Has Been Elected, but Will Not Be Initiated Right Away. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1—A report has been spread over the entire country th President McKinley would to-night be initiated as a Mystic Shriner in Alma’s Temple of this city. This report has been | accepted as true by many Mystic Shringrs, and Boum! Temple of Baltimore has even helped to spread the report in an official circular. The officers of Alma’s Temple were busily engaged to-day in denying the reports of the President’s proposed initiation. The only foundati@én for the report lies in the fact that Mr. McKinley is a Knight Templar, and has been elected to receive the degree of the Mystic Shrine by Al Koran Temple of Cleveland, O. In Masonic parlance this fact practically makes the resident the gene of Al Koran Temple, and he could not be initiated by any other temple with- out the consent of the temple that has al- ready elected him, and no movement has been ade toward bringing the President into a temple of this city. Probably one source of the report is the fact that recently when Imperial Potentate Harrison Dingman of Alma’s Temple was calling at the White House he reminded the President that he was eligible to be ad- mitted into the Mystic Shrine. The Presi- dent thanked Mr. Dingman for the sugges- tion but .made no statement of his in- tentions. The eyeball of Levi Hardin of New Coloma burst and ran out.

Body of a Well Dressed Man Found Near the Water Works. The attendants at the city ‘waterworks at the Chain of Rocks, in the extreme northern portion of the city, discovered the swollen and distorted body of a floater swirling placidly around in the rippling eddies of one of the settling basins at that point Thursday morning at 11 o’clock. The body was dragged to the edge of the basin with boat hooks, and a telephone message pag sent to the Dispensary for an ambu- ance. Overseer Brooks, who took charge of the body, said that it was that of a white man, of apparently middle age, and had been in the water about three weeks. The body was that of a well-dressed man, but theré was nothing about his clothing by which his identity could be discovered. The body was removed to the Morgue.

Annie Vernsin, who took 2 cents from the poor box of St. Bridget's Church to buy food, was released Wednesday from custody. Fr.

Not unless there is a heavy rain above us and a rise in the Missouri at the same time that one occurrs in the Mississippi. I do not fear the snows in the Northwest, but I do fear a heavy rain, he said. These conditions were rapidly being real- ized Thursday morning. The Missouri is rising slowly and the Father of Waters rap- idly. The precipitation is believed to have been heavy at many points where no gov- ernment weather observers are stationed, and it will be several days before the result of last night’s rainfall can be ascertained. Observer Frankenfield does not receive of- fetal reports from points south of St. Louis, but such news as came to him Thursday morning indicated the rainfall had been even heavier in this region than to the north. There have been cloudbursts between here and Texarkana. All this water will go to swell the river to the South and the peril of the situation along the lower Mississippi is increased many fold. In the meantime there is a separate flood coming from far north. The-river is above the danger line at St. Paul. The situation Thursday morn- ing was this: In the Mississippi are three distinct floods—one in the lower river, ex- tending from Cairo south; a second extend- ing from Keokuk to St. Louis, due to the heavy rainfall, and a third in the extreme North, caused by melting snow and rain. Harbor Commissioner C. H. Stone be- lieves St. Louls and vicinity will have a flood in a short time as great or greater than that of 1892 The outlook is ominous,“ he said Thurs- day morning. “The river is now over 24 feet and rising an inch and one-half an hour. If it keeps coming up at that rate, it will be at a dangerous stage in 48 hours. “and all the conditions point to a con- tinued rise. The Upper Mississippi and its tributaries are bank-full, The ice has brok- en in the Missouri above Omaha. There are also rains up there. All that water must come down here. The reports from below do not indicate that a fall there is probable. The water won't be able to run out fast enough here. „ have not heard from the Osage, but I presume it is also swollen by local rains. The country between here and Quincy will all soon be in danger. — lowlands below Alton, on the east side, overflow first and the water will sweep down toward East St. Louis. It is probable, though, tha; the B. & O. embankment will hold it back, as it did in 1892. “Much will depend on local conditions. If we have protracted rains the flood is cer- tain. If there should be a co.d snap here, we might escape.”’ The Harbor Department is on the alert, Steam is kept up on the harbor boat and the @ump boats are watched closely. A good deal of freight is exposed on the wharf and the owners have been warned of the impending danger. Railroad traffic had not been so demoral- ized all winter as it was Thursday morn- ing, and the situation did not improve as the day advanced. The officials of the Iron Mountain have completely lost track of all their trains between here and Tex- arkana. A message from De Soto at mid- night said trains would be held there until it was safe to run them. Then the wires went down and nothing has since been heard. As far as the officials in St. Louis know not a wheel is moving along the entire line. There is no reason to believe any accident has happened and no appre- hension is felt for the passenger and train crews. It is known there has been a land- slide near De Soto and there have been washouts at other points. No trains went out from St. Louis over the Iron Moun- tain Thursday, morning and it was said at the Union Station that none would pro ably be dispatched before Friday. e Frisco is also tied up, but the trains on this road have all been heard from and the blockade is nearer St. Louis. No. 6, the Frisco limited, due here at 7:26 a. m. had not arrived at noon, and no one could tell when it would arrive. It is held at Howard station.

