Those of the mem- bers who d'd not go out of the city Friday afternoon tried to hold some committee meetings Saturday, but it was discovered that not enough members were here, and but little was accomplished. “IT am opposed to these Friday adjourn- ments,’ said Representative Ward of Stod- dard County, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, I think it etting down to business. So many ‘for is t'me we were g ) of the menibers go away to spend Sunday that it is almost impossible to hold any committee meetings or to do other work. Of course the present session is far ahead of other sessions in the way of dispatching work, but my wlan is to keep at it just as if we were behind. In my judgment, that is the way to make a good record.”’ SP EL TE oe ae f Mr. Ward is one of the hardest-working : members in the House. He comes from F Southeast Missouri, and everybody knows that when a “Southeaster” starts in to do anything he generally does it. Mr. Ward has two of the most important bills yet in- troduced. One of the Ward bills provides for the assessment and taxation of street railways in cities having 100,000 population or over. The other bill is along the same line and provides for more stringent taxa- tion’on corporations of every kind. These bills will provoke the lobby to do its best work. In fact, the lobby Is going to have plenty of work before it from this time forward. The fellow-servant bill, the Bohart coercion bill, the Wrerd tax bills, the Tubbs bill to compel railroad companies to make an an- nual statemént showing the detasls of traffic, and particularly to set forth the names of ai] State officials holding free , the Avery-Farris bille for the re- duction of freight and passenger rates and several other measures now pending will bills might accidentally become enacted into Jaw, so there is every reason for activity among the lobbyists, That nearly all of the foregoing measures will pass the House, there seems to be no doubt whatever. There will be much diffi- culty, however, in getting them through the Senate, unless there is a decided turn of sentiment. Many people here believe that : the Senate is now more seriously entangied with the lobby than ever before. And when once a legtslator allows himself to et into the clutchem of the lobby, right then is usefulness to his constituents as a law- maker is -bruptly terminated. “The strangest thing about this lobby business,’ said one of the members who has been coming to Jefferson City for a great many years, “is the fact that legis- lation can be controlled so cheaply. Most everybody would suppose that a large sum of money would be required in order to secure made-to-order legislation. But I do not believe that money has much to do with it. A railroad pass will often do more fin the way of shaping legislation than al- most any other agency that can be thought of. There seems to be a sort of fascination @bout the little strip of paper-—some in- visible, yet powerful, magnet. Once a leg- islator accepts a pass, he ig then within the clutches of the lobby and can not afford to not heed its orders. Understand that I am not charging that any member of the present Mouse nor of the senate has ac- cepted any passes—1 am not undertaking to say as to that—but I do know from close observation at previous sessions that the ass evil ig worked for ail it is worth by he lobby.” It is generally believed here that the work of the session will be completed al- PT OG Ae , ‘ fad Mal most within the allotted time—seventy days. There is a marked disposition for work, and a little later on the sessions every day will be lengthened so as to push the passage of bills. It is also probable pret a great many night sessions will be eld. BOHART’S COERCION BILL. Suggestions Made by Gov. Johnson Be- ing Considered. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan, %.—Repre- sentative Bohart of Clinton County is in re- ceipt of some suggestions from ex-Gov. Charles P. Johnson of St. Louis concerning his anti-coercion bill. As outlined in the Post-Dispatch yesterday, Gov. Johnson in- dorses the bill in the main and wants it : gtrengthened by the addition of a few @mendments. Mr. Bohart has the matter under consideration and will probably make use of the suggest/ons. ‘‘l thought I had drawn the bill very cafefully,”’ said Mr. hart, “but I am always giad to hear a Bug@estion from such a man as ex-Gov. Johnson.”’ ee i. LEGAL EXAMINATIONS. Bill Intended to Raise the Standard of Education. Bpecia) to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 3.—Repre- sentative Martin of Barton County intro- duced a bili in the House to-day providing for a more rigid examination of attorneys before they can be admitted to practice law. The bill proposes to change the rule whereby applicants for admission to the bar are ex- amined by a committee of lawyers appointed by the Circuit courts, and instead make it the duty of the Supreme Judges to conduct the examination. he idea of the bill is to raise the standard of legal education. a - — Epidemic of Colds.

HEROD OF HAVANA tion of Gen. Weyler as a Di- minutive Reptile. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—In the course of a speech on Cuba to-day Senator Turpie denounced Gen.

Howry and Amidon Will Now Get Their Jobs, WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—The Senate Com- mittee on Judiciary to-day agreed to report favorably the nomination of Judge Charles B. Howry of Mississippi to be Judge of the Court of Claims, and Charies F. Amudon to nominations should not be acted upon for a week. It is the wish of the members of the committee to consult Senator George if possible regarding the Howry nomina- tion and Sena@'or Hansbrough on the nom:na- tion of Amidon.

C., Jan. 23.—Herr Doktor Bartholdt, Chairman of the House Immigration Bureau, will fight the pending immigration bi, basing his specific objec- tions on two grounds, first, that it will sepa- rate families, because if a man and his wife reach New York, only one being able to speak English, the other must go back; sec- ond, that the clause requiring all immigrants to read and write either the English lan- guage or the language of the country from which they come, will shut out a very desir- able class. A German, for instance, says the Herr Doktor, may come from France, and not be able to read or write French, etc, Missouri Congressmen-Elect. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. %.~—Three Congressmen-elect from Missouri—Cochran of the Fourth, Cooney of the Seventh, and Pearce of the Twelfth—were on the floor of the House to-day. Each is interested in matters pending and in advance of the time he can take part in legislation is keep- ing a watchful eye on progress. TRIED TO POISON HIM. Charge Adam Linsler Makes Against a Dairyman. Judge William Zachritz has received a letter from Adam Linsler of Rich Foun- tain, Osage County, Mo., giving the details of an alleged attempt to poison him when he lived in St. Louls in 1893. Linslier says he was working for a cer- tain South St. Louis dairyman, whose name he gives, The man wanted to borrow money from him, and, when he refused him, ac- cording to Linsler in his food, Linsler declares that several attempts were made to poison him and that finally he left the city in fear for his life. His reason for not complaining sooner is that he thas just settled down to steady employment and is able to prosecute. He asks Judge Zachritz to have the case in- vestigated. The latter has asked the Cir- cuit Attorney to do this, and, if warranted by the facts, to have an indictment re- turned. BURIAL PERMITS. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

The homeless, the paar butts of fortune who had spent the night on the streets or in the police stations, started early for the headquarters of the charitable assoc.a- tions. Before the doois of the. Provident As- | Sociation office at 1113 Locust street open a motley crowd of men and women stood | on the steps. Many of the men showed traces of a sleepless night. The women as @ rule carried baskets. When the throng filed into the corridor the men were s‘ood on the left side of the _hall and the women on the right. As is the rule at the Provident Associa- tion the women were all admitted into the apartment reserved for them at once. Across the hall in the men’s department the wants of the single men are attended to first, the men of family remaining in the hall, During the first hour thirty-three men had been given tickets of adm'ssion to the As- sociation’ wood vard. Each of them will be permitted ta do half a day’s. work chop- ping cord wood For thts work they receive 2) cents in cash, a supper, a night’s lodging and @ breakfast. Within an hour after the door opened fifty women had been given orders for provisions. he demand for clothing and shoes was unusually heavy as was also the demand for the Superintend- fuel. Dr. Thomas M. Finney ent, was at his office early. The first thing he did was to ‘ssue an order that a number of «xtra wagons be hired to deliver coal to deserving families, In the early morning applications were not urusually heavy. After the wants of the single men had been attended to and the married men were admitted, thé real extent of the blighting effect of the cold wave was apparent. There were scores of new faces among the applicants, faces of men who had never asked aid at the hands of the association before. Said Dr. Finney as he watched his small army of assistants waiting on the throng: “If this weather keeps up the rush should be even greater during the next few days. Many families have a supply of provisions and fuel on hand. This cold weather will cause the supply to disappear faster than if the weather were warm. There should be a rush here to-morrow and a still greater rush Wednesday. The cold weather should increase the demand for our wood. We sold so little of it during the warm weather that we have nearly 400 cords on hand now. We $6 a cord. We are selling oak in twelve inch lengths for stove use at $6.50 a ton. These prices will prevail until Feb. 1. “Since the winter opened we have relieved an average of 200 applicants a day. The cold weather should bring the average up to nearly 300: We are well prepared for any emergency and will relieve the suffering of anybody we find worthy of assistance.”’ The Police Department makes an appeal to the charitable public for fuel, food and clothing for the worthy destitute, The sudden fall in temperature has brought to the notice of the police the necessity of providing for the persons with- out home and without funds to provide a shelter. Sunday night 367 men, women ehildren, the polce sta- persons, and little sought poorly dressed, but from what the Olice say, they had the appearance of ard-working people, Many of them told pathetic stories of how they had been reduce to poverty, and of husbands had deserted them, sharks procure work, One man came into the the Chestnut Street Police Station Sunday n‘ght and asked for shelter. The soles of his shoes hed been worn through to ‘his feet. He wore no stockings. His trousers were in tatters, and his coat but a slight protection. He had no home, had drifted to St. Louis as a tramp and was caught in the cold. The police propose to collect any fuel, food or clothing that can be given to the poor. If the residents of any neighborhood will gather up anyth ng they can spare for the poor, that will fill a wagon, the police will send a patrol wagon to the addresses given, gather the goods and distribute them to the worthy poor in the different police districts. : At present they have on hand almost nothing to give to the destitute. The only contribution so far reported is $10 given by Wm. J. Shaw, the commission man at 829 North Broadway. That was’ given to Capt. Joyce of the Fourth District. Last winter most of the merchants came forward with contributions of food and fuel. Then the ladies of the West End res- idences called for patrol wagons and filled JOYS OF MATERNITY. Vigorous Mothers and Sturdy Children Are Always Admired. Why so Many Women Are Childless—A Problem That Has Puzzled Physicians for Centuries. Reproduction is a law of nature, and no picture of joy and happiness can equal that of the vigorous mother and her sturdy child. Nature makes but few mistakes, and every thoughtful ¥ person must admit that a cause exists, why so many women are childless. The ‘subject J baffles the theories of phy- sicians. Such cases are curable nine times out of ten, as evidenced by thousands of letters on file at Mrs. Pinkham’s of- fice. Many a dar ling baby owes its existence to Mrs. Pinkham’s advice wand the Vege- table Compound. This is not to be wondered at when such tes- timony as the following explains itself: ‘I have taken three bottles of your Vegetable Compound, one package of Sanative Wash, one box of Liver Pills; and row I have a dear little babe four weeks old, and I am well. I have to thank you for this. “I have spent $200.00 for doctor's bills without obtaining any relief. For my cure I only spent $5.00. “T had been a victim of female troubles in their worst form; suffered untold agonies every month; had to stay in bed, and have poultices applied, and then eonld not stand the pain. ‘My. physician told me if I became pregnant I would die.

