THOUSANDS SAW THE TRAGEDY. Edward Clayland of the Missouri Elec- tric Is the Latest Victim of the Overhead Wire System. AGASTEL Pdaward Clayland, a lineman for the Mis- gourl Plectric Light and Power Co., was burned to death by a-live wire shortly after 11 o'clock Wednesday morning. His smoking body hung in the air for at least ten minutes in view of thousands, who were attracted to the scene by the fire engines. The accident occurred at Broad- way and Chestnut street. When the body was removed from the tangled death-dealing mass of wires there was no sign of life init. It was taken to the City Dispensary and was pronounced dead by the physicians. Clayland was at work with a gang of men under District Superintendent Frank Herbert of the Missouri Electric. They were repairing wires. A little before 11 o'clock he was sent up the tall pole at the southwest corner of Broadway and Chestnut street. He spiked his way up to the fifth cross arm, adjusted his safety belt carefully and went to work. No one paid any attention to the man as he puttered away, for it is a common sight to see linemen at their dangerous task. The streets below were full of people, hur- rying to and fro with heads down, intent on business. The cabbies on the cabs in front of the Court-house were dozing in the warm spring sun. Right at the foot of the telegraph pole two newsboys were quar- reling. Suddenly a small man with silk hat on, standing on the southwest corner of the. street, yelled and pointed with his finger toward the top of the telegraph pole. The cabmen sprang to their feet. The sourrying crowd on the street stopped moving. “A groan of horror ran up and down the sidewalk, for there, among the deadly wires, his white face contorted in terrible agony, hung the body of Lineman Clayland. _No one knew who he was. Not one man ne ee ee probably in all this crowd had ever seen him, but a wave of helpless pity swept over them, “My God,” shouted a man, “he’s burning to death!” Suro enough, the blue smoke, sickening to see, was creeping from the back of his neck. He hung head downward, his feet in the air and his spikes were free from the pole. Only his safety belt held him. In his hands he still clutched the wires that were pouring death into his body. In a delirium of helplessness some one turned in a fire alarm. The engines came bounding down the _ street, rending the crowds assunder, adding to the excitement and to the number of curious people who were bent on seeing the cause of all the excitement. Over on the Court House steps Bob Quain and Russell Benedict of the Fire Alarm Office had seen the man as he fgll back- ward into death's embrace. They knew what was the matter, and knew what to do. They have lived among wires them- selves. Running Into the basement, they grabbed a ladder and hurried across the street with it. They were just ahead of the Fire De- partment, which came rattling up at this moment, The ladder was placed against the pole. Quain, Benedict and Supt. Herbert, who had arrived by this time, mounted it. Hur- riedly cutting the safety belt, they disen- gaged the swinging body, with no little danger to themselves, while the crowd looked on agape, wondering if another life might not be lost in this attempt at rescue, Carefully they bore the lifeless body down the ladder. It was placed immediate- ly in a patrol wagon, which had been or- dered up from the Chestnut Street Station, and driven madly to the Dispensary. The trip was useless. Clayland was dead. His hands were frightfully burned. He wore buckskin gloves instead of rubber gloves. Had he worn the latter the acci- dent could not have happened. His fel- low linemen said he had been “short cir- cuited.”’ His body is now at the Morgeue. . After it had been taken away another lineman went up to complete Clavland's work, The crowd hung around until he had finished, evidently expecting to see a repe- tition of the tragedy. Clayland was 2% years old and lived at 2120 Olive street. He came to St. Louis but four weeks ago. It is not known where his home is.

ELEVATOR BOY HAS A BAD CASE. ee Health Department Takes Prompt Ac- tion to Prevent the Disease From Spreading. ee Clement L. McCannaha, elevator boy at the St. Nicholas Hotel, was removed to Quarantine Wednesday, suffering from a genuine case of small-pox. For ten days while the disease was in its incipiency the boy has been at his duties about the fashionable hestelry. As the plague is infectious from the first chill that brings on the fever, there is no telling how many people have been jeop- ardized. The boy did not live at the hotel. He roomed with a companion, Tony Bernero, at 1408 Pine street. Both boys run the elevator at the St. Nicholas. Friday afternoon McCannaha was unable to work. His companion, Bernero, staid at home to nurse him. Monday the characteristic eruption broke out and Dr. J. D. Irwin of Eighth and Pine streets was summoned. He made.a posi- tive diagncsis Wednesday and at once re- ported the matter to the Health Depart- ment. 3 Dr. A. L. Jordan. Chief Dispensary Phy- sician, immediately made an investigation. He found the case was undoubtedly genuine small-pox, and ordered the young man re- moved to Quarantine. This was done at noon by Ambulance Driver Fred Buser, who was carefully vac- cinated before being sent. Orders were given to thoroughly fumigate the house, destroy all tig bed clothing and vaccinate the fourteen other occupants of 1408 Pine street. This was done Wednesday afternoon. Twenty men from the sanitary division were then called in and set to work tracing up all who had come in contact with the young man, Dr. Reber was sent to the St. Nicholas Hotel to ask the co-operation of the man- agement in taking necessary precautionary steps to prevent a spread of the disease. All the guests who were exposed will be vaccinated. The period of incubation of the disease is two weeks. From the first chill which ush- ers in the fever it is transmissible. All who have come in contact with the eleva- tor boy within that time are in danger. The disease will be traced to every possi- ble ramification. The fourteen occupants of the rooming-house will not only be vaccin- ated, but everyone with whom they have come in contact at their work. McCannaha is 21 years old. He came here from Ohio two months ago and was em- ployed as a bell boy at the hotel. He can give no history of the disease. He says he has no idea where he contracted it. The rooming house where the boys live is conducted by Harrifigton Bros., one of whom is the leader of the Venetiafi or- chestra. , Health Commissioner Starkloff said: ““We have only one case now, but there may be 200 in a few days. Undoubtedly many peo- ple have come in contact with McCannaha since the disease developed. All the avail- able men in the department have been put on the case, and every precaution will be taken to prevent a spread of the disease. “Everybody who has come in contact with the man in the last week has ween exposed to infection. All such will do well to come to the City Dispensary at once and be vaccinated.”’ Dr. Jordan saw the young man. He said: ‘There is no doubt that the case is genuine small-pox. The disease is contagious from the moment the fever sets in. It remains so until the last eruption has healed and the patient has received an antiseptic bath. “It is impossible to say whether other cases will develop. We will simply take every precaution and wait. It takes two weeks from the date of exposure for the disease to develop.” At the St. Nicholas Hotel there was great excitement when it was learned that the erstwhile bell boy had small-pox. Bright and early Wednesday morning Dr. Dean of the City Dispensary, assisted by Dr. Irwin, commenced vaccinating the at- taches of the St. Nicholas Hotel. One of the first to submit to the operation was Richard Everett, manager of the hotel. Nothing has yet been said to the patrons of the hotel about vaccination, but Dr. Dean told a ym ees ear reporter at noon Wednesday that while there would be no compulsion, it would be well for the hotel ests to take all precaution possible, al- though he was of the opinion that inasmuch as the afflicted youth left the house four or five days ago, before the small-pox symptoms had developed, there was really no danger of contagion so far as his pres- ence at the hotel was concerned. Dr. Dean was at the Pine street lodging ~~ CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO. THE WEATHER FORECAST. SHOWERS; WARMER.

BRUTAL SAYERS I$ OFF THE FORCE POLICE BOARD DISMISSES THE WIGGINS FERRY WATCHMAN. MATRON BREEN TURNED OUT. New Board Selects Wm. H. Beneke Sec- retary and Sends Capt. Keeble Back to Active Duty. Private Watchman William Sayers is no longer a guardian of the public peace. He was summarily dismissed by Vice-Presi- dent James M. Lewis, of the Police Board on his return from Hot Springs. The board at its meeting Tuesday afternoon confirmed his action. Sayers had been suspended by Police Captain Young for gross brutality and was reinstated by the Police Board on the rep- resentations of the Wiggins Ferry officials. His dismissal from the force is the result of a Post-Dispatch expose of his crime and his previous record for brutality. Sayers is the employe of the Wiggins Ferry Co. who on March 26 assaulted Mrs. Annie Silver and her 12-year-old boy in the oy? - yards. Mrs. Silver and her 12-year-old boy had gone into the yards to gather coal. Sayers ordered her out of the place, but she per- Sisted that she had permission to gather what fuel had fallen from the cars. Sayers knocked her down with a blow in the face and kicked her repeatedly. When her son ran to her rescue Sayers fired at him. He then arrested the woman and dragged her to the Third District station. Capt. Young saw that she was injured and sent her to the City Hospital. She was brought before Judge Peabody on the charge of trespass and he fined her, but stayed the penalty, explaining that the trespass charge was roved and Sayers’ brutality was not an Ssue in the case. Police Captain Young then suspended Say- ers and sent him before the Police Board with a recommendation that he be dis- charged. The captain made a thorough in- vestigation, and was prepared to prove by witnesses that Sayers’ actions were un- warranted, and that he was unfit for the position he held. Meanwhile the Board took the statements of Vice-President Alonzo Church and At- torney Ralston of the Wiggins Ferry Co., and on their representations that Mrs. Sil- ver was a low character and Sayers an ef- ficient workman,they dismissed the charges against him and reinstated him. Capt. Young did not let the matter rest. He had a warrant for assault and battery sworn out. Judge Murphy fined the brutal watchman $100. A motion for a new trial was granted, and the case has been reset. Last Saturday Sayers made a vicious as- sault on his wife. He claimed she was going to appear against him and choked her almost into insensibility. She went to Prosecutor Johnson to swear out a warrant and encountered her husband in the Four Courts corridor. He made for her again, but she gained protection in Attorney John- son's office. Another warrant was issued against Sayers and he was locked up. He is still in custody. When Gen. Lewis returned from Hot Springs he read of Sayers’ record in the Post-Dispatch. It was confirmed on inves- tigation and he dismissed him. The brutal watchman is still in the holdover awaiting trial for the assault on his wife. She is a self-supporting woman and takes care of her three children. She told Prosecutor John- son that her husband had never contributed to her me ig etl and during the past seven years had been frequently incarcerated in the City and St. Vincent’s Insane Asylums. Besides dismissing Sayers the board elected William H. Beneke, secretary, vice Capt. Wm. O. Keeble, who is made Sergeant and Acting Captain, and will probably be as- signed to the First District. They also removed Police Matron Louise Breen, Chief Harrigan’s appointee, and se- lected Mrs. C. A. Gilbert, a Work-house guard, for the place. Mrs. Gilbert was sup- ported by the W. C. T. U. Sergeant Martin King was acquitted of the charge of misappropriating funds; Pa- trolmen Mathew Fox and Thomas were dismissed from the force for drunkenness and unbecoming conduct, respectively. The licenses of Private Watchmen James J. Forbes and William Dace were revoked. Several fines were imposed for light of- fenses, and the charges against Detective Tom Tracy for maltreating a citizen were dismissed. BRIGHT BOY KILLED.