It is a fact of official ‘record that Ziegenhein in four years collected $600,- 000 less from saloon licenses than Excise Commissioner Bell collected in the same period of time. . It is a fact of official record that there were several hundred saloons open under Ziegenhein which were closed under Beil. United States Internal Revenue records show it. It is a fact of official record, comparing the United States Internal Revenue re- ports with those of the Auditor of Mis- souri, that Ziegenhein deprived the State of Missouri as well as the city of St. Louis of the saloon revenues to which it was entitled. It is a fact of official record that Ziegenhein refused to allow an officer of the State to investigate his books as Collector, and that he said on that oc- casion that “the public have no right to know how much the corporations pay or whether they are behind in their pay- ment of taxes.“ Page 16, Part 1, Report of Commissioner’ of Labor. It is a fact of official record that Ziegen- hein does not collect from corporations one-half of the ridiculously small amounts for which they are assessed. “What are you going to do about it?“ THE FARMER AND HIS HIDE, Protective duties on such agricultural articles as would serve the purpose of maintaining prices and a home market against foreign competition have not been put into the Dingley bill. An article on which farmers and stock growers might realize something is a hide or pelt. If importations could be prohibited, or even restricted, prices would advance. But the New Engiand leather industries, which have hides to buy, put them on the free list in the Ding- ley bill and on the free list they are to remain, despite the violent protests of ' Congressman Hepburn, of Iowa, and other Republicans of agricultural sec- tions. | This is a repetition of the McKinley Ust at the demand of Massachusetts and “Of the couutry. And the duties on raw reduced and those on woolen goods re- tained, although the raw schedule is now below the textile schedule as to be y out of parity with it. f course the duties on wheat, corn, ts, cotton and other agricultural staples th which there is no foreign competi- tion will be retained. Neither New En- gland nor New York object to them. As to everything else, what the Northeast Wants it gets. And the farmer, he pays the tax. f 8 ANOTHER TRUST LESSON. In a recent article the Post-Dispatch showed how the Rubber Trust has almost ruined thé once flourishing Village of Bristol, R. I., by closing up factories and throwing thousands of workers out of employment. Here ig another object lesson of the same kind furnished by the Cordage Trust. The village of Maspeth, N. T., had seven cordage factories before the formation of the trust. One by one they have been closed. The shutting down of the Standard Rope and Twine Com- pany, one of the biggest of the trust fac. tories, leaves but one small plant in Operation at Maspeth. At the same time the Standard factory in Brooklyn, an- other trust plant, was closed, the shut. ting down of these two plants throwing more than a thousand men and women out of employment. In addition to curtailing production by closing as many factories as possible, the Cordage Trust has, it is said, greatly re- duced wages since it has been in opera- tion. Employes claim that eight years ago a man could earn from $16 to $22 per week in one of these factories. Now wages for men average $7 to $8 per and for women $5 to $8 per week. longed to the trust. His factory is run- ht and day. ‘ 2 lessons like these point their own moral. In some way the people must break up the monopolies. The Su- preme Court has begun the good work, and the lower courts and State Legis- latures should follow it up until not a trust is left. ae THE LAW AND THE PLUTOCRAT. Plutocrat Belmont of New York says that “it is not easy to discover why it should be that if railway directors are really competent, the railway corpora- tions cannot achieve, without formal agreements with each other, the thing they have heretofore done by agree- ments now condemned by the courts.” “The thing they have heretofore done” has been declared by the Supreme Court to be in itself illegal, against public policy, and in restraint of trade. What Plutocrat Belmont is proposing, then, is that railway corporations shall disobey the court and the law. They shall do, secretly and by indirection, what they have been doing openly. They shall con- tinue to do what the Supreme Court has declared it is unlawful. for them to do, and what it has prohibited them from doing, by making their agreements in private instead of in public. In. short, they shall “achieve,” by secret con- spiracy against the law and the people, the ends which the law has forbidden. Plutocrat Belmont is one of those who, only last year, was most vehement in de- nunciation of alleged “lawlessness,” “anarchy” and “defiance of law and or- der among the supporters of the Demo- cratic ticket and platform. But Debs himself was never more subversive of the vital principle of law and order than is Plutocrat Belmont when his dividends are threatened with reduction. But the role is not a new one to him or to the plutocracy for which he speaks, which either makes or breaks laws to suit its convenience and interests. When it can make a law against the people it holds up the-law and denounces those who propose to amend or repeal it as enemies of the State. When the law is for the people Plutocracy violates it. The law can be violated, says Belmont, “if railway directors are really com- petent.” In these words is expressed the Wall street estimate of “competency.” The highest intelligence is that which can most successfully evade the law. And it is in order that they may violate or evade the law with impunity that the railroads and other big corporations legal advisers. The chief occupation of the ablest lawyers in the United States nowadays—and for which the biggest pay is given—is devising methods by which their employers can avoid obeying laws to which they object. WALKER AND THE BUSINESS MEN The bill introduced in Congress for the appointment of a Currency Revision Commission is in pursuance of the reso- lution adopted at the recent national con- vention of business men in Indianapolis. It will be remembered that Congress- man Walker, of Massachusetts, who was chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee in the last House and will doubtless be in the next, took strong ground against the convention plan of issuing bonds as a basis for riational bank circulation to be a substitute for green- backs and treasury notes. Now Mr. Walker has introduced a bill providing for a National Bank circulation based on the unimpaired capital of the Banking Associations, the reserves for note re- demption to be in specie, half silver and half gold. If the government notes are to be re- tired end superseded with private corpo- ration credit paper, the plan of the busi- ness men is infinitely preferable to that vf Congressman Walker. If silver is not “sound money” why should it be made a reserve for the redemption of one-half of the floating paper currency? Or would it not be found that all holders of such paper would demand gold and thus force again the conditions which precipitated panic and disaster under the Sherman law, for the passage of which, as we re- member, Mr. Walker was largely respon- sible. But the quarrel between Walker and the business men is sufficient assurance that there will be no Currency Commis- sion appointed at this session, or at the regular one beginning in December. Even if such a bill could pass the House it would be killed in the Senate. The independent candidate for Mayor of Chicago is an Alderman—Mr. Harlan. What he says, therefore, of some of the corporations of that city may be taken as coming from a person well informed as to the relations of such bodies with the city. These are his words: “Do you know that the dogs of Chicago— the common yellow curs that run about our alleys and shrink from carriage and street car wheels—are a greater source of revenue to the city of Chicago than are the miles and miles of street railways that fill our thoroughfares? Did anyone ever tell you that the licenses issued to owners of dogs bring more money into the city treasury than all the fees that are paid by the cable and trolley lines? They don’t wear out the pavements, they don’t endanger human life, they make no money out of the people, and yet they do more to support the city gov- ernment than the street car magnates, who pretend to the ownership of our streets.” This illustration will serve for other cities than Chicago. The valuable fran- chises which have been sold by corrupt municipal assemblies, and for ‘which these cities should have been well paid, would have been a great aid in reducing city indebtedness or paying for city im- provement if they had been honestly dis- posed of. This language of the Supreme Court in regard to trusts shouid be kept before the people: “It is not material that the price of an article may be lowered. It is in the power of the combination to raise it, and the result in any event is unfortunate for the country by depriving it of the services of a large number of small but independent dealers who were familiar with the business and who had spent their lives in it, and who supported themselves and their families from the small profits realized therein.” Voting for Ziegenhein and a new pub- lic library building may seem a singular mixture of evil and good, but the only way to get rid of untrustworthy officials is to enlighten the people. 80, if there is as | | But thatw triumphed in clear-headed enough to perceive the im- portance of good library facilities, his vete will not be wholly lost. Hetty Green, it is said, is about to scoop in $4,000,000 of Chicago property on mort- gages, upon which the unfortunate Chi- cagoese find it impossible to pay interest. The old lady may come into complete pos- session of the Windy City before she goes to count the heavenly treasures she has laid up. b „Those things not forbidden to Con- gress are legal,“ is the Grosvenor idea, This idea would legalize corruption in every form. Nothing could be more de- moralizing in legislation than this loose conception of the duties of a legislative body. i i has The Ohio discovery that high grade steel can be made from the cheapest pig iron and old scraps, the new power of liquefied air, and the easy manufactureof gold in St. Louis and Chicago, ought to make this year a great one for the coun- try. It will be a long time before Germany can acquire the vast naval power of Great Britain, but if she could once land her armies on the British islands, there might be something of a change in Eu- ropean map-making. — Whether Mr. Ziegenhein has done wrong through lack of judgment or through dishonesty, the tax-payers of St. Louis have suffered just the same, and the city has been set back when it should have gone forward. — Btn, — _ — — 9 * In the midst of his self-sacrifice in be- half of Ziegenhein, Dr. Starkloff may be excused if he feels a shade of melancholy when he remembers Anna Eva Fay's prediction that Starkloff would de our next Mayor. —— — —ä The quarrelsome Democrats may be censurable, but the quiet unanimity of a cut-and-dried convention designed to perpetuate corrupt city government is more harmful than a riotous political meeting.

