Kreidler, whose time was 53 minutes and 54 1-5 , .In the crowds in Forest Park every class and condition of society Was represented. Kariy in the afternoon the people began to arrive. Business men, who use the wheel between home and office, and who seldom appear upon other occasions except for the annual road race, were out in force. Many of them were by their wives and daughters. All the various kinds of wheelwomen were out in all tumes. There was the stout the plump woman: the the angular woman; and the plain seconds accompanied sorts of cos- woman and slender woman and the handsome woman woman; women in long &kirts and others in muchly abbreviated skirts, and a few who wore no skirts Ww all, but sat astride their wheels as do the men; women with leggings of black and blue and brown and white, and women without, all pedaling along the roads and drives, reminding the onlookers of one great monster tarantula—niiles and miles of legs. There were women on tandems,.“men on trips and quods, men of all sizes and world. ly condition; women of all shapes, ages and complexions; massive women, under whom the seats groaned and creaked; light weights who sat in their saddles as centaurs were once supposed to do ages before the bi- cycle began its war on the horse. There were children on wheels, and wheels of all makes, all patterns and all colors. All the street cars running to the park were crowded after 1 o’clock and the loads Were emptied only to be followed by other loads. Later the vehicles began to enter. In the lines were stylish coaches and _tally- hos with brazen horns and merry young people upon the seats, tri aps, tandem teams, carts, landaus and stylish turnouts of every description. The ladies upon them were in their lightest spring gowns and the roses of their cheeks, brought out by the open air and the excitement of the crowds rivaled the roses in their hats. The green of the park was never a cooler green, the flowers in their beds were at their brightest, and the whole scene was one full of life, of out- door pleasure and enjoyment and kaleideo- scopic in its coloring. In all that tramp of horses, with their jingling silver harness, were many of the humbler vehicles of less fashionable people, all filled with contented faces enjoying themselves quite as much as those upon the seats Of the stylish equipages of the rich. The vehicles lined up along the entire four miles of the course, and from them gloved and ungloved hands ec lapped in enthusiasm as the bare-legged racers spurted by them The walks along the course were packed ten deep on either side of the roped off space and the people crowded and good naturedly Struggled to see the red, blue and white- shirted riders as they filtted by. It was a good natured holiday crowd, and strong men and fafr women took the jost- ling and the pushing as the cost of the afternoon's pleasure. At times the crowds surged over the ropes and blockaded the track, but the mounted policemen rode through and restored the lines. The crowd was splendidly handled. and there were no accidents of any kind to the Spectators. i. A. Kreidler, who is placed third in the time race, made a protest to Referee Allen, and claimed second prize. He says he and Stockhof started together, at the two minute mark, stayed together throughout | the race, and that he finished one-fifth of a a behind § m it Stockhott’s for Prize Winners. While there were no desperate finishes for either the race or the time prizes, yet to the spectators the contest was enjoyable from ‘start to the finish. In that big field there was sure to be a great deal of un- certainty, and this lends interest to the on-lookers in a bicycle race. Originally there were 110 entries for the prizes, and but few é6f them declined the issue, the scratches being Frank Bosworth, 2 min- utes: A. R. Ernst. 4 minutes; Charles Jungk and J. L. Dillon, 6 minutes: George F. Thi- as, 614 minutes: Thomas Gorsuch, 6% min- utes: Wm. Martin, 6% minutes; Cecil W. Stone, 7% minutes, and S. W. Batfield, 9 minutes, The officers of the race were the follow- ing: Referee, Clifford B. Allen; judges, Garth Billingsley, C. B. Tullis, Hepry Ohl- sen, G. A. Pleus and W. Y. C. Humes; timers, A. C. Davis, H. B. Davis, Dr. W. B Kingsbury, H W: Belding and Charles Vanderwater; scorers, E. J. Rotty, W. W. Nisket, A. L. Jordan, R. H. Laing and H. G. Wolzendorf:; clerks, E. N. Sanders, C. H. Bartlett, Sam Loevy; starter, W. P. Laing; chief checker, E. L, Morgan. The course was about 20 miles, five times the following trip: Starting at the Blair monument, west, under the Wabash bridge, past the Sylvan lake and the Police Station down the road that passes the old restau- rant, turning south over the Hill road, up Nigger Hill, continuing up to the Clayton road, east on the road that passes down to the drinking fountain, turning there to the right and continuing to Clayton road, over this to King’s Highway and north towards Blair monument. The judges and referee were in two un- horsed express wagons at the finishing mark. and about them the crowds were densest and most troublesome to be han- dled. The scratch men were Alex Laing, the winner of last year’s time prize; J. C. Weid- ner and J. J. R. Howard, all of the St. Loule Cycle Club; E. A. Grath, South Side Cycle Club, and J. C, Canover, of Kansas City. It was thought by many people that James Levy of Chicago, 1 minute, the win- ner of the time prize in one of the Chicago road races, would win the time prize yeg- terday, but his ride was a disappointment. The main interest for the first two laps centered in the first twelve riders on the ecard, including the scratch and the 1 and 2 minute men. After the first two laps it was seen that this bunch of riders had gained but two minutes on the red-shirted Menges, who had gotten off nine minutes before them, and it was plain that with only three more laps to go he would finish first if he escaped a mishap. Right behind him, only a few seconds away, rode Davis, a seven and one-haif- minutes man. He held his own and it was a Toregone conclusion that he would ride into second place. For the time it was expected that the winner would turn up in the first twelve men, and the three fastest proved to be among them. The scratch men caught those with one and two minutes’ start, and during the latter part of the race it was @ muscle-straining contest between them all the way through. For most of the riders Nigger Hill, after the little but firing mounds in the course, was almost a heart-breaker. It is a feat for ordinary wheelers to climb this hill and five times up it: wearied even the stoutest among the riders. ; On the final lap, from the judges’ impro- vised stand, Menges’ red shirt was seen coming down the road, He came on at Stokes, 5; T. C. MeKee, 5; H. C. Kreidler, 4; H. W. Klute, 6144; Robert ~—. 5; A. B, El- lis, 6; E. W. Ginzell, 6; T. Jepomsy; ae F. B. Vollmer, 6%; Arthur leon . a. areene, 5%; E. A. Kreidler, 2; H.

Sheppard, 6; C. L. Knower, 3. The three time prizes consisted of a dia- mond pendant, a gold watch and a silver water service. The road race prizes com- prised everything, from a gold watch and some bicycles, down to lamps, soup plates and straw hats Outside of the three prize winners, of the best time made was as follows: A. (, Menges, T. R. Boole, Jesse Doyle, 55:15 4-5; Lloyd E. Stokes, 50:16 1-5; J. J. R. Howard, 54:008-5: J. C. Weidner, 54:00 4-5, and Alex Laing, 54:40. The slow- est time, 64 minutes and 5 was scored against Charles C. Stoos. se INCIDENTS ON THE RUN. — some DS 735; bd715 1-5; seconds, Accidents Were Yew but Ludicrous Mishaps Were Frequent. There were fewer mighaps than in former years on Nigeer Hill. This was not because the crowd did not do its best to cause them. Next to the finish there were the most people at this point. A couple of thousand were banked up on each side of the grade. In spite of the earnest efforts of mounted | policemen to keep them bac k they surged toe the middle of the road and left only a nar- row space for the riders. A spill would have resulted disastrously for both riders and spectators, but. fortu- nately none occurred in the thick of the crowd. People in conveyances persisted in driving up and down the hill in defiance of the groans and yells of the crowd, and several times collisions were narrowly averted.

Knower, Bosworth, Wills Strothotte, the three-minute men, coming over the knob of the slope, bunched up. An over-zealous friend Strothotte stepped out of the crowd dashed a bucket of water over him. Before the man could get out of the way Knower ran into him and was thrown. water thrower, who afterwards said his name was Ernst Kuhimann, staggered backward into’ the crowd. Knower scrambled to his feet, and jump- ing through the opening in the crowd, gave Kuhlmann a swift punch in the eye. Then he remounted and got in the running again, but the delay was fatal. He never overtook the men in the three-minute class. Notwithstanding his forearm was badly gashed, he pluckily stayed in the race to the end. Menges, the nine-minut e man, who set the pace for the whole race, and was never headed, reached the top of the hill a minute and a half ahead of the other nine-minute man, Batfield. Spuehler and Sterling, two of the eight. minute men, and Parmalee and Davis, the 7:30 men, came up in pairs. Zahringer, the other eight-minute man, was rapidly fall- ing back. A bunch of half a dozen 6:45 men haa overhauled half of the seven-minute men on the first half of the first lap. The rest of the 6:30, 6:45 and 7-minute men came up together.

There is a somewhat general misappre hension regarding this large accumu/lation of gold in the Clearing-house. All sorts of reasons have been ascribed for the present big deposit, and there a disposition to invest it with a significance not warranted by the facts Three years ago the Clearing-house did not have a dollar cf gold in its vaults. When the new building was planned, arrangements were made for vaults that would be a long way ahead of most vaults of the banks in this city, the idea being that banks that were members of the Clearing-house would find it convenient at times to make use of them. And not long after the building was completed the vaults began to be put to that use. Banks that did not have adequate accommodations were glad to avail them- selves of the previlege of depositing their surplus gold in the Clearing-house vaults just 98s, years ago, they used to leave it at the Sub-Treasury for safe keeping. The amount held in this way has varied from time to time, and now it has reached the unusual figure of $55,000,000. “There is nothing about this large amount of gold in our vaults that should provoke any comment,” said Manager William Sheerer to-day. “It is a very simple mat- ter. Some of the banks that belong to the association prefer to keep their surplus gold in our vaults rather than in their own. Be- cause there is $55,000,000 held there, !t doesn’t follow that amount of money is withdrawn from circulation. As a matter of fact, the gold, or rather the amount of money rep- resented by the gold in the Clearing-house is actuaily in circulat‘on. ‘When gold is brought here to be placed in our vaults we issue a Clearing-house certificate for the amount of the deposit, is to any bank that is a member of the Clear- These certificates are used in the settlement of obligations that have to be paid in gold. For instance, it is much easier to handle a paper certificate for $10,000 than to handle thirty-eight pounds of gold.”’ BAKER DENOUNCED. Southern Illinois Miners Object to His Plutocratic Record.

The proceeding was brought in the Dis. trict Court of Brown County something over a month ago. In his answer Hailmann tells a tale of woe seldom equalled in the annals of Western jurisprudence. The notes, it appears, were given three years ago. Vernon was engaged, at the time, to over a month ago. In his answer Hailmann omits from his pleading as immaterial to non, is he ‘and when | ate the question at issue. The date set for the wedding was but a few days distant, Vernon was anything but pleased at the prospect. Yet he lacked the moral courage to tell his fiancee at that late day how much his feelings had changed and how earnestly he desired his release. In his desperation he took counsel with Hailmann, then a warm persona! friend. and | jand The latter suggested an expedient by which escape was rendered possible. He was en- gaged at the time in certain cattle specula- tions, on which he lost heavily. “I will give you,” he proposed, “a series of promissory notes for $1,400 each. You can show them to your sweetheart and ex- plain go her that until you are able to col- lect you will be fn no financial condition to marry.

The Turkish Ministry Will Have to Retire on Account of the Peace Conditions. LONDON, June 5.—Conflicting news is published about the progress of the peace negotiations at Constantinople. On one side the Sultan is said to have adopted a | most unyielding attitudé, and on the other | hand -he is declared to be showing a Con- cilatory disposition, and that the settle- ment of the question in dispute is only a matter of a few days. The Associated Press; however, learns that the Ambassadors at Constantinople are hopeful that the negotiations will be concluded in about a week, in the sense of Turkey’s by the pe of the peace condi- tions proposed by the powers. here is now little doubt the Sultan has decided to agree to the evacuation of Thessaly,and the Turk- ish public is being prepared for this step. The police of Constantjneple have been ordered to confiscate the leaflets which are being circulated, demanding the annexation of the conquered territory as a duty de- volving upon the Sultan. The war songs are also being suppressed in order to stifle the fanaticism of the lower classes. It {s considered probable that the con- | clusion of peace between:Turkey and Greece | will be followed by. a complete change of | the Turkish Cabinet, as the palace clique will endeavor to saddle the ministry with all the responsibility for the peace conditions. | Moreover a strong feeling exists among the Mussulmans against the ministry, especial- ly against the Navy Depariment, owing to the deplorable condit'on of the Turkish navy | and the inactivity of the Ottoman fleet. The news from Thessaly is that the Turk- ish army, which first pillaged and committed other excesses in the Greek villages, is now under stringent discipline. In the mean- While 20,000 Macedontan peasants who had crossed the mountains into Thessaly, have occupied the abandoned Greek villages and are waiting to gather the corn if it ripens before the peace negotiations are conclud- ed. In fact, the seizure of the Thessalian harvest seems to be a reason for the Sultan ne to protract the peace negotia- ons. Numbers of Greek Thessalians are hiding in the mountains, being afraid to return to | their homes, fearing massacre and pre- ferring death by starvation, exposure and disease, The impeachment: of the leading spirits | of the Ethnike Hetaria, or National League | of Greece, is mooted at Athens, where it is | said that ex-Mayor Melas intends to re- Sign the leadership of the gociety. His excuse for the society’s conduct is that it was understood Great Britain would as- sist George in her struggle against Turkey. AMBASSADORS CONFER. They Draw Up Memoranda for the Sul- tan to Consider. CONSTANTINOPLE, June 5.—A confer- ence lasting two hours was held to-day be- tween Ambassadors of the Powers and Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish Minister of For- eign Affairs, at which the memoranda rel- ative to the rectification of the frontier, to the capitulations in the case of Greek sub- jects in Turkey and to indemnity prepared respectively by Count Nelidoff, the Rus- sian Ambassador; M. Camban, the French Ambassador and Sir Philip Currie, _ the British Ambassador, were presented. These memoranda will be submitted to the Sultan for his censideration. SPOKE WORDS OF CHLER. Queen Olga Talks to a Troop of Greek Soldiers. AGHIA MARIA, Greece, June 6.—Queen Olga and Crown Princess Sophia arrived here to-day on their return journey to Athens, from the headquarters of Crown Prince Constantine. They visited the camp of 200 Greek soldiers, and the Queen ad- dressed words of consolation to the refu- gees and urged them to return to their homes BLEW HIS BRAINS OUT. Bank President McConnell Commits | Suicide to Avoid Arrest. OCALA, Fla., June 5.—R. B. McConnell, | the defaulting President of the defunct Mer- chants’ National Bank, committed suicide | thig afternoon. He sent a bullet crashing | through his brain, and =~»before méd- | ical aid could be summoned he was a corpse. The deed was com-' mitted at the home of his brother-in-law, W. K. McDonald, where he, his wife mother were taking dinner. G. C: Stapylton, receiver af chants’ Bank, had made some coveries in the bank business that showed up very badly against McConnell. He ai onee communicated them to United States Commissioner G. 8. Williamson, who at once issued a warrant for MeConnell’s ar- rest. This was placed in the hands of Dep- | uty United States Marshal James Clark, who proceeded to the McConnell residence. He learned there that the bank President was dining at McDonald’s. He went to the house and read the warrant, when Me- Connell asked permission to go up stairs to get his coat. A moment later the house- hold was startled by the report of a p’stol. The officer rushed up stairs only to find Mr. McConnell breathing his last, with a hole in the right side of his head, over the | ear, and the revolver still in his hand. and | the Mer- | new dis- | MAUD DEVERE DEAD. — | She Was Shot in the Knee by Jealous | Mrs. Campbell.

Bailey Is for Bryan in 1900—Guins- berg Fighting the Pooling and Anti-Scalpers’ Bills. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5.—Proprie- tor Houser of the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat landed his brother-in-law, A. D. Bar- low, this afternoon. Consul General to Mexico, to succeed Gov. Thos. T. Crittenden, as a reward to Mr. Houser for sticking to the claim that pros- perity has arrived. No doubt Mr. Barlow’s confirmation will speedily follow, but there is a vigorous undertow of protest in the large colony of Kerensites who have been here for weeks trying to get office. They are displeased that they should be turned down for a man unknown in politics. They claim that Barlow never did anything for the party except to draw salary as a clerk in the Post-office, and while he is not per- sonally objectionable they resent his pro- motion over their heads. “Deacon” Houser’s victory over “Deacon” Kohlsaat is a barren one after all Kohl- saat withdrew his candidate yesterday and left a clear field for the Missourian. He did this because the President promised him a better place for his man. R. T. Wilkinson of Mount Carmel. Ill., was a candidate with the backing of Senator Cullom, but failed to overcome the pull of the “prosperity” organ. Col. R. C. Kerens is not making a phe- nomenal success as patronage purveyor for Missouri. He let Missouri lose to-day the consul-generalship to Vienna, now theld by Max Judd of St. Louis, and which rightly belonged to the State. The Missourians who are looking to him for jobs are in- censed because he is meeting with euch indifferent success. They say that ‘his. fail- ure is due chiefly to the fact that he is paying so much attention to outside mat- ters. Especially are they angry because he has espoused the cause of Pat Egan, the professional Irishman, who has been trying assiduously to capture an appointment. They recite tearfully the fact that Kerens is paying more attention to Egan’s woes than to theirs and they declare that revolt will follow unless a change takes place £00Nn, Maj. Warner, who left Kansas City with- out seeing Col. Kerens, is quietly preparing to join forces with the Filleyites to down Kerens and Davis. The first clash wiil come over the Westport vostoffice. Maj. Warner is for Bert Banta. Davis is against him. Kerens is with Davis. Congressman Joseph W. Ba'ley of Texas is for William J. Bryan of Nebraska as the Democratic Presidential candidate in 1900. He said to-night that the Democratic campaign of three years hence would be fought on the same lines and on the same platform a6 the one last year. This implied the reaffirmation of the Chi- cago platform and the nomination of Mr. Bryan by acclamation. Any depariure from the Democratic plat- form of last year, he said, would be ac- cepted as retrogression and abandonment of principles, which would be utterly de- moralizing to the party. This was so well understood, he said, that there would be no contest among the Democrats as to the Presidential standard-bearer. There would -be nothing to engender bitterness in the Democratic party. The Democracy would, therefore, be more thoroughly unit- ed, more confident and more aggress:ve than it had entered any Presidential can- Vass since 1856, Col. Harry A. Guinzburg of St. Louts. who is here representing the Ticket Brokers’ Association of the United States ts confident the Senate will not pass either the pooling bill or the anti-scalpers’ bill at this session. He is paying very little attention to the Hiouse, but is closely watching develop- ments in the Senate. The reason for this is obvious. The same rules that were in effect in the Fifty-fourth apply to the pres- ent House. As long as the Senate does not act, the House will not touch either the pooling bill or the anti-secalping bill. Should the Senate pass the measure which the ticket brokers are so strongly opposing, it is likely that the House would apply gag rules and force it through after twenty minutes’ debate. Col. Guinzburg thinks that the opposition of Senators Tillman, Chandler and Chilton will effectually estop both the pooling bill and the anti-scalpers’ bill at least until the regular session next December.

Tha’ lates he said, had pointed out rates increased 109 per cent, while in the schedule the aver- age ad valorem was below 20 per cent. That being the case, Mr. Bacon asserted that Mr ne that oa Was the most unjustinabdie feature of the ri ; warranted, a wae joe “T regard it as the most reasonable feat- ure of the whole bill,"” declared Mr. Bacon “I regard the schedule as a proper one ir- respective of the party from which it comes.

Danger of the Situation Set Forth by Capt. Brown, Gov. Colman and Mr. Withers. Special to the Post-Dispatch, ROODHOUSE, ITil., June 5.—The Lower Illinois River Valley Association Fish Fry and River Convention was attended by 7,00 people. Weather was beautiful and »,000 pounds of fish from S8t. Louis was devoured. - Addresses were made by ex-Gov. Norman J. Colman of St. Louis and ex- Mayor Joseph Brown of St. Louis, and Hion.-H. C, Withers of Carrollton. Gov. Colman dwelt on injuries to the im- mense acres of rich soil now overflowed at each rise in the river by reason of dams in the northern part of the river and at Kampsville, Ill... caused by settling of mud and deposit above the dams and locks and filling ‘up of the tributaries of the river to Such an extent that the bottoms of creeks wefe overflown at each freshet, causing de- struction to crops and sickhess and disease engendered by reason of the refuse of Chicago being scattered over the lowlands and bettom of the river. He showed fur- ther conclusively that the dredging of the river would keep the water from overflow- ing, be expensive to keep it up and Save for cultivation thousands of acres of the richest land in the State, which are now practically unfit for cultivation, be- cause of overflow caused by dams. He spoke clearly and forcibly and was listened to attentively and was incessantly ap- Plauded by-the audience. Hon. H. C. Withers delivered a lengthy, well prepared speech, advocating the re- moval of dams and locks and dredging the river. It showed deep study of matter, and was applauded from beginning to end. David F. King of this city delivered the welcome address on behalf of the Mayor. Petitions were circulated asking Congress to take action in the matter, signed by all present to whom petitions could be pre- sented. Stereopticon yiews of the methods used in dredging the Illinois canal were presented. Capt. Brown spoke in part as follows: An attempt has been made by the general government to improve the navigation of the Illinois River by locks and dams, and, While thirty or forty years ago that mode of improvement might have been a success, as at that time the water of that river was comparatively clear, of late years, owing to the general cultivation of the country adjacent, by drainage, piping, etc., the re- Sult is that after every heavy rain the wash from ‘the land has made the river much of the time as muddy as the Mississippi or Mis- souri rivers, and the result is the sediment, Owing to the sluggishness of the current caused by the seyeral dams, is settling rap- idly above the dams and bringing up the bottom of the river, so that overflows wil! become more and more frequent, and _ this is already endangering the land contiguous to the dams. A great mistake was made in the begin- ning, by the location of the dams at the “head” of. the river, instead of the foot, as they hold the water back, and left the lower part of the river nearly dry, so that I have seen cattle frequently ford it at low water, and boats could not get into it, much less do any businéss on it. My judgment is, that no locks or dams should ever have been built on the Illinois River, but instead, two or three powerful dredge boats kept constantly at work, which in low water would have accom- jish@d much better results, and at much aon cost to the general government. But you are now threatened with another and a greater evil than the one I have re- derred to—‘'the Chicago ditch’’ now under construction. There are two dangers to be feared from that sewer or ditch: If the quantity of water poured through it proves to be as large as the act authorizing it, then with the present obstructions in the Illinois River in the shape of locks and dams, the natural banks are sure to be everfiowed, and the large area of bottom land in the high water season will become a lake each ‘year, and not susceptible of cultivation; while on the other hand, if the ditch company in any way evade the law creating it and pour a much smaller quan- tity of lake water through the ditch, so as not -to thoroughly dilute the Chicago sew- age, then that whole section of country will become a stench in the nostrils of the people inhabiting it, and God help the peo- ple along the line of the ditch. The people ef Chicago are looking only for an outlet for their sewage, and are in a fair way of getting it, regardless of the interests, comfort or health of the balance of the world, and if the people of the coun- try contiguous to the great ditch do not combine, and not only watch the progress of the great sewer, but see to it, that they are held strictly to their charter with the State, to pour through it the vast volume of water the act~ of the Legislature calls for, 300,000 feet per minute, the danger to the health and comfort of the people along the route of the deposit will be incalcula- less Some people may argue that the sewage will settle in a few miles’ travel, case of some of our the Chicago sewage is different thing. It is made up largely of grease and greasy substances. That will not settle as long as it has water to float on, and even should it happen to lodge along the banks, at every slight rise it will take up its line of travel again, and slime the banks for many miles from its source, Water. Commissioner Holman of St. Loufs is engaged at the present time in trying to discover some means by which to settle or filter the water supply of St. Louis amount- ing to at present one hundred million gal- lons per day, and some have suggested the Use Of alum as one of the ingredients, which, if it should be adopted, will cost the city more than $100,000 a vear, and give the people of St. Louis the gripes and severe constipa- tion the balance of their lives, and al) this, while @ greater danger is threatening the ped od Ey ot at Louis in the completion ?

