SMASHED THE BRIC-A-BRAC. ‘Stayed Out All Night, Then Tried to Clean Out His Mother’s Aris- tocratic Home. .Withnell Green a young gentieman who belongs to an old and ar'stocratic St. Louis family, stayed out all Sunday night, camé home Monday morning, kicked out all the windows in his home, at 3505 Laclede ave- nue, broke the houschold furniture, beat his mother and wound up by making a murder- Ous assault on her with a pocketknife. The young man is now sleeping off his de- bauch in a cell at the Seventh District Police Station. He stretched out on the hard Hench, clad in the height of fashion, with a diamond sparkling in his scarfpin. He is a eon of the late Thomas Green, a nephew of Charies Green, the street railway magnate, and a brother-in-law of Lieut. Linley Wood of the United States navy. Sergt. English was riding east on the Laclede avenue car, about 8:30 o’clock Mon- day morning, when he heard the sounds of breaking glass and women’s screams. He rushed to the platform of the car and saw young Green come to the front window of No. 3505 and deliberately kick out the plate glass panes. The policeman made a dash for the house and forced the front door open. In the parlor he found the young fellow running amuck, smashing bric-a-brac and overturn- ing furniture and pictures. His mother and sister stood by shrieking in terror. Mrs. Green was holding her right arm, as though it gave her intense pain. The blood was streaming from a deep gash in her right hand. fergeant English seized the young fel- low, but found him strong as a bull. He resisted. The officer used his club, and intimated him into subjection. Oace the paroxysm of rage pa*sed the fellow became sullen, and refused to J a a word, | “r _ Mrs. Green, who !s a strikingly handsome woman, tall, gray-haired, and remarkably well preserved for her years, trembled with indignation and shame as she told the po- liceman of her boy’s conduct. He is the second youngest of five boys. His elder brothers are Thomas, James and Charles Green, all well known about town. Withnell is 2 yewurs old. He is a strapping big fel- low, and handsome, too. His pet aversion is work, and his favorite pastime is getting full. He had a position under the Calvary Cemetery Board, with which his father was connected. His duties were to push an elec- tric button that rang a bell and notified the grave diggers what section to go to for work. He found it too wearing on his con- stitution, and gave itup. Since his father’s death, three months ago, he has been idle: Sunday night, his mother says, he failed to come home. He waited Monday morning until after 8:30 o'clock, as he was afraid to come into the house while his elder brothers were around. They have a habit, the moth- er says, of personally chastising him for his breaches of sobriety. When his mother upbraided him on per- ceiving his condition the flew into a frenzy. He kicked the furniture about, and when his mother attempted to interfere he cuffed her. He went from one room to the other, kick- ing oui the window panes and overturning the furnishings. Despite his brutality, his mother grap- pled with him repeatedly. For her pains her right arm is terribly bruised, perhaps dis- located. When she persisted, he got tired beating her and slashed at her with his pen- knife. There is a deep cut across the palm of her right hand, between the thumb and index finger. ( Sergt. Englivh wanted Mrs. Green to ac- company him to a surgeon. She declined and said she would attend to the matter herself. She rather seemed put out at the police- man’s interference, probably fearing pub- icity. She did not want the boy arrested and said she would not prosecute him. Sergt. English saw the young man kicking out the windows of his mother’s home. He ‘will send him to the Police Court and appear as prosecuting witness against him. BARBERS NO MORE. . - Bace Manipulators to Be Promoted ito “Tonsors.”’ Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 18—Barbers in St. Louis may soon be simply a tradition, as in & bill soon to be introduced in the Missouri re those who successfully aspire to the honors and perquisites of the craft “tonsors."’ Not alone in name has it been decided to effect a change, but under that bill the tonsor’s art is taken under the protection of the State and an examining board appointed by the Governor will issue a certificate per- mitting the aspirant to ply his trade. The Journeymen Barbers’ International Union is behind the measure, and it will introduce a similar bill in the Tilinocis and other Legis- jatures, oe ag Proposes to regulate the appren- ceship of tonsors that no one can call himseif a journeyman tonsor until he has served @ three years’ apprenticeship.

Sanford Murray, 54 years old. once a wealthy contractor, was picked up at Sixth and Olive streets Monday morning. after he had fallen from weakness caused by starva- tion. He was sent to the City Hospital in an ambulance. It required one hour of the hardest work for the emaciated man to walk from Chest- nut street to Olive street. He would, with the greatest effort, take two steps forward. and then his weakness would ‘take him one back. In that way he staggered along the street, from one sidewalk to the other, up y SANFORD MURREY. — against the buildings and falling against the telegraph poles. He had crossed Pine street, but he was unable to get up over the curb on the north Side of the pavement. He tried it two or three times, but each time he fell back. Sev- eral men were standing around looking at him at the time. They did not move to as- sist him. Finally a messenger boy came up Pine street and got behind the exhausted man. He shoved him up onto the sidewalk, «aw that He was started on his way, and then hurried along. By the time Murray got to Olive street, he was completely exhausted and in attempting to leave the sidewalk for the street he wilted and fell in a heap beside the letter-box on a lamp-post. Patrolman Battersby thought the man was drunk and tugged away at his coat-collar, but Murray gave no response. The ema- ciated form of the.man, his white moustache that protruded like bristles from the bone SANFORD MURRAY. PICKED UP AT —_—, ‘ and his skinny hands and the way his clothes fell about the bony limbs attracted the at- tention of several pedestrians who had been watching the policeman’s action. Some one told the policeman that the man was not drunk, that he was starving and too weak to proceed further. An ambulance took Murray to the City Dispensary and from there to the City Hos- pital. Murray was seen at the hospital while taking ‘the preliminary bath before be'ng given a. cot. It required a great effort on his part to talk. He could say but a few words at a time and then his tone was low and almost indistinct. From what he said it was learned that he had. been a contractor,. had built the ter- ritorial Capitol at Santa Fe, N. M., and beside that had sub-contracted for the stone work onthe State Capitols at Denver, St. Paul, Cheyenne and Salt Lake City. Six years ago he came to St. Louis to live with his son-in-law; his daughter had died. The first two years they lived on Lucas av- enue. Then they went to a house Murray had purchased at Second and Gratiot streets. His son-in-law married again, and within a year his presence became distasteful to the new wife, and, although it was his own home, he was thrown out. Murray went to live in a little room at Tenth and Market streets. Herran out of money and his son-in-law paid his way, at least for awhile. , Murray became sick a month ago, and for two weeks he lived on the charity of his fellow roomers. A’ week ago that charity was shut off and he gent for his son-in-law. The latter came and left him $2. In four days he spent $1.40 and he was then turned out of the house by the landlady because he was in arrears with his rent. Though sick he started out. For three days and nights he has walked the streets, slept now and then while leaning against a telegraph pole or a building, has been moved from a dozen havens of rest by as many policemen. He never knew what it was to beg for a meal and, forgetting the 60 cents he had in his pocket, he went hungry. Sunday night he had been down in the Missouri Pacific yards and Monday morning he was .walking north on Sixth street. He did not know where he was going, he was simply moving. Then he fell at Olive street. His condition is con- sidered serious. SHERIFF AND DEPUTY-SHOT.: | Character’in Montana. BOZEMAN, Mont.; Jan. 18.—Sheriff Frans- ham Saturday went to arrest Frank Morgan fur assaulting a ranch man near here, when Morgan drew a gun.on him and ‘escaped. The Sheriff, with Deputy Jack Allen, took the trail, overtaking Morgan and his partner at Carpenter’s cabin, in the Cherry Creek Basin, forty miles from here. When within fifty feet of the cabin door, without warning, the two refugeés opened fire with shotguns, dropping Deputy Allen, who is probably mortally wounded, and wounding Sherif? Fransham. A messenger sent here for help organized a posse at Salesville, which took the trail, and another posse left here Satur- day night armed with Winchester rifles. to head off the escaping ruffians. Sheriff Farnsham has reached here. He was not seriously wounded, but it is feared Allen will die. STEAMER ASHORE. The Sea Is Quiet and the Crew Is in No Danger. — "BEACH HAVEN, N. J., Jan. 18—The steamer Hausworth from Liverpool, with a eargo of sugar, is ashore near here. A wrecking steamer has gone to render as- sistance. The vessel is well off shore and , floated at high tide lying easy and was heavy this morning, is now almost smooth. The crew of the stranded steamer number twenty- three men. They will remain on board.

BOMBAY, Jan. 18.—The situation is grow- ing rapidly worse, and the exodus from the city on account of the bubonic plague con- tinues. The official returns issued to-day show that there have been 3,633 cases of the | plague recorded and 2,592 deaths from the pestilence. The Times of India complains that the san- itary conditions of Bombay have been al- lowed to deteriorate for ten years past. It adds that the whole future trade of the city is involved and that no expense upon the part of the Government to stamp out the plague can be too costly. THE COFFEE WAR. Woolsons Are in to Stay and Will Cut ‘Prices If Allowed by the Courts. TOLEDO, O., Jan. 18.—The fight between the Arbuckles and the’Sugar Trust regard- ing the price of coffee will continue more bitter than ever. r “Only for the injunction suit hanging over the chief director of “he Woolson Spice Co., ‘‘we would cut the price of coffee another half cent a pound. We cannot do it, however, in face of the order of court. Instead of losing $1,000 per day, as it is stated by the Arbuckles in their pe- “tion against us on account of cutting prices, we are making over $1,000 per day, which our books will show. We have no fear of the outcome of the suit, because we can show that the business is prospering. The price of coffee is too high now and we can afford to lower it if the courts will only permit us to do so. We are running night and day and employ 600 hands, and if the sui® comes our way, we will employ 1,200 inside of the next ten days. If the suit goes against us then we will be compelled to remove from Toledo and secure a location elsewhere. Our purpose is to make Toledo the great and only coffee center of the world. “The our heads,”’ said with Arbuckle is that he bought coffee for ll cents. per pound, when he could have pur- chased it a short time_afterward for 9 to 9% cents per pound. He is trying to sell coffee on the basis of his 11 cents per pound purchase while we are willing to give the public the benefit of our 9 cents per pound urchase for the same class of goods. This s where the whole fight is. Arbuckle made a bad deal in coffee and he wants the pub- lic to help thim out, while we bought at market prices and are willing and ready to let the public enjoy the benefit of our economical purchase. We are in the coffee business for the money there is in it, not for our health, and we propose to stay there regardless of threats and intimida- tions.”’ FEE SYSTEM MUST GO. Congressman Dockery Indorses the Po- sition of Gov. Stephens. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 18.—Congress- man Dockery, who is chiefly responsible for the bill abolishing the fee system as ap- plied to United States Marshals and attor- neys, passed by the last Congress, after a stubborn somspes. trouble indorses the ition of regard to abol the On this we administration Gov. Stephens has chal- lenged the confidence and approval of all the people by urging the abgelition of the fee system as applicable to the offices of Sheriff, Probate Judge, Coal Oil Inspectors and Excise Commissioner. “This recommendation of the Governor has a business ring. Fixed compensation should supplant the fee system wherever practicable. The act fixing salaries for United States Marshals and attorneys has been in operation little more than _ six mofiths, yet the administration of justice is fully as ample and effective and the Government will save yearly at least two and one-quarter millions, The fee system should go.”’ VOLUNTEERS’ STRENGTH. They Have Gained a Firm Footing is Four Hundred Cities. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—Booth-Tucker, commande; of the Salvation Army in the United States, and Mrs: Booth-Tucker will depart this evening for St. Louis. No time has been fixed for their réturn. It is said they go on a Tong campaign in the Wes: against Ballington Booth, now in California. An officer of -the local department is responsible for the statement that the Com- mander’s departure is of the utmost signi- ficance and pertains in a particular manner to a letter received several weeks ago from Gen. Booth, who is in London. In that letter the General notified Commander Booth-Tucker that it was his intention to visit New York, because he was consider- ably perturbed régarding the falling off in numbers and contributions throughout the Western States. Thier, it conceded, is @iréctly due to the secession uf Ballington Booth and the formation of tl American Volunteers. The latter organiza- tion has attained ae strength—not so much in New York and vicinity as in such cities as St. Louis and the important cities in the est. Some idea of the etrength of the Volun- teers can be gained from a statement made by a Salvation Army. officer last nig't. “The American Volunteers,”’ he ssid, ‘shave made wonderful progress in the West. They have established themselvea strongly in nv less than four hundred cities.” BURIAL PERMITS..

The lobbyists do “not urge the members to vote against the bill, but they simply tell them what they may expect in case the bill becomes 4 law. Luckily the unsophisticated class has but slight representation in the House of Rep- _resentatives at this session of the Legisla- “ture. This is only one of the tricks re- sorted to. Another favorite scheme is to , ensnare the members into accepting @ rail- » road pass for themselves, some member of their family, or probably for a friend.

If the fellow servant ‘bill passes the House, as — indica- tions denote, notwithstand ng the small wave of adverse sentiment that is devel- oping, then the Senate will be invaded by the lobby with all of its old-time vigor and cunning. Everybody knows it is easier to ax’ the Senate than the House for_the reason that there are not so many Sen- ators as House members, therefore the un- dertaking is numericaly a lighter task. There will be an open meeting of the Committee on. Internal. -Improvements Wednesday night, at which the Avery fel- low servant bill will be thoroughly dis- cussed and considered. Chairman Lee 4as- sured the Post-Dispatch correspondent last night that the deliberations of the commit- tee would be open to all callers. ANTI-LOBBY BILL. A Substitute to Be Introduced for Dy- er’s Bill. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan, 18.—A sub- stitute for the Dyer anti-lobby bill will be reported in the House by the Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence. This much is assured by Representative Martin, chairman of the committee in charge of the bill. ‘‘The reason for report- ing a substitute,’’ said Representative Mar- tin to the Post-Dispatch correspondent last night, ‘is not that the committee is op- yosed to the atm of the bill introduced by epresentative Dyer, for we are in sym- pathy with it, but we want to Strengthen the bill. The substitute we will introduce will deal more directly with the evil element of the lobby than the Dyer. bill.does. While we are at it we want to make a bill that will contain no possible hoop hole.”’ One of the principal objections to the Dyer bill is that portion defining what lobby- ing is, which reads as follows: “Lobbying is defined to be any personal solicitation of a member of the General As- sembly of this State by private interview, or letter or message, or other means and ap- pliances not addressed solely to the judg- ment, to favor or oppose, or to vcte for or against any bill, resolution or report, pend- ing or to be introduced in either branch thereof, by any person who misrepresents the nature of his interést in the matter to such member, or who is employed for a consideration by any person, persons or cor- poration interested in the defeat or passage ‘of such bill, resolution or report, for the purpose of procuring the passage or defeat thereof.”’ The objectionable point in ‘the foregoing is the word “judgment.’”’ Members of the committee, or at least, Chairman Martin, . Claim that the word “judgment” is difficult of definition in its literal sense, and he says with that word included it would be a diffi- cult matter to determine where to draw the line as to what constitutes an offense in the way of lobbying. The substitute to be re- ported defines lobbying very mugh the same as in the Dver bill, except that the words “dishonesty,” ‘‘bribery” and other strong ex- ' pressions are used more freely, making it clear that the lobbying must be really il- legitimate and dishonest before an offense is constituted. ere are seven lawyers on the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee, and they have been having some spirited discussions with Mr. Dyer as to the real in- side meaning of the word “‘judgment.”’ Representative Martin says that to frame an anti-lobby bill so as to reach the real offenders is a difficult matter. Of course there is one way of influencing legislators that is legitimate, and that is by the proper presentation of the facts bearing upon any subject or question that is to be before the Legislature for the enlightenment of the members, and in order that the members may know what their constituents want, it is necessary to have legitimate communi- cation. But to fix a law that will separate “and distinctly point out the good and the bad is a difficult matter, so the legislators say. Everybody is aware that the lobby evil is in existence, but an effective and practical remedy is a mooted question. Mr. Dyer says his bill will remedy the evil, and the committee says it has technical features that are objectionable. It remains to be seen what will be done. The Criminal Jurispru- dence Cummittee will hold: a: meeting: to- night for further consideration ter. The Dyer bill ig ‘made-up from the Vir- ginia and Georgia lobby laws—the first sec- tion quoteq from r+ tre, = and the remainder from Virginia. artin says that al- though the os law has been on the stat- utes since 1882, There has never been a case in which to test it. A FAKED-UP YARN. The Alleg-d Attempt on the Life cf Paul Moore. s « to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, ‘Mo., Jan. 18.—A gen- eral feeling of amusement, tinged with just a dash of disgust, prevailed in Jefferson City Om account of a fake story printed in St. Louis, alleging that an attempt was made to assassinate Paul. B. Moore, private sec- retary to Gov. Stephens, on the night of the inaugural reception. Secretary Moore says he had never heard of the alleged effort to cut short h’s earth. ly career until he read about it. He furth- ermore rejyoica»s that he was spared the pain- ful knowledge during the week that inter- one So a ong aes ae of the alleged as- 1e¢ publication of ‘y 2 se pe 4 ee s related by Secretary Moore to th Post-Dispatch correspondent to-day, here @re the facts that gave rise to the ‘sensa- tional story: On the filght of the snaugural reception a half-drunken tough, whose hame is not known, gained entrance to the Executive Mansion simply by. reason of the fact that the occasion was open for every- body, and the aforesaid tough watked bi without attracting any unuswa) attention. Later on in the evening the heat of the room in which he seated himself had a bad effect on him and he began to exhibit Bytmmptoms of intoxication. Secretary Moore happened to observe this and, thinking to — get rid of the intruder, told him Mat & man at the outside door wanted to see him. The unknown tough went out and, discovering that he had been made the victim of a ruse, returned to the inside and made an attempt to upbraid Secretary Moore. In order to prevent a scene, the Secretary quietly led the intruder 6 the door and he walked away without further ado, so far as Secretary Moore is aware. After the tough was on the outside he made some remark in a maudlin tone about having revenge for the snub the had re- ceived. This remark was heard by Col Henry Newman, who suspected that prob- ably the fellow was armed. he affair at- tracted so little attention that nothing was ht of tt at the time, although prob- y half of the callers at the mansion on that occasion observed the presence of the half-drunken man. This incident is r rd- ed as nothing etrange when it is considered that an immense crowd pcrepted the - eral invitation extended by Gov. an Sirs. Stephens for everybotly to attend the re- ception. Asa matter of fact, the happening Wag not worth mention at all, AFTER TAX DODGERS. Representative Slate’s Bill Regarding : Closer Assessments. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFDRSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 18.—The House and Senate convened this afternoon, after having had a recess from Friday noon.

