustache was a composite presentation of all that is good and beautiful to behold in that line of masculine adornment; and when, _during that long and tedious summer of '93, Jack laid seige to the heart of pretty Jean- nette Bascom, and she held him starving outside the ramparts, everybody wondered, and the good old dames of the little town of Madrid discussed the matter with. great garrulity when any two of them chanced to meet. But Jack was more sorely puzzled than the dames; and, being less resourceful than they, was at a loss to know how tv _ proceed. Jeannette Bascom, among other things, was noted for having .the prettiest foot in Madrid. More than one masculine heart had been set a-flutter by a glimpse of her shapely ankle, and more than one disconsolate lover had stolen away from his daily task to jot down a few feeling verses in commem- oration of a sight so thrilling, so that Jack was by no means the first victim of this infection. One Way, after having seen the fair Jeannette cross the street dur- ing a shower, he rushed back to his desk and wrote the following, together with two or three other stanzas, which mailed to her post haste: “Shapely, trim and small and neat, Nature ne’er performed a feat Half so fine. I could kneel and warmly kiss Though it tread, and deem the bliss Most divine.’’ All of which went to’ prove that Jack was irretrievably in the hands of the enemy. Only @ very young man or a hopelessly-in-love 2 could descend to such depths of hu- mility. And thus he went on through a whole sum- Torrid, teeming lines flowed from his n ina black, inky stream. Gleaming dol- ars furnished pleasures for the fair Jean- — — — en a _ Lovely! Well, it might be lovely a hun- dred years frdm date, Jack thought, but he could gee no immediate occasion for hi- larity. Lovely, indeed! No fond farewells were said that night. She would‘not care for him—he saw that plainly—and when Jack dragged himself away from the Bascom homestead that ment he was in a measure resigned to his ate. It was Monday afternoon. The trunks were packed, and the old famfly carriage was conveying Col. Bob Torrey and his dis- comfited heir to the railroad station. As they turned a street corner a maddened horse dashed by them at a furious rate and in the drag behind the frightened ani- mal Jack descried the form of a lonely pug dog. Nothing more. astily dismounting, Jack gave chase to the runaway, and overtook the outfit by sprinting across a vacant lot. Just as he did so the ‘horse made a sharp turn, and the shivering pug was hurled violently through the air and landed with a yelp fairly in Jack’s arms. It was Benny. At that moment the afternoon train sped by. Jack saw it and cursed his luck. Con- ecedliing the pug inside his coat, he made his way back to the carriage. There was nothing to be done but to wait for the next morning’s train, and father and son drove slowly homeward. j It was Monday evening. and Jack again found himself, by force of peculiar circum- stances, in the front parlor of the Bascom mansion, alone with Jeannette. “Oh, Jack!’ she cried, “you were 80 no- ble! But it was just like you. poer Benny had been killed I would have died. Jack, believe me, I do love you, after all, but I have been too proud to say so. Don’t go away, dear. You won't, will you?’ Jack sat for a moment in silence, think- ing unutterable things. “So this is my reward, is it?’ he finally asked. ‘‘Well, it is more than I deserve, I am sure, and hope you will pardon me, Miss Bascom, when I say that I cannot @c- cept it. I am hot tn the life-saving busi- ness as a regular thing, nor am I seeking notoriety of the gold-medal brand. You have given me your love—why? Because I saved the life of your miserable dog, just as you might have given it to any other man under similar circumstances. TI am really much obliged to you. Good night, Miss Bascom,”’ At 10 o’clock next morning Jack was speeding over th® plains in a smoking car, |For won the title page of “Westward, Jo!"

Trips to the seashore and trips to the city and trips to the country, which { cost something, availed him nothing. Moon- light strolls and eloquent speeches and wasting sighs, which cogt nothing, were ~ poe unavailing. A double distilled pall of darkness and despair seemed to be set- tling down upon him. What was to be done? Jeannette Bascom was only 19, but she had seen much and heard much, and was alto- gether a very knowing maiden. To many she appeared thoughtless, but that air was assumed. She was really in love with Jack Torrey, but to have given amy sign of yield- ing to her passion would have seemed to her aw ness, and she studiously avoided it. It might be all right for others, she thought, but for her—never! The very idea of yield- ing was repugnant. She had never yielded to anybody, and Jack Torrey might die of his pining before she would give him rea- gon to believe that she loved him. But with Benny it was different. Jean- nette loved him to desperation, and show- ered her favors upon him in a manner that was positively maddening to his rivals. She did not hesitate to kiss him, or even em- brace him, and when Jack witnessed their cooing, only omee, he was fairly beside him- self with jealousy and rage. Nobody prais- ed Benny's feét, Re thought to himself, bit- terly, or sat up nights to write voarses on them. Even Jeannette's sister hated Benny, like the good hater that she was. Benny was a pug. The beautiful summer was all but ended, and the woodlands had commenced to don their robes of russet and gold. To others it had been an ideal season, To Jack it had been a time of torture. A whole summer wasted in playing at cross-purposes with a woman! He ought to have been at better business, he admitted, but it was so piti- ful to hear the poor fellow tell of his wast- @1i love when we were alone that I had not the heart to chide him. He was ridiculously unselfish in all he said amd did, and why “the dear girl,” as he chose to designate her always, in distinction from other girls, did not throw herself on his panting bosom Weep her life out sweetly there I could never imagine. Sthing had to be done. That was evi- dent. Jack was pining away—actually pin- away. On the first Saturday afternoon in September, after the bank of which his father, Col.

Blanchard, a young man out of a job, and Wilbur D xon, awaiter. The four agreed to go to Cuba, to fight ‘Weyler. They met every evening in Peckingtcn’s, and while others sang and laughed. over itheir mugs of beer, these young men sat | quietly in a corner, discussing their plans for the trip. Each managed to interest a few friends in the project. The majority of them treated the matter lightly, but several were serious, and when hoses were counted, nine who were willing to make the trip were found. After this the question of how to secure transportation confronted the young enthu- siasts. Boucher took this duty upon him- self and started out to see a number, of the Cuban sympathizers of the city. ‘Fi- nally he announced to his fellows that suc- cess had rewarded his efforts. Just where the money came from is something the young men would not tell. Early Saturday afternoon the young men informed their friends that théy intended to leave in the evening. Some affected to treat the matter as a joke, but when night fell the adventurers gathered their belong- ings together, said good-bye and boarded a car for the Union Station. There they climbed aboard a train on the L. & N. Line, bound for Mobile. From Mobile they will travel by steamer to Key West; where they will join similar bands from various cities. ~The entire crowd will board one of the many filibustering steamers that ply between the Florida Coast and Cuba. They a oe to be in the insurgent ranks by feb. 1. It is an open secret among those in the confidence of the adventurers that all ar- rangements for the transportation to Cuba have been made. The men know just what steamer they are to sail on, and the day of starting. This they kept to themselves, fearing that the story might leak out, and their plans be spoiled. To what point in Cuba the young men This has been left entirely to the Cuban Junta in Key West, to whom the men will report upon their arrival.’ It Was expected by all of them that they will be sent to Santiago de Cuba, as that is where the in- surgent €orces are recruiting and operat- | ing at present. The young men are sturdy, intelligent fel- lows, who are determined that they shall berheard from after they get into the Cuban ranks. ‘When they left Peckington’s fast night a final bumper was drunk to their} success, CRAZY MURPHY’S BAD MANNERS Displayed His Hatred of Judge Pea- body in a Restaurant. An incident occurred in a restaurant in the neighborhood of the Four Courts yester- day that illustrates the affection Judges urphy and Peabody entertain for each other. It was at phe luncheon hour, 473 Judg Thomas H. abody, he of the suit a hairless head, had accepted an invitation from his old friend, Col. Bob Claiborne, to dine. The jurists were seated, the Police Judge with his back to the door and Col, Bob facing it. A waiter had taken thelr order and while waiting for their dinner they were discussing various topics. Col. Claiborne is known to be on equally good terms with the Judge that is called hairless and the Judge that ‘s called crazy, and he carefully avoided a discussion of Murphy's rulings.

The Whole Bicycle-Politico Situation Summarized by the Ohio Vice Consul. Arthur ‘E. Chase, Consul 6f the Ohio Di- vision of the League of American Wheel- man, is making a vigorous campaign in fa- \vor of W. A. Connolly of Danville, DL, for President of the L. A. W. Mr. Chase grows very enthusiastic over his candidate and fondly hopes that he can win. Mr. Chase sizes up the eituation in the following let- ter from Toledo, O: TOLEDO, O., Jan, 9.—The approaching National Assembly of the League of Ameri. can Wheelmen, which is called to meet at Albany, N. Y., b four ¥ t tha ut promises to be o By os wabeboeins t rapidiy growing or- ganization.

It did 160k that way at first, but Potter will by no means have an easy fight, if present indications are to be taken as a criterion, Theré is a man in the West whose matchless oratory and recognized ability pecullarly fit him for the place. Hon. ._A. onpony: pene of a daily paper at Danville, Iil., ig one of the great favor- ites of the entire body. He has been im- <n in years agone, to be a candidate, ut has always refused.

If it is assured he cannot, Geo. D. Locke of Jerseyville, Ill., will be put forward to suce E. 8. Hartwell of Defver, Col., as National Treasurer, who seems to be booked for de- feat. A, Cressy Morrison, present Vice President, and who has been indorsed by the Wisconsin delegation, is out of the fight for the Presidency, and will carry, some strength wherever he goes. The fight will be a very bitter one. Ever since the color line was drawn in the League at the National Assambly meeting in Louisville a few years ago an effort has been made to have the word “white” elim- inated from the constitution, and the Afro- American race has made arrangements to have the most eloquent of their race present to make known their claims for recognition. It is a very safe wager, However, that the color line will no% be wi out and that i the colored wheelmen desire a e o ‘Wheelmen they must organize one their own. ' Railway vegetation will be taken up and quite genera ly discussed, But one of the warmest contests that will come before the session will be on “he mat- ter of legalizing Sunday racing, something Several of the Southern and Western di- visions demand. It is believed each State division will be empowered to regulate its own affairs in this particular—tha? each 4i- vision will be gives the State’s rights pre- rogatives in the matter. This ll avoid discord and every division will be permitted to do as it chooses as <0 legalizing Sunday racing, and the competitors therein will not be disfranchised from their rights in States where such racing is not permitted under League regulations. The question of requiring all racine men to be members of the L. A. W. will also be taken up. Improvement of public highways will be given much attention and a vigorous cam- paign will be laid out for the year. As the organization’ waxes in strength its efforts in the way of public benefit will be made all the more apparent. ARTHUR E. CHASE. BRACING UP. Louisville Getting Her Tail-Enders Into Better Form. e LOUISVILLE, Jan. 9.—The personnel of the Louisville Club for 1897 will not differ materially from that of last season. The installation of the new management, Presi- dent Pulllam and Manager Rogers, has served as a tonic for the stagnant hopes of the base ball pee and the club will begin the season with el assurance of libe support. From President Pulliam the plans for the future have been ascertain and there will be but few changes in the tagm when it beging the season. One thing the management has decided upon is that there will be no ments. ese they think have proven peat. and whatever changes are made will be for the better, as only pavers whose ability in the big league are known will be tried. e Perry Werden case will be pushed to the end. During the latter part of mber Werden was drafted and it was ratified by President Young, but tweeve hours later a wire was received which sald that tae a had a previous claim.

