WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16.—At the in- etance of the State Departrrent the Secre- tary of the Navy has ordered the gunboat Machias to Bangkok, the capital of Siam, and she has sailed already from Canion, China, for that place. She will stop on the way at Hong Kong only long enough to take on a supply of coal. The mission of the ship, according to the records of the Navy Department, is “To protect American interests,’’ but the more definite reason for the trip is to afford Mr. Barrett, the United States Minister and Con- eul General et Bangkok moral support in certain representations he has made to the Siamese government in respect to the treat- ment of Mr. Edward V. Kellett, the Vice- Consul General there. Mr. Kellett became involved in trouble of some sort with the Siamese officials and, although the State Department affords no information on the subject, it is gathered he has been ill treated and subjected to assault by Siamese solders, It is believed that the affair grows out of the old Cheek claim, which has been the subject of correspondence between the State Department and the Siamese Government for several years. Cheek was an American who left a large estate, including plantations and elephants, in Siam, but the Siamese officials objected to the heirs taking posses- sion and the property has been in litigation. The Siamese officials learned some time ago that some of the elephants on the property were being sold off, and as Mr. Kellett was connected with the movement he suffered from their resentment. While Vice-Consul General at Bangkok Mr. Kellett is not a salaried official and is believed to be engaged in private business, which perhaps has in- volved him in his present trouble. It is not believed that any conflict will @rise over this affair, but it is deemed best to have a warship at Bangkok according to the suggestion of Minister Barrett to afford him moral support, and remind the Siamese that there is such a country as the United States, inasmuch as they have not geen our flag on a man of war for the last Give years. The distance from Canton to Bangkok is about 1,500 miles, and as the Machias must stop at Hong Kong for a day or two she probably will take a week for the trip. TREASURE IN AN OLD HOUSE. Building Was Bought for Kindling Wood by a Judge. @pecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Potted gold coins, @reenbacks stuffed in an old stocking and @mall change in bottles are among the treas- Ures being found at the site of the historic Village of Katonah, N. Y. The former residents, who hauled their homes away on wheels to another site a Mile distant, are excited over the discov- eries and relic seekers are hastening to the scene. Part of an Indian skeleton and $915 in ©ash constitute the treasure thus far un- earthed, and the oldest inhabitant says there ts much more. The village was recently condemned by the New York Watershed Commissioners, as the fand was wanted as an addition to the watershed. Some of the old buildings are Hot considered worth removing. One of these was purohased for kindling wood by Sudge Avery, the price being $20. In tearing down the house yesterday a roll of bills containing $665 was found stuffed into a stocking hidden between ea couple of fafters. Digging under the floor, the work- men found an iron pot which yielded $200 In @old coin. Further search failed to reveal any more hidden wealth. PROBE TO THE BOTTOM.

The Russian Government Is Making a Cruel Crusade Against the Nu- merous Followers of Tolstoi. ——— NEW YORK, Jan. 16—The Evening Post's London cablegram to-day says: The spread of Tolstol among the edu- cated and professional classes of Russia has led to a aspifited state of crusade against the Tolstoists. In some villages one out of every ten inhabitants is an avowed Tolsto!st, and there are many more secret adherents. A notable acces- sion to the cause is Prince Pimitry Chil- kof. The houses of suspected persons are be- ing searched, Tolstol’s works are confis- cated and the owners are entered In the police’ black-book. Some active Tolstoists have mysteriougly disappeared from Pavlo- ka, and it is feared that they have been sent to Gideria. Others have had their chil- taken from them. It is stated a x & 2 ‘ ‘ ey age the Council of State has considered the question of Tolstoi’s expulsion, and only refrains lest an attack on 80 great an authority and thinker should rally new forces to his side. THEY CRAVE WORK. An Effort Being Made to Keep Sing Sing Convicts Busy. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Genator J. Irving Burns of Yonkers has a bill drafted by Warden Sage of Sing Sing prison which provides for an appropriation of $50,000 from the prison fund. It is the intention of the warden to use this sum, should the bill become a law, in the construction of the new administration building. The War. den says that he hopes the bill will go throtgh the Legislature withcut delay, and that he will be able to give work to more than. 300 convicts. Notwithstanding the close confinement of the men they have been rivaling each other in good conduct, #o that they will get preference in case work le provided. t | DLNEY CANNOT PUT IT THROUGH ———— THE ANGLO-AMERICAN ARBITRA- TION TREATY DOOMED. SENATE WILL NOT PASS IT. A Poll of That Body Shows the Two- Thirds Vote Is Not Obtainable. — —— Special to,the Post-Dispatch. . NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Thé,Journal prints the following special from Washington: The Anglo-American arbitration treaty re- cently concluded by Secretary Olney with Sir Julian Pauncefote and Lord Salisbury will never pass the United States Senate. A poll of the members of the Senate shows the futility of the administration attempting to force the treaty through that body. Only 16 members favor the immediate rat- ification of the instrument as negotiated, and it is not certain that even that many would finally support it. .It requires a two- thirds vote to ratify. The views of the Senators, as gathered either from their own statements, or those of their colleagues with whom they have discussed the subject, in case they are absent or decline to state their position, appears to justify the following classification: Favorable to the immediate ratification of the treaty—Hale, Gear, Nelson, Hoar, Vilas, Peffer, Gibson, Allison, Shoup, Gordon, Blanchard, Pugh, Caffrey, Burrows, Call, Kyle.—16. Oppesed on general principles—Gorman, Carter, Bacon, Mills, Brown, Baker, Irby.—7. Noncommittal—Hill, Aldrich, Sewell, Pet- tigrew, Brice, Murphy, Platt, Quay, Wet- more.—9. Opposed particularly on account of boun- dary qvestions—Mitchell (Ore.), Perkins, White, Wilson, McBride, Jones (Nev.), Man- tle, Dubots, Squire.—9. Opposed on account of hostility to the administration, in addition to other reasons ——Cockrell, Vest, Harris, Bate, Stewart, Berry, Blackburn, Jones (Ark.), George.—9. Opposed on account of too great scope of the convention—Sherman, Allen, Cannon, Chandler, Chilton, Clark, Cullom, Daniel, Davis, Faulkner Gray, Hawley, Lindsey, Lodge, McMillan, Martin, Mitchell (Wiscon- sin), Morgan, Frye, Wolcott, Butler, Palm- er, Tillman,, Morrill, Pasco, Proctor, Roach, Smith, Teller, Thurston, Turpie, Voorhees, Walthall, Cameron, Hansbrough, Elkins, Gallinger, Warren, Pritchard—39. It requires sixty votes to ratify a treaty. Mr. Olney cannot find them in the Senate. THIRTEEN CORPSES. The Buckner Orphan Home Holocaust Was Mére Horrible Than First Reported, -_— ---- oo Special to the Post-Dispatch., DALLAS, Tex., Jan. 16.—In the fire at Buckner Orphan Home, ten miles from Dal- las, last night, twelve boys and one girl are known to have been burned to death. Thir- teen bodies have been recovered, Other children are missing and their bodies may be in the ruins. Seventeen boys are badly injured and two may die. A special train with eupplies of clothing, bedding, drugs and provisions was sent to the home by the Dallas Commercial Club this afternoon. The origin of the fire is still a mystery, MILLIONAIRE MISER. Sir Richard Tighe’s Strong Boxes Aro Found to Contai@ $1,520,000. Special to the Post-Dispate. NPW YORK, Jan. 16.-'r Richard Tighe | world, who foolishly judged by appearances, called him poor and that the world was going to be mightily surprised when his three strong boxes at the safe deposit com- pany were opened. Those boxes, opened by an order from court, contain $1,520,000 in stocks and bonds. He also left $13,215.18 cash in banks, besides his house, the last remain- ing private residence in Union Square, which is probably worth $130,000. Here is definite glad news for the twenty- one cousins who are contesting the million- aire’s will and the nineteen benefictaries, mostly relatives of his wife. The will is as eccentric as he was. It is full of blanks and Xs, and the lawyers do not know whether these mean ten or an un- known algebraic quantity. It is without a punctuation mark, and all in one para- graph. The bequests are in faint pencil marks, as if when it came to putting down the sums he was giving away the old miser’s heart failed him, A miser—that is one way of looking at this strange old man, but there is another—the little children’s point of view.

Trains Cannot Move in Nebraska and South Dakota on Account of the Fall, OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 16.—Special telegrams to the Bee from Northern Nebraska and South Dakota points report that the heaviest snow storm of the winter is now in progress. The day began with rain, changing to snow about noon. Chadron, Neb., reports more than a foot of snow, with falling temperature. Huron, 8S. D., reports four inches added to the six inches that already covered the Jim River Valley. The railroads are again blocked. Efforts to get a rotary snow plow through on the Great Northern to Water- town had to be abandoned. At other points the situation is equally bad. In Omaha a drizzle of rain has fallen all day. HURON, 8S. D., Jan. 16.—A severe snow storm has prevailed here since noon and gives no sign of abatement to-night. The three inches of snow which has already fallen added to the six inches which had already covered the James River Valley will again blockade the railroads. The Chicagqg & Northwestern is well pro- vided with plows and engines on this di- vision, but the Great Northern has had no trains through from Benson, Minn., to Huron for fourteen days. Efforts to open this line have been abandoned, and the en- tire force has been set to work to open the Aberdeen branch, THE WEATHER FORECAST.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16—The Brooklyn Health Department, fearing that the Bu- bonic plague, now raging in India, may be carried to this country by steamships, has made preparations to have ail vessels ar- riving from India subjected to thorough dis- infection and quarantine. The chief health officer to-day issued orders to health offi- cers to take extra precautions in the exam- ination of ships. Especial vigor is to be exerted at the ship yards. THOUSANDS ARE DYING. Frightful Ravages of Disease and Famine in India. BOMBAY, Jan. 16.—Plague and famine are stalking arm in arm through densely popu- lated portions of the British Empire, thou- sands are dead or dying, and the outlook becomes blacker and more terrible every day. Millions of helpless men, women and chlidren are starving, and the famine- gtricken districts, having e population of nearly 40,000,000 people, will have to depend upon the hand of charity for food enough to keep body and soul together until April or later. Other districts with a population numbering 50,000,000 are already feeling the pangs of bitter privation from food and this must be endured well on into spring before permanent relief will be afforded by na- ture. Funds for the relief of the sufferers are being raised on all sides, but a very large amount of money will be needed to provide food even for those unfortunate people who live on almost nothing (in comparison with Europeans and others) from one end of the year to the other. This calamity, awful as 1° is in ite inten- sity, is possibly not much greater than the ravages of the dreadful plague here threat- ening to spread, through the fright of the natives of this city, into other parts of In- dia, and if it reaches the greatly weakened famine sufferers, the mortality may be enor. mous. The natives have been reduced by lack of food to little less than living skeletons, in the most reavily s®*ricken districts, dnd as such they cannot but fall victims by the thousands to the black plague which threat- ens to invade Europe through the Mecca piigrims and other sources for *he spread of contagion which are too numerous to men- tion, principal of which, however, are the exports of rags, linen and other merchan- dise likely to contain the poisonous germa.

Measures of Protection and Charity Taken by the Nations. LONDON, Jan. 16.—For some time past everything thas pointed to the fact that India is face to face with the most appalling calamity since the British occupation. of the greatest alarm. the two visitations have been confirei to The spread of the Bubonic plague came almost with drametic suddenness on the famine and created throughout Europe a feeling Up to the present separate areas, but it is extremely probable that the plague will ere long reach the fam- fine distriets, owing to the impossibility of preventing the migration of the panic- etricken natives, and should this turn out to be the case competent authorities look forvard to terrible mortality, as the plague germs will find fruitful soil in the emaciated natives. The Indian government appears hardly to have foreseen such a gigantic undertaking as that of relieving the necessities of over 80,000,000 of people, and its ready acqui- escerce to the proposition to appeal to pri- vate charity indicates that it now recognizes the insufficiency of its arrangements. The sympathy of Great Britain is now thoroughly aroused and relief funds have been started in all the chief towns. The Mansion House fund is approaching £90,000 ($460,000), and it is hoped that the total of the fund will reach at leas® £700,000 ($3,- 600,000), which was the amount subscribed for the relief of the sufferers of the last famine. The newspapers, however, urge that some more drastic measure be adopted, and one of the weekly papers suggests that Parlia- ment vote a big grant or lend India £10,000, - 000. A representative of the Associated Press called on the Lord Mayor, Mr. George Fau- del Phillips, after the meeting at the Man- sion House to-day. At that meeting a reso- lution moved by the Duke of Connaught, recognizing it to be a public duty to assist in the work of extending the relief measures, and a motion of Henry Hobhouse, M. P., which invited the county officials and clergy to co-operate in the relief work, were adopted. The Lord Mayor said he was hope- ful that Americans would cooperate, and he wrote the following statement, which he the Associated Press to publish in the United States: “The Lord Mayor of London will receive with profound gratitudé any donations from the people of America for the India famine funds. He asks the royal family to con- tribute to the fund. (Signed) “GEORGE FAUDEL PHILLIPS, “Lord Mayor.” From the European point of view, how- « ever, the plague is a matter of graver con- eern than the famine.

She Is Sick and Has Had Several Quar. rels With Her Low-Borh Lover. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—The World pub- ‘Ushes a full account of the elopement of the Princess of Chimay with the Gypey _violin'st, Janczy Rigo, sent by its corre- spondent at London. The story is, in part, as follows: | Tt is now a Mtile over a month since all the civilized workd began talking about the elopememt of the young Princess de Chimay with a middle-aged Hungarian Gypsy, sac- riflcing for bim her husband, whose name is kinked in the Almanach de Gothia with the royalties of Europe, and her two cail- dren; sacrificing an historical palace for a gypsy hut, and all else tha® social position, great wealth, much personal beauty and her rather unusual intelligence would have given her, The lover seems a low, bruial fellow, with no attractions of face or bear- ing. It is a squalid enough story of reckless sin and degradation, but it has extraor- dinary features, which make it a human document of general interest, and possibly of particular value of warn.ng to young g.rls of America, whose own vanity and am- bitions, coupled with the inc.temem ola foolish and title-worshiping mother, force them into loveless marriages. Herewith is the complete story. In many respects it deserves to be called historical, especially to us. ‘The miserable lesson is plain enough. It is for that reason as worth telling as any other of the like episodes of all history. It is, after all, tho story of Helen of Dido, of Messalina, of Elizabeth according to Froude, of Catherine of Russia, possibly of Marie Antoinette, cer- tainly of a famous or infamous ancestress of this same Prince de Chimay It is any one of the stories merely modernized. Those who knew her in Paris knew of the approaching tragedy years ago. I saw her first myself, a strikingly handsome, inno- cent-looking girl, driving with her mother in the Bois de Boulogne. She was then unmarried, a soft-eyed. brown-haired child, with strands. of gold therein. Even then, at 16, she had an exquisite figure. I saw her next in the Avenue des Champs Elysees, painted, her hair dyed bronze, bold eyed, all that is worst of the Parisian femme du monde, with an added atmosphere of Western reckless daring. Stories—sad of one seemingly so pure—were told of her be- fore her marriage. They were now openly talked of everywhere. But her graye. es cold, precise husband sat besidu er apparently all ignorant. Her flagrant infidelity was no less notorious than was his passive faith in her, In the past summer she fled with the mu- sician. The Parisian newspapers said noth- ing of it. Our Paris correspondent gives a reason for it, perhaps, in the Prince's skill with the rapier. I cabled the fact at the time, but no European or English Ne pe had any reference to it until rince began in November his suit for di- their brazen appearance together in the miserable gypsy encampment at Pagozd. Your correspondent was sent to the place where the Princess, not so long away from the magnificent chateau at Charleroi, Bel- um, the luxurious Paris home, visited hese miserable creatures. She defiantly declared that she was happier there with the man she loved than with the husband with a score of quarterings to his escutcheon, whom she married without love. It is alla curious psychological problem, isn’t it? The Berlin journalist seems at once to have made the Princess his friend. He is an American by birth, I bel'eve, but educated entirely in Gemmany and France. The nar- rative he sends me is so naive, mixture of puritah straightforwardness and continental acceptance of immorality in high that I send you his reports very much as they reach me. 's frankness in reportine what she said and did im his own words give a new pict- uresqueness to the psychological probiem, Reports from the World’s correspondents in Paris and in Belgium from a ‘noted litera man, who knew the girl and her family well, — - _ ter asking me to deny the rutnor. The Princess, although still a very fine- Plexion is also a very bad one. She looked very well in the traveling cos- tume when I saw her first, but when she re- ceived me in her rooms and I found her in @ neglige dress, her hair not done yet, thé face full of powder and rouge, all illusions disappeared and she looked more like an old heabitue of the Cafe Silvain or erican.

Nor do I intend by my letter to induce any of my countrywomen to follow my example. What I have done I did because I felt that I had to do it.

Had I been a man I would have become a ' second Count Tolstoi in certain respects. What I want to impress on my country- momen and especially on such of them who are, Vike I have been, spoiled children of fortune, is to always be true to themselves and to others; never to give upethe highest ideals of life for the sake of social posi- tion. There are, I think, only few Ameri- can-bred women who could feel themselvés really happy in the ‘high European, espe- cially continental, society. There are few exceptions, but very few only.

Strother ran after Payne, and when Payne got behind the desk railing among eight or nine clerks, but was still running, Strother halted, and steadying the revolver in both Rands, fired again. The bullet whizzed within an inch of the head of County Ac- countant Samuel Eppstein, and went through a window.

SAFE FROM LYNCHING. Murderous Georgia Negroes Guarded in Jail by a Posse. Gpecial to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ga. Jan. 16—The three negroes who s0 narrowly escaped lynching at Adams Park this morning are Safely housed in jail here and are guarded by a@ posse of twenty men. Mr. Rowland kept a.cotntry store. On Thrusday night his negro waiter, Forsyth, asked for his pistol, as he feared some Strange negroes who were prowling abou. die obtained the weapon.

I also sent her. some magazines which I had promised her. | I addressed the letter to the “Princess *himay’’ and spoke of her lover as ’‘Mr. Rigo.” She did not seem to like it for she answered it, signing her name “Madam Rigo.”’ : So when I again had occasion to write her I thought I would take the hint and I addressed her as ‘‘Mme.

General Progress of the Legislature and the Status of Fellow Servant Bills. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 16.—The Thirty-ninth General Assembly of Missouri is making a good record in the matter of dispatching work. Especially is this true of the House, although the Senate has shown no disposition to waste time. The work of the House is now several days ahead of the record made by any other As- sembly for severa] years past, and the in- dications are that the enactment of laws will begin in earnest within a very short time, One of the most interesting topics of dis- cussion here to-day is the forthcoming re- port of the Legislative Junketing Committee. This committee, which consists of Senator McClintic, Representative Lee and Repre- sentative Johnson, recently made a tour o the State for the purpose of inspecting elee- mosynary and educational institutions, hav- ing been appointed for that duty by Gov. Stone shortly after the late election. There is a wel! founded rumor in circulation here to-day that the report of this committee will in many respects be somewhat of a surprise. It is believed that severai recom- mendations will be made that will give the legislators something to think about for sev- eral weeks to come. One thing expected {s a recommendation that the Industrial. School for Girls at Chil- licothe should be abolished on the ground that there is really no demand for such in- stitution, inasmuch as it is not in the line of reform to have hardened and depraved girls there along with those of better sta- tion, who are sometimes sent up simply for what their parents deem incorrigibility. Another rumored recommendation is that all of the State normal schools be abolished on the theory that the appropriations for their maintenance could better and more ju- diciously be expended in support of the Uni- versity at Columbia. Another is that the School of Mines at Rolla be abolished on the grounds that the institution has but a comparatively light at- tendance and that it is an expensive lux- ury to the State when compared with the benefits derived. Another its a recommendation for the es- tablishment of another asylum for the in- esane, the same to be located somewhere in Southeast Missouri. The argument in favor of this is that the threé asylums now in existence at St. Joseph, Nevada and Fulton are crowded to such an extent as to de- mand relief. Nothing has yet been said as to the towns that will be proposed as a site for the new asylum. The members of the visiting or junketing committee, as it is called, are reticent as to what recommendadgions their repurt wil contain, and the foregoing lacks verifica- tion. However, the information comes from a source that is strictly reliable and there ds but little, if any, doubt about it. How the report, if it is along the line indi- cated herein, will be received by the legis- lators remains to be seen. The report will be submitted within a very short time. . It is generally known that Representative Lee of Carter County, whv is a member of the junketing committee, is preparing the asylum bill fer introduction in the House, This tends to verify the rumor thaf the committee report will contain a recommen- dation for the establishment of another asylum. It ig understood that the Fulton and Nevada asylums will each ask for an appropriation of $85,000, While St, Joseph will request $150,000. A departure tn the way of legislation fn Missouri is being made in the introduction of bills asking for the creation of non-salaried commissions to examine horse shoers as to their competency before they be allowed to pursue their vocation. There is also a bill relating to dentists, having the same object in view. And now in addition to this comes the story, well founded, too, that there will be a bill introduced asking that barbers be required to stand an examination as to their skill before they .can receive license to engage in business. The horse shoer and dental bills are already in, and the barber bill is expected to come. The creation of such commissions will entail no cost on the State inasmuch as the com- missioners are expected to serve free of charge, and the general opinion is that good results to a suffering public might come if such requirements were in effect. One of the most intelligent and wide-awake members of the House on the anti-lobby side has made a poll of the’ House, and according to his figures there w.ll no diffi- culty whatever in passing the fellow-servant bill and other legislation along that line, so far as the House is concerned, with the yossible exception of the Dyer anti-lobby ill, which may be rendered worthless by a committee substitute, as indicatedvin the Post-Dispatch a few days ago. The bill is still pending with the committee to which it was referred. The Dyer anti-lobby bill is in substance the same as the Georgia law, which has stood the test for fourteen years, This bill provides for severe penalties, and will bring about a new era in Missouri legislation if it should become a law. There is yet hope that the committee will not kill it, and if it leaves that committee without being loaded down with objectionable amendments, its advocates will make an unusually energetic endeavor to have it be- come a law That.some kind of a lobby will be reported by the committee having it in charge, there is hardly room for a doubt, But the question is, will the committee leave the bill as it was when Representative Dyer introduced it? The passage of the fellow servant bill in the House may be counted as a@ certainty, and it will be a genuine bill, too. The feel- ing on this particular bill is so intensely strong in its favor that the luke-warm mem- bers, who, under ordinary circumstances might vote against it, will hardly be bol enough to do so now. to the committee action on this bill there is no dowbt in the world, for it is in the hands of a committee that is known to be sincerely in favor of fellow servant legis‘ation. Committees have much to do with the fate of proposed laws, and it As tn the committee room that the greatest Gunger often lies. The fellow ser- vant bill is in he hands of the Committee on Internal Improvements. The anti-lobby bill 4g with the Committee on Criminal Jurispru- dence. These committees are mace up 4s follows: Criminal Jurisprudence—Martin of Bar- ton, Pope, Whitecotton, Tru‘tt, Leeper, Spofford, Johnston of S,} Louls County, Sickles, McCann, Smith and O'Fallon. Internal Improvements—Lee, Alldredge, Hall, Hess, Daugherty of Jasper, Cole, Dor- sett, Christy, Hopkins, Dyer, Pickler, Dens- low, Smith, Wilson and Reagan. CIGARETTE FIEND’S DEED.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—The bitter fight for patronage which has been going on be- tween the Filley men and Kerensites in Missourl, and which divided into two fac- tions the Republican! Congressmen from Missouri has culminated in some interesting statements concerning the late campaign in the State. The Republican Executive Committee and the Republican Congressional Committee have closed their campaign books and gone out of business. It is asserted, however, by a Republican from Missour!t who has been taking a part in the Kerens-Filley fight siding with the National Committee- man that the books show in black and white that each Republican candidate gress in the fifteen districts of Missouri received $2,000 spot cash from Mark Han- na’s committee to be expended in their sev- eral districts. This authority makes the bold statement that in a majority of instances the Repub- lican candidates for Congress in the State put this money in their pockets and trusted to McKinley to pull them through. three Republican candidates in the city of St. Louis were elected their seats have cost the $10,000 each, independent of the lump sum ra boodle that was sent for general distribu- on. This same authority contends that Col. R. C. Kerens has it tn his power to show up the rank political dishonesty of the Filley candidates for Congress, and that he is prepared to do this on short notice. Col. Kerens, it is asserted, has secured copies of the sworn statements of campaign expenditures made by the Filleyite candi- dates, and has written statements that not one turned a dollar back ‘to the treasury of the Republican committee, Now Col. Kerens proposes to turn on the searchlight and ascertain what the Filley- ites did with money received from the Na- tional Committee and not accounted for. As each candidate swore that he had ex- ended not more than $500 or $600 he may ave to show what disposition he made of the balance. If Col. Kerens goes on the warpath, as thus set out, the developments must of necessity be highly interesting. ee —_ NO SUCCESSOR TO WILLIS. The Vacancy Will Be Left for Mr. Mc- Kinley to Fill. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—Official notice of the death of United States Minister Willis in Honolulu has reached the State Depart- ment in a telegram from Consul-General El- lis Mills. As nothing was said about the funeral arrangements the Department can- not give directions or take steps at this time in that matter, but the necessary ex- penses, including transportation of the re- mains to the United States, will be de- frayed by it.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 16.—Hon. G. N., Tillman, late Republican candidate for Gov- ernor, has abandoned his contest of Tay- lor’s election, He publishes a card to-day in which he states that this course was neces- @itated by the act of the Legislature requir- ing him to give bond for $25,000 before pro- pesag with the contest. The contest would be decided by the Legislature and Mr. Till- man says he has no confidence in the fair- Mess of the Democratic majority. He has proof, he says, that he was elected by 5,000 majority, and flagrant frauds could be de- veloped giving him a still larger vote, A AE REDUCED CORN RATE. on The Lines Between Chicago and New ‘York Not Favorably Impressed. CHICAGO, Iil., Jan. 16.—The lines bet ween | Chicago and New York are not favorably | tmpressed by the action of the Board of | Managers of the Joint Traffic Association | in reducing the corn rate between the two! cities to 15 cents. They say that the action will have the result of cutting into their revenue without in any material degree in- creasing their business. The competition from the South and Southwest has hurt the grain trade .of the- reads east of Chicago very badly, and they have for a long time deen asking the Board of Managers of the Joint Traffic Association to put up the rate where it would insure them a larger portion of the business than they have been receiv- | gx. The roads east of Chicago would have referred a rate of 10 cents from Chicago to ew York, as one which would have in- creased their traffic and brought them a Sufficiently large amount of business to. have creased their revenue, but they do not be- eve the last cut will help them at all, ‘al passehger rates between Chicago | and St. Paul and Chicago and St. Louis have been especially disturbed by a second- class rate now in effect from St. Paul to. inte beyond St. Louis. Some time since he Chicago-St. Louis roads gave notice to | their St. Paul lines that they would no nger accept second-class tickets sold from St. Paul to St. Louls, via Chicago, except | @t full local rates from Chicago to St. Lous.

