AK AS BAD AS AOS. TWEED, CINCINNATI’S CORRUPTION AT LAST DEVELOPING. ee eee ie a TWO MAYORS CLAIM OFFICE. It Is the Beginning of the End in the Worst Boss-Ridden City Since Tweed’s Halcyon Days. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. CINCINNATI, 0O., May 4.—-To-day two men claim to be Mayor of this city, and a Nasty condition of affairs exists. Fach one has made appointments and gone through all of the technicalities of office. Mayor Caldwell's regular term expired to-day, but he claims fhe office untfl July 7, under a special enactment extending the term. ‘Boss’ Cox took a precaution for possible defeat by extending the Mayoralty term to allow Caldwell to reappoint August Herrmann to the Board of Administration. | The latter Board has control of the new Wwater-works, for which $6,500,000 in bonds have been issued. Gustav Tafel, Democrat, recently elect- ed, formally demanded the office of Cald- well, and upon being refused at once instl!- tuted sult. He declares that the act ex- tending the term of office is illegal and un- constitutional. Caldwell reappointed Herrmann as a mem- ber of the Board of Administration yester- day. Tafel appointed Samuel Nieman to the same office. Mr. Nieman had his bond approved also and demanded office. He will await the result of Tafel’s suit for the mayoralty. The combined Democrats and anti-gang Republicans are anxious to get contro] of the Board of Administration to get at the differert city departments where it is claimed there is much rottenness. Health Officer Prendergast is now under - indictment for bribery, and Secretary Whet- stone of the Water Works Department and Clerk Enslin are charged with a shortage of about $2,000. There are rumors that many other departments of the city are short. Cox is on Whetstone’s bond. The Secretary was one of the boss’ captains. Acting Secretary Butterfield of the Water Works Department and Clerk Thornton of the same office made another startling dis- covery this morning. It appears that each day's receipts are entered on the cash book, and are then supposed to be turned over to Whetstone, and he signs the book. It has been discovered that he has not re- ceipted in that way for the money of three or four years. Instead he would simply Bive the receivers a receipt for each day’s money, say $6,000 or $7,000 a day. It has been discovered that about half of these receipts are missing. The situation is this: The receivers can claim that they paid the money over to Mr, Whetstone, while on the other hand, he can claim he never received it. Only a thorough in- vestigation will reveal the true amount of the shortage, which may reach into hun- dreds of thousands. As. the result of the developments the declaration of Cox that he was for Hanna for a second term will prove a boomerang to the Senator, for the power of Cox as a boss in Cincinnati is doomed, and any man he may declare for will suffer.

The Supreme Court Overrules the Mo- tion for a Rehearing of the Celebsated Case. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 4,—The Supreme Court en bane to-day overruled the motion for a rehearing in the case of Col. Charles H. Jones vs. Williams et al., which involved the control of the Post-Dis- patch. The decision of the Supreme Court in favor of Col. Jones was rendered on Jan. 6, 1897. The decision was written by Justice Macfarlane and was concurred in by Jus- | Sherwood and Robinson dissented. The de- fendants filed a motion for a rehearing and that motion, which has been pending for nearly four months, was overruled to-day. A dissenting opinion was filed by Justices Sherwood and Robinson. It contains fifty- seven closely written pages and makes a thorough review of the case in opposition to the opinion of the court. This ends the case, and Col. Jones’ vic- tory is final and complete. He won in every court to which the case was submitted. The overruling of the motion for a rehearing is the final step In a litigation that has lasted one and one-half years. Chronology of the Case. The petition for preliminary injunction was filed in Judge John M. Wood's (Circutt Court, No. 6, Sept. 21, 1895.

MISS MAMIE DYER. — the jury the issues of law and fact and what constituted mitigating circumstances. He put an entirely different phase on the case from his point of view and threw a few sidelights on the relations between Mr. Hill and Miss Dyer. He told of a trip Mr. Hill and Miss Dyer had made “°to Mexico, Mo., and w they had gone out buggy riding toget during Mrs. Hill's absence from the city, in Mrs. Hill’s buggy, behind Mrs. Hill’s horse and followed by Mrs. Hill’s dog. All these things, Mr. Johnson said, were known by Mrs. Hill when she made the trip to Miss Dyer’s house. The scene in Mr. Hill's office when his wife captured the letters and the subse- quent affair at Miss Dyer’s were told ac- cording to the standpoint of the defense, Mr. Johnson's endeavér was to show..that if Mrs. Hill had said harsh things at ss Dyer’s house she had ample provocation. he plaintiff’s first witness was Miss Maudie McConnell, a 13-year-old miss, who let Mrs. Hill into the house on Sunday morning, Dec. 6. She mixed things +4 | say- ing she saw Mr. Hill get out of the buggy in which Mrs. Hill was sitting. This was a new version, as Mr. Hill was supposed to have preceded his wife to the house, but Maudie stuck to her story and refused to be rattled. She was on her way to Sunday school when she let Mrs. Hill in, and went direct to Sunday schoo: without waiting for the termination of the scene that followed. She remembered having heard Mrs. Hil! tell Miss Dyer she felt like blowing her head off. Miss Dyer was the second witness. She gave her testimony coolly in a steady voice. She gave her name and address and said she kept house at 5838 Plymouth ave- nue for a colony of business women. “What kind of business?’ quéried At- torney Young. “Literary, I guess. One of them was a typewriter.’’ ‘ Miss Dyer then told the story of her business career. Ten years ago she started clerking for her brother in the little town of Farland, Kan. Then she went to college for a year and followirg that became casn- ier for the big dry goods firm of White & Co., at Wichite, Kan. She remained with them for three years and left to study stenography. After finishing her studies she went in April, 1892, to Denver and took charge of an agency for the Singer Manufacturin Company. After a yéar they transferr her to Omaha. She gave up the business and came to St. Louis where she got em- ployment as traveling saleslady through Central Missouri for the Greeley-Burn- ham Grocery cCo., stayed with the firm when it became the Scudder-Gale Grocer Co., and finally went to the James M. Hous- ton Grocer Co. Giving up the grocery busi- ness on account of the hardship of travel she contracted with the New York Life In- surance Co., on April 1, 1896. She remained with the company until her health failed, then she took the position of housekeeper on Plymouth avenue. “Well, what happened Sunday morning, Dec. 6?" : “The first thing I knew somebody knocked at my door. I asked who was there. She answered, ‘Mrs. William L. Hill.’ I told her she could not come in; to step down in the parlor until I had dressed. She placed her weight against the door and forced it.

ENNIS’ She Was One of Four Women Held Up by Two Men in a Buggy. William Walters and James Connolly have been identified as the men who committed four daylight robberies. All of their vic- tims were women and their prizes were pocket-books. They have been identified as the two men who committed the mysterious robbery at Laclede avenue and Sarah street Sunday, about which the Seventh District Potice knew nothing until the Post-Dispatch forced it to their attention Monday. Miss Mary Ennis of 123 South Compton avenue appeared at the Four Courts Tues- day and procured a warrant charging the two prisoners with highway ropbery and told of her exciting encounter with the thieves. She was walking along Laclede avenue Sunday at 3:30 p. m. with her 7-sear-old niece, Agnes Ennis, and near Sarin street noticed the approach of the two men, both with their hats down over their eyes. One was in a buggy, driving close to the curb; while the other was on the sidewalk. She suspected something was wrong about the men, but before she could formu- late a plan of retreat the man on tlie side- walk, whom she has since identified as Con- nolly, grabbed at the purse she ca@ried in her hand. She screamed and held to the purse, but he wrested it from her. Then he caught sight of the large soll- taire diamond ring on her finger and he grabbed for her hand. He caugint it end was attempting to pull the ring from the finger when a man came running towards them from around Sarah street. Miss Ennis « fought persistently and screamed, while Little Agnes tugged at the skirts of her aunt and jumped up and down on the sidewalk, screaming. The man in the buggy yelled to Connolly to get in the buggy quickly, as some one was coming. Connolly released the young woman and joined his companion in the buggy. They drove rapidly down Laciele The purse they secured from Miss Ennis contained $2.40. A half hour later the same men stopped at Jefferson avenue and Caroline stceet and Connolly jumped out. He rushed up to Miss Mamie Thompson of 14% South Seventh street, who was crossing Jefferson avenue, and grabbed her purse containing about cents. There were at least twenty persons near by and all of them saw the subbery, but it was accomplished so quickly that the robber got back in the buggy and they drove away before any one could reach them. Warrants were issued Monday, charging Connolly and Walters with robbing Miss ‘EXPERIENCE. | Lottie Crawford and Miss Laura Litzan of Clayton road in the same manner. Connelly and Walters were arrested Sun- day night by Patrolman John Glynn. Chief Harrigan says the arrest is one of the best that has been made by the department for some timo. At the police station the purse taken from Miss Ennis was found in Walter's pocket. Both men say they can prove alibis, but in = cases the identifications have been posi- tive. _FIRE AND PANIC. At Least Thirty Persons Burned to Death in a Charitable Bazaar at Paris. | PARIS, May 4—Fire broke out at 4 o'clock this afternoon in a crowded chari- table bazar in the ‘Rue Jean-Coujon, at which the Duchess d’Uzes and other well- known patronesses were present. Many people were burned to death and there was a terrible panic, during which a number of persons were injured. Thirty bodies have been recovered. Thir- ty-five injured people are being cared for by physicians and many are reported missing. STOLE POISON ALCOHOL. Now Two of the Men Who Drank It Are Dead. HUNTINGTON, IIL, May 4.—Perry Kauff- man, Wm. Davis and John Drabenstott stole some alcohol from the drug store of F. F. Yoos, and a few hours later, swallow- ing the drug, all three became violently sick. Kauffman and Davis died last night and Drabenstott is at the point of death. The. drug they drank was found to be pyroxylic alcohol, a deadly poison, intended for mechanical purposes only. _——_— COULDN'T TAKE A JOKE. Bridegroom Killed a Member of a Charivari Party. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MILAN, Mo., May 4.—Marion Glass, living six miles north of Green City, in the east- ern part of this county, shot and killed Ray Fear last night. Glass Was recently mar- ried, and a party of neighbors went to his house last night to charivari him, when he stuck a gun out of the window and fired, killing young Fear instantly. Sheriff Lee was summoned there this morning to place him under arrest. THREE BOUNCING BABIES. Born at a Birth, and One of Them Has Three Eyes. Epecital to the Post-Dispatch. MATTEAWAN, N. Y., May 4—The wife of John Higgs. at Glanham, has become the mother of three bouncing babies of ten pounds each. What ts still more remarkable about this event ts that one of the Infants has three eyes, one of them being located just above the bridge of the nose, while the other two eyes are in their regular posi- tions. QONTINUED ON PAGE TWO el BATTLE. NEAR PENTEPIGADIA SIX THOUSAND GREEKS ENGAGED BY THE TURKS. SITUATION AT VELESTINO. The Greeks Are Strongly Entrenched There and the Turks Delay Their Attack. LONDON, May 4.—A special dispatch fe- ceived here from Arta this afternoon says that a force of 6,000 Greeks, commanded by Col. Bairactharis, while advancing on Pen- tepigadia, has been engaged by the Turks, A battle, according to this dispatch, is now in progress. GREEKS AT VALESTINO. Turks Have Avoided Any Further At- tack Upon Them, ATHENS, May 4.—A dispatch from Phar- sala says the Turks have avoided making any further attack upon Velestino, content- ing themselves with neconnoltering the neighborhood of the place. The Greeks, it is announced, occupy strong positions, which enable them to re-« pulse superior forces. _ KING’S SPECULATION. Charges That He Has Cleared Millions in the Bond Market. PARIS, May 4.—The Gil Blas says the King of Greece used the crisis in the af- fairs of his country to speculate in Greek and Turkish bonds, with the result that he has cleared from 30,000,000 to 36,000,000 francs. SITUATION SUMMED UP. Battles Seem Bound to Occur Near Volo and Pharsala. ATHENS, May 4.—The chief points of in- terest in the war situation may be presented thus: First, that the decision of the Ministers who visited the Greek frontier seems to be. in favor of a continuance of the war, and, second, that fighting continued almost in- cessantly at Velestino from last Thursday until Sunday, with the result that Gen. Smolenski has been prevented from actually asstiming Ris new duties as chief of staff. As a further result, the Greeks at Veles- tino have managed to retain their positions. but they are-too much fatigued to follow up their success. Altogether fourteen officers have been re- called from Crete to pe sent two Theealy. All the best officers are being sent to the front, nor is there any intention yet 4is- played to evacuate Cretu. The Turkish army is advancing in three columns at Pharsala, while an additional column is operating in the «irection of Volo. As the Volo column could easily take Ve- lestino in the rear the ‘jreek position is pre- carious. This explains the retention of Gen, Smolenski there, a# it was naturai to ex- pect him to go to Pharsala to assume su- preme command. It is said on good authority that the pow- ers have made overtures to Greece on the subject of peace, but that the Government deciines to invoke the mediation of Fourope. The King has decided to remain here for the present. It appears that the Turks asked an armis- tice in order to bury their dead. The re- aquest was referred to the commander-in- chief, from whom no definite reply ts forthcoming, but the armistice is tacitly observed. The Greeks speak with emotion of the enemy's gallantry. NEW YORK, May 4—A dispatch from Volo to the Journa! says: The situation here seems to be improving under the com of Smolenski, who did so well with the ar- tillery at Reven!. The Greek troops seem {> have a better chance of holding the ground which remains. The army ts divided into three divisions. Twelve thousand, under command of Smolenski, are at. Velestino to defend the approach to Volo. Five thousand men are encamped at Pharsala, and the rest of the army, with Prince Constantine 10, - mo in number, is at Domokos, south of Pharsala. These last will have to with- stand an attack of the Turks from Trike ala. xirne Greek fleet has just arrived fn the harbor and the panic which prevailed for the last three days is lessened. hree crulsers—one French, one English and one Italian—are also here. APPEAL TO GLADSTONE. Princess of Wales Will Ask Him to Use His Influence. LONDON, May 4.—The report that the Princess of Wales was using her utmost In- fluence to bring about English intervention in favor of Greece in the East is corrobor ated by the London press. The Princess, accompanied by the Prince, takea the un precedented course of asking the assistance of Mr. Gladatone.