The Assessor, according to the Slate bill, will be required to distinctly note in a@ separate column on the list opposite each item, the amount at which such item is assessed. In addition to this the bill pro- vides that the Assessor shall have a seal which is to appear on all such notes, bonds, etc., and the absence of this seal or the ab- sence of such note or bond on the Assessor's list renders -the same -non-negotiable and non-collectible. The bill further provides that if such prop- erty is seld or ass'gned to any person, per- sons or corporation in violation of the specifications set forth, the person go dis- ng of such property shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. ~~ A similar bill to the one proposed by Rep- resentative Slate. was .introduced in the House by’ Representative Fogle of Schuy- ler County at the session of ‘93. It passed the House but was killed in the Senate by a slight majority. In main features the Slate bill is similar to the Fogie bill According to the present law governing assessments the taxpayer is only required to give the Assessor an aggregate estimate of the value of his noves and bonds. Repre- sentative Slate said to the Post-Dispatch correspondent to-day that the little word nesroesta: is a choice hiding-place for :ax dodgers. Se “I was careful to eliminate the word ‘ag- gregate’ from.my bill,” said Mr. Slate, ‘‘and instead of that I want an itemized list of motes and bonds and all other securities tha? are taxable under the law, shown to the Assessor, and I want him bound so that he must assess them.’’ Mr. Slate says one purpose of his bill is to catch the immensely wealthy people, who are notorious as tax-dodgers in many in- stances. The ordinary rich man. will not escape either, he says, and in fact he wants everybody to pay simply a legal tax and no more, e estimates that if his bill be- comes a law the revenue of the State will be increased about one-fourth and probably more than that. ; Representative Slate is an attorney of large experience and it is believed that he has drawn the bill so that there will be no technical defects discovered to hinder its passage. POLICE INVESTIGATION. Speaker Farris Announces the Com- mittee Appointed. Special to the Post-Disnatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 18.—Soon after the House convened this afternoon Speaker Farris appointed the special com- mittee of seven to make investigation of the St. Louis and Kansas City police af- fairs. The committee is as follows: Pope, Avery, Dougherty of Howard, Davidson, Hood, Clymer and Prather. The first four named are Democrats. Hood isa Fusionist and Clymer and Prather are Republicans. Speaker Farris said to the Post-Dispatch correspondent to-day that he thought best not to have St. Louis or Kansas City men on the committee, inasmuch as those are the cities involved. IN THE HOUSE. Blacksmiths Want Protection From Slow Customers. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 18.—Con- siderable merriment was created in the House by the introduction of a petition from the blacksmiths of Saline County praying for the enactment of a law pro- viding that blacksmiths may have a lien on horses, wagons and other animals, ve- hicles and implements upon which they perform labor. The reason cited for such request is that collections are very slow. The House this afternoon voted to recon- sider the resolution adopted Friday calling for a recount of ballots in the St, Louis Fourth Legislative District. The effect of this is that by agreement of the contesting parties the ballots will not be recounted and the contestants will now rely upon their depositions to establish their claims. A numerously signed petition was present- ed in the House by Representative Elis from Vernon County, asking for the passage of the Dyer anti-lobby law. The petition was referred to the Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence. Numerous petitions asking for a reduction in passenger rates were read in the House this afternoon. New Missouri Corporations.

HE IS “HARD OF HEARING.” Thin Explanation Why Such Tmport- ant Work Was Taken Out of the Ambassador’s Hands. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D.'C., Jan, 18.—President Cleveland’s executive message to the Senate conveying to that body the correspondence between Great Britain and the United States on the genera] arbitration treaty discloses that Thomas F. Bayard has been snubbed. His vaunted influence with the English Gov- ernment was not availed of during the entire negotiations, and very early in the progress of the treaty Secretary Olney asked Lord Salisbury to consent to change the basis of operations from London to Washington. He did so, and thereafter all negotiations were carried on betwéen Mr. Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Ambassador. The explanation of this turning down of Minister Bayard, which passes current at the State Department, is that his unfortu- nate deafness precluded his being of any assistance. It is a fact, however, that Mr. Olney, who must be credited with proposing the treaty to Lord Salisbury, and who car- ried it from the abstract theory to the concrete proposition now awaiting ratifica- tion in the Senate, never took Mr. Bayard into his confidence. That is the highly in- teresting story disclosed in the Pres‘dent’s message to the Senate to-day. THE SENATE. Senator Sherman Receives General Congratulations. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Senator Sher- man of Ohio was on the floor of the Senate to-day for the first time since the announce- ment that he would enter the McKinley Cabinet as Secretary of State. He received congratulations from a number of his col- leagues. Mr. Cullom (Rep.) Lilinois, read a telegram from the Bankers’ Club of Chicago urging tthe ratification of the Anglo-American peace treaty. The Senate has passed the army appro- priation bill. THE HOUSE. The Day Devoted to the District of Columbia. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The attendance in the House was light to-day, as every- thing promised a dull session. An ar- rangement had been made whereby to-day was to be given to business reported from The Committee on the District of Columbia, There was no general call of committees. From the Committee on Indian. Affairs the bill ‘to pronibit the sale of intoxicating drinks to Indians was called up and occa- sioned some debate. The bill imposes a fine of $100 and imprisonment for sixty days upon any person who shall sell intoxicating liquors of any kind whatsoever to any In- dian to whom allotment of land had been made while the title is held in trust by the Government. Mr. Maddox (Dem.) of Georgia argued that the bill was unconstitutional. The bill was passed—8&2-22. CURE FOR CONSUMPTIVES. ~_- Prcposed Sanitarium to Be Located at Fort Marcy. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Congress will be asked some day this week to consider a bill to transfer an abandoned military reser- vation in the city of Santa Fe, N. M., to the American Invalid Aid Society of Boston, This society is composed of prominent New England women who propose to erect on this tract a sanitarium for the treatment of consumptives. It is not proposed to give the land to ‘the society outright. Four acres are to be deeded to the society now and the remaining thirteen and a half acres are to be leased to it for a period of twenty- five years. At ‘the end of that period the whole tract will be given to the. society, pro- vided it has in the meantime established there a sanitarium for the treatment of con- sumptives. The abandoned reservation was once one of the most famous military posts in the West. It was called Ft. Marcy. In the days before the Pacific railroads were built a large garrison was stationed there, and the soldiers were often called upon to pro- tect emigrant trains. National Beer Inspector.

Dr. Adella Walters,’ the Woman De. fendant, Tells Her Story of In- nocence on the Stand. The trial of the counterfeiters continued Monday morning with tie defense still pre- senting testimony. The opening of court was delayed by the tardiness of one of the jurors, who had been out of town over Sunday. He was wise enough to get Judge Phillips’ consent, so ‘that he escaped a jack- eting. The Judge was in his customary mood and kept the attorneys for the defense with their noses to the grindstone. The first witness of *he morning was Ralph Creese, whose cross-examination was continued by District Attorney Clopton. He was asked why he did not ‘tell the govern- ment officers at the‘time of she raid that he knew Ullrich, instead of denying it. Witness said it was because he thought there was something wrong about the case. ‘‘Wihy did not you tell shem then that you were trying to get work in the Treasury Department through Ullrich?’ ‘‘Because my lawyers told me not to. Then the goverument officers knew this.”’ “Who knew it?’ “Capt. Murphy knew it.” “Did you ever have a conversation with Capt. Murphy?’’ “Yes, sir, in his office. rt was in February, I think. I called there and told him I wanted to enter the secret service; that I knew something that would be of value to the Government. He told me to write to Secretary Carlisle. I did so, and one of the letters was found in my trunk.” “What's that?’ asked Judge Phillips sharply. “One of the letters you wrote to Secretary Carlisle you found in your trunk?” “Yes, sir,”’ said the witness fidgetting un- easily under the stern gaze of the court. “I kept a copy of the letter.’’ “What did you do that for?’’ demanded the Judge. ‘‘Did you keep copies of all these let- ters,’’ and he laid his hand on a bundle of letters lying on his desk. “No, sir, but I wrote the letter to Mr. Carlisle to see how it looked,’’ nervously responded the witness, evidently rattled by the court’s turning interrogator, ‘‘and then I copied it.” “Have you ever made any effort to get this letter?” asked the Judge. The witness misunderstood him. He began to explain‘that his lawyers had tried to get it from the Secret Service officers. He had reference to the copy and the Judge to the letter that was sent. When he finally under- stood what the court meant, he said he had not sent to Washington in an effort to find the letter. The court told him he ought to have done so. F. F. Lockwood of the Lockwood Engrav- ing Co. qualified as an expert on engraving. After a technical examination as to the lates found in the Pendleton avenue house, e declared that they did not resemble the Government plates from which money is made except in the impression they con- tained. The Government plates read from left to right; the plates in this case from right to left. After Lockwood was excused Dr. Adella Walters was put on the stand by the de- fense. She looked scared and fidgeted nerv- ously. She is not a pretty woman. Her hollow cheeks and sunken eyes give her a woe-begone.appearance. Mrs. Walters testified that she had gone to Dayton, O., to see Creese on Oct. 18 1896, at his request. He had written her a letter. She had not been able to find his letter, although it was in her house on A a avenue up to the time of the raid. “Burns,” put in the judge, addressing himself to the secret service man who sat by Mr. Clopton’s side, ‘‘did you get that letter ?’’ **I did not, your Honor,”’ said Burns, and he went on to explain about how he got possession of the other letters. The witness was then allowed to continue the story of her trip to Dayton. She saw Creese there. The purpose of the visit was to buy some Government bonds. She gave him $200 on this trip for this purpose. Later she sent a draft for $600 for the same pur- pose. The draft was produced in court and identified. Ullrich came to her house in St. Louis first in January. Her father met him at the depot. At the house they talked about the bond business and she gave him $100, taking his receipt. After that they sang hymns and talked religion. ‘What occurred between you ond Ullrich about the money?’ ‘“‘He said it was all right. Just. before he left he asked me to lend him $50. I told him I did not have it. Then he asked me to get fa*her to lend it to him. I went over to father’s with him and Mr. Creese, but) we 'did not get it there. He was awful mad ‘about it. He was mad clear down to Grand avenue.’’ Mrs. Walters said that during the whole time Ullrich was at her house no plates were made nor photographing of any kind done. “Do you remember the date the camera came to the house?” ; “Yes. It was the Sunday before the ar- rest.’’ “Up to that time had you had any con- versation with him concerning coun*er- feiting or making plates?’ ‘No, I had not.” ‘Did he make any request of you regard- ing something to be photographed.,’’ “Yes, he asked me to get him a $20 bill. He gave me two tens and told me to go and get a twenty. I triea, but could not, so came back and gave him back the money.” Mrs. Walters’ examination concluded with her statement that Ullrich had pinned the bill on the trunk cover for the purpose of photographing it. Mr. Clopton then took up the examina- tion and asked her how long and how well she knew Creese. She said she had first met him in 1894 and was engaged to be married to him when she went to Dayton, O. “You sent Ullrich $10 to come to St. Louis after you had given him $900 without your ever having seen him. “Yes, he said he wanted to come to St. Louis on very important business,’’ When questioned about the letters to Ul- rich. she said she addressed them to Mrs, Ullrich so that if he was not at home his wife would open them and forward them to him. She did not sign any of her letters “Can you explain what they were going to do with those $20 photographs?’ ‘‘He said he was going to take them out West to use tn making an arrest. I thought he was an upright, honest man in the Gov- ernment service.”’ The court then took a recess until 2 o'clock. YOU CAN TAKE YOUR CHOICE. Rev. Hicks Says Cold Weather and Frankenfield Says It Will Be Warm. St. Louis will have some kind of weather the next few days. Just what kind it will be is not clear because the prophets disagree. Dr. Frankenfield says it. will be warmer and Rev. Irl Hicks says there is going to be snow and blizzards and all kinds of cold weather. Hicks said Monday that winter had commenced, and that it would be cold until well into April. He predicted a cold winter beginning Monday. Dr. Frankenfield, the Signal Service fore- caster, said: “‘The temperature ~-day is just about normal for this time of\year. It may be a little cooler’ to-night, bug it will be warmer Tuesday and Po sti warm- er Wednesday. eyond tha® woeld not attempt to go, but we will certain not have very severe weather for any corgider- able length of time th's year.

