There is a strong undercurrent of feeling that the Democratic As well as the Republican party lacks the courage of its convictions and right on the eve of the battle is hesitating as to what mottoes its A Philanthropist Who a Criminal Judge Thinks Should Be Tu- dicted for Perjury.

The Cubans feigned a retreat and drew the volunteers into an ambush on the sides of the road, from which they delivered a terrible fire.

The loss of the volunteers was over fift men wounded, killed and missing, while half the force returned to Havana unarmed. The Spanish officials have ordered all officers of the corps to be tried on courtmaftial for cowardice, statements regarding his qualifications. Charles Foster, Jr., says he is a martyr.

* * vs . ‘ol r 8 3 5 me ö 5 1 * * 8 7 : THE TREATMENT THAT CURES. Doctor Copeland’s new treatment that has lifted the darkness and blight of the word “incurable” from hundreds of thousands of these cases of Catarrh in the Ears, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs, works its curative action for two reasons: (1) It reaches every sore spot, from the orifice of the nose to the deepest part of the lungs, to the innermost recesses of the middle ear. (2) Instead of irritating, inflaming and feeding the fires of the disease, it scothes, quiets, heals and cures. What is the treatment that cures these conditions, once regarded as incurable? By what process does it restore the diseased membrane, remove the poison and relieve the soreness of disease? Let the experience of persons cured and being cured tell. HOW IT CURES COMMON CATARRH. Here is a patient taking treatment for Catarrh of the Head. He breathes the soothing medication through his nostrils and the nasal channels open up, the stuffed-up feeling in the head leaves and he can breathe naturally through the nose again. The dull pains across the front of the head fade away and the nasal membrane is soothed until the inflammation and sore- ness are all gone. The bad odor of the breath passes away and the lost sense of smell returns. The dropping in the throat is checked, the nose does not st up toward night any more, the sneezing and snuffing have ceased and the dicharge from the nose grows less and less, and finally stops altogether. The disease has been checked and eradicated from the system before it ever reached his throat. It has not been driven down into his throat or into his lungs or into his ears, as is so often done by other treatments. HOW IT CURES CATARRH IN THE THROAT. Here is another patient who had Ca- tarrh of the Head. He caught cold after cold and the disease spread down into his throat. He breathes and drinks in the dis- ease-banishing medication. It bathes the membranes of the head and throat. The soreness of the head and throat becomes less and the desire to hawk and spit is dis- appearing, the sense of taste is returning and the voice again becomes soft and melo- dious. There is no more gagging and vom- iting in the morning. No longer does every exposure to the weather result in a stuffed- up throat that becomes sore and inflamed, and no longer does he find his throat and tongue dry as chips when he wakes from an unrefreshing sleep. HOW IT CURES CATARRH OF VOCAL CORDS. Here is another patient who con- tracted Catarrh that extended from the throat into the glotis, the gateway that opens to the windpipe and lungs. The dis- ease attacks the vocal cords, this sensitive instrument of the human voice, and soon mars its sweet tones or destroys them alto- gether. Here sits a lady inhaling the sooth- ing preparation. She had been ten months silent, and the treatment has already re- stor her voice. she feels in being restored to the usefulness and the pleasure of conversation? HOW IT CURES CATARRHAL DEAFNESS. Here is another patient who for years has been a sufferer. Every fresh cold seemed to stay longer than former colds, and he noticed that his ears got stopped up and his hearing became duller and duller, and there were ringing and buz- zing noises in the ears. The Catarrh had passed upward and backward from the throat along the Eustachian tube leading from the throat into the ear. He had visited thraat déctons and ear doctors and Catarrh doctors without relief. In this condition we find him ony | the never- failing medication, and soon he notices a change. The noises in the ear stop, there is no more discharge, the hearing gets better, and finally the tubes of the ear open up and something seems to give way in his head. His hearing hes completely returned. No wonder he considers the re- sult a marvel. HOW IT CURES BRONCHIAL CATARRH. Here is another patient who was always sensitive to the weather. He contracted Catarrh of the Head and it passed to his throat, then down the wind- pipe and into the bronchial tubes. He coughed at night so that he could not sleep; there was pain behind his breast- bone and under the shoulder blades. When he coughed he brought up a frothy, grayish — streaked with blood. He lost ap- petite and strength. He tried cough sy- rups and different medicines to no avail. He now breathes in with full inspirations the restoring and soothing medicine. The sore spots along the brpnchial tubes heal, the cough ceases, the in leaves. The appetite and strength return. He is again a well and happy man. HOW IT CURES CATARRH OF THE LUNGS. Here is another pitiful case. He had all the history of colds and catarrh, ex- tending downward from the nose to the throat, to glottis, to windpipe, to the bronchial tubes and then into the small tubes of the lungs. . His cough always troubled him. He raised large quantities Who can say what joy FROM THEIR AUTHOR.

Hosts of people suffer from the various malignant poisons in their blood, which produce or result from catarrh. Many persons suffer from nervous diseases, | diseases, I diseases and skin diseases, as the result of irritating crystal poisons in the blood. A m ty of such do not have a definite und nature of their affliction. symptoms have been arra land to enable sufferers to understand what it is that alls them. Although writ- ten and copyrigntes by him, they have been extensively copied by other concerns without his authority. The proper course for sufferers is this: Read these symptoms carefully over, mark those that apply to — case, and bring this with you to Dr. Copeland. If you live away from the city, send them by mail and ask for mall treatment. In either instance, and whether by mail or office treatment, the patient may be assured of the speediesat ee and cure possible to enlightened med- CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.

