THE NEAREST DRUGGIST——P.-D. WANT ADS. PAY. =_ R.M. SCRUGGS ARRESTED. He and E, G. Langhorne Searched as Smugglers at New York and Valuable Property Found on Them. NEW YORK, May 22.—Richard M. Scruggs, a St. Louis millionaire, and E. G. Lang- horne, of the same city, were arrested by Custom-house inspectors as they stepped off the Steamer St. Paul on its arrival from Southampton to-day. Warning had evidently been telegraphed when they left Southampton. The charge is smuggling. When the inspectors searched Langhorne they found a belt containing diamonds, jewelry and watches. Similar articles were found in Mr. Scruggs’ pockets. Valuable lace was also captured, The ~~ Y ( hf; | 4/ { RICHARD M. SCRUGGS. €aptured stuff is worth $3,000. Mr. Scruggs declared for himself and Langhorne to the a@mount of $25 dutiable property. - ° “I guess it’s. all right,’”’ remarked Mr. Scruggs, smilingly, as he handed his declaration to the inspector. “No, it is not all right,”’ said the officer. “Why, what’s the trouble?’ asked Mr. Scruggs, still smiling. “We will have to search you and your companion,” was the inspector’s reply. “Search me!"’ exclaimed Mr. Scruggs. ‘‘What do you mean? Do you dare insult me? I am a respected citizen of this country, and you insult me at your peril. You are im- pertinent.” “I can’t help that,”’ replied the inspector. “I will have to search you.” Mr. Scruggs threatened and then pleaded, but the search was made. The two men waived examination before Commissioner Shields and were held in $2,500 bail, which was furnished by Clarence V. Kip of 443 Broome street, who is a friend of Scruggs. ' ‘ It was learned that Scruggs and Langhorne went to England to sell the patent on a ralculating machine and got $200,000 for it. Bunday-school Union, of which he is the President, and that he was told in England that they were not dutiable. Mr. Langhorne is his secretary. Scruggs says that it was Langhorne who declared for the two that there was not gore than $2 worth of dutiable goods. | _ MR. BARNEY IS SHOCKED. Charles E. Barney, Vice-President of the Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney Dry Goods Co., was so shocked when the Post-Dispatch telegram from New York was shown him that he could hardly speak. He turned white and red by turns, and then he got angry. “This is an outrage,”’ he explained, “for which somebody will pay dearly or I do not know R. M. Scruggs. Nobody need ask me to believe that a man of Mr. Scruggs’ high character and standing in the business world would ever attempt to smuggle a paltry sum ~ like that or any other sum. If he has been found with anything dutiable on his person, I would stake my life that he believed he had a right to bring in such things free. “Mr, Scruggs has no need to do a thing like that. He would not for his right hand do wrong. He has paid too many millions of dollars import duties in his business career to make him open to contemptible temptation at this late day. “No, sir, I repeat, it is an outrage, and you may depend upon it, our firm will sift the responsibility of it to the bottom, and somebody will afford redress. “I know very little about Mr. Langhorne. He is a reputable man, so far as I know. Mr. Scruggs has confidence in him, and that is enough for me.” Further than this Mr. Barney would not go. “Of course, you understand, I know hothing of it personally,” he said. SCRUGGS AND LANGHORNB ARE PARTNERS. The office and factory of the American Arithmometer Co. is at 2102 Wash street. It is qQuite-an imposing plant. Being Saturday it was shut down at noon, but the office was in charge of D. W. Tyler, bookkeeper. The Arithmometer Co. manufactures adding machines, which make the work of book- “eepers, bank clerks and others who have to add great columns of figures a joy instead a burden. {r. Tyler was dumfounded to learn that anything had happened to Mr. Langhorne. went to New York two or three weeks ago. He has been living on Jones street re- _tly, but on April 1 he gave up his house and his family went to Arcadia, Ark., I think, ither there or Little Rock. I cannot imagine what his reported arrest means. Surely it is nothing in connection with this business. We don't smuggle anything. We manu- facture all our goods right here in this building. “The company has $250,000 capital. R. M. Scruggs is President and Mr. Langhorne its Secretary and General Manager, That is all I know about it. I am sure, if Mr. Lang- horne is in any trouble, it is not in connection with his business, and I can what trouble, in connection with smuggling, he could have got into. *t conceive “I don't know much of Mr. Langhorne.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPORTSMAN’S PARK, ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 22.—Things at Sportsman’s Park are still in the same old jumble. None of the trades have been brought off, but Mr. Muck. before the gun does. The Browns and the Bostons came to- gether again to-day, with chances greatly favoring the beanfed nine. Klobedanz and Bergen were in the points for the Bostons, and Esper and Murphy for the Browns. In the first inning the Browns, who went first to bat, were blanked. Boston then be- gan the murderous assault on the poor home team, assisted by Cross’ errors. Hamilton went out, Hartman to Doug- las. Tenney took first on Cross’ error. Long hit to Hartman who threw over Douglas’ head into the Hammerstein's ‘Olympia and Tenney scored. Duffy hit to Hartman, who fumbled like a vacant lot kid and Duffy took first. Stahl was given a bouquet when he came to bat, and the best he could do in re- sponse was a home-run over the left-field fence. Lowe took first on Gross’ error. Collins cut a three-bagger. Bergen went out, Esper to Douglas. Klobedanz retired the side in the same way. Five runs. Second inning—For St. Louis, McFarland doubled to left. Houseman went out third to first. Tenney threw wild to third and McFarland scored. Gross flied to Duffy. Murphy hit safe and went to second on a passed ball. Esper walked. Douglas went out Klobedanz to Tenney. One run. Boston was blanked in the second. Third inning—St. Louis scored one in the third on hits by Hartman, McFarland and Houseman. Boston tried hard to score in the third. After two werd Jins followed with one to Turner. Lowe started home and Turner returned the ball ol ea who threw Lowe at the plate. No St. Louls was blanked in one, two, three order in the fourth. Cross’ hit to Collins forced out McFarland made a circus catch of Hamilton’s long fly. St. Louis scored one the fifth after Dowd had forced Hartman, who had singled out at second. McFarland took a base on balls and Houseman hit safely, scoring Dowd. Cross’ hit to Collins forced out McFarland at third. One run. Boston was blanked in the fifth, Murphy making the trick possible by beautiful throwing to second base. No runs. One, two, three was the way the Browns went out in the sixth. In the sixth Boston scored two runs eas- ily on a base on balls to Lowe, followed by hits by Bergen, Klobedanz and Hamilton. Long and Tenney retired the Browns in the seventh. BY THE NECK.

Charles Boehm Called to Kill His Wife, but She Escaped. Charles Boehm, a cabman who lives at 925 Elliott street is married, but his wife, Jose- phine, has left him and lives with Mrs. Lewis, at 1715 South Tenth street. Saturday afternoon Boehm drove to 1716 South Tenth and told Mrs. Lewis who came to the door that he had come to kill his wife. Mrs. Lewis shut the door in his face and warned Mrs. Boehm. Mrs. Boehm heard her husband pounding on the door and she was frightened. She leaped out of a second story window, scaled the back fence and limped away, having sprained her ankle, Boehm continued to hammer on the door and Mrs. Lewis let him in. He proceded to his wife’s room, broke the furniture, shot holes in the walls and smashed the win- dows. He then got on his cab and drove off. RELAY BICYCLE RACE. .

FAIR GROUNDS RACE TRACK, Magy 22.—The 50-cent gate had a distinct effect on Saturday's atendance. It was a half holiday crowd, fully five thousand in num- ber. It had money and instituted a vigor- ous argument with the nine regular and two fleld books. . The grand stand was a pretty sight in the space opposite the judges’ stand, where there was a thick cluster of red and purple bonnets and variegated shirt waists. There was more than the usual ate tendance on the club-house veranda. The first race brought seven fair 3-year- olds to the gate to go the mile route, Courtesy, with Slaughter up and Stella B., were fancied by the form players. The for- mer could be had for 56 to 2.

