Moore, Chief of the Weather Bu- reau, has issued the following special bulle- tin: “The crost of the flood wave is still at Cairo, which shows a etationary gauge reading of 51.6 feet for the past four days. There is great danger yet to come from the flood in the region from Helena south- ward to New Orleans. The river will con- tinue to rise for at least ten days in the re- gion from Helena southward to Vicksburg, and to rise during a longer period from Vicksburg southward. : “Tf no break occurs before, levees will be Subjected to the greatest strain about April 10, in Southeast Arkansas, Western M'ssis- sippi and in Louisiana. Should the levees break the result will be one of the most dis- astrous floods ever known. ther conditions nos Maicate an ad- onal heavy rainfall in the Middle and Lower Mississippi Valleys, which will ma- terially intensify the flood conditions. Those living in districts overflowed in former years should be on the safe side and transfer stock and movable property to places of known safety while there is yet time. WILLIS L. MOORE, “Chief of Bureau.“ Special to the Post-Dispatch. GREENVILLE,, Miss., March 29.—A 500- foot break in the levee at Avon, Miss., seven miles south of here on Lake Lee, occurrea at U o'clock last night. The break at this hour is widening rapidly, and will be a full quarter o f a mile wide before night. Water ts pouring through the crevasse at @ terrific rate, and rapidly filling up the low country. Reports from the interior are distressing. Live stock are drowning in great numbers, and people are flying. ‘panic-stricken, for their lives. This break will entirely overflow the lower half of ‘Washington County and all Issaquena County. It is in one of the rich- est spote of the valley and damage to prop- erty will be inculculable. Rumors of dan. gerous places all along the line of the levee Are coming in hourly and further breaks are - imminent. An alarm from the levee in front of the city has just been sounded and every able- bodied man and youth is hurrying to the rescue. The distressing condition now ex- isting in this great valley cannot be ade- quately described. The river continues to Seven months ago she met Wilbur Bush, head sawyer at a mill in Greenville, Mo. On the 18th of March they were married, and started East. The next day Bush got drunk and left her. He had secured pos- session of what little money she had saved and took that with him. Mrs. Bush has not heard from him since. A few days ago she received a letter from Bush's mother at Winona, Minn. From her she learned that Bush had a wife and two children living at Winona. A friend in St. Louis wrote Mrs. Bush that Bush was seen in this city on the 2ist. She determined to come, and, if she could find him, see that he was punished. She had no money and was compelled to apply to the police for aid. Mrs. Breen ad- vised the young woman to return to her home in Virginia and recommended that she call on Mayor Walbridge for ald. Mrs. Breen says that Mrs. Bush is a wom- an of refinement and has excellent letters from numerous people in Grandin, where she lived four years. Mrs. Bush returned to Mrs. Breen at noon and was disconsolate. Her trip to the Mayor was barren of results. She was cry- ing bitterly when a Post-Dispatch reporter saw her. “I was outrageously treated in the Mayor's office,“ she said. I do not know that it was the Mayor I saw. I heard some one call ‘him ‘Sergeant.’ He was impatient when I entered and he spoke uncivilly to me. When I told him my condition he said he had nothing for women like me. ' „ou are strong and healthy looking,’ he said, Why don’t you try to get work. We have more poor of our own to care for thee we can attend to. You are no. better e * r told him I would gladly work if ‘I could, I did not have a cent and knew not which way to turn. He. said he had no time to look at my letters and that they were no better than blank paper to him. He said he had no time to spare in looking into my affairs and ordered me from the room. I was never treated in so uncivil a manner before. “Now I am more despondent than ever. Mrs. Breen says her orders will not allow her to give me shelter to-night and I do not know what will become of me.“ REV. DWIGHT L. MOODY. His Revival Meetings Open in Chicago on Tuesday. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, March 29.—The arrival is ex- pected this afternoon of Rev. Dwight L. Moody, the famous evangelist, who inau- gurates a four-days’ series of meetings at the Auditorium to-morrow.

He Murdered the Boyds, Father and Son, in Kentucky. MAYSVILLE, Ky., March N. - Amos Riggs, who murdered young Boyd and his father near Mount Gilead last week, has been captured by the Ohio authorities. Riggs was arrested at the home of a rela- tive in Felicity, O., and was taken com- ergy by surprise. He was heavily arined ut offered no resistance. He brought to Maysville for trial. timent is strong against Riggs. sadly cripple brickmaker and contractor, and has been in St. Louis six months, but has not en- gaged in any business. He roomed at 2102 Olive street with his brother Albert and his young wife. Bailey said he wanted to die simply be- cause there was nothing to live for. He had been separated from his wife for more than a year. He never did love her, he said, and married in a moment of pique. The woman he loved was a Decatur, III., girl. They quarreled and he went to California, where he married. His wife learned of his attachment for the Illinois girl and a sepa- ration followed. Bailey returned to Illinois and found his first love unmarried. He wanted her to come to St. Louis, but she knew of his marriage and refused. He divided his time between this city and Decatur, and Satur- day, after seeing the Decatur woman, whose name he refused to divulge, he decided to die. He bought a bottle of morphine and swallowed most of the contents. At 1 o’clock this morning the knocked at his brother’s door and told him what he had done. Albert took the bottle from him and had him sent to the City Hospital, where he was treated. There is a chance for his recovery. A reporter called at 210 Olive street Mon- day. Albert Bailey was not at home and his wife, Ella, to whom he had been mar- ried but four months, said she knew little regarding her brother-in-law's movements. She knew he had a wife living in California and that his parents lived in Decatur. She knew nothing of his attachment for a wom- an in that place. He had plenty. of money and never seemed despondent until Sunday hight. Her husband never talked to her of his brother's affairs. Her husband is a painter and glazier. WHITE RIBBONERS An Appeal for Financial and Other Help Issued by Miss Willard and Associates. Special te the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, March 29.—Over the signature of their Presiderit, Miss Frances E. Wil- lard, the white ribboners’’ of the country to-day issued an appeal to the press and public of America for sympathy and co- operation, moral and financial, The ad- dress, which would fill two columns of a metropolitan newspaper, is largely histori- cal, and descriptive of the present work of the movement. It says that there arse a quarter of a million white ribboners in the United States, with a direct following of as many more, to say nothing of the children and male helpers. The kernel of the appeal is found in the closing para- aph, which sets forth that, notwithstand- fn the ares membership, the work is for lack of means, and that the need of funds is not only imperative, but immediate. The membership receipts of the National Christian Temperance Union last year were in the neighborhood of $28,000, or about U cents per head for the quarter of a mil- lion white ribboners. Miss Willard and her colleagues appeal to Christians, patriots and lovers of humanity everywhere, in the name of their motto, For God and home and native land.“ to aid them in their work, either by means of memberships, subscrip- tions or bequests.