HANNIBAL, Mo., April 21.—Grover Cleve- land Leonard, a boy aged 13, accidentally shot himself through the head with -an old revolver this morning, killing himself in- stantly.

A Man and a Boy Dead and Three Buildings Burned. CHICAGO, April 21.—Two lives were lost and three dwellings partially destroyed by a fire which broke out early this morning in a building at 4226 Ashland avenue. The flames spread so rapidly that many of the occupants were forced to jump from the ladders. The dead are John McCleash and John Coyne. The bodies of both were but slight! burned. Coyne, who was but 13 years old, was found tightly clasped in the arms o McCleash, who had evidently perished in an effort to save the life of the boy. The origin of the fire is unknown.

A tle may be fought to-day be taken if the Turks are It is claimed by the Turks that their loss — was less than 300 at Milouna Pass and the Greeks acknowledge only 1,000 killed and wounded. . The Turks are preparing to push on to Larissa, the Greeks’ basis of supplies, and even to Athens they hope to go. The Greeks are reported to have seized two islands in the Aegean Sea, off Asia Minor. Damasi, in Macedonia, not far from Ml- louna Pass, was captured by the Greeks era da rate battle and burned. Hse sor Greeks have been to repel the invading hosts. A Greek has put to sea with sealed orders. It may attempt to force the Dardanelles. All the roads converging upon Larissa are crowded with fugitives, who are fleeing to that city to escape the advance of the Turks. The villages of the plain have been completely deserted by their inhabitants. At Athens wild indignation reigns and the demands are that the Greeks adopt re- taliatory measures to stop the barbarous methods of the Turks. ' The Crown Princess Sophia has returned to Athens, after visiting the hospitals at Larissa, and reports that the injured Greeks say that the Turks are putting to death their prisoners in the most horrible manner. They bullt fires around some of them and roasted them to death and in- flicted tortures upon others of their pfis- oners before dispatching them. The New York Sun's correspondent in London wires: Edhem Pasha, the Turkish commander in chief, continues to play Na- poleon’s opening in the chess game of war, enemy on the wings. The success of this policy will be almost certainly decisive of the whole campaign, for it will cut the Greek force in two and open the road for @ victorious march to Athens, The Greek successes at Prevesa and jn Southern Epirus will be of no value’ unless the Thessalian frontier, The Turks have decidedly the best of {t at the most critical spots. This is owing, ap- parently, to Turkish superiority, both In numbers and leadership. This is partly due to the careful tuition given to the Turkish officers by German military experts, as well genius. Correspondents who have watched his masterful control of every feature of the situation declare their belief that he wil] speedily march his army to Athena, graph that they have never seen such fight- ing. The men on neither side seem to know what fear Is. Turkish fatalism and Greek fury led the opposing ranks several times on Sunday and Monday to stand face to face with each other until both were mowed slaughter. One hillside in Milouna Pass was literally covered with dead and dying Greeks before possession was yielded to the Turks. This tends to justify the opinion that the war would be terrific, but brief. Many believe that hostilities will not extend beyond ten days. sume that the Greek cause is hopeless on account of the loss of important positions army, which is inferior in numbers, a eal ~ Me a Meee J " - nny a e so x 2 / bs Ls * * ‘eyo + 4 ; _ a _ a-. ‘) ae m, ae ( + ie , “ f 1 : - 5 “\ ay a « “ . oe er "s ay x -_ he - - ieee: _—. ror ; tht “* oo: sah v tes me. es 4 ‘ a £ iy Ps 4 See e 5 oe ee a ¢ gs ¥ 4 R 4 s 2 * * The Turks won a signal victory at Mflouna — > af 4 » ye down by the merciless mutual - ial ve 4 wry ¥ a io et ae Py al y “ ~ ds * > iy f‘ q a 1 vs se re , ‘ i im ; y : s omy ae 5 ¥ a - Ss Pul / eet) YEN AD fe. an a 5 ne on 3 THE EASTERN SQUADRON IS AT- ae . 7 Fs > : * ihe . oe oa! ¥ ® ia ae iy ; a “ ay Py +. oe “ ATHENS, Apfil 21.—1:30 p. m.—Tt fs re- i . ae a a ¥ we — ‘ - ’ ag of words cabled to London and New York stand the Turks are driven back at the vital point, — There is no great commander on the Greek side.

would be driven back or destroyed. It cer- tainly needs some such bold stroke, in the opinion of military observers, to equalize the pending struggle. It is more than ever apparent that Europe regards the situation as not beyond the con- trol of the powers, and as free from serious danger of a general conflagration. Should the tide turn and the Greeks become vic- torious, there is no doubt that financial and political Europe would be seized with alarm. Tt ig still the universal belief that the war will be localized. The agents of the Nationalists in New York have received a cable asking for dyna- mite cartridges for the Greek army. The agent would not talk much about !t nor tell how he expected to get the dynamite across the water, but it will not be far out of the Way to assume that he will send some of it over by Greeks for whom passage has been engaged during the week. The Greek Nationalist organization works with the utmost secrecy. The Irish Na- tionalists, in their palmiest days, did not succeed better in concealing from the right hand what the left was doing. No one knows exactly how much money this power- ful organization has behind it, but the fact that it has been able to pay out nearly $4,000,000 in two or three months without crippling the resources of the organization gives a fair idea of its strength. Some of this money will be sent to America to send Greeks home. A dispatch to the Sun from Rome says: Garibaldi, son of the Italian liberator, has received a dispatch inviting him to proceed at once to Athens. He has been awaiting the receipt of such an invitation and wiil at once start for the Greek capital, taking with him a number of Italian volunteers, who are anxious to serve the cause of Greece under his command. A communication has been received from the Ladies’ Committee of the Red Cross of Greece, asking that the women of Amer- ica form a committee to assist the work of the Red Cross at the seat of war in caring for the dying and wounded by sending funds and supplies. sm ——_ FROM CONSTANTINOPLE, Turks Are Said to Occupy Command- ing Positions Near Larissa. LONDON, April 21.—A dispatch received from Constantinople at the Turkish Lega- tion here last evening announced that the village of Kriechora, in Greek territory, had been occupied by the Turks and that the Turkish division commanded by Nechat Pasha, operating against Tyrnavo and Lar- isea, has carried’ all the positions com- manding the plain of Larissa. At Kriech- ora and Badit the Turks captured many prisoners and quansities of arms and am- munition. The Greeks who were defeated in the Milouna Pass are reported to have fled in a ceeerew direction and also towards Lar- ssa. —, ——— GREEK FLEET AWAITED. Turks at Salonica Prepare to Give Ita Warm Reception. LONDON, April 21.—A special dispatch from Salonica announces that the Porte of- ficials there are vigilantly looking out for the Greek fleet, having been informed that the war vessels of Greece have been ordered to make an attempt to seize that city, which is the basis of Turkish supplies for the army operating against the Greeks. The military authorities of Salonica have laid 150 torpe- do mines in the bay and further steps have been taken to protect the narrow entrance of the harbor between Cape Kara and the mainland of Macedonia Lookouts have been stationed on all the prominent headlands and points of vantage overiooking the bay, with instructions to immediately report the appearance of the Greek fleet, which is expected to make a semonstration against this place very shortly, The harbor has been thoroughly mined and a number of torpedo boats have been Stationed in well selected places. The en- trance of the harbor, from Cape Kara to the mainland of Macedonia, is strung with torpedoes and large quantities of ammuni- tion have been sent to all the batteries. There are rumors that a Turkish fleet has left the Dardanelles for this place and that “ will give battle to the Greek fleet in the ay. A number of Greek irregulars who have been brought here as prisoners, were said to have quantities of explosives in their possession. WHAT KING GEORGE SAYS. Turkey Began the Attack on Greece Be- cause Ordered to Do So. PARIS, April 21.—The correspondent of La Journal, at Athens, had an interview with King George of Greece at the palace. His majesty is quoted as saying that he be- lieved to the last moment that peace would be maintained and did his utmost to bring about a pacific solution of the matters In dispute. The King denied that Greece commenced hostilities against Turkey and argued that Turkey was not compelled to go to war because of the incursion of a few insur- gents whom nobody could have restrained. ‘The truth is,’ he said, ‘“‘we were attacked because Turkey was ordered to attack us. There never would have been war, but for certain intrigues which will appear later. All thi powers are more or less against us. If they wanted war they have got it. Such ie the result of the European concert. Eu- rope must understand that after forcing us to war there can be no question of limiting it. Our fleet is destined to take an import- ant part, as will soon be learned. Greece understands that she must either be vic- torious or disappear. The war may be pro- longed and bloody, but it is now too late to stop. A great crime has been committed against right and humanity in the Cretan qyvestion and the chastisement has now commenced.” TURKS ARE SURPRISED. It Appears That They Expected an Easy March to Larissa. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 21.—The Turk- ish authorities here admit that the losses of Ottoman troops since the outbreak of War with Greece have been considerable.

BAD FOR FILLEY. Wm. H. Smith, Col. R. C. Kerens’ Pri- vate Secretary, Appointed Sur- veyor of the Port. Col. R. Cc. Kerens has landed a blow over l'ncle Filley’s heart. A Washington dis- patch Wednesday says that the President has appointed Charles H. Smith to be Sur- veyor of the Port of St. Louis, vice Hon. Richard Dalton. Mr. Smith is private secretary to Col. Kerens and his chief political Neutenant, Mr. Smith knows every silk stocking in the State and is a popular and affable young man, It is his first offense at office holding. The appointment is significant in that it means Uncle Filley’s turn down at the national pie counter, with Kerens on the inside track and naming his favorites for the big Government positions he will pale Filley’s prowess through his control of the city machine. The Surveyorship of the Port is a lucrative position. There is room in the office for two dozen more silk stockings. SMALL-POX AT THE ST. NICHOLAS. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. house when a reporter for the Post-Dis- patch called. “I am dealing in fumigating material to-day,’’ the doctor said. ‘‘We ex- pect to have this house thoroughly renovat- ed.”’ Lodgers in the place were terribly fright- ened when the nature of McCannaha’s dis- ease was learned. The keeper of the place is inclined to be despondent. A Post-Dispatch reporter called at the St. Nicholas Wednesday morning to ask Man- ager Everett what he knew about the Mc- Clannaha case. “T don’t know anything about it,’"”’ Manager Everett retorted in a manner rather em- phatic. “‘All I know is that the boy you men- tion quit work here nearly a week ago and has not been back to the hotel since.”’ Mr. Everett would say nothing about the health department’s action in requiring vaccination among his employes, although Dr. Irwin who attended McCannaha stated to the reporter that he had vaccinated the hotel manager. ‘‘I feel sure that the hotel guests are in no danger,’’ said Dr. Irwin, “‘for the boy left here before there was any danger of contagion.”’ This is the first small-pox case of the pres- ent year and so far as the health depart- ment has been informed, it is the only case now existing in the city.

