The Mullanphy Savings Bank, 1451 North Broadway, closed its doors at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning. It is now in charge of ®iate Bank Examiner ©. ©. Austin. The institution has been in a crippled con- dit‘on for some time. Friday the Continental Bank, through which the Mullanphy has been clearing, notified the Clearing-house Assoctation that it would clear no longer. ‘Friday night the KE -Xgc utive Committee of the Clearing-house met with a view to arranging a plan to tide the crippled bank over its difficulites. Such was its condition, however, that it was not deemed advisable to attempt it. This news was noised abroad early Satur- day morning and a run was started by the depositors. Mr. Austin, who was at the bank, examining its books, deemed it ad- visable in the interests of all the depositors to close the doors, and this was accordingly done. Ever since the panic of 1893 the Mullanphy Savings Bank has been in bad shape. The officials have struggled along in the hope of pulling out, but the continued business de- pression, coupled with bad loans, was more than they were able to overcome. The last time Mr. Austin examined the bank was in April, 1896. It was then in a perilous condi-: tion, but there were strong hopes that af- fairs could be righted. The State law with reference to bank ex- aminations makes it necessary that every in- stitution be looked into once a year. It was in the performance of this routine duty that Mr. Austin began going over the, books of the institution last Wednesday. He soon saw what the situation was. Other banks In the city were cognizant of the condition of affairs, but there was no disposition to crowd matters. The disposi- tion .was rather to the contrary. Although no member of the Clearing-House, aid would ve been extended by this associa- tion could it have been of any avail. As soon as the Continental announced to the Clearing-house that it would no longer clear for the Mullanphy, steps for relief were taken. The managing committee of the Clearing-house held a meeting Friday night at the residence of one of the mem- bers. Mr. Austin was present. He laid be- fore these gentlemen the inside informa- tion as*to the crippled institution’s condi- ton, It was evident that nothing could be done to save it, and a conclusiom was reached that the bank had better not continue in business. When Mr. Austin reached the bank Satur- day morning, a little after 9 o'clock, he found a crowd of at least fifty depositors trying to get their money. The bad news had traveled fast and the people, most of whom were pobdr, were terribly anxious to get their savings from the tottering wreck. The Bank Examiner informed L. G. Kam- 'merer, the cashier and active manager, that the doors must be closed. This announce- ment was also made to the excited deposit- rs. They became angry and demanded their money. It was refused them, and they were told to leave the building. Some were inclined to resist, but finding the officials were firm in their purpose, they finally left peaceably. One elderly widow, who had over $400 on She wept bit- terly as she hobbled down the front steps, railing against all bankers as robbers. A man who declared that he had $10 in the bank made more fuss than any one else. He had but recently turned over ‘a new leaf and commenced to save money, He cursed like a pirate and swore that he would never save another cent, Once the bank was cleared the following sign was posted on the locked front door: This bank in the hands of : the Secretary of State. : Cc, O. AUSTIN. oe «+ ©° @f OF * eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eee eeeee eee eee eeeee Late comers read it, rattled the door, swore deeply and went away in anger. When the postman on that route showed up, he nearly fainted. He has $200 on de- posit and thought he ought to a able to get -it out, but he could not. On the inside the clerks were ne with the ‘books, Mr. Austin overseeing them, Cashier Kammerer sat at his desk, a woe ne spectacle. When a Post-Dispatch Teporter was admitted and asked him for a statement of the causes leading-up to the crisis, he declined to give it. “Mr. Austin is in charge,” he said, Will say anything that is to be said.” Mr, Austin briefly ‘outlined to the reporter his-@onnection with the case, but he declined to give out any information as to the bank’s present status, “I closed the. bank,” he said, “in the in- terest Of the depositors, after the Clearing- “house Committee decided that it was not best to attempt to tide the institution over. They were anxious to help the bank out, be- cause they did not want St. Louis’ good record with reference to bank failures brok- en, but they thought affairs were in such condition that it could not be permanent and might lead to graver complications “The Mullanphy Bank has never been able to get over the panic of 1893.

This will be done as soon as possible.” Mr. Austin, however, did consent to pre- pare the following statement, giving what the books of the bank show: Condition of Mullanphy eh Bank at close of business Feb. 26, 1 LIABILITIES. Capital stock Surplus Demand deposits Time deposits Certificates of Deposit in sight Cashier's checks . Bills Payable SSSRIRZ RESOU RCErS.

How great a pro- portion of the bills receivable, bonds and real estate, can be realized upon, will devel- op after the receiver begins to straighten out the tangle. In view or tne fact that the Clearing-house refused to go to the front, it cannot be large. The Mullanphy Bank omenéa fts doors March 1, 1873. The present Board of Di- rectors is as follows: Fred 8S. Bolte, Cas- par Gestring, Conrad H. Grote, C. Kellers- mann, H. Klages, Joseph Marks, J. H. Rottmann, Chas. Schumacher and F. Schwartz. J. H. Rottman is the President. The directors apparently did not expect to be closed up so suddenly. Mr. Marks went to the bank at 10 o‘clock on business, and was surprised to find the sign on the door. He declined to talk. The failure was not a surprise in banking circles. It was known to have been limping along since’the panic of 1893 and last spring several loans placed the bank in precarious condition. Several of the heaviest borrowers were speculators and touched the bank hard to take rommeftcial flyers. Their notes were secured by the speculative article. A promi- nent banker said Saturday: “The Mullanphy holds enough whisky as collateral to make the whole town drunk.” The bank holds a lot of paper of Schwart Bros. Commission Co., Bank of Commerce Building. This firm filed chattel deeds of trust on 250,000 sacks of wheat in the Farm- ers’ Elevator to secure outstanding notes aggregating $25,000 and similar notes on real estate to secure $7,016 worth of their paper. It is not known whether this paper was discounted at the’ Mullanphy bank. Just before the United Stdtes Internal Reyenue Department made the change Te- lating to .whisky Teuscher took quite a fiyer in whisky, counting on a rise in price. Mr. Teuscher’s efforts to corner the “booze” market ran up his overdrafts with the Mullanphy Bank to $80,000. President John Rottman said Sat- urday that this was a dead loss. President Rottman also borrowed freely from the institution to push his whisky business. His stock is up for collateral. There are other whisky dealers who have had their paper honored freely by the di- rectors. When Bank Examiner Austin made his in- spection in April, 1896, he winnowed through these securities. The bank had been adver- tising a surplus of $170,000. He ordered that all suspicious collateral be checked against it and in the next statement the surplus appeared-as $2,000. It his appeared at that figure since. Another factor in, the bank’s downfall was the withdrawal of many live stock traders from North Broadway to East St. Louis. This pulled down the bank’s business con- siderably and helped precipitate the crash, President John | Rottmann said to a Post- ane CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO. JOE WHERRY GANT BE FOUND. DETECTIVE ARCHAMBAULT IS in bond, young T. 8&.. SEARCHING FOR HIM. 'CLERK OF PROBATE COURT. Judge Rassieur Is Having His Court Accounts Thoroughly Investigated. Detectives are looking for Joseph L. Wherry, formerly City Register, and now Clerk of the Probate Court. His accounts as ee Court Clerk are being examined. He has not attended to his official duties for over a week. Since last Tuesday night, when he was seen tn Carmody’s saloon on Sixth street near Olive, he has not been at home or at any of his usual haunts. When seen at Carmody’s he appeared to be recov- ering from a prolonged spree. Mr. Wherry’s wife is not looking for him. She has had her furniture packed and put in storage and has also withdrawn from pub Ic gaze. Mr. Wherry is mostly wanted by former business associates. The police were asked to locate him by Mr. J. J. Gavin of 4146 Fair- fax avenue, and Mr. Marcus A. Wolff § Mr. Gavin says Mr. Wherry owes him $3,000. Mr. Wolff he wants $750 from the ex-Register. Ponath & Brueggemann say they want $650 There may also be a shortage in his ac- counts in the Probate Court. Judge Ras- sieur suspected for a long time that Mr. Wherry was growing careless in his work. He thought he would investigate and last Saturday asked Mr. Wherry to let him go over his books. Mr. Wherry asked him to wait until Monday, as he wanted to straight- en them out himself Sunday. When Judge Rassieur came down Monday he found that Mr. Wherry had been down Sunday’ working on his books. Mr. Wherry did not show up. His stepson came down and reported him at home, sick in bed. This was kept up until Friday, when the young man acknowledged to the Judge that he had been deceiving him. He said his stepfather was not sick, but had disap- peared. 7 “The Judge thottett’as-much, for his exam-" ination of the books had revealed a short- age. Judge Rassieur did not know of Wherry owing money elsewhere and tried to con- ceal the fact that there was a shortage in Mr. Wherry’s court accounts. He said that the blame was his, as he had made the ap- pointment. He should have watched his sub- ordinate more closely, and as he had not he intended to shoulder the blame and see that neither Stategnor city loses a cent, Mr. Wherry was under $1,000 bond to the court, with J. H. Conrades and ex-Assessor John J. O’Brien as sureties. When a reporter called at the Wherry resi- dence, 2918 North Newstead avenue, Satur- day morning, workmen from the Langan Moving and Storing Co. were taking out the tousehold effects, preparatory to storing them, Neither they nor the neighbors knew an thing of the family’s whereabouts. Wh hen Wherry’s disappearance was noised about real estate row Friday Messrs. Wolff. and Gavin at once called on Chief of De- tectives Desmond and asked that Wherry be located and apprehended. Detective Archambault was assigned to the case and traced the missing man up to Tuesday night, when he * diaappeared as if the earth had swallowed him. He had been drinking since Sunday. 7 Wherry is a prominent figure in North St. Louls. He wears a G. A. R. button and the fate.

