GREENVILLE, Miss., April 3.—Going east glong Washington avenue this morning and looking northward a wide sheet of water may be seen covering the entire north half of the city. @Vithout the protection levee, which keeps out the rising water from the business part of the «ity, great damage would be done to the provisions and food Supplies and much suffering would ensue. All necessary shopping, marketing, visit- ing of physicians and the like in the over- flowed sections of Greenville is done by ekiffs, and every street and alley contains whole fieets of these, built in every con- celvable shape and size, darting in and out @round the corners of houses. Much more water is due here yet, and no One can say how much higher it will rise in the houses here in town. All three erevasses above here are pouring their tor- frente into the besin which lies between the river and the eastern hills, and the whole country will unquestionably be filled. Communication by telegraph is still main. tained With the outer world. As fast as a pole is thrown down a force of men hurries to the point and rebuilds the line. Reail- road traffic is entirely cut off and all roads running into here are entirely tied up. Mall is transferred at Elizabeth, twelve miles east of here, at the junction of the Valley and Southern roads, and a skiff ma!! line has been established between here and that point. There are now about 10,000 peo- ple in this city. Four or five thousand of these are in the flooded section and natural- ly suffering among the poorer classes is be- ginning to be felt. More water is coming down. The drain- fge of twenty-seven States pours into this Walley and there is no outlet for the pent- @p fiood until the ‘Mississippi falls low Bnough at Vicksburg to let it drain off. NEW ORLEANS, La., April 3.—The river as been stationary for two days, and while @ccasional winds and rains have created Uneasiness, the section is in full enjoyment of the breathing spell promised by the en- gineers. The time is being put to good use. Boatioadd and trainloads of sacks and lum- ber are being sent out in every direction, Boats and depots of supplies are being placed gt regular intervals, and even spots not ex- actly dangerous are being treated with the engineer's prescription of more earth. The rallroads are keeping engines and trains ready foér emergencies, and are running patrol trains all the time, increasing facili- ties for early discovery and prompt repair of any breaks.

LOSES PATIENCE, — WILL SEND NO MORE PROTESTS TO THE ADMIRALS. BLOCKADE OF GREECE. It Is Said the Powers Will Proceed to Close Her Ports Within a Few Days. LONDON, April 3.—The Daily Telegraph has an interview with Col. Vassos. The Greek commander declared that the pro- test recently sent by him to the foreign admirals would be the last document of the sort that would be sent. Vassos said that he does not regard the admirals as the true representatives of Europe’s atitude. He maintained that he had quieted the entire Christian popula- tion and repressed every form of crime, rendering life and property as secure as in England and France, He had established hospitals and prisons, built: bridges and ap- pointed judges and sanitary officers. All the reforms had been effected in seven weeks. ‘“Tf,”’ said Vassos, “the European forces had done in the towns what I have done in the country, perfect peace might reign till Greece completed the negotiations with Europe for a recognition of her claims to Crete and not a drop of blood need have been shed.”’ Vassos told of the way the ships fired on the Christians to protect the Bashi Bazouks., The Christians retreated and the Turks en- tered the village and set fire to the houses, a church and a monastery. “This,’”’ Vassos exclaimed, “is the work of Christian Europe. The,condition of affairs is now infinitely worse than ever before. The Admirals have made it so. I say de- liberately and reluctantly that unless the European people listen to the voice of hu- manity before it is too late, this unhappy island will be deluged throughout with tor- rents of blood.’”’ In ognclusion, Col. Vassos emphatically repudiated the statement made in the British House of Commons that he made war on the powers. LONDON, April 3—Mr. Gladstone has written to Phillip J. Stanhope, M. P., .for Burniey, that he hopes Parliament will re- sist firmly the assumption by the Powers of the right to choose a ruler for the Cretans. The Powers, Mr. Gladstone adds, are en- CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE. "BURIAL PERMITS. The following deaths have been re. ported in the city during the twenty-four hours ending at noon: BASIE BIRD, 7@, 80 Market; apoplexy.

Policeman Reedy of the Fourth District had a running fight with a trio of burglars at 2 o’clack Saturday morning on Twenty- third and Biddle sffeets, in which a half dozen shots were exchanged. The eee was standing on Twenty- second.and Carr streets when he saw three men carrying boxes of c'gars sneaking into the alley. He gave chase. The men ran through the alley and dropped their plun- der, consisting of twenty-eight boxes of cl- ars. At the mouth of the alley one of the ugitives fired three shots at the policeman. He returned the fire. The fugitives made their escape. Policeman ierney was standing on Twenty-second and Washington avenue, When he heard the firing he ran in the 4l- rection of the shots. At Franklin avenue and Twenty-third street he discovered a m creeping south close to the building line in the shadows. He placed him under ar- rest. The fellow was Willie O’Keefe, an ex- convict and well-known thief. O’Keefe de- nied knowing anything about the shooting. Later Policeman Tierney discovered that the liquor store of Widmer & Kloker, 2200 Franklin avenue, had been entered and $75 worth of cigars stolen. The cigars dropped by the three men in the alley were identified by Mr. Widmer as his property. JAPAN'S HOLIDAY. Ceremonies in Honor of the Founding of the Empire. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 3.—The great national holiday of Japan is inaugurated to-day, this date commemorating thé accession of Jimmu, the first Emperor, who laid the foundation of the Jananese empire, 2,500 years before Christ. Out of complfment to the gentler sex, the celebration this year has been designated as “The Feast of Women,” and the ceremonies will have spe- cial reference to the encouragement given by the Emperor to all movements for the advancement of the sex. WILL WINE ROOMS BE SUPPRESSED? —— POLICE BOARD’S INSTRUCTIONS ARE QUITE CLEAR. NO EXCEPTIONS TO BE MADE. The Board’s Orders Refer to the Char- acter of Frequenters, Not to the Style of the Dive. — Police Commissioner Bannerman’s protest against the raiding of John Davis’ wine- room will not stop the police crusade against the dives. Mr. Bannerman’s protest was based on the claim that Davis had no private booths in his place, but served all his customers in jone big public drinking-room. Acting Chief Kiely was nonplussed for a while, but when he asked the Board for furtheft instructions he was told that the manner of the room made no difference. His instructions were to raid all public drinking places frequeftited by immoral wo. men and their consorts. That the duty of Acting Chief Kiely and his captairf is plain is evidenced by the board's order In the premises. The Jetter of instruction reads ag follows: ST. LOUIS, March 2, 1897. To All Captains: ~ Gentlemen—lI desire to call your atten- tention to an existing evil that must be suppressed.

BUSY SCENES ON THE LEVEE, Rain in the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys Makes a 33-Foot Stage Possible. SPECIAL FLOOD WARNING. The river at St. Louis will continue to rise. More rain is indicated in the Saturday afternoon and night, and it now looks as if the danger line of 30 two days. | Persons having property interests which can be affected by a stage of 31 or 32 feet, or less, within three days, are advised to take steps to protect |them. While this stage may not be reached within that time, it is fairly probable that it will. will continue to rise, and the lines will be reached at all points not hitherto reached on the latter river from Keokuk south within two days, Warnings have also been sent to all points on the Mississippi from Keokuk to St. Louis to prepare for a further rise of about two feet.- It is impossible Saturday to closely estimate the amount of the rise on ac- count of rain which will fall Saturday and possibly Sunday.

NEW YORK, April 3.—The Government animale at the Greek service. LONDON, April 3.—The correspondent of the Daily Chronicle at Athens says that news comes from the frontier of insu t bands already crossing it. It says that no one can-hold them longer in check. Al- bania is on the verge of revolt. The corre- spondent adds: “I can also confirm the re- ort of the existence of a secret treaty etween Russia and *Turkey, negotiated by Prince Lobanoff, and the report that the Sultan is again trying to arrange Cretan difficulty by direct negotiations with reece.”’ The Standard publishes a dispatch from its Constantinople correspondent which says: Great efforts are being made in in- fluential Turkish quarters to induce Sultan to win England to his side if possi- ble on the ground of a community of in- terests. Great Britain and Turkey are the two greatest Mussulman Powers in the world. Similar feelings prevail among the Moslems in Crete, including the garrison, and it is actually reported that the result of these efforts may be ere long the hoisting of the British flag in Crete and the procia- mation of Britis ereignty. Indeed, I am told that an intimation to this effect has already been conveyed to the Sultan. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 3.—It is stated on undoubted authority that the efficient rkish forces were to carr n pre strategists in Berlin. The grea dence, therefore, is felt in military_ circles here as to the outcome of any conflict be- tween Greece and Turkey.