The great success of the Post-Dispatch has helped other business than its own. It has given the best St. Louls medium to advertisers. a — „„ 2 — The severest blizzard of the winter ar- rived in.

Fanny Moody has lately been pre- sented by her Cornish admirers .in the Thansvaal with a mgagnificent tiara com- posed of Transvaal gold and pure white diamonds, The tiara bore the motto: “One and All.“ The woman's movement is making head- way in Prussia. Recently Miss Marie Has- senstein received a principal's certificate as teacher, the first ever given to a woman in the country. She purposes to establish a school for girls at Charlottenburg.

When she heard that the Chicago ordinance had been passed she said: France should imitate the example of young America, with a view of bringing about the total disappearance of ‘the hat from the theaters.

All of which is not creditable to capital. Let it be known that fn point of fact, while the anti-trust law wag never intended to cover labor unions, it was first applied to them. Six years have passed since the law was enacted, and now for the first time has it found practical application against any of the great combinations of capital which fill the land. But there was ‘no difficulty found in applying it to labor in the strikes of 1894. So when capital begins“ to be- lieve” that the law “has an equal applica- tion to combinations of workmen,” capital casts no credit either upon its memory or its temper, . Rightly to give the law equal application to labor unions, the law must also direct it- self against combinations of individuals in a corporation as well as combinations of corporations, Labor unions have long been tolerated by the law simply as the working- man’s Offset to the combinations of indi- viduals and capital authorized by law through distinct and independent corporate organizations, Against these single organ- izations, except where formed to combine and swallow up a number of organizations of the kind, anti-trust laws cannot properly and do not attempt to interfere. Such laws deal only with combination among cor- porate entities, and not until they pro- ceed to the point of individual combination within a single corporate entity can they — be applied to the average labor union. A Tremendous Network. From the New York Journal. When the ex-President asserts that five- sixths of the people of the land, without re- gard to party, “favor a revision of corpora- tion laws, limiting the purposes for which corporations may be organized, supervising the issuance of stocks and bonds, and put- ting other restraints upon them,” he does justice to a feeling which is rapidly rising to its high tide. The facility with which charters are granted, the rivalry among dif- ferent States to offer the biggest terms to capitalists, and the ease of dictation with which capital is thus able to organize on almost any basis it may elect, have offered chances of abuse of which the beneficiaries have fully availed themselves. It is owing to this convenient looseness of construction that corporations have been able to com- bine so easily into the trusts which have oppressed the country. Mr. Harrison points to the tremendous network of interests thug created, whereby millions of people have directly and indirectly been welded to- gether into an offensive and defensive alli- | jg ance, A GENTLE HINT.

Ingersoll’s infidelity is the cheapest sort of iconoclasm. He has the most in- nocent, harmless face in all the world.