The Missouri Assembly has not yet passed any blue laws, but the House has adopted a bill which would, if enacted, be a blue law of the deepest dye. Blue laws, be it remarked, are laws calculated to retard the development of the race, as they prohibit harmless recreation, curtail personal liberty, and generally tend to make people miserable. Representative Truitt’s bill, which proposes not only to put a stop to baseball and card playing, but “any kind of game” on Sunday, is certainly a blue law that the city folk will never submit to. | Probably the reason the House adopted this bill was because a majority of the members are from the country. It is per- haps natural for them to believe that the only true Sabbath is one in which every man, woman and child rests from muscu- lar exertion of any kind. Frank R. Stock- ton, the well known author, who,is a man of religious instincts, makes some. pointed remarks as to the need of a Sab- bath for brain workers. Mr. Stockton gays, among other things: The brain-worker cannot listen to a ser- mon with his legs, join in the services of the churches with his arms, nor carry on improving conversation with the muscles of his back. For these he must use the game weary brain with which he has toiled through the week. What he needs to do is what the laboring man does all the week. He wants physical exercise, and he wants to take it freely and cheerfully, with a clear conscience jn the sight of all the world. The 39th General Assembly, it was hoped, came into existence for the pur- pose of passing laws that would benefit the whole people. It is evident that a blue law that discriminates against the city brain worker would not be in keeping with the record the Assembly desires to make. It can use ita time to better ad- vantage than in discussing such meas- ures. . rs a —— TRAITORS AS LEADERS. The New York Cemmercial Advertiser and other Republican and gold standard newspapers are urging the bolters and assistant Republicans, who made their names a hissing and a reproach in the last campaign, to “smatch their party from the mire of Socialism,” and save the historic Democracy from chaos, disin- - tegration and destruction.“ The Commercial Advertiser is disgust- ingly hypocritical in this appeal. How- ever much in earnest some gold standard newspapers that were formerly Demo- cratic may be in wishing well to the Dem- octaiic party, the Commercial Advertiser cannot be sincere in its-appeal. It has for years been the most rabid and ven- omous enemy of the Democratic party of any Eastern newspaper. And its appeal | the “Southern planters” just now, to rescue Democracy from ruin, is partieu- larly shameless. If there is any insult the - Commercial Advertiser has failed to heap upon the South and Southern gentlemen, the failure was not because of lack of. > “persistent effort in that line. The appeal of these organs of Plutoc-. racy is childish and ridiculous. The rank and file of the Democracy piled up 6,000,- 000 votes as a protest against the prin- eipies these bolters. subscribed to. And will the Democracy tamely accept these _ traitors once more as leaders? Are they to turn back and save it? Whose camp Are they still in? Whose uniform do they ail wear? the Post-Dispatch has said before, will never be received back into the 4 7 except as penitents.

Not a small part of the enormous profits of brewers have in the past grown out of their systematic work of establishing a saloon at the beginning of the license term, running it to the end of the term without license payment, and then re- newing the license, still without payment, for another term and under another name. If there is a politician who imagines that there is any public. sentiment in favor of such courses he is woefully mis- taken. Prohibition being out of the ques- tion, taxpayers license saloons not for love, but for revenue. They are entitled to the revenue, and the liquor dealer who pays the revenue is entitled to the pro- tection against dishonest competition, for which he pays. mZü— —— — — THE DANGEROUS PEERS BILL. The Joint Committee of the Senate and House have agreed to report favorably the bill of Senator Peers authorizing municipalities to tax themselves for t erection of militia armories, headquarters, etc, The moving cause of this decision ap- pears to have been an address by Capt. Roach of the Seventeenth United States Infantry detailed in charge of the Mis- souri Division of the National Guard. Capt. Roach said: During the last few years the whole sys- tem of drill regulations, as well as the arma- ment of troops, has been changed. Any- thing approaching what might be termed a perfect soldier, such as is found in most of the armies of Europe to-day, could only be turned out after months of rigid disc’pline and instruction in camps formed for that purpose. I would make service in the Na- tional Guard so alluring as to entice all young men into at least one term with the colors of their reg ment. You can accom- plish all this by giving us proper laws by which the organizations and the necessary discipline and instruction may be imparted and ma ntained. Statistics recently compiled show that there are over 10,000,000 men in this coun- try available for military service. But our isolation makes it unnecessary for us to maintain standing armies, which Euro- pean countries, with hostile borders, find a necessity of self-preservation. The proposition to increase militia armaments in Missouri is one to increase taxes for the purpose of creating a strong police power for the defense of corporation wealth, At the present time the proposition is to tax municipalities because it is well understood that any proposition to tax the State would be defeated. But if mu- nicipalities such as St. Louis and: Kansas City should assume this tax it would be but a few years naturally and properly until their combined representation in the Assembly would be demanding the trans- fer of the cost of maintaining State troops to the State treasury. The Peers bill is full of danger. ‘ai. ECKELS ON BISMARCK. Cleveland’s young Mr. Eckels is the iconoclast of this iconoclastic age. When Mr. Eckels takes his axe in hand, and lays it at the root of our traditions and venerations, there is thunder in the for- ests where giant oaks are falling. Every stroke counts. The trees in whose broad shadows we have loved to linger go down before the onslaught. The other day Mr. Eckels told the House Committee on Banking and Currency that the statesmen of the war period had made a mistake in issuing greenbacks. The Judges of the Supreme Court, too, were wrong in declaring the constitution- ality of such an issue. The day following this startling an- nouncement Mr. Eekels declared, in answer toa question by Mr. Newlands of Nevada, that the great reputation df Bis- marck had never been justly earned, Mr. Newlands had asked Mr. Hckels if it is not true, as said by Bismarck, that the gold blanket is not large enough to cover the whole world. “I do not think so,“ gaid Mr. Eckels, ‘‘and Bismarck has never been such a financier as some other statésmen of prominence.”’ As Eckels, for instance? Bismarck’s policies have made an imperial Germany, mot only politically, but commercially. The impulse to German foreign trade which began with Bismarck continues under the policies he originated and the administrative systems he organized. Bis- marck himself says his greatest mistake was the acceptance of the English policy of gold monometallism, but that policy, we know, was in large measure forced upon Germany, by silver demonetization by the United States. We demonetized silver in February, 1873. Germany went to the single gold basis in the following July. Mr. Eckels’ term as Comptroller does not expire until late in 1898. Mr. MgKin- ley will have for nearly half his term the counsel of a man who can steer him clear of the breakers on which the Lincolns and Bismarcks of history have wrecked the ships of state. ‘ — 2 — — The Chicago Record thinks the number i pf Chicago Aldermen should be reduced and that the galary of an Alderman should be $5,000 a year. No doubt tax- payers in all our large cities would be glad to pay large salaries if they could be reasonably sure of getting careful, ener- Betic, honest service. . Though im the sudden call for winter benevolence many impostors have been fed, this evil ls counterbalanced by the fa¢t that many human hearts have been opened to generous deeds and have brightened the record which is to give peace to human souls in the life beyond the tomb. Whatever | may 3 the he subjects of con- versation at the McKinley Cabinet meet- ings, it is scarcely Hkely that Mr. Sher- man or Gen, Alger will ever go back to the incidents of the Republican National Convention of tees.

From the Alton (III.) Telegraph. Rev. Dr. Boyd of St. Louis, sometimes “Parkhurst” of that city, de- livered an address there last night in which he spoke of Mayor Walbridge as follows: “Our Mayor, a man whom I love very much, a man whom I respect very much, and who is a good man, made some of the worst appointments possible outside of hell!“ There must be something wrong with the Mayor whom Dr. Boyd loves“ or with the ‘love’ Dr. Boyd gives to the Mayor, or the Doctor is fond of sensational statements, When a preacher loves a Mayor, some of whose appointments are worst possible outside of hell, either the love“ or its object is away off. _ — Paying Experiment. From the Indianapolis Journal. „Female motormen?’ said the president of the street railway company. “It has turned out to be the best thing ever at- tempted.