An amendment was adopted placing a duty of one dollar a ton on baux- ide not refined, the Republicans stating that Georgia and Alabama demanded protection for it. There was a sensational scene in the after- noon when Mr. Johnson of Indiana pro- tested against taking the time of the House in irrelevant discussion.

Favorable Report on the Anti-Kineto- scope Bill. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 29.—Senator Hoar from the Judiciary Committee to-day reported favorably the bill to prevent the use of kinetoscopic exhibitions of prize fights in the District of Columb‘a or the Territories. It also prohibits mailing of prize fight pictures or their receipt from common carriers. Heavy penalties are pro- vided. The Senate adopted a resolution making $260,000 immediately available for the im- provement of the Mississippi River from the head of the passes to the mouth of the Ohio River. APPOINTMENTS. Tower of Pennsylvania Gets the Aus- trian Mission. WASHINGTON, March 29.—The President sent the following nominations to the Sen- ate: Charlemagne Tower of Pennsylvania, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni- tentlary of the United States to Austria- ungary. Anson Burlingame Johnson of Colorado, to be Consul the United States at Fu- chan, China. William Shallenberger of Pennsylvania, to be Second Assistant Postmaster General. Thomas Ryan of Kansas, to be First As- sistant Secreta of the Interior.. Henry Clay vans of Tennessee, to be Commissioner of Pensions. To be Registers of Land Offices, David C. Fleming of Colorado, at Sterling, Colo.; Wat. Theodare Beall of Colorado, at Lead- ville, Colo. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 29.—Kansas captured the First Assistant Secretary of the Interior to-day. Thomas Ryan, ex- Consul to Mexico, was the fortunate one. The nomination of Charlemagne Tower as Minister to Austria breaks the slate made up last week and leaves Col. Fred D. Grant out in the cold. This is said to be due to the anxiety of the President to keep Senator Quay in touch. — * ATKINSON WILL WIN. Bittinger Declines to Accept the St. Joe Postmastership. Special to the Post-Dispatch WASHINGTON, D. C., March 29.—Maj. John L. Bittinger called on the President to-day and told him that he was not a can- didate for Postmaster at St. Joseph and could not accept if nominated. Maj. Bittin- ger reached Washington yesterday noon. He came to stop the campaign in his favor and to urge upon the President the political ex- ediency of naming Frank Atkinson, the neumbent. It is almost certain that Atkin- son will win. The presence of Maj. Bittin- ger is practically sure to result in Atkin- son's appointment and a turning down of the Filleyites. The Filley men have made the 1 — blunder of bitterly opposing Maj. Bittinger, who was first suggested for the place by the President himself. This mistake will end in the turning down of Crowther, the defeat of Albus and the dis- crediting of rr Doktor Bartholdt at the White House. Ex-Congressman Crowther and Congress- man Bartholdt called at the White House thie morning, the one to urge his own ap- pointment and the other to enter ars lein and serious protest” against Maj. Bittinger. Ireland’s Influence. ASHTNOTN. D.

Jackson and Walling Didn’t Think They Would Hang. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CINCINNATI, O., March 29. — Death- watch Murray, who was with Jackson and Walling during their last hours on earth, made a startling statement Monday morn- ing. Mr. Murray says that it is an abso- lute fact that neither Jackson nor Walling 12 they were to be hanged, maintain- ing that belief even after the black-cap had been drawn over their heads. He says that they took the entire affair to be a bluff to secure from them a confession, 18 But a few hours before their execution Walling told Murray that they could not fool him with preparations for hanging, for he knew it to be only a method to extract from them a confession of the crime. Mr. Murray says that accounts for the brave manner in which the two men met death and for the boldness with which they greet- ed friends during the morning of the execu- tion day. i Murray gives, as further evidence of the fact that they did not believe they were to hang, the fact that but three days before the fatal day Walling engaged Murray in conversation concerning his futufe life and plans. Mr. Murray intimates that a lot of public officials over the river know more of the affair than appears on the surface. STEAM FITTERS OUT. Combination Strike and Lock-Out at New York. NEW YORK, March 29.—A strike of the steam fitters in the city, in Which between 30,000 and 60,000 men way be involved, was declared to-day when over 1,100 steam fitters refused to go to work in their shops. The strike is the result of a practical lockout on the part of the bosses. The latter an- nounced on Saturday that the agreement hitherto existing between themselves and their employes would no longer be con- sidered and those who wished to report for work this morning must sign new rules. The een, however, refused to sign and so the strike is on, The larger firms where the lockout and , 200; Blake & Williams, 100; Morrison & Johnson, 100; Wells & Newton, 100.

The walls and ceilings are not finished, but in other respects the offices present an attractive appearance. There are separate offices for Chairman G. W: Jones and Sec- retary Saunders and beyond these a meet- K room for the board. he space for Chief Clerk E. J. Watson and Clarence Hoblitzelle and the score of clerks is ample. All the business of the board was done at the new quarters Monday. Excise Commissioner Higgins also re- moved Monday from the old office occupied by Col. Bell to a more suitable one at 106 North Twelfth street. MAY BE RETROACTIVE. Plan to Make the Tariff Bill Take Ef- fect April 2. WASHINGTON March 29.—The proposi- tion which has been discussed by the Re- publican members of the Ways and Means Committee since they began work on the tariff bill, that all goods imported after a certain date, before the enactment of the bill, shall be made to pay the duties carried by the bill, is Lkely to n into den- ite form. It is possible, if not probable, that an amendment will be made to the bill in the House to effect this purpose, and April 2 is the date on which it is proposed that the Dingley bill rates shall go into effect. The question has been investigated by a sub-committee, consisting of Messrs. Dal- zell of Pennsylvania, Tawney of Minnesota and Gresvenor of Ohio. r have con- sidered the legal aspects of the plan very carefully and bare obtained opinions from lawyers who are said by them to be high authorities, to the effect that the plan is constitutional. They have not drafted an amendment yet, but one of them said to- day that they will prepare an amendment which will declare, in substance, that all imports made on and after A 2, 1897, shall be dutiable at the rate finally fixed b the bill. This amendment will be introduce to-day or to-morrow, the members of the sub-committee said, and they asserted that it will be passed by the solid Republican vote of the House. The Republican mem- bers of the committee have not definitely decided upon the plan, however, and it is possible that they may not carry out the proposals of the sub-committee. Col. L. C.