Ziegler and Brady ad an exciting battle Saturday morning with Clarence Ritch‘e and his brother John, in which the officers only succeeded in es- caping serious injury by superior strength. They used rare judgment in refraining ffom inflicting*s@rious Injury on their assailants. Clarence Ritchie is the local lightweight ugilist who fought with McFarland at Thrig’s Cave last Sunday. He was wanted for this offense. The detectives were sent out to locatesnd bring him in. He is a barber and was found in‘his. shop on Jefferson avenué, near O'Fallon street. He went with the officers quietly enough, but asked them to go with him to his brother John, who keeps a shop on Twenty- third and O'Fallon streets. hen they en- tered the shop O'Connell was holding Ritchie and the other two were in tke rear. Ritchie suddenly broke away from O’Con- nell, and, grabbing a razor and en | mug, defied him to arrest him. O’Conne apenne for his prisoner and fighting shy of the wicked razor attempted to knock the weapon from his grasp with his gun. John Ritchie came to his brother's assist- ance with a revolver, He leveled the weapon at O’Connell and threatened to shoot him if he did*not get out. O’Connell turned his attention to the man with the gun, and Ziegler and Brady coming 1nf,: covered the other man with their revolvers. O'Connell isarmed John Ritchie after a short strug- gie, in which the barber tried his utmost to shoot him. The two were finally landed in the holdover.

Joseph Stanley, one of the two Home Brewery robbers, whose trial occupied several days last week, and resulted in a mistrial, entered a plea of guilty Saturday at noon and took a five years’ penitentiary sentence. Stanley’s attorneys, Bass & Martin, had conferred with Circuit Attorney Eggers, and it was partially agreed that the Circuit Attorney would agree to ashortterm. Mr. Eggers changed his mind, however, and de- clined to recommend clemency, Judge Zachritz said that the case had been tried once, and owing to bad management a clear case was not made out, and he did ndt think it could be. The Judge said he felt inclined to accept the plea, and if the Circuit Attorney had any opposition or recommendations he would be pleased to hear from him, Mr. Eggers declined to either oppose or recommend. He thought he could make out a case, and was willing to go to trial again. ' Stanley, with Joseph True, alias Mc- Laughlin, and William Wolf, entered the Home Brewery office and, ae Cashier Hofferkamp and Bookkeeper Kredell, wen: through the cash drawer and took $1,80). They were arrested and confessed to the police. The court ruled the confessions out, holding that they were gained by the police holding out inducements. It is now thought that Wolf and True will enter pleas of guilty. Cheap excursion to Memphis via Illinois Central Railroad Saturday, April 3; $5.00 for the round trip. ZIEGENHEIN REBUKED.

Zelda consented. Annie refused. She preferred to remain with her mother, within reach of the liquor she craved. Mrs. Smith resisted long before she con- sented to give up the babe.

The matron kept her promise. But she limited Zelda's supply. Instead of two and three boxes a day, she was given one cigarette at a time, and the number limited, in the effort to cure her of the habit. She stood it for a while, but as the craving grew and mastered her, she became violent.

The most common and annoying is itching piles indicated by warmth, slight moisture and intense, uncontrollable itching in the parts affected. The usual treatment has been some simple ointment or salve which sometimes give temporary relief, but nothing like a permanent cure can be expected from such superficial treatment. The only permanent cure for itching piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not only for itching piles, but for every other form of piles, blind, bleeding or protruding. The first application gives instant relief and the continued use for a short time causes a permanent removal oi the tumors or the small parasites which cause the intense itching and discomfort of itching piles. Many physicians for a = time sup- sed that the remarkable relief afforded - the Pyramid Pile Cure was because it was supposed to contain cocaine, opium, or similar drugs, but such is not the case. A recent careful analysis of the remedy showed it to be absolutely free from any cocaine, opium, or in fact any poisonous hatever.

CROMWELL LEFT THE IN- SANE ASYLUM TOO SOON.. TRIED TO JUMP FROM A TRAIN. Husband Was Bringing Her Home Cured, T. V. Cromwell went to Fulton, Mo., Fri- day to take his wife from the State Insane Asylum No. 3, where she had been confined for more than two yéars, The physicians said she was about cured and advised Crom- well to take her back to St. Louis and go to housekeeping. They thought the change would benefit her. Cromwell was delighted and thankfully he started to obey their instructions. No sooner had the train started when Mrs. Cromwell's mental malady returned with renewed violence, She fought aud struggled all th® way and when they arrived in St. Louls on the Missouri Pacific train Satur- day morning Mrs. Cromwell was a raving maniac and her husband was almost dis- tracted with grief at her condition, and the strain under which he had labored in keep- ne, her from tBrowing herself from the rain. A telegram had been sent to the Police Department and Policeman Dixon met the train and took charge of the crazed woman. She was remov at once to the City Hos- pital, where she was placed in an observa- tion cell. Cromwell has always made his home in St. Louis. Nine yéars ago he married Bertha Helmhorst, a deughter of Henry Helm- horst, an enginéer on the Iron Mountain Railroad. Two children were born to them, and for a numbér of years they lived hap- pily. Three years ago Mrs, Cromwell's mind egan to fail. She was treated by local phy- siclans. They said she was suffering from a mild form of dementia, and thought she would recover were she placed in an asy- lum for the insane. Mr. Cromwell placed her in Asylum No. 3 at Fulton. She was not considered a violent patient; and derived great pleas- ure from her husband's frequent visits. She realized her condition and would talk freely about when she would return to her home. She continued to grow better and recently the physicilana thought she could go home with eget Mrs. Cromwell did not want to accom- pany her husband home Friday. She said she was getting so much better that she was afraid to risk leavi the institution. She dreaded the return of the disease. She apeke rationally, however, and her husband and the physicians thought she was merely nervous and lacked confidence. The journey home had no more than be- gun than Mrs. Cromwell began to talk irra- tionally. She upbraided her husband for taking her against her will from so pleas- ant a place. She had no desire to come back to St. Louls and said if he insisted she would kill mecees — too. He tried to calm her without avail. Suddenly she bfoke from him and dashed toward the rear platform, ifitending to throw herself from the car. Her husband caught her at the ty. . — the ais of the trainmen put her n the seat. All night Crom@ell sat beside her holding her and trying to assure her that he was only acting for her She struggled all night and Crémwell was not given one moment's respite. The trainmen and pas- sengers volunteered to aid him, but he thought he could, quiet his wife if an could, and he refused to leave her side. When the train, drew into Union Station Cromwell gave wife over to Patrolman Dixon. An ambulance was in waiting and she was driven ct to the City Hospital. She declared she was not sick and that her hueband was just trying to make her trouble. After ng locked up she quieted down a little, but continued to berate her band. "Tie.

Out in Illinois, -there’s a city called Peoria, that is mother to the first man who ever safely dropped from above the clouds by the aid of a parachute. The man’s name is Tom Baldwin, and he still lives in the city of Quincy in his native State. When Baldwin was a boy in Peoria he used to read about balloon- ing and the stories of the men who had invented parachutes that were failures and had lost their lives by jumping from against disease, ei The average man overworks at his busi- ness and it crushes him. There is a life-preserver, a within the reach of the thousands of men and women who have overworked and who feel “run down.” That life-preserver and that precaution is Dr. Pierce's Golden M ; It cures 98 cent. of all t is the great b and fiesh-builder. It cures bronchitis, asthma, nasal catarrh.and throat troubles. ses of con- dead tissues are torn dowr and excreted and new, firm, healthy tissues built up in their places. nerves, which are de- pendent upon the blood for their nutri- ment, resume their proper functions. di- recting the action of all the organs of the body. The brain becomes clear and is no longer. befo by prwnsowe fumes from impurities in the blood. The “Goldes Medical Discovery” will cure all diseases ee D Ps —— that their patachutes would lower them gently and safely to mother earth. Young Tom ‘noticed that all these: parachutes were made dike umbrellas‘ with stiff ribs and a stiff, straight handle. He also read that while these crude para- chutes for a short distance performed their purpose and lowered thew human freight. gently toward the earth, they tipped over before reaching it and dashed the unfortunate inventor to the ground. Young Baldwin figured and figured, and finally made up his mind that the reason these crude parachutes tipped over was not because the air failed to support them, but because too solid a column of air was formed beneath them, causing sidewise in the effort to obey the law of gravitation. With this theory in mind, young Baldwin invented a _ parachute made of canvas, like an ordinary sail, but umbrella-shaped, and with a hole at the apex, permitting the column of air to es- cape and the porecnes to descend gently but steadily. With this mag tay para- chute Baldwin went to San Francisco, made an ascent in a balloon at Golden Gate and dropped from this parachute and landed safely in the Bay. Since that day parachute leaping has become a recognized vocation. There is hardly a Country fair at which there isn’t a balloon ascension and a parachute leaper. A pupil of Baldwin's, named Forsman, has this to say about the dan- gers of parachuting: “Rightly conducted and with proper precautions, there is much less risk in a parachute leap than the observer would suppose. The accidents that occur are almost without exception due to care- lessness or absolute recklessness on the art of the aeronaut and his assistants. For instance, through utter neglect the parachute is permitted to get into an un- safe condition. Again, the jumper is sent up in close proximity to a large body of water, without wearing a life-preserver. The consequence is that across current ot wind in the upper atmosphere carries him out over the water and when he drops he is drowned before assistance can reach him. The greatest danger, however, that confronts the parachute leaper, he daily meets in order to save a little trouble. It is this way: an inflated bal- loon of normal construction will, after the aeronaut has cut his parachute loose, travel miles out into.the country before it finally turns over and falls to the ground. This would necessitate a long trip in a wagon out into the country to find the balloon and haul it back. at means time, trouble and money. To avoid this, the top of the balloon is weighted so that a moment or two after the parachute is cut loose and drops, the balloon turns over and comes fallin down after it. A balloon weighs a many pounds. If it misses the parachute, all right; if it hits the parachute, that's the end of the parachute pane, This is the greatest danger in parachute leapin nd it ne that parachtite leapers dai pane with an icy nerve that is aunued- ing.” ; fi isn’t — in ompny > 14 bom ge that _in order to Save @ oney mes ble deliberately set wane tet their own lives.