HE WANTS TO DO BUSINESS. By a Narrow Margin the Senate De- cided Against His Effort to Shut Off Debate. WASHINGTON, April 21.—A resolution by Senator Mason of Illinois to permit debate to be shut off and the previous question ordered in the Senate was referred to the Rules Committee to-day by ayes 82, nays 24, the nays representing friends of the Mason resolution, The maturing of the tariff bill was indi- cated by the deluge of petitions relating to tariff rates presented to the Senate to- day. Mr. Spooner (Rep.) of Wisconsin, sent a bundle containing several hundred pec one urging a re-enactment of the Mc- inley rates on lumber. Mr. Morgan (Dem., Ala.) reported favor- ably from the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions an amendment to the sundry civil bill roposing an increase of $50,000 to improve earl harbor, Hawaiian Islands. A resolution by Mr. Hawley (Rep., Conn.) was agreed to, duly acknowledging the in- vitation of Mayor Strong of New York to participate in the coming Grant ceremonies, and providing a committee of fifteen Sen- ators to be appointed by the Vice-President to represent the Senate, Mr. Cullom’s resolution introduced yes- terday calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for information relative to inter- nal revenue taxes on distilled spirits was agreed to. This cleared the way for an unexpected and very breezy speech from the new Sena- tor from Illinois, Mr. Mason, which aroused an outburst from the galleries. It occurred on the resolution Mr. Mason in- troduced yesterday, directing the Commit- tee on Rules to report a rule providing for the closing of debate and for the previous question. It was Mr. Mason’s maiden speech in the Senate and he was followed with great in- terest. He said, he desired to have the reso- lution go to the Committee on Rules and gave notice that unless some report was forthcoming at an early date, he would move to have the committee discharged so that the resolution could be brought before the Senate. It was agreed on all hands, proceeded the Senator, with a vein of sarcasm, that the United States Senate is a great body. That was the view particularly of those within the body and on the pay roll. But everyone knew also that it was the only legislative body in existence incapable of doing busi-. ness. Mr. Mason said he hoped he would be forgiven for these reflections for he was stillin the ‘‘kindergarten class” and he rec- ognized that he was thrashing over old straw. But he proposed to keep thrashing over this old straw during his next six years in the Senate. The Senate has agreed to vote upon all pending amendments and the Nelson sub- stitute to the bankruptcy bill at 8 o’clock to-morrow. It passed a bill for the relief of homestead pacers on that part of the Great Sioux eservation lying in Nebraska. - THE DINGLEY BILL. The Retroactive Clause Is to Be Knocked Out. WASHINGTON, April 21.—The Republi- can members of the Finance Committee of the Senate have reached an agreement either to strike out the retroactive provi- sion of the Dingley tariff bill or to amend it so as to pave the way for its being stricken out in conference and have s0 notified the Democratic members of the committee. The Democrats have agreed in view of this promise not to press the Vest resolution on the subject of Secretary Gage’s recent circular. This was one of the accomplishments of the visit of the Repub- lican members to the Senate yesterday. The sentiment among the Republican members is said to have been against the provision from the first, but they felt that to take decisive adverse action upon it in the face of Democratic opposition would place them in the light of acting under fire and taking a position because of the criticisms of the opposition. They there- fore asked that the Democrats keep their hands off until the Republicans should have had an opportunity to make their intentiong known, The Democrats considered this proposi- tion as reasonable and agreed to refrain from pressing consideration of the Vest res- olution until the result of the labors of the Republican members could be known. While not absolutely decided between the material modification of the provision and its complete cancellation, the balance of opinion in the committee is understood to be quite on the side of destroying it en- tirely. The Democratic Senators generally believe this will be the result of the com- mittee’s deliberations and expect that when the bill is handed to them the clause will have disappeared. PACIFIC RAILROADS. Mr. Bland Proposes to Keep Up the Agitation. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D.

LOCKOUTS. ~ A SCRAMBLE NOW, Caucus Called for Wednesday Night, When Dr. Hunter Will Quit the Senatorial Race. FRANKFORT, Ky., April @21—It was about 8 o’clock last night when Mayor George D. Todd of Louisville announced that he was a candidate to succeed Dr. W. Godfrey Hunter as the Republican nom- inee for United States Senator. Shortly after 8 o’clock this morning he announced that he had withdrawn from the fight, thus ending, after a brief, inglorious fashion, his race for the shoes of Dr. Hunter, May- ’s withdrawal from the race Is said to is ‘been due mainiy to the fact that the friends of Senator W. J. Deboe had as- eured Dr. Hunter of his future political death if he violated the ledges of support that he had given to Deboe, as it was un- derstood yesterday afternoon that Todd en- tered the race with the support of Hunter.

The Humphrey bills to rob the city of Chicago of the right to control the street railway corporations are not for Chicago alone. The charter of every such corpo- ration in the State is to be extended fifty years, and the control of such lines taken away from the municipalities and vested in a State Commission. There is nota city of 10,000 inhabitants in Illinois that is not vitally interested in opposing a measure that proposes to make street railway corporations superior to the communities which have given them existence and value and which have a right to regulate and control them for the public interest and welfare. Illinois municipalities have been active in the de- velopment of intramural transportation facilities and are not prepared to relin- quish ell contro) of instrumentalities cre- ated for the public good, but which, un- der the terms of the Humphrey bills, would become instrumentalities only for private aggrandizement. Senators who voted for the Humphrey bills under the false pretense that they ‘were purely local in their application have not deceived their constituents any more than they have deceived them- selves. There is hardly one of them who has not betrayed a large part of his con- stituency. He is a Judas and his treach- ery was probably bought as Judas’ was. = So --O- —a A POLICY OF FAILURE. It is claimed that what is really aimed at by Mr. McKinley in the appointment of delegates to an international mone- tary conference is to make a record. If he is able to say, at the close of his ad- ministration, that he has done his best for the promotion of international bimet- allism, the failure of the effort cannot be charged to him. In other words, the ~ ley intend® to make of faflure. Ten, hay. 9 pay the salary of Chief of Police Vallins. The grounds for the Council's refusal are that Vallins is not a citizen of. Kansas City, having resided there unly since last January, and that according tc the char- ter he cannot hold office there. This was ample ground for.refusing to recognize Vallins as a city official, but the truth is that the appointment of Val- lins as Chief of Police was an outrage, not only upon the Democrats of Kansas City, but upon the Democracy of the en- tire State. He has had nv experience except as a Pinkerton detective, and at the time of his appointmeur as Chief of Police he was the non-resident superin- tendent of the Pinkerton Agency in Kan- sas City. The statement has been pub- lished and remains uncontradicted that his family is still residing in Chicago and that his real home is in that city. Gov. Stephens should promptly inter- vene to arrest this scandal. It is now evident that he was deceived in his ap- pointments of Police Commissioners in Kansas City. There was good reason to suspect their fidelity before they were appointed. Now there is food reason to suspect them of premeditated] treachery to the State Administration and to the Democratic party. It is impossible to be- lieve that they did not know they were going contrary to Gov. Stephen,’ wishes and trampling upon the feelings and con- victions of Missouri Democrets when they turned out Chief of Police Julian and appointed in his place the head of the Pinkerton Detective Bureau. This act, if it is not promptly repudiated by the Governor, will not only disorganize the Democracy of Kansas City, but it will cost the Democratic party thousands of votes throughout the State. It will neutralize with the Labor element all the benefits that should properly accrue to the party ftom the enactment of the Fel- low Servant Law. The Democratic party must not and shall not be held responsible for the ap- pointment of a Pinkerton agent as Chief of Police. No good Democrat would have considered such an appointment, much less made it. The men who made it should be removed from the office which they have disgraced. a ABOUT SENATORIAL DIGNITY. The new Senator from Illinois was a long time in attaining the object of his ambition, because there was a fear that he would not maintain the proper degree of Senatorial dignity. It was known that he could tell a story and crack a joke, and there was a suspicion in some minds that he could even sing a song. Mr. Ma- son’s friends often and eloquently urged that Mr. Lincoln himself was a good story teller, a good joker and withal a great man, “But,” said the late and truly lamented Milt Mathews of Cham- paign County, “Lincoln was only a Pres- ident after all. There was never the mak- ing of a Senator in him.” Well, Mr. Mason, after forty days in the Senate, contemporaneous with the sackcloth and ashes of the Lenten sea- son, has been interviewed by the New York World as to his impressions of Sen- atorial dignity. The dialogue follows: “What is Senatorial dignity?” “Dignity is the air a man puts on when he can’t answer questions. Senatorial, it belongs to a Senator.”’ “What is it good for?’’ “To prevent the use of bad language, call- ing each other names, and settling disputed questions by the Marquis of Queensbury rules.’’ “‘What is it bad for?” “Public business.’’ “Where is it found?’ “Everywhere, except in the cloak-rooms.” “How long does it take to acquire Sena- torial dignity?’’ “You must ask somebody who has been a Senator longer than I have.” “Haven't you observed any symptoms of success in your case yet?” “I've got so far that I can read a name on a visitor’s card without touching it. I let the page hold it. You know a really dig- nified Senator throws his head back when a card is brought to him. The page holds it just before his spectacles and the Senator says, “Can't see that.’ I can do the first part already.” “Do you advocate its abolition?” “I think it would benefit legislation and the sooner the better for hlawmaking.”’ “Who is the greatest sufferer from it?’’ “The man without it.’’ “Who is most blessed by it?’ 2~ “The man who gets the mostood out of it is the man who has the mdgst of it. He's supreme.”’ \ Senator Mason refused to discuss per- sonalities, but he has drawn a half tone picture which only needs a little filling our to strikingly suggest his colleague, Senator Cullom. The junior Senator from Illinois has evidently met with some disappointments. But does he mean to insinuate that even in the Senate cloak- room Mr. Cullom unbends? If so, what unbends him? The Illinois W. C. T. U. would like to know. -_ . See te When a newspaper outside the Asso- Clated Press pays telegraph tolls, the cost is comparatively enormous. A news- paper receiving the Associated Press dis- patches gets the fullest and best reports at the lowest rates, and is also in a posi- tion to pay for the best outside tele- graphic service. In this way it doubly serves its readers. The Post-Dispatch is the only afternoon newspaper in St. Louis possessing the right to publish the Associated Press dispatches, and it is necessarily the paper that the public will have, independent of its other merits as @ live journal. Speaker Reed is being asked why it is that if the House exists to do business, as he has so emphatically averred, he ts now preventing all business in that body. The Speaker clearly hag not the weak- ness of consistency. Ae —_ a { “as good as a Government bond,” is be- Heved to be worth $20,000,000, Honesty ih business is much more profitable than many cunning people suppose, Political questions did not figure in the Illinois municipal elections of Tuesday sufficiently to give any party signifi- cance to the returns. The annually re- curring question of saloon license was the issue in nearly all of tne contests. The only significance attaching to theee elea tions was the evidence they afford of the fact that, wherever party lines are drawn, there is a growing tendency to- ward continued fusion of Democrats, Populists and silver Republicans. Se It is said to cost $200,000 to build a suit. able beet sugar factory, and that at least $100,000 is necessary as working capital. The first year may be a failure, and the second also, the profits coming in suc- ceeding years. It is well not to hasten into the beet sugar business without a perfect knowledge of its character and possibilities. ; No one in St. Louis needing an after- noon newspaper can well do without the Post-Dispatch, but with the Post-Dis- patch a newspaper reader can get along very well without the morning papers.