UNDER FLAGS OF ALL LANDS. Fifty Resplendent Arches Will Grace the Streets Representing the States and Territories. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. ¢., Jan. 16.—All ar- rangements for the inhugural cerenronies at Washington on March 4 are now under full headway. Nothing that money can se- cure will be left undone to make it the most brilliant event’ of its kind that éver occurred in this country. Washington will shine resplendently with an array of decorations such as was never witnessed at a presidential inauguration be- fore. Every building at the Capital, it is expected, will don a garb of red, white and blue, and every window will reflect the cheery faces of men, women and chil- Hundreds of thousands of people will as- the greatest parades of the century will form in line and march Wrough Washing- fon and martial music will resound from every wall, The Inaugural Committee ts rapidly shap- ing the preparations for the beginning of the McKinley regime. The pageant to the Capitol and back again promises to be the most magnificent that has ever marched on It ig the decoration, however, that wil] excel anything of the sort attempted at the last three itnaugurations. One of the features of the etreet decorations wil] be the erection. of arches over the cross streets leading to the avenue. Each arch is to represent a State and be symbolical of the Commonwealth. There are fifty of these arche’, one for each State, three for the territories, and one for the District of Columbia, and one for Alaska. The flag of every nation having an ac- Credited representative at Washington will float in the breeze in honor of the occa- £ Ae McKinley hag made his wants known relative to how he wishes to| go to Washington. His mother, wife, brother and nieces will accompany him. On account of the age of his mother Mr. McKinley has made a special request that the train bearing the Presidential party to Washington will run on a slow schedule. Maj. McKinley’s escort will leave about four hours ahead of the Presidential train in order that the former may arrive in Washington in time to get off the dust of travel and make a presentable appearance when they escort the President-elect from the depot to the Ebbitt House, where his quarters have been engaged. Chairman Hanna will leave Cleveland for Washington three days before Mr. McKinley and will be on hand to ride with him to the latter’s hotel. The infantry escort, the Eitghth Regi- ment, will leave Canton four hours phead of McKinley on a special train, while the Cleveland troop will do the same at Cleve- land, both arriving at Washington about the same time. A brilliant military display will be made and the Governors of many States, with their staffs, will head delegations to the ceremonies, There fs still a doubt as to the presence of the West Point boys at the inauguration ceremonies. Secretary Lamont recently sent an order requiring the cadets’ presence in Washington on March 4, but it is now said that he may rescind that order. This would keenly disappoint the boys, who have been looking forward to a good time. The in- structors at the academy are averse to any such interruption in their work and discip- line as the trip would entail. Besides they believe that the visit would have a demorel- izing effect on the health and habits of the cadets. The cadets of the Naval Academy at Annapolis have not yet been ordered to the tnauguration and it is understood that Secretary Herbert is not inclined to Issue an order to summon them to Washington. Who will comprise the New York State delegation is not definitely known, but it can be relied upon that the State and city will send to Washington one of the finest contingents ever assigned to such @ duty. EULOGIES OF CRISP. House Pays Tributes to the Memory of the Ex-Speaker. WASHINGTON, VJan. 16.—There was a small attendance in the House to-day when the gavel fell. The principal feature of the day was the eulogies upon ex-Speaker Charles F. Crisp, who died in the recess of Congress. In the first hour several «mall bills were passed. A bill authorizing the Columbla & Red Mountain Railroad Co. to build a bridge ross the Columbia River In Stevens Coun- , Wash., called up by Mr. Doolittle, was Pp , ate Catron attempted to secure the Bim of a bill to give the deserted Fort ary Reservation at nta Fe, N. M., to the American Invalid Aid Society of Boston for - Charles R. Crisp, the youngest member of the House, who succeeded his father. Many Republican members’ took their seats. Speaker Reed remained in the chair and the audience was the largest which has listened to tributes to a deceased member in years, Seal Protection. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—The Senate Com- mittee on Fisheries to-day Iistened to an argument by Prof. Elliott in advocacy of the bill providing for a new international agreement for the protection of the _ fur- bearing seals. Prof. Elliott exhibited a large number of colored charts showing the habits of seals. He contended that from an economic and humane point of view it would be far better for the United States to kill all the remaining seals outright than to permit the slaughter to continue under the present regulations. Medal for Bravery. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16.—A medal of honor has been awarded to Samuel J. Churchill of Lawrence, Kan., late Corporal Battery G., Second Lllinois Light Artillery, for most distinguished gallantry in action at the battle of Nashville, Tenn., Dec. li, 1864. This non-commissioned officer com- munded one gun detachment, and when the enemy’s batteries opened fire upon his gun, compelling the men of his detachment for a short time to seek shelter, stood manfully at his post and for some minutes worked his gun alone. Railroad Ticket Regulation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—Representative Sherman of New York to-day introduced a bill to regulate sales of railroad tickets in the form of an amendment to the Interstate Commerce act. The bill proposes to com- pel common carriers to provide all agents authorize i to sell tickets with certtficates of their authority, which must be conspic- uously displayed in their offices. It makes it calawfal for other parties to sell or trans- fer tickets or passes under heavy penalties and fixes penalties; also a fine and impris- onment for counterfeiting tickets, and pro- vides that all unused parts of tickets must be redeemed by the companies by which they are used. The Asiatic Squadron. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16.—The De- troit and the Yorktown have sailed from Shanghai for Nagasaki, Where the Detroit will meet the other vessels of the Asiatic squadron, gather up heir short-time men and bring them home to Mare Island. The Petrel, which has just beem thoroughly re- paired at Mare Island, will take the place of the Detroit on the Asiatic station. The Gan Francisco has arrived a?

The Texan Party Arrives and Presents in Glowing Terms the Name of Grant. CANTON, O., Jan. 16.—This was another busy day for President-elect McKinley. His visitors were numerous and importan®?. Mat- ters relating to the Cabinet and the incom- ing administration were discussed. Penn- sylvania’s two Senators, Messrs. Quay and Penrose, came to ask consideration of Gov. Hastings for a Cabinet por%folio and to dis- cuss other matters. Judge Joseph McKenna of San Francisco, a Cabinet possibility, ar- rived this morning and had a very eamMest conference with Maj. McKinley. This af- ternoon a large delegation from Texas and the Southwest, asking for recognition of State Chairman John Grant of Texas, was received, Throughout the day there was a steady s*ream of callers, | “Only Presiient-elect MeKinley knows.” This was the reply Seuator Quay made when the Associated Press representative met him at his carriage on his way 2» the train and asked whether he thought Hon.

Silt ieieecenmicenennenmaatinoaans: OFFICER LYNAW’S CASE. The case of police officer Lynam, de- graded from the ranks because he failed to protect a couple of fallen women, will be a warning to policemen generally that they have a new force to contend with— e force that they cannot afford to igncre, for it will inevitably prevail against them. It is the new ideal of womanhood that has been growing up in the past twenty years, until it now claims as its advocates gome of the best and most unselfish women of the day. This modern ideal has for its maxim *hat men are equally at fault with women mhere sexual errors are committed, and _tthat In a majority of cases the woman is more sinned against than sinning. This, of course, While knocking from under the feet of Don’ Juan the false pedestal on which he has posed as a young fellow who is merely sowing his “wild oats,” - and exposing him as a betrayer of inno- @ence, also to the same degree lifts up the erring woman, ‘and makes her a sub- §ect for pity and reform rather than one e@gainst whom therrest of womankind lifts its skirts in scorn and fear of sharing her ~ @egradation. It is evident that Officer Lynam had failed to comprehend this new conception end its practical force when applied to police treatment of criminals. He was still under the impression that the most implacable enemy of the fallem woman fs the respectable woman of her own eex, and he had no fear that the other Bex would lift a finger. The average policeman has a good deal to learn, and this is one incident that will help to open his eyes. —_— 2 oe HYPNOTISM PLAYED OUT. The retiring Governor of Kansas did gn act of too long delayed justice in par- @oning Anderson Gray, under sentence of death for incitement to murder. Gray was indicted as an accessory before the ect and convicted, while the confessed murderer, who pleaded the undue influ- ence of Gray as the moving motive to the commission of the crime, was acquitted. When these verdicts were rendered it was said that a charge of hypnotism ex- erted by Gray had been raised in the trial, and that the court had taken judi- cial cognizance of it. The case attracted world-wide attention. It was shown at the time, however, or soon after the ac- qguittal and conviction, that hypnotism Was not an element in the trial of the Case. The records of the trial court did mot disclose anything more than the old line of criminal procedure in cases involv- ing principals and accessories. The instructions of the trial Judge were Gefinite on the point that the principal having been acquitted the accessory could mot be convicted. Gray was convicted, mot because of, but in eapite of, the in- structions of the court, He was quarrel- some, immoral, a prime hand at a horse trade, and, accordingly, unpopular in a Kansas community, He fell a victim to his own sins and his own devices, He should have been released long ago. The carrying out of his sentence, under all the circumstances of the case, would have been not only a defeat of all the ends of justice, but if it could have stood @s a precedent it might have introduced @n element into criminal practice that would have served as an excellent gubsti- Rute for the almost obsolete insanity @odge. _—— ~~ —_— - ——, — THE LINE OF MEMORY. The Post-Dispatch recently asked the @uestion whether the Theosophio or Buddhist doctrine of “Karma” is a de- terrent of crime? In other words, would the feeling of certainty that a crime would be punished at some time, possibly in a future life in which no memory of this life would necessarily eurvive, keep @ criminal from committing a crime? It was said that the sequence of lives con- templated in the Buddhist doctrine of Reincarnation, which is inseparably con- grected with the doctrine of Karma, had fo more coherence than ea string of beads, and that memory ofthe crime was neces. gary to make the punishment effective, A correspondent suggests that the string’ commecting the sequence of human lives which we are to live, accord. tng to this doctrine is the consciousness, and that consciousness, connecting all the series of lives, makes the Karma doo. trine a reasonable one. But the consciousness of the millions fm thie present life witnesses that no gemory exists of past lives, if any have been lived by us. Hence, when misfor- tune overtakes us, we bewail our fate as @omething undeserved, In no case ton- it with anything done in past ‘Bree, of which re haveno memory Bach —" —— Vor 5+ Zé tite appears absolutely cut off from the past. The link of memory is wholly wanting. This link of memory is demanded by reason as the connecting factor between one life and another, To be remedial, or even retaliatory, a punishment must fol- low while the offender remembers the of- fense, Otherwise the sufferer refers his suffering to accident or natural causes in his evil ways. The belief in Karma leads inevitably to fatalism, and is not adapted to West- ern minds. THE ROAD TO RUIN. The Civic Club, speaking in behalf of the Civic Federation, does wisely to re- pudiate with emphasis the report that the Civic Federation will ally itself with the Boltocrats In the coming municipal cam- paign, by indorsing a candidate fot Mayor whom the Boltocrats would seleet and place in the field. This much is certain: If the Civic Federation allies itself in any manner, direct or indirect, with the Boltocrats as an organizatiom, not one of the clubs which it has formed in the city will escape disruption, and the Federation itself will collapse amid contumely. The Civic Federation has nothing to gain and much to lose by such an alliance. For their candidate for Governor the Boltocrats mustered just 342 votes in St, Louis. But they brought not even this much strength to any candidate who with or without them stood a chance of elec- tion. How damaging their support is was shown by the relative vote which was cast for Gov. Stephens, whom they bitterly denounced and opposed, and Judge Brace, whom they indorsed against his wish and in spite of his protest. Judge Brace ran about 10,000 votes behind Gov. Stephens, and for this there is no possible explana- tion except that the Boltocrats aroused the suspicion of Democrats by cumbering him with their support. This would be the result in St. Louts. Acandidate for Mayor nominated by the Boltocrats would be so crushingly de- feated that it would be hardly worth while te count the votes cast for him. The Civic Federation could not save the Boltocrats from this result. It would sim- ply be dragged down by them to the same fate. And when the campaign was ended, the Civic Federatiom would be ended also. It would be go discredited that there would be in it no promise of future usefulness. FAIRCHILD ON SAVINGS BANKS. At the recent annual meeting of the American Economic Association, ex-Sec- retary Fairchild called attention to the hardship and disturbance to business caused by the failure of savings banks. He stated that the deposits in savings banks in the United States exceeded the deppsits in national, State or private banks. He pointed out that savings banks as a rule have no capital or stock- holders. Their assets consist of the de- posits and what they can earn from loan- ing out such deposits. These deposits are looked upon by depositors not as an investment, but as something they shculd be able to withdraw at will. -As soon as depositors become alarmed and begin to withdraw, loans have to be called in, thus creating business disturbance and some- times making the savings banks a men- ace to business interests. Secretary Fairchild suggested nothing in the way of improvement on this state of things, and no one at the meeting of supposed “‘Economists” had anything tc offer. If these men had been at all in sympathy with the demands of the work- ingmen and the masses, they would have known and gtated that the remedy for irresponsible private savings banks, without capital or real stability, is a Postal Savings Bank, with the national Government at its back, in which the people would place full confidence, and which has proved highly satisfactory in Frarice, in Great Britain and in other countries. ' The Post-Dispatch is not opposed to savings banks. They have been helpful to millions of people and are still render- ine service. But the time has come for something better and more stable. The people should have the Postal Savings system because they are entitled to the best. ’ AN UP-TO-DATE PRINCESS. The little army of reporters who are bothering the life out of the Princess of Chimay are rank Philistines, They are away behind the times, in spite of their conceit that they represent the vanguard of progress, They have been too busy running around after scandals to keep up with the advance of the new woman, Don’t they know that the Princess of Chimay is the most up-to-date woman of the times? She is giving the world an object lesson in the ideals put forward by Grant Allen, Maurus Jokal, the author of “The Yellow Aster,” and other ‘“ad- vanced” novels. She is merely doing what poets of passion and novelists of sentiment have preached—following love instead of law. They have insisted that when a woman gets ready and Is satisfied that love points the way, it is her indls- putable right to follow, no matter where the path may lead. In announcing her intention to run off with somebody else when she tires cf her fiddler lover, the Princess of Chimay mere- ly shows that she is entirely consistent. That also is a fulfillment of the ideals of the newest novelists and poets. This princess is not the kind of princess £0 lovingly described by Ruskin, but Ruskin is @ back number any way, and the re- porters could not find anything sensa- tional in a Ruskinian princess. But whatever sort of a princess the Princess of Chimay may be, it is time for the reporters to leave her alone. It !s no business of theirs what she does or says. They are treading on dangerous ground, The ultimate destiny of the up- to-date princess is not a subject for pub- lic dissection. — A CHILD LABOR InN ILLINOIS. The Illinois law for the regulation of child labor has been im force less than four years. In that time it has demon- strated its usefulness to the State, and such supplementary legislation as is needed to make it more effective will doubtless be enacted during the coming session. The official report of Mrs. Florence Kel- ley, the State Factory Inspector, shows that a great many children under the statutory age, hitherto employed in fac- tories, have been taker out, and the reg- ulation of the work of other minors of = -— ———— —— ———— he had nothing to do with, and goes on. : tender age is much more satisfactory than formerly. Mrs. Kelley urges the ex- tension of the operation of the law to include other establishments not now eovered by it. She also urges stricter reg- wlation of sanitation and ventilation of places where child labor is employed, and a stricter limitation of the hours of labor in all of them. It has been demonstrated by practical experience ‘that a great obstacle to the full effectiveness of the law is the, will- ingness of idle and dissolute parents to commit perjury for the purpose of put- ting their children to work. We know of no instance where such an offense has been adequately punished. The surround- ing conditions in nearly all such cases make prosecution Impossible, but a vig- orous enforcement of the law is impossi- ble without conviction in such cases. It has been demonstrated that the great majority of employers are willing to com- ply with the law. Continued and contin- uing hard times and want of employ- ment for men make the law more difficult of rigid enforcement, but the return of better conditions will still find indolent parents willing to perjure themselves and sacrifice their children to their indolence. Against these there should be justice —tempered with such mérey as condi- tions demand—but justice. Otherwise the law can never be properly enforced. I TITLES IN AMERICA. A correspondent who signs himself “Democrat” writes that in a recent issue the Post-Dispatch “used the words, “his Grace,” “master and servant,” and in many Issues has used the words, “‘com- mon people,” “plain people,” etc. The writer adds the following rather original remarks: I am a churchman, landlord, Democrat, and withal merciful to the poor. Pray, tell me, to what class do I belong? In a Demo- cratic government like ours, is either ‘‘mas- ter, servant, his grace or common people” proper to describe a hired servant, a preach- er or a voter, especially in a people’s Dem- ocratic paper? The Post-Dispatch does not use titles, except where necessary for descriptive purposes. As an organ of the people, it is opposed to the importation of European titles and Old-World toadyism. It has little respect for hereditary titles. The Post-Dispatch has a number of readers, who, probably because they think for themselves, are not always con- sistent. Some strenuously object to be called “poor,” though they are‘not rich, and when writing a letter for publication do not hesitate to sign themselves “Sans Culotte” or something of the kind. The correspondent quoted appears to pride himself on the title of Churchman, and says he is “merciful to the poor,” just as one of the petty British nobles—some “god almighty of the country side’— might do. In giving the news about people who, among their own set, are dignitaries, a newspaper is compelled to use descrip- tive titles, and in describing the wealthy and the destitute, a newspaper does well to call a spade a spade and use the old Saxon words “rich” and “poor.” This does not force men into castes. It mere- ly describes them as they are. And for the use of the phrase, “plain people,” the Post-Dispatch has the excellent authority of Abraham Lincolm OO Chicago policemen are to be the judges of the proper height of the feminine the- ater hat, and they are to collect all the fines as the offenders pass out. Now if these police powers could be extended to the man who goes out between the acts, play-going would be delightful, and the fair, perceiving this fairness, would all quietly submit to being pretty without their big hats. -_ _, —_—” hed —_— 7 — Hereafter no member of the Masonic fraternity in Minnesota can sell intoxi- cants, and 100 persons now im the liquor business will be expelled from the order if they do not change their occupation, If the Masons of all the other States were to follow this lead, there would be at least one great temperance society. a The German duel is somewhat supertor to the French article.

Many an inventor is in oblivion while some richer man is getting the game that belongs to him. The “fifty-four lady ‘commercial trav- elers” of England are said to be suc- cessful merchants.

Written for the Post-Dispatch. : There dwelis within the human Dreast ne Nor comes within the heatt @ shade of It is with a certain degree of pleasure that I am able to record the fact that our own Judge Murphy is really “not the only one.” There are other pebbles on the beach, other cities besides St. Louls which are afflicted with eccentric incumbents of the judicial bench. San Francisco has a Judge, for instance, who distances Judge Murphy. The latter turns criminals loose when they are brought before him. The San Francisco Judge goes him one better. He anticipates. He signs orders for releases before the pris- oner isa prisoner, Then when he is arrested all that remains is to fill in the Gate and | th turn him loose. This is much simpler than the Murphy method, and inasmuch as the city saves the cost of feeding i asen’ while awaiting his arraignment, plan might be adopted with profit fa Louis, since the criminal is released eventually, anyway. If Judge Murphy is committed to retrenchment and reform, he shewld give this serious consideration. Speaking of the law and its administra- tors, reminds me of the forceful ruling made by Commissionér Grant in New York last week in the investigation of Capt. Chap- man for breaking in on the hilarious Seeley dinner at Sherry’s. It was not exactly a judicial inquiry, but, es usual, the lawyers proposed that the recognized rules of evi- dence should prevail. This means, briefly, that every hair-splitting technigality that intervenes to protect the lawyer’s client, and to prevent all the truth being told, shall be taken advantage of. When such a tech- nical objection was raised, Col. Grant re- plied: “I am not learned in the law, but it is my opinion that the introduction of truth at any time cannot possibly injure or do injustice to any one.” From the standpoint of the average law- yer, this sentiment is revolutionary and most reprehensible, but the average citizen, who is heartily tired of technicality, would be glad to have it applied to the ad- ministration of the law. When a witness goes on the stand he is required to solemnly swear that he will tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.’’ The ‘honest man takes this oath in good faith, but generally he forswears himself innocently. He would tell the whole truth were he permitted to do so. But he isn’t. The defendant’s lawyer tobs up with a technical objection. This is not material, that is not relévant, the other should be excluded as not according to the rules of evidence, and he will quote precedents to sustain his objections. The consequence is that if the witness tells half the truth he is doing well. Under an expert cross-examiner he is likely to convict himself of downright lying and get all tangled up in trying to tell a straight story. The form of oath should be amended to read: “I hereby sol- emnly swéar to tell so much of the truth as laws and precedents and technical objec- tions will allow me to and no more.”” Then could the honest citizen testify and carry away aclear conscience with him, I am in receipt of a mathematical problem which begins like this: “In what month and on what day of the month were you born? Write down tne number of the month, and to the right of it the number of the day. Multiply by 2, add 5, multiply by 60, add your age, subtract 365, and then add 115. The result will be the number of the month and the day of your birth as well as your age.” Then follows a bewildering ar- ray of figures designed to show the working of the problem. It is all right, but I am unalterably opposed to labor, mental or otherwise, which is useless. The trouble with this problem is that one must know how old he is, and the day and month of his birth before he begins to figure on it. After he has figured it all out, he knows just what he knew before. This sort of labor is about as satisfactory and productive as working a treadmill. One of New York’s big Sunday papers contained last Sunday a large picture of a ball given at the Astor mansion recently. Above the picture was the quotation from Carlyle’s “Sartor Resartus,’’ in which the whimsical old philosopher Teufelsdrockh tries to imagine the clothes flying off every noble grandee at a ‘thigh state function, leaving them as they came into the world. The old mythical pghilosopher’s contention was that society was founded wholly upon clothes, and he tries in vain to imagine dignity adhering to even the most illustri- ous personage without the adventitious aid and support of suitable clothing. The mod- ern newspaper idea in suggesting to the reader an application of Teufelsdrockh’s to the ball in question seems to be wholly pur- ulent. Leaving motive out of the question, however, it seems a pity that the originator of this brilliant idea did not read a few lines further in his “Sartor Resartus’’ and act accordingly. Teufelsdrockh. continues: “This physical or psychical infirmity (mean- ing this unruly imagination of his) I have, after hesitation, thought right to publish, for the solace of those afflicted with the like.” Whereupon the editor of the phil- osopher’s papers comments: ‘Would to heaven, say we, thou hadst thought right to keep it a secret.” This reminds me of a story submitted to me last week by an ambitious amateur Story writer, for an opinion on its merits, It begins like this: “Oh, dear, was anything ever so provoking? Here we have an in- vitation to Dalton’s ball, and not a thing to wear. I do wish that we might have clothes like other people.” The heroines of this story are in a bad fix. It is shock- ing to contemplate two refined young ladies with not even a blanket to clothe themselves withal in the cold months of winter. As far as going to the ball is concerned, how- ever, the young women, if they *lipped in quietly and sat still, might escape special noticé of their unclothed condition among all the other partially clothed ladies. The story goes on to show the force of early habits also in later life. The heroines ac- quire wealth and go to the ball. Subse. rk they acquire husbands in the days of prosperity, but evidently their early habit# could not be eradicated, for the bud- ding author describes the wedding in this way: “Jack Dalton’s bride wore white rosebuds, while her sister was adorned with lilies of the valley, as they stood at the altar.” We have had the nude tn art, the living pictures, and the unclad drama, and now, the unclothed in fiction Is with us. Properly illustrated, the novel submitted should have a large sale. Evangelist Moody, as might be expected, bas had something to say anent the shock- ing revelations of the high Jinks at the Sesley dinner party. Mr. Moody, favors making a donfire of all the paintings and statues of the nude in art as @ starter to- ward @ general moral reform. The trouble with reformers of the Moody and Comstock cult is that they ecem to be unable to dif- feréntiate between the pure and the im- plite—between the cold marble faultless. ly chiseled, which can awaken sens thoughts only in the prurient mind, and the palpitating human flesh vulgariy exhib- {reform in the School Board; he has even ee The insanity of Agent Dennett, the so- called agent of Parkhurst’s anti-vice so- clety, points a moral along thése lines, There are men @nd women whe become moral monomaniacs by becoming mentally | absorbed in one ruling passion. “To the puré all things afé pure,” is not wholly true.