Curious Realization of a Dream by a Man Affiicted With au. | odd, Ailment. Joseph Bergman died of starvation at the City Hospital at 1:30 0 ‘clock Saturday morn- ing. He was received there unconscious at 9 o’clock Friday night. He had acute anemia and was a patient at the hospital a dozen times before his final visit. His ailment was peculiar. H's stomach was unable to digest food and transform it into blood. His body wasted away, until he was merely skin and bones. Bergman was superstitious and placed credence in dreams, Several months ago he claimed he had a vision while asleep, in which he was told that on his thirteenth trip to the hospital he would die. A month ago he left the hospital and told his phystl- c‘an and nurses he would never return, and he gave his reasons therefor. Bergman lived at 1224 North Broadway. For several days he had been growing weaker and weaker, and Friday night he lapsed into insensibility. His friends called an ambulance and he was removed to the hospital. The physicians worked with him, and in an hour restored him to conscious. ness. He looked wildly around and when he saw where he was he made an effort to leave his bed. He was so weak that he found it impossible. Dr. Hencke tried to quiet him, but Berg- man insisted on leaving. He related his dream and said ae knew he would die if not permitted to lea “This is the ‘thirteenth time I have come here,”’ he said, “‘and i rT do not get away at once 1 know I shall die The physician explained that it was im- possible to move him.

Chem- istry treats of the elements and their com- pounds and the study of the laws governing their combinations one with another. If we prove that the so-called elements are not elements, the bottom drops out of the whole science. The discovery at one stroke anni- hilates all the theories that have been ac- cepted from the time chemistry first start- ed until the present day. It vindicates the a apa were as-; tained: 86.30 13,714.90 is then placed in a suitable furnace in euch a that the products of combustion will come into contact with the mixed mass of ox vapor arising from the burning fuel con- tains the oxides of sulphur.and carbon, which unite with the burning oxides, producing a sulphide ore, from which the gold and silver is extracted. The heat of the furnace ig kept up for twen- ty-four hours or longer. The mass of oxide then indicates a change from a powdered state into a rtlally fused mass of ore. When this ore is re- moved and treated, the gold and silver is extracted. I may vary the propor- tions of the oxide used, as well as the time I submit the same to the action of the heat in the furnace. This furnace must be constructed suitably for the purpose. The object is to keep the mixed oxides in a heated atmosphere until the mixed mass of oxide has been converted into an ore.

The applica- tion was entitled “Artificially Producing Ores from which precious metals may be extracted by the customary methods of re- ducing ores.” The next caveat was filed Jan, 30, 1895, and the title was: ‘“‘Manufac- ture of Gold and Silver.”’ Mr. Brice is the first to find out what gold pow is and he talks thus interestingly con- cerning his remarkable discovery: “Gold is a compound oxide of lead and tin. The oxide must be solely produced by heat and not by solution. The materials used are in their raw state. I discovered this by an exhaustive search of lodes and veinstenes and then blended the Sementary substances found there. The first material blended was from ‘“‘black-jack’’ found in the Black Hills, wh'‘ch is tin ore and o:ide of tin. I made my first experi- ments and took up this line'of investigation without much hope of ultimate success. Prior to these exper’ments ,I had found out that certain substances could be used for the purpose of getting the oxide into the minerals generally, but my method of ex- periment at the beginning was to take up a series, and this series usually of substances |’ found in cqnnect‘on ores. I then blended them by solution, anf at all times worked to get them ‘tnte the atomic state. It re- quires that state before vou can change one substance to another. If they are mingled in any other but the atomic state they only with gold and silver em by heat, treated unite in mechanical un‘on and not in a chem- | fjeal one. This is‘ found in common material such as brass, which is copper and ginc, and in solder, wh'ch ‘s lead and tin.” Continuing, Mr: Brice then described with- out reserve his- process of producing gold and silver: ‘“‘As will be seen a little later. the salient feature of my invention is the oxid‘zation of the base metals in the pres- ence of, ard by means of heat. This is what I consider to be the best and most feasible way of commercially producing the op higuenane metals. I-take metallic lead and in, preferably using the compound known as solder. being cheaper. These metals are submitted to an oxidizing heat. They are eevee in a suitable vessel which is then eated, preferably so that the contents as- sume a red heat and the lead and tin are theroughly fused together. From time to time the contents of the vessel are stirred, | silver which has been made according to my invention has been tested, and found to be as pure ag any gold and sil- ver found in the natural state. There have been material difficulties thrown in the way of Mr. Srice perfecting his invention and they have been of a nature to discourage most men. In March, 1894, however, he became associated with Capt. E. R. Cocke, a wealthy planter residing near Richmond, Va. A plant was then erected at Washington, D. C. Mr. Brice then placed this plant at the disposal of Capt. Cocke. He was told to choose his own material, taught the use of the furnaces and shown the forfhhula by which to produce the precious metals. It the time which had elapsed between the building of this plant and Capt. Cocke's individual experiments, Mr. Brice had proved to his own satisfaction the com- mercial practicability of his invention. He oO mW Walt, 3 | win i REFINING FURNACE AND OXIDE PRO- DUCER. a wished Capt. Cocke to be thoroughly con- vinced before becoming associated with him in the development of the enterprise. Capt. Cocke first thoroughly cleaned the furnaces, even going to the length of scrap- ing the linings so that no gold or silver might be concealed within fhem. He then followed the formula M®#®, Brice had given him, His experiment was successful and a sample of the ore obtained by him was foer- warded through Mr. Taubernach of Mar- shall, [1l., to the Sub-Treasury at St. Louis and duly reported upon by Mr. Guy Bryan, the assayer of that institution. It now looked like plain sailing, but more bad luck was in store for Mr, Brice. The valuable plant at Washington was burned to the ground June, 1895, destroying the furnaces and all the sectional drawings of the same. These furnaces which have now been reproduced in the @hicago plant are solely the invention of Mr. Brice. They imitate as closely as possible the , = ts i 7 Masked © -» Asaay Office or Sliver aie .

Th!s operation is continued until all the contents of the vessel are converted into oxide, The result- ing product thus formed is composed of lead and is a yellow, pulverent substance. In the specification of his application filed on May 7, 1890. at present in the secret archives of the different patent offices, Mr. Brice says: This substance when assayed is found to contain gold and silver in substantial - quantities proportionate to the amount of e metal used, in some instances assaying more per ton than ore taken from. the mines. [Instead of using lead and tin, there may be used lead, tin and ‘antimony, or ordinary type metal, or Babbit metal. All of these I have used, but I do not limit myself to any of onere that old and ail- by process described is due to the oxidigation as already stated.

To suc- cessfully imitate her in this particular was’ an apparently insuperable difficulty, but after building nine furnaces which d!d not wholly answer the purpose the inventor suc- ceeded at last in obtain.ng one which gave the desired result.

BUDA PEST, Feb, 27.—In the Lower House of the Diet to-day the Hungarian Premier said the fears that Austria would become in- volved in war on account of Crete were un- founded. The efforts of all the Powers, he said, were directed to creating such an organization in Crete as would completely restore order and security in the island. The Powers were unanimously agreed that under no circum- stances should Greece be allowed to annex Crete, and they were also unanimously re- sulved to coerce Greece, if necessary, to at- tain their ends, LONDON, Feb. 27.—The Greek Charge d’Affaires in this city denies that King, George has intimated his intention of ac- cepting the demands of the Powers, as an- nounced yesterday in a dispatch which a Greek merchant in this city received from Athens. PARIS; Feb. 27.—Reports are current here and elsewhere tn Europe to-day that if the Powers insist upon the Greek troops evac- uating the Island of Crete, King George will abdicate in favor of Crown Prince Con- the Princess Sophia, 4s a sister of Emperor William of Germary. ATHENS, F cb. 27.—The long visit of the British Minister to the King yesterday re- vives the rumor that England favors the Greek claims in Crete..' Two more classes of reserves have been called out. Crown Prince Constantine, Duke of Spar- ta, shortly starts for the frontier. There is feverish activity in the department of the Ministry of War. Thousands of volunteers ment. Prime Minister Delyannis in an interview Thursday said that the decision of the Gov- ernment to maintain the army in Crete was irrevocable. On the other hand, Greece had no intefifion of declaring war against Turkey.~ Such g step would only be taken if the Turks inVade Thessaly or the great powers render the position of the Greek army in Crete intolerable. There is no in- tention of invading Macedonia. Greece is not desirous of embroiling Europe in a general war. No understanding exists be- tween Greece and Bulgaria in regard to Macedonia. The calmness or moderation of Premier Delyannis impresses one most fav®drably. He is evidently averse to desperate meas- ures, CANDIA, Crete, Feb. 27.—The Turks, having been furnished with arms by the Governor, made a sortie for the purpose They attacked and inflicted a severe loss on the Christians. The commanders of the ves- sels anchored in the harbor protested to the Governor against what they claimed was a violation of the armistice. SALONICA, Feb. 27.—The Porte has de- manded the immediate recall of the Greek Consul, who is suspected of informing Greece of the movements of the Turkish troops. ROME, Feb, 27.—A mass-meeting was held at Palermo for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the Cretan Christians in their efforts to rid themselves of Turkish rule. Among the messages received was one from ex-Prime Minister Crispi, who, after expressing his approval of the object of the meeting, said: “Tt was due to Great Britain that Gari- baldi, in 1860, was not hindered in landing in Sicily. To-day the case is identical. If the Powers intervene, it ought to be for the liberation of oppressed nations, and never to maintain a state of barbarism living on incendiarism and assassination.”’ ‘river on *he Dauntless.

ISHPEMING, Mich., Feb. 27.—Michigamme is threatened with destruction by fire. A blaze started this morning at 10:10 o'clock in the upper story of C. F. Sunderstrom’s store on Main street. This building and the adjoining business block, formerly occu- pled by H. J. Atkinson and Peters & Hall, are now in ashes. Seven or e ght business places immediately adjoining Peterson's will surely be consumed, as a strong wind is biowing towards them. The fire department has nothing but a hand engine and a few hundred feet of hose to fight the fire. A steamer with two thousand feet of hose is now on the way by s ‘al train.