From a Chicago Record Letter. Representative Fleming of Georgia made an effort on the floor yesterday to show that an appeal from the Speaker's decision was a debatable question. Mr. Reed said thatit was not. After the adjournment, Mr. Fleming went to the Speaker with a HKttle book. It was entitled ‘‘Reed’s Parliamentary Rules.” In it was a paragraph which showed that the appeal could be debated. “What do you say to that?’ asked Mr. Fieming triumphantly. ‘‘l gee it,”’ drawled Mr. Reed, as he cast his eye over the paragraph in his book, “‘but, Mr. Fleming, the book is wrong.” Wide Open. From the Kansas City Times. The Bastern papers are unduly curious to know what Carter Harrison meant by say- ing that as Mayor he would make Chicago a “wide-open town."’ Mr. Harrison has de- nied that he said so. If he had, it would mean that Chicago wags to be run like New York and Boston, exceft, perhaps, that prize-fighting would not be so openly prac- ticed and encouraged. A Woman’s Question.

The new minister to Austro-Hungary 1s one of the richest men in Philadelphia. He inherited $10,000,000 and has added to it. He is fond of historical research and has spent much time in study abroad.

Some of the bags carrying the South Afrit- can mails have been made by Oscar Wilde during his stay in Reading prison, and one of them, by a curious coincidence, carried the typewritten copies of his plays recently produced in Johannesburg. It seems odd to hear of the Bourbons, who have the bluest blood in all the world, which has descended in lines of kings from the time of the crusades, going into trade, but it is a fact that Augusta and Charles De Bourbon, who are hereditary French princes, have taken up the wine business In Southern France. M. Goran, the famous French detective, who recently retired from the police, is one of the most accomplished men in his pro- fession. It was he who was intrusted with all the arrangements for insuring the safety of the Czar of Russia during his visit to Paris. The Emperor, accompanied by the detective, made a tour of the lowest quarters of Paris in disguise, and visited some dens of the worst repute. In China a certain Chon, described as very learned, is engaged in a crusade against foot-binding, an institution which has been cherished in his country for twenty cen- turies. Chon has started a sort of anti-small foot league, and a number of mandarins have signed a pledge engaging never to per- mit or encourage the foot-binding process among their familles or attendants. The Dowager Empress of China is in favor of the reform. WOMEN OF NOTE. Mother Gonzaga Kennelly, who is said to have been the oldest nun in Ireland, died recently at the Usurline Convent, Blackrock, County Cork. The reverend mother had spent sixty-three years at the convent, and was 88 years old when she died. Margaret Katharine Hinds, 1 week old on April 6, of Portland, Me., has a great- great-grandmother, two great-grandfathers, two great grandmothers, two grand- fathers and two grandmothers. On-her father’s side there are four living genera- tions and on her mother’s side five living generations. Miss Florence Marryat has established in London a school of literature, In which she will endeavor to teach young people to utilize literary talent to develop a theme into a plot, to compose stories, to construct dramas, to write leading articles; also the technique of criticising, reviewing and other branches of the literary and journalistic professions. Miss Marryat has had ex- perience as novelist, journalist and editor and doubtless can do much to smooth the pathway of talented amateurs. A small number of women have served as letter carriers in England for many years, and they give general satisfaction. Only a few months ago a noted old postwoman died at Sutsyke, some ten miles from Leeds. From the Queen’s accession, in 1837, till 1869, she was the letter carrier in the ancient town of Pontefract, and was never known to be absent from her duties from sickness during the thirty-two years. Monckton Milnes, first Lord Houghton, took an interest in her career, and was instrumental in ob- taining a government pension for her in her declining years. THE FESTIVE JOKER.

Only Native-Born Citizens May Join and They Will Be Pledged to Vote Only for Native-Born Citizens. There is a new quasi-political organiza- tion in the field which its promoters expect to far surpass the A. P. A. in the extent of its influence. Ostensibly its purposes are more thor- oughly American than the A. P. A., for it aims at no proscription against any religion. Its motto is “America for Americans,” and no man not born on American soil will Be eligible to membership. The name of the new organization, which is only just forming, is “The Americans.” Every member will be bound by oath to vote for no person for office who is not @ native born citizen of the United States. The movement is explained by its backers as being a protest against the domination of the large cities by the foreign element, whether Republican or Democratic, Irish, German, Swede, Polish or Italian. Its pur- pose is to put the American element into power politically. It igs not local in charac- ter. Its ramifications are extending all through the country. Lodges have already been formed in Eastern cities. 4 There will be a meeting in St. Louis ‘Thurs- day night of a more or less secret charac- ter, to take steps toward the formation ofa lodge in St. Louis. Bp i Morris, the Tenth Ward Republican politician, is the leading spirit in the movement here. He recently returned from an Eastern trip on business connected with it. He was in New York, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo and other cities where lodges have been formed, look- ing into the details of organization. He is very enthusiastic and deciares that in a few years ‘“The Americans” will control the whole country. The one point on which great etress is laid by “The Americans” organizers is that there is no proscription against any religion. Catholics and Protestants, Jews and Gentiles are all eligible and in demand, if they were but born under the Stars and Stripes. The scheme of organization, which in its scope is as yet confined to cities, where is congregated mostly the element of oppo- sition, embraces separate ward organiza- tions. Each one will be in the nature of a separate lodge, which will be under the supervision of the ‘higher local, State and national governing lodges or councils. There will also be a benevolent feature in connection with the lodges. The dues will be 10 cents a week from each member. This will insure burial in case of death. Not only will “the Americans” seek to put only native born American citizens into office, but its influence will be thrown to- ward a restriction of immigration, and the strictest interpretation of the laws of nat- uralization. It will oppose the granting of citizenship to any man who cannot read and understand the Constitution and also be able to write out in a legible hand his own application for the boon he asks for. ‘The organization,” said “Scotty” Mor- ris to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “is bound to grow. It appeals solely to the patriot- ism of Americans. There can be no objec- tion to it on the ground that it brings religion into politics. The question of re- ligion is not raised. All native born Amer- icans, regardless of their faith, are to be asked to join. “If a native born American refuses he will be classed as a foreigner. There are some men who will want to carry water on both shoulders. While proclaiming their Americanism they will be making a bid for the foreign vote by talking about uni- versal liberty and this being the land of the world’s oppressed. That won't g°. “It’s about time that something of this sort was done, It’s got so that a native born American can’t make a living, with the favors that are being shown to this race and that race, to curry politica] fa- vor. “T shall ¢all a meeting Thursday night of men whom I can trust and we'll get the thing started. There will be nothing secret about the organization; it will merely be exclusive.” KEEPING A SHARP LOOKOUT.

MOBERLY, Mo., April 21.—Late last night S. S. Rich, defeated candidate on the Citi- zens’ ticket at the spring election for Mar- shal, served notice of contest on Charles L. | Quayle, Mr. Dukane (visiting in Greensburg, Ind.): | the successful Democratic candi- date. Six grounds of contest are specified in the notice, but the only one of any im- portance is that of illegal votes counted for Quayle and legal ones cast for the con- testant and not counted by the judges. If the contest is persisted in by the Republi- cans {it will come up at Huntsville, July 5, 1897, before Judge John A. Hockaday. Chicago Is Aroused. From the Chicago Journal (Mossback Con- servative). Shall we deprecate the use of force when all means of persuasion have failed? Is it incumbent upon a law-abiding people to sub. | mit tamely when it is proposed to deprive them of their rights for fifty years? These | questions may be answered effectively by asking others. Was it right for the people of England to rise against Charles L.? Was it right fof the people of America to rise against George III? We are back again to the great fundamental problems of gov- ernment. We are concerned with the basic principle of self government and home rule, It were better that the Capitol bull should be razed to the ground than cae should pasa, better that every corrupt legislator should be dealt with by an . furiated mob. But they will not passed. Sordid wealth has at last ¢ stepped its bounds. The day of the proph has come; encroaching monopolies hf these (Mumphrey) bills The audience, gowned In the riotous ety of Bastertide, would have made a liant spectacle were it not that to remove & wrap meant acquiring grip or pneumonia. Gentlemen hid their immaculate shirt fronts behind closely buttoned overcoats not a glimpse of the ladies’ raiment visible. The effect was depressing on artists, for numb fingers are not prone to applause. The society was not to blame for the cold auditorium. The Exposition Building is being remodeled and the heating apparatus has been removed. There were other inconveniences, though, for which they were responsible. Late comers were many, as the concert began quarter of an hour before the usual time. They were not seated during the numbers, but when at last a thousand were packed in the foyer and lobby Mr. Ernst delayed but a few min- utes to let them reach their seats. Mean- while the crowd had to struggle with a flock of asinine ushers. When the conductor again waved his baton they were pushed into rear seats only to be routed from tem- porary places and driven about from pillar to post during succeeding intermissions. This unseemly interruption was kept up to the distraction of those in the dress circle until the performance was half over. A ten minutes’ wait after the first intermission would have straightened out the tangle. Late comers are not to be defended, but mismanagement is equally indefensible. The people who support the Choral Symphony Society are a class who come when they please. They usually come late and it would be just as well to handle them prop- erly. It doesn’t look we, either, when all the seats on the first floor are supposed to be subscribed for, not to have programmes enough to go round. It would take more than a cold hall and an irritated audience to destroy the charm of Saint-Saens’ music. There is a sense of something lacking in the work when pre- sented in oratorio form. During the ravish- ing orchestral episodes one longs for the delights of the eye, for glimpses of oriental magnificence, for the languorous swaying of odalisques, Delilah’s passionate wooing loses half of its effectiveness when directed at a gentleman in a dress suit sitting placidly three feet away. The music was written for action and yet it has been twisted into an oratorio because it dragged as a stage presentation. Perhaps it lacked the developing touch of a modern master of “mise en scene.” Calve would make an impressive Delilah. The role is within the range of her voice. Her histronic exposi- tion of the Philistine enchantress would make the performance alive with interest. Marie Brema was persistently advertised to sing the role at last night's production, but she did not come to America this sea- son. Mrs. Katharine Fiske was substituted. She is physically impressive and has a good voice. Despite her familiarity with the role she was nervous and sang her score at times with great trepidation. She was sur- passingly effective In the exquisite aria, ‘‘My heart, at thy sweet voice.”” The audi- ence awoke from its lethargy and showered her with plaudits. Mr. Gwilym Miles, an old St. Louis boy, came back a full-fledged oratorio artist. He has increased the compass of his voice and gained control of it. He was at all times equal to the demands of the score. The solo honors belonged to him. Mr. Ben Davies was Samson. The English tenor is technically a great artist, but he is sung out. His voice has lost its compass. In his struggles with the upper register his work lost effectiveness. An abortive at- tempt to hit a high note at the very close of the work made a magnificent climax ridiculous and sent the audience home ina serio-comic frame of mind. The work of the Symphony Orchestra was the most sat- isfying feature of the performance. Saint- Saens’ music is pretty, melodious, grandoise, barbaric. It tickles the ear and stirs the blood. There were no flaws in the work of Mr. Ernst’s musicians. They alone of the musical mosaic did their part con- vincingly. The chorus was not called on often, but acquitted itself creditably. A special matinee for ladies only will be given at the Fourteenth Street Theater Fri- day afternoon by Anna Eva Fay. — Eugenie Blair did some notably good act- ing at the Olympic last night, when she appeared as Mercy Merrick in “The New Magdalen.” The role suits Miss Blair. Wil- kie Collins’ heroine was of robust and at- tractive physique and Miss Blair fills the bill as snugly as she fills her own handsome gowns. Linda Downing as Grace Roseberry also did creditable work. Mr. Ferry was & satisfactory Julian Gray and the Horace Holmcroft of William Owen was accept- able. “East Lynne” will be presented to- night. Few of the younger generation of playgoers have seen this famous old play. The performance should be a pleasing one, as the company is admirably qualified for an interpretation of the various characters. —— , and was the Final arrangements are being made for the police relief benefit to be held at the Exposition during next week. Col. John D. Hopkins, upon whom has fallen the task of selecting the performers, reports that he has gathered an aggregation of vaudeville talent which Is hard to match. Among those on the list are Lew Dockstader, the Nawns, the Nuhlembark Arabs, McAvoy and May, the three Macarte Sisters, Maxwell and Simp- son, the Marvels, the Troubadour four and several others. From all indications it will be the best vaudeville show given here this season. FOR COLORED ORPHANS. Benefit Performance to Be Given at Ex- position Music Hall.