POLICE OPPRESSION THE CAUSE Yon Tausch Trial Exposed Police Workings and [Insures Von Bieberstein’s Resignation. ——— a BERLIN, June 5.—Several unusual feat- ures accompanied the great spring parade on the Tempelhof grounds last Tuesday. By the rigorous police rule barring all traffic from the streets leading to the Templehof, the publie was virtually excluded from this sight, which for many years has been a pop- ular diversion. The were brutally carried out by the being kicked and injured on the fleld. The number of carriages was much smaiier than usual. The Emperor and Empress, while going to and coming from the field, were not once cheered by the poulace, which was in a very ugly mood, as the police policy was attributed to the Emperor's order. Several persons in the dense crowd hooted the Emperor, which was answered by the po- lice forcibly dispersing the throng and ar- resting a score of people. The Empress w4s pale and nervous and was so affected by all this that she suffered from a violent head- ache, and insisted upon returning to the casile, the Emperor therefore stopping tae parade before it was half finished. In the jostle on leaving the temple the Empress was again badly scared. Women of the lower classes suddenly appeared at her shorse’s head, and with a threatening gesture one of the women threw a petition in the face of the Empress. In the turmoil which ensued Her Majesty lost a unique decoration conferred upon her by Queen Victoria and composed of the Queens en- ameled portrait, set with big diamonds. The Empress was present at the parade on horseback in white riding habit of the attern of the uniform of the Queen's Own 2omeranian Cuirassiers and wearing 4 triple-peak white cockade hat of the old Bavr@ith Dragoons. Across her breast sne wore the broad orange band of the Order of the Black Eagle. The newspapers all orders many persons police, condemn the severe police measures adopted in excluding the people from such occasions, and contrast them with the course under Emperors Wil- liam I. and Frederick III. Among the invited spectators at the pa- rade were United States Ambassador Uhl and his family, and Mr. John Foster, the United States Seal Commissioner, and Mrs. Foster. Mr. Foster, While on his way to Russia, stopped four days in this city, and was given a reception by Mr. Uhl, which was attended by a number of diplomats formerly stationed in Washington. The result of the Von Tausch trial, the acquittal of the former chief of the secret political police, amounts to a cefeat of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron Mvr- schall Von Bieberstein, as the case is popu- larly regarded as a duel between Baron Marschall and the first commissioner of police and the discharge of Von Tausch is certain to be used against the Foreign \in- ister. It is generally expected that the lat- ter’s furlough of two months is a prelude to his resignation. Emperor William is deeply chagrined at the damaging exposures of the inner work- ings of the police, fearing further weaken- ing of police authority through the use the Socialiste are preparing to make of the evidence at the elections. His Majesty se- riously blamesS the Minister for Foreign Affairs for precipitating this gigantic *can- dal. There was a stormy scene between the Emperor and Baron Marschall on Tuesday. The Liberal newspapers express the opin- jon that the trial will have a good effect and render such actions of the police as those exposed impessible jn the future. Herr Richter in the Freissennige Zeitung, how- ever, says he does not believe Baron Von Marschall will be dismissed, because, he explains, Prince Hohenlohe’s resignation 1s bound to follow. A new and fmportant political office has been created, that of Political Commission- er, whose province it is to watch and in- fluence by all possible means political feel- ing in disaffected districts, such as the Polish provinces, the Reichlands an@ Northern Sclesswie-Holstein. Four such commissioners have been appointed at Dantzig, Koenigsberg, Posen and Breslau. At a banquet given to the Reichstag by the Hamburg Senate upon the occasion of the Horticultural Exposition, the Emperor was not toasted. The reason assigned is that there were a large number of Social- ist delegates present. Another serious difference, almost amount- ing to a quarrel, has arisen between peror William and his brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, of His Majesty towards Great Queen Victoria, Prince Henry favoring a more conciliatory policy. In a recent let- ter the Emperor has peremptorily forbidden his brother to in any way interfere in the politics of the empire. The at court is frankly and bitterly anti-British. Britain and Recently there have been a number of severe sentences upon soldiers and officers guilty of brutally maltreating recruits, and they have emphasized the Emperor's orders against this abuse. A non-commissioned officer named Hungs. who cruelly abused a soldier, Marseillier, at Koenigsburg, driving yrisoned for six months, and nine men he- onging to the Fifteenth Hussars at Wande- beck, who fearfully maltreated a recruit. have been sent to the fortress of Spandau for three months. The Emperor has_ recently seized upon every opportunity to cement the good rel: tions, which have been re-established tween himself and Prince Ludwig, the Re- gent of Bavaria. The Prince’s daughter. Marie, has been given the honor of christ- ening the new ironclad Hertha. His ma- jesty followed this by sending her as a per- sonal gift a beautiful model of the vessel, eight feet long.

Dr. Hughes and the Municipal Board of resolution against the practice of hypnotism by any persons other than medical practi- tioners. Its unrestricted practice by irre- sponsible persons is a danger and menace to soclety, and the ’quicker the law making power aets the better. Dr. Hughes and the, Municipal Board of Health do not favor or propose any law which will prevent societies organized for psychical research from pursuing their in- vestigations in the interest of science, be- cause through the investigations ef these viz., those of Boston and London, the advance in hypnotic investigation to a point where mental suggestion has almost become a demonstrated fact. is due. The student of hypnotism at this stage of its advance who positively and absolutely de- nies the power of verbal suggestion to over- come the strongest will and moral force, which are simply the auto suggestions or verbal suggestions of a lifetime, has not kept pace with and is not conversant with the latest conclusions of scientific investiga- tors in this field. A close study of this question forces on my mind this conclusion, that repeated hypnosis will overcome all powers of re- sistance. I make this statement with a solemn belief in its absolute truth and I will fortify my positions with the backing of the leading authorities on this question. I do not think for a moment that Dr. Hughes or the Board of Health are so ego- tistical ag to belleve all knowledge is with the profession of medicine; but there is no question in any, sensible mind but that so potent a force for good and evil as hyp- notism should be taken out of irresponsible hands and intrusted to individuals who are qualified by training and experience to handle it. Its practical application is in the fleld of medical practice; then why should it not be restricted by law to the responsible and educated physician? In a recent issue of the Post-Dispatch appeared two articles from laymen on the subject of hypnotism. As M. §S. Beckwith is dead, I will confine my reply to Andrew J. Woolsey. I will pass over all of his re- marks of a personal nature and,where he advances any argument I will] answer it. Mr. Woolsey first attacks the position that hypnotism can be made the agent of crime. Of the truth of that fact there is to my mind not a scintilla of doubt. As I said and here repeat, repeated hypnosis will overcome any will power and break: down any barrier of moral force. Can the hypnotized fall victims to crime? I quote from Dr. Frederick Bjornstrom’s work on hypnotism, Stockholm, Professor of Psychiatry, late Royal Swedish Coun- cilor: “The unconsciousness and loss of will, which are so easily caused in the hypnotized, can of course with the greatest facility be misused for immoral and crimi- nal purposes. Rape, murder, robbery, ar- son, theft, pbduction. etc., are then easy to, accomplish. In the beginning of this century, the people of India knew that the easiest Way to steal children and carry them away was to magnetize them. Such thieves were known in India under the name thugs or bheels, and in 1820 a band was «discovered whose members in the course of twenty years, had stolen millions of children. A child recovered at that time was entirely stupid and did not rec- ognize her father until until she had been dehypnotized by the ceremonies of the Buddhist priests. In France some remark- able medico-legal cases have occurred with reference to crime against morality under hypnosis; one of them combined with ab- duction. « Besides by robbery and theft the hypnotized might easily be deprived of their property in a more delicate manner, so that it would look as if they voluntarily gave it away, if only a powerful suggestion were given in that direction.’’ In support of this proposition Dr. Bjorn- strom cites some experiments of M. Lie- geois, Professor of Jurisprudence at Nancy and a scientific investigator of hypnotism. Liegeois reported several cases before Academie des Sciences Morales et Politiques: “Mrs. O. is a young and very intelligent lady. She has received an excellent educa- tion. At first she energetically resisted ail suggestions, but gradually vielded. I made her believe that she owed me 1,000 francs, and asked for her note. She obstinately re- fused to give it, and declared that she owed me nothing and that she would never ac- knowledge any debt to me. I insisted. She began to hesitate. She remembered it, acknowledged it before several witnesses and wrote the note. On another occasion, when she seemed fully normal, he told the Same lady, in the presence of her husband and several other witnesses that she had promised to pay him, on account of her hus- band’s indebtedness to him, 100,000 francs. At first she denied that such a thing had ever been mentioned. Afterward she searched her memory, finally found that he was right, and wrote a bond for the sum.” In the same manner the hypnotizer can /abuse his influence over the sleeper, by i;compelling him to make out donations or make his will in the other’s favor, and even to take upon himself. the worst ficti- tious crimes. There would even be no difficulty in making away with an enemy or objectionable person in a manner which would not betray the originator of the crime. is only necessary to hypnotize the vic- / tim and to give him the suggestion that he | will commit suicide. With the strongest | possible love of life he will have difficulty bodies in resisting such a suggestion, There is still another way in which the hypnotized can be injured, viz., by drawing forth, under hypnosis, confessions and se- crets which they would not voluntarily dis- close when awake. Of course this may not succeed with all somnambulists, for some 'are very cautious and reserved and some | may even play the hypocrite and lie and de- | ceive their hypnotizer. But the great ma- jority will prove very frank and outspoken, and during the sleep may much too easily hurt themselves or others by revealing se- crets which ought to be Kept. Hence the answer to the second question would be that the hypnotized may fall hope- less victims to the most criminal and harm. ful actions of all kinds, not only while they are asleep, but also after they have been awakened, and certain sensitive individuals even without being hypnotized. “There lies such an infernal power in the hands of the hypnot:zer that eviry one ought to be strictly forbidden to meddle with hypnotism, except those who assume the responsibilities of a physician and who have the people’s welfare and woe in their hands.”’ The foregoing quotation from Dr. Bjorns- trom shows that there are others who agree with Dr. Hughes and the Municipal Board |of Health that the indiscriminate and irre- sponsible use of hypnotism should be con- ' trolled by law. °* Dr. Biornstrom also asks this question and answers it affirmatively: “Can one hypnotized be used in the service of crime as a ready tool without a will?” From the cases studied and reported by Liegeois and others it plainly follows that the hyno- tized can by all kinds of suggestions be made not only to harm themselves but also others. and that they may even be Irresist- iblvw driven to any crime. It is chiefly in this that the darkest side and the worst ‘dangers of hypnot'sm are found. By sug- vestion, persons can also be enade to com- mit perjury or to bear false witness; and this can be done in various ways; eltner eo that they make an entirely false state- ment of occurrences which they have really witnessed, or so that they are by retro- active suggestion, so-called, made lieve that they have witnessed occurrences which really never took place. The Tiza-Eslar affair is very illustrative ef rotraactive hallucination (Bernheim; Suewestive Therapeutics, p. 157): “A young jew, Moritz, of a village in Hungary, under the terrorizing influence of the Commis. sioner of Public Safety, testified that he heard a cry, went out, looked through the keyhole of the temple door, and saw Esther «tretched on the ground. Three men held her. The butcher cut her throat and caught the blood in three basins.”" However, jus- tice triumphed in the end and the twelve Jews whose lives were imperiled by the boy's confession escaped an ignominious death. Mr. Woolsey quotes Dr. Albert Moll of Berlin to prove his side of this controversy. | I will also quote Dr. Moll and show his act. ‘ual standing on the question under debate, Health have taken the proper stand in their , to be-- | Remedies,”’ Under the caption, “The Legal Asvect of Hypnotism,” page 334, et seq., he says: ‘*The first point to be considered is the re- lation of hypnotism to crime. The crimes committed on, and by, hypnotic subjects must both be discussed. We will begin with the first. The offenses against morality to which hypnotic subjects are exposed are important; few such cases have hitherto come to the notice of the law, F. C. Miller supposes that this may be because. from loss of memory, the subject is usually un- aware of them, But Forel’s§ supposition seems to me more probable. He thinks such offenses are rare because experimenters know that loss of memory is only temporary and that the subject may unexpectedly re- member the occurrences of earlier hypnosis. A number of such cases were brought to justice in Germany at the time when animal magnetism was flourishing. ‘‘Lately several cases have been made known in France. The case of Castellan in 1865, reported by Prosper Despine, is bet- ter known. An assault was committed on a subject in an obviously hypnotic state, although she retained her consciousness. Liegeois refers the case to suggestion. The Levy case in 1879 is also interesting. A dentist of Ronew, named Levy, assaulted a girl in the magnetic sleep. Levy was imprisoned for ten years. There are other cases in Liegeois, in Goltdammer’s Ar- chives for 1863 and in F. C. Miller’s book. The number would be increased if some cases of auto-somnambulism were counted among them. Among further offenses against hypnotic subjects may be mentioned int:ntional injury to health, which in some cases might be caused by post-hypnotic suggestion...All sorts of paralysis, loss of memory, etce., may be thus caused; even some paralysis with objective symptoms, such as the so-called paralysis dependent on idea. “I need hardly add that bodily injury may be caused by inattention to the proper precautions, nor need I discuss the ques- tion of deprivation of will in cases when the subject is hypnotized without his con- sent. Where js the protection in these cases from Mr. Woolsey’s auto-suggestion? “It has also been asked (Roux-Friessin- eng) whether suicide might not. be caused by suggestion, to which I say yes, if the suggestion were adroitly made. The hyp- notie state might be used to get possession of property illegally. People can be in- duced hypnotically and post-hypnotieally 2 sign promissory notes, deeds of gift, ete. Many proposals have been made for avoid- ing the possible dangers of hypnotism to health as well as morality. Delacroix in France demands that hypnotism should be legal only for doctors, and then only when at least two are present. Friedberg wished in 1880 that hypnotic ex- periments should only be allowed in the presence of a doctor. The foregoing con- clusively proves that Dr. Albert Moll and other authorities on hypnotism agree with the views of Dr. Hughes and the Municipal Board of Health that hypnotism should be restricted to the medical profession. I will now quote the opinion of Dr. Luys of Paris, France, a noted neurologist and a deep student of hypnotism. He uses this strong language: “‘The dangers of it (hyp- notism) are appalling. I have studied faith- fully, but can see no way in which they can be mitigated; nor does the future seem to promise any way. I cannot but feel con- vinced that, while we have undoubtedly found a valuable aid to medicine, and while we may have found an explanation for most of the things which have made science wonder during the ages in hypnotism, still we have also found in it the most horrible of all weapons for evil-doers. Criminals of all kinds, from the merely brutal to the magnificently skillful, may find in the trance and its accompaniments the method by which they may do any crime, any wickedness, without running the slightest risk of discovery. The man who knows what this really amounts to gasps when he thinks of it. It is not less than appalling.” Mr. Woolsey speaks of the protection which auto-suggestion gives the subject. This presupposes a knowledge which the subject does not possess, and even if they have the knowledge it is not a safeguard. Dr. Ochorawics has many times endormed subjects against their will—so have others. I grant it that the medical profession does not possess all knowledge—not even of hypnotism. But all the investigations of any scientific value in hypnotism have been made in the past, and are being made to- day, by the medical profession, If Mr. An- drew J. Woolsey is a graduate of Dr. Park- in’s Chicago Psychological Institute—and he represents the best thought and scientt- fic culture of that institution—the St. Louts medical profession need not worry over the loss of any advantages which that institu. tion gives. Mr. Woolsey seems to think that hypno- tism is applicable to all diseases. With thar view he ought to join the divine healers and g0 to work. Scientific physicians know that hypnotism subtends a small arc of the com- plete-circle of the healing art, perhaps 20 per cent, and in that measure they apply it. In spite of the claim of Mr. Woolsey that he possesses the last and adyanced thought on hypnotism, St. Louis physicians and medical men everywhire will approve the course of the Municipal Board of Health in regulating and restricting the practice of hypnotism.

AND THE BROWNS WON A GAME. ee Their Old-Time Rally in the Ninth Inning Comes to Their Aid Again—Other Games. Special to the Post-Dispatch. BALTIMORE, Md., June §.—Charlle Esper, the ex-Oriole, and h's colleagues fooled Manager Hanlon to-day. The manager of the champions thought his team would have such an easy thing of it with the Browns, and his discarded south-paw, that he de- cided to give Al. Maul, the ex-Senator, an opportunity to show whether his arm was really better than glass. The team seemed to share this confidence, and in the early part of the game played as if they did not care whether school kept or not. When they woke up they found they had a hard proposition before them, but it was then too late, for the Browns had etruck a winning gait, and Esper improved to his old-time form, though he was hit pretty hard from the beginning to the end of the game. Charlie Esper largely deserves the credit for the victory, for it was his stick work in every inning, but one, that produced, or at least assisted in getting in the winning runs, le was encouraged by the spectators, who applauded him throughout the game. He really started the run-getting for his side, when in the third with one hand out, he got on to a slow drop that was intended to fool him, and sent’it out of reach. Hariey ignominiously struck out, but Douglas and Turner each scored, Kelley helping things along with a bad throw which sent in Doug- las as well as Esper. In the sixth Grady walked to first. The two succeeding batsmen were easy ou's, but Murphy worked in an infield hit and Esper sent another run hoee with a clean single. In the seventh, Douglas singled and after two men had been retired came home on a pretty drive made by House- man, who had taken Hartman's place. Maul was making so many gifts chat Hanlon decided to take him out. Hoffer went in in his stead and lasted but one inn- ing. In the elghth with two men out House- man, Cross, Murphy and Esper each singled and the two winning runs were sent across the plate. The Browns had some luck too, for though the Orioles hit the ball hatd they could not make their hits count for much. In the third for example, Kelley began with a double, a badly misjudged fly »y Doug- las, but was thrown out at third on Sten- zel's hit to Cross. Jake was then thrown out running to second. Doyle and Reitz each singled, but no runs resulted. The score: BALTIMOILE. | Si. ABH i AE Keeler, rf. i : ' Harley, ef.. Jennings, ss!

They began their war talk in the second inning yesterday. Arguijo, the first base- man, advised Nuncio, the short stop, to keep his eye on Moncado, who was coach- ing at third. Jake Bene heard it and was terror struck directly. He made a bee line to Al Spink, who backs the Sporting News a and when he caught his breath he said; “Say, General, what's this you've steered us up against? How do we know they ain’t putting up a job to do us with knives after the game's over? Maybe they'll spike us and throw us down and cripple us for life the next time one of our men gets a base.’’ Mr. Spink assured Jake that the Mexi- cans were merely talking in their native language. Jake said the rules of '97 strict- ly provided pure English for all games ex- cept those 'n which Pat Tebeau and Scrap- py Joyce were engaged, and that the excep- tion was made then only because those Players couldn’t speak pure English. Mr. Spink said he was not familiar with that rule and as long as the visitors were shy on pure English he thought an excep- tion should be made for them, as well as for Joyce and Tebeau. “Oh, well, that means I can talk to my men like I want to,”’ sa‘d Jake. The next time Kling, Bader, Sulze and Fairbach of the Sporting News went to bat, Jake coached them in choice Ger- man. He also embraced an advantatge he thought the visitors were taking of him. “Let's be easy with ‘'em,”’ said Kling in German in the seventh inning, after four more runs._had been tallied for the Sporting News team: “Not on your life,’’ yelled back Jake. “What do you think they'd do to us if they had us down in Mexico land! Not a thine! Make all you can. A Greaser ran me out of Abilene, Tex., once for giving a rank de- cision, and now I’m going to show no pity on anybody who comes from the hot tomale country.’’. The diamond, while the game was in progress, Was more gaudy than a circus poster. The brown skins of the visitors were set off with full uniforms of red with black cap and stockings. Herr Bene’s curve- pounders wore full suits of yellow with oc- casional plays of the same tint. Andy Kolley umpired, which was a severe test of Aztec patience. He meant well enough, but somehow his eyes would get tangled up every now ard then, and ft was even betting which way his decisions would oO. ©The Mexicans kicked like Anson had trained them, and Manager Dix cried our several times that his team couldn't play ten men. The locals won by a score of 16 to 6. It was a clese and pretty game for four in- nings, the Mexicans surprising every one with their familiarity with the game. They play a scientific game, and have their own code of signals down to perfection. They never know when they are whipped, either, which is another factor in the good luck they’ve had since leaving San Antonio. In running bases and in the out- field they can give the average American cards and spades and beat him. At bat they are terrors to a speedy pitcher, but are easy victims to slow balls and drops. The ages of the players vary from 2 to 2% years, and three of them—Muncio, Sio- ralez and De Con—are native Spaniards. The team was gathered together by Man- ager Dix in San Antonio. He has named his nine Topo Chico, which means ‘‘small.” The name is not exactly appropriate, for the players are about as husky a lot as could be organized. Mr. D'x explained that there are hot springs in Mexico known as Tepo Chico, and in honor to the springs he had chris- tened his team. It looked much as if the Topo Chicos were going to win the way things began yes- terday. They jumped on to Freeman, who pitches a speedy ball, and batted out five runs in the first two innings. Crinnion, who twirls a slow ball, was subs -ituted in the third inning,;and hits were scattered after that. But one Mexican, Paulino, the eatcher, could solve Crinnion, and he knocked a ripping four-bagger to center in the seventh inning. Montez pitched well for the visitors until the seventh inning, when his arm gave out. Bad support at third base had already lost them the game, and no substitute was put in when the Sporting News touched up Montez for seven hits in that inning. For the local team: good plays were made by Bader, Fairbach, Kling and Sulze. Land batted like a fiend, having four hits, two of them. doubles, to his credit. The two nines play again at South Side Park this afternoon. The Mexicans will have a new battery, Moreng and Lopez—no relation to the old New York firm of the- atrical photographers—and Manager Dix promises he will win the game. He said yesterday the men were tired from their all night ride, and excused their slowness on that account. SOME SOUND ADVICE. The Well-Expressed Opinicn of a Young Lady Base Ball ‘‘Fan.” In glancing over the sporting news my attention was drawn, to my extreme sor- row and disgust, to a deal consummated by Von der Ahe in which he traded Tommy Dowd for Hallman, Grady and Harley of Philadelphia. Now, is Mr. Von der Ahe so stup:d as to imagine that he has made a fair deal; if so, I beg to differ, and also to impress upon that gentleman’s mind the fact that Philadelphia has _ secured in Tommy Dowd one of the best outfielders in | the league; also a fairly good second base- man. Although not very strong at the bat he is one of the swiftest base-runners the league ever contained. St. Louis has se- cured in Hallman a second baseman of very ordinary class, and in Grady and Harley two players who have seldom or ever been in the game so far this season, and may be well termed, ‘‘bench-warmers;” consequent- ly we have in Hallman a very ordinary sec- ond baseman, the like of which, can be er — every .day in the week, while *hiladelphia has the best of the deal, in which they have in Tommy Dowd an une- qualed outfielder, fairly good second base- man, passable batter and a swift and unex- celled base-runner. Now, can Mr. Von der Ahe see his mis- take, or will he still insist on buying for a eong players from the minor leagues, devel- oping them into good ball players and then selling or trading them off for a dozen or more ‘‘bench warmers,’’ with a few bum ball players to boot? How can this great magnate expect to prosper in this greatest of all sports unless he renders to the fans a team full worthy of being called St. Louis Browns? The fact is well known that St. Louis ‘s one of the most enthusiastic base ball cit- ies in the league, and if Mr. Von der Ahe would infiict justice upon the public he would not be forced to sell h's players to enlarge his fortunes, but simply attain it from the patrons alone. He surely does not forget the years of '85, '86, ’87 and ’88, when the grounds used to be filled to over- flowing. Mr. Von der Ahe expects his team tv win the pennant, but we do not ask for impossibil.ties—we merely ask for a team that can win one game out of ey- ery six they play. We could have had a pennant-winning team in the players Mr. Von der Ahe has sold or traded off, namely: Walter Brodie, Theodore Bre'tenstein, tz, Joe Quinn, Pink Hawley, Fred y, Dick Cooley, ran Shugart, K'‘d Gleason, “Dick Buckley, Arthur Clarkson. and last, but not least, Tommy Dowd. I wonder now what Mr. Von der Ahe’s next deal will consummate? If he will .kindly allow me, one of his patrons, to give him a bit of good advice, I will Say that if I were he I would endeavor to sell or trade a few more good men, such as Edd'e Me. Farland, Monte Cross, Douglas, Hartman and others, for a few more “bench warm- ers’ or bum base ball players. In reading over notes of interest in your official score book I noticed an article which read thus: “During the last Eastern (rip the Browns, under Dowd’se management, won nine games. This ts the best record the 8&t. Lou's Club has made abroad since enter- ing the league. Tommy can and wi}] do better in 1897."" I wonder why théy did not give Tommy a chance after making such a statement? Hoping and trusting that we will sometime in the near future be able to attend a ball game worthy cf the taking up of our t'me, I will close with Sympathy for the depressed public and best Wishes, not to Mr. Von der Ahe, but to the players alone, SADIE M.

MILES CITY, Mont., June 5.—Stock In- spector Smith, having in charge Badger, the Indian who killed Sheepherder Hvover, arrived here at 3 o’clock this afternoon. They reached the railroad five miles west dale. won the ladies’ doubles from Misses | of here and «ame in by train. When the train arrived the depot platform was crowd- ed. Special police and Deputy Sheriffs were on hand to protect the prisoner should the citizens resort to violence. On the platform Badger stood erect with his arms folded, exhibiting very little signs of nerv- ousness. His face was streaked with ped paint and his blanket was drawn tightjy over his shoulders. He had shackles on h's feet. Badger was escorted to the rail- road by a company of cavalry commanded by Capt. Read. County Attorney Porter learned to-day that there are 10 Indians implicated in the murder of Hoover. The of six are known to the officer. W rants will. be placed tin the iff’s hands and all who _ interfere with them in d'‘scharging their duty will be arrested as long as the Sheriff and posse are able to do it Agent Stouch will not allow Sheriffs on reservation as a letter, dated June 3, to W. D. Smith, Deputy Sheriff of Custer County, will show. He says: ‘IT consider that the presence here of your- self and other Sheriffs or deputies pending the investigation of the case in question Is a source of irritation and disturbance to the Indians under my charge, and to a great ex- tent' hampers me in conducting the :nvesti- gation, and in managing the Indians under my authority. I row direct and order that you and all other Sheriffs or Deputies leave the reservation without delay, and that you remain outside the mits of the same untii you can come provided with duly executed warrints of a specific nature.” The warrants were for “John Doe” and Indian Agent Stouch objected to them on these grounds. It is just learned that Matt Winters, a Dep- uty Sherff, who was left at the reservation to watch the suspects, had been forcibly ejected from the reservation by the Indian police by orders of Agent Stouch. County Attorney Porter leaves for Helena Sunday. His errand is to consult the Gov- ernor regarding the Indian trouble. CONVICT DIES AT HOME. Effie Bascome’s Murderer Carried Off by Consumption. Wm.

AUGUSTINE, Fa., June §.—Shortly before midnight Friday a man supposed to be Isaac Barrett, a colored farm hand, en- tered the house of H. J. Hewson, a farmer at Orangedale, and murderously assaulted Mr. Hewson, his wife and a 7-year-old son while they slept. All were hit on the head with a piece of scantling. The daughter, Magg'e, grappled with th» negro and fought so bravely that he left the house. The son ig said to be dying, but the parents may re- cover. Later Barrett was arrested and his cap- tors proceeded with him to the office of the Justice of the Peace, Zium. On the way the negro managed to disarm one of his guards” and attacked both men. doctor ap- pronase and the gun was also leveled at im, holding all three at bay.