MEN OF MARK. Gov. Turney of Tennessee pardoned 820 convicts during his term of office. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the young negro writer of verse, who lives in Dayton, O., is to have parlor readings in England during the coming summer. Zola has recently declared that Max Nor- dau, the author of ‘‘Degeneration,” is noth- ing more than a “literary dustman,“ who has swept into his basket all the absurdities and lies which are floating about concerning prominent men. John Maeuck, a pioneer of Washington, who cast his first vote for Jackson, died on the day before Christmas at Oakdale, in that State, at the age of 93, and left directions ‘that his body be wrapped in a winding sheet and put in a plain pine coffin, as had been the usual way in his early life. George Meredith’s books do not in the least suggest his own personality. He is a very lucid, pointed, and witty talker. In height he is about 5 feet 8, of slender, grace- ful figure, and has a gentle, blue-eyed face, with pointed beard and gray hair parted in the middle and falling in a fringe over his forehead. Archduke Francis Ferdinand is one of the crack shots of Europe. He prefers to shoot with smokeless powder, and handles his weapon very rapidly and with an ex- tremely accurate aim, The Austrian heir presumptive is gecently credited with hav- ing killed over 480 head of game in an hour and a half. To perform this feat he kept three loaders constantly employed. WOMEN OF NOTE. Miss Anne Whitney, the sculptor, has given twelve acres of land on the Andros- coggin River, Maine, to the Appalachian Club. „ A female highwayman, described as “of herculean proportions, and of extraordinary bravado,’’ is Molding the roads between Brussels and Antwerp, and attacking sol- tary houses, Miss Frances E. Willard has had a me- morial tablet placed in the old church at Horsmonden, Kent, England, in honor of her ancestor, Simon Willard, who founded, in 1636, the town of Concord, Mass. The criticism; is made in New England that the illustrations of Mary Wilkins’ new novel, Jerome,“ do not fit the text or the scenes of the story. The Boston Transcript says that the pictures are essentially En- glish, that the house in which Jerome’s mother lives is really an English cottage, and that the doorway of the doctor’s house as portrayed did not exist in New England fifty years ago. Miss Edith I, Brown of Boston whose pic- ture, Sabrina,“ exhibited in last year’s Salon, was recently reproduced in the pages of Harper’s Bazar, is a singularly gifted young American woman, of whom those fa- miliar with her progress expect great things. She is still in the early twenties, and her present attainment is the more remark- able because for years she has struggled against severe physical disabilities which for a long time precluded all idea of aca- demic study.

The Roman singer pictured last night is not capable of the susta ned effort, that was possible to the Russian. woman seen the evening before, It might even be doubted that her love for Marie would have endured beyond two seasons. It can hardly be questioned that she would have yielded to Scarpia had not the knife lain close to her hand. Had she done so there could have been no play, so Sardou provided the liberat. ing s{eel. Miss Davenport is marvelously effective in La Tosca.“ She makes more of the torture scene than Bernhardt does, and is more realistic. The audience at the Olympic last evening held its breath and sat in a silence that was actually painful as she shuffled on her knees to the door of the room where her lover was being racked; and when she made the involuntary, but—to a woman of her composition—inevitable con- fession, there was a@ great sigh of relief. Again, when she slays Scarpia the audi- ence was keyed up to painful pitch. But Miss Davenport does not get the bulk of the honors in this scene.- Scarpia is a stronger character than Floria, and Mr. MacDowell interprets it in masterly fashion, He was natural and effective in every de- tail. Mr. Elwood was a satisfactory Mario, and all the other roles were well taken care of. “Gismonda” is the bill to-night. — 0 —— On next Monday, Feb. 8, at Bollman Bros., 1100 Olive street, the sale of season seats for the Damrosch opera company will begin. The repertoire will include four German and two French operas, and the list of ar- tists is exceedingly strong. Among them may be mentioned Lilli Lehmann, Paul Kalisch, Ernest Krauss, Emil Fischer, Susan Strong, Johanna Gadski, and for the per- formance of Carmen' in French the su- perb Calve, by special arrangement with Schoeffe] & Grau. The excellence of the chorus and orchestra, under Mr. Dam- rosch's own direction, are well known. The occasion promises to be a socia’ as well as a musical success, as the names of the best people of our city are to be found in the list of guarantors and among the subscribers. HONEYMOON. i i L I 1 alli 1 2 * I W ee OVERALLS A BAR. A Man Who Wears Them Cannot.Enter the Metropolitan Museum. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Overalls are a bar to admission at *he Metropolitan Museum of Art in Central Park, for the maintenance of which the city pays nearly $100,000 a year, You may wear the dress of the Chinaman or the Turk, or a bicycle sult with sweater, but if you be a workingman in overalls, clean or dirty, you cannot ener. That was the decision of the custodian when he refused admission to a plumber at work in Fifth avenue, who asked to look at the pictures during his dinner hour.

LETTER FROM MARK TWAIN. Writes Cheerfully and Says Nothing of Financial Trouble. KEOKUK, Io., Feb. 3.—Orion Clemens, a brother of Mark Twain, has received a let- ter from the noted humorist, who is tempo- rarily sojourning at London, England, writ- ten in a most cheerful and encouraging style. The letter, while largely of a per- sonal nature, and which Mr. Clemens re- fuses to make public, does not even hint at anything like the desperate straits and deep financial embarrassments mentioned in re- cent cablegrams from the English capital. On the contrary, Mark Twain wrote hope- fully of the future and of his family affairs. The brother says that Mark has been very much depressed and exceedingly low spir- ited since the death of a favorite daughter and his moroseness, —— from grief, he thinks, has probably given rise to the sto- ries sent out about his personal and finan- cial condition.