People are beginning to realize that the country is doomed to an overwhelming dis- aster. Everywhere business is at a stand- still’ and the levees from one end to the other are lined with toiling Men, struggling to keep out the impetuous flood. Electric light wires are being strung along the line for several miles above and below here to-day to aid the night work. ALTON, III., March 29.—The water in the Mississippi has not yet risen to such a height as to cause alarm here. Opposite Alton the water has spread out over some fields, but this is almost of yearly occur- rence. The water is stationary, but a rise is expected and with about five more feet the danger line will have been reached. — MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 29.—The over- flow reports ard not encouraging to-day to those fighting the waters. From a local standpoint all is serene, but reports are fly- ing thick and fast as to breaks below Helena. The levee at Wayside, Miss., nine miles above Greenville, gave way shortly after midnight last night, This was confirmed this morning by a subsequent telegram. * 1 f * Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 9. — The Senate this afternoon passed the joint reso- lution offered by Senator Caffery appropria- ting $250,000 for dmmediate work upon the Mississippj below the mouth of the Ohio. There Was no objection to the reso- lution after Senator Caffery had explained the urgency of the case. The relief meas- ure now goes to the House. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CAIRO, III., March 29.—The last of Cairo’s relief boats sent South last week got in last night. She rescued twenty families and any amount of stock, but left a far greater number of families in peril because they could not be induced to leave their homes. They were on the roofs of houses, around which they had built railings and hoped the river would stop rising before it reached their perches. One family was brought here consisting of parents and four boys, the latter bare- footed and the husband sick with pneu- monia. The people here are providing for them. The river is falling here. ST. PAUL, Minn,, March 29.—The water in the Mississippi rose here 0.2 of a foot in the 4 hours ended this morning, when the gauge recorded 10.1 feet. At the same hour La Crosse recorded 8.8 feet, a fall of 0.1. The heavy snow has been going off so gradually that fears of a heavy flood have about subsided, except in one or two locali- ties, where gorges or other local conditions brought about high water. The gradual melting of the snow is causing much mois- ture tao sink into the ground, promising well for thé crop season. QUINCY, III., March 29.—The Mississippi keeps its record of the past week at this point and another rise is registered, mak- ing the stage 15 feet above low water mark. Thousands of sightseers line the river banks and bluffs to see the muddy water which has submerged all of the islands and stretched back over the Missouri bottoms for a distance of several miles, with only the tops of trees and partly submerged houses visible here and there to mark the former places of abode of thrifty farmers.

Ark., March 29.—The situation here to-day is worse than ever before. The river rose 2% inches in the last 24 hours and a stiff gale has been blowing almost without a moment's cessation since 8 o'clock last night. Mayor Fritzon issued a proclamation this morning reciting the desperate nature of the conditions and calling upon all able- bodied men and boys to secure spades and put themselves under the commanders and elevate the levees. The proclamation met with prompt and hearty response and at this moment 500 or 600 men are working on the levees. while many others are at the hills, filling a long line of wagons with dirt to be conveyed to the weakest points. The levees are in ex- cellent shape considering the long siege and the heavy wind, and the knowledge that the river is to rise for several days longer has nerved every man for the most desperate fight ever seen in this country. Capt. Nolty of the rescue boat Titan re- ports another break. It is at Wood Cottage Landing, a mile and a half above Knowl- ton’s. The break was 500 feet wide yester- day as the Titan passed there, although it occurred late Saturday afternoon. This break will put all the country not already inundated under water down tq Laconia, and Capt. Nolty thinks there is little doubt that that magnificent body of land will also be deluged. The break in the levee at La- conia is already in a precarious condition. Here at Helena hope is strong, but -a desperate fight is being made all along the line. To-day the entire front will be raised from one to two feet, making the levee from four to five feet higher than it was when the flood commenced, Many proffers of assistance have been received, but Hel- ena feels that she is able to take care of herself and the stricken ones who apply to her for shelter. More tents are due here to-day, and more refugees are coming from every point of the compass. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 29.—Col. Gillespie, President of the M‘ssissippi River Commission, has telegraphed Gen.

CANBA, March 29.—During the attack up- on Igzidin, near Apokevena, the verges fired upon Christians, and in aid of the Turkish garrison. One of the correspondents of the London Times, who was present during the fighting at Malaxa, was captured by the Cretans and held as a spy. He probably would have been shot but for the opportune ar- rival of an American journalist and the in- surgent leader, Manos, an old Oxford man, who is at the head of a band of youn Cretans, whom he personally equipped. Manos was the first to enter the blockhouse when the Turks evacuated it, and he pre- valled on the 1 to spare the lives of forty-three Turkish prisoners. It is reported that the bombardment by the international fleets on Friday wrought serious havoc among the Christians.

NEW YORK, March 29.—The Sun has the following cablegram from Havana: There is great alarm in Havana on ac- count of the signs of insubordination and discontent shown by the Spanish troops. The army has not been paid for seven months. Weyler has given orders to prevent a mutiny, keeping the troops as much as possible out of the towns. The constant — we yy of Spanish victories recently and the official declaration that the campai is nearing its end are inspired by the desire to stimulate a confidence in the army. It is said that the crew of the gunboat Dependiente has deserted to the insurgents, after having burned the gunboat and se- cured the arms and ammunition on board. An engagement is reported at Aroyas, Pinar de io, in which Col. Martinez was utterly routed by the Cubans. The place of landing of the ex ition of Roloff was near Banes in the ovince of Santiago de Cuba. The cargo of 6,000 rifles, 3,000,000 cartridges and two 12-pound Hotchkiss guns was safely delivered to Gen. Garcia. The landing of this expedition is a big blow to the Government, as it is said that Garcla was only waiting for more artillery before moving against the fortified towns in the Orient. SPECIAL COMMISSIONER. President McKinley Has Decided to Send One to Cuba. NEW YORK, March 29.—A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: President McKinley has definitely decided to send a special commissioner to Cuba. The President has in view a close personal friend and a man of considerable legal — . 7 in whose judgment Mr. McKinley has the greatest confidence. The specific object of the special com- misstoner’s visit to Cuba will be to take part in the intended investigation of the alleged murder of Dr. Ruiz, an American citizen. Consul General Lee has absolutely refused to join in this investigation on the ground that he is convinced the Spanish Government will not conduct a fair inquiry, and that the decision of the commission will be a “‘whitewash"’ for the officials con- nected with Ruiz’s death. THREE EXPEDITIONS. Men, Arms and Ammunition Safely Landed in Cuba. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 29.—Within the last ten days three expeditions have landed safely in Cuba. The steamship Lau- rada passed the Delaware capes late Satur- day night, and is on her way here. It is alleged that the Laurada carried a large ex ition to the struggling patriots. Shs left Baltimore more than a month ago, and was for several weeks lost to e world. The cargo consisted of 3,300 Win- chester rifles (Mauser calibre), 000 ma- chetes, 4% revolvers, thirty tons of chem eals for the manufacture of . uncotton and dynamite, and full uni- fo rms. The Bermuda has also landed a cargo and a score of men on the Southern Coast of Santa Clara Province.