OTHER QUE Opinions of Democratic Governors on How the Various Factions Can Best Unite. Special to rhe Post: Dispatch. NEW YORK. May 22.—The question as to how Democrats and bolting gold men In and out of Congress can best unite for the country’s g00d has been submitted to va- rious Governors by the Journal. Only one, O’Ferrall of Virginia, is opposed to free silver. These teplies are published to-day: ‘Permit the widest latitude in the coun- cils of the party, but after the majority have decided upon the polictes to be pursued there should be prompt acquiescence in the result and a hearty co-operation by all in carrying out the expressed will of the ma- jority. I think that the Democratic repre- sentatives in Congress should agree upon a policy and present an unbroken front in carrying it out. “JOSEPH F. JOHNSTON,” “Governor of Alabama. “Adherence to the Democratic creed an- nounced in the national platform adopted at Chicago. Those who cannot support its declarations are not Democrats., The'r op- position to the Dingley bill should be placed upon the doctrine of-tariff-for-revenue-only. “ROBERT B. SMITH, “Governor of Montana.” “T favor no compromise and know of nc common ground upon which Democrats can meet with single gold standard advocates, Strip the Democratic party of its doctrine of bimetallism, and it is a useless thing and can serve no purpose. A gold standard man should go with the Republicans. They are weights upon the Democratic party. And there is no common ground between us and them. I had rather have the Dingley bill fled upon the McKinley bill with bimetal- ism than to have the lowest possible tariff with the single gold standard. Let us fight it out on this line and agree to no com- promise. DAN W. JONBS, | “Governor of Arkansas. “Quit acting the fool and fighting each other, and turn their faces to the foe. Eternal war upon the high protective tariff, the combines, the civil service fraud, the Republican party in general, and the Devil in particular. agree upon Democratic meas- ures and fight for them as a unit, good gov- ernment, honest men in high places, pro- tection to the weak and justice to the strong. ROBERT L. TAYLOR, ° “Governor of Tern -esee. “If the Republican ‘party ‘has legislation to offer which would promote the genera! welfare, the Democrats should not o truct ts enactment, If the Republicans’ policies . detrimental, the sooner proved by legis- lation, the better for the lee The Democ- racy should unite in pointing out the defects of the proposed measures during their pen- dency and record its vote against them, but not needlessly obstruct where obstruction will prove futile. JAMES H. BUDD, “Governor of California.” “Dividing issues cannot be set aside. Cur- rency reform and anti-monopoly will not give way to any art'ficial issue raised for party harmony. Bimetallism is the issue which muet be settled at once. Unless the Democrats stand firm to the principles ad- vocated in the last campaign, the successful accomplishment of these reforms must come through the Populist parte: “ANDREW E. LEE, “Governor of South Dakota.” Gov. McLaurin of Mississippi thought there should be no factions; that tariff for reve- nue only, and good hard money, gold and silver, shoull be principles that all should fight for until they prevail.

POPE'S RULING, Orders to Catholic Churches in America Looking to Using English In- stead of Other Lahguagts, *~‘ >” * CHICAGO, May 22.—Information was ob- tained to-day that Rome has just trans- mitted to the Catholic Church in the United States the most s:gnificant ruling of recent America. The decision, which has. refer- ence to parishes made up of foreigners, is literally as follows: 1. Children born in America of foreign parents whose native language is not the English, are not obliged when of age to become members of the parish to which their parents belong; but they have the right to join a parish in which the jianguage of the country—that is, English—is used. 2. Catholics not born in America, but knowing the English language, have the right of becoming members of the parish in which English is in use, and they cannot be compelled to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the rec- tor of a church built for people who con- tinue to speak the language of a for- elen country. The evident purpose of Rome is to make English the language of the American Church as speedily as possible, and thus to encourage the development of a spirit of more perfect union among the members of the Catholic faith. Parishes in which a foreign language {s used are tolerated as temporary institutions, which will disap- pear a8 soon as the conditions making their erection expedient will have passed away. The present ruling is perfectly consistent with the enlightened eye policy adopted and followed by Leo XIII. STEPHENS’ APPOINTMENTS. Fish Commissioners, Geologists and a Brigadier-Gen*ral.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, May 22.—A presidential elec- tion is in progress in the republic of Cuba to-day, but owing to the turbulent condition of the island, it has been found impossible to choose the new executive by popular vote. The ciyil condition of Cuba at present ‘s simply of necessity. The island is now di- vided into four States. Each State has a governor, with limited power. The governor will consult with other officers of state and will appoint delegates to an electoral college. This presidential congress will then vote for the esident and Vice-President. ‘The number of delegates is determined by the population of the States. Dr. Eusebio Hernandez, one of the most prominent ¢andidates for the Presidency of the Cuban republic, is regarded with favor by his countrymen in America. Of the other two candidates, Cisneros and Masso, the former is more popular, and the Cubans here think he will be elected for another term, Masso is now Vice-President. Dr. Hernandez is a native of the province of Matanzas and is 44 years old. When the revolution broke out he went with Garc'a on the ill-starred Hawkins expedition. He reached Cuba with Garcia on his second ex- pedition in the Bermuda. The Cubans of- fered him a pipes as representative in South America, but he preferred to remain on the Island, and accepted the foreign affairs portfolio in the cabinet of President Cis- néros. He left that office to become private peverctas in the field to Gen. Gomez, a post e still fills. His wife, the daughter of a Cuban millionaire, lives in this city. He will probably be elected Vice-President, FREE FIGHT BY STATESMEN. Duke of Tetuan Boxes Senator Comas’ ' Ears, Resigns, but Reconsiders. MADRID, May 22.—An exciting incident which culminated in a free fight in the Chamber of Deputies was provoked by the statement of the Duke of Tetuan, that Senor Sagasta’s speech the other day to the Lib- erals had .contributed to bring about the vote in the American Senate. Gen. Luis Pando said: "The thing now happening is due to the ccwardice and feebleness of the Govern- ment.’’ Senor Comas: morrow ?’’ “We will discuss it,’’ replied the Duke of Tetuan, ‘but I will accept dictation: from mqneey- “Nor I either,’’ replied Senator Comas, at tp top of his voice. t this point the Duke .of.Tetuan, pale with excitement, boxed both ears of Senator Comas and felled him to the floor. of Comas threw himself’upon the Duke and struck him a heavy blow with his fist. Sev- eral Senators intervened and a general ecuffle ensued, there was great confusion and it was some time before order was re- stored. The Duke of Tetuan tendered his resignation immediately after the incident. It is believed that he misunderstood the reply of Senator Comas, as he is regarded as an extremely courteous and honorable man, Senor Comas is a professor at the Uni- versity of Madrid and is held in high esteem in scholastic and political circles, Senor Canovas, Senor Sagasta and the President of the Senate had a long confer- ence on the subject of the affray, but all maintained the greatest reserve. he Senate resumed the session in the evening, but no reference was made to the incident. It adjourned at 10 o’clock, after which the immediate witnesses deliberated with the seconds of the Duke of Tetuan and Senator Comas for an’ hour before the seconds decided that under the code duello a duel] was unnecessary. The Duke of Tetuan has withdrawn his resignation on the advice of the Premier, Senor Canovas del Castillo, who, the per- sonal question of the dispute having been closed by the seconds of the two parties deciding that a duel was not necessary, and in view of the pendency of important inter- national questions, thinks the Ministry should not be disorganized. The law students have made a man’festa- tion in front of the house of Senator Comas, hooting the Duke of Tetuan. They were dispersed by the police.

Senor De Lome also called the attention of the gy dy ot to the probability that as soon as the belligerency of the Cuban in- surgents had been formally recognized, Spain would blockade every port in Cuba and prevent imports or exports from or to American ports. He deplored the ruin that has overtaken commerce through the ¢lyil war and deftly accentuated fhe greater evils following upon a regular blockade.

MADRID, May 22.—Senor Moret y Pren- dergast asked the Government, on behalf of the Liberals in the Chamber of Deputies, to submit all the papers relating to the re- bellion in Cuba and to the diplomatic rela- tions of Spain with the powers. Senor Canovas, the Premier, said that the Government could only attach credit to such information as was sent by “Capt.- Gen. Weyler, He severely ‘criticised the American newspapers for disseminating “false news’’ and cited as a case in point recent statements attributed to Consul- General Lee, The Premier said: “Spain's relations with other powers con- tinue cordial, but the advice which the Americans are offering us as to Cuba can- not be followed, because Spain; will never ss any intervention in a matter which pecullarly concerns herse]f. The documents which have been asked for would only re- fer to this advice. The Government has accepted full responsibility for everything pha has been done by Capt.-Gen.

NEW YORK, May 22.—A special to the Journal from Madrid says: Your. corre- spondent has just had an interview with Premier Canovas. He said in reply to the uestion ag to the significance of the United States Senate’s vote that he did not trou- ble himself a bit about it, because Pres- ident McKinley would continue to observe absolute neutrality. He does not yet know if Mr. McKinley will use the right of veto. “Even if he does not,’’ said the Premier, “neutrality decides many questions. W shall be able to fight the rebels bettter, and we ghall be able to move eo about and employ the right of overhauling. We should also have the advantage of no having to observe jurisdiction on the sea.”’ In the Chamber.of Deputies the impres- sion caused by the Senate's resolution has not been s0 deep as it was thought it would be. The resolution is regarded as discounted in advance. TURKEY’s PRETENSIONS, i Mesa Sa M. Hanotaux Hopes She Will Renounce Them. PARIS, May 22.—The Chamber of Depu- ties was crowded to-day when M.

In doing so the Deputy expressed the hope that France would not permit Thessaly to be taken from Greece or permit a Buropean control of Greek finances. He also expressed regret at the fact. that Ger- man influence at Constantinople had super- ceded French influences there. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, M. Hanotaux, in reply, said he hoped that, in view of the accord of Europe, Turke would renounce her pretensions; although the task would be slow, it was reasonable to believe that the counsels of the Powers would yltimately prevail, (Applause.) MADRID PRESS OPINION. Action of the United States Senate Re- garded as a Grave Btep. MADRID, May 22.—The newspapers here consider the adoption by the United States Senate of Senator Morgan's belligerency res- ‘olution a very grave step.