She Claims the Girl’s Stepfather Has Deserted Her and Is Spending Her Blood Money for Drink. | For $25 13-year-old Mabel Stacking is said to have been sold to a band of gypsies by an inhuman stepfather at Winstanley Park, a suburb of East St. Louis. The child’s mother, Mrs, Minnie Orrick, told the pitiful story in the East St. Louis Police station last night. Detectives were at once dispatched to in- tercept the Romany band and reclaim the child. Word was sent to the St. Louis po- lice to capture the step-father. His wife claims that he deserted her and came to this city to spend his blood money in dissi- pation. The little girl was bought by the gypsies and epirited away to be the wife of a young son of one of the leaders of the band. Mrs. Orrick and three children, the eldest 6, the youngest a babe at her breast, spent the night at the East St. Louls police, sta- tion. They had only a miserable shack to go to, no fire and no food. The kind hearted police gave them plenty top eat and spread blankets ©n a cell floor and afforded them comfortable shelter for the night. The family, consisting of Marion Orrick, wife and four children, came to East S8t. Louis two months ago. They struck camp in Winstanley Park, a low, marshy resort sparsely covered by timber and ,. located about a mile northeast of the National Stock Yards. Orrick, claims to be a pro- fessional horsetrader. When he landed in East St. Louis he had four horses and a wagon, but no tent nor covering for the wagon. The family slept in the wagon- box. Later on Orrick trafficked around and managed to get a ragged tent, but it illy served to protect the family from the ele- ments. The wife says that it was worse than no shelter at all as-Orrick compelled her and the children to sleep on the ground. About a month ago a gang af gyp:sies— “Turks,’’ Mrs. Orrick called them—camé and tethered their horses and wagons within 400 yards of the Orrick camp. Mrs. Orrick says she didn’t neighbor with the ‘‘Turks,’’ as they used such broken English and had such strange and uncouth ways tnat she ‘didn’t care to mix with them.” Two weeks ago Orrick told his wife that their neigh wanted Mabel to assist them around their camp and were willing to pay the girl 530 cents a day for the service. As her husband was painfully improviMent and was starving his family to death, Mrs. Or- rick reluctantly consented, Mabel insisted that she would give her mother every cent of her earnings to pur- chase food. The mother didn’t take the pains to ascertain the names of her daugh- ter’s employers. Mabel worked faithfully in the gypsy camp and 9 gt ag ome paid hher regularly, but instead of the wife and mother and starving little ones getting the benefit, Or- rick gobbled every cent, she says, and spent it for drink. Orrick would go to his miserable camp beastly drunk every night, and as often Mrs. Orrick and the children would be bru- tally beaten, kicked and cuffed. On several occasions Mrs. Orrick threatened to leave the brute and take the children, but to all such threats Orrick would reply that if she undertook that course he would kill her and the little ones. A week ago their con- dition came to the notice of the Society of Queen’s Daughters of St. Patrick’s Church, Mrs. Orrick and the children were furnished with food and clothing. Saturday morning Mrs. Orrick left her tent at daybreak and noticed that her gypsy neighbors had vanished during the night, taking Mabel with them, leaving no clue by which their route could be traced. The distracted mother was horrified to think of her daughter leaving without noti- fying her. Mrs. Orrick had no reason to think that the girl would prove unduti- ful, and she set to work to unravel the mystery. In her search the woman, with the babe in her arms and two little tots trotting at her heels, ran across William Pfeiffer. He told her that Orrick had sold Mabel to the gypsies for $25. One of the old men in the gang wanted the girl to serve as the wife of his son, and offered that sum to Orrick if he would close the deal and assigt in spiriting the girl away so that her gnother would be none the wiser until they got safely away. It was late in the afternoon when Mrs. Orrick found Pfeifer She knew Pfeiffer well, but could not. state where he lived nor where he could be found, and for this reason the police were inclined to regard her story with doubt. But the manner of the woman and the other circumstances in the case arqused the sympathy of Sergt. Welkobroski and Lieut. Monroe. They resolved to overhaul the gypsies and aid the case thoroughly. It will not be difficult to identify the wanderers charged with the abduetion as they are accompanied by two large trained bears and a monkey or two and give street exhibitions in towns which they touch in their endless travels. Word was imme- diately sent to all environments and the authorities notified to be on the lookout ed the alleged kidnappers of Mabel Stack- ng. RED BUD’S DARK CONTINENT.

FEARED HE WAS MURDERED. ‘He Was Away From the Scene of Trouble, but His Letters Home Were Stolen. J There was a happy reunion at 2929 Locust Street Wednesday night. Randolph Hutchinson, son of the Pres#- dent of the Mechanics’. Bank, returned home unexpectedly from Mexico after his family and friends had almost given up hope of ever seeing him again. As told in the Post-Dispatch at the time Mr. Hutchinson was supposed to have been right in the midst of the Peon rebellion. r weeks no news was received from him and it was thought that he had been murdered. Every effort was made to locate the young man, but no trace of him could be found. Instead Americans living in that country sent information that almost proved that the young St. Louisan had been Killed. All this time young Hutchinson was hav- ing a spiendid time. rospecting in the mountains away from all regular mail routes he knew nothing of the trouble his absence was causing miles away. When he reached a city Mr. Hutchinson would write a long letter home telling of his successes and giving a glorious account of the country. ae of these letters reached their destin- on, ° Hutchinson wag not in the hostile Peon country. He was surroundered by a shiftless, steal- ing tribe, who intercepted his letters in hope of gain. Mr. Hutchinson was seen at his home Saturday afternoon. The camping life in a etrange country has not hurt him, and he is eager to go through it again. “It is a splendid country,’ sald he, “and I am going back in four or five days. Of course, I knew nothing of the worry I was causing at home. “TI wrote regularly, but the natives would steal the letters. The mai! system there is lax. They tear off the stamps and the let- ters would then be thrown away. “There is a great chance for Americans in that country. “As I have found it, however, they must confine their business to three lines—rail- roading, mining and smelting. , “Of these three branches the natives have little or no technical knowledge and for- eigners have them at a great disadvantage, “This is particularly true of railroading. The lines thére are almost entirely operat if not owned, by Americans. “IT would not advise a young man to go to Mexico in search of employment. “The ityhabitants will not hire an Amerti- can. He must go there with a job and backed by foreign capital to succeed.”’ Another young St. uisan who is takin his chances in that country is Leslie Mof- fett, son of the well known real estate man, Mr. Moffett and Mr. Hutchinson went to Mexico together, but separated as their bu- siness lay along different lines, Mr. Hutchinson, though a young man, stands high as a civil engineer.

Rich New York Families Who Store Away Their Plate and Use Plated Duplicates. WEW YORK, Jan. 13.—Otero, the dancer with the diamonds, who is to fill an en- gagement at Koster & Bial’s- Music Hall, will find that the steries of her great pos- sessions have already been discounted here by some anecdotes that have reached this country from Paris, and they are recent enough te hold good still. It i riot prob- @ble that she has, since these accounts of ber jewels were heard here, acquired the ownership of the quantity which she cus- tomarily wears. It was in Paris that she attracted attention by her lavish display of anced and even the stories about her in- eresting private life that from time to time reached the public ear made it 4if- ficult to believe that she could have accu- mulated such an extraordinary number of diamonds. Adelina Patti used to have two detectives on the Academy of Music's stage to guard her diamonds when she wore them, but in Paris this later celebrity had three. suey watched her carefully, and were so Vigilant that they met her at the win when e6he left the stage, and did not walt for her to reach her dressing room before relieving her of the weight of diamonds she was struggling under, This attention, %t seems, was not so much the result of the dancer's fears ag those of the jewelers who owt her the diamonds. Unlike Mme. atti, the dancer did not hire the men to Watch her and the diamonds, It was the jewelers who did it, and they had their own reasons—whatever they may have been ~for collecting their property as soon as the uty stepped out of the gaze of the public tnto the obscurity of the wing. So every might, before she had gotten to her dressing foom, the jewelers’ employes were busy re- moving the stomachers, the tiara, and her other articles on which her public fame as a celebrity rests. In all the big department stores in New York now the book department |s a feature and in almost all cases it is in charge of ung women, The books dealt in are for he most part popular novels and cheap edi- tions of standard works, The former are covered in artistic linen covers and they ere piled high on big tables marked 15 cents, % cents and 30 cents, prices lower than the per covered editions of those books sold r two or three years ago. For instance one may buy some of Anthony Hope's or Robert Louls Stevenson's etories in linen bindings and fairly good print for 16 cents volume. Some of the classics in the same réss may be purchased for the same price. i@ is a noticeable fact that the majority of the young women who are stationed at the book counters have very little appreciation of what they are gelling. They are willing to offer advice at once if the pucsuneey hvesi- in a choice. A man who made the overy several days ago that the depart- ment stores sol ks, and went the rounds to see what he could find, came to the con- chision that the young women who sold ks recognized only two writers, and with all due respect to them, they were Bertha Clay and a young woman who lives in rooklyn and gets her name into the news- papers at regular advertising rates. When- ever the man hesitated for a moment or two, in whatever store it might happen to ba, the enterprising young woman hended him a story by one or the other of these two writ- ers, with the remark, ‘That Is nice. I’ve it myself, and it’s just grand,’”’ In the ret store where this advice was given it used t Sherested him, and therefore he "The amount of silver that is eafely stowed away in safe deposit vaults,” said an official of such an institution, ‘‘is much larger than anyone suspects, e have in our vaults now silver services that are not uged more than half a dozen times a year. They are of great value, not so much be- cause of their intrinsic worth as because of their historical associations. They have been handed down from ome generation to other, and if they were stolen or melted by fire it would be impossible to replace hem. The families who own geuch silver frave, in 80me cases, had a clever imitation made of it in plated ware, and it is safe to Say that their guests can’t tell the real Q@rticles from the counterfeit. Several of the large silversmiths have vaults filled with old silver owned by people who don’t gee it once a year. They know that it is safe with us, and they are afraid to keep it im their houses. A woman told me several days ago that she had had her entire silver service duplicated in platedware, and that now she wasn’t very much afraid of fire or burglars.’’ A designer for a well-known firm of asilversmiths on Broadway, in speak- ing of the way in which handsome silver Was stowed away im vaults, said several weeks ago: ‘What is the use of designing handsome silver? Unless a service is in- tended for one of the warships or fora very wealthy family that has a big vault, the designer’s work goes for almost nothing. It is commented on when the silver is bought, and then it is hidden away in a gafo. We have many thousands of dollars’ worth of silver in our vaults owned by our customers, but it seldom leaves us.” The uptown beggars are better dressed of late than they have been for some sea- ons. Indeed, the y* sappinartowings | dressed men who ask for alms on upper ming rclaion | are not only larger in numbers than usual, but they are also striking in appearance owing © their air of comparative prosperity.

BILL HAS BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE LEGISLATURE. ee eee DRAWN BY THE COMPTROLLER. Youthful Miscreants Sent to the Re- form School to Be Paid For by the State. The bill introduced in the Legislature by Benator Mott proposing an amendment to gection 17 ofthe act of 1895, was drawn by Comptroller Isaac H. Sturgeon and Auditor Joseph Brown, and introduced at their re- quest. It is destene’ to do away with an intended @iscrimination against the city and in favor of the State. The present law requires the city to pay for the maintenance of a1] minors sent to the Boonville Reform School, whether for felony or misdemeanor. The State pays for the maintenance of all felons gent to the Penitentiary, but if the offender is only a few days under 18 years of age he must be eent to the Reform School and kept there until hets 21 at the city’s expense. The Auditor and Comptroller cannot un- Gerstand why the State should not ssup- port criminals under 18 years as well as ghose over that age. the effect of the it was passed, They do not belleve law was understood when and have no doubt that the @mendatory bill will go through. The full text of the bill is as follows: An act to amend Section 17 of “‘An act to prpvide for the government and support of the State Reform School for Boys, and for the commitment of boys to said inatitu- tion, and for the punisnment of boys un- der 18 years of age convicted of crime, and to repeal articls 5 of c hapter 88, being eections 6,731 to sec tion 5,756, inclus! ve, of the Revised Statutes of 1889, entitled “Re- gt School for Boys,” approved March RC Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, as follows: Section 1, be ction 17, of ‘“‘An act to pro- vide for the government and support of the State Reform. Schoo! for Boys, etc.,"’ ap- proved March, 18, 189, is hereby repealed and the following new section is hereby enacted in Ileu thereof: Seetion 17. When any boy shall be committed to said Reform School by any court having criminal juris- diction, upon conviction of any felony, or when the Governor, as hereinafter pro- vided, shall commute ‘the sentence of any person from imprisonment in the peniten- lary to the Reform School, the expenses of the maintenance of said boy shall be paid: by the State out of any money appro- priated for the payment of criminal costs, and the Auditor shall draw his warrant therefor in favor of the Treasurer of said fnstitution quarterly, upon requisition filed with him by the Se« ‘retary of the Board provided that if the Governor shall commute the sentence of any boy over 18 years of @ge. he shall cause the fact to be certified fo the State Aur litor; and provided further, that if it shall be shown to the court before which the conviction was had, that such boy had an estate sufficient to maintain him at sald school, judgement shall be entered against him for his m: Lintenance while con- fined in said institution: and it shall be the duty of ‘the guardian, curator, or other person having possession of his estate to pay to the Treasurer of said institution the amounts hereinafter stated for his support in said school, And when any boy shal] be committed to said Reform Schoo! by any court having criminal jurisdiction, upon Viction of any misdemeanor, the ex- penses of the maintenance of § said boy shall be paid by the county in which he shall be convicte ed.

NAMES OF THE PRINCIPALS. Fashionable Young Women in a Fash- ionable Institute Show Their Histrionic Talent. When the announcement was made that members of the Latin classes at. Hosmer Hall were to appear in male attire at the annual meeting of the Philomathean 5So- ciety, considerable conjecture was indulged in as to the identity of the young women. The Philomathean Society comprises the most fashionable set of pupils in the in- stitution. The members adopted every safe- guard against the identity of the more dar- ing ones becoming known, and, as a result, when the annual meeting wa8 held there was such a large audience that it could not be accommodated. The occasion for the donning of male at- tire was the presentation of the comedy, “My Awful Chum.” This was rendered Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Hosmer Hall, as the conclusion of a very inter- esting programme, There were so many applicants for admission who could not be accommodated that the entire programme was répeated yesterday afternoon to as large an audience as was assembled Friday. In order to effectually conceal the identity of the male impersonators, the names of all the young ladies participating, as they ap- peared on the printed programmes, were fictitious. The part of Hudson, leading character in the farce, for instance, was assigned to John Drew, according to the programme. That of ‘Burleigh was given to E. H. Sothern; that of Randolph to Richard Mans- field. Shreedy, the prizefighter, was imper- sonated ostensibly by Nat Goodwin. Since the production Saturday the identity of the male characters has teak out. It develops that the part of Hudson was played by Miss Helen Forbes; that Migs Garrickson, member of the senior Latin class, took the mart of Burleigh, and that Miss Maude tingen impersonated apse An exceedingly clever del neation of the character of Shreedy was given by Miss Effie Stuart, and those who saw the produc- tion declare that Jim Corbett himself has never given a better imitation of a prize fighter yaa every standpoint ‘the aggregation of young ladies in male attire presented a very pretty picture. The feminine characters in the play were taken by Miss Estelle B.ggs, W ho appeared as Mrs. Hudson, and Miss Lucy Whitelaw, as Miss Hudson. “My Awful Chum” was preceded by a masque, for which the participants invented the name “chronothanotoletron,’ signify- ing “masque of the ages,”’ the programme opening with the “Vestal Virgin Drill, This was led by Miss Juliet Sharp as Rhea, her assistants being Misses Adele Prosser, Alice Lafon, Josie Weil, Clara Miller, Nel- lie Bond, Maude Hubbel ‘ons Ella Hall, The leading roles in the masque were as- sumed by Misses Debby Ware and Caro- line Rumbold. Between the “Masque of the Ages” and “My Awful Chum,’ dainties and confec- tions were served to the audience. ———— “My Awful Chum” in St. Louis, after a run of 139 nights at the Empire Theater, New York.

Nannie Nungester Wants to Remarry Her First Husband. Nannie Nungester, a domestic at the Eleventh Street Hotel, is a matrimonial ac- robat. Five years ago she married Henry Winklemeyer at McLeansboro, Ill. Two years later Henry Nungester, an L. & N. section hand, came along. He proposed marriage and put up the money for her divorce from Winklemeyer. The divorce was granted and Nannie came to St. Louis with the section hand. By and by Winkle- meyer blew into town. Nannie thought she would Hke to have him back again. She mentioned if to Nungester. He hadn't any objections. Would he put up the money for the divorce? At that he swore. He put up money ‘to get her, but he wouldn’t put up money to lose her. Nannie is still hopeful that will pay the price. He lives on Eugenia and Twenty-first streets, Winklemeyer at 2205 North Ninth street. TOLD SHE HAD TO WORK. Ida Schell Bought 10 Cents’ Worth of Paris Green.

THE QUALITY yn WILL BE KEPT UP TO THE STANDARD, OF THB THE ALBRIGHT BOYS ARE BAD. EACH HAS A BRUTAL MURDER TO ANSWER FOR. NARROWLY ESCAPED LYNCHING Young Mississippi County Outlaws Who Slew Their Sister’s Hus- band and an Officer. Joe and Jim Albright are in the St. Louls jail for their health. They are mere boys. Joe, the younger, is only 17 years old, while Jim has barely at- tained his majority. Each has killed his man, and s0.cold- blooded were the murders that a mob was forming in Mississippi County, Mo., where the crimes were committed, to take the boys from the county jail and swing them to a limb. Sheriff Frank Sterrette of Charleston, whose prisoners the Albright brothers were, feared that his prison would not prove strong enough to protect the youthful mur- derers, and he slipped them out of jail and caught a night train for 8t. Louis, arriv- ing here early Saturday. He turned the prisoners over to Jailer Butch Wagner, in whose bastile their safety is assured, Joe Albright shot and instantly killed his brother-in-law, Isaac Large, in a grocery store at Bertrand, Mo., on Sept. 16, 1596. Jim Albright shot George S. Elliott, the Prosecuting Attorney of Mississippi County, Tuesday evening, Elliott died Friday. So incensed were the people of the county that they determined to lynch the Albright boys. A mob was organizing when Sheriff Sterrette slipped away with his prisoners. Ever since the murder of Isaac Large last September the Albright boys have been outlaws. They were together when Large was killed, and while Joe admits the killing the authorittes wanted Jim as an accessory to the crime The Albrights lived with their parents on a farm 6ne and one-half miles from Ber- trand, Mo. Isaac Large, 8 years old, was a neighboring farmer, who married a sister of Joe and Jim Albright. From the time of the marriage there was trouble betwe: en Large and the Albright boys. There were numerous quarrels, but no open fight until last nopenenee when Large was killed ed by Joe Albright That afternoon Large was in the post-of- fice at Bertrand when the Albright boys en- tered. Joe made an insulting remark. Large started for Joe, and Jim signified pay eto | sion of participating in the gh *. pec be tors inzerfered and the go ge re separated.

With another a stg. near ned to capture the young the Mattingly house. When he knocked on the door and demanded admittance in the name of the law there was no response. He knew Albright was there and he broke in the door. With his revolver drawn he entered. bby Albright stood in the corner of the room fe had a double-barreled shot-gun in his hand. Elliott called for him to sur- render. Albright answered by firing. The contents of the gun struck Elliott and he fell to the floor. As he did so he shot at Albright, but the bullet went wild. As Elliott lay on the floor Albright shot again, tearing his victim’s left arm from the shoulder. Elliott was removed to his home in Charleston, where he died Thursday. Al- bright feared lynching and gave himself up. The brothers are short of stature. Jim is clean shaven, while there is not a trace of beard on the face of Joe. They wear broad-brimmed white hats and their trous- ers are tucked in their boot tops. They do not appreciate their position, and smoked unconcernedly while talking to a Post-Dis- patch reporter. Jim admits killing the prosecuting attor- ney, and does not regret it. “The fellow pretended to be a friend Of mine,’ he said, ‘“‘while he was really my worst enemy. I had nothing to do with Killing Lange, and he was simply perse- cuting me. He had no business trying to take me, That's the Sheriff's business, and I would not have resisted him.’ Joe spoke up and said: “No, Jim had nothing to do with killing Large. I did it, and I am glad of it. And you can say that we were not afraid of being lynched. That was all ta'k. The Sheriff was scared, but he is pretty easily scared.” Jim says thatall the time the officers were looking for him he was around his home. He was not out of the county, but was protected by his friends and relatives. Cee THE BUSIEST SHOE STORE IN ST. LOUIS, BOEHMER’S Mark-Down Sale. Only two more weeks before taking inventory.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 16.—With the usual Friday adjournment of the Leg- islature and the departure of many of the Senators and Representatives for their homes to spend Sunday, comes a dull in- terim in life at Jefferson (City which is drightened by countless reminiscent stories in which the few remaining statesmen in- Guige. On Saturday there may always be found ea crowd of old-timers in the lobby at the Madison House and other hotels. Some of these story-tellers have been mak- ing biennial pilgrimages to Jefferson City for the past quarter century, and their fund of unwritten history is voluminous. Jefferson City, in days gone by, has been the temporary headquarters of many promi- ment men and interesting characters. Among those of the past who have made people talk of them, perhaps the most prominently mentioned is the late Nat C. Dryden, the great criminal] lawyer, whose brilliant career came ‘to a close at St. Louis @ few months ago. A crowd of Missourians —several of them well over on the shady side of life—sat in the Madison House last might and talked of Dryden. They took a retrospective view of Dryden's career in JACKETS AND WAISTS. Second Floor.