GREAT EXHIBITION BY THE TOP- GALLANT COLT. EXCITING STRUGGLE FOR PLACE Club Members’ Handicap Easily Won by the Favorite and Ulysses a Nose in Front of Nimrod. Laughingly, with his head in the air, his mouth wide open, his jockey’s hands wrapped thrice in the bridles, Typhoon II., gallant son of Top Gallant-Dolly Var- den, romped home a winner by seven lengths in the Club Members’ handicap. It was the second greatest stake race in the West. He landed it with the same impressive ease that characterized his vic- tories in the Kentucky Derby and the Me- morial Handicap. Runaway races are not usually interest- ing but Typhoon II, made picturesque yesterday’s big stake event at the Fair Grounds. He gave a magnificent exhibi- tion of class. Large, lithe, perfectly poised and proportioned, he looked every inch a perfect racing machine as he sprung out at the’flag fall and swung down past the grand stand in the opening quarter of the race. . He seemed to be out for a pleasant jog. There was no trace of effort, but the ground flew under his feet. That first quarter so easily and quickly traversed, was reeled off at the rapid pace of :23%. So it was with the a@rcund the track. The rest of the bunch fhundered after him in mad effort to keep the lightning pace. It was all of no avail. Whip and spur will not make up for class. Ulysses, Macey, Nimrod—these are names to conjure with in any betting ring—but the animals are not in Typhoon’s flight. Furlong after furlong the gap of daylight lengthened between the leader and his would-be rivals. He was galloping around the stable turn. He was making his run for home before the flying bunch behind had swung into the stretch. He galloped aimost leisurely it seemed. When he drew near the grand stand Garner could.be seen laughing over his shoulder at the struggling racers ten lengths behind. Without a touch of whipor spur or the loosening of a wrap, he-gal- loped past the post only two and one-half seconds behind the record time for the Derby distance. There is no telling what mark he might have made had he been pushed. He justi- fied the form players’ assertions that noth- ing in the race would make him stretch his heck. Club Members’ Day is usually the gala event of the Jockey Club’s season. It is the day for fashion and fine gport, for great crowds, big betting and fancy cos- tumes, for heightened effécts in all the accessories that a race track, a feast for the eye and a delight to the blood. The Jockey Club did its share towards making the event memorable, but the pub- lic response Was half-hearted. Whether it be Puritanism or hard times, society gave the event the cold shoulder. The club-house verandah was only sprinkled with guests. There was only one big cluster of gaily costumed ladies on the lawn. The upper balcony was a row of empty red benches. Time was when elbow room was at a premium on the day of the big event within the club-house enclosure. The upper floor of the grand stand was vacant. The boxes were not as well filled @ on last Saturday. . Downstairs there was the usual crowd of familiar faces. The women who are prom- inent, but never known in public places, pre- dominated. The betting ring was the only piace that gave evidence of a busy day. Fifteen pencilers withstood the public ar- gument, and quit losers on the day. Kight thousand spectators saw in all as fine a day’s sport as was ever witnessed at the track. The wéather was ideal, the track in splendid shape, the racing true to form and the finishes in every event of the hair-raising order,. Interest in the opening dash at five fur- langs centered in the prospective duel be- tween Barney Schrieber’s Sorrow and Sen- ator O'Brien's Empress Joseph'ne. The for- mer ruled at 2 to 1 in the books, the latter closed at 18 to 5, Ben Frost was held at “8 and had supporters. Frost led into the stretch, close pressed by Sorrow and Veri- fy, and then blew up. Verify was in front for a few jumps whén Joeenhine came up with a fine burst of speed and landed in front by a length. Sorrow was half a length behind Verify, a good gelding that Was overlooked..

Remember Me and Revenue laid back until the stretch when they pulled ‘out and overhauled the leaders, Remember:Me galloped home with- out trouble. Revenue pressed Charlie Chris- ty against the rail and took the place from him hy a scant half length. The summaries: Second race, seven and one-half furlongs, urse Remember Me 05 (J.

Dr. Redmond, a specialist in the study ' and treatment of Piles and rectal diseases recently stated that the Pyramid Pile ‘Cure, the new discovery for the cure of iles, was the most remarkable remedy he ad ever.seen or tried in one respect: and ‘that was, the instant relief experi- enced in all cases, no matter how severe from the moment the remedy was ap- lied; this was the more surprising to im, because he had carefully analyzed the preparation and no trace of opium cocaine or similar poison could be de. tected. Physicians look with great favor upon the Pyramid Pile Cure; because it is rap- idly taking the place of surgical opera- tions and because it is so simple, so easily applied and contains no mineral or-other poisens so commonly used in pile cures. Dr. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra- mid Pile Cure not only cures the various forms of Piles, but never fails to give immediate relief on the first application, no matter how severe the pain or dis- comiort may be. People who have suffered from piles for years are often astonished at the in- stant relief experienced from the first application.

Thére was little betting argument over the winner of the big stake event. Typhoon IT. was beld out of the books and 3 to 1 -was of- fered against the field. The heavy Play was on the placed horse. Four to five was the best the pencilers would offer against Nim- rod’s chances. {is record itn tha Detroit ‘Derby at one and one-half miles figured him as a certainty, especially as Macey was never known to have gone the Derby dis- tance, For all that the bookies would have nonerof Shorr’s colt, and offered no price against him. Three to one was the figure against Ulysses, Chances and Dare II. was hammered down to the same figure by Col. Cassiday’s heavy onslaught. As told above, thé race was a romp for Typhoon Il A prettier contest for place was never witnessed, With Cahn’s colt lengths away, Macy led the bunch ty | two lengths around the turn, with Ulysses in hot ursuit,and with Nimrod at his withers, They ept this order until the stable turn, where Nimrod came to the fore. Ulysses was up to him in afew jumps. The two swung in- to the stretch neck and neck. Whip and spur were plied, while the two ran bunched as if under a blanket. Macy was first to give ip. Then Matthews and Irving went to the bat Kke demons. Nimrod had the ad- vantage by a head, but Irving rose in his saddle girths, and with one splendid jump landed his mount across the line by the scantest of noses. The thrilling drive compensated for the tameness with which the field yielded to the real victor. Garner, who rode the great Typhoon II., was greeted with the cus- tomary cheer, and drove off from the judges’ stand encircled by a big yellow horseshoe. The fractional time of the race was: :23%, :4844, 1:13%, 1:40; 2:07.

WEFERS WAS TOO ILL TO GO. tt ee ee TO-MORROW, MONDAY, JUNE 1, \Flannagan of the Hammer Was on Hand and Carried Off Some | Prizes—Other Field Trials. NDPW YORK, June 5.—Travers Island, the country home of the New York Athletic Club, never looked to better advantage than it did this afternoon at the club’s fifty- e‘'ghth series of athletic events took place. Through the breaking down of Wefers, the famous Georgetown sprinter, and T. R. Fisher, Jr., of Yale, these two were unable to compete. In addition to these absentees there were others, the most notable of whom were H. J. Cofelt and J. F. Cregan, the Princeton runners, who were detained at the university on account of examinations, The spectators, who numbered about 6,000, were not entirely disappointed, as two world’s champions put in an appearance. These were Tom Burke of Boston, the fa- mous quarter-mile runner, and John F. Flannagan, the Irishman, who stretched the world’s hammer-throwing record more than five feet at the Bergen Poimt games last Monday. Burke avon the 440 yards run in :49 1-5 sec., and broke the tape easing up. In less than an hour afterwards he started in the half- mile scratch race, and, as the puce was slow in the first quarter, and Manvelt made ' his sprint too soon when nearing the finish, 'everything was as if made to order for the | Bostonian, and he won this event also. In the hammer throwing Flannagan had only two opponents, McCracken and Larken.

Chad- wick of Yale was entered for this event, but d.d not compete. The running broad jump handicap re- sulted in a close finish. Just a dozen men competed and the work of the handicapper, J. J. Dixon, was so good that there waa not quite two inches between the first four } men at the fihish. Meyer Prinstein of} Syracuse made the third best actua! jump | of the day. He covered 21 feet 11% inches, | which was beaten by Rogers anil Bloss, the scratch men, who jumped 23 feet inch and 26 feet % inches, resnectively. | Prinstein’s work was very good and prom-} ises well for the future. The mile run was won by Pennsylvania’s crac runner, | pretty, as the first three men crossed the tape almost simultaneously. Thompeon o Yale, with an allowance of four feet, beat his club mate, Perkins, that distance in the 120-yard hurdle race. The threemile run should have been won by Hjertberg of the New Jersey Ath- letic Club, but he contented himself with coaching young Chrstenven of the same club in the last two laps and suffered defeat by half a yard as the younger runner crossed the tape first. anderen BROKE THREE RECORDS. Western Intercollegiate Champion- ship Games a Success. CHICAGO, Til, June 6.—At the annual meet of the Western Intercollegiate Ama- teur Athletic Field to-day J, H. Maybury, the crack sprinter of the University of Wis- consin, broke the world’s record for 220 yards around a turn, covering the distance in 21 2-5 seconds. He also equaled the world’s amateur record for 100 yards, § -46 seconds. In both events he won easily. In the hurdles John Richards and A. rane- ziin, both Wisconsin men, broke the West- ern intercollegiate records for 1200 and 220 ‘ards respectively, and F. 8S.

THE CAT’S NINE LIVES. , amateur—J. A. ohn Zimmerman, Brown, 10 yarda, Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. Since quite young I have pendered erst the or gin of the nine lives which the cat is ered ted with having, and not being ete ascertain from anyone the source of i, I have endeavored to theorige It. My theory may be unsubstantial though I hepe that it may elucidate the origin. We ali have heard of Mt. Olympus, the rendezvous of the deities who participated In the feasts of Zeus and Mt. Hetecon, the mountain con- secrated to nymphs and nalads, which bathed in the spring that was formed by the stamp of Pegasus’ hoof. here were L. Burroughs, Chicago, } nine goddesses of various en leg mente and pleasures, who dwelt here. ese were — a classed “The Nine Muses.” They sang not infrequently at the reveries and feasts of Zeus, who of times praised them, though sel- dom did he praise any, but one day the obeisance and neglect in attention, and be- ing precipitant in anger. he pronounced an irrevocable sentence, transforming them, leaving them with one body, and that one of the lower animal. Yet the nine Nves re- mained. So our felis domestic cuss, or more ordinarily, mews, which often breaks fn j upon our slumbers. while sitting invulnera- ble upon our back fence, making naught of all our curses and retaining its equanimity while old shoes and canes fly around it at random, is the result of the sentence which Zeus pronounced upon the nine. Could you help from pitying the mews. while it cries in such agonizing tones, after having fallen victim to such a lamentable fate? Weigh and consider, and In the fut- ure the mews may perhaps receive better treatment at our hands than it heretofore has received. I dare say that we may alge account for the cat-of-nine-talls, being & muse, but never can we account for it ing amusing. . EK. EDMUNDS, JR. Ethel’s Caution to Dolly.

FATALLY BURNED. VICTIM OF A GASOLINE EXPLO- SION IN EAST ST. LOUIS. IN A CAN. MISTAKE MADE The Liquid That Did the Mischief Was a Present From a Friend Who Is Going Abroad. sd Mrs. Elizabeth Pelletier of East St. Louis was carried in an ambulance to St. Mary's Hospital at noon yesterday to die, the vic- tim of a gasoline explosion. A few minutes before she had placed an empty coal oil can on a stove, ¢n which she thought there was no fire, to fill it, as she supposed, with kerosene. The can exploded and her clothing was set on fire. The victim is a widowed French woman, wiho lived in a neat little cottage on North Third street, No. 640, a short distance from the home of Mayor M. M. Stephens. Her only companion was a ward and nephew, Lee Ferris, aged 20, who was at work at the Nelson-Morris Dressed Beef Works, when the accident occurred. Last Monday an old countrywoman and acguaintance of Mrs. Pelletier, who was on the eve of returning to France, called at the little cottage and informed her friend that she had disposed of all her household goods preparatory to an ocean trip. Before bidding Mrs. Pelletier good-bye she remembered that she had two five-gallon jugs, one filled with gasoline, and the other with kerosene, which she insisted on presenting to Mrs. Pelletier. The gift was accepted in the kindly spirit in which it was tendered. Next day_ the country woman took a train for New York, and is now on an Atlantic steamer eastward bound. ; A few minutes before the accident -Mrs. Pelletier, who is 70 vears of age, was sit- ting on the front stoop, chatting with Mrs. William Bartlett, who occupied apartments in one end of the Pelletier home. The. old lady remarked that she was happy over the thought that Saturday’s house, clean- ing was done, with the exception of filling her lamps. Then she _ stepped into the kitchen and discovered that her old kero- sene can was empty. Remembering her friend’s kindness hunted up one of the jugs. She placed the tin can on the stove, where she had had nofire since breakfast, not thinking of the coals that smoldered in the grate. Uncorking the jug, which she supposed contained kerosene, she began to pour its contents into the can. Suddenly there was a loud report followed by agonizing shrieks. She had used a jug of gasoline instead of kerosene. Flames enveloped her form and she was being roasted alive when two laborers at work nearby jumped a partition fence and dragged her out into the yard. Then Mrs, Bartlett, her daughter and her mother, seized quilts and blankets, threw them over the fiame-wrapped body and _ drenched the coverings with water. As soon as the flames were subdued Kur- rus’ ambulance and Dr. Doyle were sum- moned. By this time a crowd had gathered and were devoting their energies to putting out the fire in the kitchen, which threatened the destruction of the littl home. Their efforts were successful. A hasty examination of Mrs. Pelletier’s condition convinced the physician that death was only a question of a few hours, and the ambulance conveyed the tortured woman to the hospital. “She is absolutely cooked from head to foot,’’ said one of the hospital nurses to a Post-Dispatch reporter who called there she Present the above coupon at any time to-morrow at the office of the Post-Dispatch and receive the free sample package of No-To-Bac.

The bondholders of the People’s Railway Co. and the Fourth Street and Arsenal Co. met yesterday afternoon at the office of the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. and named Charles R Parsons, August Gehner and James Campbell as trustees to look after their interests. Ever since the court ordered the roads sold at auction it had been believed that the bondholders, who had been warring among themselves, would get together g@ as to reap the full benefit of the sale. It is said that only one is now holding out. It is understood that Receiver Green has backing and will endeavor to buy the reads. The bondholders also want them. Of the three new trustees, Messrs. Campbell and Gehner are opposed to Receiver Green. VISITORS IN THE CITY. H. I. Jones of Sedalia is at the Laclede. . Booth of Sedalia is at the Laclede. . Walker of Denver is at the Laclede. ’.

The they returned it $140 was Bis chief witnesses were Mrs. Elizabeth Paint- ent! er, who rented a room to the dead woman, ye mo and Mrs. W. H. Lieyd, whose littie son sometimes ran errands for her. fe" Mrs. Painter testified that she d'd not know Viola Jamison was a chiloroform fiend, and that the dead woman's conduct e the had been good. Mre. Lioyd’s testimony was to the effect that she discovered only Thursday that her son frequently carried chloroform to Miss Jamison and that she then forbade him going upon any mofe such errands. The verdict tn the case was that Miss Jamieon's death was due to “some irritat- ing polson, cause unknown.” When Miss Jamison’s body was discov- ered Friday an empty bottle bearing & chloroform label was found near by. In her left hand she clasped a letter signed by W. A. Koch, of 15 Willett street, Cieve- land, O. Koch was her eweetheart, with whom she had been ving as his wife.

WHEN OLD HIGH WHEELS WERE 4 THE ONLY ONES. RIDERS BANDED FOR SECURITY. Professor Stone Tells an Interesting Story of How Wheeling Be- .. gan in St. Louis. From a Run Down the Cycle Path. Cycling in St. Louls may be said to have Wegun about the year 1879, when Johnny Biow, as he was familiarly known to St. Loulisans, was occasionally seen on the streets mounted on something that was called a variety of names (the proper one being generally unknown), velocipede, vicy- cle, Yankee wagon, some few of the ini- tiated being able to give it the correct ap- pellation of bicycle. About that time Johnny Blow had started @ bicycle school at the old St. George’s Hall, located at Seventh and Locust atreete, for beginners, and there a few dis- ciples to the new idea, and others who formed a spirit of investigation, wrestled with the various troubles besetting the ca- reer ofe«a learner on the old ordinary. °All this was preliminary to the second period of cycling history, :. which introduces ws to the central figures of that period— la Stone, Agthur Young, Richard Garvey, ack Rogers,”Harry Cranz, George Oeters, ©. Fred A. Beckers, Tom Meyer, George Brancis, Harry Francis, Jack Humes, Dr. L. Gregory and Dr. E. M. Senseney. The bond between these few pioneer wheelmen Was wonderfully strong, and the individual- i of each peculiarly marked. That the wheel was unpopular was soon evidenced by the growing hostility that menaced these few riders whenever they ventured on the road. So marked was this that it was unsafe for any one of them to venture out alone, and the habit of riding together was thus encouraged as much for security’s sake as the ostensible one of companionship. Orses would scare, and unreasonable men en rode in as ages so that altercations blows were by no means uncommon. But, as the little band of qyclers slowly but eadily increased, the cases of scary horses diminished; the men driving on the roads gan to realize that even a wheelman had some rights that they were bound to respect, and after the police courts had dealt severe- sy’ but justly with a dozen or two of these -called road monopolizers, a fair share of e rond was acknowledged as theirs by ht. It fs but just, however, to state here that the sturdy courage and manly insist- ence of Cola Stone, as to what was right fair on the occupancy of public high- ys, had more to do with the solution of this feature of early cycling troubles than amy other agency. Never aggressive, but al- Ways ready to battle for his convictions, ang with a physique that was in entire har- mony with his greatness of sou!; always cool and utterly fearless, he often accomplished percerul settlement of impending difficulties y. his presence alone. ‘As the number of whealmen increased, the fyll meaning of the possibilities of the wheel bégan to possess the minds of the devotees. Health and pleasure were both promoted, and the racing man became a figure of in- terest in the fraternity, that so far as St. I®uis wag then concerned was a decidedly unknown quantity. The wheels in vogue then were of Pope manufacture—the Colum- bila—standard make. A very few of the ex- rt Columbias were now and then seen. e dealers were very few. In a little of- Mr. E.

A little ripple of enthusiasm seemed to come over the cycling conditions one spring and hard Garvey opened a store on Pine etreet, which was in active operation a rt time. It was then and there the old mssouri Bicycle Club was accustomed to meet, with about twenty members, nearly ei! the wheelmen in town being represented. r “£OOn moved to Twelfth street, with Cola Stone in his employ. The latter, see- ing an opportunity to branch out for him- seif, opened a store on Olive near Twelfth. Now quite numerous accessions to the cy- cing ranks were made. C. M.

A meeting was called at the uthern Hotel for the purpose of reorgan- Ag the new Missouri Bicycle Club, which had somewhat languished after its spasm of active operations under Garvey’s patron- age. At that meeting, quite numerously at- tended, W. E. Hicks of the Post-Dispatch became a central figure, and in a most fer- vent appeal to those assembled, wherein the “white dove of peace” was invoked as a@factor of harmony, secured a reputation for zeal, and showed such ability in shap- ing wheeling affairs, that ever after he was looked upon as a true wheelmen’s friend, Dis through him the columns of the Post- spatch were opened up to the cyclers is meeting at the Southern Hotel prolific of results, and soon a club house 28 Cardinal avenue, between Olive and ne streets, commodious and tasteful, was the property of the club, and, if the club did not have ‘‘money to burn,” it was at least in easy circumstance 8 Out of debt and Ourishing.

Races Which Are Not Races, but Only Trick Contests. The racing rules provide for four styles of track events—opens, handicaps, lap races and team races. The first three mentioned fill all the ordinary requirements, and the team race is of such infrequent occurrence as not to be considered ‘n this connection, By the time the “inventors” are through, these four styles will be increased tenfold, and every racing man that travels circuit will perforce be compelled to carry the clever little treatise yet to be written— “Every Man His Own Trick-rider.”’ Tom Cooper ran against one of these freak races at the Buffalo national circuit meet in Sept., 189. The race was an indescrib- able sort of an event, in which a man had to win three straight heats to get one prize. He had to win his race five times, taking up the best part of a two-days’ meet, in order to be credited with winning the mile open. The quarter-prize scheme was tried dur- ing the past year at Peoria, Trenton and Waverly, and in each event there was either a serious fall or a badly mixed and scattered field at the finish. The post-prize scheme is constructed along these lines, and was tried out on the coast a year ago, with the result that a lot of incompetent judges got at loggerheads as to whom the post prizes should be awarded, and the racin men raised such a storm of disapprova that the scheme died a’borning. The unpaced races that are run at Den- ver come under th'is category. They have two styles of them, one in which both men start from opposite sides of the small track, going the same way, and the other in which the two men start opposite each other and go in dfferent directions, necessitating the ary npg (7 of one of the contestants by sending him the wrong way of the track. In the first case the race ceases to be un- Cc i 1. \s .

In the latter the disadvantage to the man riding the wrong way, and the danger of both men wobblin into each other &long toward the latter en of a twenty-five-mile grind, are two fac- tors that go far towards condemning the race. In this connection it may be men- tioned, however, that the Denverites, with true Rocky. Mountain courtesy, always al- low the visitor to saddle himself with the d'sadvantage of “riding backward,” or else they won't race him. The French have an improvement on this unpaced riding. They start the men from opposite sides of the track, going the same way, and the race is over when one or the other man gets caught.

Good health and cheerfulness are the wings of Chrisfianity. The bicycle has brought and is bringing all these. The wheel was for a time simply regarded as a plaything. It is now our business to make the world see its actual] need of the machine, For my part, I regard my wheel not as a toy, but as an ever-ready and faith- ful servant. I have calculated that six times as much pastoral work can be done with the assistance of the wheel as can be done on foot, and with less exertion; 80 one day on a wheel is worth six days on foot. If a person is so conditioned and hampered that the only time at his disposal! for a quiet, healthful ride on the wheel is Sunday, then get on your wheel and enjoy your ride. You are committing no unpardonable sin. It will do you as much good, if not more, than attending church and listening to some such preachers as,J have in mind at this moment. Another abuse I would mention is the costumes worn by wheelmen and women, If these become fashionable, thousands of eople will stay off the wheel rather than uy a wheel and wear them, These cos- tumes are not fit to appear in the parlor, and are not fit, therefore, for a civilized community. They look rakish and tough, and the better element discards them. Notes, ‘Ricycle trains on the Manhattan Ele- vate _— New York City, are & pro-, nounced success. Handicapper C. P.

The second section of the Parsons bill pro- vides that no city, town or village shall have any power to make laws respecting the use of bicycles or tricycles except as provided in the act, and it further provides that the main part of the act applies to all vehicles, not exclusively to cycles. That is, as we understand it, regulations regard- ing the-use of sidewalks ma made for cycles alone, but regulations requiri lamps and alarm bells, if made at all, mus include all vehicles without discrimination, It appears, therefore, that if any city or town makes the use of and lanterns compulsory for wheelmen, [t must make similar regulations for all sorts o Wagons, trucks and carriages.

— : 2 « DE , James Berry’s Sudden Rise From Poverty to Great Wealth. o=Eeeeeeeee Now He Is Spending It Like a Prince of the Orient. Gnas The People of Salem, Ill, Are Dazzled by His Reckless Generosity—His Wealth Was Left Him by a Relative. “Salem! Here lives the prince!” This is the shout that goes up daily from the depot of the ancient little Illinois town whose previous fame rested upon its his- tory as the birthplace of William Jennings Bryan. The railway passengers hastily alight and make inquiries whether the Prince is still there, what he has done that day to aston- ish the natives and how long he expects to remain in the uncultured West. It is no fairy story, either. A real flesh- and-blood potentate is honoring Salem with his presence and distributing the coin of the realm with so free and generous a hand that even those longer accustomed to wealth hold their breath in surprise, while the poor are beginning to revel in the nearness of a prosperity with which McKinley's administration cannot be cred- ited. Nothing in the realm of fiction or fact quite approaches the cleverness, the brill- jance and the history surrounding this prince of Salem. He may have dropped from the clouds or from an airship, as far as anybody is yet able to determine, but the banks cash his big checks, his drafts and bills of exchange with prompt cour- tesy. This ought to be proof positive that he is a living reality, even were the visi- ble signs of his possessions and existence otherwise wanting. Banks are not in the habit of ‘giving up money to ghosts or paupers. And so the people of Salem, who are now entertaining an angel “in their midst,’’ are one so with the profoundest knowledge of his angelic qualities and powers. The money he has recently distributed Here the bride interrupted with: “‘Where are the witnesses?’ ; “That’s so,” said the clerk. “‘Here’s Tul- Willlams en- ley for one.”’ x-Deputy Sheriff T. W. tere@ at this moment and was subpoened to help Pulley witness the marriage. he ceremony was quick said and the groom handed a $20 bill to the justice. The Squire's eyes bulged out. If Cinde- rilla had appeared in her carriage, all ready for the ball, he would not have been more astounded. He began to think it was rain- ing twenty-dollar bills. Ina jiffy the clerk had made out the cer- tificate, with a few stray flourishes, and he pressed it toward the groom, but the bride unexpectedly received it and etowed it away in her pocket—that undiscoverable re- ceptacle into which thieves neither break through nor steal. The prince and princess walked out to the pavement. A boy in waiting, who had held the horse during the ceremony, was re- warded with $2. He fell in a fit. At the northwest corner of Court-house square stands the Park Hotel, the fash- lonable inn of the town, whose owner and manager is Capt. Johnson, for thirty years a Missouri and Mississipp! River captain, who settled down amid the beauty and rest- fulness of Salem, just twenty-seven years ago. Into the Park Hotel strode the groom and his bride. “We've just been married, Cap,”’ sald the prince, as he spread the necessary names over the register. “‘Give us the best you’ve got. Money is no object.” “Well, we have a very nice room,” began the Captain. _ “One room, -fidtting!’’ came the answer. one want two, three, the whole parlor oor.”’ A few minutes later nearly the entire house was turned over to the millionaire from New York, and during the remainder of the week he held public receptions which began at 7 o’clock in the morning and regretfully closed at midnight.