SPARKLING SPEECH ON THE PO- LITICAL SITUATION. SPOKE FOR LLOYD AT BEVIER. McKinley’s Mythical Prosperity Touched Up and the Whole Repub- lican Outfit Punctured. Rpecial to the Post-Dispatch. MACON, Mo., May 22.—Congressman Champ Clark and Edgar M. Richmond of Macon addressed 12,000 or 15,000 people at Bevier, this county, last night, in the in- terest of James T. Lloyd, the Democratic nominee for Congress. The ; eagetad ames made intelligent coal miners an usiness ~ Baga divided between Democrats and Republicans and Populists. The audience was intensely interested in both speeches, and srequently applauded them. There were ber of ladies present. "Sevia Andrews, Bevier’s Democratic | Committeeman, presided and introduced the speakers. Music was furnished by the Bevier band. Champ Clark spoke first, and for one hour and thirty minutes. Mr. Clark said he had no abuse to make against anybody s politics or opinions. There was no law pe revent any voter from making a fool o mself. he aggregate of epublicans would not do to tie to. The Republican party was wrong on every proposition. The Re- ublicans represent the money classes, the the people. The oe ublicans’ promises have proved a gorgeous, Peenstrous falsehood. He asked if the Re- publicans had fulfilled their promises, and many cries of ‘“‘No, no, no,”” came from the enthusiastic audience. Mr. Clark said the McKinley prosperity was a myth, a jack o’lantern, a will 0 the wisp, and like finding the end of a rainbow. While the Republicans wanted to appro- oxriate money to help suffering Americans n.Cuba they were too cowardly to give the Cubans belligerent rights. He said Mc- Kinley was elected to legalize and continue the gold standard, but had taken up higher tariff instead. The international agree- ment cannot be accomplished. It is taken up to foo] the people and intended to help re-elect Mark Hanna and carry other elec- tions this fall. The monetary commission will not consult the people, but will see the plutocrats. It was the Republicans’ duty to cut loose and vote with the Democrats. He was giad the gold-bug Democrats were disappointed in McKinley. They might have known the Ethiopian never changed the color of his skin or the leopard his spots. Referring to the Dingley bill, the epeaker said God Almighty intended for him to buy nice things for his wife and babies, but never intended to force him to buy nice things for other people's wives and babies. He said the people under the Dingley Dill were permitted to grease a big fat hog— the Sugar Trust—and it had to be greased, because this and other trusts furnished Hanna the stuff to elect McKinley. the enormous duties to be and other goods. He scored the Dingley bill and proved how it would rob the common people. He rid- iculed the bill regarding the tariff proposed on foreign milk, eggs and cabbage, and told Jerry Simpson's story about cabbage-head- ed people who voted against Bryan, r. Clark said there was no item on the free list in the peer bill the people had any use for. The Republicans had prom- ised higher wages an Yemocrats represent He showed u added on woolen no strikes, but the Bevier coal miners had not received higher wages. Besides, there were strikes and re- ductions in wages in other sections of the country. Mr. Clark said Uncle Sam, the Govern- ment, was busted, and the Republicans busted him. The Republicans had intended to take the people’s propery and give it to the aristocrats and millionaires. He enu- mere? the pulMepairgs among McKinley's Cabinet and foreign ministers. The Govern- ment, under present conditions, was drift- ing into a government of, by and for the hitocrats. In 1900 a man would be elected esident for whom no one would have to pay his debts. he First District Republicans did not dare to make an open canvass and stand the punching. The Republicans wanted less money and more taxes. The Democrats wanted the re- verse. Mr. Clark then discussed the ailver ques- tion in his characteristic way. If a silver flood came the Republicans and gold-bug Democrats would be out first with dish-pans to get it. The people with mortgages and patches should not vote the Republican ticket and make the conditions worse. Mr. Clark advised the Populists to continue the work with the Democrats for silver and vote for Lloyd. The only question was, were the Democrats and Populists right last year? There was no doubt about Lloyd's election, but he wanted the major- ity increased for the people to see that Mis- souril, Bland’s home, was more solid than ever for human freedom and to show the country the silver forces had lost no soldiers since November. He said the history of the defeats of Jefferson and Jackson A their first races for President would be repeated in 1900 by the election of Bryan. “If you want more money and less taxes vote for Lloyd. If you want more taxes and less money then vote for Charles N. Clark the Republican nominee, and may the Lord have mercy on your fool souls.’ He advised the Populists to not go half way and help Maj. Clark by throwing their _ votes away on the Populist candidate. Edgar M. Richmond was then introduced and gone for fifteen minutes, and eloquent- ly and earnestly called on all his friends to work and vote for Lloyd, and if they did their full es | Lloyd would have 56,000 ma. jority. He said he had guaranteed in other counties Macon ren would do its duty for Lloyd. He said the kindest favor his friends could bestow upon him would be to Yote and get their neighbors to vote for Lioyd. Loyd was, he said, the people’s friend, wjhile Maj. Clark, the Republican candidate, represented the reverse. Rich- mond was Lloyd's strongest competitor for the Democratic nomination. Mr. Richmond discussed the money and tariff issues breifiy including McKinley's promised prosperity, dime, ane then wee ryan would win next , 8 with the people ce and mercy would be Street Railway Receivership.

DECLINE IN SILVER. It Has Fallen Greatly in This Country and Abroad. NEW YORK, May 22.—The Journal this morning says: Silver bullion has just sold at 60 cents per ounce, the lowest point it has ever touched. except for a short period in 1894, when it sold at 58 cents per ounce. The steady decline in silver is attracting considerable attention abroad. Paris haa been fairly flooded with South American dollars, which have been sold as low as 2 francs 22 centimes for the dollar. The rice of silver in the Indian bazaars has allen to 76 rupees, the lowest price on record. The exchange between London and Shanghai has also falien to almost the lowest point, and even at the low rate China does not absorb a large quantity of silver. Dating from the declaration by Japan of its intention to abandon the use of silver as its standard coinage and go upon & gold basis, the price of the white metal has been steadily eclining, CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.

RECOVERED HER HORSE DEXTER Dorothy Lobstein Goes From French Village to East St. Louis Clad in a Wrapper. Bareheaded, barefooted and clad in a thin calico wrapper, pretty Dorothy Lobstein, a blonde of 18, chased a horsethief from French Village to East 8t. Louis, a dis. tance of eight miles, at 6 a. m. Saturday and compelled the scoundrel to surrender the stolen animal. In the confusion incident to the exciting episode the thief was allowed to leisurely make his escape. The police have a descrip- tion of the culprit, and if they are enabled to press Miss Lobstein into a further search, it is thought he may finally be captured. The heroine is the only child of Louis Lob- stein, a wealthy retired farmer, living in French Village. Three weeks ago the old gentleman pur- chased a valuable buggy horse and pre- sented the beast to his daughter, Dorothy. The young lady immediately named the horse ‘‘Dexter,”’ and Dorothy and Dexter at once became fast friends. Saturday morning Dorothy’s father got up at 4 o’clock, as was his custom, and went to the barn to do the chores. He found the stable door open and ‘Dexter’ ne. He at once informed‘his daughter, who without waiting to make her morning toilet, shouted back, “Well, if my poor Dexter's gone I will go and find him.’’ FT and I'll go with you,” said the fa- er. It was agreed that they proceed to East St. Louis and report the case to the author- ities. Dorothy insists that she had a pre- sentiment that they would overtake the thief and horse en route. At any rate it was arranged that the old gentleman should pursue the St. Clair County turn- pike, Dorothy to chase along the Louis- ville & Nashville Railroad, which is the shortest route to East St. Louis. The young lady ran nearly the entire eight miles. Her father, who is quite aged and feeble, plodded along the dusty rock road at a slow gait, and reached thé city nearly thirty minutes later than his daughter. He ambled direct to police headquarters to re- port the case. Not so with Dorothy. When the young lady reached Sixth street she left the rail- road and walked south several blocks to the Heim brewery. Her feelings may be better imagined than described when on assing the brewery she spied her ‘‘Dexter’”’ arnessed toa va mig £ with a smooth-shaven meee man driving him into the city. With one bound Dorothy was at her pet's side, and commanded the driver to ‘“‘halt!”’ ‘““‘What for?” asked the supposed thief. | “Why, this is my horse you are driving, you nasty scamp, and I want him,” screamed the girl. ‘‘You stole him from my father’s stable, you thief.’’ Then Dorothy proceeded to unharness the horse, but discovered that the harness also was her father’s. The driver undertook to whip up and away from the excited girl, but Dorothy. clung to the bridle like grim death. During the confusion a man passed and Dorothy appealed to him to assist her in recovering the horse. The stranger, it seems without demanding an explanation sympa- thized with Dorothy and unhitche the traces and led the horse out of the shafts. Dorothy led the horse to the home of a relative a few blocks distant, borrowed a dress and bonnet and started to the police station to meet her father. In the meantime Mr. Lobstein had reached the station and reported the theft, and in re- turning to a relative’s met his daughter on Collinsville avenue. It required a few words from her to explain the situation. However, no effort has been made to cap- ture the thief. Dorothy said she believed she could find him, and suiting the action to the word, she started in pursuit of the cul- prit. At Grand avenue, half a mile from where she captured the horse, she sighted the buggy going south. Dorothy dodged through winding streets and muddy alleys never losing sight of the rig. The man had in the meantime procured another horse by some mysterious means, and the police are attempting to solve the problem. Dorothy secretly followed the outfit fully two miles, and the driver pulled into an alley at Converse avenue, unhitched the second horse and mysterious] ggg, jane leaving the surrey in the: alley. orothy came up to the ong te surrey finally and discovered that the vehicle had been stolen from Ferdinand Rabiteau, a farmer living near French Village. The police are searching for the thief. RAIDERS REBUFFED. Met a Sheriff’s Posse and One Got Bad- ly Shot. CINCINNATI, O., May 22.—A_ dispatch from Owingsville, Ky., tells of a pitched bat- tle last night between a mounted mob of toll-gate raiders and a Sheriff’s posse of twelve men. The Sheriff and posse were guarding a toll-house when twenty-five mounted men rode up heavily armed, and ordered the keeper to chop the gate down The Sheriff ordered them to surrender, The mob fired and the Sheriff's posse replied. After several volleys the men withdrew and the posse found David Johnson mortally wounded. [t is reported that another man, Charles Jones, was seriously hurt. BLEEDING PILES And all other forms of this common and often dangerous disease readily cured without pain or inconvenience. Thousands of men and women are af- flicted with some sort of piles, without either knowing the exact nature of the trouble, or knowing it, are careless enough to allow it to run without takin the simple means offered for a radica cure. ; The failure of salves and ointments to ermanently cure piles has led many to Lslieve the only cure to be a surgical operation. Surgical operations are dangerous to life, and moreover not often entirely suc- cessful, and at this time are no longer used by the best physicians or recom- mended by them. The safest and surest way to cure any case of piles, whether blind, bleeding or protruding, is to use the Pyramid Pile cure, composed of healing vegetable oils, and absolutely free from mineral poisons and opiates. The following lettter from a Pittsburg gentleman, a severe sufferer from bleeding piles, aig some idea ot the prompt, ¢ ectual character of this pile cure. He writes: __, I take pleasure writing these few lines to let you know that I did not sleep for three months except for a short time each night because of a bad case of bleeding piles. I was down in bed, and the doc- tors did me no good. A good brother told me of the Pyramid Pile cure, and I bought from my druggist three fifty-cent boxes.