Some men look the saddest when they are most cheerful, Others look the moSt joyful when they are on the verge of des- pair. Still others’are either sad or cheerful without apparent cause. This life is an emotional puzzle. I don’t understand it.”’ Mr. Littiemedder sipped his glass thought- fully and seemed to look beyond me. “Why is it that no two men bear afflic- , tion alike? Even if they bear it with equ- animity the degree of their endurance is never the same. While the fortitude of one may hold firm, that of the other will waver. One we regard as a hero: the other as an un-, fortunate to be pitied. The others are hard | to classifv. “There ie a class of men who, when for- tune goes against them, and they are mifer- able and despairing, seek relief by artificial means, “Some of them get drunk; others get mar- ried, and still others commit suicide. “It is difficult to draw the line and say which is the most foolish. “The man who gets drunk to-day regrets {t to-morrow. ‘The man who gets married, may regret it all his life, and the man | who commits suicide may regret it forever. | “Tt's a sad state of affairs, whichever way you turn,”’ said Mr. Littlemedder. | “I’nless a man jis able to bear the ills that come, there is no escape from disaster, temporal or eternal. “Take the man who seeks relief in the flowing bow], for exaniple. He goes abroad in a hilarious mood, trying to drown his troubles in a Red Sea of liquor. Boister- ously he sings: “ ‘Fill the bumper fair! Every drop we sprinkle O'er the brow of Care Drives away a wrinkle.’ “But does it? That is the question, and every man of experience will answer no. Troubles have all the ability of a duck to swim, and when a man wakes up in the morning and finds them merrily floating on the surface, when he had thought them dead and drowned, it is really discouraging, and he questions the success of the ex-| periment. But the chances are that he will try it over again the same day, just for luck, and if he doesn't land in the peni- tentiary or a madhouse, he will hardly es- cape a case of delirium tremens, And, when the worst is over, he will still find his troubles on top, as animated and vindictive, as ever. “No, sir,”’ sald Mr. Littlemedder, emphat- | feally, ‘‘a | | man can’t rid himself of life’s cares. and respons'bilities simply by making himeelf irresponsible for a time by means of drink, and the man who attempts it is a weakling and a fool. “Then, again, there is the rash individ- | ual who se*ks to drown his troubles in the eea of matrimony, for the navigation of which no marin.r’s compass has ever been invented. “He become dissati:*ed with his condl- tion in life, and the more he broods over the matter the more restless he becomes, He decides that life. in single harness, is a failure, and he decides to enter the contest with a mate. Right there is where he shows his fatcl] weaknéss, just like 'the man who resorts to the use of st’'mulants. He can- not face the ills of life alone. He must needs choose some woman to beir the brunt of misery and push her before him to meet the enemy, like the moral coward that he ' } is. “She, deceived by the glamor of love and | the purring voice of the tempter—for the | coward is ever cunning-—enters the matri- | monial lists, happy in the anticipation of | good, little think!ng that she has been made the dupe of a weakling, whose love she would have spurned, and which she does spurn as soon as she learns his true character. “Then the would-be shirker of respons'!- bility commences to see life as it really fs. He finds that he has merely exchanged ore set of troubles for another, and that he has got the worst of the bargain. He iried to | make a dupe of a woman, and, in return, his life was made more m'serable than be- fore, while his power of resistance was weakened. His heart is filled with despair, | born of weakness. and he gives up the Struggle and lavs down his life. “But even there his troubles do not end, if we are to accept the theory of everlast- | yesterday afternoon, home and the delight of her mother’s smile. The heart of the mother was pained at ‘the disobedience of her child, yet remained stern and unforgiving. The husband of the daughter was strick- en with illness and lay, apparently, at death’s door. One night a lonely man sat in the soli- tude of his chamber. Suddenly a thought came to him. He ' would execute it at once. He went forth into the darkness of night and purchased a large bouquet. “Tt will please*her,’’ he said. He took it to the willful mother.. smiled at the unexpected gift. “Come,” he said, ‘“‘go with me to the home of your daughter.”’ She drew back in amazement. Could she entemain such a thought? ~ He insisted. “It is best,’’ he urged. | The mother relented, and leaning on the arm of her unexpected visitor, she sought the home of her child. “"'Tis well,’’ he mused, as they neared the gate. “’Tis well.’’ They tried the door and the daughter ap- peared. The women gazed at each other, astounded, but it was soon over. With a convulsive cry they sprang into each other’s arms and in each other’s em- brace wept out the bitterness of years. Grief was changed to gladness. The kiss She of the mother lay,upon the daughter’s lips. Heaven smiled upon «he scene. The lonely man retired, with wet eyes, happy at the good he had wrought. “‘An action like that,’’ said Mr. Littlemed- der, as he replaced the clipping in his pock- et, “is its own best commentary. What’ll you have?” SCHMIDT HAD CONFIDENCE. He Also Had $5, but He Has Neither Now. Charles Schmidt was an easy mark for a man in front of the Union Trust building When Schmidt walked stranger asked him if he did not by the |‘want a job. A liveryman at 2835 Cass avenu® wanted to employ a good young man, said the stranger. Schmidt was willing to hire out. Then the stranger said there was a pack- age at the express office with $2.85 charges on it. The stranger did not have the money to get it out, and told Schmidt if he would ad- vance the amount the boss would return it. Schmidt had a $5 bill, which he let the stranger have. Schmidt waited while the man went for the package. Schmidt is out $5 and the police are looking for the stranger.

HUN- NEWELL, A BOXER, RIDER AND EXPERT AT ALL SPORTS. The most muscular and best all-around athlete of all the sport-loving women in New York society is Mrs. Hollis H. Hunne- well. She was Miss Maud Jaffray, and nat- ure endowed her, as it has every member of the Jaffray family, with a fine physique, She is six feet tall and her figure is molded in superb and beautiful proportions. Her face, too, is a rarely handsome one, with clearly cut, regular features, smooth, firm skin and brilliant coloring. Her brown hair is wavy and abundant. As a‘child her robust health demanded plenty of outdoor exercise, and her strength fairly forced her to prefer the companion- ship of boys rather than of girls. Her father, Howard 8S. Jaffray, has a fine coun- try house at Irvington-on-the-Hudson and it was in the country and in the companion- ship of boy relatives and their friends that Mrs. Hunnewell spent the holidays of her girlhood. ‘“‘Tom boys’’ some persons call such girls, and the beautiful young matron will not deny that the term applied to her.

It is child’s pley for her to leap from the ground to the saddle, unaided, and it is whispered that even now she can vault a five-barred gate that her hunter might re- fuse. Mrs. Hunnewell is the granddaughter of the late Edward S. Jaffray, who, at her marriage, presented to her a very hand- some dowry. Her husband is one of the wealthiest young men of Boston, having inherited his father’s fortune. CASHIER UNDER ARREST. Charged With Embezzling From an Electric Railway. NIAGARA FALLS, N.

Blind from childhood, he still managed to learn Latin, Greek and mathematics, and, what was more surpris- ing, to make himself so thorough a botan- ist, that it is said that he could classify by touch, taste and smell every plant growing wild. within 20 miles of his home. When it is said that such astonishing re- sults are ‘“‘achieved by pluck,” it is true, but it is only part of tbe truth, for pluck is but one of the characteristics of that high genius of which blindness is but too frequently an incident. Pluck means the persistence which comes from ability to undergo without shrinking a stress of labor and of suffering before which weaker natures shrink back appalled. All great men, all men who achieve great results in any line of effort, have sucn ‘‘pluck,”’ but, unfortunately, men of genius often learn only when too late that their physical organization—the fine and sensitive nerves through which great intellect ope- NEW YORK’S STRONGEST SOCIETY WOMAN. brik He Geert S +> 5 WAH SS ~wAS > _ > . = =~ _ Ss iv - " ™ th : > \ ant m wie ‘yao Gee Cas $ es . ’ . 7 4 7, +. %,, =. seegtte® ee Pees A ’ > 4 Sa a ie AS .

You never saw such a The French have a proverb which is strikingly applicable in the case of blind genius: “One can travel far after becoming weary,”’ they say. And if that is sadly true in the life of every man whose genius gives | him no release from labor, how inexpressi- ble is the. sadness of its truth where, as in , the case of Prescott and Milton, the worker for mankind must push on his rough and painful way through darkness which has no dawn. In nothing, perhaps, is the sub- limity of Milton’s literary geniug shown ee than in the sonnet on his own blind- s: When I consider how my light is spent Ere — my days in this dark world and wide, And that one talent which is death to hide Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker and present My true account lest He, returning, chide, Doth God exact day labor, light denied? I fondly ask. But patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies: God does not need Either man’s work or His own gifts. Who e Bears His mild yoke, they serve Him best. His state Is kingly. Thousands at His bidding speed, And post o’er land and ocean without rest. They also serve who only Stand and wait. This is classed as cne of the noblest son- nets ever written, but there was that in Mil- ton’s life, as in that of Prescott, which was nobler still. It was the ability to go on “‘a long way” after being exhausted, the “pluck” which counted blindness no obsta- cle in the way of the work to which their genius impelled them. Milton was great in his resignation to the inevitable, but though literary tegen may appear at its best in poems which he could not have written un- less he had been blind, the genius of his life, the full meaning of his manhood only ap- pears when he asserts himself against what had seemed the inevitable and rises superior to it. And the ability to do this ts what is called “‘pluck!”” It is not a very poetical word, but perhaps it will do as well as any other, for the quality is so great in itself and it has so much depending on it that no one word could possibly define it.

San Francisco has @ newspaper known aa the Call. The Cail has an assistant city edl- tor named L. D. Adam. Mr. Adam has a wife. Mrs. Adam has two cats. This story deals with those cats, and the story must be true, because Mr. Adam printed it in the Call. The cats are brothers, and are black as any cats ever were. One is named Chuffy and the other was christened Svengal!, but it has been shortened by usage to Sven. Each feline knows his own name, and will quickly respond when called by Mrs, Adam. Chuffy is the smarter cat of the two, and has a number of tricks in his repertoire which Sven does not attempt. One of them is to eat with a napkin tied around his neck. When thus fitted out Chuffy will sit sedately in a chair and carry bits of meat to his mouth, one piece at a time, with his paw. If the naps ie taken away the cat gobbles his fo using both paws to get it to his mouth as rapidly as possible. But ft is as musicians that the cats are punetbelty renowned. Here again Chuffy eads.