WILL OPEN “ER. LEAGUE SEASON BEGINS WHEN HE TOSSES OUT A BALL. PARADE AND A BIG BRASS BAND. Donahue and McFarland the Battery for the Browns, With Hawley and Sugden for Pittsburg. Herr Ziegenhein will be the guest of Herr Von der Ahe Thursday afternoon at New Sportsman's Park. He will tear open the red box containing a base ball, toss it to the umpire, and so open the League season in St. Louls. Herr Ziegenhein will not be the only big wig among those pres- ent. There are others to be found around the City Hall and Court-house, and they will attend the opening game, so Herr B. 5S. Muckenfuss says. Ex-Gov. Stone, who is sOmething of a fan in his own quiet way, will go out to root for 8t. Louis, and Gov, Stephens would be present too if he were not at Hot Springs. The Pittsburg players will arrive Wednes- day evening and wil] put up at the Lin- Geil Hotel. Thursday morning they will be thrown into carriages with the St. Louis team and, headed by a brass band of twen- ty pieces—Muckenfuss deciares there will be at least twenty in the band—the outfit will parade the principal streets and the curtain raiser to the big show will have been given. Donohue gnd McFarland will be Browns’ battery and Hawley and Sugden will officiate for the visitors. Bierbauer will play second base and Douglas wiil take care of left field. This meuns that: the hard-hitting Tacks Parrott will rest. his bones on the players’ bench. siutchinson u.a we Arije VWatham act and walied unt.) Herr Muckentuss and Herr Von der Ahe got scared anti telegraphed him a ticket. Muckentuss was down town Wednesday morning attending to the de- tails and when he had arranged everything hé sighed and said something which sounded very much iike ball-pliayers having to be driven to do everything. Hutch is in Min- neapolis and if he staris directly after the message and a ticket is given him he will arrive in St. Louis Thursday morning. He will probably be put in the box for the Saturday with Donovan's Pirates. AB the Post-Wispatch said Luesday, the chance for victory in the opening game favors the visitors on genera! form, The Browns have their familiarity with the grounds and the opportunity for unbroken rest preceding the game on their side. Then again, it is argued that the Browns always win the opening game on the home-grounds and the fans and admirers of Von der Ahe’'s ee get no littie satistaction out of this act. That the games will be close is testified to by the fact that no bets, or if any at all, very insignificant ones, have been made on the results. This is a momentous period for the Browns. Any sort of surprise may be expected from them. If they lose two out of three games with the Pirates people will laugh, shrug their shoulders and say: “Well, 1 told you so. They are no better than last year.” If may win two or perhaps the three games the people will laugh just the same and gay: “It is too early to crow. at first. Wait awhile.” The weather outlook for Thursday is good, If the same article is furnished as was put up Wednesday it will bring out a large crowd. There is an array of enthusiasts in St. Louis waiting to make up their minds whether or not to take interest in the game this year. They wiil be out in force when the gong sounds. We always win Despite the protestations of President Freedman of the Giants that he knowsnoth- ing of Amos Rusie having signed a con- tract to play with the New York team this year it seems to be a fact. Nick Young has answered queries in regard to the matter by a positive affirmative, and this alone would seem to be conclusive. It may be just as Freedman insists, that if Rusie hae signed, he has affixed his sig- nature to the regular New York contract, Such as was submitted to all their players and has accepted the terms and conditions as laid down by the club. It may be that the Giants’ management has not receded from the stand taken last year, but it is more than an odds-on proposition that some inducement, and a financial one at that, was the power which guided that pen When it signed Rusie’s name to a New York contract. ® reasons that make such a belief lit. tle short of actual knowledge are palpable to any one who has taken even a cursory interest in the case. Rusie and Freedman each took such a determined stand that it bore all the earmarks of a fight to the death for what either man imagined to be a principle. Efforts to get them together an compromise their differences were spurned with indignation by both men. It was a complete surrender for one of them, and neither ever gave the slightest evidence of weakening even when the most tre- mendous pressure was brought to bear. Then came the chucus of magnates in New York to plead with the owner of the Gotham club. Freedman refused to be a pariy to any peace offering, and in a 4i- rect and caustic manner informed his part- ners in the league that he thought that they were meddling with his business and that with or without their permission he would manage his own affairs. Three days after this fruitless visit of the club owners to the metro olis, came the an- ouncement that Rusie had signed a New ork contract, that he seemed well pleased, that Freedman knew nothing of the mat. ter, and that the big pitcher would imme- diately set out on his trip to join the Giants. Everybody except Nick Young refuses to talk, and he only enough to confirm what she others say. mn @ case #0 plain as this there is no need of words. The thing simméred down amounts to just this: That the magnates re determined not to have the reserve rule ade the subject of a decision of a court of aw; they could move neither Freedman nor usie, and they went right down in their own pockets and made good all the Hoosier ie the burning of a steamboat on the Hudson ver many years ago, many of the passengers were Growned.

Rusie’s action makes the Giants a factor In the league race, and F man’s action makes every capitalist who has money in- vested in baseball his enemy. i With Rusie back on the team, “Scrappy Bill” Joyce’s men are liable to finish in the froth. The team without the addition of the big boy from Indianapolis was a factor in the pennant race that was feared by all the other clubs and added to the per cent of games conceded to them as they were the number that Ruste takes out of the doubtful column puts the New Yorks right up with Baltimore and Cleveland in playing strength. Rusie says he is in better condition than he ever was. Fre has kept himself in good practice all the time he was idle in Indian- apolis, and thvs spring took a course of re- ducing baths at a noted Indiana health re- sort. His appearance, as described by the Hoosier ball critics, shows him to be pos- sessed of all his marvelous speed and skill, and there seems to be no real foundation for the fear expressed by some of his ad- mirers that his year’s absence from the fast game has caused him to grow stale. It did not cause Joyce to become a back number when he had the same length of tine out of the league, and Rusie has the advantage of youth over Joyce. If Freed- man has any fear that he is paying Rusie too much money under any apprehens-on that the pitcher is out of form, he can easily obtain two or three other pitchers and the money to pay their salaries from al- most any other ciub in the league for his release. WHO OWNS RUINART?P Porter Ashe and Edgar Mizner Both Claim the Fleet Racer. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 21.—A bitter fight, such as was waged for the possession of the old mare Geraldine, is on to de- termine the ownership of Ruinart, the grandly bred horse which captur the Burns handicap, landed the Palace Hotel stakes and proved to be, perhaps, the great- est racer in the State. The public believes that Edgar Mizner owns Ruinart, but R. Porter Ashe swears that the great racer belongs to him, and that he will fight for him as he fought for Geraldine. Horace W. Chase, brother-in- law of Mizner, insists that the animal is his property, and ‘f there be any justice in the courts of California, he gays, he will keep his own. The quarrel and Incidents it are more involved than Is Ruinart. Bills of ale, evasion of Sheriffs’ raids, and here and there the exhibition of the hatred of old- time friends complicate the history of Ruin- art, cloud his ownership and make him in more ways than one a worthy member of the family of which Geraldine was so distinguished a representative. After taking forcible possession of Ger- aldine, Ashe was forced to give a bond as security for the delivery of the horse if he lost the replevin suit brought against him and to insure his bondsmen he gave one of them, Chase, a bill of sale for Ruinart, then a green colt. Subsequently he agreed to race the horse in Mizgner’s name and also gave hima bill of sale for it. Now all three claim the horse, and are determined to fight for the son of St. Carlo, who is valued by such experts as Pat Dunne and Dan Ho- nig at $15,000. INTER-CITY RELAY RACE. that developed the pedigree of compromises Event to Be Run in Chicago and 8t. Louis Will Be Represented. An inter-city relay race is to be run in Chicago at Tattersall’s from May 10 to 15, and St. Louis will be represented by the fastest of the local riders. John West is at the head of the affair and W. P. Laing of the St. Louis Cycle Company, is looking after the team to uphold St. Louis’ reputa- tion. He has selected F. 1. Anderson, Ernest Stadte, Dave Coburn and Bert Hard- ing, which leaves at least four vacancies yet to be filled. Dute Cabanne cannot par- ticipate owing to business at home, and it is probable that Coburn will be prevented on account of his arrangements on the Na- tional Circuit. There will be six men and one substi- tute for each team representing a city, and they will ride in relays of two men each. They will ride every day from 10 o'clock in the morning to 10 in the evening. To the man riding the greatest number of miles every day will be given $% in gold daily and the second man will receive $10 daily. The team prize will be $1,000. As s00n as Mr. Laing selects the remainder of his team the men will be put in trainin and leave for Chicago about May 1. He wil make his selections before next week, ‘FRISCO SPORTS EXCITED.