March 29.—The committee ap- pointed by the Chamber of Deputies to consider the question of prosecuting Depu- ties Naquet, Henri Maret and Antide Boyer for complicity in the Panama scan- dal has decided to authorize the prosecu- tion. Suppose, for instance, that you go into a store and ask for Hood's Sarsaparilla. You want Hood's, because you are convinced it is the best Sarsaparilla in the market. You know it has been in constantly grow- ing demand, as a remedy for impure blood, for more than twenty years. You know it is a staple, standard medicine. Hence you want Hood's. But the dealer tells you that he puts up a Sarsaparilla which is Just as good” as any, and he can sell it to you for less than Hood’s. Or he may ask the same rice, and declare that it is better than ood's. Both of thése assertions are prob- ably false, and the real secret of the per- tinacity of the dealer is that he can make a few cents more on a bottle of his own preparation than he can make on Hood's. The wrong consists not so much in this, bad as it is, as in the violation by the dealer of the rights of his patron. This is called „Substitution.“ and it is a growing evil. The only remedy is for the purchaser to insist on his rights, and if one dealer will not serve him fairly, let him go to another who is more honest and more sensible. TO THE SUPREME COURT. Affairs of the Joint Traffic Association Will Be Carried. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 2.—Chauncey M.

Necessa- ry to a choice, No election. Several pairs were announced. There was no telling which way the cat was going to jump this morning. The Sen- atorial situation had not changed for the better. The managers of the Combine“ say that matters are reaching a climax and that Gov. Bradley’s name will be put for- ward and that he will be voted for during the first two or three days of the week. The overtures of peace that have been made by Dr. Huntér’s friends to Gov. Brad- ley have been declined by the latter, who is ouoted as saying the election of Hunter would disrupt, disorganize and ruin the Re- publican party in Kentudky.

N 2 to her work, It is en- rtair and interesting and appeals cibly to the sympathies, but bits of it are wn and the characters and situa- : recall several other plays. The story 1 about the degeneracy of Elisha Cun- i a speculator. He loses his fortune and becomes a wreck, physical and mental. A banker, who loves Cunningham's eldest G@aughter, and a French Count, who loves her sister, manipulate the market so that the man who ruined Cunningham is made to grovel before the old speculator and beg for mercy, which he doesn’t get. Cunning- ham dies in the hour of his triumph, but his wife and daughters believe he is asleep andi the curtain falls, leaving them happy. One curious feature of the play is that the only two male characters who have both polish of manner and force of character are of foreign birth. The Americans are several city men, nervous and snobbish or unscrupu- lous, and one countryman, vigorous and kizrid-hearted, but distressingly loud. They are all types, but each is slightly exagger- ated. Mr. Crane, as Elisha Cunningham, does an admirable bit of character acting, though, on account of the exigencies of the play, he sometimes draws dangerously near the line that divides farce and comedy. He does no more to make the play a success than the members of his company. Right here is a good place to thank Mr. Crane for the integrity with which he discharges his obligations to the public. He employs men and women who know their business and he does not undertake to be the whole show. The smallest part in “A Fool of Fortune’ is presented with as much care and intelligence as the most prominent. The work of the company last night was as good as anything either the Empire Theater Steck Company or the John Hare organiza- tion did during its St. Louls engagement. Higher praise could hardly be given. Boyd ‘Putnam as the good banker, Edwin Arden as the French Count, William Boag as the countryman, Percy Brook as a nervous broker and George F. Devere as an un- ‘gcrupulous operator take as good care of their roles as Mr. Crane does of his. Miss Effie Shannon and Miss Kate Lester do commendable work, but Miss Dallas Tyler gets the lion's share of the honors accorded the female contingent. Her role is a smal] one, but she is as sparkling as a bottle of champagne and as refreshing as a day in the country. * When Harry Smith and Reginald De Koven went hunting for new comic opera territory they should have tried Kam- schatka or the South Sea Islands. Unfortu- nately these are the only virgin fields in their particular line of endeavor. They tried to get out of the way of the “Mikado” and “The Geisha“ by locating The Man- darin“ in China, but the compromise is transparent and Fred Dangerfield’s Japan- ese scenery completes the disillusion. Now, the South Sea Islands are full of possibili- tles for scenic display. Chorus girls could trip about in tropical scantiness. The rank luxuriance of the forests would furnish the ecenic artist opportunities. Then, too, we wouldn't care for characteristic music. All this by way of a hint to the perpetrators of "The Mandarin.“ The latest effort of the composers of “Robin Hood” represents the lowest etage in their artistic disgression. The book is void of humor or incident. Mr. De Koven's lyrics are smooth, but lacking in originality and vivacity. There are sev- eral dismal attempts at Oriental music, but the audience liked best the familiar waltz refrains that Mr. De Koven writes with t facility. A worse opera than “The Fare, would be made entertaining by | the clever artists at the Century. Bertha Walzinger has the most remarkable voice on the comic opera stage. She is the fore- most of a fresh-voiced corps of singers, among whom pretty Helen Redmond and Gainty Belle Harper are conspicuous. Henry Norman and Joseph .Sheehan take good care of the melodic resources on the male side of the house.