ANTI-EXPECTORATING LEAGUE TO BE ORGANIZED. WAR. ON TOBACCO. SPITTERS. Mrs. Forster Is at the Head of a| W Movement to Benefit Health and Decency. The ladies of St. Louis are preparing to Start a crusade against the male brute who expectorates in public places. In a short time the foundation of the Wom- an’s Anti-Expectoration League will be laid and an attempt will be made to enlist in its membership some of the most prominent so- ciety leaders in St. Louts. The most prominent worker connected with the movement so far is Mrs. Forster, wife’ of Police Commissioner Forster. Mrs. Forster has. given the expectoration evil and its deleterious effects a great deal of study and she has come to the conclusion that it can only be remedied by heroic ac- tion on the part of the women of St. Louis, She believes that tf it is once understood that the women consider the habit a nui- sance, it will be discontinued or modified, so as to be less dangerous to the public health than at present. She believes that the women of St. Louis can succeed in having a law passed di- rected against those who are se forgetful of others as to expectorate in street cars and other public places. Within the coming week Mrs. Forster will talk the matter ever with prominent women of her acquaintance with a view to forming a society having as its sole object the elim- ination of ‘the evil. Mrs. Forster said Monday morning: “The nuisance which the eood women of St. Louis would like to see suppressed is grow- ing more general and more dangerous all the time. Of course, I know there are sOme women who would feel above having their names connected with a society called the Anti-Expectoration League.’ It does not sound so nice as the #s of some other clubs, but we have to face conditions as they are, We cannot look for pleasant, in- offensive things to seform. The expector- ating habit is both unpleasant and offénsive and demands attention. “I cannot understand why men will, ex- pectorate on the city pavements when they could just as well use the gutter, which is built to carry off such refuse. The practice is not only ungentlemanly, but unhealthful, The refuse on the pave- ment is picked up by women’s skirts and carried into their homes. In this way con- sumption and even worse diseases are apt to be and very often are propagated in places where they never would exist were it not for the prevalence of the habit. No matter how careful a woman may be she a ot keep her skirts free from these de- osits. “If men realized that this habit might ultimately caus® women to diseard their skirts and don bloomers I think they would discontinue it. I am sure men would rather see women wear skirts than bloomers. “The man who expectorates in street cars should also be suppressed. That will be dif- ficult to do, though, as long as some of the lines permit «moking on the cars. Some of the lines even provide smoking cars, thus inviting the evil they are trying to eliminate. “I think if the ladies get together they can bring about the desired reform. When the men are made ‘to realize the real dan- ger to health that may result .from their action, and that»the women will frown on them for it, they will be apt to be more careful. “Stull, if moral force will not have the desired effect, the women should go further and enlist the law on their side. I am sure we could have a law passed providing a penalty for offenses of the kind. The matter has been discussed in a general way by Mrs. Frank P. Blair and myself. I will do some missionary work among my friends in the next few days; and-am sure a pow- erful organization of women will be formed. “I do not know just how far American women would like to go in publicly rebuking an offender. They might take such extreme méasures as two Parisian women did on one occasion with my late husband, Mr. Over- stolz, when he was a young man. In those days most American men used chewing to- ae Mr. Overstolz was addicted to the habit. “One day in Paris he was walking along one of the principal streets. He was ele- gantly dressed, and his distinguished ap- pearance naturally attracted a good deal of attention. He passed very nicely in the throng cf French people until he did just what nine men out of, ten do in America to- day—expectorated onthe sidewalk. “Two fashionably dressed women were passing at the time. One of them turned and as if speaking to the entire throng said: “Voila Le Bete’—‘Look at the beast.’ Mr. Overstolz never used tobacco in that form after that. “There may be American women who would be willing to call a man a beast un- der like circumstances. We would at least have the men who indulge in this habit and expectorate in public places know that we think Bey are beasis, whether we tell thém so or not.’’ Street railway men who were informed of Mrs. Forster’s intention evinced great interest in the movement. Supt. Thomas W. Murphy of the Union Depot system said: “I think the formation of such a club by representative ladies really in ear- nest would be a very g00d thing. We have signs in our cars asking passengers not to spit-on the floor, but they do not have much effect. All we can do is to have our conductors remind pas- sengers of the rule. If they do not see fit to stop we have to let them continue to deface the floor of the car. We have never felt ourselves warranted in ejecting a pas- senger, because there is no law against the offense.’’ Superintendent George W. Baumhoff of the Lindell I'nes said: “IT am very glad to hear that the ladies have taken up thie matter. I am sure they will do a great deal of good in eliminatin the evil if they enlist a suffic‘ent number o women in the cause. It is doubtful whether women in all parts of the city would be wi'l- ing to co-operate with the club to the ex- tent of rebuking a man they see expectorat- ing in a street car, Still, the moral effect of the existence of such a club would be great. On our line each of the conductors carry a number of cards, like this. They hand one to a passenger who breaks the rule. That is all that we can do.”’ M. Baumhoff’s card reads like this: NST THE RUL ANY. _ John Bergin, superintendent of the North- ern Central line, said: ate in the street cars is a filthy hab- it which we would do anything in our pow- er to deatroy. We would heartily co-operate with any body of ladies who take up the reform. At present we can only request our patrons not to break the rule. We had two or three passengers arrested, but could make no case against them. If the ladies mean business I wish them succeas.” Supt. James F. Davidson of the Missouri Railway said: “We are not bothered as much as some of the other lines with this nuisance. On two of our jines We allow no smok'ng, even on the platform. Still there fs a great field for reform. I am sure that if we have the ladies with us we can do something. ur con- ductors are instructed to warn @ passenger once. If he persists in_ breaking the rule the conductor is expected to put him off the car. This has been done frequently. NOW FOR LOUIS CELLA.

NEWPORT, Ky., Jan. 18.—The First Na- tional Bank of this city closed its doors this morning. Heavy investments in real estate in this city are said to be the cause. The failure was a great surprise to the busi- ness men of the city. While a statement was given out by the officers that no one would lose anything, there were all sorts of rum- ors flying about. Fortunately, the Integrity of the officers is such that no suggestion of wrong-doing has found credence. The first evidence of weakness was the refusal of the officers to pay on Saturday afternoon to the Treasurer of the Bellevue School Board, which he had but recent! and which he had been advised ought to get out. This was not made public until to- ay. Cashier T. B.

Later in the day George Youlsey, a brother signed individually to the Covington Trtst Co. This was followed by the Standard Car- riage Supply Co., of which George Youlsey was president, also assigning to the Cov- ington Trust Co. The capital stock of the Standard Co. is $9,000. The assets and lia- bilities of the Standard Co. and of George Youlsey individually are not given. © The assignment of both is due to the first Na- tional Bank closing its doors to-day. It is learned now that the directors were in session all day last Saturday, on which day the bank opened with only $7,500 in its vaults. At that time it was known the bank could not open its doors to-day. At that ee Cashier Youlsey resigned and his resignation was promptly accepted. The, banks in Covington agreed on Saturday af- ternoon to loan the bank $60,000, but later the proposition was declared off. Con- gressman Berry, who holds $75,000 of the stock, made special appeals, but all calls for help were in vain. The directors H. G. Gunckle, John Griese, J. F. eCracken, George Youlsey, Charles Spinks, J. A. Winter, John Trapp, Charles Weidman and Joseph Wright all offered’‘to give their in- dividual indorsement for the ,000 of lia- bilities, but the cash could not be secured with which to continue business. CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 18.—No excitement is created in Cincinnati by the N wanes Ky., bank failure. Most of the banks, claim to have known that the bank’ has been in straitened condition for some time. It is said that President John Trapp, who was elected President last week, is sick at heme in consequence of the failure and can- not be seen. Cashier You is also in- disposed and in fact none of the officers can be seen, , Mr. Trapp is said to have a deposit of $15,000 in the bank to hold $11,000 of stock and to be indorsed for cashier Youlsey to the amount of $60,000. Congressman Berry also has a large interest in the bank, be- ing interested with the cashier in a land company. It is charged that heavy loans to Youlsey are among the causes of the | failure.

HANNA’S CHANCES DISCUSSED. Charles Parsons of St. Louis the Latest Man Named for the Treas- ury Portfolio. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 18.—Senator Sherman, who was interviewed as he passed through Pittsburg, afver accepting the pre- miership of the next administration, now says he was misunderstood. “TIT could not have made certain state- ments attributed * me,’’ said he, “‘and did not. I expressed no opinion as to what this government ought to do on the Cuban ques- tion, and any statement ¢hat can be con- strued as indicative of any governmental policy or that might be accepted as the views of the incoming administration ig in- accurate. The statement attributed to me that I understood that Prime Minister Can- ovas had outlined a plan of governmental reform which would give to Cuba practical autonomy and would, I hoped, settle the question, is one *o which I do not take ex- ception. I understand that such a plan is being worked out and if it gives Cuba such autonomy as the Canadians enjoy the cause for Cuba’s grievance will in great measure be removed.” The Cabinet situation is growing interest- ing, that feature of it especially which bears on Ohio politics. It is announced in one breath that Hanna will stick to the finish in the race for the Senatorship, and in the next comes a denial] from anna that he has announced himself or that he is engaged in any scramble for the place. It is well known that Hanna will have no walk over. Foraker will appose him and Gov. Bushnell is in with Foraker. Such expressions as have emanated from.the Governor and his friends during his visit to New York give small encouragement to the Cleveland boss. Late Cabinet gossip includes the names of Charles Parsons, the St. Louis banker, who has been indorsed for Secretary of the Treasury by the Nattonal Bankers’ Associa- tion; Congressman Harmer of Philadelphia, lace not mentioned, and Senator Cullom of llinois, whose name is also associated with the Treasury.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE. uoted as say- e made from Some of the Important Measures to Be Introduced. TOPBPKA, Kan., Jan. 18.—The present Leg- islature, which is strongly Populistic in its make up, is being fed with a flood of bills touching innumerable subjects. One im- portant measure in course of construction by Senatof Lupfer, Chairman of “he Appor- tionment Committee, will seek to reappor- tion she State tor Congressional purposes. Another district will be added and the Pop- ulists will do everything possible to gerry- mander the State so that they will have a big advantage in future Congressional elec- “ons. The Dill will meet bitter opposition from the Republicam minority in both houses: A bill to mark convict-made articles has ; ,- and -witt followed’ by that inmates of ‘the peni- tentiary be divided into lots, a large number to be taken to Western Kansas to dig irri- ation ditches, others to be assigned to astern Kansas to build roads, others to raise farm products for the State insti- tutions, and the vicious ones to break rock in ‘the penitentiary, to be used in building State macadainized roads. These bills were prepared by advocates of union labor, and representatives of the unions will attempt to secure their passage. Bennington’s initiative and referendum will be examined by ‘the Clearing-house Committee and if considered advisable ex- Gov. Lewelling will introduce it in the Senate. It provides that a petition of 60 “names may cause a measure to be submit- ted to a direct vote of the people rather than to allow it to be passed by the Legislature. The original Popwulists are in favor of the bill, and will do all they cam to force it to passage. It will meet th vigorous opposi- tion from other quarters. TELEGRAPH BRIEFS.

WANE AND TMASON AGING HE MACHINE —_——_——- @ --- -- STATUS OF THE ILLINOIS SENA- TORIAL CONTEST. FORECAST OF THE CAUCUS. Names of All the Candidates, With Sidelights-and Gossip Concern- ing Their Chances. ——— Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 18.—There will be held in the Supreme Court rooms, over at the Capitol Building, to-night at 8 o’clock, the most interesting and exciting meeting ever convened under one roof be- fore in the history of Illinois.It will be inter- esting from the fact that a United States Senator will be chosen to succeed Senator Palmer at Washington, It will be exciting from the fact that there are pitted against one another eight of the brainiest, nerviest and best known politicians of the Sucker State. These two features will make the gathering an all-important one. Senator Homer Aspinwall will doubtless be chosen Chairman of the meeting, which is to be open only to members of the General As- sembly and 'the members of the press. The 1% members of the Legislature who will be entitled to seats in the caucus, with the twenty-five or more newspaper men and correspondents, will fill the historic and beautiful chamber to its fullest. It is ex- ‘ted that the session will be a long one. Felegraph managers have instruments near at hand and will have a large force of operators. ‘Members have made arrange- ments for lunch, cigars and liquid fluids ga- lore, so that no recess or adjournment may be taken on acount of hunger. Gov. John ag | Tanner and his machine will be near at hand to advire and direct their colleagues within’ the closed doors of the chamber. Following is the revised list of candidates for the Senatorship: William E. Mason of Chicago, leader in the race. William Lorimer of Chicago, member of Congress. Albert J. Hopkins of Aurora, member of Congress. Walter J. Reeves of Streator, member of Congress. Joseph W. Fifer of Bloomington, ex-Gov- ernur, mentioned. Joseph Cannon of Danville, member. of Congress. William L. Harper of Chicago, business man, mentioned. Charles B Farwell of Chicago, ex-Senator, mentioned. John F. McNulta cf Chicago, business man, mentioned. George Hunt of Chicago, ex-Attorney Gen- eral, mentioned. Clark E. Carr of Galesburg, ex-diplomat. R. R. Hitt of Mount Carroll, member of Congress. Samuel W. Allerton of Chicago, farmer and nacker. John M. Smythe, William H. Harper and “Uncle Bick” Oglesby. The latter, however, not in®’ the running, but most favorably “‘mentioned.’’ Many of these have no regular head- quarters, excepting under their hats, while a few are not here in person, but have aggressive, energetic representatives hard at work in their interest. Some of them are very coy and announce their candidate's entry with such questions as this: ‘‘What do you think of so and so’s chances if he should come out?’ If a favorable answer is made “he entry is then announced. Other- wise it is not. The evident intention of John Riley Tan- ner is to defeat Mason or any other man the opposition may name. This fact was mani- fested late last night when members of the Legislazure said that “it’s better to be with the organization than against it’ especially if State patronage affects vour district.” A member from Central Illinois said: ‘‘Tam- ner has given us orders to defeat Mason. He wants it done on the first ballot in the caucus to-night, but I don"t believe we can do it until the second for this reason: Many counties last fall instructed their rep- resentatives 'to vote for Mason. They are now here tied hand and foot, and must vote for him on the first ballot. After that is cast they can and will vote for Lorimer, or 'the organization man. That’s why Mason nor any other opposition candidate cannot be elected either to-night or in Wednes- davy’s election by the joint session.’’ Mason still claims to have seventy votes nailed down; Lorimer holds to fifty-three, and Hitt, Carr, Allerton, et al., ‘say they are in the race to win and have fair pros- pects of doing so. The balloting in the Senate and House for a United States Senator commences to- morrow morning, both Houses balloting separately. Wednesday the two Houses will meet in joint session and begin ballot- ing for the election of the Senator. This is the law. If no selection is made on the first day the balloting will continue until a choice is made. If no selection is made at the caucus to- night the same can be adjourned until next day, and after the balloting has com- menced and no selection made the caucus can be reconvened and continued until either a selection is made or the joint ses- sion elects. The prospects for the selection going be- fore the joint session are more than good, although many Senators and Representa- tives hold that a selection will be made to- night. and if not from the present array of talent from some ‘“‘dark horse.”’ Some members fear that if the selection goes into the joint session that Lorimer or some other machine candidate will secure Baron Fava, Italian Ambassador to the) United States, has gone to Rome and will not return, Charlies Rudd Smith, in editorial ch of the New York Journal, was found dead from asphyxiation.