EVERYTHING IN READINESS. Wednesday Will Be a Busy Day for Members of the Reception Committee. The beautiful weather which promises to hold all the week is a source of delight to the 8t. Louis Turners. The preparations for their great festival are about complete, and the various com- mittees have little to do but attend upon the arrival of the expected guests. The unpleasant weather of the past week retarded the work of decoration, but Tues- day morning the liberal display of bunting showed that the work had well advanced. The various Turner halls of the city were brilliant in color, and presented a gala day appearance. Music Hall, too, was being elaborately decorated Tuesday morn- ing, but the chief display of bunting is at the Fair Grounds, all the buildings of which except the Club-house having been given over to the Turners by the Association au~- thorities Down town a number of buildings are showing color. The buildings of the Ger- man newspapers are ablaze with red and black and yelldw, and some of the hotels at which delegations are to stay, have decorated more or less. On the day of the parade it is hoped there will be a general isplay of bunting along the route. xcept the Los Angeles (Cal.) contingent, which arrived Monday, there have been no organized bodies to appear, but Wednesday afternoon will witness a big influx. Two or three special train loads from Milwaukee will arrive at 4 o’clock and an equal num- pee from Cincinnati will come in the even- ng. These two cities, President Muench thinks, will send in the largest number of visitors. There are more Turners there than anywhere else, except St. Louis, and from Chicago and Cincinnati the visitors have received the exceptionally low rate of for the round trip. Rates have been liberal from all points except California. The Los pngeles Turners now here paid full fare, $101, for the round trip. Another large delegation of Californians will arrive Wednesday evening. These are the Turners from San Francisco. They are a splendid body of men—all rich, or well- to-do, and lavish in their expenditures like all Californians. They are coming in special Pullman cars. Another rich and imposing set of Turners will be those from Chicago, They have a oe organization of €00 members, all of whom will probably be here. engaged quarters at the Southern. Miss Ellen La Garde, the one lady mem- ber of the Observation Committee, will ar- rive Tuesday evening. She will be received by Dr. Starkloff and other members of the Reception Committee. . Mr. Hugo Muench, Chairman of the Ex- ecutive Committee, said Tuesday: ‘‘We be- lieve our work is done, and it now only re- mains to carry through the greatest de- monstration of its kind ever witnessed in this country. It has been hard work, but out St. Louis turners are enthusiastic, and bent on making this festival the greatest yet held in America. After the physical exercises are over this week and we begin to entertain our guests we shall try to do it in good shape. There will be suburban excursions and Volksfests in the country. Next Tuesday evening the big steamer City of vidence will take the visitors or as many as can get on board of her, on an ex- cursion down the river. There will also be a grand excursion and Volksfest at Meramec Highlands on Tuesday afternoon, “The Southern . Blectric Co, have placed their handsome parlor excursion car at the disposal of the principal officers and visitors for an excursion to Jefferson Bar- racks on Monday. There will be plenty of other entertainménts of a more private nature, to say nothing of the musical en- tertainments which will be evening features of the week’s festivities.,’’ BURIAL PERMITS.

Policeman Found the Body Near Syl- van Lake With a Bullet in the Head. A man supposed to be Aaron Landauer, President of the Landauer Commission Co., committed suicide in Forest Park Tuesday noon. The body was found near Sylvan lake. There was a bullet hole in the head. Two letters were found in the coat pocket both addressed to Aaron Landauer. One was from Attorney Charles Nagle and related to a suit against Landauer by the Fourth National Rank, Another letter was signed by Charles F. Vogel, and mentioned the transfer of some property at 3763 Cook avenue. ere The letters were addressed to Aaron Landauer, at 3132 Carr street. The directory gives his address as 2222 Carr. The body was discovered by Mounted Po- liceman Walsh. It was still warm and was taken to the Mounted Station and a call sent for the dead wagon. Charles Nagel, of the law firm of Nagel & Kirby, sald: ‘“‘We had some business dealings with Mr. Landauer about two years ago. He and his brother conducted a small commission store, but became deeply indebted to the Fourth National Bank and turned over their property to that institution. The bank’s claim was not satisfied, and about. three months ago it secured judgment for what remained of their claim.” MAMIE DYER ON THE STAND.

I had no place else to put them. Her exact words were ‘My God, what ts this!’ She picked them up and tore them to bits. ; ‘“‘After that she drew a pistol, showed it to me and said: ‘I’ve a notion to blow your head off right here.’ ”’ During this statement Mrs. Hill turned waite as marble and her face set in hard nes. A description of the smashing of the watch and Mrs. Hill’s subsequent move- ments after leaving Miss Dyer’s room were described. The cerrespondence between Miss Dyer and Mr. Hill was introduced. Miss Dyer said it was the only correspondence that had ever passed between them. A long probing into Miss Dyer’s business connec- tion revealed nothing except that she had received a loan of $10 and a loan of $25 from the New York Life Insurance Co. and had an invitation to resume her duties when her health permitted. Mr. Young then led Miss Dyer to talk about her acquaintance with Mr. Hill. ‘“‘How often did he call at your house?” “Four times,’’ “Tell the circumstances.” “‘The first time he came was in the even- ing. I did not see him as | was dressing to go out. The next time he came was in the evening. . We were all sitting on the lawn. Mr. Hill drove by and asked me if I would take a drive.

He came again one Sunday afternoon, Attorney Johnson cross-examined Miss Dyer with insinuating cruelty. He was suave but his questions cut like a lance. If they made her wince she did not show it for she was as self-possessed after an hour on the rack as when she mounted the witness stand. Miss Dyer’s business training stood her in good stead. Her voice is metallic and she answered in a snappy fashion. She answer. Some of the things she had to talk about were decidedly unpleasant. “How old are you?” began Lawyer John- son. “Twenty-seven,” she replied, breaking into a good-natured smile. ee ee a commercial traveler?’ es. : “You traveled about in different towns, taking day and night trains, stopping at public hotels, meeting men, making ac- quaintances and soliciting business?"’ Mr. Johnson asked the question blandly, but there was a wealth of significance in it. “I did,”’ said Miss Dyer, resolutely. Her business career was gone over again. Mr. Johnson was particular about the in- surance business; her duties and her com- pensation. He laid particular stress on the fact that her compensation was only part of the first payment. Then he brought up her visits to Mr. Hill's office; who she met there, how often she went, what she did. Miss Dyer always had an answer. Her money transactiong with Mr. Hill were rehearsed. Mr. Johnson wanted to know when and how she first borrowed money from Mr. Hill. “T was sick and needed money. So I borrowed $10.’’ “Did you give a note or security?’ ‘T offered Mr. Hill my watch, but he ree fused it.’’ “Then it was a personal loan and not from the company?” ‘T regarded it as from the company.”’ ‘‘Is the New York Life tn the business of loaning money on watches?” “Well, they hold more than a few.” “Now, Miss Dyer, did Mr. Hill ever buy whisky for you in his office?” “No: I bought it myself. I asked him to send for it.” “How did it happen that you were on such friendly terms with the manager of the New York Life that you used him to buy your whisky?" “T couldn't buy it at the drug store.and I needed it and asked him to send his boy for it.’”’ Mr. Johnson then switched over to the buggy rides and was beginning to ask tart questions when court adjourned over the noon hour. Lawyer Johnson was bitter and facetious in his review of the buggy rides. He wanted to know if the dog was along at ali times. It accompanied them only once. “That was the only companion you had?’ “Yes, sir.” a “Did you talk of Mrs. Hill?

The protracted Senatorial contest in Kentucky, resulting in the selection of a comparatively unkifown man, represent- ing no definite principles or policy, has greatly strengthened the demand for pop- ular election of Senators. It is not only the fact that the protract- ed balloting has cost the State $100,000, or the fact that Deboe stands for nothing definite, which moves the public mind to protest. It is the fact that the man who was for weeks the leading candidate be- fore the Legislature is now under indict- ment for aitempting to bribe members to vote for him. This fact is significant in itself, but when it is known that but for these indictments Hunter would have heen elected, its effect upon the public mind is made all the stronger. It is not a revelation that men who could never hope to reach the Senate through their party convention and at the ballot box have reached that body through bribery, the use of patronage or other unworthy, means. The people have long been aware of the fact that there are men in the Senate absolutely without a constituency behind them, and their ir- responsibility has aroused the public mind to a keener appreciation of the dangers of the caucus system. Much has been patiently borne. But it is evident that the end is now near, and that a constitutional amendment providing for the election of Senators by popular vote will soon be adopted. — @¢ —-——_————— THE HUMPHREY BIL1Us. Supporters of the Humphréy bills of in- famy in Illinois are said to be willing to yield the Street Railway State Commis’ sion bill if they can get through the c ® extending their charters fifty years. riety propose, in other words, to give awa one is clear, as Senator Morgan S84ys, that Spanish policy in Cuba is one of starva- tion. If Cuba is left to her fate that policy may succeed. But recognition by the United States will give the Cubans 4 standing, an encouragement and a moral support that will enable them to bring the war to 4 speedy and victorious close. The Morgan. resolution should be forced to a. vote and passed. It reflects the public sentiment of this country. | Ne ee THE SCHOOL BOARD TICKETS. Sehool Board tiekets are now filed, The > mains for the voters to make and it re : f a set of directors to look their choice o nagg y chage after the educational interes public schools, the 1,500 teachers and the 70.000 St. Louis children who attend these schools. The new directors will have the supervision of a school system that costs the city $1,500,000 annually. All can see that this is a system that involves the highest responsibility and demands the best talent. It is a system that is greater than any private industry in St. Louis, and its mismanagement is attended with more disastrous conse- to more individuals than the mismanagement of any single inter- est in the city, because those for whose benefit it is carried on are the voung and the helpless, upon whom the city depends for its future citizenship. There is plenty of good material for a competent and disinterested set of school directors in the four tickets that have been placed in the field. Voters can make a careful selection, based upon the known record of such candidates as are seeking re-election, and upon the infor- mation that has been published about the new candidates. The Post-Dispatch believes that most of the persons named in the Citizens’ Democratic ticket would make a Board of Directors satisfactory in all respects. No voter who has watched the course of events can conscientiously vote either of the other tickets “straight.” All three are open to suspicion for causes that have already been explained. They afford excellent opportunity intelligent “scratching.” It will be proof of the most culpable negligence if decent citizens fail to turn out and poll a heavy vote at the coming school election. The people have a long- desired opportunity to assert themselves and purify the School Board. Will they do so? ; quences for ——_——_—_ > -o— LIKEWISE IND The Democrats have made more gen- eral and more decided gains at the local elections in Indiana than in those of any other State that has voted this year. Democratic gains at such elections all over the country have been not only gen- eral, but extraordinary. Wherever party lines have been clearly drawn the result has been Republican loss and Democrat- ic gain. Such was the result in the town elections of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, of Ohio, Iowa and Illinois. The Indiana town elections show larger percentages of Republican loss and Dem- ocratic gain than in any of the other States. Like causes, operating in Indiana, have produced like effects. Hard times, want of employment, the disappointments of business men and other evils which Re- publicans promised to remove, but have intensified, were at work there, as in every other State, without reference to sectional lines. But there is another consideration which makes this result in Indiana po- culiarly significant. Indiana was, be- yond doubt, one of the States which the people carried for Bryan at the polls, but which was delivered to Hanna and Mc- Kinley through the purchased midnight scoundrelism of election officers. The re- sult of these elections cannot, then, be called a revolution so much as evidence proving the crime of last year. Itisa repudiation of both the methods and the policies of McKinleyism. Indiana is Democratic. She was Dem- ocratic last vear on the issues of that campaign, and she will remain Demo- cratic until those issues are settled and settled right. ———————_— oe —___——- Victorig ,esitates to invite President Faur” Fran. to her festivities, be- cau !f Faure Wore invited she would he *@ to invite Presicant McKinley, who, -. is supposed, would expéct to be treated as the equal of the Czar and Other impe- rial persons who are Jooked upon as of great importance in the courts of Europe.

It deprives communities of the right of purchase, of the right to reduce fares and of other rights inherent in the municipalities which granted the charters, which have given the charters their value, and which are entitled to a voice in their regulation and control, The opponents of these bills of infamy should not compromise. The fact that the corporations are willing to compro- mise is evidence that they know them- selves to be beaten if the fight is main- tained and no quarter is given. It is pos- sible that the Commission bill was only drawn and put through the Senate to be thrown over in the House if necessary to save the fifty-year bill, which is the vital one from the corporation point of view, The Humphrey bills should be beaten Acta stand. Don't compromise with OUR DUTY TO CUBA. Despite the assurance of Senator Hale of Maine that there is no purpose to de- lay cotisideration of the Morgan resolu- tion to recognize Cuban belligerency de- lay continues. There may or may not he “urpose and method in the repeated post. Yement of consideration of the .resoly- hut it is significant that the alleged ‘y of delay is always urged by : v England Senator. Ana New Eyigiara fs commonly understood to have @ selfish interest in the continuance of Spanish rule in the island. When the resolution was calle Tuesday Senator Hale of Maine, object. ing to immediate consideration, said that a recognition of their belligerency would only intensify the miseries of the people. But recognition is not urged as present condi-, } d up tend the royal jubilee. If they knew over there about Gov. Tanner and his gaudy staff they might send an invitation to Springfield. The Czar would scarcely expect to take precedence of so much grandeur. eg The Associated Press dispatches ap- pear in the afternoon in the Post-Dis- patch only. No other afternoon paper in St. Louis has them. The wide field covered by these telegrams makes them very valuable, and since the retirement of the United Press Association they are an absolute necessity to any journal pre- tending to serve its readers well. a -_ wal Mr. Hoar’s admission that domestic wool may be so stimulated that the mar- ket will be glutted and investors lose their money, is not surprising. The high tariff scheme has long been recognized as an industrial intoxication, with penal- ties as certain as those that follow a spree in the flesh. Whatever may be doubtful as to the circulation of other newspapers, there can be no doubt about the great circula- tion of the Post-Dispatch. Investigat- ing advertisers will find the Post-Dis- patch’s circulation in St. Louis far ex- ceeding that of any local competitor. ———? — -O ———___—_———" The Grecian.

