Scenes of Wild Excitement as Houses and Rescue Rafts Were Borne Away. GUTHRIE, O. T., April 28.—Rumors of an appalling loss of life as a result of the flood are in constant circulation, some placing the number of dead at from one to two hundred. There is no way of getting at the real extent of the catastrophe now, however. While it is believed that the above estimate is exaggerated, the groving indications are that previous estimates of the dead have at least been conservative. The water flooded everything in the val- leys of the Cottonwood and the Cimarron. It caught many people asleep, and they were either instantly drowned or thrown into the merciless waves in their night clothes to fight for their lives as best they could. Men, women and children clung to houses and tree tops, down the rapid stream on floating houses while many were carried or some smaller portion of their belong- ings. It is known that many were knocked from by the ‘swift and drowned. In many stocks and household goods were literally wiped out, At noon the water had receded very ma- terially. The property loss is variously estimated at from $200,000 to half a million. The main residence and business portion of Guthrie proper was unharmed. id trees current instances mercantile Jofsthe river, On this land lived hundreds of negroes. During the night the bridge leading across the river to the city had been swept away. The people were absorb- ed in watching the rising waters this morn- ing; when the flood from the reservoirs came down in a solid wall and cut \across the arm of land near the main land, cut- ting off the people from escape. They fied from their homes to the higher parts of the newly formed island. The river by 9 o'clock was thirty feet higher than its usual level. It is believed that there was much loss of life in that part of the city, but the people are too much bewildered to make it possible to ascertain facts now. House after house, many of them of attractive architecture, was lifted from its foundation and swept away. The debris jammed agaifist the strong bridge near the Heims ice plant. The bridge was torn from its moorings and carried away and horses, cows and chickens soon dotted the river in all directions. Men and women could be seen in houses, beckoning for help. In many instances the water had reached the eaves of the houses. An old negro woman was seen on a floating house. The house was overturned and she sank from sight. Many persons had clam- bered into trees. There were no boats for rescuing and men set about constructing rafts, but the terrible swiftness of the cur- rent, which boiled and tossed as if in a tem- pest, made it impossible to manage the crude crafts. The Guthrie Club quickly organized a rescuing party and began the construction of boats. Three daring raftsmen sought to rescue an old man from a tree. The raft as it rushed down the river was watched with breathless excitement. It struck the overhanging limbs and the rafts- men were knocked from their feet. They managed to stay on the raft, however, and it went whirling toward the Cimarron. Nothing has since been heard of the men. Two men secured a small Sternwheel pleas- ure boat and heroically went to the rescue of a number of men and women who were lodged in trees. Many persons were res- cued amidst the cheers of the spectators. The cable which held the boat suddenly parted, and the boat was drawn into the cur- rent and carried away. Fortunately it was finally landed further down the stream. Many overturned houses can be seen far out in the flood, but it will be hours before the fate of their occupants can be learned. There are many persons who claim to have seen persons drowned. It will be aimost DAVE NICHOLSON TOYS WITH CUPID. HEFTY GROCER’S FRIENDS Anz’ TALKING ABOUT HIM. SAYS HE MEANS TO MARRY. He Denies Indignantly and Says He Would as Soon Jump Off the Bridge. “Fras little Dan Cuplid landed a heart blow on the hefty torso of big Dave Nicholson?’’ This is the question that a number of jol- ly fellows about town would like to have answered. The rumor that bachelor Dave is prepar- ing to discard the yellow label for the red badge of courage and brave the dangers and pitfalls of matrimony is going the rounds persistently. The friends of Dave's bachelor days are already in half mourning in anticipation of his early transition from Single blessedness to hymeneal blissfulness. Those who are closest to the heavy framed but light hearted bachelor say that a change has already come over him, and that what many of his friends believe to be a coming event is already casting its shadow. It is whispered that Mr. Nicholson has intimated to some of his closest acquaint- ances that he is going to “‘get good.” His friends think he is a “mighty good fellow’? now and don’t see how he could get any better. They don’t see why he should try to “gild refined gold” by at- tempting to make a better fellow out of himself. Still they are not putting any ob- stacles In his way. ; The gossips who are circulating the story mention the the name of a Louisville lady as that of the bride to be. If there is any truth in the rumor Mr. Nicholsun’s friends seem to know more about it than he does himself. When a Post-Dispatch reporter asg:ed him about it Wednesday morning, he looked “pained and surprised’ as the campaign orators say, and made an indignant denial. ‘There's not a word of truth in it,” he said. ‘“‘I never asked a lady to marry me in my life. If I ever do and she says ‘yes,’ I'll let the papers know about it. If she says ‘no,’ why of course I won’t give my- self away. “As to the lady in Louisville, I have known her since she wasachild.

The rescue boat containing Teague Ray, George Owens and Richard Pierce, with two res- cued people, capsized. Three were drowned. It is believed that Ray and Owens are among them. The wife of James Mont- gomery, George Thornton and James Lilly are believed to have perished. An unknown white man, wife and child have just floated down on a house which toppled over and drowned all of them. An old negro woman stood on the roof of | @ smal] house while the water slowly rose about her and carried her under, praying and singing a hymn. Out of six boats that have attempted to ¢eross the channel! to the inundated districts. four have capsized. Twelve more boats are being built. N. H, Carter and wife were rescued after spending hours in a tree. Mrs. Jennie Mickel spent two hours on a chimney and was rescued. Forty or fifty people seem to be clinging to trees and roofs of buildings, but cannot “be reached. Those who escaped are rushing frantic- ally about in search of missing ones. The submerged section included two of the five wards of the city, including twenty stores, warehouses, ice plant, depots, electric plant | and a large residence eection. HOW IT HAPPENED. Cottonwood River Rose Four Feet in Thirty Minutes. GUTHRIE, Okla., April 2%—A terrible flood in the Cottonwood River suddenly swept over West Guthrie shortly after sun- rise this morning. There is reason to believe that fully a score of persons were Growned. Hundreds were driven from their homes and many houses were swept away. It is the most appalling disaster that ever befell the city of Guthrie. Owing to the in- tense excitement and lack of boats little can be verified at present. The Cottonwood River is a small stream scarcely more than forty feet wide, wind- ing in many curves between the banks in West Guthrie, which lies in the leve) val. ley of the river. A terrific rain fell all yes- »terday afternoon and a greater part of No great Was felt last night, as the river rose sradually and the people felt that it was impossible for the waters to rise high «a Overflow the steep banks. “a gece wag morning the river ABS yY magic.

The disaster equals the Chandler tornado for its terrible suddenness, THROUGHOUT OKLAHOMA. Waterspouts, Lightning and Floods Do Great Damage. : GUTHRIE, O. T., April 28.—The heaviest rain in years fell throughout the Territory yesterday and last night, a continuous downpour keeping up for seven hours and everything being flooded. All creeks are up to the danger point and some out of their banks. Southwest of Waterloo, in this county, a waterspout occurred, and half a dozen farms were inundated. Near Clifton, Lincoln County, scores of farms have been swept of everything and many cattle and horses were drowned. Near Cushing, Payne Conuty, dozens of peo le have been driven from their homes y high water. In the -western part of Logan County several large bridges on the Cimarron and Cottonwood Rivers have been abandoned, and trains in every direction are delayed by washouts.

Vague Report That One Has Swept the Country Between Abilene and Salina. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 28.—It was re- ported this morning that a tornado had swept between Abilene and Salina, Kan., doing immense damage. All telegraph wires on the main route to Denver were reported destroyed. Absolutely nothing definite has been re- ceived here. Wires have been badly crip- pled by a storm, but nothing more positive than this is known. Weather Observer Connors, speaking to an Associated Press representative at 11 o’clock, said: ‘“‘The oc- currence of a tornado in any portion of Kansas up to this time is extremely im- probable. The conditions favor local thun- derstorms in Kansas, but if a storm of any severity has occurred it must have been of the local thunderstorm type, accompanied by heavy squalls. All heavy thunderstorms show some characteristics of a tornado, but they are all far removed from a tornado in the scale of intensity.”’ to. the and—jumping-inte- the-rt —— »- ~e: oa a matrimony.