The bicycle salesman was reading an even- ing paper. ; “What's the matter now?’ asked the dentist. “Why, here's a fellow that went into a house right in the broad of day and choked a woman and got away with all the money and jewelry. “That's nothing—for Chicago,” said the “lush.” ‘Over here on the West Side they went into a house while the family were in the dining-room and moved out all the furniture in the parlor, including the ptano. a * left the carpets, I believe.”’ “When was that?’ asked the bicycle I can't remem- youth, “Oh, most any old time. ber the dates of all the robberies in Chi- cago.”’ “They talk of Chicago having so many robberies, but I was never held up,” said the book agent. “Did you ever hold—no, The idea,” said the “‘lush.’ ‘“‘What was that you asked?” ‘Tl wondered if you had ever one held up,” answered the “lush. “No, I never saw anything of the kind, as much as I’ve heard of it.” ane you ever held up, Doc?” asked the sé us 9? “Not in Chicago. These fellows know retty well whom to tackle and Whom to eave alone. A man attempted to rob me out west once, and I had another experience in St. Louis, but they didn’t get anything either one.”’ “Well, they got me once,” said the light- ning dentist. “It was soon after I came to Chicago, and I didn’t know the town very well. I lived out in Michigan avenue and I started to walk home about midnight, tak- ing the stone sidewalk, along by the Lake Front park. The park was as dark as a nest of black cats, but the street lamps along the avenue lighted the sidewalk:pretty well. I didn’t see any one else on the long walk until I passed Harrison street,and then I saw two fellows come across the avenue and walk toward me. Even then I had no sus- picions. “They separated a few feet and I came near them, and then one of them stopped and asked me what time it was. I startec to reach for my watch, and the other fel- low—the one who hadn’t said anything before—edged up to me and said: ‘You keep ae or I'll blow a hole in you,’ and then saw his revolver. You bet I kept quiet, too. They took me between them and marched me out into the park, and one of them held the gun at me while the other went through me. He took a watch and chain that my father used to own, $8 In money and a cameo ring.”’ “And you stood there and let them take ipene things?’’ asked the “lush,” as if in sgust. a es, and you’d have done the thing.”’ “T’ll bet you I wouldn’t. I'll bet you I‘d have hollered and run.’’ “Tt’s all very well for a man to talk,” said the dentist, “but when you see a big revolver pointed at you, you can’ think of anything except to keep still.”’ “Tf a man gets the drop on you, the only thing to do is to 7" cool and make no resistance,” said ‘‘Doc’’ Horne. “You should have crossed the street When you saw the two men coming over toward you. That would have shown them that you suspected them, and they wouldn’t have taken a chance in following you back across the street. There’s nearly always some way of outwitting a footpad if you only keep cool and use your thhead. Three of them ‘thad me cornered once and thought they were going to get $2,500, but I fooled them just the same.”’ ‘Was that in Chicago?” as ked the dentist. “No, in St. Louis, shortly after the war. I had been there several weeks negotiating some business for New York parties, and in that time I had become pretty well ac- quainted with the moneyed men around town, who, at that time were inclined to be rather sporty. I gambled occasionally, my- self. One night went into the largest ambling house with a friend of mine and Fomine to play roulette. It's a game I seldom played, but I had a ys to play it this night. Well, sir, I lost $500 almost as fast as I could buy — Finaily, I had $ worth of white onpe left and I pushed them over on the double-o, and, much to my surprise, the double-o came. That was the turn of my luck. Within an hour I had $3,000 in front of me. I lost back to $2,500 and cashed in. The dealer had to give me an order on the proprietor, and as I didn’t want to carry small bills, he gave me two $1,000 bills and one $500 bill. He said he’d keep the money in the safe for me, but I was accustomed to handling large sums, so I just took the bills and a them in my vest pocket. My friend and I left the place. I walked with Him to the corner and then started for home—I then had apartments in a private house. “On my way home I had to pass through the wholesale district.

Their plan was, evidently, for the two men in front to slacken their pace so that I would catch up with them and the two men coming up behind would make me completely surrounded; four men to one.

In the meantime the fellows who been follow- ing behind had stopped to see what Was go- ing to happen. hey were probably sur- prised to see me call this fellow back. As for him, he didn’t Know what to do. I told him I wanted to mail a letter, and had for- gotten part of the address and wanted to ut it on, as it was pea Bot tae that the let- er get into the mail the first thing In the morning. The explanation séemed to sat- isfy him. He came up to me, handed-me a stub of pencil, and I rested the letter on the card-case, wrote my St, Louis address on the envelope and dropped it into a mall- box. It was a big chilled-steél box, put there for the convenience of some of the wholesale houses that sent out quantities of mail. “After I had mailed the letter I said to the man who had loaned me the pencil: ‘Are you going down street?’ e mumbled etacarec ay and I followed. along and we overtook his partner in front. Presently the two men behind came up, and-the five of us walked along in silence. It was a darker part of the street, and I. knew they were about ready to state their business, so I stopped all of a sudden, and said: ‘Gentle- men, what can I do for you?’ They were surprised, but a big fellow, one of the two who had been behind, said: ‘You'd better give us that $2,500 if you want to get. home alive.’ I replied that I had no such sum. ‘We know better,’ the big fellow said: ‘We saw you put itdn your pocket when you lef gambling house,’ and he started to cOWe at me. ‘Hold on,’ I. said. ‘Don’t get ex- cited. It is true that I had $2,500, but I put it into an envelope and mailed it to myself at that big box back there. One of your party was kind enough to give me the pen- cil with which I wrote the addregs.’. “Then I said to them: ‘Gentlemen; if you want that money go and get it out of the meil box. If you think you can break into a steel box which is on a corner; under a street lamp, and not get into trouble with the police, why go ahead and try it.’ The big fellow cursed and began to threaten, but I said: ‘It won’t do you any good to attack me. You're four to one, but I'll kill one of you before you can get me out of the way.’ Then one of the fellows said: ‘What's the use, boys? He’s too slick for us.’ The four simply turned and walked away, and I went on home. Next morning when I reached. the office, there was my letter with the $2,500 in it, lying on the desk with the other mail.”’ “Well, I'll be dog-goned!"’ exclaimed the bicycle youth. “Say, what would you have done if that fellow hadn't let you ve the pencil?’’ “I'd have put it In the envelope without any address on it.

It Is Said Mr. Calhoun Has Informed the State Department to That Effect. CHICAGO, May 22.—A epecial to the Times-Herald from Washington, D. C.,says: The State Department has received, ac- cording to one of the minor officials, a semi-official report from Mr. Calhoun, who was sent by the President to Havana to make a special inquiry into the circum- stances surrounding the death of Dr. Ruiz, American citizen, in the Guanabacoa jail. The report ie to the effect that Dr. Ruiz was murdered, though it will be impossible to establish this fact to the satisfaction of the Spanish Government. Mr. Calhoun has read the report of the autopsy made by Dr. Burgess, who says the wounds in the head could not have been inflicted by Dr. Ruiz himself. Dr. Ruiz was evidently struck. from behind, probably with a bar of iron, which fractured the skull and caused hemorrhage. The report of Mr. Calhoun, it is said, goes further and declares that the Spanish officials, instead of doing anything to as- sist the investigation, are placing every ob- stacle in the way and using every effort t so frighten the witnesses that it will be impossible to secure full testimony, he result, Mr. Calhoun says, will be that the United States Government will form an entirely different conclusion from _ that which will be arrived at by the Spanish Government. It is not likely that the offi- cial report of Mr. Calhoun will be received in he asta ah before the middle of next month. QUITE A FAMILY MAN.