He lay #n the sidewalk some time before a policeman found him and sent him to the Dispensary. Dr. Newcomb found his face, hands and feet badly frostbitten and sent him on to the hospital. Amputation will be necessary. Helcamp’s case is a particularly ead one. He has been out of work since October. Saturday he secured employment with the Laclede Car Co, and was to have gone to work Monday. “If the water had registered 6 feet instead of 13 feet on the gange last night, the river would have closed,” said Capt. Whitledge ot sue Harbor and Wharf Department Mon- “The river is still rather high and the strong current prevents the huge cakes from freézing-together and forming an: ice bridge. It is falling fast, however, and if the weather stays cold four days people will be able to cross thé river on the ice.”’ The surface of the water is covered with cakes four and five inches thick. The boats which came in Monday pulled out as soon as they could, and went back down the river. All the harbor craft which had not already done so sought winter quarters.

Presecutor Lowe Persistently Refuses to Make: Charges Against | Chief Julian. ad wo KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. %.—Mayor Jas. M. Jones sprung a decided sensation at the Lexow investigation this morning when he dramatically arose in the witness stand and holding two slips of paper in his hand, said: “I hold in my hand policy tickets bought within an hour in Kansas City.” The investigators were amazed ahd ‘or a moment perfect stillness prevailed, Chair- man Pope finally asked for: proof of the charge and Mayor Jones quietly called Jim Taylor, a negro, Taylor was sworn and went on to state that he had bought the tickets during the morning, giving the location of tha policy shop and the name of the proprietor. Others substantiated his testimony. When the sensation following this event had subsided, Frank M. Lowe, county pros- ecutor, whose charges of alleged corrupiion led to the appointment of the House as well as the Senate investigating committees, took the stand. A previous attempt to get Lowe before the committee had failed, he declaring that he would refuse to testify until the Senate Commitiee should convene, alleging that the present committee’s work was “a whitewashing affair.’’ Repeated attempts to-day to get Lowe to support his charges against Chief of Police Julian and Police Commissioners Fyke and Johnson failed flatly, Lowe absolutely re- fusing to make any statement. LUCKY O'LEARY. and Escaped. The notorious Dan O'Leary, pal of Mick- ey Mack and Billy Canty, and friend of Judge Murphy, escaped from the meshes of the iaw in the Court of Criminal Correction Monday afternoon. His case was nollie prossed on motion of City Attorney Meiggs, who represented the prosecution. Me'ggs governed his action in the premises by the sugge*tion of Detective Tom Walsh, the prosecuting witness. Walsh knew that it was impossible to make a case against O'Leary, as the evi- dence against him was practically the same as that produced in the appeal cases for idling against Mickey Mack, Billy Canty and other notorious police characters, who were al! discharged. On Dec. 2 O'Leary was arrested by De- | tective Tom Walsh for ating. He was) fined $100 on that charge by Judge Peabody, Jan. 6. O’Leary knew where to find a friend in need and appealed his case to Judge Murphy. M’KINLEY’S CALLERS. A Delegation in the Interest of H. Clay Evans.

It was caused in the first place by-tremendous at- mospheric pressure in the extreme North- west, the barometer there registering 31% inches. This is phenomenal. Prof. Garriott says it is the highest reading in his memory. On account of the intense cold, Sunday, Lake Michigan presented a heautiful sight. Clouds of vapor, caused by the difference of temperature between the atmosphere and the surface of the water, were driven from shore by the high westerly wind and swept eastward in great sheets. As far as the sight could reach, the phenomenon was observed. At times this vapor would roll upward in coiling masses not unlike that seen in geyser regions, and the remark was frequently heard: “The lake ts boiling to-day. Windows of residences fronting on the lake were filled most of the day with people who never seemed to tire of watch- ing the beautiful and ever-changing scene, The cold wave struck Chicago to-day harder than either yesterday or the day before, going materially under'the lowest point of Sunday, when the records of twenty-five years were broken. At 7 a. m. to-day the Signal Service re- ported a temperature of 3 deg. below zero, with no relief in sight. At 8 o’clock the temperature was exactly the same. The heavy fog from the lake which enveloped the down-town district made the cold doub- ly dangerous. Frozen fingers, noses and ears were of common occurrence, and num- erous cases of a more serious character were reported. | Only one death had been reported to the |police up to noon, that of Freda Busch, 5 years old, who succumbed, as the result of exposure. The ambulances, however, were kept busy conveying people to the hosp tals with their feet and hands frozen. George Grant was found in a freight car, mear North street, almost dead, and with hjs feet badly frozen. They will have to be ampu- tated. The work of clearing the down-town streets of snow has been abandoned, on ac- count of the intensity of the cold. Many of the men had no gloves or overcoats and _nearly 400 of them were more or less severe- ily frost bitten. 'the Street Cleaning Department, had his body and limbs so badly frozen that he will probably die. Many of the men were re- moved to their homes or the hospitals in the ambulances. On some lines passengers on the street cars suffered badly. Miss Emma Smith, while riding from Thirty-fifth street to Madison, on a Clark street car, became unconscious and was resuscitated only aft- 'er nearly an hour’s hard work by physi- cians. The various police stataions were crowd- ed to their utmost capacity, the Harrison Street Station alone sheltering over 300 un- fortunates. The Salvation Army barracks on West Madison street was Kept open all night and many were taken care of there. Mayor Swift has issied an appeal for aid, calling wpon the big packers, coal dealers and merchants for contributions and sup- plies to relieve the suffering. In many in- stances the proclamation was forestalled and heavy contributions kept coming in all day. On the floor of the Board of Trade ‘a subscription paper was started and sev- eral thousand dollars subscribed in a few minutes. The big department stores and ‘dry goods merchants sent in checks for $500 and $1,000. | The Police Department has been turned into a vast relief corps. Chief of Police Bad- enoch has iesued orders to every officer in the city to make a persomal investigation ‘of all cases of destitution on his beat and report the same at once. Help is sent im- mediately, and every patrol wagon and in- spector’s carriage is being used for this purpose. One pitiful case of suffering was reported to the Hyde Park Station to-day. At the home of Edwin Martin at %1 West Fifty- first street there was a child thet had died Saturday from starvation and lay unburied in the house. The family was without food, fuel or money, and had been for several days. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25.—Advices received by the Weather Bureau indicate that the full force of the cold wave will not be felt in the Middle and South Atlantic States until to-night and to-morrow morn- ing, when the lowest temperature of the season undoubtedly will be reached, The reports rece.ved show that the entire country, from the Rocky Mounta ns to the Atlantic coast, has felt or will feel severely the effects of the cold snap, which is tech- nically exvlained to be due to an exceed.ng- ly high barometer from the cold breeding regions of the Canadian Northwest prov- inces, pushing south and eastward, and dis- placing a low Barometer in those sect ons, Local snows are generally reported from Texas and from M.ssissippi Valley regions. In this city the thermometer last night went to 9 degrees above zero, and is ex- pected to fall eonsiderably before to-morrow morning. The sun is out and the air is clear and crisp. It is too early to predict how much dam- age will be done to Florida and the South Atlantic States by the cold snap, as the wave will not str.ke that section severely until to-night. The Weather Bureau expects that low temperatures will be general throughout the section east of the Rockies during most of, if not all, this week.

A terrible storm, with the thermometer 30 below, raged all day yesterday from Bis- marck west to Glendive. Between Bismarck and Valley City roads are all right, but the big cut at Oriska, just this side of Valley City, Is the source of trouble.