One of the group of story-tellers was from the old Geventh, now the Ninth Con- gressional District, and he related. how Nat Dryden’s work landed Dick Norton in Congress after a bitter fight in which Judge Elijah Robinson, then of Pike County, but now of Kansas City, was thre Lincoln Coun- ty etatesman’s chief opponent. ‘Norton's friends fought a great fight for him,” said @ member of the party, “but it now appears that their sweetness was wasted on the desert air, for when the trying hour came Norton went away after false gods and followed Palmer and Buckner. No wonder that Dryden had ceased to agree with his erstwhile partner, and that the friendship between them had been severed months preceding the death of ‘the brilliant Dryden.” “Dryden remained true to Democracy,” remarked another member of the party, “ag but for ill health would have made a gweries of speeches in favor of the regular Democratic ticket. But death came and he went away, being spared the knowledge of the McKinley annex convention held at Indianapolis, where men Who once were credited with being Democrats swore alle- giance to.the golden calf.” “Poor Dryden!" was the sentiment ex- pressed by all those who talked of him. Faults he had, but his strongest characteris- tic was his devotion to his friends. Thou- eands of stories are told of him that are not pertinent fof newspaper publication, but every one here who mentions his name has @ kind word for the memory of the brilliant Missourian. In his palmy days here at the State capital, Waller Young, who died a few weeks ago, was a most intimate friend of Dryden. As is well known Dryden was inclined to be con- vivial,while Young,who was then in the Sen- ate, was not slow himself,although he always kept well within the bounds of propriety. Over a decade ago Dryden and Young were here together. At that time there lived in Jefferson City a man by the name of Bill McLair, more particularly known as “Whispering Bill.”” McLair, who is now in the service of the Government at Kansas City, was in that day a man of many re- sources and he concelved the idea that in order to give a tinge of broadness and sort of @ cosmopolitan air to the capital city there should be a faro bank started here. Accordingly he called on Dryden, go the Story goes, for money with which to begin @perations. Dryden happened to not have the necessary amount, but, true to his gen- erous spirit, said he would raise it. Calling on Waller Young he made the negotiations and met with a Liberal response. The ‘‘roli’”’ was entrusted to ‘Whispering Bill,”’ and he opened his faro bank in a room adjoining a Saloon near the Madison ‘House, which is now used as a shoemaker shop. At that time Sam Major of Howard County was in Jefferson City and was one of the most convivial and friendly of all, and there also lived here-a fellow named Kearney Par- gone, who was a friend of the circle. Major and Parsons both laughed when they heard of the faro bank, and after a brief discus8ion they decided to go down and play it. They Played, so the old-timers say, and in a short time the capital stock of the bank had vanished. McLair became disgusted and made no further attempt to run a faro bank in the capital city of Missour!. It is said that Young was not aware to what pur- pose the money was going to be turned when he responded to Dryden's request for a loan So this is the story of the first and only faro bank that ever existed in Jefferson City. Of this circle of noted characters only Mc- Lair is ving. Young died at St. Joseph, Dryden at St. Louls, and Parsons at Jeffer- gon City. Custom is gradually changing so that life at the Missouri capital is not what &t formerly was. In fact, the convivial and Sporting element is on the wane, and the “high roller’ is now regarded eas a back @umber. -— — THE CRUEL WAR IS OVER. Chief Clerk Green Seems to Have Queered Himself. Gpecial te the Pret-Dinpatcn.

The loss to the public revenue sustained from this source is est!mated at about $1,000,000 for the pres- ent liquor tax year. This evasion of the law, or at least the evasion of its plain in- tent, should be made impossible by legisla- tion, otherwise the State’s revenue will be still further seriously impaired and law- abiding liquor dealers, discouraged, be driven by unfair competiton to practice the same subterfuge and evasion.”’ The summary given in the report of tax certificates issued and _ receipts therefor during the firs’ six months of the liquor tax year beg:nning May 1 and ending Oct.. 31, 18%, shows: Total certificates issued, 29,211; total cancelations, 1,628: number of certifi- cates in force Nov. 1, 18%, received from certificates, transfers and fines, $11,- 038,322; refunds paid, $255,748; refunds due and to be paid, $85,681; County Treasurer's fees, $56,484; transfers to Nov. 1, 1896, 1,199; gross collections after payment of refunds and Treasurer's. fees,. $10,640,408; amount of localities’ share, . $7,084,338; State’s share; $3,556, 089. THIEF IN SOCIETY Diamond Tiara Disappeared at a Re- ception Attended by the Four Hundred. YT FOE « 27,050; Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Capt. O’Brien’s de- tectives are looking for a daring thief who stole a costly diamond tiara at a wedding reception among the Four Hundred Nov. 28. The 'theft was only reported to the de- tective bureau a few days ago, and the name of the owner of the jewel is kept secret. Many wealthy persons were at the recep- tion. The tiara belonged to the bride’s mother, It had a centerpiece containing twenty-eight diamonds and nine pearls in pear shape. The diamonds weighed in all 6 karats and the pearls 28 grains. The wearer of the tiara dropped it during the reception :and its loss was discovered before the party had separated. There was a great number of guests in the rooms at the time, and, although a search was made, no trace was found of the costly bit of jewelry. The scene was embarrassing. The guests were all people of high social position. The idea that any of them would be tempted by a diamond tiara or would be so weak as to yield .to such temptation was not en- tertained for a moment. Neither were the house servants suspected. There was no one to suspect, and the owner of the orna- ment and her husband were eure that it had only been lost. The guests departed and a careful search was made, but the tiara was not in the house. The owner had worn it on her head when the function began, and it had dis- appeared. The servants declared that they had not seen it, and finally the conclusion was reached that the ornament had been stolen after all. So on Wednesday, nearly two months after the event, the husband of the owner called on Capt. O’Brien and told the story. Capt. O’Brien set his men at work among the pawnshops, but he has not much hope, after eo long a delay, of recovering the costly toy. It is his belief that the tiara was picked up by one of the guests and not by any professional thief. AIMED AT CANADIAN CLERICS. Bill Forbidding Ecclesiastical Censure of Voters.

Resuming the talk about himself, he said: “If the fight ‘{s in Mexico I shail train in Texas or the South somewhere, but as I will be in Kansas City it will be easy for me to go in any direction. I have picked up a great training partner; his name is Ruhlin from Akron, O. They tell me he is a big, strong, raw-boned fellow who can give me lots of hard work.

Base ball in 1897 promises to have'a very prosperous season. Preparations are already being made by a good many of the clubs to get started for the coming fray. Manager Pat Tebeau, who ig at Hot S rings, is en- thusiastic over the prospect of Gein to the famous Arkansas resort for the tra ning of his Cleveland Spiders.’ He says in a letter, received yesterday by George Munson, that the weather down there is simply saiubrious, and that overcoats are out of style there. He says the atmospheric conditions wear better than overcoats. Manager Tebeau is in correspondence with Col. Henry Town- send, General Passenger and Ticket Agent of the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mounta‘n Road, to take a spring trip over the latter's some time in March, making Hot Springs the central point and training grounds. Tebeau wants either the Chicagos or Bostons to take the trip with Cleveland, and the prospects are either one or the other of these teams will accompany Cleve- and. President James A. Hart of the Chicago Club will be in St. Louis some time this week en route to Hot Springs, where he will go to enjoy the delights of the Springs during this Season of the year. roads, Three Regular Games Scheduled for To-Day. The season for the championship of the City League is only about half over,with the Cycling Club and St. Teresag tie for first place and the Diels only one game behind.

THE SOUTHERNER WON. Daley Jack Everhardt Whipped Billy Ernst at New York. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Jack Everhardt of New Orleans knocked out Billy Ernst of Brooklyn in the twelfth round at the Broad- way Athletic Club to-night. The men were announced to go fifteen rounds at 137 pounds. The first three rounds were rather tame and caused the crowd to shout der.sively. The fourth round was very little better than the preceding ones, but the boxers warmed up a little toward the end of the round, as the men were led to anteniee there was no purse in sight unless they fought ‘‘for keeps.”’ Ernst landed a hard upperess on the stomach in the early part of the fifth round and Jack put in two half-hook blows on rag face. After thin the fighting was etter. In the eighth nd Everhg@rdt broke Ernst’s nose, and after that the Southerner had the better of.the mill. In the twelfth Everhardt feinted with his left and crossed his r.ght on the jaw, putting Ernst down in a heap. He Was unable to get up, and was counted out. en " CORBETT AND FITZ. Dai. Stuart Said’ to Have Selected a Site in Nevada. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 16.—There 1s considerable talk in Sacramento to the ef- fect that the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight will be pulled off in Nevada. A gentleman from Reno to-day said that the telegraphic companies had been making inquiries as to the cost of putting a line in somewhere between Carson and Reno, and that Dan Stuart had been over the ground. The battle ground chosen is said to be the ruins of an old fort or church between Reno and Carson, of which the walls are intact and which. can be easily roofed. CYCLE TRACK OWNERS MEET.

East St. Louis Result Still Very Much in Doubt. The very inclement weather of last night deterred a great many from attending the six-day go-as-you-please race at Heim’s Hall, East St. Louis. The contestants still remaining are in good condition and the closing hour to. night may show a material change in the reiative positions of the runners. The men all covered their hundredth mile last night and were given a.b’g reception, Billy Green is closing on the leader, ‘‘Cow- boy” Smith. Dick Kennedy and Harry Miller are making big efforts to pass the leaders. “Cowboy’’ Smith covered his hundredth mile in 12 hours and 49 minutes. An exhibition speed walk ef half-mile by “The Cowboy’’ was covered in 3 minutes and 11 seconds. Kennedy went 3 miles, cross-country style, in 26 minutes, and Fred Ground, a local walker, went a half-mile in 3 Minutes and 50 seconds. To-day, the closing day, will mark the finish of a hard fought race, the result of Which is still in doubt. The nine hours the men will go to-day will test the'r endurance power to the ut- most. John Oddy of Lawrence, Mass., and Har- ry Stephens of St. Louis, both favorably known in the profession, will walk “speed walks” on this, the closing day, against any one who may wish to compete against them—no ome barred. in addition there will; be a match race for half a mile between two well-known lady enthusiasts. The soaore at the close of the fifteenth hour: “Cowboy” Smith Billy Green Dick Kennedy Harry ‘Miller A Splendid Showing. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 16.—Secretary Price was still busy at a late hour to-night compiling the entries to the spring stakes of the new Louisville Jockey Club. The showing is a magnificent one, the list of en- tries being the largest in the history of the club. The 2-year-old stakes average over 100 each, while the events for the older di- vision of horses will run from 60 to 80 en- tries apiece. Every prominent turf man in the West is represented, while those from the East include such well known names as Phil Dwyer, David Gideon, Wiiliam lLake- land, I. I. McCafferty and others. The $10,- 000 Louisville Futurity promises to be the Star event of the West for 2-year-olds, over 100 of the eligible having made the final payment. They Will Be Punished. Special to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., Jan. 16.—The faculty of the ‘Missouri University have at last de- cided on the punishment of the runaway foot ball team. The team will. be reprimanded by the president of the university. He has summoned the eleven to his office for 9 o’clock Monday morning. George English of Kansas City, the manager of the team, will be suspended indefinitely, as will al*o Tom Shawhan, the captain of the team. Frank M. Patterson, the coach, will not be allowed in the fduture to participate in ath- letic events, or, in other words, coach the team next year. Patterson is a Yale man from New York, and this ruling is decided- ly unpopular, as it was about decided that he would coach the team next year. Hildebrandt’s Victory. Mr. C. C. Hildebrandt of Meacham Arms Co. won the second prize in the compett- (tion for the most meritorious ride during 1896. The prizes were offered by the Mor- gan & Wright Co. of Chicago. The first prize was $0 in merchandise, second $25 in merchandise and the third a pair of Mor- gan & Wright tires. Mr. Hildebrandt re- ceived his prize for his famous ride to De- Soto last October. The contest was open to the world. The conditions oonsidered were the weather, distance and character of the road. 7 To Encourage Trotters. LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 16.—Secretary Wilson announced to-night that the Ken- tucy Trotting Horse Breeders’ Association will open the Kentucky Futurity, for foals of 1897, to close March 16, and guarantee it worth $16,000, the same as last year, not- w thstanding the exceedingly | ght breeding operations of 1896. The bold stand taken in the face of almost certain heavy loss will prove of incalculable benefit to harness horse breeders. } Guarding the Trophy. TRENTON, N.

FOR COMMERCIAL REASONS. Business Relations With the United States Weaken Their Fealty to Madrid. KEY WEST, Fia., Jan. 16.—The following advices have just been received from Ha- vana: La Lucha, in an editorial, says that if Spain accepts the intervention of the Uni- ted States, even though it should be indl- rect and friendly in plan and scope, the Cuban reforms must necessarily be in dan- ger because of the fomenting of the annex- ation idea amongst European Spaniards, who for some time past have felt in sym- pathy with such a movement. This was shown, according to the edito- rial, in 1864,-when a large number of Span- ilards and Europeans, representing a great part of the wealth of Cuba met to give form and expression to this idea. They could not realize this object because of the opposition of the Cubans who were invited to attend the meeting. The article also says that the Cubans feel jealousy and repulsion toward the Americans. This is shown in all their acts. The Cubans never have felt anything ex- cept the pronounced Cuban sentiment. On the other hand European Spaniards since 1850 have shown their liking for all Americans, believing that their interests lie in that direction. They are also of the opinion that labor would be better guaran- teed under American rule than by any pos- sible solution along the lines of diminished Spanish sovereignty. Proceeding, the editorial says, that for many years something mysterious has been attracting European Spaniards toward the Yankees. Possibly this is due to the in- stinct of self-preservation and continued commercial relations and business inter- course between the Spaniards residing in Cuba and their correspondents in America. They feel alarmed lest in the future ‘their business will not be dependent upon Madrid and they would conelude the existing con- dition-of aflairs by giving form to the an- nexationist ideas already in existence, al- though rather dormant. They would be glad to arouse among all higher classes of ‘the Spanish element the sleeping idea of annexation. This would be so productive and transcendant that in a few years it would evoke an inevitable ex- plosion of annexation ideas which no power on earth would be able to contend with when once developed. The article has caused a profound sensa- tion throughout Cuba. Henry Delgado Is Worse. HAVANA, Jan. 16.—Henry Delgado, the American who is a prisoner at the hospital Consul General Lee thas requested that he be removed at once to a better room, where Dr. Burgess can have additional facilities for taking care of him. MINERS’ CONVENTION ENDED. Several Decisions About Wages Were Reconsidered. COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 16.—The National Convention of the United Mine Workers pulled itself out of a tangle at midnight and adjourned sine die. Just before the afternoon adjournment the delegates were surprised by the announce- ment that the operators had refused to meet them in joint conference next Monday according to arrangement. The refusal of the operators was due to the action of the convention in prohibiting district. officers from making wage con- tracts with the operators. The convention found itself in the position of having unwittingly forced a strike upon the miners and a committee was appointed to report a plan which would bring order out of chaos. The time up to 12 o’clock was spent in discussing the report of the committee, which was finally adopted. First the demand of the convention for the new scale of prices to go into effect Feb. 1 was rescinded. Second, the resolu- tion prohibiting settlements by districts was rescinded and the entire matter of prices was placed in the hands of the dis- trict a eenserer and the National Executive Board, This resolution was adopted in the first place against the earnest protest of every official of the order. Third, it was decided to use every effort to secure an advance in the mining rate from Dearmit of the Pittsburg district, RECEIVERS APPOINTED. For Two Branches of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Property. CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 16.—On petttion of; Myron T. Herrick to-day Judge Taft ap- pointed that gentleman and Robert Blick- endorfer receivers of the following two large companies: First, The Wheeling, Lake Erie & Pitts- burg Coal Co. in Jefferson county, Nabilities, bonded debt $846,000; other debts $210,000; total $1,066,000; assets, 10,000 acres of coal land with bullidings and mining equipments, Second, the Wheeling & Lake Erie Coal] Co., abilities and assets not given, The petition says that the Wheeling & Lake Erie company, for which rece!vers were appointed yesterday, holds two-thirds of the stock of these two coal companies. It also states incidentally, that the indebt- edness of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Raj}- way Co., that went into the hands of the re. ceavers yesterday, is $320,000. Mr. Herrick filed his bond, $125,000, to-day. Mr. Blickendorfer will file his bond Monday. MOB CONTROLS A TOWN. Three Deaths During a Reign of Terror in Byron, Ga.

A posse of men has left for Byron to re-open the telegraph office. Bhe cause of the trouble is unknown.

Then Boss Filley’s ambition grew like a mushroom in a dark cellar. He soon “laid his pipes’’ and captured the State Repub- lican Committee. He was made its Chair- man. He only stepped out of that position to give it to one of his serfs when he was made National Republican Committeeman. intrenched in pohtical power in both State and city, Boss Filley made and unmade Congressmen, Mayors and city officials of the Republican faith. His despotic sway in the Republican politics of Missouri was equaled in no State, except by the Camer- ons in Pennsylvania, Boss Filley has even delighted in these latter years to demonstrate his power on the slightest occasion. When men who have been Mayors, and others who have been Congressmen, called at the door of the Mosque they were met by a Senegambian servant and often required to cool their heels for hours in the hallway béfore being ushered up the stairway and into His Maj- esty’s presence in the Holy of Holes. But an evil star has flitted tnto the heay- ens above the Mosque. The gray-haired Muezzin now ‘pounds his typewriter vicious: ly and sends out written edicts calling the faithful to prayer. But the number of ob. sequious worshipers has dwindled from what it was in Years gone by. After a reign of twelve years as National Republican Committeeman Boss Filley was defeated for that position at the Nationa] Republican Convention in Minneapolis, in 1892, Richard C. Kerens succeeded him. Mr. Kerens was the recognized leader of the Silk Stockings, so-called in contradistinction to the Hoodlums, over whom Boss Filley reigned. The Silk Stockings, representing the aris- tocratic element of the Republican party {n Missouri, are regarded as the revolters who protest against the Filley gtyle of bossism. The Bilks took control of the State Re- publican Committee in 1892 also. el But “De Ole Man” was not put to sleep. Reseniful and sore over defeat, he renewed the fight against the Silks with greater activity and bitterness than he had ever shown before. In January, 1894, he appeared with his cohorts at the State Republican League Convention at Springfield and capt- uréd it with ease. the trocha of Silk B After thus passing Stockings he soon had them on the run. A few months later he captured the State Committee, and was again made its chatr- man, and has held the position ever since _ Flushed with these swo victories Boss Filley’s war whoop, “We've got ‘em.” was heard in all parts of the State.

Mrs. Bowen is also Secretary of the Woman's Political Econ- omy League, Mrs. M. W. Calkins the Corresponding Secretary and Mrs. G. L. Werth President. Mrs. Werth called the meeting to order at 8 o'clock and stated that its object was to devise means for securing the passage of the measure requiring that six members of the Schoo! Board be women. The bill had been framed and next in order was the matter of securing signatures to a petition for its passage and to raise funds to further it. It was subsequently explained by Mrs. Werth that not a cent would be spent through the legislative body. Mrs, Werth called on the ladies present to take copies of the petition and secure Gignatures and also to raise funds. The la- dies expressed their willingness to do so and it was suggested that the present School Directors be asked to sign the petition. “Yes,"’ said Mrs. Minor Meriwether, who Was present as a member of the League, “I think the directors ought to ‘heartily support the project and pay the expenses of songs | the bill through, because of the saving of school funds that would be ac- complished by women directors.”’ Mrs. Meriwether was not speaking earcastically, either, about the present directors desiring to save ‘the public’s money. “When ought our committee to go to Jefferson City to work for the bill?’’ quer- fied Mrs. President Werth. “TI would advise that they go as quickly as possible,”’ said Mrs. Meriwether. “It is hard to get new ideas into the legislative mind and this work might require time.” This was agreed to by all present, and Mrs. Juliet Cunningham suggested that the preachers of St. Louis be approached on the matter and induced to preach from their pulpits the necessity for women being ad- mitted to the School Board as directors. “Now, I have Mr. Tyrrell’'s name on my petition already,’’ said Mrs. Cunningham. ‘He lives right next door to me, and Dr. George lives across the street from my house. I'll speak to them both. Mrs. Par- cells, haven’t you a minister you can see?’ “I have no preacber,’’ replied Mrs. Par- cells. “I’m a Presbyterian, but I admire Dr. Cave greatly and attend his church us- ually.’’ “Why! Dr. Cave won't do,” rejoined Mrs. Cunningham. ‘He doesn’t even believe in the men voting.”’ ' “Wiy, how do you know that?” inquired Mrs. Parcels. a “T went to his howse and he told me so, explained Mrs. Cunningham, triumphantly. ‘Well!’ ejaculated Mrs. Minor Meri- wether, ‘“what does he propose to substitute for the voting method?” “T don’t know. He didn’t say,” explained Mrs, Cunningham. “Tl don’t know who have preachers and who haven't,” said Mrs. President Werth. ‘"There are ministers in the city broad mind- ed enough to enter into this crusade ener- gotically.”” “No one has to be broad minded to sup- port measure,”’ declared Mrs. Meri- wether, “unless they were born without a mother. Anyone who thas had a mother knows that women are better able than men to control children, especially young child- ren The business of the meeting then reverted to securing signatures to the petition “T for one propose to charge every person 10 cents for the privilege of signing ny ,” eaid Mrs. ren, “and I am going to right now with the reporters here.’ And sure enough she dix.

EAST ST. LOUIS. Joseph Smith, charged with abducting Clara Ozier, aged 16, from her home at Blackwell Station, Mo., was held for the Grand Jury in Justice Wyatt's court Sat- urday, and sent to the Belleville jail. The girl was taken to Belleville to be cared for by the authorities until the final in- vestigation of the case in the Circuit Court, when she will appear as the prosecuting witness. She is a half-witted country girl, and says Smith lured her away from her father, John Ozier, on a promise of mar- riage. Smith is 41 years of age and says he was born in St. Louis, and has been working as a farm hand in St. Louls Coun- ty during the past thirty years.

He Is a Strong Man, Afraid to Work, and Lets His Wife Sup- port Him. John J. White, the hysterical hypochon- driac of 5222 North Broadway, is making it interesting for the Dispensary and Hos- pital physicians. He is @ healthy man, with a robust constitution, who expects to die at any minute. White is a laborer, but does not work much because he thinks he cannot stand work. He is married and his wife earns most of the living for both. He is 2 years old, and his imaginary troubles have kept him in misery for the last five years. White spends all his money with physicians, and is a regular patient at the Dispensaries besides. His trouble is all in his mind. Lately he has grown desperately worse. Friday night at 11 o’clock he went into the North End Dispensary trembling from head to foot. He BPH HOUSTON'S IMPERIAL LBAGUE, CCLORED BRETHREN ORGANIZE FOR FINANCIAL RECOGNITION.

The Chief Eagle was volatile last night when a Post-Dispatch reporter asked about the new club. “Yes,” he said, “we're going to form a club, and it’s going to be a big one. It will be to the colored man what the Merchant’s League Club is to the white man, You see, we've been working long enough without recognition.

He even caught his breath with jerks. He felt sure that he was gone unless he could reach a physician instantly. He didn’t have a cent of money to pay car fare and had to walk. White’s case has puzzled Dr. Randall and he has examined him carefully several times to see if there really was anything the mat- ter with him. He has never been able to discover any sign of a disease. Friday nignt the doctor sounded White’s lungs, listened to his heart, counted his pulse and examined nearly every organ in his body. He was sound as a dollar and his excitement was the only unusual symptom. Dr. Randall gave him some medicine, but White was afraid to go home, He didn’t like the idea of going into the hospital as an invalid and being confined to a bed, but he wanted to be constantly under the care of a physician.