The notion that the floods have been ag-. gravated by the confining of the river by the levees, and the theory that the floods are increased in severity by the cutting down of forests, are not supporte@ by the’ facts of history. \ Long before there were any considerable sections of leveed lands in the Mississipp! Valley, and when there had been but little clearing off of the vast forests that once covered Ohio, Indiana, Illindis, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the region which is chiefly respon- sible for the great floods in the Mississippi River, there were seasons when the mighty waters covered the greater part of the Mis- sissipp! Valley. | | Records of thefe floods are to be found in the important report on the Missigsipp! River, by Gens. Humphreys and Abbot of the United States engineers. The facts were collected from every attainablé source, and present surprising information to those whoa suppose that there were no extraordinary overflows from the river in the period be- fore levees and extensive wood cutting were known, It is somewhat astanishing to read that in 1735, 162 years ago, the river rose fifteen feet above low water at New Orleans and inundated the city. The official. teports show that in Louisiana, as late as 1752, the levees extended only twenty miles below and thirty miles above New Orleans, pr there was not a levee in Arkansas and Mis- sissippi. The settligg process in the country along the river was gradual, except on the bluffs. As late as 18, after Louisiana had come into the possession of the United States, the official reports show that there were no settlements on the lowlands of the territory of Louisiana above Pointe Coupee,, except a small place called Concordia, 6p- posite Natchez. There was no other until New Madrid was reached. That place is now in Missouri. There were great floods in the years 1770, 1782, 1785, 1791, 1796, 1799, 1809, 1811, 1813, and many others of later date. Even when there were so few levees, and almost the entire country was open, so that the floods could flow over it without obstruction, the fact remains that the levees of that early period were periodically swept away, and the plan- also that from the earliest times, at irregu- lar imtervals, the Mississippi Valley has been subject to excessive visitations of water, and the same sort of thing goes on, and will go on, forever. ' Graduated Transfer Taxes. From the New York Journal. The favorable report from committee of the Dudley bill at Albany is a matter of recurrent interest. This measure, embody- ing State Comptroller Robert's just and logical tax theorem, has already been made the object of comment by the Journal. Briefly to recount the provisions of this law, it adds an accumulating rate of 1 per cent for each additional $250,000 or major fraction thereof on all personal es- tate exceeding $500,000 now subject to the 5 per cent rate, Where the estate exceeds a * qiry the joll aah veh + toe panes ae oe people's taxes to eultivate pleas- ant personal relations with his friends and alipe ® check for forty-one hundred and two down his boot leg at each ient oppor- tunity; it is not that I love Harrison less, nor Col.

Together we are invincible, and will sweep the town. I know a thing or two in politics, and when I saw this great combination I put on my asbestos night shirt, filed my pockets with dynamite bombs and skyrockets and went down and joined the Merryhellers. When I got there a pale young man in a high collar, and the dyspepsia, and not much else, was mounted on a table &appar- ently trying to wipe up the earth with eleven policemen, while all the Merryhellers were trying to see if they could not push him, through the abdomen of a big, fat “copper.” “Great Scott! What is that?” said I. “That,” said a man next to me, “is Col. Arnold Winkelreid Bond in his great act of being elected chairman of the convention,” ‘‘How many votes did he get?” said Il. “We don’t know,” says the man. “There wasn't any roll call and there wasn’t any roll made up to call it from.” “Did the mob in the aisles vote, too?” says I. “It did,” says he, “Then how did he know he was elected?” says I. ‘“‘Heavens!"’ says the man, “are you a tool of the money power?” “No, sir,” says I, “the tax- ing, franchise grab- bing —” “Pass on, friend,” says he. Just then another pale young man, in a shirt collar 6f high degree, and an air of extreme self-possession ran up a miniature fire escape and began to harangue the crowd. The effect was electric. The women screamed, the dogs barked. “It ia Col, Merryheller himself,” they roared. A fury of hysterics seized the crowd, and my as- bestos night shirt began to burn. Says he, “The desperate minions of the law (yells) tations were devastated. The fact remaing | Controlled by the money power (more yells), have seized the constitutional Chairman of the convention.” (Horrible uproar—men frothing at the mouth—women fainting in *the arms of the best looking men all over the hall—smoke coming up my back from my asbestos night shirt diverts my notice.) When I got it out, I. says, “What was that?” “That,” says the crowd, “was Col. Merryhell in his great act of persuading the people not to rend the 8,000 policemen.” “And did they rend?” says I. “Nope,’” says they. “Col. Merryhel] wouldn't let them.” Says I, “Where is Col. Marco Bozarris Vrooman?” “It is not his act,” said the crowd. Just then Col, Vroom eaped on the table. “We want 91,000 and’ we want it quick,” says he. A man started forward, like mad, flung Col. Vrooman a $1 bill. “The wages of honest toil,” says he, “given to down the dodge grabbing and tax franch- ing,” shouted the man. Then he ran back of Col. Merryhell’s chair. Col.

In cases where the present law lays a tax of 1 per cent, an accumulating rate of one-half of 1 per cent shall be assessed on each additional $250,000 or major frac- tion thereof above $2,500,000; except that in the case of an estate of $4,000,000 the ag- gregate rate shall be only 10 per cent, This equity of making rich estates bear an accumulating tax of this nature is based on the soundest justice and phi- losophy. The same principle underlies the English law of personal taxation, though different in detail and more extended in application. It has worked admirably, and no jurist or thinker abroad questions either its legality or effectiveness of result. No saner legislation has ‘been offered at Al- bany for many a long year. As a means of adding to the public income by taxing inheritances it has been estimated that its increment to the State would be very con- siderable and possibly lighten other taxes more difficult for the body of the commu- nity to bear. It is certainly a long step in a desirable direction, and recommends itself to that keen sense-of justice which remembers that wealth can far better af- ford to part with what the State charges it withal than can the poor or moderately circumstanced. As an inheritance charge, too, such an increased rate should fall lightly on devisees who have not earned the wealth which is taxed. Right-thinking men will pray that the bill will become a law. Kinley, the President’s mother, objected to being called “Mother McKinley.” “No, she don’t,” was the reply. ‘That is just what she does like to be called.

But Herr Bartholdt ventures perilously near the danger line when he says that President McKinley is holding up Mis- souri appointments until after this elec- tion in order that Mr. Filley, who is just now very busy, may have more time to make out a slate. Herr Bartholdt is sly, devilish sly, but we very mu¢h fear he is growing overbold. President McKinley's answer to Herr. Bartholdt is the appointment of Kerens’ candidate for Governor of Oklahoma, anda his pressing upon Major Bittinger, who plays holy water to Filley’s Satan, the office of Postmaster at St. Joseph.