A Min- neapolis paper remarks that no matter who succeeds Perry, he will never be able to pe out pleasant remembrances of the hard-hitting St. Louisan. Anson, Lange, Connor and the rest of the big men in the ward are but pigmies when compared to Washington’s new pitcher. Hillary Swain, the youngster magnet by Schmelz, on the recommendation o Winnie Mercer, is the tallest player that ever signed a 1 contract. He is 6 feet 5 inches ta : Uncle Nick Young is out with another let- ter to umpires. The latest defines the chief virtue of an umpire as perfect rn in rendering a decision, believed to be ri and, having rendered it, to let it be — and irrevocable. A greater mistake cannot be made than to try to even up,’ because of fear that an incorrect decision has been made.“ *“Patsey” Flaherty, the ball player who received his diamond education on the lots of St. Louis, was in the city Thursday morning. Here he met Mike O'Connor and d Burke, two local . and the trio journeyed to Quincy. erty will potas and manage the Quincy inor League team. The other two men will play in the out field. “Ward's indorsement of Sockalexis is the most encouraging word that Pat Tebeau has re ved apropos the Poor Lo of an out- felder,“ remarks Joe Campbell in the Wash- ington Post. “Ward may have oddities, likes and dislikes, but he is a judge of raw base ball material. He discovered Tom Brown in Frisco fifteen years ago, and recommended Parson Jones to the Brooklyn Club after Jones had been overlooked by every club in the major league.“ Much indignation is expressed by base ball writers over the $100 fine imposed on Beckley by Scrappy Joyce. Beckley left the training quarters of the Giants at Lake- wood to run up to New York to meet his wife, who was arriving from Pittsburg. The fine was imposed only after Beckley was threatened with suspension. The Impress on is that a $10 fine for the sake of discipline would have deen enough, though many claim that Beckley’s case warranted an ex- ception to the cast iron rule that players shall not be allowed to go to the city, and that permission should have been granted Beckley when he first applied for it.

PRINGFIBLD, In., April 1.—Indications oint to the defeat of the judicial ap- brtionment bill now on third read- i in the House. There has never een any reason for the Democrats upporting it, and last night a House cau- us of the Democrats decided to oppose he measure as it stands, and there is no rtainty that it will ever be amended to meet the approval of a majority of the Yemocrats, The caucus adopted a resolu- on branding the bill as manifestly a Re- ublican measure, and the Democrats were wtructed to vote unanimously against it. raig voiced the sentiment of a majority the Democrats when he stated that the epublicans had acted unfairly in parcel- ic out the circuits, giving the Democrats aly four circuits out of seventeen, while nder the present arrangement they have x, with only thirteen circuits. In order that the bill shall become oper- ve at the June election, it is necessary the Republicans to pass it with the emergency clause, and this seems to be iso absolutely impossible. There are about fteen Republicans in the House who are openly opposed to the bill and who can af- ford to vote against it, as their constituents are against it. If the Republicans pass the bill without the emergency clause it can have no force in the June election. How- er, it is claimed that members of the Supreme Court have given it as their opin- nu that the bill will become operative as n as passed, but on what they base their inion has not n stated. hat the proposed reapportionment is un- just is manifest in the seventh circuit. This sircuit includes Macoupin, Sangamon, Mor- n, Scott, Greene and Jersey. The con- frotiing votes in this district are those of acoupin and Sangamon Counties. A co- alition has already been made between the Iwo counties to renominate, if the bill be- zomes a law, Judge Shirley of Macoupin and 'udge Creighton of Sangamon. By this ar- ‘angement the other four counties will be epresented by one Circuit Judge. Ex-Rep- esentative homas . Ferns of Jersey- Ille, who is a candiate for Circuit Judge on he Democratic ticket, in an inter- tlew said that the people of his Jistrict would be in favor of allow- ne Sangamon to be set aside as a circuit. this is done then Adams, St. Clair and La Ne will ny be made separate cir- its, which is allowable under the consti- tution. This would seem to be the only scheme by which any material number of votes could be gained for the bill. Ferns, ander the proposed new law, would prob- ably be the third Democratic nominee, as he is well known in both Sangamon and Macoupin Counties. Report of the Mutual Life for 1896. ‘The continuous growth of the Mutual Life ansurance Co. of New York has for many decades been a source of pride to its army of policy holders. Its annual report of busi- ness for the year ending December 31, 1896, e full details of which are now in the ands of the New York State Insurance artment, shows that the company 4 ne net assets aggregating $234,744, 148.42. e books of the company indicate, accord- ing to its own standard of policy valuation, @ much reer sum than that, but this year the report is made in conformity with the ulrements of the State Department, cludes assets that are not realized n, but which are proper to regard as aitimately good and available. The lIiabill- ties on the risks in force amount to $205,010,- 72, leaving a surplus fund of $29, 733,514.70. This shows an increase in admitted assets during 1896, according to the New Tork State standard, of 040,005. 22, and an in- crease in surplus of P 06.