LONDON, May 22.—Queen Victoria’s brief visit to Sheffield this afternoon was made the’ occasion of a great demonstration of loyalty and affection for the venerable sovereign. Business was entirely sus- pended throughout the day, and through the judicious expenditure of $50,000 appro- priated by the munic!pal authorities and subscribed by the citizens, the smoky town was for the time transformed into fairyland. Triumphal floral arches spanned @ score of streets, and the fronts of business and resi- dence structures were almost hidden from view by artistic floral designs of bunting. Her Majesty and suite left Windsor on the new royal train this morning and reached the Midland Ratlway station shortly after 5 o’clock, Escorted by a de- tachment of regulars, a regiment of yeo- manry and two companies of the local volunteers, the Queen was driven to the new town hall. ere, without leaving her carriage, she received loyal addresses of a from the corporation, the Cutlers’ ompany and the town trustees.

Everybody stops to listen when grandpa talks about Grandpa's talks are more was a boy. The children interesting than a book. lay aside their toys. his paper. for a time. Grandpa’s story goes back to a time before many of us were born. It is a story of many privations and few pleas- ures. It is a narration of hardships and struggles with wild men and wild beasts. It is a tale of great labor and scant re- wards. Grandpa tells about the time when he and grandma started life. Their home was a log cabin and they depended for a livelihood upon their strong muscles and brave hearts. Grandpa worked from sun to sun clearing away forests, Grandma made her own and grandpa’s ¢lothes. She even spun the cloth. She worked for weeks to produce the crudest garments. Everything was done by hand. There is a lesson in health in grandpa’s stories. Te tells about how hard he and grandma worked, but he doesn’t tell how hard they slept. He tells of the long hours of oe but not of the long hours of rest. He doesn’t tell of their simple, plain food—of how perfectly they digested and assimilated it. _ People nowadays do not depend so en- tirely upon their muscles for a livelihood. The greatest strain is on their brains. They scheme and plan by day and when night comes their brains refuse to rest. They keep Jate hours. They rush—they hurry. they are perpetual-motion ma- chines. They eat every sort of indigest- ible thing that cooks can concoct. Almost before childhood is past indi- gestion begins. People begin to die just when they ought to live. Constipation ts the first serious ailment. It is an air- brake on the: body’s ep omnes 4 When the bowels do not work the whole body stops. The blood becomes impure be- cause the digestive organs do not throw off the waste material in the system. The whole organism limps along like a man on crutches. The nerves are tantalized and sting the brain like nettles. Asa con- sequence, people become irritable, ill-tem- pered and despondent. Then the general health breaks down, and some deadly dis- ease like nervous prostration or consump- tion sets in. Men and women nowadays need to re- sort occasionally to some first-class tonic. They need something that will tone up the stomach and put an edge on the appetite. They need something to stimulate their livers. They need something to brace them up generally. e best “something” of this description is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. - It will make a man “hungry as a horse.” It will make him “sleep fike atop.’ It will get him up in the morning fresh and bright as a new dollar.

He had a better appetite, and was feeling much better.

He has weighed more since using your medi- cines than he ever weighed Culees He gained about twenty-eight pounds. When he was at his worst he looked like a skele- ton, but after he began to look so well and hearty, the people would say: ‘Well, George, we all thought in the spring that you would be in your grave by this time.’ his was in the fall after he took your medicine. Our home doctor had re- marked that he could not live very long, and when he saw the change, he Said: ‘Well, I am surprised to see so great a change in that length of time.’ At this time the fame of ‘Golden Medical Discov- ery spread rapidly through all that neigh- borhood. The people saw with their own eyes the change made by Dr. Pierce's medicine.” “IT am very thankful to Henry Weling, Esq., of 18 Seventh Ave- nue, South, St. Cloud, Minn. “My hand which was badly affected with eczema for four years, was all right after eight weeks’ use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery.

A mere executive act suspending the coinage of one of the precious metals does not make the other the gole mon- etary standard. Accordingly, an inor- dinate increase in the value of gold and corresponding decrease in the value of everything measured by it, did not fol- low Jefferson’s order of suspension. The power to resume silver coinage remained with us until destroyed by the Sherman demonetization law of 1873. That power was partially restored by the Bland-Al- lison law of 1878, but that law was re- pealed by the Sherman law of 1890, and the repeal of the Sherman law left us with gold alone as the monetary measure of value. —— ¢ are the most. in their objection to the term and plication to themselves in any way.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. s | mene — —— a ne A BAZOO EXCURSION. Editor J. West Goodwin of Sedalia Is at the Helm. Chaperoned by J. West Goodwin, the vet- eran editor of the Sedalia Bazoo, a thousand | or more excursionists will arrive in St. Louls Sunday morning, at 8:15 o’clock. An excursion train on the M., K. & T Railroad, with as many coaches as the patronage warrants, will leave Parsons, an., at o’clock Saturday afternoon, Stops will be made at all intermediate points of any consequence between Parsons and Sedalia. At each station It ig expected that the crowd will be increased. This excursion originated in the fertile brain of Editor Goodwin. As an excursion promoter, he is scarce:y less famous than as an editor. It is called a Bazoo excursion fn honor of the Sedalia Bazoo, the paper that J. West Goodwin founded many years ago. Fora time the Bazoo flourished. Then hard luck was its portion. The veteran editor, however, never surrenders, and there is no telling yet what he may do with his Bazoo, Attaches of the genera assenger and ticket office of the M., K. T. road told @ reporter for the Post-D.spatch Saturday morning that the excursion would doubtless be a@ success, at least 1,000 people being ex- ected on board when the train leaves Se- alia to make a through run to St. Louis. “J. West Goodwin is an excursion manager of the first class,”’ the railroad people said, On arriving in St. Louis the visitors will be turned loose to spend the day in any manner they may see fit. Some of them will probably go to church, some will sit in the shade at the various parks, some will ex- tend their excursion by taking a steamboat ride, while a few may ego out to see the elephant, as élephants are seen in St. Louis. The cholce of several trains will be given the excursion‘sts on their return trip, and the holders of Bazoo tickets have the priv- llege of staying in the city until Monday “ot if they so desire. o J. West Goodwin, the management of excursions is a sort of pleasing pastime. He is not a novice at the art. In his palmy days, when the Bazoo was tooting loudly, there were many hangings throughout Cen- tral Missouri. In those days the law did not limit the number of spectators at hangings. All executions were public, and the people for miles around made a sort of a holiday out of each occasion. No circus ever drew eres crowds than these public hangings. Red lemonade was on sale, and in man other ways the circus atmosphere prevailed. J. West odwin conceived the idea of run- ning excurs'ons to the hangings, and the coaches of the trains that he chartered were yee de well filled. The people were de- termined to witness the execution of crim- inals, even if they had to ride to the scene in a tarm wagon. This being the case, J. est Goodwin was declared a public bene- factor, since he made terms with the rail- who that the general public could not Of late years there have been no ur- sions to hangings. The law baa been changed, eo that executions are conducted with Great rivacy. But the excursion idea still clings to the veteran Bazoo editor. ALARMED THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

Professors at Lick Observatory Don’t Speak as They Pass By. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 22.—Di- rector Holden and Prof. Hussey of the Lick Observatory are at outs, A peace commis- sion is already on its way to the scene of hostilities, headed by Judge C. W. Slack and directed by the regents, to hear their grievances, to arbitrate their differences if possible, and if not, to recommend some course that will restore harmony ames the astronomers. Timothy Guy Phelps wil prone assist in the investigation. Gov. udd was to have been present, but was recalled to Sacramento on business. The difficulty began with the inability of Prof, Holden and his subordinates to agree. After the resignation of Prof. Barnard, Holden recommended Prof. Hussey of Stan- ford University for the vacancy. At first Hussey refused, but afterwards he recon- sidered and accepted the offer. The new astronomer declares that Prof. Holden told him he was to take Barnard’s place and go on with Barnard’s work. Director Holden has represented to Judge Slack and others of the regents that Hussey was never em- ployed under any such agreement. Judge Slack is anxious to compromise the matter if sible, He thinks both men may be satisfied and hopes to prevent any breach of the peace, though the two mén have held only written communication’ with each other for some time and affairs are uite as frigid on top of the mountains as thor were during Barnard's residence there. SAW HIS MOTHER AND DIED. Joseph McDearmon Was fo Weak That Surprise Killed Him. Joseph McDearmon died at the City Hos- pital Friday night and his mother re- proaches herself with being the immedi- ate, though unintentional, cause, McDearmon was a son of the late Dr. John McDearmon of Mexico, Mo. A few weeks ago he was admitted to the hospital suffering from a disease of the throat. Under the treatment he was doing nicely, and his early recovery was anticipated. Friday night his mother called to see him. He was not expecting her, and as he fre uti up and saw her approaching his cot e uttered a cry of joy, half arose, ex- fell back before his mother could reach him. Mrs. McDear- mon watched Dr. Drexler administer pow- erful restoratives and was soon overjoyed to see her son open his eyes with a look of recognition in them. Before he could speak to her, however, he again lapsed into unconsciousness. This time the physicians were powerless to re- vive him, and in a few minutes he was pro- hounced dead. The grief of the devoted mother who had traveled so far to see her son in the hope that her presence might benefit him was pitiful in the extreme. She reproached herself for not warning him of her intend- ed visit. She will take the body of her son to Mexico, Mo., for interment. ended his arms and .