Latest Advices From Havana Indicate That So Far It Is Only a Farce. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—In dispatches to the Post-Dispatch the vindictive, insolent and domineering alisposition of Secretary Olney was mentioned and the prediction made that if Consul-General Lee's resig- nation was accepted it would be done in a note insulting in its terms. That oppor- tunity was denied him, but advices are that yesterday Olney sent an ugly dispatch to Gen. Lee, calling attention to the fact that confidential information apparently is being obtained at the Consulate in Havana. He demanded to know if that confidential infor- mation has been given out by him, and if not, whether any newspaper representative is directly or indirectly connected with his consulate. Lee’s friends at Washington are fearful that the patched-up peace will hardly last until the Cleveland Administra- tion is at an end. FIRED ACROSS HER BOWS. The Dynamite Cruiser Vesuvius Stops the Steamer Dauntless. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 27.—The dy- namite vruiser Vesuvius fired acfoss the bows of the Dauntless yesterday afternoon, when that steamer attempted to sl!p by the cruiser and the revenue cutter Boutwell. The owner of the Dauntless had been re- fused clearance by the Collector of Cus- toms, and the following letter was then ad- dressed to that official: “I hereby demand of you that you allow the steam tug Dauntless to proceed to sea on her lawful business. We are willing to make affidavits that we will not violate any of the laws of the United States. Will you kindly reply in writing whether you will or will not allow the said steamer to depart?’’ Receiving no reply he started down the The Vesuvius and Boutwell both gave whistle signals to the Dauntless to stop. As she was apparently passing the cruiser without obeying a solid shot from one of the te genet piney dropped in front of the allege libuster. The Dauntless was immediately oe and was boarded by an officer of the Ves- uvius and ordered back to her dock. The owner will now sue the commander of the Vesuvius for illegal detention. GEN. LEE INSULTED. Called a Liar by Palmerola, but Not in Lee’s Presence. NEW ‘YORK, Feb. 27.—The Herald this morning publishes the following dispatch from Havana: Marquis de Palmerola made a scandalous personal attack on Gen. Lee Wednesday night in the palace in the pres- ence of several American newspaper corre- spondents. The correspondents desired to have passed a dispatch stating that the release of Scott had been demanded be- cause he was kept in prison in defiance of the law. “Who told you that?’’ shouted Gen. Pal- merola, Secretary of State to the island, “Gen. Lee,”’ replied a correspondent. “Gen. Lee is a liar, tmposter and rebel,” shouted the little Marquis. This. incident shows what must be the treatment of an ordinary citizen when the Consul General is thus openly reviled by one of the heads of the Government hefe.”’ RUIZ INVESTIGATION. So Far the Spanish Proceedings Seem to Be a Farce. HAVANA, Feb. 27.—The investigation in- to the death of Ruiz has begun. Lieut. Va- varro is in charge. ‘He spengs his time in Guanabuacoa in the cafes with Fondeviela and the Alcalde, Marury. The body was exhumed Tuesday night and returned Wednesday night. It was viewed by the leading military surgeons, who have probably been ordered to sign an opinion that Ruiz committed suicide. In Guanabacoa it is stated that Ruiz’ neck was broken. Dr. Burgess refused to either affirm or deny this story. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 27.—Ricardo Ruiz who is said to have been beaten to death in a Spanish prison in Cuba, was an American citizen, e was naturalized in this city. A record of his naturalization was found to-day in the Prothonotary’s office. , Under his full name (Ricardo Ruiz de Ugarrio) Ruiz declared his intention of be- coming a citizen of the United States, De- cember 19, 1877, and final naturalization pa- ers was granted January 21, 1 When e came to this country the man called himself simply Ruiz. He was naturalized in open court by Judge Thomas K. Finlet- ter. The papers were regularly indexed un- der the name Ugarrio, and when the con- troversy was begun over his nationality the name Ruiz could not be found. he dis- covery to-day however, removes all doubts on the subject. MULLANPHY BANK CLOSED. CONTI Dispatch reporter: “The bank has plenty of money. We didn’t close because we were broke. The bank examiner had to shut’ us down because the Continental Bank played a snap on us. They wouldn’t clear for us and we had to quit.

Pe | Ae yee) BS + mE TA E e POT EER ME WOKE “EM UP POINTED REMARKS ON HIS ANTI. PASS BILL. VERY HEATED DISCUSSION. Some Strong Pointers on the Free Pass Evil, but the Bill Was Beaten. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 27.—One of the most interesting events of the House proceedings yesterday came at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, just before adjournment. It was the debate on Representative Pope's anti-pass bill, and it made a fitting climax to a busy and somewhat turbulent day of lawmaking. The Pope bill was calied up for final pass- age just at.a time when everybody was Weary frem the tlresome proceedings of the day. Members sat in their soft, springy seats, half sleep'ng, and the lobby and gal-= lery was almost clear of spectators. But Representative Pope woke ’em up. And when-he was fairly started on a speech in support of his bill, the gallery was soon refilled, and standing room in the lobby was ata premium. Anything that pertains to the free pass evil 's always interesting dis- euss‘on in 2@ legislative body, and the pro- ceedings of yesterday were no exception to the rule. Heretofore there has been but compara- tively little said ahout the Pope eee bill. Its ‘ntrodustion was not attended by any flourish of \cumpets, but it suddenly Sprung into noter‘ety yesterday afternoon when it came up ter final passage. The REPRESENTATIVE POPE. ee ee ee eee + ey bd of votes vesulted {n the defeat of the bill; or, at least, there was an alarming superfiuity of absentees. They may not have dodged the issue, for that is a hard matter to determine, but the fact remains that empty seats were plenty and the exodus came with strange suddenness. Following is a copy of the defeated bill: Section 1. That sec. 3864 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri of 1889, the same being a part of chapter 47 thereof. en- titled “Crimes and punishments,” is here- by repealed, and a new section enacted in lieu thereof, to read as follows: Sec. 3864. Any person who shall send or ) deliver, or offer to send or deliver, either Bees Fb indirectly, any free pass, | ticket 6y°ahy™" other*kind of transporta- tion over the Jine of any railway or any other transportation company, or who shall sell or offer to sell the same ata discount, or for less than the price usu- ally charged, to any member of the General Assembly of the State of Mis- souri, or any officer, clerk or employe thereof, or any member of the Board of Equalization of the State, or any clerk or employe thereof, or any State, judicial, county or munici!tpal officer of the State, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and punished by a fine not less than fifty or more than five hundred dollars. As a general rule, the defeat of a bill re- moves from it much of its interest. But in the case of the Pope bill there is much of interest by reason of the spicy debate that preceded it. Representative Cashion, the Republican member from Perry County, who 4d'stin- guished himself by a virulent speech in op- position to the ex-Confederate Home bill when it was under consideration in the House a few days ago, attempted to make a speech yesterday !n opposition to the Pope anti-pass bill. Mr. Cashion said that he made no denial of the fact that he rides on a free pass as often as he can get them when the Legislature is not in session. and he wanted ft understood that he was in line for further favors from the railroads. e declared that just so long as a legis- tor did not use free transportation dur- ng the legislative term, he was committing ho wrong. Mr. pi x answered Mr. Cashion in a very Matter of fact way. He read a section from Ee Constitution which sets forth in plain anguage the regulations governing. public officers in relation to free passes. After Mr. Pope ‘had finished his constitutional citation, Mr. Cashion interposed with an Interrogatory: “Do you mean to say that this law applies to us after the session is over?’ he queried. “Yes, sir, that is exactly what I mean to tay!’’ retorted Mr. Pope, in language em- gag enough to admit of no minconstruc- Continuing, Mr. Pope went on to s members of the House of Re renentatives Are bound by their oath until their success- ors are elected. “There is no telling how goon we may all be called back here, and whenever any member of the Legislature uses a railroad pass during his term of office, whether the Legislature is in session or not, he is most certainly violating his oath of office and the Constitution” “I do not believe that is true!” Mr. Cash- lon exclaimed. The debate would probably have grown still warmer at this point, but for the fact t Speaker Farris rapped for order. epresentative Pickler made one of his ‘famous corporation speeches in which he said the bill was decidedly too wide in its pe. He thought it would prevent a man buying a railroad ticket for a friend or paying car-fare for any guest who might be SICK HEADACHE : Pills. eS : Oo it fs eae ae aR ie! KEP Seabe: ‘ ? at ” su ing that he should leave his home in Adair County and come to Jefferson City to visit Representative Pope. Of course it would be but natural that Mr. Pope would want to take him on a hunting expedition over into the jungles of Callaway county. In the entertainment of his guest it would be but proper for Mr. Pope to provide him (Pickler) with transportation on the rail- road leading to the aforesaid hunting grounds. By doing so Mr. Pope would lay himself lable to the law according to the rovisions of the bill in question, Mr. Pick- er said. Then Representative Rubey took the floor and was presumably about to speak in favor of the bill when Representative Clarke of Kansas City, who is said to be a Sunday. school Superintendent, asked him to yie for a question. “Were I to invite you to visit me at Kan- sas City and offered you a railroad ticket eres ——— I net | be liable to punishment: r. Clarke queried. “You seant to be,”” retorted Mr. Rubey. i trying to entice me to such a bad ace.”’ This made every body laugh. A few more speeches were made for and against, and then the roll was called, This is the way the statesmen lined up: For the bill—Alldredge, Arnold, Avery, Bradford. Bradley, Burks, Caldwell, Chinn, Christy, Clarke, Coffey, Cole, Collins, Cow- ley, Daugherty. Denslow, Dyer, Ellis of Bates, Ellis of Vernon, Farrar, Fitzgerald, Frost, Hall, Hawkins, Hayes, Hendrickson, Hess.