From the Washington Post. TRe millions who partake of the de- lightful ‘“‘drink that cheers but not ine- briates,’” should be interested in an act of Congress which, going into effect to- day, promises them some degree of protec- tion against injurious adulterations and poisonous coloring matter. This measure provides that the collectors of customs at New York, San Francisco and Chicago shall be supplied with standard samples of tea prepared once a year by a board of offi- cial experts appointed for that purpose; that all imports of tea shall be held in ware- houses until they have been tested by duly qualified examiners, and that consignmeni:s which fall short of the established standards shall be either sent out of the country cr | destroyed.

William Schenck of Pine Grove, Wis., has just escaped the monotony of never making a mistake.

He is 8 years old, and the townsmen intend to keep him in office for life, He was born in New Jersey. Fourier’s 125th birthday was celebrated by a band of Paris Fourierists recently. They marched to his tomb in Montmartre Cemetery, where speeches were made—one by Mme. Endes, 91 years of age, who had been a member of the original phalanstere. In the evening there was a banquet in the Palais Royal, where a gift of $10,000 to the cause of Fourierism was announced. Judge Levi Davis, who died the other day at Alton, Ill, was in early life the best- known lawyer in Illinois. He was promi- nent in politics as a Whig leader, and served two terms as State Auditor just before and after the capital was moved from Vandalia to Springfield, one term under a Whig and one under a Democratic Administration, the office being appointive at that time. He was a friend and associate of Lincoln, Douglas and Trumbull, and was a comrade of the former in the Black Hawk war, in 1832. WOMEN OF NOTE. Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, widow of the famous General, recently took part in deco- rating the graves of the Confederate dead in Alabama, Miss Frances EB.

She is but 15 years old, but she has a fluent command of the Chinese language, and is able to interpret the most complicated diplomatic matters, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Cleveland were total abstainers during their reign in the White House. Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Cleveland never furnished wine to their guests, except at State dinners, when their husbands wished wines to be served. It is said Mrs, Grant was the first woman to move against having wine in the White House. Mrs. McKinley is a total abstainer. Queen Natalie is considered the most beautiful Queen in Evrope. Her greatest charm is her exquisitely shaped neck, which is said to resemble that of Venus of Milo. The means she’employs to protect it against the ravages of time is simple enough to be practiced by any one. It fs said that every morning she takes a brisk walk in the grounds of her palace, near Belgrade, with a heavy’ pitcher on her head.

The announcement is calmly made that in sending gold abroad we are nearer the position of a debtor than a creditor country. Many quecr excuses are made, indeed, for the raid on the Treasury gold that bas already mildly commenced, and which ly likely to be startling before it is over. Thé@ gold brokers have been quiet for campaign | purposes about as lorg as they believe is justified by their material | interests. : # Whether money lg abundant4n New York , or not, the gold wMoper are prone to take » the yellow dollars ottt of the Subtreasury, | because that can be done by the mere presentation of greenbacks. Besides this. fact, if the withdrawal is kept up long enough it may be considered necessary for the Secretary of the Treasury to issue more bonds for capitalists to speculate in. The abundance of money in the banks In New York and elsewhere is no sign that it is plentiful among the people. On the con- trary, itis evidence that the people cannot get it to capitalize their enterprises. The scarce metal is made the foundation of all money. It follows that money is scarce and dear and looked upon as too precious to let out. The fact that there is.idle money in the banks is an indication that the people are idle for the want of it. The main use to which it is to be put is speculation in the necessities the Government imposes on it- self by its “scarce money”’ policy. There ought to be so much circulating medium—money of redemption-—in_ this country that it could not be cornered; so much that a goodly portion of it would bé in the stockings and chimney corners of the common people instead of all of it in the safes of the capitalists, waiting for the Government to run short of the redeeming metal. There cannot be enough money while the only money of redemption its gold, and that is scarce. The plenitude of money in the banks and the scarcity of it among the people is one of the striking evidences that there is not enough money. She Recalled McGinty. From the Detroit Free Press. One day in my wandering along the Clover fork of the Cumberland River I stopped at a farm-house to get dinner, and as I sat in the shade of the porch waiting, I was whist- ling for lack of thought and something else to do, the reading supply of the estab- lishment being painfully short. My hostess was knocking around inside, getting din- ner ready, and evidently heard my sweet and gentle melodies, for she stuck her head out of the door. “Do yer whistle by note, mister,”’ she in- quired, “‘er jist simultaneous like?’ ‘Mostly simultaneous like,’’ I responded, laughing. “I never heard them chunes afore,” she went on, “‘an’ I kinder had an ide they wuz book chunes got out fer extry.”’ “Oh, no,”’ I assured her, “they are merely little bits from the popular airs of the day, that everybody whistles.’’ “"S that so?’ she asked in surprise. hain’t never heerd ’em up this What's ther names?” “Well, ‘Comrades,’ ‘Annie Rooney,’ ‘Mag- gie Murphy’s Home,’ ‘Ta-ra Boom,’ ‘Mc- Ginty’ and so forth.

To make lemon extract, pare or ate the yellow rind of the lemon; it the yellow part that contains the essential oil of the fruit. Be very careful to avoid the white underlying skin, which is very bitter and would spoil the delicacy of the flavor. Put the grated rind in a bottle and cover it with alcohol or simple syrup, or both, in equal parts; then cork the bottle gnuy and let stand for three weeks, after which it is ready for use.

In the interest of the rising generation, in the interest of Democracy, it is proper that youth should be instructed not only in the arts, but in political economy; and that economy can be found, not in the Re- publican party principles, but in the prin- ciples of that party that holds for its basis the doctrine of Jefferson. “But,” you will say, “look at Cleveland.” We are looking at him, or rather we are tired of looking at him; but Cleveland is not a Democrat nor was he a Democrat in the last four years. He is the result of trying to affiliate corporate wealth with the Democratic party, an operation that has never been performed successfully so far, nor will it ever be performed until wealth accedes to the policies of Democracy, submits to popular rule. The beguiled fool of last campaign sees it now; he sees his mistake; so does every one see it. The men that voted right the last campaign had some fdea of the un- reasonableness of the Republican platform. That's what made them vote right. The youth of the country acknowledges the mis- také of the majority and if he had a chance at present he would try to retrieve the less of the Democratic party and vote ht, too. So now is the time to strike—while the iron is hot. Instruct youth into the modus operandi of Democracy and in 1900 the vic- tory will be so great as to surpass any poll- tical triumph of the past. St. Louis, May 3. A VOTER. “Unearned Increment.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In the Sunday Post-Dispatch of May 2 was the interesting story of Ernest Terah Hooley, the English “promoter,” who made $10,000,000 in three days by acting as go-be- tween or broker for capitalists. He bought something which he did not want or intend to keep for men who might have bought it themselves, and raked in a fortune from rich dupes, who, in turn, expect to dupe some one else and acquire fortunes for themselves, This is a species of “unearned incre. ment,’ and I fall to see how the single tax is going to stop it. In fact, I understand the Single taxers don’t expect to stop it. The National Single Taxer, the organ of the Henry George people, publishes the adver- tisement of Dimock & Co. New York brokers, whose business It is grab this sort of unearned increment on every possible occasion. Now this $10,000,000 will all have to be earned in the sweat of their brows by the working men. If there is a demand for the industry that is the basis for these capital- istic movements it would have been siarted sooner or later anyway. This “promoter has simply hurried it up a ttle, and for his three dave strain of nerve and brain he rakes in $10,000,000, which thousands of workingmen will have to strain brain, nerve and muscle for months or years to produce. In a properly organized: State, where the people managed their own industries, every penny of this “unearned increment” would 60 to the workers. JONAT St. Louis, May 3.

Indiana Cannot Prevent “‘Continuous” Racing as Now Proposed. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 4.—Attorney- General Ketcham makes the announcement that he does not see his way clear to inter- fere with the continuous racing proposed in Lake County under the new arrangements with the tracks at Forsyth, Hammond and Crown Point. “Two years ago, when they were racing at Roby, Sheffield and Forsyth, all tracks being adjacent,” says Mr. etcham. “I went before the Supreme Court and insisted that the tracks were practicaliy one and the same within the understanding of the law. The Supreme Court upheld my position, and stopped the continuous racing, but with the tracks separated miles apart, as they are now proposed, I do not see how I can claim hey are same,”’ This will weoery settle all opposition to continuous racing from this locality. NOT IN THE RACING LINE. Cross Country Cyclers Decline the Challenge of the Twenty-five Club.

But his release could not be archased from Louisville for a — wado money, nougs there are players in the . league who insist that Cunny’s wing atill ruffied.— Washington Post, A Baltimore paper has th to say of a St. Louls boy playing with t } Orioles: “Joe Quinn's playing at third wm little short of wonderful under the circumstances, For years he played only second base, an played there during nearly all the exhibition games this spring. To be pamseery shifted to third, a most Aifticult osition for those who are trained for it, and play it as he has is simply wonderful.

We suc- " to the petition, ING DIES HARD —_ BIG PETITION TO GET ITS TICKET ON THE BALLOT. SOME OF THE CANDIDATES. Three of Them Are Identified With the Crowd That Is in Need of Reform. The School Board ring dies hard. It is represented on the ticket filed Mon- day for the approaching election, under the caption “Liberal Ticket.”’ The members of the ring started the fight to elect it. The ticket has a sufficiently strong fol- lowing to be dangerous. This is evidenced by the 2,40 signatures attached to its pe- tition. In the matter of signatures, it stands next to the Citizens’ Democratic ticket, which-bore over 3,000. is Those who filed the “Liberal Ticket hoasted loudly at the Election Commis- sioners’ office Monday of the number of signatures they had obtained. They werte Ssoaiy C, Koenig, John P. Collins. Robert Paulus, John J. Latal and Emil Hartmann, son of Ignatz Hartmann; one of the candidates. The working element of the Republican party is depended upon the puil che ticket through. because the working clement 1s paid to begijssatisfied with the Filley-Wood- ward ticket, officially known as the ‘“non- partisan,” and can expect little from the men on the other Republican ticket, headed by School Director John Kissner. Of the twelve men on the ring ticket, Henry C. Koenig, John P. Collins and Rob- ert Paulus are school directors. They rep- resent the ring, Paulus not so much as the two others, because he has been in the board too short a time to have identified himself with it. However, he has voted with the ring ever since his election last fall as successor to H. H. Rebenach, who was ousted by the Supreme Court. have already John P. Collins is making the race as a Democrat. There are two other Democrats on the ticket, Albert Weber of A. Weber & Co.,- and Joseph Murphy of 7718 South Broadway. Collins has been a member of the School Board many years. When the Bus faction secured control he voted with the Democrats. He helped to hold the rin down in its effort to manipulate the specia election to fill the vacancy caused by John H. Dieckman’s resignation. The ring landed in jail at Jefferson City, because, in their anxiety to control the election, the members of it placed themselves in contempt of the Supreme Court. Collins was not idle in the movement that sent them to Jefferson City. ¢ When Henry Bus became a candidate for re-election as President of the Board, Col- lins veered and gave his support to the his vote for Bus for the presi- dency, he has voted with the ring on all im- portant questions in which politics were not involved. It was on Collins’ motion, after the in- candescent boiler deal fell through in the Board, that the Peck-Williamson Heating & Ventilating Company was given the contract for heating four public schools. The contract was let without competition and without any notice. Collins’ motion was a surprise even to members of the Board. The circumstances of the award caused the injunction proceedings against the Board, which were thrown out of court but which resulted in the Civic Federation School reform law, the aim of which was to give the public some protection against unfair and questionable methods in the Board. Henry C. Koenig is in a measure identified with Collins in the board, just as the two are identified with the ring ticket filed Mon- day. Koenig was investigated by the board on account of exposures in the Post-Dis- egy to the effect that his brother-in- aw, a school contractor, was paying car- penters on the school work not more than half the wages they were allowed by the board and which his brother-in-law col- lected from the board for them. The charge was made by Bernard Huelsman, an ex- employe of the brother-in-law, that he had heen told -by Koenig that although the hoard paid contractors 40 cents an hour for each carpenter employed, but 20 cents an shour could be oaid him. It was charged also that Koenig sent the man to is brother-in-law with the request that he give him a job. John P. Collins was chairman of the com- mittee which investigated the allegations. At the first session Collins’ rulings made it plain that -neither Koenig nor Waters was being investigated, in the opinion of the committee, but the man who made the charwes. The result was a whitewash. Certain members of the committee were dissatisfied and threatened a minority re- port until Collins and President Bus prom- ised that the rules of the board should be changed to prevent the possibility of fraud, such as was charged, from being perpe- trated upon the board and carpenters. The change was never made, Koenig is one of the members of the board who passed ten days in jail at Jef- ferson City for aontemp" of court. It is known that one of the Republicans In the board, who always voted with the ring on politieal matters, refused to be a candl- date for re-election to the board this time, on the same ticket with him, Collins, when he appeared at the Election Commissioners’ office Monday, called a Post-Dispateh reporter asiae and said: “I want you to stop identifying me with the School Board rins- I am not a member he ring.”’ Paes a have voted with the ring ever since Bus placed you of the Building Com- mittee, on-al] ‘mportant questions.”’ “That is nJt a fact. I know of no ring in the board. And I know of no corruption. I am gettirg nothing out of the board. I am not « Contractor and have nothing to sell to ene rd. I want you to stop throwing out inuendos against me. It is hurting my busi- ness, I don't want any more of it. TI have done nothing in the board to be ashamed of. and | don't want to be slurred this wav.”’ Director Koenig came up and remarked: “Now, treat us nicely. I'm a business man and I'm not running for the School Board for what ‘there is in it.’’ ‘ohn J. Latal made a similar statement, saying that he had been in business in St. — many years, and could retire at any time. Young Hartmann stated that his father, instead of being a Democrat, as had been stated, was a life-long Republican, “Not that to.be a Democrat is anything to be ashamed of,’ added Hartmann. Then he stated that Mr. Ignatz Hartmann, who i& a clothier, was one of the first Turners in St. houls, was a member of the South Broadway Merchants’ Association, and had been in business on South Broadway thirty- one years. He was born in Bohemia, in 1842 and came to St. Louis when 12 years old. He served through the civ) war and is a Member of several secret societies.