SOME THINK SHE IS CRAZY. Mrs. Wagner Says Her Son’s Spirit Came to Her in the Night and Talked to Her of Spiritland. ‘The Spiritualists of St. Louis will prob- ably feel interested in the case of Mrs. Kate Wagner, who was taken to the City Hospl- tal Tuesday evening and placed in the ‘‘ob- servation ward” until the doctors can deter- mine whether or not she is insane. Mrs. WagnerSs ordinarily intelligent, with a kind, motherly face, pleasing manners and none of the peculiar characteristics of the crazy women who are confined in the same ward. The only symptom of insanity that anyone pretends she has manifested is the story she tells of how the spirit of her little dead boy came to her in the silent hours of the night, and placed his arms around her neck and talked to her of his love and of Spiritland. Mrs. Wagner's husband is an honest, hard-headed chap, who doesn’t believe in spooks. When she told him of the visit of their dead child he said she had “gone crazy,”’ and promptly sent a policeman for an ambulance and had her taken to the City Hospital “‘for observation.” A Post-Dispatch reporter talked with Mrs. Wagner for an hour Tuesday morning. “Of course,” she said, “I know people will smile and perhaps pity me, and my hus- band will receive sympathy and all that, but the spiritual presence of my young s£0n, whom we laid in Calvary a year ago, has been demonstrated. He is with me. He has been struggling to come to his mother for some time. I could almost feel it in the air. I knew that there was something— some force impelling me to his grave in Calvary, but my cares were too great, “The other night my husband, who is a tearnster, was detained late, and didn’t get home until nearly midnight. About 10 o'clock I felt a strange chill and the air seemed ice-laden, just as if a_ refrigerator door had been opened; then I seemed to hear a whisper, ‘mamma, mamma!’ and retty soon a little soft touch on my wrist. Then I went to sleep again, and whennextI awoke, my husband was preparing for bed. I thought of the boy’s voice but said noth- in g. “Perhaps it was an hour after the gentle voice again called, ‘Mamma!’ It was a child’s voice—my little boy—I couldn't mis- take it. I said: ‘Darling, where are you: ‘Here mamma,’ he said, ‘You can't be, I replied, ‘because we laid you away in Calvary nearly a year ago. “*But I am here, mamma; I came to say how much I love you, and the good person who has charge of me says _I can come to you often if I will be good. I am good, mamma. Don't be frightened. Don’t tell apa. I can’t talk to him as I! : soon when I grow bigger come to him, but Here Mrs. Wagner and sobbed. Even t with her conical Corean cap sniffied and her face softened. of **Yes,"’ and “he was my boy will permit him to come here. But to-night—I may hear. I am so hungry for the sound of his voice, the touch of his tiny hand. I wish thé@y would take me away from here. Of course I know why I am here, and why they seek to detain me. I am not an insane woman. I am a woman whose lot is hard, and whose heart has been bruised, and who longs for the touch of sympathy, that can come only to the woman who has buried her child—the only thing that links her to life. He comes to me, dear child, and I feel, oh, so much better—and now I hope they will let me © back home, where am sure of seeing im again.’’ Dr. Sutter is puzzled about Mrs. Wagner. She talks and acts like a perfectly sensible, though suffering, woman. Yet she is held for “‘observation.’’ Mrs. Wagner was vis- ited by several persons interested in the phenomena of spiritualism, and to all she told the same pathetic story—she longs for the renewed sound of her child's voice and the touch of his hand. Mr. Wagener does hot seem to be especial- ly interested in his wife’s pathetic inter- views with her dead boy. He wants to have her, as he expresses it; “properly cared for by the authorities.’’ ROCK ISLAND SCHEME. From the Missouri River to Topolobampo Bay. SANTA FE, N. M., April 28—Unless all signs are at fault, the Rock Island is back of the biggest railway project the South- west has known in years and proposes to have a line from the Missouri River via El Paso to Topolobampo Bay on the Gulf of California, in a comparatively short time. The Rock Island is hauling steel rails and ties to Liberal, Kan., preparatory to ex- tending its line southwest to Fl Paso, and now it is asserted upon authority that the Rock Island is building the Cerrillitos road out of El Paso, which will connect with Col. A. H. Owens’ road from Topolobampo, concessions for which have just been granted by the Mexican Government. The route in New Mexico is from Roswell to Amarillo, Tex., over which O. FE. Faulkner of the Pecos Valley road is now making a trip on horseback accompanied by a repre- sentative of the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company. SUIT AGAINST PINGREE. Charged With Malicious Prosecution While Mayor of Detroit. LANSING, Mich., April 2.—The Supreme Court has decided that Gov. Pingree must stand trial on a charge of malicious pros- ecution preferred some time ago by James T. Tryon, a former secretary of the De- troit Fire Commission. While Mayor of Detroit Pingree had Tryon arrested for conspiracy, but he Was discharged on ex- amination, Tryon: then preceeded inet the Mayor for false imprisonment a ma- licilous prosecution, but the trial court di- rected a verditt, for Pingree. The court néw grants a neW trial of the cause, and that is how the Governor ts called upon to defend himself upon the charge. eS Er eee ee —_ THE WEATHER) > FORECAST.

FRANKFORT, Ky., April 28.—The crowd that filled the House chamber, aisles, lob- | bies and galleries long before noon to-day, was the biggest seen in ten years in the historic hall. Every one believed a Sen- ator was at last to be elected after a strug- gle that had lasted through two sessions, through 112 ballots and at a cost to the State of more than $100,000. The crowd made enough room at 12 o'clock for the thirty-eight Senators to get inside, a feat that seemed impossible before they came. When it came to the ballot William J. De- boe, the représentative of the Hunter faction of the Republican party. was elected. The vote stood: Deboe, ft: Martin, 12; Stone, 1; Blackburn, 50.

GREEKS IN EPIRUS. —— Lack of Food and Ammunition Proved Too Much for Them. LONDON, April 28.—A special dispatch from Patras, on the west coast of Greece, attributes the reverse of the Greeks in Epirus to deficient transportation arrange- ments and says the measures taken for the conveyance of ammunition and food were wholly inadequate. The dispatch points out that a thousand Greeks who were de- fending Pentep'adaga against 3,000 to 4,000 Turks only retreated when ammunition Was exhausted, and while another division was advancing to the support of Pentepiadaga they returned there without having tasted food for twelve hours, The same conditions, the correspondent of bg 4 arises of farmers are ruined HUNT CREVASSE GROWS WIDER, EVERY GOVERNMENT BOAT PRESSED INTO SERVICE.

KEOKUK, Io., April 28.—The crevasse in the Hunt levee which broke. yesterday is now 800 feet wide and all territory back of it ig flooded. Every government boat in this vicinity has been pressed into service to stop the crevasse, this morning that it would take two weeks’ hard work to do it. but Maj. Meigs said The damage is already done and hundreds and have saved nothing but the clothes they wore. The break came so unexpectedly that it was a rush for life, without any opportunity to save anything. The situation in the submerged territory is deplorable. Thirty thousand acres of fine land is submerged and prospects for crops this season are gone. No loss of life has as yet been reported as a result of the break, The situation on the Missouri side is un- changed. All the bottem lands from this city to Hannibal are overflowed and the towns of Gregory, Alexandria, Canton and La Grange are submerged. At Gregory says, prevailed at Arta, where on Thursday ; several large warehouses containing thou- last, the Greek soldiers, being in a fam- ished. condition, broke into the stores in search of provisions. When the Turks hastily retreated before Arta, it appears the Greeks had a magnificent opportunity which they threw away. The correspondent says that no doubt the Greeks might re- cover the ground lost, but he asserts such mistakes make an unpleasant impress.on. The dispatch further says: A melancholy incident occurred yesterday. A countryman brought news that the Turks were ap- rroaching while the Greeks were. retreat- ng from Fillipiado towards Arta. Col, Bott- garia sent «wo companies to che top of a hill to reconno!tre.