McKinley’s Emissary Has Been to St. Louis Making With Filley. Terms Special to The Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.~Has Sec- retary David R. Francis been ‘‘turned down”’ by President Cleveland in the proposed open- ing of the Wichita Indian Reservation? This question is being asked frequently now by those who know something of the inside history of the case, and the impression is quite general that Mr. Cleveland has done that very thing. During the holidays Secretary Francis as- sumed a positive attitude on the proposi- tion to open the great Indian Reservation in Oklahoma, now occupied by the Wichitas. In the most positive terms he stated that he would name allotting agents before Con- gress met again and that these agents would be put to work at once. Time passed and the allotting agents were not named. In answer to repeated inquiries 'the Secretary stated that protests had been filed and that these would have to be investigated befcre any action could be taken, It has developed, however, that this pro- test.came from the White House and from Mr. Cleveland in person. According to the story told by those interested in the Wichita matter, Mr. Cleveland promptly and decis- ively sat upon his new Secretary of the In- terior. He is said to have told him that he did not want these lands opened to settie- ment at this time, and didn’t propose to have them opened. Joseph P. Smith of Ohio, Maj. McKinley’s trusted messenger in confidential communi- cations with Republican statesmen, has made three mysterious visits to St. Louis recently. Each time he has gone quietly, and on each occasidn“he has spent consider- able time at the Mosque, close.ed with Chauncey I. Filley. This is the story that is brought direct from St: Louis by a Filley Congressman, and it is being told here with especial at- tention to detail to scare back into the fold those three cabinet-making journeymen Congressmen—Benton, Treloar and Tracy— whoin a sudden spirit of truculence whisked off to Canton and asked Maj. McKinley to put (Maj. William Warner in the Cabinet. The Filleyites exultingly proclaim that the secret mission of ‘‘Joe’’ Smith was to make peace between the President-elect and the gray but wily boss who presides over all celebrations at the Mosque. They declare that Mr. Filley is not nearly as anxious for peace as is McKinley himself, and that the olly Mr. Smith was authorized to, and did in fact, say to Mr. Filley that President- elect McKinley would be pleased to recog- nize his claims when the new administra- tion came into power, and that the Presi- dent would be glad to consult his wishes before making any appointments in Mis- souri. It apvears that ‘‘Joe’’ Smith has been to St. Louis, and the Kerens adherents here who have been waiting expectantly for him to wave his rabbit foot before the President and have him shake far vlums into eager mouths are frightened. They fear that Col. Kerens’ “‘pull” has lost its elasticity. If it be true that peace negotiations are pending be. ween Canton headquarters and the c#mp of the enemy on Beaumont street, then Col.

ACTRESS SUES | BRITISH GAPTAIN ee ACTION BY MABEL DUNCAN “THE GEISHA” COMPANY OF PROMISE. OF FOR BREACH London Is Laughing Over the Aristo- cratic Snobbery Displayed by Lord Salisbury’s Nephew. LONDON, Jan. 9.—The action for breach | of promise of marriage brought by Mabel Duncan, of ‘“‘The Geisha’ company, of | Daly's Theater here, against Captain Ar- | thur Bingham Crabbe, late of the Third and | Eighth Huzzars and now of the Royal Irish | Regiment, has been set for trial on Monday next. Miss Duncan, who is a very pretly young woman with a limited experience on the stage, asks for $50,000 damages. She is only 18 years of age and is the daughter of Adam Seymour Dickson Duncan, who, under the name of “Mr. Kileyth,’’ formerly owned the famous race horse Euclid and whose disastrous, experience on the turf. induced him tv desert his family, which eventually caused his daughter to take to the stage as a means of supporting hirself. On her mother’s side, Miss Duncan ‘s related to the Earls of Bracdaloane and Lauderdale. A great,.deal of amusement has been caused by a letter from the Hon. Harding E. Gifford, dated from the Junior Carlton Club. tifford, who is a nephew of Lord Salisbury, the former Lord Chancellor of England, violently denounces the increas- ing fraudulent use c* arms, and wants to form an armorial club, where those of grentle birth may withdraw from contact with spurious gentry. No one will be eli- gible unless certified by the Herald’s Col- lege, so that, as a wag remarked, “Its aris- tocratic members may be safe from con- tact with spurious pretender:, possessing only urauthorized heraldic beasts, birds and monsters,”’ The Westminster Gazette suggests that the members should have coats of arms em- broidered on the back of their coats, and that rings should be placed outside the club house to which the noble members may attach their griffins, leopards and lions ram- pant and couchant, when they go inside. For a person “‘politically dead’’ Mr. Glad- stone is still attracting the greatest atten- tion in Europe.

Britain had bet- ter wait and see what he will: do. The general impression prevails that he will be sworn in as a member of the Privy Council] when he comes to England. It seems to be settled that the longest- reign celebration will be known asthe Dia- mond Jubilee, for the Prince of Wales has set the seal of royal approval upon it by the use of this description in a speech. The preparations will soon begin, as the cele- bration is rapidly assuming a magnityde unforeseen when it was first broached. The Prince of Wales, the Duke of- Connaught and the Duke of York will have to bear the brunt of the labor of entertaining, in order to save the Queen as much fatigue as possible. It is reported that her repre- sentatives are negotiating to secure a large new ‘hotel for the accommodation of the many members of royal families expected. The Chronicle says taat Emperor William attaches the greatest importance to his visit to England upon this occasion, and that the hopes to meet the Czar under his grandmother's roof, and improve the occa- sion to dissipate misunderstanding between Russia and Great Britain. The court functions of:the approaching season include five drawing rooms and five levees. The State apartments in St. James’ Palace are being redecorated, and the Prince of Wales will hold two levees there prior to his departure to Cannes in ‘the middle of February. The May drawing room will be held by the Queen in person, and the rule limiting the presentees to two hundred will be strictly observed this year. 3:shop Hartzell of Cincinnati, accompa- nied by Dr. Fowler and Prof. Gamphor and wife, sailed from Liverpool for Africa a few days ago. The object of the Bishop's journey is, first, the establishment of a hos- pital in Liberia, where Dr. Fowler will be placed in charge and where Prof. Gamphor and his wife will engage in missionary work. From Liberia Bishop Hartzell will proceed to the Congo, and, in fact, make an inspection of all the African missions under the care of the church. Since he arrived in England, three weeks ago, Bishop Hartzell has spent over a week in a hospi- tal, where he was obliged to undergo a sur- gical operation. The operation was verv successful, and hegrecovered rapidly, and left here in the best of health and spirits.

An interesting and successful experiment has recentiv been tried with the orchestra at the Empire Music Hall. For some time it was noticed that the instruments did not sound as exact as they ought to, and vari- ous schemes and alterations were proposed. The orchestra at this house numbers some ixty pieces. F.nally the leader, Mr. Wen- ‘1, got the directors to have a species of platform sounding boards piaced elonge the foot of the orchestra, and the bottom was filled with six inches of broken glass and charcoal.

Hav- ing ascertained through an investigation made by a special board the extent of the defects in the plates already supplied, the next step has heen taken by the reorgan- ization of the Steel Board. This has been done upon the lines suggested by the chief constructor, Mr. Hichborne, namely, to make the majority of «he board -experts. Capt. Day, the present head of the board, will be succeeded in that place by Com- modore Coffin and Lieut. Everett has been succeeded by Constructor Dashiel.

What has become of the $10,000 he received for Breitenste.n? Where are the players he intended to byy and where is the first-class team he invended to give St. Louis in 1897? The Louisville’ Club, the only club between the Browns and the tall-end ‘n 1895 and 1896, has, tn addition money expended in players since the last season, author ged President Invest $10,000 as he sees fit in that team.

' Louisville loses last place, the Browns the best chance to fal) he’r to it. uppear to be outclassed by the other National League teams. Dowd is an intel- ligent and «nerget.c manager, who, if given full charge and .ntrusted with a respect- able amoun' of money for the purchase of players, would get good results out of the team he would place in the field next sea- eon. ‘he drafting period of the National League begins on Oct. 1 anil ends on Jan, 1. During that time a National League club has the right to take a player from a mince: league ciub by paying the price the class'- fieation of the minor league to which the player belorgs, calls for. In the Western and Eastern Leagues it is $590, and in less important leagues it Is $300, and so on down to $5c, The St. Louls club drafted, Hart- man, but jinatead of paying $500 for him, traded. Myers to the Milwaukee club for him. So, really, President Von der Ahe has not invested a single dollar in players sinee the close of last season, although he realized $10,090 for Breitenstein alone. The players under contract or in the Browns reserve lis: are: McFarland, Mur- phy and Douglas, catchers; Hart, Donohue, Parioct, Kissinger. Evans and Hill, -pitch- ers; Connor and Fuller, first base: Hart- men, third base; Cross, shortstop; Dowd, Turner and Suilivan, outfielders. The team is without a second baseman. It is said that Bierbauer, the Pittsburg second baseman, who was refused in a proffered trade by Louisville, or Crooks, WAO Was released by the same club, will be secured. Another prospective deal is the exchange of Connor for Holliday, who drew pay from the Cincinnati club in 1896 for doing bench duty... The weakness of the Browns is emphasized by the estimate placed on the individual players by the managers cf the other clubs. Dowd and McFarland are the only Players who have a market value. A small sum might’ be realized by the sale of Hart or Donohue. but the others are not considered g£00d trading material. President Young's official records show how disappointing the Browns’ batting was in 18%. Kissinger, who led the St. Louis team, ranked forty-first among the batters. Parrott, who was second, stood seventy- | ‘ixth, and Connor’s work during the season gave him an average of .282, and entitled him to the eighty-third place.

Manager Garen last year had one of the largest benefits, and one of the most popular ones in the history of the theater in St. Louis. He was then but a year old as a resident manager in the city. Since that he has made an additional record for himself that has brought him a largely increased number of friends, and has made-him still more popular with the patrons o« the house. MHavlin’s, during the last two years, has been one of the most succes-ful theaters in the country. Its success has been largely due to the efforts of Mr. Garen, in the courteous treatment he has assured the patrons of the house. The character of the entertainments has been of the best, but more that has been the pleasure there has been in attending the perfgrmances, The encouragement given Manager Garen is one of the sources of sat- isfaction of the public on this annual occa- Sion. as —_——o--— James J.