ARMS ARE BADLY WANTED. With These and Ammunition, Weyler Can Be Whipped This Winter, Says the Cuban. NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—A local paper prints an interview with Gen. Rivera, obtained in the field near Canso, near Pinar del Rio. In this interview Gen. Rivera says: “For nine months we have been depending upon our strategy and knowledge of the province to keep us out of a pitched battle. “I wish it could be communicated to our friends in the United States that cannon are more in the way of ourselves than that of the enemy in this province. In the first place they are inconvenient to take about over the hills. The cannon we have now rep- resent an outlay of $4,000 or $5,000, and yet almost 1,000 rifies could be purchased for that sum. Of course, when we are ina osi- tion to assault Havana, heavy guns will be a necessity. Do we expect to do so? No, not very soon. About the end of the winter, I hope. Tt would be wrong for me to give our friends in the United States the impres- sion that we are perfectly able to take care of ourselves, no matter what happens. Some of my best friends may criticize me for speaking so plainly, but I wish the Cubans of New York, Philadelphia, Jack- sonville and Key West to know that we here in Pinar del Rio, like our brothers of the Orient, are willing to die for Cuba or to win. We cannot fight alone with our hands, nor even with machetes, against an enemy that is equipped, fed and drilled. “We do not need men, and, above all, we do not want foreigners to come unléss they are men of military science. We do not want young Americans to come to Cuba as fight- ers. Not one in ten knows a word of the language of our country—a language we would change, if we could, since we dislike everything Spanish. “There were perhaps forty or fifty Amer- icans with Maceo when. he entered this province, but I do not believe there are a half dozen of them left. “I do not know how Gen. Gomez feels in this particular, but as far as I am con- cerned I do not want any foreigners. There are plenty of Cubang in the United States who should be, and I presume are, willing and anxious to come to the assistance of their fighting brethren. If men are to be sent, let Cubans be the men. “But, as a matter of fact, we are not in need of men at all. The whole native popu- lation is with us, and I am confident an army of 50,000 could be placed in Havana province before the winter is over if we had but the arms and ammunition. Our Cubans are brave and patriotic and willing to die for our republic, but they are not yet strong enough to face an enemy’s bullets with empty hands. Tell the American peo- ple té give us rifles and a supply of cart- ridges, and we will whip Weyler before the winter ends. ‘You must not think the force with Maceo when he entered the province have been killed off by the enemy. No, his men are still in Pinar del Rio and are only awaiting ‘he ammunition. None have surrendered. They are more in earnest than ever. In various places throughout the province we have guns and machetes hidden, perhaps there are 2,000 of the former and 3,000 of the latter—but ammunition is wanting, and we must wait. “Gomez will enter the field with a much larger number of men than were the com- bined forces last year, and, you mark me, he will sweep Havana well.”’ AT HAVANA’S GATES. Feur Thousand Cubans Snap Their ringers at the Capital. KEY WEST, Jan. 18.—On Friday, 4,000 Cubans under command of Brig.-Gen. Cas- tillo and Cols. Acosta and Juan Delgado marched into Colvaria, a suburb of Havana, drove out the Spanish outposts and re- mained in the town for three hours, invit- ing an attack from the troops quartered about the capital. The insurgents were plainly visible, but no effort was made to molest them, and they finally marched away, shouting derisively at the Spaniards. Every province east of Havana seems to be in control of the Insurgents. The Span- iards are cooped up in their fortresses and they do not venture out except in force. The Havana garrison is being drilled in heavy gun practice, and when the Olivette sailed Saturday the cannon were roaring as though bombardment was in progress. Tuesday the Spanish General, Segura, with 4,000 men, advanced to the attack of Sabu- quito, near Manzanillo, occupied by Garcia, with 3,000 men; but the Cubans poured in such a withering fire that the Spaniards broke and flied in disorder. In the two charges the Spaniards lost 329 men killed and nearly 400 wounded. Of the Spaniards killed over twenty were officers. On Thursday Gen. Rivera, successor to Antonio Maceo in Pinar del Rio, attacked the trocha near Artemisa, where a consid- erable body of Spanish troops are sta- tioned. Advices received here state that the Spaniards lost nearly 200 killed in this engagement and a large number of wound- ed. Two hundred of the Spaniards wound- ed in this battle reached Havana Friday at the gme Weyler was sending out stories that there were no insurgents left in Pinar del Rio and that the province was pacific. Letters from Cubans in Havana denounce stories published in this country that the Cuban leaders and sympathizers are ready to treat with the crown on a basis of au- tonomy. They are emphatic in the state- ment that the Cubans will never accept anything at the hands of Spain but abso- lute independence. Gomez as never ut- tered nor authorized anything to the con- trary. ‘MORE FILIBUSTERS. An Expedition Reported to Have Landed Near Matanzas. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—A cable to the Sun from Havana says: A sensation in the Palace and in the office of Admiral Navarro was created Sunday by the news that another filibustering expedi- tion has landed safely in Cuba. The fact was made known, first by a telegram from Matanzas, that east of the city of Matanzas an unknown steamer had been seen landing a cargo and some men. No cruiser or gun- boat was near at hand, or could be sent to the place. A strong column was sent in pursuit of the landing party, but it is sup- posed that the pursuers were too late. This affair has contributed more fuel to increase the irritation of the army against the navy. The Marquis of Ahumada and Admiral Navarro this morni exchanged angry words over the matter., Navarro sa'd that ail the navies of Europe could not prevent the landing of filibustering expe- ditions on the Cuban coast; but with 200,000 men, he would think, good Generals, know- ing their duty, should be able to whip the insurgents on land. Death and Burial of Maceo. JACKSONVILLE, Fia., Jan. 18.—A letter was received here Friday from Col. Andre Hernandez. now in command of the detach- ment of the Cuban army encamped near Havana, ving the truth about Maceo’s death a his subsequent burial. As he says that he wae in command of the Cuban detachment that recovered the body from sad. Cirujeda’s command and afterward buried it, his statement should settle the matter. He writes: ““We burted the body in a secret and secure place. Only myself and a few selected men and. officers know the location. In due time it will be marked, I¢ known now the murderous Spaniards would try to get it and parade it es showing their | great triumph.” Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Caildren teething cures wind colic, diarrhoea, ete. | | JOSEPH C.

Mr, Willard was very wealthy and was the owner of the hotel in this cfty bearing his name, which has been the stopping place in Wash- ington of public men froni the entire coun- try. One son, J.

LONDON, Jan. 18.—The Liberal Peers, at a meeting held today at Spencer House, this city, the residence of Earl Spencer, unanimously elected the Earl of Kimberly, the late Minister of Foreign Affairs, to be leader of the Liberal party in the House of Lords, in place of Lord Roseberry, who re- cently resigned. The Earl of Kimberly was born in 182, and has been Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and of India, Ambassa- dor to St. Petersburg, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Lord Privy Seal, twice Secretary of State for the Colonies, Secretary of State for India and Lord President of the Council. THE GENTLE SULTAN. He’s a Kind-Hearted Man, According to Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett. NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—A cablegram from Paris to the Herald says: Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, a special dip- lomatic agent from Great Britain, passed through Paris to-day on his return to Lon- don, after visiting Constantinople and other European capitals. “My main object,’ he says, ‘‘was to as- certain the real state of affairs in Con- stantinople; also to do anything in my power to help promote the good understanding between England and the Triple Alliance, The concert of Europe is a delicate matter. We might co-operate with France in the East, as England did so successfully in the Crimean war, but Russia now éntirely dl- rects French policy in Turkey, and Russian policy is hopelessly antagonistic to British interests. “Russia’s great ambition is Constanti- nople. Let Russia get Constantinople and the Straits, and it would be fatal to English supremacy in the Mediterranean, and ulti- mately the English Empire in India.’’ Sir Ellis asserted that a sham agitation has been going on in England since Decem- ber, 1894, against the Sultan, adding tHat the reports of massacres were largely un- founded. He described the Sultan as “‘a kind-hearted man,” but one who “is in a position of the most desperate kind.” Judging from the tenor of Sir Ellis con- versation, it is apparent that the reported understanding between the Powers respect- ing Turkish reforms, if such an understand- ing ever existed, is likely to go by the board, owing to the clashing territorial ambitions of England and Russia and their mutual distrust of one another.

State Railroad Commission Recom- mended and the Use of Convict Labor on Railroads. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 18.—Gov.-elect Dan W. Jones was inaugurated in the pres- ence of the General Assembly at 1 o’clock this afternoon, the oath of office being ad- ministered by Chief Justice Bun. The lob- bies, corridors, aisles and galleries of the House of Representatives were crowded to suffocation. The following recently elected State offic- ers were also sworn in at the sametime: At. torney-General E. B. Kinsworthy, Secre- tary of State A. C, Hull, Auditor Clay Sloan, Treasurer Ransom Gully, Superintendent of Public Instruction Junius Jordan, Chief Justice H. G. Bun, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Simon P. Hughes, Commis- sioner of Agriculture W. G. Vincenheller, Land Commissioner J. F. Ritchie. All these officials except Gov. Jones, Secretary of State Hull and Auditor Sloan began their second terms, Following are the salient features of Gov. Jones’ address: ELECTION LAW. I recommend some amendments to our election law. In the first place, I think it exceedingly unfortunate that our consti- tution requires the ballots of electors to be numbered. It destroys the secrecy of the ballot; for, although the same section (sec- tion 3, article 3, constitution) provides that “the election officers shall be sworn or affirmed not to disclose how any elector shall have voted, unless required to do so as witnes:es in a judicial proceeding, or a proceeding to contest an’ election,’’ and al- though the statute provides a severe penalty for a violation of this prohibition, still we know as a matter of fact that it is constant- ly violated with impunity, and that it is no difficult matter to ascertain how any elector has voted. This should not be. There is a considerable portion of our citi- zens whose employment places them in such a condition of dependence upon their em- ployers that they fear to exercise the elec- tive franchise in accordance with their own will while there is an opportunity of that fact becoming known. t is useless to la- ment thrs apparent lack of manhood in an American citizen. With a wife and chil- dren dependent upon the situation he holds, the laws should not be so construed as to subject him to the alternative of losing e‘th- cr the situation or his manhood. And it is equally useless to refer to the law which is designed to protect the employment by unishing the employer who uses threats, ntimidation, coercion, or other improper means to influence his vote. Experience has well demonstrated the fact that 8uch laws are ineffectual to accomplish the pur- pose intended. There can be nothing worse in legislation than a law which compels a law-abiding man to conform his conduct to @ given line of action, and, at the same time, can be easily violated with impunity by all law breakers. I therefore recommend that you submit to the people an amendment to the constitution revoking the section to which I have referred, and providing for ab- solute secrecy of the ballot. The election law is a vast improvement upon the system existing before its pas- sage; but it was an entirely new depart- ure, in the main, and its imperfections could only be detected by experience. There can be no doubt that, even with the most perfect laws, frauds in political elec- tions will, to some extent, be committed. There is entirely too much human nature in man to absolutely prevent this. But the law itself should not be at fault. Kk should be so constructed that all fair- minded men, of every shade of politics, would yield assent to its fairness. Every qualified elector is entitled to cast his vote according to his own will and to have it counted as cast, and he should not have to rely entirely upon the opposite and domi- nant political party to know that this is done. There are so many shades of politics in the State that a system allowing each of them representation upon election beards would be too cumbersome and impractic- able. But in my judgment, fairness re- quires that at least one of the minority parties, and that to be the one, in the State and counties respectively, having the larg- est number of adherents as reckoned by the élection returns, should have representa- tion upon every election board, both State ‘and county, including judges and clerks of elections. I, therefore, recommend that the law be amended to conform to this view and that its provisions in this regard be mandatory and compulsory. To do this effectively, the clerks of election should be increased to three and the minority mem- ber of the State Board should have the ex- clusive right to name one member of each County Board, and the minority member of each County Board should have the ex- clusive right to name one judge and one clerk to be appointed for each voting place. By this means there can be no tampering with election returns without the knowl- edge or connivance of both parties, and the ery of fraud by the one party or the other will have no significance. I recommend further, that the law be amended in regard to the manner of votin by illiterate electors. While every qualiiel elector is entitled to cast his vote according to his own will, yet he is not entitled to cast it according to the will of another per- son merely, and the law should be so amend- ed that he cannot thus prostitute the elect- ive franchise. To that end the law should provide that two of the judges, of opposite politics, shall prepare the ballot for electors who cannot read or write, or who, by reason of physical disability, are unable to mark the ballot; but that, in doing this, the elector himself shall name each person for whom he wishes to vote, and the office to which he wishes each person named by him elect- ed; and that one of the judges, in the pres- ence of the elector and of the other judge, shall make out the ballot strictly in accord- ance with the will of the elector as thus by him expressed, and not otherwise. And the judges should be prohibited, under severe penalties, from making any suggestions to the elector in regard to his ballot, or giving him any information whatever in relation to the candidates for office, or having any con- versation whatever with his tn the polling room, other than to ask him to name each person for whom he wishes to vote and the office to which he wishes each person so named by him elected. By this means the will of the elector himself will find expres- sion through his ballot. RAILROAD COMMISSION, I recommend the enactment of a law creat- ing a State Railroad Commission. Sec. 10, art. 17, of the Constitution, provides that ‘the General Assembly shall pass laws to correct abuses and prevent unjust d‘scrim- inations and excessive charges by railroad, canal and turnpike companies for trans- porting freight and passengers, and shall provide for enforcing such laws by adequate penalties and forfeitures.”"" The laws hereto- fore passed to carry out this provision have proved inadequate to accomplish the pur- pose intended. It néeds no argument to sus- tain this declaration. It is a self-evident fact. well attested, and the people demand adequate legislation. I do not believe any legislation for this purpose will be adequate unless a special board of officers is provided to enforce the provisions of the law. Such a board should be invested with as ample powers as the constitution will warrant. I do not approve of legislation which would be oppressive or unjust to any person or property interests; but I do insist that all persons, whether natural or artificial, should be compelled by adequate means to yield implicit obedience to the laws. We can- not tolerate in this State any power above the law, and we cannot submit to the exer- cise of parvcaes, granted by us to corpor- ations, in such manner as to be oppressive or unjust to the people. We should not op- press; neither should we submit to oppres- sion, INSOLVENT LAW. I recommend the passage of an insolvent law. One of the most important features of the Mosaic Code was the scheme for re- HNeving unfortunate debtors. The f ve- nese of debts is also a leading tenet of the Christian religion.

The man who is buried beneath a load of debt cannot often hope to do any- nine for his creditors, on account of the disadvantages under which he labors, and his usefulness to his family and to the community ts measurably destroyed by the repression of his energy, enterprise and industry. No other country but our own is without a bankrupt law. venerene alone has the power to pass such a law. Until safe ac- tion is taken by Congress, however, the General Assembly ought, by the passage of an insolvent law, give the debtor an opportunity to make terms with his cred. itors, in case they find it to their mutual interest to make a compromise. An act fo accomplish this need do noth- ing more than allow the debtor to turn over to the Chancery Court all his property not exempt from execution, with a provision that, after paying all taxes and rers’ wages, the remainder shall be distributed among his creditors, giving preference to those who are willing to give the debtor a receipt in full. This action on the rt of the debtor should give him the right to dissolve all attachments levied on his prop- erty within some limited time, say ten days prior to the filing of his petition. Such a law has been in force in Minne- sota for some years, and, upon making special inquiry, I find that it has eet satisfaction to the people of tate. Such an act need not disturb or affect our existing statute of assignments, MONBY AND INTEREST. Section 13, Article 19, of the constitution, provides that ‘‘all contracts for a greater rate of interest than 10 per centum per annum shall be void, as to principal and interest, and the General Assembly shall prohibit the same by law; bu? when no rate of interest is agreed upon the rate shall be 6 per centum per annum.’’ I recommend that an amendment be submitted to the people revoking this section and providing tha? no contract for a@ greater rate of in- terest than 6 per centum per annum, made after the adoption of th's amendment, shall be enforced by any court in this State, and that this shall apply * all contracts there- after made in this State, regardless of the pene of payment, and that all laws of the tate upon the subject of usury shall there- after be without force or effect. : Instead of driving money out of the State, as some may contend, I believe it will have the opposite effect. But whether the one r the other effect is produced, I am quite fcertzain that it is not to the interest of our people to pay more than 6 per cent for the use of money, and that their interests will be best subserved by keeping out of the State all money which is of greater value than this. A system of laws which reduces money to a reasonable price, protecting the borrower against a large price by the pro- hibit'on upon the courts which I have sug- gested, and assuring the lender the re- covery of the price, is certainly a more just and equitable system and one more to the credit of our State and people than the one now existing. The t ency of such a sys- tem, it occurs to me, will be to bring into the State all money that may be needed for legit mate purposes and at a price which will ieave some room for profits to those ob- taining it. GOLD CONTRACTS. The Constitution of the United States (sec. 10, art. 1) prohibits the State from making anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts. The financial policy of the National Government for some years past has been to limit the coinage of silver and make it only a subsidiary money. This has been brought about by unconstitutional methods and operates for the benefit of the money changers —_ and against the inter- ests of the people. It has resulted in wide- spread disaster, destruction of values and universal hard times. With this policy and auxiliary to it has grown up a system of contracts requiring payment of debts in gold coin alone. his must, necessar'ly, result in still areaies oppression of the debtor class, especially in cases of long-time contracts, Moreover, it is discrediting the money of the country and gives an undue advantage to the money changers. Such contracts have been held valid in decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States and, while we may dissent from the reasoning of that court, we must, nevertheless, yield obedience to its judgments, But tn these same de- cisions it is also held that such contracts are within the domain of State legislation. Consequently, while we can afford no relief in cases of contracts already made, we can by proper legislation prevent them from be- ing mace and enforced hereafter in this State. I, therefore, recommend the of an act for that purpose. The Governor recommends better inspec- tion of banks; reviews the State debt and advises settiement; asks a reform school for boys, and advises building State railroaods with convict labor.