After suffering for five months with con. sumption without medicine or medical at- tention, Albert Fix died Saturday morning in his humble quarters at 213 Cedar street. Last winter Fix, who was a liaborer, caught a heavy cold and neumonia re- sulted. He was out of work and had no means. There were four motherless chil- dren to provide for, and only one, Lewis, aged 16, was able to work. The $2 per week that he got was spent for food to keep the Others alive.

The corner stones of good health are com- plete digestion, sound sleep, pure blood and & perfectly nourished nervous system. The wonderful success of Pa!ne’s celery compound in making people well and keep- ing them so, has always been accounted for by physicians by its extraordinary power of nourishing and regulating all of these functions. It is not strange that so many un- scientific remedies do no permanent good when they disregard this close interdepend- ence of the nerves and the organs of diges- tion and circulation, and attend to but one Geranged part at the expense of al] the The onl possible way that a real last- ing gain in strength and vitality can come is through purer blood, better nourished nerves and t'ssues, more refreshing sleep ons an economy in the expend:ture nerve orce. These are the objective points almed at and attained by Paine’s celery ound. This remarkable remedy cures every form of nervous debility, neura a sleeplessness, melancholy, eadaches, dyspepsia and heart pa tion.

Capelle, Huey, Clinton Co., IIl, PARIS, May 22.—The Fourth Chamber of the Civil Tribunal began the trial of the cross divorce suit brought by Antonio Ter- ry against his wife. Mr. Terry is represented to be the flance of Sibyl Sanderson, the prima donna, for- merly of San: Francisco, the Tprry-Sandér- sOn marriage being contingent upon the suc- cess of this action. Maitre Allain, counsel for Mrs. Terry, stated that the husband had been guilty of notorious intrigues with women in Paris, and had traveled about with Miss Bibyl Sanderson while his wife was left penniless. r and against M 7 ains rs. erry. Some of these charged her with adultery and with habitual drunkenness. Other affidavits from her physicians, her servants and well-known people, directly contradict these, her physiciane affirming that she suffered from excruciating recur- rent pains, requiring high doses of chloral, an abuse of which woul roduce in a wom- an of her constitution an temperament ef- fects similar to those of an intoxicating Maitre Allain insisted that as Mr. Terry was a Spanish subject at the time of the marriage, the court should order an ap- plication of the Spanish law and grant a decree nisi, with a division of the fortune, estimated at 50,000,000 francs, equally be- tween husband and wife. He demanded also that Mrs. Terry should have possession of the child, whom, he said, the father never visited at her school. Maitre Waldeck-Rosseau, attorney for Mr. Terry, declared that the testimony which had been offered against the wife was much below the real enormity of the facts. He denied that Mr. Terry was as wealthy as had been claimed by Maitre Allain. He said that the failure of the Terry sugar planta- tions in Cuba had cost his client 300,000 francs. Finally he asked the court to de- cree Mr. Terry an absolute separation from his wife and to apply the lawé of the United States, leaving the husband in possession y obey entire fortune.

OF HERSELF NOW. MONY PROCEEDING. — a, WOMEN HAVE PROPERTY RIGHTS Therefore, If Well-to-Do, They May Not Look for Support Pend- ing Litigation. In its anxiety to place women on an equality with men, the Missourt Generai Assembly has passed numerous laws for the benefit of married women holding prop- erty. For this they have been applauded by the fair sex. like many other seeming benefits be- stowed upon them by the tyrant man, how- ever, the new laws work the other way on occasions. One of these occasions has arisen in the pending divorce case of Mrs. Charlotte Penningroth against Henry Penningroth, both of whom are individually wealthy. Mrs, Penningroth recently secured an order for 0 a month alimony pending the dis- position of the case, and $250 counsel fees, The testimony showed she was worth $30,- 000) when she instituted the suit and ‘nat since then her mother died, lcuving her 000. Although Penningroth was worth $4500 himself he did not see why he should add to the wealth of the woman who was seeking separation from him. He apnealed to the St, uls Court of Appents, That tribunal reversed the order Satur- day just because the laws of Missouri have been amended for the benefit of married women. The court holds that the right of a mar- ried woman to an order for alimony pend. ing disposition of a divorce sult has always rested on the presumption that she was financially helpless. . his was Mg the theory of the common law that when a woman married, whatever property she owned or might afterward ac- quire became her husband's. 4 Bince the laws of Missouri have raise her from her down-trodden condition and given her property rights of her own, this presumption can no longer hold. Whatever property she may possess is hers alone and n usband can lay claim to it. Pherefore Mrs. Penningroth, with her fortune of $70,000, is not financially help- less and is entitled to no relief from her husband unti] the case is decided. Alimony may be awarded her then. The case was remanded, however, be- @ cause the daughter of the couple figured in the alimony proceedings. Penningroth voluntarily allowed his wife to assume the support of the daughter, and the Court of Appeals holds that he should be compelled to contribute to her support. It leaves it to the lower court to fix that amount. “DISTURBING THE PEACE.” It Covers Nearly All Crimes in the First District Court. The charge of “‘disturbing the peace” is * decidedly comprehensive in the First Dis- trict Police Court, This ig the charge placed against Hannah Bailey in a police summon® issued Satur- day morning by Assistant City Attorney Meigs, on complaint of Mary Sweeney. In some courts the charge would be attempted arson. Mre. Bailey lives at 132% Ripple street, and Mrs. Sweeney's number is 1315. They are neighbors, and were good friends until Friday night. Mrs, Sweeney had a ten-dollar bill that disappeared under pecullar circumstances. She called on Mrs. Bailey and told her she 4id not want to insinuate anything, but there was only one person who could have the money, and that was her old friend Hanpah. Mrs. Bailey denied all sooureere of the missing $10, and they argued the question until their friendship was severed. Mra. Sweeney went home and was soon asleep. Near midnight she was aroused by a bright light under her window. She saw the familiar form of her erstwhile friend, Mrs. Bailey, running at a rapid rate for her home. Mrs. Sweeney hastened out. The odor of coal oll was strong and one side of her frame cottage was in flames, An empty coal oil can was on the ground. Mrs. Sweeney extinguished the flames, she had no more than completed her than Mounted Policeman Gibbons come up. The poiiceman saw the effects of the combination of the coal oil and the match. On this Clty. Ati of alleged facts, the Ass‘stant City At rney issued the sum- mons for a disturbance of the peace, ST. LOUIS CAR CO. WINS. Has Not Infringed Philadelphia Car Co. Patents.

LOCAL NO, 4 WINS AGAINST THE COUNCIL. OPINION BY JUDGE KLEIN, Labor Orgentantions Ste the Right of Persuasion, but Must Go No Further. The fight between the Carpenters’ District Counci) and local No, 4 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, which was taken into the Circuit Court some time ago, resulted in a defeat for the District Council] Saturday through an important de- cision rendered by Judge Klein. There was an effort on the: part of tne District Council to secure the. discharge from employment of the members of Local Union No. 4, a suspended organization; The controlling officers of the latter, among them Fred Swaine, filed a petition for an injunction against President Henry Black- more and other officers of the District Coun- cil, The petition alleged that the District Coun- ceil assumed to dictate that no carpenter should obtain work in St. Louis who was not a member of that organization or re- fused to submit to its control, Its mem- bers sought to secure the discharge of the plaintiffs by declaring them non-union men and threatening to boycott their employers. Judge Klein grantes a sompecery injune- tion and the defendants rested their. case on a demurrer to the petition, on. the grounds that all the members of the loca] union shouid have been joined as plaintiffs and that the faets stated did not entitle the plaintiffs to relief. In a long wriiten opinion egg Klein overrules both grounds of the demurrer. He states that the plaintiffs, being the con- trolling officers, are presumed to have been entrusted by the society with power to pro- tect it. The acts of defendants assail the poctety as a whole, as well as each mem- er. “In effect,’’ Judge Klein, continues, ‘‘the defendants say to the plaintiffs, ‘you must join our council and submit yourselves to our authority and control, or we will pre- vent you from pursuing your trade in St. Louis.” Thereby the voluntary association ad which plaintiffs belong, is interfered wit “Under the circumstances the plaintiffs must be regarded as trustees, authorized to maintain this action. “No formal vote conferring the. power to institute this suit appears. such were fn- dispensable, it might be inferred from the circumstances,”’ In regard to the second ground of the de- murrer, Judge Klein says in effect. It is self-evident truth that the pursuit of happiness is one of inal'enable rig ts which all men are endowed by their Creator. It is equally so that this involves the right of every person to embrace all the lawful oP: porenasseee to labor and earn a livelihood in is chosen vocation. When the right is in- terfered with unlawfully or without just cause, a gr:evious wrong is inflicted. The law affords a roman The defendants have a right by persuasion to !nfluence the plaintiffs to wt the organization which they represent and to persuade employers not to employ plaintiffs, but have no right to go further.’’ AGAINST STRAW BONDSMEN. Delegate King Has Introduced an Ef- fective Ordinance, Delegate John A. King of the Fifteenth Ward introduced a bill at Friday night's meat directed against profess‘onal bonds- men. It repeais the section now in effect and takes its place. The repealed section is embodied in the new ordinance, which provides further that before any person shall be accepted as surety he shall make affidavit stating the nature and location of all property owned by him, whether encumbered in any manner or not, and {if so, for how much, its assessed value and whether assessed in his own name, The total number of bonds, bail, se- curity or otherwise on which he is surety and the total amount of such bonds, whether any gt of his property is used as a home- Stead, and if the total amount of the bonds on which such person is- surety equals the assessed value of his property after deduct- ing the incumbrances and homestead inter- est, he shall not be accepted as a surety. Any false statement made in such an af- fidavit shall constitute a misdemeanor for which a fine of from $% to $509 or imprison- ment for from 30 days to six months may *%e inflicted. In addition no such person shall ever again be accepted as surety. The clerks of the police courts are re- quired to keep’a register to be called “bond register’ in which shal Ibe enteped daily in alphabetical arrangement all bail or appear- ance bonds, The entry will include the date of the bond, the name or name: of the surety the name of the principal and the amount of the bond. When the oase is disposed of the entry “released’’ shall be made “eee the bond, and if forfeited that shall be entered. ae book is to be always open to inspec- on, Mr. King says his intention is not to make it more difficult for people who get in trouble to give bond, but to put a stop to the in- discriminate acceptance of bonds which are never collected when forfeited, CONSTITUTION VIOLATED. Judge Murphy Discharges a Prisoner and Roasts a Detective. Stephens Wellman, who was arrested some time ago Detectives Allender and Smith and charged with stealing a lot of furniture from the residence of Member of the House of Delegates King on Washington avenuo, was discharged Saturday noon by Judge Murphy. After the arrest Detective Allender searched Wellman’s house on Thirteenth street and found there a quantity of furni- ture which was identified by Mr. King ag his. The detective had no search warrant and as soon as Judge Muyrphy learned this fact Saturday he refused to permit the officer to testify and discharged the prisoner. Then he turned upon Allender and roasted him, saying the detective had violated the constition of ‘the United States. His Honor grew quite eloquent, speaking of the “bulwark of human liberty," ete., and ad. dressed those in the court roo for fully fifteen minutes in regular Fourth of July style.