Reletting of the Chain of Rocks Boiler Contract Brings Out Uncle 1 Henry’s” Views. Several weeks ago the Board of Public Improvements advertised a letting for eight water tube boilers for the new high service station at the Chain of Rocks. There were five bids, as follows: John O’Brien Boiler Works, $1,998; Oil City, Pa., Boiler Wroks, $25,000; Heine Safety Boiler Co., - $19,750; Campbell-Zell Co. of Chicago, $41,461.14; National Water Tight Boiler Co. of Pennsylvania, $29,106. The Heine company had done considera- ble work for the city. There was no ques- tion of its responsibility. It was the low- est bidder by $180. At the ensuing meeting of the Board a protest was made by the O’Brien com- pany through its attorney, John H. Dra- belle, against the award of the contract to the Heine company on the ground that it had no plant and could not perform the contract without violating the clause for- bidding sub-letting. The board took the position that it could not presume in advance that the company would violate the clause. Even if it had no plant, it might gly one before the work was begun. If it could later be shown that the company was subletting, the con- tract could be taken from it. The only. question the board could entertain at that time was that of responsibility. Mr. Drabelle then raised that question. A day was set and the point argued. The board, in committee of the whole, decided that the Heine company was responsible and therefore entitled to the contract. The contract went to the Council for ap- roval. A public hearing was arranged. ’Brien had a hundred boilermakers on hand. with the smut of the shop on their hands and faces, and red, red roses stuck in their coats. The hearing was turned into a home rule demonstration. Nothing was said about the responsibility of the Heine company, but great stress was laid on the alleged Let that its bollers were made else- where, by men who could not vote in St. Louis. On leaving the Council chamber many of the men tore off the roses and threw them away. They had been compelled to wear them for the effect on a Republican Council. Tuesday night the Council, by a vote of 8 to 6, rejected the award and ordered a reletting. The only argument used was that the Heine Company did not employ home labor. Mr. Ziegenhein was asked if the Council's way of bringing about home rule met with his approval. r ‘Yes. When the lowest bidder is an outside company, there should be a re- letting.“ “But eu 2 an outside company is the lowest bidder again?“ a “Well. I don't know what we could do then. e trouble is, the charter is wrong. It says contracts must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. That will have to be amended to read ‘the best bidder.’ The best bidder would always be the home bidder, who would give work to our people.’ “Wouldn't the result be that the local bid- ders would combine and raise their bids?’’ “Oh, well, what if they did? We can af- ford to pay a little more when the work is to be done at home.”’ When the Charter Revision ordinance comes up in the next Assembly one of the amendments which will be offered will pro- vide PY — letting of contracts to the ‘*best”’ bidder. If it is adopted the city will be back where it was before 1876. Discretionary power was then vested in the awarding body, and cor- ruption was rife. The awarding body now has no discretion. The contract goes to the lowest bidder and there is no opportunity or, corruption. . Under a charter amended, as Ziegenhein company would would have it, the best“ be the company which could awarding body that it was bes WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS.

RINGSTERS, HIGHLY PLEASED. They Can Sit Still and Force the Peo- ple to Do All the Fighting The Civic Federation school law makes no provision for the expense of the special elec- tion ordered for the purpose of abolishing the present School Board. This will necessi- tate a resort to the courts. The School Board ring is accordingly highly elated. Its members were preparing to contest the law through the Supreme Court through injunction proceedings. Now they are saved the trouble of taking the initiative. Their intention to resist eviction from their unsalaried but not necessarily unre- munerative jobs, is said to have been an- nounced by Martin Taffe, a Cass avenue plumber, whose annual receipts from school contracts are only equale by those of Director Cudmore’s brother ohn. Mr. Taffe is quoted as boasting in his neighbor- hood that the Civic Federation law would be knocked out and that the dominant fac- tion of the board was preparing to invoke all the technicalities of the law. Although Mr. Taffe is in the midst of the councils of the ring, having in his employ a nephew of President Bus of the board, and presumably knows whereof he speaks President Bus professes dense ignorance of the purpose outlined. He grasps eagerly, however, at the golden opportunity offered N the apparent defect in the law to save 8 own ob and those of his friends in the oard. The defect in the law prevents the Board of Election Commissioners from ordering an election, unless the School Board appro- riates the $20,000 necessary for the 2828 n the Election Commissioners' estimate to Comptroller Sturgeon of its approaching ex- penses the item of $20,000 for the special school election was included. Comptroller Sturgeon promptly disallowed the item. City Counselor Marshall, being consulted by the commissioners, sustained Comptroller Sturgeon. He held that, in the absence of a specific provision, the expenses fall upon the School Board, and the city cannot pay the The Election Commissioners will call upon spe School Board to make the appropria- on. Those unacquainted with the gentlemen eomprising the School Board ring might conclude that as public officers they would be anxious to assist in every way the en- forcement of the law. This conclusion would be particularly warranted by the fact that the ring has all along held that it was maligned by the charges of peculiar dealings by its members and that they were actuated in holding office purey by a regard for the public welfare and a desire to have the law upheld. The present situation af- fords them a golden opportunity to prove their words by acts. Besides, if the election is held, they in- tend to seek vindication through re-election, and claim that they have nothing to fear from the result. The appropriation will not be made, Pres- ident Henry Bus is authority for this state- ment. „J don’t see how the Board can make the appropriation,” said Mr. Bus. “By law we are prohibited from expending money for anything except what is specified by the law governing the Board. The old law 8 that school elections should be eld at certain times and the expenses aid by the Board. That law is repealed. he new law says nothing about the ex- ense of the election, therefore the School ard cannot pay for the special election. “I know nothing about any movement on the part of present Directors to contest the Civic Federation law,“ added Mr. Bus in response to a question. If the board refuses to aperopriote the money, the Board of Election Commis- sioners, accordin cone it out In the ternative for the h the Civic F some citizen, Proceedings would be against the Election Commissioners through a writ of or ag to compel them to order an election, If their defense holds good that they cannot order one without the expenses and that the refuses to step would to ap Thel P stituted te A.

The awful noise of its approach could be heard for miles. 8 far no deaths are reported, but numerou ersons can be seen with lacerated heads, aces and hands. Not a house in town es- caped having windows smashed and numer- ous roofs were unequal to the force of the stones and were greatly damaged. The loss at this time is estimated by the thousands. The various halls and mills, the college, churches and other large buildings are al- most without a glass in in windows or doors. BOONVILLE, Mo., A] April 1.—This vicinity was visited by terrific storms. Fully 2 inches of water fell in one hour yesterday and large hall stones did much damage in the country.

