Magnificent Parade and Impressive Ceremonies, With an Eloquent Tribute by President McKinley. ’ | Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 27.—The crowning honors to the memory of Ulysses Simpson Grant, soldier, statesman and patriot, were paid to-day by the republic. It is the 75th anniversary of the birth of him whowasdes- tined to become the greatest and most suc- wessful General of the civil war, the ‘‘Man of Appomattox,” twice President of the United States, and it was eminently ap- propriate that this anniversary should have been selected for the dedication of the im- posing and majestic mausoleum in which his remains will hereafter rest until the sound of Gabriel's trumpet summons the dead from their slumbers. As great honors have never been paid to the memory of a departed monarch, or man of the people, as to-day, twelve years after se from the stalls of street venders and the facades of mighty hostelries and loftier of- fice buildings; from the spars of merchant ships and from the bows of the humblest of canal ‘boats. Long before the sun had risen above the eastern horizon the streets were thronged and earnest was given of the mighty hosts which later in the day would crowd the line of march and surge around the mausoleum of the great General. The ceremonies proper began at sunrise, when from the tall flagpole negr the tomb was flung the immense American flag fur- nished by the Daughters of the Revolution. There it will fly night and day, in fair weather and foul, until the winds have worn it away and the suns have faded its colors. At the same time the marines on the warships were piped to quarters and landed on shore to stand and receive the head of the land column. Bands were playing on land and water; children were singing and youths shout- ing in very joyousness of spirit, for it was agreed on all sides that the prevailing note should be joy over the memory of a great man honored; not sorrow over the death of a hero. The Fifth Avenue Hotel was the scene of hustle and excitement during the early morning. The broad corridors were filled with native and foreign dignitaries and al- most every second person blazed with bullion and military trappings. In a side room were the members of the Reception Committee, who formed the escort of the guests of the city. Among the earliest of these guests was Speaker Reed. who loomed like a veritable giant. Sir Jullan Paunce- gote, the British Ambassador, was under the wing of Chauncey M. Depew. Gen.: Scho- field and Gen, Ruger were together. Mr. Cleveland arrived at the hotel at 9:15, with Mr. Gilder. Troop “‘A”’ had alreatly lined up on the west side of the park. Acting In- epector Wallace, with 105 men, kept the roadway clear and only those with passes were permitted within the lines. Secretary Long of the navy followed close on the ex- President's heels. Loud shouts of the people announced the arrival of the President at 9:%. He rode in a carriage with Gen. Porter and Mayor Strong. His reception was flatter- ing in the extreme and he bowed repeated- ly. His usually grave face was wreathed in smiles. Vice-President Hobart joined the President and Gen. Porter and Mayor, and the open barouche in which _— - GRANT AT a . HE CLOSE OF THE WAR. (From a highly prized photograph taken in Washington).

Al- they were seated drew up in the center of the plaza, where it took its place at the head of the line. Gen. Butterfield in his unj- form of a retired General of the army rode at the right of the barouche, which was preceded by a picked force of mounted po- joemen, The military escort included one Sergeant and ten men of Troop A. In the meantime the diplomats had de- parted by the Twenty-fourth street en- trance, leaving the way clear for the Grant family, the Cabinet and others. The Grants left the hotel by the Fifth avenue entrance a few minutes ahead of the President's party. Mrs. Grant leaned on the arm of her son, Col. Fred D. Grant, and the others though the bulk of the funds for the me-) followed. Altogether they occupied eight morial were contributed by the people of Greater New York, yet the celebration was mo mere local affair. The republic was rep- resented by its Chief Executive, the mem- bers of the Cabinet and the representatives of the people in the Senate and House of Representatives. Every foreign country joined in the solemn ceremonial, through its accredited Ambassadors or Ministers at Washington; or, where such representation at the Capital was lacking, as in the case of Greece, through its Consul-Genera] in this elty; while in addition, England, nearly ey- ery European country, China and Japan were represented by warships dispatched to these waters for the occasion. Tweniy States, more or less, Were repre- eented through their Governors, and Con- federate veterans, who were among the hardest fighters against the forces of Grant ‘@uring the war, marched shoulder to shoul.

The initial step in the parade was made almost on schedule time, and by 9:30 the Presidential party was on the move.

Cheers greeted the distinguished party as it moved through the decorated streets, the enthusiasm being s0 noteworthy that President McKinley's face was joyous and his hat was in a state of constant salute. Mrs. Grant and her family to the third generation were objects of special attention and the widow of the hero was visibly af- fected at the great demonstration. The visitors got a chance to see a million peo- ple. The unbroken wall of humanity, six Miles long, Was an wx img sight. The arrival of the official portion of the procession at the tomb was the signal for & most stupendous outburst of patriotic cheering from the 50,000 people in the grand Stands and on the lawns around the monu- ment and on Claremont Heights.

LONDON, April 27.—A dispatch received at one of the embassies here from Athens says that King George of Greece may at any moment be deposed or assassinated, and that the mob ts likely to take posses- sion of the city. The dispatch says that the worst is feared. A special, dispatch from Constantinople announces that the Sultan has recalled Oa- man Pasha in order to avoid embarrassing Edhem Pasha. A special dispatch from Athens says the Greek Minister of Marines has resigned, A special dispatch from Constantinople Says that a telegram has been there from Edhem Pasha, the Turkish com- of his army is on its way to Volo, the port of Thessaly, and that another division is en route to Trikkala. Another dispatch from Constantinople says the Turkish fleet has started for Sa- lonika, where a naval battle between the Greeks and the Turks is imminent. It is further reported that four Russian warships are within view at the entrance of the ‘Bosphorus. The Russian Embassy has a semaphore at Boyukdere, constantly exchanging signals with the Russian ships. Special telegrams received here during the afternoon from Salonika say that the great- est excitement prevails there on the report that five Greek tronclads, thirteen smaller Greck warships and torpedo boats, accom- panied by two Greek transports, have been sighted sixty miles from that port. The Turkish authorities, the dispatch further announces, are preparing to resist an at- tack of the Greek fleet. ATHENS, April 27.—an extraordinary ses- sion of the Boule, or Legislative Assembly, has been called for this afternoon. The dif- ferent leaders of the opposition have been called to the palace. Great excitement continues to prevail here. M. Ralli, the opposition leader, and other prominent deputies have been sum- moned to meet the King at 2:30 this after- noon. M. Ralli, in conversation with the cor- respondent of the Associated Press this afternoon, said: “I cannot express an opinion as to the future or regarding what should be done. I only know the state of affairs in Thessaly, where the whole army is intact,” EDHEM PASHA’S PLANS. He May Occupy Volo and the Import- ant Town of Trikkala. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 27.—The suce cesses of the Turkish troops in Thessaly have caused the greatest satisfaction in mil+. itary circles here. It 1s now belleved that Edhem Pasha will occupy the port of Vole and the important town of Trikkala, almost due west of Larissa ana aoout forty miles from that place, with the view of strength- ening hia position. The Turkish Govern- ment will then call upon Greece to evacUe ate the Island of Crete on the condition that the Ottoman troups are withdrawa from Thessaly. After the occupation of Trikkala by t?

The strength must be built up by pure blood, and the nerves must also find in pure blood the proper nerve food. For this purpose nothing equals Hood's Sarsaparilla.

St. Louis Merchants Present Their Case to the Interstate Commerce | Commission. Col. William R. Morrison, Chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission, is hear- ing testimony in the protest of the St. Louis Business Men's League as to freight rates to Texas points on less than car load lots. Commissioners Yeoman and Prouty, who came to St. Louis with Col. Morrison, left Monday night for the East, Col. Morrison remaining to transact the unfinished busi- ness of the commission. The testimony in the grievance of Kansas shippers was concluded at 11 o’clock Tues- day morning and the St. Louis case was taken up immediately thereafter. The busi- ness men are represented by H. L. Christie. Martin Clardy and other railroad attor- neys are present fo the defense. The first witness for the St. Louis busi- ness men was H. 8. Wilson, a Cleburne, He testified that he sells at retail and by reason of the fact that freight rates on less than car load Iots are | proportionately s0 much higher than on whole cars the retail dealer is compelled to carry a larger stock than he needs, In order that he may avoid paying the exhorbitant rates, “For a retail merchant to overstock means financial disaster,”’ Mr. Wilson said. “Yet the less than car load rates meant As a consequence, the Texas retailer must either overstock, if he deals with St. Louis jobbers, or buy from jobbing houses in Dallas and other may be less by reason of the distance saved. That would be well enough from the retailer’s standpoint, but for the fact that he buys cheaper in St. Louis. Mr. Wilson was positiye that the rates for less than carloads were unjust. In some instances there is a differential of 60 cents per hundred pounds, he said. George H. Holland, vice-president of the Bridge & Beach Manufacturing Co., St. Louis, gave complete testimony showing the evil effects of the system of rates. ‘“‘Under the present adjustment,” said Mr. Holland, ‘‘we sell a carload of goods to a Texas merchant, when, as a matter of fact, he probably needs onl¥ half a carload. The result is that in many instances .we lose money. The Texas retailer can hardly af- ford to buy from us in less than carload lots, owing to the stiff difference in rates. Within the last few years we have lost con- siderable money in Texas on this account. We have been obliged to carry our cus- tomers from one year to another by reason of their having too large a gatock. It in- creases their liabilities, and they lose mon- ey, because they take more chances in ge!l}- ing than they would were they not over- stocked. “If the rates are changed, as we ask, we | were destroyed, and this is partially cov- SHIPS BURNED, Fire at Newport News, Destroying Three Vessels, Two Piers and Injuring Several Persons. NEWPORT NDWS, Va., April 27.—Fire broke out this morning at the wharf and ,destroyed two coastwise merchandise piers with their contents, three vessels and one tug boat, entailing a total loss of about $2,500, 000. The fire originated in pier 56 about 4 o’clock, and before the alarm was sounded the entire building was in flames. A number of persons were injured, and it is thought several lives were lost. It is im- possible to ascertain the facts at this hour, as t firemen are still engaged in fight- ing the flames. Some of the injured: Capt. Krelite of the German ship J. D. Bischoff; Capt. Bulman of the British steamship Clintonia; Capt. Roper of the tugboat Wanderer, all of whom were badly burned in attempting to escape from their ships. Three vessels were entirely destroyed, to- gether with partial cargoes. They are the British steamer Clintonia, Norwegian steamer Solveig and German full-rigged sailing ship J. D. Bischoff. The first two have been towed out into the stream and are now burning. The Bischoff is lying near the smoldering embers of pier 6, in a mass of flames. The loss on the ship alone is estimated to be at least $600,000, partially covered by insurance, Over $1,000,000 worth of grain and mer- chandise were stored in the two piers which ered by insurance. By hard work the huge grain elevator was saved. The fire is still raging, but there is no dan- ger of it spreading, unless the wind shifts. The origin of the fire is unknown, UNION LEAGUE BANQUET.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 27.—Represen- tative Cochran says the Humphrey bills cannot be taken up. He says he means to use all his influence to keep them just .where they now are until the end of the session. They are on the order of Senate bills on first reading on the House calendar, and it requires a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules to get them under consideration. It is doubtful if there are enough votes to ad- vance the measures if they could be got up. But the foes of these fraudulent bills which were pushed through the Senate by a pow- erful lobby and tangible argument, will ght them to the death. The bills are osing friends.