Board of Commissioners Make a Grat- ifying Report on Their Work of the Year. The Board of Commissioners of Tower \Grove Park have sent their annual report ent in the Pearl 10 to the Municipal Assembly. The receipts fromm the city maintenance fund, rents and interest, and coupons, were $29,319.79. The total expenditures were $29,673.91. Of this, $17,500.95 went as wages to foremen, drivers, gate keepers and laborers, including extra labor caused by the storm. Salaries amount- ed to $1,200. Sunday concerts cost $1,848.65, apd a new plant house was erected at a cost of $3,000. t cost $27.35 to kill rats, moles, etc. , The park is reported to be in as good con- dition as at any previous time. The tor- nado damage is referred to, and it is urged that the mouth of the sewer in Grand avenue, opposite the east gate, be enlarged. On account of the exceptional fury of the wind the storm did not furnish any useful data as to the strength of different kinds of shade and decorative trees to re- sist its force. The board donated 1,500 deciduous and evergieen trees to Lafayette Park, which are being transplanted as fast as possible. The greater need for direct access to the park created by the rapid settling of the territory southward led to the opening of a new pedestrian entrance from the intersec- tion of Oak Hill avenue and Arsenal street, connecting with a walk across the park to the entrance opposite the terminus of the Lindell Line, e walk is 1,260 feet long. With the increased room provided by the erection of a new plant house, the beauty and interest of the park in this department will be added to during the coming sea- son. The vicinity. of the music pavilion has been chosen for the principal flower dis- lay, because it attracts the greatest num- er of visitors and is adjacent to the small lake and ruins. n working to cover up the effects of the tornado and in the replanting necessary, the superintendent has taken advantage of every opportunity to open up new vistas and create varied views. The visitors to the park will be surprised by the charming changes in the landscape. The success achieved by the superintend- rowing of Victoria Regla and other lilles has been exceptional. Owing to the tearing up of the lawn caused by the blowing down of trees sev- eral thousand acres of new sod have have been laid and large areas re-seeded. About 6,000 one-year-old trees have been added to the nursery, with a view of keeping up the * V for park uses. : he system of labeling trees, showing the common as well as the botanical name of each, commenced two years ago, has been continued and extended to decorated shrub- bery and plants. The need of sewer facilities south of the px alluded to, and aetion by the city . e 5 he increase of population in the vicinity and greater street car facilities have led to an immense increase in the number of visit- ors on Sundays and evenings during the |. week, and new difficulties are being ex- perienced in preventing offenses against order and decency. A regular police mee during the sum- mer months is asked for to co-operate with the private watchmen. During the coming season the gates will be left open in the 1. 2 for the convenience of people out ng. The "hese is expressed that the principal roadways and points of interest will be lighted by electricity. If this is done night concerts will occasionally given. Preliminary gurvers for a larger lake have been made. he desirability of in- cluding the 200-foot strip on the south of the park is urged, and the Board expresses its readiness to improve the ground with- out cost to the city.

SPIDERS AND REDS COME TO NO UNDERSTANDING. VON DER AHE IN CLEVELAND. Is in Secret Conference With Robison, Who Repeats That He May Sell Out. — Be if: base ball fans are still on the tiptoe of ex- pectancy over the pro- posed deals and transfer of whole clubs. At least one myster- tous conference of mag- nates is over and as far as Cincinnati is con- cerned the Cleveland team will remain intact. De Haas Robison of the Cleveland team is back home after a protracted interview with Presiden? Brush Cincinnati. Both magnates deny that there was any deal on foot and say that the conference was over telegraph rates and railroad fares in connection with the clubs’ foreign games. To the question, Did you make any deal with the Cincinnati Club for players?“ put to him just as he was leaving for home, Robison replied: No. he only player we were adter was Dusty Miller. would have made a bi offer for his release, but President Brus said it was no use, as he would not entertain it. ‘I could no more release Miller than the Cleveland Club could afford to release Cy Young, George Tebeau or George * Dy,“ was the way President Brush put it, and that ended the discussion.” e reference to Young, Tebeau and Cuppy would indicate that Von der Ahe’s effort to secure those pay ere will prove fruitless. Robison returned home in a hurry when he heard Von der Ahe was in Cleveland. Be- fore going he confirmed the report that if the Cleveland lub was not permitted to play Sunday ball he would be tempted to sell ou At present Von der Ahe and Robison are in secret session at Cleveland. Whatever sensational movement takes place in base ball it is almost sure that the Cleveland club will figureinit. As there must be two clubs to make a deal, St. Louts also looks to be in it, as the Cincinnatis have given up any idea of making changes. me- thing may or may not come of the secret conferences that are being held in different parts of the League circuit, but whatever occurs Cleveland and St. Louis will be in the midst of It. Robison and Von der Ahe are hustlers. Neither is holding these little confabs for nothing. Secretary Muckenfuss said Wednesday that he had heard rothing from Von der Ahe since his arrival in Clevelend. He ex- pects him back Saturday morning. ST. LOUISAN LEADS.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 3.—The Sunday base ball agitation was renewed in the House this morning, and after a lengthy and spirited wrangle, the House, by a vote of 77 to 52, declined to reconsider the vote of yesterday, by which the Sunday base ball bill was passed. This leaves the bill in force so far as the House is concerned, and it remains to be seen what will be done when the bill reaches the Senate. Numerous speeches both for and against were made, and at times the argument — gy as warm as July sun shining on a ball park. N Representative Burroughs led the — ment in favor of the bill. He was seconded by Representatives Tandy, O’Falion and others, Against the bill and in favor of the motion to reconsider were Representatives Whitecotton, Spofford, Dunn, Marin and others. The discussion came up directly upon the pending motion of Representative Johnson of St. Louis asking for a reconsideration of the vote by which ‘the bill was passed. Representative Burroughs, author of the Sunday bill, moved to table the motion for reconsideration. A vote on this motion pre- valled and the matter was settled against — sport, so far as the House is con- cerned. ROGERS WILL RACE. Wants to Meet Any Man Except Gau- daur.

A peculiar letter came to the City Jail Wednesday morning addresged to Arthur Duestrow. It brought back memories of Noble Shepard and his escape. The letter was tendered to the condemned murderer by Deputy Jailer Wagner, but Duestrow re- fused to receive it. He has accepted no mall addressed to Duestrow for several weeks. The letter Wednesday morning aroused Jailer Wagner's suspicions, but he could only deliver the letter as directed. The envelope was a lo and narrow one, and made of exceptionally heavy paper. The stamp was on the upper left hand corner, and the post-mark of the place where it was mailed does not appear. On the back of the envelope is the pic- ture of a padlock, and an insoription over the picture reads: y e key is inside.“ Jailer Wagner eyed the letter with suspi- cion, but he did not dare to open it to see what it contained. The 2-cent pos — stamp on the envelope makes it unla 1 for any one to open it saxe the party to whom addressed. Jailer Wagner sent the letter back to the Post Office, and was glad — oe rid of the suggestive legend on the ack. ROBBED A DEPUTY SHERIFF. Detective Killian Makes a Case Against Frank Crosby.