It has been suspected for some time that not all the appointments made under the Present spoilge regime were permitted to be made public. A discovery made Saturday shows that they are sometimes suppreseed in the of- fice of City Register Besch. Last Wednesday Frederick Swaine, the labor agitator, was appointed by Building Comm!esioner J. Harry Randal! as local gu- Perintendent in his department to succeed Wallace Whitlock, “resigned.” The appointment Was approved the next day by President McMath of the Board of Public Improvements. It was approved Friday by Mayor Ziegenhein and sent to the Register’s office, Mr. Swaine appeared at the office before Aone Friday and took the oath of office, e daily record of nee Show these facts.

Lindell Road Arranges a Service With the Frisco... The arrangement between rhe Lindell Railway and the Missouri Pacific, by which the latter will resume its suburban service between Vandeventer Station and Kirk- | wood, will go into effect May 31. Though the official announcement ha not been made, it is now certain that al arrangements will be completed at that time. By coma pining with the Missouri Pacific the Lindel! will strike a hard blow at the Suburban, which now practically controls the passenger traffic to Kirkwood. Not content with that, it is said the Lin- dell-people will try to get a connection with Meramec Highlands via the Frisco, which crosses the Lindell tracks just west of Van- deventer Station. An arrangement with the 'Frisco similar to that with the Mis- sourl Pacific will probably be made. The 'Frisco reaches bot Valley Park and Meramec Highlands. The train service would be much faster than that of the Houseman line. President Edwards Whitaker of the Lin- dell said Saturday that the resumption “ot the 'Frisco’s suburban service would prob- ably be a natura! consequenee to the pass- age of the Houseman line from the Lin- dell’s control. MRS. HARNEY PLEADED. But Mrs. Amend Turned a Deaf Ear and Demanded Harney’s Arrest. In the Warrant Office Saturday the fami- lies of the accus@dand the accusé@rP.in an ugly case met and the pleadings and en- treaties of the one were answered with a deaf ear by the other. James Harney, a laborer, living at 112% O'Fallon street, was arrested at 1:30 a. m. Saturday on complaint of Lillie Amend, 14 ears old, living next door, who accused im of maltreating her Friday afternoon While alone in her mother’s home. Mrs. Harney, wife of the man. was at the Warrant Office early.. After awhile she was met by Mrs. Amend and Lillie, who came to secure the warrant. Mrs. Harney begged mercy for her hus- band, pleadin the respectability of the family, but Mre, Amend insisted that the respectability of her family must be main- tained. Col. Johnson said he would not issue a warrant at once, prefering to take the case under advisement. CHARGES DESERTION. Alfred B. Wilson Defendant in a. Di- vorce Suit. Alfred B. Wilson, manager of Thatcher's restaurant, is defendant in a divorce suit filed by Mrs, Blanche E. Wilson in the Circuit Court Saturday. Mrs. Wilson is represented by Lawyer Thomas B. Harvey.

North End Division of the Y. P. 8. C. E. Gives Information in an Entertaining Manner. The North End Division of the Young People’s Society of the Christian Endeavor gave an interesting and instructive enter- tainment Friday evening at the Lee Avenue Presbyterian Church, Lee near Prairie avenue, C. W. Logan, president of the division pre- sided and societies from the Fourth Chris- tian, the Second Christian, Church of the Redeemer, Hyde Park Congregational, Union Congregational, First German Baptist, Fourth Baptist, Grand Avenue Baptist, St. John’s German Evangelical, Second German Presbyterian, Memorial Tabernacle Presby- terian, Lee Avenue Presbyterian, Baden Mission, and Covenant Churches, partici- pated in the exercises. The programme was novel. President Lo- gan would call upon one wesgne | to sing one of the old, familiar hymns and other soci- ety would furnish the name of the author and all under what circumstances the song was written. In this way mueh instruc- tive information was obtained concerning cight of the most inspiring church songs. ‘Abide With Me’. was written by Rev, Henry Syte of Kingston, England, while he was sojourning for a short while in France during the latter pars of 1847. The stanzas were given out shortly before his death and it is supposed the inspiration came from the knowledge he was about to be torn from those he held most dear. Genuine inspiration from above seems to have suggested to the mind of Miss C. Elliott the lines, “Just As IAm Without One Plea.” It is stated that Dr. Caesar Marlan, a traveling evangelist, hee! during May, 1822, at the home of Miss liott’s parents, in ga England. He was accustomed to holding morning and eyening prayer. Miss Elliott always avoided these services, but was persuaded by the evangelist to attend one. That evening she was con- verted. The good man reassured her that she should be saved with all her faults. “Just as I am!” she exclaimed. That night she wrote one of the most beautiful songs of Christendom. rT That Our Father in I ‘Am So Glad t P. P. Bliss, stantly traveled t It is generally su one as his trips, most famous song. Just before Whit Sunday, 1819, Rev. R. He- ber, then rector of Hodnot, En and, visited the vicar of Wrexham. Coincidentally with his arrival a royal decree was promulgated calling for alms for missionary work. Mr. Heber was deeply interested in the work and after hearing an especially eloquent lea for the workers in foreign lands by his riend the vicar, retired to a room and in an hour or so, handed his host “From Green- land’s Icy Mountains.”’ A scene of blood and slaughter prom ted Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould to compose “On- ward, Christian Soldiers.” History cites when the cruel Tilly visited Madgeburg the school children paraded before his army, singing songs of peace. They were slain, oad th 1865, at Exeter, England, Mr. Baring- Gould composed the lines, It is not clear just what occasioned the writing of “Rock of Ages” by Augustus Toplady in 1770. The author was a very de- vout man, but withal a bitter sectarian. He was especially prejudiced against the Methodists, and {it was he who character- izer Mr. Wesley as “‘Pope John.” ‘‘Nearer My God to Thee,” composed by Mrs. Sarah F.. Adams of st. John’s Wood London, about 1840, is the pure emotion of her heart. She had lived amid sickness a/‘l her life and she prayed for rest. This beau- tiful hymn has been subjected to much sharp criticism owing to the omission of any mention of the Son. The English Bap- tists were so displeased that Rev. Arthur Tozer Russell was commissioned to add a stanza, which he did. The original was not affected, however, as the hymn is univer- sally used as it was written. “Blest Be the Tie That Binds,” was com- posed by Rev. John Fawcett, an Hnglish Baptist preacher in 1772. He had been ctiied to another pastorate, but his sormSw at breaking the old ties was too much for his strength, and he remained -g@mong the friends of his youth, | A handsome new banner was presented to the society of &¥e Union Congregational Church for the dest attendance. A-BRIDEGROOM’S BLACK EYE. Peter P. Manion’s Encounter With a Critical German Editor. Peter P. Manion, the young St. Louls swell who went to St. Charles and eloped with Miss Kate Kemper without the knowledge of the young lady’s parents, will wear a black eye during his honeymoon. Mr. Manion went up against Editor J. H. Bode of the St. Charles Democrat Friday afternoon. Mr. Bode has his own ideas about elopers, and he expresed them in choice German in the last edition of his paper. Manion and his bride are liAng in St. Charles. When the article was translated for him he went after the editor’s scalp. He met Mr. Bode on the street Friday afternoon. Bode was accompanied by his son-in-law, Charles Hilger of St. uls. Otto J. Marten was with Manion. Hot words were exchanged. Manion and Bode clinched and rolled around on the pave- ment until separated. Both have marks to show for the conflict. Manion and Marten were arrested. The young benedict was fined $2 for assault and battery, and Marten was acquitted, anion is still tn 8t. Charles. At the office of the P. P. Manion Blacksmithing and Wrecking Co., of which he is president, it was said Saturday that he had not been at his desk in four weeks, and no one there knew when he would return. FORD TESTIMONIAL CONCERT Society Folk Turned Out in Force at the Century. ° The testimonial concert to Miss Rose Ford at the Century Theater Friday evening drew a large crowd of well known society poopie, Most of the audience were in even- ng dress. A notable feature of the concert was Mrs. Charles Van Studdiford'’s a rance at a local concert. She sang Arditi’s “Se Saran Rose,” showing herself the possessor of a pure, sweet soprano voice, mirably man- aged and of delightful quality in the upper register. Mrs. Cunningham, Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Porteous contributed solos; Mise Luyties and Mr. Robyn gave Thalbere’s “Norma Fantasie,""’ and Mr. Charles Kunkel and Mr. , Kroeger gave a delightful readition to the former’s arrangement of Mendelssohn's “Mid-summer Night’s Dream” music. Miss Fo was given an ovation for her rendition of the andante and finale from a Mendelssohn concerto. The concert concluded with Mr. Robyn’s new operetta, “‘Bric-a-Brac."”" Miss Mary Berry took the part of the Duchess de Sevres and Mr. Joseph Buse was Lord Vase. Miss Berrv was daintily attired as became her character, and sang with much sweet- ness. Mr. Buse has a sweet tenor voice and acted his part with great spirit. CHURCH IN THE STREET.