While these fellows have not nerve enough in their make up to come up in an open, fair fight, they are now seeking to pass legislation that will serve to orem criticism on their ne- s methods. 5 ty Bore started the ball rolling in the House Monday by calling up his bill which has for a title the misnomer: ‘A bill to rohibit the printing, posting and distribu- ion of any libelous circular.” “This bill,” said Mr. La Monte in an In- terview, “will have the effect of prohibiting the posting of bills such as are now being posted in Chicago libeling certain members of the Senate. It is my purpose to push the bill with all possible speed, and when it comes up on second reading I shall en- deavor to have an emergency clause at- tached to it: So far as I have been able to ascertain the sentiment of members I think the bill will be passed beyond any oubt.” esrollowing is the text of the bill: “That whosoever writes, prints, posts or distributes, or causes to be written, printed, posted or distributed, a circular or poster, cartoon or other written or printed paper which ts designed or tends to injure or defeat any candidate for nomination or election to public office, by reflecting upon his personal char- acter or political actions, unless there appears upon such circular, poster or paper, in a conspicuous place, either the names of the chairman and secretary, or at least the name of two officers of the political or other organization issu- ing the same, or the name of some duly registered elector with description of his election district, as responsible therefor, shall be punished by fine not exceeding $100, or by imprisonment in jail not exceeding six months or both, and if the statements are untrue the pereon #0 offending shal! also be deemed uilty of: libel and may be prosecuted n the Civil or Criminal Courts or both therefor.”’ There were no objections offered to the bill for the reason that fights are almost invariably made on bills on second pone The course of the House on this bill will be watched with a great deal of interest as a vote on it will, in a measure, be indi- cative of the strength of the Humphrey bills. La Monte will make an effort to call up the bill this week and no doubt a vote will be taken. rn NEW LIBEL BILL. Genator Humphrey and His Gang Are | Behind It. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFITLD, I1l., April 27.—Senator Humphrey arrived here this morning armed with a new libel bill. The bill is backed by the gang who rushed the infamous Hum- phrey bill through the Senate, and it will likely go through. Lundin has a bill before the Committee on Judicial Department and Practice repealing the libel law, and it was decided to call a meeting of this committee and substitute the Humphrey bill for the Lundin measure and pass it out. Chairman Hamilton at once called a meeting of the committee for this afternoon. The bill is said to resemble the Pennsy!l- vania law. It provides that if any person shall write, print or publish or exhibit any malicious or defamatory kbel tending either to blacken the memory of one who is dead, or the reputation of one who is alive, expos- —~ him to ridicule, such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon con- Vietion be liable to a fine not exceeding $1 000 and imprisonment not to exceed 12 months. The bill further provides that any person who se aang 4 transmits to any publisher or publication libellous statements, securing its Publication, shall be lable to a fine of not exceeding $500, and imprisonment not to exceed two years. The Judicial Practice Committee has a clear majority of those who favored the Humphrey bills, and as they are wincing under the roasts administered by the press, there is no question that the Humphrey libe! bill will be on the calendar to-morrow. The Senate advanced to third reading Crawford's bill appropriating $50,000 for I)- inols participation in the Trans-Mississippl xposition, to be held at Omaha. Senate Bills Passed. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., April 27.—The Senate = sed the House bill appropriating about ,000 to cover deficiencies existing in the expenses of the penitentiary in Chester. Munroe’s bill authorizing manufacturing companies to hold capital stock of rail- roads connecting different plants of such companies and with other railroads and harbers, also passed. Torrens Bill Passed. SPRINGFIELD, I., April 27.~The House this morning passed with the emergency Clause the Senate Torrens land title bill.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 27.—Repre- sentative Hammers called up his free text book bill in the House under suspension of rules. Murray, chairman of the Committee on Education, offered an amendment em- bodying the minority report by the com. mittee, and after a hot debate it was knocked out. The bill was then amended by striking out the part providing for free text books. This leaves the bill providing only for uniformity. The board created to select text books to be used, consists of State Superintendent of Public Instruction. President of State University. Regents of Normal schools and Superintendents of the Chicago city schools. Hogging Public Money. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, IIL, April 27.—Repub- licans in the House championed Merriam's bill repealing the law passed by the Demo- cratic Legislature in 1893, authorizing cus- todians of public money to loan it and cover a certain per cent to the State or county. Alschuler, on the Democratic side, said that the law as it now stands brings thousands of.dollars back to the taxpayers that otherwise would be placed in the pockets of custodians of public money. The object of the bill is to allow the State Treasurer to loan the State’s money and keep the interest. The Dill passed by a vote of 77 ayes and 67 nays. Two Judicial Conventions. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 27.—Owing to the uncertainty as t® when the recent act changing the judicial circuits will take effect, it has been decided to hold conven- tions for both the old Fifth Circuit and the new Seventh Circuit, in which Sangamon County is situated. The convention for the old circuit will be held May 3 at Pana and for the new circuit at Springfield, May 3. Reapportionment Bills. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Il., April 27.—Before the week is over the Senatorial and the Con- gressional reappointment bills will be introduced in both houses. Cochran, Chairman of the House Committee on Senatorial Apportionment, says that the bills are almost completed and that the sub-committees will be ready to report shortly. Valued Policy Bill. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ? SPRINGFIELD, IIl., April 27.—The val- ued policy bill was sent to second reading in the ouse. This is the measure that Nohe has been juggling with all session and it has been recommitted to the Committee on Insurance once at his request. It now has a clause attached which has escaped the scrutiny of those who are opposing it. If passed it will prevent the formation of underwriters’ associations. CASHIER HAYS NOT AT HIS DESK. POST-OFFICE INSPECTORS EXAM- INING HIS ACCOUNTS. NO ONE WILL TALK ABOUT IT. If a Shortage Exists the Fact Is Being Kept a Secret by the Officials. Post-office Inspectors have been at work on the books of Cashier David H. Hays for several weeks, under a general order, is- sued last November, for an inspection of all Presidential Post-offices. This order is is- sued at the close of each administrattion. The last one was made at the St. Louis Post-office in the spring of 1893. The St. Louls Post-office is the last one in Inspector Jos. Johnson's district to be in- spected. Whether the present inspection has disclosed a shortage Inspector Johnson re- fuses to state. Posimaster Carlisle is equal- ly reticent, and the employes of the office, especially Assistant Cashier Austin, are carefuly concealing any information they may have. Mr. Austin is apparently fliling the post of Cashier Hays, who has been absent since last Saturday. Postmaster Carlisle that Mr. Hays sent Mrs. Hays to his office Monday morning to report him too sick to attend to his duties. Post Office Inspector Johnson stated that the inspection was not completed, and ibat when it was he would renort the result to headquarters at Washington. He refused | to deny the existence of a shortage or to! admit that discrepancies had been discov- ered. He said that reports are expected from the Auditor’s office at Washington regnrding the accounts, a partial report having been received Tuesday. Mr. Johnson stated. purely as a hypothecal case, that frequently an apparent shortage was explained by the reports of the Auditor, which might show that stamps and other monetary equiva- lents charged against an office and not in sight. had not yet reached the office. This was possible, because the post offices were charged with the supplies as soon as the order was issued at Wahington for them to be forwarded. On account of the ab- | sence of two of the inspectors on other cases the inspection is not proceeding at present. Cashier Hays is at his home, ‘.10t so il] that he cannot see callers, but he positively refuses to talk to newspaper men. ; JAMES, CRAIG’S WILL. The Fight on It Formally Begun by the Son. | William John Craig filed a petition with | the Circuit Clerk Tuesday morning asking . that the will of his father, James Craig, be | set aside, and all of the property disposed | of by that instrument be vested in him and | his mother, Margaret Craig,who, he claims, are the only legal heirs. Cra‘g’s petition is very brief, setting forth first that his mother, Margaret Craiz., | is the widow of James Craig, deceased, and that he, William Jotn Craig, is the only lawful descendant of James Craig. The will in full ts then set forth in the petition, with the statement that when it was made James Craig was an old man of unsound mind and was unduly influenced by his two daughters, with whom he was at the time living. patch.