DEVELOPMENTS IN OTHERS. Shooting Affray Investigated, Youth- ful Drunkard Fined, and Other Matters of Passing Interest. The mills of the gods grind slow, but that of Judge Peabody in the First Police District grinds exceeding fast. The Judge takes his seat, the Marshal cries Tor order and then a whole lot of cases on the docket vanish as if by magic. It has all been arranged before court opened, the cases have been tried out-of court, and there is nothing more to be done. All this is over in less than five minutes. Then the ‘“‘confined docket’ is called. The “osonfined docket'“ means all those poor devils who have not the price of a bond in their pockets. Robert Mitchell and James Burns were charged Wednesday with disturbing each other's peace 9 at each other and ng concealed weapons. Burns had a bullet in his shoulder when arrested at 1616 South Seventh street, and fitchell had put it there after Burns had shot at him. Both men were found with pistols in their possession. Strange to say when they before Judge Peabody they were ess and innocent of all wrong. Neither of them had a gun and had never done a thing. Burns toon the stand. I got informa- tion,” said he, “that Mitchell was la ing for me with a gun. He'd been knocking and he had his hand in his overcoat I saw him and we both shot together. I had to do it, Your Honor, because my life was in danger. I'm a peateable citizen and live with my mother and work for the Compress Company.” Jim Mitchell’s friend said that he was too excited to know what happened. “They ust went to shooting,“ was all he could ell. Mr. Blaine gave Mr. Mitchell the highest indorsement as a gentleman of most peaceable disposition. “What did you do after the shots were fired?’ asked Mr. Clover. ran, of course,” said the witness. Proceedings were interrupted for a mo- ment while the Marshal went out and took @ punch at an unruly 8 itchell told a touching story of his be- Burns and shot at without provocation. e shot only to defend him- self, but not to kill. His sensitive disposi- tion shrank from bloodshed and murder, and it was with the greatest regret and re- pugnance that he shot at Burns. He de- plored the circumstances as they occurred, and sincerely hoped they would never arise again. udge Peabody said: Gentlemen, you had a right to defend yourselves, but you had no right to go hunting for each other. One was fined 225 and the other $10. Henry Peske, who wears k sweater Uke Corbeti's and combs his hair pompadour, was arrested for making a punching bag out of a small German boy named Herman, who lives at 2359 South Broadway., Peske is about 15 while his victim is not over 12. Herman says Peske met him on the street and told him to get off the earth, and when Herman would not get off Peske hit him in the jaw. The big policeman who arrested Peske said that youngster was drunk. Peske said it was no such thing. The little boy called him vile names and he chased him, but he did not catch him. He wasn’t drunk. He only felt it. He hadn’t had too much. He knew what too much was. He had just enough. Henry’s mother said her boy was od boy and would make a good Drickiayer if the Judge would ‘let him go.

PROPERTY ALREADY UNSAFE. Twice a Year the River Overflows Now Owing to an Insufficient Channel. A protest against the utilization of the River des Peres as an outlet for the Tower Grove storm sewer was filed Wednesday with Chief Santtary Officer Francis of the Health Department by J. Smith, secretary of the Amalgamated Improvement Asso- ciation, representing the members of that organization. Accompanying the protest was a petition asking for the improvement of the present channel of the River des Peres in the district embraced: between Arloe Sta- tion and Ellendale avenue. : Mr. Smith, Chairman of the Investigating Committee of the Improvement Associa- tion declares that at certain times the stream is totally insufficient to carry off the water which naturally drains into it. During the past two years the resultant overfiow has inflicted $5,000 worth of dam- age to the property in the low-lying dis- tricts in the vicinity of Cheltenham, Ellen- dale and Shrewsbury. All that district ly- ing between Ellendale avenue and Ar Station, it is claimed, will be subjected to reat damage by the overflow from the iver des Peres if the present intention of the Health Board to drain the storm. sewer into that stream be carried out. Mr. Smith says the Amalgamated Im- provement Association, which is composed of residents and property owners of Chel- tenham, Ellendale, Clifton Heights, Benton and Shrewsbury, have consulted civil engi. neers on the result of the draining of the storm sewer into the River Des Peres, and that it is the opinion that that stream, un- der present conditions, will be totally inade- quate to the task of carrying off the in- creased volume of water. On the strength of these expert. opinions the protest, signed by 150 business men of the suburbs, has been filed with Mr. Francis. The members of the association are not opposed to the drainage of the storm sewer into the River des Peres, but they desire that this move be deferred until steps can be taken to improve the channel of the stream to an extent that will admit of its receiving this additional volume of water without disastrous results to contiguous property. Besides the protest and petition presented by Mr. Smith there are other similar re- monstrances which are now being circu- lated among the business men and prop- erty owners of Cheltenham, Clifton Heights and other suburbs, which will be presented to the Health Board. THE BURGLAR WAS COOL. Threw His Victims Off the Scent by His Politeness. 4 “I beg your pardon, but does Mrs. Smith live here?“ asked a big negro of May and Rosie Hohner Sunday afternoon in front of their home at 312 Franklin avenue. No; Mrs. Smith does not live here,“ said 3 and the two young ladies went up- stairs to their rooms without suspectin that the negro they had just encounter wae making off with their best clothes, as well as valuable wearing apparel belonging to Olive and Daisy Lundy, residing on the floor below. When the Hohner girls examined their rooms they found that the bureau draw- ers and closets had been rified. A similar condition of affairs existed in the home of the Lundys on the floor below. The burg- lar had forced the door on the second floor, but the door on the first floor was found a jar. In robbing the Lundys he operated suc- cessfully despite the fact that the family was in an adjoining room eating the even- ing meal. @ robbery was not discovered until the Lundy girls wished to don their silk dresses and new fur’capes. They were gone, together. with the valuables. The police were notified and on Tuesday Patrolman Weyrecht ar- rested a negro, who gave the name of John . Robinson. He. was identified by the Hohners as the man whom they had seen running from their house Sunday evening. CONNIE HOUGH’S PRISONER. His Head Was Battered, as Is Often the Case.

Jack Devine, the dude puglist, who cleaned out Delegate Jim Cronin's tough saloon and who has been the star attraction in a dozen other sensational affairs, appeared at the Four Courts Wednesday morning and asked to see Chief Harrigan. Devine had been out all night, in fact sev- eral nights. His eyes were red, his clothes wrinkled and his linen dirty. While waiting for the Chief Devine told his troubles to a Post-Dispatch reporter. He said his common-law wife had left him Dad taken all of his personal property and | his 5-year-old daughter. He is heart-braken, pas, ben the pledge and says he will re- “Five years ago,“ said Devine, I was a member of an operatic company that was making a tour through Australia. My wife was with me. In Melbourne our baby was born and three weeks later my. wife died. “My night name is John Wright and I named the baby Gertrude, after my wife. A few weeks later I met a woman named Etta Grigsby, a member of the best Mel- bourne society. She became infatuated with my stage eppesrance, sought my acquaint- ance and in a month she, the baby and I left Australia for America. We lived in dif- ferent towns in the West for nearly five and in October came to St. Louis, We put Gertrude, who is now 5 years old, in the care of Mrs. Maloney at 1115 Pine street and we rented a room at 1615 Pine street. “T began drinking, and have been drinking since.