Among the others were some who left their seats immediately after the Pope bill was called up. Having failed to receive a constitutional majority, Speaker Farris declared the Dill defeated. Seventy-one votes makes a con- stitutional majority on the final passage of a bill. A dozen of the absentees could have saved the Dill. THE HOUSE. Mueller, Members Vent Their Spleen on the Noisy Lobby. Special to the Post-Dispatch. : JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 27.—The House members were not in good humor this morning. Several statesmen were late in arriving, and many of them gave evi- dence of wanting to adjourrr until Monday. There was but one exciting incident dur- ing the forenoon. The crowd in the lobby talked so loud as to create disturbance, and some of the members were also talking in undertones. Speaker pro tem. Lee, who presided in the absence of Speaker Farris, did not take friendly to the noise, and the Acting Ser- geant-at-Arms, a young son of Sergeant- at-Arms Sommers, was ordered to restore order in the lobby. Instead of this, the young man dpproached Martin of Barton, Hall of Saline and other members, accus- ing them of being the disturbing factors. This angered Mr. Martin and he made a heated speech in which he objected to being singled out as a disturber. Representative Hall was not in a pleasant frame of mind either. “I wonder if that young limb of a Sergeant-at-Arms thinks it is his business to lecture the members of this House?’’ roared Mr. Hall. Speaker pro tem. Lee ruled that the mem- bers were not disturbing the proceedings, one the battle was concentrated on the obby. Sergeant-at-Arms Sommers is in Kansas City in connection with the Lowe case. Speaker Farris is there also. The House adjourned at 12:20 o’clock until Monday at 3 p. m. “INDIANS” MUST GO. The Lancaster Primary Bill Will Be Rapidly Pushed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 27.—There is to be a concerted effort made to push Senator Lancaster’s primary election bill to passage, at a rate more rapid than allowed by the regular legislative course. ‘The fact that it was introduced and ordered to en- grossment the same day under suspension of the rules shows that there is a disposi- tiomto keep it moving. When is bill becomes a law but few, if any, “Indians’’ will find an oportunity to ply their ffaudulent schemes. The penalty is fixed at not exceeding $500 fine and ninety days in jail, or both in extreme cases, where the violation is found to be especially flagrant. The wards are to be divided into districts. Wards, however, having more than 6,000 votes are to have three districts. Two judges and one clerk are allowed each district. In case of more than two delega- tions in each ward, only one judge and one clerk shall be allowed to each delegation, A challenger is to be stationed at each pre- cinct. The same books are to be used at the primary of each party, and the word “voted” is to be written opposite the name of each voter in order that there shall be no repeating. The idea in pushing this bill through to passage is to have it enacted in time to be effective at the coming pri- maries. THE SENATE. Adjourned to Monday After Very Light Business. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 27.—Many vacant chairs were in the Senate chamber when the Senate opened this morning, and but little business was traneacted. Senator Orchard introduced two bills, namely, the Ryder beer bill and the bill creating the office of Fire Marshal. The remainder of the time, outside of en- grossment of a few bills and other routine matters, was taken up in the discussion of a bill to tax old maids and other freak bills, intended to be humorous. The Senate adjourned at noon until 3 p. m. Monday. , THE FARMERS. Meeting of Their Legislative Organiza- tion Last Night. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 27.—The Farmers’ Legislative Club, at a meeting held last night, discussed the 2-cent pas- senger fare bill and decided to support it as a body. Only two dissenting votes were cast on this proposition, It is said. The farmers also decided favorably upon the Horse’ Breeders’ Association bill which seeks to legalize pool selling on legitimate races at the track. STOCK YARDS CHARGES. A New Bill Agreed Upon to Be Intro. . duced Monday. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFDPRSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 27..—A stock yards bill to take the place of the original bill introduced by Representative Slate, and which prompted the stock yards investigation, has been agreed upon and will be introduced in the House Monday afternoon.

Another provision is that the stock agent shall file an annual:statement with the Secretary of State setting forth the entire receipts of live stock. a rere Club has tacitly agreed to support this bill, eo it is understood, and it meets the approval of Mr. Slate, the author of the first bill. The reduction of charges contemplated in this bill is about 2 per cent below present prices. There is a difference of opinion among the members of the Stock Committee as to the merits of the bill. Representative Fitzgerald, President of the Farmers’ Club, is a warm supporter of the substitute bill. A Penitentiary Lunch. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 27.—War- den Starke and Deputies Tolin and McQuitty of the penitentiary tendered a prison ban- quet to the visiting newspaper correspond- ents and the local press at midnight. The spread was in the penitentiary dining-room, which gave a tinge of novelty to the oc- casion, none of the banqueters having ever become accustomed to eating inside prison walls. The menu was elaborate and choice Havanas came as a climax. Impromptu talks were made by Col. Henry W. Ewing of the Jefferson City Tribune on behalf of the local press and several of the metropoll- tam correspondents responded for the city press. Warden Starke, who learned to make a good speech when he was a member of the State Senate a few years ago, made a happy talk in which he expressed himself as glad te*have newspaper men visit him frequently, but he was glad to believe that none of them would ever become permanent lodgers at his resort. Major Bittinger Complimented. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 27.—In the House yesterday afternoon Representative Avery introduced a resolution reciting the fact that Representative John L. Bittinger of St. Joseph is apparently to be appointed United States Minister to Switzerland by the McKinley Administration, and in view of this prospect, the resolution declared congratulations to be in order. The reso- lution was adopted by a unanimous vote of the House, amid loud applause. Then came Maj. Bittinger with a happy little speech in which he'thanked the members for the compliment bestowed upon him, although the Major said that all the information he had of his prospective appointment was what he had read in the newspapers, Night Sessions. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JBDFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 27.—A res- olution providing for night sessions of the House on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri- days was adopted this morning. Convicts on Public Roads. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Rock Springs Club and Sixteenth Warders Indorse a Candidate. The Rock Springs Democratic Club of the Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth Wards held a raily at Bode’s Hall, Manchester and Vandeventer avenues, Friday evening. The immense hali was decorated with bunting and ‘hung with Meriwether lithographs. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Bode, who introduced Sam T. Rathell, who made a speech of considerable length explaining the poverty of the street railway companies and making a strong plea for Capt. Joseph Brown for Mayor. About 10 o’clock Lee Meriwether appeared in the hall, and the enthusiasm that greeted him was reminiscent of the great audi- torium meeting when Bryan addressed him- self to his St. Louis admirers. Mr. Meri- wether’s speech explained away all the points that had been raised against his street railway taxation ideas, explained the immense amount of water in the shape of bonds that has been injected into the street railway companies, and cited the great suc- cess of movements similar to his that have been inaugurated in many other cities. He also demonstrated how, if the city collected a just amount of taxes from the street railway companies, every idle man now in St. Louis could be put to work on necessary improvements and paid liberally. There is plenty of work to be done, but the city has not the money with which to have it done. After Mr, Meriwether’s speech, the club unanimously indorsed him for Mayor and individually pledged him their support by signing their‘ names to a paper that was circulated through the audience. Alfred McCrow and F. Conrad also made speeches. t Up in Noonan’s end of the town, the Six- teenth Ward, a mass meeting was held last night at Kahmann’s Hall, Twenty-second street and Madison avenue. Mr, Meriweth- er addressed the audience and met with hearty enthusiasm. Among the points made by him was the announcement that he believed that every street railway com- pany shou!d be compelled by law to build vestibules on the platforms of their cars for the protection of the motormen in cold weather. Many street car men were pres- ent and.the enthusiasm was unbounded. The meeting unanimously indorsed Mr. Meriwether for Mayor, the resolution to this effect being greeted by immense ap- plause. Courtney West Fined $2,000. Courtney West of the Moffitt-West Drug Co., who was indicted last fall for violat- ing the — laws, pleaded guilty in the United tates District Court Saturday. Judge Adams received the plea and fined West $2,000. Attorney E. 8S, Robert, counsel for West, stated that the advertising matter was prepared by reputable physicians, and his client had been advised by them that sending it through the mai‘is was not a violation of the postal laws.

The Big Boss Doing All He Can to Re- deem His Pledge Made to Wall Street. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 2.—A critical situation exists regarding the position of Attorney General in McKinley’s Cabinet. The New York machine leaders want John J. McCook appointed to the place, and he is the man desired by the big,trusts and corporations, It is stated that Mark Hanna promised Wall street previous to the elec- tion that if McKinley was elected McCook should be Attorney General. McKinley does not want to make this appointment and has offered the position of Secretary of the Interior to him... McCook has declined this and insists on Being Attorney General or nothing. The fight is very interesting, and some people think Hanna will carry his point yet. Mrs. McKinley’s Slippers. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

He Tells the Parliamentary Commit- tee That He Wanted to See Africa United. LONDON, Feb. 27.—The inquiry of the Parliamentary Committee into the Jame- son raid was resumed in Westminster Hall, Mr. Edward Blake's examination of Col. Cecil Rhodes was continued. The witness admitted he had instructed his agent in London, Mr. Rutherford Harris, to con- fidentially communicate the plans of the secret movement to certain persons in En- gland, but he refused to divulge their names. Asked whether having a force ready to march: into the Transvaal was conduct consistent with his position as Pre. mier, Col. Rhodes evoked laughter by re- plying: “It is for this committee to judge of my conduct. It does not appear to me to be inconsistent.” est Mr. Blake then drew attention to the ssage in the statement read by Col. hodes at the opening day of the ~ rg relative to a foreign power, and added: i accept fully your view that you had ade- ounds for that statement.” “Tl am reasons arm and people f erated and the imperial Government final y sanctioned it.” Gnsotisnes as to whether he thought the end justified the means, the witness replied: “If Il had succeeded we should have da union of Africa and the Chartered company would have greatly profited. As I failed I must take the respons-bility and I hope that the future wiil accomplish the union.”’ The witness asked the committee to con- sider in their deliberations the objects which he had in view. Mr. Henry Labouchere next examined Col, Rhodes. He asked: “Was Germany. the Power you believed President ruger favored?’ ““Yes,"’ was the reply. Asked for evidence in ween g ot of his be- lief the witness read extracts from a speech delivered by President Kruger before the German Club of Pretoria on the occas.on of Emperor William's birthday in 1896. Mr. uchere suggested that President Kruger’s speech may have been an after- dinner oration. ~ ' “But,” remarked Col. Rhodes, “President Kruger only drinks water.” Replying to further questions Col) Rhodes referred to the objection of the German Minister for Foreign Affairs, Baron Mar- schall Von Biéberstein, in the Reichstag, to a commercial union of the South African States as being likely to lead to a tica protectorate and the exclusion of — goods.