Under the*present divorce law of that State, which the Senate refused to amend, any person*who has lived in the State ninety days may begin an action for divorce. And the Dakota courts have apparently become parties to a scheme to make divorce cheap and easy. These cases are railroaded through, nearly always by default, as collusion could be clearly proved in nearly all of them if any judge should care to in- stitute and prosecute an inquiry. The laws governing publication pro- ceedings appear, also, to have been drawn with a view to facilitate the work, and altogether existing conditions justify the charge made by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the State that they “make North Dakota a dump- ing ground for the scum of humanity.” A remarkable utterance, growing out of the State Senate’s refusal to act, is Bishop Shanley’s open letter, in which he practically charges that Senators were bribed with funds raised by divorce lawyers. Such a charge from such a source can- not be lightly regarded. The moral sen- passed ‘the dollar to Col. Merryhell. Col. Merryhell passed it to the man. He rushed forward again. “One dollar,” he says, “from a bedridden seamstress, who can’t come, to help the cause of the people,” he said. Ten times that dollar passed around, like Col. Davy Crockett’s. coon skins, and then Col. Vrooman jumped up and says he, “Six hundred dollars for the cause of the people.” ‘‘What is that?” says «I., “That,” says the crowd, “is Col.

The band began to play “Hail to the Chief.” The skyrock- ets began to go off, a chorus of beautiful maidens sang a song, punctuated with the noise of exploding bombs and blasts of mu- sic from the band, while the man whom Col. Merryhell calls ‘““The Raggedest Dem- ocrat of Them All’ (the Colonel's Democ- racy is rather ragged) came down an aisle created by the interlacing fire ofthe sky- rockets, as the maidens sang: “See the conquering hero comes! Sound the trumpets! beat the drums! Flushed with a purple grace, He sfiows his honest face, Now give the hautboys breath! he comes! he comes!” While we all bowed down to the ground and the Colonel took his stand upon the platform with a smile that was childlike and bland, he waved his hand and says he: “This boodling must stop!” (Cheers.) Says the Colonel: “This thing of giving away franchises to John Scullin,” says he, “‘is awful.” (Furious applause from the mem- bers of the Civic Federation.)

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 38.—Under the aus- pices of some forty clergymen of all de- nominations, and with interesting ceremo- nies, the Greater New York Exposition of the House and Home will be opened in the Grand-Central Palace this evening. In- vitations to be present had been extended to President McKinley and Vice-President Hobart by a committee of divines, but press of public business compelled both to send regrets. The purpose of the exposition is to de- monstrate the progress and improvements made in the construction and interior dec- orations of the house and home of recent ears. There are three classes, one-rang- ng from architects’ plans to drawing ma- terials, a second comprising all kinds of builders’ materials, and a third interior decorations and furnishings, including ‘carpets, rugs, furniture, we 8, statues and household supplies. In addition there is a complete working electrical kitchen with meals prepared by electricity and public demonstrations and lessons in elec- tric cooking. Among the cities represented In the expo- eition are Chicago, Columbus, O.; Buffalo, Detroit, Wheeling, W. Va.; Philadelphia, Baltimore and Indianapolis. The interest of the clergy in the exposition is largely due to the fact that the proceeds are to go towards the founding of an unsectarian home for unfortunate women. HEAVY DAMAGES ASKED. Suit for $2,200,000 Against the Bos- ton and Montana Company. HBLENA, Mont., April 3..The decision of Judge Knowles in the United States ‘ Court at Helena in the injunction suits of the Boston and Montana Co. against E.

DONE IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES An American Rowed Bow for the Vic- tors and the Vanquished Had a Yankee, Too. PUTNEY, England, April 3.—Oxford has just won the annual boat race from Cam- bridge by two lengths. The time over the four and one-quarter mile course on the Thames was 19m. 12s. It was the fifty-fourth contest between crews representing Oxford and Cambridge universities, and more than usual interest was taken in it, not only in sporting circles and in the American colony in England, but by Americans on the Gontinent and in the United States, for the reason that for the first time since the: race. became an annual event in 1829 an American has rowed in each boat. J. J. De Knopp of New College, Ox- ford, is from Albany, N. Y., and B, H. Howell of Trinity Colle e, Cambridge, is from New York City. e Knopp rowed bow for his university and Howell pulled No, 4 for his crew.

The start was made at 2:22 o'clock, and at Dukeshead Cambridge lead slightly. At the Craven- steps, five furlongs from the start, Oxford led by half a length. At the Crabtree, one mile one furlong and one hundred yards from the start, Oxford was leading by three-quarters of a length. The wind freshened and was piercing cold, It was at the back of the crews, the whole day making the race very fast and iving promise that record time would be eaten, At the soap works, one mile, three fur- longs and twenty yards from the start, Ox- ford had a lead of half a length. At the lead mills, one mile, six furlongs and fifty ores. Oxford had slightly increased the ead, and at the Doves, 1 mile, 7 furlongs and sixty yards, the boats were in the same position. Oxford was rowing a stroke of thirty-three to the minute and Cambridge was pulling thirty-two. At the Devonshire Meadow, Oxford was leading by a length. When Barnes bridge was reached Oxford was only a length ahead. Both crews then bent for the spurt over the remaining one-half mile of the race. Both crews had a stroke here of about thirty-five’and the dark blue of Ox- ford was seen to increase its lead. The Ox- ford stroke then went up to’forty and they crossed at the —_ Inn at Mortlake well in advance of the light blue of Cambridge. Thirty thousand people saw the race, in spite of the weather. The usual banquet will follow this evening, the vanquished crew being the guests of thé victors. Oxford has now won thirty-one of the fifty-four races rowed and has been the winner for eight years in succession..

WELL, THIS SETTLES IT, THEN. John J. Ingalls, Ex-Senator, and Now Sporting Authority, Nails a Lie. - Special to the Post-Dispatch. ATCHISON, Kan., April 3.—‘All this talk of Mrs. Fitzsimmons’ boisterous and Ama- gonian actions at the ringside is false,” said John J. Ingalls yesterday. ‘Just be- fore the fight Martin Julian placed Mrs. Fitzsimmons in the box directly in front of mine, and laughingly put her in my care. She is a very handsome, fine looking woman, and not the least bit loud or sporty in appearance. Her conduct during the fight was as quiet and dignified as could be expected from a woman whose husband was engaged in a struggle for the posseg- sion of a quarter of a million dollars. Of course, she was interested, and excited, too, and once during the progress of the fight she argse to her feet, leaning toward the ng. “T then said.to her: ‘Mrs. Fitgsimmons, it will be better for us behind you if you remain seated.’ “At this she apologized, and sat down. She spoke but once, and that was to ad- vise a second to put some liniment on her“ husband's during an intermission.” THREE STRAIGHT FOR WELLS. Beats Foster Easily in the Match Race at San Francisco.

Teresas Must Meet Again for Arrangements. The Cyclers and St. Teresas have struck a snag in their arrangements for champion- ship football games. A meeting was held last night at the Cycling Club's headquar- ters and the proposition of the Saints’ was eonsidered. After much discussion the cy- clists decided they could not accept the terms of $100 as a side bet and an equal di- vision of the gate money, Capt. Jarrett says his men are anxious to meet the Sodality eleven, but he thinks the winner should take & preaiet ercentage of the receipts. t was decided to agree to meet the St. Teresas in a series of three games, the winners to take 75 per cent of the entire _re- ceipts, and the losers 2%.