To-day I can truthfully say I Am a Well Man in Every I have gained eighteen pounds in weight during the treatment. I pains and the Fever of Malaria has left me.

Church aga h “rhs Pinions” Social Fuerst and Messrs. Mic n Oexner wi treatment before February 1st will be treated until cured at the uniform rate of $3 a month, all medicines included. This applies to Deafness and all dis- eases. The opportunity is absolutely The purpose of the $3 rate we believe has been made clear. In any event it has lacked neither repetition or emphasis in these col- umns. : When Doctors Copeland and Thompson gave to the public the New [reatment, the wonderful treatment which has thrilled the country with its record of cures in Deaf- ness and in deep-seated and difficult diseas- [ es, it was their intention to give everybody an opportunity to obtain its benefits. They found many were deprived because of the knowledge of the cost. While Doctors Copeland and Thompson could not reduce their fees—would not do so, in fact—they did for the month of December aboligh them al- together, giving their services free and charging only for the medicines used at the nominal rate of $3 a month. During the concluding days of December the crowds that thronged the offices were 80 great that only a small proportion could be placed under treatment. Before the close of the month, realizing that it would be impossible to even begin to care for all the people, Doctor Copeland published no- tices requesting patients to wait until the next month, stating that the rate would be extended for one month. This extension Is @ generous and ample one. It covers the entire month of January, and will give all who desire the opportunity which Doc- tor Copeland desired that none should be deprived of. While there Is abundant time before the close of the month for all who wish to take advantage of this opportunity, Doctor Cope- land desires especially to avotd the crowd¢ ing and confusion that was incident to the concluding days of December. He there- fore wishes. this statement to convey @ two-fold message to the people. First—This is absolutely and positively the last opportunity under the §3 rate. Such an opportunity ha» never been given before and will never be given again. It will under no circumstances or on nO COn- ditions be extended or continued after Feb- uary 1st. : Second_—Doctor Copeland requests that those desiring to take advantage of this op- do so at once; that they do not wait untilthe concluding days of the month. This request 18 made to obviate the crowdin of the ofiices the last days of the month. He will be grateful.to those patients who wish to take advantage of the opportunity tf they will co-operate with him tn this regard. GAINED 18 POUNDS DURING TREATMENT FOR MALARIA AND CATARRH.

In Measles, Scarlet Fever, Bronchitis and Pneumonia the throat is involved, ; and the inflammation extending from the throat into the Eustachian Tubes, causing Deafness, is of a Catarrhal na- ture. Thus the phrase ‘‘Catarrhal Origin” in the MONOGRAPH ON DEAFNESS is used in the scientifie and not in the popular senseia which Catarrh is so commonly regarded as simply a disease of the head.

NOONAN BELIEVES CITY GOVERNMENT SHOULD FAVOR THE RICH MAN. FRIEND OF CORPORATIONS. Backed for the Mayoralty by Corpora- tions, as; Is Ziegenhein on the Other Side. With the approach of the spring campaign the hand of the corporations reaches out and pulls the political strings. The street car companies, backed by other corporations with municipal axes to grind, have been the dominant force in local pol- ftics for a number of years. They make no distinction between parties. They have their tools on both sides. They make their fight at the primaries. It is a matter of indiffer- ence after that who wins at the polls. Through their control of ward committee- men and primaries the street railroads name practically every member of the House of Delegates, and usually control a working majority in the Council. The only thing needed to complete their grip on the city government is to control the Mayor. Naturally the corporations will try to dic- tate who shall be the next Mayor of St. Louis. They need him im their business. It makes no difference what party he be- longs to, 6o that he will serve their inter- ests. Just now they are figuring on two men, Ziegenhein in the Republican fold, and Ed Noonan in the Democratic party. They will lend all their energies to see both these men nominated. They don’t care which wins. Dither will do. Any other might not suit eas well. Noonan as a corporetion favorite is a strange 8 tacle to the men who voted him out of office eight years oye. He wears his new toga unblushingly. He let his old ene- my, Ed Budler, the boss who connects the moneyed interests with the machine for practical purposes, announce him as the party’s leading candida™. His own views of the situation and his at- ptude towards the nomination are interest- ng. fi am going to be frank,’’ he said, when asked for the platform upon which he was making his canvass. ‘I'm not a candidate pfor the office—I don’t know whether I'll run or ‘Why, Col. Ed Butler says you're in the oot now and he is reckoned a pretty shrewd ellow.”’ “Oh, he is not eo clever as some people think.. He fought me at every point in my career and I beat him every time until four roams ago. I'd have beaten him then if it adn’t been for the combination of Bern- heimer, Bannerman and De Menil, all against me. They had to kill me before they could kill each other.’’ he ex-Mayor stopped here to reflect a moment and then he went on: “But about my candidacy. I will proba- bly not decide positively on my course un- til about the middle of March. That's the way I made my fight eight years ago. I called a meeting of my friends, I think it was on March 17, and asked them if they would back me in the race for the office. They said they would, and I went out for it. I shall probably do the same thing this year. I may hire the Exposition and get 3,000 or 4,000 people together, and ask them if they want me to run. If I get the right sort of answer I'll go in. If I don’t I won’t.’’ “Then, suppose you get the right sort of answer and make the rate, what will be your platform?’ 5 “The people know my platform. It will be the same that I stood on during my former administration. I believe in mak- ing St. Louis a welcome place for men with money to invest. That’s what we want—men with money. I’d rather have one man with capital come to St. Louis than 1,000 tramps. I believe in offering such men opportunities to increase their wealth —make it easy for them to establish themselves, “Smooth the way for the man of wealth. That’s what I believe in; because he is the man that builds up the city. “Would you be in favor of increasing the city’s bonded indebtedness?’’ “IT have ‘talked in favor of that proposition for three years. However, I1 believe that an issue of $5,000,000 would be sufficient, in- stead of $10,000,000, as suggested by the pres- ent Mayor. We need the money for our public institutions and for our streets. The institutions for ‘the care of the city’s sick and intervene were built for a city of 300,000. We have outgrown them and they are overcrowded. We need new buildings, well built and comfortable, but not magnifi- cent. There is no necessity for display in the approaches and exteriors of ‘these insti- tutions. They should be made serviceable rather than artistic. ‘We need a new hospital, but why should we make it a fashionable affair. Make it clean and comfortable. If people want to See art let them look at the Grecian col- umns at the Court-house or at the Union Station. The magnificent entrance to the Insane Asylum is a waste of money. “We need money for our streets, too. All our streets should be well paved, and not with brick, either, that I hear are bein used in some parts of the town. A lot o our alleys are being paved with brick. I think macadam is good enough for them, All the money that can be afforded should be put into the streets. ' “It seems to me that $5,000,000 is plenty with which to accomplish all the necessary ends. The city is in excellent shape to float bonds. It can be done very easily owing to the sound business basis it was put on during my administration, ‘There is still another way in which *he revenues might be increased, if I have been correctly informed. All that part of St. Louis which has been increased in value so wonderfully by the develapment of the street car lines has not been properly assessed, so I have been told. Property-owners, es- ectally those west of Vandeventer avenue, ave been enriched by the growth of the city and are not paying taxes accordingly. Old St. Louis is paying all the taxes. his is an injustice and shoyki be remedied.” “Are you in favor of 3 or 4 cent car fare rates?” “T am not: that fs In the sense that this fellow Pingree is. He is too radical. If I were Mayor, and it could be shown to me that the street-car companies were mak- ing exhorbitant profits, I would be in favor of a lower rate, but I would be dis- posed to go slow in this matter. “These companies in St. Louis are young. Their backers have risked their money, used their brains and worked hard. They have done wonders for the city and de- serve compensation. “It does not seem to me that 8 or 10 per cent on their investment is too much for the roads, and unless it could be shown that they were making more than this, I should be opposed to lowering the rate.” “Do you favor the eale of franchises to the highest bidder?’ M his head and r.

John O’Brien, the old crossing master at Fourth and Poplar strees, has two cork legs. Mr. O’Brien also has a great thirst. Friday night Mr. O’Brien heard that a man who lived out in the West End and who owed him $4, was willing to settle up. He started out to collect, but began cashing his dream in advance. Along towards midnight O’Brien had filled the hollowness of hig limbs until they re- fused to obey his inclination. Finally they fell down on him. O’Brien went with them. He could kick, but he protested so loud he awoke a policeman . He was bundled ne & patrol wagon and taken to the sta- Saturday Judge Peabody heard the of- ficer 8 story. It included a etatement about O'Brien's artificial appendages. How did you happen to be lying on the sidewalk?’’ inquired the Judge. “TIT was off my iegs, Your Honor,” said O’Brien, The sympathetic Judge was about to dis- ciate him when City Attorney Clare ex- ained. The Judge said $10, but stayed it. DROVE TACKS IN THE NICE WALLS. EDWARD C. RICE SAYS JOHN C. MEEKS DID THIS THING. AND HE SUES FOR DAMAGES. Litigation Over the Treatment a West End House Received From a Tenant. The indiscriminate use of tacks and the promiscuous application of floor polish are likely'to cause a red hot legal war between two prominent families. It has already resulted in a suit for dam- ages and both parties to the litigation say they will fight the case to the bitter end. The plaintiffs are Mr. and Mrs. Edward C. Rice and the defendant is John C. Meeks, presidént of the Meeks-West Gro- cery Company. The Rices allege that Mr. Meeks did $1,000 worth of damage to the house at 3649 West Pine street, which he leased from them and occupied for two years. They filed sult for that amount yes- terday through their attorney, Lugene McQuillin. The petition etates that Mr. Meeks leased the house on Nov. 1, 1894, and occupied it for 23 months. The Rices state that when Meeks leased the house it was stipulated that the premises were to be surrendered in as x condition as when first leased, excepting natural wear and decay. They also say that it was expressly provided in the contract that no nails, screws or tacks were to be driven into the hardwood or’, walls or woodwork of the house. They claim yw Mr. Meeks violated the contract by driving tacks in the walis. They also charge Mr. Meeks with having damaged the hardwood floors A covering them with some kind of floor polish, which they say worked into the floor and de- stroyed the finish. They think $1,000 will cover the damage. The house which Mr. Meeks Is alleged to have damaged is one of the handsomest on fashionable West Pine boulevard. It is of the Colonial style of architecture and occu- ies a commanding position west of the St. Louts University property. Mr. Rice is a well-known civil engineer. He has owned the house for years and occu- pied it before Mr. Meeks leased it. While the Meeks family occupied the house the Rices lived at 318 Lindell avenue. They have recently moved bac to the house which is causing the litigation. When Mr. Rice was seen last night he sald: “T have nothing to say éxcept that the charges in the petition are true. Mr. Meeks did not return the property in as good con- dition as it was in when he leaged it, and I have sued him for the amount of the dam- age done.”’ ; Mr. Rice would not say how many tacks Mr. Meeks had driven in the walls and would not go into details about the floor Olish. . OT will say what I have to say when I go into court,” said he, and the rest was silence. Mr. Meeks was seen at his new home, 4334 West Pine street. He had not heard of the suit. After reading a summary of the charges made in the petition he said: “Tt {s an outrage. I kept Mr. Rice's roperty in splendid condition and turned t over to him in first-class shape. If the case comes into court I shall fight it at every point. I cannot say anything now about the details. I merely wish to deny that I in- jured the property.” Mr. Meeks could not be tnduced to say anything further. He would neither affirm or deny the statement that he had violated the contract by driving tacks and using floor paint. LAVIN’S AIRY ATTIRE. Clothes Stolen and He Will Stay in Bed Until They Are Returned. There is a lodging house at 410 North Sev- enth street. One of the inmates its Theo- dore Lavin, a dentist’s helper. Yesterday morning Lavin awoke to find that some thief had stolen his only suit and overcoat and silver watch, valued altogether at $35. Lavin makes this all tion and although Clerk E. A. Price of the lodging house doubts the story a has only theories with which to refute it. Through a crack tn the door Lavin, clad only in his underclothes, told the house- keeper that his clothes had been stolen, and later in the wagh-room, where he was wetting a towel preparatory to washing his face, demanded of Clerk Price that the house reimburse him. At that time he was et'll clad in his underclothes. Price refused him and Lavin, retiring to hia room, remained there all day, partly because it Is unlawful to ap upon the street clad only in one’s underclothes and partly becauee he did not propose to leave until hie elothes were paid for. Laat night vin felt the pangs of hunger and says he succeeded in persuading a friend named Kohn to lend him 4a auit of clothes. He repaites to a neighboring restaurant, wher@ he p ar- took of a hearty supper. When he returned to his room hé restored the bor- rowed clothes to «heir owner and was clad ment wit poselbie.”’ h reporter t their clothes on ander lleged stolen articies. He said besides that use was not responsible anyhow. If vin want to recover ae value of his have left them at the POPE WANTS 10 A VNDICATED. FILES SUIT FOR FALSE ARREST MYSTERY IN THE CASE. Arrested on a Charge of Hiring a Man to Take Photographs of Miss Goodbar on the Street. Robert C. Pope, a manufacturer’s agent, filed suit yesterday afternoon in the Circuit Court against James W. Goodbar, Vice- President of the Scott, Force & Goodbar Hat Co. for $25,000 damages for alleged false arrest and imprisonment, Pope is about 6 years of age. He was arrested last February on complaint of Mr. Goodbar, who alleged that he had disturbed the peace of his 17-year-old daughter, There was much of mystery about the case, which has never been unraveled, but if a trial in this action should be gone into, the facts would probably all be elicited.

SILK LOOMS IDLE The Strike of Weavers in Paterson, N. J., Is Expected to Be- come General —, Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—A strike which has begun in Paterson, N. J., promiises to result early next week in bringing out the 15,000 or 20,000 operatives at the looms of the silk city. This will renew the serious troubles of four or five years ago. The trouble started this time in the big mih of the Gelden Rod 5Bilk Company. The fow began on the day after the election, when protected work- men were supposed to rejoice. When the weavers reached the factory that morning they found that their wages had been re- duced 2 cents a yard, though they wére then getting a cent a yard less than any mill in the city was paying. The day has been when @e Paterson weaver | could make $365 to $46 a week. The foolish men boasted of this to their friends and the result hes been a gradual scaling down of wages until now a man who makes $% a week is considered a wonder. The $8 average goes along till the warp gives out, and while waiting for another the pay stops. Sometimes there are three days of the week when mot a penny is earned, Matters drifted until two weeks ago, when the Golden Rod weavers appointed a committee of five to go to the other mills and find out the prices paid to weavers. They found that even before the reduction the Golden Rod employes had been working for a cent less a yard than other weavers were getting after their reduction. The committee was directed to go directly to the mill Yesterday morning and ask that the wages be restored to the old figure and to report to @ meeting of the union next Monday. The superintendent told the delegates they were discharged. They went to the cdat- room, where all of the operatives crowded around to ask the cause of the trouble. On hearing their report, the whole force of 150 men, women, girls. and boys rushed into the street. With the weavers gone there was no work for the other operatives and they were told they could go home till the strike was over. The only force at work for the renmiainder of the day was an aged Italian and his wife. When the meeting is held on Monday mean will be taken to bring out the mill operators in every other factory. There are three score of factories in the city. This is the beginning of the busy season and the demand has been carefully planned. The heavy work on spring goods is supposed to begin on Jan. 15.

He glanced around him apprehensively as he ascended the steps of the Post-Dispatch Building and sought out the department of the Sunday editor. His auburn hair was disheveled and his clothing well worn. His appearance was that of a man who had been drinking heav- ily and was on the verge of delirium. He stared wildly av everything within range of his vision and finally advanced to the desk where the scribe was sitting. have something here that will startle the world,” he announced, drawing from his side pocket 2 small bottle containing some- thing greatly resembling water with a heavy sediment. His voice was clear and well modulated and his enunciation almost perfect. “My name is Grant Dougnerty and my home is in Guthrie, O.

He appeared to be possessed by a mortal fear that his listener was bent on killing him for the sake of the alleged microbes in his system, Perhaps this fear was accentuated by the fact that a revolver happened to be lying on the desk in front of which they were seated. Finally he said: “Il am not #1 much of a condition to talk right now.

The sisters wish partic- ularly to call the attention of the medical profession to the large @ddition, to the hos- pital recently completed. In ft there are many desirable private rooms which phy- sicilans can secure for such of their pa- tients as re the quiet and skillful nurs- ing obtained only in a well equipped hospi- tal.

Yet thousands, even hundreds of thous- ands, of people every day brand them- selves as beings subservient to the will of another. They wear the livery of their of tneian and wear it meekly, for the sake of their daily bread. Is this"not a mild form of slavery? To do at the dictation of another what would not be done of one’s own free will—what is that but a form of bondage? When the waitress in the downtown res- taurant goes to her daily work and dons the cap and apron she is required to wear— the dress must always be black—she may not view thé matter in the light of compul- sion; in fact, she may not really consider it at all, but when night comes she ex- periences a feeling of relief when she lays aside her badges of servitude and emerges into the street attired in her own clothing. Why? | Because intuitively she feels, al- though she may never have expressed the that she is being op- that she May again appear in the garb her Policemen and firemen come under the head of commercial slavery to the extent that they wear uniforms. True, it is a mild form of slavery, from the fact that they are serving the people, and it is the peo- ple’s badge, therefore, that they wear. Still, they cannot take off their uniforms advance of thé approach of his regular monthly vacation of two days, so that he may appear on the atreets in citizen's clothes. The members of the Salvage Corps are on @ par with many other classes of employes, since they wear the uniform of a corpora- tion. The Salyage Corps is maintained by the fire insurance agencies, and its employes therefore come under the general head of servants. The bellboy is a elave, in a commercial sense, to the will of the hotel proprietor. He must wear a suit of a certain color and texture, With a certain kind of braid and buttons. He must wear it every minute he is on duty, and if he should attempt to go on duty without it he would be summarily discharged. : The same is true, in the higher grade sa- loons, of bartenders. ey are required to appear in jackets, usually white, and to go on duty without them would be a signal for trouble. What is true of the bartender is also true of the barber and the male waiter. They must wear jackets, white or striped, as the employer’s fancy may choose, and none of his men would think for a moment of dis. regarding the order.

The same is true also of tne policeman and the private watchman. The latter, while allowed to wear ordinary clothing, was recently ordered to don a helmet, so that he could be sighted on a dark night, and also carries a club and wears a star, the lettering on which sets forth the fact that he is a private watchman. He is also numbered. Coachmen and footmen who serve in wealthy families are perhaps the most con- icuous examples of men who wear the ivery of another. These functionaries of the household invariably appear in public in “‘rich caparisons and trappings gay,” with the inevitable high silk hat. Their appear- ance is always suggestive of servility. In every one of them the spirit of manhood seems to have been crushed by the knowl- edge of their enslaved condition. They al- Ways. remind one of the popular conception of thé servant in England, where the coach- man and the scullery maid are as far below milord and milady as the stagnant pool is below the constellation of Orion. So prevalent is this feeling that there is probably not a working man in St. Louis who does not look with something akin to pity on the liveried coachman who, perched aloft, sits “like Patience on a monument, smiling at Grief,’”’ and as immovable as the Pyramids. “I may be r,”’ thinks the laboring man to himself, “but thank goodness, I don’t ve to wear the badge of any man!’’ Nor is the poor housemaid in the West End free from the custom of branding that has enveloped the commercial and social world. In many places she must wear a little cap as a sign of her menial position— probably so that strangers who call will not mistake her for the favorite daughter of the household when she answers the doorbell. And what of the waiters at the large hotels, who are not only compelled to wear dress suits in order to hald their positions, nent Ey go through life smooth shaven, as well? Suppose that bank clerks were compelled to wear rings in their noses. Would their compliance with the order be any more slav- ish than that of the waiters when they obey the order to dispense with whiskers, the chief distinguishing characteristic of man and the unfailing exponent and in- signia of manhood? That is a question which the Junior Con- gress ‘or some other argumentative organi« zation might discuss with profi*. Soldiers, both the “‘tin’’ variety and the real thing, must wear uniforms and other paraphernalia to distinguish them from the common herd of mortals, but mos* of them seem to glory in it, probably because the eray wrote, who stands in front of the St. | Nicholas Hotel, in all the glory of brass | ladies do so love brass buttons.

Another class that is seldom seen except | in uniform is the army of elevator boys em- ployed in the large office build:ngs and de- artment stores. Many of them are called ys only for the sake of convenience, for they are grown men and have faces popu- lous with whiskers. However that may be, they don the wni- form of the house for which they are working and wear it from: morning til] night, probably never pausing to think that by so doing, to a certain extent, they are compromising their manhood. The same applies to other attaches of these buildings and of theaters, many of whom wear uniforms or-+badges to distingiush them from other persons. Even the trained nurses in the hospitals, demure locking little women that they usu- ally are, Must needs wear a costume while at work; and the more than eighty young women at Forest Park University are not entirely free, since they are forbidden to wear corsets. And so the list might be extended until the classes included would be greatly mul- tiplied. For many years we have been casting slurs at our English brothers, and deploring the servility of the “‘lower classes” in the mother country, while all the time we have been unconsciously sinking to a point below them in the matter of servi- tude, even in a country whose boast is that every citizen within its boundaries is free. Perhaps the howest point of this ebb is to be found in the large department stores, where clerks and salesmen are known only to their employers by numbers, just as slaves, in ante-bellum times, were known to their masters only by their Christian names. Imagine a proud American citizen answering to the title, “No. 33." Could on age possibly be more galling to our epirit of independence? Yet thousands do it every day. Our own country is full of James Yel- ores. Our atmosphere is full of the spirit of snobbery. Many of us are full of false conceits concerning this matter of democracy ve, aristocracy.

JUDGE ZACHRITZ WILL INAUGU- RATE A VIGOROUS CRUSADE. Lt HE HAS PREPARED A BILL, Will Ask the Legislature to Provide That a Bond Shall Be a Lien on the Property Pledged. Judge William Zachritz of the Criminal Division of the Circuit Court says it shall be his aim to have introduced in the Legis- lature this term a bill which will provide that a bond on a criminal case shali be a lien on the realty so pledged, and that that lien shall be recorded in the Record- er’s office as a mortgage on the property. In January of 1893 Mr. Zachritz, as Circuit Attorney, began a fight on the professional bondsmen. At that time it was a known fact that a forfeited bond was not collecta- ble. He fought the bondsmen, suggested new laws, consulted with the judges and did what he could to bring the culprit to the bar, but in summing up his efforts Mr. Zachritz finds that during the four years of his term as Circuit Attorney there were but two forfeited bonds collected. One was for $200 and the other $500, both from women who had not been thoroughly posted as to the ways of the bondsmen., Judge Zachritz was seen last night at his home on Lafayette avenue by a Post-Dis- patch reporter, who asked him to give an outline of what he intended to do with the bond business in his court. “I intend,”’ said the new Judge, “to see that every bond shall be of ample security. That is the most important particular. I do not care so much what the stated figures of the bond are, but I want it sufficient in amount and value to insure that the de- fendant will be in court when his case is called. ‘‘Heretofore it has been customary with the criminal judges to accept a bond of $200 or on an ordinary assault-with- intent-to-kill case. Those have been the usual amounts specified and the quality of the bondsman seems not to have been taken into account. “I propose to make the $200 bond read $1,000. Besides that, I shall make it my per- sonal business to see that the bondsman is a fit and competent person to qualify. *“Bondsmen in my court must ‘have a business standing. I shall bar. the profes- sional bondsman. There are a lot of men about the Four Courts who simply go on a bond for a money consideration. Those men do not care what becomes of the de- fendant, whether he appears in court or not or whether or not the bond is forfeited. “Such men as George Hoeffner, the sa- loon keeper, cannot go on a bond in my court. They are barred. This is why—tak- ing Hoeffner as an example. ““Hoeffner never signed a bond intending to pay it if it was forfeited. Whenever a bond in the Criminal Court has been for- feited on him he has appealed. It seems that through political influence or something else he has succeeded in getting the for- feiture set aside. “Those are the kind of men I do not itn- tend shall sign bonds in my court. I have prepared a rort of qualification card, to which each bondsman must be sworn. This card, which will be finished by the printer in a few days, asks about two questions, and unless the proposed bondsman can an- swer them satisfactorily and make oath to his answers his bond will not be accepted. “Further than that, the bill which I pro- pose to present to the Legislature will pro- vide that a bondsman upon going surety in pledging to the State the realty mentioned in the bond, providing the principal of the bond does not appear in court when called. “This bill shall further provide that such mortgage shall be recorded by the surety and the court clerk in the Recorder's office upon the signing of the bond. “In summfme the matter up my whole and only effort is to bring into court the de- fendant when his case is called. I do not care what the circumstances in the case are or what the evidence is one way or the other. I want the accused person in court. “IT am going to see that every bond I declare forfeited shall be collected immedi- ately in cash and that that cash will go to the credit of the State.” POLICE BOARD NOT WORRIED. Commissioners Say They Do\Not Fear an Investigation. The bill introduced in the Lower House of tha Legislature by Representgtive Spof- partments of St. Louis and K apparently not causing any/fgreat among the members of the/St. Louis Po- lice Board. / hey all express a yearning for an in- vestigation. If there is any one thing they desire more than anything else it is an in- vestigation They are hankering for a chance to appear before a legislative in- = At least that’s the way they talk, Dr. Otto E. Forster was asked Saturday what he thought of Mr. Spofford’s bill. “I know nothing about i» except what I saw in the newspapers,” he said. “I have no idea what the scope of the investigation will be. I am certain that no charges of any kind have been preferred against the St. Louis board. We can stand all the invesa- gating the Legislature may See fit to make. The St. Louis Police Department is in good shape and is being well managed. It do rot think the investigation is 2% be made be- cause the promoters of the bill think the resept board is not doing its duty. St. ouis seems to have been included as an afterthought.