The manner in Which certain contractors, Qcting as agents for accident insurance companies, compel thelr employes to carry policies, is causing a vigorous protest from all classes of workingmen, The men name two firme of contractors which were formerly exclusively engaged in bullding ratiroads, but this season have erected some buildings... They say a victory for these means a general delivery into ac- cident insurance by builders and an extra tax on the men. The plan that is being tried is the posting about the premises on “ 2 we a i i i a —— See _ said ae) eee Te, ‘, A pfs, Re eee AR ay MR Pe for twenty-six weeks. ing in death brings to the heirs one-half the year’s wages of the deceased. _ For this the men are taxed on a sliding scale, according to what they earn, getting $1.0 a day pay 50 cents every two weeks, and $3.50 men pay $1.30 twice a month. This notice for the ‘“‘workingman’s own good” is not elective, but compulsory, as is shown by the significant paragraph at the foot of the notice asking all employes not desiring to take such insurance to report to the office at the close of the day on which they were employed and refused to sign the agreement. This has created an unpleasant stir in a number of quarters, an at one time a serious strike was only averted by the con- tracters waiving the obligation at the last hour. The matter has been efficiently brought before the different labor councils and a “reply” signed by every organization will be sent to the contractors. MR. ROSSI MUST PAY. Final Decision in the Case of the Mays and the $975.75 Draft. The Court of Appeals has decided against Mr. S. D. Rossi in the case of- Mrs. Eliza May No. 1 and Mrs. Eliza May No. 2 and a bank draft for $975.75. Mrs. Eliza May No. 1 lived in the vicinity of Rossi's place of business, Fifteenth and Market streets, for about eight years, and was well known to him. Mrs. Eliza May No. 2 moved to the city from New Haven, Conn., in January, 189%, leaving her money, amount- ing to $975.75, in the New Haven Bank. Mrs. May No. 2 wrote to the bank and gent them her book to have it balanced. so that she could close out the account. She lived then at 4109 Finney avenue. She did not, however, give her address, so the book was returned here to the general delivery and given by the Post-office authorities to Mrs. May No. 1, who proceeded to get the money. She sent a telegram to the New Haven bank to send her a draft for the amount, which the bank in due time dd. Mrs. May No. 1 then got Mr. Rossi to go to the Bank of Commerce with her to identifv her. The bank had its doubts about the draft, but as Mr. Rossi indorsed the draft they paid it in a day or two and Mrs. May No. 1 went off with the money and has not been heard of since. Mrs. May No. 2 grew tired of waiting for her money, so she drew on the New Haven bank, which dishonored the draft on the ground that it had been paid. Then an tnvestigation was made and it was found that the Mrs. May entitled to the money had not received it, and the Mrs. 4 May who was not entitled to it had gone off with the full amount. The New Haven bank charged it up to the New York bank on which it gave the draft. The New Yerk bank charged it to thatBank of Commerce and the Bank of Commerce sued Rossi and got judgment, which judg- ment the Court-of Appeals affirms. JAG BUILT OF COLOGNE. Maggie Wagner in the Hospital After a Sweet Time. Maggie Wagner, a pretty 18-year-old girl, was taken to the City Hospital with the sweetest-scentéd jag that institution ever saw. Maggie lives with her parents at 1015 North Thirteenth street, She is a seamstress in an Olive street tailoring establishment. On her way home from work Monday even- ing she stopped to visit her friend, Emma Schwartzman, who is employed in a booth at Union Market. Emma usually treats Maggie to ice cream soda, but it was so cool last night that she suggested ginger beer. There was a sedi- ment in the Hquid that was not attractive. Emma said cologne would. settle it. A liberal quantity was put in. It made the beer foam and sparkle and the fumes of the cologne mingling with those of ginger created a fragrant odor. Maggie raised the glass to her lips and @rained the contents—ginger beer, cologne, sediment and all. She smacked her lips and said it was good. Then she took another with her friend, Emma. Maggie managed to get home somehow, but her mind is not clear as to how she ac- complished it. Her parents were alarmed when she talked in a maudlin fashion, and finally fell over in a stupor. She was sent to the City Hospital where the stomach pump was applied. Tuesday morning Mag- gie was feeling badly. She said her head felt much Jarger than usual. She doesn’t think she was drunk, for she never used intoxicants. She says she will forego ginger beer in the future. Dr. Sutter says that cologne is about 9% per cent alcohol, and Maggie swallowed suf- ficient to stagger some of his oldest ine- briates. MORE MONEY FOR BEER. The Senate Tariff Bill Will Tax a St. Louis Industry Heavily. The proposed increase tax on beer, in- corporated in the Senate tariff bill, will make a difference of over $1,000,000 to the brewers in St. Louis, and through them to the consumers. The present tax is $1 a barrel, but a re- bate of 12% cents a barrel is allowed, so that but &7% cents a barrel is actually paid. The proposed additional tax is 50 cents a barrel, with nothing said about a rebate. This will make the gross tax $1.50 a bar- rel. Chief Deputy Cleveland of the Inter- nal Revenue Collector's office states that the probabilities are there wi:l be no re- bate in the new tax. There will be none wees especially provided + the new law. 8 18% the district covered by the Inter- Collectar at St. Louis pro- 9% barrels of beer, the our- put of thirty-eight breweries.

With the tax $1.50 a barrel, bate, the total tax for the entire district will be $3,366,974.62, and for St. Louis $3,- 290, 678.62. WARD ELECTIONS. Democratic Precinct Committeemen Will Name the Ward Members. Under the rules governing the Democratic City Central Committee, the precinct com- mitteemen will meet Tuesday night in their respective wards for the purpose of elect- ing two Democrats from each ward to be members of the City Democratic Executive Committee. The latter committee will meet Tuesday, May 28, for the purpose of organizing. Chairman Ed Devoy has declined, in ad- vance, to serve longer as the official head of the Executive Committee, and the honor is being fought for by the friends of John A. Lee and Given Campbell. Mr. Campbell is now Chairman of the Central Committee, but would serve in the position for which his name is entered. Democrats who are opposed to the present organization as being too cumbersome are not taking any interest in the so-calléd reorganization, believing that Tuesday night's election will make little change in the personne! of the committee.

AN OVATION ON THE SQUARE. The Opera Bouffe Commander of Po- lice Holds On in Spite of the New Mayor. Fritz Obst, Belleville’s impressive Chief of Police, will rule with iron hand another term. The City Council elected him on Monday afternoon by unanimous vote. Mayor Wink- ler was not consulted. Monday night there was a sauf-fest at Schirmer’s booze cafe on the Public Square. The gayety was unrestrained. The celebra- tion lasted all night. The gang gathered at early candle light and sent for Obst. He sent back word that he was feeding the cows, but would join them very soon. Half an hour later he put en a boiled shirt and two large guns and galloped to the Public Square. As he approached the band played ‘‘Hail to the Chief,” the gang yelled “‘Hooray fuer Unser Fritz,’”’ and the moon and stars stood still. The chief’s thin lips parted in a smile of triumph. “Ah ha!’ he muttered we've got ‘em.”’ He then bowed to the populace. Hello, fellers,’’ he said in his magnetic fashion. “Hello, Fritz,” some more. The chief dismounted and the gang car- ried him into the saloon on their shoulders. The proprietor stood at the end of the bar rubbing his fat hands together. Wilkommen, chents,”’ he said generally, but keeping his business eye on Obst. The chief knew it wasn’t for himself alone that the gang had congregated. - Fill up the trough, Schirmer,” he shout- qa. they answered and yelled The gang took a hop swim and surrounded the free lunch. “Vat’s the matter mit Fritz Obst?” quired Alderman Gebhardt of the Fift’. “He's all right,’”’ answered the gang. “Who's all right?’’ squeaked Christopher Columbus Knebelkamp of the Fuerst. “Fritz Obst,”’ yelled the gang. *“‘Who stands in mit the Council?” “Fritz Obst.”’ “Who advertised the town cheap?” “Fritz Obst.”’ “‘W'ho done his duty ve’n he’s in doubt?” “Fritz Obst.”’ ‘What's the matter wid the Council?” “It’s the real stuff.’’ : “What's the matter mit Vinkler?’’ ‘He's eas Ties ‘“‘What’s the matter mit Hans Schwarz?’ yelled Hans himself. *‘He is our baby.’”’ That was what in- got Fritz Kern mad. “Look here, youse fellers,’’ he shouted, “‘whutter we here fer, huh? If it’s to trun the green around Hans Schwarz’ nut, you want to count me out, see! Hans ain’t the aa A bubble in the mug, see!’’ e then shoved his lower jaw out into space and looked quite terrible. Schwarz grabbed a section of liver wuerst, and it looked for an instant as if the two intellectual giants would do battle, but the gang separated them and another turn at the trough made them forget their petty jealousies. At 4 a. m. the party broke up and the gang separated, wishing Chief Fritz Obst many happy returns of the day. At the Council meeting Mayor Winkler showed that he considered Obst unfit by first proposing the names of James W. Mc- Cullough and J. S. Corwin, both good men, but born in this country. The Council promptly and cheerfully turned them down. The Mayor then meékly submitted and named Obst. The other appointments were as follows: Street Superintendent. J. 8. Doyle; Weigh- er and Marketmaster, Frank Becker; Boiler Inspector, Stephen Ehret; Chief of Fire De- partment, William Nebgen; City Engineer, Louis Graner; Sexton, W. R. James; Jani- tor City Hall, Henry Vogel; Janitor Market Square and Police Station, Martin Keck; Health Officer, Charles A. Starkel; Coal Oil Inspector, John Maier; Captain of Po- lice, Con, Yaeckel; Sergeant, Fred Daubach; Patrolmen, Tom Wade, Ad Gruenewalhd, Henry Dewald, Hermann Rock. Ad Well- muenster, Louis Rohr, Ph. Brown, Julius Frick, William Kaufmann, Jac, Grossmann, William Letter, Jos. Kaufmann and Henry Wasem; Drivers, Reel No. 1, Henry Kunz; No. 2, James Gall; No. 3, Charles Wade; Hook and Ladder, Martin Keck. In his message Maj. Winkler referred to many lines of public improvement which he considered desirable and pledged himself to give the people an economical but pro- gressive administration. Notwithstanding George Rausckolb is contesting the eloction of George Seib in the First Ward, the Council allowed the latter to take his seat. SAY HAGAN WAS DRUNK. French Song and Dance Team Have a Row With a Manager. Paulo and Dika, a French couple, well known on the vaudeville stage, began an en. gagement at the Hagan Opera-house Mon- day afternoon and terminated it a few min- utes later, after a quarrel] with Manager Hagan that amused some members of the audience and disgusted others. the back. She and her husband sang one song in French and were getting on good ro ea with the audience, when the curtain ell. é, Manager Hagan had seen Mile. Dika’s ivory back and shoulders and some one had told him that the artists were singing in French, and he ordered that the curtain be dropped. Monsieur Paulo and Mile, Dika say that Mr. Hagan was so drunk he couldn't tell whether Dika’s dress was cut fora half- back or a full-back. No evidence in rebuttal has been adduced. Paulo wanted to know why the curtain was rung down. Hagan said the act was indecent. Paulo and the manager tried to fight, but Dika and the stage hands held them apart. Then Paulo went before the curtain and appealed to the audience, He was applauded and assured that the act was proper and edifying. Manager Hagan came out and chased the Frenchman back, then tried to make a speech himself. His utterance was thick and there seemed to be an impediment in his ideas. The audience hissed when he said he was determined to preserve the moral tone of his house. He tried to explain why | he thought the Paulo and Dika act was im- | proper, but the audience would not hear him, and he retired in confusion. Paulo then went to the ticket office and bought. a box seat. As soon as he got in the auditorium he began to circulate a state- ment to the effect that the act was emi- nently proper. Eighteen persons signed it before Treasurer Geserich learned what was. going on and had it stopped. Paulo then wanted his admission fee back, but did not get it. Paulo has a contract for himself and his wife to appear for one week at the Hagan. He says Mr. Hagan will have to pay their salary and po:sibly stand a suit for dam- ages, to say nothing of a horse-whipping which Mile. Dika proposes to administer with her own fair hands.

He Denies That Those Papers Apper- tained to Mrs. Watkins’ Suit. Who stole the letters in the McDonald- Watkins case? There were rumors of a big sensation about the Court-house corridors Tuesday morning and this question was agked many times. Col. R. 8S. McDonald has been try- ing the case of F. Lange against the Frisco railroad in Judge Valliant’s court.’ Monday afternoon when adjournment came he stood up to put on his overcoat and silk tile. They were gone. “‘My God, I’m ruined,’’ exclaimed the at- torney. “‘That coat pocket was full of val- uable papers.’”’ During the hearing of the case a sneak thief had entered the room, seated himself at the attorney’s table and in the heat of the legal battle had quietly walked off with Col. McDonald’s hat and coat. The impassioned exclamation gave rise to the impression that Col. McDonald had been separated from important documents in his celebrated ‘breach of promise case. He promptly notified the police. Col. McDonald exploded the corridor gos- sip Tuesday. ‘The documents in my over- coat pocket were important,” said he. “They included several unrecorded deeds to property in Tennessee belonging to a client of mine, several telegrams, a number of court documents and a bunch of keys to my safe deposit boxes. “Letters {in the Watkins case? No sir! I’ve forgotten all about that. It never amounted to anything and I can assure you that nothing referring to it was in my over- coat pocket. The other papers were valu- able. The thief can have the hat and coat if he will return my documents.”’ Mr. McDonald walked home Monday night under a faded derby several sizes too small for him. SECOND DISTRICT COURT. Its Proposed Removal to Be Contested in the House. At Tuesday’s meeting of the House of Delegates an attempt will be made to pre- vent the removal of the Second District Po- lice Court from Broadway and Carr street to Jefferson avenue and Dayton street.

He will attempt to prove | that pe ee agen - no rent will have to be paid at the new location the expense of | maintaining the court will be greater than 'at the old place. | The property owners of the vicinity are also aroused. hey think the court will | be objectionable and adversely affect their property interests. Ex-Delegate W. H. O’Brien called on Comptroller Sturgeon Tuesday to voice the protest of these. He has property at Twenty- seventh and Dayton streets, | The Comptroller told him it was out of his hands. Mr. O’Br‘en left with the de- claration that he would be at the meeting of the House.