The people of St. Louis will forgive Judge Zachritz all of his official sins of omission while Circuit Attorney if he wil] bring about as Judge the reforms he has promised in the matter of bonds and bond service in criminal cases. Judge Zachritz says that he will exert his judicial power to the utmost to pre- vent the making of straw bonds, and will also urge legislation making the bond a mortgage on the property described in the inst = att. .0st-Dispatch has already said that the present laws of Missouri are ade- quate, if fully enforced, to put a stop to the straw bond evil. Judge Zachritz has had large experience in these cases and his opinion a@gs to the necessity of addi- tional legislation cannot be overlooked. But the Post-Dispatch will watch the ex- periment of close surveillance and strict ‘responsibility he is to make in his court- room with the conviction that it will demonstrate the fact that we have law enough on that point. One strong, honest Judge on the crim. imal bench can force this reform. If it is to be Judge Zachritz, so much the bet- ten. The people have indorsed him and he is entitled to prove himself worthy of their indorsement. = — —_ THE ILLINOIS MACHINE. Since the withdrawal of Martin B. Mad- Gen at Springfield the fact has been clearly demonstrated, even to those in- capable of seeing it earlier, that the ma- chine could have elected him. He was ‘betrayed in the house of his friends: sac- rificed by those who owed their public life to him, Since his retirement the machine is not in a@g strong position as it was, but it is still strong enough to control. Lorimer is its first choice, but if it cannot elect Lorimer it will easily find a second choice. The machine will not allow the elec- tion of a Senator without its votes. The man who is chosen must be under obliga- tion, real or supposed, to the machine, ———— oe oe —s -- —- THE SPITTING NUISANCE. Se: It is reported that the women of St. Louis are about to begin a crusade in earnest against the spitting fiend in the street cars and public places. This is ‘good news. The nuisance ought to be abated, and of course the ladies can do more towards putting a stop to it than any one else. Much more can be done than has been 80 far accomplished by the posting of Conspicuous placards and by agitating the question in the press. Women should also get the men of their family to promise to abstain from this vile habit. Like charity, reform begins at home, and this reform as much as any other. It is doubtful, however, if a society of women for this purpose would be a good thing for the women themselves. It might have a powerful effect in abating “the nuisance, but is it desirable that a “Rumber of women should, by forming an association — this sole object, keep Prominently before their minds such a Meguating subject? It would be better ' _ that the societies already formed for reforms aud for semi-charitable : work, should adopt this reform as one of the objects for which they will labor. Tt is well to keép this and other re- forms in mind and do what can be done for them at all times. But a society with this sole object is not inviting. The same end could better be reached in other ways. A WORD TO MR. LEE. Mr. George T. Lee, member of the State Legislature from Carter County and Speaker pro tem., professes to be a friend of Fellow Servant legislation. If he is honest in this profession, he has adopted a queer way of showing it when he at- tempts the enlargement of the scope of the bill go as to include lumbermen who work in gaw mills. Unless Mr. Lee is of virginal greenness in legislative experience, he knows that this trick of enlarging the scope of the Fellow Servant bill so as to include enough occupations to insure its defeat is one of the old-time devices of the rail- road lobby. It has been worked so long that it is positively gray-headed and gray-bearded. And it has been flagged so often as a danger point, that none but the blind can fail to see precisely where it stands and what it means. But, whether knowingly or ignorantly, Mr. Lee ig doing the work of the lobby in proposing his amendment. If he demands that saw mills be included because some of his constituents are lumbermen, other members may with equal propriety de- mand its extension to mines because some of their constituents are miners, and oth- ers still may demand that agricultural machinery be included because some of their constituents are farm laborers, And thus the Fellow Servant bill will be de- feated by men professing to be its friends, while the lobby stands off and chuckles without being compelled to show its hand. The eyes of the labor organizations and of all Democrats, whose platform de- manded an honest Fellow Servant bill, should be fixed upon Mr. Lee until the Fellow Servant bill gets out of committee and is passed through the House. And there are a number of other members who will bear similar watching. The Post- Dispatch will name them from time to time as their tactics develop. In the meanwhile, it would be well for the labor organizations that are pressing for a Fellow Servant bill to.send a representa- tive to Carter County to find out just how loud is the “clamor” among Mr. Lee’s constituents for inclusion in the Fellow Servant bill. os BEGINNING OF THE STORM. The Ohio political situation is filled with great possibilities. It always is. Mr. Foraker is afraid that with Mc- Kinley in the White House, Sherman in the State Department, and Hanna as his colleague in the Senate, he would better be in the practice of law than a Senator of the United States. He sees clearly that under such cir- cumstances his Senatorial term during the four years of the McKinley regime would be one long humiliation. Foraker’s fight is not offensive. It is, we take it, clearly defensive and clearly justified, And while Foraker is in position to force the Administration to terms, he is in no position to make terms with them. For he cannot fail to realize that the Admin- istration party, from its point of vantage, would break any compact it might make and avail itself of the first opportunity to crush him and his friends. Foraker’s chances of defeating Hanna in the special session are not so bright as they are being pictured. Hanna stil] has a barrel at his command and the barrel is potent in Ohio politics. And McKinley is soon to open the greatest pie counter in the world, to which Sherman will operate a foreign fruit annex. As to the Foraker patronage of Gov. Bush- nell, it is already dispensed. It has lost that savor of gratitude, which is a lively sense of favors to come. But, win or lose, Foraker must fight. It is his only salvation. Quiet accept- ance by him of the humiliation pre- pared for him in advance would be his political ruin. In fighting he will not lead a forlorn hope. There are others. For the McKinley Administration is des- tined to be one of the stormiest in our history. -_ a. — —— In advocating postal savings banks, Postmaster Hesing of Chicago says: “I believe that within a few years the whole national debt might be bonded and the interest remain in the United States in- stead of being sent abroad. And there would not be any great additional ex- pense accruing to the Government. I would undertake to conduct such an es- tablishment in the local office without any more money being needed for clerical hire. I believe that it could be done all over the country. The participation by the people in the affairs of the Govern- ment would instill a greater interest, a more enduring patriotism. The man who had $5 invested in the Government would fight a great deal quicker for the Govern- ment than would the man who had noth- ing.’ Will not Mr. Cleveland, who is described as “suspicious and grudging,”’ see in this utterance of his friend Hesing a reflection upon the Rothschild-Morgan negotiation which is costing the country so much? Banker Parsons would make a mistake to leave his business in solid St. Louis to go to the Federal Treasury. The Secre- tary of the Treasury for the ensuing four years will have to bear a strain that the strongest intellect and the best physique might well shrink from, and at the close of his term, though he may have worked honestly and faithfully, is likely to hear more execrations than praises, A Post-Dispatch special of yesterday shows very clearly how hopeless is the outlook for Mr. Olney'’s treaty in the Senate, A more competent statesman would have foreseen that any entangling alliance would not be acceptable to the American people, even if he had forgotten that such a policy was condemned by Washington. We want arbitration, but no ally. — There are some very pretty designs in theater hats, But there should be no theater hats.

Paul Franklin, a negro, fired four shots into a crowd of five white men at the cor- ner of Fourteenth and Howard streets Mon- day morning at 3 o'clock. William Sullivan of 1526 North Seventeenth street was the only person injured. One of the bullets struck him fm the right hand, inflicting a painful though not dangerous wound. The negro was arrested. A warrant, charging assault to kill was issued against Franklin. William Sullivan, FE. E. Everest of 702 North Fourteenth street, Fred Priesmeyer of 406 North Second street and William Drif- kamper had stopped at the corner on their way home from a dance. While chatting two negro men came upon them. “There they are now,”’ said one of the ne- groes and immediately he opened fire with a revolver. It seems that a negro woman had had trouble with some white boys at ‘the corner earlier in the morning. Paul Franklin and his companion returned to avenge the wo- man and fired into the crowd which he sup- posed had offended her. It was the wrong crowd however. ST. LOUIS AND SAN ANTONIO,TEX.

Delegate Watson Says the Public Must Be Given Their Money’s Worth in the Play-Houses. The proposed legislation against the high hat nuisance, announced exclusively in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, has aroused general interest. Comment is almost without ex- ception favorable. It now looks as though two bills will be introduced Tuesday evening. Delegate Jim Cronin is moving heaven and earth to get his bill launched ahead of Delegate C. W. Watson's. As soon as he heard of the passage of the bill in Chicago he wrote to three of his friends to send him copies of it. They have not done so, He got reckless Sunday when he read of Delegate Watson's intentions and telegraphed to the Clerk of the Board of Aldermen. If he gets a copy before Tues- day night he will get the start of Mr. Wat- son, as his ward, the First, will be called before Mr. Watson's, the Twenty-Fifth. Mr. Watson is not depending on Chicago information. His bill will be introduced without fall, whether Mr. Cronin introduces hig or not. Their geen ny will be substantially the same. he only important difference will probably be that Watson’s will make the managers accessory, and subject to the same penalties as the wearers. Cronin does not think the managers should be included. His bill will provide penalties only for the wear- ers.

Iam not going to introduce the bill for the benefit of the managers. It is the play-going public that needs protection. The question is whether ople who pay their money to see the play shall see it.

They cheerfully take your money, but they don't always deliver the goods. “When you go to the theater you pay for the privilege of ‘seeing what goes on on the stage.

Some- body else buys the seat in front of you, ac- quiring not only the right to see the play but to cut off your view.

Davis of the Century. Before the curtain went up the men began crying hats off. Most of the women complied, but some held out and nearly the whole first act of ‘El Capitan’’ was spoiled. Finally every woman in the house complied with one exception. The stubborn female wore a Paris confection so large that it could be seen all over the houss. COLORADO STRIKERS. Mine Owners Have Been Summoned to Camp by Gov. Adams. DENVER, Colo., Jan. 18.—D. H. Moffat, the heaviest mine owner of the Leadville district, has gone to the camp, in response to a telegram from Gov. Alva Adams, who has established headquarters until he can reach a conclusion as to the continuance or early termination of the strike. Mr. Moffat was accompanied by several leading mine owners of Leadville. Gov. Adams has desired that the miners’ union make some definite proposal for set- tlement and this he intends to submit to the mine owners. It has been suggested, it is un- derstood, that such a proposal should have in it certain concessions and that the origi- nal demand shouki be modified. The miners’ union has appointed a committee of three, with large powers, for the settlement of the trouble. The water in the Maid of Erin mine, where the great pumps were stopped Saturday, hae risen over sixty feet, and the working drifts of the Wolf Tone are flooded, causing a stop e of work. The lessees of the Wolf Tone had just broken into a body of rich ore, from which they would thhave been able to hoist fully $1,000 worth per day, but they had refused to pay $1,500 per month for pumping, and are now drowned out. Tne Mahala and several others, now producing heavily, will soon be flooded. In Olden Times People overlooked the importance of per- manently beneficial effects and were satis- fled with transient action; but now that it is generally known that Syrup of Figs will permanently overcome habitual constipa- tion, well-informed people will not buy oth- er laxatives, which act for a time, but fin- ally injure the system. IN LEFFERT KNOX’S FAVOR. Gov Stephens Withdraws the Requisi- tion Papers. Gov. Stephens has withdrawn the requisi- tion papers which had been granted for Lef- fert Knox, arrested Friday on the charge of grand larceny. Knox was agent for the New York Life Insurance Co. at Chicago, and it was al- leged that he had collected $91 in premiums which he failed to account for. He was wanted in Chicago and would have been taken there but for the habeas corpus pro- ceedings instftuted in Judge Zachritz’ court. The habeas corpus case will not be heard un- less the Governor grants another requisition. The facts will be laid before Gov.

Tho Camp Raided at Belleville and East St. Louis Police Will Prosecute the Romanys for Abduction. When Mrs. Minnie Orrick told her story to the East St. Lovis police Saturday night, charging her husband, Marion Orrick, with bartering away Mabel Stacking, this 12-year- old stepdaughter, to a band of roving Gyp- sies for $25, she was acting in good faith. It has developed that Mrs. Orrick was de- ceived into making statement, but Chief Ganey thinks that he will make a case of abduction out against the Gypsies. The Bélleville police raided a gypsy camp in the suburbs of that city Monday morning and found Mabel Stacking. Chief Obst and Detective Wasem arrested John Mitchell, John and George Barnowitch, leaders of the band, locked them up and notified the Kast St. Louis department of the arrest. Mabel Stacking was held in the Chief’s office and closely rear The girl acknowledged that she Joined the band in East St. Louis, but claimed that she left her parents of her own volition and was glad of the change. She told the Belleville police that she was married in St. Louis last Saturday to George Barnowitch. The girl’s statement in this regard is disproved by the fact that no marriage license to such parties was ever issued. Detective Hickey of East St. Louis went to Belleville and will take charge of Mabel and her alleged abductors. Ohief Ganey was notified by the Coul*er- ville authorities Sunday evening that they had intercepted a gang of Gypsies answer- ing the description of the set wanted in East St. Louis and She Chief left this morn- ing to assume charge of the Coulterville prisoners. It looks now as if every roving band of Romazsiys in the country will be sent to East St. Louis as principals in the Mabel Stacking case. Mrs. Orrick and her three little helpless children are still wards of the East St. Louis Police Department. She took her children to the miserable camp in Winstanley Park Sunday, saying that she wanted * see Shat her husband’s horses were cared for. On the way to the camp she met her husband, Marion Orrick, and he assisted her in carrying the children to. camp. She told him what she had told the po- lice about him selling Mabel for $25 and he denied the charge, saying that all the money he ever received from the Gypsy gang was $3, which he earned by repairing a wagon for them..Orrick asked his wife where she got her information charging him with selling Mabel for a money consid- eration, She told him that George Pfeiffer was her informant. During the day Pfeiff- er strolled into the Orrick camp and Mrs. Orrick asked him why he had deceived her by telling her that Marion sold Mabel to the “Turks” for $25. Pfeiffer replied that he did it just to raise trouble with the Gypsies. RULER GAVE UP HIS CHILD. The Circuit Court Transferred It to His Ex-Wife. Max F. Ruler, a deputy sheriff stationed at the Four Courts, has renounced his claims upon his 4-year-old child, Truman. At the father’s request the youngster has been given into the custody of his mother, now the wife of Walter P. Grath, president of the American Hydraulic Press Brick Co., whose residence is 3325 Caroline street. Over a year ago Ruler brought suit for divorce against his wife, Bessie M., charg- ing her with cruelty and with threatening to kill him. Ruler was granted the di- vorce last March and was given the custody of his child, Truman. Since then Mrs. Ruler has married Mr. Grath, and for sev- eral months has been caring for the child. Ruler filed a petition asking that the court’s decree be amended, and the child be given to his mother. He stated that the mother had since married Grath and that the Graths were proper persons to care for the child, while he had no fixed place of abode and was not able to give the little one the attention its tender years deserved. The Geaths were as anxious to get the child as Ruler was to be rid of it, and Judge Flitcraft amended the decree of di- vorce as requested. A MERCIFUL JUDGE. Peabody Will Have Harry Nelson Par- doned. Harry Nelson, the white man who was in the “Black Maria’ at ‘the time of the as- Sault on the girls Daisy Daly and Blanche Reaves, is serving out a $100 fine at the Work-house on a charge of idling. Judge Peabody heard Monday that Nel- son was locked up, and will take immediate steps to secure his release. a “That man tried to protect those girls, said the Judge, ‘‘and he should not be locked up. If 1 fined him it was because I did not know it was the same man. I will see the ‘Mayor and have him par- doned.”’ MADISON CAR CO.’S DEBT. Foreclosure Proceedings Instituted Un- der a $500,000 Mortgage. The St. Louis Trust Co., representing bondholders of the Madison Car Co., insti- tuted foreclosure proceedings against the company in the Madison County Court Mon- day under a $500,000 first mortgage. Most of the bondholders are St. Louis capitalists. After the proceedings the company will be reorganized and will continue its business, No loss is expected to result to the bond- holders. The issue of bonds was authorized in 1891, and the plant which they cover cost over $1,000,000. IT IS STILL A NUISANCE. Mr. Hardcastle Threatens Trouble for Ed Butler. Attorney Hardcastle states that within a More stink factory, alias the St. Louis Sanitary Co.'s plant, wit castle says that fhe reduction works are just sance and ordered the odor bottled. No improvement has been made, the at- torney claims, and the smell ascends to heaven in large, foggy chunks. A large number o ersons living in the vicinity of the works have contracted vari- ous diseases on account of the impurities which emanate from the place, according to the vicinity of the works are contemplating action for damage on account of the re- duced property values. St. Louis Merchants Interested. The decision in the case of Thomas J. Darragh against the H. Wetter Manufac- turine Co., the Dickinson Hardware Co. and the , W. Dickinson Hardware Co. was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals. Sr. Louis merchants are said to be interested in the case as creditors of the Dickinson company, It is an appeal from Arkansas.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., Jan. 18.—There is trouble in University circles here. On the departure yesterday of Tom Shawhan, the captain of the University Foot Ball team, who was suspended Saturday, there was a big demon- stration of students at the railroad station. Inflammatory speeches extolling the virtues of the doughty little captain were made. The names of several members of the Uni- versity faculty were hissed and jeered at. After the train left a line of some 200 students proceeded up town, yelling for the favorites and hissing at the names of the members of the faculty who were instru- mental in having the foot ball team man- ager, coach and captain punished for their recent Mexico trip. “What's the matter with Brown?’ a leather-lunged student would yell. A volume of hisses would come back. Brown is one of the professors of chemistry and was one of the leaders in the faculty against the foot ball team. “Three cheers for Capt. Shawhan and the Tigers,”’ the leader would yell, and then would come back from the crowd three hearty cheers, which more than broke the Sunday quietude of this old college town. Cheers were given for Judge Alexander Martin and the other members of the law faculty who were against any action of the faculty in regard to the foot ball team. Beside Brown there were Profs. Loeb and Hammond of the political science depart- ment. Loeb is only temporarily in charge of the department in the absence of Dr. Hicks. Hammond is also a tutor. Both took radical grounds against the foot ball team. Another feature 6f the trouble was a personal insult by Frank M. Patterson the coach of the team, to Prof. Brown an the failure of the latter to resent the same. Ic reached Patterson’s ears that Brown had said in the faculty meeting that Patterson had made some very disrespectful remarks about Dr. Jesse. On hearing this Pat- terson hunted up Brown. He found him i the corridor of the Powers House, one the leading hotels of the town. and in the presence of a number of people Patterson told Brown he was a liar, a scoundrel and cur, shook his fist in the face of the pro- fessor and asked him to resent the insult. aoe replied that he did not know what to do. “You know what an American would do,” said Patterson. Brown was seen this morn- ing and said the above version of the affair was correct, He ‘s an Englishman and it 18 said has not taken out his naturalization papers. Patterson is a Yale man and coached the team last year and would have coached it next year but for the action of the faculty barring him from participat- ing in university affairs. He is immensely popular among the students, who propose to hire him regardless of the action of the faculty. An effort was made to prohibit Patterson from entering the law department, but it is said Judge Martin bluntly informed the fac- ulty that he was running that end of the institution. All the trouble is over the action of the faculty in regard to the recent tour to Mex- ico of the foot ballteam. The team was ex- cused from university duties to make a Texas tour. After making the Texas tour a Texas railroad man offered to take the team to the city of Old Mexico to play be- fore President Diaz. The team jumped at the oportunity and stayed out of college longer than their excitse called for. At a meeting of the faculty, in the absence of seve.al of the influential members, a few c® the lesser lights succeeded in getting Shawhan, captain, and English, manager, indefinitely suspended, and the team rep- rimanded. The decision was exceedingly un- popular with the students. rday afternoon, and has in Gatton: Sally yithdrawn from the asso- ciation, There is much gossip over w Mt is to be done.