He paid $1 for a shave. He bought cigars by the bunch, laid down a bill and went away without waiting for change. He gave $1 to a boy for a brief errand; he gave 50 cents to another for walking upstairs and returning with the prince’s hat; he spread himself over every- thing that struck his fancy and refused all proffers of change. Friday he looked in his pocketbook with dismay. It only contained seven $20 bills, four $10 Lills and six $5 bille. He went to the bank and drew a draft on Mt. Vernon for $500. Handing it through the window, he said: “Telegraph to Mt. Vernon and see that I’m all right. I'll pay the expense.” “Not necessary,’’ said the banker. ‘‘All we want is your identification.”’ That was easy. The whole town could have identified him, but several passers-by said they knew him, and the $300 was passed out to the prince. This became instantly noised abroad. The bank knew of his wealth. It stood ready, on advices presumably from Mt. Vernon, to honor his drafts, and that settled at once and forever his financial standing in Salem.

Thereat the citizens generally sauntered down to the Park Hotel to get a glimpse of the prince. He was there, and all they had heard proved true, with additions and scallops of trimming such as In their wildest dreams they had never encountered. After nightfall a brass band appeared, upon an order from his highness, and for an hour made the surrounding country ring with welkins. They tried to stop, but the rince wouldn’t haveit. They played every- hing they knew, from “Sweet Marie’’ to “Marching Through Georgia.” They said they were tired and several were suffering from thoracic dustiness, and the Prince or- dered two kegs of beer. Capt. Johnson threw open the doors of his dining-room and the crowd filed in—men, women, boys and gir's all the way from the Lord Mayor down to the little strawberry- pickers. They had “‘tons of ice-cream,” and as sor cake—the restaurants sold out ina n ght, The prince sent for Liveryman Arderly, and confided to his care and keeping the blooded horse which had successfully whirled his highness into Salem and matri- mony. “That horse cost $2,000,"" he said, as he exe a $20 bill to the liveryman. “Guard im as ree would your life. Chain him to the stall.’’ “T haven't the right kind of chain for the purpose,’’ began Mr. Arderly. “Buy one,” said the prince, $5 bill to the $20. And the deed was done. “Bring in the band,” cried the prince. The band appeared. “Here's $20 for you. ene: and see us again.” They said they would. The squire’s dream had come true, really raining $20 bills. Not since William J. Bryan visited Salem, just after the Chicago convention, has the town passed such a restless night. It dis- cuss the newcomers with bated breath and wished the morning would hurry for- Mead to show what the prince would do Really, the first thing he did next morning was to saunter out in the early dawn and partake of a large, juicy cock- “et. At sunrise he called into an uptown bar all the available men of thirsty procliv- — and all took cocktails. Then he and the prin ad breakfast.

There were negro melodies and army songs, sentimental ballads, plano selections, banjo solos and an imitation of the calliope, Ice cream and cake were handed round by a colored boy, amid much merriment. This was rather a more select gathering than that of the previous night, but no less eventful, for the prince himself condescended to dance a solo, to the ac- companiment of Judd Green’s banjo, where- at the bride hid her face in her hands and laughed immoderately. Green dis the man who led the Bryan Glee Club at the 8t. Louis rally, and sang every night in Chi- cago during the last ten days of the cam- paign. The prince was asked to have some of the ice cream. He waved it majestically away. “No,” he said, “those are not my class of goods. I like to see other people enjoy it, but whatever I consume in the way of re- freshments must have a Httle sugar in it and water on the outside. Eat hearty;every- thing goes.’’ And it went. And so did the prince, who was entertaining a very differ- ent crowd a block distant up the street. Friday morning the groom again got out the horses and buggy. This time he took the bride shopping. Her first purchase was of dress goods amounting in price to $12.50. Out came the inevitable $20 bill and the happy pair refused to change. Later the groom appeared in another new suit of clothes, topped with a stovepipe hat, which he wore jauntily over his left ear. He went once more to the florists and emerged with three bouquets, one in each hand and one fastened in the lapel of his coat. He had paid $5 for these, and, lean- ing back in his carriage, with the big roses in full view, he rode up and down the prin. cipal streets—‘‘silent, solitary and alone.” eople on the corners snickered, and sev- eral there were with sufficient nerve to speak of “a fool and his money soon parted,’’ but they waited until he had passed by. 9 “T have eeen the shadow side of life to its fullest extent," said Mr. Berry to the Post-Dispatch correspondent. “Now, I want to see what the sunny side looks like.”’ Berry is a typical Westerner of the wan- dering, odd-jobs variety. He is over six feet tall, remarkably thin as to legs, with broad chest, ae hd | and sun-burn hands, and long, ungraceful arms. He walks with a stride that is a real foot-faH and stoops a trifie from the shoulders. He has small grey eyes, a blonde mustache, light hair— eS ther thin on top—and a face which in repose marks the daring, courageous wan- derer of the Southwestern prairies. Several persons in Salem profess to re- member him as a tramp nursery trimmer in 1894, but they are rather hazy on that oint. Berry says he was in Saliem about hat time and on that business, and that frequently he had asked for a ‘“hand-me- out” at the back-doors of the West.

It was a tough yon getting there—walking, riding and beg —but at last I walked into the old place and went directly to where I remembered we lived. I located the neighborhood very well, but it had been so changed I could find neo friend or acquaintance. At last I went into an old wine shop, ordered a drink and engaged the venerable proprietor in conversation. He said he had known the Berry family, especially Dr. Berry—my father was a physician—but they were all dead except a rich son, then living on Fifth avenue, and another son who had wan- dered away and lost all traces of himself. That son—which was me—had been adver- tised for in nearly all the big newspapers, but no information ever returned. I told him I was the boy. He recognized the family likeness, tore off his apron and went with me to my brother’s house. There we met an unexpected difficulty. A negro lackey demanded my card, I had none. We fussed over it until my brother came out to ascertain the cause of the trouble, and recognition followed. “To make a long story short, my share of the estate was passed over to me, and from dire dest | I became richinaday. That’s all, except I decided to come back West and get married, I had spent some time rail- roading along the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in the old days, but remained long- est, perhaps, around Mt.

I was then eng d trying to make both ends meet with a set of nursery tools, It was there I remembered there were pretty girls, so I put my horse in a car and came out again, met Miss Miller, she consented to a mar- riage, and you know the rést. The horse, by the way, is an old one and has a record on the race track. I won't tell you his name. I aall him Joe. “T expect to go away from here Saturday night and settle down in New York City. My wife and I will be a few days in Mt. Vernon, and then good-bye to the West.” Mr. Berry wears a small diamond ring, a diamond stud and collar-button. He wears twa beautiful gold watches, one in his vesr ocket and one in the watch pocket of his rousers. He was shy about placing an es- timate on his wealth, but he showed an ac- quaintance the deeds to considerable prop- erty in New_York. It is known he brought $15, to Mt. Vernon with him, but the bank- ers there say it is only a tithe of his pos- sessions. Estimates on his wealth range all the way from $100,000 to $1,000,000. It is related that as soon as Berry reached Mt. Vernon he made inquiries for a bartender named Henry Thompson, who had aided him at a time of dire necessity by advancing to Berry $2 with which ‘he was enabled to buy the tools to trim nur- sery trees, and thus help him along on his ‘igrimage. Thompson was found and erry offered to do the generous thing by him, but the bartender declined all the grateful proffers. This does sound eome- what like a fairy tale in these hard times, but visitors from Mt. Vernon to Salem de- clare it is true that Thompson would ac- we nothing. onsiderable interest has centered in the young woman to whom Berry is married. She ie small, well-built and has a very attractive face. Sadie Miller was reared in Mt. Vernon and her father is very poor. It is said he drove a sprinkling cart last summer and is now engaged in picking strawberries at 2 cents a quart. Mrs. Berry told the Post-Dispatch corre- epondent that her father was once a trap- eze performer with Barnum’s old circus. The young woman has conducted herself with modesty during all the Oriental dis- play made by her husband, and some of he best ladies of Salem have been at- tracted to her by her demure and almost childlike ways. She dresses quietly and in good taste, while her purchases have been in keeping with the range of her experience. But the princely groom has cut a swath wide enough for half a dozen. He has done everything in great style, but on being asked why he threw so much money in the air he put on a serious look and answered: “I’m not throwing as much money away as some people think. Besides, it’s my money, and its distribution in these small doses will do some good to a whole lot of peopie.’’ One of the local papers concludes a con- gratulatory editorial on the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Berry in the following unique sen- tence: ‘‘May they long live to enjoy themselves and to scatter seeds of kindness around them.”’ That isn’t a bad sentiment ether—for ; a RE Salem. . mM. ERS AE HEALTH RESTORED. = A Chronic Invalid Liberated From the Thraldom of Disease. The following letter, in the words of the author of it, tells a very important story: Mrs. T. V. Stewart, of Mount Calm, Ala., writes: “Two years ago I wrote to Dr. Hartman concerning my health, which had been wretched me a long while, and was growing worse rapidly. I could not eat; everything seemed to aggravate the heart, even a drink of water. I,of course, had medical treatment and tried a good thany patent medicines; all did no good. I was fearful that I would lose the use of my left arm; I had such pain from my hreast down the arm. I had cold sweats that would come onany time. Dr. Hartman prescribed Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin, and the first two or three doses of Pe-ru-na was a great benefit. I slept better that night and began to mend right away. I think I would have been in my grave but for Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. My friends all seemed surprised to see me looking so well. I advise all who are ailing to try Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin and have induced a great many, and they say it is a good medicine: but they cannot so fully realize how good it is, not having been so near death’s door as myself. ; Every woman who desires to have a copy of our new book, “Facts and Faces,” should order at once before they are all sent out.

But Many More Are Still Riding About Without the Little Tags on the Head-Post. The greatest volume of business done by the License Commissioner’s office in the past week has been the issuing of the dol- lar bicycle licenses which the Commission- er had announced had ali to be out by the first of June. Very nearly 10,000 of the little aluminum plates have been issued, but it is estimated that there are about ten or fifteen thousand wheels in the city which have not yet been tagged. ‘ These the Commftssioner will‘gét after in short order and then there will be sonfe un- pleasant little visits to Judge Peabody on the part of the delinquents after having al- lower sufficient days of grace within which the delinquents might come in and get their tags. -The Commissioner has decided to. go ahead and enforce the law as he is author- ized to do. Deputies with the proper badges and cre- dentials will be sent out to places where bi- cycles are likely to be in the greatest num- bers and there they wil look for untagged machines. Whenever one jis found which does not bear upon its headpost the little stamped certificates, the inspector will take down the name and address of the owner and the number and make of. the machine, serving upon the owner at the same time a formal notice to the effect that the time for getting out a license is past due, and he must observe the laws. If the owner fails to observe the notice pepmons will be sent to hig residence. notifying him to appear at the Police Court’*to answer for a misdemeanor under the laws: of the city. If by chance the owner was cunning and gave a false name and address the inspec- tor will thereafter keep his eyes out for the wheel of which he has the maker's name and factory number. When he gets hold of the smart owner again he will give him no chance to get away, but will call the nearest policeman and have the delin- quent taken to the police station so as to avoid further deceptions on his part. There is one question which has arisen which may cause the Commissioner and his inspectors, to say nothing of the riders, no little amount of worry, and that is the question of licensing wheels owned by per- sons living outside the city, and who come in on a wheel almost daily. The law as to bicycles in that regard is the same as the law regarding vehicles in eneral. Under the ordinance pleasure ve- icles owned outside the city are not taxa- ble, so that bicycles are Hkewlse exempt. City Counselor Marshall, when asked whether the bicycles belonging to subur- ban residents would be taxed said: “I do not care to pass on that question st n , ‘Well, does not the law say that all pleas- ure vehicles owned outside the city are ex- empt?’’ ‘Yes, I believe it does.” “And does not the same law apply to bi- cycles?” ‘Yes, I believe it does.” “Well, then, are not bicycles owned say in Webster or Kirkwood exempt?” “T suppose they are.’’ The Commissioner is afraid that all own- ers of unlicensed bicycles will say they live outside the city, thus making no end of trouble, but, on the other hand, any one, no matter where living, Is Iable to be monges by an inspector every day, so lon as there is no tag visible on the head pos of the machine. This will on each occasion cause more or leas delay and annoyance to the rider. but will be unavoldable under the present law. The easiest solution of the difficulty ia for the owner. if he ts going to ride con- stantly In the city, to get out a license just as if he lived within the limits. It will] pe worth a dollar to be saved the repeated an- noyance of being held up by inspectors every day or 80. Several enterprising bicycle firms have stuck up notices about the Commissioner's office announcing that they have patent thief proof methods of fastening on tags, which they will apply for the emall eum of 10 cents. Children under 12 years of age, owning and riding bicycles, need not feel alarmed over the license question, as they will not be taxed. The law especially states that children under 12 years of age are exempt. Branch Guards Bicyclers.

TO OUR READERS—The Sunday Post- ‘Dispatch to-day consists of THIRTY-FOUR PAGES, in four parts, Our readers should gee that they get the entire paper, m-_—- — PUNISH ELECTION CRIMINALS. It is to be hoped, for the sake of de- cent politics in St, Louis, that there will be no lack of vigor in the prosecution of the election judges who will come up for trial in Judge Murphy’s court next Wednesday. There seems to be abundant proof that these election officials were not only guilty of deliberate and premed- itated fraud, but that they inflicted out- rageous personal violence upon one of their number who refused to participate in the fraud. Such crimes must be severely punished if we are to have honest elections In 8t. Louis. Yet it is already evident that a strong effort will be made to shield these men from the consequences of their viola- tion of law. When the cases came up for trial on Thursday last there was a crowd of the “Push” around the Four Courts, drawn there partly by curiosity and partly ‘by a fear that if the law is vindicated they will find their occupa- tion gone. When the first case was called, Prose- cuting Attorney Mulvihill was absent from the court-room, although he had been trying a case there just previously and knew that the election case would be called almost immediately. He left Mr. Bass to attend to the docket, and Mr. Bass was obliged to admit that he did not know anything about the case and could not prosecute it. Under these circumstances, Judge Murphy very prop- erly postponed the case to Wednesday, June 9, and it is to be hoped that Mr. Mulvihill will be there on that day, pre- pared for a vigorous and effective prose- cution df the cases. If a few of the men, both Democrats and Republicans, who make it a practice to violate election laws, and even to boast of it afterwards, were sent to the penitentiary, it would go far to purify the rotten polities of St. Louis. The Post-Dispatch also suggests that the next Grand-jury investigate these cases and other similar ones. They can give their attention to nothing of greater importance, for honest elections lie at the very foundation of our governmental sys- tem, municipal, State and national. ——— >. bl MECORATION DAY OBSERVANCE. The fact is again brought to public notice that Decoration Day, since being made a national holiday, has become a day for amusement and not for memorial Observance. In New York last Monday only a few hundred people visited the cemeteries, while over 80,000 saw Howard Mann win the Brooklyn handicap, 24,000 @aw the game between the New York end Pittsburg teams, and thousands wit- Nessed a boat race on the Harlem River. Every year of late the posts of the Grand Army of the Republic have pro- tested against this growing tendency to convert a day sacred to the memory of patriot dead to one of carnival and mer- riment. In Minnesota, a few years ago, an effort was made to prohibit, by law, the people from engaging in games or sports on Decoration Day. But the law has been as ineffective as the protests to keep people from giving expression to what is their conception of a holiday and the uses to which such a day should be put. To the popular mind a holiday means a@ day of pleasure and not of sorrow. While the Post-Dispatch sympathizes with the feeling of veneration which ani- mates the veterans, and all the living relatives of the soldier dead, and admits the force of the view that the day should be consecrated to memories, it tannot but recognize the beneficent dispensation of nature which enables a people to forget their sorrows. Nor is it occasion for re. @ret that we have at last reached the time of forgetfulness of the horrors of civil war, and that a generation has come which, in leaving mourning behind it, leaves also the hates and prejudices which endanger public interest and dis- tort public counsel, POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. The movement in behalf of postal say- ings banks is not dying out. On the con. trary, an organized effort ts now being made to obtain the passage of a bill by Congress to establish such banks. As the People’s party, the labor unions and reformers generally are in favor of such banks and there is practically no oppo- sition. to them, it may be said that postal savings banks are demanded by a major- ity of the people, and the new movement ought therefore to make headway with- out much trouble, Congressman Page Morris of Minne- ‘gota is in charge of a bill to establish nn - postal savings banks. Those in charge of the movement request persons who favor such banks to begin a “postal card crusade,” calling the attention of the Congressman in their district to this bill and urging him to support it. The Post-Dispatch has from time to time published facts showing the desira- bility of postal savings banks. Mr, Wan- amaker, when he was Postmaster-Gen- eral, estimated that there were 12,000,000 | wage-earners in this country who would be glad to avail themselves of postal banks, and that their deposits would soon reach a total of $500,000,000. Such a system of banks would furnish the peo- ple absolute security. It would give the people a large “stake’’ in the Govern- ment. It would encourage savings in a ’ ’ | way that no private savings institution can. And especially it would bring a ' savings bank within the.reach of many thousands in country districts who have no such facility at present. It would kill the wild-cat bank, and to that extent would prevent much want and suffering among the people. ————oooooorr a “LEADING CITIZENS.” John M. Harlan of Chicago is a son of Justice Harlan of the United States Su- preme Court. He made a wonderful race as an independent Republican candidate for Mayor of Chicago last spring. He is a man with a future, because of the abil- ity, the honesty and the courage which he possesses. These qualities were shown in his Mayoralty race, when he smashed the Republican machine which had con- trolled Chicago for many years. They were shown even more strikingly in an address which he made in Central] Music Hall, Chicago, last Sunday, at a public meeting called to protest against the street car and gas consolidation bills, which were being bought through the Legislature at Springfield. Perhaps Mr, Harlan’s strongest point is his keenness to scent sham and hypoc- risy. And his Music Hall speech shows that his eye of scorn is sternly fixed upon that noisomest of all shams, the profes- sional “leading citizen.””’ He pointed out that Yerkes and other boodlers of his kind would be powerless to accomplish their predatory purposes were it not for the connivance and support of those business vultures who play the “role of leading citizens.’’ Here is & passage from Mr. Harlan’s speech: The “leading citizen,’ if he is allowed to lead this city, will lead it straight to per- dition. (Applause and cheers.) The typi- cal leading citizen ts a delusion and a snare, the typical leading citizen is an Anarchist at heart. (Applause.) The typ- ical leading citizen knows no law but the law of hie own will. (Applause.) The typ- ical leading citizen would deface and de- grade the law by doing under the form and protection of the law that which strikes a kill'ng blow at the very vitals of the community. Applause.) * * * The real Anarchists are to be found, gentlemen, with their downtown offices within the girdle of that iron loop that embraces the heart of the city; the real Anarchists, the men that are so hot in the pursuit of the almighty dollar that they would strike a blow at the very foundation of our institu- tions in order to add to their abundant fortunes. (Applause.) Couple with these scathing but plerc- ingly true words a passage from the Me- morial Day address delivered by ex-Con- gressman Ben Butterworth of Ohio, at Laurel Hill, Philadelphia, on May 29: The republic is in more danger to-day than when Fort Sumter was fired upon. There are influences that are making for ill. We have plenty of education, but edu- cation, unless leavened with morality, sim- ply fits the man to be an expert scoundrel. Our country is in danger because corrup- tion in our politics is as common as elec- tions, and corruption iB our municipal and State Legislatures is aS common as lunch- eon at noon, In almost every municipal and State Legislature there is an organized banditti that demands tribute and sells legislation. We know this to be so. We do not guess it. We all know it. You know it in Philadel- phia, and you know it in Pennsylvania, And it must stop, or it will stop the wheels of this republic. Who is it that is responsible for this corruption in our municipal and State Legislatures that Mr. Butterworth de- clares to be “as common as luncheon at noon?” Who but your “leading citizens,” who occupy the best pews in our fashion- able churches, who figure in the list of every “public-spirited organization” that raises money to spend ‘for the public benefit,” who serve on the boards of the big monetary institutions, and who oc- cupy front-rank places whenever there is a dress parade before the people? This is certain—there is no corruption without the corruptionist. No alderman, or legislator, or Congressman is bribed unless there is a briber. And when you hunt down the briber, you are pretty sure to find a sleek, well-dressed, well-fed, church-going citizen—in fact, your typ- ical professional “leading citizen.” He may not do the actual bribing himself, but he furnishes the money to do it with and he hires the agent to do the bribing. The real Anarchist, as Mr. Harlan says, the real danger to the Republic, as Mr. Butterworth puts it, is not the profes- sional Anarchist, the hoodlum, or the mis- erable corruptionist whom the moneyed influence puts in office in order that it may bribe him to serve it. It is your “leading citizen,” who clothes himself in purple and fine linen, who announces through the newspapers his charity and his alms-giving, and who claims to mo- nopolize all the “respectability” there is in the community, FUNERAL CARS. It is quite natural for the undertakers and liverymen to object to the funeral car, but some of Mr. Bohle’s objections will hardly stand scrutiny. Mr. Bohle appears to think that one of the chief objections to funeral cars operated by the street car companies is the inherent tendency of the motorman to curse the conductor or of the conductor to curse the motorman, directly anything goes a trifle wrong. Mr. Bohle has a poor opinion of St. Louls street car men. As a whole they are remarkably well be- haved, and there is no reason to suppose that they would be less orderly when in charge of funeral cars than when running ordinary passenger cars. ' | The notion that a temporary track from the house to the funeral ear would be necessary is absurd. Bearers of the dead have not yet gone out of fashion, and the cases'in which coffins could not. be borne on men’s shoulders to the funera} cars would be comparatively few. At the cemetery doubtless tracks would be laid on the main drives if funeral cars began to be generally used, and such cars could enter the cemetery without any banging of bells, and take the coffin apd funeral party close to the grave in as orderly a manner as a hearse and a dozen coaches can do. Two benefits would probably result from the use of funeral cars. Expenses of funerals would be cut down, and the habit of certain hearse and coach drivers of stopping at saloons on the way to and from the cemetery would be done away with. These two advantages would be sufficient to make it worth while giving funeral cars a trial. SO-CALLED SMALL PREACHERS. The other day, at a church convention in Saratoga, N. Y,, somebody brought up the question of the average pastor, his sacrifices, hig duties, and his multifarious burdens, Of course the convention could not ex- haust the subject. It is inexhaustible. When we depreciate the church and its power for righteousness we make the pic- ture of the high-salaried preacher who lectures on politics and isms so large in the foreground that there is really no background left to show the multitudes of small-salaried or no-salaried pastors who make the church a saving force in society. There are countless thousands of men in the ministry whose lives are continued sacrifices. Many of them could coin their muscle into day wages and make more than their congregations pay them. Many more could use their abilities and influential connections to put them in more remunerative places. Now and then one of them yields the struggle in despair. But the mass toil on, fighting the world, the flesh and the devil to the end. These men are called the “small” preachers. They are the great preachers in the sense that they do all the great work which the church is doing in the world. The Saratoga convention does well to consider them. The Globe-Democrat puts out Judge David J. Baker, Republican candidate for Supreme Court Judge in Illinois, as a partisan candidate whose election will make the Supreme Bench Republican in politics and insure the “punishment” of Altgeld and other Democrats. If Judge Baker’s election is to make the Supreme Bench a Republican partisan body then the State cannot hope for judicial relief from the Humphrey bill and other corpo- rate infamies of the Republican Legisla- ture which has just left Springfield. This is an issue which the people of Southern Illinois can meet only by the overwhelm- ing defeat of Judge Baker. _ —, = There is probably no foundation for the report that Mr. Hugh J. Brady is making an effort to become the successor of Mr. Thad. Harris as Election Commis- sioner. The appointment is one which is wholly within the control of the Gov- ernor, and Gov. Stephens is entirely too well acquainted with the condition of the Democratic party in St. Louis, and with the causes that have brought it about, to make such an appointment, If Mr. Brady is a candidate, he will have his trouble for his pains. : In order that he may wear a gaudy unl- form as Secretary of Legation at Madrid, the son of Gen.

Singerly has been proprietor of the Philadelphia Record for # years, and is receiving congratulations and good wishes from a multitude of friends. Lord Salisbury is the holder of five acres of land near Charing Cross, London, which his ancestors obtained 250 years ago for grazing lands at the moderate rate of ten shillings an acre for 500 years. It is now worth millions of pounds. Dr. Charles Frederick Wuillgons, the oldest physician in Ohio, still keeps up his practice, despite his 93 years. He says every member of his family, for the past 300 years, has lived over 100 years, and his grandfather, at the age of 106 years, cra- dled wheat for three days in succession. In a recent interview Prince Bismarck laughed about the sentimental reports of his loss of interest in life. “My depres- sion,” he said, “is solely my great age. Wait till you are 82 and see how you feel, My whole life has been spent in playing high with other people’s money. I could sail my ship on the stream of events, but not steer it." WOMEN OF NOTE.