The river here began to fall slowly at 10 o’clock this morning, and it is hoped ‘that the crest of the flood nas passed. The great- est height reached was 18.6. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ALEXANDRIA, Mo., April 28.—The Mis- sissippi river fell two inches here last night and is falling to-day. There is no news danger to the levees. The city levee still holds and is in no danger unless the river rises again. The Gen. Barnard passed down with barges of rock and earth to be used to keep the crevasse in the Hunt levee from widening. The Mascot took a barge load of stock off the island below town this morn- ing. The Keokuk & Western is running trains west of here. The Burlington track is off the dump for a mile both above and below town. It will be two weeks or longer before it can run a train through. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., April 28.—The situa- tion among the railroads is improving in this section. Connection was established with Maryville, Mo., this morning and the first train from there since last Friday ar- rived to-day. The river is still so high that passengers cross by boat and take the train on this side. The other roads are be- ginning to open their lines also. NEW ORLEANS, .. April 28.—The river rose during the night and evidently means mischief. At Pike’s Peak levee on the op- Fouite side of the river 500 men are at work. he labor is all furnished by the planters and will be augmented by a convict camp in a day or two. The plan here is to build a revetment of lumber in front of the levee three feetigh- er than the present crown and to fill in be. hind this fence with sacks of tightly packed earth, making the barricade strong- er and larger in every way. In New Or- leans the panic which was in the air a week is almost entirely allayed and there is talk of the Citizen's Committee disband- ing before the end of the week, leavi®g the defenses to the Levee Board as before. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HANNIBAL, Mo., April 28.—The condi- tions of the floods here are about the same as yesterday except that the water is higher and covers more territory. The gauge at noon to-day registered 20 feet 9 inches, and the river is still rising, though much slower than ng noe gh It is believed that the crest of the flood will be reached to-night. Much damage has been done in the way of paralyzing business, as many mills have been shut down. The’ Sni levee. although in very great danger, it is thought it will stand the pressure, as it is still in good condition. Bay Island, which contains thousands of acres of rich farming land. is now a lake, and there is but one dry spot on it. On this spot are the family of Mr. Nichols and all his-stock. Fifty cords of wood floated off this island last n‘~ht. GREENVILLE, Miss., April 28.—This morning for the first time since the flood reached its height the river at Cairo went below the danger line. But it will. be at least two weeks before the water falls at Helena to any great extent owing to the outpour from the St. Franc!s basin. Even when that begins there will be a long and weary wait before the water leaves the overfiowed lands and planting can begin in earnest over the larger portion of the delta. MURPHY HAD HIS WAY.

Mg KELLY CONTESTS. Claims He Was Re-Elected to the House of Delegates. William C. Kelly, speaker of the House of Delegates, filed a notice of contest upon George F. Robertson in the Circuit Court Wednesday morning, specifying at length the reasons why the election should have been awarded to him instead of to Robert- son. The first charge is that 449 votes were counted for Robertson which should have been counted for Kelly. The second charge is that the same num- ber of ballots were counted for Robertson when they should not have been counted because more than one name for House of Delegates was voted on on each ballot, The third is that at each precinct the judges and clerks held out ten ballots which should have been counted for Kelly. The fourth is that at. each precinct the judges and clerks returned as rejected ten ballots which should have been counted. he fifth is that there were ten ballots in each pre- cinct counted for Robertson which did not have the initials of the judges written on the back, as prescribed by law. The sixth charge is that at each precinct polling place ten Kelly ballots were ab- stracted and destroved and Robertson bal- lots substituted therefor. The seventh is that at each polling place ten fraudulent votes were cast and counted for Robertson when they should have been reiected. The eighth charge is that the ballots were received and counted In each precinct which se Oi voted by persons who had no right to vote, The ninth charge is that ten ballots in each precinct were counted for Robertson which were voted by persons who had no right to vote, but voted on the names of persons on the books. The tenth reason is that there were 250 more votes cast for Kelly than for Robert- son, as it is claimed a comparison of the ballots and lists will show. VALLINS DENOUNCED.

KINGFISHER, O. T., April 2.—Hardly had the streams and low lands ih this vi- cinity drained to their normal conditon from Saturday’s terriffic rains before they were again flooded higher than ever by what seems to have been a cloudburst which washed bridges out and carried great trees, houses, fences and everything port- able down stream. Several persons are reported to have been drowned, but it is impossible to get par- ticulars from the country districts at this time. It is known that large numbers of stock of all kinds perished. Trains are be- hind schedule time on every road, and busi- ness generally is suspended. The weather service is predicting more rain, and the clouds are lowering, with prospects of an additional heavy downpour. DAMAGE TO RAILROADS. Deep Water Covers Tracks Between Guthrie and Seward. WICHITA, Kan., April 28.—The Santa Fe officiale here have received reports from Guthrie concerning the flood only as to its effect on their property. They are ad- vised that the tracks between Guthrie and Seward, seven miles south, are under wa- ter from two to thirty feet deep. So far as known the numerous bridges and draws between the two places are still intact, but it is feared that as soon as the waters subside the bridges will go out and part of the roadbed will probably be washed away. Supt. Dolan of the southern division has dispatched train crews to the scene from every division point, and has sent large supplies of material from Wichita, Arkan- sas City and Purcell. The train north- bound from Guthrie will arrive over an hour late. Election Commissioners.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 28.—Illinois does not propose to let Missouri capture the lucrative office of Consul-General to Mexico without a ht. It was arranged some time ago that A. D. Barlow of St. Louis, brother-in-law to Mr. Houser of the Globe-Democrat, should have the place. Mr. Houser thought it was all right and Mr. Barlow was brought on here to let the President look him over and see his fine points. A new complication has arisen, however, which threatens to eliminate Mr. Barlow’s chances from the list of “sure things.” Editor H. H. Kohisaat of Chicago, who claims to have forced the gold standard clause in the St. Louis platform and who is the President’s closest friend, is backing Truman De Weese, and editorial writer on his paper, for the place. De Weese is also indorsed by both Senators from Illinois and all the Republican Congressmen from the State. President McKinley, it is said, is contemplating giving De Weese the Consul- ate General at Mexico and naming Bar- low for “something equally as good.’ This contemplated move will probably result in a declaration of war between the two single standard organs and a lively skirmish be- tween the opposing factions here.

BODIES OF VICTIMS BURNED. Of $15,000,000 Revenues Uollected, but $5,000 Was Raised ir the Country Districts. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 28.—The Spanish bat- talion of Soria has committed one of the most shocking crimes in Cuba since the be- ginning of the war. A Cuban hospital at Laguna Matagua, Provinoe of Matanzas, was attacked on last Friday by the battal- jon, and sixty of the wounded and sick, in- cluding three women and five children, were slain by the soldiery. To destroy all proofs of their barbarity the Spaniards burned the bodies of their victims and the house in which the hospital was estab- lished. This information comes from a trust- worthy” correspondent of the Sun in Ha- vana, who says the details have been sent to Gomez. Of the $15,000,000 which will be the total revenues collected by the Spanish Govern- ment this year, only $5,000 are assigned to the taxes raised in the country districts, a fact which is officially acknowledged in the report of the Financial Department, and which proves how completely the Spaniards have lost all control over the island out- side of their fortified towns.