WITH AN ARMY OF 3,000 MEN. At the Same Time Gomez Will Har- ass the Spaniards in San- ta Clara. a Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 27.—A big battle in Pinar del Rio Province is expected. Advices from Havana to the Sun are to the effect that Gen. Rodriguez is marching to invade the province with 3,000 men. He was be- tween Batabano and Guines, near a mili- tary line made there by the Spaniards to prevent his invasion of the western prov- ince, Rodriguez is acting under orders from Gomez to make the war lively tn the west of the island, while he harasses the strong Spanish columns in Santa Clara Province. Another strong body of insurgents under Gen. Alejandro Rodriguez is also moving to the west, in order to protect the advance of Gen. Maylia Rodriguez to Pinar del Rio. The Spanish army in this latter province has been deprived of 20,000 men, who have been sent to Las Villas by order of Weyler. Fifty persons died yesterday from hunger in Sancti Spiritus and forty in Cardenas. In the latter place public sentiment was aroused by the fact that a woman was found dead in the street with a baby of 2 months in her arms. Both had died of star- vation. Commenting on the depreciated currency in Cuba, a correspondent of the Journal says: Rome repudiates Weyler’s depreciated paper currency by refusing, through the Bishop of Havana and the parish priests, to accept the new ‘“‘shinplasters” in pay- ment for baptismal and marriage cere- monies or burial permits, and also when of- fered by the Government in payment of their salaries. Even masses must now be paid for in gold, the church apparently having, like the Cubans, lost all confidence in Spanish promises to pay. A furtheg issue of the currency is being arranged for, and it is said that there is not a dollar of col- lateral for it. ZACHRITZ INTERESTED. Takes Upon Himself the Prosecution of Harry Niemeyer. Judge Zachritz used his influence Tuesday morning to have a State warrant issued for a disturbance of the peace. These minor cases are usually referred to the Police Court, but Judge Zachritz asked that this case be handled by the State. He brought Mrs. Lena Niemeyer to the warrant office and her husband, Harry Nie- meyer, was charged with disturbing her peace. Four years ago he shot her over the eye and two years ago he stabbed her over tne other eye. Both of those incidents were ex- ploited in the newspapers. She says he left her three months ago and went to live at 2901 South Broadway. Last Saturday night Niemeyer came to her home at 170 Dorcas street and after break- ing in the door chased her around the house until she escaped through a window. Neighbors brought the matter to-the at- tention of Judge Zachritz and after making a personal investigation the Judge asked Col. Johnson to issue a State warrant for Niemeyer. The warrant was placed in the hands of a Deputy Sheriff to serve. TEMPLE HOUSTON A VISITOR. Oklahoma Politician and Historian Visits St. Louis. Temple Houston, son of the late Texas hero, is in St. Louis, registered at the Lin- dell. He arrived in St. Louis Tuesday morn- ing from his home at Woodward, Oklahoma. Aside from the fame that comes to him by reason of his name, Temple Houston has made much notoriety for himself. He is a manufacturer of history of the Oklahoma and Texas variety—hardy, pioneer history. He is somewhat prominent in politics and attracted much attention at the Chicago convention last year. On that occasion he was observed and talked about in an in- teresting manner by every delegation on the floor. Immediately after breakfast this mornin the Oklahoman sauntered out of the hote and strolled about the city. He will prob- ably remain here two or three days. NEW SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. It Will Start With Money, Taient and Fashion to Back It. A St. Louis symphony orchestra that will rival the noted musical organizations of this country has been agreed upon and $15,- 000 will be immediately raised to secure the city’s best talent. The sixty-five musicians will be paid union wages and will be re- quired to attend every rehearsal. It Is hardly probable other than St. Louis play- ers will be engaged. Some of the best mu- siclans in the country are playing in local theaters, and it is thought these can be secured for the new organization. Mr. Al- fred Ernst will be the leader. The work thus far has been the work of ladies. among whom were: Mrs. Green, President of the Choral Symphony Society; Mrs. Mary W. McKiitrick, Mrs. Robert Mc- Kittrick Jones, Mrs. Amiel Glogan, Mrs, Biebinger, Mrs. Thomas Niedringhaus, Mrs, Oscar Herf, Mrs. John Schroers, Mrs. Charles Taussig, Mrs. Daniel Catlin, Mrs, Louls P. Aloe, Mrs. Otto Mersman, Mrs. Julius Abeles,, Mrs. Charles F. Bates, Mrs. Louis Chauvenet, Miss Christine Spengier, Miss Lionberger. At a meeting at Mary Institute Saturday nine committees wil! be appointed and their work assigned. The most astonishing results in healing wounds have been shown by Salvation Oil. RECONSTRUCTION OF STREETS. Board of Public Improvements An- nounces Two Public Hearings. The Board of Public Improvements Tues- 'day announced two public hearings on peti- | tions to reconstruct streets. The most important ts Lindell boulevard from its junction with Olive street at Chan- ning avenue to King’s highway. tion Is numerously signed. If the improve- ment is made the property owners will pay all the expense. Street Commissioner Milner fs much. in favor of paving the street, and has been quietly encouraging the property owners to ask for it. The main objection to it in its present shape is the enormous amount it takes to keep the surface in good condition. May 18 the hearing will include Wash. ington, from Grand to Taylor; Twentieth, from Mallinckrodt to Grand; Jefferson, from Market to Washington, and Arsenal, from Broadway to Thirteenth. May 21, the streets w.il be Jefferson, from Washington to Cass; Cass, from Hogan to Twenty-second; Cass, from Jefferson to Grand: Compton, from Manchester to Mor- gan; Teresa, from Laclede to Morgan: Lin- dell, from Channing to King’s highway; Grand, from Lafayette to Chouteau; Man- chester, from Compton to Grand; Wash. from Fourth to Sixth: and Twelfth, from Market to St. Charles.

STATE ASSOCIATION MEETING. Several Hundred Pastors and Lay Del- egates Are Attending the Sessions. pastors and delegates from Congregational Churches through- out the State convened here Tues- day for a _ three-days’ session of the twenty-third anniversary meeting of the Congregational Association of Missouri. The meeting was held in Compton Hill Congre- gational Church, and the Missoun branch of the Woman's Board of the Interior and the Woman’s Missionary Union of Missouri are also in session there. Much of the time before 10 o’clock, the hour of convening, was taken up with the registration of out-of-town pastors and del- egates and the assignment of them to dif- ferent homes for entertainment during the convention. Rev. Dr. R. M. Sargent of St. Louis called the first session to order and the State As- sociation joined with the Woman’s Board in devotional exercises under his leader- ship. Executive sessions of the three bodies fol- lowed at which routine business of a prelim- inary nature was transacted. Rev. J. W. Sutherland, D. D., pastor of Webster Groves Congregational Church and Moderator,called the business sesion of the State association to order. The roll was made up and read, showing the largest at- tendance of any State association for many years. The association then organized by elect- ing Mr. W. B. Homer, a prominent lawyer and member of the Central Congregational Church of this city, Moderator for the en- suing year. Rev. W. M. Van Fleet, pastor of the De Soto (Mo.) Congregational Church, was made Scribe for this meeting, with Rev. P. Pinch of Springfield, Mo., as assistant. Rev. E. E. Wheeler, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer of this city, and permanent secretary, presented his annual report. It showed that the Missouri Association has ninety-six ministers, both active and in- active, on the rolls. Seven of these are li- centiates. In the State are eighty Congre- gational Church organizations, with a mem- bership of 9,462. The Sunday-schools report a membership of 11,626. During the year there has been a gain of nine ministers and a gain of 237 in church membership. In contrast with a loss of 2.306 in the Sunday-school membership in 189%, the past year shows a gain of 9809. Benevolences have fallen off $10,090 for the year, while home expenditures increased $19, 802. i The report of the Treasurer and Auditing Committee, who asked for further time gave way to the Committee on Ministerial Aid, which reported that two pastors had been given relief from a somewhat limited fund. Dr. Bushnell of St. Joseph, the chairman of the committee, who was unable to be present, expressed the hope in his re- port that the churches would contribute more liberally to this work. The Committee on Necrology reported the death at Kansas City of Rev. Wm. Sewall and Rev. Dr. R. M. Sargeant .priefly oulo- gized his I'fe and work. Rev. Dr. Burnham read a communication from Chicago, suggesting the methods of proceedure in organizing State foreign mis- sionary societies to co-operate with the American Board of Commissioners of For- eign Missions, The constitution of the pro- posed society was also read, and it was de- cided to appoint a committee to organize such a body and report at _a later session.

WELL KNOWN IN THE WEST END Lives on West Pine Boulevard and Is One of the Most Stylish Women in St. Louis. The front windows of the pretty little home at 3710 West Pine boulevard have been placarded with “‘For Rent” signs and ‘“‘Auc- tion Sale’’ notices for two weeks. Neighbors were busy speculating what it was all about, until they opened their news- papers Tuesday morning and saw that Anna J. Sohns had filed suit for divorce against her husband, John A. Sohns, alleging ill temper and non-support. Then the mystery was partially cleared up. The undiscovered circumstance was why, although Mrs. Sohns stated in her petition that she had left her husband April 1, they were still living together jn the same house. Mrs. Sohngs says that is due to her ex- “IT have been let- ting him live in my house for eleven years,”’ she said Tuesday. ‘‘He can stay as iong as I do. Every thing will be sold out Thurs- day. Then I will go back to my mother's and Mr. Sohns will have the unusual sensa- tion of looking after himself.” Mrs. Sohns fs widely known in St. Louts. She is a plump little woman, a stylish dresser, a persistent matinee goer and fond of doing ‘“‘the ladies’ half mile,’ as the promenade on Olive and Broadway from Barr’s to Vandervort’s is called by the chappies. Her sister, Miss Lilly Reckinger, quite as pretty and natty looking, is her con- stant companion. The sisters are quite well known to all whom business or pleasure brin to the down town promenade on bright afternoons. Mrs. Sohns is the eldest daughter of old Nicholas Reckinger, who made a fortune out of a shoe store on Morgan and Sixth streets. Two decades ago he retired and doubled his money over and over again by fortunate investments in rea] estate. He is still living and is 72 years old, Eleven years ago his eldest daughter, Miss Anna, married John A. Sohns, a gro- ceryman. Mr. Reckinger gave his daughter her por- tion of his estate. She built a handsome home on West Pine boulevard, furnished it elegantly and prepared to enjoy the de- lights of domesticity. Her dream was shortlived, she says. Ex- plaining the causes that led up to the di- vorce proceedings, Mrs. Sohns saidg “I have alleged ill-temper in every petition. That was putting it mildly. The real reasons are incompatibility and non-support. My hus- band and I cannot get along together. I BICYCLES FOR PARK “GOPPERS. CAPT. REYNOLDS’ MEN WANT THE SILENT STEED. THEIR HORSES ARE TOO SLOW. Could Cover Twelve Miles an Hour on Bikes and Come Unobserved on Wrong-Doers. The park patrolmen of Capt. Reynolds’ mounted district, think it time the bicycle should supplant the horse in their territory. Horses are all right in the country, they say, and in winter and wet weather, but the thing for summer is the bicycle. Not a few of the Captain’s men own wheels, and some are the proud possessors of cen- tury run trophies. These claim to have the sympathy of an influential member of the Board, who at an early date promises to 36-inch Per- cale,suitable for Men’s Shirt- ing. wores 10c a yard, hie Mozambique ina Spring Shades— value for 50c per hag page pecia e Price 0990000000000 09 900008 00 eee Burlington ' ve : Bs " _ —_—_——_ > KansasCity t ” - y @ have the commissioners consider the mat- ter.