GOVERNOR Bound to Get “Cussed” for Appoint- ments He Makes and Those He Doesn’t Make.” Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, IL, Jan. 2%.—Gov. John Riley Tanner is still busy sorting out his enormous mall regarding applications for office. The friends of the Governor say that to the present time there has been dumped upon the executive official's table 1,800 pounds of letters, al] asking for places. The supply continues dally, with no abate- ment in sight. The Governor admits that he has fifteen places to fill, and says that he has for these fifteen places 3,500 appli- cants. The truth is that he has over 1,500 places to fill, and has something nearer 8,000 applicants than 3,500. He will appo'nt the Superintendents of State Institutions—and there are thirteen of these alone—first. There are to be appointed three Penitentiary Commissioners for Joliet prison and three for Chester. For these positions he has 268 applicants. For Chap- lain of the Chester prison he has 84 appli- cations, and for the Chaplainship of, the Joliet prison he has 98 applications. Three Railroad and Warehouse Commis- sioners are to be named and the Governor is cons‘dering the applications of 450 prom- inent men for the three positions. For Superintendents of the various other depart- ments he has hundreds of applications. These are what makes the job of Governor a hard and very unpleasant one. John Riley Tanner realizes that many of thése ap- plications come from men who have spent time, money and brains to elect him Gover- nor, and he is in dire distress on account thereof. He says he will now appoint all heads of departments and the minor places will be turned over to the Superintendents direct, making those individuals responsible for the appointments made. This has been arrived at after deep think- ing and close consultation with his friends and advisers. It is the only way out of the trouble and the best way. ) James R. B. Van Cleave, City Clerk of Chicago, who is running the Governor's business, savs no announcements wil) be made until Thursday of this week, which “wil be the military, and no others will be appointed until about Feb. 20. There the matter stands. Uncle Sam, however, con- tinues to dump the little brown envelopes upon his table daily. MR. BELL IS SPOUTING. Prosecutor Johnson Pays His Respects to the State Excise Commissioner. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson is downright angry. He resents the things that Excise Commissioner Nicholas M. Bell has been saying about him. He adds that Col. Bell is blowing off unnecessarily. The trouble is about the non-payment of licenses by some few saloon men. “Now, as a matter of fact,” sald Col. Johnson to a Post-Dispatch reporter Mon- day morning, “‘I have never yet refused to issue a warrant against any of the saloon men. “I got a letter from Col. Bell from Hot Springs telling me that his deputies would apply for and swear to the warrants. The letter was not dated, but I received it the Mth. Next day Mr. Bass, one of Col. Bell's attorneys, came to my office and got a dozen blank applications, saying he wanted warrants. The same day he came to me, accompanied \by Mr. McDermott, one of Col. Bell's deputies. They asked me to sign @ warrant for George Hoeffner, a saloon man near the Four Courts, who had failed to ge I knew that Hoeffner was all right and would pay, so we sent for him. I signed the warrant, however. When Hoeff- ner came he told McDermott tthat he would fix the matter. This was satisfactory to McDermott and he did not swear to the warrant. This is the only warrant that has been asked for so far.” City Ajttorney Clover has issued police summonses against forty-eicht of the saloon men who have failed to pay. Thirty of these cases will be tried in the Police Court Tu ay. The remaining eighteen cases will be tried Friday. Col. Johnson has been furnished with a list of thove against whom summonses have been issued. He says the will issue warrants against any other delinquents when application is made.

It was stated that Senator Sherman has asked Mr. McKinley to release him from his prom- ise to acept the portfolio of State, basing the request on the refusal of Gov.

Peoria Here- Law Work to Be Done at after. CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—The furnace doors of the Shufeldt Distillery have been locked by the Government storekeeper and the probability of a resumption of the plant in the near future is not very bright. The distillery was purchased by the American Spirits Association, the successor ‘to the old Whisky Trust, and has been operated at its full capacity of 3,000 bushels a day. The association has several large plants of 10,- 000 bushels at Peoria and it was decided to have the work formerly done at the Shu- feldt given to one of the Peoria plants. Economy in the operation of the associa- tion dictated the course. The Shufeldt has been used in the manufacture of gin spir- its. ‘The closing of the distillery will cut off two-fifths of the revenue of the internal revenue office in Chicago and throws four- teen Government officials out of employ- ment. The distillery has been paying $3,000,000 a year in taxes to the Govern- FOND OF GREENS. Belle Reilly Swallowed Green Goods and Then Paris Green. Belle Reilly, who was arrested Saturday night in connection with a panel game al- leged to have been worked on Joseph Rogers of 2205 North Ninth street, swallowed a dose of paris green with suicidal intent in her cell at the Four Courts Sunday night. She was removed to the City Hospital and pumped out, but is in a precarious con- dition. Belle was charged with enticing Rogers into her room on Lucas avenue, near Sev- enteenth street, and robbing him of $60— three $20 bills. Officer Bunting and Rogers went to her room, and, anticipating their visit, the woman took the money from Rogers’ purse and swallowed the roll. The dispensary physicians say their treat- ment of the case counteracted the effect of the dose of paris green swallowed by the woman, but they think the wad of green- backs still lodged in her stomach may kill her, YOUNG WOMAN KILLED. She and Her Lover Fell Into an Old SHAMOKIN, Pa., Jan. 25.—While Fred- erick Graecber and Miss Maud Gothie were driving on the public road, half a mile east of this place, last night, the earth caved in and they were precipitated into an aban- doned mine. Searching parties were. un- able to locate them until 4 o’clock this morning. Miss Gothie’s body was horribly bruised and death must have been tnetan- taneous. Both of Mr. Graeber’s feet were frozen and he was almost dead from ex- posure, It is feared that he cannot recover, The couple were engaged to be married. CRITICISED MR. CLOVER.

The Railroads May Not Oppose the Enactment of the Avery Fellow Servant Bill Into Law. Special te the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 25.—The action of the lobby this year is in such contrast with the method of two years ago. and at the extra session, that it is diffi- cult for the members to understand exactly what it proposes to do. Heretofore the representatives of the railroad companies have been in constant attendance at the sessions of the Senate and House, and all measures pending were kept in mind. They perfectly understood the status of nearly every bill—what bills had been introduced, what bills were before committees or ready for engrossment, or third reading, and, in fact, everything before the Legislature was better understood by these men than by the members themselves; and they knew better than anyone else what bills would be passed or defeated. At this time there are but few men here representing the railroad companies, and they are seldom seen about the Capitol dur- ing the session. .Col. Phelps stated before the Committee on Internal Improvement, at the time it was considering the fellow- servant bills, that he had not spoken to a member upon the subject, except to ask the Chairman that he be given an oppor- tunity to be present and be heard at the time they were to be considered. Inquiry fails to discover anyone with whom he has had any conversation bearing upon the subject one way or the other, at this sea- son, and hence it is believed that the bill will not meet any great opposition. Col. Phelps can see the approaching storm as soon as anyone. He stated to a Senator, a friend of his, on the day of the adjournment of the extra session, when he had won the great personal victory of de- feating all measures in which the railway companies were interested and which the Legislature had been convened in extra ses- sion to pass, that it was the last fight he would ever make against a fellow-servant bill; that the sentiment behind it was so strong that it was only.a question of time when it would come,that he had stood i the way of it as long as he would, am that if the railroad companies. desired to further fight against if, somebody else would have to be selected to do the work; that it might serve a purpose at one more session of giving some of the members who came to Jefferson City loaded for a fight an opportunity to exhaust themselves on a fellow-servant bill during the first two or three weeks of the session. In other words, that it might do for them to ‘“‘ghaw on” for a while, but that it would be passed. If it is true that there will be no opposi- tion in the Senate to the passage of a gen- uine fellow-servant bill, it will do much towards allaying the hostility which now exists against the railroad companies. The conservetive leaders in both branches of the Legislature take but little interest in the other bills, but this bill is demanded by the party and the people, and it is wisdom on the part of the railway companies to of- fer no further opposition. There is no special ‘hostility among the members to Col. Phelps. His loyalty to the party during the recent campaign gives him strength that he would not otherwise possess. It is known that while nearly all of the officers and attorneys of the rail- Ways were against the Democratic ticket in the last campaign, he did all in his pow- er to bring about the conditions which re- sulted in a sweeping victory in this State. It known, too, to the members of the Legislature that, while the officers of the railway companies, as a rule, favor the Republican ticket, nearly all of the employes voted for Bryan and the Demo- cratic State ticket, and they do not wish to pass measures which will work disaster to the employes, and it is hoped and believed that the railway companies can and will see that their interest lies not in opposing reasonable legislation, but rather in assist- ing to pass it, and in this way secure the support of the conservative members in op- posing radical and unjust laws.

NPW YORK, Jan. 25.—Just before the St. Louis Convention, when Gov. Morton was a Presidential possibility, an attempt to black- mail him and Mrs. Morton was made. It has been kept up ever since with petty an- noyances. In Sing Sing was James E. Bedell, a forger, and also Amadee Bigott, a murderer. Bigott made the Governor a present of a cigar case, which he had carved. Later, when his health broke down, and under the usual recommendations, he was pardoned. Bedell knew of the present and knew of the law which prohibits the Governor from accept- ing a present of any kind. Severe penalties are provided. After Bigott’s pardon, Bedell demanded his own release under penalty of exposure. He would write letters re- peating his demands and others of his fam- tly would do likewise. The Governor was made as miserable as his nature could permit, but his advisers laughed at him. Mrs. Morton received a warning, which said: ‘“‘We warn. you, your family and yourself disgraced, you must secure, through your husband, the freedom of an abused man, now dying in Sing Sing prison, a man who holds your hus- band’s reputation, and perhaps his Lberty, in his hands.,”’ The letters continued until the last day the Governor was in office. The District At- torney at Albany was also written to, and the charge laid before him, with the re- quest that he have the Governor ind‘cted. “] give Gov. Black fair warning,” Gov, Morton said, as he went out, “to accept no gift from a convict if there happens to be an ex-lawyer in the prison post-office. Bedell has asked Gov. Biack for his par- don, and expressed great regret for annoying Gov. Morton. Warrensburg Normal.

The suffering is doubtless greater in Chicago than elsewhere. There the ad- mitted conditions are appalling in extent and character. While St. Louis is less sorely stricken, conditions here are not euch as to warrant complacent inactivity among those who have whereof to spare.

He is always worth his salary to the interest which employs him-~A few years ago he was collecting figures to justify a tariff on McKinley lines and at that time the fig- ureg proved conclusively to his mind that the tariff was the only thing worth con- sidering. Now he is in the employ of the railroads and he has collected a mags of statistics which dwarf every other industry into insignificance. The tariff is no longer “im it.” Mr, Porter has the figures to prove that the railroads have been losing revenue at the rate of $100,000,000 in ten years, and such a condition, he Insists, is , of such tremendous importance to all our material interesta that it is entitled t, consideration and remedy before every- thing else. There must be legislation, he concludes, to set this right, or we are lost. The Post-Dispatch insisted during the late campaign that the repeal of the anti-poolimg clause in the Interstate Commerce law is a part of the McKinley programme. There has never been the lenest reason to doubt the truth of that etatement. Porter's figures are a prepa- ration of the public mind for the neces- sary legislation. This country must pay “all the traffic will bear,.”’ LET US HAVE PEACB. If we are to enter upon the millennium at onoe there can be no objection to the proposed arbitration treaty with France.