ONE THAT RAN FOUR ual AFTER BEING SHOT ENTIRE- LY THROUGH THE BODY. —— _— —— - —-P- Hunters have enjoyed some rare and ex- citing sport recently in hunting bears and Wildcats in Sullivan County, N. Y., says a Port Jervis special to the Sun. Back of Edred, in the town _of Highland, several] bears have been k-lied. Dan Hallock, the veteran guide nd hunter of that place, told his wife on Christmas morning that he’d go out and kill a bear just to break in his hired man, John. The two men started out with- guns and dogs for Mud Pond Swamp ard “were not long in finding bear tracks, and Haliock put his dcgs on the track while he and John ran around to the otner side of the swamp where he knew the bear would come out. They had just reached the place, when there was a thrashing of bushes and cut ran two full grown black bears. Hallock fired and t RIES OF ANIMAL AND HUNTING LIFE. Rochester purchased the cats for $3 and will have them mounted. Wildcats are plentiful in the vicinity of Hankins. One day last week a dog belonging to Delzene Tyler of that place brought a wildcat to bay a short distance down the Delaware River from Kellam, Pa. The beast swam to a rock in the river and remained there until a man named Jones shot it. BULL AGAINST RHINOCEROS. A Terrible Fight Between the Animals, in Which the Bull Conquz:rs. When I was on the Zulu front'er, said a traveler recently, I stopped for a week with a native. a splendid fellow, who had a fine farm. Among other animals he had a young bull called Hulo, which he and his children fondly believed could vanquish any beast on earth. Hulo was a great pet, and notin the least vicious, so I was surprised on the sec- ond evening of my stay to see Hulo sniffing the air and pawing the ground in evident rage, I was about to ask what it meant when out of the forest came an ugly rhi- noceros, My host and I hurried for our guns and Hulo dashed at the beast with dauntless'! courage. ‘A rush, a crash and the bull was hurled twenty feet. Fortunately the horn of his enemy had not caught him and the first rush had taught him a lesson... His horns were like sharp swords, but the hide of the rhinoceros is remarkably thick and he young bull soon showed signs of fatigue. BEARS ON A RAILROAD TRACK. —— THE TROUBLE THEY BRING TO ENGINEERS ON A NEW YORK STATE LINE. ee ee The engineer of a coal train on the Fall Brook Railroad, while passing through Pine Creek Canyon near Tiadaghton Station a few days ago, saw a dark object on the track a few hundred yards or so ahead of his !oco- motive and he brought his train to a stop. The flagman ran ahead to remove from the track what all supposed was a drunken lum- berman—a not uncommon obstruction to transportation in that bocality—but he came back to the train a great deal faster than he had gone away from it. The supposed drunken man, says the New York Sun, was a big bear sitting composedly between the rails. When the flagman re- ported the engineer sounded a sharp blast on his steam whistle. The sudden shriek stari- led the bear so that he jumped four feet ‘in the air, the trainmen say, and when he landed again he made off down the track as — THE BULL WAS TOO MUCH FOR HIS THICK HIDED ANTAGONIST. wounded the foremost bear, which shook its head and made a dash for the hil's. Then began a lively chase, which lasted for three | or four hours. Over ‘hills and through swamps the animals continued their flight, ' urmtil at last Hallock got in another shot at long rangé which brought down the wounded tear. The other bear escaped to the swamp. An examination of the car- cass showed that Haliock’s first shot thhad struck the bear under the chin and passed clean through the body, and its run of nearly four heurs after being wounded showed remarkable endurance. The sad- dles were brought to Port Jervis to-day and shipped to the city. The bear weighed 250 pounds, D. D. Bishop and John Selleck of Montice!- lo went wildcat hunting on Mr, Chapin’s | property at Lebanon Lake, in the town oi Lumberland on Christmas, That portion of Sullivan abounds with ferocious animals, | and Mr. Chapin, who lives in Brooklyn, has | ‘given sportsmen permission to hunt for them. His park is stocked with impecrted | game, and the wildeats have of late been | killing the smaller animals, The two Monti-| cello hunters had splendid luck, and returned | home at night with two as fine wildcats as | were ever brought to town. Bishop shot one of the animal's, which measured four feet from tip to tip, and the other was Killed by! Selleck. The two cats netted their captors | 8, he town of Lumberiand gave a bounty} ‘$6.

This was rapidly weakening the rhinoceros, and just at this found some steel bullets, leaden bullets hav- ing no effect on this animal, and quickly completed the work Hulo began. Then the bull stood on the carcass and bellowed his joy. The Dogs Made Too Much Noise. Co). Burr of Virginia was a mighty fox hunter and loved the sport beyond words. He owned a fine pack of hounds, and during the season thought of nothing but his hunt- ers, his dogs and the weather. He was once entertaining an old army friend from Texas | whose ideas of hunting any animal irvolved the use of firearms, and who had never seen a foxhound. He had been with difficulty persuaded to go forth one morning with the Colonel and some friends to a meet, ant were waiting impatiently for the hounds to ‘ake the scent. Presently there burst upon their listening ears the din of thirty canine voices in full ery. The Colonel's eyes gleamed, and as he settled his feet in the stirrups and stretched his arm toward the velping pack he cried: ‘‘Major, listen to that heavenly music!" The Major pricked up his ears for a second or two and then replied: “T can't making such a noise.” The Colonel put his spur savagely into his horse’s side and dashed away, leaving his guest to his own ter ’ devices. time we | fast as he could go, the train pursuing him. The chase lasted for half a mile, when the ' bear jumped down a high embankment into Pine Creek and disappeared on the other side.

She had g small box with her which she had lad of the floor just inside the door. Then she appropriated a seat. She was German and spoke little English, and mighty poor English at that. She was solicitous about her box. When she paid her fare she said to the conductor: “Does dese car g0 py dot Female Hospital owit?"’ The conductor replied that it did, and nod- — and old living selling papers canrot run There are those who have established « trade at certain street corners and must stay there and stand the cold as they can. ia It was at Sixth and Locust that a litte — mite of a newsboy stood on this cold after- _ noon. He had « on, but they were the low cut variety which are the hot summer, but are not bestow any warmth on the wearer In w ter. And he had no stockings to wi them. He wore knee pants, and legs) were purple with cold as he stoos ret ot shivering, but brately crying h ners. Passers-by looked at him, pitied him aud- ibly—then passed on. Out of Barr's came a red-faced, fat and jolly-looking old lady. She did not feel the cold. Kt made She loo She did es bim by. r tittie fellow with no ay lke this,” she said ’ en to him, “Come in here, little fellow, and I'll fix you.” She took him in tow, and purchased a strong, warm po of woolen stockings. Then she took off her gloves. The fact that a bath had not been taken of late days or weeks by the boy did net fease her tn the enet, nor that his clothes were old and ed. She bade him take off his shoes. Then she picked him up in a motherly fashion and drew the stockings on those bare legs self. Then she him if that didn’ feel better. In the shamefaced way of children unused to such acts of kin he said it did. Then she went on her way; the boy went outside and cried his popes ttle in a bolder tone. It was a pretty street incident which brings with it 2 a ing glimpee of the universal brot of man theory—it is not much of a practice, more’s the pity. J. PERCIVAL SWORE. Bis Rival Was Tricky and His Beat Girl Religious. Tt was a scurvy trick that his rival played on J. Percival Jenkins, It was indeed, J. Percival had been in love with a West End maiden for many moons, He loved her better than he did his job, and that is say- ing a great deal, these hard times. But he had a rival. _ Last Sunday evening J. Percival betook —— ding her head towards the box, she added, “I. vas got me a small pox.” She intended to ask him to keep an eye on it, but she did not get that far along, “What? You've got the smal! pox?’ asked the horrified conductor. “Yah, I vas got me a small pox,” the old lady answered complacently, as she set- tled herself in her seat. “Well, you can't de to the hospital in this car,”’ he said, edging away from her, and giying the signal to stop the car. “You'll have to get off and ring for an ambulance, and go down to quarantine.”’ As soon es the car stopped the passengers made a rush for the door and the old lady he? it to herself. She began to enter a vigorous protest against being ejected, declaring that her pox was not so large, but it was too heavy to carry. It was not until she took how of the box that the conductor tumbled to the sit- uation. The lady and her small box were allowed to ride to the hospital without fur- ther question, 7 THE GOOD SAMARITAN. How She Made a Little» Newsboy Warm and Happy. [It was in the afternoon of one of those cold days in the early part of last week. Men with overcoats on kept them buttoned up tightly. The badies buried. their ears in oe himself to the home of the falr one, and lanted himself on the sofa for a three- urs’ tete-a-tete. But scarcely had the couple become seated en the telephone in the hall set up a ter- le chatter. The young lady answered it. “Hello!” said the voice at the other end, “Ia Mr. Jenkins there?’ “Yes, sir,” was the answer. “Will you please have him step to the phone?” “Wait a minute.” J. Percival complied and asked: “Who is this talking?” " “You know well enough who it i*«. Wh are you going to return that diamond st you borrowed from me la kk? ‘IT don’t know who you are, 3 Porcival. “I never borrowed anything ih my ife.”’ In about fifteen minutes the ‘phone ran again. The young lady answered the and a voice again asked: in midsumer they have four hours of sun- shine. The canyon is fifteen miles long. The railroad track is constantly under patrol that distance. A veteran among the track walkers is Pat Callahan. Falling rocks, drunken lumbermen and bears, he says, keep him and the rest busy. ‘‘And I have more trouble with the bears than the other things,”’ Pat says. ‘I’ve come 1 they | hear a thing. Those —— dogs are | face to face with bears walking along the track many and many atime. They seem to be stuck on wandering into the canyon from the three adjoining bear hunting counties and inspecting the ratiroad track. None of ‘em ever seemed to want to tackle me, but they always give me a good deal of trouble in getting them to leave the rail. I've had to flaw trains more than once ard call the train men to help me rid the track of ob- structing bears.”’ Moles Can Swim. Moles are expert swimmers.

I was treated by several doctors, and took numerous medicines claiming to cure the disease, but in- stead of being benefitted my condi- tion grew worse steadily. ‘The trouble became so deep-seated that I was entirely deaf in one ear. | It is difficult to describe my condition, but some idea of the ravages of the disease can be obtained when I state that all the inside of my nose, includ- ing part of the bone sloughed off. It can be readily understood how offen- sive all this was, and how unbearable my condition became. When the disease had gone this, far the physi- cian gave me up as ‘incurable, and told me I would never be any better. ‘‘Reading of many similar cases be- ing cured by S.8.S., I determined to try it as a lastresort. I soon discov- ered that all my former treatment had been wrong, as the disease was in the blood, and only a blood remedy could cure it.

In steal- ing the body, however, the negro driver had also come away with the coffin. which he had offered back to the undertaker at a re- duced figure.