During the week ten policemen are on duty in Forest Park. Sunday the force is increased to fifteen men. Tower Grove has three officers and O’Fallon two.

On bicycles the men think they could get over more ground in less time than with horses, and the better service rendered would in the end pay the city for the ex- tra financial outlay.

H. O. Havemeyer and John E. Searles, millionaires of the Sugar Trust, are in the the sacne boat with Chapman. They, to- gether with some brokers and newspaper correspondents, also refused to tell what they knew about Senators using their knowledge of the schedules of the Wilson bill before publication to make money by speculation in Wall street. Of course, it is a matter of no consequence whether the brokers and correspondents go to jail or not, but the shock to the American public of seeing a millionaire, and a trust million- aire at that, gazing at them from the wrong side of a barred window, would be tre- mendous, if not insupportable. The British public would not be more amazed, more certain to feel the foundations of Christian civilization were crumbling, should His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales be run in and given thirty days.

Mr. Cleveland will never again be the nominee of any party for anything. The people are done with him. All he can do is to prevent the repentance and regeneration of those Democrats who made the mistake of attaching themselves to his schemes and fortunes, and who have gone so far in as- sociation with his iniquity that they cannot retrace their steps. Mr. Cleveland will have these and the sycophants who have no prin- ciples. The Republicans have accepted his treacherous aid, but they despise him as heartily ag honest Democrats do. Some men may have been ceceived. Some may have attached themselves to the Cleveland person through a mistaken idea of personal fidelity. Some are truly sorry that they joined the bolters. The lamp holds out to burn for them. But those who still choose to make their beds with the man who, after being elevated to the highest rank by the Democratic party, has maligned it and de- serted it, have no right to complain if they are excommunicated. They are the vic- tims of the inordinate selfishness of Mr. Cleveland, who would not release them from their bondage in time for them to get into good company in either party.

Kerens and Maj. William Warner of Kansas City have parted company. The cause of the difference between the two anti-Filley leaders in the State is Webster Davis of Kansas City. Maj. Warner came here soon after inauguration to tel] Col. Kerens that Davis should not be recognized. Kerens told him that if Davis failed to get & good place it would be because he, Ker- ens, could not get it for him. Davis is to be First Assistant Secretary of the Interior and there’s a breach between Kerens and Warner. Col. Kerens is playing a b game. He has been placed in control © the Federal pevone in St Louls. Jointly with Maj. Bittinger he defeated the Filleyites in St. Louis. That leaves only Kansas City to be conquered to g.ve him the federal patronage machine in the three largest cities of the State. He wants to eliminate Maj. Warner tn Kansas City as he thinks he has eliminated the “oid man’’ in St. Louis. Webster Davis is be- ing used for that purpose. NED GREEN’S NEW HAT. It Took Time to Get Exactly What He Wanted. Hetty Green's son, Ned, was tn St. Louls Monday night en route from Washington and New York to his home in Texas. The most interesting feature of Mr. Green's short stay in St. Louls was the buying of a straw hat. No female shopper with plenty of time to spare ever canvassed the stores with great- er precision. As a general rule r. Green is easily suited in the matter of wearing apparel, ‘because he usually knows just what he wants before he starts to buy. But fn the purchase of his straw hat he established a precedent by visiting a dozen different hat stores. Nothing suited him at first. One reason was that there ts nothing small about Mr. n’s h ; He wears a 7%, and even that must be stretched. And then the color and fiber of the straw had something to do with it. Unlike his economical mother, Ned wanted something up-to-date and of the finest quarty. Sev- eral times he found exactly what he want- ed but the sizes range from 7% lower. So they lacked eternal fitness. . At last after diligent search, a purchase was made. The hat ig a fine one and the style is peculiarly adapted to a man of Mr. Green's make-up. he cranial canopy is made of double thick straw, white as alabaster. The comparatively narrow rim is slightly bound with black cloth and the band is of the same material. “St. uls is not a straw town and that is probably the reason why it took me so long to find a straw hat said Mr. Green to a reporter. “What kind of a time did you have in Washington?’ the reporter asked. “Just tell them that you saw me and I was looking well,’’ replied Mr. Green. He excused himself from talking politics on the plea that his train was almost, due to start with him for Texas. He said his stop in St. Louis had nothing to do with the meeting of the Inter-State Commerce Commission. a FURNITURE FACTORY BLAZE. $8,000 Damage Wrought by the Flames in Half an Hour. The Prange Furniture Factory, 3410 North Eleventh street, was damaged by fire Tues- day morning to the amount of $8,000. The fire started in the boiler room in the rear of the factory and in less than half an hour had destroyed the building over the boiler and engines. Prompt work os the Fire Department saved a whole block of old and inflammable buildings imme- diately adjoining the factory. How the main building of the factory escaped destruction is marvelous, not ten feet away from the boiler house where iron beams and shafts were twisted by the hea were piles of saw dust, shavings and sma! pieces of furniture stock in large quanti- ties. A delay of five minutes or a_ mistake would have given the whole building over to the flames and nothing could have stopped it. As it happened the main factory was only damaged by water and smoke. Quantities of partially set up furnit was damaged and a good deal of fine ha wood was spoiled by water and smoke. Several of the finer machines for cutting arts of furniture were more or less in- ured by the fire and it will be necessary to put new parts in some of them.