During the last few weeks a German fac. tory that makes toy lead soldiers has re- ceived so many large orders for Turkish and Greek soldiers for next Christmas that it advertises in German papers its inability to accept further orders for delivery within this year. The makers of toy uniforms, games, pictures and similar toys are also running overtime manufacturing specialties illustrating the war. Even the textile in- dustries are preparing to reap a golden har- vest, and material of every imaginable de- scription in Oriental and Greek designs is being manufactured in great quantities. Paris has begun to lead the styles with Greek ideas embodied in military cos- tume, and all other countries will naturally follow the lead of the French capital. Reflections of a Bachelor.

In the pros gressive dinner party, the participants do not merely change their seats as in pro- gressive euchre, but having taken one course at one swell hotel, or restaurant, move to another for the next. This bril- liant idea was evolved from the combined gigantic intellects of a Fifth avenué couple with more money than brains. The con- somme and oysters were taken at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the fish at the Hotel Martin, the roasts at Delmonico, the salad else- where and so forth. After the first course the entertainers pretended that a sudden strike of the waiters necessitated finishing the dinner elsewhere, and a feeble attempt was made to explain the hegira from the second hotel. cessive place, covers had been laid and the tables decorated with costly flowers, In an- ticipation of the party, the guests finally tumbled to the fact that they were partici- pating in a novel entertainment, which threatens to become popular among such people. This is right in line with the love of garish and vulgar display affected by the millionaires of America, whose great aim is to make a show with their money, each trying to go his neighbor one better. Meanwhile the class who are glad to get a hand-out at the kitchen door, and eat it standing, increases numerically apace. Speaking of the vulgar display and osten- tatious luxury of the very rich, the recent attempt of the brainless cubs of Chicago millionaire parents to outdo the famous— or infamous—Seeley dinner recalls the treat- ment accorded the participants in the lat- ter by District Attorney Olcott. They were not prosecuted because, in his judgment, the publicity attending a prosecution would be inimical to public morals. As a matter of fact all the publicity which could at- tach to the disgusting episode was given at the time of the raid. And no such regard to public morals prevented the investigation of Capt. Chapman’s right to invade Sherry's resort. All the testimony was brought out at that investigation, including that of Lit- tle Egypt, and ft does not appear plain how public morals could be damaged any more than they already were. Rounders who are not millionaires, or the sons of millionaires, are not ina position to enjoy indecent revelry on the same luxurious scale as obtained at the Seeley affair, but they get there on a humbler scale, and, when they are caught, no squeamish regard for public morals acts as a bar to prosecution. No such squeamishness saved Oscar Wilde in London from trial and conviction. He was made to serve a term in prison, and the odium will not only cling to him for life, but his fate will be likely to have a deterring effect on others of his bestial kind. The preservation of public morals idea might have been consistent if urged to prevent the raid, or if the details had never been given out by the police, but it seems a little late now. As it was the Seeley dinner and the publicity given to the details resulted in a prompt imitation of it by a lot of Cincinnati sap heads, followed by the Chicago episode. If the young scamps who participated in the first of these orgies had been promptly prosecuted and convicted, the lesson might have been taken to heart by their would-be imitators, The fact of the Chicago episode following so closely the decision of District Attorney Olcott has a tendency to prove that public morals would have been subserved better by a conviction than by condoning the of- fense committed. Capt. Charles R. Keast of the Salvation Army wanted back the dollar he paid out for the marriage license he did not use. His marriage was postponed as a result of his being polsoned by ftvy. His lips swelled so that marriage was out of the question, The sympathies of all lovers of lovers will go out to the Captain in this the hour of his affliction. Not for the wasted simoleon —that is a trifle—but on account of thove enlarged and tender lips. Never was s0 untoward an accident to Hps at a season when labial exercises are most in order. Kisses constitute an indispensable accessory to a successful honeymoon, and Capt. Keast —by the way the name ftself smacks of ‘‘kissed’’—is right in postponing the happy day until such time as his lips are in con- dition for duty. Last week a man who was mortally hurt —possibly murdered—was taken to the Dis- pensary, his case pronounced as one of a common drunk, and he was hustled off to the City Hospital to be treated for alco- holism. There, of course, his true condl- tion was discovered. This is not the first case of the kind by a good many. A week or sO ago a man staggered into a police station suffering from an attack of heart disease. He was thrust into a cell as a drunk, and it was hours before it was dis- covered that he was ill, and not drunk. Some time before that a man picked up on the streets was locked up as a drunk and died in his cell before it was discovered that he had not been drunk at all, There is too great a tendency on the part of the police to believe every man a drunk who is unconscious, so long as there are no visible marks of violence on his person. But even if a man is so drunk as to be unconscious he should not be thrust into a cell. When complete unconsciousness follows copious draughts of liquor—when a man is said to be dead drunk—he is in a more or less dan- gerous condition and should receive medical treatment. Acute alcoholism is a frequent cause of death. More humanity should be exhibited toward these unfortunates. It is bad enough for the police to blunder in cases of unconsciousness from unknown causes, but it does seem inexcusable for a Dispensary physician to be so grossly mis- taken in a diagnosis. This carelessness, or the tendency to take it for granted that all cases of unconscious- ness are attributable to the cup which ine- briates is not confined to St. Louls. It throughout the country. Only last week became suddenly ill in a street car in that city. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital and a smart young doctor promptly diag- not suggest a possible error. He to the alcoholic ward. When he to consciousness his explanations, given without the incoherence and halting speech which folloW a debauch sufficien heavy to produce coma, had no effect. It never occurred to the physicians or attendants that possibly the diagnos:s had been made too hastily. He was treated like all the other drunks in the ward, and was forced to remain till next morning, when friends found him and took him away. Acute gas- tritis was all he was guilty of. If he con- templates having another attack he should ’ face. O’er his unremem G. D. ROBERTS, But finding that at each suc-. ently it} was not wanted. When a theory is altogether too general in the large cities | Rev. Thomas P. Hutchinson of New York | To, is liable to such attacks, so physicians in their diagnosis. Speaking of these official blunders in case of supposed drunks, suggests equally careless methods pursued in Coroner’s office. The man who posed to be drunk and who died at pital, was hurt by a fall from window. The indications all play. The circumstantial evidence, and hospital physiciane’ testimony pointed murder having been done. There than a probability that he had saulted and thrown from the window. same day a man was found at the bot of a quarry. Here again theré was circumstantial evidence of foul play. both cases the medical testimony was to the effect that the fall alone could not have produced the injurfes received. But this testimony was not even called for. Appar- rial t SPLEPSEEE is formulated in the Coroner’s office, facts seem to bé as much at a discount as when facts oppose a police theory, wherefore in both cases cts of acoldental , deaths were returned. These cases, taken with the apathy of the St. Louis County officials in regard to the murder of an unknown tramp south of the city limits last week, would argue that human life is getting to be a very cheap commodity in thig neck of the woods. Two news items of the week read as though the era of the new woman was not coming but already come—the era when woman is the bread-winner and protector, and man the dependent. The signs of the times have shown this trend for some time. There was Mrs. Price King of Labette County, Kansas, who two years ago di- vorced her husband. Thus, shorn of visible means of support, the Poor-house was the only refuge for the deserted and dependent husband. There he went, and there he staid until last week, when his ex-wife, tak- ing pity on his forlorn condition, took him out and re-married him. Mr. King will again have a good living provided for him, and if he knows what is good for him, he/ of will so behave as to enjoy his wife’s sup- port in the future. The other case in point was a weddiag near Danville, Va. While the ceremony was being performed a kerosene lamp blazed up and was about to explode. Did the bride faint, or scream, or run from the danger, after the manner of the nervous young woman of a past generation? Not much. The bridegroom hid under a table in a state of mortal fear. The bride seized the lamp and hurled it through a window. Then the quaking groom came forth from his hid- ing place and the ceremony proceeded. But that young man had better walk a chalk line in his married career, since the bride proved herself the better man in the very inception of it. A scientist has invented a machine by which any man can test his own gray mat- ter and discover whether or not he is in- sane. When Teufelsdrock set his imagina- tion to work, and unclothed, M his mind, the great personages at a court function, including royalty itself, and pictured them as nature made them, he decided, after much thought, to publish his reflections, “for the solace of those afflicted with the like.” Whereupon the editor of his paper rises to remark, “would to heaven thou hadst thought best’ to suppress it.” So may it be said of the inventor of the brain- testing machine. Most of us are gatisfied if we can keep our incipient insanity con- cealed from our neighbors. All of us are said to be more or less insane, and if the machine indicates the slightest deviation from the normal, the nervous and morbid among us will go the rest of the way to craziness in brooding over it, even as the London physivian recently thought he was going to have lockjaw as the result of a superficial injury unth he contracted all the symptoms of it and died. It would be interesting also to know on what basis the inventor fixes the normal line of sanity, a deviation from which indicates insanity. If on his own mentality, we have no evidence that he is sane. Indeed the very fact of his inventing such a machine affords prima facie evidence that he himself has wheels. Another point for speculation is if a man testing the instrument is already insane, how is he to know that his diseased wit reads the index aright? So many spec- ulations of this sort may be indulged as to upset the compos mentis in the bare consideration of them. The Countess Chimay and her Hungarian lover have been mightily abused for parad- ing their shame on the stage. But the most outre case of this sort comes from Cali- fornia. It will be remembered that Miss Lillian Ashley sued ‘“‘Lucky” Baldwin for breach of promise. Among the possessions of Miss Ashley was a baby, the putative father of which was the morally off- color millionaire. The trial achieved ad- ditional interest because of the attempt made by Miss Ashley's sister in open court to slay the alleged destroyer of the fam- ily honor. And now the sister arranges a “benefit” for Lillian. Part of the fin-de- siecle performance consisted of living pic- tures, in which the baby in question took part. The caption of the first was: “I love you, Lilllan! Oh, how I love you,” and represented Millionaire E. J. Baldwin in the act of wooing his present nemesis. He was on his knees before her, ardently kissing her hand, while she was struggling to overcome her coyness. Emma Ashley im- personated her sister. In the next Bald- win was haughtily waving them off, while Lillian and Baby Beatrice Anita Baldwin were imploring him for a share of the mil- lions. The third picture was prophetio— “She shall inherit my millions,” and re- versed the form of the other, so to speak. In this Lillian and Baby Beatrice Anita, etc., in fine attire, supposedly in possession of the millions, were haughbtily waving off Baldwin, who was shown with nice new muslin patches on his customary broad- cloth, indicative of extreme poverty. In sending the story of the Urbana (0.) contrive to have it in the privacy ef his tragedy, an able correspondent, after detall- ing the shooting of several members of the mob, followed by the lynching of the ne Charles Mitchell, naively refers to the Urbanans as “the people of thie intelll- gent and order-loving city.” Doubtless on ordinary occasions Urbana is an orderly nosed his case as one of alcoholism.

5 eee , A BITING LECTURE ON ' CONSERVATISM. LOCAL CAPITAL TOO SLOW. SUPER- Saturday’s Auction Sales Were Suc- cessful—General News About Real Estate Matters. The situation in real estate circles has been rather quiet throughout the week and with the exception of a few deals, nothing of importance has been done. This is something of @ surprise to the agents, for they had expected an unusually busy week owing to the brightness of the weather. On this subject a well-posted agent in con- versation with a@ Post-Dispatch representa- tive said: “J am unable to understand the depend- ence the average real estate agent places in the weather outlook. As soon as the weather man tells through the newspapers that there will be rain wsanerrew’ the weather-scared agent to al] intents and pur- poses shuts up his shop and goes home until the scare has passed over. Such meth- ods are In vogue nowhere but in St. Louis. It is a tad@it admission either that St. Louis property is unattractive except under most favorable conditions or that the buyers of real estate are a very tender jot. I do not believe that either is the case and acting under my impression I push business as hard in rainy as in good weather. More than that, I make sales in rainy weather. I believe in advertising and hustiing in bad el gi te as o good weather, and my aaa ©s8 Snows at m Olicy igs as good as any other. 7 peacy & 8 ‘In regard to the outlook for business, I see the brightest kind of a future ahead. One great feature about the real estate business in th’s city is the recognized standing of our property in other cities— in the cities where the capitalists most do congregate. There has never been a first- class St. Lou's building or investment en- terprise that has not been eagerly sup- ported by out-of-town investors. I blush to acknowledge it, but it is, nevertheless, true that most of our big buildings have been put up with money obtained from out- side sources; and if the local men of money do not soon wake up from their lethargy, they will find all the ‘good things’ snapped up by the men of judgment jn other c'ties. “We have a strange lot of conservatives here, anyway. There is not a day but that s0me ppudmoter with a good scheme, one that is honest, offers it to local capital; yet they are sent away, after being told that the man of money prefers to wait until some one else has gone in, “They are like she*p in that “e 4 will go helter-skelter into a thing that has been recognized by a certain coterie of leaders. As soon as these leaders indicate their con- fidence, the others outdo themselves to get in. And there’s where they are frequently betrayed, as is instanced by several things mee! have been exposed by the newspapers ately. “The so-called ‘leaders’ are taken into a fake scheme on th> ground floor in exchange or their indorsement. Then the suckers all into a trap and a little later on they are left to hold the bag. If you doubt this look at the daily papers for the last four weeks. ‘All that is needed here is for the moneyed men to get out of their beaten tracks and open the-r ey-s to the "yee negate that are directly before them. ere in our suburbs there are great tracts of undeveloped prop- erty, in every way suitable for residence purposes. This property will sell readily and at profitable figures 1f it is put in sal- able condition at a comparatively small cost. ‘In the down-town districts, too, there are numbers of valuable corners that should be improved. There is still a demand for office buildings, desp te all that the croak- ers may say to the contrary. The town has still too many old ram-shackle affairs that are called “office buildings’ by courtesy only. There is also a crying de- mand for more commercial structures. A few years ago the calamity howlers said that the Cupples district improvement scheme was bound to be a failure. All of the buildings then built are occupied at paying figures, and other buildings: have gince been put up for tenants previously secured. There is a mint of money for somebody in the district that was cleansed last week of the improper characters that infester it. Th's district should be built up with fine commercial houses at once, The great shipp ng advantages down that way would have them occupted in six weeks after completion. However that, I resume, w'll have to wait for some shrewd tastern man to see its advantages, and he St. Louis capitalists will then wonder hy they didn’t see it.” SIMON & GREGORY BUILDING. Leased for Five Years by the Rosen- thal Millinery Co. The Rutledge & Kilpatrick Realty Com- pany: closed a lease on another big Wash- ington avenue building last week.

P | etesceeeeeeres Red Fird, Moa ames, Mo | EFFORTS TO SAYE ELECTION JUDGES. THE “PUSH” HOVERS ABOUT THE FOUR COURTS. TOM MULVIHILL’S POSITION. Prosecuting Attorney Denies Certain Rumors and Says He Will Per- sonally Try the Case. teed Those belonging to the sub-strata of the political] world—commonly known as “the push”’’—have been as thick as flies in July the latter part of the week in and around the Court of Criminal Correction . Ed Butler has said to those who asked him his reason for visiting the Four Courts that trouble with the horseshoers led to his appearance in the buildings and others who travel in his class have given excuses as weak and as far-fetched. The fact of the matter is the “push” is much excited over the cases of the four election judges and one clerk that are on Judge Murphy's docket and are doing their utmost to prevent a successful prosecution and above all a conviction. They are meeting with poor success evi- dently, and are much worried, but between now and Wednesday, when the cases will come up for triai, they will use every effort ag their power to defeat the ends of jus- ce. Rumor has it that Prescutin Attorney Tom Mulvihill w.ll allow one of his assist- ants to try the cases on June 9. In support of th's it is stated that when the cases were called on the docket Thursday Mr. Mulyi- hill suddenly found that he had business elsewhere and left. Mr. Bass to care for the docket, From an tnterview had by a reporter for the Post-D-_spatch yesterday it igs evident the ‘‘push’’ have no favors to expect from Mr. Mulvihill, but much to fear. ‘IT shall handle the cases personally,” he ga'd. “As I understand it the evidence is direct, and to the point, and I think there is no doubt but convictions wiil be secured. No, the trials will not be conducted by any of my assistants. ‘*The first of the week I shall confer with Chairman Jones and Secretary Saunders of the Board of Election Commissioners’ Office, and shall go carefully over the evi- dence with them. “Yes, I have heard it said that I avoided the cases Thursday. Such, however, is not a fact. The records w.l) show the cases were continued on the Judge’s own motion. The docket was congested on that day, and there was no time for an extended trial. I knew the cases were to be continued when I left the court room, and as the State merely needed a representative present to acquiesce in the continuance, Mr. Bass could do that as well as I.’’ ‘You have seen the ward heelers around him, have you not?’ “*Yes,”’ said Mr. Mulvihill. “They were out {n numbers Thursday and I expect om will hang around next week. But I tell you positively not one has spoken to me on the subject, and it would be waste of worde for any one to do so. I shall prose- cute those cases to the end and to the best of my ability.”’ Lawyers agree that no more flagrant vio- lation of the election laws ever came be- fore the courts in St. Lou's than that in- volved 'n these cases. Not only were the laws violated, but there was an utter dis- regard for all rules laid down for the con- duct of judges and clerks at polling places, by the statutes of the State. . The men who will be tried for this grave offense are:. C. William Mueller, Republi- can, 2226 Biddle street; James Moran, Democrat, 2401 Biddle street; C. H. Schok- miller, Republican, 2228 Biddle street; Thos. F... Carey, Democrat, 1114 North Jefferson avenue, and Thomas F, Dunn, Democrat, 2320 O’Fallon street. Dunn was a clerk and the four otliers were judges at the Ninth Precinct, Four- teenth Ward, at the election for members of the School Board held on Tuesday, May 18. The other’clerk at the polling place was Edward R. Johnson, a Republican, and his testimony will be used in addition to the documentary evidence in possession of the Election Commissioners. Johnson’s story as related to the Elec- tion Commissioners and published exclui- sively in the Post-Dispatch at the time the arrests were made was to this effect: Early on the morning of ‘election day the poll books were signed by all the judges and clerks and other documents which would have to be turned in after the ballot boxes were closed were treated likewise. This—an action in direct violation of the law —Wwas done to save time, so one or two of the judges said. After the polls closed and the count of the ballots began Johnson became convinced that irregularities were being perpetrated, and he remonstrated, ut to no avail. As the count proceed:d he saw that two of the judges were doctoring the returns to suit themselves, paying little or no heed to the ballots that were being counted but placing numbers at random op- posite candidates’ names. Johnson finally leaned over, seized a pen and scratched his name from the poll] book. For this he was cursed and finally knocked down. He does not know who hit him the first blow, but believes everybody in the room took a whack at him. When he finally made his escape his eyes were blacked and he was a subject for the surgeon. ‘ The day following, Wednesday, May 19, he appeared before the Election Comm:s- sioners and related what had occurred. The poll books from Precinct 9, Ward 14, were examined and every evidence of fraud was found. In spite of the fact that but ninety-seven ballots were cast the check numbers opposite the candidates called for over 600 votes and besides the discrepancy in the totals awarded each candidate were so glaring that one could not help but see there had been juggling With the figures. The Election Commissioners were anxious | to at once place the facts before the Grand- jury, but that body not being in session, they recited the facts to Assistant Prose- cuting Attorney Johnson, who made the in- formations, and caused warrants to issue. by many about town that Sedew Bot will be influenced in the way of being merec.ful toward the defendante, because he will be up for re-eiection soon, ard the same js said concerning Mr. Mulvi- hill. But friends of Bote the ae ane the Cc Attorney rid-cule the a. * Coe this Mr. Mulvihill said yester- day: “ le for politics to enter into the nro the first place the viola- tion of law was 80 flagrant that no respect- able politician will appear in the att tude of befriending the men to the extent of escape from punishment, f the men are Democrats 80 no one can charge ushin I ‘ery glad su ape PD ame when the cases t last up for trial it will be found the irommanieua ait defective. a “Ag for that.” said Mr. Mulvihill, “should they prove defective, I would at once file MeNchard Johnson, Who drew up the in- formations, says they were prepared with great care, and he has no doubt but they will hold. “There is no chance for a miscarriage in these cases,”’ he said. “I never knew of better evidence.’’ THE FUND GROWING.

The class day of the Edgar School was celebrated Friday, June 4, the graduates being Miss Sarah Wilson, Miss Alice Clarke of this city and Miss Marjorie Sell of La Crosse, Wis. After the exercises the gradu- ates were given luncheon by the juniors. Misses. Alice Sutton, Celeste Albert, Mary Stuyvesant and Grace Woodward acted as waitregses, wearing little white aprons and en he commencement exercises will be held Tuesday evening Joaquin Miller Genevieve Fletcher Hosmer Hall Alumnae Banquet. The annual banquet of the Hosmer Hall Alumnae Association wag held in the par- lors of Hosmer Hall, 429 Washington ave- nue Friday afternoon. After an address of welcome by the principal Miss Mathews, Miss Flora Forbes, the toast mistress, gave the toast, ‘“Brothers-in-Law, Real and Prospective,"" to which Mrs. D. 8. Booth, wife of Dr. Both, formerly Miss Basmath West, responded in a brilliant and witty manner. Then followed toasts by Miss Lucy Whitelaw, one of the sweetest of this rear’s graduates; Miss Bess Snyder who as lately returned from Wellesley: Mss Gilbert, Miss Jefferson, Miss Madge Rhodes, M'ss Katherine Siddy, Miss Mariam Gibson. Betwein the toasts there were several mus!- cal selections rendered in a charming man- ner by Misses Liela and Gertrude Rock- wood and a vocal solo. After the banquet a business meeting was held for the election of those officers whose term of office had expired. Mrs. Booth was eleoted Vice- President; Miss Margaret Whitelaw, Treas- ures, and Miss MSBess Snyder, Secretary. Another course of lectures, similar to those iven under the ausp‘ces of the association ast year, will be given at the school next fall and winter. An interesting fact is that as each young latiy member of the Associa- tion marries, her husband is formally adopted as “a brother-‘n-law.” Inspecting the Home DAYTON, O., June 5.—Gen, W.

CARE OF INSANE . PAUPERS. St. Louis Woman Claims That They Are Not Properly Cared For in Missouri. The new State Board of Charities and Corrections, created by the last Legislature and appointments to which were made by Governor Stephens, under an emergency clause of the act, so that reports could be made available at once, has about concluded its work of inspection, of the various insti- tutions within its scope. . They comprise every charitable and corrective institution in the State, county, city and township— that ts In any way helped from the State, city or county revenues. The board consists of six members. The State is divided into three districts, West- ern, Eastern and Southeastern. Gov Stephens appointed men to fill the places of the Northwestern and Southeastern dis- tricts, but for the Southwestern and the Northeastern districts two ladies were ap- pointed. One {is Miss Mary Perry, a sister-in-law of ex-Secretary Francis of the Interior De- partment at Washington, and the other Mrs. F. H. Ingalls of Westminster place, wife of a well-known St. Louls business man, and President of the local W. C. T. U. The two ladies had little time to work together and they divided their responsi- bilities. They hunted through the Ozark region somewhat together, but when they neared St. Louis they divided their forces. Mrs. Ingalis took the Poor Farm, the Work-house and the Woman's Hospital. Miss Perry took the City Jail, the Clayton Jail, che St. Ann’s Asylum and 60 on, The ladies are not through yet. On Sat- urday Miss Perry visited the Mayor, and a rumor got out that she had someth.ng dreadful to say about the conduct of the City Jail, but her sister commissioner, Mrs. Ingalle, laughed at that idea. “ ‘‘Miss Perry is a delightful woman,” she said, “but I doubt from my knowledge of her, that she is ready to make a vigorous report on anything, She has no idea of that kind in her head. Miss Perry is very con- servative. She sees things in her way, and nobody is likely to find out what she thinks in advance, “No, I do not know Miss Perry intimately, We are simply associated on the board. was with her but a short while. Under our agreement, she did one set of institutions, I did another. “You understand our officlal reports must be made to the Governor, and so they will be, but I can’t help saying one or two things in advance. You can’t keep a woman quiet ir the face of wrong. Oh, dear no; I’m not critic!sing officials or anybody, but sys- tems must be changed in this State with reference to pauper charity. Miss Perry and I saw enough in the County Poor Houses, the pauper insane wards and among the country peomse in charge of such unfortunates, to call for prompt legislative action. “Why, it is shameful. We found in some of the counties that the Sheriffs in charge of the insane poor have hardly a concep- tion of what the word ‘insane’ means. They huddle the paupers—idle, indolent, vicious, insane—together and the result you may imagine. Actually one Sher .ff sa'd to us of a wretched, insane woman at a poor farm: “‘T hardly know what to make of this patient. She haz had three children since she has been here and I can’t make her understand that this is no place to have children,’ don't you send her husband elsewhere?’ we both said. R aa you, dear Madame, she has no hus- and.”’ Mrs. Ingalls, who had been excited, blushed a little when eghe said this, but her anger rose again, and she added: “That is an evil that the Missouri author- ities must take hold of. It prepared us for the sight of weak and pauper children we saw—all charges on the State. Poor little waifs! Don't understand that poor-house children all come in the category I name. Far from it. But they are the offspring of the helpless, the {mbecile, the worthless, who being already in charge of society, have no right to put additional burdens on socie- ty. “The remedy? It ts staple, Do not per- mit paupers in charge of the county or State to associate as to sexes, Married paupers should be sent apart as far as the confines of the State. It does not become me to remind the authorities of their duties concern’ng the others. If they do not know it already, nothing that we could say would enlighten them, “The feeble-minded children, born tn these institutions, or of parents ready or willing to enter them, are a pitiable sight. We saw enough to make the heart bleed. My own experience right here in St. Louls, at the Poor Farm, Insane Ward and Woman's Hospital, is eneuge to inspire the heart. It was simply awful. “I won't give an idea even of my report. We have no reports anyhow, except as we ive a report of our Individual observations. hese must be given to the Governor, who greece at our meeting, which is to be held onday at Jefferson City. “I know what I, as an individual member of the board, feel I ought to urge. The poupet insane should be cared for by the tate. The counties are too r to care for them. I regret to say half the jailers and poorhouse overseers are too ignorant to be charged with care of the insane. They are coarse, indifferent and careless. I do not know of a human weakness that calls for more intelligent and discrim- inating judgment and ayspethy on the more of others than menta ee he State should care for the afflicted by tax- ation on all, and the custody of these un- fortunates should be in the hands of per- sons scientifically trained for the purpose. ‘Wisconsin got rid of ita wrete pauper insane system some years ago, Why shold not Missouri? We are richer than Wiscon- sin a thousand times over, and an older State by BW years. “I think my report when made will con- tain a few suggestions that some politicians will think worth consideration.” CUBA A HOODOO.