The jeans are light been expected, the mercury dropped and the 400 or 600 men and four women who went out to New Sportsman’s Park to see Von der Ahe's men limber up in a the reserves, shivered like a tenderfoot with a bad case of buck ague. It was the first time Dowd’s team had en- ‘gaged in a real game this season, and the | cranks evidently felt the contest, no matter how one-sided the result, was sure to be And worth witnessing, if for no other reason than to get a line on the new material in the club, ‘ Two catchers, two pitchers, and a third and first baseman were the strangers in- troduced, With the exception of Hill and Fuller, the longest man ever seen at the first corner anywhere, the importations made a fairly good showing. The game was all One way and the Browns were vic- tors with a nine-inning score of 11 to 2. Tommie Dowd opened his first semi-official work by making a wonderful stop of a high liner over second base. He fielded around second in a surprising way and batted when and where he pleased. Hartman, the new man from Milwaukee, showed himself a slugger, though he was a trifle off at stopping grounders and throw- ing from third to first. Andy Fuller played first all right. So far as fielding his position in the scrub game went, but he was lamentably weak with the stick. Once he struck out, and once he was called out on strikes, and the best licks he could put forth were puny grounders inside the diamond, To look at this stretched-out specimen of humanity one would expect great 3 of him as a first baseman, He s slim of legs, though muscular, active pulling down high arms and big hands make him a good thing to throw at. He is lx feet, two inches in height and hasn't any extra fat on him anywhere. His manner of lay is ~ gor g reminder of Tommie ucker, of the stons. It is Von der Ahe’s intention to have him supplant the veteran ty Me Conner as the regular first baseman if ller shows up as a capable man. To be sure Sunday’s game was of the va- cant lot order, and those who went to see it expected it would be. There were other conditions to hamper the work of the play- ers aside from the fact that it wae their first regular game for six months. The chilly weather with a stiff breeze from the east, and the still unthawed grounds with occasional mounds here and there neglected by the roller, must be considered as well as stiff 4 and arms, and tender palms. Hence it is absurd and unfair to take the individual performance of a man in a game like Sunday’s as any harbinger of the work he will do in league games. Fuller may develop into a slugger of the Burkett va- riety, and Hartman may prove himself an- other hole at third, and as weak a hitter as Monte Cross was last year. Cross, by the way, got in a couple of hits Sunday, but spoiled the admiration that was chunked at him from the grand stand by striking out just when he shouldn’t have done 60, e fielded in good form, though. Von der Ahe put in Roy Evans to pitch the first five innings. Evans is the Kansas 8 who pitched on the Lynchburg, a., team last season. He looks more like an Indian than Pat Tebeau’s Soxalexis, who is the real article. Evans has a good, speedy ane ball which appears to be his mainstay. It was effective against the Re- serves, but it is something of a prob- lem that the big League batters won't find him easily. Evans knows the me thor- oughly, and backs up the inflelders well, at bat gives promise of hitting the ball as well as the average box-man. Hill, the other new pitcher discovered 2 in the backwoods by Mucken- uss, was tried in the last four innings. If in jumping around an throws, and his lon least made fun for the crowd. But fun is not what St. Louls ball patrons want. They can have enough of that with the Louisville team. Mr. Hill won't do, if h work Sunday is the best he can fford, who caught Evans, and who worked with Hill, had no call to show their metal. Clifford made one bad throw to second, but he handles himself behind the plate like a man who had the right sort of atuff in him. The score and sum- mary: BROWNS RESERVES.

ANOTHER NEW TRACK RUMOR. Schreiber and Others Said to Be Fig- uring on the Grounds. St. Louis is to have a new mile race track to be run under the Turf Congress rules. At least that is the story that is being circulated among the pool-rooms and local sporting resorts. Back of the scheme are Cella and Sippy, the owners of the “Merry Glen“ stable; Alec Ullman, one of the wealthiest of local horsemen, and who put up $90,000 cash for the n at the Fair Grounds last year; m Adler, chief owner of South Side Park, Dore Silver and others. In addition to these Barney Schreiber, one of the best known horsemen in the West, is said to be at the head of the scheme. Charlie Spink is authority for the state- ment that Schreiber is at the head of the new enterprise. “Schreiber has long wanted to own a track here and he is working this scheme through,“ said Mr. Spink. The promoters are negotiating for ground just west of Tower Grove Park and the new track will be in that vicinity.” Barney Schrelber is with his racing sta- ble at Ingleside, but his representatives here denied some cays ago, When a rumor was started that arney was olng to bulld a track, that such were his inten- Secretary Muckenfuss declared in loud in texture and shade, and, as might have ame with he didn't pitch in phenomenal form he at a: rot tanton, G 16 in the Derby Mond down on erges to a man. dod colt is credited with a mile in 1.45. he local rail-birds pick Burlesque as the best of these two with Arlington having 2 good chance.

TWO HOT BOXING BOUTS. will, hereafter, play with the One Three and One Twenty-Round Mill in South St. Louis. A good-sized crowd of sports saw two hotly contested fights pulled off Sunday af- ternoon in South St. Louis. Ritchie and McFarland, bantams, and McAuliffe and Riley fought to a finish for purses. The first go was between the bantam- weights and resulted in a draw, both men be- ing ＋ their feet at the end of the twentieth round. The other mill was a hot one, the fighting being fast and furious. Both men were — punished, but Riley ended matters by putting MaAuliffe out in the third round. Lanky Bob Was Arrested. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 29.—Fitz- simmons and Julian were arrested Saturday — by a 8 sheriff on the charge of attempting to defraud their creditors. The trouble grew out of an alleged contract for Fitzsimmons’ appearance in Mtlsic Hall. The amount involved was 5240. Fitzsimmons aid the claim later and proceeded on his ourney.

St. Paul, Indianapolis and Minneapolis will follow for three games each. President Hart of the Chicago Club has returned home from that mysterious In- dianapolis comfab with Brush and the two Robisons. All he would say concerning the rumor that the Cleveland team was to be transferred to Indianapolis was: “It is cer- tain that if Sunday ball is discontinued in Cleveland the Robisons will take some ac- tion in the matter.“ The be-speckled Muckenfuss has set his South Carolina brain-matter at work and has figured out that the Browns are bound to finish fifth at the least. Looking at the situation at present the claim may be a notch or so too ambitious. About seventh or eighth place is what St. Louis would seem to take when the paper teams are compared. The latest from Willie Hutchinson set- tles everything. A letter received last week from the pitcher, who is in New Or- leans with the inneapolis team, says he will report in St. Louls just as soon as the board passes upon his case. The board will meet on April 12, and as President Young has already said semi-officially that St. Louis is entitled to Hutch, the Sociale of the board admits of no specu- ation. Spalding’s Base Ball Guide for 1897 has been received and now the base ball season may be said to have fairly begun. As usual, the guidé has been complied by the veteran ‘Father’ Chadwick, than whom there is no abler writer on the national game. Besides the new playing rules, which differ con- siderably from those of last year, the guild also contains the full official league records, compiled Ps | Secretary Young; the month, standing of the clubs during the 18% am- paign: averages of all the minor league and college clubs, with a complete record of games played by the latter; articles on bat- ting, pitching, flelding and base-running; Cardinal Gib s address on ball-playing, and many interesting articles on the game.