White Stockings Jumped on Hutchin- son and Pounded Safe Ones All Over the Lot, A fat man with a turkey-red face and wide sky-biue veins gridironing his bulbous nose, hat on the back of his head and coat thrown over his arm, waddied down to a front seat in the grand stand at Sports- man's Park Monday. He looked at the Chicagos and the Browns scampering around the field in preliminary practice, and every play be noted with the eye of a con- firmed rooter. “T have been warned by my doctor,” he finally observed in a loud voice so every- body ceuld hear him, “not to tamper with liquor in any form while I was experiencing excitement. Therefore, I shall not touch the red stuff so long as this is a close game. I perceive that Willy Hutchinson, mamma's baby buy, is golng to twist curves for my friend Von der Ahe to-day, and I'm already nervous, but I dare not drink. But,” and the red-faced man looked around impres- sively, “I intend, in case those muscle- freighted hoboes from the West Side in Chicago fall upon our Willy too lively, to go down stairs and ‘h’ist in a slug of booze every time they make a hit or taily a run.” Then the fat one subsided. During the Chicago half of the first inning his face ecame pale and his lips purple. “Oh, rd.” he groaned. ‘I’m dyin’ fora snifter and I'm not going to get one. Willy is pitching too good ball.”’ : When the Browns went to bat the fat man relaxed a bit and smiled. In a few minutes, when Douglas, who had reached first on balls, was awakened from a sweet dream of the cows in clover out on the dear old farm in Wellsville, Mo., by being thrown out by Callahan, the fat man’s vision of a drink faded again. * * * In the first half of the ninth in- ning the fat man was found doing a ghost dance on the tan bark under the grand- Rte, La. new * ‘ Hu eee a ole Co : nd of are strongly suggestive of the ol tive whi is to be smashed into flinders somewhere around St. Louis within a week or two in an effort to satisfy the morbid who want to know what a genuine collision is like. Anse lumbers about just like an old engine. It was comical to watch his antics in fielding balls when standing away from the plate. On account of the race track the back stop is built obliquely. Catchers like Mur- phy and McFarland, who know the angle, eave themselves much work by standing to the right of the plate and catching the ball as it caroms off the standing boards. But Anson, with all his knowledge of the bill- iard cushions, could not gauge the rebounds and he fairly plowed the ground trying to head off the crooked bounders. The Post-Dispatch sporting extra Monday told the game in detail, so itis unnecessary to give the tabulated score again. The one nretty play made by St. Louis was .n the sixth inning. Ryan was on third, Deck- er on second and Pfeffer on first. Two men were out, but Chicago seemed sure of another run. Callahan sent a singer down the grass .toward left center field, and Moses Montefiore Cross closed in on it. Picking it up gracefully on the run he shot it in to Morgan Murphy, and Ryan died at home. Murphy and Cross also worked an old schoolboy trick in the eighth inning. Thorn- ton was on third and a White Stocking on first. The man on first started for second and Murphy, as if to throw to Bierbauer, slammed the ball at Cross, who had run in just back of the pitcher. Thornton was fooled into thinking the ball had been sent on a long journey and broke for home. Cross returned the bal] to Murphy and Thornton was an easy out. Three tie games were played in the League Monday. Pittsburg and the untamed Colo- nels eS for twelve innings without a victory; ew York and Washington went out the nine with no result, and the Phillies and Beaneaters quit even after nine in- nings. These tie games and the Cincinnati's easy defeat of the Clevelands makes no change in the positions of the clubs par- ticipating. The only rearrangement in the percentage list is Baltimore, which falls to serond place, with Brooklyn with three clubs tied for first. The games Tuesday and Wednesday will most likely cause a genera] shaking up. Standing of the clubs follows: COMISKEY BUYS TACKS. The Base Ball Jack-of-Trades Pitch for St. Paul. Charlie Comiskey, who since he has been a St. Paul base ball magnate indignantly denies the insinuation that he hag seen better days, showed what he had come to Will stand. “‘Wee-ee-ough-wow-yow,”’ he shrieked. “Set ‘em up all round, Misser Barkeep, an’ give sheese sanwishes to everybody wants ‘em. Did’n’ want t’ get) eiss zhag, but m’ frien” Chrizz vonner Ahe zghus mayme. Put in po’ pisher, got rattled, y’ know, hadder dink. fas feelin’ funny when As’n bunted ball In fifth and let Cally Cally, Cally whatsyname score. Awful drunk now. Muzzer had smany as twenty- five high balls. Too drunk t' go home now. Goin’ t ‘sleep in Turkishbath. Hope t’ be here t’marr. Gotter win then.” Kind friends gently bundled the fat man into a stake wagon when the last Chicago run was made and started with him slowly towards town. He was limp and speechless. He had just strengih envugh left to stand by his word and “hist in’’ one when Big Bill Lange jabbed the ball savagely in the last inning. As the stake wagon with its double load turned into Grand avenue it told forcibly the story of the game. A wee nippie taken for every hit and run made by the Ch'icagos would have laid fiat the most notorious tank in ‘all Kentucky. An- other game under the same conditions would mean tablespoonful of whisky every three hours, a darkened room and a doctor with his merry little hypodermic syringe. A third game of the same sort would simply mean the Keeley institute in a hurry. It must not be understood that the An- eonian sluggers had the mine all on their side. The Browns did a little batting themselves, but it came at the wrong times. High flies to the outfield were in profusion, and the bagse-running and sacrifice-hitting Was anything else but of the first grade. Hutchinson gave seven men bases on balls and seemed to lose heart after the fourth inning, sending in easy ones which. were met fairl with a bat In almost every in- Kciesinger was substituted in tne eighth, and he, too, Was in ginger-like fashion. Fully 1,600 spectators were in the grand stand and bleachers, and, barring a hand- ful of Chicago rooters and two or three sporting writers accompanying the White Stockings, everyone wanted to see the Browns win. It was, then, with genuine regret they beheld the free hitting of Hutch- inson's delivery in the first four innings, for they remembered forcibly what Walter Wilmot said of Hutch when it was decided that player should come to St. Louis. ‘‘He is a first-rater so long as he’s with a win- ning team,"’ declared Wilmot, “but when luck goes against his nine he loses heart and just simply can’t pitch at all.”” Hutch verified this in the first Chicago game. He layed in but faint-heartetl manner after he White Stockings got a good lead, and the score was allowed to roll up bigger than it should have been. In this connection it is proper to say that Dowd did right in refusing to shift pitchers until the eighth inning. To a man like Hutchinson it would have been infinitely more discouraging to take him out of the box his first game before he'd been given even half a chance. The result would have been the same had Kissinger been substi- tuted in the fourth inning. The Chicagos roved they could work his puzzles easily mn the two innings he pitched, and they would probably have done the same if Hert, vans or sper had gonein. They had their atting clothes on. That’s all there is to it. The Post-Dispatch has seid from the first that Hutchinson atill had the goods left in him, for all his years retirement into slower company, and it sticks to the @- sertion. He merely went against, for his first opponehts, one of the heaviest hitting teams in the league, a team that is going to give plenty of leg-work to every other club in epite of the Rusies, the Nichols, Mercers, Taylors and Carseys. Anson has @ team of bali players who can bat their way well up “%o the first division and not epend upon their fielding ability at all. Hutchinson should not get sore on him- seif for losing that game. He can and will et do good work for the Browns. Just rive a ten-penny naj) in this, you fans and nockers.

WANTS THE FITZ-CHOYNSKI MILL San Francisco Club Out With an Offer of $13,000 for Twenty Rounds. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 27.—'‘Par- son’’ Davies will leave for the East to- night with his two winners, Jimmy Barry and Armstrong. They are to stop at both Salt Lake and Denver, where they will con- test with local pugilists. Davies said that night that a San Francisco club had offered $13,000 for a twenty round cuntest between Bob Fitzsimmons and Joe Choeynski. “This offer is in response to my cha!lenge to Fitzsimmons for a match for $5,000 a side,’’ said the Parson. “I am sorry that the San Francisco public did not have a chance to see Arm3trong properly tried cut. I have been treated with every consideiu- tion by the sporting people of San Fran- cisco and shall look ferward with pleasure to another visit in the future,” Joa Gans, the colove! pugilist matched to fight Gus Leonard before the Olympic Ath- letic Club, arrived from the Kast vester- day with his new manazer, Al King of San Francisco. Gans broke away from Herford on his own responsibiiity, but the Balti- morean is going to give the colored Jad some trouble. HALLOCK CODE IS IN FAVOR. Sportsmen in St. Louis Like the Pro- posed Game Law Reform. It is apparent that an effort is to be made by the leading sportsmen and natura}- ists in the United States to push a uniform system of game laws to enactment in the various legislative bodies. The work is be- ing performed in a systematic manner, and it is believed by the promoters that guc- cess is a question dependent only upon the assembling of the law-making powers. The coming convention of sportsmen in this city in June will take up the matter and especially consider the Hallock code, which at this tne appears to have tie most indorsements aS a measure to settle a question of considerable vexation hitherto. Briefly the Hallock code contemplates divid- ing the entire territory of the United States, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, into two divisions alon the line of the fortieth Parallel of latitude, or near it, for each or Which there shall* be uniform laws and uniform close time, the whole to be under the surveillance of wardens. he close time for the northern division will be from January 1 to September 1, and in the southern division from February 1 to tember 1, during which no shooting shall be allowed of any kind of game, ex- eppting that woodcock and shore birds of yo order “limicolae’ may be shot in oil st. e laws which are to dominate A be legislative enactments uniform in or) tne States and co-operate throughout. ; he plan has been submitted to several * the prominent local field shots and has S Cited considerable commendation. No de- dedly adverse opinions have been ex- pressed. and what negative ideas have ound utterance have been qualified by in- scheme Col. A. E.

Van Tyne, and it is beliewed that by the time the con- vention meets in June that the sentiment in its favor will be unanimous. Mr. W. W. Ellis, Executive Officer of the National Association, will open headquarters here in a few days. St. Louis Is Out of It. St. Louts will not be represented in the intercity relay race to be run next week in Chicago. W. P. Laing of the St. Louis Cy- cle Co., who had the task of selecting a team to represent this city, has decided not to send men to Chicago. This decision is not due to a lack of riders, but to certain events of recent occurrence which does not satisfy the St. Louis man that the game would be worth the candle. Sporting Notes. Who said Fritz Pfeffer was a sick man? Did you see the game he played Monday? Peter Maher’s easy victory over Steve O'Donnell in Philadelphia Monday night will send the Irishman’sastock way up in his coming fight with Sharkey. Col. M. Lewis Clark of Louisville, it is said, will be asked to take the presiding judgeship at the Fair Grounds this season. No. better selection could be made than Col. Clark. Everybody, whether in St. Louis, Chicago, where he used to preside, Louisville or Cincinneti, is unanimous on this. If invited it is to be hoped that Col. Clark will accept. The managers of Peter Maher and Tom Sharkey met representatives of a sporting club as yet unnamed, Monday, and accept- ed a proposition for a $10,000 mk to take place in the yrosnsty of New York City be- tween May 25 and June 10 next. The club, the name of which will be made public within two weeks, has posted a satisfactory forfeit, George Dixon gained a decision over Johnny Griffin in a twenty-round bout at 128 pounds at the Broadway Athletic Club Monday night. Griffin was trained to the hour, and the manner in which he took his punishment proved that he had done his best to get into perfect shape for the effort. Dixon outpointed him and landed . four blows to Griffin's one. In the last round Griffin landed a hard blow on Dixon’s body which matie George very careful, and he fought shy until the gong sounded. President Young of the National League thus defines an earned run under the ‘97 rules: ‘“‘An earned run is a run. that reaches home base without the aid of a fielding or battery error. A stolen base cannot cut any figure. Although there is no charge- able error, still someone is at fault in one of several ways which would not justify thescortngofafielding error. A base runner whomakesabase hit and is advanced a base hit by a successful sacrifice hit, is entitled to the credit of an earned run if he reaches home base before chances have been offered to retire his side. The section must be con- sidered intelligenhtly as a whole, and notin part, and admits of no other fair interpreta- TEN BADLY INJURED. Explosion in an Underground Railway Station in London. , LONDON, Pngland, April 27.—A tremen- dous explosion occurred in the underground railway at 6:30 o’clock last evening as a train, filled with men from the city, was making its usual stop at the Aldersgate Station. The glass roof of the station was blown out and the platform was strewn with debris. A first-class coach was completely wrecked. Ten of the injured were found to be in a precarious condition. A number of persons who were standing on the platform were also hurt. The explosion is believed to have been the result of an accumulation of gas, which be- came ignited in some way. Many persons, however, believe that the disaster was caused by the explosion of a bomb which had been placed in the station with the intention of wrecking it. and I think, be more satisfactory than the pres- | The Royal— White and Pure as the Driven Snow. —-— a ines!