Dr. Boyd’s withdrawal from the Civic Federation leaves nothing of that body except an empty name and a broad smile. An organization professing civic reform as its object which goes to Filley to peti- tion for a non-partisan ticket, and which, under a threat from him, swallows what he offers, ward heelers and all, has noth. ing left but to bury itself as speedily as possible, and with funeral services as unobtrusive as may be. Dr. Boyd's position was emphatically right. For the Civic Federation to ac- cept a ready made ticket framed by Filley, using Prof, Woodward as a cats- paw, was worse than self-stultification— it was committing hari kari. Every- body familiar with municipal affairs in St. Louis knows that the main object of the Civic Federation when formed was to fight and if possible defeat Filley as the dominant local boss. And when we see Filley, at the end of the hubbub, fasten- ing his collar on the Federation and lead- ing it off as a tail-end annex to his ma- chine, the good citizen hardly knows whether to swear or to laugh. At any rate, it must he candidly admitted that it is a spectacle for gods and men. That Filley is chuckling with ghoulish mont Street will doubt for a*moment. He will not only own the School] Board un- der the Civic Federation bill, but he has lowered the drop-curtain on the Civic Federation farce amid the jeers of the ungodly. In the meanwhile, the Democrats who refrained from putting up a ticket and acquiesced in the Civic Federation pro- gramme, can only stand aside and pon- der. We earnestly urge them not to intdulge in profanity. -- ~_— © —s ——— A KING’S EXTREMITY. “tneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” There was abundant evidence in the beginning of the struggle for the posses- sion of Crete that King George was forced to take a position which he must glee no one who knows the Sage of Beau-. rectors are elected to exercise a watch- ful care over the bank and that they are responsible, for its losses.

No man can be required to give testimony that wouid render himself liable to conviction of felony. This protection of the law could be re- moved and the danger of the corruptionist rendered so great that the calling of the lobbyist would require as much courage as that of the burglar, whose activity is immeasurably less harmful to the coinmu- nity. Suppose that, on the same principle which justifies the promise of immunity to the criminal who turns State’s evidence against his confederates, it should be made no crime for a legislator to accept a bribe, while it remained a penitentiary offense to give one? Thus the bribe-giver would be at the mercy of the rogue who takes his dirty money. Between the briber and exposure and prosecution would be only the “honor” of the bribed rascal. If it be objected that this change in the law would inevitably subject many of our most wealthy and respectable citizens to perpetual blackmail at the hands of persons who do not go to the Legislature “for their health,” the answer is that wealthy and re- spectable citizens can easily escape that peril by refraining from putting themselves in the power of such persons. The object of the change in the law would be precisely to furnish this motive among others to the wealthy and respectable to stop that sys- tem of bribery which is rotting our whole legislative life. The landing of a few of them in State prison as a result of the testimony of the poorer scoundrels whose votes they habitually buy would do more for the “purification of politics’’ than all the efforts of the “‘reform movements” in which the same wealthy and respectable citizens are usually prominent, without, ap- parently, suffering from any sense of incon- sistency.

I saw Senator George Frisbie Hoar at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday sitting in one of the amen corners, swinging his barome- tric bunch of keys with an easy, regular motion, which indicated that he was at peace with all tne world. In the Senate those keys have become famous. The easy motion means that things are going right with him. An irregular motion means that he isin doubt about tne sruceedings.

Post-office Inspector Joe P. Johnston. two inepectors from Washington, Postmas- ter Carlisle and several clerks were busy all Wednesday morning examining the books of the cashier’s office. Both the Postmaster and Inspector gave orders to the clerks that their whereabouts should not be disclosed. In one part of the building it was stated the two were out of the city; in another that they were at home and elsewhere that they were “‘some- where about the building.”’ They were finally located in a private of- fice adjoining the Postmaster’s room. A negro stood guard at the door and no one was allowed entrance—not even two or three messengers who arrived with tele- grams for the Inspector. Thesq were signed for at the door and taken to the inner chamber. It is evident that the mystery is com- ing to a crisis. Cashier David Hays, who has been ab- sent from his desk since Saturday, ts still at his home in Webster. His health is re- ported as much better, but none of the clerks in the cashier’s department have the remotest idea when he will return to duty. He said Wednesday to a reporter: “IT was compelled to take a rest. My physician said it was absolutely necessary. Yes, I am aware there is an examination being made at the post-office, but it Is one which is made because of a change of officers and its purpose has been miscon- strued. There is nothing significant in the work of the inspector.’’ A note was sent Inspector Johnson Wednesday morning in which he was asked to either affirm or deny a statement from Washington to the effect that he had tele- graphed the department admitting irregu- larities had been discovered in the St. Louis post-office.

From the Chicago Tribune. In appearance Mrs. Grant is not tall or majestic. She is rather short in stature. There is an air of calm domestic- ity about her and she takes. evi- dent pride in the beautiful arrange- ment of. her Washington home The furnishings are mostly historic and she de- lights to recall the associations that belong to certain things like rugs and vases that are gifts from foreign personages. Mrs. Grant always takes a great deal of inter- est in the dinners and receptions given at her home, and much of her personal super- vision is given to them. She rests every af- ternoon for a few hours, and when she comes downstairs to welcome visitors she looks fresh and attractive in her dark gown and widow's cap.‘ She does not give the impreesion that she ts so far advanced in years, Her eyes are clear and look at one steadily and her mouth is firm. Her cheeks have suffered most from the relentless touches of time, but when she engages in animated conversation one forgets the tell- tale-wrinkles and gray hairs and. sees and remembers only the widow of a distin- guished man. Mrs. Grant’s most intimate friends in Washington, now that’ Mrs. Blaine and so many others of her former associates have gone, is Mrs. Beale, widow of Gen.

He said the discrepancy did not reflect upon any Individual.