President of the Civic Federation Ex- plains Why He and the Federa- tion Are Denounced, n. Dr. W. W. Boyd's announcement in Sat- urday’s Post-Dispatch that he would “pour hot shot“ into his critics resulted in the Second Baptist Church being crowded to overfiowing Sunday night. His subject was “Varying Phases of Re- form.” Before taking up the criticisms upon the Civic Federation and himself as its President Dr. Boyd told the story of Ne- hemiah, who returned from exile to rebuild Jerusalem and of the varied opposition he overcame in accomplishing his undertak- ing. Dr. Boyd characterized Nehimiah as the prototype of modern reformers, his ex- periences illustrating those of men who now engage in reform movements. The impression prevailed, Dr. Boyd said, that the reform movement in St. Louis had succumbed to obstacles similar to those which failed to retard Nehemiah. On the 7 the reform movement had already accomplished a great deal. The passage of the Civic Federation ;ichool law was one of ita striking achievements. Aided by the press and public spirited citizens and Fes tremendous opposition, the Civic ed eration succeeded in abollshing the School and in substituting a new Board of Education and a system that practically precluded a repetition of the disgraceful acts that rendered the present Board a pub- lic scandal. Another achievement was evidenced at the Republican primaries. To the sneering inquiry, Where were the Federationists at the primaries?’ the reply was that from the usual total primary vote of 6,000, the total was increased to 734. Of these the Re- ublican candidate for Mayor received but 919, while the combined votes of his op- ents was 15,815. The opposition was ivided among three men. Had it been united a change of but 600 votes would have completely altered the result, and this in the face of the desperate efforts of the par- ty machine, the colonizing of repeaters, the use of money and the employment of trick- Waving spoken of what the reform move- ment had accomplished, Dr. Boyd turned his attention to the critics, whom he divided into those within the Civic Federation and without. In replying to the former, indorsement of Edwin Was secret and illegal, Dr. Boyd began by reviewing his connection with the era- He was elected its president against earnest protest. Having been elected he was invested with autbority to appoint all a committees until a committee int to adopt a revised constitution should report. The criticism that one-man revailed was simply false. What- ever mistake had been made, was in grant- ng to the ward councils more, rather than od representation in the Central Council. Any ward council, seeking to interfere in the indorsement of candidates to be elected at large, was overstepping its authority, which was limited to action upon matters local to the ward. This was set forth ina get of resolutions adopted Feb. 5 and served upon every ward club. Dr. Boyd read these resolutions. The indorsement of Mr. Harrison was then taken up by Dr. Boyd as the chief cause of criticism from within the Federa- He declared the meeting legally called at which the indorsement was made and that three times a quorum were present. The council's conclusion was its own free act. No attempt was made to pack’ the vet! or influence the members of the ‘neil. The speaker himself merely pre- sided,..takine no part save to suggest that action be deferred arc a committee of nine Sppointed to report on the following Mon- day. However, he thoroughly concurred in the indorsement of Mr. Harrison and would use “every ounce of influence“ he possessed to secure his election. The threatened dis- 1 from the Federation would result 5 f wer and that the arrison for Mayor , showing who were the real friends of reform. The criticisms from without the Federa- tion were chiefly from the Glole-Democra’, In September the attitude of the Globe-Dem- ocrat towards the reform movement was that of a friend. Dr. Boyd read an edi- torial paragraph from the Globe-Democrat of Sept. 9 in evidence of this, Also one of Sept. 9 and one of Nov. 22. These in- 41 the Civic Federation School Board bill. The death of Editor Joseph B. Me- occurred between that date and the commencement of the fight for the bill in the State Senate, Following the edi- torial of Nov. 22, no mention was made in Globe-Democrat editorially of the move- nt for school board reform. After the ublican primaries the editorials consist- of mild criticisms of reform and re- ormers. After the Republican Convention the paper was actively hostile to the re- vement. It based a charge that the reform movement was a pretense and en ally and side-show of the Democratic n the testimony of a candidate ayoralty and upon private letters th u 0 this man furnished without the spoaker's | consent, the desire being to destroy either er or the Federation or both. s made by the Globe-Democrat were absolutely false. The speaker was a Republican in national and State matters, ~parti in municipal affairs. In matters national politics was an nent intrusion. That was the basic ciple of all municipal reform, and was ted in the constitution of the Fed- eration and in ite standing resolutions. One of ese declared that with the nominees of both parties honest and capable both would be indorsed; with but one answering these requirements, he alone would be inéorsed. With neither acceptable, an in- de dent candidate would be run as nomi- n | by electors. At the primaries every lelegation for Nagel and for Sampson indorsed. Had the Republicans nomi- | am acceptable man he would have n indorsed and no criticism would have made by the Globe-Democrat, hat the audience was chiefly interested im was Dr. Boyd's reply to the private let- ters made public by Meriwether in which Dr. yd said: “My view is recisely what it has always been, that the at opportunity lies with the Regular Demo- cratic F.“ This was dat Jan, 18. Dr. yd said that the editorial based on this letter said that just what oppor- tunity was meant is uncertain, yet upon this uncertainty declared that he had al- lied with his co-workers to defeat the Re- publicans. The speaker had become convinced be- re the first of the year that Ziegen- in would receive the mayoralty nomina- tion. It was with this settled conviction that he said “the great opportunity” of securing an honest and capable Ve gt ; i rested with the Democrats. n tion was the late Joseph B. McCullagh, who believed heartily in the movement. HERMANN WAS LOVING. Held to His Girl as They Went Through the Tunnel. There were two hearts that beat as one on the Air Line “peanut flyer,“ which left owners sat on the middle third of a seat inf the front coach. She was a pretty sec- ond girl,“ going to Belleville, to spend Sun- day. He was a grocer’s clerk, in his Sun- day suit. She was taking him along to show to her folks. They were both happy. Before the train left the depot, they at- tracted the attention of eve car by their efforts to crowd each other away from the center of the seat. the seat. About twice a minute she would snuggle up closer to him and he tighten his grip on her off shoulder. he looked up into his face with limpid eyes. Her voice came estatic cadence. Everything pointed to an episode in the tunnel. Brakeman Strait knows his busi- ness. He forgot to turn up the lights. When the train r into the black hole, silence fell. All eyes were fixed on the couple in the center of the seat. The sus- nse was terrible. In the dim light the wo figures seemed one. There was a coax- ing coo, and then a long-drawn sound, which made every man in the car dig his heels in the floor and every woman giggle. It wee repeated seven times, by actual count. Then the watchers saw a little motion in the center of the seat. The girl was satis- fast and registered twice more between her nose and chin, these times explosively. “Ach, Hermann, mir los!“ she rgled, but he held her tight, and when daylight was reached again, they were still stoutly contesting for the center of the seat. CAPT. PICKEL’S BADGE. It Is So Handsome It Makes Him Hag- gard to Wear It. Capt. John N. Pickel, of the Second Police District, is growing thin and hollow- chested. He looks as though he might be carrying weight for age and investigation roves that he is. Oncein a while he slides nto his private office and, opening his uni- form coat, gazes lovingly at the cause of his distress. It is a big, half-pound gold police Cap- tain’s badge, set with diamonds. The badge was presented to Capt. Pickel by a num- ber of his good friends in the South End, who called on him during the week and sur- prised him therewith. The e is a beautifully W affair, set with a 8%-karat diamond. he presen- tation speech was made by M. A. Klein on whom were: Dr. Otto E. Forster, Wm. Lemp, Jr., Henry V. Lucas, Jaci and Will Druhe, Ed Fischback, Ed Blum, John Sut- ter, J. F. Hellrung, Charles Kreh, George Schaefer, Frank Nagel, Peter Pickel, Geo. Pickel, Wm. Schmitz, Ed Stemm, Mannie A. Klein, Nat. A. Klein and others. DEATH OF THOMAS E. TUTT. He Was a Prominent Man in Business and Banking Circles. Thomas E. Tutt, a director of the Missis- sippi Valley Trust Co., dled Sunday at his home, 11 Vandeventer place. About a year ago he had a severe attack of la grippe, from which he never fully recovered. Mr. Tutt was born in Page County, Va., in 1822, and came to St. Louis in 1846. He successfully engaged in the boot and shoe trade and wholesale grocery business. Later he was associated with his brother at Vir- ginia City and Helena, Mont. In 1867 he returned to St. Louts anf was elected Presi- dent of the Haskell Bank and later he be- came President of the Third National Bank. Private business forced his resignation from this position, but he continued to hold minor offices in different banks and trust companies in the city. The details of the funeral have not been arranged. MUST EXPLAIN HIS ZEAL. saulted a Woman, Will Be Tried. William Sayers, private watchman for the Wiggins Ferry Co., who brutally assaulted Mrs. Maggie Silver Friday, will have an op- portunity to explain his conduct to Judge Murphy. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson issued a warrant against Sayers ogy on Mrs. Alver's complaint. Mrs. Silver lives at 607 Rutger street, and Sayers beat, choked and kicked her while she was picking up coal in the railroad yards at the foot of Rutger street. He also fired a shot at her 12-year-old son Harry, a attempted to protect his mother from ury. LABOR FAVORS THE PLAN. Central Trades Union Declares for a New Public Library Building. The Central Trades and Labor Union Sunday indorsed the proposition to erect a new public library building. Every organ- igation in the city was represented and the members were instruct to explain the proposition in their respective unions. e Tobacco Workers’ Assembly pre- sented a communication asking the aid of the Central Union in the fight against the Drummond Tobaceo Co. for employing non- union men. The resignation of Corresponding Secre- tary Bundschu was accepted and Grant Luce, president of the Carriage Workers’ Assembly, was elected to fill the vacancy. AMERICANS WITH THE GREEK. Consul Jannopoulo Receives Many Let- ters Expressing Sympathy. The appeal of D. Jannepoulo, Greek Con- sul in St. Louis, to his countrymen to aid their native land in its struggle against the Turks, has brought in applications from hundreds of Americans as well as Greeks who sympathize with the little Kingdom's efforts to save the Cretans from massacre and prevent the Moslem fanatics from ex- upg Christianity.