MERIWETHER WILL NOT HURT. Gis Strength Will Come Principally From the Ziegenhein Forces and | Will Help Harrison. Every day the Harrison leaders have reason to feel more confident of victory. The Regular Democratic ticket, they sin- cerely believe, is a winner. “As the Post-Dispatch explained long be- fore any Democrat came out for the may- oralty nomination, the increased registra- tion in this city has revealed new condi- tions to be met,“ said A. C. Maroney, Seo- retary of the Democratic City Executive Committee. “At least 80 per cent of the increased enue. This means that the big western wards must be figured on closely in mak- ing calculations. The character of the vote in these western wards is what might be termed ‘silk stocking.’ That is, this in- creased vote out there will be thrown to the best men. “Edwin Harrison is a man at whom no one can throw dirt 2 He is a clean, upright, business man, who, if elect- ed Mayor, would give this city a business administration 8 from bossism and ma- chine rule. He is just the man to catch ‘this increased vote of the western wards, and he is going to carry them against Zie enhein. he contrast between Harrison and Zieg- enhein as to fitness for office is altogether in Harrison’s favor. The independent vote and the silk stocking Republican vote that is op ed to Filleyism will go largely to rrison. “Meriwether? Pshaw! He won't draw enough Democratic votes away from Har- rison to make a gunwad. Meriwether will draw some Republican votes away from Ziegenhein, but it is all bosh to say that he will eplit the Democratic vote. As the time draws nearer to election day — * are brighter for a Harrison Wictory “The. regular Democratic ticket, headed by Edwin Harrison for Mayor, has many iy 2＋ to commend it to the people,” said Chairman Devoy of the Democratic City Executive Committee. It is a clean ticket from top to bottom. The Republican press cannot find any candidate to attack per- sonally on our ticket. “The Harrison ticket represents the clean zee siness element of this great city. tent ap ticket is loaded with old chronic Office-seekers and Filley lieutenants. As a choice between the two tickets the inde- ndent voters and the better element can- ot hesitate in selecting our ticket. “Democrats never step out of line to fol- low a man who is not bound by regularity. im. Therefore Meriwether will not injure arrison. “Mr. Harrison and all the candidates on the ticket with him have been received with Ovations at all the s kings this week. Altogether the fridications point to Harri- gon's election by a seat | majority.” Harrison leaders sa 2 will carry Wards 2 3,4, 10 14. 17, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28.

WANTS DEEDS SET ASIDE. A Republican Politician Alleged to Have Deceived His Spouse, Then Deserted Her. According to a petition filed in Circuit Clerk Rodgers’ office Thursday Paul Kempf,- a familiar figure in Republican politics, has disappeared, leaving his wife to wonder at his absence and mourn what she alleges to have been a trick on his part to deprive her of her interest in his prop- erty. Mrs. Alice Kempf is represented by Law- yers Broadhead & Hezel, who filed the suit for oat r which is against the Paul Estate and Investment Com- E 0 0 e shares of the Paul — RR, and yg and roadway and B - cow nia st reet, Lac lede suchan- ween a avenues.

Mrs Kempf alleges that she would not have signed save for the alleged false and fraud- ulent representations of her husband. In conclusion she alleges that Kempf left her March 25 and that she does not know where he is. Lawyer Broadhead stated to a Post-Dis- patch reporter that Kempf left his wife without any explanation, and that all her efforts to locate him have been unsucceas- ful. She has not even learned whether he has left the e city. TO BUY FOURTH * STREET LINES. EASTERN CAPITALISTS ARE HERE READY TO BID. FIGHT ON CHARLES GREEN. Minority Holders Said to Be Desirous of a Change in the Re- ceivership. F. W. Roebling, the wealthy New Jersey cable manufacturer who was expected to buy the People’s and and the Fourth Street and Arsenal Street Railways, may not come to St. Louls. He was expected here Thursday and the majority bondholders were only awaiting his arrival to go into court and ask that the roads be sold. Word was received Thursday morning that illness in Mr. Roebling’s family might delay his visit. E. J. Moore, a A ergy, hia banker, and Thomas C. Barr of East range, N. . art in St. Louis prepared to bid for the property if it is offered for sale. They arrived Wednesday night and spent several hours in consultation with Charles Green, receiver for both roads. Mr. Barr said Thursday: “Natural cannot detail our plans just now. All 2 say is that we are prepared to bid for the roads if the courts order them sold. The presence of the capitalists naturally caused discussion and it was said that a petition 2 for the sale of the road would be filed in the Circuit Court shortly. Just which faction of the bondholders will present the petition is a mooted question. Both sides desire the sale of the road. The Campbell contingent desire that after the sale the proceeds shall be divided be- tween the bondholders, according to their nesting. Rumsey and a m peste of the stockholders desire that t purchase money be used to consolidate and reorgan- ize the lines. Receiver Charles Green said Thursday that the majority bondholders’ petition would be filed in a few days. There is no doubt the roads will be sold and that the reorganization will take lace, he sald. The new company will be nown as the People’s Traction Co. and will have 1 c — behind it.“ It was said T y morning that the minority ee eehibines would endeavor to have Charles Green ousted as receiver and have Julius S. Walsh appointed in his place. n to the rumor the pias lan is to con- solidate the lines with the bridge electric line and make connection with the 1 Depot Lines on this side of the river : is story was emphatically denied by al concerned. H. H.

Who- ever circulated this story laid great stress on the statement that John Scullin would be afforded a connection between his lines in East St. Louis and his lines on this side. He evidently did not know that Mr. Scul- lin had sold every dollar’s worth of his stock in the East St. Louis lines.’ Attorney Se py mone D. Thompson, for the majority bondholders, said Thursday: „Nothing will be done until the minority holders’ petition for rmission to exantine the books is argued Friday. After that the Court will undoubtedly order the sale of the roads.“ oe Remember, whatever ticket you vote at the forthcoming city election, to make your vote count on the Mbrary building tax ques- tion you must scratch the No or Yes.

CHICAGO, III., Avril 1—It is said that Hetty Green is about to foreclose Chicago mortgages amounting to $4,000,000, 0 Green, her son, says the action is necessary, as the borrowers are not even paying taxes and insurance. The mortgages average about $20,000 each. There is a fascina- tion about a vigorous, healthy woman, which touches every heart. Physical weakness is a great drawback to a woman’s social suc- cess. As she loses healthy plumpness she loses attractive - ness. A woman had even better be too stout than too thin; but either extreme shows a lack of healthy condition.