MILES CITY, Mont April 21.—At meeting of the ‘ we i foots R Montana Stock Growers’ - for a protective 01 on cattle hides,’ PRIEST HAD 100 | MUCH INFLUENCE BERNARD BROCKMEYER OON- TESTING HIS FATHER’S WILL. OBJECTS TO THE LEGACIES. Frank Henry Brockmeyer’s Son Charges That Rev. Father Schaef- ers Was Unduly Persuasive. Bernard Brockmeyer has filed a suit in the Circuit Court contesting his father’s will on the ground that Rey, Fr. Schaefers of Bt. Nicholas’ Catholic Church had undue in- fluence over the old gentleman and caused him to make bequests he would not other- wise have made. Frank Henry Brockmeyer died last month and a few days later his will, made Feb. 23, 1897, was filed in the Probate Court. The bequests were: First, to St. Mary’s Infirmary, $100; second, to St. Vincent’s German Orphan Association, $300: Lena Pohl, under the name 4 ghey Band meyer, $50; fourth, to Joseph A. Schaefers as poate of St. Nicholas’ Church,$500: fifth to Joseph Schaefers, $50; sixth, to Joseph A. Schaefers as trustee for Annie Pohlmeyern an undefined amount; seventh, to Frank Al- bert Brockmeyer, son of the plaintifr. a house and lot, 407 South Fifteenth street: eighth, to Willlam Faerber, Aloysius Gar- thaeffner and Hexgry Jaegering, pastors of St. Mary’s Church, $200; ninth, to the Little Sisters of the Poor, $500; mainder to the plaintiff. The son says in his petition: “‘At the time of executing said instrument of writing purporting to be his last will and testament, Frank Henry Brockmeyer was not of sound and disposing mind and memory, but on the contrary was 75 years of age and in his dotage, and his mind and memory were so impaired and weak and his intellect had be- come so defective from old age and disease as to render him wholly incapable of making any just and proper distribution of his es- tate. ‘He did not when he affixed his mark to the paper comprehend the nature of the tenth, all the re- Anthony 7 disposition he was making of his estate, nor even the nature of the act which he was then undertaking to perform, and in point of fact and in truth, the paper does not express nor set forth the intention of the deceased.”’ Mr. Brockmeyer says further: ‘Joseph A. Schaefers is and at that time was a min- ister of the gospel and the pastor and spir- itual adviser of Frank Henry Brockmeyer, and as such acquired an influence and con- trol over his mind, and by reason of his confidential relations .and the influence thereby resulting, induced the testator to make the dispositions to the St. Mary’s Infirmary, St. Vincent’s Asylum, the pas- —_ of St. Mary’s Church and other lega- cies.”’ ‘ Brockmeyer ascribes all of those bequests to the influence of Father Schaefers, and asks that the will be set aside and that the defendants be cited into court to explain. SHORT CHANGE SWINDLERS. Henderson and Yeamans Arrested on Circumstantial Evidence. Bill Henderson and Frank Yeamans, well known confidence men and short change workers, were arrested Tuesday night by Detectives O'Connell and Dewar. For some time complaints have been made that short change men were reaping a har- vest on outgoing Iron Mountain trains. Union Station is so guarded that it was known the workers did not leave from there. Information from the railroad people was that the men took the train at the Vande- venter anvenue crossing and worked it by the time they reached the city limits. The officers were given descriptions of the men. Wednesday night they watched the Van. deventer avenue crossing and saw Hender- son and Yeamans start to get on a train. They answered the descriptions and were arrested. The police say that Henderson is a well known local short change worker and that Yeamans is regarded as one of the smartest men in his line in the coun- try. E. K. Trefnay, a merchant at 613 North Vandeventer avenue was swindled out of $10 by two men Tuesday. It is thought that Henderson and Yeamans did the job. Tref- nay was notified to call at the Four Courts and see if he could identify the men. If he does, they will be prosecuted tn the State Courts, Otherwise they will be sent to the Police Court. ST. LOUIS PRESBYTERY. Rev. Dr. Walker Chosen Moderator at the Annual Election. The Presbytery of St. Louis, General As- sembly of the United States, began an all- week session Tuesday evening in the First German Church, Tenth and Rutger streets. Routine business only will be considered at the two daily sessions. In the evening a sermon will be delivered by a visiting member. The annual election resulted in Dr. D. D. Walker, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church, being chosen as moderator, and Revs. F. A. Seamans and R. W. Mason, temporary clerks. At Wednesday morning’s session Dr. 8 J. Niccolls, Rev. . F. Ferguson and Rev. H. F. Williams presented a memorial on the death of Rev. Dr. Brookes. EXPENSIVE FOR COMFORT. He Had to Pay to Get Ella Branch Back From Memphis. Ella Branch, the negress who struck Wal- ter Stockton on the head with a hatchet in February, was brought back from Memphis Wednesday morning by Patrolman James Hunt of the Fourth Police District. After the assault Ella was arrested and C. D. Comfort procured her release by signing a bond for $1,000. She jumped the bond and it cost Comfort about $ to bring her back. To Sedalia. The train via the Missourl, Kansas* & Texas Railway, leaving Union Station at 11:0 p. m., gives Sedalia people an excellent chance to go to the theatre be- fore leaving for home. Frederick Hareland’s W:11. The will of Frederick J. Hareland was filed Wednesday morning. He leaves his en- tire estate to his wife, Emma Hareland on condition she does not again marry. In the event she marries the estate goes to his chil- dren. Frederick, Benjamin, Adolph and Harry Hareland and the wife getting only so much as she would have had had he died intestate. eeeeiiienemmeninadl Blood umor's ‘Whether itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, crusted, pimply, or blotchy, whether simple, scrofulous, or hereditary, from infancy toage, speedily cured by warm baths with CUTIOURA Soar, gentle anointings with CUTICURA (oint- ment), the great skin cure, and mild doses of CuTICURA RESOLVENT, greatest of blood Giticura THOSE While unnatural sounds occur in the! head as the result of too much blood passing to the brain and ears, still by far the greater number of cases of buzzing and ringing noises that are heard within the head result from entirely different causes than too much blood going to the head. In those cases where the noises heard in the head result from the rushing of an increased amount of blood to the brain, the sounds will be intermittent and will occur like puffs of steam, each puff corresponding to a beat of the heart which is forcing the blood along. * . - The most common and prevalent noise in the head is due to an interference with or stoppage of the inner air passages that | lead from the throat up behind the ear, drum. Noises resulting from this cause are often constant day and night. In some cases these noises occur like the ringing of bells, the buzzing of a bee, the hiss of escaping steam, or the roar like that made by a waterfall. Those who suffer from such distressing - noises, while often only slightly annoyed during the daytime, im- agine the noises are much worse at night, because the external noises of life during the day serve-to partially drown those heard within the head. When the tube that leads from the throat to the ear drum is free and open and in health, the waves of sound coming from without are con- veyed along the channel leading down to the ear drum, and these sound waves cause the little drum to vibrate and re- peat the sound to the inner chambers of the ear, where they are taken up by nerves and carried to the brain. After these sound waves have done their duty they pass out through the tube that leads from the middle ear to the throat and are lost and gone. . . When these tubes are blocked up the sound waves after entering the middle ear, and traveling along the channels and assages and canals of the inner ear, and aving done their duty, finding no open- ing for escape into the throat, they re- main in the ear, and one set of sound waves mingle with other and _ entirely different sound waves, until there is formed a confused jumble that never leaves, remaining ever present, assuming the form of one of the peculiar varieties of ear noises that are so commonly heard. This is the explanation of those ringing noises in the ears which so often warn the patient of approaching deafness, and LIKE REPORTS OF A CANNON. Mrs. Jessie Cerovich, 516 South Ew. ing avenue: “For years I had been ex- ceedingly deaf, especially in my right ear. I could only understand what any one said Sane LE Ge ST Lavi f Mrs. Joha Kurtzman, 604 Summit Av., East St. Louis, Ill., Testifies to Doctor Cope- land’s Skill in Curing Catarrh. by closely watching the lips. The noises in my head were enough to drive me distract- ed. There was always roaring, cracking and popping noises in my head. The pop- ping sounds seemed as loud as the report of @ cannon, and it appeared strange that no one heard them but me. I could not sleep at night on account of those terrible noises in my head. Now the noises have been cured and my hearing has been restored perfectly, for, whereas, before the cure, I was absolutely deaf to the loudest sounds, now I can hear the lowest whisper.”’ LIKE CHIRPING OF CRICKETS. es st Henry Beyl, 817 Franklin avenue, with the American Steel Foundry, Granite City, lll.: “I was troubled constantly with disagreeable noises in my head, sometimes like the murmur of water and then again like the chirping of crickets. This was very noticeable when I went to a quiet place to try to read. These noises were so distract- ing that I ecould not concentrate my thoughts on any subject. These noises have left me now and my hearing is wonderfully improved.” BUZZING AND RINGING NOISES. Frank Nolan, 2613 Stoddard street, employed at Barr's: ‘“‘Besides being very deaf, there were constant buzzing and ring- ing noises in my head. These sounds be- came intolerable. I could have no peace or quiet as long as these unceasing and dis- tracting sounds kept up. I could not think so often accompany deafness. This is what the doctors mean by Tinnitus Au- rium. e , If you go into a deep eave and have the entrance blocked up behind you, so that there will be no outlet for the air that is contained in the cavern, and then cry aloud, you will hear the cry repeat- ed from chamber to chamber, from gallery to gallery, until it comes back to you multiplied, increased and confused as a collection of discordant sounds, and en- tirely different from the original cry that you uttered, and the entire cave will echo and re-echo, and repeat and vibrate with the waves of sound, until at last there will be heard an indistinct hum, which so permeates the imprisoned air that it can almost be felt by the super- ficial nerves of the body. This is the same thing that occurs in the caverns of the ear when their outlet, the Eusta- chian tube, is blocked wp by disease. . . Now, before any marked sense of lost hearings is observed, a great many peo- ple notice the confused and ringing noises in the ear. They notice they hear better in a crowd or in a noisy street car, where the rattle and hum of the machinery 15 taking place, than they can in the quiet of their own homes. The reason for this is that the busy sounds of life drown the internal head noises, and allow in a noisy place the external sounds to be analyzed, while in a more quiet place the head noises make such an impression that or- dinary conversation is heard muffled and indistinct. > > . One of the very first signs that the hear- ing is about to fail is the presence of ring- ing noises in the head. During the day the pleasures of a person so affected are seriously interfered with, while during the night that follows, a succession of horrors is presented, which in many instances ren- der refreshing sl@ep impossible. During the treatment of deafness the usual course is to get the ringing noises to cease, and this often happens some little time before improvement in the hearing 1s noticed. LIKE BELLS RINGING. Mrs. Emma A. Faine, 4536 San Francisco avenue, speaking of her 7-year- old son, David, says: “David had been quite deaf and he complained of noises in the head like bells ringing. These noises were especially loud during the quietness of night. I had to speak in a very loud voice to make the little fellow understand, but now his deafness is cured and the noises have ceased to trouble him.” LIKE BUZZING SOUNDS. William Deiken, 109 8S. Fifteenth street: “I had been deaf nine years and be- sides there were constant buzzing sounds in my head that annoyed me terribly. In fact, they seemed go loud at night that I lost many hours’ sleep. That continual noise in the head was certainly most disa- greeable, as you cannot get away from it. I am delighted to say that those distracting noises have been entirely relieved and my hearing is now as acute, po or egdicae, perfect as it ever was in mp life” — Foy a> BROT Foe ne es Ss Pe ay or study. the noises have left me.”’ ROARING AND POUNDING NOISES that I became very deaf. ing and pounding noises In my head that! physician’s Monographs on the Stom- were L.