REWARDS TO POLITICIANS. The Filley-Ziegenhein Combination Has Already Taken Charge of the Street Department. The Filley-Ziegenhein machine proposes to take possession of the City Hall forth- with, considering the election of the Burgo- master a mere formality not to be seri- ously considered as a bar to grabbing all the jobs in sight. There are now thirteen jobs in sight in the Sprinkling Department. There are about thirteen hundred true Republican workers who want those thirteen jobs. ; Commissioner Milner has given up try- ing to adjust the matter and has with- | drawn in favor of the Mayor. He has moved from under and turned the flood of Ziegenhein heelers in the direction of the Chief Executive’s office. There are twenty-three sprinkling inspect- ors. They draw $83.331-3 a month, besides $20 a month for the maintenance of a horse and puséy. in which to go over their re- spective districts. Ten of those jobs have been filled already as part of the sprinkling work has been starte The other thirteen are still to be named. Ziegenhein roses dec- orates every coat that goes into the Street Commissioner’s office, and they as regularly o from there to the Mayor’s corner of the uilding. Mr. Milner said Monday: “I am not a polticilan and cannot distinguish the dell- cate shades of political strength that go to qualify one man over another for any par- ticular job. If I had my way I would ap- 2 irispectors for the purpose of inspect- ng. “I have left it all to the Mayor, however. Nominally I appoint and the Mayor 2 8 but, in fact, I let the Mayor make is own selections then I make out the ap- pointments and he r them.“ In Commissioner Milner’s department is a certain ward committeeman named Wm. J. Broeker. He carried his ward for Zie- 25 all right and was entitled accord- ng to the code to have his job back. He had been laid off some time before because, it was said, the appropriation was too small. He will again 1 on the pay rolls on the Ist of April as Superintendent of the North- @n District. He was pulled back into his job by the influence of the Ziegenhein push. The Street Department is the only one so far that the bw machine has succeeded in getting a foothold in, OTTO M. SCHMIDT. Democrats Have Selected a Capable Man for Auditor. Otto M. Schmidt, candidate for Auditor on the regular Harrison Democratic ticket, is a strong representative of the conserv- ative, yet active, business element of St. Louis. Mr. Schmidt is not a politician; never ran for an office before; never sought an office in his life, and this time it was a case of the office seeking the man. When J.