Freder'ck Lammers, 4540 Pennsylvania av- enue, decided that his daughter Mamie, aged 13, should be placed in the House of the Good Shepherd. This was because Mamie said she loved Joe Nester, a hucketer, and met him clan- Gestinely several times. All the arrangements were perfected for Mamie's journey to the retreat where Joe could not enter, when the young huckster appeared on the scene. In some manner his little sweetheart had sent h'm word of the impending separation. He demanded of Mr. Lammers what wae oing to be done with the girl and when e@ was treated coldly he struck out with is fist.

Firemen’s spectacles or eye-protectors are formed with domed discs of wire gauze fitted in a holder and held in place by a rubber strap around the head. A newly-designed nickel-in-the-slot ma- chine for street cars and railway stations stamps the date and time of purchase on @ ticket or exchange before delivery. An automatic pipe coupling recently pat- ented is formed of a_ grooved section mounted on each end of the hose to slide over each other until the openings are op- posite, when two spring clamps lock them in place, Air is injected into bread dough during the process of mixing in a new machine so that the dough will rise by the expan- sion of the air when heated, thus doing away with the use of yeast in raising the bread. To prevent jar and concussion to a horse by his feet striking the hard pavements, a tapered pad of rubber projects through a hole in the shoe to deaden the force of the blow of the shoe as the horse sets his feet down. To keep a plano player’s wrists in a proper position and prevent their dropping down below the line of the keyboard a bracket is placed at each end of the plano to support a rod running across in front of the keys. To prevent all unfairness in the starting of bicycle racers a new invention is made of an inclined plane for each wheel to rest on, the back wheels being held fast by a series of bolts, which are withdrawn simultaneously by the starter. An orchard ladder recently patented is fitted with a pair of wheels at the ends of the supports and two handles project from the sides of the ladder in front so it can easily be wheeled around for trimming the trees or picking apples. In a new electric advertising device a series of glass tubes are bent to form letters with a wire running through them to be illuminated by the current of elec- tricity, the whole sign being inclosed in a glass bulb to exclude the air. To prevent the clogging of wicks in round burners a new wick raiser is formed of an upright spiral set in the side of the burner to turn a pair of toothed spindles on opposite sides of the wick, thus raising both sides simultaneously. Shoe strings are safely tied without the use of knots by means of a new device which fastens to the shoe upper near the top eyelets, being formed of a disc or plate, with a curved clip projecting from the side into which the string is forced. To assist in holding tools on a revolvin stone for grinding a new device is forme of a grooved block set in a frame and clamped by thumb-screws so it can be tilted to any desired angle, thus holding the tool in one position and giving it an even edge. Mops and brushes for scrubbing purposes are made to last twice as long by means of a new device which consist of a clamp- ing frame which holds a bunch of fibres by their center, leaving the ends free for use by turning the brush over in its handle. Door mats are being made with recess or opening in the center of the woven fiber to receive a scraper, which is hinged to one side of the opening to be raised into position when wanted for use and dropped down even with the mat when not wanted. In a new crutch for invalids the wooden head is hollowed out and fitted with a pneumatic cushion having an _ inflating valve in the under side, with a coverin of leather to inclose both the head an cushion and a hollow cushion at the bot- tom of the crutch. A simple advertising device zont patented consists in placing a printed circular inside the spools on which machine thread is wound, a piece of paper being placed over each end to hold it in place until it is forced out by placing the spool on the spindle of the sewing machine. A new idea in road maps for cyclers and drivers consists in printing the outline of a road on a long strip of paper, which is wound on two drums in front of the rider, and may be operated by a thumb wheel on one of the drums to show the route as the driver passes. Barbers will appreciate a new combi- nation omgnes for their use, which consists of a pair of shears with a comb clamped to one of the blades in the proper position to raise the hair in position to be cut, thus do- ing away with the necessity of holding a separate comb in the hand. In a new blackboard eraser the felt pad forming the face is perforated and fitted with grooves opening into the hollow back of the eraser to catch the dust instead of allowing it to scatter around the room, an aperture being made in the back to re- ot Na the dust when the eraser becomes ull, An automatic lighter for kerosene 'amps has a revolving drum, on which is wound a narrow strip of paper, to which are glued fulminate caps at short intervals, a fric- tion disc being attached to the burner to igarte the fulminate and light the lamp as the roll of paper is pulled along. To carry an extra person on a bicycle a Michigan man has invented a device con- sisting of a seat attached to a bar project- ing from the center brace out in front of the head, the seat being placed a little to one side, and a dress guard and foot-rest extending down near the ground on the other side. A handy hitching weight is made of a cast fron body, in which a spring drum is mounted to wind and unwind the hitching strap, a bale being attached to the weight to lift it, the advantage being that the strap is not loose in the wagon to catch a person’s feet nor slack when in use to en- tangle the horse. In a new incandescent vapor lamp the oll is first raised to heated tubes to be changed into gas by air pressure, the tubes being heated by the flames of the lamp and the gas expanding to force the oil into the tubes in place of the air; the flame is sur- rounded by a or mantle to give a white light. A new water bicycle is composed of two air-tight tubes with pointed ends fastened together by cross braces, on which is set a shaft supporting a broad paddle-wheel turned by a chain paren | from the pedal shaft, a drum casing partially surrounding the paddles to prevent the rider from get- ung wet. 0 give an alarm when a hat or coat is removed from a hook by any one but the owner a new hanger i# hinged to a wall bracket, and contains a spring to force it upward and close an electric circuit and ring a bell as soon as the garment is re- moved, the owner only being able to prevent the alarm. To give warning to a cycler or driver when he is riding beyond a certain speed e bell is attached to one of the wheels, wit & spring arm inside, which forces itself out. ward as the speed of the wheel increases until it strikes the bell and gives the alarm, the spring arm being set for any speed de- sired by turning a screw. To assist the nurse in wheeling the baby without the exertion of walking, a spring loop is clamped on the tire of the wheel. to be depressed when the carriage is pushed out by the nurse until the widest part of the spring rolls between the wheel and the ground, when the spring expands-and drives the carriage back again. In a newly-patented tube is mounted toy for children @ at an angle in with the under side of the lower ad at away, and a spring lever lying in posi- tion to hold a firecracker in the tube. the lever being puled back and held in place by clamping the fuse of the cracker so that it will release itself when the fuse is almost burned out, the lever throwing it in the ajr in time to explode it there.

RB yy © close the v are e for the 10.000 A DAY POR STRAWBERRIES THAT IS WHAT ST. LOUIS PAID OUT LAST WEEK. A BAD SEASON FOR FRUITS. The Cool Weather Knocked the De- mand for Foreign Fruits Into a Cocked Hat. Last week disclosed the finest display of home-grown strawberries in the history of the trade and possibly the largest crop yet raised. Two of the best posted opera- tors on the etreet figured out yesterday the receipts for each day of the week, including the farmers’ sales on the street and in the various markets, and also what is left w‘th the stores and commission houses. A close conservative estimate made the figures 18,- 000 drawers each day, or 9,000 cases, equal- ing eighteen cars at 500 cases to the car. Several individual firms had ag many as 2,000 drawers on certain days. The prices during the week| averaged from 80 to 60 cents a drawer, or in shipping order, $1.10 to $1.30 per case of twenty-four quarts, in- cluding the cost of the cases. At an average for the week of 55 cents without the cases the money paid the farm- ers was $9,900 daily. This estimate does not include what farmers took direct to private families, friends and customers. Over $10,- 000 a day was paid for berries. The strawberry traffic overshadows all others now in the fruit and produce quar- ters. The luscious berry is so abundant and cheap that the dealers throughout the city are running on them largely to the neglect and exclusion of nearly all other compet- ing fruits. The situation will remain un- changed this week, and after that more at- tention will be g.ven to other products. The petncipal buyers all week were the canning aciories and car lot shippers. The ship- ments averaged six and eight cars daliy, or nearly half the receipts. he canners came next as consumers. There were no attrac- pre pee markets. The crop was uni- sal, The tomato market was surprisingly ac- tive all week and the receipts were for sale at good prices. Two cars recived Friday, 1,600 crates, from Crystal Springs, Miss., sold within a few hours after arrival at $1.50 a crate, over $3 a bushel. Another car from the same place Friday evening brought nearly as much and yesterday the market was almost bare again. The rapid sale at the figures mentioned surprised the trade. Big receipts are announced for Monday. Watermelons have met with a chilly re- ception here so far—a protracted cool spell that spoils the appetite for them—although the first car received last Monday from Florida brought a big price. Another car equally fine is due to-morrow. A monkey-faced ow! is the latest attrac- tion among the Third street commission houses and a large crowd can be found any hour, gazing at the big silent bird in front of the store where it is boxed. Not for years have local speculators and shippers found it so difficult to find outside markets for strawberries, gooseberries and green peas. The local crops of each are enormous, but distributing them as suc- cessfully as heretofore is out of the ques- tion. od weather and favorable condi- tions generally conspired to make these crops universal this season, and there are no good markets accessible. Pineapples are in the greatest abundance and very cheap, $7 to $10 per 100 being the figures for the bulk of the offerings. Flor- ida was never so well represented, a num- ber of cars having been already received from__—itthere. Cuba stock (via New York) is also in evidence, several shipments having come in during the week. The Cu- bans cannot get much out of their “pines” at this rate. The dealers.in foreign fruits are disgusted with the situation and prospects. The weather remains steadily so cool that the prices of lemons are not even asked for by visitors, while the orange trade is dead and season practically over. They are ex- periencing a period of rest or seclusion or oblivion they do not relisn, and any change they assert could not render the situation any worse. The market is so flooded with strawberries and othe?r small fruits which occupy the attention of dealers that little relief is looked for before the latter part of this month or Fourth of July. The market is fairly deluged with cucum- bers, carload after carload came in from Louisiana and adjacent States until the rices ruling almost reached the level of reight charges. Some truckers down in Texas, who have been shipping by express, will be surprised at the returns they will re- ceive. Several such lots have been offered ante for the express charges in the last few ays. pearing up the street by the conduit peo- le in the produce district at the very usiest time of the year has worked a great hardship on many of the operators on the street. A hole that would make a fair sized cellar in addition to the ditch for the pipes was dug out in front of Jno. He- gel’s place. Henry Goebel, the mildest- mannered man in the trade, who 1s rarely heard above a whisper, is up in arms against these people. He declares that he has consulted very eminent legal authority and has good ground for a damage suit. Hundreds of farmers were unable to ap- roach a dozen of these firms and were orced elsewhere, where their trade and atronage may stick. It certainly struck he fruit and produce men at the wrong time. MERCHANTS’ OUTING. Great Sport Brewing for the Annual Exchange Excursion. A meeting of the committee in charge of the arrrangements for the Merchants’ Ex- change excursion met in the directors’ room Saturday and adopted a programme, which will make this one of the most en- joyable affairs of the season. A circus has been engaged to give a con- tinuous performance on the grounds, and first-class meals will be served both on the boats and on the grounds. A splendid musical programme has been arranged, and the affair will conclude with a series of raffles, the proceeds of which will be donated to the. ‘‘Fresh Air Fund.” The first in the series will be the raffle of a fine trick donkey. Photographs of the donkey and his trainer, ‘‘Billy’’ Heickman, will be for sale on the boat. The next in order will be the raffle of a handsome bachelor of ample means, and finally a well-preserved widower with a snug fortune will be raffled off. Only eligi- ble Tadies under 70 years of age will be al- lowed to purchase tickets in the last two raffles. Although a large number of invitiations have been issued, the excursion will be a very select affair, and no one will be ad- mitted to the boats without a ticket. The committee has decided to omit the fireworks feature, as one of the boats wif return early, and its occupants would be compelled to miss that part of the enter- tainment. The arrangements are being made by a4 committee, of which Alex H. Smith is Chairman and Jos. W. Steele is Secretary. Seriously Cut on the Head.

The Indications Are That There Will Be a Demand for No. 2 Thé speculative pusiness in the grain market last wéek was far from satisfac- tory, both ag regards prices and volume. For the first few days there was 4 steady decline, but later there was a slight reac- tion, which, while it was not maintained, seemed to cause a growing disinclination to sell short at the present prices. On Friday, however, there was another slump which was repeated on Saturday owing to the fact that English markets were closed for the Whitsuntide holidays, and dn anticipation of a dull market Mon- day on account of Chicago markets being closed on that day. Trading was generally in smal] quantities and somewhat scattering, but the undertone is somewhat better and the heavier traders are beginning to express the opinion that the spread between St. Louis and Chicago on July Wheat under existing circumstances is entirely too narrow. he news is also beginning to change, and foreign markets do not respond as readily to declines on this side as they did last week, Our visible supply Is decreasing rapidly, export clearances for the week were heavy, local stocks are dwindling rapidly and re- ceipts, both here and in the Northwest, are growing light. The statistical position was never strong- er than itis now. Our visibie supply is only about one-half as large as it was a year ago, _ foreign stocks are below the danger ne, The heavy export clearances prove that Europe is still taking our wheat, and at the presert rate our stocks will be complete:y exhausted by the time the new crop becomes available. There is an entire absence of demand at present and a lack of confidence on the part of traders, but the market is in such a condition that the least improvement in the demand for wheat or flour, either at home or abroad, would cause a sudden and sharp upturn, The entire stock of contract wheat in St. Louis is only about 100,000 bushels, which is in the hands of a few individuals, over three- fourths of it being in one elevator. With a reorganization of the elevattor interests there will undoubtedly be strong efforts made to bring wheat enough to St. Louis to fill the empty bins and to make the eleva- tors pay, and this will necessitate some ad- vance in prices. The high pricés realized by the few farm- ers who held their wheat last season will be likely to prove a,.lesson to others, and those who are able to carry their wheat will not be in a hurry to sell this year un- less they can get a reasonable price. Harvesting is under way in some parts of Oklahoma and Texas, but there will be no movement of new wheat in this vicinity for some time. The indications are for an average crop of winter wheat, and a spring wheat crop slightly above the average, but this with the reserves exhausted does not warrant ex- tremely low prices. The foreign situation remains practically unchanged, France will undoubtedly be an importer, although the weather of late has been more favorable both in France and England. The situation in. Russia is, as usual, an uncertainty, but the reports are generally favorable. Australia and India are likely to be importers, and Argentine cannot be be relied upon for any great amount of wheat. California promises to harvest a full av- erage crop, while the wheat in Washington and Oregon is in*a promising condition. The fact remging, however, that it will require more than an average crop to sat- isfy’ the requirements for the coming season, and replenish the depleted stocks in this country a Burope. we It is admitted by all parties that the win- ter wheat crop in the ryeh ie | tributary. to St. uis will be decidedly short, and {n order to attract shipments to this market our traders will be compelled to pay nigh enough prices to compensate for the difference in freight rates between this and other points. : It is also admitted that in Chicago stocks of wheat are very low, and traders in the Windy City have been paying 2 cents over July price for No. 2 spring wheat. Now, in order to replenish their stocks of wheat in time for July delivery Chicago traders will be compelled to draw supplies of old spring and Northern wheat from Minneapolis, or new wheat from the winter wheat belt. . But prices are higher in Min- neapolis at present than they are in Chi- cago, and this will compel St. Louis and Chicago to bid against each other for the small amount of new No. Red winter wheat, which will be available for July de- livery. Speculators are depending upon the fact that as spring wheat will not be deliverable on contracts for distant months, holders will be anxious to dump all of their spring wheat on the market in July, but, with No. 2 spring wheat bringing 2 cents more than July and yr afm | into consideration the small stock of wheat on hand in Chicago, this does not seem probable. Stocks in the Northwest are below the danger line, and receipts are falling off rapidly. July wheat closed at 68%c, %c up from the bottom, but a net loss for the week of 1%c. August lost 1c also oe the week and September wheat closed 1c lower than a week ago. ‘ The cash market is not in as bad condi- tion as that of futures, as the offerings are extremely light, but millers are unwilling to buy on a declining market, and export- ers are out altogether. Cash corn, especially white, suffered some in a get ye 4 with wheat, but futures are strong and higher than they were a week ago, July corn showing a net gain of ie and meg ig? a gain of (2G "ee. The market in cash oats is also weak and lower, although holders are making strong efforts to prevent a decline in prices. Receipts are very heavy. Futures are dull and dragging, as specu- lators are inclined to keep out of the market. + The flour trade reports a little better for- eign trade, owing to the decline in wheat prices, but the local trade is extremely dull and Southern orders are falling off. The output of flour from the mills of St. Louis and vicinity for the week was 31,400 barrels, as compared with 38,300 barrels for the previous week. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Ditecters will be held Monday afternoon, and a number of important measures will be taken up. The petition to establish a grade of No. 1 Northern wheat and No. 2 spring wheat, so ag to permit of trading in futures in these grades in the pit will be acted upon, and as it will not require a change of rules, will 7 . carry.

It reached the water one min- ute thirty-one seconds from the time it started, at a measured distance of over 900 feet from the point at which it rose. This, however, was by no means the length of its fil.gzht. I estimated from the diameter of the curve described, from the number of turns of the propellers as —— by the automatic counter, after due aliowance for slip. and from other measures, that the actual length of flight on each occasion was slightly over 3,000 feet. It is at least safe to say that each exceeded half an English mile. From the time and distance it will be noticed that the velocity was between twenty and.twenty-five miles an hour, in a course which was taking it constantly up hill. I may add that on a previous occa- sion I have seen a far higher velocity at- tained by the same aerodrome when its course was horizontal. I. have no desire to enter into detail fur- ther than I have done, but I cannot but add that it seems to me that no one who was present on this interesting occasion could have failed to recognize that the practicability of mechanical flight had been demonstrated. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL. In conclusion Prof, Langley says: “And now, it may be asked, what has been done? This has been done: A_ ‘fly- ing machine,’ so long a type for ridicule, has really flown; it has demonstrated its practicability in the only satisfactory way —by actually flying, and by doing this again and again, under conditions which leave no doubt. “There is no room here to enter on the consideration of the construction of larger machines, or to offer the reasons for be- Hieving that they may be built to re- main for days in-the air, or to travel at speeds higher than any with which we are familiar: neither is there room to enter on a consideration of their commercial value, or of those applications which will prob- ably first come in the arts of war rather than those of peace; but we may at least CHANUTE'S 1896 GLIDING MACHINE IN FLIGHT. pages calied the Aeronaut'cal Annual, has been published.

It is mocese ney, changing in direc- tion and in strength. his fact « it has been well shown experimentally by . F. Zahm, by Prof. Langley and proba- bly by others; but its effect upon a man- ridden machine must be seen and felt to realize that this is the great obstacle to be overcome in compassing artificial flight. It cannot be avoided, it cannot be témpor- ized with, and it must be coped with and conquered before we can e to have a practical flying machine. “One remarkable feature of the wind, however, struck us as hitherto unknown, or at least unmentioned. The wind gusts em to come in as rolling waves, rotating ¥; a higher speed than the génerai for- ward movement. The buffetings which the apparatus received from the wind while the operator was endeavoring to steady it, preparatory to a-filght, seemed to indicate that he was struggling with a rotary bDil- low which produced the fluctuations. It is quite conceivable that the _ fluctuations should be produced by a revolving motion, striking the surfaces with velocities vary- ing with the distance from the center of rotation, and producing all the pulsations which have been revealed by the instru- mental measurements. “Mr. Herring first called my attention to this feature of the wind, and I have ever since been es how I could, for go many years, have been watching smoke curling away from chimneys, steam con- volving from trains, or dust and leaves whirling in wind gusts, without realizing that the elastic tenuity of air must perforce SAMUEL PIERPONT LANGLEY, PH, D., LL.

There are indications that there is a certain synchronism about these air waves, and that arrangements can be devised not only to encounter them but to avail of them in ity.

Colored Man Who Rides a Bicycle Falls In With Robbers and a Stupid Officer. Willlam G. Jackson is a thrifty colored man, who belteves in making provision for a rainy day. Acting on this theory, he in- vested in an accident insurance policy sev- eral months ago. Now he is asking the company to pay a novel claim. The negro wants to be recompensed for time spent in jail. This claim is based on the assertion that his jail incarceration was due to an accident, and, therefore, comes within the scope of accident insurance, It is likely that the claim will be satisfied in full, for the insurance people incline to the belief that in getting in jail Jackson was really the victim of an accident. Jackson is employed at the Edison Illum- inating Works, Nineteenth and Gratiot streets. His duties compel him to rema:n at the works until midnight. One Satur- day night he was going home, he says, and at Twenty-fret and Chestnut streets he was assaulted and robbed. He was mounted on a bicycle,and although the robbers pulled him off the wheel, they allowed him to re- tain it. Jackson did not take kindly to be- ing held up by marauders, and he searched for a policeman. He couldn't find one, 80 he kept on going. Finally he arrived at the Seventh District Station, which was on his way home. He told the officer in charge what had happened to him. an. “Whose bicyere & that you are riding’ r inquired.

He wanted an op- portunity to show that he was not a bad man and that he had not stolen a bicycle or nything else. ory ccording to the aepre’e story—and if is believed by all who ow him—the police refused to give him an opportunity to edm- municate with his friends.

SUGGESTIONS RUN Bome MAD. Enthusiastic Correspondents Want the Name of Great Britain Changed. LONDON, June 6.—It is impossible to es- @ape the jubilee echoes. Already every- thing is turning upon that celebration— dress, decoration and entertainments, while there is a shrieking chorus from the press, warning everybody against all imaginable @isasters which, it is claimed, are likely to ensue. It is even pointed out that the pro- posed bonfires are likely to set the whole country in a blaze,- while other correspond- ents are so impressed with the importance of the jubilee that they are not satisfied with the name of England or Britain and want England to be rechristened Wiseland, the first four letters being the initials of Wales, Ireland, Scotland and England. This Is capped by another correspondent, who wants the Empire to be called Enwiscolia, 60 as to bring in the colonies of England, end that all subjects of the Queen be called Enwiscolians. Jubilee séates swindling is rampant. Sharp- ers are meeting the incoming steamers at Port Said, Prindsia and Queenstown and are gelling: to unsuspicious passengers unexist- ing seats to view the jubilee procession. Many Americans have been victimized in this manner at Queenstown. Complications in regard to the special em, bassy of Mr. Whitelaw Reid, proprietor of the Anaad York Tribune, are already on _ the horizon. The Queen will receive Mr. Red alone, following the same precedent with the other special Embassies. The Foreign Office is prepared to provide quarters for Mr. Reid and his suite, embracing in the latter Gen. Nelson A. Miles and Rear Ad- iral J. N. Miiler, U. 8S. N. Mr. Reid owever, proposes to do credit to the United States, and Mr. Ogden Millis, his brother. in-law, is already here seeking a large house for the accommodation of the special Em- basgsy. The Foreign Office officials are glad to have Mr. Reid do this, but they say they an not separate Gen. Miles .and Admiral ‘Ner from the rest of his suite and they +t provide their own quarters, wards of 35,000 signatures have already obtained for the Scottish national 4al to the Queen, praying that in iocuments the words “Great Britain” and “British” should always be substituted for “England” and ‘‘English.” Mr. John Erskine, a merchant at Belfast, Ireland, has offered the Lords of the Treas- ury, for the Queen's acceptance, a wwe nificent freehold overlooking Belfast Lough, as the site of a royal res.dence in Ireland. The latter country, it is claimed in some varters, has always fretted over the fact at the Queen does not visit that portion of her doeninion, and it has been asserted that her failure to do so is the result of the refusal of Dublin, in the '60’s to grant a site in Phoenix Park for a monument to the late Prince Consort.

Boss Tailors Look With Disfavor on Secretary Gage’s Investigation. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 5.—The investigation into the grievances of the East Side tail- ors by Special Agents Samuel M. Marks, an imigration inspector at Ellis Island and Robert M. Whatchern, formeriy Chief Factory Inspector of Pennsylvania, at the instigation of Secretary Gage of the Treas- ury Department at Washington, was the chief topic of discussion to-day at the meeting of the Contractors’ Association. They say that the department at Wash- ington is evidently trying to make political capital out of the strike of the _ tailors,. while prosperity has not yet made iiself felt among those engaged in the clothing industry. The contractors, moreover, claim that the agents named have pur- pcoes in view other than those of inquir- ng into the cause of periodical strikes. Chief Factory Inspector O’Leary came to this city from Albany yesterday and it is reported will make special inquiry for himself into the troubles of the East Side tallors. He is expected to call cth‘s after- noon upon the leaders of the strikers and the officers of the manufacturers and con- tractors’ associations. There is _ little change in the strike situation.