The members of the company are cover- ing their movements carefully and so far | identity, | tion is being indulged tn, especially in South Nettie Woods, aged 11 years, living at 931 | Cass avenue, charged Charles Woerling and | are of She says the men followed | nothing has been done to indicate their though a great deal of specula- St. Louis. Many property holders in the South End the opinion that, @espite Delegate |Hartmann’s statement, John Scullin is one of the capitalists behind the bill. | This belief is strengthened by the fact that each of the eight branches will connect with some one of Scullin’s southern lines, ‘ t in operating each it will be neces. oneal wage over a portion of the tracks of » Scullin system. ay, Be of on, proposed branches ts to run out Pine street, from Twelfth street to Teresa avenue, and thence west to Forest | Park, out Forest Park boulevard. This is almost the identical route of the 'old Pine Street Railway C©o., which was headed by John Scullin, and met with such determined opposition. Another of Sculiin’s pet schemes was to operate a line over the Twenty-first treet bridge. Such a branch is provided ¥%r in the new bill. It is believed that Scullin will not peas as a member of the new company, thoug his interests will be carefully looked after by influential representatives. There is a general impression among those who claim to know that the brewery interesta will be well represented. Willlam J. Lemp’s heavy investment tn the Southern Electric Co. seems to have aroused the energies of a number of other manufacturers of the malt extract.

The bill is practically a request for the earth. Individual members of the House of Delegates express themselves as opposed to it, but much will depend on the Railroad Committee’s report. The brewery interests were active in the recent House of Delegates campaign, and it is claimed that the South. St. uls delegates are relied on to support the bill. Earthquakes in Michigan. NILES, Mich., May gg ap hw from many towns in Southwestern Michigan say an earthquake shock was felt for several sec- onds Sunday night. At Holland the front of a brick fell into the street. Thousands and thon- sands of men, without re- ¢ alizing it, are daily danc- ing to the music of death. It is a measure that ever grows faster and brings a man rapidly nearer and nearer to the grave. Too much work—too much business—too much wor- ry. Too little time to eat and drink—too little time to recreate and rest—too little thought and care for health. These are the kez notes of the dance of ill-health. The man who dances to them is soon in the gmap of general ill-health, and will speedily be in the relentless clutch of some fatal malady. It may be nervous exhaustion or prostra- tion: some wasting disease, deadly con- sumption, or almost any ailment in the category of human ills. There is a sure, spel. and permanent remedy at hand. Ninety-eight per cent. of all cases of con- sumption, chronic, or lingering hs and kindred ailments are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It acts through the blood directly on the lungs, driving out all disease germs and building up new and healthy tissues. It builds firm flesh and makes rich, pure blood. It tones the nerves and brightens the brain. It invigorates the liver and makes the kidneys active. Drug- gists have nothing else “just as good."’ “ Last summer I was taken with diarrhea of the very worst kind,” writes Mrs. H. Summerson, of Emporium, Cameron Co. Pa. “I a t deal. and for a time was better, buat the frouble soon came on again worse than ever, and it went so it became chronic. I doctored “oem one gmt worse all the time.

—— SS OF THE AIRSHIP. JENNY LIND, ABK., CITIZENS TELL WHAT THEY SAW. ONE MAN TOOK A RIDE. Several Conversed With the Occupants of the Craft, Who Gave Their Names. “— The good citizens of Jenny Lind, Ark., have seen the airship, At least that is what two of the inhabitants write the Post-Dis- patch, and thew delve thoroughly into par- ticulars, rivaling, though differing from, Mr. Hopkins, who related his wonderful experience near Springfield, Mo. The Jenny Lind letter is here given: JENNY LIND, Ark., May 5.-—Editor Post-Dispatch: We of Jenny Lind are no longer skeptical. The airship has come and gone. About 7:30 last night our citizens were aroused by the cry from a dozen places in icon, “*‘Air- ship! Airship!’’ The whole town turned out to see the long-looked-for wonder. It appeared from the north- east, moving in a southwesterly direc- tion. It came directly over the town, and as it approached the office of the Western Coa] and Mining Co. it veered to ihe right and took a northwesterly direction, passing directly over the Christian Church, where Rev. Nunn is holding a serious of meetings. His subject was Elijah’s translation. Just as he was telling of the magnifi- cent fllumination that surrounded Flijah the congregation heard the cry of airship. In the rush to get out of the church Mrs, Berry, Mrs. Staut and two other ladies were. seriously injured. The ship come down near a spring at the foot of the mountain, near Old Town, and Mr. Flijah Holenbeck, Assistant Superintendent of the Mines, Prof. Phelps and James Davis got on their bikes and followed it. At the Spring they conversed with the occupants, The manager and owner of the queer vessel ve his name as George Autzerlitz. “he gentleman with him he Introduced as Joseph Eddleman, Now here is the only fishy part of the story. pincy g had & swan with them which they eaid they had caught in flight. Mr. Eddieman told Mr. Holenbeck that they could move at a speed one- third faster than the fastest flight of birds and that they subsisted a great deai on birds taken in flight. They seem to have perfect control of the monster, for such it seems to us. Last night's excitement will long be remembered by the people of Jenny Lind. Groups of men and women re- mained on the streets discussing the matter and awaiting the return of Mr. James Davis, who accompanied thém to Huntington. They offered any one a free ride with them and Mr. Davis was the only one who would take the seem- ing risk, and then only after they had assured him they would land him at any place he desired. On this assurance Mr. Davis entered the car and took pas- sage for Huntington, fifteen miles away. They made the flight of fifteen miles in ten minutes. Mr. I. Jamison, our liv- eryman, sent a team to bring Mr. Davis back, but up to the time of writing they have not returned, although Mr. Davis telephoned Mrs. James Davis that he had landed all right. CLAUD M. ROSS. JOSEPH HOOKER. Should your readers doubt this, we re- fer them to Elijah Holenbeck, Assistant Superintendent; Jas. Davis, wholesale dealer in. ice cream and confections; Jack Jenison, livery and sale stable; Rev. Munn, pastor Christian Church. “Now as to the veracity of these peo- ple, I refer you to Mr. R. M. McDowell, General Manager of the Western Coal and.Mining Co., corner of Sixth and Locust streets, St. Louis. Mr. McDowell was fond In the offices of the Western Coal and Mining Co., Bquitable Building, Tuesday morning. He read the above. ; “*Yes,’’ said he, “I know all those persons. We have extensive works at Jenny Lind. can't understand the letter, though, It fs very strange.’ Mullanphy Depositors’ Association. The Mullanphy Bank Depositors’ Associa- tion held a meeting Monday evening to receive the report of committees that have waited upon eceiver Stone, and investi- ated the advisability of taking civil action. he committee did not feel warranted in retaining legal counsel as so few depositors had interested themselves. Gov. Stone as- sured the committee he had $990,000 on hand and would declare a divident of 2% or 380 per cert on May 16. Paul McBride Stabs Himself. Paul McBride, son of Attorney James J. MoBride, is at the City Hospital with a bad- ly cut wrist, the result of his attempt to sever an artery Monday. His little daughter saw the blood flowing from his wound and called the police. McBride said his wife had hurt his feel- ings and he wanted-to die. Drunken Coachman on a Rampage. Andrew Freeman, a former employe of Dr. T. G. Comstock, 3401 Washington ave- nue, attempted to shoot his successor, Robert Straub, Monday, at _ the doctor’s residence. Freeman was drunk and was satisfied after firing one ineffective shot. | Both men were arrested. but released later. - BIG SALVAGE SALE. - Large Attendance Upon the Ely-Wali- er Auction. The Ely-Walker salvage sale, the largest of its kind ever held in the West, began Tuesday morning in the big warehouse at Eighth and Lucas avenue. Nearly 600 buyers, representing dry goods firms from all over the country, were as- sembled on the sixth floor of ‘the big build- ing when Auctioneer Alexander Selkirk enounted a big box and said, ““‘Who’ll start ‘ar”?’’ The Grand Leader sustained its reputa- tion as an enterprising St. Louis house by capturing the first lot sold. From that time on bidding was spirited, and by noon $30,000 worth of the stock had been disposed of. The sale will continue at the Eighth street building three days, after which the goods stored at Ninth and Washington a and at 913 Lucas avenue will be sold. Among the outside firms represented were: Carson, Pirie & Scott, S'egel, Cooper & €Co., Kemper & Paxton and Montgomery, Ward & Co., of Chicago; Harris, Emery & Co., Des Moines, Io.; Crosby Bros., Topeka, Kan.; Fitzgerald Dry Goods Company, Lin- coln, Neb., and Peorta, Ill.; Sturges, Jack- son & Co., Nevada, Mo.; Bry & Bro., Cam- den, Ark.; Joseph Svenger, Belleville, Lil.; Barclay Block & Co., Macon, Mo.; J.

Dave Schaefer, 16 years old, is locked up at the Fourth District Police Station, charged with highway robbery. He was arrested at 1:30 o’clock Tuesday morning by Sergt. Maher and Patrolmen Rartold and O’Connell at- his home, 1440 North Pleventh street. At 11 o’clock Monday night John Wobble, 14 years old, was on his way to his home at 1537 North Fourteenth street. On O’Fal- lon street, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, he was confronted by Schaefer, who pointed a revolvér in his face and com- manded him to stand and deliver. Young Wobble says he recognized his assailant, and fearful lest he should be killed he held his hands aloft. The young highwayman then led him into an alley and telling him if he made any outery he would blow his brains out, he went through his pockets. Wobble only had 70 cents and this was taken. After securing the money. young Schaefer slapped his victim in.the face and told him to make tracks. He also said if he made any complaint to the police he would whip him within an inch of his life the next time he saw him. Wobble went direct to the Fourth District Police Station and reported the case. Schaefer will be prosecuted for highway robbery. JUSTICE COURTS ALL RIGHT. Comptroller Sturgeon Denies That Ex- tra Surveillance Is Necessary. The statement that the offices of the Justices of the Peace are to be placed un. der extra surveillance is denied by City Comptroller Sturgeon. The statement ap- peared in a morning paper, with the ex- planation that Constables were violating the law by coliecting bills and accounts on the collections. This statement was based upon ignor- ance of the law, which expressiy directs that Constables shall receive bills, accounts and the like for collection. The law also rovides that Constables shall be allowed % per cent commission, not on judgments, alone, as stated, but on all collections. The Justice Courts have been under the surveillance of BE. A. Schattzmann over a year. He was appointed by Comptroller Sturgeon to see that all fees belonging to the city “were collected and turned into the city treasury. Mrs. Carraher’s Third Husband.

He Hives with his mother at 4457 North Market street. ; Monday Mrs. Creeley went to Mayor Zie- genhein and related that her aay was so bad she could do nothing with him, and she asked that he be committed to the House of Refuge. She was told her wish would be granted and went home, Early Tuesday morning Patrolman Dwyer of the Sixth Police District went to the house to arrest George. The boy heard of the policeman’s presence, and though he was on the second floor he made a hasty exit. He threw up the window and jumped out. It was 16 feet to the ground, but the jump did not possess near the terrors for him that the House of Refuge did. When he struck the ground he jumped up unin- ured and ran. The policeman chased the oy for several blocks but the youth was too speedy for him, HE SAW VARIOUS REPTILES. Frank Ellison Confronted by a Detach- ment of Varmints.

The close of the regular dramatic season has not cooled the ardor of High Hat Wat- son, nor abated his resolve to emancipate theater-going mankind.

It will be introduced as soon as Mr. Mar- shall can find time to draw it up. There will be a clause applying to summer gardens and other al fresco resorts. Mr. Watson thinks people who go to hear light opera under the trees have a right to see the shapely girls of the chorus. If he has his way the ladies will have to take their chances along with the men of catching cold. BULLET IN HIS LEG. Charles Peyton Says He Was Shot by a Woman. Charles Peyton, 2% years old, a lineman, living at Fifteenth and Poplar streets, was found by an officer at Sixteenth and Clark avenue, at 1 o’clock Tuesday morning, with a limp and a jag. He did not give a satisfactory account of how he became thus, and had to go to the City Dispensary. Dr. Thompson found a 38-caliber revolver bullet in his left knee. He said he got it from Belle Carraher, in a fight at Market and Moore streets Saturday night. The only treatment the injury had re- ceived was whisky internally. His leg was accordingly in a bad condition. He was sent to the City Hospital. WR. CARLISLE MAY BE REMOVED. POSSIBLE SEQUEL TO THE HAYS DEFALCATION. REPORTS AT THE CAPITAL. The Postmaster Thinks It Unjust He Should Be a Scapegoat for a Republican. An Associated Press dispatch received Tuesday morning from Washington, reads: “It is probable the recent embezzlemen* of $15,000 at the St. Louis Post-office and the subsequent arrest of Cashier Hays and recovery of the money, will be followed by a change in the postmastership. Casbler Hays was removed by telegraphic instruc- tion from here Saturday. The Inspector's report on the affair has not reached here and until it does further action wil! b: de- ferred. The present postmaster is James L. Carlisle and his term does not expire until March 19 next.” Mr. Carlisle was shown the above soon after its receipt. He read it through several times. “That’s the first I've heard of such a thing,’’ he fidlally said. “I don’t see how they could in justice take such a step, but it may be a good excuse for those who would like to turn me out. “In that case I, a Democrat, would be made to suffer for the wrongdoing of a Republican. “I cannot understand how I can be held responsible for a defaication by Mr. Hays any more than for the pilfering by a clerk. “I kept Mr. Hays in the cashier’s office because I thought him efficient and my actién caused considerable ill-feeling among Democrats who thought I should appoint a Democrat to the position. “As the dispatch states, my term of office does not expire until next March, but of course they can get me out if they wish.’ In regard to the above the Washington correspondent of the Post-Dispatch wires: “The warring Republican factions are en- deavoring to secure a change at St. Louis, and they want it to take effect at an early date. Representatives of both the Filley and Kerens’ wings have been inter- viewing the Postmaster General and First Assistant Perry Heath to ascertain if it is possible to get the scalp of Carlisle. No encouragement has been given ihem, but the matter is to be taken to the White House, and if the President should decide that the Hays case is potent enough for an early change no objection will be made at the department. ““The boom of ex-Postmaster Harlow was short lived. He was repudiated by both Filley and Kerens. Neither wanted him. The Filleyites are on the defensive in the Post Office matter. They don’t want a change just atthistime. The recent black eye they received in the appointment of Charley Smith as Surveyor of the Port has caused lively apprehension on the part of Joy and Bartholdt that they are not in it at the White House. They prefer to wait another year in the hope that ‘De Ole Man’ will recover his second wind and get a toe hold in the White House door. Their visits to the department in relation to the matter have been made merely to keep informed. “Congressman Pearce, it is said, wants Charley Comfort.for Postmaster. Col. Ker- ens is keeping very quiet as to his choize. and.the various candidates are each hoping to receive his indorsement. Jno. O. Wilson, .C. D. Comfort, Fred Schaurte, James L. igely afd August Kern are active candi- ates. - Choice Property at Auction. Henry Hiemenz, Jr., will conduct a sale of West End property on Saturday, May 8, that will offer opportunities for investment unusually varied in character, but all un- pquestionably safe. Two eight-room, stone- front houses on Lindell avenue, northwest corner of Theresa avenue; can be changed into stores and become excellent income property. The vacant property Mr. Hiemenz will offer the same day consists of 300 feet on Forest Park boulevard and 500 feet on Laclede avenue, both a short distance only west of Vandeventer avenue.