Louis methods so they can pattern after them in regulating the Kansas City Police Depar™ ment. If there is any one behind Mr. Spof- ford in this matter I do not know who it is. We will be ready for the investigation when- ever the committee chooses *o make it.’’ Police Commissioner James Bannerman said: “The investigation is not worrying us any. We are perfectly willing it should be made. The board’s movements are always open to the public, and will bear the clos- est scrutiny. Trials of officers by the board are as public as trials held in the courts. We have nothing to conceal from the public. I know nothing of the animus behind Mr. Spofford’s bill.

A Saturday afternoon paper had a sensa. tional story of an attempt to assassinate Paul B. Moore, Private Secretary to Gov. Stephens, on the night of the inaugural re- ception. It told how a disappointed office seeker had called Mr. Moore out ball room and tried to murder him with a knife. Col. Henry Newman, who Was quo- ted as corroborating the story, says it was overdrawn. A stranger entered the ball room ver drunk and insisted on interfering with the dancers. Mr. Moore escorted him to the door and shoved him out in the veranda, The stranger struck at Mr. Moore and was drawing a knife when Col. Newman, who wae coming up the stepe, knocked the stran- e t up end away. Fg Noonan was with Col. landing on the ex- Mayor's jaw. Le & Free Reclining Chair Cars On all Wabash trains.

Pardee, Druggist, 4966A Easton av. BUTLER MAKES HIGGINS AND BRADY SUED FOR THAT $1,200 CHECK. BOTH DEFENDANTS ARE MUM. The Boss Says He Will Prosecute Them for Perjury If They Make De- nial Under Oath. Col. Ed Butler made his bluff good yes- terday by filing suit in the Circuit Court to recover that $1,200 check which the Sedalia Board of Trade so fondly hoped would help make them votes in St. Louis for capital removal in the last election. To the surpise of many he made Charles P. Higgins, at present chairman of the Board of Election Commissioners, and an ardent aspirant for the Excise Commission- ership, a co-defendant with Hugh J. Brady, chairman of the recently investigated and somewhat bespattered Democratic City Cen- tral Committee. Col. Butler does Mr. Higgins the further honor to name him first-in his petition, mak- ing him more poountans in the case than the chairman of the committee. The petition was filed by Attorney Tom owe. This money, it is remembered by wey reader of current news, was given to Col. Butler by Senator Yeater of dalia, with the understand'ng that he was to turn it over to Hugh Brady. Col. Butler gave the money to Mr. Brady and has a $1,200 check = his possession as proof of the transac- on. While the Investigating Committee was meeting behind closed doors Col. Butler ap- ared before it and cited all these facts is testimony. He alleges that Brady gave $600 to Higgins, and the two shoved the money down into their own pockets and never distributed any of it among the City Committeemen. he had received $1,200 from Col. Butler but that it was in payment for stock in a Se- dalia real estate company that was organ- ized in connection with the capital removal scheme. Brady acknowledged that the stock had been given to him for nothing by an agent of the Sedalians. Senator Yeater, according to the minority report of the committee, flatly contradicts Mr. Brady and corroborates Col. Butler’s testimony. He says that as the stoek in the real estate company was being given away Col. Butler could have secured all he wanted for nothing. Col. Butler claims that he has two wit- nesses who will swear that Charles P. Hig- — told them’ that he had received rom Brady, and the Colonel himself will swear that Brady told him Higgins was given $600 of the Sedalia money. It is also stated that Senator Yeater w'll swear that he understood Mr. Higgins was to receive $600 to distribute, and Brady was to portion out the other $600. The testimony of these witnesses, togeth- er with the $1,200 check, is the material which Col. Butler will have as a prop for his suit. Col. Butler says that if he recov- ers the $1,200 he will return it to the Sedalia Board of Trade, which is the institution that contributed the fund. It will be noticed that in bringing the sult Col. Butler places Mr. Higgins’ name first as a defendant. Friends of Mr. Higgins are much worried through fear that the suit will prejudice his chances for appointment as Excise Com- missioner. The petition says that defendants Higgins and Brady, unmindful of their duty ed and refused to keep their promise and agree- ment, and in violation of the trust refused to pay the sum of $1,200, or any part thereof, to the members of the Democratic City Cen- tral Committee, and secretly, covertly @ quietly converted the same to their own use, Piaintift says that d?fendan's Higgins and of the| to Brady have refused to pay the sum of $1,4 plaintiff, ansenee » intiff duly dema the same, Plaintiff says that by of the promises defendants are j truly indebted to thhim: tn the re.

The London Professor, the Vigilance Committee, and the Undoing of Rube Slink. The advent of a man with long hair and @ medicine chest led at once to the suspicion tat a new physician had come to town, Thompson Travis was unsettled in his mind as to whether there was a boom in it or not. “Depends on what kind o’ doctor he is, he said to Otis Ekiridge, ‘‘as to whether he holds the population up or runs it down. But even if he runs !t down, we'll sell more lois in that graveyard you an’ me’s brought up.”’ Accordingly it was decided by the boomers to gxive the new comer a ‘weloome. But “Tor’’ Seeley, who had enjoyed a monopoly of his profession in Logo, was inclined to insist on credentials. “You uns,” says ‘he, “as have your money invested in the cemetery may be back of this thing. Not knowing, I can’t ray, but I’ve been in towns in the West where cem- etery speculators have picked up dollars by killing the men and bringing in a quack to kill the women and children.” “Doc,” says Otis, ‘‘you're riled. That’s all the matter with wou. You’re mad cause this man’s comin’ upon your trafi, I don’t blame you, though, They ain’t enough here fer two doctors, that’s shore. Lut the boys ‘ll shorely etick to you. You'll get adil my custom.”’ ’* ’? eaid Travis.” “Doc” with a cynical » a doctor ‘to death. You’re never sick yourselves and when you shoot a@ man you never leave anything fer a doc- tor to do.’ This exchange of compliments was ter- he led the way to “Old '76," where Frank Pieper was already deep in the mysteries of the circular and ready for a vigorous ex- pression of his opinion upon its mer'ts. “This thing's a dead fraud,” said he, “here's old Luke Golden of my old town in IMinois writin’ in this thing that he’s been saved. Why, only last week I got a letter from my brother sayin’ that Luke Golden | quit drinkin’ abouta year ago, an’ now he ‘'couldn’t \« a dog case to try in a Justice | Court. You see it was this way. This here Luke Golden used to be dryink all the t'me. an’ somebody started the story that if he could only be kep’ sober they wasn’t a law. yer in the State of Illinois could stand up to him. If he’d only let whisky alone, people used to say, he’d rank up with any of the big lawyers in that country. He wouldn’t let it alone, but he made money anyhow for people used to go and give him retain. ers of fifty or a hundred, or maybe two hundred to get him to agree to sober up an’ take their big cases when they found the big lawyers in ‘the town had been engaged by the other side. They’d make him promise to keep sober and you bet he'd always throw out his big paunch and promise to goin and clean the other side out. But he never did. He’d always be drunk when court came around and then people would say again that if he would only keep sober he would carry everything before him. Well, after he tock this Keeley cure great things was ex- pected of him. He got lots of cases, but he lost all of ’em. He didn’t know any law an’ he couldn’t talk fer shucks. An’ now, as I’ve said, he couldn’t get a dog case. But here’s his name among the saved. It’s a lie. He’s a ruined man. He’s lost his reputa- per from the door of “Old '76. “As to your | stayin’ Professor,” resumed Thompson Squires, “this is a boomin’ town, an’ while anybody can come here nobody can leave against the will of the Vigilance Commit- tee.’’ “T have no fear of the result, gentlemen,” said the Professor, “and if I am to stay here for a test the sooner we begin tie better. Where is this Rube Slink?’’ “Here,” e¢aid the town drunkard, who had pushed to the front of the crowd on hearing that there was free drinks in the experiment for him, ‘‘I'm ready.”’ ; The first injection was made amid an impressive silence, and the first 1iose of the medicament swallowed. “And now,” eaid the Professor, “I want it understood that this man, until the medicine takes effect, ts to have all the whisky he wants, and whenever he wants it.” ‘“T wants it now,” said Rube. The crowd gave a yell at what It sidered this inauspicious beginning of the experiment and poured into “Oid «5 to see the commencement of the programme. Some of the Vigilance Committee accom- panied the Professce to the hotel, and made arrangements: to see that he could not es- cape from town. “T can’t see the force o’ that,”’ said Mar- tin Davis. “If the man wants to leave with- out doin’ any harm what d’you want to keep him for?’ ! “The idee is,’ said Thompson Travis, ‘to not let it git norated around that Logo gives any countenance to sich things. We can’t afford to let it be though’ that any perfesser could come here an’ be allowed to do anything that would break up any bus'- ness man here. That’s what we got to guard aginst. The Vigilance Committee’ll do something to give Logo the name of being a live, progressive town and the future me- tropolis of the Southwest.’’ Every morning when the Vigilance Com- mittee mev for drinks at “Old 76’’ Rube Sink was brought in for the test.

La NULALT / WLLAAA HO minated by a printed circular thrown into the midst of the group by Hobo, the town Indian, and which, upon closer inspection, was found to make this strange and start- ling announcement: SURN DEATH. ®urer Than a Bullet, Though Not So Quick. There Is a Cartridge in Every Glass of Rum. For hundreds of years men hiave died by thousands from the effects of bad whisky. Why? Because their appetite drove them on. They could not resist the temptation to drink. Not until Prof. Keeley made tis wonderful discovery was there any hope for men given. to the drink habit. But with that discovery came a sure cure. The taking of the treatment completely destroys the taste for liquor and not only destroys fit, but makes the man who takes the med- icine loathe the stuff which once held him captive. He not only cannot drink it, but he comes within ten days or two weeks ‘to a point where he cannot bear the sight or emell of a glass of whisky. If these state- ments seem hard to believe, read the tes- timonials on this sheet from eminent states- men, lawyers and physicians, whose high talents were once partially obscured and their usefulness impaired by excessive drinking, but who, having taken the cure, are now in the full sunshine of a glorious manhood Animated by the love of h‘s fellow-man and with a desire to bring to others the reat good he has himself experienced, rof. Wahkio Bronson of London, England, ts bringing this great blessing within the reach of one and all. Only two years ago he was a hopeless slave to drink. He had struggled for years, but in vain, to throw off the degrading habit. His wife and children h: deserted him. Ovtd friends had for- gaken him. He was on the point of com- mitting suicide when an advertisement of the cure fel under ‘his notice. He travelea across sea and land to reach ft. He had bur little hope, but before he had been twe weeks under the treatment he knew that he was saved. Yearning to save others, he Violated confidence in securing the furmyta and is now traveling around the world to bring others to his own blessed condition. His terms ere within the reach of all. He fe now in this city, prepared to administer the cure to all who want to escape death, ruin and disaster. Written underneath the print, on two dot- ted lines, was the, statement that Prof. Bronson was at the Great Western Hotel, and would address a meeting that night in front of the post-office. Silence fell upon the group composed of the Doctor and ‘the two boomers. They felt tion and his income. Now, do you call this a good thing? it makes me tired.’’ ‘I never,” said Otis Eldridge, ‘‘heard you talk so much in one stretch before. An’ we uns waitin’ for somethin’ to drink. But what you says is dead right. I’ve seen sich fellers myself an’ I guess they ain’t a county seat as haint got ’em. But the question be- fore “he house ‘s: ‘What shall we do with Prof. Waldo Bronson?’’ “Do you fellers want to lose your taste for whisky?’ asked Pieper, as he set out the bottle. “The man as’d take Thompson Travis, as he filled his glass, ‘"d have to travel day an’ night, for I'd camp on his trail till 1 caughtthim and go» it back.’’ ‘*It can’t be done,” said Doc Seeley. “It’s contrary to the laws of nature.’’ ‘‘My opinion is,’’ said Otis Eldridge, ‘‘that we ought to give i? a trial.’’ The others looked aghast. ‘‘We can try it on Rube Slink,” continued Otis. ‘‘An’ hold Prof. Bronson there to see how the thing works. If the medicine takes on Rube we'll know what to do.”’ “Well, what would you do?” asked the doctor. : “Course we can’t encourage no sich thing here,”’ said Otis. “If they a.n’t no harm in it, well and good, but if this town ever goes dry, on goodbye to a boom, I says, and means i2.”’ “An’ right you are, Otis,"”’ said Thompson Travis. When Professor Bronson appeared in the Post-office that night the entire population of Logo stood around his pine knot. He mine away,” said spoke eloquently and learnedly, and evi- dently made an impression upon his hear- ers, particularly the women among them, who had good reason to long for better things. But when he came from the ab- stract to the concrete he met an unex- pected proposal. “Five dollars for the whole cure, squirt gun and ail, is cheap enough, Professor,” said Thompson Squires, who had been elected spokesman of the Vigilance Com- mittee. ‘‘They’s nothing small about this town, an’ we're satisfied with the terms. But we do things on the wholesale plan here. If we likes the sample then we talks about the “job lot. Here’s Rube Slink. That feller likes whisky better’n he likes anything in this world. That feller ‘d die fer whisky, I believe. Try it on him. If you can make that feller go back on whisky then I'll say, an’ we'll all say, that five dollars is too cheap for any man to pay as wants to quit.” “But it will take,’’ urged the Professor, “from ten days to two weeks for the cure to begin to take effect, and I can’t stay that long. Besides the man you name must have, in the meantime, all the liquor he themselves unequal to the occasion. take a drink,”’ said Otis Eldridge, as eee en ee wants, and I guess he can’t afford it.’’ “I'll see he gets it,” gang out Frank Pie- ‘ask about the — — _———— the treatmen? seemed to have increased it to abnormal proportions.

It was on the morning of the eleventh day that Rube failed to appear. After waiting more thian an hour Otis Eldridge and Thomp- son.Travis went to his dug-out and found him wrapped in gloom. “It’s the first time in my lIife,”’ he said, ‘“‘that I ever woke up in the morn.n’ wi-vhout wantin’ a drink. I guess that perfesser, done fer me, damn him.’’ “Your stomach’s out of order,’”’ said Otis Eklridge. ‘‘Come up an’ take a drink an’ you'll be all right.’’ The patient was brought in and the sight of the red fluid in the bottles gave him a shudder. “I’m done fer, boys, he said, and groaned. “That perfesser’s (uk away all the pleasure I had in life.’’ “It’s an infernal shame,’® said Martin Davis, sympathetically, ‘‘to treat a man that away.”’ “Give him a drink,”” said Thompson Travis, and after it was poured out Thomp- son himself handed it to the miserable Rube, who shrank from it, and averted his face, while the retchings of his poor, worthless stomach shook his whole frame. “This is outrageous,’’ said Otis Eldridge, bringing his fist down on the bar with a bang. ‘“‘Call the committee together, Thomp- son, and bring in that damned perfesser.” The Vigilance Committee was in session two hours or more before it adopted the fol- lowing resolutions: Whereas, one Prof. Bronson of London, England, has come to this metropolis with a medicine to take away ‘the appetite for liquor; and, Whereas, Said appetite is the property of nearly all the citizens of this place; and, Whereas, It as much as any property worthy of the protection of this Vigilance Committee; and, Whereas, Reuben Slink, a citizen of this place, has been robbed of his only posses- sion through the instrumentality of this Prof. Bronson; therefore, be it ; Resolved, That Prof. Bronson, having vio- lated and threatened the property rights of this community, be adjudged guilty of a statutory offense, but as he has pleaded ignorance of our laws, that he be merci- fully dealt with to the extent that he be nailed up in a dry goods box marked for London and consigned to Hank Farley of the Transmississippi Stage Coach Iidne for delivery at the end of his route and trans- fer on.” If you ask Hank Farley about this he will tell you that he took the professor through to the end of his run.

Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Let us stop for a while at Santiago de los Caballeros, an old town, the inhabitants of which, In the tales of their last troubles with Spain, became very enthusiastic in the rela- tions of some of the incidents of the battles fought in that section of the republic and their descriptions are so naturally drawn and of such interest and value to history— bearing, as they do, such a resemblance to the struggles of the Cubans as to make one forget that there are in San Domingo other places besides Santiago de los Caballeros. e & par ‘xr ful a shamefu 4 $faneac 7 by which the independence of is republic was ed, by being cha ie Without the approval of her people, into a ropean colony, and still, strange to Say, th.s very act is repeated in a neign- Ng republic, when, after the ignominious of the tricle alliance between En- ce eat Spaia, _ ezonue of the ons are withdrawn from leaving France mistress of the ait- mingo was short lived, the natural reluct-, ance of the people to be made, for the sec- ond time, the subjects of a naton w sysiem of government they hated so muc the tyrannical ways of the Governors an Officiousness of other representatives, brought out at Cibao a serious revolution, whch, I am glad to say, put an end to this /Kuropean dominion in America. “Se non e vero, e ben trovato.” The Spanish never lost a single battle in that war, and yet, with such advantages as they had, they missed the best and last opportunity of holding this rich and import- ant possession. Gen. Primo de Rivero, Gov- ernor of Santiago de Cuba, at the head o¢ 16,000 men, and with an array of war vessels and numberless transports, a sight the equal of which bas not been witnessed since in the island, left Santiago amid the acclama- tions of the people, bound for Montecristo, Which wag,considered the strongest position in San Domfngo, and through which the in- surgents (called mambises) received their supplies. For reasons known to the natives no resistance was offered to the: invaders. who landed their well disciplined troops just as if they were in their own territory; @ very large rusty cannon, which the na- tives neither cared for nor valued, was found and brought to Santiago as a trophy of their great victory, and for political purposes an acount of this bloody action was pub- Gen.

Let me say that it had 'to be pnartaken of .often tefore the taste could be gratified. After the meal we took a stroll through the town, and wherever we Went we met with something so peculiar that it will be difficult to forget it. For instance: den- keys or a kind of degenerated mules seemed to be the chief means of locomotion, and the riders of these droll creatures would stop at a saloon or store and call out i: a loud voice for a glass of water, the owner to come to them w* freshment. Probably the chureh . “Give drink to the thirsty,” is the law which prompts them to presume in this manner. Nevertheless, we saw many fine residences and met with some fine people, but being sojourners cannot say anything of their home life. We found neavy ware- houses and large stores whose stock showed a large importing business. I remember having heard in my travels through the West Indies, and, in fact, all Spanish America, very funny discussions concerning the Monroe doctrine, and while in one sense this so-called doctrine is pop- ular in Spanish America, there is at the same time a sort of prejudice against its meaning which makes the people look at it with fear and distrust. The popular senti- ment of “America for the Americans, which does not appear in the message Mr. Jam®@: Monroe sent to Congress the 2d of December, 1823, which originated the fa- mous doctrine.js cautiously taken by many people who believe the expression pertains to the United States leaving these sections out, or, in a-word, forgetting that America includes both continents.

At the end of the war they moved to Cuba, and soon after became sympathizers with her people, and joined the ranks. Among 'the many names are found the Marcanos brothers, Modesto Diaz. Heredia and Maximo Gomez, the pres- ent General-in-Chief of the Cuban army. I will mention in this connection fact of Gen. Puello of San Domingo. sided with the. Spaniards, and who in last Cuban war, not having renounced his allegiance to the Spanish Government, was put in command of the army in Puerto Prin- cipe, where fhe: was badly defeated by Gen.

LITERATURE. Free Trial Lesson Civen by Mail to All Our Readers. COPYRIGHTED BY ELDON MORAN. To most people’s minds it is safe to say the thought hag never occurred: The magnitude or the debt we owe the past, Opening our eyes, we observe that our ancestors have, to a very great extent, supplied us cultivated farms, houses to live in, schools and colleges completely equipped, railroads, high- ways, canals and ocean cables; besides, an endless list of articles amd devices requiring time and ingenuity to pro- duce; machinery, rubber, chemicals, printing, steamships, domesticated ani- mals, highly developed fruit trees, grains and vegetables. ‘hese things are all very apparent. What is still more valu- able to us, although less apparent, per- haps, is the fact that coming into this world we find, all in full force, an elab- orate system of customs and laws, the outgrowth of ages of trial and experi- ment. We will name methods of edu- cation, constitutions, forms of govern- ment, codes of municipal, criminal and commercial law, international law and arbitration. Divested of these things, we should be no better off than a tribe of barbarians. But this is not all. We are equally indebted for the ponderous volume of human knowledge, and for the civilized instincts which are born with us. We inherit and make daily use of the ac- cumulated wealth, experience and wis- dom of scores of centuries Nor is this all. This wonderful prog- ress has been made because the Creator enduwed the human soul with a yearn- ing for better things. ‘The human race has always been moved by an impulse to rise higher. This race instinct hag found expression from time to time in the pictures of genius. ‘The pictures have been drawn by brush, witness the paintings of the masters; also by pen, witness the sublime masterpieces of the world’s literature. ‘To the splendid cat- alog of pen pictures belong the epics, prophesies, histories, philosophies, dramas and noble literary creations of all time. These intellectual monu- ments now are, as they always have been, sources of inspiration and guiding lights to struggling man, prompting him onward and illumining his pathway. Our own generation, coming upon the world’s stage, has stepped into pos- session of the accumulated wealth of centuries. Above the merely useful and material, we prize literature as our richest heritage. This wealth is no monopoly. The hand has but to be stretched forth, or the thoughts inclined, and the student becomes a millionaire in intellectual treasures. A great writer docs more than any other person in shaping the course of human history. A short ringing poem has often done more to change the eur- rent of human events than a bloody battle. A deep and permanent reform has been wrought more than once by a work of fiction. The pleasures and benefits which riches afford are not to be compared with those derivable from good books, which can be had almost without price, A great book, when once produced, becomes the property of the whole world. By help of the translator, editor and illustrator, the productions of all ancient and foreign peoples are rendered accessible to every reader, no matter what his language or nationality. We offer a few suggestions. It is best that the young or beginning student give his attention first to those authors who are distinctly American or English. Study the best books and you will soon come to enjoy them. The habitual reader of trashy books has no concep- tion of the grandeur of literary master- pieces. He dwells in the smoky valley, and never from mountain top, through the crystal atmosphere of high literary art, beholds the gorgeous panorama of human life, To read about authors, and to their lives. and the history books,—all that is useful: bt cipal thing is to study the writer’s own productions, First, study thé author's works; study the author himself after wards, As affording an indication of the student’s tastes and advancement in literature and as an exercise for cor- study but the prin- Attach your name and full address and | send to Educational Department, Post Dis- | rection, the reader is requested to pre- pare answers to the following questions as well as may be, from memory: 1.