After the prayer the chorus gave a hymn of thanks, and President McKinley was in- troduced. His reception was enthusiastic in the extreme. He spoke for some twenty minutes In his usual clear-cut style, laying stress upon the lessons to be learned from : a study of the life of the great command- ; er. Following is the President's address: THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH. ' ne a Re An Eloquent Tribute to Grant, the Sol- dier and Patriot. E* Fellow-Citizens: A great life, dedicated } to the welfare of the nation, here finds its } earthly coronation. Even if this day lacked the impressiveness of ceremony and was devoid of pageantry it would still be memorable because it is the anniversary of the birth of one of the most famous and best beloved of American soldiers. Architecture has paid high tribute to the leaders of mankind, but never was a me- morial more worthily bestowed or more gratefully accepted by a free people than the beautiful structure before which we are gathered. In marking the successful completion of this work we have as witnesses and par- ° ticipants representatives of all branches of our Government, the resident officials of foreign nations, the Governors of States and the sovereign people from every sec- tion of our common country who joined in this august tribute to the soldier, patriot and citizen. Almost twelve years have passed since the heroic vigil ended and the brave spirit of Ulysses 8S. Grant fearlessly took its flight. Lincoln and Stanton had preceded him, but of the mighty Captains of the war Grant was the first to be called. Sherman and Sheridan survived him, but have since Joined him on the other shore. The great heroes of the civil strife on Jland and sea are for the most part now no more. Thomas and Hancock, Logan. and McPherson, Farragut, Dupont and Porter, ; and a host of others have passed forever 4) from human sight. Those remaining grow dearer to us, and from them and the memory of those who have departed, generations yet unborn will draw their inspiration and gather strength for patriotic purpose. A great life never dies. Great deeds are imperishable; great names immortal. Gen, Grant's services and character will con- tinue undiminf®hed in influence and ad- vance in the estimation of mankind so long as liberty remains the corner stone of free government and integrity of life the guar- anty of good citizenship. ied Faithful and fearless as a volunteer sol- dier, intrepid and invincible as Commander- . in-Chief of the Armies of the Union, calm and confident as President of a reunited and strengthened nation which his genius had been instrumental! in achieving, he has our homage and that of the world, but bril- liant as was his public character, we love him all the more for his home life and homely virtues. Hts individuality, his bear- .| ing and speech, his simple ways, had a : ae ee oe ee ee = > - ~ me fiavor of rare and unique distinction, and his Americanism was so true and uncom- promising that his name wil)! stand for all time as the embodiment of liberty, loyalty and national unity. . Victorious. in the work which under di- ; ; vine providence he was called upon to do, clothed with almost limitless power, he Was yet one of the people—patient, patriot- Success did not disturb the even balance of his mind, while fame was powerless to swerve him from the path of duty. Great agp be was in war, he loved ic and just. | | peace, and told the world that honorable Le ere — arbitration of differences was the best hope of civilization. With Washington and Lin- colin, Grant has an exalted place in his- tory and the affections of the people. To- day his memory is held in equal esteem by those whom he led to victory and by those who accepted his generous terms of peace. The veteran leaders of the blue and gray meet not only to honor the name of the de- parted Grant, but to testify to the loving reality of a fraternal national spirit which has triumphed over the differences of the past and transcended the limitations of sectional lines. Its completion, which we pray God to speed, will be the nation’s Greatest glory. It is right then that Gen. have a memorial commensurate with his Rreatness and that his last resting place should be the city of his choice, to which he was so attached in life and of whose ties | he was not forgetful even in death. Fitting, Grant should too, is it that the great soldier should sleep beside the mighty river on whose banks he first learned the art of war. and of which he became master and leader without a Ee na i rival. 3 But let us not forget the glorious distinc- a tion with which the metropolis among the ) k fair sisterhood of American cities Ras hon- . b ored his life and memory. With all that riches and sculpture can do to render the edifice worthy of the man, upon a site un- surpassed for magnificence, has this monu- ment been reared by New York as a per- etual record of his illustrious deeds, in he certainty that as time passes around it will assemble with gratitude and reverence 7 and veneration men of all climes, races and nationalities. : New York holds In its keeping the pre- : cious dust of the silent soldier; but his : achievements—what he and his brave com- trades wrought for mankind—are in the 8 ___ __________. a — | > 7 > ‘ha ee a pot stand up long enough to wash In September I began takin Dr. ~ tles and it When m Se “S-ebGees d cold a She wheered all the time tiny a third of a bottle of 'G edical 4 aS ay is ~ GRANT'S LAST RESTING PLACE. ee fp , . oat. re of crime did not slay as matty heaien belane a he rt rg OF the bodies participating x as consumption kills in a single year.

The Grand Naval Division under Rear Admiral Bunce was formed in the North River. It consisted of the North Atlantic Fleet, U. S. S. New York (flagship), U. 8S. S. Massachusetts, U. S. S. Indiana, U. S. 8. Columbia, U. 8S. S. Maine, U. S. S. Texas, U. S. S. Raleigh, U. 8S. S. Puritan, U. S. 5S. Amphitrite, U. 8S. S. Terror.

Foreign Men-of-War—H. M. 8. Talbot, French Corvette Fulton, H. I. M. 8S. Do- gali, H. 8S. M. steamer Infanta Isabella, H. 5S. M. steamer Maria Teresa. There were fully ten thousand Union ani Confederate veterans in the old soldiezs’ division, while the civic grand division, which included patriotic societies, munici- pal brigades, etc., was about twelve thou- sand strong. On arriving at Riverside Park the parade surrounded the tomb, being re- viewed by President McKinley and distin- guished guests upon the platform with him. While the land parade was in progress the vessels composing the naval parade were making their way up the North River. The parade was in four grand divisions; the first division consisting of the North American squadron and foreign war ves- sels, the second of other naval vessels and those belonging to the United States Light- House Department, the third.of United States revenue cutters and other vessels and the fourth of vessels of the merchant marine. The ships formed their columns between Twenty-third and One, Hundred and Twenty-fifth streets and proceeded up the river to a point opposite the monumen), when they took up positions according to assignment. When the last division of the land parade had passed the ‘Memorial, President McKinley and the other guests were escorted to the Dolphin and reviewed the fleet. All vessels earried flags at full mast, giv- ing the color salute to the President as the Dolphin passed up and down the line. Salutes by gun or whistle had been pro- hibited by Rear Admiral Osborne, who had charge of the parade. The cpectacle was a gorgeous one. At the conclusion of the re- view the presidential party was driven back to its hotel. THE AIR WAS CHILLY. Mrs. McKinley Left the Stand and Sought a Hotel. NEW YORK, April 27.—Mrs. McKinley, after being assisted to the place reserved for her on the grand stand, felt the force and chillness of the wind to be more than she could endute. She was therefore es- corted by a sergeant of the park police and a squad of officers t®rough the crowd and to the apartments at the Claremont Hotel, where she remained during the progress of the ceremonies at Grant's tomb. Abner McKinley, the President’s brother, and Gov. Black were with her. Mrs. McKinley ig not ill. PLEASANT REUNION. Grant’s Old Classmates Dine Together and Tell Stories. NEW YORK, April 27.—One of the most pleasing incidents of the great gathering in this city was a small dinner party given by Gen, James Grant Wilson at his home in East Seventy-fourth street. Besides be- ing a reunion of the surviving classmates of Gen. Grant, the occasion was notable for the presence of both Union and Con- federate leaders in the great struggle of thirty odd years ago. Gen. Wilson had for guests Gen. Chris- topher C. Augur, Gen. Joseph J. Reynolds, Gen. Wm. B. Franklin, Gen. Samuel C. French, Rev. Dr. George Deshon, Gen. Si- mon B. Buckner, Gen, Longstreet and Ad- miral Daniel Ammen. The five guests first mentioned are the sole survivors of the class of which Gen. Grant was a member at West Point. Bringing them together at this time was a hope fondly cherished by Gen. Wilson, and he was delighted when acceptance of his invitations had been re- ceived from all. Gen. Wilson’s pleasure at the meeting of Grant’s early companions was hardly less genuine than the satisfaction he and all of his guests felt when the distinguished Con- federate Generals, alike warm friends of Gen. Grant, appeared in response to his in- vitations. At the gathering were told many anecdotes, which could have been brought out at no other time. The union over the covers of the blue and the gray promoted many interesting stories, and they were given with a completeness that would have been impossible under other circumstances. PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS. Reminiscences by a Member of the Twenty-First Illinois Regiment. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LEXINGTON, Ky., April 27.—Mr. W. H. Polk of the Daily Argonaut of this city Was a member of the 21st Illinois, Grant’s regiment, and in the course of an article on personal. recollections of his old com- mander, says: ‘Col. Grant at once remustered the reg- iment ‘for three years, or during the war.’ After swearing in the men he walked slow- ly down the line, scrutinizing carefully count of his youth or delicate appearance. I began to fear that I would receive a like invitation and surmised correctly. But I pleaded to be allowed to go, stating that while 1 wag young I was ‘a stout boy and could stand anything.’ Measuring me with his eye from head to foot, and hesitating a moment, he consented for me to go. My happiness was complete, for I had been re- jected twice already on account of youth, once by the 7th Infantry and once by a cavalry company. “The 21st remained in aroma a short time, Col. Grant drilling us assiduously every day, until orders came for us to proceed to Missouri. All the railroads were short of cars, and Col. Grant, by permission of the Governor, impressed a number of farmers’ wagons, loaded up the camp equipage and Started us afoot for the enemy's country. “The start was made on July 3, and after marching ten miles we camped. “Pickets were promptly placed out around the regiment, and John Shierman, a Ger- man, and Wash Snyder, both of my com- pany, were chased by a squad for raiding the farmers’ chickens. Snyder escaped, but Shierman was captured, and afterwards used to boast with great enthusiasm that he ‘vas the firsht man tied up by de thumbs by Sheneral Grant in dis war.’ * * * “At Mexico, Mo., we camped and were brigaded., We scouted occasionally and drilled a great deal. The men had all learned gradually to like Col. Grant, not- withstan ing his exacting discipline. They saw it was for the best, but the line officers were not in love with him. He was just as exacting toward them, and several times severely reprimanded officers on the drill ground. Many of the line officers were thereforé glad when Col. Grant was after- wards promoted and left the regiment. “Col. Grant was as unassuming as any one could be. - He was plain in speech, plain of dress, simple in his tastes and habits, and there was nothing about him to indicate the possession of extraordinary talents. Aside from his great plainness of manner, his most dominant characteristic was his intense earnestness in everything he did- or ordered to be done. He seemed to be a very stubborn and determined man, and we soon learned that we had to obey him. On the drill ground, if we got a little careless in the execution of a movement, and the line wavered. he would yell out: ‘I'll drill you here until to-morrow morning but what I’ll make you execute this move- ment right.” And, knowing that he meant it, we knew the only way to escape an all- night drill was to pay attention and execute the movement to his satisfaction. “On one occasion during battalion drill, we were marching by the right flank and I happened to be right guide. We ap- proached a high fence, but Col. Grant was looking at the rear of the line and did not order a change of direction. I knew it was not his purpose to cross the fence, but was obedient to the last order given. So I mounted theefence and was astride the top rail when the Colonel yelled: “What are you doing om that fence?’ I replied that he had not eOmmanded me to file right or left. He saw the point, and in a softer tone said:. ‘Get down from there and file right.’ In a suppressed way I greatly en- joyed the joke I played on the Colonel—all strictly under his own orders—and a titter ran along the line. “One of Grant’s marked peculiarities at times was his seemingly intense abstrac- tion, when nothing seemed to turn the cur- rent of his thoughts. One day while at Ironton he rode in from a circuit of the picket lines, dismounted from ‘Old Yaller.’ and threw the bridle to his hostler. He etarted off with his head bowed as if in intense thought, slowly stroking his beard. Just before his arrival the soldiers had been worrying an old billygoat, and he was still angry. Turning the corner of the stable he saw the Colonel walking away and sailed after him. He struck the Colonel square and fair, nearly knocking him down. Grant turned, stroked his beard refiectively again, looked at the goat, who seemed to be satisfied with his performance, and then walked on to his quarters as if nothing had happened. ~ - * + 7 . 7 7 “We saw no more of Gen. Grant until after the battle of Shiloh. While we were camped at Jacksonport, Ark., we received orders to go to Halleck’s assistance. We made a forced march to Cape Girardeau, took steamers and arrived at Shiloh after the battle. Grant was second in command to Halleck, and on our arrival he rode over to see us and issued an order for better guns for the regiment. We were very proud of him and cheered him vigorously, and Shierman again declared exultingly that he ‘vas de firsht man tied up by de thumbs In dis war by Sheneral Grant.’ “We took part in the battle of Corinth, the 2ist being in advance in crossing over the breastworks when Beauregard retreat- ed to Rienzj. The strict discipline and ex- acting drill under Grant made the regiment as steacy as regular troops, and it pos- sessed great esprit du corps. * * ® “T saw Gen. Grant no more until some years after the close of the war, when I called on him at the White House. To my great astonishment he recognized me, say- ing: ‘Yes, I remember you. You are the boy I asked to step out of the ranks at Springfield and nearly cried about it.’ ” BAD MANAGEMENT. Some Features Are Legitimate Sub- jects of Criticism. Spectal to the Post-Dispatch.