Let us have all the arbitration and all the reduction we can possibly get, We should like to hear from Mr. Olney and Mr. Bayard and Mr. Cleveland as to arbitration with France. We expect to hear ere long that the French proposal is a Russian trick tO prevent an alliance be- tween the United States and England. Well, if such a treaty is necessary to pre- vent an’ entangling ‘alliance with any foreign power, we ought to welcome it.

Since the enactment of the new election law basing registration upon the precinct, the adoption of the precinct plan was ren- dered inevitable whenever the reorganiza- tion of the party in the city should come, The old ward plan was antiquated, cum- bersome, a citadel for bossism, and was largely responsible for the inefficiency of the party’s organization in the city. With the precinct plan in operation, party man- agement will be brought close home to the individual voter, amd under modern con- ditions of party warfare this is the one indispensable condition of effective organ- ization. The only defect in the new plan of or- ganization is that it recognizes the old ward divisions. The bad,effect of this will not be felt for several years. The new committeemen-at-large and the new ward committeemen appointed by the State Committee will for a long time make the central body quite different from what 4t has been for ten or fifteen years past. But in the long run the electiom of the committeemen by wards will perpetuate the power of the old ward bosses and pre- pare the way for new ones, To make the new plan perfect, the old ward divisions should have been utterly ignored in the reorganization. But it is probable that this was the one concession made by the State Committee in order to secure harmony and avoid a factional contest which would have par- alyzed party activity for at least two years, a ——s FREEZING MOTORMEN. This ts the kind of weather to make one feel that the frequent appeals for some kind of protection to motormen on the street cars ought to be followed by a law compelling the companies to furnish such protection if they continue to ignore what is manifestly a duty demanded by the sentiment of humanity. It is difficult in such weather to keep warm inside the cars with the stove burn- ing well and with plenty of wraps on, The conductor can stay inside the cara good deal an” keep fairly comfortable, but the motorman must face the blast, at a temperature below zero, with no possible means of lessening the misery which he is subjected to under such con- ditions. Every one who has tried facing such a temperature for any lengthy pe- rlod knows that no heavy overcoat or other clothing can keep out the bitter air and prevent the body from becoming chilled to the marrow. A few street car companies have pro- vided vestibules or weather shields for their motormen and gripmen. The peo- ple will not be Satisfied until all street cars have this equipment. And if the companies will not put them on their cars, a law must be passed compelling them to do so. a eS ee Mr. D. R. Francis is being considered for Secretary of the Interior in McKin- ley’s cabinet. As this announcement is made in Mr. Francis’ newspaper, it may be considered authoritative, at least to the extent of making it plain that Mr. Francis is willing to be so considered, Nor is this surprising. As Mr. Francis showed an exuberant willingness to desert his party and becomea member of the McKin- ley Aid Society In order to become the tail-end member of a Cuckoo Cabinet for six months, it is only natural that he should be willing to go still farther and become a Republican, if rewarded with the same position for four years, If the official rewards hold out, Mr. Francis will swing around the entire circle of the par- ties before he winds up and ascertains where he is at. _— — O--— CO —oror— The Mayor of Chicago charges that men of wealth and prominence are to blame for the failure of municipal government.

Two opposing views will be taken by | AMericans of France’s reported desire to en- j ter into an arbitration treaty with us. One party of honest men will say that {tis anoth- | er proof of the value of the pending treaty | with Great Britain; that the Duropean gov- | ernments, wearied with the tremendous. burden of fleets and standi armies they | are staggering under, are going to hasten to follow the admirable example set by Secre- tary Olney and Lord Salisbury, not only in making treaties with us, but also with one another; in a word, that war has become im- possible and the millennium of universal] peace with honoer is at hand. But another party of men, no less honest, will see in it fresh reason to look askance upon the Olney-Salisbury treaty. They will- argue that the French, observing how easy it is to hoodwink the enhusiastic and impul- sive Americans into submitting the Monroe doctrine to a royal arbitrator in Europe, have resolved to take advantage of the situ- ation and thus further their designs in re- gard to the Panama Canal. Whichever is the correct view, it is not likely that we shall jump headlong into arbitration, nor ratify any treaty that is calculated to injure us in our rights or our privileges. Nor shall we rejéct any treaty with England or with France that, securing our rights and privileges, at the same time makes war a remoter possibility, Tanner and Madden. From the Lemont (Ill.) News.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispateh. : In Saturday evening's Post-Dispatch pic last evening. This is the second suc- ceasful season of Frank Daniels and his company in the opera, but St. Louis has never seen Kk before. The lines are by Harry B. Smith and the music by Victor Herbert. The story is about Kibosh, a Persian magi. cian, who, while on a professional tour of Egypt, gets into favor and then into dif- ficulties with Ptolemy. He asp'res to wed Cleopatra, who knows naught of love, but there are other ambitious gentlemen at court, One of them is a baritone singer, who is teaching Cleopatra what love is, and another is Kibosh’s assistant, Abydos. Through the machinations of his enemies, Kibosh is immured in a pyramid to die of hunger, but by some unexplained mis- chance Ptolemy ‘6 incarcerated with him, Abydos and a band of rollick- ing blades impersonated by young wo- men, learn the secret of the pyra- mid and, after frightening Kibosh and Ptolemy by posing as mummies, they help Kibosh force the King to terms. The story is not skillfully worked out and the lines are for the most part inane, but Mr. Daniels is nearly always in evidence and he is very funny. Every time he played the egg trick on Ptolemy the audience enjoyed it, and he did it whenever there was nothing else to do. The first two acts of the opera are amus- ing and the last ig uproariously funny. The music is characteristic of Victor Her- bert. It is admirably adapted to the lines and there is much melody in it. The most successful number is a quarry chorus that instantly revalls the Tinker chorus in “Robin Hood.” It ultimately sets one to wondering if Herbert stole the melody from De Koven, from whom did De Koven filch it? There are other bright and tuneful numbers in the score, as every one knows who pays the slightest attention to music as it is rendered by playhouse orchestras. The company is particularly strong in its mas- culine contingent. Mr. Daniels gets the bulk of the honors as a funmaker, but Leonard Walker’s magnificent baritone voice wins him great applause, and Louis Cassovant’s deep, melodious bass adds ma- terially to the enjoyment of the perform- ance. The male chorus is notably strong. Louise Royce as Abydos has several catchy solos and renders them with spirit. Miss Royce has a nice figure and a face that would give her free admission to an A, O., H, picnic. Edna Thornton as Cleopatra is better to look at than she is to hear. Dorothy Morton had the part during the company’s European tour. It ig a pity Miss Thornton hasn’t Miss Morton’s voice, Greta Risley as Simoona, Ptolemy’s second wife, lacks animation. The young women in the chorus are a delight to the eye. The scenery and costumes are artistic and ap- propriate. —_o — Mr. and Mrs. Russ Whytal, new stars to St. Louis, appeared last night at the Four- teenth Street Theater in a war drama enti- tled “For Fair Virginia.” The play was written” by Mr. Whytal, presumably to fit the respective talents of himself and wife. There is nothing particularly new in its con- struction such as to give it high rank in dra- matic efforts, but as produced by the Whyt- als it was distinctly pleasing to the audiencé, Some of the situations are absurd, but the sentiment is healthy throughout. The scene is laid in Southerland, Va., during the Civil War. The story opens with a family divided within itself over the great question. A Northern man, Edward Esmond, has mar- ried a Southern woman. He is true to the Union, she to the South. He goes away to fight for his country; she remains to do what she can for her cause. Stephen Dun- bar is a neighbor of Esmond. He loves Nell Esmond, the Northerner’s sister, although he ts gray to the death and she is blue. He enlists in the Confederate Army, while the Northern girl remains un- der her brother's roof, still loyal to the stars and stripes, and yet devoted to her brother’s wife. John Laughlin, a Yankee, turned Southerner, is the villain. He loves Mrs. Esmond and uses his power as a Con- federate general to force her to elope with him. There are all sorts of complications arising as a result of so many persons being loyal to each other and at the same time loyal to their different sections. In the end Dunbar and Nell Esmond are condemned to die by Gen. Laughlin and are only saved by the fall of Richmond. So carefully has sec- tional prejudice been avoided in all this dangerous ground that the piece may be produced either North or South without arousing resentment, and what was good on both sides is given prominence. The villain was made a Yankee turned Southerner for selfish reasons—a type neither side had any respect for. Mr. Whytal is not a great actor. He is easy and graceful and looks well in uniform, but he hasn’t the dash and vim for a military hero. He certainly makes love well, however. He evinced this ability in the first act, while teaching Nell Esmond to roll cigarettes. Mrs. Whytal is clever enough as Nell Esmond, but her perform- ance was overshadowed by that of Mabel Bert, who interpreted the role of the South. ern woman with the true ring of sad gsin- cerity in every line she uttered. Alexander Kearney, as the villain, abominable. His ranting was entirely out of place and by contrast with the work of the other members of the company was painful. Lottie Briscoe, as little Jullan Esmond, al- though but a child, had an tmportant role which she interpreted with remarkable talent.

Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—There is a report that the new timber dry dock tn the Navy Yard, which is known as dock No. 3, has been found to be two feet shorter and four inches shallower than the _ specifications called for. Thes is the biggest of all] the docks in the yard. At the Navy Yard the officers would not affirm or deny the rumors. The original contract for the dry dock was for its completion in April, 1894, at a coat of $412,000. The work was concluded several weeks ago at a cost of more than $1,010,000. The story is that the defecta have — been .discovered by Cavil Engineer tobert E. Peary, United States Navy, the Arctic explorer. It is said that Chief Engineer Menocle had charge of the dock and that it was his busi- oss to tee that everything was dome ac- cording to the plans and specifications. It is also said that the discrepancy was due to the fact that the tape used by the con- tractors lost three inches in every one hundred feet, while Lieut, Peary used a measure which was absolutely correct. The loss of two feet in the length would not be very serious; but the loss of four inches in depth is a different matter, as, accord- ing to ‘the official measurement, this is paid to leave only two inches of safety. If this prove to be true, it means, it is gesverted, that the big cruisers can be docked only at high tide, and that then the greatest care will have to be taken. This, then, leaves no dock on the Atlantic where the battleships can go without great danger, as similar conditions exist at Port Royal. In Olden Times People overlooked the importance of per- manently beneficial effects and were satis. fied with transient action; but now that it is generally known that Syrup of F'gs will permanently overcome habitual constipa- tion, well-infornted people will not buy oth- er laxatives, which act for a time, but fin- ally injure the system. SOLICITOR’S SUICIDE. An Employe of the Appletons Kills Himself in California. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 2%.—A. H. Griesbach, a solicitor for the publishing house of Appleton & Co. of New York, by whom he had been employed over twenty ears, committed suicide by shooting himself n the head. His body was found by two boys on a high peak out by Sunnyside on the line of the San Mateo Electric Road. It was stretched out on a large rock at the highest point the man could reach. The family of Griesbach is prominent in military circles in Berlin, a brother being First Lieutenant in the 4th Regiment of Uhlans, and a sister being married to an officer of high rank in t#fe German army. When a young man Griesbach held a com- mission in the army, and according to his friends was a man of high literary attain- ments. He had the reputation of making money readily and of spending it like a rince. In addition to the income derived rom his work, which was said to be some- times over $100 a day, he received at irreg- ular intervals large sums of money from Europe. the How Mrs. Hungerford Became a Writcr of Popular Light Novels.

THE BRADLEY MARTIN BALL. More Sermons Drawing Contrasts Be- tween Luxurious Extravagance and Grinding Poverty. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—All New York went to church twice yesterday expecting sen- sational sermons on Mrs. Bradley Martin’s ball, but in most instances no reference was made to the subject. Dr. Lyman Abbott had a large congregation in Plymouth Church over in Brooklyn, and instead of touching upon the all-consuming ball ex- travagance, he furnished an hour’s mirth on Jonah and the whale to the delighted auditors. Indeed the audience became 80 hilarious at the close that Mr. Abbott felt obliged to call attention to the fact that the Bible is aceepted by all Christians as God’s word and its utterances are not fit subject for ridicule. He said that the adventures of Jonah had been called the “Pickwick Papers’’ of the Bible. With great gusto he described Jonah’s adventures in the ill-fated vessel up to the moment when he was thrown overboard. “And a great fish came up,’’ Dr. Abbott went on, ‘‘which God had ready there,’’ and the paraphrase.of the scr ptural story was received with poorly suppressed laughter from the benches in front. This grew in volume and intensity as Dr. Abbott pict- ured Jonah composing and probably in- diting a sonnet in the whale’s belly. But the most mirth-provoking was the picture of the relations between Jonah and God after the prophet had found that Nineveh would not be destroyed at the time ‘he indicated. Then the pfcture of the peppery prophet, angry at the Lord because he allowed the gourd under which he rest- ed to fall away so the sun struck him, caused loud laughter to ring through the church. “The whole story is a parable or fiction tending to show the Kindliness, the pity and the mercy of God,” said he. ‘“‘No man is better for believing the story and no man is worse for not believing it. Christ used fiction in parables in his discourses. Some people may be disturbed because they cannot bring themselves to believe’ the whale story. They should not go on their knees and ask to be coerced into believing it. The foolishness is in believing unbe- lievable things.’’ At 8t. George’s Episcopal Church the crowd jammed the old edifice as never be- fore. The benches in the choir loft and the steps of the chancel were utilized as seats, and many persons stood near the doors. Its pastor is the Rev. Wm. Rainsford, who created the existing sensa- tion concerning the Bradley-Martin ball by urging his parishioners to remain away from it, declaring it a dangerous display of wealth. Dr. Rainsford made a warm and conservative appeal in behalf of true Chris- tian kindness and at several points through the sermon dwelt on the strong contrasts of poverty and wealth, and urged his hear- ers to avoid all outward display of riches that might breed discontent among the poor. “Civilizations that have come into selfish contact with the rights of man have gone to the wall; individuals who have opposed the good of man in its broadest sense, which is the good of God, have been over- whelmed. Where do we stand in this ever- lasting battle to improve and relieve man- kind? Unless we do our best God will cover us with disaster.” * The Rev. Dr. Madison C. Peters, who es- poused Dr. Rainsford’s attack, preached to a large audience also, which applauded his strictures. The banquets of Nero, Venus, Heliogabalus and other historic instances of extravagance and their results were cited, and he continued: “Tn all seriousness I ask, ‘Are we not fall- ing back into the reckless and sensual prod- ‘wality of heathen'sm, while thousands of our ec'tigens are clothed in rags, shivering in the cold crying for food?’ ‘This makes the multitude restless, quer- ulous against society, against their ‘more fortunate neighbors and against God. That aman can do as he pleases with his money is the eternal falsehood which mothers all our woes. Our men and women can solve our social problems by the right use of wealth, but wasteful, luxuriant extrava- ance uniformly corrupts good manners and lowers public morals.’ Wabash Railroad RY FAR THE FASTEST AND BEST LINE TO PEORIA.

Willis, late Minister of the United States to Hawaii, reached Louisville last night from Chicago over the Pennsylva- nia Road. The remains were accompanied by Mrs. Willis, her son Albert 8. Willis, Miss Day Dulaney, her sister, and Col. James Tucker of Virginia, the personal represent- ative of President Cleveland, and Mr. W. H. Dulaney, the father of Mrs. Albert 8. Willis, who met the funeral party at Chicago. The remains of Mr. Willis will lie at the home of Mr. Dulaney until Tuesday morn- ing at 10:30 o'clock, but in consideration of the wishes of Mrs. Willis the casket will not be operied. The funeral will e place from the Fourth and Walnut street Christian Church. Mr. Willis was a member of this church, and although Mrs. Willis is an Epis- copalian, she felt that to have the funeral take place from the Christian Church would have pleased her husband. The burtal will be in the lot of Mr. Dulaney in Cave Hill Cemetery. The alumni of the Louisville High School, of which . Willis was a member, will attend the funeral in a y. Fell Off a Car. John F.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 25.—A convict in the Ohio penitentiary claims to be the illegiti- mate brother of Clara Ward of Detroit, bet- ter known as Princess Chimay, the infatu- ated lover of Rigo, the Hungarian gypsy fiddler. This convict, Heber Stewart, is serving a three-year sentence for shoot- ing and wounding a man in a quarrel in Vinton County, .where he was born and reared. There is no doubt of h's sincere be- lief in his story. He cried as he told.it. Through a letter to his foster father, Hiram ening, a Vinton County farmer, he learned that his father was Capt. Ward, the deceased wealthy ship owner and manu- facturer of Detroit. When 15 he went to Dettoit and ferreted out his mother, Kate Murran. She confessed to him that she had been Ward’s mistress for years. She had gone to the Dening place and had there given birth to the boy. Heber says he never saw the Princess Chimay, but he is sure that she is his half sister. DOWN A SHAFT. A Mine Worker Fell 350 Feet to His Death. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CARLINVILLE, Ill, Jan. 25.—This morn- ing at Girard, twelve miles north of here, occurred a shocking accident. George Bridges, aged 45 and married, while attending the duty of caging empty boxes at the Girard Coal Company’s mine, missed his footing and fell to the bottom of the shaft, a distance of 350 feet. His body was horribly mangled. The Coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental kill- ing. KEHOE WILL LITIGATION. Suicide’s Estate Turned Over to the Public Administrator. The Judge of Probate on Monday appointed Dr. Richardson, the Public Admin’'strator, to take charge of the estate of James F. Kehoe, the suicide. The action was made necessary by Irene Kehoe’s suit against the estate. Lawyer Hopkins, representing Mr. Bolling, the executor under the will, claims she is a daughter of Kehoe’s deceased wife’s sister, and therefore of no kin to him. Miss Kehoe is represented by Tom J. Rowe. He consented to Dr. Richardson’s appointment. STOCKHOLDER’S WITHDRAWAL. Judge Spencer’s Important Ruling in a Building Association Suit. Judge Spencer passed on the claim of John Johnson against the Western Building and Loan Association. He paid $108 as a shareholder and gave notice that he wanted to withdraw his money. C. H. Sawyer, the secretary, gave the note of the association for the amount. Johnson was unable to col- lect the note, and brought a suit. Mean- while the association assigned. The com- missioner, Walter F,. McEntire, recom. mended that Johnson’s claim be allowed, but as a shareholder, and not as a pre- ferred creditor. Judge Spencer overruled the report of the commissioner, and or- dered that Johnson come in as a creditor— it ee the fact that Johnson had with- drawn from this association when the note Was given, and was no longer a share- holder. MR. PRIMM RELENTED. Concluded Not to Prosecute Those Al- leged Blackmailers. V. B. Primm refused to prosecute Henry Grupe and George Weisman, the young men he had arrested Saturday for black- mailing him. The publicity of the arrest and the fact that a young woman was mixed up in it caused Mr. Primm to pay a hasty visit to Chief Harrigan. He gaid he thought the prisoners had been punished enough and asked that they be released. Mr. Primm then quietly left the city ‘‘on business,’’ it was said at his office in the Rialto building. Hayden & Schreiber have opened their Turf Exchange at 104 North Fourth street. MISTAKEN FOR A THIEF. Henry Roening Was Killed by His Brother-in-Law. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CARLYLE, Ill., Jan. 2.—Six miles west of here, late Saturday night, Ernest Mai- baum, a farmer, shot and killed Henry Roening his brother-in-lay, aged 15 years, mistaking him fora burglar. Young Roen- ing, who lived with Maibaum, was out coon hunting Saturday night and returned home between 11 and 12 o’clock. He en- tered the house and went to the sleeping apartments of his sister and brother-in- law to get warm, the only fire in the house being there. Mrs. Maibaum awakened her husband b crying “Thief! M baum grabbe his gun and i= fired, the shot takin effect in the breast. Roening cried, ‘‘give me the other load,”’ and sank to the floor. Coroner Also held an inguest Sunday afternoon and found in accordance with the above facts.