Hasgall, 4619 Morgan street, one of the proprietors of the “Fair,” has had his little daughter take treatment for Catarrh at the Copeland Institute, and is delighted with the good results that have followed. Mrs. Hasgall says:: My little daughter had been suffering very severely with Catarrh of the Head and Throat.

I found it rather pleasant than otherwise. “After I had been under treatment some time, one day as I passed out of Doctor Copeland's office to the street, the roar of the street traffic seemed terribly loud, loud- er than I had ever known it. It seemed as though the street cars had left the track and were grinding over the rough stones. I soon saw that I was mistaken.

Bacallao and — — = Lieut. Terry of his staff. The man who be- trayed Rivera, it is asserted, is Gonzalo Jorrin, a lawyer of Havana. Senors Jorrin, Emilio Guaz and Jose Maria Paz were sent by Gen. Weyler not very long ago to see if Gen. Rivera wauld ac- cept the Canovas scheme of ret Sen. Gomez had ordered all his chiefs not to receive such commissions, but Gen. Rivera let this one go into his camp on the foot- hills near San Cristobal. It is asserted now that Senor Jorrin dis- closed the location of the camp and its approaches and led the forces under Col. De Velasco to the spot. The Cubans are 80 that the authorities are guarding Jorrin's house on Cerro street. Spanish say Gen. Rivera foolishly re- in the same camp six weeks, had no outposts and was surprised. It is im- ible to get at the exact truth of the capture. The Spanish report that Gen. Rivera had — 1 100 men. The number of Spanish es s not given, but it is said that 4,500, with cavalry and two pieces of artillery, surrounded the camp and shelled it. The official report only gives ten rebels as killed and one Spanish soldier, although the fight lasted several hours. It is believed that Gen. Rivera had 2,000 men and that the losses were much heavier on both sides than the Spanish report. It s said that they only credited Gen. Rivera with 100 men. Gen. Weyler has officially de- clared the presence pacified, and the ab- surdity of that statement would be shown if Gen. Rivera’s full strength was made known. The certain execution of Gen. Rivera ex- cites indignation and disgust in Havana. It is predicted that if Rivera is shot Gen. Gomez will avenge his death by hanging fa number of Spanish prisoners in Santiago Province, and that, moreover, he will spare no Spaniard in future who may be cap- tured by the — 1 — forces.

This took place within an hour’s ride of Havana ity, in a pacifled' province. Gen. Lee ‘to Remain. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1—It is said at the State Department that no suc- cessor has been selected to take n. Lee’s lace as Consul-General at Havana; that e has not been cabled a leave of absence to take effect on April 15, and, finally, that there has been no change in the status of the Consul-General. It is also intimated that there is no intention of making any change in the Consulate General, in the near future at least. Gen, Lee may be as- sisted in the task of watching the investiga- tion in the Ruiz case by John Day of Canton, O., provided counsel is believed to be essential to the development of the facts, but the position of Mr. Day in such case would be purely advisory. Resolutions in the Senate. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1. — The open session of the Senate Wednesday lasted less than half an hour. It was productive of another Cuban resolution by Mr. Mills of Texas, calling on the Committee on For- eign Affairs for 4 report of the obligations assumed by the United States in insisting that Cuba should not be annexed to any European power and should remain subject to Spain. Mr. Hale’s objection sent the resolution over. * e also leces. The Mo n resolution, calling on President for Gen.

Mr. James Carter appeared for the Traf- fic Association. He announced concurrence in the motion to advance, saying that his clients were very anxious to have the case heard before adjournment for the summer.

She Was Getting Worse and Worse. We tried one remedy for about a year without any good resulting, but some time ago I received a letter from my brother-in- law, Dr. C. B. Reno, a dentist of Linneus, Mo., who had been taking the Copeland treatment for Catarrh, saying he would not take 3500 for the benefit he had received. “Then I determined to take Era to the Copeland Institute for treatment, and I must say that the improvement in her case is something simply remarkable. I did not believe it possible that such good results could be attained. The disagreeable symp- toms have been speedily removed and I can not speak too highly of the Copeland treat- ment.

My head was all stopped up in the mornings, and I had terrible headaches. My appetite was “I could hardly see at all, and often had severe pains in my head and in the sides of my face. My throat was always sore and at times seemed to close up so that I would gasp for breath. I had pains in my chest and I would ache from head to foot. The pain was so great that some- times I cried the whole night long. “My friends all knew of my sickness, and ‘| Mrs. N. C. Bosquit of 1811 Gaty avenue sent word to me to go to Dr. Copeland; that she had been marvelously cured by him, and that he could, cure me, if such a thing were possible.

The troops were forced to abandon the coaches and took retuge in a plantation near by, proceeding to fortify emselves in a large building on the estate.

NEW YORK, April 1—The Times this morning says: Although the Eastern trunk lines and the Western connections will con- tinue to operate under the joint traffic agreement until compelled to cease from 80 doing by an adverse decision of the United States Supreme Court, the railroad men, almost without expection, are preparing for a vigorous campaign in favor of the pass- age of a pooling law by Congress. Chauncey M. Depew, chairman of the Joint Traffic Board of Control, says that in a proper pooling law lies the only solution of the ex- isting railroad troubles. The bill intro- duced by Senator Foraker, he remarked yesterday, was designed to enable railroad managers to make the satisfactory agree- ments and keep out of jail. The Tribune this morning says: There is no sign of an outbreak of rate-cutting among the railroads as a result of the United States Supreme Court decision in the Trans-Migssouri Freight Association case. C. D. Simons, general Eastern agent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, said last night: “I have been trying to-day to find out if rate-cutting has been done in the Bast or the West and have failed abso- ocate a single instance.