Testimony Against Draper Taken Be- hind Closed Doors, Press and Public Being Excluded. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JACKSONVILLE, IIL,. April 3.—To-day being Saturday, the streets of Jacksonville are filled with a crowd of farmers, and their entire conversation is dévoted to the terrible mumer of Charles li Hastings, which go shocked this community last Thursday morning. All sorts of rumors are afloat as to the motives which may have prompted the crime, but the consensus of opinion fastens it upon Draper, who is still locked up in jail. Draper ig a man of re- markable nerve. He chats with his friends and the members of his family in a pleas- ant vein and stoutly maintains his inno- cence. He even avows that he will be out of jail within a few days. He expects to be held by the coroner’s jury end then to sue out @ writ of habeas corpus and secure bond before a court. In addition to Col. D. P. Dyer, Draper has retained Judge O. P. Thompson of Jackgonville to defend him. Col: Dyer deft yesterday for St. Louis, leaving Draper's interests in Judge Thomp- son’s hands. It is rumored that ex-Gov. Charles P. Johnson of St. Louls will: be called into the case, but this cannot be substantiated from this end, and in the ab- sence of Col. Dyer. Col. Dyer is a cousin of Draper’s wife and an old family friend of the Drapers. The latter -family orig- ingally came from Louisiana, Mo., and .in the’days when Col. Dyer was living in Pike County he was associated irbusiness with the elder Draper. The family is wealthy and is said to have been one of the most prominent in Pike County. If Draper is the man who committed the murder Hast- ings is largely responsible for his own death by reason of the fact that he visited his office on the fatal night unprepared to meet an enemy. He had been warned to be ready for a fight to the death, but he neg- footed it, and paid for this neglect with his e. As told in yesterday’s Post-Dispatch, Draper was suspected of petng the man who was Surreptitiously visitin udge Kirby's vault and mutilating the books. He was known to be the only man not connected with the office force who was in possession of the vault combination. This combination was changed for the reason that Judge Kir- by wanted to catch the thief. For twenty- one nights ex-Chief of Police Lige Goodrich meat in the office, with a bulls-eye lantern and a revolver, but no one ever came. Goodrich was convinced that the nocturnal intruder was aware that the place was be. ing watched and was lying low. He ex- ecaees this belfef in the presence of Judge irby and Hastings. “‘He won't come while I’m there,” said Goodrich, referring to Draper. ‘‘You’d bet- ter discharge me for a while, or else get somebody else.’’ This was agreed to, and after Saturday night Goodrich remained away. During this same conversation Hastings remarked that he was down-town every night, and that he would drop in and see if he couldn’t catch the fellow. You'd better go armed,’’ advised Good- s dangerous and you know he hates you.” This idea struck Hastings as being ridicu- lous. He was an old soldier and naturally a courageous man. He pooh-poohed the dan- ger, and so it was settled that he would keep his eye on the office. Wednesday ght, the night of the murder, was an ideal one for prowling about unseen. Something was wrong at the water works, and the electric light plant could not run. The town was dark as pitch. It was raining hard and a*perfect gale was sweeping from the prairies and across the city. Few peo- ple Ventured onto the streets, and those who did were at the Democratic primaries, which were being he!d in a hall some dis- tance from Judge Kirby's office. On the theory that Draper was the murderer, it is argued that he realized all this. He‘knew that Goodrich was no longer on guard and he grasped the opportunity to continue his work of theft. There are a few persons here who pro- fess to believe that a woman killed Hast- ings. He was a bachelor and a good deal of a sport. He is alleged to have en seen talking to a greatly excited woman at 9:15 on the night of the murder, but there is little else to hang the theory on. Draper has a good many friends itn this county. He is a strong Mason and it is said the order will try and protect him. The old saying that no Mason was ever hanged is often used on the streets, The opinion is generally expressed that he will never hang. It is expected that when the @efense outlines its case the deed will be admitted and a plea of insanity set up.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE. The Evangelical Alliance Will Have Special Prayer for It. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 3—For nineteen years the first full week of April has been set apart by the Evangelical Alliance in Europe and the United States for special prayer for the better observance of the Sabbath, and to-morrow ministers throug- out this country in affillation with the Al- liance will make this subject a topic of special sermons. The Ontario Lord’s Day Alliance has also, for the first time, de- cided to observe the week, and it has issued an appeal to all lovers of the Lord’s day to devote the next seven days to se- cret and public. prayer that the day for rest and worship may be better loved and honored, and that it may be preserved to all classes of the community. A call has also been issued for a general provincial conference on Sabbath observance to be — in Toronto on the third Friday of this A TAK THAT WILL ‘CAUSE TROUBLE FIVE PER CENT OF BEQUESTS EX- CEPT TO NATURAL HEIRS. THE ASSESSOR IS PUZZLED. Administrators of Large Estates Will Resist a Law to Endow a State University. Exxecutors and trustees appointed to ad- minister estates of deceased persons are having a hard time with Assessor Freder- ick, who is as greatly perplexed as they are. The difficulty arises over the “succesé@ion” tax, as it is called, which was devised by the Legislature to provide an endowment fund for the State University. The tax went into operation this year and is being levied upon the assessments made last June and recently revised by the Board of Equal- ization. A number of administrators of estates have been greatly surprised to receive notice to call at the tax office and make a second return after they had made their regular returns -under the State law with which ey are all more or less familiar and to which they have become reconciled. Under that law they pay a tax of $2.06 per 00, and consider that somewhat steep. Right on top of this is slapped a tax of $5 per $100 on all property bequeathed to others ne the direct heirs of the body of the tes- or. Any fund left to old friends or persons not blood relatives must stand the tax. Assessor Frederick was asked about it and said: “I give it up. I have been worried considerably by this new law and hardly know what to make of it.”’ He then produced a | gg we slip which pave the main feature of the law in the fol- owing terms: Section 1. All propert will, or by the death of an intestate, or by deed, grant, bargain, gale or gift, made or intended to take effect in pos- session or enjoyment after the death of the grantor or bargainer, or any person or persons, either directly or tn trust, or otherwise, whereby a beneficial in- terest shall be created in possession or expectancy to any property or the in- come thereof, to any person other than the father, mother, husband, wife or di- rect lineal descendant of the testator, intestate, grantor or bargainer, except property conveyed for some educational, charitable or religious purpose, exclus- ively, shall be subject to the payment of a collateral succession tax of five dollars for each and every one hundred dollars of the clear market value of such property, Where the money. or property affected shall be ten thousand dollars or less in value, and where the money or property affectéd exceeds ten thou- sand dollars in value, the same shal! be subject to a tax of five dollars for each and every one hundred dollars of the clear market value thereof, up to and including ten thousand dollars in value, and a tax of seven and one-half dollars in addition, for every such one hundred dollars in value In excess of ten thou- sand dollars; and for a. enforcement conveyed by and collection of such tax, there is here- by created, against the perty affected thereby, a first lien in favor of. the State of Missouri, upon which a civil action may be prosecuted in any court having * competent jurisdiction; and when col- lected, such tax shall be paid into the county treasury of the county where the testator, intestate, grantor or bar- gainer resided: or in the case where there is no such residence in the State, then such tax shall be paid into the county treasury of’ the county where such property exists or fs situate. All taxes provided by this section, which shall not be paid within one year after the death of the person rendering such roperty subject to taxation, shall bear nterest at the same rate, from the date of the death of such person, as is now provided by-law for delinquent taxes, and suits therefor mdy be prosecuted by the same person provided by law for the purpose of instituting suits for delin- uent taxes, unless the eounty court shall make an order requiring the pros- ecuting attorney to institute suits for the recovery of such collateral succos- sion taxes. ‘ “I am going ahead, with the assistance of the Probate Court,’’ said Mr. Fredericks, and am putting on the tax right along, but I understand that the matter will be taken into the courts and tested thoroughly. “Some of the Py 7 trust conManies, which are administering large estates, say they are not disposed to submit to the tax. and re- fuse to pay it. We will have to make a test Case and see what the law is good for.”’ One instance was cited, where a woman had left $300, to be invested as a@fund to keep her grave in order. This fund would, under the new law, be subject to a tax of $2.05 per $100, or $6.15 on the State law, and $16 additional under the succession law. This the administrator considers a very steep charge and he declines to pay it. ere are a number of other instances which are going to cause trouble, The St. Louis & Kirkwood Railroad Cars are now running through on regular time.

CHICAGO, April 3.—The Times-Herald's Washington special says: esident Mc- Kinley and Secretary Sherman discussed the Rivera case, and Mr. Sherman, at the President’s suggestion, cofmmunicated with | Senor De Lome, the Spanish Minister. Sec- retary Sherman did not make a _ formal protest, but wanted the Spanish inister and h's Government to understand that the execution of Rivera would not tend to promote good feeling for Spain in this coun- try. It is not doubted that Senor De Lome communicated the substance of this in- formal protest to his Government, WILL BE INVESTIGATED. Charge That the Spaniards Knew the State Department Cipher. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 3.—The alle- gation that the Spanish authorities in Cuba possess copies of the State Department cipher and tode book and thereby obtain full information concerning the confidential communications passing between Secretary Sherman and Consu!l-General Lee will be in- vestigated. Just prior to the unpleasantness which arose between Olney and Lee a bitter com- laint was. forwarded to .the department by Lee that the Spanish officials must be in possession of the cipher used, as they were enabled to anticipate every move made by him. He attributed the uncivil treatment received at the Palace to the fact that the purport of all his errands was known before is arrival. ‘ Since the new administration came in Lee has renewed his complaints. An in- quiry will be made to ascertain the loca- tion of all the code books given out by the department. JESUIT EXCLUSION LAW.’ The Reichstag Adopts a Motion Abro- gating It.

DONE IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES An American Rowed Bow for the Vic- tors and the Vanquished Had a Yankee, Too. PUTNEY, England, April 3.—Oxford has just won the annual boat race from Cam- bridge by two lengths. The time over the four and one-quarter mile course on the Thames was 19m. 12s. It was the fifty-fourth contest between crews representing Oxford and Cambridge universities, and more than. usual interest was taken in it, not only in sporting circles and in the American colony in England, but by Americans on the Continent and in the United States, for the reason that for the first time since the:race became an annual event in 1829 an American has rowed in each boat. J. J. De Knopp of New College, Ox- ford, is from Albany, N. Y., and B, H. Howell of Trinity Colle e, Cambridge, is from New York City. e Knopp rowed bow for his university and Howell pulled No, 4 for his crew. The make-up of/each crew was as fol- lows: OXFORD. J.J.