It is a necessary adjunct to the present election law. Honest pri- maries are just as important as honest elections, and in fact it is easier to de- feat the will of the people at the primary than at the general election, because as a rule the people are less watchful of the former than of the latter and their in- terest ts less aroused, If the two houses of the Legislature can pass this bill in time to n it op- erative at the coming primagies in St. Louis, a great point will be gained in be- half of honest government, ba ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN FINANCE. The Democrats in the Illinois Legisla- ture, under the leadership of Johnson of Whitesides, put the Republicans to stew in their own juice on the proposition for @ $250,000 loan. The Democrats were ready to vote the power on condition that it be hedged in by the limitations prescribed by the State Constitution. In other words, they were ready to authorize the loan for $250,000, but no more, . This proposition was not satisfactory to the Republicans, who, while professing that $250,000 was all that was contem- plated in the bill proposed, were unwill- ing to accept any amendment clearly stating the limitation. They wanted their unamended bill adopted with an emer- gency clause, under which the money |} could be turned into the State Treasury at once, By accepting a limitation clause they could have got it, but they preferred to wait, proving by that action that the State is not nearly so hard up as they have represented it to be. It is, of course, a hardship for the new Republican State Treasurer to be com- pelled to wait for funds to loan out at interest, one-fourth of which will be pocketed by himself, The $250,000 bill was clearly in the interest of Hertz. He is losing interest money at a dreadful rate every day until the ist of July. THE WARD BILL IN THE SENATE. The passage by the House of the Ward DI providing for the assessment of street railway properties by the State Board of Equalization puts that excellent measure well forward on the road to adoption. The session is drawing to a close and there is no good reason why this bill should remain.long in the Benate commit- - tee. Its provisions are plain and easily understood, and the people have come to understand them and to realize that they have an interest in their adoption. The official figures, showing the wide differ- ence between the real and assessed values of the property of the corporations that oppose the bill, are an unanswerable ar- -gument for it. The corporations have @voided discussion and they will continue to do so. If they succeed in defeating the bill it will not be through discussion of it. The duty of the Senate is plain and imperative. The Ward bill should not be sidetracked or held up in that body unti} the rush of other bills, particularly ap- propriation bills, in the closing hours of the session make action upon it difficult. The committee can dispose of it in a day; the Senate in a single session. If it needs amendment in any particular the work should be done at once tn order that time for the amendments to be considered and acted upon, Delay is dangerous, ————7, THE BOHART BILL. Ten days ago the Post-Dispatch asked what had become of the Bohart bill. This bill was introduced by Representa- tive J. E, Bohart of Clinton,County, near the beginning of the session, and its ob- ject is to prevent corporations and em- ployers of labor from coercing their em- '_ployes at or before elections. The*ques- ‘tion has not been answered, What has become of this bill? The bill as drawn up was excellent in most respects, but contained a very weak penalty clause, As a law is no stronger than its penalty clause, the Post-Dis- patch called attention to this defect, and ex-Gov. Johnson also made certain sug- gestions in the way of improving the bill. Representative Bohart expressed himself as pleased with these suggestions, and stated that he would take them into con- Since then the bill has not been heard from. The Election Commissioner has recently called attention to the fact that certain employers are still in the humor to co- erce their employes. They object to their acting as clerks or judges of election, although they are given immunity from acting as jurors, the loss of time being thus made up. There are a number of corporations and employers who are not naturally patriotic. Their patriotism must be law-made, as their wealth has been to a great extent, There is no doubt that a law to prevent coercion will be needed at every elec- tion, and especially before the election of 1900. The Bohart bill should be taken up, amended as suggested, and enact- ed by the State Legisiature. THE GOLD STANDARD IN CHILI. Industrial prostration following the adoption of the single gold standard is not confined to the United States. Other debtor nations which have taken that unwise course are experiencing evils sim- ilar to those which now afflict us. In the mass of news dispatches a few days ago was one which has probably not received the attention it merits. It was dated at Valparaiso the 21st inst., and read, Great tress prevails here and through- out Chili. There is a lack of orders and nearly all manufacturers have closed their shops. Idle workingmen congregate in many of the towns and beg the authorities for employment to save themselves and their families from starvation. One thou- sand artisans of this. city who are with- out work have appointed a delegation to visit the Président at Santiago and present to him a memorial showing their desperate situation. About a year ago Chill went to the single gold basis. At that time the fact was prockimed as additional evidence of the progress of monometallism. Chill was lauded as the most progressive of all the South American republics, and the people of this country were assured that they should take the action of that gov- ernment as a guide for their own con- duct, Probably the fact and the asser- tion had something to do with impressing some minds with the belief that gold was to become the universal standard. All the progress and prosperity of Chill were attained in the years when silver had the largest place in her coinage. Her war of conquest with Peru, and the immense fortunes realized by some of her people in consequence, led to a demand for money of the highest power in the payment of debts, Besides this influence, British interests in Chili are many and powerful, and these contributed largely to forcing the action which has brought about the present deplorable conditions. Chili is not as well prepared to with- stand the prostrating effects of a gold standard as are the United States. What is continued hardship for us must soon result in ruin for Chill, unless her people revolt against the despotism of wealth, That they are quite likely to do. ——_—————_ -_9-— ' The Cotton Growers’ Association says to the cotton planter: “‘You will be better off with a 7,000,000-bale crop selling at 10 cents, supplemented by ample food crops, than with a 10,000,000-bale crop selling at 5 cents.”” Doubtless every planter knows this to be true, but he does not know that the crop in some States may not be so short that a big crop in his own State will be profitable. Neither wheat farm- ers nor cotton farmers ever act together. ——_ William Lloyd Garrison says: “If this country wealth makes the laws, and makes them in its own interest, The legal devices for evading taxes are many.

A suf- ficient answer is to be found in the follow- ing facts brought to light for the people to mediate over whenever sugar is eaten, rub- ber goods worn or soda or coffee consumed. In regard to the Sugar Trust the follow- ing facts were brought out by the testi- mony of its heads, the Havemeyer brothers, and Mr. Searles, its secretary: Its object is, in part, to control prices. It controls both the price of what it buys and of what it sells. It refines 1,200,000 tons of sugar annually, or 9 per cent of the entire amount refined in the country. Fewer em- ployes are needed for a given output than before the trust was formed. Wages were raised 10 per cent when the trust was or- ganizea in 1887, and have remained about stationary since then. The avefage margin between the price of raw and refined sugar was .8 cent during the five years preceding the formation of the trust and 15 per cent more during the nine years that have since elapsed. Com. petition had prevented much profit during the five years before the formation of the trust. On its formation six dollars of trust certificates were issued for every dollar of stock of the original == corporations. Seven per cent is regularly earned on one- half of the present capital of $75,000,000, and 12 per cent on the other half. One hundred was the number of original stockholders. There are now about nine thousand. With reference to coffee it was proved by the testimony of Mr. Arbuckle and others that: The trust in coffee fixes the price. Com- petitors “usually adopt the scale of prices as fixed by us.” For the stock of the Woolson Spice Company, of & par value of $100, $1,150 was recently paid. Like the Sugar Trust, the trust in coffee keeps buy- ing competing plants, instead of building new ones. Thus competition is “incidental- ly” destroyed. (Many coffee factories, as well as sugar refineries, are closed after they are pur- chased. In the manufacture of rubber goods: The United States Rubber Company con- trols three-fourths of the output. At its inception the $4,300,000 capital of fits con- stituent companies was exchanged for $26,- 000,000 of the trust certificates. In soda, members of the great syndicate of Church, Dwight & Co, testified that: Dealers, in order to get a rebate, must sell the syndicate soda at the price fixed by the company, and all other sodas of the same price. Dealers must agree not to buy cheap bulk soda of other makes unless in case of necessity, and in any event must not push the sale of such soda. LAYING FOR BILL.

A scandal of considerable magnitude hag been unearthed in Westchester County by Justice Keogh and the Grand-jury. It re- lates to the question of personal tax dodg- ing. A presentment was filed severely scor- ing all the Westchester County Assessors, and several indictments were found. It was discovered that the county had been robbed systematically for years by neglect to assess personal property, and that only in three out of twenty-three towns of the county had there been a faithful compliance with the provisions of the law. It was made known that there was no uniform system of assessment, but that each official was a law to himself. The whole assessment of West- chester County, one of the richest in the United States outside of great cities, for 1896 is $97,612,000, of which $3,210,000, or only 3.3 per cent, is personal property. Yet in those towns where the law has been strictly enforced the ratio 6f personal property as- sessed reached 37 per cent. Good Work. From the Lexington (Mo.) Intelligencer.