My deafness is now cured and ING NOISES ARE AT LAST EXPLAINED Doctor Copeland Describes for the Doctors and for the People THE CAUSE OF THOSE NOISES IN THE EARS, WHICH HAVE PUZZLED THE PROFESSION FOR CENTURIES. The Famous Physician Shows That the Tinnitus Aurium (Ringing Noises) Which Warn the Patient of Approaching Deafness and Often Accompany Deafness Are in a Word Imprisoned Sounds in the Inner Ear. LIKE ROARING SOUNDS. Judge R. H. Dunlap, St. Charles, Mo., says of his little daughter Bessie: “For six years Bessie had been very deaf, and besides this she complained of roaring noises in the head that seemed to shut out all other sounds. She eald there was a constant roar that never left her, and it was especially loud at night. We tried a number of doctors, but Bessie received no benefit until she took the treatment of Doctor Copeland. Now the noises have disappeared and her hearing is restored.” LIKE STEAM ESCAPING. Capt. W. A. Jenks of “St. Louis Harbor Boat,”" and residing at 2714 N. Twenty-first street: “I attribute my deaf- ness to work in submarine armour ten years ago, the alr-pressure being very high and causing my ears to bleed. My hearing gradually became worse and besides I suf- fered with severe pains in the head and all the time there was a constant buzzing like the sound of escaping steam. I lost a great deal of sleep and several times had to leave the boat on account of the severe pains and the distracting noises in my head. Now I am entirely cured of the pains Mes. Jessie Cerovich, 516 South Bwing Av. Hearing Pertectly Restored. : and noises and my hearing is as perfect it ever was in my life.” . LIKE RUNNING WATER. Henry Wolff, sexton of Friedens Cemetery, north end of Broadway: “I am 57 years of age and had been deaf for twen- ty years. I also suffered with a constant noise in the head like the sound of running water. This never*left me day or night, and was especially noticeable at night when everything was quiet. I could never have a moment's peace on account of this never ceasing noise which distracted my thoughts and interfered with my work. Now, I am glad to say, the noise has left me and I can hear perfectly.” LIKE THE SURGING OF THE SEA. Mrs. 8. D. Wilson, 1614A Carroll Street: ‘‘There was a constant noise in my head like the incessant surging of the sea, which was very distressing to me, It made me very nervous and I lost a great deal of sleep. The noises have left me and I can hear again plainly.’ THE NOISES GAVE WARNING. James O’Brien, 1009 Chouteau av., Mate on steamer “Dolphin No. 2:" “Bight years ago ringing noises commenced in my head. They were the warning sign and my hearing gradually failed. The noises were incessant for years, but now they are all gone and my hearing is restored.” DR. COPELAND’S BOOKS FREE.

These noises have now been entirely stopped and my hearing is | very good indeed.”’ LIKE A STEAM ENGINE. Mrs. Nellie C. Bosquit, 1811 Gaty avenue, East St. Louis, lil: “I had been deaf all my life, and besides suffered from roaring and buzzing sounds in my head. Sometimes they would be so terribly loud that I would ask my husband to try to hear them. They seemed to make the whole house tremble, and it did seem that other persons ought to be able to hear them when they were so loud to me. I had a great pounding like a steam engine in my ears all the time. It was like the rum- ble, roaring, click and din of heavy machinery in a mill. This put a great strain on my nervous system and I am de- lighted to say that the noises have bedéh relieved and qmy hearing !s now perfect.” ROARING AND RUMBLING NOISES Miss Alice Norton, Vincennes, Ind.: “T had a roaring and rumbling in my ears, and such a severe earache that I couldn't sleep at night. These noises were inces- sant and were enough to drive me dis- tracted. I was getting worse and worse, but now I am cured perfectly of the noises, deafness and pains.” CONSTANT RINGING NOISES. E. C.

Apri! 21. — Wheat opened with little excitement to-day and no special] feature beyond lc advance in prices fol- lowing a sharp rise of 2@3d in Liverpool cables. The latter was puzzling to the trade in view of higher conso!s and was attrib- uted partly to bad European crop hews. May wheat in this market opened at 81\%0 and later sold up to 8l%c. The prevailing sentiment was bullish War news was somewhat sensational and other market in- fluences have begun to attract the atten- tion of speculative traders once more. THE MARKETS. There were all sorte of war rumors afloat to-day, but the one which had the greatest effect on the market was that one of the great powers had de- cided to aid Greece in her struggle and was pre- paring for active operations. New York, Chicago, Toledo and Detroit all re- ported heary export bisiness, but these reports were not confirmed. Later cables made Liverpool wheat higher, but stated that this strength was chiefly due to the narrow difference between New York and Liv- erpool prices, which caused buying orders to be sent from this side. Crop news is generally better to-day, but there are still numerous complaints of delayed seeding in the Northwest. There was a rumor afloat on the floor this morn- ing that $1 per bushel had been bid for a large quantity of cash wheat for the purpose of con- trolling the market. Reerhbohm estimates the wheat crop of India at 141,000 bu, as compared with 204,000,000 in 1806 and 255,000,000 bu in 1895. No wheat will be ex- ported this year. The exports in 1896 were 3,540,- 000 bu and in 1895, 18,800,000 bu. The stocks of wheat in public warehouses tn Liv- erpool are 4,107,000 bu and of corn 1,080,000 bu. ne stocks of flour in the principal ports of the United Kingdom on April 1 were 880,000 sacks. outside of those held by millers, as compared with 724,000 sacks in 1806 and 715,000 sacks in 1895. The opening cables were: LAverpool—-Spot wheat firm; futures dull to steady, 1%d higher. Corn--Spot firm, 4d higher; futures lad higher. London—Wheat cargoes arrived off coast firm, but not active; on passage rather firmer. Corn cargoes off coast quiet; on passage firm. English country markets partially 2s dearer.

SOUTHERN ASSEMBLY. Semi-Annual Meeting of the St. Louis Presbytery. The semi-annual meeting of the St. Louts Presbytery of the Southern Assembly of the Presbyterian Church began Tuesday evening in the Peoples’ Presbyterian Church at Eleventh and Locust streets, Among other matters of importance to be considered are the reception of a new church ahd pastor and the selection of lay and ministerial commissioners to the Gen- eral Assembly at Charlotte, N. C., next month. An effort will be made to have the Assembly meet here in 1898. The Presbytery Tuesday evening elected S. M. Watson of St. Charles_ moderator and Joseph H. Alexander of St. Charles temporary clerk. The business of Wednesday was con- cluded by noon, and was followed by a sermon by Rev. C. W. Latham of Lincoln County, Mo. After the sermon the ladies of the different denominational churches served ‘luncheon to the members of the ad 9 And Wednesday evening Sabbath-school work will be considered and addresses will be delivered by Dr. M. C. Williams and Mr. Greenwood, Jr. TO STOP BRUTALITY. Capt. O’Malley Prohibits the Beating of Holdover Prisoners. Complaints of the ill-treatment of pris- oners in the Four Courts holdover be- came so frequent that Police Capt. O’Malley issued an iron-clad order Wednesday. Hereafter when any member of the police or detective force assaults a prisoner for re- fusal to talk, or for any other cause, charges will be preferred, and the officer will have to explain to the police board. A favorite past‘ene with detectives has been to drench prisoners with a bucket of water for refusing to answer questions. Capt. O’Malley says water throwing will be strictly tabooed, and in his order he calls especial attention to this feature. HE HAS A HOME NOW. Edward Hogan Will Live at the Work- House Half a Year. Edward Hogan, alias Kelley, a well known police character, was sent to the Work- House for six months Wednesday. He was fined $100 by Judge Peabody. Hogan was not exactly a vagrant, but he was tried under the Mg og | clause. He has been charged with petty forgeries, ut- tering worthless checks and similar offenses, and had served numerous work-house sen- tences. He could not prove that he had a regular place of abode and Judge Peabody supplied him with one for six months. RIVER BULLETIN. D ST. es ent * 21. anuer. Gauge. Chan 2 6.8 0.8 8.1 12.0 Stations.