Buildings Are Being Erected in All Parts of the City and Architects Are Busy on New Plans. Real Estate Row is beginning to take to itself a more cheerful aspect and agents are feeling decidedly encouraged over the outlook for spring sales. There are now under way and almost at the point of closing three big deals, one of $100,000, an- other of $60,000 and a third of $10,000. These will be closed as soon as title investiga- tiona show the property to be clear. There are also a number of deals of emallier caliber on the tapfs, all of the agents being more or less interested in geome guch transaction, The general sentiment was expressed to @ Post-Dispatch representative by Henry Hiemenz, Jr., Saturday, when he said: “I am at all times conservative in my expressions, and I have for some months been chary about committing myself to a statement that good times were upon us. I am now encouraged, however, to believe that that much desired condition is about to prevail. Real estate was extremely dull throughout the entire year 1896 and few sales were made. This however was not an indication that money was scarce among people who are natural buyers of real estate. It was rather an indication that they hesitated to invest during the unsettled times that they saw before them. There has been a change in this condition and for the better. There is now an abundance of Wle money, money that is not earning interést for its holders. This lack of earning capacity due to idle- ness arises from the fact that bonds and stocks of all kinds are either too high for the conservative investor or else considered unsafe. These investors will, therefore, as I see it, be forced, in order to make their ay, to invest in real estate. 3 uis real estate does not perhaps hold out the same hope of immediate and stupendous profits that shares in a gold mine would, but it has the virtue of being as safe as a safe bank. It also affords re- turns that should be satisfactory to any ex- cept a very greedy capitalist. ‘I confidently expect lan exccVent run of general real estate business throughout the somely four large rooms ea — = marble finis! exterior wah, white sone trimmings bays. = posses will have gas as henters and elec- Cc, Weber, ie 8 Sortet, is ee built rs his own cost of 15,000, a aaa ree 9 Py aanaee store and ye high, with big plate glass windows on the first floor.

Handsome New Building Is Now Near- ly Completed. The accompanying cut gives a view of the new building at Menard and Julian streets of the Menard Mission, @ormerly known as the Soulard Market Mission House. The new building is designed in the colonial style of architecture, is built of pressed brick and ford stone.

Present low, hard-time vaiues cannot last.”’ Mr. Hiemenz’s views were shared in by @ large number of the better posted agents visited by a Post-Dispatch representative. The remarkable activity in building circles is creating general comment. Building ma- terial of all kinds remains low in price, and property owners are making haste to take aivaatage of the situation. ‘There are a large number of apartment houses, rows of flats and separate houses how under way in all sections of the city, and all of the architects are busy drawing plans for more. Around the two Builders’ Exchanges there is a spirit of activity that is encouraging. All of the builders have more or less work un- der contract or being figured on. There is much ‘general interest locally in the high building question. It has been expected for some time that at least two big. buildings both on Olive street, would be “a go,”’ Various difficulties havé arisen to delay them, but it is expected that both of the schemes will come to a focus in the next two weeks. Another big bullding on Pine street is also raid to be on the verge of “closing up.’’ The Holland building, on Seventh near Olive, is being rapidly push- ed, and the outer walls are now seven stories high and the iron work up to the thirteenth. Excavation will begin to-mor- Tow on the Fullerton building at Seventh nd Pine streets, the old bulidings having en entirely removed. During the week renting has been active and from now on until after May the agents will find plenty of tenants for all vacant house. here have also been a mumber of important loans made during the week, nearly all of them for building purposes.

BUT WHEAT HOLDS ITs OWN RIGHT WELL. MOVEMENTS DURING THE WEEK. Corn Is Taking the Place of Wheat in Many Communities Because It Is Cheaper. The volume of business last week was light, cash sales being confined to a few purchases for milling account, and there was only a moderate amount of specula- tion. The business was mostly of a scalp- ing nature, and by professionals, as there was a great scarcity of outside orders. Exporters are’only willing to buy when wheat is sold at a sacrifice, and then only in limited quantities, as the Europeans seem to have had their immediate wants supplied, and the shipments there at pres- ent are largely in excess of their present needs. The situation appears somewhat weaker than it did a week ago, and there is still a fair amount of short selling, but the bears learned a severe lesson in the last ad- vance and are inclined to be conservative in their trading, selling only what they ex-- pect to be able to replace easily and taking no long chances. The spread between 8t. ‘Louis and Chicago is gradually growing smaller, and it is ex- pected to be much less by the first of May than a es Under aerial conditions we should be 2c under Chicago, while we have been running from 8c to 10c over. Conditions, however, are gradually changing, and by May the spread will probably have narrowed down to 3c, or less. The high prices for wheat have brought about a forced economy in the use of it, and consumption is at the minimum. The waste Was never smaller, and numerous substi- tutes are being used. The wheat crop of the United States is now conceded to have been greatly under- estimated, and is placed at 450,000,000 bu. e exports of wheat and flour for the year 1896 were 153,538,271 bu, an yee over the previous year of 23,323, 398 In spite of these cubrmons “ghi ments, the stocks at the principal points o accumpla- tion show a comparatively small decrease, and the amount in farmers’ hands appears larger than it did a short time ago. The high prices naturally attracted large shipments to Europe, and wheat has been pouring into those markets at the rate which would be equivalent to about 300,000,- 900 bushels per annum, so it is natural ‘that there should be a sharp decline until the excess of the recent shipments over the re- quirements has been absorbed. Advices from Argentine continue to be conflicting, but conservative estimates place the exportable surplus of wheat of that country at between 400,000 and 700,000 tons, either cf which is much larger than was Sgured on during the recent regime of high prices. At that time it was expected that the high- est prices would be reached before the mid- dle cf January, but now it is pretty gener- ally conceded that without some very se- vere setbacks to the growing crop or other unlooked for circumstances arise, there is little probability of much higher prices than at present; but at the same time the situa- tion is not such e3 to warrant any decided decline. The Argentine crop, which will soon be available, will be needed and will probably go into strong hands, Dut Russian reserves are still large and large ~e ents from that country may be oo any as long as prices continue to be satisfactory The condition of the ponte a crop, both in this country and Europe, continues to be aH that could be destred, and this is now oe principal depressing feature of the mar- Another thing that acts as a bar. to any marked advance is the fact that during the long agers the heavy bulls took on very long lines of May wheat, end when they attempted to unload the market broke so rin ag 4 they have been unable to dispose of their holdings, and the time is now get- ting so short that they are becoming un- easy, as they do not want to be forced to take tho grain on the eve of another bounti- ful harves This is wheat the bears are figuring on mhen they talk of 60-cent wheat, but they should not overlook the fac® that our stocks iby the end of the present crop year will be smaller than they have since 188, and that it usually takes several years to accumulate stocks after -- drain such as we have just been subject t As the himation at that time was very much like the present, it may be well to also remember that prices in 1890, when the short- age in the crop was so great and the visible supply was nance mem exhausted, were not as high as they, were in the following year. So, while there {is no likelihood of o aving dollar wheat this season, there +) just as little in the situation to warrant any expec- tations of @#-cent wheat, all indications pointing. to rather steady markets through- out the balance of she season, The week was one of extreme dullness, with no snap to the market.

ee CCI: — | es The scenes of “An Enemy to the King,’ which E. H. Sothern will present to-morrow evening at the Century, are laid in France during the troublous times of the two Hen- rys, when Huguenot and Catholic were in deadly conflict. The story is that of a young Catholic girl whose father is thrown into prison because of supposed sympathy with the Huguenots. To accomplish his release the daughter visits the Governor of the prey- ince and there is persuaded, as a return for the release of her father, to become a spy and use her woman's charms to lure from his hiding and into the hands of his enemies @ noble young Huguenot, Capt. De Launay. The maiden falls into company with the man she goes to betray accidentally at an old inn. She is impressed with his valor and gallantry, but is horrified to find after her woman’s heart has been touched and she ‘has been protected by the gallant knight that he is none other than the man for whose betrayal she has been promised the life of her father. Torn with conflicting emotions, with love growing stronger and more tender under the noble inspiration of De Launay’s presence on the one side, and a sense of her father’s danger on the other, the hapless maiden at last vields to her woman's heart, abandons her contract and hastens to the chateau of the Governor to be released from her pledge. Suspected by her lover she is followed there, just as @ garrison of soldiers have been sent to his retreat to arrest him. In the chateau the last and strongest scenes of the enacted, and the denouement is artis cally and skillfully drawn as it is surpr ing. The cast, besides Mr. Sothern and Mary Hampton, includes Arthur R. Lawrence. Royden Erlynne,. Morton Selten, Rowland Buckstone, George E. Bryant, John J. Col- lins, Ernest Tarleton, Daniel Jarrett, Owen Fawcett, Sam Sothern, C. P. Flockton. Ed- mund Lawrence, Franklyn Roberts, Frank Heath, W.

Morrison assumes the role of Mephisto and makes him a jolly, jovial devil and one ‘well calcuiated to en- chain the souls of men in the glamour of forbiden pleasures. The scenic effects are strongly brought out and serve to accentu- ate the dramatic situations in a vivid man- ner. One of the most notable effects is at the end of the first act, when Mephisto ex- ults over ‘the capture of the soul of Faust, when midst darkness and thunder bursts, the blazing cross appears over the cathedral docr. In ‘the garden scene, again, where the flowers burst into blceom by electricity, ana in the duel. scene when Mephisto comes to the aid of Faust, the flashing steel pro- duces a pale weird effect, reaching its climax in the scene of the witches’ carnival on the -Brock- en, where the electric fluid plays an impor- tant part, ending in a shower of fire, and in the chosing scene where the angel Marguer- ite is bearing the senseless fom of Faust heavenwarl, marking Mephisto’s discomfit- ure.

H. Sothern, speaking of American play- great deal of play writing in this country, but the writers Jack constructive ingenuity. Play writing is a very difficult task, because there are 60 many elements of success con- cerned in it. The American play writers all write good dialogue, but they are weak in construction. Take dramatists like Bron- son Howard, Belasco and DeMille, and they @re more attentive to their construction than they are to their dialogue. A good play is al] construction. The inclination of most writers of dramas in thts country is to depict peculiar types of American charac- ter. This ts an outgrowth of the star system. I ama great crank on the subject of star plays. I do not believe in_ them. I favor-the strong ensemble dramas. I don’t think tha't it is right for one man to mon- opolize an entire entertainment. The actors who are associated with a star soon get tired of playing solely to him and for him, and they quickly lose in'terest and spirit. The more evenly balanced the cast, tle more satisfied are the actors and the audi- ence. American dramatists lack stage ex- erience. They may write brilliant dialogue, oe their work lacks a strong dramatic ele- ment. In my opinion the great American dramas are yet to be writtén.” —_0——- Pauline Hall is booked to appear at Hop- kins’ Grand soon. “For Fair Virginia,”’ with Mr. and Mrs. Russ Whytal as the stars, come to the Fourteenth Theater week of Jan. 24.

By gradual degrees he abandoned the “‘burnt cork’”’ and played on the variety stage in various sketches until 1886, when he took out a farce comedy, “The Two Old Cronies,’’ which was very successful.

A few days ago Mrs. Herrmann replied, thank- ing the signers of “he letter, but declining the proffered kindness. ‘I appreciate their kindness,” she said, ‘‘but as long as I can make my own way I prefer to do it.

Mr. Miller has always been a popular actor here. and his many friends were out in force to give him a warm welcome and to wish him good luck in his new venture. They were more vigorous than discreet, for the merits of the new play by Charles Klein and J. 1. C. Clarke are not superlative. The main idea is strong and interesting, but the general handling of the theme is lame and weak. The first two acts are labored and heavy. but the weakness of these scenes is almost forgotten in the’ moving power of the third act. It was here that the spontaneous enthusiasm of the audience broke forth and called the stars and the authors to the footlights time and again, Mr. Clarke sald a few words, and then Mr, Miller made‘a speech, which for or'ginality, feeling and sincerity _was a model of its kind. His tribute to Charles Frohman, un- der whose direction the production was made, was positively touching. When etts one and two of “‘Heartsease”’ have been earefully revised and some real humor in- jected, the new play should serve Mr. Miller well, | — A positive change has come to musical farce. The style of comic opera in vogue a few years ago ,with fits outlandish char- acters in fantastical scenes, has fallen out of fashion. Into this field of music and fun has come a manner of entertainment originating with “The Gayety Girl” in Lon- don, from which city that piece and others of ite kind were brought to America. Some of them were successful with us, and some were not. The latest of them, ‘The Geisha,” has enjoyed much prosperity. A slightly different development in the same direction was “Lost, Strayed or Stolen,” derived from a French farce, outfitted with light music and retaining that Parisian buoyancy which our ple like far better than the heavier London humor.

A pretty woman in a nobby bicycle suit looks well, but so few display taste or judg- ment about the selection of such garments. Somehow elderly ladies look entirely out of place upon the wheel, no matter what they wear, and it does not seem to be ap- propriate to the dignity of age, wrinkles and gray ‘hair to be ‘seen jumping on and off a wheel like a girl of 16. It is admissible for any woman to ride wiheels or do anything else to preserve her outh and beauty, and Il met a very young ooking woman lately whose husband is @way a great deal, and she told me that she had made it a habit for years to rub those places on her face where wrinkles were liable to come first, with a rubber complex- §on brush for an hour every morning be- fore she got up to breakfast when her hus- band was away and could not see her meth- oA for keeping her face smooth and attrac- ve. z But this is a digression from the subject of dress, which is only excusable from the fact that the fair sex are really more in- terested in receipts and methods for keep- ine away the signs of age than they are in gowns, wraps and bonneis, As the season advances and the girls have considered the possibilities for skating as gore or less favorable, they have been dis- cussing the subject of costumes. The cos- tume for the sport is susceptible of being made very becoming, and a graceful, well- formed woman is never seen to better ad- vantage than when skimming over the ice. It is impossible to find pretty ready-made skating costumes in Bt. ey and doubt they. could be found in the Wastern ‘ities. The short skirt displays the pretty eet, and a suspicion of a_ well-shaped nkle, while the closely fitting jacket, in- spensable to the skater, reveals’ the aceful lines of the figure. fi Ot he , hi. ~~ | LL BE ABLE TO BEAR THE TEST OF THIS UNIQ , MEADDRESS, gathered wpon the outside under an insert. | THE ART OF ENTERTAINING. THE AMERICAN WOMAN IS A CHARMING HOSTESS, BUT HER FRENCH SISTER EXCELS HER. NEW YORK, Jan. 14. Dear Ladies—It is the woman of fashion in the society swim that should know what constitutes the art of entertaining. For surely she has had a wide experience in the collecting of people together, in méeting ali the strange birds that flock to us from other countries, and has money ad libitum for luncheons, dinners and social functions of dl kinds. We are told that the clever hostess or smart entertainer is one who is born with this gift—the art of entertaining, who pos- sesses the knowledge of knowing how to make any affair a success, and to make her drawing-room @ place where crowds meet, subjects are discussed and often busi- ness affairs settled. It may be an art, but I fail to see it. To entertain is to exercise one’s i iat ihe | it. common sense, to be alive to a situation, to watch the countenange of each guest ‘and by a study of human nature to know What to say and how to please. To bring together a class of good folks who are congenial, to advance subjects in which she knows her guests are interested, and who by much thought have become familiar with People who work on the same lines, be it business, literature or art, are of course great in their way. It is a well known fact that the French woman is beyond doubt the best of enter- tainers. In the gay city of Paris in cer- tain salons the ripple of conversation is like a ball rolling from one to another, the sparkle and repartee flashes and beams in al] directions, no one solely occupying the floor, but an abundance of ideas are poured out, and every subject most carefully dis- cussed and dissected at will. We all know that those brilliant spirits of long ago, Mme. Recamier, Mme. Mora and a host of others, were fine examples as good society entertainers—women who knew what to say and what to do at all times, how on certain evenings they lifted the latch key and the world came jn. That given than the formal dinner, where and women should be at th well appointed dinner the hostess very careful ag to the — There should ibe s y' people who é, the y Bien of this = times a tena fair. In fact, ladies, at this soci ey tion your sex should take the Jead. ve what maf? on earth ever did start ¥? - teresting conversation with a woman aiter a three minutes introduction? a al Men, as a class, have but little tac being selfish by nature they consider a ee ma] dinner purely as a matter to ae os over—a social obligation paid. So, their artner at this detectable feast is yg auty, nor brilliant in ways, then as hooves her to make one superb oess Cc never fails with that masculine calle ee —please him with himself. Find out by some hook or crook what he likes, try every subject in turn until you have at the right one and then go ahead with a your strength until you see that satisfied air which shows so plainly on that mouth, be there a mustache or not. By doing this you are learning the art of entertaining, and helping your hostess, who will, after the function is over, rise Up and call you blessed. Twelve guests are easier to entertain than four. A little flattery on the part of the hostess to these same men will do much in the way of making the din- ner au fait, and keep conversation sprightly and taking. Of course, there are talkers at a dinner who become great bores before the event is over. Long stories are not to be thought of, the hostess taking care that each one should have their say, making de- mands on her guests for certain informa- tion which she knows full well they are quite up to date in, and by so doing mak- ing the conversation general, which for any dinner is its salvation. Religion and poli- tics should be ostracised, and the compli- mentary nothings should have full sway at this delectable time. There are times when a hostess should be deaf, dumb and blind. Unpleasantness be- tween guests should apparently not be seen. And the clever hostess is one who smooths all rough places, taking care that person- alities in general should not be discussed. Some years ago an English lady dining for the first time in this country, sat next to an American woman of literary proclivities. With charming impudence, the New Yorker, after looking the Briton up and down, in the softest tones asked this question: “‘Why is it, Mrs. R., that English women dress 60 badly? Their costumes are horrors. You know the Americans are quite up to date in this particular.”’ The Englith woman at first was staggered, but with flashing eyes replied: ‘‘Then, mad- ame, we leave something for you to do.” The hostess, having been there before, heard this unfortunate s hh, and at once started a theme which quite covered the confusion, much to her satisfaction. In the art of entertaining much depends on the host and his share is equally many times as trying as the hostess. At a literary supper, a young man from Boston appeared on the scene, being an escort, and a stranger to those present. Being greatly impressed by the vivacious manner of the lady of the house, who was a chatty little creature and nothing more, ‘the fledgeling in a naive way asked when introduced to the host, “‘Are you the husband of our hostess?’ This broad- minded genius, who valued fame but little, with a kindly smile replied, ‘“‘Yes, my dear boy, I believe I am.”’ all night without asking questions. snand of bith quataiet attentions to all lables: fac make a major domo of him, and you will have your reward. If a man and hw 2 are your guests give them ajl the social liberty possible. Your husband should share the honors in entertaining and pleas- ures planned that are equally agr le. Talk of subjects that are pleasant, in- terests that they believe in, and by the end of the visit you will be counted @ guccess. If a young widow is your guest, en let fun run rampant. Leap to all sorts of kit- tenish frolics, muster up all eligible men without money and with, and let there be one prolonged diversion. In fact, let it be a red letter day until the end. But if a couple of old ladies, or an old- fashioned maid, which is rarely seen_nowa- days, then for neatness and comfort. Consult your cook and let every meal be perfection. Give yourself up to their simple enjoyments in riding, walking and the ke. Their tastes should be yours, and let the visit be one long summer day, which will be talked about for years tocome. Let a code of rules be hid- den somewhere which you follow strictly. Fhink not of yourself. Make every woman a queen in your drawing 100m. Bring to- gether agreeable people and be the grace- ful gentlewoman at all times. MRS. OLIVER BELL BUNCE, CARE OF THE HANDS. The Many Methods by Which Softness May Be Retained. There is small excuse for a coarse hand upon a woman in these days, for there are many methods by which its softness may be preserved and its color retained. Gloves are now being made expressly for the use of the housekeeper who is compelled by neces- sity to do more or less work. They are big, loose, red rubber gauntiets, that are for slipping on when tender fingers must go in hot water. There are white rubber ones too for use when kneading dough; big chamois skin ones for wear on days when the family silver must be polished or the brass and irons touche@ up. The outside surface of these last acts ag a polishing cloth on all metals, and when the chores are thus effectually handled with gloves and more or less completed for the day, let the finger nails be brushed in tepid soap and water and manicured. Nails that are tough, lusterless, dotted with white bruises, surrounded with hang- nails, or are plainly brittle and ragged, like weak, discolored teeth,etell a simple story of neglect. One dollar and a half will pur- chase all the manicure tools and supplies necessary, and these will easily last three years, and so no great expense is in- volved. The estimate includes a cleaner and file in one, a pair of small curved scissors, a large wood-backed polisher, a box of nail paste and one of powder. After nails have been brushed.in tepid suds and dried use an orangewood toothpick to gent- ly push back the skin about the sides and bottom. With the scissors clip close off all the hangnails, and then cut every nail to the shape you wish, beveling the cut edges with the file. Rub ever so little paste on every nail, dust a pinch of powder on the polisher and then polish with an even stroke a few times. Don’t let either paste or powder work into the skin around the nails and don’t manicure two mornings and neglect the hands four. Don’t try to have long nails or glittering ones. —_——_ LP er St ' (Li: Cai lyr ‘ ee \ cd AS 3s 2M ANY aa Ye Ay a Dey y ML aa or PTGS Cae “ ‘7 YS f fy ~ . » ion wri «a! P. fag +2, * A ea ee * ae?

She is quick-sighted, bright, happy in her ideas, and generally clever in most of directions, but many times she fails as an entertainer.

Brilliant only | sense to see the one great point in the art of | entertaining was to interest people with one, | | styles of fascinators which are the vogue this season. Perhaps we are rapidly approaching the season when the art of entertaining is more complicated in its details than at any other time. That is in the summer. When in- send , . rit: sen and one is ce here for a week, or there for some four or five days: when your dress box is contin- ually being packed for some house party or it | Yachting crutse, it is then that this art so rarely known jis more necessary for the comfort of all than in more formal times. It is a most dangerous thing to pack one’s box and go for a week to a house where the home hfe is not known. Sometimes a family almost live on the piazza. ‘‘You are put out in the morning, turned around at noon, and taken in at night.”” How weari- some, how dull. The woman who values her friends should not plan a pleasure for every hour in the day. A!l morning's should be given to the guests for letter writing and the duties that the privacy of their own apartment demands. And, besides, it re- lieves the hostess of continual entertaining. There are some people who never allow a guest to have a moment to themselves. They are rushed here, driven there, so that before the week is over their lives become a burden, and they fly from the spot they have longed for with joy unspeakable. Of course in all country visiting there are certain privileges which for the guest should be accepted, that is, the afternoon Nap, a late breakfast for the delicate person, or the busy man or woman who have to take their work with them, even on a delectabie junketing, and who are obliged to have cer-. tain hours without interruption. So that in many cases the art of entertaining becomes anything but a pleasure—a sense of obliga- tions yeturned, which must be carried out to the ‘end with formality and ceremony ob- served, which for a long time is not to be desired. True hospitality and clever enter- taining are really the same in @ way. * e and take salt with me in my attic” is a good phrase. The capable hostess is one who lays an extra place at her table, but who believes what is good enough for her family is good enough for her guest—that the compliment iven in an invitation, is that her friend is nvited to her hearthstone, and to the home life she is admitted.