Many Republicans Dislike the Presi- dent of the B. P. I. There Is a serious flaw in the Filley slate, and day by day the crack is growing wider and more dangerous. Republicans are knif- ing McMath, the cdndidate for President of the Board of Improvements. All the con- tractors are against him and all those who supported theother candidates for the nom- ination are either openly against him or do- ing what is as bad—going about making excuses for him and trying to explain why it is he has suddenly become unpopular. Mr. McMath in the meantime is going ahead minding his own business and cutting off idle gossipers who want to talk to him, in his usual abrupt manner, which so many of them dislike. Just why McMath was put.on the slate insead of Stemme is not told. In the con- vention a whole lot of wards voted for Stemme under the impression that they | were conforming with the general plan as S. Barret withdrew as the can- | prearranged. As soon as they saw their Ex- mistake they hastened to correct it as fast ecutive Committee had to fill the vacancy. | as they could, and rallied to the McMath Several aspirants came out for the place, standard so as not to arouse the enmity of and were voted for in the committee meet- | ing. Mr. Schmidt did not have the slightest intimation that he was being considered — * o” — — the great chieftain. Very quietly, but very effectively, the knifing of McMath is being done, and it looks very much as if they would beat him at the polls on April 6. HOLMAN IS UNPOPULAR. Hungry Republican Pie-Grabbers Don’t Like His Methods. The inability of Mayor Walbridge to keep his appointees in line on the coming elec- tion is bringing down upon his head the condemnation of the gang in the band wagon. Election day is near at hand, and it has been discovered that Water Commissioner Holman has found it necessary to be in New York on official business, and ma not be back until after election. Mr. Hol- man has kept politics out of his office from the start. He has quite a number of Demo- crats on his pay rolls and the fact alone causes the hungry horde to foam at the mouth with indignation. Each and every one of the Filley henchmen considers such Ny) J ad | OTTO M. SCHMIDT. until three hours before the meeting, when some of his friends came to him and asked him if he would accept the nomination if the committee should vote it to him. After studying the matter over, Mr. Schmidt gave an affirmative answer. Mr. Schmidt is in the prime of life, being 48 years old. He was born and reared in St. Louls. Wilen a young man he was a traveling salesman for a wholesale gro- cery house. In 1876.he founded the whole- sale dong ob | firm of Otto Schmidt & Co., now located at 117 North Second street. The firm has prospered under the able management and sound business judgment of Mr. Schmidt. Mr. Schmidt lives in the Twenty-third Ward and is a member of the Twenty- third Ward Civic Federation Club. He has always advocated the doctrine of reform in municipal government, and is against bosses and bossism. If elected Auditor of this city he will conduct the office on a business basis. Mr. Schmidt has already been assured of support from a large number of his Re- publican friends in mercantile and bank- ing circles. MERIWETHER’S PETITION. It Has Been Declared Valid by the Election Board. If Meriwether is knocked out in his man- damus case in the Court of Appeals he can run independently on a ticket nominated by electors. His —— of electors has been declared valid by the Election Com- missioners. Meriwether, by the assistance of Col. Ed Butler and the latter’s sons, James J. and John R., and of Bob“ Carroll, filed a pe- tition of 2,600 names, nominating the Meri- wether ticket 4 * electors. This tition was filed the onday following the con- vention for the purpose, as was stated at the time, of giving Meriwether a chance to run if the courts should decide against him. It was deciared by the Meriwether leaders in the convention hall that they would go into the courts, but if defeatea they would not stand by the courts’ decision — would run independently.

A big patch of the plastering on the ceil- ing in Chief Ganey’s office at East St. Louis police headquarters fell with a crash at 10:66 a. m. Monday, just as the patrolmen were getting ready to change spots,“ caus- ing a big stampede and injuring Police Clerk Haefele seriously. Clerk Haefele was at work on his record book, with his head bowed over the desk. A chunk of plasterin about the circumference of a water pa struck him squarely in the back of the head, knocking him sprawling on the floor. Sergt. Welkobroski picked him up insensi- ble and telephoned for Dr. Moeller. Haefele was resuscitated and his wounds, though ainful, were pronounced not dangerous, he accident was an echo of the tornado, which lifted the second floor compartments from the building and left the plastering of the ground floor exposed to the subsequent heavy rains for several weeks.

A dispatch from Boston details the ar- rest in Cambridge Sunday night of Frank Wyman, a Harvard student, whose home is in St. Louis. Young Mr. Wyman its a son of Charles H. Wyman the Custom House broker, with offices in the Columbia Build- ing. The family residence is at 5623 Cab- anne place. He is a nephew of Frank Wyman of Simmons Hardware Co., and te Wyman well known in commercial circles. The charge, which it is alle will be n against him when he appears fore Judge Almy in the Third District Court, is said to. be a serious one. Com- plaints have been numerous of late from residents of Huron avenue, Avon streets and other aristocratic Cambridge thorough- fares, that a young man has n lurkin behind trees and fences after dusk an frightening ladies as they passed. Patrolman McNulty Was assigned to look after the matter. Sunday afternoon he claims to ha settled on Frank Wyman as the miscreant and arrested him after a hot chase. Mr. Wyman’s relatives in this city sa the first intimation they had of the at- fair was through the mornin aper dis- patches. They at once wi the you man for informafion, but up to noon ha received no reply. Mr. Frank yman, after consultation with his brother, telegraphed to Boston lawyers to attend to the case and see that the young man was given every op- portunity to clear himself. 1 know nothing but what I saw in the papers,” said Mr. Frank Wyman, “but I am sure a grievous mistake has been made. My nephew is not the sort of fel- low to waste his time in the ungentle- manly pranks he seems accused of. Bates Wyman, the young man’s brother, said: “We are naturally prejudiced in Frank’s favor, but reasonably we can not believe there is anything in the charge contained in the telegram. Brother is a hard student and not a vicious trifler. The whole thing is a mystery to us. We have telegraphed, but so far no reply has ar- shir dy oy anticipate a mistake has been made. Young Frank Wyman is a graduate of Washington University. He worked for a while in hig father’s office and last fall entered the collegiate department at Har- vard. He was known among his associates as a quiet, studious young man. WANTS TO BE A TYPEWRITER. Miss Shelb’s Ambitions May Result in a Widowed Mother’s Unhappiness. Miss Emma Shelb of 3607 North Broad- way prefers to be a typewriter to a sales- woman. That is why she is thought to have left her widowed mother all alone and gone out into the world to seek her for- une. Miss Shelb is 20 years old and quite pretty. She used to be a saleswoman at the Rosenthal Millinery Co. at Ninth street and Washington avenue, but she found the work uncongenial, especially as her mother is well-to-do. She learned short- hand and typewriting, but could not secure a place. Her mother is a thrifty German and did not like the idea of her daughter's living in idleness. She ke to her often about it, but when the girl received offers for sitions out of the city she would not let her accept them as she did not care to be left all alone. Saturday a week ago the girl said she was going to visit friends named Bischoff residing in Alton. The mother did not object and the girl packed up her satchel and left. Mrs. Shelb has not heard from her daughter since, but she has not worried because the girl cannot write in German and the mother cannot read English. 1 expected she would run down and visit me during the week to let me know how she Was getting on,“ Mrs. Shelb said Monday. She thought she could get work in Alton and I would not object to her remain- ing up there because we have a number of good friends at that place. She hasn’t left me though, I am sure. I was thinking of going up there Sunday, but I will go Monday afternoon,” The peculiar feature of the case is that Miss Shelb has been in St. Louis during the past week looking for werk. Her ac- quaintances say she has left her home. At the Remington typewriter office, where she spent most of her time when down town, she was known as a quiet, well-behaved 1 woman who made no associates among the girls about the place. She called at the office last Thu y in search of work. Mrs. Shelb insists that her daughter is away on a visit and has not reported her absence to the police. JUDGE ZACHRITZ DISOBEYED.