Attitude of the Players Is Certainly Giving the Powers Something to Think About. The base ball magnates are evidently try- ing to bluff those players who have a lean- ine to the ranks of the malcontents now seeking to form a brotherhood, by belit- tling the value of their services and try- ing to show by means of statistics just how easy it would be to fill their places should there be a revolt, with a class of suc- cessors aS equally prilliant in their per- formances on the diamond. Nick Young, the official head of the League, has this to say about the matter in a telegram from Washington Tuesday morning: “There are at least two good reasons why the threatened revolt of certain bal! players against the National League will not suc- ceed. In the first place there is no longer a dearth of professional ball players. The market is overstocked with ambitious and promising players and the conditions are dittqrent now from what they were when the Brotherhood insurrection was atiempted. There are ten minor leagues in existence to- day and if every player on,.the twelve Na- tional League clubs should desert the League, we couid still fill the vacancies without the slightest difficulty. “The second and most important ob- stacie tn the way of a successful revolution acainsat the League is the lack of financial backing, Te make the proposed revolution zo, opposition to teams will have to be located in Philadelphia, New York, Pitts- burg, Boston, Cincinnati and Chicago. The representatives of the League in those cities would have every advantage over any opposit on that might be started against them. The 8 page would be obliged to secure desirable grounds, which is not a small item of expense in some of the cities named, It would take several years’ hard work anda great outlay of money to come anywhere equaling the old and weil-estab- lished League organization.”’ These remarks betray the views of the extreme optimist. It is true there are a number of minor leagues who have some brilliant players, poss'bly enough in a pinch to occupy the positions now filled by the stars of the major organization as far as simple occupancy is concerned, but in play- ing ability never. Your Uncle Nickodemus figures that the cities and towns thus des- polled would submit without a murmur, and let their players go to fill the places of the striking professionals should the matter ever reach that acute stage. He, however, does not calculate upon those same players becoming members of the brotherhood and refusing to obey the dictation of the major league bosses, in which stand they would without doubt be sustained by the minor league managers. In all the calculations of President Young he figures on the absolute disappearance from the earth of the stara now constitut- ing the playing strength of the National League. He does not consider that the pub- lic at large, educated up to the gilt-edged article of ball that is now the standard exhibit of the League, would not be gsat- isfied and would patronize the inferior games put up by his “replacdd” teams, even should he be successful in so doing. He lays great stress on capital being chary of investment in opposition to the present organ zation. It is a matter of rec- ord that a well-known theatrical man who can command $500,000 is anxious to get a slice of the base ball pie. A nucleus of $500,000 iz a tempting sum to invite further capital from wealthy and far-seelng busi- ness men. Rut your Uncle Nick need have no fears. The League magnates will bluff, bluster and try to override the players until the Broth- crheod isa fact. Then they will endeavor with all possible grace to crawl and grant the players all their demands, with possi- bly the exception of some minor considera- t'on that will save them the ignominy of complete submission. There have been sev- eral events in the last two years that show that the League people do not desire the search light of publicity on their dark lan- tern methods, and that they will go to any extreme to prevent It. The Post-Dispatch does not want to fer- ment organization of the players and disor- anization of the League, but when the resident of that body emits statements like the Wednesday dispatch contains, savor- ing as they do of absolute ownership of all the available ball playing talent in the United States, and intimating that the phay- ers have no redreas, it is only fair in equity to cite a few facts to shater his oriental dream of power and bring him back to the nineteenth century. Wednesday morning's dispatches from Detroit and Indianapolis go to show that the brotherhood missionaries have been at work in those cities, and with considerable suc- cess. If the movement has spread to those towns it would not be Surprising if the mag- nates woke up some fine morning to the realization that there was a solid united organization of players from all the leagues clamoring for recognition with a force that bars resistance. When that time comes the demands of the players will be granted. The League magnates have been through two wars, one with the old American As- sociation which afterward amalgamated with the League, and once with the Brotherhood. nee their red warlike front is plerced the white flag of peace at once waves. The present organization is noth- ing but a veiled mine of dynamite. A hard joit at any time is Hable to cause an ex- losion that will shatter the whole League abric and change the map of the national game. The fact that the President of the League has figured out all the points which he caluculates will be a successful resistance oes to show that the movement, in em- ryo as it is, has already caused the present powers deep study and preparation. -— —s?S CHICAGO EASY GAME.

Amos Rusie, the Hoosier pitcher of the New York Giants, who has just re-’ turned to the game after an absence of one year, engaged in fighting an unjust his first League game Wednesday . He was greeted by an audience of over 10,000 enthusiastic rooters, who braved the raw chill solely to show their friendship and appreciation of the great box artist. Rusie proved in his exhibition that he has lost none of his catapult speed, and he won his game against the Washingtons by a one-sided score of 8 to 3. name, had something to say about the swatting proposition, and he stubbornly refused to let the White Stockings swat, Every now and then a Chicago player would manage to connect when Donahue wasn't looking, but the hits made little or no difference, as no runs came in after the second inning. On the other hand the Browns didn’t have to be urged to smash out the curves dis- pensed by Adonis Terry. They just nat- urally fell upon him at any and all times, not neglecting those opportunities which sometimes present themselves when men are on bases. For instance in the third in- ning when Cross, Donahue and Douglass were occupying the bags, ck Turner sauntered up to the plate and carelessiv pushed the ball to the right-fleld fence. The fleet Jimmie Ryan hustled and held Tuck down to two bags on the hit, but the three runs came in. Another time Cross, Bier- bauer and McFarland were on the bases, and Donahue soaked the ball for a triple, scoring three men. So it was that the Browns won by 10 to 4. They batted out the victory just as the Chicagos took the game the day before. They hit safely eleven times, with a total of fourteen bases. The best Chicago could do with Donahue’s shoots was five hits, one of which was decidedly a scratch. In the field the Browns put up a winning game, with the exception of the first*two innings. Two errors, one by Cross and the other by the usually reliable Douglas, al- lowed the Chicagos all the runs made by Anson’s team. In the first inning, two runs came in when Cross let’ Thornton’s grounder get away from him. In the second, Douglas, after a hard run with the sun in his eyes dropped Kittridge’s fly. Had it been caught the side would have been retired. As it was two runs subsequently were scored. After the second inning Chicago never stood a chance of winning. The Browns easily overtook their lead of two runs when the second was played, and kept on adding to the score. onner and Bierbauer, the veterans on the St. Louis team. surprised their admirers with their frisky work, Con- ner made three splendid plays, one a swift high line catch, and another a smart pick up of a badly thrown ball by Hartman. His single in the fourth brought in two rums. Cross’ error was regretted by everybody, not so much on account of the runs it let in but because the short stop spoiled the bril- liant start he made in the games with Pitts- burg and the first Chicago contest.

Aqueduct People Dodge the Recent De- cision of the Supreme Court. It seems that the Mastern tracks are de- _termined to continue their war upon Riley Grannan. Tuesday at Aqueduct, the open- day of-the season around New York, he was refused admission to the track after he had purchased a ticket and presented it at the gate. The grounds given by the track officials for thus barring the Ken- tucky plunger were that he had not secured an injunction affecting the Aqueduct track and that the recent able decision of the Supreme. Court of New York operated against the Westchester course alone. It is the intention of Grannan to at once proceed against the Aqueduct officials and against the officials of such other tracks that shall in the future persist in the mode of action begun last year against him by the Westchester track. Western turfmen view Tuesday's action by the Aqueduct pev- ple as little short of persecution, and it is safe to say that the example will not be fol- lowed’ west of the Alleghenies. Hard Lines for a St. Louis Man. F. W. Buckley, the St. Louis cyclist, who went to Louisville last week to train for the Fountain Ferry Park races, is playing in tough luck. Since he arrived in Louis- ville he has done nothing but Ne in bed and curse his stupidity for leaving hie sleeping-car window open the night he left St. Louis. A severe cold was the result, and other complications arising, brought about a threatened attack of appendicitis. In a letter just recefved from the cyclist he says he is doing nicely under the care of a good doctor and hopes to be well enough in a few days to begin training. Last Game With Chicago. The White Stockings will meet the Browns for the final game of the series Wednesday afternoon and they will try hard to win the rubber. Anson was parerentsy upset over defeat Tuesday, as he wishes to wipe out those three straight losses in Cincinnati be- fore returning home to receive the testimon- ial his admirers have arranged for him. He will probably pitch Briggs or Griffith and Dowd will in all likelihood try Hart and Es- per. Game will be called at 4 o'clock. Pop Flies and Grounders. Philadelphia papers accuse Beckley of persistent “‘dirty’’ ballplaving. In four*championship games last week the Philadelphia club played before a trifle over §),000 people. The surprise of the season has been fur- nished by Louisville. A change may be looked for when the Chicagos arrive there Thursday. Mr. Von der Ahe has. arranged to trans- fer one of the Cleveland games, scheduled for the summer, to Friday. The Indians, therefore, will play four straight games, beginning Thursday. Louis Bierbauer'’s charley horse is going to be treated by electricity. As is becom- ing, a veterinarian will apply the battery. The left leg is the afflicted member. The doctor thinks he can bring ‘“‘Looie”’’ around into prime condition within a week or two. The Pittsburg club has given $75 to the Anson testimonial—$30 through Vice-Presi- dent Auten and $25 through President Kerr. Prof. Stagg sent $5 upon behalf of the Uni- versity of Chicago ball team, accompany- ing it with a letter complimentary to An- son's character. ; The Browns are fortunate in being the opposing team for Anson day In Chicago. A big parade will precede the game, and it is safe to say that with good weather 15,000 cranks will turn out to see the game and presentation to Anse. Donahue was about the cockiest man on earth after his victory Tuesday. It was all right; he was due to be cocky after pitching such a game against a hard-hit- ting aggregation like Chicago. “And they said I pecs 9) hit,’’ muttered the red-headed one as he walked out of the dressing-room. That single and triple afforded Donahue more real satisfaction than a present of $500 would have done. Sporting Notes.