From no other point tn the city can such a view be obtained as from Riverside Park. For twenty miles the placid Hudson can be seen wending its winding way to where the tall mist covered Palisades blend with the Western horizon. On ‘the Jersey side is old Fort Lee, the ferry house and danty villas that dot the banks and look like Swiss chalets nestling in the warmth of the Alpine summer, with no grim, snowy peaks to cast a shadow on their rural loveliness. On the bosom of the Hudson, palatial pleasure yachts, ferry boats, steamers and puffing tugs make their way by summer, while in winter solitary craft plough through ice and silent grandeur reigns. Looking at the East are the signs of a great city, tall smoke stacks of fac- tories, the hum from the busy streets, and the distant shriek of trains and ships. To the south is the smoke of Jersey City, with its myriads of masts and outlines of docks that gradually grow indistinct until noth- ing is seen but the blue waters of the bay that seem to mingle with the Eastern sky. The striking features with which kind nature has endowed the park have been added to by the mechanical genius of man, for almost within a mile of the great tomb colossal structures have been erected, and to-day this part of the city is practically the scholastic center of the metropolis, although some of these buildings are not yet entirely completed. The new Columbia University buildings on the heights to the east of the park are of great architectural beauty. Near them is the new Barnard Col- lege. Just beyond, on the _ elevation of Morningside Heights, is the Teachers’ Col- lege. St. Luke’s’ Hospital also overlooks these heights, and at night its many lighted windows shine like some heavenly constel- lation. Soon the heights will be crowned with the new Protestant Episcopal Cathe- dral of St. John the Divine, which for size and grandeur promises to surpass anything on this continent and to rival the ancient cathedrals of Europe. With such exceptional natural advantages itis not surprising that Riverside Park has become a favorite summer resting place for the New Yorker. On a warm day its sloping green sides are crowded with chil- dren, while along its ‘winding sheltered paths the invalid in his carriage is fre- quently seen drawing new life from the refreshing breezes that blow from the bay down through the Jeafv Palisades. And when the sun sets and the Hudson glim- mers with the reflected light of a thousand quickly passing portholes the benches in THE CHILD'S MONUMENT. the park are almost always filled with those grateful people who love the silence and who, sometimes, in the silence love. The area of the park is about 177 acres and its exact location is on the bank of the North River from Secvently-second sireet to where One Hundreth and Twenty-fourth street would cut through. Its average breadth is 500 feet, but the “drive,” as the park is more familiarly known, is much broader where the curves on the coast or inland sides contribute to its area. Running north it presents a series of elevations, each rise a little higher than the last, until at the summit of the hill it meets an abrupt descent of 150 feet. The ‘drive’. when originally laid out provided for two carriage drives,*a bridle path and a promenade. Bicyclists have found the park a dei'chtful wheeling ground and are always to be seen in great numbers on its paths. he history of the park is as interesting as it is unknown.

LOT I LEE MOE os ee EO A, RE My ve Nees a y a : , 4 © - THR LAVA BEDS. — es GEORGE W. COCHNOWER OF THE BEERS SMASHED WINDOWS. THEN HE DEFIED THE POLICE. The Chief Luminary of a Swell West End Tavern Finds Trouble on Elm Street. — The name of George W. Cochnower, chief clerk at Hotel Beers, adorned a page of the docket In the First District Police Court Tuesday morning. He was charged with ma- licious destruction of property. Cochnower was arrested at 2 o’clock Tues- day morning while he was storming the castle of Florence Eastwood on Elm street, between Sixth and Seventh. He had torn down the shutters and was in a fair way to scale the battlements when the police arrived. Cochnower and a few friends abandoned their haunts in the West End and made a tour of the burnt district. They drifted down Chestnut street and it was nearly 2 o'clock when the Eastwood house was reached. “Several smal] bottles were opened and the fun was becoming fast and furious. Just how it happened is not clear, but trouble arose. Cochnower and Florence Eastwood quarreled and ejectment pro- ceedings were instituted. The woman came off victorious. So much noise was made that Sergt. Mee- han and Patrolman Maher were aroused. Coechnower was on the pavement in front of the house and had just finished pulling the green wooden shutters from the hang- ings when the police arrived. He was bit- terly bemoaning the rough treatment he had received. Florence come to the door and displayed a flag of truce. The tender hearted ser- geant proposed that Cochnower pay for the damage he had wrought and let the matter drop. Florence thought the sugges- tion a good one. She did not care to see her guest locked up, but she did want pay for her broken windows, “No, sir!’ shouted the irate hotel clerk. “I will pay nothing. Neither will be locked up. Maybe you don’t know who I am. Read that.’ And he displayed a card reading, “George W. Cochnower, Clerk, Ho- tel Beers.”’ The Sergeant read the card, but it did not affect him any more than did the fiashes of the hotel clerk's eyes, which rivaled those emitted by the sparkler on his shirt front. The officer said he would have to do his duty unless Cochnower would pay the damages. “You can’t hurt me,”’ was the reply. “You can't lock me up. I have a pull. he Cit Attorney boards at my place and he will fix things.’’ Even this had no effect on Sergeant Mee- han, and Cochnower was taken to the Four Courts in a patrol wagon. Through the courtesy of Eddie Morrissey Cochnower was released on bond. Th? case was called in the police court Tuesday, but it was continued until Wednesday. WAITING FOR PROSPERITY. Now Washington University Will Not Be Built. Until Times Are Better. The building of the new Washington Unt versity is contingent on the arrival of the Hanna-McKinley ‘“‘era of prosperity.”’ Though the site has been purchased there is no immediate prospect of the erection of the necessary buildings. Chancellor W. 5S. Chaplin, when asked about the future of the University, said: ‘“‘We will probably remain in our old quarters for a long time. There are no funds in sight to begin work on the new build.ngs. We think it best to make no effort to raise menex just yét. Busihiéss sentiment has muth to do with delay. With trade conditions as they are now it is useless to attempt to induce people to ‘go into their pockets and contribute funcs, even for 80 worthy an object. “We have an endowment fund for a li- brary building, but we will not use it until we have raised money to erect the Univer- sity proper, as we deem it best to let the und accumulate. The prospect of a new Jnivers'ty building is so remote that we have not even attempted to figure out how long it may be before the work is com- menced.”’ Finest Country on Earth Is to be found in the mountain regions of Western North Carolina, more popularly known as the “LAND OF THE SKY.” Asheville and Hot Springs, N. C., are rapid- ly becoming the most popular all-the-year-. round resorts in America on account of the grand scenery and salubrious climate. Mr. Vanderbilt has been attracted to this region, and it is near Biltmore, a station one and one-half miles from Asheville, where he has just completed his most mag- nificent mansion at a cost of over six mil- lions of dollars. Convenient and comfort- ablc service from all points and round-trip tickets, good for six months, are on sale the yearround. For pamphlets and further particulars address J. C.