A Striking New York Tailor Locked Up for Want of a Quarter. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NDBW YORK, June 5.—Philip Rosenthal, a striking tailor, was lodged in the Ludlow Street Jail to-day on a writ of attachment against his body for a debt sworn out by an agent named Titelbaum, who sells clocks on the installment plan. Rosenthal purchased a clock of Titel- baum for $4 and promised to pay install- ments of 2 cents a week. He had paid $2 when the strike occurred, and was unable to pay more, Titelbaum dunned him for 25 cents this morning, but Rosenthal could not pay it, so Titelbaum secured a writ of attachment against him. Rosenthal has a wife and four children. Unless the order is reversed by a higher court, Rosenthal, ac- cording to law, must serve a term of three months in Ludlow Street Jail. Rosenthal’s wife and children were in the neighborhood of the prison this morning crying piteously. He was released on habeas corpus proceedings. “FITZ” AT LAW.

Did you ever stop to think how much household furniture could be stowed away in a big freight car made expressly for the purpose of carrying furniture? It twenty-five cars would hold. To have a correct appreciation of the magnitude it ig necessary to make a big tour through the big furniture house of May, Stern & Co., southeast corner of Eleventh and Olive streets, this city. May, Stern Co. have just completed the task of unloading and placing in posi- tion an immense stock from the Mattoon Manufacturing Co., Sheboygan, Wis. Sev- eral transfer wagons of mammoth size were kept busy moving the big shipment from the freight depot to the store. The undertaking was much larger than it ap- peared at first thought. Now, it has been accomplished and Monday morning the im- mense stock will be placed on sale at prices lower than have ever before been offered in St. Louis. Here ig the story of why May, Stern & Co. are enabled to sell these goods at prices lower than the cost of making them: To begin with the Mattoon factory is the largest and most complete institu- tion of its kind in the United States. Fur- niture of every description either household or office is manufactured there in amazingly large quantities. Patterns are changed twice each year—spring and fall: On this occasion the Mattoon people allowed too great a stock to accumulate, They had to have more room. With char- acteristic enterprise, the firm of May, Stern & Co. opened negotiations. The deal was not closed hastily. The manufactur- ers were given to understand that they must quote remarkably low prices in order to meet the requirements. Numerous fur- niture dealers throughout the country were anxious to get in on the bargain, but they could not buy in quantities large enough to suit the factory. The fact that May, Stern & Co. have a mammoth establish- ment in 8t. Louis and several big branch stores in other leading cities enabled them to handle a larger consignment than any of the other dealers. The result was that May, Stern & Co. captured the prize by taking twenty-five carloads. The factory management preferred to cut the price in such large quantittes rather than sell by jece-meal to other dealers who were una- le to use such a lot. People who visit May, Stern & Co. on and after Monday tg ph will the pleasure of seeing the great pew bord and of purchasing nousehold necessities and luxuries at - ces so low as to be ab- solutely astonishing. Even for people who well worth seeing. Beyond doubt, it is the known in the history of St. Louis. GOV. DYE’S FORTUNE. “” Face of All Protest.

Within the corporate boundaries of the city of St. Louis there are located perhaps a dozen concerns engaged in a line of busi- ness about the workings of which the pub- lic is poorly informed, but which is, never- theless, one of the leading industries of the city. Thie isthe manufacturing of fire brick in the varioug: forms {n which it its used. To the casual observer of such things the manufacture of fire brick means the digging of certain adaptable clays and their burning into bricks of various sizes and shapes, a very prosaic process. As a mat- ter of fact the operation of making fire brick is one of the most interesting that can be found and it is one that requires great knowledge and care and the invest- ment of a large amount of capital and the employment of a great number of men of various grades of skill, from the common day laborer to the expert chemist. The concerns engaged in this line of busi- nese in St. Louis in a large way are as follows: The Christy Fire Clay Co., manufacturers principally of fire brick, technically known as “‘glass house supplies.” The Blackmer & Post Pipe Co., manufact- urers: of sewers pipe exclusively. Evans & Howard, manufacturers of sew- er pipe, gas retorts and fire brick. The Laclede Fire Brick Manufacturing Co., manufacturers of sewer pipe, gas re- torts and fire brick. Parker-Russell Mining and Manufactur- ing Co., manufacturers of gas retorts, fire’ brick and fire-proofing for bu'Iding. Mississippi Glass Co., manufacturers of fire brick as an incidental to their glass business. In addition to these there are perhaps half a dozen other concerns of lesser im- portance engaged in the same lines. The combined property and plant invest- ments of these concerns will reach the enormous total of $5,000,000. Their annual business transactions will exceed $25,000,000, making this one of the most important in- dustries of St. Louls. In addition to being an important com. mercial line among the ay big interests that are located in St. Louis, the volume of business transacted in fire brick makes this the greatest market in the world for the manufacture and sale of fire brick of the various kinds. This city is without a competitor further west than Germany in the preparation of high-grade clays used fm the manufacture of what are Known as “giass-house sup- plies.’” These supplies are the blocks and stones for making the great glass-meltin tanks. To make them a peculiar quality o clay is required. There is an inexhaustible vein of this clay in the southwestern part of the city and the same quality is to be found nowhere else in the United States in a large enough quantity to make it com. marca ey valuable. The other kinds of clay are found else. where, re in Colorado, but the great lead in the business that the St, uls firms have gained puts them beyond the possibility of ever taking second place, An idea of the greatness of this market in the lines here quoted can be gathered from the immensity of the territory covered by shipments made from here. Shipments of glass-house supplies are made from St. Louis to all parts of the United States, and to Canada and to Mexico, The heaviest business in, Dowereal with the great glass concerns in the natural gas belts of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. An ef. fort has been made by local business men to induce some of the glass firms to locate here in order that they may get closer to their base of supplies im several of the ma. terials they uge, notable among which is the fire brick. his movement promises to be successful with at least the glass_manu- facturers that are located in the Indiana gas belt, where the supply of fuel is begin- ning to diminish. Close to St. —_ there are inexhaustible beds of fine white sand used in glass making. This is @ strong argument. and it seins put before them with every ree. The territory covered the manufac- turers of straight fire brick for general urposes is the North, the West and the Routh. In this branch the only A te zed competitors are the fire brick manu ae of Mg henge woees considerable beds of clay are ng wor . St. Louis-made sewer piping is shipped to all parts of the United States one some e foreign countries, no Mexico. Shipments ef Tae CS | eta ~ are 2) some extent a local line, but wa geet are also made to the West and South. The fire brick manufacturers find it neces- sary to have chemical analyses made of their clay at frequent intervals. This is sais tern 4 the case with the clay used for glass house supplies. The following is an analysis recently made of the veln in the southwestern part of the city: ANALYSIS OF WASHED POT CLAY. Water *en ee 7 *-* . **e see >. > eeeneeeneve 12.

At least two of the concerns here mentioned have lants and mines that are valued at over 1,000,000, and other firms value their out- fits at from $200,000 to $750,000. This of course includes the value of the real estate, although one concern has over 500 acres of ones inside the —~ limits that for uilding purposes would in itself be worth a cool million. The making of fire brick for glass mak- ing requires the highest grade of clay. For this purpose it is necessary to have a brick that will stand a temperature of over 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature at which glass is sufficiently liquid for blow- ing or roving is 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit. Ithough all of the clay used in making fire brick is scarce, and nearly all of it must be mined underground like coal, that used for ordinary fire brick sewer pipes,gas retorts and fireproofing, need not be of such a high grade as the clay used in glass making. Sewer piping for instance is subjected to no heat at all, and the tem- oe with which the other grades are ikely to come in contact is never very great. Hence much of the lower grade clay is never seasoned or ‘“‘weathered,” as aeneereny the case with the glass house The process of mining and preparing clay for glass-house use, as illustrated to a Post-Dispatch representative, is intensely interesting, more particularly cause of its novelty. In the district between Chip- pews street and Eichelberger avenue, and forganford road and King’s highway, there are 600 acres of ground devoted en- tirely to this pate oy Beneath this sec- tion there is a vein Of fireclay of the purest character. As far as known, it is the only vein of this clay in the United States. Here there is a mine, the shaft of which extends to a depth of 60 feet into the bowels of the earth. It is a mine in every sense of the word, and is timbered and shafted exactly lik@'a coal mine, and most of the miners are men who have worked in coal mines. The clay is in a wide and inex- haustible vein. There are cars and mules down in the tunnel of the mine and the clay, which has much the appearance of soapstone, is dug out by the miners, loaded into the cars and hauled to the shaft where it is taken to the surface. From there it is taken to the picking room and assorted as to grades. It is then “laid out,” in. the open air, and is “‘weathered,”’ or aired for two years before the first work of transforming it into commercial fire brick is begun. Laid out in this wa the ram ane _— and a= ese the clay plastic st in neutralizin - amutition* & the so-called The next process is to put the “ Clay into vats, where it is “wor boiling ter, that has previously been dis- tilled. All of the impurities are thus sep- arated and fall to the bottom of the vat, while the pure clay floats on the top in a semi-liquid state, having much the appear- ance of thick cream. It is then drawn oft through sieves, which remove the sand and remaining impurities, into settling bas.ns, where it stands for twenty-four hours. The water is then drawn off and the cla agi- raked 80 as to thoroughly apportion the sii- — and alumina. From there it is taken by aie pumps and discharged into powerful ter presses, by which most of the remain- eathered”’ ed’’ with ing moisture is expelled. These presses alone represent an outlay of $48,000. om these presses the clay is automati- Cally taken to the block resses, from which t comes out in the finished block. These blocks are dried by steam heat and piled in own draft kilns, by which they are further ried or burned. afm this block the glass tanks are mad for the “Hartfe a Pay ter mug - r nd. ass Co., hold $00 lass, is now bein blocks for this an the required tap | then anenin. in are even Shadrach, Meschek and Abednego of Biblical fiery furnace fame might have been excused for avoiding. The manufacture of sewer pipe, gas re- torts, plain fire brick and the other grades hitherto mentioned is also interesting and instructive, but cannot be covered properly in a newspaper article. It is sufficient to say that, combined, they form one of the many leading lines that have helped te make St. Louis a great commercial city. ROBDRT E. LEE, W. C. T. U. MEETING. A Crusade Against Cigarettes Now On in Japan. At the meeting of the District W. C. T. U. Saturday afternoon Mrs. Ingalls read a letter from Miss Clara Parrish, a Y. W. C. T. U.

CHICAGO-ST. PAUL FIGHT. An All-Round Fight Is in the Wind— Western Roads to Abolish Homeseekers’ Excursions. CHICAGO, Ill, June 5.—The roads of the Central Passenger Committee have taken action regarding the issue of an_ inter- changeable mileage ticket that will be re- ceived with pleasure by the traveling men of the gountrity. They have decided that commencing about July 15 they will issue an interchangeable mileage ticket which will be good on all roads in the territory of the committee. Nearly seventy different lines have signed Aan agreement and the tickets will be placed on sale just as soon as the roads can make their arrangements for auditing the tickets. Chairman Donald, of the Central Passenger Committee, will have all the tickets in his possession and they will be printed by him and issued to the roads as they call for them. The roads will manage their own clearing house on the tickets and the Chair- man will have nothing to do with them directly after they have been given by him to the roads which are to handle them. There is great satisfaction among the roads in the Central Passenger Committee Which have for nearly two years been working to secure the adoption of an in- terchangeable mileage ticket, over the prac- tically unanimous consent that the roads have given to the plan. At one time last week it Was reported that no action would be taken regarding the issue of a ticket, but the thing is now definitely settled and the tickets will be ‘«sued and on sale by the middle of July at the latest.

Springfield joined in the movement for a change, and East St. Louis entering the lists, the State capital is said to favor that. point for the next encampment in preference to Peoria, which city is also a bidder. Rathbone Division, No. 17, of East &t. Louis, has undertaken the task of securing the fete, which will commence August 23 and continue five days. Col. Shields of the Sixth Regienent has promises from a score of the leading Knights in the State that when the matter {s brought up ata brigade meeting to be held in (hicago, June 15, they will use strong influence to send the encampment to the “Queen City of Egypt,” and there are other favorable signs that Fast St. Louis will capture the prize. It is understood that if East St. Lou's Will guarantee $38,000 for prizes and cheap railroad fares that the encampment will be held there. Col. Shields said last night: We already have local Pledges for one- half the amount.

PVPS SOS OS NEW YORK, June 3.—George J. Gould has sailed away to Europe and gossips do say he may remain there several years..In fact, they picture him as about to undertake a siege upon English society and, with his millions at his back, storm the very citadels themselves. The success of William Wa‘tdorf Astor is said to be his cue as to how the thing is done. Although his millions are not as numerous as Mr. Astor’s, and he may not make for the Prince of Wales as agreeable a money lender, still there are enough of them to let him shine with a right smart glow and cash a few of the Prince’s due bills, too. Mr. Gould's intentions, desires and record are not consulted in the least by those who would epatriate him, but, as facts are all Never in the history of the Furniture Trade of St. Louis has such a chance as this been offered!

It wouud be little like the man to-day to undertake such a venture, but there was a day when he, no doubt, would have enjoyed a ‘‘go”’ with it. Now, however, Gould stocks are toy'ng with the bottom of the tray too often and he prob- ably realizes that it were best for him to stay close to his estate. Mr. Gould is a constant subject for gossip, yet probably he does less to deserve sucn undesirable notoriety than any of his fellow sufferers. Last summer when he and his family sailed to the north on a pleasure trip, it was promptly announced that he had gone on an arctic exploration tour. It would have been like the unlamented Jay to have been in northern waters awaiting news from Nansen that a railway to the North Pole could be foisted upon the helpless peo- ple of that far-away land .where there | was just the kind ot prolonged darkness suited to his schemes. But George Gould is not as far-seeing as his daddy was and he spoiled the story by sailing back into New York harbor whé@n he got ‘‘good and ready. His actions often upset the prettily planned stories of the gossips just as if he did so purposely. No doubt he will do so again and return to his plodding when the Queen s jubilee has ended. In the meantime he will enjoy himself in a fashionable town house - - - , r Me a - liad wh) — YA ee, ee + . . = yy , ped -_ This style—in Solid Oak—wi carving—a 20x24-inch Germa $12.50, ““The Broad- way”’ sells, while ney last, Abiss ciddec ciescc mirror in dresser and all 3 pieces properly fin- ished—sold by the Crescent Co. wholesale at COR.

Then, too. Mr. Gould’s dollars have been of no inconvenience, yet with these and other attractions the Goulds have not fig- ured prominently in swelldom. Just how gratifying that fact should be depends | upon what glasses you wear. Mrs. Bradley Martin did not know them when preparing | the list of desirable persons to attend her | hall, and like lack of acquaintance has been displayed by others, but never has it affected the serenity’ of the Goulds and their houseful of babies. With abject apot- ogies prefacing the remark, theirs is a home in which ‘“‘bawls’”’ are more highly re- garded than balls, Five babies have been horn to Edith Kingdon, and five hand- eomer youngsters are not to be geen in Se arts, With his wife, babies and their traps, Mr. Gould sailed to-day. In London he may be | joimed by the Countess de Castellane (An- | na Gould) and that unlovely Count of hers. The Castellanes have succeeded in attract- ing considerable attention in Paris by giv- ing lawn fetes and endowing 4 hospital. The possession of a Count jn the family, even though he be a Count in a republic where Counts have no court save that which society rears, might be a consider- | abje facior in boosting along the Goulds | if they desire to be boosted. The forward march of William Waldorf | Astor in English sociéty progresses mag- nificently, and Mr. Gould can be of good cheer. His relations, personal and finan- cial, with the Prince of Wales has no doubt been a profitable investment in. a social way, but all talk of a marriage ‘“‘being ar- ranged’ between him and a daughter of | the Prince was long ago dismissed as fool- | ish gossip. It is considered much more | likely that Mr. Astor might look with favor | upon a marriage between his daughter and | some likely fellow weil considered at Court, | though the truth probably is he has given little thought to the subject, as the diftle woman is hardly out of the nursery. Mr. Astor’s very gorgeous lawn party a few evenings since, at which Paderewski | played and Melba sang, is said to have set | the pace for the Queen’s jubilee jollifiers a | little more briskly than anything met with | in England lately. Novelties in electric lights and table decorations were employed, one of which, an illuminated floral table- piece backed with mirrors, and with run- | ning water coursing through it, first in tiny | spray and then in a musical stream, was specially attractive, the colored lights mak- ing it a brilliant affa‘r. However, the man who publishes a paper at a loss of $100,000 or so annually, and »yhilosophically dismisses the matter by say- ing the paper affords more fun than a yacht run at a Like expense would do, is likely to | devise unique schemes to entertain hig guests and no surprise need be expressed. Mrs. Bradley Martin will entertain lav- ishiy during. the jubilee, as will other New Yorkers who have taken houses in London for the season, They are a joy to the di- versified aristocracy there, and their wines will be drunk, good food eaten and millions accepted in exchange for titles as of yore, It is against this “game” Mr. Gould will have to go if he aspires to London society. He and his can put on “a good front” if | necessary, and should they chose to do so | they might give these New Yorkers who | when here know them not, the greatest run of their lives. Chauncey Depew has gone over and while he is not a Gouldite he no! doubt would help him along. Mr. and Mrs, Gould were the special . wards of Mrs. Paran Stevens, whose un- timely death cut short their social chance | for better or worse. “Anne Paran’’ was fast breaking down the foolish prejudices | against actresses in society, and soon would have had the Goulds in the front rank, | She had married her daughter to an Earl | and though herself one of the rarest hap- | enings this land knew, she was a power | n society and was feared by the members | of the farcical Four Hundred. | Since that day the stage and soclety have got much closer together. Miss Nancy Me- Intosh of the Daly company who appears nightly as the bare-back rider in “The C_r- cus Girl,” is the latest link to bind them. She has become the pet of several society | women who are coaching her and Burr Mc. | Intosh, her brother, for the dash. Miss Nancy is not pretty, but she has a str’king- | ly sweet face and makes a very attractive | circus girl. She ought to ride bareback in long dresses it is true, but that of course | is a foreign subject here. Fisie De Wolfe has long been a society fa- vorite, and the special ward of the Cooper- | Hewett, who are of the old-time simon- | ure aristocracy of Peter Cooper and his | ike. They held themselves aloof from the new crowd for many days, but at last the Fifth avenue crowd of millionaires had to be accepted, At that time Washington Square and Stuyvesant Square were the laces around which soclety whirled. Calve, Melba and the DeReszkes have a safe foot- ing in the magic world of the fashiona- ble set, and others are breaking over the outer bara. Why not the Goulds, two of whom, George and Edwin, married act- resses, and Howard has chased away to Eu- | rope again in the train of Miss Katherine Clemmona Clit, Fe fortified for a whirl. but Gould has whirled 5 227; His wife is one | case on Daly’s stage, and she retains much of | y LS this .

One Man Dying at the Hospital, An- other Seriously Wounded, and a Third Cut in the Neck. Three white men and a negro shot craps at Calvary Station, in Baden, last night. The negro lost 10 cents. It so maddened him that he drew his pocket knife and as- saulted the white men, Edward Healey is unconscious at the City Hospital. The physicians say he is probably fatally wounded. The knife pen- etrated the small of the back and entered his kidneys. The hip joint is almost cut from its socket. As a result of the cut in the kidneys uraemi‘ec poison has set in and he may die before he regains con- sciousness. Frank Prescott was cut in the left arm. One of the large veins was severed and he nearly bled to death before the flow was rd m. He is at the hospital and is very weak. His condition is not ser‘ous. Bert Cain was cut in the neck, but the wound its not serious. He is locked up at the Fifth District Sub-Station. The white men are all tramps. They ar- rived in the city hig They were pass- ing Calvary Station when they noticed a crowd of negroes shooting craps. They stopped and one negro invited them to play. Cain “faded” the negro for a dime. The negro was unlucky and he threw “craps.” Cain picked up the money and a quarrel re- sulted. The white men walked on and for- got the incident. : They had not gone far when the same negro stopped them. He wanted his money back, but Cain refused to give it to him. The negro had hig knife in his hand and, stepping toward in slashed him in the neck. Then he turned on Prescott and slashed him across the arm. Healey ran, but slipped and fell on his face. The negro jumped on him and while he was down did fearful execution. Cain picked up a club and started to Healey’s relief. The negro ran and escaped. The police have a description of him, and are searching for him, ROBBERY THAT FAILED. Quartette in a Surrey Makes a Botch of a Raid.

One of the three entered the store, L. F. Padberg was alone in the store, The visitor asked for a pound of coffee and followed Padberg to the rear of the store to have it ground. Padberg'’s attention was attracted by a nose in front and he saw an- other of the trio walking out with a caddy of tobacco. His supposed customer at- tempted to prevent him from going in pur- sult, but he broke away and took after the thief. His shouts attracted a crowd, and leaving them to pursue the man with the tobacco, Padberg returned to the store to capture the man who ordered the coffee, The man escaped after a struggle, leaving his hat with Padberg. Thé man with the tobacco dropped it, and escaped down the aley. The man in the surrey drove Nhe before the crowd approached and the third, who had alighted from the surrey, made his escape during the excitement without at- tracting attention.

NO WAR IN THE CAMP. - Prefect Rossman Denies Rumors of Trouble in the College Sodality. — Prefect Vincent D.

LOUIS. The judicial campaign itn the Third Ill+ nols District, on the part of the Republicans closed with a mass meeting of colored vot ers at Brooklyn last night, at which Justice David J. Baker of the Supreme Court, @ candidate for re-election, and other d tin- were advertis to guished gee ct address the multitude. not regarded as a success for the reason that Judge Baker, other distinguished Re-. publicans and the multitude failed to ma- terlalize. The main reason why the crowd waen't there is understood to be that the colored vote has split up and will divide cake with the Democratea to-morrow. Thus ends the Republicans farce that start into canvass with the claim that judic election should be conducted on the non- partisan plan, and ended up by a wed crack of the party lash. In view of this and the cleanly and admirabie campaign conducted by the Democracy there is every reason to hope for a Deme- cratic victory In the district Monday, . ublicans have been worsted at eve turn. The convention held in Hast 8h Louigin April, when the Republican en dates were nominated. closed with a no bolt of the Madison County dqeg@ion a the withdrawal of the entire celegati from the hall on account of the knock-out blow to Judge Irwin. The Republicans were worsted again when the Populist«a met in digtrict convention at Duquoin and se- lect gd Carroll C. Boges as their candidate for Supreme Judge, in the face of the faet that the Populist vote elevated David J, Baker to the Supreme bench. The (the Republicans) received another b M eye, when R. W. 8.

A JOB HIMSELF, Would Like to Be Hannibal’s Post- master, but There Are Others and the Trouble Grows. Special to the Post-Dispatcb. HANNIBAL, Mo., June 5.—Since the de- feat of Major C. N. Clark for Congressman in the First Congressional District, a com- plication has arisen that is very perplexing to the applicants for the Postmastership of Hannibal. It was generally understood that Major Clark would have the naming of the Postmasters in the district, and although there are five applicants for the Post-office in Hannibal he has been very cautions not to indorse any of them, although during his “still hunt’ campaign he smiled on each of them and gave them to understand that after the election their interests would be looked after. It now transpires that the defeated Con- gressman will be an applicant himself for the Post-office, and it is generally believed that he can secure the appointment. The office pays about $3,000 per year, and Major Clark is not the man to let a fat job like that slp through his fingers if he can help it, and certainly not if none better is in his grasp. It is true that he would like to have something better, a Consulship or some other sinecure position, but just now there is none in sight, especially for a man who did not have enough influence and support to carry his own town, or even his own pre- cinct. If Major Clark had made a strong race, even though he had been defeated, it would have given him more weight and in- fluence with President McKinley and Mark Hanna, and he would have been in a posi- tion to assist his friends. There are many Republicans in Hannibal who now declare that hée will have no more influence with the pie distributors than any otherordinary Republican politician. Butstill he has been besieged for the past two or three days with applicants for the various postoffices in the district, many of them believing that his simple indorsemént is all they need to insure their appointment. There is now a great scramble for the post- offices in the First District, for the ap- plicants were told during the campaign that as soon as the special election was over the appointments would be made. This was done to hold them in line and induce them to vote for Maj. Clark: but since the Waterloo very little attention is paid to their petitions. An effort will now be made to oust Postmaster Nickell, although his term will not expire until next May. CUNNINGHAM AS MANAGER. Popular Ho‘el Man Takes Charge cf the St. Nicholas To-Morrow.

Luyties presided and Dr. G. M. Seidlitzg acted as secreiary. Dr. W. B. Young read a paper on the pro- priety of an operation during the first at- tack of appendicitis. He favored such a procedure, and pre. sented two successful cases in support of his theory. Appendicitis as a general rule does not ensue from a foreign substance tn the ap- pendix, he sald, but its true origin is yet in doubt and must-continds «a matter for conjecture.