The start was made at 2:22 o'clock, and at Dukeshead Cambridge lead slightly. At the Craven- steps, five furlongs from the start, Oxford led by half a length. At the Crabtree, one mile one furlong and one hundred yards from the start, Oxford was leading by three-quarters of a length. The wind freshened and was plercing cold. It was at the back of the crews, the whole day making the race very fast and iving promise that record time would be eaten, At the soap works, one mile, three fur- longs and twenty yards from the start, Ox- ford had a lead of half a length. At the lead mills, one mile, six furlongs and fifty rerse, Oxford had slightly increased the ead, and at the Doves, 1 mile, 7 furlongs and sixty yards, the boats were in the same position. Oxford was rowing a stroke of thirty-three to the minute and Cambridge was pulling thirty-two. At the Devonshire Meadow, Oxford was leading by a length. When Barnes bridge Was reached Oxford was only a length ahead. Both crews then bent for the spurt over the remaining one-half mile of the race. Both crews had a stroke here of about thirty-five’and the dark blue of Ox- ford was seen to increase its lead. The Ox- ford stroke then went up to*forty and they crossed at the ae Inn at Mortlake well in advance of the light blue of Cambridge. Thirty thousand people saw the race, in spite of the weather. The usual banquet wil) follow this wee the vanquished crew being the guests of thé victors. Oxford has now won thirty-one of the fifty-four races rowed and hag been the winner for eight years in succession..

WELL, THIS SETTLES IT, THEN. McCormack John J. Ingalls, Ex-Senator, and Now Sporting Authority, Nails a Lie. : Special to the Post-Dispatch. ATCHISON, Kan., April 3.—‘All this talk of Mrs. Fitgsimmons’ boisterous and Ama- gonian actions at the ringside is false,” said John J. Ingalls yesterday. ‘Just be- fore the fight Martin Julian placed Mrs. Fitzsimmons in the box directly in front of mine, and laughingly put her in my care. She is a very handsome, fine looking woman, and not the least bit loud or sporty in appearance. Her conduct during the fight was as quiet and dignified as could be expected from a woman whose husband was engaged in a struggle for the posseg- sion of a quarter of a million dollars. Of course, she was interested, and excited, too, and once during the progress of the fight she argse to her feet, leaning toward the ring. “T then said to her: ‘Mrs. Fitzsimmons, it will be better for us behind you if you remain seated.’ “At this she apologized. and sat down. She spoke but once, and that was to ad- vise as d to put some liniment on her husband's during an intermission.” THREE STRAIGHT FOR WELLS. Beats Foster Easily in the Match Race at San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.—Three straight victories for Charles 8. Wells was the re- suit of the match race with Walter Foster The race was for a purse of $400 and the dis- tances were one, two and five miles. All three races were won by less than three feet in 2m. 10 2-58; 4m. 45 4-58, and llm. 16s, for the five miles. All the races were paced, Floyd A. McFarland won the mile open for professionals easily. McFarland, Baton, Allen and Jones qualified for the final.

White failed to show up for ractice both Thursday and Friday, and anager Dowd cannot get a line on him anywhere. At the ball player’s boardine- house it was said he had left with his trunk Wednesday night. Manager Dowd thinks White may have gone to Hot pcnes to do a little training on his own ook, Roger Connor, who arrived last evening, seems to be in excellent trim, and he threatens to soak the ball this season as he never aoaked it before. There is much to remind one of the venerable Anson in Roger Connor, and it may be that the big firet baseman will play this greatest game this season. DIDN’T AGREE ON TERMS. Cyclists and §t. Teresas Must Meet Again for Arrangements. The Cyclers and St. Teresas have struck a snag in their arrangements for champion- ship football games. A meeting was held last night at the Cycling Club’s headquar- ters and the proposition of the Saints’ was considered. After much discussion the cy- clists decided they could not accept the terms of $100 as a side bet and an equal di- vision of the gate money. Capt. Jarrett says his men are anxious to meet the Sodality eleven, but he thinks the winner should take © preniet ercentage of the receipts. t was decided to agree to meet the St. Teresas in a series of three games, the winners to take 75 per cent of the entire re- ceipts, and the losers 2%. This seems but just and fair, and the Saints will probably accept it, ryepresentatives of the two teams will meet at the Cycling Club to-night and all arrangements for the playing of the match will probably be made. County Tour Goes Over. The St. Louis County tour of the L, A. W., which was to have taken place to- morrow, has been postponed until the fol- lowing Sunday, owing to the wretched con- dition of the roads. Mr. E.

W., rode to Clay- ton over all passable roads yesterday and found that it would be next to impossible to have the tour come off oft schedule. All arrangements will stand for next Sunday.

Lone Wolf, of the Carlisle Indian School football team, is on his way West to rejoin his tribe, where he will devote his time to missionary work and organizing of an all- Indian football team. The news comes from Boston that a syndicate of wealthy patrons of sport has subscribed a purse of $15,000 for a twenty- round contest between Corbett and Fitasim- mons to take place in New York. The plan, as arranged, is to place the entire purse in the hands of a Boston newspaper man, with full power to act, and if the syndicate falls to pull off the contest at the time and piace selected the whole amount is to be forfeited.

The } HASTINGS HAD “BEEN WARNED. CHIEF OF POLICE TOLD HIM TO Go ARMED. THE INQUEST BEING HELD. Testimony Ageines Draper Taken Be- hind Closed Doors; Press and Public Being Excluded. Special to the Post-Dispatch, JACKSONVILLE, IIL,: April 3—To-day being Saturday, the streets of Jacksonville are filled with a crowd of farmers, and their entire conversation is dévoted to the terrible murder of Charles Ix Hastings, which go shocked this community last Thursday morning. All sorts of rumors ere afloat as to the motives which may have prompted the crime, but the consensus of opinion fastens it upon Draper, who is still locked up in jail. Draper ig a man of re- markable nerve. He chats with his friends and the members of his family in a pleas- ant vein and stoutly maintains his imno- cence. He even avows that he will be out of jail within a few days. He expects to be held by the coroner's jury end then to sue out @ writ of habeas corpus and secure bond before a court. In addition to Col. D. P. Dyer, Draper has retained Judge O. 3 Thompson of Jackgonville to defend him. Col: Dyer ieft yesterday for St. Louis, leaving Draper's interests in Judge Thomp- son’s hands. It is rumored that ex-Gov. Charles P. Johnson of St. Louls will: be called into the case, but this cannot be substantiated from this end, and in the ab- sence of Col. Dyer. Col. Dyer is a cousin of Draper’s wife and an old family friend of the Drapers. The latter -family orig- elly came from Louisiana, Mo., and .in the days when Col. Dyer wag living in Pike County he was associated irbusiness with the elder Draper. The family is wealthy and is said to have been one of the most prominent in Pike County. If Draper is the man who committed the murder Hast- ings is largely responsible for his own death by reason of the fact that he visited his officé on the fatal i unprepared to meet an enemy. He had been warned to be ready for a fight to the death, but he neg- pots it, and paid for this neglect with his e. As told in yesterday’s Post-Dispatch, Draper was suspected of peng the man who was Surreptitiously visitin udge Kirby’s vault and mutilating the books. He was known to be the only man not connected with the office force who was in possession of the vault combination. This combination was changed for the reason that Judge Kir- by wanted to catch the thief. For twenty- one nights ex-Chief of Police Lige Goodrich Btopt in the office, with a bulls-eye lantern and a revolyer, but no one ever came. Goodrich was convinced that the nocturnal intruder was aware that the place was bhe- ing watched and was lying low. .He ex- pseee this belfef in the presence of Judge irby and Hastings. “He won’t come while I’m there,” said Goodrich, referring to Draper. ‘You'd bet- ter discharge me for a while, or else get somebody else.’’ This was agreed to, and after Saturday night Goodrich remained away. During this same conversation Hastings remarked that he was down-town every plight, and that he would drop in and see if | e couldn’t catch the fellow. You'd better go armed,”’ advised Good- rich. “That man is dangerous and you know he hates you.”’ This idea struck Hastings as being ridicu- lous. He was an old soldier and naturally a courageous man. He pooh-poohed the dan- ger, and so it was settled that he would seep his eye on the office. Wednesday night, the night of the murder, was an ideal one for prowling about unseen. Something was wrong at the water works, and the electric light plant could not run. The town was dark as pitch. It was raining hard and a‘perfect gale was sweeping from the prairies and across the city. Few peo- ple Ventured onto the streets, and those who did were at the Democratic primaries, which were being he!d in a hall some dis- tance from Judge Kirby's office. On the theory that Draper was the murderer, it is argued that he realized all this. He-knew that Goodrich was no longer on guard and he grasped the opportunity to continue his work of theft. There are a few persons here who pro- fess to believe that a woman killed Hast- ings. He was a bachelor and a good deal of a sport. He is alleged to have been seen talking to a greatly excited woman at 9:15 on the night of the murder, but there is little else to hang the theory on. Draper has a good many friends in this county. He is a strong Mason and it is said the order will try and protect him. The old saying that no Mason was ever hanged is often used on the streets, The opinion is generally expressed that he will never hang. It is expected that when the defense outlines its case the deed will be admitted and a plea of insanity set up.