The oppor- tunities afforded him to dispose of corpses were excellent, ‘but he now declares that he never shipped them outside of the State and occupied himself with the local trade, which he had a right to do under the lew. It is related by Charles Doepke of 2007 Cass avenue that when Henry Doepke, a brother of Ernst, died s'x years ago, the re- sired hody-dealer feared that some one had dug up the corpse and disposed of it. He grew nervous and could not rest night or day, owing to the belief that his brother’s body had been stolen and disposed of to etudents. Finally he obtained a permit and opened his brother’s grave. He Was no% satisfied with a look at his dead brother's c : ye ugh wet ly ye but removed the en- re Ld to see that the lower p ' body was still *here. ae a When Doepke’s mother died he exhibited similar uneasiness lest the body should have been stolen by ghcauls.

Both Came Here From New Orleans and the Darkey Roomed at Lemon’s House. George W. Lemon looked exceedingly sour yesterday afternoon as he marched back and forth in a narrow cell at the Fourth District Police Station. In the same enclosure was George Bailey, j They are jointly charged with having robbed the store of the A. Moll Grocer Co., 614 Franklin avenue, where Lemon was em- | ployed as a salesman. Both deny the'r | guilt. Lemon and the negro came here a year ago from New Orleans. Lemon. rented rooms for his family at 2607 Olive street, and Bailey slept at the house. Why this relationship should have existed between them they refuse to say. The negro has been employed in a barber shop on Olive street, east of Twentieth. For several weeks he had been going to Moll’s grocery with remarkable regubarity —so much so ‘that his presence became no- ticeable. Finally the proprietors became suspicious, for it was observed that he always made his purchases from Lemon. Saturday, about noon, while a big rush was in progress, Paul Moll saw the negro leaving the store with a well-filled basket, for the contents of which: he had not paid. A reporter saw the letter:and called upon Kittie Brown and asked her about the let- ter written by Mrs. Cosgrove. That was the first Kittie had known of the letter. She called Mrs. Cosgrove to the door of her room and oontu her face by several vicious raps. Mrs. Cosgrove’s face was poulticed at the City Dispensary, and Capt. O'Malley said he would arrest the opium smokers. BOY SHOT BY A BURGLAR. He Tackled Three Negro Intruders Single Handed.

Several visitors came out of one of the ‘ doors opening upon the front porch as I ap- proached the house, and I ‘recognized ma‘*ron, Mrs. Bulkley, a tall, commanding- looking lady, with one of the strongest, yet kindliest, faces I ever saw. ‘“! have come to spend the afternoon with the old ladies,”’ with me, “and find out how they are enjoy- ing (Christmas week.”’ “Well, we etjoy many kind remembrances which we receive from our friends, but this a period sadness to most of the ladies, who cannot he'ip remembering the holidays of the past when they were surrounded by their friends and families. the home by the illness and death of two of our most beloved inmates, and we have consequently not felt very hilarious this year,’ said Mrs. Bulkley, as she led the way into a cosey sitting room, which is her own personal apartment, but is used as much by the old ladies as the matron. It bad been two years since my last visit to the home, and I could notice a great many changes, especially as new wing has been added to the institu- tion during that time, *I had last visited the home during a festival of some kind, when the old ladies were receiving and en- tertaining thelr friends. Some one had asked for one of «he ladies who had not come from her room, and the matron sent up for her to come down. She sent word that she declines to do s0 without an escort, as she had not been in the habit of e@ttending entertainments alone. I found afterward that this was Mre. Hatch, one of the loveliest inmates of the home, and much beloved by ‘the matrons and the other inmates, for she had been helpless and dependent upon their care and attention for many years. She was one of the best known ladies in the home, her husband hav- jng been a'’man of prominence in this c:ty, » wand Mrs. Hatch herself having been a beauty of note, whose hospitaliiy during her years of health and prosperity was knows y far and wide. She occupied a room in the home for many years, Weing’ afflicted with softening of the bran in its least severe form, and while she was unable ‘o get about except In a chair which could be wheeled from one room to the other, she was so bright, patient, cheerful and childlike that every one in the home loved her dearly. The home has lost a dozen inmates durirg the past twelve months, Mrs. Hatch being one of them. In speaking of her Mrs. Bulkley said: *“T never ceased to mires her; she was likea sweet, confiding little child, and depended upon me so much, always calling me mother, and then she was so grateful and appreciative of any kindness or attention.’ I noticed that a number of the old ladies addressed the matron as “mother,”’ and seemed to love and depend upon her like children cling to the strong and judicious affection of a parent. After talking of come of the ladies I had met upon my last visit, who have since gone to their long home, the matron asked me if I would like to make a tour of the Home and call upon some of the ladies in their rooms. I accepted the invitation with pleasure, and found that each old lady occupied a room by herself, unless she was ill and needed the presence of a nurse or attendant. Kvery room is well furnished and scrupu- lously neat, the occupant of each apart- ment taking care of it, unless she is too feeble, in which case the housemaid does BO. The house is well adapted for its present urpose, the rooms all ight and well venti- ated, with long halls upon which they open, and porches which add greatly to the comfort and pleasure of the inmates in summer, The grounds are well kept and attractive, with pleasant: views on every side, and about the whole Home there was an absence of anything Hke the appearance of a public institution. One of the first ladies we visited was Mrs. Shannon, a little woman ‘hardly larger than a child. She was as neat as a pin in her dre*s, and took great pride in exhibiting her room, which was filled with pretty things, mementoea of friends and relatives. She owns a little dog, to which she is much devoted, and he is such a well trained and perfectly behaved member of the canine race that his presence is not considered ob. jectionable by her neighbors in the Home. “This is grandma,” said Mrs. Bulkley, en- tering a cheerful room on the first floor, and speaking to a little white-ha'red lady who reclined upon the bed looking quite feeblo. She opened her eyes the minute that the matron approached her and made some remark, and could see that she was very old and evidently not long for this world. This was Mrs, Hewett, the oldest inmate of the home. Our next visit was to see Mrs. Richardson, Who occupied a pretty room where she spends most of her time surrounded by birds and flowers, of both of which she is very fond. She showed me a portrait of a dear daughter whom she had lost, a young girl oi had evidently been her pride and darl- ar.

About a year ago the household was completely upset and the comfort of the inmates destroyed by the. strange | accorcing .to Miss Vaughan). and unladylike conduct of a woman who sought and’ gained entrance to the Home, She was dissatisfied with all she saw, and held herself above the inmates, saying that she would not sit at the same tabie with them and otherwise shocking and surpris- ing the gentle community,.whose members live like one loving and united family. Findlly the board succeeded in getting rid of her.

The meals are good, and the old ladies can all have a glass of. nice, rich, sweet milk to drink just before re- tiring, if they wish. I was delighted with all I saw, and hope soon to visit them again. Certainly a visit to this well or- dered, well kept Home for women who are alone in the world and not burdened with riches, might bring pleasure and profit to more than MAB, _ OLD NICK’S SIGNATURE. Violent Controversy as to Whether It Is Genuine or Not. Between the Cologne Volkszeitung, next to the Germania of Berlin, the leading Ro- man Catholic paper of Germany, and the Catholic Director Kunzle of Feldberg, in the Tyrol, a violent controversy is being carried on,according to Public Opinion,as to wheth- er a signature claimed to have been made by the devil can ever be accepted as gen- uine, Kunzle is the head of the Congrega- tion of Priests of Eternal Adoration, and is ‘the editor of a theological journal called Pelikan, devoted to the cultus of the Eucha- rist. He now,claims that the popular Col- ogne journal is untrue to Catholic teachings and traditions for denying that it is possible to secure a genuine signature of his Satanic majesty. The controversy was occasioned by a small ublication issued from the office of Peli- an anonymously, but evidently with the approval of Kunzle. It is entitled “Dis Ge- heimnisse de Holle nach Miss Vaughaa, von Dr. Michael Germanus” (The secrets tif hell According to this brochure the devil Vitru appearéd on Oct. 18, 1883, in a Freemasons’ hodge-rogm in Rome, and, 4ccompanied by prominent inem- bers of the lodge, such as Crispi, Lammi and others, he made public declaration; that Sophie Sapho, Who was then present, wpuld, on Sept. 29 following, give birth to’ the grandmother of the Antichrist. In testi- mony of these facts a document was then ami there drawn up and signed by those present, on which document the devil then and there present signed himself as “Sanc- tus Daemon Primarius Praeses" (first pre- siding holy demon). The signature of ‘tthe devil Vitru consists of a number af sym- bolical signs, indicative of his various at- tributes and works, such as a cock, a fire fork and the like. It is Kunzle’s conviction that it is his.duty to defend the genuine- ness of this devil's signature, because the teachings of the Roman Catholic casuists on the subject of morals admit the posa!- bility of an alliance with Satan, and main- tain that such a covenant can be made in writing. The Cologne Volkszeitung declares it sux perstition to, believe in the £Fenuineneas of such a signature, although acknowledging that it is possible for wicked men to form’ a compact with Satan. hunzle, however, | has been able to appeal In testimony of his orthodoxy to a decision of the Cardinal Congregation of the Penitents in Rome. which gives the priests the right tn hearing confession to absolve those guilty of the’ sin of worshiping the devil or of having formed an alliance with him, but in the jat- ter instance only the written documents of such an agreement have been handed over to the church authorities to be burned.

Mr. Glynn treasures both medals with great care and solicitude, for together they represent ten of the best years of his life spent in the Royal Army, as well as his participation in two of the most famous wars recorded in the world’s history. Mr. Glynn remained in the army several years after the campaign in India, but re- signed in i865 and returned to Liverpool. He remained there only a few months, how- ever, for decided to try his fortune in the new world. He landed at New York in May, 1866, and soon afterward came to St. Louis.

He was born rish parentage, in Liver- pool, England, : 839, and resided there un- til he was 16 years old During the Cr mean war, which broke out in 1854, England was hard pushed for sol- diers, and thousands of young men ant ys were enlisted. Anybody of the male /persuasion who was five feet four was }acceptable to the Queen’s officers, and, as Mr. Glynn at that time was five feet five, he was taken in withoyt a murmur, al- though only 16 years of age.

Stickney Cigar Co., and for several months has been in charge of the company’s stand at the La- clede Hotel. Though of Irish extraction, he was born and reared in England, and still retains a marked English accent. ; WHERE WE CATCH COLD. There Are Sensitive Spots on the Body Which Should be Protected.

He was laid up in the hospital for six weeks, but was finally able to rejoin his regiment, It was after the storming of Sebastopol that Mr. Glynn received his firs? medal and the clasp which goes with it to show that he was not only in the army but an active participant in the great batwe. This has long been a custom in connection with Her Majesty's army. After every great conflic? every soldier ts presented with a solid stiver medal] as a souvenir.