TEMPLE HOUSTON, WHO HAS A RECORD OF HIS OWN. HE IS PRESIDENT SAM’S SON, An Uncompromising Ex-Southwestern Democrat Tells What He Thinks of the Recent President. Temple Houston of Woodward, O. T., who arrived in St. Loufs Tuesday, is one of the most interesting characters that has visited St. Louis for a long time. The fact that he is a son of Sam Houston of Texas has something to do with attracting attention, ‘et there is an individuality about Temple ouston that would distinguish him, inde- pendent of his father’s fame. Tall, solidly built and with massive feat- ures, the man from Oklahoma is a apeci- men of physical perfection. His smoothly shaven face and long hair on which rests a wide white sombrero, at once give to him a dashing appearance. Column after column has been written about Temple Houston. In the thirty-seven years of his existence he has been active in Texas and Oklahoma affairs, and numerous incidents have brought his name into prominence. “A vast amount of the matter printed about my career in the Southwest was sim- bly sensational exaggeration,” said Mr. Houston to a-reporter for the Post-Dis- patch, when mention was made of per- sonal difficulties in which he has been in- volved. Houston declined to discuss the encounters, in‘ which he played a part, and which resulted in bloodshed. While he has a typical frontier appearance he does not act like the man killer that he has been reputed to be. His manner of speech is gentle as that of a woman and there is evi- dently a large vein of human kindness in his make-up. Yet, courage and determina- tion are plainly depicted on his countenance and there is nobody who doubts his ability to defend himself. Houston is engaged in the practice of law at Woodward, one of the western Okla- homa county seats. He located there in 1893. Prior to that time he lived in Texas, where he was born, with the exception of a few years spent in old Mexico. The Texas people honored him once by electing him District Attorney for the Pan Handle country, and he also served a term as State Senator from the Nineteenth Texas District. As a delegate te the Chicago convention that nominated Bryan, Temple Houston won much notoriety by reason of the prom- inent part he took in the proceedings. Houston was one of the pioneer silver men in the Southwest. He ia aggressive, but not radical, yet the opinion that he entertains of Grover Cleveland is not in the least complimentary. \ TEMPLE HOUSTON. Mr. Houston carries a newspaper with him containing a synopsis of an after- dinner speech delivered in New York re- cently by ex-President Cleveland, in which the emocratic delegates who nominated Bryan are assailed. ‘"To me,”’ he said, “the most amazing thing in the remarks of the ex-President is that he deplores the course of Mr. McKin- ley on the tariff when he (Mr. Cleveland) did all within his power to secure McKin- ley’s election. He knew what McKinley was. For if there is any one thing with which his name is pre-eminently identified, it is high tariff. Mr. McKinley would prove recreant to his long and brilliant career in public life if he pursued any course other than ghat which he is now fol- lowing. What Mr. Cleveland means by the Republicans ‘wallowing in the mire of ex- treme protection’ I do not know. They were so expressly pledged in their plat- form and by the record of their nominees and could not consistently abandon a theory with which their party has been identified from its inception. Possibly, how- ever, this may indicate the importance which Grover Cleveland attaches ce parey ledges. Next to Mark Hanna Grover Cleve- and is responsible for McKinley’s election and should not complain. “Mr. Cleveland will not deny his inspira- tion of the Palmer-Buckner ticket, and that he supported it. Neither will he dis- ute that the adoption of the Chicago plat- orm and the nomination of Bryan and Sewall was in accordance with the most exacting party usage. Then after having repudiated the action of a party whose nomination he had thrice accepted and four times sought, and whose defeat he had compassed and over which he now exult- ingly felicitated himself, what right has he to counsel such a party? “And such counsel! “That the party of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson—the most ancient and il- lustrious political organization existent should consent to be absorbed by a wretched mongrel horde of Federal office-holders and Wall street minions who never carried & county in the United States and the sole purpose of whose organization was [to stab and assassinate Democracy in the last election! “The suggestion of Mr. Cleveland that the principles of Democracy are concen- trated in the 130,000 Palmer and Buckner votes and that the 6,500,000 votes for Bryan are ‘designing agitators,’ is a calumny on the American people in which an ex-Presi- dent should not indulge—and by no stretch of the imagination can I conceive of any one of his predecessors in that exalted office descending to such unseemly and dis- graceful depths. “Another thing singular in his corpu- lency’s utterances is that while his speech fairly glitters with advice to that Democ- racy which he has just helped to defeat, he offers no suggestion of a remedy for the ills whose existence he mits. Now, a pliant Congress repealed the Sherman law, and accorded Cleveland ovee? form of leg- islation hostile to silver which even his antipathy to the pale metal could invent. Would he wish the possession of silver made a felony, or send a man to the pent- tentiary even if he looked like he wanted a little silver? “He makes a strange use of words and calls that treachery among Democrats, shown both in voting for Palmer and in voting for McKinley, splend:d Democratic patriotism! Such a suggestion would hor- rify a water moccasin. “He causelessly denounces as destructive to the nation the pone enunciated and the standard bearer chosen at Chicago. Many of the most illustrious men of this nation were prow members of that convention.

Poor old Hayes was thought contemptible because.he saved money on a presidential salary, but it was reserved for Cleveland to make money out of It. “Had he guarded the finances of this Nation as vigilantiy as he filled his once so slender purse he would have no cause to villify the righteousness or wisdom of men the latchel of whose shoes he is not .

Rules Against, Then for the Purington Paving Brick. A few days ago Charles Varrelman, Gen- eral Superintendent of Street Construction, notified Stifel & Ruckert that the vitrified brick used by them on crosswalks were not in conformity with the specifications of the contract as they showed laminations. The brick was‘that of the Purington Pav- ing Brick Co. of Galesburg, Ill. The con- tractors notified the firm. Tuesday D. O., Purington, President of the company, ar- rived in St. Louis, and called on Street Comenieney Milner to protest against the ct*onrn. Mr. Milner told him if he was not satis- filed to make his complaints in writi the Board. He did a —— The complaint stated that the brick of the company had stood the St. Louis tests. We understand,” it continued, ‘‘that the pa of lamination wags raised by the t. Louis Pressed Brick Co.,” and a wil- lingness was expressed to submit the Pur- ington product to a competitive test with that of the St. Louis company. It was claimed to be impossible to make brick by mud processes without some lam- ination but that there was no detriment to its durability. Mr. Milner said he was accused of acting arbitrarily. He wanted the complaint re- ferred to a committee composed of the three other engineer members of the board. The other members did not betray any anxiety to shoulder the responsibility and President McMath finally ruled that the board hkd no right to review the Comm:is- sioner’s acts. In the meantime Mr. Purington had pro- duced a brick which Mr. Miliner said was the worst laminated of any he had ever seen. Mr. Purington said it was a Niedringhaus brick from ashington avenue. In answer to a question Mr. Milner said he had ruled against the product of the Galesburg works and not simply against a single delivery. He asserted that they all showed laminations. Mr. Purington insisted that the existence of lamination could only be shown by breaking open every brick. To the surprise of everybody Mr. Milner told the contractors to go ahead and use the *Purington brick. Then he looked around definantly at the other members of the board. if there shovld later He intimated that on be objections to the brick he would not accept the blame. TROUBLES OF THE HORGANS. Old Dan’s Widow Claimed the Estate of Young Dan. The troubles of the Horgan family were up for adjustment before Judge Klein Tuesday on an appeal from the Probate Court. Ten or eleven years ago old Dan Horgan departed this life, leaving a widow a small competence and a nephew and namesake. Just before he died, old Dan Horgan called Young Dan Horgan to him and made him promise that he would look after his aunt, Mary Horgan. Young Dan, as soon as the old man was gone, took up his position as the head of the areas household and treated the aunt with all the attention and care he would have bestowed upon his mother. In the course of events: young Dan Horgan was kicked by a horse and eventually died at the home of his aunt. The aunt took charge of the remains for burial without letting Dan's mother and sisters know )any- thing about it. , After Dan was buried, Mts. Mary Horgan claimed all of his estate, first attempt to establish that she was his wife. position she soon realized was untenable and she abandoned it. Instead she turned in a bill for board, loans of cash, wash- ing, etc., amounting in all to about $2,909. She charged Dan for every item of ex- nse she could remember during the ten years he was with her carrying out the wishes of old Dan. The case was gone into very thoroughly before a jury nuseee? and all the affairs of the Horgan family. were brought to light. CLARK AVENUE BRIDGE. Bids Opened for the Iron Supports Thereof.