Pool-Rooms Downtown Are More Profitable to the Gambling In- terest in Control. There are a.lot of sad and cold horse owners disconsolately standing around the stoves at South Side race track wondering how they will manage to get through the cold snap without freezing or starving to death. The merry-go-round has of late be- lied its title and has been very sad rather than merry. The gambling end of it has proven a failure, so the racing end has again been sacrificed. The attendance since the opening of the pool-room has been limited to the stable gangs and a few owners and jockeys. The gambling has been done by them exclusively, and as most of them were ‘‘wise’’ in stabie parlance the books stood but a poor show at their hands. The owners of horses which have been running there find themselves in a very masty predicament. They are outlaws from the regular tracks which will begin to open about the first or the middle of March. It may be that the merry-go-rounds will thaw out with the spring weather and give these free lances of the turf another chance to go at each other again hke a lot of pirates, but the chances are very slim. he only other winter outlaw track is at Iron Hill, in Maryland, and that is in such bad odor that it cannot last long. The horses are being doped regularly and races are being fixed in a way that is: simply shameful, The bookmaking interests at the South Side have been moved to well equipped and profitable poolrooms down town, where they o2n make more money. Having no further oe for the horse-owners they simply desert em.

It is not at all likely that interference would come from the authorities of either county. A letter received from the editor of a Montana da'‘ly, which can be taken as evi- dence that there can be a fight, stated that Gov. Robert B. Smith recently remarked: “I am a ~ etre A gentleman, and if the fight takes place in Montana I may be among the spectators."’ As Gov. Smith owes his nom:.- nation to Marcus Daly, it is quite 1 kely that Mr. Daly’s advice would cui some igure in Yalo and Harvard Still Asunder on determining the matter of gubernacorial in- the Méeting Question. NDPW YORK, Jan. 25.—A special to: the Herald from Cambridge says: Harvard's athletes just now are devoting more at- tention to the Harvard-Yale question than to actual practice in their respective branches of sport. In the absence of of- ficial announcement of the progress of the negotiations, arguments for and against games with Yale this year are heard on every side. The general feeling, based on rumors and conjectures having a substan- tial backing of faet, is that contests be- tween the blue and the crimson will have to wait another year and that Harvard athletics for another season must proceed without the stimulus given by the pros- ect of games with the natural rival at New Haven. It will be remembered that at the meet- ing of the Athletic Committee and leading Harvard men at the Parker House on May 30, 1895, it was voted that unless Yale should back down from her position, Har- | vard must not engage with Yale in any. branch of athletics for ‘‘some seasons.”’ This was merely an expression of Harvard | sentiment, and was wholly independent of | the official relations between the commit- tee amd Yale’s officials. Later, however, this attitude of Harvard was expressed to Yale in an official communication, author- | ized by Prof. James B. Ames, Chairman of the committee, and written by Manager Fred W. Moore. This is practically the situation at pres- ent. Harvard has her previously agreed second race with Cornell, which must be rowed without regard to a race with Yale. The Cornell race will without much doubt be rowed on July 2 at Poughkeepsie. To row Yale after this race would be palpably unwise, and any proposition to that end Harvard was perfectly justified in refus- in The majority of students, including the most influential base ball and track men, have decided that base ball and track games are desirable even without a boat race, and that it would be no backing down on Har- vard’s part to arrange these games, leay n the race until 1898, when the present dif- ficulties for arranging the same shall have all been removed. An end of the negotlations will be no less a relief to Cambridge than they doubtless will be to Yale. In a few days the athletic committee will make an announcement of the negotiations th's winter. =>- -— ASSOCIATION FOOT BALL. Cycling Club and Diels Now Tied for First Place. The Diels foot ball team, fortified in va- rious. Weak spots by the addition of new players, defeated the Cycling Club team at New Sportsman's Park yesterday after- noon. The ground was frozen hard and audience, which made up what it lacked in numbers. The victory of the Diels by a score of 2 to 1 put that club even with the Cycling Club in the race for first place. in the league. The mepes was defeated by the Jokerst team at the College ground by a score of 4tol.

Managers Tebeau and Joyce Leave St. Louis To-Night. Manager Pat Tebeau of the Cleveland ball team and Manager Billy Joyce of New York will leave for the East this evening. Tebeau goes to Cleveland to take hold of his club and Joyce goes because it is time for him to get busy over the coming sea- son. Tebeau says that there is not a shadow of a doubt that Cleveland has the best team in the League, and that it will finish first. He is so sure of this that he is looking about constantly for chances to wager mon- ey in support of his opinion, He will not trade Jack O’Connor, and the only men in the League he would like to have are Breitenstein and Peltz. St. Louis will finish in eleventh place, just amend of Pittsburg, is the way Tebeau fig- urés it. “I never said what is credited or charged to me about Joe Corbett,” said the little manager. “I know Corbett is a good ball layer and a good pitcher, and I look for im to make a. success of the game. It would be great to have Jim Corbett quit pugilism and buy a ball team, wouldn’t it.” If the Clevelands go South at all this spring for practice they will go to Hot | Springs, from which resort Tebeau has just returned.

On account of the secrecy with which the police onerate, on the theory that If erim- finals fall to read in the papers that they have committed a crime they will conclude the crime has not been discovered and per- haps forget all about it themselves, Mr Edwin F, Kaime didn’t know a thing about the gang being at work when he decided to close hig house, His health was poor nd his physicians advised a trip to Cal!- ornia.

FORCED TO GIVE HIMSELF UP. He Had Not Eaten for Three Days and Was Nearly Dead From Cold. ~ John Stewart, poorly clad and nearly dead from cold and hunger, entered the Central District Police Station at 11:3 o’clock Mon- day. He wanted to be locked up. He sa‘d he was wanted in Murphysboro, Il, for burglary. Stewart was so weak he could hardly talk. He said he had had nothing to eat for several days and had no place to sleep. He preferred going to the penitentiary to dodging the officers and dying from starva- tion and cold. Stewart said he had broken into the gen- eral store of Halliday Bros., at Muddy Val- ley, Ill., a few weeks ago, and had stolen | a lot of clothing. He brought his plunder to St. Lowis, suld it to second-hand dealers and had managed to eke out a miserable existence on the proceeds. He spent his last cent for food last Fri- day, and since then has loafed around the saloors as long as they would let him. Saturday night he nearly froze. He was driven from one ¥aloon to another. Ho would have applied to one of the police stations, but he feared arrest. Sunday night was worse. He crawled into a deserted house near the levee. Monday morning he was nearly dead. His feet were frost bitten and he could scarcely walk. He knew he could not stand it much longe- and hestitated between throwin himseif into the river and giving himaelt up. He decided on the latter. Stewart is about 23 years old. He gsa'd he was employed in the coal mines at Muddy Valley, IJl., but work was so slack there that a humber of men were discharged a month ago. He had no money and that was what prompted him to steal. He was never arrested before, he s2‘d Stewart was locked up and will be held fur the Illinois authorities. CAPT. KING, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.

Bill Being Framed to Meet Objection of City Fathers. Charles Sutter will make another endeavor to ret a bill through the Municipal Assembly and approved by the Mayor so that the sub- Way difficulties now existing may be par- tially or entirely settled. The Mayor has vetoed two ordinances for the Sutter conduit and the Supreme Court has knocked out the original measure. Th last attempt will be made either Tuesday night or Friday night at the regular meet- ing of the Counce‘), Mr. Sutter, in speaking of the new bill, said: ‘It is not complete yet, as it is still in the hands of the lawyers, but I shall en- deavor to make !t comform to all the objec- tions indicated by the Mayor and others who have had a aad in defeating former meas- ures. All we want is to know if we will ever be allowed possession of our own property. We have made no mistakes and have acted in good faith throughout. We are merely asking the municipality to correct the mts- takes and blunders it ahs made. “If the city will only declare itself one way or another, we will thus know where we stand and what we can do. “The bill will be introduced as soon as it, is ready, but when that will be I cannot tell definitely.’’ BRICK-TESTING EXPERT.

THEY FEARED A BOOMERANG. A Counter Investigation Was Threat- ened on Account of Alleged Com- missions on Vitrified Brick. ap Near the close of 189% the Post-Dispatch told of a resolution which had been drawn up to be introduced in the City Council, asking that the Street Department be in- vestigated. It was never introduced. The reason is niow known. It became evident that if the Council investigated the Street Department, somebody else would investigate the Coun- ell. The Counct! has no use for investigations which work both ways. It was stated at the time that a number of men high in official and political circles would be involved if the investigation took lace. It was the-certainty that men high n official and political circles would be in- volved by a counter investigation that caused the resolution to be withheld. The resolution was sweeping and severe. It accused the Street Department of draw- ing specifications which oniy tne vitrified brick made by the St. Louis Pressed Brick Company could meet. Inferior brick fur- nished by this company, it was charged, Was accepted by the department's inspect- ors over the protests of contractors, and better brick than that made by the Nied- ringhauses was subjected to such rigid in- spection that it was invariably rejected. This was rough on the Street Depart- ment, but it now develops that the suffer- ings of Commissioner Milner and his men were to be entirely vicarious. It was the Niedringhauses at whom the resolution was aimed. It was not fired off, because the gentlemen who primed it sawa blunderbuss loaded with hotter shot pointed in their direction. People who take an interest in street aving will remember that a year ago both ouses of the Municipal Assembiy seemed to have gone daft over vitrified brick. It was the only paving material. They would not so much as consider anything else. Bills for paving with it went through the Assem- bly as though they were greased And they were, if the stories told are true. Suddenly the tide changed. Vitrified brick fell from favor. The bills calling for the materia! stuck, fast before they were fairly started on their way. The legislative chute was no longer greased. It was just prior to the when the brick ordinances were going through so amoothly. Then came the Speakership row. Mr. Diekman was un- seated and Mr. Keliy was elevated to his place. Diekman's friends were sore. Some of them went to President McMath of the Board of Public Improvements and _ told him witat they knew about vitrified brick ordinances. Mr. McMath was aroused. A few days later he met an officer of the Niedringhaus Company on the street. The Niedring- hauses were interested in vitrified brick ordinances. So were some other people. Mr. MeMath’s remarks were of a general character. Certain -brick manufacturers, he under- etood, had been promoting vitrified brick legislation by allowing a commission of 50 cents per thousand brick. He really did not like to make it disagreeable for these gentlemen, but they would have to sto» that sort of thing or no more brick org. mances would be reported by the Board and something might drop harder than a thousand of vitrified brick. The Niedringhaus official looked pained. He said he would look into the matter and if he found that any of their rivals in busi- mess were doing such wicked things he would warn them to flee from the wrath to come. Soon after that the Municipal Assembly conceived a violent antipathy to vitrified brick. The explanation given is that there was an understanding that for every thousand of brick sold t6O contractors in consequence of the passage of the ordinances the Assembly Was to have 530 cents. How it was to be Some say the Council 30 cents and others that the House was to-xet that amount. It seems certain that the other brick companies paid all the commissions that were paid. Before the time came for the Niedringhauses to do so, Mr. McMath had 6ald his little piece, the Niedringhaus of- ficial had applied it to himself and the legis- reorganizatior. —— waited in vain.