Judge Zachritz’s Unique Instructions Stumped the Jury and They Called the Deal Off. There's a woman living at 2733 Olive street who wants to know where she's at. When she arose Tuesday morning her name was Margaret Ellen Fraser, at least she thought so. When day broke Wednesday she was at a loss to know how to address herself. This was all due to a remarkable verdict preceded by a remarkable charge from the Judge in the Criminal Court Tues- day evening. The verdict was a philanthropic one. Thir- teen men came to the conclusion that the one man who stood before them c with b y had endured his share of mis- ery and decided not to inflict any more. here is some interesting history con- nected with this case which for six months has been the gossip of many St. Louisans, for the Frasers are old residents and have numerous friends in the vicinity of Jeffer- s0n avenue and Olive street. Edward S. Fraser was married to Mar- garet Ellen in November, 1878. The day after the wedding she left him, Six months later she came to him again, then once more left him. This was kept up for ten years, Fraser says she always skipped when she got any money. Three years ago, Fraser, so e testified, was informed his wife had @e- cured a divorce. This information came in @ roundabout way through Agnes Zelia, a young woman who dances on the s and was recently with the “Merry World” com- pany. She is Margaret Ellen's daughter. Fraser, believing he was free, married again, this time to Flora B. McCoy. Justice ra tied the knot on May Then Mr. and Mrs. Fraser started ey at 2613 Pine street. One day last November a woman walked into a newspaper office, exci asked for the city editor, and said if he would send a reporter with her, she would fur- nish an item that would be a Then she led the way to the works of Taylor & Co., 110 North Bighth stree There she called out a mild-mannered, in- offensive man of about 3 years and ad- ministe.ed a tongue-lashing that meade me air blue. er she went to the Four Courts and swore out a warrant against him, charging bigamy. Edward Fraser was locked up, then re- leased on ball. A week inte be lost his job and two months later his wife ora gave birth to a child. The two would hav starved had it not been for the kindness 0 friends. The case was continued from time to time and trial was finally begun before Judge Zachritz Monday. Fraser pleaded not - ty, but admitted having contracted th marriages. By way of extenuation he said he had every reason to believe Ellen had secured a divorce. She had in- formed him she intended so doing and others had told him the decree had been rendered. That was really all there was to the de- fense. Then it was shown how Margaret Ellen had acted; how she had frequentl left the defendant. The prisoner testifie to so much misery, Job and his troubles were put in the shade. It was shown that among other congenial occu tions Mar- garet Ellen was a spotter on Scullin’s line. Finally Judge Zachritz made this unique charge: Fe you believe and find from the evi- dence in the case that the defendan Edward 8S. Fraser, was, at the city_0 oe tir ge gh of in nrten ‘work, TWO BOYS DISAPPEAR. Louis Cline and George S. Foster, J¥., Have Run Away.

MERCHANTS DISCUSS THE ST. LOUIS BILL OF LADING. TEAM -OWNERS ALL OBJECT. Claim That by Doing Their Own Haul- ing They Avoid Paying the Arbitrary. The 2,200 members of the St. Louls Team Owners’ Association. are not alone in op- posing the Manufacturers’ Association’s plan for a St. Louis bill of lading. There are a number of large firms in 8t. Louls who have their own wagons and to their own hauling across the bridge. These firms, while not opposed to a flat St. Louis bill of lading, will not indorse the form of contract which Tom L, Cannon has laid before the shippers and railroad companies. J. M. Allen, Traffic Manager for the Meyer Bros. Drug Co., has decided views on the subject and states them forcibly. “The St. Louis bill of lading, as advocated by Mr. Cannon, is all rot,”’ said Mr, Allen Tuesday. “It is a sentimental play to en- able certain people to retain their influence and others to hold their jobs. “Tt will not benefit any shipper in St. Louis and will put many of them at a de- cided disadvantage. The solution of the bridge arbitrary question does not Iie with the Manufacturers’ Association, or any sim- ilar body. Every shipper has it in his power to take the burden of the arbitrary off his shoulders. ‘The constant reference to the bridge ar- bitrary as a wall around the city has done more to injure St. Louis’ reputation and trade than any other form of agitation. “Tt is true that St. Louis is hampered to a certain extent by conditions resulting from her position on the western bank of a bi river. These conditions cannot be eliminated, but they could be improved if shippers took the proper steps. “As long as there are bridges shippers must pay to have their goods transferred across the river. As matters stand the arbi- trary bridge charge is a heavy burden on shippers and a handicap on the city, but ét need not be so. “No shipper need pay the 2 cents a hun- dred bridge toll on freight going out of or coming into St. Louls unless he desires to do so’ or is too blind to his own interests to apply the remedy which he has at hand. i? he will operate his own teams and do his own transferring he can reduce his ex- penses for transfer at least 70 per cent, “With bills of lading to East St. Louis as at present the shipper can on his own wagon transfer 8,000 pounds of freight across the river in either direction for 35 cents either over the bridge or by ferry. The same freight if transferred by the bridge company is subjected to a tarnft of 2 cents a hundred pounds, making the cost of transfer either wa 6. “pere is nothing at present to prevent any shipper from taking his freight out of the hands of the bridge companies. “With a bill of lading like that proposed it would be different. What Mr. Cannon has been pleased to call a St. Louis bill of lading has in it a contract clause which would force the shippers using it to pay the full bridge charges on freight into and out of St. Louis. A shipper ordering his goods shipped to St. Louis will sign a contract which will prevent him from stopping the oods at East St. Louis or any interme- diate point. If he does stop there he will have to pay the full rate to 8t. Louis, just as if the shipment had come through. “With the proposed so-called St. Louis bill of lading goods would be delivered at the railroad companies’ depots on this side or at beet in the Terminal yards at Tweijf:h ard Poplar streets. The "local shipper would have to pay the drayage from the depot or yards to his place of business Whether he operated hig own teams or patronized the St. Louis Transfer Co., he would have to pay dray- age charges in addition to the reguiar bridge tolls included in the freight rates “aa most firms are situated their wagons could make a trip to — St. Louis almost as quickly as to the 5t. Louis terminals and at less expenee. “Firms which have their own teams wi) certainly notytake advantage of the g¢. Louis bill of lading as projected. Their own interests will compel them to order their goods consigned to East St. Loula, “While I am not prepared to say that a St. Louis bill of lading, with & provision for store door delivery, would not be a goog thing, the much-exploited achievement of Mr. Cannon looks like a very Small mouge brought forth by an undersized mountain, “Constant harping on St. Louls’ unfortu- nate position, without any real effort to better it, has put thousands of dollars into the pockets of Chicago merchants, “Statements given out by Tom Cannon are used as arguments by cago drummers throughout a we which should be tribut to St. u “The hiding of the bridge ae ¥- 7 ip a freight rate will do no good.

The drayage charge is sO small that business houses can afford to absorb it to hold and extend their trade.”’ Frank M. Johnson, traffic manager for another large concern which does its own hauling, feels as Mr. Allen does and says that many firms would refuse to use the St. Louis bill of oeing under the conditions for- mulated by Mr. Cannon. C. F. Blanke, another heavy shipper, said: “As far as I am concerned I would rather see conditions remain as they are at least with respect to the billing of goods to and from East St. uis. We do what hundreds of other firms could do. We transfer all our oods to and from the depots at East St. uis at a cost of only cents a round trop. This, allowing for the care of the teams and expense of running the wagons, Still leaves us a margin of nearly 70 cents on the bridge rate we would have to pay with a St. Louis bill of lading. “There is no question that local shippers could do their own hauling if they would. The St. Louis Transfer Company now does the bulk of the business with wagons. There are at least $,000 teams available in St. Louis and if they were properly em- ployed shippers here and abroad would not feel the burden of the bridge arbitrary.” T. H. Sawyer, traffic posager for the Brown Shoe Co., said: ““‘While the St. Louis bill of lading would not be of any grtat benefit to us and would, in some instances, work to our detriment, I am inclined to in- dorse it because I think that in a certain way it will be a benefit to the city. It will conceal the bridge arbitrary and it may stop the agitation of the question which has been going on for a long time. It is not advisable to advertise St. Louis traffic aff- ficulties. There is wide room for discus- sion as to the advisability of adopting a bill of lading like that proposed but as ay shippers seem to favor it, it should not be opposed. Those who do not desire to use it can still have their goods shipped to East St. Louis and brought to this side at an expense less than the bridge charge, which will be included in ‘the St. Louis rate. “If the new system results in lessening the delay in getting goods into and out of St. Louls something will have been accom- lished, though, of course, all shippers now that the actual bridge charges, while hidden, will be as heavy as they are at present.”’ After a Day’s Hard Work Take Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

Thomas of Albany, who was for many years a member of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee, and who has attended every Democratic National Convention either as delegate or spectator for fifteen years, is registered at the Plant- ers’. Mr. Thomas is cashier of the Bank of Albany, and has long been a prominent factor in State politics. Column after column hag been published about Mr. Thomas’ beard. Should Senator Peffer of Kansas evef get a look at It, his envy would certainly be excited. But Mr. Thomas is not in the least bucolic in appearance. He is a neat dresser and looks like a well groomed city man. His long beard, which reaches to his knees. {a always neatly kept, and in order to avoid the inconvenience that would result from ne a it full length, he tucks it away under his shirt front, giving him the ap- pearance at a casual glance of having whiskers only of ordinary length. Mr. Thomas is here to attend the Masonic meeting. Senator H. H. Hohenschild of Rolla its at the Laclede. Senator Hohenschild bears the distinction of os the youngest Sena- tor in the Thirty-ninth General Assembly. He was barely old enough to meet the constitutional age requirement. He is prominent in Masonic circles and is here to attend the annual conclave of his order Senator Hohenschild is a Democrat of the Bryan type, and made a great record as a public speaker during the last presidential eg The fact that he speaks Eng- glish, German or French with equal fluen- cy, rendered him able to address any kind of a crowd. Many of his speeches were de- livered in German. Among the many interesting old-timers congregated in 8t. Louls from various parts of the country to attend the Masonic conclave, is Col. Joseph Browne of &t. Joseph. Col. Browne |g devotes more time to the study of Free Masonry.in all its phases than any other man in thé State of Missourt.

They Don’t Like the New Rules Made to Head Off Schawacker. Chris Schawacker is just now the most generously cussed man in 8t. Louls. Most of the profanity comes from the undertak- ing fraternity. few weeks ago Chris, who Is very guile- less, was basely imposed on by a man named George rdon, who spirited away the corpse of Albert Hanks. , Chris got the body from the City Hospl- tal without showing that he was authorized by the relatives and took out a shipping permit to send it to New York. The Health Department has a way of locking the stable after the horse is stolen, and weighting down the door with ponder- ous bolts. After Hanks’ body was gone the head- works of the department syndicated their thoughts and came to the conclusion that the thing to do was to make the under- takers present cards of authorization be- fore receiving bodies from the public in- stitutions. That was all right, but as usual the pendulum swung from the extreme of carelessness to the extreme of caution. Notification was given that no burial or shipping permits would be issued unless cards signed by relatives were presented at the mortuary offlee. The undertakers have kicked without ceasing. First they damned Schawacker, who was the innocent cause of it all, but that di@ no good. Now they are turning their attention to Health "Commissioner Starkloff. in the mortuary office between undertakers who met there. There has been much talk of a united protest. It is probable that a meeting will be held In a few days at which protestive resolutions will be adopted and the Health Commissioner will be petitioned to annul the obnoxious rule. Like a good many other Health Depart- ment rules it is farcical. It annoys the conscientious undertakers, The unscrupu- lous ones whom it is supposed to gestrain laugh at it. Many of then never take the trouble to have the cards signed by relatives. It is just as easy to sign them themselves, and it saves the trouble of making a long ex- planation, The mortuary clerk cannot be sup know the handwriting of every y in St. Louis, and if the card [s signed he accepts it and the permit ts issued. ' The card rule ts really an advantage to an undertaker who wants to get possession of a corpse to which he has no right. He signs a fictitious name to one of the cards and presents it.