The jockeys riding on the metropolitan | tracks have reason to be overjoyed at an. amendment proposed by the Jockey Club at | the annual meeting held yesterday. This amendment pre that all jockeys’ fees must be paid before an owner can start his horses. © jockey will be allowed to pare the scales to ride for an owner who is in arrears for “subscriptions, stakes, forfeits, fines, fees, purchase money in races with selling conditions, etc.”’ This protection of the jockey has long been needed. As mat- ters now stand, an owner can pay his jockey or not. If the boy does not get his money, he has no redress whatever. Another amend- ment proposed will allow apprentice allow- ances for one year after the boy has his first mount. These amendments will be acted upon at the monthly meeting, held in Feb- ruary. Creedon and Strong are liable to meet in the Broadway Athletic Club’s arena in the near future. Creedon should box Strong be- fore he leaves for South Africa. A novel feature has been announced for Jan. 19 by the management of the Ice Pal- ace in New York. It is a race between Con- over, a well known Jersey sprinter, and Nillson, the phenomenal professional skater. The distance is seventy-five yards and the runner will wear ordinary running shoes with rather short spikes. The outcome of = ” is awaited with considerable in- erest. The rich stake events of this country sink into insignificance when compared with the | English events. To one American even?’ worth $10,000 or $15,000 there are a dozen in England. The Cluster Cup will be one of the richest this year. The added money | amounts to $12,750, and in addition the sweep- stakes go to the winner. At the Au‘euil meeting in June the $15,000 hurdle race will be the principal feature. Among other rich events are the City Suburban of $10,000, the Lincolnshire handicap of $10,000 and the | Kempton Park Jubilee of $15,000. Washington, D. C., is just going through | with a severe attack of poultry show. All the foreign diplomats and all the American |! representatives meet before the cages and. indulge in learned aguments over the sub- ject of breed and bone in birds. Joe Donohue, the champion skater, Is g0-' ing to leave New York and go to Montreal | to prepare for tournaments to be exated | there. He has had a quarrel with the Ice Palace people in New York. A match will probably be arranged in a’ few days between Dan Creedon of Australia and Tommy Ryan of Syracuse. After the Creedon-Williams contest, in Albany last Tuseday night, Lem Wager of the Manhat- tan Athletic Club of Troy, offered Creedon a good-sized purse to meet Ryan at one of his monthly boxing shows. Ryan has already he offer and it is expected that Creedon will do likewise, as he promised Wager that he would give him a decided an- swer in a few days. The match, if arranged, will be for twenty rounds. Byron McClelland, in an interview, says he will not take Prince Lief up until Jate in the season. The colt will serve half a dozen mares during the spring and wilh be put in trairing in time to go to Saratoga with the remainder of the string. McClelland son in the Bast. guarantee h{s appearance in the ring. He will leave here on the 18th, accompanied by sev- eral admirers. He fought Cain several months ago, breaking his hand in the sec- ond round, but fighting to a draw. WITH MORE COMING. The Queen City Jockey Club Stakes Well Filled Up. NEWPORT, Ky., Jan. 18.—The Queen City Jockey Club will not receive a full report of heir entries for the spring meeting till mails from New Orleans, San Francisco and other distant points are received, which may not be till Tuesday. apenagees of the club are elated over entries already received, which, for number and quality, insure the great meeting.

Leola Marsh, authoress and boek agent, ia locked up in the Four Courts holdover. Monday morning she was fined $20 for dis- turbing “he peace of John McNevins, a pro- fessional strong man, who also claims the title of “Champion Paper Tearer of the World.”’ The “Champion” was : he took in the trouble. The two fought Sunday night in a Clark avenue resort, where McNevins had taken the girl four days before to lead a life of shame. Leola Marsh is 19 years old and pretty. Her father, Wm. Stephens, and her moth- er live on a farm near Alden, Minn. Two years ago Leola graduated from a mee: oe gp | gt Alden. She was the prize es- sayist of her class, and so, instead of go- ing to live quietly on the farm, she wrote a@ book. The title was “Harry Baldwin’s Chance,” and it was a pretty little love story. Several other of her stories were accepted by an Eastern publication and the young country girl seemed well on the road to me. Her book went well, and laying in a large eupply, she canvassed the towns in Min- nesota and Iowa. While on this tour she fell in with a man named Marsh. She married him within a few weeks. In a short time he deserted her, She has never seen him since. Soon after that she met McNevins. He was good looking and an athlete and the girl fell in love with him, He persuaded her to dispense with. the marriage ceremony and together they trav- eled around the country towns, he giving exhibitions and she selling her book. A month ago they camé@ to St. Louis, the first city the girl had ever been in. Four gays ago he induced her to enter a resort on Clark avenue, kept by a woman named Davis. The gir] did not Know ‘the character of the house. She found out soon enough. Sunday night McNevins returned to the fined $30 for the part house. The girl demanded that he take her away ¢rom the place. MeNevins was drunk and struck her. They dought, and both were arrested. Monday morning the Judge fined the girl, but ordered her held until he could com- railroad pass to her home. ‘This is the first time I was ever locked up,”’ she cried. “If I can get out of this I will go back to the farmeand never leave it again.”’ ' DEAF COPPERS.

Patrolmen Tim O'Leary and Mike Burke, who failed to answer to their names when the case of Lucy Clay against George Ang@er- son came up for trial in the Court of'Crim- ina] Correction last Friday, were fined $7.20 for contempt by Judge Murphy Monday. The two officers with the prosecuting wit- mess were in an ante-room at the time, but did not hear their names called. Attachments were issued against the po- licemen and a Deputy Sheriff was ordered to bring them into court. The case was then continued. All parties were on hand and in their proper places Monday morning when the case came up. The ante-room had no power to allure them from the court-room. An.- derson was held for the Grand-Jury. After the trial] Judge Murphy called Pa- trolmen O’Leary and Burke to the bar. He showed them the attachment papers which had been issued against them, and then entered into an animated discourse with the patrolmen. What passed between them is not known. The result of the conference was a fine of $5 and costs imposed on each of the Officials for failing to answer to their names when the case was first called.

Mrs. Ann Kitby, 74 years of age, was be- fore Judge Rassieur of the Probate Court Monday to show cause why she should not be punished for contempt.

WORKING FOR HIM. The National Bankers’ Association Cannot Indorse Him, but Individual Members Are Supporting Him. Whether or not Mr. Charles Parsons re- ceives the appointment as Secretary of the Treasury, he is not a “prophet without honor,” etc. Leading bankers seen by a Post-Dispatch reporter Monday expressed sincere gratification at the news that comes from Washington. The President of the State Bank himself declines to discuss the matter. The dis- patches from Washington state that Mr. Parsons’ name is to be presented for the reporter Mr. Parsons stated he had received no inkling of such a thing, and accordingly accept, if tendered the appointment, he said any statement at the present time would be supererogation, That any formal action has been taken by the National Association is doubted by the St. Louis bankers.

Louisan I would like to have him represent Missouri! in the President’s household.’’ “Personally I think that the selection of Mr. Parsons would be a grand appoint- ment,”’ said President Geo. A. Baker of the Continental Bank. President W. H. Thompson of the National Bank of Commerce said: “Of course Mr. Parsons would make an excellent Secretary of the Treasury. He is a good man anyway. I should be glad to see him get the appointment.”’ “Tl admire Mr. Parsons very much,” said President C. W. Bullen of the National Bank of the Republic. ‘I would like to see him receive a Cabinet appointment.” ; “IT hardly know how to express my sat- isfaction at the possibility of Mr. Parsons receiving the appointment,”’ said Mr. Thom- as H. Stoddart. “The selection would be an excellent one.”’ “T have no doubt of Mr. Parsons making an excellent Secretary of the Treasury,” oe J. E. Thomson of the Citizen’ ank. President William Nichols of the Commer- cial Bank said: “IT think Mr. Parsons would make a splen- did Secretary of the Treasury. I would like to see him get it.’’ “I think Mr. Parsons would be a most ex- cellent selection,’’ said President John Nich- olson of the St. Louis National Bank. “I have known him a great many years and be- lieva him one of the most conservative and best bankers in the country.” WOMAN’S STOCK EXCHANGE. Mrs. C. I. Handy Will Afford Women an Opportunity to Plunge. The new woman has broken out in the brokerage business.

READY 10. MOE — BIARKLOFF’S UNION LEAGUE CLUB REGULARLY ORGANIZED. WILL MEET ON WEDNESDAY. ‘Defeated Candidates at the Merchants’ League Election Get the Offices They Were Looking For. — Dr. Max C. Starkloff’s band wagon has now been completed, and the grease has been applied to the axles and running gear. This piece of political constraction was put together yesterday when the Union Leagu: Ciub took definite form by electing perman- ent officers and adopting a consti(ution and by-laws. This new club, it will be remembered, is composed largely @f revolters who left the Merchants’ League Club because Boss Filley insisted on controlling the election of club officers. Ostensibly, the Tnion League Club is simply a new Republicar organization, hay- ing no axes ‘to grind and not favoring any one mam for Mayor, but is constructed on the liberal basis of taking in Republicans of al) factions and moving along in harmony. Such honeyed declarations have been made by the organizers of the Union League Club, but the politicians laugh in their sleeves when they hearthem. In fact, the election of permanent officers Sunday afternoon re- tes the assertion that the club is rot sim- ply an anti-Filley organization. he eupreme qualification for membership in the new club fs to swear unceasing hatred for hossism, and, of course, that means to -draw a machete against Old Man Filley. The tacit understanding among the mem- bers is that Dr. Starkloff is the candidate to be supported for Mayor. John A. Gernez, at one time a loud and loquacious Hoodlum candidate for Prosecut- ing Attorney, who was defeated on account of the Globe-Democrat’s angelic opnosition, is now the chief cook and bottle holder for the alleged purists of the Kerens-Walbridge- Starkloff combine. He once made daily vis- its to the Mosque, and wore holes in the knees of his trousers by making salaams to “De Ole Man.”” Through the smooth per- suasion ot ex-Sheriff John Henry Pohlman, the erstwhile chief lieutenant of Boss Filley, he is now head equerry for Dr. Starkloff. Gernez called the Union League of Anti- Filleyites to order yesterday in Havlin’s Hall. He was made temporary chairman Jan. 10. A cut-and-dried programme had been arranged, and it was carried out yes- ferday as smoothly and quickly as a paper wad folng through a pneumatic tube. Rufus J. Delano, Louis Kaltwasser and J. fH. Murrell, composing the Committee on Constitution and By-laws, who were ap- pointed at the first meeting, reported as s00n the gavel fell. The clirb adopted the report in full, with but a single exception. The committee thad inadvertently recommended that the regular meetings of the new club be held on Tuesday nights. John Henry Pohlman, who is as shrewd as a fox, made objections. Then the aneeting night was changed to Wednes- day. On the surface this change in the time of meeting appears to be quite insignificant, but, in reality, it was quite important. The ‘Merchants’ League Club meets on Wednes- day night, and Mr. Pohlman desired to have the new anti-Filley club meet on the same night to prevent certain members from at- tending both clubs. - The Union League Club is not an anti- Filley club, according to the statement made by its organizers, ut everybody knows that & is founded forthe express purpose of fighting ‘“‘De Ole Man.”’ The change of the meeting night, therefore, was a move to draw the line between the two factions. The constitution adopted yesterday pro- vides ‘thatthe organization shall not favor any candidate more than another, and that itg quarters shall not be used for meetings in the interest of any one candidate. In view of the men and their methods in or- ganizing the new club, this constitution is regarded by the politicians as a piece of fine humor. The object of the club is declared to be the furthering of the interests of the Repub- lican warty. At the same time an ‘“‘examin- ‘ing committee’ of twenty-eight members, one from each ward, will act as an ad- visory board. It is laughingly declared by keen observers that a bold and aggressive Filleyite will never pass muster before this * @xamining committee. According to the cut-and-dried programme ‘the meeting yesterday appointed the follow- recommend perma- George C. R. Wagon- John Henry Pohl- Henry Mundt and Frank Josephs. ing committee. to led downstairs for a few minutes, 4d @with the peeing recommen- : Rufus J. Delano for President; .