The acute discomfort and the sense of impending die- aster, which result from the steady play of a current of cold air upon the neck from behind are well known. The necessity of keeping the abdomen warmly clad is also generally carried into practice.

A piano, as most people know, is about the heaviest and clumsiest object in the workd to handle. Here is a gentleman who carries about an ordinary upright piano with ease, keeping t-me to @ quick march, which is played by a man riding upon it. This p.cturesque feat is the latest addition to the repertoire of G. W. Rolandcw, a champion strong man. The accompanying illustrations are reproduced from _ old photographs, taken while'the feat was being A RAILROAD BUILT TO TAKE HER TO A DANCE. —————— —_ Walden’s Ridge. Up there distilling moon- shine whisky is esteemed a reputable and praiseworthy occupation. Iv is the revenue officers who are consid- ered disreputable intruders spies and ene- mies of the common weal, The moon- shiners have no respect for the law or its officers, but they are in fear of them and so they work in secret, inaccess.ble places, and they have watchers out to warn them of she approach of officers. Mrs. Mullins does not make moonshine, but she sells the stuff, which is only es- teemed a degree lower in the list of of- fenses which comes under the ban of the law. The revenue officers are aware of her illicit business, but they are powerless to stop it or arrest her. They may confisca‘e and destroy her scanty stock of wet goods, but she can lay in a new supply next day and the officers cannot put in all their tume seizing ‘her stock. Mrs. Mullins’ immunity les in her hefti- ness. No prisoner can be forced to walk to jail. Resistance may be duly met with re- sistance, and besides it constitutes an of- fense at law. But mere inertia does not. A tnan may tell his captors to take him to jail. e is not compelled to walk there. This is where Mrs. Mullins is strong. There are difficulties about forcibly carrying 600 pounds of flesh to jail. There are even legal difficulties besides the physical one. Mrs. Mullins has grown fat inside her house. She got fat after it was built, and the door would not admit of her passing through if she were not half so big. The only way to get her out would be to tear out a section of the wall. The officers who arrested her were not disposed to decide the legal point involved as to their right to demolish a house to get a prisoner out of it. They returned to Knoxville for instructions, but their su- yerior officeygs were equally at sea, as the lé@w ooks contained no precedent. But Mrs. Mullins grew lonesome, and when a dance was announced at Sneedville, a short distance down the mountain, she made up her mind to go. How to get there was the question, She could not walk nor ride a horse nor any ordinary conveyance. Her neighbors went to the rescue. up a sort of miniafure railway, composed of a stout and roomy truck to be operated by a windlass and a stout rope. On the eventful evening a section of the wall was taken @own, and Mrs. Mullins emerged from her home to take a look at They rigged | performed in a piano factory in New York. The piano which Rolandow carried about so readily weighs 630 pounds, The musc an for this remarkable recital is Rolandaw’s trainer; his name is W. H. Titus, and he we'ghs 135 pounds, making a total of 765 pounds. The strong man is ready to wager that he can carry this burden the length of a New York block. Rolandow ‘has been training in the sever- est manner for the last four months to per- form this feat. , To begin with, he is probably the strongest man in the world. His chest measurement is 49 inches, and he can expand it to 638 inches. He is 5 feet 9% inches in height and weighs 195 pounds when trained. These measurements and those of other details of his muscular development are greater in the average than those of Sandow and of other famous strong men. Rolandow raises and carries about the heavy pidno without apparently making any special effort. In the tests made the piano was carried twice about the room, which was a large one. The instrument used was taken at random from the stock, It re- quired four men who were experienced piano movers to carry the piano to the room where the trial was to be made, and these men puffed and strained and grew red in the face, as ordinary piano movers usually do. Mr. Titus, who is the one who usually enjoys the piano rides on Rolandow’s shoul- ders, then took his place before the keys on a seat attached to the piano, and began to play a spirited march. Rolandow, clad in tights and decorated with several medals, took his place in front of the piano with his back to it. Two handles were fastened to the piano, one at an upper @orner, the other at the lower opposite cornere This grip en- ables the athlete to br.ng into play a great- er number of muscles than if both hands grasped either the top or the bottom, as expressmen, for instance, carry heavy trunks. Planting his feet firmly Rolandow grasped his burden and slowly raised it. The great muscles of his legs, arms and chest swelled under the weight, but they were easily equal to the task. The piano, the musician and the music were raised slowly upward. When the bottom of the ‘piano had reached a height of nearly three feet from ee gresne the weight was prop- erly distributed over the brawny frame of den ‘ii Mb iii Hi Risiily j { — ~~ G. W.

She managed to walk to the car, and then, amid the cheers of the assembled merry- makers, she Was succeasfully lowered down the mountain ekle by easy stares. The old lady was not able to dance, but she had a great time looking on and en- yed the function hugely. The men who ad to pull her up the mountain later on had a hard time of it. It took the traditional long pull, strong pull and a pull altogether, but they got her home all right. Then the house was walled up again, so the revenue Officers could not take advantage of the opening otherw'se afforded them. Great Drunkards. The question as to whether great men are ever drunkards must be answered in the affirmative, though argument is frequently made to the contrery. Cato was a hard drinker, while, in the language of one writer, oki Ben Jonson was constantly, “nickied."" The poet Savage used to go on © hardest kind of “tears,” and Rogers ob- eerved, after seeing his own etatue, “It is the first time I have seen him stand straight for many years.” Byron saya of Porson, ‘the greaa l scholar, “I can never rec. ollect him except as drunk, or brutal, and enerally both.” Kats was on @ spree once t ldsted six mo Horace, Plato, Aris- , Buripides, Aloaeus, Socrates on coe , at ‘he strong man, and he walked off with it. His step, even under this enormous pressure, was aceeeenvely light. Then began the peripatetic plano recital. Twice around the room Rolandow walked before he deposited his burden. Then, by way of relaxation, Rolandow insisted on lifting a few more heavy objects, just to show tha® he didn't feel at all tired. Teaching Vanderbilt Pere a Lesson. Of the late William H.

THE SANGUINARY PATH WHICH LED A KENTUCKY GIRL TO MARRIAGE. There is a story of love and crime, which has been told in fragments at irregular in- tervals in the daily papers. But in these days of rapid daily dissemination of news from all over the world, the reader does not connect the report of a murder here and a Suicide there, and an assault soomewhere else, and connect the principals in each as the dramatis personae of one life’s true story—unless indeed the principals are peo- ple of national fame. Hence this story as a whole has not been told, and it is only in its entirety that it rises above the daily grist of crime annals. The central figure igs Miss Pearl Crouch, formerly of Bourbon County, Kentucky. She is about to achieve matrimony through a succession of sanguinary crimes, includ- ing the tragic death of her father at the hands of ther first lover, who was in turn slain, the arrest of her brothers for the crime, and the attempted murder of herself by her second lover, who thereupon attempt- ed to kill himself, If any author of vellow back novels thad brought his heraine through such a sea of blood to the matri- monial altar, his story would have been stamped as highly improbable. Nevertheless this story is true, and it serves to prove the time-worn adage that “truth is stranger than fiction.”’ Miss Crouch, when she lived in Bourbon County, loved John Powers, and engaged herself to him despite the opposition of her father. Powers was forbidden the house, and, as might have been expected, the lovers met clandestinely. One day the old man surprised them, and, drawing his pis- tol, advanced on Powers. Powers was quicker on the draw than the old man, and his pistol barked first. Crouch fell with a bullet in his groin. Powers helped the wounded man to his house and then left. This attempt on her father’s life did not serve to divert Miss Crouch’s affections, and as soon as her father seemed to be on the road to recovery, she consented to an elopement to. Aberdeen, O., the Gretna Green of Central Kentucky lovers. It is believed that the bedridden father heard of their plans and détermined to thwart them. Powers never lived to reach the trysting place. His dead body was found near there, riddled with buckshot. It was dressed for the wedding, even to the gloves. Crouch’s two sons were errested on sus- picion. The excitement incident to the murder, and the arrest of the boys, threw Crouch into a fever, which, complicated by THE CHAMPION. GIRL COWBOY. MISS BESSIE HILL OF SOUTH DA- KOTA NOT ONLY BREAKS BRON- CHOS BUT WILD STEERS. } One of the most noted of the Intrepid Dakota girls who reside in the great cattle country west of the Missouri River,is Miss Bessie Hill, the postmistress at Leon, Stan- ley County, 8. D. Miss Hill not only attends to her duties as postmistress in that wild region, but does a great deal of riding after her father’s stock, pulls cattle out of the mire by a rope attached to the horn of her saddle, brands calves, breaks broncos, and is con- sidered one of the best “cow hands” between the Missouri River and the Black Hills. Miss Hill uses the usual cowboy saddle, and wears divided skirts, sombrero and gauntlet gloves. She is an expert with a lasso and a crack shot with rifle and revolver. One of her favorite diversions is to lasso a wild Texas steer, saddle and bridle him, mount upon his back and turn him loose upon ‘the prairie. She says that these animals are as easily subdued as the average bronco. This daring young wo- man is 16 years of age, tall arid handsome, with unusually pleasant Manners, and no one from casual observation would imagine for a moment that she possesses so much ‘‘nerve’ and reckless courage. She frequently rides her favorite horses without saddle or bridle, guiding them by words or a touch of the quirt.on the side of the neck. This habit came near bringing her to grief one day last summer. She had been training her favorite colt, Lightfoot, to ride without the customary accoutrements, and wishing to corral a-bunch of horses she sprang upon his back, without stopping to bridle him, and dashed after them. The horses she ran through an open gate into a field inclosed by a high barb-wire fence. By this time Lightfoot oe become to excited from the brisk run as to’ be absolutely ‘un- manageable, and he made straight for the fence at his topmost speed. . For a moment it seemed that horse and rider must become entangled in the barb- wire and be mutilated, but just as the anl- mal reached the fence it made a, gigantic bound and cleared the obstruction. She suc- ceeded in calm‘ng him as her brother and parents hastened to the scene. They bégged her not ride the colt again, but her ‘blood was up,”’ and she now declared that-she would drive in the horses with Lightfoot just as he was wr die in the attempt. Strik- ing him a sharp blow with the quirt, she again flew after them, and this time she succeeded in landing them safely inside the ,corral, GRANT BRAMBLE’S WONDERFUL ENGINE.| : DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WHICH MADE~A POOR TELE- GRAPH OPERATOR WEALTHY. Sleepy Eye, Minn., would be handily an ap- propriate name for a town which turns out inventors like Grant Bramble, who, from a poor telegraph operator, becomes a multi- millionaire at a bound, But Sleepy Eye did not produce Mr. Bramble. He is an English- man by birth, but it was at Sleepy Eye he perfected his invention of the rotary engine, which has brought him fame and millions. Inventors seldom reap large profits from their inventions. Too often they are too poor to promote their own inventions. Often they fall to impress any one with the value of them, and if they do, it is the promoter who makes all the profit. Edison is an ex- ception, but his inventions, like Bramble’s, offered svich vast possibilities that he was in a position to dictate terms, The Post-Dispatch has told how Bramble sold patent rights for the enormous sum of $7,000,000, and still he has some countries un- sold, from the sale of which he is likely to derive still more millions. Inventors are born, not made. Bramble as a boy shoveled coal into an engine fur- nace ao yd eS simply for the opportunity it afforded of studying the engine, He had heard a chance remark that if a en- gine could be devised which would work on the steam-expansion principle, just as in the ordinary engine of eT ee use, with auto. matic cut-off, it would be worth far more than anything which had ever been devised. He made the invention of such an engine the aim and study of his life He has suc- ceeded. But like many other inventors he reached the culmination of his-.efforts partly by ac- cident, it ig said. He knew that a turbine water wheel had a me quick motion and great power when supplied with water. But as steam had principles that water did mot contain, and was also quicker in action, it followed that a rotary steam engine must be constructed upon a principle adapted to steam action, gas or air. These facts demonstrated, he constructed a wheel with three indented pockets in its outer surface, and a base shell and side plates. This worked very nicely when once in motion, with a counter-balance wheel, but did not have expansion of steam nor could Mr. Bramble see how it could be devised until fortune favored him by a mishap. One dayhe accidentally let fall the shell of the wheel. This struck on another piece ef iron and the result was a small piece chipped off the shell. Money was a very scarce article in those days, and the in- ventor could ill afford the expense of a new wheel. So he placed the wheel together again, and when steam was turned. on, found that. the purpose of his life had @been accom- 4 ’ * é ‘4 i/ , . ’ Ree 14 . sy ‘ , Ya - - . , 7 , AAS Athy - 54 A, * lpitess, “She is the fifteenth wife of Qwo-Ka- Num,’ said the guide. “Her ancient husband had ovigently outlived vhe love of the varie- ties of life, for nothing in his surroundings betokened his rank, He, was lying doubled up, like a jack-knife, in A heap of hot sand. A fold of a blanket was thrown over him, and,a torn and dirty shirt partly covered his body. That was all—surely a strange garb for celebrated a chief! “He presented an awful picture of age. His face was turned upward directly at we sun, The sun gave him life, but no sigha se was blind. A shaggy mane of irom gray hair covered his head. The balls of his eyes had sunken in the sockets. His body seemed shrunken to bones, over which was streteh- ed a skin. The feet and hands looked like knot-growths, such as are seen on old oaks. His hands and feet were veritable claws.