Louisville’s Chief Executive Captures a St. Louis Heiress and a Well- Known Musician. There will be a home wedding at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening at 2803 Locust street, and when the benediction is pronounced by Rev. William Short, pastor St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Miss Laura, daughter of the late Dwight Durkee, will be the mite 3 George D. Todd, Mayor of Louls- e, Ky. Mr. Todd first met Miss Durkee while Was visiting at the residence of Dr. J. Holloway in Louisville, several years ago. An engagement was the sequel.

The average number of deaths in New York City for five years has been 600 each week. Of this num- ber 288, or nearly one-half, have been from pneu- monia, consumption, or some pulmonary troub!e. This is not theory, but actual figures made by the Board of Health. Nearly eighty thousand people in five years in New York City alone have died from throat and lung troubles! When we think of the thousands who had throat and lung diseases, and who have recovered, how terrible an array of facts does this present. Doctors have said in the past that most of these troubles were incurable; they are now finding such is not the case. The best physicians declare that a man or woman, even in an advanced stage of con- sumption, can live for years and even to old age by a careful and constant use of pure whiskey, but it should be remembered that the word pure, is al- ways used by physicians. There is but one abso- lutely pure whiskey, and that is Duffy's malt. In its purity rests its great power, although it has other qualities possessed by no other whiskey. A child can take it without any evil effects, and for restoring partially consumed lungs, building waste tissue, and giving health and strength in the place of disease and weakness, it stands absolutely without a rival. Care should be taken to secure only the gehuine. Do not trust any dealer who tries to substitute something in the place of Duf- fy’s, but insist on having what you cal! for. THOUGHT LILLIAN MIGHT BE A MAN EAST ST. LOUIS POLICE HAVE THEIR EYES OPEN. A TRAMP ACTRESS ARRESTED. She Had to Convince a Sergeant That She Was Not a Man ia Disguise. Miss Lillian Boyd, an actress from St. Louis on her way afoot to New York, with Joseph Marionto, her partner in the vaude- ville business, were arrested Tuesday night in East St. Louis on suspicion that she Wis a bold, bad man disguised as a girl. Miss Lillian is hardly 20 and quite pretty. She wears her hair cut short so as.to better accord with the masculine characters she portrays on the stage. On top of her crop of thick, dark, short hair. she wears ‘a Fedora hat man-fashion—one that fits her and does not perth upon the top of her head and depend upon the precarious hold of hat pins for its safety. Her attire also includes a shirt waist of dark, silky-looking stuff, with the usual puffed sleeves and a plain dark-colored skirt, which reaches just below her shoe tops and does not sweep the streets. Anyone but an East St. Louls policeman would consider the young woman very properly attired. ° After Lillian was arrested she was told she must give the police satisfactory proof that she was a woman. She offered hearsay evidence, her partner in the show business stating that he knew of his own knowledge that she was a woman. The police, after deeply considering his statement, came to the conclusion that Joe was prejudiced. : They have no police matron in the Fast St. Louis Jail, so the situation grew some- what perplexing. It was suggested that the prisoner be detained for a few days to see if whiskers would grow or not. Then it was decided that he or she was so young it might take a year or two to decide the question that way. The young woman finally became impa- tient over the fuss they were making about her sex, and said if there was a doctor in the neighborhood or a real, reliable, old married man on the force she would con- vince him as to her sex. This scared the East St. Louls guardians of the law a bit and caused them to blush. No doctor was available, so a staid old sergeant was appointed a committee of one to retire to the seclusion of the Chfef's office and obtain evidence which would be satisfactory to him. If he was convinced the rest said they would be. What evidence the young woman offered has not been made public. The old sergeant very shortly and emphatically announced that Miss Li‘li- an was a woman and nota man in disguise. Then a charge of consorting with a male person who was not her husband was placed against the struggling young act- ress and she and her companion wero locked up for -the night. They were re- leased early Wednesday morning and di- rected to the road to Terre Haute, with the added precaution not to stray into Belleville by accident or it would go hard with them in that sanctified burg. Miss Lilian said they had tried to make a liv- ing in St, Louis, doing song, dance and character sketches, but had met with a frost, so they decided to break the pedes- trian record to New York and win a prize of $800 offered by a New York newspaper. It was their intention to play at all the towns along the road where they could get engagements, and where they could not to do the best they could. Summer was coming on and they hoped to be able to make an honest living for the few months it would take them to reach the gay riaito in New York. MONEY FOR CUBA. Coin to Be Issued on the Columbian Half Dollar Principle. Communications have been received of late by prominent local sympathizers with Cuba from the Junta in New York city, setting forth a scheme to raise funds for the insurgent cause. The provincial government is known to be lamentably weak financially, and the hope of freedom demands that the army be kept intact during the wet season now be- ng. o The pian is to float a quantity of Cuban dollars to be disposed of on the same rinciple as were the World's Fair coins. The experiment will be tried first in New York, and if the people respond a quantity will be shipped to St. Louis and other western cities. An effort was made to have the Western banks handle the money on the same basis the Columbian half-dollars were moved, but so far the Junta has been unsuccessful in this line. It. is said the dollar will be a silver coin of the exact size of the Spanish “‘five pesetas.”’ One million dollars’ worth of silver bullion is to be used. The money to purchase this bullion and defray the ex- penses of coining has been raised by Ameri- ean brokers. The coin will be about the size of the American dollar. The design for the face will consist of a head or a figure indicating liberty. ‘The seal of the Cuban republic will be on the reverse. The pesetas to be given circulation will be 70-100 fine as to silver and salable in any event. An agreement has been made with the Junta for the recognition of the coins when the island gains its freedom. In the event of ultimate disaster to the patriotic arms it is argued the dollars will have a high souvenir value. Apollo Club Concert. The Apollo Club closed its third season with a concert at the Fourteenth Street Theater Tuesday night. The audience was large and composed of fashionable people who are Interested in music.