After his return to Missouri he re- mained.at home only a short time, when he went to South America, From there he went to New York, shipping from there to Johannesburg, Africa, on a sailing vessel. He engaged in minin over there and amassed a fortune. uring the time he lived in Johannesburg, which was then in its infancy as a mining center, he realized the necessity of a hotel for Americans— something the town did not possess. He buiitt a palatial structure and named it “‘America.”” The climate and environments in general made African life unpleasant to Mr. Sampson and he sold his property to a New York syndicate and once more land- ed in America. “I have a curlosity to see how things are going on in Greece,”” said Mr. Sampson to a reporter for the Post-Dispatch, “and I think as I return from Arizona I will sto in St. Louis and have a talk with the Greek Consul. I am not particular about wading in gore, and, in fact, I prefer not to do any fighting. Still, I am In favor of the Greeks, and would like to go over there.”’ Building Permits. L.

The good record given him by his em- ployer, Dr. Comstock, saved Andrew Free- man, his white coachman, from a salting by Judge Peabody Tuesday morning. The Doctor testified that Freeman has a wife and seven children, had worked for him sixteen years, and wag a good and reliable man. Monday the colored house- man, Robert Strout, received an order to drive the family out, and harnessed the horses. Freeman thought Strout had sue- ceeded to his job, got his pistol and began shooting at the negro, but none of the shots took effect. He was arrested for breach of the peace and discharging fire arms. . white man’s defense was that he was drink- ing. , Peabody gave Freeman a scathing lecture and said if the man took to his pistol and whisky at the same time he would stand in murderer's row.

It Was a warm October morning, the house door stood wide open, affording a view of rich autumn trees and smooth green eward, with a faint blue sky over all. A young girl was coming slowly down the wide staircase, smiling, with a penaive look in her gray eyes which dontradicted the amile, and gianeing rather shyly at the group of men and women standing in the center of the big hall. , Lady Marchester came to her as she reached the last stair and laid a hand affec- tionately on her g#houlder. “We are all so sorry to lose you, Hatty,” she said. “I hope we shall see you when we come back to town, Jeff is going to drive you to the sta- tion in the dog cart. It is such a heavenly morning that you must get all the fresh air you cap.” , The other guests of the house gathered round her, saying kind things; and noting how peetty she looked in her coat and skirt of soft brown tweed and gallor hat. One or two exchanged glances and emiles when they saw her climb into the dog-cart and take her seat by Jefvl Marchester’s side. They .knew all about Jeff; but she did not. She had been spending three weeks among them, and they had all seen what Was going on: but no one utered a word of warning, They had remarked among themselves that ahe was a quiet little thing, but they did not quite believe she Was a8 simple as she seemed. And as she was Lady Marches- ter’s cousin, It was their hostess’ duty to look after her. The dog cart rolled away down the ave- nue, under the fast yellowing trees, and through the lodge gate. Hatty remembered that it was a three-mile drive to the station and there would be time for a long talk— one of those long talks she knew 80 we iy for they had had many. Perhaps this wou the man at her side, “I can't stand this. You.don’t know how much you are to me. I had only a minute with you last night.” He was looking down at her with melan- choly brown eyes while he kept a Ught hand on the reitts. Her heart was 60 heavy with un noweldged sorrow that she could not peak for a moment. anges fe8.8. ent “Ir I ot \afraid of ; but I don’t hake ¥hings uapleasant for you, % r a Poor darling.” he muttered, “ TO Me hehneee tr te cis. to enter’, cubet S the meeting next week took place it must certainly be without the knowledge of her father, That formidable old man had | strongly opposed her visit to the Marchest- ers, and had plainly said that not one ae | the Marchester set should ever set foot ' within his doors. How she had succeeded | in getting away from Woburn Square and down to Millwood, Hatty scarcely knew, | Some of his old friends had taken her side and told Mr. Warner that he shut the girl up too much, and then she had been grudg- ingly allowed to go. “It Is—rather sad to go home.” She spoke in a sweet, shaky little voice, looking atraight before her at the autumn trees, “You poor, dear child! Loute told me that gee lived in a sort of convict prison. But it shan't be always so. All that {Is wanted is a little pluck on your part; you'll have to do just what I tell you. Will it be Ma difficult to trust yourself to me, atty?’’ “No,” sald the girl faintly. She was com- pletely under the spell of his fascination: and yet!—what was love? A vision rose up before her of yess spent with him, of be- ing bound to him always; and there was | nothing in the prospect to appall her. Why should he not take care of her and make her happy? She had drunk in all the/| sweetness of his worship; it was her first draught of bliss. He was graceful and at- tractive-—-the kind of.man any woman would have been proud of winning; and her three weeks at Millwood had gone by in a dream of delight. And now ‘that the inevitable last day” had come she dreaded a return to the old monotonous routine of home. Her life had been lived so evenly, so gravely, 80 apart from all emotional tnfluences that she had never known what it felt like to have a lover, Lady Marchester had met Hatty with her old governess at the Royal Academy and had remembered that the girl was her sec- ond cousin. Jeff, who was at his sister-in- law's side, hac prompted her to give Hatty an invitation. The beautiful, girlish faceand soft, serious eyes had won his fancy at once; he was determined not to lose sight of anything so fresh and charming. — ot one a ag “ol Millwood he had devote mseif to her from the of her arrival. met day “Hatty, you must write to me this very evening,’’ he said, with a thrill of passion in his tone. “If I don’t get a letter to-morrow morning I shall do some desperate thing. How about your servants”’ “They are very good, and very grim,” she answered with a forlorn little amile. aR would not be wise to ask them to post my letter; I must slip out and drop it into the pillar-box myself," | i { miserable! It's high time that somebody | took you out of such a living tomb!’ They reached the station all although the tr Jeff put Hatty into a carriage, and lingered for more last words until the whistle sound- ed.

Do you remember our last walk upon the terrace, when the sun was going ‘down behind the hills?” The next day did nothing to raise her spirits. She missed the petting and amira- clon and sighed for the big rooms and lavish mere thought of Jeff thrilled her nerves and paled her delicate cheeks. How com- pletely he had changed her whole exist- ence! His first letter filled her with pain- ful delight, and an interview very soon fol- lowed the letter. A fortnight later Mr. Warner went into the country to spend a day and night at the house of an old client, and Hatty was freed from the spell of his cold, watchful eyes. All her plans were made. Jeff's strong will had swept her along like a leaf on a stream. She was going to say good-by to her colorless fe, and enter an enchanted land where the sun never ceased to shine, and the flowers were always in bloom. Yet, as she stepped out into the mist at half past 4 on a certain Monday afternoon, she was conscious of a chilly little doubt lying curled up at the beck of her mind: She had left a letter for her father on his study table, and had slipped out with a trav- eling-bag in her hand, Jeff was waiting somewhere not far from the door, and she had not walked many paces when he came to her side. i “How are you, darling?” he said. Give me the bag. We'll get into a hansom at sewed | I'm afraid there's going to be a beastly for.”’ They drove away together into the thick- ening yellow gloom, but although Hatty's hand was lying in his warm clasp, her heart was sinking fast. Of course there could be no turning back—she must right on; and there was no reason why § the happy future that awaited her. But if she could have been married in the usual old-fashioned style, with orange-blossoms and bridemaids, it would have seemed less romantic and more comfortable, The cere- mony was to take place abroad, and would be duly announced in the papers, Jeff had sald. r.

Boveral oarse, exicited voices began talk- ing all at once. Hatty was helped out; and slaced- gently on the pavement; and Jett, eee stationed her close to a li en orch, turned away to speak to their luck- ess Griver. In the pn ones a man lurched suddenly &@ knocking him dow2. e should doubt | There was not much traffic in the street: only one or two persons had collected around the fallen horse, and the poor creat- ure was s00n set upon its legs again. Jeff dispatched a boy to get another cab, and then put his hand into-his pocket—to find that his purse wag gone. Be, George! I've been robbed,” he said. “Hatty, have you got any money?” They stepped together into the lighted poreh, and she began to count her little store. One sovereign and two-and-sixpence; that was all. f. “That won't do,” said Jeff, considering. “Look here, dear, I must go to Talbot's chambers and borrow some. It’s only a little way off, and—”’ “Then let me stay where I am,” she pleaded, lifting her face to his. “This is a church I don’t know what church. O Jeff, I have been so frightened and shaken!’ The beautiful face, white with distress, raised a sudden anxiety in Jeff. He put his arm around her and let her gently through a door which opened without noise. A sister of charity glided in after them. “Sit down here, darling,’” he whispered. “Rest, and wait till I come back. I shall be gone about twenty minutes and tben we’'ll make A fresh start. Only keep your courage up, that's all.’’ He slipped out through the door, leaving her sitting on a bench under the west win- dow. The 5 o'clock evensong had just be- gun, but the scanty congregation had gath- ered in the chancel and Hetty, at the other end of the church, was quite alone. Al- ready the girl felt the peace of the place stealing over her; her heart was beating more quietly. And then a flood of tears came to her relief. There she sat, her trav- eling bag beside her, crying softly and heartily, with no one looking on—only con- scious fust at present that she was free from all restraint and thankful for this refuge and rest, “Are you unhappy?” asked a low voice by her side. She lifted her face from her handkerchief, | and found a Sister of Charity sitting close to her on the bench. The sudden question was not easy to answer; and yet it seemed to her afterward that something had been washed away by that flood of tears. Her vision was clearer; all the falea enthusiasm and dagzied vanity were gone. She had been deceiving herself, and was longing now to escape from the colls that were wound about her. “‘Yes,”’ she said, trembling. a dreadful mistake.” “I think you have run away from home: is that so? If you will trust me, I am sure I can help you.” “How a you know?’ Hatty asked. “T divined it all. There was an accident, I saw the gentleman help you out of the cab, and bring you in here. Presently he will come back for you.” “Yes: but I do not want to go with him,” said Hatty, in a firmer tone, She realized that she did not love Jeff. It had to come to that at last. While thought tha; “I have made she had loved him she had been sustained by a fictitious strength of mind; but that was swept away, and she knew the truth. ‘Very well,” said the sister quietly; “then he must not find you here when he returns. Come with me, and when you are more composed I will take you home.” Hatty felt her hand gently grasped. She rose, and the sister led her to a door on the other side, masked by a heavy purple cur- tain. She was conducted through a dim corridor, into a plain little room, which was, however, sweet with the scent of vio- lets. Pens and paper were on the table; her guide seated her in an armchair, and told her quietly to write a few lines. “What shall I say to him?” asked Hatty, looking up, like a child, for directions. A sharp flash of feeling crossed the sis- er’s quiet face; her nostrils quivered; her lips were compressed for a moment. Then she answered, quite calmly: “Say to him what you said to me—'I have made a dreadful mistake.’ ” Hatty obediently wrote the words, and added, “I am going home.”’ “I will see that is given him,” the sis- ter said, when the note was inclosed in an envelope. “The fog will clear off presently I daresay. Until it does you had tter « here In peace and have some tea, But don’t be troubled, my child; I am gure that you have done the right thing.” The last injunction was hardly needed. Hatty wondered that she was so little troubled; her decision seemed to have given her a feeling of perfect rest, and the flight from Woburn Square was looked back upon as a bad dream. Jeff would be angry and distressed, she supposed; but she could not help it. She was a weak little thing, and 4id not want to look upon his face again. She put out her hand and drew towards her a terra cotta vase filled with violets: and a mood that was soft and repentant stole upon her, making her cry a little once more. Her fa- ther was fond of violets; once or twice she had seen him wear them in Ms button-hole. Ah, well'—she would put a bunch on the ta- ble for him to-morrow. and she would look after him dutifully to the end of his days!

She went in and took possession of thet letter which lay upon her father’s desk, The dingy house seemed to have grown brighter; her own heart had never felt so light. But when the morning dawned she awoke wit the conviction that she had grown wiser older; that a chapter in her story was closed, and life could never again be as it had been yesterday.