HIMSELF BECAUSE HIS WIFE SOUGHT A DIVORCE. HIS LIFE IS DESPAIRED of. When Ghe Refused His Final Appeal . Last Night, He Tried Self Mur- der Before Her Eyes. The condition of Charles B. Beattie, the salesman who attempted to commit suicide Wednesday night,was such Thursday morn- . ing that his life was almost despaired of. 7 He was conscious, but in great pain, and slowly sinking. He is being nursed by his wife, whose re- , fusal to return to his house and live with him prompted him to try to take his life. Beattie has been living for the last three months with his parents at 1435 Wright etreet. Prior to that time he and his wife lived at 1515 Hebert street, but when she sued him for a divorce they broke up house- keeping, he going to his parents and she to hers at 1911 Sarah street. The estrangement weighed greatly on Beattie. Time and again he begged his wife to return to him, and often threatened to {ll himself if she persisted in her refusal. he, however, had made up her mind when she filed her tition that they never could get along amicably together and would not allow herself to be won over. About 7:30 o’clock Wednesday night Beat- tie went to 1911 Sarah street and asked to see his wife. She went to him in the parlor, taking with her their 3year-old boy. For half an hour the man pleaded for forgive- ness. He insisted that the divorce suit be rawn and that the wife return to him, „No,“ said Mrs. Beattie, finally, it has gone too far to draw back now.“ “Well,” replied the man. ‘‘I’ll tell you one e courts will never separate us. e t do you mean?“ asked the woman. „e kill myself.“ was Beattie’s reply. Mrs. Beattie smiled. He had made this threat so often that it had become an old story to her and she did not believe for a moment that he meant what he said. re “Don’t do anything like that, Charley, she said, with a view to quieting him.

Beattie fell to the floor, and the frightened child ran toward its father. Mrs. Beattie seized the little one in her arms and ran into the hall. She met her mother, who had heard the shot, and told her what had happened. Dr. John M. Grant of 4132 Easton avenue was sent for and hurried to the house. He found that the bullet had missed the heart, ut had passed clear through the — just above this organ. The would-be suicide’s condition was such that the physician ad- vised against his removal from the house, and he was accordingly put to bed.

IS NOW SISTER MARY AMBROSE. Archbishop Kain Gives Her the Black Veil and Receives Misses Kane and Bauer. — In the beautiful little chapel] of the Visita- tion Convent, at Cabanne, was gathered, early Thursday afternoon, an assemblage representative of the city’s aristocracy and wealth. Social leaders, reigning belles and popular beaux knelt in the straight-backed pews, studied the white or blue and gold of the dainty frescoing, or gazed at their neighbors’ Lenten costumes, that yielded naught in elegance, though they compro- mised in tone, to the penitential season, For all the remembered gayety their coming together evoked, it was a somber gathering. They were present to witness one who had been the brightest and gayest in their circle forswear all worldly pleasure, denounce the life they were leading as van- ity and hollowness, make perpetual vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, and devote herself to a life of penance and prayer in the cloister. Miss Mamie Cabanne, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Charless Cabanne of 4334 Westminster place, after a year’s novitiate, was to become a professed member of the Visitation Order. Her triends doubted atly that she would persevere in her re ~ aye intentions. They could not understand why she, who had entered with so much zest into social gayeties 8 the two years between her raduation and her abnegation, could en- ure the uneventful, even trying life of the cloister. But Miss Cabanne’s novitiate had only n her spirit of dedication. She entered the sanctuary and knelt at the feet of Archbishop Kain eager to make the rome that would bind her life to the sister- 0 Services opened with the singing of the Venl Creator“ by the convent choir. Arch- bishop Kain, seated at the altar, received the novice, who entered the sanctuary, clothed in the black habit, but still wearing the white veil of the neophyte. He asked if she was determined to persist in her in- tention to devote herself wholly to Christ. She answered affirmatively. Then the Archbishop questioned the Mother Superior ‘and the mistress of novices. They answered for the edifying conduct of the 8282 and expressed their willingness that she should become a member of the community. The novice then prostrated herself on the altar steps and was covered with a Black = to signify her death to the world and urial in the clotster. The Archbishop then administered the three vows, blessed the nun and turned her over to the Mother Superior, who em- braced her and led her to the nun's choir, where she was welcomed in turn by each member of the community, who gave her the kiss of peace. Previous to Miss Cabanne’s profession, Miss Mattie Kane, a daughter of Dr. J. J. Kane, and Miss Bauer were received as novices. Rev. Michael Burroughs, S. J., delivered an appropriate sermon previous to the reception. Following the rece Benediction of the ment was given. Miss Cabanne, who is now Sister Mary Ambrose for life, took the white veil March 2, 1896. This was but two weeks rior to the marriage of her twin sister, fiss Fannie Cabanne, to Mr. Laurie Pier- son of Pittsburg. She was to have been maid of honor at the wedding, but gave up the social honor to become a bride of the church. . Best Line to Florida. Through Pullman.

In olden times it was customary to bury the saints in catacombs and in- dicate rank by the word ‘Patric,’ meaning atrician, cut in the stone at the mouth of he grave. One of these tombs may have been confounded with that of St. Patrick of Ireland. As far as the church has been able to learn his resting place is unknown, and consequently anything said to de taken om it is open to question. St. Paul is among the Saints entombed in Rome and no question can arise relative to his remains because they have been constantly guarded by the church, just like the tomb of Wash- ington is under surveillance of thé Govern- Ladies’ Fine Shoes, Made by America’s Most Celebrated Shoemakers, At Cut Prices. re- to at his his Ww i.

It was labeled House bill No. 1, and referred to the Ways and Means Committee. At intervals it was pulled out of the pigeon hole and made the butt of jokes as decrepit as itself, and there were a few hearings, but the bill was filed at the last meeting, along with another of the same import.