That more ' po Num is st least wh pears oi” plished by that little mishap, which had revealed to him the principle of the appli- cation of the expansion of steam to his in- vention. The next step was to construct the automatic cut-off, so as to shut off the steam when it was not required in its full stroke to reverse, compound and take up the ordinary wear and tear. In other words, it must be steam-tight. All these things were finally accomplished and the consummation of the big deal that resulted in the sale to the English syndi- cate is the last act in a wonderfully in- teresting drama of mechanics. The engine consists of a standard shell ring, side plates and piston rotating plung- er, having three or more ented pockets or pers and another set of parts in the shell. When steam is admitt to the t it causes a pressure on the shell and on the plunger, and starts the plunger re- volving. After the part in the plunger a aan nea he sents 4 steam off en- es the steam ex on un- til exhaust commences. , —s Then the other part ens and admits steam again, and keeps it in motion. The steam packing is formed of oil and con- densed steam that fil] the small grooves in the plates and plunger sides. The lubrica- tion ig furnished by cups in ring oilers. The wear and general tear of parts are taken Up by the bolts that hold the parts together, all being made slightly wed¢- ne. The throttle is used to start and stop, to reverse and control the steam feed, speed being regulated by the indicator at the bot- tom. Compounding is accomplished by lead- ing the exhaust of the first to the second feed through oe. duct in the shell to a Bec-"} ond part, and thirdly by the same manner to triple it A DUKE OF EIGHT.

The most infportant question at the pres- ent time among the dressy people of society is what is suitable, proper, and becoming to the debutante? Indeed these young persons take up so much time and attention that the girl who has been introdiced a season or two begins to feel as if she was laid upon the shelf. A young miss of fifteen, the daughter of a prominent professional gentleman of this city, is very precocious both in her studies and otherwise, and is expecting to graduate »anid make her bow to society in the course of another year She has a sister just turn- ed eighteen who made her bow to society about six months ago, and the fifteen year old girl informed her recently that “she hoped she would at least become engaged in the next six months as it is so.disagree- able to have an eld maid sister going out with a debutante.’’ But to return to the question of the de- butante’s wariirobe. This is just as import- ant as the outfit of the bride elect. She must first have a street costume, one not too elaborate for a morning walk, or a luncheon if necessary. It is better to have a rough cheviot for ordinary outings, made very simply by a tailor if the girl’s means will justify the outlay. The gown for luncheons and afternoon re- ceptions, as well as street wear, can be made of blue cloth, smooth-faced goods be- ing the latest and most stylish fabric for such occasions. The skirt should be gored, flaring about the bottom, without trimming, while the waist should be cut like a jacket, tight-fitting and braided in military fash- jon in thlack. If the debutante has a fresh and delicate complexion gray fur is becom- ing, and makes a striking addition to a costume of blue cloth, Red is appropriate for debutantes’ gowns, but ft is generally toned down with black braid ‘wr satin. A very pretty skirt of rough and ready goods had the skirt slit at each seam six or eight inches above the hem and V-shaped pieces’of black satin inserted. A broad bias belt of black satin was worn with this skirt, and the bolero fronts open- ed over ea vest of black satin. I have geen one ce two pretty suits of pale gray cloth, the skirt being perfectly plain, with a short braided jacket, gray furs and a gray felt hat with ostrich tips completing the outfit. One of the latest bolero jackets was slit in the back and laced with gold and brown cord, Round waists are much used for young girls, one of the most unique shapes have seen being made of white satin, with a jacket effect in front, with narrow revers opening over a full front of gauze studded with pearls. The revers were embroidered with pearls and silver, and ended in a point at the tip of the sleeves. The sleeves were butterfly puffs, with a puff of uze between, the most noticeable point o the costume being the under- sleeve of gauze, shirred and fitted tight to the arm, and*:coming down over the hands like mitts. The most fashionable round cut evening Waist comes quite off the shoulders and is more popular than the square cut gown. Although white is the color of the debu- ‘tante, pale yellow, pink and blue are con- sidered admissible if they are more becom- ing. A beautiful evening cown made for a wealthy young debutante who will ap- — in it soon and doubtless enslave the earts of all the young men who see her. is of white’ satin, completely covered with @ soft drapery of embroidered lisse. A spray of wild roses in shades of yellow caught up the lisse about the hem. while a longer spray climbed from the left side to the waist, which is to be circled by a band of whité satin, tied at the back in a big bow with sash ends. The sleeves are formed of large bows of satin, a bouquet of the yellow roses being fastened upon one shoulder with a trail of the buds and leaves crossing the front of the bodice. | Saw several beautiful models in blue and Piak which would be pretty for bride- m@.ds’ %owns, but this is enough for the present from atid ° HOT WATER AS A BEAUTIFIER. Wine and Other Strong Drinks Are the Greatest Beauty Destroyers. Care in the selection of diet is imperative upon those women who desire to preserve a clear and beautiful complexion. Alcoholic beverages are the greatest of all destroyers of beauty. Pven a moderate or occasional indulgence congests the blood vessels of the face and creates a roughness of the skin that cannot be eradicated. The women who —— A A ne take a glass of wine with their dinner and a glass of whisky and water at night oc- casionally when they feel cold or out of sorts soon find that their noses are becom- ing ted at the end and that their cheek- bones have an unpleasant floridity, which may be traced entirely to the small quanti- ties of Liquor they consume. All alcoholic drinks are death to the complexion. A blunt physician said the other day to a society woman who confessed that she took a glass of whisky and water as a sleeping draught as a regular thi **Leave out the water and your face will soon be rple.”’ Other things that are bad for the com- plexion are opiates, narcotics, sleeping draughts, strong tea and coffee and any- thing that tends to heat the blood. Hot blood means an inflamed countenance, and this many times repeated may make the inflammation permanent. It is a simple fact in physiological science that any wo- man should understand, and would if she stopped to think. If the sensible woman will use a little self- denial and substitute plain hot water for the other stronger drin She will soon be- come used to it and her complexion will praise her every time she looks in the mir- ror. With regard to the general health, it ts a recognized principle that different tempera- ments require different treatment. A silen- der, bilious brunette, with thin blood, may eat underdone beef, gravies, and plenty of butter, but the blonde, who is predisposed to scrofula and has a florid complexion, ‘must restrict herself to eggs, milk, bread, Heht broths ahd fruit. One of the eatest improvers of digestion, and, therefore, of the complexion, is fruit. It should be eaten plentifully whenever it can be procured fregh. tale fruit should not be tolerated for a moment. It is poison.

It was this velvet, moreover, which added one of the most chic touches to ‘the cos- tumie. A crescent of velvet ornamented the bodice in front, which was still further en- livened by a white satin bow. The combina- tion was no less ene A than becoming.

THE GIRL BACHELOR. The One Who Keeps House Is Not an Object of Sympathy. There is no occasion to commiserate the condition of the gir bachelors who keep house. They do not want it, but are rather to be envied. This is a matter of wonder to those who worry about women going into trade on tfe ground that it will destroy their love of home, Un the contrary, it de- velops it. The woman who is forced to earn her living and resents it seeks the consola- tion of a boarding-house. The real girl bachelor, at least the sort with whom I have come most in contact, is not a dis- gruntied person who has known better days and always takes pains to remind you of it. She is a healthy, hearty being, who wants, to be sure, to help out the family income, to relieve her father of at least one of his burdens. But she is, more than any- thing else, an actual homemaker and a housekeeper. It is the girl bachelor who loves children and is not ashamed to say so. The girl bachelor who lives not unto herself, but to all the world, because no visitor is so un- | welcome that he may not have a cup of tea and a cracker, be his visit ne'er so wun- timely. It is the girl bachelor who does not apologize for dust nor care a rap for what the neighbors think nor hope to mar- | with this Parisian costume.