They saw thousands wpon thousands of 4 bricks going down on the streets. was gall and wormwood to ; y determined to throw suspicion on them by an investigation. The resolu- tion was drawn wp. Ceuncilman Olark, be- ing a disinterested person, was to introduce He was willing to do dt, but he never got a chance. The information “was quietly passed around that a bot of things would be told about that commission business if it was dntroduced, Another Councilman got hold of it and Mr. Clark has never seen it since. He is still wondering, in his artless, Hiber- mian way, why the gentlemen changed their minds. >It is significant that since the commission scare, the Assembly has again turned with favor to vitrified brick. A large number of crosswalk ordinances, which had been acted upon adversely, were called up and passed. ® wise men of the City Hall call this an act of propitiation. President McMath refused to tell what he knew about the commission business, but when the reporter told him all about it, he, with the greatest reluctance, ad- mitted that the story, so far as it related to his acts, was correct. He declared he ad never told anybody of it, and could not imagine how the story got out, Councilman Clark was seen at h‘s home, 33 Eads avenue, last Bight. He is laid up eatin he rec Thureday night. . — It is supposed that the assault grew out of his connection with the suppressed in- vestigation. He hesitated when asked if he Suspected any of the people who would have affected by the resolution. “Il hardly think,” he said, “that they but I don’t It is very mysterious, I was not I had a little money in my out- _— ocket — I could not find when I go ome, but it might have when they knocked me down.” oe He insisted that the prospect of a counter f ameniidenenenime know. robbed. investigation did not cause the resolution to be sidetracked. It was the nearness of the spring election which influenced the gentle- men, he understood. He said he had heard the House of Delegates a 50-cent commission.

Logeman Chair Manufacturing Com- something about | There will be a pany, removed recently from 4252 West Pine boulevard to @ handsomer residence further west. A quantity of furniture and carpets were left in the vacant house. Saturday Mrs. Logeman sent a colored man to the old house on an errand. He found a wagon in front of the house and three men inside preparing to cart everything away. When he returned with assistance the men had disappeared, but had taken nothing, HIS CUSTOMER HAD A SANDBAG SCHOOL DIRECTOR PENNEY AS- SAULTED IN HIS STORE. WAS HIT ON THE’ HEAD. When Mr. Penny Reached for a Re- volver the Robber Ran Out and Escaped. School Director Charles G. Penney is so grateful that his skull wasn’t broken by the blow he got on the head with a sand- bag that he doesn’t much mind the ugly wound which is now almost concealed by a six-inch strip of sticking plaster. It was last Friday night that he had the tussle with a sandbagger. He was closing his drug store at Twenty-first and Market streets. The blinds in the show windows had been pulled down, and Mr. Penney had taken the cash drawer behind the prescrip- tion desk and was just putting the contents in the safe when he heard the front door opened. Mr. Penney peeped out through the glass screen of the prescription desk and saw a tall, well built stranger standing in front of the cigar case. The stranger bought a cigar and then asked for some perfumery. The perfumery is kept in a case on the other side of the store, and just as Mr. Penney was passing between the counters his customer sprang toward him. He pulled a sandbag from beneath his coat, raised his arm and then brought it down on the School Director's head. Mr. Penney was partly stunfhed by the blow and fell to his knees. He would have probably been knocked senseless had he not broken the force of the blow by throwing up his arm. The robber was preparing to hit him a second time when the druggist made a dive forward, staggered to his feet and then,rushed for the shelf where his loaded revolver was lying. Evidently the robber had no other weapon than his sandbag, or if he had he was afraid to use it, for when he saw Mr. Penney reach for the revolver he ran out into the street, slamming the door behind him. Mr. Penney ran after h'm, but the fellow had disappeared in the darkness. The po- lice suppressed the incident. TELEGRAPH POLES CAME DOWN. Contracting Wires and High Wind Snapped Them Off. Four overladen telegraph poles at Man- chester and Vandeventer avenues broke under the strain caused by the cold and wind at 5:45 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Strect car traffic was delayed several hours and no Wabash trains could cross the bridge over Manchester avenue until 10 o'clock. The wires and cables above the bridge blocked the Wabash trains, one of which, due a few minutes after ithe acci- dent, had to be flagged to prevent a dis- aster. : The trolley wires of the Missour! and Lindell railways were carried down, also the wires of the Missouri Electric Light and Power Co., the Bell Telephone Co., the Ed- izon Illuminating Co. and the city fire alarm and telegraph wires. Linemen of tthe various companies were at work several hours in the bitter cold with the aid of ecalcium lights. The con- traction of the wires by cold, with the con- Sequent strain on the poles and the ve- locity of 'the wind,‘caused the accident. Lindell M. E. Church Dedication.

ASSESSORS GALLED TO BOOK LEGAL INQUISITION INTO THE LAST BOARD’S ACTS. SINGLE TAXERS TAKE A HAND. Court of Appeals Asked to Pass Upon the Legality of the Custom of Undervaluing. The farcical and discriminating assess- ment of St. Louis real estate will receive judicial scrutiny. Through an application for a writ of cer- tiorari filed Monday in the St. Louis Court of Appeals, the last Board of Assessors and Board of Equalization may be forced to certify their proceedings to the court for review. The action is taken on motion of John J. McCann, an attorney, He appears in his capacity as a producer of city, State and school taxes. Mr. McCann admits frankly that his object is to get a proper case before the courts and the public just to get relief from existing evils and ultimately to get assessments on a single tax basis. He thinks that he is justi- fied in this by local circumstances, as the St. Louls real estate assessment is almost wholly confined to land values and affects ve improvements only in a slight de- ee, In arguing his motion Mr. McCann will have the volunteered assistance of a num- ber of attorneys, who share with him Hen- ry George’s contention that land should bear all the burden of taxation. The defendants to the writ are President A. H. Fredericks of the Board of Assessors: District Assessors Oscar F. Doering, Chas. Reinhart, Frederick Von Phul, Henry E. Hart, Martin T. Brennan, John P. Owen, Chris D. Brokate, Michael Cook and J. E. Prendergast and Richard D. Lancaster, John J, O’Brien, James O. Broadhead and Frederick E. Telle, a Board of Equaliza- tion. The State Board of Equalization, con- sisting of Gov. Wm. J. Stone, Auditor Jas. M. Seibert, Treasurer Lon V. Stephens, Secretary of State Alex Lesueur and Atty.- Gen. Walker, are also made parties to the suit. The action is based on the assess- ment of 1895. The relator sets forth that neither the President nor District Assessors here had indorsed upon their certificates of election or appointment, as required by law, the oath that he will faithfully or impartially discharge the duties of his office and as- sess all property to be assessed by them at its full cash value. The omission of this oath seems signif- icant, as, though the law calls for a full assessment, it is generally understood that the assessed figures are away below that valuation, Another shortcoming of the assessors Is that they failed to secure from owners of taxable real estate sworn statements of their holdings, with their valuations. They also failed to keep a record of sales and transfers by which they might arrive ao true cash value of assessable prop- erty, Mr. McCann then charges directly that, in violation of the consti ution and laws, char- ter and ordinances, the assessors have ne- glected and refused to assees the owners of taxable property at the true value of ther holdings. He ciles sixty flagrant instances w:thin the districts bounded on the south by Mar- ket street, north by Franklin avenue. west by Twelfth street and east by Fourth street, a portion comprising less than one one hun- dred and twenty-fifth of the total area of the city. Some of these examples of false assess- ment are Interesting. For instance: Lot in city block 192, fronting 84 6-12 feet on South side of Olive street, by a depth of 86 feat, running south, bounded east by line 50 6-12 feet west of Elghth street, assessed at $213,650. Sold various times between July, 1895, and July, 1896, for $300,000, $450,000 and $550, 000. A lot on the southwest corner of Tenth street and Lucas avenue, assessed at $20,880, sold for $65,000. A lot on Ninth street, a few feet south of i te avenue, asses6ed at $7,180, sold for 20,000. A lot on the southeast corner of Sev- enth and Pine streets, assessed at $96,355, sold for $170,000. A lot at the northeast corner of Seventh and Pine streets, assessed at $38,950, sold for $125,000. A lot on Fourth street, between Wash- ington avenue and St. Charles street, as- sessed at $161.250, sold for $300,000. The proportion of assessed to real value in all of these instances varies from one- third to one-half. Mr. McCann states that the universality and unconscienableness of under assessment in St. Louis and the State of Missouri have been matters of common public notoriety. The situation is commented on in the United States census reports and in the report of the State Bu- reau of Labor statistics. The latter document shows that in the business district of St. Louls the excess of real over assessed value on thirty-six large buildings is $9,859,199. Mr. McCann then called attention to the flagrantly inadequate assessment of street railway corporations. The board placed the total valuation of these corporation hold- ings at $4,246,199, while on the admission of the owners the value of the properties is not under $87,987,000. Hven this is but two-thirds of the real valuation. The aggregate assessment of St. Louis real estate was placed by the board at $291,- 020. Mr. McCann asserts that it should have been $500,009,000. The loss in taxation incident to this discrepancy is $500,000 to the State, $2,800,000 to the city and $800,000 to the School Board. As no appeal is allowed by law from the proceedings of the assessors, the relator prays the court to issue a writ of certiorari directed to respondents in their official ca- pacity, requiring them to certify to the court a true and complete copy of all their acts and proceedings by Feb. 1, 1896, that the court may adjudicate on them, In a memoranda filed with the tition, Mr. MeCann shows by numerous Supreme Court decistons where the acts of Boards of Assessors have been set aside because of illegality. | FOR PUBLIC BATH HOUSES.