An all-fur hat is the latest novel addition to the wardrobe of the outdoor young wom- an. She has probably modeled it on her brother’s “big sealskin cap, and the only wonder is that she has not adopted the cap without modification. However, she saw fit to modify it, and the result is the most striking bit of winter millinery that has yet appeared. The hat is circular tn shape and has a wide, rolling rim. It is usually made of sable and its only decoration is a group of tiny heads and tailg. Though it is always difficult to classify a milliner’s zoological specimens, these heads and tails, in the case of a Sable hat, may be said to be the relics of some unfortunate mink. The minks of the future will undoubtedly be a tailless race if the present fashion of util- izing their tails upon every article of ap- parel continues. With her sable cape simply a foundation upon which bunch after bunch of tails is suspended, and her muff aparently a mere aggregation of tails, the outdoor girl had simply to invent her fur hat with its wav- ing groups of tails, to make her winter costume absolutely congruous and complete. Other types of the fur hat which @re per- bage even prettier are those made of seal and of chinchilla. In every case the sole trimming is heads and tails. Always the same group of tiny saucy heads at the side and the same bunch of waving tails over- topp! them. The new fur hat is simpl-city itself, t it is very affective and sometimes it mus? be admitted that it is grotesque as well. iy heads and tails of a wild animal are not the most appropriate settings con- celvable for a fresh young face, and sug- gestions of a zoological museum are not the most desirable additions to a stylish winter sui2 However, fashion has declared that these are “‘the thing,’”’ and they will proba- by. be tolerated throughout the season. he all-fur hat is occasionally worn at receptions and other day-time social func- tions, but its proper place is on the skating ground oi the golf links, or it may be even better adapted to sleighing. With her fur coat, fur gloves, fur-trimmed gown and fur- ail ee i ‘ned shoes, and now to crown ell, fur hat, the athletic young woman present winter is in no danger of su from the cold. Indeed, her furry eq would fit her for the frosts and snows a far severer climate. At skating partes the fur hats seen are usually of sable, and %hese are also very often worn to the ice skating rink. The young women who prefer the quieter en- joyment of sleighing (and it-is to be fe- gretted that New York’skies are so chary of their snow that this pleasure comes scldom) usually wear hats of seal, and their rosy cheeks are displayed to excellent ad- vantage by the ever-becoming afforded by the dark fur hat and coat. Sim- ple as the fur hat is in construction, ip very costly and the chapeau most laden with birds of paradise and plumes is not worth nearly as much as simple little round hat of fur. APPLES AS A BEAUTIFIER. They Aid the Digestion and Hence Clear the Complexion. The mischief done by the apple which Eve shared with her infatuated lord can never of course be overcome. Women, however, should know that the advantage of apple- eating will to some extent console her for the mischief made by our first parents. Doctors say that apples act directly upon the liver, thus strengthening the digestion, and, as a consequence, yee the tex- ture of the skin and the color the ¢ plexion. Raw apples are the best, but bal ones may be substituted for a change, oF if the fresh frvit should be found unpala- table or difficult of digestion.

Many ple that a light meal of light fruit directly bee fore getting into induces comfortable sleep, and in every way is an immense suc- cess. This season above almost all others it will be easy for women to beautify them- selves by free use of the apple, as never before, perhaps, has the fruit been bettes or more plentiful.

Some of them were not, being recognized as regular race followers, who made a living betting on race horses or inducing others to do so according to their advice. _ At one of the tables just outside the pool room was a mixed group of business men and race followers, carefully studying over the da!jy form sheet of all the races run in the country. They were evidently preparing to stake @ considerable amount of money, because wal Ait rx : Bilis. ght if ne i hil ) eS: OP is Soe THE SOUTHERN CLUB BOSS. the conference had assumed the gravity of a Cabinet meeting. The pool room itself was like any other reom, one wall covered with black- rds on which, were written the names of the horses in the different races and the odds that the bookmaker would lay peaiet their fin'shing first, second or third that particular race. The casher, the sheet-writer and the Gicket-writer were-grouped about in the cus- tomary form.

Considering that it is an off season when there is no particular interest in horse-racing there was an awful lot of betting done. It is safe to venture, however, that at least 75 per cent of the men in Fitz’s room had no steady employment and were staking money obtained any old way in hope of winning by chance what they could not get by hard and consistent work. Many of the faces were familiar to the horse reporter. He had seen them a thousand times at the race | that same | track, and always marked by eager look of expectation which changed to one of bitterness as the result of the race was declared against them. Others were there who should not be there. City employes, trusted with responsible du- ties under the city Government, and sup- posably out on the discharge of those du- ties. Clerks and salesmen, who were sup- posed to be elsewhere, were also recognized watching the nimble dollar escape from their pockets to the ever hungry tin box behind that very new and fresh blackboagd partition which separated Fitz and his crew of operators from the victims outside. Fitz runs a fair game as bookmaking goes and stands well with the betting fraternity. Ac- cording to his ideas he ddes what is right and just and never tries to get the best of anybody. In any other business Ed Fitz- gerald would be trusted just as far as he is now by his fellow gamblers. He is, as the term goes, a “square’’ gambler.

A Small Terror Which Prilis Through the Shell and Kills the Inmate. The oysters worst enemy, and one with which it has been found impossible to suc- ‘cessfully cope, is a _ spiral-shelled terror called the “drill, that seems to have been especially constructed to reduce the oyster eupply. The drill is aptiy named, for it is a shelifish provided with a regular drill about an eighth of an inch fn length, and is made of a material that will go through the hardest oyster shell. When the “drill” has singled out a victim he fastens to it like grim death and begins operations, By an unerring instinct that ts fatal to the victim the “drill” always points its weapon at the exact spot where the sharp implement will bore direct to the heart of the oyster.

As the rain water gradually drained through the soil it finally removed the iron in the form of a carbonate, and the color of the sand- stone changed from red to light yellow. It well known that if a fragment of wood or charcoal be placed in a chalybeate water the iron will be precipitated as a hy- drate.

The only means known at present to guard the oyster beds against the attacks of this formidable enemy ifs to exercise unceasing vigilance and laboriously examine every s8ep- arate Oyster at close intervals of time. When e “drill” is found on one of'‘the shells it is plucked off and crushed under an oyster- gnan’s boct heel. But this is a distregsingly water, as the trunk was found ten feet be- low the surface, and the coloring matter would come from the rocks beyond, carried by the rain.

At a recens meeting of the members of the Anthropological Institute, in London, Lieutenant B. T.. Somerville read a paper upon personal observations made by him during a lengthy stay in the island while on surveying duty on H, M. 8., Penguin. Lieutenant Somerville expressed his. be- lief in the existence of a rare type of ani- mal in the dense jungles which cover the interior of the Solomon Islands, - This ani- mal, which is regarded with superstitious fear by the natives, would seem to resem- ble an anthropoid ape. Should this prove to be the case, another explanation of the peculiar prognathous character of the carved figures produced by the Solomon islanders would be provided. Lieutenant Somerville is convinced that this animal is mot the mere product of a traveler’s ‘tale, but that it really exists. In support of this contention he quotes five independent nate accounts, and was also able tb adduce the testimony of Lieu- tenant Weigall, a ther officer, who himself caught a glimp&@e—of an unknown hairy animal on a branch ad the edge of the jungle, but “was unable to approach it before it took fright. Owlng to the con- stant rains, the jungle in the Solomon Islands is exceptionally dense, and there ere herdiy any tracks in the inverior. These conditions would distinctly favor the survival of an animal of the supposed kind if it once reached ‘the island. ow eee ee ee ENORMOUS BIRD EGGS, Laid by an Extinct Species and Eight Times Larger Than Ostrich Eggs.

THIS ONE AND THE HUNTER HAD A CLOSE CALL. “Although I have done considerable hunt- ing in the Rocky Mountains I have but oie grizzly bear to my credit; and if I'd known the béast’s capacity for carrying off a magazine load of lead at a canter I'd never have meddiled with this one,” said C. F. A. Peck, once of Idaho, to a New York Sun reporter. “It was three years ago last August that I went up against Ephraim in his native haunts and came, off best by a half-breed, I was hunting elk in the Rocky Range north of the Big Horn Mountains, about eighty miles from Burke, Idaho. We made our camp e!ways in the valleys, where there was plenty of grass and water for our horses, and the nights were not 80 cold as in the uplands. Another reason for camping in the valleys was that the bears had left the low grounds to follow the elk up into the mountains, and Jim did not like bears. “He had sound reason for wanting to take no chances with the brutes, for.it was owing to an encounter with a y that he had to shoot his rifie from his left shoulder.

A rustling sound across thé ravine drew my attention. and looking I. saw beyond the ravine, near the edge, the ehagay head and shoulders of a grizzly bear sitting upright on his haunch- es among the bushes eating blackberries.

Five times I fired as he came up the slope, every bullet striking his head. Three of them glanced from his skull and two passed through his left ear. With blood bubbling from. nose and mouth from the wound in his lungs, he came on, apparently regarding my shots as little as if they were peas from a pop- gun.

REMARKABLE INCIDENT RELAT- ED BY COL. PALLOK IN HIS BOOK ON INDIA. Col.

Physical Peculiarities Which Give im Great Killing Power. Mr. Cleveland as a duck hunter is a very great success, not that he kills so many birds, but because when he does shoot Something is sure to drop. He doesn’t waste any ammunition. The birds he shoots at are shot. As a duck killer the President has many advantages over other men, gdys the New York Sun, and if there is anything in the laws of physics, the shot from a gun fired by him have greater penetration, and there- fore greater killing ee Mr. Cleveland is a heavyweight, and so when a guh kicks it not move him back as far as a simi- lar kick would a lghter man, say one of 190 or 200 pounds. In fact no gun has been known to move Mr. Cleveland back in re- cent years, The butt of a gun sinks into his shoulder and the kick is gradually taken up, something after the fashion by which hydraulic cylinders take up the recoil of a 13-inch rifle by oleic resistance, and not nearly so much of the force is lost as would be were a light resisting power behind the gun, It appears that Mr. Cleveland does not ap- preciate the great advantages he has over other duck hunters If he would only take fiying shots at long range he would certain- iy kill some ducks under circumstances that might make any sportsman proud, but from articles describing his hunting it appears that he does not seek for the gratification of the desires which cause sportsmen to spend time and money for the pleasure of ooting a duck man hion. . When Mr. Cleveland goes to Wide Water on a ducking trip he finds that Mr. Wal- ler of that place has prepared the birds for,his coming. There is a blind there from which ducks are shot. and as the blind Is massively constructed it never set- tles more than half an inch when the hunter for whom it was built enters it. nt ’ Twenty-five yards from this blind, bait of | oa on the wail, wi corn or other grain is sown ag: coger’ 4 on the bottom of the river. and the ducks gather there to feed. The-bait is sown in rows leading away from the blind; so that the ducks, which get Alrectly ver the bait before they dive, will be ned a converient.for what is called a “pot shot” —a shot at sitting birds, taken by men when the.camp is out of meat, when the birds are to be sold, or, as in the case of Mr. Cleveland, when there is a great de- etre to kill meny birds af once. Mr. Cleveland's visit to. Winyah Bay is sure to be interesting 40 him, for in that région there are blinds gajore. The An- nandale Club has @ preserve to be proud of and there are marshes and ales about the. clubhouse that offer the t kind of cores.

In one of the big offices down town it is customary to furnish the employes with pen- cils, but as the aforesaid employes showed an inclination to catrue the pencils promiscuously among thelr acquaintances 4 xine of cash register rule was put on Whenever one of the boys wanted a pen- 1 he was required to make out and sign jon for it. If the pencils wore out too quickly there was a kick from the as- sistant business manager. This kick was usually so vigorous that rather than run the gauntlet scme of the young men would buy their own Fabers if the last got lost or was “hogged” by some friend. There was one clerk in the office who Was addicted to try. He was also ad- dicted to strong drink. One afternoon last week he “drew” a black and a blue pencil. Thé same evening he went out fer a qe time, and by morning he had lost th pencils. Also he had jest all of his money, and as he was r pay his chances of bor- rowing were sdten. He came to work without a pencil and Was in a quan . He couldn't work with- out blue and black pencils. Then a bright idea struck him. He borrowed a stub from his neighbor and wrote this to the assistant business manager: ‘"Those pencils I received from you, I lost in this morning’s early gew; I'm now in neeu of nells, two— One should be black the other blue, The first, a Faber No. The second of usual size and hue. Without them I know not what to 406, If you favor me, I swear "tis true Some day I'll ¢dq as much for you; And these I'll stick to just like glue. Oh, please be ‘easy’ this time, do.” The poetry touched the right spot, for in a few moments the office y laid half a dozen of each kind on his desk. HE SAW THE SPOT, And Wondered If He Had the “Wil- lies” or Had Not. It was on the reeent morning when a spot appeared on the face of the sun. A young business man who had been out ainting the nocturnal landscape the night fore was coming down town on an Olive street car. , He happened to glance up at the sun through a window. A telegraph wire seemed to cut the at orb in half, but he noticed a black Mg tch on the shining disc. At first he ¢hought it was somethi hanging on the wire, but he soon observ that, as the car moved, the splotch moved, and he rightfully concluded that it must be someth ag else. He alighted from the car at Sixth street and looked around him suspiciously.

Four nights a week and once on Sundays had Lancelot Gewgaw been ying his at- tentions to pretty Syrasella Floordelee, an there was yet quite a long pay-roll before him, But fn all that time he had not thought to say the thing that would have made them happy. Syrasella was a beautiful being. Her hair was so raven black that it left a mark on anything white, which is why Lancelot always wore colored gentlemen’s furnish- ings. Her eyes were like twin comets rushing through space at each other, and she had many beautiful teeth. Altogether she had the proper assortment of attrac- tions calculated to make her face a 'thing of beauty. ‘ Lancelot was not a chump. although he wasn’t say'’ng a gy, Pong her. He was simp! jacking assurance. e was a book agent, but that was his profession. His almost human ears hung on either side of his head tastefully covered over with real hair, an his eves were of the true floor-walker vari- ety. He was no bargain-counter attraction, but a spvecial Monday mark-down, and Sy- rasella knew it. And now they were seeing leap year out together. He had talked about everything except the one, dead-easy. hackneyed yet never stale subject, and as the hands on the clock chased themselwes nearer to 12 she grew more and moré@ beautiful, as she seemed to be nerving herself up to the point of saying a few words herself. Suddenly the clock struck a dozen times, and with a wid cry she cried out, crying, ‘“‘Lancelot; why Aid I lose my chance? Leap year 4s gone for four years.,”’ Lancelot beat at hig forehead with his clenched fist until the Veins in his neck as- sumed the pvroper shade of purple. Then, stalking acroag the floor, he came back. He knelt in front of the divinely beautiful girl, whose bair was making streaks all over her gown, His tones were like ‘the best quality of honey: “Svyrasella. forgive me.’’ “Give you what?’ she murmured coyly, as she swept her cheeks with her long silken eye-lashes. She was that neat that she swept them every day. “Give me your heart,” he said, in deep, wealthy ‘tones, and as the whistles sounded ushering in the new year, her tender ‘‘Yes” rose above all the tumult, and two loving hearts gave a faithful imitation of a dynamo working overtime.

"Oo rd,’’ groaned the husband, “the has his mother’s mouth.”’ “And what of it?” asked “mamma” be- tween her teeth. “Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. Let us at least pray that he may have a pleasant voice and know part of the time what he is talking about.’ ' ‘You bru’’— but again the nurse essayed to pour oil on the troubled waters by pro- claiming that the head and hair of the cherub was his father’s.’”’ Papa quickly got in the first blow by decMring there would never be any hayseed in that hair. ‘“‘Perhaps not,’’ assented the young moth- er with the air of one who would consider it a relief to be burned at the stake, “but we must school ourselves to the strong probability that there will be myriads of wheels in that head.’’ ‘Papa’ slammed the door with a racket that set baby darling howling, the nurse executed a flank movement through an ad- jacent room, and “‘mamma’’ wore the ex- ultant look of a magnanimous victor.

One of the planks of the platform on which President Smith runs reads as follows: “The fight of a citizen of the United States to demand and obtain work at wages Sufficient to support himself and family Shall never be abridged: It shall be the duty of the Government to guarantee em- ployment to all who demand it.” Mr. Adams makes one peculiar mistake in this picture of the future, namely, that a Govérnment in which every man was guar- anteed work could exist alongside of trusts; for he represents the trusts as continuing in existence rep mag & with some of their powers curtailed. here is a tendency among Populists and Socialists to point with pride to the modern trust as a bright example of the benefits of combination and thorough organization. But most writers with such ideas are honest enough to sa that the march of modern combination will finish by the Government, or the people, taking over the trusts and thus forming a rept oR re ay Pecpie's Trust, known as the - e ommonwealth. : Charles H, Kerr & Co:) : vee * . + There never was a more beautiful tribute to a beloved mother ‘than ‘Margaret Ogilvy,”’ by her son, J. M.

George Washington think of him as his portraits depict him—a grave, somewhat stern and altogether dignified gentleman, of whom it would seem impossible that he should have been once a slender strip of a lad. And it appears from a delightful chronicle of his boyhood, “A Virginia Cavalier,’” by Molly Elliot Seawell, that he was always resolute and full of the iron determination that made ro the leader of the Revolutionary patri- ots. “The boy’s eyes were remarkable—a light, but beautiful, blue and softening a face that even (n bowhood was full of resoln+ion and éven sternness. . . This boy wasa gentleman at heart and in soul—not because he ‘had no temptation ‘to be otherwise, but because he chose to be a gentleman.” ...

Taking for his text the saying of Iambli- chus that “‘The night-time of,the body is the day-time of the soul,”’ John Bigelow makes sOme very interesting observations in his book, “The Mystery of Sleep.” He attempts to show that* sleep is not really necessary to revive the body, as certain fishes and other living creatures take no sleep. He believes ‘that sleep is needed by man in order to restore the spiritual forces. He believes that, whether we are aware of it or not, the soul enjoys more or less close communion with the Divine during sleep, and that were it not for this a great many people whose waking hours are absorbed in business or ‘the pursuit of the appetites would rapidly degenerate into monsters. In support of this, the author cites many in- teresting and curious facts regarding sleep, dreams, etc. He also quotes a mass of in- teresting matter regarding sleep and its phenomena from various authors, old and new. The importance of sufficient and un- disturbed sleep is insisted upon, and it is a lesson much needed in these days of rush and worry. (New York: Harper & Bros.) Literary Notes.

It was a flourishing institution long be- fore the old Planters’ Hotel was ever thought of, and is still in existence and do- ing business at the same stand. When the Grand avenue ridge was a wil- derness, about which little was agpedhteciyn Green Tree Tavern, as it was calle n those days, was famous alike for its fare and its hospitality. Warren Ayres "was the proprietor, and under his management the place gained a wide reputation. He was a politician, a above all a boniface, and his name an the fame of the Green Tree Tavern — synonymous throughout the’ surroun ing States. There seems to be no record of the time the original house was built, but it — some time between 1817 and 1830, for “ ¢ ° first date there were only fifteen ys houses in ‘the city—and the hotel was ov one of them—and at the latter date it ha already established a reputation. — pase The Green Tree Tavern in the early day was the resort of the farmers and drovers for miles around, They came from ow or and ‘Missouri to dispose of their produce and cattle and to lay in supplies for nome use. Everybody had money, and whee = farmers came to town they did not hesi — to part with a share of it. AS a rea business was good and the town people could afford to be hospitable. 4 The surrounding country in those a was wild, and travelers met with many ada- ventures. These were recounted in the lob- by of the old tavern, but there was no his- torian t otes of the many “hair- eae related, and much that no 1g ang a the early his- might have been valuable in tory of St. Louis was lost. The city still retained its French aspect at that time, and all the pleasing customs of the French people were in vogue. Bon- homie was the order of the day, and the easy-going hospitality of the early settlers ade a visit to St. Louis an occasion long be remembered. ~ e joining the hotel was an immense wag- on Yard for the accommodation of the far- s and drovers, and in the rear was 4 roomy barn. “‘Accommodation for man and beast” was the rule in the good old days. The hotel was destroyed by the great fire of 1819, which consumed about $3,000,000 worth of property between Second street and the river, but has since been rebuilt, and has been doing business ever since. The big brick barn, with the queer looking hay loft, which was erected nearly fifty years ago, still affords shelter for the animals be- longing to patrons from the country. George Zimmer took charge of.the place about 1863 and conducted it for twenty years. In 1874 he had the building remodeled and it is now four stories in height, with an iron front. After Mr. Zimmer had ac- cumulated enough money to build a few acres of flats he sold out the place, and dur- ing the past fourteen years it has changed hands several times. Fred Neidt made so much out of the place that he had to go to Europe to spend it, and then, in the fall of 1893, the house came under the management of Dietz & Hasse- mer. It is still the favorite resort of far- mers from Calhoun County and Highland, Ill., Ste. Genevieve, Mo., and other places where the Green Tree Tavern was the only hotel known .of half a century ago. For many years it was the favorite eating place of the down-town police, and many.a sergeant who is now no more took this meals there regularly, Until recently a policeman, \ THE FLOWER GIRL | Compare Prices With Competitors’ and See the Difference. aia fT) MEN'S SUITS AND 1417] OVERCOATS F Going for a Song! 4— All $5, $7 and $8 Men's = Single and Double ‘ Breasted Suits and & Overcoats, including am Finley & Hull's, $2.65 and $3.85 All $9, $10, $12, and $15 Men's Single and Double-Breasted Suits and Overcoats, includ- ing Finley & Hull's, $5.65 and §7.45 All $16, $18, $20, $22 Men’s Single and Double-Breasted and Overcoats, ing Finley & and finest Baltimore tailor-made, finest ma- terials, $9.85 and $12.75 Youths’ Suits and Overcoats, 14 te ts, 19, for All $5 and $7 Youths’ Single and Double-brea - yo ao including Finley & Hal's .45 an 85.

Men say, lieutenant, what the dickens is that concern you have on?” scornfully asked the eHMer warrior. “It's an order, colonel,” young man modestly. “An order? Not a Prussian one.

When the atmospheric disturbance in the WHERD SHE FINDS EASY VICTIMS. business quarter had subsided the “flower girl” blossomed forth again, and now she is more persistent and brazen than ever. About the only relief that can be suggested is for the public to rise again in its might and demand that she be cut down In the course of her wild and mad stock of some florist, which she handles for a commission—and she takes advantage of the fact that she is a female and brings her wiles into play for the purpose of in- ducing patronage. Almost any right she may be seen in the down town saloons, nudgin half drunken men in front of the bar, and rush- ing up to strangers and pinning bouquets on their lapels, relying on her boldness to effect a sale by taking men by surprise. These girls dress very poorly, probably for effect, and their manners, even at a ten- der age, are corrupt beyond their years. Every night they ply their business in places where profanity and verbal filth abound, and they cannot escape contamination. The bar- tender orders them out, but they only laugh at him and give him saucy or.vuigar answer, oy | are incorrigible because of the cor- rupt influences that havé helped to mold their lives, and they are rapidly nearing the great divide, on the other side of which are the derelicts on life’s sea. These girls have a wonderful knowledge of human nature, but it is a knowledge is harmful, because it pertains only to the sinful side of it. ‘ Not long ago, after dark one evening, a gentleman started to enter a saloon on cust street, near Broadway. A Httle girl— she could hardly have been more than 6 ears old—was standing outside with a asket of flowers. With her was a boy, still younger, presumably her brother. “Flowers, mister?”.asked the little girl, as the gentleman was entering the door, “Not this evening,”’ he replied. The boy made some femark that was not audible, and the girl remarked, with a deep childish scorn: “He ain’t drunk enough yet.” How well she knew. If that particular man or any other man had been intoxicated or even “feeling good,” he would probably jhave bought at least one bouquet, because of the fact that liquor often swells a man’s heart as much as it does his head and makes him far more generous than he would be if sober. These girls recognize this condition of things, which they have learned rough association, and thus it comes that most of their business is carried on after dark, and in places where men congregate to burn their money. As a rule they stay out until about 10 o'clock each night, going from saloon to saloon, time and again, in the hope of snaring fresh victims at each round. On special occasions they stay out until mid- night ,or even later, and if zheir customers are ‘“‘drunk enough,” as the little girl said, their sales are good, Some of these giris are from 12 to 15 years old, and one of them, whose presence is par- ticularly noticeable, is verging into woman- hood. She is the biggest and boldest of the lot, and her sales in a crowded saloon, some- times amounting to 50 cents or $1 at a single time, are nothing more or less t black- mail. She seizes hold of a man when he.is least expecting such a thing and importunes him to make a purchase for himself and friends, at the same time bringi every art known to the feminine mind to bear on him with that end in view. His companions f, " him, and he, abashed at the girl's bbdldness, becomes a mark for her, and it is not long before he is separated from his money and he and his friends are decorated with a lot of wilted boutonnieres. These facts were called to the attention of a number of ladies in the West End, who are planning to build a Newsboys’ Home, and they were greatly horrified that such a condition of affairs could exist with the knowledge of the police and the Humane Society. They expressed themselves on the matter in emphatic terms, and declared that when the time should become pro a they would look into the evi. themselves, i somebody else does not take it up in the meantime.