Several days ago my common-law wife told me that the next time I went on a spree she would | leave me. “I began drinking Monday night, and did not go home. I kept on drinking Tuesday, and all Tuesday night, and this morning I went home. Etta was not there. Here is the note she left: “ ‘“Good-by, Jack, I’ve gone. BABY.’ “I went down to Mrs. Maloney’s and she told me Etta had called there Tuesday night in a carriage and had taken my little girl away with her. “Etta took all of my clothes, over $200 of money, my other personal property that was in the room and my child that I think more of than anything else on earth. “I think she has taken Gertie to Kansas City, as she often said that she would like to go there.“ Devine wanted Chief Desmond to tele- graph to Kansas City to have the authori- ties there intercept the woman and take the child away from her and hold Gertrude un- til he could come for her. He said he did not care to sce the woman again. Devine says he is heart-broken, that he has taken a solemn vow never to drink again, and that he will start life anew and try not to get sidetracked. MISS CONROY A TIPPLER. She Has Fits Frequently and Makes Things Lively. Nellie Conroy escaped from the Work- house Tuesday. She was picked up uncon- scious on the streets Wednesday morning and was taken to the City Hospital. Nellie is a servant, 24 years old, subject to A fits and addicted to strong drink. er home was wherever she was at work. Two weeks ago she drank more than she could manage and staggered into a house near Fifteenth street and Cass av- enue. She had an epileptic fit and made so much trouble that the police were called on to.remove her. She was locked up and was sent to the Police Court on the charge of trespassing A month’s sentence to the Work-house fol- lowed. Nellie was given special privileges, and was installed as servant to the wife of Supt. Nic Karr. She served in that capa- city for two weeks and then decided she would rather be in solitary confinement than to have to work so hard. She rebelled, but was made to continue her work. Tuesday she determined to escape. She put on her shaw! and bonnet, and told the guard 2 was going on an errand for Mrs. Karr. he was allowed to s. She went but a few blocks until her thirst both- ered her. She tried beer. en she fol- lowed this up with liberal potations of whisky. Wedresday morning a fit of elilepsy came on her, and she fell in the street. The po- lice found her and she was sent to the City Hospital. MRS. KILBER INSANE. Became Unmanageable and Was Taken to the Hospital. Mrs. Jeannette Kilber, wife of F. A. Kil- ber of 4230 Page avenue, became violently insane this morning at her home, and was removed to the City Hospital for observa- tion and treatment. When the two police- men summoned by her husband attempted to induce Mrs. Kilber to accompany them in the ambulance she became violent, and it | required the combined efforts of the officers and ambulance drivers to place her in the} wagon. Her husband, who accompanied |} her to the hospital, was greatly affected by his wife’s affliction. Dr. Sutter examined Mrs. Kilber and found that she was suffering from great mental ro were caused by worry and an aggravated attack of female trouble. . She was very tractable at the hospital. ‘Mr. Kitber was formerly in the decorative business at 1428 Olive street. with Mr. Booth, under the firm name of Booth & Kilber. | The firm went out of business three months FIRED SIX SHOTS.

HIS TEMPTRESS HAD A GUN,| Stella Adams, Who Smokes Opium, Is the Woman Who Did the Work, He Says. Peter Bacciloupa, a clerk living at 2615 Clark avenue, was held up and robbed of a gold watch and a sum of money by a woman in the doorway of the Emmett Hotel, at Eleventh and Chestnut streets, at 10 o’clock Tuesday night. . He reported the robbery to the police, and N Patrolman Finan arrested Stella Adams Wednesday morning on suspicion of having committed the robbery. The watch was recovered in a pawn shop, Where the pro- prietor said Stella Adams had pawned it. Bacciloupa says that he was waiting at the corner of Eleventh and Chestnut for a car on which to go home when he was ac- costed by a woman who came running out. of the entrance to the Emmett Hotel. She told him that a girl had fainted in the thall- way of the hotel and asked him if he would not help take her upstairs. Bacciloupa rushed into the hallway, which was dimly | lighted, and as soon as the folding doors} closed behind them the woman drew a re- volver from the folds of her Skirt and paint ing it at Bacciloupa told him to give her all his momey. He had some silver change and this he handed to the woman. She asked him if that was all he had and when he said was she placed the money in a pocket on the inside of her cape and them proceeded to take his watch and chain. After she had secured that she told him he could go and as she opened the door he walked out. Bacciloupa thinks that he gave her per- haps $4.50 in money. His watch was vaiued at $30. He went immediately to the Four about the robbery. Patrolman Finan and Deiective Smith were sent out on the case. AS a result Stel- la Adams was arrested. She occupies a room in the hotel and has been arrested on numerous other occasions.

Mrs. Rosie Hradsky, a 17-year-old bride, was a happy, trusting girl, working at Lig- gett & Meyers’ tobacco factory three months ago. She went to a ball and met Fred Hradsky. A week later they were — but she meVer missed a day from work. 8 Hradsky is a tailor, but he is too proud to work. He thought his wife’s $6 a week would support them.

December wheat opened strong Wednes- day, but weakened early. The opening, Se, was %c above Tues- day’s close, but the market showed signs of strength. Cables were higher and re- ports of a heavy cash business from out- side points coupled with light local re- ceipts ran the market up as high as “ac. espite the high cables there was not, a heavy demand for American wheat abroad. This caused a slight decline and there was a marked drop When it became e'yident that Chicago would mot respond to St. Louis’ advance. There was little trading in the pit, less interest bene shown in the ma et than for several days. The market eased off to 889%, half a cent above tlhe opening.

QGUARREL WHICH RESULTED IN ED J. MAHON’S DEATH. — = HE WAS AN EX-POLICEMAN. Killed by a Private Watchman Who Interfered to Prevent Him Beat- ing a Tamale Man. Edward J. Mahon, the ex-policeman who Was shot Tuesday night by Private Watch- man August Bethge, died at the City Hos- pital Wednesday morning shortly before 5 o'clock. He never regained consciousness. Accounts as to the circumstances leading up to the shooting are conflicting. On the one side are Bethge and Oscar Mueller, the tamale man with whom Mahon started his trouble, and on the other side is Henry King, A companion of Mahon, who participated in the fight with Mueller before Bethge ap- on the scene. Mahon being dead, is is two to one in favor of the man who shot him, unless the police discover other witnesses.