Il have a scheme for the moral reforma- tion of mankind which cannot fail to be successful if the reformers and truiy gocd people of the land will only give it their co-operation. It is suggested by the bill introduced into the Alabama Legislature by Representative Timberlake, prohibiting the wearing by la- dies of bloomers, tights, divided skirts or shirt waists or any other costume calculat- ed to display their physical charms to the greatest advantage. This is a step in the right direction. It is to be deplored that certain ungodly newspapers are having fun with Mr. Tim- berlake and ‘his bill. ‘Whe truly good of the Anthony Comstock cult have really been aiming to mchieve these reforms this long time, but, unlike Mr. Timberlake, they have not had the full courage of their convic- tions. The truth is that Nature committed a grievous error in endowing man—male and female, but especially female—with legs at all. Except as a meins of locomotion, of what use are legs, save to be displayed, clad in vile tights on the stage or pre- served in siatuary and on canvas by wicked art'sts, who would be much better employed in some holier and more useful occupation? I could say more legitimate occupation, but that pun is so tired it has hardly a leg left to stand on. (N. B.—If the wicked ar- tists must have calves to paint, why not take the future cow for a model?) The strict constructionist might contend that it is sinful to charge nature with mak- ing mistakes, but she does make them, and corrects them too. The progenitors of the whale of commerce once Sart feet, but being unable to walk on the water nature recog- nized the error, and by degrees, tn succes- sive generations;-tmoditied them into fins. The horse once had five legs, but as the animal hac wo more use for a fifth lege than the fifth wheel, nature kindly removed the extrane- ous limb. In the same way fishes which resided in caves, and had no more use for eyes than a blind begwar, who, indeed,would otherwise be unable to see his way clear to making a living, had them removed by nature, with- out pain, the use of a knife or opiates. If it be conceded, then, that legs are im- moral, the truly good should be willing to lend thelr co-operation to a plan to abol- ish them. It can be done along strictly scientifi©C Ines, The whale lost its legs b not using them. So with the fifth leg of the horse, and the eyes of the cave fish. Scientific sharps tell us that if we should bind ovr right arm to our side, and never use it, continuing this t on our progeny from infancy, he tary atrophy would set in, and the ™m would eventually disappear or ex- ietronly In rudimentary form, in future gen- rations Now my plan is that we moral reformers all get together and refuse to exercise our legs, on any pretext whatever, for the rest of our lives. Just sit around and do nothing, and bring.up our children in the same way. in a few hundred years at most we shall be a leglesg and highly moral race. I have spoken to my friends, Mr. N. Everwork and Mr. Everett Rest, about this colossal pro- ect to reform a degenerate race, and I have een greatly encouraged by their enthusi- astic indorsement of it. They are willing to begin the good work right off. q.A. W. HASH! —— Freddy is 7 years old. One morning he and father, eating hash. I*reddy had left a small portion of his hash remaining upon his plate, whereupon the following dialogue occurred: ‘Don’t you Hke the hash, dear?’’ “Yes, mamma, but I’ve got enough.”’ ‘Don’t talk that way, Freddy,’’ ventured his father, a technical sort of a pessimistic erank. ‘You should say you have a suffi- cient quantity.” Freddy was surprised.

To int master’s music demands training perfect and severe, It demands that the singer shall be as perfect in his or her art as the limitations imposed by natu admit of. That means that the must have absolute command of his or her voice. Given such conditions, there need be no fear of injuring the vo.ce or of suffering more fatigue than should be expected after hours of hard physical and intellectual work, to say nothing of the emotional strain in- cidental to any artistic effort At this mo- ment, for example, I ‘have just returned from singing the most trying part-I know— that of Siegfried. And I certainly do not feel sufficient fatigue to interfere with my en- joyment of affairs outside the Metropolitan era-house, But this is a groposition which hardly needs demonstration.

But the strain on the voice and the physique which it involves has been absurdly exaggerated.

EDOUARD DE RESZKE. ——— ~~ MANAGER GRAU FROM THE BOX OF- FICE STANDPOINT. Considered from the box office standpoint alone, Wagner’s operas leave nothing to be desired. The public of America has learned to look upon them as an advanced form of art, and not alone the size, but the intelli- gence, and the earnestly critical attitude of the audiences which greet the productions of Wagner's works testify to more eloquently than any words of mine could. Yes; Wagner is popular in New York—immensely so. The Wagner cult here is no fad. “ It has been pointed out in opposition to that ngage f that at the Met- ropolitan Opera-house there are more OP- eras of other composers presented than there are operas of Wagner's. But a mo- ment’s consideration will show that the preponderance is really in Wagner's favor. Wagener wrote only ten operas, I believe, and we are giving productions to four of them here this season. Verdi wrote from sixty to a hundred, and how many of his operas do you suppose will be presented “pt 4, a i oa *t P ‘ If ? ad A. sf 2 ‘si . f £ } ; s* * “ss . ‘ RICHARD WAGNER. —__ defend ‘their cult.

He stands alone—the master whom many have striven to imitate, but who never once permitted himself to borrow an idea from another. Wagner’s music stands above considerations of country and period. It is the music not alone of the future, but of the present, and not alone of the present, but of all time. It is universal and all embracing. It inter- prets all human emotion, all passion.

We knew that only by learning that language could we qualify ourselves to interpret the master’s works. Even in. France and Italy now they insist upon having Wagner’s operas pre- sented in German. The amount of study demanded by Wag- ner is prodigious, Jean and I, for example, devoted nearly a year and a half to the close and laborious study of “‘Siegfried’’ be- fore we ventured to appear in that opera. during the season? Not more than four. Meyerbeer was also very prolific, but only two of his works will be given as against Wagner's four. Are not those facts signifi- cant of Wagner’s popularity in New York? MAURICE GRAU, “WITHOUT WAGNER NO OPERA,” SAYS DAMROSCH, Modern opera could not exist without Wagner. His works are an absolute es- sential to the success of any season. Look at the audiences and be convinced. But these wonderful works must needs be magni- ficently presented. They demand it.. The most consummate art must be brought to bear on their interpretation.

The most famous woman patriot in St. Louis is Mrs. Helene Fuchs, who lives with her daughter, Mrs:.Lima Vogeler, at 2739 Russell avenue. ; Mrs. Fuchs was born in Reyburn-by-the Rhine, in Germany, 8 years ago. She early displayed a talent for embroid- ery, and her two famous pictures (done in silk), “The Watch on the Rhine,”’ owned by her granddaughter, Mrs. Dr. Hopkins, 1007 North Grand avenue, and ‘‘Rock of Ages,” which Mrs. Vogeler has, are worth over $1,- officer for the State of Missouri. Adter the war he was City Register for seven years, and was nine years in the stamp department of the Post Office. He was one of the A. R. He died in 1879, while still serving in the Post Office. : Mrs. Fuchs tells many thrilling incidents of her life, both in Germany and America. She was in Germany durihg the time of the revolution, and though she was a stanch ad- herent of old King Wilhelm, her brother and many of her neighbors, including Gen. Sig- el] and Gerl Schurz, were in the rebellion over there, and had to flee to America. She and her husband came to the City of New York in 1852, and invested all their money (about $207,000) in a business there.

Mrs. Fuchs lived and kept shop there for fourteen years. She did all of the embroid- ery for Gen. Grant's family and his wife's folks, the Dents. When the war came on ahe was given the first orders for flags. She made all of the Illinois and Missouri flags, and hundreds for other States.She made the flags for the Home Guard, of which her hus- band was a member, and the first flags that went. to Camp Jackson. The first war flag she made was given to Gen. Sigel, who was Gen. Lyon’s body guard, and at Pea Ridge, where Gen. Lyon was killed, Gen. Sigel lost the flag. Gen. Sigel, who is now living in New York, still remembers this incident. The compantes enlisted for three months the first time ,and at the expiration of that time all of the companies that re-enlisted were givena flag that Mrs. Fuchs had made. She made the shoulder straps and the orna- ments for the caps and the epaulettes for the officers and some of them were very fine. Capt.

There were many Sou*hern sympathizers in St. Louis and they often threatened to tear her ‘house down, or burn her out, but she, with her tired help, worked hard ev- ery day and every other night all night, for the orders poured in thick and fast. EKach evening she had to take the flags in her apron and hide them down on Fifth street from the minute men who threaten- ed to burn them. On the day of the capture of Camp Jack- son some Southern ladies came to her place and seeing the Union flags on her tables, they wanted to spit on them, and throw them in the river. Mrs. Fuchs said to them: “You were born under this flag and you want to throw it in the Mississippi, but I learned to love’ the American flag when I was a school girl in Germany, where my heart was thrilled by reading about the brave tiful flag so well.” One morning When she was hard at work a tailor came in and said: “Be careful, Mrs, Fuchs, for I have just “1h |i v rs EZ yy. i | MRS, HELENE FUCHS. _— —_— overheard a plot to burn your house down because you make the Union “= — . few minutes,” —_ > by wane, “a mob, headed by the Dp of a troopers’ boat, came, and they abused and cursed me awfully.

A Trial Lesson, of course, is beneficial to a certain extent, But the thing that really ought to be done, how. ever, and that promptly, is to enroll as a member of the class. Practical lessons are . offered in any branch, three months for $8 only. You want to understand some one branch: The Home University can teach rou by mail and there is no doubt of it.What hundreds of others are doing successfully, you can do. In this day and age there is nothing more important than education and $3 invested now will produce results worth in the end what cannot be estimated. You will require, of course, a good Text- book also Syllabus and Home Study Guide, You may have the right book; if not the cost is trifling. Most students who enroll seem to understand very well the necessity of hav- ing a text-book, but a few persons do nat. If you want to know all about how we teach by mail before enrolling as a student, send 25c for a Home Study Guide, which explains everything in detail. Special attention is called to the lesson in letter writing. There is not anything more important than to be able to write a good letter. The value of this knowledge is set forth in the form of aphorisms. “Writing maketh an exact man."’ correspond. It is the Paper Age in which we live, and written words are more effectual than spoken, Learn by writing letters to make a sheet of paper convey your exact thoughts. Then the world will have need for you. Most persons are more expressive with tongue than with pen. To-day the world’s business is done on paper, and those who would succeed must learn how to make their pens talk. The truest friendship does not depend upon sight, touch or hearing, but often lives in letters, by which. it has been both kindled and nourished. These afford a more spirit- ual communication, revealing the highest elements of character in clearer light. ae letter, like a poem, is gifted with a soul, The perfect painter causes his brush to tell the truth about nature. The accomplished writer can make a letter to his absent friend tell the truth about his own thoughts. Most letters speak falsehoods. That is be- cause their authors have not learned the art of weighing words, and measuring their ef- fect when written. In America alone, millions of letters are written every day. In no civilized country is there a person ast 10 who does not occasionally write a etter or suffer loss. If you can waite a good letter, the cholc- est positions are at your command. A poor letter is a short lever, ineffectual to pry open the gates of fortune. The letter you write is a message to your king; by it he judges your worth, whether you shall stand in the place of honor.