Then President Delano took the chair, spoke words of gratitude for “the high honor conferred upon him,"’ and made everybody smile by saying the club was not organized in the interest of any faction. The club will meet next Wednesday night, when the - gg in the Filley camp will make their s ne significant feature of the meeting is that the President, Secretary and Sergeant- at-Arms elected were candidates on the ticket which was defeated recently at the Merchants’ League Club. WALBRIDGE MAY RUN AGAIN. The Silent Man Said to Want Another Term. The word is being passed quietly along the line that Cyrus P. Walbridge is a canai- date for renomination for ‘(Mayor i€ circum- Stances shape themselves in a favorable > It is well known that a lar the membership of the new Club is made up of Walbridge adherents. This club is ewer conceded to be work- ing in the interest of Dr. Starkloff for Mayor, Tt is said that Starkloff will hold the men in line of opposition to Ziegenhein, and will throw his strength to Walbridge in the con- vention.

He Neglected a Wounded Leg and May Lose It. Wm, Walmer, after lying for seventeen weeks in St. Mary’s Infirmary, celebrated his discharge Sunday by getting drunk. Now he is in the City Hospital and the length of his stay this time will depend on circumstances, Walmer is a carpenter, 31 years old, mar- ried and lives at 172% South Tenth street, Four months ago, while at work, he acci- dentally dropped a chisel. The sharp edge struck on his knee and made a serious wound. He was laid up at St. Mary’s In- firmary unt!l Jast Saturday. Sunday he was able to walk with the aid of a cane. He fell in with some companions and took several drinks. He forgot all about his wounded knee and started home, glori- ously drunk. On the way he fell. He was unable to risé. When a policeman came along he managed to give his name and address and was taken home. The leg began to swell so rapidly that. his wife became alarmed. She called an ambu- lance and had him removed to the City Hvoespital. The injury is serious and Walmer may lose his leg. WAS THE STAR BOARDER. But He Bossed the Servants and Found Out His Mistake. John .. Sullivan had boarded with Mrs. long that he thought he had a proprietary interest in the place., “The $50 fine that Judge Peabody assessed Monday has con- vinced him of his error. Sullivan of late has ordered the servants around as he saw fit. Saturday afternoon he told Mrs. Jenkins what she should do. She resented his assumption of authority, and ordered him from ‘the place. He sought solace in a neighboring saloon, and at 3 o'clock Sunday morning he returned. He aroused Mrs. Jenkins and chased her and one of the servants to the attic. When he could not get at them he vented his spleen on the furniture. Patrolman Schmolinski arrested him. In the Police Court Monday Sullivan said the charges against him were true. He was drunk and did not mean any harm. WRECKED CHURCH REOPENED. Lafayette Park Methodists Have Spe- cial Services. The Lafayet*’e Park Southern Methodist Church, Lafayette and Missouri. avenues, which was wrecked by the tornado, was re- opened for service Sunday afternoon. All the local ministers of the denomination and prominent laymen were present. Rev. 5S. H. Werlein, pastor of the church, pronounced the invocation. Revs. John Mavhews, T. M. Finney, B. M. Messick, J. W. Lee and E. B. Chappell took part in the devotional exercises. ) Bishop E. R. Hendrix of Kansas City was the preacher of the occasion, He developed the idea of God as a worker. Dr. Werlein announced that the recon- struction of the building had cost $9,000 and tha’ of this amount $1,820 was still due. A collection was then taken $900 was raised. THOUGHT IT THE PLANTERS. Whisky and Cocaine Transformed the Four Courts for Lena Lusk. When Lene Lusk flew into the Central Dis- trict Police Station Friday night she thought she was going into the Planters’ Hotel. At least that is what she told Judge Peabody Monday morning when she was arraigned on the change of being drunk on*the street. Friday night Lena filled up on bad whisky and took three packages of cocaine on the side. Then she rushed into the police station and fought. the sergeant and police- men who tried to lock herup. She was sent to the City Hospital. ; ~ Judge Peabody did not see how any one could be so drunk as to think the Four Courts was the Planters’. Lena’s mistake cost her $20. She was formerly employed at Nugent’s. DELEGATES IN ARREARS. The Trades and Labor Union Sus- pended Thirty-Five. .

The fin de siecle maid has long since in- vaded almost every field formerly held to be exclusively man’s. In many she has proved eminently successful. Is she as well fitted for the pulpit as for the other pursuits she has undertaken? Many members of the Universalist Mis- sion have decided the question against the new woman in the person of Rev.

ELLA M. BARTLETT. ago, a request to Miss Bartlett to resign. It was not prompted: by dissatisfaction with the new woman as a preacher, but as 4 pastor. Many dissented, and although Miss Bart- lett was presented with $50 to pay. her ex- penses in finding a pastorate that would prove more lucrative than the one she oc- cupied, she refused to resign. She remained in her rooms in the mission hall and con- tinued to preach every Sunday, as she has the last two years. Then the members who thought with St. Paul withdrew from the mission. They de- sired that Miss Bartlett’s position should be taken by a man. Failure to carry their point, they say, does not decide the prob- lem of the new woman. Although refusing to attend the mission meetings, they main- tain that they are in the majority and merely waiting for developments. Meanwhile Miss Bartlett continues to preach ‘to those who have espoused the new woman side of the controversy and who also claim to be in the majority. She preached Sunday. The movement to replace ‘Miss Bartlett by a preacher of the sterner sex is led by Mr. and Mrs. H. B. White of 3960 Finney avenue, Coroner and Mrs. Walter J. Wait of 241 South Jefferson avenue, and Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Bernard of 1320 Euclid avenue. Mrs. White’s opinion of the new woman as a pastor is that she isa failure. She is a motherly woman, not at all suggestive of latter day femininity. Speaking for the op- position, Mrs. White furnished a Post-Dis- patch reporter Monday the following state- ments ‘‘We have found Miss Bartlett a very able woman. She is an excellent talker, and preaches good sermons. When she came we expected her to build up the congrega- tion. She failed, and we believe that a man could have done better. ‘‘Miss Bartlett was not called by the mis- sion. She chanced to be in St. Louis, and an offer was made to pay her $5 a week. She accepted the offer without stopping very long to consider it. She has been with us ever’ since, alfhough she was not employed for any definite period. “Some of the members are saying that Rev. G. H. Shinn, the State organizer, de- sires to get Miss Bartlett’s place. That is a mistake. He would not come to St. Louis, but he thinks, with us, that a man is better than a woman in the pulpit... When my husband and myeelf came to St. Louis we thought it would be nice to have a Uni- versalist church, there being none in St. Louis. A number of us founded the mis- sion. Then Miss Bartlett was secured as pastor. That was about two years ago. “The Ladie* Aid Society has been furn- ishing ‘the money to pay the salary, but on account of the dissatisfaction the funds ran low, and we had to go into the building fund to get money for current experises. There was about in the fund, and.more than hal’ was spent last November for current expenses, including ‘Miss Bartlett's salary. : er hen we a*ked her to resign, and gave her $50 out of the building fund so she could look for a new charge, where she would be supported in a more proper manner. She refused to “gee a and did not look for an- other place. presume she will remain until the $0 runs out. If she leaves I sup- e that on account of the way things ave been running and the consequent lack of money we shall have to do without a pastor.” Those who believe that the new woman is fitted for every field say that the trouble in the mission was brewing before Miss Bartlett became its pastor, although she was not aware of it. It grew out of the ques- tion of esiablishing a building fund, it is stated. Some members desired to build a church and others didn't. Matters continued thus until it became necessary last November to use the building fund for other purposes. Then those who had set ‘their hearts on a church bufiding, withdrew. It is also stated Rev. Shinn was not con- sulted when M'ss Bartlett was given the pastorate and in consequence has steadily argued that in Miss has not given a fair opportuni! ; thet : 7 ound the i the matter, ! live Mrs. Woodlock was Judge Morris. Mrs. Woodlock herself opened the door. ‘‘Why, I came to see you.dead!’’ exclaimed the astonished ex-Judge. ‘Yas, you’li come around to see me in my coffin, but you and your wife won't come near the place when I’m alive,’’ was the Pleased reply of Mrs. Woadlock, who re- joiced that she was not the subject of the death notice. After Judge Morris called others came, and they kept coming, each with the intention of seeing Mrs. John D. Woodlock stretched out in a coffin. Instead, Mrs. John Wood- lock was dead in her home, several dors up the street. . But the friends ef Mrs. John D.

She turned the affair into a sort of informal reception, and after refreshments and her assurance that she was not dead, the unexpected guests departed. HENRY WIND RAISED A STORM. He Throttled His Son, Who Was Con- fined to Bed. Henry Wind, a machinist, caused a storm in his home at 926 Madison street, Monday morning. His son, Henry Wind, Jr., has a badly sprained leg which obliges him to stay in bed. According to the police, the old man thought that Henry would be easy, and as he wanted a few nickels, he started to explore Henry’s pockets for them, As the elder Wind was slightly the worse for liquor and has not worked much of late, the abled bodied members of his family tried to interrupt his search of Henry’s trousers. His.second son, his two daughters and his wife set upon the old man and he in turn seized the bedridden Henry by the throat. The mother, sisters and brother of the helpless man became frightened and called a policeman, When the blue-coat arrived, the father had released his hold on Henry’s throat although ger marks remained. The family declined to prosecute. FOOTPAD CRIED FOR MERCY. Ross Beat Him With an Umbrella and Put Him to Flight. William Ross of 2801 Gamble street is a hero in the eyes of his friends because he made a highwayman cry for mercy. His sister, Miss Mabel Ross, is organist of Central Christian Church. While Mr. Ross was escorting his sister home from church Saturday night a man met them at Garrison avenue and Dickson street and told them to ‘cough up.”’ ‘Miss Ross fled, but Mr. Ross beat the fellow with an umbrella until he begged for quarter and fled. : TURNERS’ ENTERTAINMENT. Music, Gymnastics and Dancirg Were on the Programme. The concert, gymnastic entertainment and ball given by the South St. Louis Turn Veretn at its hall, Tenth and Carroll streets, Sunday night, was wéll attended. Many persons had to stand in the aisles and lobby. After several vocal numbers had been rendered and a gymnastic exhibition given the operetta “Ein Flotter Bursche von der Flotte’” was presented by members of the Turn Verein, At the close of the operetta the hall was cleared and dancing began. Popular Sunday Concerts. Greig’s two melodies for string orchestra were the strikingly beautiful numbers at Sunday afternoon’s concert @t Music Hall. They were played for the first time.

Now that the St. Louis Club has definitely decided to move from its present: quarters on Ewing avenue, the members are in the midst of a warm discussion as to the most available location for the new site, Opinions differ widely as to how much further west the club should go, varying all the way from seven to twenty-seven blocks. In making this move the members feel that they should settle satisfactorily the club’s location for many years to come and for this reason they are pri hago Beng ae | At one time it looked as though the Buck property on the northeast corner of Grand avenue and Morgan street would surely be chosen, A large number of the members looked favorably upon this site, arguing that its propinquity to so many car jines running both north and south and east and west rendered it especially desirable from a geographical point of view. This property can be purchased for $85,- 000, or at the\rate of $500 a foot. It was planned that the ego ob be raised for this purpose by means second mo bonds. The property having been paid for in this wary, it was planned to raise $100,- 000 for the building by means of first mort- gage bonds An assessmen't of $100 a mem- ber would have raised $30,000 with which to furnish the club-house when finished. So strong was the belief with certain mem- bers that mo better place could be secured that an option on this property was pur- chased. But opposition developed and the option was «allowed to expire Friday. This does not mean, however, that this plan has been abandoned—merely that more time is being taken for consideration. It is under- stood that the property can purchased at any time at the old figure. The opposition to this site developed from two sources. It is the intention in con- structing ‘the new club-house to include in it quite a number of apartments for bachelor members, and it is thought by many that the continued passing of street cars on Grand avenue would make it undesirable for living purposes. It is also held that it is utter folly to leave “he quarters on Twenty-ninth street, for the reason that they are too far east and spend $200,000 on a club-house removed but seven blocks further west, as would be the case were it located on Grand avenue, St. Louls is pushing west so rapidly that a few years more will find Grand avenue further down town than Twenty- ninth street now is, and the street cars on it will eventually make ite strictly Dusiness street. These objections are forcing themselves upon the members with greater strength as the agitation of the.question continues, and the prospects of locating at Grand avenue and Morgan street are daily lessening. The same objection is urged against build- ing at Grand and Lindell avenues—a sug- ges“ion of some strength. Some want to build on that corner and others a little west of it, upon the hill, and still others at Spring avenue; but the same gentlemen who object to Grand avenue and Morgan s‘reets object to all of these sites and for the same reason, The Lindell boulevard thas very strong support as the east and west thoroughfare on which the club should be located, es- pecially among the wives of ‘the members, and for this reason a site at Boyle and Lindell is gaining very rapidly in favor. Four hundred feet of property may. be ob- tained at this point for $125 a foot. Such grounds could be beautifully laid out, and would furnish a sgl worthy of a build- ing; such as the gentlemen connected with the St. Louis Club would desire. There would be room for tennis courts and loung- ing places in the open, greatly to be desired in the summer months. Overlooking as it would the principal driveway of the city, and removed from the rattle of ‘the street cars, the support- ers of this site are obdurate in the be- lief that no better can be obtained. Against the argument that it is too far west, they reply that 90 per cent of the members of the St. Louis Club live west of Vandeventer avenue. Every year they are moving further west. All the fashion- able ‘‘places,’’ with the exception of Vande- venter place, are even further west than Boyle avenue, so that the site would be nearer the common center of the club’s membership than Grand avenue. hile removed from the nuisance of street cars, this site is still easy of access. It is but a block from the Olive street cable line, which turns over Boyle and up Maryland avenue. It is but two blocks from the Webster Groves and Benton di- Vision of the Suburban, which runs over Sarah street. It is but two blocks from the Laclede avenue red line and three blocks from the Euclid avenue division of the Lindell, so that opposition to it from this point could hardly be maintained. But even Boyle avenue is not the west- ern limit of some of the members’ desires. There are those who urge the club’s loca- tion as far out as King’s highway, in close proximity to Forest Park. They point with still increasing force to the steady trend of fashionable St. Louis further and fur- ther west; to Westmoreland place, Port- land place, Richmond place and Forest Park place, the swellest residence sections in the city, all being west of King’s high- way. They dilate on the charms of such a location in the summer time and insist that its selection is the wisest course. Still another plan has been suggested—the purchase of the new Columbian Club Build- ing, on Lirfdell boulevard, just west of Van- deventer avenue. It is understood that in- formal propositions have been made by rep- resentatives of the St. Lovis Club to the Columbian Club, but the project has not taken definite shape. It would take little short of $200,000 to buy the Columbian Club building, as the organization is not particu- larly anxious to sell. All of these plans are now being talked over by the St. Louls Club membership, but sentiment has crystallized about none of them. ng want to be sure and do the right thing, for the next move will be a permanent one for this generation at least and a mis- take in the expenditure of so much money would be a source of deep regret. MADE A WATER HAUL. Three Thieves Steal Three Barrels of Distilled Water. Three barrels of distilled water got three men in% trouble Saturday night. Reipschlaeger & Kamp left the three bar- rels of water in front of their wholesale liquor house, at 518 North Third street. Barly in the evening 4 fireman at No. 7 Engine House saw three men drive up in a one-horse wagon, look around to see if they were observed, and then begin % load the’ barrels into the wagon. The fireman thought the barrels contained whisky and so did the men. The fireman ran toward the men and called for the police. The men jumped into the wagon and hurriedl¥ drove away. The attempted robbery was reported to Capt. O'Malley. He sent two special o cers and Saturday night Theodore Viz- nowski, William Brockhoff and Peter Cra- mer were arrested on suspicion, Tignowski and Brockhoff were identified by the fireman and warrants were issued against them Monday. Cramer was not iden*ified and he was sent to the Police Court on the charge of idling. ; When Viznowski failed to reach home Sat- urday night, his wife reported to Capt. Joyce of the Fourth Police D’strict that her husband was missing and asked that Shey assist in locating him. She was informed that Viznowsk! was safe, but would not be); home for several days. } Died From Natural Causes. Dr. H. L.

Mrs. Penningroth said her husband was worth $50,000, and she asked for alimony. Mr. Penningroth filed a cross bill, in which he accused his wife of extreme parsi- mony. He said that:she did not feed her servants properly, and nearly starved his son from a former marriage.