According to his story, he was busily engaged in persuading passers-by that his tamales were hot—‘red hot’’—when Mahon and King walked up the street. They were both drunk and noisy. Let's have some tamales,“ said Mahon, and he and his companion stopped and en- tered into conversation with the vender, who knew Mahon when the latter was on the police force. “How many do you want?’’ Mueller. “Two bunches,” was the reply. and Muel- ler, wrapping ip his little Mexican deli- cacies, started to place them in the hands of his customers. Suddenly an idea struck him and he stopped. Where's the money for them?” he asked. . “Don't pay him a cent,” angrily answered Mahon to King, who had put his hand_in his pocket for the change. Mueller drew back the proffered tamales. “You. owe me money for three or four bundles now,“ he said., “I let you have them when you were on the force and you never paid me. You can’t have any more.“ Mahon's reply was an oath and a blow. Take the whole box, King,“ he yelled to his eee “and don’t give him a — cent.’ King started to obey. Mueller ran to — his eng bch Again Mahon struck . The blow landed ‘on the back of his t asked head. His hat went flying into the gut- . ter. Just then Bethge ran up.

Board of Managers Objects to It Pass- ing Absolutely Into the Super- intendent’s Hands, The Board of Managers of the House of Refuge has called upon Rev. Dr. W. W. Boyd, President of the Civic Federation, to help oppose the Porter bill in the General Assembly, giving the Superintendent abso- lute control of that institution. The proposed measure provides that the Board of Managers shall merely audit the accounts at the House of Refuge each month and divests them of power to interfere in any way with the internal management of the in- stituticn. The Board of Managers insists that to give absolute power to one man at such an insti- tution would be unwise. It is expected that the matter will be discussed by the board at its regular meer Thursday afternoon. e members lad the facts before Dr. Boyd, with the request that in his public speeches he sapere some of the conditions at the House of Refuge. It is understood that his reply was that he would take the master up provided the ‘board furnished him a wr-t- ten statement of Bristol’s misconduct, prop- erly attested. It is stated thas members of the board are at work on the document and that their representations to Dr. Boyd were among the matters that called forth his startling declaration that some of Mayor Walbridge’s appointments were the worst outside of hell. The members of the Board are deter- ined to defeat the bill introduced by epresentative John A. Porter of St. Louis, if possible. They state that Supt. Bristol is playing into their hands. One of their arguments against the pas- sage of the Porter bill is the exposure last December of the brutal beating given lit- tle Sarah Gannon by Mrs. Lena Blaser, the cook at the House of Refuge. Mrs. Blaser was discharged by the Board of Managers. Last week they learned that Supt. Bristol was about to reinstate her. Afterward Bristol called on each of them, requesting ermission to install Mrs. Blaser as cook 1 6 residence. They refused to sanc- on it. The members of the Board of Managers are George C. Oeters, Frank Paule and Mrs. William Trelease. “It would be unwise to give the super- intendent absolute control, as is proposed by the Porter bill,“ said Mr. Paule to a Post-Dispatch reporter. ‘‘Under the ruling ‘of the courts he has too much power already, since it is almost impossible to remove him. “Several weeks after we removed Mrs. Blaser we learned that she was still at the House of Refuge, being entertained by Bristol at his house at the city’s expense. Last wa@ek he made an effort to have her placed on the pay-roll again; but we stopped that. “A week after we had discharged Mrs. Blaser for beating the little girl, a man cook at the House of Refuge flogged a lit- tle noe f We learned of that immediately, instead of weeks after, as in Mrs. Blaser case, because our action had taught Bristol a lesson. When we were investigating the Blaser case Bristol told us he knew nothing of the little girl having been beaten and said he was horrified to learn of it. I do not be- lieve it wise to give absolute control to one man when it was possible for him to re- + gy in ignorance of such an affair as at. Porter, who is the author of the proposed measure, was an instructor at the House of Refuge under Bristol. It is evident that Bristol himself inspired the matter. “I understand that the Porter bill has been acted upon favorably in committee.“ said George C. Oeters. “It should not be- come a law, but we can only try to arouse publk& sentiment against it and talk with the Senators and Representatives from St. Louts, since we cannot leave our business to go to Jefferson City. I do not think that any private enterprise of the importance of the House of Refuge, such as a bank, for instance, would be placed under the con- trol of one man without the supervision even of a board of directors.“ Disagreeable sensations resulting from cough vanish before Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. FIFTY YEARS A JESUIT. Rev. Walter Hill, S. J., Celebrating His Golden Jubilee. Rev. Walter H. Hill, S.

Manufacturers of Pianos, Woolen Goods and Builders’ Hardware Will- ingto Establish Themselves Here. Within the past few days overtures have been made looking to the establishment of three large factories in St.. Louis for the manufacture of goods never before made here. Inquiries as to trade conditions and the possibility of securing available sites are being made through the Manufacturers’ As- sociation. One of the first letters opened by Secre- tary Tom Cannon on his return from the National Manufacturers’ Convention at Phil. adelphia was from a large Michigan piano and harp manufacturing company. letter stated that firm. was desirous o removing its plant to St. Louis, believing it would have better facilities cor manufactur- its present location. Minute inquiries as ¢ sites are made, and it is itively that if conditions are found favorable the entire plant will be brought to St. Louls. There has never been a piano factory here, and the establishment of one would add another to St. Louis’ long list of industries. Tuesday Secretary Cannon received a sim- Har letter from a New York woolen mill company. This concern also wants to estab- lish itself in St. Louis and makes a prop- osition. It is willing to purchase a site here and remove its entire plant here if a suf- ficient number of St. Louisans will purchase stock to enable it to increase its capitaliza- tion. It is the intention to so enlarge the factory as to make the output at least 50 per cent larger than at present. Secretary Cannon thinks there is little doubt that the required purchase of stock will be made by St. Louisans. Much the same proposition has been made by an Eastern concern engaged in the manu- facture of builders’ hardware. With an -available site and the purchase of addi- tional stock guaranteed it is prepared to move here and open its plant full blast in the early spring. Secretary Cannon is highly elated at the attention St. Louis is attracting as a manu- facturing center. “Capitalists everywhere,” he said, are beginning to realize that there is no better distributing point in the country than St. Louis. In fact there is none so good. I is the logical manufacturing and distribut- ing center of the country. Scores of East- ern manufacturing concerns dispose of their entire output in or west of St. Louis. Many of them would be only too glad to remove their plants here if reasonable inducements were offered. “As an instance of the sublime faith in- vestors have in St. Louis I have a letter here from an Eastern gentleman who says he has from _ $10,000 to $20,000 which he is willing to invest in a factory either already established or to be established. He doesn’t care what the character of the output may be. He is willing to invest in a factory of any kind and wants to place his money at nce. ; With the projected cotton mill. a plano factory, a woolen mill and a hardware factory. St. Louis trade should look up next season.” NICKEL-IN-THE-SLOT MACHINES The Banned Gambling Devices Making Their Reappearance. , The nickel-in-the-slot gambling machines have made their reappearance in the sa- loons and cigar stands, from which they were banished by Chief Harrigan two years ago, after a series of raids that made their operation a losing venture. Now that the Supreme Court has decided that the pool rooms may be operated under the present laws, saloonkeepers and proprietors of ci- gar stands seem to think this sufficient en- couragement to resume the operation of these gambling devices. These slot machines vary in design and construction as greatly as does the revenue derived from the operation of the different machines by the owner, lessee and player respectively. . 5 run all the way from the simple machine in which the player has an almost equal chance of obtaining a cigar for his nickel up to the intricate machine in which the player has an oppor- tunity to obtain triple the amount of the nickel invested, provided luck is with him. | It was against the operation of these last named machines that the edict of the Chief of Police was more particularly directed. They were a most profitable source of rev- enue to the saloonkeepers and also to the companies introducing them. As the ma- chines represented quite an 1 of invest- ed cabital, it is probable that the men in- terested in the business will attempt to again secure their general introduction here, and if their operation is again inter- fered with, carry the case to the higher courts.