Spilker, a clerk in the city dis- tribution department of the St. Louts Post Office was arraigned in the United States District Court Wednesday morning charged with opening letters: He was represented by Col. D. I. Pyer, who entered a plea of not guilty, and Spilker was released on $500 bail. “The case is a most singular one,” said Col. Dyer to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “The indictment charges that the offense was committed last November, yet ever since that day Spilker has been at work and has not been molested. I have closely questioned him about the case and he de- nies positively ever having opened any let- ters. He says he was thunderstruck when he was placed under arrest.” Spilker was taken into custody Tuesday evening by Deputy United States Marshal Nall. e is 35 years old and is married. He has been a clerk in the post-office since Jan. 1, 1887. Inspectors Thomas and Reid, who worked up the case say that Spilker did not take anything from the letters and had been known to open letters containing money and eee them in the distribution boxes. he inspectors claim that Spilker, for some reason unknown to them, wished to ascertain the conténts of letters addressed to a certain photographer, but he never pre- vented their transit through the mails.

A GIRL DRUNKARD. Nellie Walsh Is Only 16, but She Loves Her Toddy. Nellie Walsh, 16 years old, ts a patient at the City Hospital, undergoing treatment for alcoholism. She was found at Greer and Marcus av- enues at 10 o’clock Tuesday night reéling around in a boisterous manner and swear- ing like a sailor. She was arrested by Pa- trolmen McHugh and Nolte, who took her to the Sixth District Police Station. She was so much under the influence of liquor that her condition was considered serious and she was sent to the City Hospital. Wednesday morning she was recovering from‘her spree. She told a reporter that she began drinking the last time because she had been discharged from the plate she had been employed as a nurse girl. .She worked for a = Ruggles, she said, who ved on Labadie avenue, UN Yetlie's parents live at 5565 Union place.

Mrs. Tillie Seifert, who caused a sensa- tion Tuesday evening by swallowing a couple of ounces of laudanum and was removed from her residence at 743 South Second street to be pumped out at the City Hospital, is in a more hopeful mood, The pumping by Dr. Thompson was a suc- cess, He eliminated all opiates from the lady’s diaphram, but the canker at her heart he could not quite reach. To a Post-Dispatch reporter she said, as she lay on her cot at the hospital: “You see, it was all his fault. He earns good wages, he keeps me—O, yes, in a way—but there aren’t many kind words. He is young, good looking, and can play instruments that he makes himself, and I—well, I’m older than he, and I expect I’m no longer pretty, and I know there are other women for him. One I know of, but—but—and here the woman broke down, her bosom heaved and a flood of tears filled her eyes. “But I won’t do it again,’’ she sobbed. “IT will try and bear up.

But that he can accomplish discordant tones in his domesticity is shown by the two ounces of laudanum and the successful stomach —-. : “She is wildly jealousy,” said Mr. Seifert, “that’s all there is to it. She won't let me look out of the window without making a scene. Yes, she’s older than I am, and we've both got along where that counts. I make a good living for her, give her all she wants, and I can’t see what she is kicking about. I think she is a little off here,”’ and Mr. Seifert put his index finger on his frontal bone. Mr. Seifert had come to the hospital to remove the ftmpulsive woman to her home, and Dr. Sutter delivered her into his charge. “Look out for yourself, now,. Setfert,’’ said Dr. Sutter, “Don’t let her come here again.”’ MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY. The Council Sent the Temporary Ap- propriation. to the House. The City Council Tuesday night passed the temporary appropriation bill and sent it to the House, where it passed its first reading. The House will hold a special meeting Thursday at 11 a. m., to act on it. The House resolution declaring that only qualified voters shall be employed on public work was read in the Council and referred to the Committee on Municipal Affairs. The bill appropriating $155,000 for work on the new City Hall was read the first time in the Council. Mr. UWthoff tntroduced a bill to give the City Counselor a second assistant at $3,000 a year. Mr. Thuner presented a bill for $5,000 for | the relief of William Gottwald, Sr., heir of George Gottwald, the fireman who was killed at the Ely-Walker fire. The Board of Health anti-expectoration resolution was referred to the Sanitary Committee. In the House Mr. resolution providing that the trict Police Court remain in quarters, which are said to be unsafe, was referred to the Police Committee. PASSED FORGED CHECKS. Ed Blume Got Money and Now He Will Have to Suffer. Sweeney presented a econd Dis- ' its present It FACTORY INSPECTOR. Ordinance to Be Introduced for That Purpose in the Assembly. will soon have introduced in the Municipal Assembly two ordinances. One wil! make provision for a factory inspector and at least one assistant. The other will bé amendatory of the building ordinance re- cently passed. An impression has prevailed that the Municipal Assembly created the office of factory inspector during the Noonan ad- ministration, and wonder has been ex- athe pe that neither Noonan nor Walbridge Pressure has even been brought to bear on Mayor Ziegenhein to make the appoint- matter. The Legislature in 1891 imposed the duty of creating such an officagon all cities of over 5,000 inhabitants, but St. Louis took no steps to comply with the law. The section is to be found on page 60 of the laws of 1891. It reads: It is hereby made the duty of ne lic authorities of each city in this State with a population of 5,000 inhabitants or more, to appoint an inspector, with dep- uties, where the same are necessary, to be paid by the cities such reasonable compensation as may be prescribed by ordinance,whose duty it shall be to make frequent inspection of all factories em- loying exceeding ten persons, and said nspectors may ee bey such duties as may be prescribed by ordinance, and Shall make semi-annual reports to the State Labor Commissioner, and shall alz:G cause any violation of the pro- visions of this act to be brought to the attention of the grand-juries of their respective counties. The duties by this section devolved upon an inspector may, under such regulations as may be pre- scribed by ordinance, be performed by any city officer designated by ordinance of such city for the purpose. What inspection St. Louis factories now get is done Ms the State Inspector, William Anderson. r. Randall has had: several conferences with him. He thinks at least two men will be needed to do the work properly. The ordinance will therefore pro- vide for an inspector and one assistant. Two more good jobs will thus be placed at Mr. Randall's disposal. The amendment to the bul!dine ordinance is made necessary by the discovery that the fire escape stipulations conflict with those of the State law. The State law says that establishments employing twenty or more persons above the first floor must have one or more outside iron fire escapes, and for every twenty persons employed above. the second floor there must be one rope or portable fire escape. The ordinance only requires them on buildings more than two stories in height, and in the case of factories does not re- quire them unless fifty or more persons are employed above the second floor. It will be made to conform to the State law. WILL NOT SPREAD. Webster Groves Declines to Reach Out for More Territory. Webster Groves, in St. Louis County, will not change from a city of the fourth class to one of the third class this year. The proposed ordinance extending the town’s limits so as to take in the villages of Sunny Side, Selma, Old Orchard, Shrews- bury, Webster Park, Glendale and Jack- son Park, was defeated at the Board meet- ing Tuesday night. Strong speeches were made against the measure by those who had removed from St. Louis to escape city taxes. There was no craving on the part of citizens for the so-called privileges of a municipality. If these were desired, St. Louis was in easy reach. After some dis- cussion the Board turned the Dill ore a vote of 3 to 1, two members being sent. Liederkranz Club. The LAederkranz Club election was held Tuesday evening. The new offiecrs are: . H. A.

Blume is wanted in Kansas City to answer a charge of | forgery. He was arrested in Cincinnati Sunday and McPnany went after him. Blume arrived in Kansas City two weeks ago, and called on Sam Patterson, the in- valid son of G. M. Patterson, a wealthy implement manufacturer. He had met the invalid in Guthrie, O. T., and when he called on him in Kansas City it was to be intro- duced to a bank so that he could get a check for $80 cashed. The check purported to be signed by A. B. Normandie of Guthrie. As young Mr. Patterson was unable to leave his bed he gave him a letter of intro. | duction to his father, and the latter cashed | the check. It was subsequently learned that | the check was a forgery, and Blume was arrested in Cincinnati. : Detective McEnany says that Blume passed several checks in Guthrie, each pur- porens to bear the indorsement of the pub- j sher of a paper there, and it afterwards developed that the checks were worthless.