WILL MEET ON WEDNESDAY. \ Defeated Candidates at the Merchants’ League Election Get the Offices They Were Looking For. ewe Gee Dr. Max C. Starkloff’s band wagon has now heen completed, and the grease has been applied to ‘the axles and running gear This piece of political construction was pu‘ together yesterday when the Union Leagu: Club took definite form by electing perman- ent officers and adopting a constitution and by-laws. This new club, it will be remembered, Is composed largely @f revolters who left the Merchants’ League Club because Boss Filley insisted on controlling the election of club officers. Ostensibly, the Tnion League Club is simply a new Republican organization, hav- ing no axes ‘to grind and not favoring any one mam for Mayor, but is constructed on the liberal basis of taking in Republicans of al] factions and moving along in harmony. Such honeyed declarations have been made by the organizers of the Union League Club, but the politicians laugh in their sleeves when they hear them. In fact, the election of permanent officers Sunday afternoon re- tes the assertion that the club is not sim- ply an anti-Filley organization. The #upreme qualification for membership in the new club is to swear unceasing hatred for bossism, and, o course, that means to draw a machete against Old Man Filley. The tacit understanding among the mem- bers is that Dr. Starkloff is the candidate to. be supported for Mayor. John A. Gernez, at one time a loud and loquacious Hoodlum candidate for Prosecut- ing Attorney, who was defeated on account of the Globe-Democrat’s angelic opposition, is now the chief cook and bottle holder for the alleged purists of the Kerens-Walbridge- Starkloff combine. He once made daily vis- its to the Mosque, and wore holes in the knees of his trousers by making salaams to “De Ole Man.’ Through the smooth per- suasi otAx-Sheriff John Henry Pohlman, the erst While chief lieutenant of Boss Filley, he is now head equerry for Dr. Starkloff. Gernez called the Union League of Anti- Filleyites to order yesterday in Havlin’s diall. He was made temporary chairman Jan. 10. A cut-and-dried programme had been arranged, and it was carried out yes- terday as smoothly and quickly as a paper wad folng through a pneumatic tube. Rufus J. Delano, Louis Kaltwasser and J. fH. Murrell, composing the Committee on Constitution and By-laws, who were ap- pointed at the first meeting, reported as soon as the gavel fell. The club adopted the report in full, with but a single exception. The committee thad inadvertently recommended that the regular meetings of the new club be held on Tuesday nights. John Henry Pohlman, who is as shrewd as a fox, made objections. Then the meeting night was changed to Wednes- day. On the surface this change in the time of meeting appears to be quite insignificant, but, in reality, it was quite important. The ‘Merchants’ League Club meets on Wednes- day night, and Mr. Pohlman destred to have the new anti-Filley club meet on the same might to prevent certain members from at- tending both clubs. The Union League Club is not an anti- Filley club, according to the statement made by its organizers, ut everybody knows that i is founded for the express purpose of fighting “De Ole Man.” The change of the meeting night, therefore, was a move to draw the line between the two factions. The constitution adopted yesterday pro- vides ‘that the organization shall not favor any candidate more than another, and that its quarters shall not be used for meetings in the interest of any one candidate. In view of the men and their methods in or- ‘ganizing the new club, this constitution is regarded by the politicians as a piece of fine humor. The object of the club is declared to be the furthering of the interests of the Repub- lican party. At the same time an ‘‘examin- ‘ing committee’ of twenty-eight members, one from each ward, will act as an ad- visory board. It is laughingly declared by keen observers that a bold and aggressive Filleyite will never pass muster before this examining committee. According to the cut-and-dried programme ‘the meeting yesterday appointed the follow- ing committee to recommend perma- nent officers: George C. R. Wagon- er, David Pareira, John Henry Pohl- enry Mundt and Frank Josephs. led downstairs for a few minutes, dd. the eo meloagy 3 recommen- : Ryfus J. Delano for President; G, Craft, Fi : P. Second V Herkert, ‘Third Vice-President; Bromswick, Secretary; Louis Kaltwasser, rer; Frank, Finacial Secretary; Gottlieb Biermann, Sergeant-at-Arms. The club, of course, accepted the recom- mendations and the officers thus nominated were elected by acclamation, whoops and hurrahs. Then President Delano took the chair, spoke words of gratitude for “the high honor conferred upon him,”’ and made everybody smile by saying the club was not organized in the interest of any faction. The club will meet next Wednesday night, when the spies in the Filley camp will make their reports. ne significant feature of the meeting is that the President, Secretary and Sergeant- at-Arms elected were candidates on the ticket which was defeated recently at the Merchants’ League Club. _ WALBRIDGE MAY RUN AGAIN. The Silent Man Said to Want Another Term. The word is being passed quietly along the line that Cyrus P. Walbridge is a candi- date for renomination for (Mayor i circum- stances shape themselves in a favorable way. It is well known that a lar per cent of ' the membership of the new Union League ‘Club is made up of Walbridge adherents. This club is generally conceded t6 be work. ing in the interest of Dr. Starkloff for Mayor. Tt is said that Starkloff will hold the men in line of opposition to Ziegenhein, and wil! throw his strength to Walbridge in the con- vention. If it appears that Walbridge can- not secure the nomination, then the com- ne opposed to Filley will concentrate its forces on some other man. So runs the @ossip to-day. KERENS’ CUCKOOS SHOUT.

So these hundreds of letters and telegrams run on in the same vein. They indicate that many Republicans who have even given tacit support to Boss Filley'’s despotic rule are glad of an opportunity to announce their allegiance to a new leader. WALMER’S LOVE FOR DRINK. He Neglected a Wounded Leg and May Lose It. Wm. Walmer, after lying for seventeen weeks in St. Mary’s Infirmary, celebrated his discharge Sunday by getting drunk. Now he is in the City Hospital and the length of his stay this time will depend on circumstances, Walmer is a carpenter, 31 years old, mar- ried and lives at 172% South Tenth street. Four months ago, while at work, he acci- dentally dropped a chisel. The sharp edge struck on his knee and made a serious wound. He was laid up at St. Mary’s In- firmary until Jast Saturday. Sunday he was able to walk with the aid of a cane. He fell in with some companions and took several drinks. He forgot ail about his wounded knee and started home, glori- ously drunk. On the way he fell. He was unable to rise. When a policeman came along he managed to give his name and address and was taken home. | The leg began to swell so rapidly that his wife became alarmed, She called an ambu- lance and had him removed to the City Hospital. The injury is serious and Walmer may lose his leg. WAS THE STAR BOARDER. But He Bossed the Servants and Found Out His Mistake. John L. Sullivan had boarded with Mrs. long that he thought he had a proprietary interest in the place., “The $50 fine that Judge Peabody assessed Monday has con- vinced him of his error. Sullivan of late has ordered the servants around as he saw fit. Saturday afternoon he told Mrs. Jenkins what she should do. She resented his assumption of authority, and ordered him from tthe place. He sought solace in a neighboring saloon, and at 3 o’clock Sunday morning he returned. He aroused Mrs. Jenkins and chased her and one of the servants to the attic. When he could not get at them he vented his spleen on the furniture. Patrolman Schmolinski arrested him. In the Police Court Monday Sullivan said the charges against him were true. He was drunk and did not mean any harm. WRECKED CHURCH REOPENED. Lafayette Park Methodists Have Spe- cial Services. The Lafayet* Park Southern Methodist Church, Lafayette and Missouri. avenues, which was wrecked by the tornado, was re- opened for service Sunday afternoon. All the local ministers of the denomination and prominent laymen were present. Rev. S. H. Werlein, pastor of the church, pronounced the invocation. Revs. John Mavhews, T. M. Finney, B. M. Messick, J. W. Lee and E. B. Chappell took part in the devotional exercises. Bishop E. R. Hendrix of Kansas City was the preacher of the occasion. He developed the idea of God as a worker. Dr. Werlein announced that the recon- struction of the building had cost $9,000 and tha’ of this amount $1,820 was still due. A collection and $900 raised. THOUGHT IT THE PLANTERS. Whisky and Cocaine Transformed the Four Courts for Lena Lusk. When Lene Lusk flew into the Centra] Dis- trict Police Station Friday night she thought she was going into the Planters’ Hotel. At least that is what she told Judge Peabody Monday morning when she was arraigned on the chaage of being drunk on‘ the street. Friday night Lena filled up on bad whisky and took three packages of cocaine on the side. Then she rushed into the police station and fought. the sergeant and police- men who tried to lock herup. She was sent to the City Hospital. ’ X Judge Peabody did not see how any one could be so drunk as to think the Four Courts was the Planters’. Lena’s mistake cost her $20. She was formerly employed at Nugent’s. DELEGATES IN ARREARS. The Trades and Labor Union Sus- pended Thirty-Five. The Trades and Labor Union suspended thirty-five representatives of labor unions Sunday for being more than three months in arrears with their per capita tax. The suspended delegates represent the iron mold- ers, press feeders, pressmen, cigarmakers, woodworkers, Typographical Union No. 3, hack and cab drivers and railway employes. The Financial Secretary reported that only sixteen unions were in good standing in the central body. J. J. Isaacs, Philip Hoeffer and Henry Ffsche were chosen delegates to the State Federation Convention, which meets at Jef- ferson City Jan. B. DISPENSARY DEDICATED. It Is for the Poor and Is in the Bap- tist Sanitarium. The free dispensary for the poor estab- lished by the Missouri Baptist Sanitarium was dedicated Sunday afternoon. Services were held in the chapel and were conducted by Rev.

Many dissented, and although Miss Bart- lett was presented with $50 to pay, her ex- penses in finding a pastorate that would prove more lucrative than the one she oc- cupied, she refused to resign. She remained in her rooms in the mission hall and con- tinued to preach every Sunday, as she has the last two years. Then the members who thought with St. Paul withdrew from the mission, They de- sired that Miss Bartlett’s position should be taken by a man. Failure to carry their point, they say, does not decide the prob- lem of the new woman. Although refusing to attend the mission meetings, they main- tain that they are in the majority and merely waiting for developments. Meanwhile Miss Bartlett continues to preach ‘to those who have espoused the new woman side of the controversy and who also claim to be in the majority. She preached Sunday. The movement to replace ‘Miss Bartlett by a preacher of the sterner sex is led by Mr. and Mrs. H. B. White of 3960 Finney avenue, Coroner and Mrs. Walter J. Wait of 241 South Jefferson avenue, and Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Bernard of 1320 Euclid avenue. Mrs. White’s opinion of the new woman as a pastor is that she isa failure. She is a motherly woman, not at all suggestive of latter day femininity. Speaking for the op- position, Mrs. White furnished a Post-Dis- patch reporter Monday the following state- ments ‘“‘We have found Miss Bartlett a very able woman. She is an excellent talker, and preaches good sermons. When she came we expected her to build up the congrega- tion. She failed, and we believe that a man could have done better. ‘Miss Bartlett was not called by the mis- sion. She chanced to be in St. Louis, and an offer was made to pay her $5 a week. She accepted the offer without stopping very long to consider it. She has been with us ever’ since, although ehe was not employed for any definite period. “Some of the members are saying that Rev. G. H. Shinn, the State organizer, de- sires to get Miss Bartlett’s place. That is a mistake. He would not come to St. Louis, but he thinks, with us, that a man is better than a woman in the pulpit.. When my husband and myself came to St. Louis we thought it would be nice to have a Uni- versalist church, there being none in St. Louis. A number of us founded the mis- sion. ‘Then Miss Bartlett was secured as pastor. That was about two years ago. “The Ladie* Aid Society has been furn- ishing ‘the money to pay the salary, but on account of the dissatisfaction the funds ran low, and we had to go into the building fund to get money for current expenses. There was about $350 in the fund, and.more than hak’ was spent last November for current expenses, including Miss Bartlett’s salary. - “Then we acked her to resign, and gave her $50 out of the building fund so she could look for a new charge, where she would be supported in a more proper manner. She refused to resign, and did not look for an- other place. presume she will remain until the $50 runs out. . If she leaves I sup- pose that on account of the way things have been running and the consequent lack of money we shall have to do without a pastor.” Those who believe that the new woman is fitted for every field say that the trouble in the mission was brewing before Miss Bartlett became its pastor, although she was not aware of it. It grew out of the ques. tion of establishing a building fund, it is stated. Some members desired to build a church and others didn’t. Matters continued thus until it became necessary last November to use the building fund for other purposes. Then those who had set their hearts on a church bufiding, withdrew. It is also stated Rev. Shinn was not con- sulted when M'‘ss Bartlett was given the pastorate and in consequence has steadily opposed her. So it is argued that in Miss Bartlett's case the new woman has not bee given a fair opportunity jn. it. Miss Bartlett refuses to Goeesd ee ; matter, , ‘ aE He live Mrs. Woodlock was Jvdge Morris. Mrs. Woodlock herself opened the door. ‘‘Why, I came to see you.dead!”’ exclaimed the astonished ex-Judge. “Yes, you’ll come around to see me in my coffin, but you and your wife won't come near the place when I’m alive,’”’ was the pleased reply of Mrs. Woadlock, who re- joiced that she was not the subject of the death notice. After Judge Morris called others came, and they kept coming, each with the intention of seeing Mrs. John D. Woodlock stretched out in a coffin. Instead, Mrs. John Wood- lock was dead in her home, several dors up the street. But the friends ef Mrs. John D. Wood- lock-continued to call, untilat4p.m. there were probably 50 of her acquaintances in the house. She ‘turned the affair into a sort of informal reception, and after refreshments and her assurance that she was not dead, the unexpected guests departed. HENRY WIND RAISED A STORM. He Throttled His Son, Who Was Con- fined to Bed. Henry Wind, a machinist, caused a storm in his home at 926 Madison street, Monday morning. His son, Henry Wind, Jr., has a badly sprained leg which obliges him to stay in bed. According to the police, the old man thought that Henry would be easy, and as he wanted a few nickels, he started to explore Henry’s pockets for them, As the elder Wind was slightly the worse for liquor and has pot worked much of late, the abled bodied members of his family tried to interrupt his search of Henry’s trousers. His.second son, his two daughters and his wife set upon the old man and he in turn seized the bedridden Henry by the throat. The mother, sisters and brother. of the helpless man became frightened and called a policeman. When the blue-coat arrived, the father had released his hold on Henry's throat although ger marks remained. The family declined to prosecute. FOOTPAD CRIED FOR MERCY. Ross Beat Him With an Umbrella and Put Him to Flight. William Ross of 2801 Gamble street is a hero in the eyes of his friends because he made a highwayman cry for mercy. His sister, Miss Mabel Ross, is organist of Central Christian Church. While Mr. Ross was escorting his sister home from church Saturday night a man met them at Garrison avenue and Dickson street and told them to ‘cough up.” ‘Miss Ross fled, but Mr. Ross beat the fellow with an umbrella until he begged for quarter and fled.

LOUIS CLUB. GOSSIP OF THE MEMBERS. Locations Are Urged All the Way From Grand Avenue as Far West as King’s Highway. Now that the St. Louis Club has definitely decided to move from its present: quarters on Ewing avenue, the members are in the midst of a warm discussion as to the most available location for the new site. Opinions differ widely as to how much further west the club should go, varying all the way from seven to twenty-seven blocks. In making this move the members feel that they should settle satisfactorily the club’s location for many years to come and for this reason they are prt tgae, Roe aie At one time it looked as though the Buck property on the northeast corner of Grand avenue and Morgan street would surely be chosen, A sarge number of the members looked favorably upon this site, arguing that its propinquity to so many car lines running both north and south and east and west rendered it especially desirable from a geographical point of view. This property can be purchased for $85,- 000, or at the rate of afoot. It was planned that the money be raised for this purpose by means of second mortgage bonds. The property having been paid for in this ‘way, it was planned to raise $100,- 000 for the building by means of first mort- gage bonds “as es . = a ees * * « e > * : i ee ~ . * ar « c : a ; . % 2 . : - 4 : - bs a. . » . 7 = ‘i : : - c bs es ,, A . ae oo ad a Kk 3 * -- eA - = aa a th d - - a ‘ - s 3 5 .