FRAMED BY AGREEMENT BE- TWEEN ASSOCIATIONS. BICYCLISTS ARE INCLUDED. They Agree to a $2 Tax, but Counselor Marshall Dislikes Some Feat- ures of the Measure. gates Friday evening the Committee on Ways and Means will submit a report on vehicle licenses, It will be in the form of @ substitute ordinance, drawn with a view to overcome the objections to the three bills now pending in the House. The ordinance is the result of months of work by representatives of the League of American Wheelmen, the Vehicle Owners Association, the Teamsters’ Association and the Coal Dealers’ Association. More than a score of meetings have been held, and all differences of opinion eliminat- ed. The bill was finally drawn by Attorney E. W. Patterson, Chairman of the Legis- lative Committee of the L. A. W., and has the indorsement of all these associations. There are no changes made in the scale of taxes now in effect, except that bicycles, tricycles and velocipedes are added to the list of “vehicles.” The tax on these is fixed at $l a year. Bicycles 8 harm to the streets, but it is believed the wheelmen will have no ob- ection to the nominal tax, especially as the ills whith will be superseded by the present one contain many objectionable provjsions. One of them imposes a tax of $2 and re- uires a red signal light to be carried. An- other regulates the speed. The third fixes he tax at $1. n ee Northrop, chairman of the City Streets Committee of the L. A. W., who has worked hard to bring about the present un- derstanding between interested classes, says he hopes no wheelmen will object to the tax. It will add about $75,000 to the reve- nues of the city, and he thinks the wheel- men will then be in à position to demand concessions from the Municipal Assembly. It is his particular desire to have bicycle aths opened up all through Forest Park. e thinks 25 miles could easily be provided. City Counselor Marshall has been work- ing for some time on a new vehicle license ordinance, but if the provisions of the pres- ent bill meet his views he will let it go at that. It is certain, though, that it will not pass in its present shape. And it is equally cer- tain that the amendment he will insist upon will not please the cyclists. Section 8 of the bill provides that the funds derived from the licenses herein pro- vided for shall be strictly applied to the im- provement and maintenance of the streets, avenues and boulevagds of the city of St. Louis and for the construction of roadways in the various parks.” The legal advisers of the various asso- ciations hold that this disposition can be legally made. Mr. Marshall insists that it cannot, “To do that would require a char- ter provision,“ he says. The Municipal As. sembly cannot indicate in advance how cer- tain funds shall be used.

PICKPOCKETS ROB CONDUCTORS ORGANIZED GANG WORKING ON THE STREET LINES. The Thieves Dip Into the Fare-Taker’s Pockets While He Is Squeezing Through a Crowded Car. The police are on the track of a well or- ganlzed gang of clever pickpockets, who confine their operations to the street cars. They have been working on every line in the city for a week and have so far eluded Chief Harrigan’s thief catchers. That portion of the gang operating on the Union Depot Line does its work within two blocks of the Four Courts. Conductors are their principal victims. The pickpocket takes a seat in the car next to the aisle when the car is fairly crowded. The hour usually chosen is what is kn6wn as the supper trip when people are going home from business. While the con- ductor is squeezing through the crowd to collect the fares the hand of the thief is slipped into his ket. When the conductor. counts up his change at the end of his trip he finds that a handful of it is missing. During the week past seven conductors on the Citizens’ road have been robbed in this way and five on the Suburban. Con- ductors on the other lines say the robberies are of almost daily occurrence. Three Union Depot Railway conductors were robbed at the same point on the line. Last Friday night Conductor R. E. Bullen of the California avenue line entered his car at Fourteenth and Clark avenue, two blocks west of Chief Harrigan’s office. He had 51 in change in his pocket when he started through to collect. The car had reachec Eighteenth street when he returned to the rear platform. At that point a passenger offered him a bill. When he started to change it he found that $5 had been taken from his pocket. The news of Butler’s loss spread among the men. After that several of the con- ductors got into the habit of counting their change after passing Eighteenth and Clark avenue, Monday night Conductor E. M. Smith's count showed that he had lost $6.50, which he undoubtedly had in his pocket when he 1 — the A Metre wt street. uesday nig onductor James E lost $4.40 in the same way. — The conductors are required to make up the losses from their own pockets. The police were notified of the robberies, but suppressed the facts, BELL MADE THE MONEY. And Higgins Can Hold His Job for Awhile Longer. Charles Higgins, Chairman of the Board of Election Commissioners, will not suf- fer himself to be hurried up by Col. Nich- Olas M. Bell, Excise Commissioner. He is in no hurry to succeed to the latter’s title with its six months’ emptiness, “A man appointed Excise Commissioner,” he said Wednesday, cannot enter upon the discharge of his duties until he has quali- fied by taking the oath of office.” “When will you do that?’ “Not until my successor is inted here. The law requires me to hold on un- 2 then. I don't propose to hold two offices at once. _— SS Besides,“ he concluded with a shade of bitterness in his voice, “there is nothing (6 — a gd there. Col.