Jim Butler Notifies Chief Harrigan That Cronin’s Men-at-Arms Are Intimidating Committeemen. Jim Butler called at the Four Courts Tuesday afternoon and asked Chief Harri- gan to send a equad of policemen to Jim Cronin's saloon Tuesday night to preserve peace, Butler says that he and Eddie Morrissey stole a march on the Cronin faction in se- curing the pledge of the precinct commit- teemen of the First Ward to support Mor- a and Conran for Central Committee- ars ronin who is managing the campaign for Judge Harvey and Pat O'Donnell for the Central Committeemen learned of these judges Monday night and immediate action was taken. According to Mr. Butler’s story to Chief Harrigan a lot of Cronin men, armed to the teeth, started out to visit precinct com- mitteemen who had announced themselves in favor of Butler’s men. Butler says they first called on Charles S. Hogan at Second and Plum streets and dragged him out of bed and into a neigh- boring saloon ‘There they handed him $ and with revolvers pointed in his face, forced him to sign an agreement to vote for Harvey and O'Donnell at the ward meeting Tuesday night at Cronin’s saloon at Twelfth and Walnut streets, After he had signed the agreement they hammered him over the head with their revolvers, knocked him to the floor an after taking the $5 from him, kicked him in the face until he was not recognizable, They left him and went to the home of Sam Jones, 626 South Broadway, another pre- cinet committeeman who had announced himself in favor of Conran and Morrissey. He was dragged out of bet and taken into a saloon down stairs, Butler says, and forcéd to sign the agreement to vote for Harvey and O’Donnell at Tuesday night's meeting of the Precinct Committeemen, He told Butler that the men inted revolvers in his face and threatend to shoot him if he did not do as they told him. But they did not beat him up as they did Hogan. Chief Harrigan assured Mr. Butler that he and his associates would have protection at the meeting in Cronin’s saloon Tuesday night, when the Central Committeemen from the First Ward will be elected. When Mr. Butler left the Four Courts he went over to Cronin’s saloon to make final aah meen for the meeting Tues- day night. Meeting! caucus!” yelled Cronin, “why, that was held at 8 o'clock this morning and we have elected our committeemen. But we scratched Judge Harvey and put Mike Haley in his place. So that the Cen- tral Committeemen now from the First Ward are Haley and O’Donnell.” Butler was never more astonished: Cro- nin explained to him that the ordinance simply read that the Central Committeemen were to be chosen the first Tuesday in May and did not say at what time of day. Butler then realized that Cronin had gained a point on him. And he went back to the Four Courts to again tell his troubles to Chief Harrigan.

Show Has a Dash and Daring That Captures the Spectators and Holds Them. The circus is the thing. It has caught on and the Ringling Bros. will do a lucrative week’s business in St. Louls. : MUST GET OFF YOUR STILTS IF YOU WOULD BRING ST. LOUIS TO CHRIST. SO SAYS EVANGELIST SMITH. Old-Fashioned Gospel Preaching in an Old-Fashioned Tent in Windsor Place, In this metropolis, where enormous sums of money are spent for soft, springy- cushioned seats, dazzling chandeliers, rich altars, artistic chancels and other luxu- They deserve it. Everything about the, rious interior furnishings for houses of show is clean and wholesome; the equip- ment is bright and shiny; the horses are sleek and contented and the employes seem to enjoy themselves as much as the audi- ence. The show is remarkable for its dash and rush. It ts kaleidoscopic. There are twen- ty-seven numbers on the programme, but they seem merged in one continuous exhi- bition of daring and skill, interspersed with just enough comedy to relieve the tension and furnish amusement for the little ones. There was not a hitch in the performance Monday night. Pverything moved with military promptness and it was easily seen that some disciplinarian is the master spirit of the organization. ‘ From the hundreds of performers it is dif- ficult to select any one or two more de- serving of mention, Probably the most won- derful and at the same time daring act is that by Achilles Phileon. It is his first ap- pearance in St. Lou's and he received round after round of applause. Standing on a large ‘globe he so propels the object with his feet that he mounts a spiral roadway to the dome of the tent. The roadway narrows as it ascends until at the top it is no wider than the ball upon which the performer stands. There are no guards on the side end the artist does not carry a balancing ole. One false step, one second’'s loss of alance and he would be plunged to the ground, where there is no net spread to re- ceive him. But he does not make the misstep and after reaching the top, where he is so close to the canvas that his head mov vob f touches, he comes slowly down the epiral, holding the ball to his bidding by the game wonderful manipulation of his feet. When half the descent has been covered he touches a spring and the entire spiral is at once aglow with fireworks. Another daring feat is that by Joseph La Fleur, who dives backward from the top of a ladder about 20 feet high and falls upon a table, striking first on his hands. Then there are Prof. Loékhart’s perform- ing elephants, with whom St. Louisans are giad to renew acquaintance, They have been taught some new tricks since they were at the Exposition, among them being a dance, during which their legs are bound with Bleigh bells, The circus opens with a pageant repre- fenting the inaugural ceremonies of the grand fetes of ancient Olympus. For fifteen minutes the hippodrome course, the three rings and the two stages were filled with a moving, glittering mass, the wonders of the menagerie being added to those of the cir- ous proper. Presto, the scene changes. The elephahts, dromedaries and horses disappear and some little Japs come running out. They occupy every ring and stage, and the eve is bewildered by five performances go- ing on at once. Matsamota slides from the wire; Ometakibana walks on a stairway of razor- Tace and Otara per- form marvelous feats on fragile bamboo then claim @ttention and when their act is done out come the handsome ring horses and the pty equestriennes, Two bareback riders at once! The irre- pressible clown here makes his appearance wonderful dome to the ground on a slender edged swords and ladders. ‘Performers on aerial bars mn one ring and three rings going How different from the old days! and starts the laughter. Display No. 6 is furnished by acrobats, the four Milletts, the four Leanders and the Foy family. The latter perform their feats in full evening dress. Next is what the programme terms a “hodge podge of up-to-date exploits in vau- deville specialties,’ Juggling, balancing and eoros acts—five o them—keep the eye usy. The children have their inning after this. In come the performing donkeys, the bear that rides horseback and three pi that obey their clownish master and do all sorts of tricks, In this act also is Silver King, the horse that can do everything but speak. He marches, dances and bows and is finally lifted high on a platform by thirty men. The leapess, men who jump over elephants and dromedaries, and think nothing of turning half a dozen somersaults in the air claim attentf®n and are followed by Kate Demott, Allie Jackson and Minnie Johnson who make their horses march, waltz and then dance a Spanish cachucha. Lockhart’s elephants are followed by the revolving globe exploits of Archellis PhiI- eon, above referred to, and then come the champion bareback riders of the world. Some wonderful mid-air feats are fext in oe i and then follows the famous clown and, than which nothing more amusing was ever seem at circus or in a theater. Monday night they kept the audience in an uproar. In fact the clowns at this circus have found several new features. which is mying a good deal. ; ng trapeze acts follow, the somer- saults in mid-air being as wonderful as any ever seen here. More equestrian exploits are seen and then the circus closes with eleven events over the hippodrome course that cause the spectators to stand on their eeats and cheer.