THE ASSESSOR IS PUZZLED. Administrators of Large Estates Will Resist a Law to Endow a State University. Executors and trustees appointed to ad- minister estates of deceased persons are having a hard time with Assessor Freder- ick, who is as greatly perplexed as they are. The difficulty arises over the “‘succesé@ion”’ tax, as it is called, which was devised by the Legislature to provide an endowment fund for the State University. The tax went into operation this year and is being levied upon the assessments made last June and recently revised by the Board of Equal- ization. A number of administrators of estates have been greatly surprised to receive notice to call at the tax office and make a second return after they had made their regular returns -under the State law with which Sor are all more or less familiar and to which they have become reconciled. Under that law they pay a tax of $2.06 per $100, and consider that somewhat steep. Right on mr of this is slapped a tax of 35 per $100 on all property bequeathed to others ne the direct heirs of the body of the tes- or. Any fund left to old friends or persons not blood relatives must stand the tax. Assessor Frederick was asked about it and said: “I give it up. I have been worried considerably by this new law and hardly know what to make of it.”’ He then produced a printed slip which gave the main feature of the law in the fol- owing terms: Section 1.

We will have to make a test Case and see what the law is good for.” One instance was cited, where a woman had left $300, to be invested as a®@fund to keep her grave in order. This fund would, under the new law, be subject to a tax of $2.06 per $100, or $6.15 on the State law, and $16 additional under the succession law. This the administrator considers a very steep charge and he declines to pay it. ere are a number of other instances which ere going to cause trouble.

The Interstate Sand and Car Tranefer Co. obtained an injunction {in Judge Woods’ Court Saturday, restraining the Wiggins Ferry Co. from tearing down certain !4- clines and cradles in North St, Louis.

William C. Bohannon, the skeleton-um- brella demonstrator of political economy, was fined $20 by Judge Peabody Saturday on a charge of lounging. Bohannon was arrested on Sunday, March 27, by Policeman Corcoran on the corner of Broadway and Pine, where he was making a speech. Bohannon conducted his own efense, arguing that he was only enjoying his rights and not interfering with the privi- leges of others when he was arrested, and his arrest was an outrage. The lenght ae and several citizens tes- tified that the crowd which Bohannon had attracted and was haranguing obstructed traffic on both the sidewalk and the street, and that when the liceman asked Bo- hannon to move on ke refused to do 60. The policeman then told the crowd on the sidewalk to disperse. They did so, but Bohannon called them back and his arrest followed. SENT TO ST. CHARLES.

BOARD HAS’ NO Ringsters Have Squandered the School Funds and Will Refuse the Elec- ' tion Board’s Order. MONEY. A especial meeting of the School Board has been called by President Bus for April y to act upon the question of appropriating 00 for the special school election, As tated in Thursday's Post-Dispatch there is © intention on the part of the Republican ng which controls the board to make the appropriation. President Bus made this Statement without reservation in an inter- wiew in the Post-Dispatch. He holds that the board has no power to act in the mat- Rer. Another argument advanced by the Ying is that there is no source from which ho appropriate the amount. The extrava- ance of the School Board, which preceded he present body and the reckless expendi- tures made by the ring in the - present board, have left the School Board Treasury ractically empty. Experts estimated the e to school property from the tor- © at $90,000. The board spent $140,000 in ergency repair work done by favorites remédying this $90,000 damage.

MITCHELL SWAINE’S QUEER AT- | TEMPT TO ROB A FRIEND. WERE OUT ON A_ LARK. Prominent Young Men From Bloom- field, Io., Go Wrong and Wind Up at the Four Courts. Mitchell B. Swaine, a young merchant of Bloomfield, Io., who haughtily informed Sergt. Lang at the Central Station that his ‘‘fathah, sah, held a prominent position un- dah the present Administration,’’ occupied a hard board bench at the Four Courts jail Friday night, charged with robbing his bosom friend, James 8. Taylor, also of Bloomfield, of $22. Young Taylor ds a son of the President of the Taylor-McGowan Savings Bank of Bloomfield, and Swaine is a son of Gen. Geo, Swaine, Government Pension Examin- er of Iowa. ‘ Taylor is a young attorney, who came to this city Friday morning to attend a law suit in the United States Court, in which his brother and Gen. John W. Noble are counsel. Swaine accompanied him to the city. They registered at the Lindell. After obtaining money from one of his father’s correspondents here, Taylor and Swaine went out to take in the town. They finally wound up in the room of Florence Sherman, at 108 North Twenty-first street. Swaine had no money and Taylor was pay- ing the bills. aylor and Swaine had taken off their coats and vests and threw them carelessly about the room. During a lull in the con- versation Swaine suddenly suggested that ed had entered the room and robbed em. Taylor is a young man who keeps his og open and he declared that he suspected the robber was still in the room. The woman shared the same opinion, and Swaine maintained a discreet but suspicious silence. After talking it over each to prove his innocence agreed to be searched. Taylor searched the woman, she searched Swayne and Gwayne searched Taylor. This was comparatively easy, as the clothing was loosely disposed about the floor. Taylor had $22 when he entered the room. It could not be found. A policeman was called in. Swaine has a beautiful head of hair which would drive a foot ball player wild with envy. While the policeman was searching him a $5 bill fell from the depths of his bushy hair. That settled it. Taylor insisted on having Swaine arrested, and the three were bundled into the wagon and taken to the Four Couris. Swaine denicd having taken the money, and jt required a disrobing of the prisoner before the other $15 was found in the heel of his sock. He was locked up. Saturday morning Taylor refused to pros- ecute and Swaine was released. The two walked out of the station uarmi-in-arm, ap- parently on the best of terme. Police Board Meeting. At the meeting of the Police Board Fri- day Sergt. Edward Dowd of the Mounted District was fined $26 for neglect of duty. On the same charge Detectives McGrath and Anderson were dropped. Robert Killian was appointed to succeed McGrath. The case of artman agaihst Detective Thomas Tracey was referred to the Chief of olice, with instructions to prefer charges against the officer. The following promotions to the rank of regular officers were made: William Branch, William Glacken, Patrick Ganly, Charles Schaffner, John B. Martin, J. J. Bweeney, Henry F.

An Exhibition That Filled Every Seat in the Standard Theater. The announcement that there would be a competitive midway dance at the Standard Theater Friday night served its purpose. The house was filled. There were no women on the first floor, but in the balcony proba- bly fifty bonnets could be discérned through the smoke that curled lazily up from hun- dreds of rg and cigarettes. Nearly all present were keyed up to a high pitch of expectation. They were there to be thrilled. 6 audience was good-tempered and enh- dured the fun-making of the comedians, Black and Whité, till 11 o’clock; then Mana- ger Flynn came on the stage with a body- guard of saddle-colored sirens and said that the dance would be for a check for $50. Lizzie Howell was the first dancer. She is slender and shameless and made a hit. Nellie Dancy followed. She is buxom and brazen and also made a hit. Neither is an expert muscle dancer. he audience was called on to decide be- tween them. There was more noise for Liz- zie than for NelHe and Mr. Flynn said Liz- zie won, and was the best dancer on earth. He was willing to back her for $00 against any midway “spieler’ that “ever hap- pened.” A man with long black hair and a greasy coat arose from a parquet seat and said Mr. Flynn was the very man he wanted to meet. The audience hissed him at first, but he was finally allowed to speak. He» used a strong French accent, which may or may not have been genuine. He said he was the manager of La Belle Siva, the most expert muscle dancer in the wide, wide world. He ros back her against Mr. Flynn’s entry or q Flynn told him to put up his money at the box-office and the contest would take place Saturday night. The long-haired man went to the box-of- fice and deposited $100 and the articles of agreement were drawn up and signed. Family Washing Unexcelled. We will do your family washing for 4 cents a pound.