It The significance in this demonstration we look up to as the Wagnerian high priest of America. It means that Wagner in some moods can stir the public—yes, and lift them to sublime artistic heights. It will not do to say he wrote “The Fiying Dutchman” be- fore he went crazy. The man who wrote Siegmund’s “Love Song,” “The Ride of the Valkyrie,” the Liebestod in “Tristan,” was not crazy, though they have the motive of divine frenzy. “The Flying Dutchman” is typically Wagnerian. Its prod on over half a century ago raised such a storm among the musical pharisees that the work was withdrawn and has since been sel- dom performed. The work belongs to the period that brought forth ‘“‘Tannhauser’ and “Lohen- grin,” the author’s most popular works. Meanwhile, advancing in a virgin field he pushed his art theories to an unconscionable limit. The result was “Tristan and Isolde,” the “Niebelungen Ring’? and “Parsifal.”’ “Die Meistensinger” is the transition work between the two epochs. The public has long been conscious, if Mr, Damrosch and his predecessors are not, that the three works of the first period are likable from start to finish, the works of the second epoch have to be taken largely on faith. They have beauties that no man with musi- cal appreciation can miss, but they are overcrowded with expression. To realize them entirely amounts to an artistic de- bauch. To utilize a colloquialism in a rev- erential sense a little of them goes a great way. When Mr. Damrosch and his con- freres realize this they can make the “‘Nie- belungen Ring” popular. , All this by way of preparation to inviting Mr. Damrosch to return to us next season, offering the best possible productions of the works of the first period and the ““Tril- ogy” in condensed form, Of course, Mr. Damrosch will throw up his hands at the suggestion of cutting Wagner. Sti]l Wagner is not more sacred than Shakspeare, and the immortal basd has been cut unmercifully for stage production and with no harm to the artistic proportions. Homer sometimes nods and by the same token Wagner often snores. Mr. Damrosch has cut his score and cut it freely during the week. Half of Wo- tan’s music is cut out of “Siegfried” and the “Gotterdammerung.” If the good work were pushed further the public might constitu- tionally be able to sit up with Mr. Wagner for several evenings in a week and have a little strength left to get enthusiastic. Fraulein Gadski put the climax last night on a week of artistic triumphs. Physically she is an ideal Senta. She caught the mystic keynote of the Norse girl’s character, and in note and action portrayed the maid who loved a man of dreams. During the song of the spinning maidens she sat a typical visionary, her gaze fixed on Vander Decken’s picture. Then she sang the song of the Dutchman in tones now hushed with awe when she sang of the black masts and the blood red sails, then sweet and strong with the shriek of the wind and ghrill with the fright and terror of the sea. She brought every emotion to her audience with her won. derful tone painting, then later warmed them with the soft love tones in which sh betrayed her ideal love, ' Gadski’s vocal resources were more fully displayed than at any previous performance, and the marvel of it was that she was sing- ing for the third time within the week. Carl Somer made an ideal Dutchman, and though he lacked the tremendous volume of others who have sung the role, he outdid them by interpreting a sharper impression of his spectral character. His singing was well phrased and true. Gerhard Steh- mann made an excellent Dalandé, while the orchestra and chorus added their quota to the most enjoyable performance of the week.

That old, old, and ever new theme, the love of a man and a maid, was pictured last night at the Olympic Theater by Mr. Wil- lard and his company. “The Professor's Love Story” has been seen here before, and even if it had not, it would hardly be neces- sary to give the argument. Most men know by experience, and all women know by in- tuition, what a love story is. J. M. Barrie wrote the play, and it hag the delicate humor, fine pathos and gentle realism char- acteristic of his productions. He doeg not write with a scalpel, digsecting humanity with swift, sure strokes after the Sardou style; he reveals phases of the mind and heart by @ process #0 gentle and insidious that one is hardly astonished and never of- fended by the revelation, yet the interest ts riveted as with steel. An illustration of this is in the strongest and most affecting scene In “The Professor's Love Story”’— where the veneer of distrust is stripped from Agnes Goodwillie’s heart by the dis- covery of an old letter showing that dead ‘love was true.

IN SPITE OF THIS A MAN IS HELD Whether Colley’s Blow Killed the Ne- gro or Not, Sergt. King Is Sus- pected of Negligence. ee The evidence at the Coroner’s inquest Saturday oh the body of Ree Wheaton, who died Thursday, revealed the fact that the negro received his alleged death blow while in the custody of Sergt. Robert King of the Central District. The testimony of a number of witnesses reflected severely upon the conduct of the Sergeant. It appears from their evidence that he had made no attempt “to protect the prisoner from violence beyond shouting at the negro’s assailants not to strike. Wheaton was porter of the White Oak sa- loon, at Seventeenth and Chestnut streets, and an iron poker was broken over his head on the morning of Feb. 14, by Joseph Colley, a white man. Colley and three companions entered one of the wine rooms over the sa- loon and made theniselves obnoxious to two of the occupants, who requested the porter to make them behave themselves. Colley and the porter had a quarrel, in which Colley was cut on the hand. The negro ran down Stairs and secured a revolver. Colley and his companions followed him, to renew the fight. Sergt. King, who had been summoned to the scene, disarmed the negro and arrested him. Colley made a rush for Wheaton and struck him several times and the negro struck back. Colley picked up the poker and struck Wheaton. breaking the iron bar into three plecex, Then Colley and a companion, according to the testimony of the proprietor of the saloon, forced Wheaton to the front of the salodn, where he tripped over a keg of beer and fell to the floor. His as- gailants continued beating him. Finally other men in the saloon succeeded in drag- ging Colley and his gang from Wheaton. Sergt. King testified. he had don@all in his power to protect Wheaton, but Yhat in the general scramble he was unable to do much good without resorting to his re- volver. Dr. Wolfert testified that Wheaton’s death was caused by pneumonia, and not by the blow upon the head. The skull was not fractured, and-the only sign of violent treatment was a slight scalp wound. In spite of this Colley was held responsi- ble for Wheaton's death, and -will be tried for killing a man who the physician de- clares fied by disease. e Coroner’s jury also held L. Felton, David Lennon, Charles Holmes and James Leonard, who were with Colley when the trouble happened, as accessories, IT PLEASES EVERYBODY. A Certain Cure for Piles. The Pyramid Pile Cure is a success be- cause it has the merit which brings suc- cess. It cures every form of piles and cures them to stay cured. It is now the most pope and best known pile remedy before the public, and one reason for its eat popularity is because it has taken the place of surgical operations, once considered the only sure cure. People often wonder that so simple a remedy will so promptly cure re an obstinate trouble as piles are well known to be. Yet the greatest remedies and greatest inventions we have are the sim- plest, and the fact that it does cure is all the sufferer from piles wantsto know. The Pyramid Pile Cure cutes piles in any stage of the disease, as shown by the following testimonial letters Which are published every week and new cxsesTe- ported cach time. From George C.

He Broods Over the Death of His Mother-in-Law, but Is Still Able to Yawp. CARSON, Nev., Feb. o74-Charley White and Billy Delaney met yesterday for the first time at Shaw Springs. After a long in- terview Corbett announced that White and Delaney would have absolute charge of his training, dictating his method of fighting, and be chief advisors in the ring. White will decide in a day or two just how the Californian shall fight the Cornish- man. White, who has the reputation of being one of the best judges of boxers, as well as the best of advisers, watched him closely through his exercise, both in the morning and in the afternoon, White trained Fitzsimmons when he was matched against Corbett two years ago and consequently knows something of his methods. He was very favorably impresstd with Corbett’s condition, and said: “In the style of training the two men are different. Fitzsimmons is methodical, while Corbett’s work varies and is of the gym- nasium order. Jim, I think, has the right idea. His exhibition of endurance, as dis- played through the medium of the hand ball game th.s morning, is the greatest I have ever witnessed. He tired out one man after another, after which he boxed Woods, Jef- fries and his brother Joe. Corbett’s style of box.ng with Joe was of a scientific order and showed the finished boxer. In his bout he gave a splendid exhibition of feint.ng and stepp:ng aside. He was active and his foot work was an agreeable surprise. “Corbett’s bout with Jeffries was of a slugging variety. They smashed at each Other good and hard at close range, but Jeffries only in. one instance got within hailing distance of Jim’s’ head, while the champion scored when and where he pleased. It was great exercise, and showed Corbett’s superior strength. “It,also proved conclusively that Jim can take good care of himself in a mix-up as well as at long range. The bout with Woods gave Corbett ample opportunity to hit good and hard, and that he took ad- vantage of the situation: goes without say- ing. The head, face and body protector is a great invention, and shows that Cor- bett is ever ready to adopt new ideas, The protector was a revelation to me, ““‘Woods’ showing also surprised me. He is faster and more clever than ever, and is just the man for Jim to cut loose on: Cor- bett’s sparring to-day consisted entirely of short-arm-work. He broke clean after every clinch, and made no attempt to hit on the breakaway, showing that he is pre- paring himself for any change of rules that may be decided upon. “Corbett's bag punching exhibition was very . good, His a of distance is great. He can dodge a blow by a smaller fraction and in better style than any- body I ever saw.” Everybody at Fitzsimmons’ training quar- ters is depressed at the news of the death of Mrs. Amy Julian, and the stout little manager has not yet got his brother-in-law fully started at his work. It is rumored that Fitzsimmons does not rest well, but lays awake thinking of his bereavement. Yet he did not wake up until nearly 9 o’clock yesterday morning. Fitz- simmons carried a piece of sponge between his lips and teeth while running yesterday, and thinks his experiment a decided benefit, as the sponge takes the rawness out of the atmosphere and prevents it aggravating the cold on his lungs He did not believe Corbett’s wind was as good as it was reported and expressed the opinion that a couple of punches in the Stomach will take the starch out of him, and if he got just one smash at Corbett’s head he would be satisfted. Fitzsimmons declines to discuss his re- cently raised objection to the rules which are to govern the battle. He says his ob- jection has been wrongfully construed as an indication of cowardice on his part in some respects and for. that reason he is going to stop talking. ‘They will find out on March 17 whether or not I am afraid of that dude with the pompadour,”’ said Bob, clenching his fists and shaking his head ominously. “I'll give them a little something to sing, mark me.”’ Dan Stuart is up and around in his room, direct'ng matters from this retreat. He is gratified over the demand for tickets for the big mill, and says there is no question —w anent the great amphftheater being packed, Work on the mammoth building is pro- gressing rapidly. Two of the sections of the octagon are already in position. and the lumber is on the ground for the others. A neglected cough may lead to consump- tion, therefore take Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. MR. BUNSEN IS SHARP. ~ If He Does Come From O’Fallon He Knows a Thing cr Two. A. D. Bunsen, a merchant of O'Fallon, Ill., arrested Robert Kohn on Broadway Saturday morning. Mr. Bunsen may not have had tthe authority, his man and hustled him up to police héad- quarters and turned him over to Chief Des- mond. Kohn comes from Chicago. He formerly was a traveling salesman for Mills & Hast- ings, and sold self-computing scales. He became acquainted with many country merchants, and after he left the firm he went over the territory again. He said he was still with Mills & Hastings and he had been sent out to inspect the scales. When he asked the merchants to cash a draft on his house they, as a rule, did not hesitate. He worked the game in many towns in Southern Illinois, it ig said. Mr. Bunsen is a member of the firm of Bunsen & McGeehon, in O'Fallon. Kohn obtained $28 from them. Mr. Bunsen tele- phoned to Belleville, Ill., and a warrant has been issued. ‘Kohn will be removed to that place Saturday if he will go without requ* sition papers. For Hoarseness and Sore Throat fhere is no better remedy than “Brown's Bronchial Trocheus.”’ MR. VROOMAN AND BRIDE. At Hotel Beers and He Won’: Discuss Their Ages. Rev. Walter Vrooman and his bride ar- rived from Baltimore at 9 o'clock Friday evening, and went to Hotel Beers, where they are receiving their friends. Mrs. Vrooman was Miss. Annie L. Graff- lin, daughter of the late Geo. W. Grafflin of Baltimore. The ceremony was performed at the bride’s residence, Thursday evening, by Rev. Dr. Weld of the Unitarian Church, of which denomination Mrs. Vrooman is a member. She and Mr. Vrooman became acquainted several years ago, when he was engaged in religious work in Baltimore. he wedding was @ very quiet one. Only the most intimate friends of Mr. Vrooman were aware that he contemplated commit- ting matrimony. Mr. Vrooman was shown the statement of a morning paper to the effect that his bride was ‘“‘old enough to be his mother,” being 46 years of age, as against his 28, but he declined to resolve himself into a sta- tistical bureau, and would make no state- ment a8 to the correctness of the report. His brother, Rev. H. C. Vrooman, says Mre. Walter Vrooman is older than her husband, but that there is no such dis- crepancy as the published statement indi- cated. “She may be somewhere in the thirties,” he said, “but she is not nearly 4." \ Mr. Vrooman was formerly Secretary of the Civic Federation, but is now mana 3 under the advice of Senator Jones, W. J. Bryan and Gov. Altgeld, the National Bu- reau of Volunteer akers of the Demo- cratic party.