There is a large tent stretched at Wind- sor place, near Grand avenue. Two thou- sand people crowded under that tent Mon- day night: to hear Evangelist J. H. QO. Smith. Rev. Smith came to St. Louis from his home in Chicago to engage in a series of services, which will continue daily, after- noon and night, for the next six weeks. The revival is the result of a united ef- fort on the part of all the Christian churches in this city. Every congregation of that faith is interested in the work. With Rev. Smith came Messrs. Hackile- man and Jones of Chicago, who are wide- ly known as evangelistic singers. They have been with Rev. Smith in other cities, and understand how to make music, es- pecially adapted to religious revivals. A choir of 300 voices assists Messrs. Hackle- man and Jones, and in many of the old- fashioned hymns the volume of song ts swelled by the help of the entire audi- ence. On Sunday night at the initial eservice Rey. Smith took for his topic: “If St. Louis Should Come to Christ.’’ Monday night he followed with a highly interesting discourse on: “‘How to Bring St. Louis to Christ.”” The preacher read a portion of Mark, 16th chapter, for his Bible text. “Brother Ringling and myself are each holding our tent services this week,’’ the evangelist said, in the way of prefatory re- marks. “Brother Ringling holds forth afternoon and night. So d His tent is probably some than ours, but it is not a tent. Some of our members may be at Brother Ringling’s circus to-night, but, on the other hand, some of the circus people may be under the friendly cover of our tent, Speaking of the circus reminds me that I never went to but one in all my life. That was Van Amberg’s show.” : “I know of only one process by which St. Louis can be brought to Christ, and that is by the old-fashioned gospel route,’ the reacher said. ‘“‘In Chicago some preachers ave tried to get up a patent process to bring people to Christ. They preach sensa- tional sermons and get their names in the newspapers. I notice that the papers like to print sensational sermons, yet at the same time it has been my observation that the papers are always willing to record any good that is accomplished by preachers. The newspapers, as a general proposition, are all right. Talking about sensations, there is nothing more sensational than the Bible. Just plain Bible is sensational enough, and best of all, it is the right kind of a sensation. St. Louis needs the gospel. And it must be the pure gospel, the real gospel, the only gospel. Some people go to church with their intellectual scalpels ready to literally dissect the sermon. For my part, I bel!eve in plain preaching—the kind that goes through a congregation like a fire through a pile of splinters. When I first left college I was under the impression that evo- lution and spontaneous generation and other science could be scraped off of the trees with a spoon. As I grew older I learned better. We have too much up-to-date sci- ence in our preaching. Let us get down off of our stilts and go to work in earnest [to save souls. That {is the only way to bring St. Louls to Christ. Too much machinery in the churches; too much, too much! The old-fashioned gospel cannot be improved upon. Man churches don’t want religious re- vivals. There is too much fiddling and other fool things to be consistent with revivals. Fiddling and dancing and religious revivals do not mix well. Sometimes I have reached in ‘fashionable churches. to ashionable congregations. On these occasions the members of the church come in their carriages. Of course they leave the coachman on the out- side of the church. Right there is where I protest. I believe in bringing the unsaved coachman inside of God's house. I believe that God will hold such Christians respon- sible for their frivolity, while souls are perishing. “Get out and go to work to save souls if you want to bring St. Louis to Christ! Old- fashioned repentance is what we need. Boys and girls in Sunday-school can do much to bring St. Louis to Christ. Get the man, woman or child nearest you. Then go after the next nearest. In this manner, man by man, woman by woman, child by child, St. Louis can be brought to Christ.’ At the conclusion of the service much in- terest was aroused. Invitation was ex- tended for repentant sinners to come for- ward. Several accepted the Invitation Pvangelist Smith is not a tiresome talker. His sermons appear really shorter than they are from the fact that he has the power to fascinate. Much of the time is taken up in music. The evangelist says he regard music as an indispensable auxiliary to the work of a preacher. While the tent in which Rev. Smith con- ducts the revival is strictly old-fashioned, there is no lack of comfort. The plain wooden seats are provided with backs an it is refreshing to spend an hour or two in the tent. There has been no effort to make it anything but an old-fashioned place of worship, inasmuch as the revival. is based on old-fashioned gospel. ORGANIZED LABOR AROUSED. Non-Union Men at Forest Park High- lands and Koerner’s Garden. Organized labor is threatening the finan- cial welfare of Forest Park Highlands, and unless the difficulty is smoothed over every union man in the city will join the move- ment. The trouble grows out of the employment of non-union painters by Henry Scherf, a late Republican member of the House of Delegates. Mr. Scherf has the saloon privi- leges of the Highlands, and in getting ready for the season's business he has employed the cheapest labor. The Union men say they have appealed to him in vain, but have refrained from taking any action because of the kindly feeling they bear toward Col. John D. Hop- kins, whose theater there will be affected by any action taken against Mr. Schertf. It seems the matter could not be adjusted any other way, and Monday the Executive Committee of the Painters’ Association is- sued an wtimatum to the effect that if union labor is not employed by Wednesday morning committees which have been ap- es See ore Sree mnaton, asking ort, w the resort pport, ch means tabooing ike action is threatened against Koer- ner’s Garden, at King’s highway and Arsen- al street. Non-union men are employed on the summer theater, and they will have to come off. MANY SORE ARMS. Planters’ Hotel Employes Submit to Vaccination. Manager Weaver of the Planters’ Hotel issued orders Monday that every employe about the place should be vaccinated. This was decided upon by Manager Weaver in view of the fact that several smal) pox cases have developed in the city within the last month. So far as known, none of the Planters’ attaches have been éxposed to the disease, but the vaccination is in- tended as precautien. Two hundred and eleven men and women, some young, some old, bared their armas Monday afternoon and near! as many more submitted to the ordeal esday. The work is pein. done under direction of Dr. h sisted by th ters’ H ysician, Dispensary physicians. te: HAY LOSE HIS OFFICIAL HEAD. THE STATE A. P. A. ANGRY AT PRESIDENT STEVENS. A BAD SPLIT IN THE SOCIETY. Charges Made That Stevens Is a Dic- tator and Tries to “Run Things.” The Missouri « Protective Association, more commonly known as “‘the A. P. A.,”’ is somewhat split up the back. A large section of it, representing fifty councils, is meeting behind closed doors at Druids’ Hall, Seventh and Market streets, and the amount of secrecy it maintains with respect to its proceedings is altogether omi- nous. The delegates are not only angry, but downright mad. “This meeting should have been called in March,” said Representative McPherson of St. Louis to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “Why was it not called?’’ ’ “Because—well—because the State officers of the society violated the constitution.” “In what respect?’’ *That’s telling.’’ - What's the matter with President Stev- ens ?’’ “We are not allewed to talk until the meeting is over. I can give you no infor- mation whatever.”’ “T’ll tell you what’s the matter with Stevens,” said a member of, the Advisory Committee. ‘“‘He has no business to be President. During the last municipal cam- paign the five members who constitute our committee spent much time in sounding all the candidates for the Republican nom:na- tion as Mayor. Always there were at least three of us engaged in this work, and I pledge you my word our duty was faithfully performed. Yet Stevens now charges us with dereliction of duty and declares we never called on anybody but Dr. Stark- loff, which is unqualifiedly false. We went to see Ziegenhein three times.”’ It is the purpose of the present meeting to depose President Stevens and elect his suc- cessor. It will also name delegates to the Supreme Council, which meets May ll, in Washington, D. C. The insinuation of some of the members is that Judge Stevens has taken the dic- tatorship of the society; that he has under- taken to dump the combined influence of the order in any direction he desired, with- out consulting the Council, and that, in general, he ‘“‘runs things’’ to suit himself. All these objections are but = te | hinted at in the manifesto published uesday morning, in which the State delegetes de- clare that ‘‘owing to inadvertenve or ne- glect, the State officers and executive board of the A. P. A. of Missouri failed to calla meeting of the State in March of this year,” and that ‘‘the action of the officials in call- ing the Council for July 12, 1897, was illegal.”’ Therefore, ‘‘the requisite number of coun- cils have signed a call to hold the session of the superior council beginning May 3.,’’ Ex-Representative Swaine of St. Louis, who is usually quick to give information possessed by him, is dumb as an oyster on the situation, meeting all inquiries with the answer: “I have nothing for pubtication.” Judge Stevens will pay no attention, it is said, to the present gathering, but will con- test the case before the Supreme Council at its —— in Washington next week. It is evident from the large amount of murmuring that Judgo Stevens wll svon be engaged in a very hot contest for his offi- cial head and the chances aie that he will lose it. THE SONG DID IT. . Frederick Effelborn Wanted to Die Be- cause He worked With a Negro. “IT Don't Like a Nigger Nohow,” was the tune that rang in Frederick Effelborn’s ears as he left his home, 119 Morin avenue, Mon- day to go to work. He is a stonemason, and works for a man who doesn’t share his antipathy for the colored race. The boss put him to work by the side of a large and humid negro. Effelborn objected, but the boss said race rejudice didn’t quarry and marble with im, and if Effelborn didn’t like to work with the colored man he could quit. Effelborn stood it all morning. But that, “IT Don’t Like a Nigger Nohow,” kept ring- ing in his ears. The chisels of the masons kept timeto it, and as the humidity of his dark-skinned neighbor increased Effelborn thought he could even smell the rollicking air that haunted him Late in the afternoon he threw down his chisel and mallet and went to the Wabash railroad tracks at Christian avenue. A train was approaching. Effelborn lay down with his head ona rail. Mrs. Saltano of 914 Christian avenue saw him and screamed. Then she got some men to take Effelborn away from the track. They did it just as the train dashed y. A policeman took charge of Effelborn and sent him home, Effelborn said he wanted to die because he felt that he was disgraced by having worked side by side with a negro. Life with such a stigma on him wasn’t worth the living he said; then he hummed, “I Don’t Like a Nigger Nohow.” BOSSES TAKE ALL CONTRACTS. Master ‘and Journeymen Painters Reach an Agreement. The master and journeymen painters of St. Louts have arranged an agreement whereby the interests of both will be greatly benefited, and the trade kept freer from the annoyance of non-union labor. It has been customary when a job of painting is to be done, that the individual journeyman could accept the contract, em- ploy help and complete the work. In. this way the public was often gulled into em- ployihg unskilled labor to its own subse- quent detriment. By the terms of the rule just going into effect, no journeyman can accept a job. He Is expected to refer the applicant to a master painter, or shop- keeper, who will enter into the contract and employ the bst workmen for the job. Nearly 2,000 painters are affected by this order. It was promulgated by a mutual confer- ence committee, embracing representatives fromm the Master Painters and Decorators’ Association, the South Side Master Paint- ers’ Association and the Executive Board of Journeymen House Painters. The agree- ment is signed by H. F. Hoppins, for the Master Painters’ Associations, and H. W. Steinbiss for the Executive Board Journey- men House Painters. AN OLD WOMAN HURT. Exciting Chase for the Careless Driver of the Team. Mrs. Louisa Hunter, 81 years of age, liv- ing with her daughter In the rear of 1560 South Broadway, was standing in the street, awaiting a cable car, at 7 o'clock Monday evening. A hack, driven by Cony Mack, turned rapidly into Broadway from Miller street. There was no light burning at the corner, and before Mack could pull up, one of the horses struck the woman and knocked her down. The hack driver touched his horses with the whip and kept on goin north on Broadway. The driver of a coa cart, who was standing on the sidewalk, ran after the hack. or fifty P hershey the horses and man raced up Broadway. The man outran the hack and finally caught one of the horses. He forced the driver to turn back to the scene of the accident and to give his name to a policeman, who arrived upon the spot a few minutes later. Mrs. Hunter was carried to her home by JUDGE MURPHY AND THE PUGS THE ECCENTRIO JURIST RE- LEASES PRIZE-FIGHTERS. THEY FOUGHT FOR MONEY. But as They Wore Gloves and Didn’t Show Articles It Was Only “a Contest.” Judge Murphy of the Court of Criminal Correction was not satisfied with opening the poolrooms and attracting to the city that peculiar class of people who live by gambling on horse races and inducing others to do so, but is making himself solid with prize fighters and thugs. He made another of his unique rulings Monday in a case which the police con- sidered a good one. Two men were arrested by Detectives Killian and Hatton after they had been al- lowed to fight until one of the men was knocked out. An admission fee was charged, money was bet upon the fight, and it was conducted with all the formalities incident to a regular prize contest, Judge Murphy held, however, that it was not a fight, but merely a glove contest. He gave two reasons. One was that he set the definition of Charles Daly, a prize- fighter, as to what constituted a prize fight above that of Mr. Webster, who wrote a dictionary. Mr. Webster in his book, which Judge Murphy may not be familiar with, says: Prize fighter, one who fights or boxes publicly for a reward.” Prize fighting; the act or the practice of fighting for a prize.’* These definitions look simple and easy, yet Judge Murphy regarded them not_be- cause Charley Daly said that any fight where gloves were worn by the contestants tem not a fight, but merely a glove con- est. Prosecuting Attorney Mulvihill wanted to know if the Corbett-Fitzsimmons prize fight was not a prize fight. Mr. Daly assured him that it was not. It was a glove contest. Judge Murphy, with an air calculated to terrorize the detectives, glared at them and asked them to produce the articles of agree- ment and the challenge which had figured in the case. They could not do it. Then they were told to prove that the men had fought for a fixed stake and side bets. They could not do it. It began to look as if Judge Murphy considered that he had been personally affronted. The defendants began to cheer up and look very wise and knowing The police, already: hesitating because of the long siege of bulldozing they have suf- fered from gudge Murphy, were afraid to speak up and tell all they did know, and as a result Judge Murphy, without leaving the bench told all the defendants to go, as he was satisfied that they had not been in- dulging in a prize fight under his con- struction of the statutory enactment there- on. Under this ruling it looks as if prize-fights might be fought openly, but Chief Harrigan says no. He proposes to keep on making arrests until Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson refuses to issue warrants. When asked what he proposed to do re- garding prize-fights, a look of disgust slowly spread over the Chief's face. *““‘What do you want me to do?” said he. *“‘What are you going to do ?” “What can I do without the courts to back me up? We make the arrests and the court releases as fast as we arrest.”’ “Are you going to continue making §ar- rests?’’ “Yes, Iam. Every time we catch any one prize-fighting we will arrest them and ‘try to get warrants against them. Col. Johnson has not yet refused to issue warrants and until he daes we will make raids. “A long as we can get warrants we can make these arrests, but if we can’t get war- rants it will be no use.” The general impression of the Four Courts officials was that Judge Murphy’s last rul- ing practically settled the question and made it possible for prize-fights to take —— any time. All the principals have to o is to wear gloves and keep their chal. lenges and articles of agreement out of the hands of the police. They may be worried a bit by a night in the holdover, but it is a moral certainty that they will be released as soon ag they appear before Judge David Murphy. The case which Judge Murphy passed on was @ most flagrant one. Douglass and Price, both professional prize-fighters, fought eight rounds for a purse of $350, which was in the hands of George Garrett, alias Willie Green. The detectives saw the fight, saw tickets of admission sold and ar- rested the principals at the ring side at the termination of the mill, yet they could not prove to the satisfaction of Judge Murphy that it was a prize-fight. The information alleged that the two prin- cipals struck and bruised each other for a sum of money against the laws of the State. Judge Murphy held that the sum of money was not proved. Col. Dick Johnson said: ‘‘Mulvihil) claims that the evidence necessary was not pro- duced. The information as drawn seems to have been all right and I shall, whenever sufficient evidence is produced, issue war- rants. I can do nothing but issue if the evi- dence is presented to me.”’ THE DEAN WILL WED. Rev. Carroll Davis and Miss Maud Reber in the Fall. The Schuyler House annex of Christ Church Cathedral has been agog for sev- eral days owing to the announcement of the engagement of the Rev. Carroll M. Davis, the dean of the Cathedral, to Miss Maud Reber of Old Orchard, daughter of the late Judge Reber. All the my and guilds of the Cathe- dral meet in Schuyler House and no end of a sensation was caused there when the dean announced his intention to marry. Those associated with him in the work of the parish have regarded him as a con- firmed bachelor. The wedding will be awaited with great interest by all the iscopalians in this dio- cese, among whom Dean Davis is so popu- lar. He has always been in great demand in society and many an anxious mamma will learn with regret of the step he has de- termined to take. Mr. Davis lives with his mother on the third floor of the Schuyler House, next door to the Cathedral, and for sévera) days he has been busy receiving the congratula- tions of all entering there. He was geen there by a Post-Dispatch reporter Monday evening. The dean refused to discuss the matter, except to confirm the report of the engagement. He says the marriage wi!] not take place until next fall, and that no date has been set or arrangements of any kind made for the event. He also declined to discuss h‘s flancee or how he was for- tunate enough to win such a beautiful and accomplished young lady as Miss Reber. The wedding will be a noteworthy event in society.

Journeymen Horseshoers Want More Money and the Butlers Say They Shan’t Have It. Journeymen Horseshoers’ Union No. 3 of St. Louis has declared a strike and fifty Knights of the Anvil have walked out. They say they will not go to work again until the bosses accede to their demand for better wages. The strike has not become general, as a number of bosses are paying the scale demanded by the union. The trouble dates from a meeting of the Journeymen Horseshoers’ Union on, April | 6 at Lightstone’s Hall, when it was de-| cided. to ask for a uniform advance of BO: cents a day for all classes of shop work. At present the scale is $3 a day for fire- men, $2.75 for firemen and floormen and $2.50 for floormen. The union is now asking that firemen be paid $3.50, firemen and floormen $3.2 and floormen $3. A circular embodying these demands was sent to the Master Horseshoers’ Associa- tion. Monday all men employed by bosses who | refused to adopt the advanced scale were called out. President Thomas J. Mullen of the Jour- neymen’s Union says the men are in earnest and that they will be supported by the National Union. If the str.ke con- tinues all the week all the men engaged in | it will receive strike wages—$5 a week—out of the National union’s treasury as long as they are out. There was a rumor out Tuesday morning that Col. Ed Butler would take his place at the forge until the strike was settled. He hasn’t gone forward yet, but his son Edward Butler, Jr., is filling the place of one of the strikers at the Butler shop on South Tenth street. Young Ed has his own ideas about the strike. He thinks Jim Cronin has got his old gang together and is getting back at the Butlers for throwing him down at the re- cent election, “That guy up at Twelfth and Wajnut street had better keep his mouth out of this or there'll be trouble,’’ said’ the husky Ed Tuesday. “T understand he has been talking a good deal, and if ‘he’s looking for trouble he'll get it. The fight seems to be directed against the Butlers. We'll see these hobo horseshoers in h—— before we'll give in to | them. The trouble was all caused by a lot of tramp journeymen. They have forced some of the good men out, but we wil! have no trouble in filling their aces. “The strikers are circulating a report that the St. Louis Transfer Co. has met their demands, but I have found that this isn't so. It isn't very likely that John Scullin, who has been fighting vi ar labor all his life, would give in at this late date, is it? “They sald the Mound City Coupe Co. had raised salaries. Now, everybody knows that Gus Thiel, the head of the company, is a detective and a Pinkerton man, He's been fighting strikers for years and he’s not going to give ia to a crowd of hobos.”’ The Master Horseshoers have given the strikers until Tuesday night to signify their willingness to go back to work at the old scale. The Journeymen'’s Union meets Tuesday afternoon at Lightstone’s Hall, and the boases meet Tuesday night at the same place. YOUNG. MURPHY RETURNS.

IN BELLEFONTAINE, SECRETARY GAZZAM TELLS WHY THE PRICE WAS RAISED. THE CEMETERY OVERCROWDED. Its North Side Filled and Florissant Avenue Now Being Utilized. The action of the Bellefontaine Cemetery Association in arbitrarily increasing tne price of graves in the publi: part of that beautiful cemetery from $10 to £30. is meet- ing with a wave of criticism from citizens of St. Louis. “In former years,” says Secretary Gaz- zam, ‘“‘we had the public department di- vided into two classes, and sold the first class grave sites at $15 and the second class at $10. We have now abolished the classes and fixed the one charge of $30 for each public grave.” “Why was the price asked. Becau8e Bellefontaine is rapidly becomin crowded. All the public space on the nort side is now filléd, and we have begun selling graves on the Florissant avenue sid’. .On the Bellefontaine road, the precipice pre- vents us from using any ground. So, you see, it will only be a few years until all the public space is gone, and we are trying - Fey out against the end as long as pos- sible.’ “Will not the increased cost deter the poor from burying their dead in Bellefon- ta'ne?’’ “To a certain extent, yes. But there are 35 cemeteries in St. uls, all nice ones, with graves at lower rates than ours.” “But suppose a family has one of its members buried in Bellefontaine and wants to inter another in the same piace, but is too poor to pay $30, will not the high price worm ere than a hardship to such a huuse- oid?’’ “Well, in the first place, tt is already im- possible to bury persons in proximity to each other in the public part of Bellefon- taine. The public graves are very close to- increased?” was gether, and the rows are stretching out longer every day. There is always one grave standing open for the next day; #0 that a person buried there one year ago, for instance, is far removed from the person who dies to-day. No amount of money can get the graves of one household together, peeuee that would be a physical tynpossi- “Will not the high price be of some ad- vantage to the shareholders?” How could it? Ours is a non-dividend- aying association. There is not one dollar nit to any one. The Bellefontaine Ceme- a is owned and controlled by a body of well-known citizens, acting under the age ers and duties extended by an act of the slature of 1849. It was designed, and still] is, for the benefit of the general publc. There may be, of course, some advan to the owners of private lots by reason of the increased price, but to no one else. That is @ natural consequence of the growing de- mand for and rapidly decreasing supply of ground space in the cemetery.’ In other words, the check on burials in the public department by reason of the raise from $10 and $15 to $8 will render Bellefontaine more and more exclusive, and eventually put a high premium on the pri- vate lots, we peeeent Greaves of b rod ageoren re: ames E.