LOUIS DEMOCRATS GOING IN FOR REORGANIZATION, THE PRECINCT PLAN POPULAR —_-_ —- = rer Even Those Members of the Party Who Disapprove Are Willing to Acquiesce. Now that the State Democratic Committee has adopted a precinct plan of reorganiza- tion for the Democracy of St. Louis, the party leaders and ward bosses, with few exceptions, are disposed to bury their ob- jections and prepare for a winning fight in the spring campaign. It is generally be- lieved that the precinct plan will revivify the party, because it will allow the people to have a voice in party management by direct vote at the primaries. Anyhow, the leaders show a disposition to “buckle on the armor,’’ as a precinct politician would say, and enter the fight in the spring with more confidence than’if the old City Committee alone had been™Meft in control. Chairman San’ B, Cook, W. R. Painter, Tom B. Love, Thomas E. Barrett and T. J. Ward, as a sub-committee of the State Com- mittee, had a difficult problem to solve in adopting a precinct plan that would meet with general approval. Prominent Demo- crats appeared before the sub-committee and suggested dozens of precinct plans, It was plain that the vast majority of the rank and file even demanded a reorganiza- tion on a precinct plan. They did not hesi- tate to call a spade a spade when denounc- ing the old City Committee for its incom- petency and inefficiency, and declared that no improvement in the conditions could be expeated under the old system. The reigning powers in the old City Committee saw the signs, and gracefully submitted to the inevitable. Tom Barrett carries away the honors in the aoption of the new reorganization plan. The State Committeemen adopted Mr. Bar- rett’s plan with the minor exception that in- stead of seven members-at-large nine such members of the City Committee will here- after be elected by the city nominating con- vention. Mr. Barrett in an interview with a Post- Dispatch man three weeks ago, proposed a plan whereby the people would elect one precinct committeeman in each precinct, the precinct committeemen of a ward to select two ward members of the central body, and the city nominating convention to elect seven members-at-large of the central body. Mr. Barrett advocated such a plan three or four years ago, however. The nine members-at-large selected by Chairman Cook and his committee are rep- resentative Democrats of high stamding, and their names at the head of the City Execu- tive Committee will, it is said, inspire the rank and file of the party to renew the enthusiasm known in the days when St. Louis always went Democratic. The newly-constituted City Executive Committee of sixty-five will meet at the Planters’ Hotel at 10 a. m. next Friday to organize by electing a Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. Much speculation as to the Chairman is being indulged in by the poli- ticlans. It is the general belief that one of the nine members-at-large will be se- lected for this place. Col. M. C. Wetmore is talked of, and some of the old City Com- mitteemen favor Col. Ed Devoy. It is remarked, however, that there is plenty of available material for Chairman, not only among the gilt-edged nine, but among the new ward members appointed by Chairman Cook’s committee. Only a few of the rank and file are now offering objections to the retention of the old City Committee as a part of the man- agement for the spring campaign. Their ob- jections are met with the argument that the thirty-seven ney. committeemen will con- trol the newly-forstituted City Committee, and that the thirty-seven will even have the support of eight or ten old committee- men in the event of a division. Another important question is in regard to the authority assumed by the State Committee in settling the difficulties here, Some claim that the State Committee es- tablished the precedent that it_has the power to step in and disband the City Com. mittee. However, no such precedent has been established, and perhaps the _ best roof of this assertion is that the old City mmittee was retained as @ part of the enlarged City Committee. It has leaked out that an Interesting dis- cussion as to the powers of the State Com- mittee took place in the executive session of Chairman Cook’s sub-committee and the sub-committee of the old City Committee A. C. Maroney, Chairman; Fe. lihan and Robert Fox composed the sub- committee of the City Committee. Chair. — THE BUSIEST SHOE STORE IN ST. LOUIS Ideal Skating Shoes.

Being an attorney, he presented a legal argument to prove that the State Commit- tee had no er or right to come here and attempt to disband a City Committee which = been regularly selected according to aw. He said further that the O’Neil-O’ Malley case was not a parallel one to the conditions ghere, and therefore the Supreme Court de- cision in that case could not apply. Mr. Maroney even made the emphatic statement that the City Committee denied the right of the State Committee to disband the City Committee, He argued that the old National Democratic Committee looked upon the ac- tion of the Pertle Springs Convention in enlarging the Missour! State Democratic Committee as pure heresy, but that the Na- tional Committee did not assume the right to step in and disband the State Commit- tee. “If the State Committee has the right to come here and disband this City Committee, why would the National Committee not have the superior right to disband the State Com- mittee?’* said Mr. Maroney. However, Mr. Maroney told Chairman Cook’s committee that the old City Commit- tee had agreed to lay all the local difficulties before the State Committee and the latter could act as an arbitrator in the settle- ment. Whatever plan the State Committee adopted the City Committee would indorse “provided it is fair and reasonable to all parties concerned.” This phrase, it is generally believed, was a diplomatic hint that the City Committee would refuse to abdicate if the State Com- mittee proposed any plan which deposed it. The City Committee, however, was long- ing for peace and harmony, and, the fact is, it gave Chairman Cook to understand that it would agree to any plan which did not depose the old committeemen and there- by cast odium upon them, There are sev- eral efficient workers among the old City Committeemen, and they argued that it would -be unjust to depose them on ac- count of the shortcomings of a few. After all, as the old City Committee is retained and simply enlarged by the State Committee, it is generally conceded that the State Committee has not established a precedent that it has the right to disband @ regular City Committee. The Investigating Committee which looked ‘into the affairs of the City Com- mittee is still the subject of gossip. It is noticed that only one of its members was selected to serve on the enlarged city com- mittee, and he ts Charles D. McClure. Mr. McClure receives the honor of being ap- pointed a member at large. ‘Attorney Frank K. Ryan, who wrote the majority report of the Investigating Com- mittee, not only saw his report thrown even appointed as a ward member of the new city committee. Attorney John A. Blevins, who wrote the minority report, which set forth the evli- dence in regard to Chairman Hugh J. Brady, of the City Committee, has the satisfaction of seeing Brady resign, and also of seeing many features of his report adopted in the precinct plan of reorganization. WORKINGMEN’S BRYAN CLUB. Organizing for the Spring Campaayn on the Block System. The Workingmen’s Bryan Club has ex- tended its precinct plan of organization to the “‘block system,’’ committeemen being appointed for each block to make a house- to-house canvass of the status of voters in every block in the city. The Twenty-sixth Ward branch of the Workingmen’s Bryan Club will hold a mass meeting Monday night at Buehler’s Hall, corner Taylor and Easton avenues, The Polish branch of the Workingmen’s Bryan Club will meet at St. Louls Hall, corner Broadway and Biddle street, Monday night, when reports wilil be received from its executive committee on organization, this branch having formed affiliated “‘sect'ons’’ of Polish voters in the north end, south end and in Carondelet, and now claims a total] voting membership of over 4,000.

END OF AYOUTHFUL ROMANCE Although Four Years His Senior, He Learned to Love Her in His Mother’s Home. John D. Perry Lewis left the city a week ago a bachelor. Monday morning he returned with a wife. His wedding to Miss Sallie BE. Turner came as a surprise to his friends and cre- ated no end of excitement in ultra-fashion- able circles. Mr. Lewis and Miss Turner were wedded in Louisville last Tuesday. The trip to Louisville was made necessary by the fact that the bride gpd groom first cousins. The laws of Missouri prohibit such mar riages. Less than a dozen persons knew that the ceremony was to take place and but few more were even aware of an engagement. Last Monday Mr. Lewis and his bride-to- be, accampanied by his two brothers and two members of the young lady’s family, made the trip to the Kentucky city. There they were met by Lemoine Summerville, an old schoolmate of Mr. Lewis. The party took rooms at the Galt House. The next day there was a quiet wedding at the Episcope! Cathedral, v. Dr. Craik, dean, officiating. Mr. Lewis and his bride tmmediately de- parted for New York, where they remained until two days ago. For a short time the couple will live at the Grand Avenue Hotel. After that they will go to housekeeping on Morgan street, near Mr. Lewis’ mother’s home. The bride is a daughter of William Tur- ner of Glasgow, Howard County, Mo. Her marriage to Mr. Lewis is the end of a little romance. Mise Turner lived for many years with her aunt, Mrs. William Lewis, Perry Lewis’ mother, at 3014 Morgan street. : t a then that the two young people fell n iove, ae Lewis is some four years younger than s wife. This fact and their blood relationship dis- armed the gossips. Their attentions to each other were looked upon as quite natural. No one suspected them of matrimonial inten- tions towards each other. Perry Lewis is well known as an inventor. A little over a year ago he patented a horseless carriage that has since proven successful, and has made a name for its in- pg in Europe as well as in this coun- Mr. Lewis spends a t deal of his time perfecting th's and other electrical devices.