George B. Swift Among the Indo of Paine's Celery Compound. Hon, George B. Swift,-Chicago’s reform Mayor, is one of the thousands who indorse the one great remedy that makes people well, where all other remedies either fail al- together, or at best simply give temporary relief. Judge Powers, Congressman Meredith of Virginia, Congressman Grout, Assistant United States Attorney John C, Capers, Chief Post-office Inspector M. D. Wheeler, Congressmen Bell and Neil, Lieut. McAl- lister, and many others who are fully as careful what they recommend, have pub- licly vouched for the marvelous power of Paine’s celery compound to make people well. These, and the thousands of other hearty testimonials that have recently been sent to the proprietors of Paine’s celery com- pound, are simply an index of what this mest wonderful remedy is doing in every State of the Union, and in every city and village. It is making people well! Men like these, who have won the confi- dence of their fellow citizens in the weight- lest affairs, and are jealous of their reputa- tions for sound judgment, having watched the splendid results from Paine’g@ celery compound in their owm families, and know- ing exactly the ig arg, effect that any sick person may expect from this great nerve-regulator and _ blood-purifier, are among the first to unhesitatingly and thankfully recommend the remedy to others for the public goed they may do. Says Mayor Swif® “The use of Paine’s cel- ery compound in my family has convinced me that it is a meritorious article.” Paine’s celery compound restores the nervous energy and regulates the system. It makes the blood pure and capabl of carrying an abundance of brain a nerve elements to the weakened parts, and is thus able to permanently rid the body of ral ’ Paine’s celery compou Dyspepsia, persistent headaches, and ~ ploy.

Carlsbad Water and the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt deserves to be placed in the first rank. “ All of the above writers agree with me that the use of the Carlis- bad Water exerts a very beneficial influence in Giabetes. I have, in the course of many years treated a very large number of patients suffering with the disease, and have, with great interest, noticed the effect of Carlsbad Water in reducing the amount of sugar.

He Says He Doesn’t Blame His Protes- tant Finance for Not Wishing to Deal in Catholic Futures. The marriage of Edward Corby and Birdie Doyle, which was to have taken place Thurs- day evening, but which was indefinitely post- poned on account of the differing religious beliefs of the principals, may yet take place. Mr. Corby has really been ill, and is not yet well enough to leave his home at 3810 Finney avenue. “I have not seen Miss Doyle since Wednes- day,”” said Mr. Corby, Saturday morning. when seen at his home, because I have not been able to leave the house, but I shall see her as soon as I can, and I hope that we can yet come to an understanding and be mar- ried. The only trouble between us is this matter of religion. I am a Catholic and she is a member of the First Methodist Church. I have to be married by a priest, of Bag dene or be excommunicated. She to he a priest perform the ceremony, provic there was a second ceremony by a Method clergyman. I agreed to this. The trouble came when Miss Doyle was asked to prom- ise that any children we might have should be reared as Roman Catholics. This she ab- solutely refused to do. ‘I do not blame her for her refusal, for ithe requirement is a hard one. It looks toc much like dealing in futures. But withou! the Aen de no priest would marry us. I had reli one between her and my family and re on.”’ ad I been a less strict Catholic I might have had a Protestant clergyman perform the ceremony, and then professed repent-j, ance and been received in the church, as I understand one gentleman of this city did recently. But I am too a Catholic anywise effective, every insurance company doing business in Louis last summer, practically bec practicability Of wre ge B icitors were admi managers, and it became company emplo the agents could at ber § T us being a oti oh cue tar = The second attem on more accep Se entitled to in October a cultehie-a by-laws were Owing to the ness it was further action ae year.

His vocabulary is very limited, and he is complete master of a style of English that is remarkably terse. “I would lke to see Miss Birdie Doyle,” said the reporter. “You can’t,” said Mr. Doyle. “T only want to see her a moment.” “You can’t.’ “Will you tell me why she was not mar- ried to Mr. Corby thet ga night? “I've nothing to say. ‘Is it Probable that the wedding will yet take place?’ “I’ve nothing to say.” “Do you expect Mr. Corby to call soon?” “I’ve nothing to say. : ; ‘Good morning.”’ ‘ 4 FIOPOMNCA 2.0. c cee eeeaces ntlemen cannot see can will be immedia mately, subserved, they de a Semi > “There is not another ci with halt the pretensions where one is more n cugire of more benefits. . “Fewer men are es en to-day in St. Louts ~ hw AR son and population than in any'@ oF should certaifily sistance to the Stations.