WILLIAMS THOUGHT HE WAS VERY FUNNY. TROUBLE FOR TWO FAMILIES. The Humorist Circulated a Lie About Mrs. Stillman and His Brother and Enjoyed Himself. Just because he thought it would be a “funny joke,” Barney B. Williams of De Hodiamont told a story that has caused all kinds of trouble in two hitherto peace- ful families ; Mrs. Austin Evans of Maple avenue and East Park place had a fit of indignation and then wept until her eyes were swollen and Mrs. Evans’ mother, Mrs. Catherine Stillman of 4466 McPherson avenue, is an- gry enough to do most anything to the circulator of the report. Mrs. Evans hasn’t been enlightened yet and she thinks her mother, who is 66 years old, is going to marry Martin Williams, her hired man. Mrs. Evans was excited Monday night and told everybody that would Listen what She thought to be the facts about her mother’s matrimonial intentions. According to Mrs. Evans’ story all the reliminaries had been arranged for Mrs. tilman’s marriage to the hired man. She had even been informed that Mrs. Stillman had bought Williams a new suit of clothes for the occasion, and that Tuesday was the wy set for the wedding. Post-Dispatch reporter called at Mrs. Stillman’s residence on aristocratic McPher- son place Tuesday morning. A motherly old lady opened the door and said she was Mrs, Stillman. When shown Mrs. Bvans’ story, as told to a morning newspaper, Mrs. Stillman grew highly indignant. fee a lie, a malicidus lie,” she said. Why, I havn't thought of marrying Mr. Williams, and I am not going to marry him any more than I’m going to marry you—and I never saw you before. ing around the place since. him a suit of clothes, and if I had it wouldn’t be anybody’s business. I'll make es for the persons that circulated that story.’’ Willlams was brought in. He denied the story of the projected wedding even more emphatically than Mrs. Stillman. Mrs, Evans was still wrought up when seen Tuesday morning. “Why, its common talk that my mother is going to marry the hired man. She is raising my two daughters, and pedple the neighborhood here tell me that the girls are already calling Williams grandpa. “Who told you this?’ asked the reporter. “Why, the Williamses.”’ “What Williamses?’’ “Why, the relatives of Martin Williams, the hired man. His brother lives in the second house north of here. The Wil- llamses tell me aed have engaged music to serenade my mother and the hired man to-night.’ ° At the Williams’ house Barney Williams, the hired mans’ brother, was seen. Barney was in a fine humor. He smiled broadly before the reporter asked him a question. “You want to know about my brother's weeng, I suppose?” he said. “It’s a great joke. f course my brother isnt’ going to mgt | Mrs. Stillman. I just told Mrs. Evans that for fun. She was so easy; she believed it. “You see, I never bought Mrs. Stillman appointed me the house in which Mrs. Evans lives. It wanting to sell it for a long time. I went house was to be sold. wanted to know why her mother was going to sell the house. thought it would be a funny joke to tell her Martin and the old woman were going to get married. She got wild; and we carried out the joke, and she thinks it’s so.’’ Mrs. Stillman is the widow of the late Dr. J. 8. Stillman, who was well-known in his profession. He died three years ago. HE’S AFTER BILL AND MIKE. Uncle Aaron Dockins Has a Rather Vague Grievance. Uncle Aaron Dockins, who served as a slave for twenty-five years, applied to Col. Dick Johnson Tuesday for a warrant. He said that Bill had stolen twenty-five ties from him. They were the ties that Mike had given him. But the old darkey did not know whether they were neckties or railroad ties, and he never knew that Bill and Mike had re other names. Aaron lives at the foot of Dock street. He was he more information for the As- rosecuting Attorney. WANTED BRIBES. Serious Charge Against Members of Delaware Legislature. Special to the Post-Dispatch. DOVER, Del., April 27.—A tremendous stir has been created in the Legislature here over a charge made by Mrs. W. H. Acklan, daughter of ex-Judge T. D. Crocker, a millionaire of Cleveland, O., that a de- mand had beem made on her by persons di- rectly connected w.th the Legislature for $6,000 to secure the passage of her bill asking for divorce. According to Mrs. Acklan’s charge, three State officials and two prominent Wilming- ton politicians recently communicated with her that they had polled the Senate and found that six of the nine Senators would cast their votes in favor of her bil) for $1,000 each. Senator Pyle, who introduced Mrs. Acklan’s bill in the Senate, declares that an investigation will be made and somebody will’ be hauled thoroughly over the coals. BURGLAR WITH A LANTERN. Shot at Twice by Otto R. Hawkins Without Effect. Mrs, Otto R. Hawkins of 1915 Warren street was aroused from her sleep at 2:15 o'clock Tuesday morning by a sudden flash of light. She opened her eyes and saw the figure of a man carrying a bulls-eye lantern. She aroused her husband, who got his re- volver and fired two shots, but it is thought neither struck the intruder, who escaped. Mr. Hawkins found that two slats had been pried off the kitchen window through which the burglar entered. He had gone up stairs and was just entering Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins’ bed-room when his presence was discovered. Nothing was missed. For the Blind Girls.

LACLEDE CASE 10 BE HEARD AGAIN. LAWYERS LEAVE FOR WASHING- TON CITY TO-NIGHT. BOTH SIDES EXPECT VICTORY. The Arguments Will Probably Be Heard Thursday and a Decision Rendeved in Ten Days. City Coung.lor Marshall and Lawyer Henry Hiteecock leave for Washington, D. C., this eveuing to reargue the Laclede Gas Light Co. case before the United States Supreme Court. Col. Hitchcock is associated with Lawyer Isaac H,. Lionberger, attorney for the Laclede company. | The case will be reached Thursday prob- ably, and both sides expect a decision with- : in ten days after argument. The announcement in the Sunday Post- Dispatch that the case was to be called £0 s00n created considerable comment in view of the sensational developments from time to time, resulting last December in the case being redocketed after a decision had practically been reached by the Court, and ordered reargued at the October term. 1897. This was followed by the promise of an investigation of the circumstances under which the expected decision of the court was on two occasions sold to speculators in advance. No investigation materialized. The action of the court last Saturday was considered significant in view of all the cir- cumstances. SPRING CAMPAIGN AGAINST: ALCOHOL MRS. INGALIS AND HER AIDES BUCKLE ON THEIR ARMOR. WILL FIGHT BEER GARDENS. The Chief Objection to Them Is That School Children Have Pic- nics in Them. Mrs. F. H. Ingalls is marshaling her W. Cc. T.

It is not believed that any outside gas companies will bid. It will therefore be oe lede Gas Co. against the electrical field. Gas and electricity will also be pitted against each other on the proposition to build and lease a@ plant. It is here that the people become @irectly interested. If the city does its own lighting under the leasing system it will also furnish light to private consumers at prices based on running expenses. If any profits are made they will be used in beautifying or improv- ing the city. The city will make war on the private concerns. Having no dividends to pay it can easily underbid them. It will start in with a 5 per cent advantage. All the com- panies must pay the proportion of their earnings to the city in return for the use of the streets. The private concerns will inevitably be driven out of business. If the leasing system is adopted it will be to the interest of the electric light compa- PUGILIST TOM ALLEN. Fired Bullets at a Rival Saloon That Had Gotten His Customers. Tom Allen, ex-champion pugilist, was in the Police Court to answer the dual charge of disturbing the peace and carrying con- cealed weapons. Allen had been to a social function. Bock beer was served in liberal quantities and he didn’t neglect his opportunity. When the dance became tame Allen decided to return to his own temple of amusement, on lower Market street and give a performance. It was nearly 2 o'clock in the morning | when he got there. As he started to enter his own place he was not pleased with the Quietude which pervaded it. There were few customers and none of them had been spending much money. Allen's heart was filled with bitterness. nies for the.city to use gas,as it would then not compete with them in their private business. For the same reason the Laclede would like the municipal plant to be for electric lighting. Contrary to expectations, there will be little if any change in the specifications. The lighting companies claimed at the oth- er letting that these specifications were rohibitive. The city will now say to them, n the language of Mr. Holman: “Swat the ball or sit down on the bench.” They are calmly told that if they do not stop sparring for wind and come up with bids the city. will do its own lighting and incidentally drive them out of business, And it is no bluff Mr. Holman says. “I am convinced,” said he, “that ne city should by hook or crook acquire its ‘own lighting plant.

PLANS OF THE COMMISSION TO PURCHASE A SITE. TO BE NEAR A LARGE PARK. Supt. Sibley Explains the Needs of the Pupils and How to Sup- ply Them. ' The appointment Monday by Ldeut. Gov. Bolte of a commission to select and pur- chase a new site for the Missouri School for the Blind, and to sell the property of the institution at the northeast corner of Ninteenth and Morgan streets, is another step toward accomplishing what a body of public spirfted men have been working for for more than four years. The new commission is composed of J. Houston Childers, Hickory County; Wil- liam 8S. McClintic, Marion County; D. lL. Russell, New Madrid County; Ford N. Dyer, DeKalb County, and William T. Matthews of St. Louis. For a long time prior to the Legislature of 1895, the need for new quarters was manifest. The institution was growing a and: it was almost im ible to give the inmates the attention, in the way of exercise and fresh air, thelr condition demanded. In 1872, the last additions, two wings and a mansard roof, were added to the old building at a cost of $76,000. Since then nothing has been done to relieve the crowded condition. The encroachment of business houses, with their noise, bustle and dirt, soon ren- dered the location unfit for school pu ses. All these evils and more were set before a committee of the Assembly of 189% by Supt. John T. Sibley. The administration was favorable to an nanan — new a = be was prepared and introduc appropriating $20,000 for a site and authoriz the sale of the present premises. Just fore the adjournment of the session, however, an amendment was tacked on es | the a propriation contingent on the sale of the property. In this shape it passed. Times were hard, and no purchaser was found at the price fixed by the Assembly— $150,000. The lot has 225 feet front on Mor- gan street, 215 on Franklin avenue and 310 on Nineteenth street. When the last Legislature convened a new bill was introduced. The conditions of this were more favorable. There was to be appropriated $20,000 for the new site, which was to be purchased at once by a com- mission to be named by the Governor. The property on Morgan street was to be adver- tised for sale at $150,000, and when sold the $20,000 granted by the State was to be re- turned to the treasury and the new bulld- ings to be erected with the remaining a ~ a f the commission is to he firrt duty o e purchase the necessary land, then sell the old premises.