New Jackson School. | The movement to have a new Jackson School building at Maiden Lane and Hogan street is gaining strength. Friday evening the association met, and speeches were made getting forth the necessity for a larger and stronger building .A letter from Building Commissioner Randall was read in which the school: building was con- demned in the strongest terms. He threat- ns to bring suit against the School Board or maintaining a nuisance if something is not done. Omaha Man Missing. Joseph A. Cavanaugh, a Wealthy Omaha, Neb., attorney, has disappeared. On March 14 he came to St. Louwis on a busi- ness trip and has not been seen by his family since. One letter after his arrival here was received by his wife. It was written on Planters’ House stationery, but inquiry developed he did not register there. He had a large sum of money with him and foul play is feared.

ARE SUCCESSFUL ELSEWHERE. They Have Great Capacity for Detail “Work and Will Dignify the | ‘Board’s Deliberations. Friends of woman suffrage are elated over the prospects of having female mem- bers on the Board of Education. Mrs. Alice C. Mulkey’s candidacy is heartily indorsed, and work has begun to bring it to a successful end. “I think women are eligible to position on the Board under the new law,” said Dr. W. W. Boyd Saturday, “and I want to add that I am giad of it. “They have always been deeply inter- sested in school matters, and great credit is due them for the advancement made along educational lines. The different wo- men's organizations have fone good work for the schools without any Somat power in the premises. Put a few of them on the Board and they will do better. Whether as a general rule they are as familiar with practical government as men, cannot say, but they have a natural knack that is far superior to man’s in some direc- tions. I think this school business is one of them. . “Some difficulty will be had in sage the right parties. The woman seeking suc a position should be thoroughly familiar with schools and school work; have or tical ideas and a strictly business head, otherwise she will hinder more than she can possibly assist. “A teacher of some experience, for example, should make an excellent member, She has worked hard in the field the bod is to control; knows exactly what is needed, can readily tell what measures should be advanced to further the .work, what are obstacles, in short, what means should be employed to procure desfred ends. Other ladies who have studied school ——— or have been connected in some other capacity with educational work, are, of course, just as eligible and have as ready appreciation of the needs as the instructors themselves. “I think a@ woman or two on the boa would be beneficial in other ways. Their presence would add to the dignity of the deliberations, and no man is their equal in detail work and investigations. They are much better adapted to those duties. Therefore, I say give them an opportunity to be useful in a new field. “This matter is not an experiment. In many of our large cities women are mem- there are several. I know of no instance where the departure has not proven of last- ing benefit. . “I see there is one candidate in the field. I do not know Mrs. Mulkey personally, but if she possesses the requirements I have mentioned she is entitled to support. While the clause of the new law is a little vague on the subject of: female eligibility I think the ladies have interpreted it correctly, and if oy are property owners I do not see how they are to be denied.” JAIL HOSPITAL NO USE. Sickness Due to the Vitiated Atmos- phere Is Rampant Now. Despite the contentions of Chief Dispen- sary Physician Jordan, Judge Zachritz and Chief Deputy Sheriff Huebler that a hos- pital located in the jail would be a beneficial move, daily developments appear to bear out Coroner Walt’s assertion chat it would be a most unwise undertaking. At present eight ones in the jail are sufferin from illness directly traceable to the un- sanitary condition of their surroundings, Among these are Joseph Albright, charged with murder, whg is reported to be dying of typhoid malaria and pneumonia, and whose condition is so critical that his removal to the hospital at this time would cause cer- tain death’ Stella Allen, Charles Waller and John Lawrence,,suffering from malaria: Victor Pore, pleuridynia; Lizzie Henry, anaemia; iliam Meyers, a Severe attack of la ippe, and Thomas Cavanagh, ma- laria. Their condition is attributed directly to the unwholesome atmosphere of the jail, vitiated by the exhalations of the #0 odd prisoners, poor drainage facilities and lack of ventilating arrangements. One of the prisoners in jail, a “trusty,’’ whose duties place him in a position to apne with a knowledge of the facts, says that during the month of March the fail physician prescribed for an average of sixty-nine prisoners every week, nearly all of whom were suffering from malaria. Der. ing the preceding months, this prisoner says, the average number prescribed for, was even greater. These figures represent an enormous percentage of sickness, in comparison with the number of inmates, and do not a ® well for the sanitary con- dition of the jail. The death of Jesse Robertson in his cell in jail Thursday, while it can not charged directly to the conditions within |- the jail, was, in the opinion of the officials, SUNDAY CONCERTS.

Pee le CHARLES W. BULLEN DEAD. President of the National Bank of the Republic Succumbs to Pneumonia. The funeral-of Mr. Charles W. Bullen, late President of the National Bank of the Re- public, has been set for Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the family residence, 4071 Washington avenue. The pali-bearers will be Messrs. O. H. Peckham, J. ‘J. Werth- eimer, W. H. Graham, Breckinridge Jones, Wyatt Shallcross, Theodore Shelton, Rob- ert Grant and John Lee. Rev. Dr. R. C. Cave will conduct the services. Saturday afternoon the tors of the Clearing- house Association and the directors of the National Bank of the Republic will meet yA —— appropriate action on Mr. Bullen’s As told exclusively in Friday’s 6 o’clock edition of the Post-Dispatch, r. Bullen’s death occurred at 2:15 o'clock Friday. The cause was heart failure, the result of pneu- monia. Two weeks ago Mr. Bullen con- severe cold. Later pneumonia and high fever develo 3 e doctors were hopeful that Mr. Byllen’s constitution would pull him through. Friday was the ninth day. The fever abated, but the pa- tient's heart faileed. Surrounded by his wife and two children, his father and mother-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. C. H..Gauss, his cousin, Mrs. Jennie Shalicross, and Dr. C. H. Good- man, he died as if falling asleep. Mr. Bullen’s death will be a distinct loss to St. Louis’ banking interests. He entered the business when he was a boy and worked his way to the top. His practical knowl- edge of the business was enormous. He Was a member of the Board of Managers of the Clearing-house Association, and in that capacity inaugurated several reforms. He instituted the plan of handling post-office orders through the Clearing-house. He was also largely instrumental! in bringing the Sub-Treasury into the Clearing-house Association. Mr. Bullen was born in Louisville, Ky., about forty-four years ago. His parents died while he was a boy and he lived with an aunt at Henderson, Ky. He came to Missouri and settled first at Lynn Creek and then at Sedalia, where he took a minor position in the Citizens’ National Bank, and worked his way up to cashier. Early in the 80’s he came to St. Louis as Assistant Cash- years was Cashier. He was largely instru- mental in having the institution converted into a national bank. In Mr. Bullen was elected President of the National Bank of the Republic. Mr. Bullen married Miss Adele Gauss fif- teen years ago. Three children were born of the union—a boy and two girls. The son died sometime o. Mr. Bullen was a mem- ber.of the Knights of Honor, the Business Men’s League and the Mercantile Club.

Several board bills will also die because there will not be time to pass them. The Council passed the bill authorizing the Iron Mountain Railroad Co. to construct a switch across Kosciusko street into the plant of the Pioneer Cooperage Co. In the House the bill reducing the li- censes of real estate dealers from $100 to $23 received its first reading. A communi- cation from J. T.

Consideration was deferr to 1 o’clock Saturday, to which time an ad- journment was taken. fer of the Continental Bank, and in five! ing the fate of the bills for the improve-’ BE DEMOCRATIC. REPUBLICANS ADMIT THEY HAVE LITTLE CHANCE. SITUATION IN THE WARDS. The Indications Are That There Will Be Fifteen Democratic and Thir- teen Republican Aldermen, The present Republican House of Dele- gates is about to pass in its checks. With a last, lingéring look at the corporation treasure boxes to which some of the mem- bers are believed to have held the com- bination, it will give up the ghost Monday and become a part of the more or less un- savory legislative history of the city. There is strong reason for the belief that the next House will be Democratic. Several of the members, among them Speaker Diek. mann, believes that the Republicans will have to take a back seat. Several of the Republican members, who are candidates for re-election, represent Democratic wards. They owed their eleo- tion to conditions which no ~~ exist. There are no faction fights likely to dis- turb calculations. Such candidates as are on the Meriwether ticket are also on the Regular Democratic, so the fight over the head of. the ticket will not affect their chances. In the present House are twenty-four Re- ublicans and only four Democrats. The atter are Sullivan of the Twenty-fourth, Cronin of the First, Burke of the Four- teenth and Sippel of the Fifteenth. Speaker Diekmann figures it out that the Republicans will probably have thirteen in the next to the fifteen the Democrats. He thinks Morrissey will follow in_ the footsteps of Jim Cronin, holding the First Ward in the Democratic column. Ww Judy in the Second will have a hard time getting back. His opponent, Frank X. oore, has a saloon and two restaurants, a combination hard fo beat. The Third has always been a mocratic ward. Ed Grimley was a candidate for re- election.