A 10 BE MAYOR, i eel EDWIN HARRISON’S SUPPORTERS SURE HE WILL WIN. NOONAN WORKING QUIETLY. » Capt. Joe Brown Criticised for Attack- ing Mr. Harrison Without Any Apparent Cause. a The Harrison movement overshadows all other Democratic’ mayoralty booms. That is the assertion made by the Harrison boom- ers, and they appear to be highly gratified over the prospects of easy success for their candidate. “Of course, it is but natural that some fool- ish criticism should be made against’ us as the heat of the campaign increases,”’ said a Harrison leader Friday, ‘‘but some opposing candidates are only injuring themselves by the course they are pursuing. “Now, there is Capt. Joe Brown. He is 4 good old fellow, and I haven't a word to say against him as a gentleman. But he has cer- tainly listened to some very foolish advice and oe burst into print with a long tirade against Mr. Harrison. He says Mr, Harri- son has always associated with millionaires, is now backed by several millionaires, be- longs to that class really himself, and there- fore can have no genuine sympathy for the laboring man. ; “Then the aged captain throws bouquets at himself, and fills his pockets with gum- drops of fulsome self-flattery about issuing ‘Brownbacks’ and thereby proving that he was a friend of labor, according to his view of things. NOM let Captain Brown take all the credit necessarily due for the issuance of those ‘Brownbacks;’ he has been elected to office on the strength of that cry already. But why should he begin a campaign of de- traction against other fair-minded and hon- est men who may oppose him for the May- oralty nomination? “Bdwin Harrison, as everybody knows, was at the front with his financia] and mor- al support for every great public enterprise that was inaugurated in St. Louis for years and years. His life has been wrapped up in a desire to further the prosperity of this great city. A score of commercial and educational and benevolent institutions have felt the impress of his personality. Is . man of this stamp an enemy of the peo- e? “Furthermore, is it a crime to be rich, or to have been rich? Capt. Brown himself talks of the days when he was rich, and must, therefore, be butting his own head against a stone wall of his own making. After all, it is the abuse of wealth that con- etitutes a majority of the crimes of wealth in this country. “The greatest friend a laboring man can have is a wealthy employer, who is just, kind, considerate and pays the highest wages. Such an employer was Edwin Har- rison during all the years that he was Pres- ident of the vast iron concerns in which his capital was invested.”’ e Harrison headquarters will be opened Saturday on the second floor of the build- ing southwest corner of Seventh and Olive streets, and will be in the immediate charge of Thomas E. Barrett, a member of the Democratic State Committee. Ex-Mayor Noonan is wise politically. He is not saying much. Neither are his lieuten- ants beating any tom-toms. About the only activity seen at his headquarters is the cheerful work of Phil Rohan, as he pulls the damp sheets of paper from a hekto- graph, and they are taken Wy a young man and folded and placed in stamped envelopes. These are letters sent to Democrats in all ee of the city, asking them ‘to support oonan for Mayor. P Noonan is having his wo vk done quiet- ly,’’ said one of his henchmen, “and he has his workers in every ward. These workers are men who know all the ins and outs of political management. They know how to carry delegations. Noonan is not doing any boasting himself; neither is he hampered by the blundering Democratic City Exec- utive Committee. Pat we do not claim to have a cinch on the nomination. Harrison is our strongest cpponent.”’ Lee Meriwether’s headquarters continue to be crowded with representatives of labor organizations. He is making arrangements by which he yopes to carry delegations in all] wards where the labor element is strong. At pt. Brown's headquarters in the Laclede Hotel everybody seems to be as biithesome as an old man with a young bride. Coon-hunting and politics are dis- cnssed interchangeably, and reminiscences years ago are recited with great oO. casionally an up-to-date claim is e, and one is that Capt. Brown has the organization in town, and even in Noo- man’s strongest wards Brown is then the second choice. ‘A SHOT FROM GEN. NOBLE. President Cleveland and Patriotic Deaf Mutes Compared by Him. Gen. John W. Noble adtiressed the St. Thomas Deaf and Dumb Mission at Christ Church Cathedral Friday night, Miss Pear] Herdman acting as interpreter. His sub- ject was “‘American Citizenship.’’ He gave a glowing account of the resources of the country, pointed out the duty of loyalty and patriotism of his hearers, and declared that the nation would protect its citizens under He was frequently interrupted by applause, some- what belated on account of the delay in the transmission of his thoughts through the “— language. ne of these outbursts moved Gen. Noble to remark in an aside: “If deaf mutes can hear of the wrongs to which our citizens abroad are subjected, and applaud sentiments favorable to their ye on, surely Grover Cleveland ought o hear.” Yellow Jacket Molasses Candy is the best on earth. 10c a box at your drug store. SUES HIS FORMER WIFE. William Settle, Just Here From Europe, ‘‘Wants His Presents Back.”’ Mrs. Annie Settle, who secured a divorce last December from Wilham Settle, alleg- ing among other things that her husband had another wife in Canada, is defendant in a suit by Settle in the Circuit Court Friday. Charles Dauerheim and wife are also defendant to the suit. The Settles lived in Franklin avenue, near Twenty-third street, and kept a general store. Settle visited England in the sum- mer of 189%, and it was during his absence, Mrs. Settle alleged, that she discovered the existence of another Mrs. Settle and eight little Settles in Canada. \ Mrs. Settle laid her allegations before the eee ee Absolutely Pure. e nst of adulteration com- ulness. and all f ah —_ authorities, but nothing resulted. She then filed suit retelling the whole story in her bill for divorce. When Settle returned to t. Louis a dispute arose over the property in Franklin avenue, enlivened by one or two sensattonal episodes. This property is the issue in the suit filed Friday. Settle all in a pecs on that he was induced on Aug. 8 by Mrs. Settle, while his mind was weakened through a paralytic stroke, to convey all his property to Charles Dauerheim and wife for $%. She then persuaded him to go to Europe for his health, the property to be reconveyed to him on his return. The Dauerheims con- veyed the property to Mrs. Settle, and while Settle was away, he alleges, she secured her divorce. Now she refuses to reconvey the property to him. The property consists of twenty-five feet of ground near Twenty- third street, and twenty-five feet near Twenty-fourth street, in Franklin avenue. and another lot near Twenty-third street and Franklin avenue, BRIDGE MONOPOLY BEGINS TO TOTTER. HOW BUSINESS MEN REGARD THE ALTON BRIDGE CUT. NOW FOR A TERMINAL SYSTEM. Prospects Good for Freight ‘Yard and Transfer Line This Side of the River. The cut in the Alton Bridge Company’s rates was still discussed with interest in business circles Saturday. Despite the state- ments of railroad men that the reduction of tariff was a comparatively small matter in its bearing on St. Louis trade, commercial men, as a rule, regard it as a signifigant step. ; While they do not hope to see the bridge arbitrary wiped out at once, they: believe the Alton Bridge Company’s action in re- ducing its tolls is the first step toward the crushing of the bridge monopoly. There is a general sentiment that the only thing now needed to make the bridge com- pany a strong competitor of the combine is an adequate terminal system on this side of the river. It is conceded even by railroad men that if the Alton Bridge Company were in a position to switch and deliver freight on the Missouri side, especially in St. Louis it would be possible to divert a great deal ot traffic from the other bridges. Business men believe two things would be required to make such a terminal system ef- fective. One ofthese would be a freight yard, within easy access of the St. Louis business center. The other requisite, accord- ing to merchants, would be a transfer line operating along the river front and having ample faciliti for door delivery and col- lection of wry oe . It was said Saturday that the Alton com- pany would certainly not stop at a cut in rates, but would take steps at once to make the building of terminals an assured fact. There was diversity of opinion as to how this would be done, but it was the general opinion that the Burlington line would cut an important figure in the matter. The Bur- lington yards in North St. Louis embrace a vast extent' of territory which is not in use. The statement of Burlington officials just after the announcement of the cut that they would have- ample terminal facilities for all goods consigned to them via the Al- ton bridgé is taken as an indication that the Burlington is prepared to go to the limit in caring for freight shipped over the Alton bridge. The other concerns whose names are be- ing connected with the enterprise are the Kansas City Land and Investment Com- pany and the Interstate Land and. Car Transfer Company. The Kansas City nd and Investment Company purchased an im- mense tract of ground, rere a, § forty- seven lots, almost adjoining the Burling- ton yards a /ittle more than a month ago. The motive of the purchase was hedged about with the greatest secrecy and little could be learned except that Edwards Whitaker, of the brokerage firm of Whit- aker & Hodgman, was one of the incor- porators of the Kansas City Land and In- vestment Company. Mr. Whitaker said at the time that ‘the land had been purchased simply as a speculative investment. Mr. Whitaker is a heavy stockholder in the Alton Bridge Company, and the confer- ence which led to the announcement of the cut in the company’s tolls was held at his office. Those in a position to know say that the ground purchased by the Kansas City Land and Investment Company wili be used as freight yards by the Alton Bridge Company.» There is said to be plenty of money behind the enterprise, and it is pre- dicted that work gn the new terminal will be begun in the early spring and rapidly pushed to completion. The Interstate Land and Car Transfer Co. is booked to provide transfer facilities from the new yarG&s'along the river front. The relations of the Interstate company and the Alton Bridge Co. have always been friendly. The Interstate company’s princi- pal connection on the east side of the river is the St. Clair, Madison & St. Louis Belt line which operates the Alton Bridge. Even before the cut in the bridge rates was an- nounced it was said in railway circles that the belt line would be extended to this side of the river and operated along the river front as a transfer line in connection with the Interstate Land and Car Transfer Co. President Kavanaugh of the Interstate company says his concern has no connection with the Alton Bridge cut, but does not deny that the company is taking steps to operate a transfer line on this side of the river. What truth there may be in these rumors it is stated positively that the Alton Bridge Co. wfll provide terminals for the roads operating over its bridge. Assistant Freight Agent G. S. Tyler of the Chicago & Alton says his statements rela- tive to the cut should not be construed as a a that the Terminal company’s present rates are excessive. He beileves the present charges are as low as they can afford to make. NIEDRINGHAUS STRIKE. Old Employes Steadfastly Refuse to Accept the Cut. The situation at the Niedringhaus tinnery was practically unchanged Saturday morn- ing. Green hands were running ten of the tin pots, while the strikers were still all out. They are as firm as ever in their declar- ation that they will not return to work for the wages offered by the company. Many of them are convinced, however, that there is no chance of securing the compromise schedule at which they are willing to return, and they are making preparations to find other places of em- ploymert. Some of them will go East, where St. Louis tin workers are said to be in demand. Others will remain here and seek other kinds of work. Meanwhile, they say, the Niedringhauses can get along as best they can with the novices they are now attempting to break in. It takes several months to learn the , mag so that even fair work can be one. There is almost a month’s pay due each man. They expect to get part of it at least Saturday afternoon, hose who expect to leave the city will thus be enabled to se- cure transportation and the others hope to tide themselves over until new jobs can be secured. Ready to Fight for Greece. The Greek colony in St. Louis met at 114' South Seventh street Friday night. The speakers were James Gallons, John Barlias, John Coutrumaney and George Condos. They denounced the attitude of the Powers toward Greece, especially that of Austria, France, Russja and Germany. Strong in- vectives were used in the handling of Tur- key. All present declared themselves ready to return to Greece in the event of war. Yellow Jacket Molasses Candy is the best on earth. 10c a box at your drug store. Death of a Heroic Father.

CHARLES SAYS IT Is A CERTAINTY. MUST BE DONE BY PETITION. Democrats Doubt That the Wall Street Crowd Is Strong Enough to Get on a Ticket. Goldbug Democrats of St. Louis who voted for McKinley for President, will now try to defeat the Democtatic party at the Mayor- alty election in this city. At least, such a course is under serious consideration by these Wall street sympathizers. : The Executive Committee of the so-called National Democratic Clubs met late Friday afternoon tn the office of Col. James O. Broadhead to discuss the advisability of putting a gold Democratic ticket-in the field in the city campaign. The meeting was a star-chamber affair. Those present besides Col. Broadhead were Walter B. Douglass, George J. Tansey, Benjamin H. Charles and Rolla Welle, President of the National Dem- ocratic Club. After some discussion it was agreed that the Executive Committee should further in- | vestigate the conditions and report at a meeting to be called next week, when it: would be decided positively whether to bring | out a gold ticket or not, “I can say now that the committee will decide to bring out a ticket for all the city offices from Mayor down,” said Benj. H. Charles to a Post-Dispatch man Saturday morning. “The sentiment of the committee is for a ticket of our own. Will we hold a convention? I can’t say as to that. We may nominate our cand'date tn a mass conven- tion. But I am satisfied that a gold Demo- cratic ticket will be placed in the field some way. “We have been asked why we don’t pick out the bést men on the other tickets to vote for, as many of us voted for McKinley and could vote for Republicans again, but we have come to the conclusion that we must make a fight for our own princi- ples on our own platform. The gold Demo- cratic organization is not ron-partisan; it is not a Civic Federation affair to indorse candidates of any party. We have decided not to vote for other people any longer, but to vote for ourselves. “Who will be our candidate for Mayor? Well, Sam Kennard is talked of more than any other gold Democrat. I think Rolla Wells is frequently mentioned, and so is R. Graham Frost.” When told that a goldbug Democratic ticket would have no earthly show of being elected, and would only serve to pull votes away from the regular Democratic ticket, Mr. Charles smiled like a villain in a Dutch drama. and replied: ‘Well, the goldbugs in the Democratic party propose to make a fight whenever and wherever they can make their force felt.’’ That was almost an admission that the only purpose for running a Wall street Democratic ticket is to stab the regulor By Re at 6 a ral Stat‘'on ; é rhe ae 4 ae oP & ve the 20%: , ’ brought to [ing tdtion convinced’ ¥ ees she as 6 yatta ~~ in, _"