SOUTH END Y@UNGSTERS CLEAN OUT A NOISOME ALLEY. NOW NEIGHBORHOOD HEROES. Young Inspector Greenwood Discusses the Work and Says Things About the Street Department. When woman inaugurated a crusade of cleanliness on Dickson street, a few weeks ago, a commendable precedent was estab- lished. The idea of street cleaning without the aid of the municipal street department is becoming popular. Following the good example of the Dick- son street women, a band of boys—big and little, ranging {n age from 12 to 18 years— organized a few days ago to make war on mud, tin cans and other things that mar the beau of streets and alleys in some parts of the city. As a result of the organization, one al- ley has been cleaned until it is as pre- sentable as the granitoid floor of well ent hotel. That alley is in the rear of the sec- ond District Police Station, Wyoming and Ninth streets. The entire length of the alley from ee to Arsenal was thor- oughly cleaned. Other alleys will receive og from the juvenile band from time A wagers, for the Post-Dispatch called at the Second District Station Friday morn- ing. When asked about the crusade of cleanliness, Capt. Pickel, who is in charge, said: “I have ryvos to do with it. os) credit is all due a band of boys in this neigh- borhood. It is a fact that the alley runnin between Wyoming and Arsenal, and Seventh and Ninth streets, was in a horrible condl- tion. .Mud was shoe-top deep and in many other ways the alley was unfit for publica- on. “Half a dozen or more youngsters con- ceived the idea of making war on the accu- mulation of filth. They spoke to me about it, and I secured permission for them to attach a hose to the fire plug near by. From that time on they performed the pany And they made a good job of it, The alley in question its pares with stone, but until the crusade of cleanliness was started, the casual observer would never have seen the stone. In fact. the alley ap- peared to be paved with thin mud and other things. If the description given of it by residents of that locality is correct, it is a fortunate thing for Street Commissioner Milner that he did not allow that aldermanic aggregation from Mardi Gras town to gaze upon it. One look at that alley would have been a pointer of indelible impression. The next delegation that comes from the Cres- cent City would do well to consult the women of Dickson street and the boys who live in the Second Police District. The personnel of the street cleaning vigil- ance committee which so thoroughly cleaned the alley, is as follows: William Brown, Superintendent; Tom Greenwood, Inspector; Charles Porter, Bert Porter, Fred Smith and George Smith. The boys call themselves “Capt. Pickel’s Brigade.”’ When a Pi tg pag reporter walked through the alley Friday morning he found several of the crusaders taking a survey of their work. Inspector Greenwood pro- nounced the jor well done and there was eneral satisfaction throughout the neigh- orhood. Women congregate in back yards and point to the alley as an object of pride, although prior to the eee it was shunned as though it were Phe remnants of S condemned soap factory or slaughter People of the South End are lond in their praise for the good work accomplished, and the general sentiment is that if enough such crusaders could be found there wor}q be no need of a Street Commissioner,, Young Tom Greenwood, who title of mspector discussed the a} fore and after taking,. “Until we in to clean it,” he said, “therea wi TAR 3 we ‘ 5 . g itd : j : v3 ’ ; , F r fe : $ .

Miles Had Help in Kiiling Pa- trolman Hennelly. Thomas J. Williams was indicted for mur- der in the first degree Friday and the police and Deputy Sheriff White are looking for him. It is not clear why Williams ie at large, as the fact that he has been indicted 1 dicates that there is evidence that he alten in the murder of Policeman Thoma# fen- nelly in James Dwyer’s saloon on Yhe cor- ner of Morgan and Fifteenth g*rects. It has been supposed thr; Charlies A. Miles gave Hennelly the, fgtal wound, and he is in jail charged With the murder. On the night of April 28 Charles A. Miles and Thomas-‘y, Williame entered James Dwyers saloon on Morgan and Fifteenth Streets, got drinks and refused to pay for them. A fight ensued between them and the bartender, Ed Corcoran. J. J. O’Brien went to the assistance of Corcoran. Corcoran was stabbed in the shoulder and on the hand and O’Brien was stab in the groin, his wound being serious. Patrolman Thomas Hennelly, of the Mounted Police District, was passing in a street car and hearing the noise, jumped from the car and ran into the saloon. He tried to stop the fight and was 6o badly stabbed that a week later he died in the City Hospital. Miles and Williame were arrested and at the Coroner’s inquest Miles was held for murder and Willfams was released. A few days later a warrant was issued ent ae Miles with murder in the first degree an the Grand-jury tndicted him. Friday Judge Zachritz was surprised by receiving the indictment against illiams. He acted immediately and ordered that a caplas issue. illiams has a room over the saloon at the notheast corner of Fourteenth and Mor.- gan streets, but he could not be found Fri- day. A search of 1500 Franklin avenue was made, but he was not there. That is where a young woman lives with whom Williams is said to be intimate. The police .of the Fourth District were notified, and Capt. Joyce promised to have his officers keep a lookout for Williams. It is not thought that he has left the city, as since his discharge by the Coroner he has though he was entirely out of the trouble, Assistant Circuit Attorney Hodgdon, who is the consulting attorney of the Grand-jury, would not say what evidence there was against Williams. Hesimply said that if Williams had not wielded a knife in the stabbing of Hennelly he had urged Miles to — so, and thereby became a party to the crime. TO SEE BOSS KERENS.

Tt is possible to do this even in regions of country where miasme is most rife, and where the periodic fevers which it causes assume their most formid- able types. The immense popularity of Hostetter’s Btomach Bitters is very largely attributable to the fact of its efficacy as a remedy for chills and fever, Dilious remittents, and as a preventive of the vari- ous forms of malarial disease. In those portions of the West and South where complaints of this nature prevail, and in the tropics, it ts particularly esteemed for the protective influence which it ex- erts; and ft has been very widely adopted as a substitute for the dangerous and comparatively in- efficient alkaloid, sulphate of quinine.

A gallant young man and a pretty summer girl—just @ tinge of the rural about her—were the principals. A horse had fallen into a conduit manhole. The peculiarity of the accident caused pass- ers-by to become interested, and ei ee 5,000 ersons were jammed closely to- methete all bent on one purpose—to get a limpse of the horse in his peculiar prison. rhe streets were blocked so that passage was next to impossible, yet many tried to elbow their way through the crowd. Among those who were waiting to see how the horse would be extricated from his erilous position was the young man who gures in this romance. he summer girl was trying to make her way north on Broadway. She crossed Olive stress, and was directly in front of the Missouri acific ticket office, when the police tried to drive b the crowd that’ was encroaching so closely upon the hole, that there was immi- nent Ganent ~ somebody being pushed in on top of the horse. . . The crowd was slow to obey the police order. Then the mandate was made more imperative. Finally the officers made a rush, not unlike college boys playing foot- ball, and the crowd was forced back. The summer girl was wedged in between a telegraph pole and a W. C, T. U. cherry hosphate drinking fountain. She was be- ng trampled upon by big brawny men, who fled in front of the police wrath. The young man in the case took the young woman’s arm, and with a dash of authority that would have puzzled the po- lice, had they noticed it, he led her through the great surging mass of people. He was under the impression that she was anxious to get away from the crowd, and he started with her in that direction. s “T want to see what all of this is about,” gasped ee summer girl. re shall see,” replied the young gal- ant. Then he etarted with his fair charge to- ward the place where the horse was im- prisoned. “Make way, here!” he shouted. The crow resumed that he was the owner of the horse, and that probably it was a pet animal in which the young wom- an was interested. At last, despite police interference. the pair stood on the brink of the hole. The young woman gazed at the rostrate horse until she was satisfied to eave. Then the young man pushed an opening in the crowd until he reached a clearing. He told the young woman that Col. Ed Butler and his derrick would be along presently to extricate the horse. Did she want to witness the novel ey She did. A 6eat in a second-story window of an ad- joining building was secured. The young man tipped his hat and walked away. The summer girl was one of the thousands who cheered when the horse landed on terra firma and walked away. PEDDLERS ABUSE A BOY. Little Willard Robins Was Defiant and Got a Beating.