GREAT PICNIG —_ FOUR THOUSAND GUESTS DID “DE | OLE MAN” HONOR. HE SNARLED AT HIS ENEMIES. The Omuifest at Koerner’s Garden Was Remarkable for the Frankness of the Orators. Nobody but Chauncey I. Filley would ever have dreamed of giving a political fete champetre in a year immediately succeed- ing a national campaign. At least nobody ever did give such a fete, and so Mr. Filley must be credited with adding ancther laurel to his crown of originality. It is understood there is only one Filley, Napoleon said of Talleyrand: “If there were two of him, we would needs make way with one.” The unique, the startling, the unexpected are parts of his genius and. the devotion of his friendea is one of the anomalies of political history {in Missourl, for the old Republican leader loses nearly ais many battles as he wins. He and his friends are now etanding afar off from the Federal pie counter. He has mo political standing in Washington, no opportunity to reward his friends with of- fice, no chance to show the ward workers and manipulators his appreciation of their Services, except in eo far as the municipal jobs may be distributed amoong the faith- ful. So he decided to give a fete champetre. And guch a fete as it was. Away out on the King’s highway and Arsenal street is Koerner’s Garden, famous in local history as the place of Republican gatheriggs, of illimitable beer and summer theatridils. There Mr. iF lley gave his picnic. The people who attended it numbered at least 2,000 and the affair cost in the neigh- borhood of $3,000. Of course Mr. Filley was not required to go down in his new trouser’s pockets and withdraw any such sum. He simply paid his “share,”” which is estimated at $500. His political friends helped out with the rest. Precisely at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon “De Ole Man” walked majestically into Koerner’s Garden. He carried a cane and limped perceptibly on account of a weakness in one knee, remaining from the accident to his horse and buggy last year. He wore a new gray suit, just from the tailors, a long frock coat adding to the height and dignity of the man. His hat matched the suit—a sugar loaf gray. Several of the managers lolled listlessly about the door. Billy Hobbs was conspic- uous in welcoming guests, while ex-Treas- urer Foerstel pinned boutonnieres upon the coats of committee chairmen. Mr. Filley walked leisurely over the grounds and gave a grunt of approval at the arrangements. Ten minutes later the Filley lithographs were tacked up in every available place, and by actual count there were forty-one of them. The decorations of the garden were not profuse, but very effective. The pavilion Vas gracefully draped in scallops of the national colors, with straight-away flags about the railing. In the auditorium the posts were shrounded in perpendicular satrips of red, white and blue, and hanging from the eaves floated two dozen flags. Dependant from the roof, reaching from post to post in a semi-circular drop, were more flags, and the roses were tastefully adorned with flage in fan shape. By 4 o’clock the picknickers began to arr.ve in plentiful bunches. First. the Merchants’ League Club band of trumpet- ers, escorting the committees, who made a circuit of the grounds, then surrounded the hero of the occasion and gave three lusty cheers, Néar the entrance gate sat a typical group at a large round table. Mr. Filley, of course, was the center of it. Near were ex-Con- ressman Niedringhaus, who stroked his ard and made every effort to look pleas- ant; Dr. Preetorius of the Westlhche Post, who contemplated the scene without com- ment; Prof. Waterhouse of Washington University, to whom the “push” had to be introduced, as they weren't ‘‘onto his nobs with the gold screens;’’ Uncle Henry Ziec- enhein, who wore a red rose, and beamed upon ‘everybody, without respect to race or color, and Judge James E. Withrow, who s00n grew weary of the distinguished coterde and moved away. The Second Ward Club came in a proces- sion, each member wearing a gray suit and big white hat. They were in great humor, and insisted on shaking hands with the lead- er, who sat at the entrance gate. “Hullo!’’ said Mr. waeey, in his roughest voice. “Where'd you fellers get the hais? Broke into clothing store, I guess.”’ Mr. Filley’s handshake was a study. He extended two fingers, under which his big thumb protruded, and let the other fellow do the shaking. And the other fellow al- Ways looked as though he wished he hadn't undertaken the job. By 5 o’clock’ the grounds were tolerably well filled. There was no crowding and everybody had a sufficiency of elbow room. The waiters were running to and fro with great market baskets of bread, dishes of Salad, trays of sandwiches and boxes @f beer and wine. The crowd began to wear @ lean and hungry look Theodore Kalbfell, Mark Chartrand, A. J. Showers, Billy Hobbs, Julius Wurzber- ger and Tom Niedringhaus superintended all the proceedings and proved of great service to the crowd. The ladies and chil- dren were conspicuous in numbers and in the interest they manifested in the strange Buccession of. political scenes. The Old Man Bountiful was tn his glory. Greeted, admired and toasted, he thor- oughly enjoyed himself as he sat amidst his hosts of invited guests. It was 5:15 o'clock when Mr. Filley and about fifty of the more distinguished guests marched up to the pavilion and sat down to luncheon. There were four lon tables, fully prepared to groan with the cold dishes and attendant liquids. Another table ex- tended from the pavilion down the garden athway to its eastern confines, The small ables throughout the garden were fully as gy the visitors. Mr. a ey arose, and lifting his glass Said: St. Louts Citizens—We are aoing to down the punch bowl.

He had not begun when a voice was heard in a high key, saying, “Dr. Boyd.”’ Mr. Filley had just assumed an oratorical attitude, but at this cry he smiled and the audience roared. “I personally, and. on behalf of the Re- publican organization of St. Louis, express pride in the presence of this magnificent gathering,’’ said Mr. Filley. “The Democratic newspapers want to know what this demonstration means. It speaks for itself. It is a recognition of or- ganized, ward-working Republicans. There are no sunflowers in this crowd. There was more patriotism expressed in the elec- tions of last November, April and May than were ever mahifested at an election in this State. It was organization of precincts that won us those victories in St. Louis, The ladies helped us. The wives and daugh- ters of Republicanism gave their support and I am only sorry I could not have ex- tended an invitation to the entire 65,000 voters in this city to be here to-night. We have their representatives present, though, It was they who gave us a non-partisan Board of Education, Not one man pledged to anything, but an honest, unselfish board, pledged to the best interests of the public schools. There’s your machine, and it’s the very machine that’s here this evening. Without the machine it couldn’t be done, Creatures there were dabbling in politics, but we learned them something. “We learned then honest politics and how to conduct honest elections. ‘Tf 7,000 ballots had not been thrown out we would have carried the city by my pre- dicted 20,000 majority. But we've got ’em! “Johnny O'Meara says we've got 'em for twenty-five years. We have got*’em and will keep ’em as long as you men are true to yourselves, your organization and the Republican party. The Democratic news- papers were against us. They furnished me many a test for effective work, I can tell you. And so far as the Democratic news- apers are’concerned, they can go to grasa, love my party. I love my Republican friends, and the principles on which my party ie founded, All we ask is home rule and honest majorities... That’s what we've got now, and we expect to keep it. For a third of a century I have been engaged tn this work of organization, and if my old leg holds out I expect to be in It for half a century. I am prouder of it to-night than ever before in my lHffe. “T have no personal revenges, no personal hatreds in stock. They can't drive me into that, noteven with athief. Weare going te have something to say in the next State and Federal administrations, you bet.’’ Tiere the old man paused, and, marching up and down the platform, paused before Mayor Ziegenhein, laid his hand affection- ately on-His Honor'’s head as he said: ‘The Czar! The Czar!” There was tremendous cheering. “We love him,’’ continued Mr. Filey, ‘because he is a czar. Seventy-five police- men couldn't pull him down from the rail- ing of the Court-house rotunda. He stood there and defied the Democratic police and the Democratic party. He has the courage of his convictions. So have I. So has every Republican who is a thoroughbred. “Fellow citizens, I'd rather-have one of our city departments than all the Federal appointments in_this State. I'd rather have Collector Wenneker’s or City Mar- shal Reinstedler’s office than everything that can come out of Washington. This sentiment cheered the crowd might- ilv, and they yelled the r approval, “rd rather be a plain Republican than a Federal pie-hunter!"’ shouted Mr. Filey, and then a great shout almost rent the drop-curtain. It was not so much an in- dorsement of the sentiment as an appre- ciation of the blow at Col, Kerens. “The mug wumps, | continued “De Ole Man,” “cannot reak into my Republi- eanism. The Star Rovters can’t break in, either. We are the party! We are the party! And don’t you forget it!" Another outburst of plaudits showed the assembly who Was meant to be hit. “T am no pie-hunter. This gathering is jie enough for me. I told Gov. McKinley vefore his inauguration that wanted nothing at hie hands. But I did tell him we must have an American policy. I did say we must get &@ non-partisan tariff com- ion that will permamency settle the f question in the tnterest of all the le and not in the interest of any par- . When Congress gets through with the pending measure we will have this non- partiean commission.” Most of the audience was rather myst!- fied at thie. It could not exactly catch the drift of such a remarkable departure from the old man’s style of claiming everything for himself and his friends. They failed to see that in the sunset of his life the unyield- ing, and uncompromising was trying to turn patriot. Mr. Filley suddenly drew a flag from his pocket, waved it over his head and cried out: ‘“‘America against the world!” : Then they understood and answered with a tumult of cheers. It was a regular Filley trick; such an object lesson as.rfo one but Filley would have dreamed of.' ‘“‘We want this flag,’”’ he said, “‘to cover }every American interest, whether of pro- duction or education. Then we'll have ‘em. Americanism is non-partisanism, and we want the tariff issue settled as we have settled the school board question, to the satisfaction of the entire people, regardless of party or of partisan politics.” The old man closed there and was greeted with a round of applause. Judge Spencer was introduced to preside over the meeting. He paid a pretty com- pliment to the ladies, complimenting them for their victory in the last School Board election. Then he presented Mayor Ziegen- hein, who received eyen greater demonstra- tions of popularity than had Mr. Filley. Uncle Henry said: “A great deal has been said already, and if I should sit. down and just say ‘Amen’ to all of it, I would think I had delivered a very good speech, I agree with what Judge Spencer has said about the ladies. I tell you, the lady that rocks the baby, rocks the world.”’ His honor was. desperately mixed in his quotation, but it went—as did everything else at Koerner’s Garden last night. “Whilst we are in office,’’ he continued, somewhat irrelevantly, and using the reg- ular Burgomaster’s plural pronoun, ‘we are there Not as a Republican but as a repre- sentative of every citizen, and I will try to do my duty. I want every man, woman and child, when my administration is done to say it is the best St. Louls ever had. Talk about your streets. I hope our gvod newspapers, Democratic and Republican will keep up the clamor for better streets, as they have been doing the last three or four weeks. Then we'll get ’em. “I shall do nothing while in office to re- flect on my family or anybody else. Since I have been gtown I have never done any- thing I am ashamed of. When I was in my former office I was critic'zed, but I have been honored as no man ever was, for which I thank my good friends, the news- papers, “When Jesus Christ was here on earth he was crucified—but dey don’t do dat to Onkel Henry yet. That's where I have the advan- seep OF ty K letn. = was always good, ut lave become that wa : ri eek’ weeks y after having His honor took a jocose strain and then abruptly ended his speech. Dr. Preetor‘us, editor of the Westliche Post, paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Filley. He hoped the old man would live many years yet, to lead the party to victory. Wm. R. Horton spoke a few words for President of the City Council. who could not be present. : Ex-Congressman Niedringhaus made a long rambling address in favor of protection and the continpance of Boss Filley. It was not entirely unmingled with sarcasm as he spoke of the distribution of Federal] offices, , Speaker Hiram Floyd of the House, Judge Zachritz, Henry Studniczka, L. J. W. Wahl, F. C. Brownell and Judge Leo Ras- sieur, made a few remarks,’ and there the programme ended. The Twenty-seventh Ward Club presented Mr. Filley with a mammoth bunch of roses which the old man received with evidences of much feeling. With a rising and speech-making ended. re three cheers, the The stage had been occupied in front o the curtain by Mayor Z acenhein, FF ena I. Filley, Judge Spencer, Judge Klein. F. B. Brownell, Judge Fiitcraft, ex-Congress- man Niedringhaus, Chris. Schawacker, President of the Board of Public Improve- ments McMath, Collector Wenneker, Isaac Mason, J. H. Sturgeon, Judge Leo Rasegieur, Prof. Waterhouse, Marsha! Reindstedler, Speaker Hiram Lloyd, Judge Kiein, Judge Zachritz and Henry Studniczka. When these had filed off the lights were turned on throughout the auditorium and the orchestra .appeared. Then came the opera At 8:30 o'clock the auditorium was packed, and so were the adjacent, nen Pigg SN hijisides. So were the littl round tables throughout the garden. The brilliant lights fiashed upon the gayest and liveliest scene ever known at Koerner’s Garden. Mr. Filley and a few of his friends took advantage of the busi, and confusion inci- hoarse with « " And as for beer, flowed like a riv t waters.

From that hour to the closing up time there was revelry by night at Koerner’s Garden, but neither bad weather nor exciting dent occurred to mar the harmony of ; ley’s picnic, which altogether was the moss original, unique and entertaining bit © political comedy ever known in the history of this country. —— PLAYED IN GREAT LUCK.

Deaf for Five Years. Now Cured. Frank Dinning, De Soto, Mo.: “I had been deaf five years.

I was getting Deafer and Deafer and besides I suffered from ringing noises in the head, which bothered me terribly at night.

A student of human nature could easily spot various types of femininity as he sits by the roadside and watches those on wheels go by. It is as easy to make a correct esti- mate of a woman’s character by her legs as by her countenance. But it is impossible to judge of one’s underpinning by the counte- | nance. The girl who passes as the belle in a , ball-room because of her pretty face and A maiden on a summer day Went wheeling in ber bloomers gay, And, oh, how the young men did stare Tc. see the beauty of that pair.

Women who, a decade or go ago, threw | up their hands in horror if a _ fairy- like creature in abbreviated skirt unex- pectedly appeared on the stage, walked on her toes, and kicked at the galleries, never dreamed that they or their daughters would one day surpass even the ballet girl in a grand display of ankles and calves, that, too, in the public thorough- fares. But it is even so. Women of all sizes, shapes and station travel on their shape mow, and the ballet gir] sits weeping in the —_ THE TRULY* MODEST RIG. wings. If the latter would hold *the bald- headed row spellbound she must need wear the longest and most befrilled skirt know to the dressmaker’s art. Old rounders of the front row brigade, arks with duck- who wheel all day in the Jegged widows and wiry old maids, will ul- timately be all curiosity to see what a wo- man looks lke in a long dress. Not that Miss Ballet displays the color of her stock- ings. Oh, no. Her art lies now in only a heartless make-believe of raising her skirt. And while she smiles and bows and winks her saucy eyes more or less ‘“‘Cissy Fitz- erald’’ like, the chappies could not tell or the life of them. whether she wears her garter buckles above or below her knee She lifts the sides of her skirt with a magesty and shyness that would put a bloomer to flight.

The sights seen on the boulevards any afternoon are 80 yaried as to make one wonder where the Creator got such a di- versity of patterns in underpinning.

She is as likely to have Kkmbs of toothpick pro- portions as not. And the girl who has a thin face and neck may surprise her friends with pedal extremities as plump and shape- ly as the most fastidious could desire. Some may wear long dresses, but their limbs are not entirely concealed. They come into view at every turn of the wheel. Among the wheeling brigade are several well defined types. There is the prim, strictly proper, not to say prudish, young woman, among the most conspicuous of amateurs. She wears ruffies on her sleeves, a trimmed hat, suitable only for calling, and a long street dress with a white pet- ticoat. This rig is her idea of modesty, and truly nothing on wheels is so suggest- ive as a white skirt. After she has grad- vated from the kindergarten .f biking she sits most erect on her saddle, wabbles her wheel about in a tortuous serpéntine path among vehicles and wears a grin. of: deep ‘} self-satiefaction. Then there is the prudish young woman a THE SPINSTER. who is past what one might term the young lady stage. She wears a look of slow con- version to such unladylike exercise, and each time she lowers her foot to propel the wheel it ie with an air of deliberation, as though she was still not fully converted. She is generally accompanied by her big brother, and if she wears a bicycle cos- tume it is a very modest, long-skirted one, with a minimum of exposure. . In striking contrast with these are the old stagers who for ages have been pining to sun their underpinnings in the parks and on the boulevards, Among these are the bloomer brigade arm, strange to say, not one # a hundred realize the suffering they in- flict on the public by their pigeon-toes, knock knees and unshapely limbs.

They spend most of their time pumping up tires, or gathered in little groups talking small talk and bowing and scraping at ach other. successful wheelwomen, as they can’t be and be formal. Formality must be left at home for untrammeled en- joyment of the wheel and they must divest themselves of all heavy airs and be able to sit down on the curbstone or in the grass when they become fatigued. Most of this type wear the high top boot either in tan or check in gray and these afford ample op- portunity for bolstering up scanty and scrawny limbs. They have the best dressed limbs of any one sees and the most modest looking skirt. The girl who rides a man’s wheel is the most ridiculous sight of all. If she wears a divided skirt she looks very well, but few of them do this. A woman on a man’s wheel in an ordinary bicycle skirt is more easily imagined than described. Bloomers, knickerbockers and tights are not in it with her then. It seems the universal law among female bikers that the uglier and thinner they are, 9 shorter their skirts and the faster they ride, No matter how ugly the faces of the bikers one sees legs much uglier, and.no matter how modest the dress a pair of ugly legs invariably gives the owners an immodest look, and makes the spectators wish a society for prevention of cruelty to mankind would take these bikers in hand. When women first adopted the bike and short skirt every man, woman and child stopped and stared every time the brave lady passed. But it is all different now.

THE GIANTESS AND HER MOTHER TELL HOW SHE GREW AND GREW AND KEPT ON GROWING. ——s It is not often one gets nearer the freaks in a big circus than the rope railing, and an interview with one of them is necessa~- rily an interesting experience. While looking at the long line of circus curiosities in the human form one is apt to consider them as unlike ordinary mor~ tals in every particular. One of the chief attractions of the big show that was here last week was Miss Ella Ewing, the giantess—one may say the greatest attraction in one sense. A Post-Dispatch reporter called upon Miss Ewing for an interview and was ush- ered into her imposing presence in the tent and introduced to her by Mr. Dean, the press agent. : Miss Ewing was sitting on the high plat- form in her immense oak chair in com- pany with little Peter and the Orissa twins, She wore a brown brocaded silk dress trimmed in white silk lace, and her hair was dressed with some artificial flow- ers, She consented to be interviewed and de- acended the short step-ladder while two men ; Silos Steet ated ok careful with her len skirt as the most pru only a glimpse of he the crowd about the pla ever, Was enough to and such remarks :as Miss Ewing is a quiet, pashful country oy like nese met W ~ po souri—also that suc altos big feet to Be Purge, oF rather rue her feet are ’ long, about 18 inches in Jength, but narrow When hiss Hewing reached the ground she advanced with a beaming smile, and wreaked the reporter with a cordial yoo —, She then led the wey to the back Of tie platform and into het dressing-room. pnt here Miss bwing ener Pog Fee og Pangea Faemeys 9 now that the giantess was quite natural, and possessed of the — amount of vanity common to womankind. of the smell room was @ = = og ag 3 ber mother was — her daughter’s clothes, The giantess could easily have lifted this to her shoulder or have carried it as most women®o a@ band- a About the sides of bodices, skirts and wraps were pinned, and on a small table among more dresses, rib- bons and flowers, peeped wide crocheted thread lace, indicating that Miss Ella was still a country girl in her tastes regarding dress. When asked how she liked circus life she replied: “Tl am delighted with it, and find it quite different from what I expected before I entered on it.” Here her mother joined in the conversa- tion and declared it to be a very novel and pleasant experience, as no oubt being church members they had entertained the common prejudice to circuses and circus the canvas room her.”’ hear this litle body spe as “baby,’* but “baby” ways be to the fond mother. Her mother made the startling assertion that Ella weighed only seven and one-hait pounds when she was born. “She was like other children until she was 7 years old, she said. “At that age she began to grow tall rapidly, and at 12 years was taller than am. “T then thought she was only an over- grown child and had gotten her wth early. At 14-she was over 6 feet tall, and we thought sure then she would atom, but she did not, and at 16 she was nearly 7 feet high. At 18 she was 7 feet 8 inches, and we thought she just never would stop, and she didn’t for some time after that. , Though Miss Ewing has been traveling on exhibition for seven years she evinc 80 much embarrassment at bein questioned so personally, the reporter hardly ventured to ask more than such questions as are per- mitted by 4 manners in good poctety. She started when she was 18 years old travel- ing with musemus, and has only been with is season. * "@- pon nearly nine feet tall.

I travel in a comfortable sleep- er, in which a section and a half is fitted up for my use, We have private apart- ments on the car and I enjoy the trips. Miss Ewing stood while conversing, and as all tall people do when listening to short ones, she dropped one shoulder and bent her head and y forward. This contin- uous leaning forward has made her round- shouldered. She would doubtlese be three inches taller if she stood perfectly erect. When the reporter ventured to ask if she had had many offers of marriage she blushed ahd hesitated until ‘her mother, mother- like, came to her rescue and said she had had a great many, but she did not want her daughter to marry, and Miss Ella said she was content with eingle blessedness.

BUT HELP CAME AND THE CUB WAS RESCUED WHILE THE BOA WAS SLAIN. Recently the Sunday Post-Dispatch told of a boa constrictor which swallowed a blanket, which was recovered, and the enake’s life saved by performing the opera- tion of laprarotomy. A boa constrictor will swallow anything at all when it wakes up hungry and finds that dinner is not ready. This is the story of another boa which swallowed a cub lion whole. The cub was recovered by an operation, but this snake was not so lucky as the one which atea blanket. The opera- tion this time was not laparotomy skilfully performed by a surgeon. It was just as ef- ficacious as far as the swallowed was con- cerned, but the swallower died.

The shark has always been looked upon as an enemy of mankind and especialy of the negro race. It has fed upon man for ages, but the tables have been turned, and henceforth the man will pursue the shark to appease his appetite as industriously as ever the shark pursued him. Here is the. story of how the revolution was brought about. One Wilson Fastnet, Who lives on the beach at Seaside Park, near Jersey, and who knows more about sharks than any man who has not been devoured by one of them, makes his living fishing. When they are plentiful he spends his time sharking. About five years ago Mr. Fastnet caught He oo play- ery by the and allowed the sand po down the shark was in shallow at the mercy of his captors. dragged him on the beach, and by means of a rope, made a re harness for him. He was then put back into the water and kept a prisoner, being hauled up for an occasional, exhibition for which 10 cents a head was charged. It finally occrrred to Mr. Fastnet that he could ® money on him in gome inland nd where he could be unharnessed. He was placed in a small cave and a dam built across the neck of it. The shark was trans- orted to his new home by a team of two Lorace. Here he thrived well, but it took all the small and useless fish from Mr. Fast- net’s net to keep him fed. He was kept on exhibition and brought his maeter a neat little sum. Finally Mr. Fastnet conceived the idea of ater and hey then HE LIYRS IN A TREE TOP. THE QUEER ABODE OF AN AMERTI. CAN IN NICARAGUA ABOVE MALARIA AND SKEETERS. Here is a man who lives up a tree. Hig name is H. Wildeson, an American who lives in Nicaragua. He lives in a house, but the house is up @ tree, far above the ground. Mr. Wildeson’s domicile is a three-story affair, built in an ebo tree, sixty feet from terra firma. This queer house is built around the trunk. That is, the trunk runs through it like the mast of a ship. T. F. Drew of New York has been touring dn Central America, and he not only visited Wilderson’s house rh! sleepin supplied with water in the treetops and The furniture is ood, though simple, hammocks, after the ashion of the country, taking the place of beds.

The house is built of jointed boards, firmly bound by wite cable, and further secured by wire strands passing about the egtructure. “Mr. Wildeson’s idea in building this lofty and novel house was to get above the ma- laria. It seems to answer this purpose and has other advantages. .Mosquitoes and flies will seldom rise to such a height, and raising other sharks.

The evidence leaves no doubt of this. The injuries Dr. Richardson sustained by falling from his bicycle were not seri- ous, and he might easily have recovered from them if he had not taken up a fevers ish idea that they would produce lock- jaw.

The big boa woke up hun- ery, and there being no one around, the reptile began casting about for something to eat. Nearby was a cage of lions, includ- ing a cub. The cub was sleeping close to the bars. The tail attracted the boa’s at- tention. man eats ox tail, why should not cub’s tail make a good supper for a hungry boa? The boa swallowed the tail. The cub did not discover the fact, but slept calmly on. Perhaps the snake liked the sample and concluded to eat everything in sight, or possibly it discovered too late that the tail was fast to the body, and decided that the easiest way out of the difficulty was to eat ts way out. Owing to the formation of a oa’s asophagus and stomach, food which Once passes the throat cannot return. Spreading its jaws to their ufMost ca- acity the boa swallowed at one gulp the indquarters of the cub. , Then the cub awoke, and objected to play- ing the role of Jonah to the snake’s whale. It cried and its mother awoke. The old female lion took in the situation at a glance. The snake took in more of the cub, until only the forequarters and head were left outside. The cub’s dam roared and woke up every animal in the circus. The lions, tigers, hyenas and wolves roared and howled. Monkeys and parrots chattered, the ele- phants trumpeted and made frantic efforts to break loose. It is characteristic of a menagerie that whenever anything out of the ordinary happens, all the animals take @ personal interest in it. The turmoil aroused the keepers, who rushed in to ascertain the cause of it, and quiet the animals. They quickly saw the causé and rushed to the rescue. The snake tried, literally, to back, out, but he could not. It was hard to tell whether he had the cub, or the cub had him, or both held each other. Some of the men seized the snake, while others took hold of the forelegs of the cub and tried to pull him out by main strength. But he would not come. On the contrary he showed a tendency to slip further in. The men saw that it was a case of the life of the cub or the snake, and as lions @re worth more than boas they quickly de- cided which should be sacrificed. One of them got a knife and cut the snake in two with a single sweep of it. Then the cub was extricated not much the worse for spend- ing a short season in a snake's stomach, The boa usually winds himself about its victims, and crushes their bones before swallowing them, but this one was in a hurry, and omitted this preliminary. That Was where he made a mistake. Had he done so his life would have been spared on the theory that a-live boa ts better than a dead lion. OMAHA’S IMMENSE UMBRELLA. When Raised It Will Be 250 Feet Above the Earth. The last Paris Exposition had its Eiffel Tower, Chicago had its Ferris Wheel, Nashville has its giant seesaw. The depart- ment of concessions of the Omaha Trans- Mississippi Exposition of 1898 has also re- ceived an application for space for the ereo- tion of a novel mechanical device, says the Manufacturer. It resembles the framework of a gigantic umbrella more than anything else which might be mentioned. The part corresponding to the stick of the umbrella is an immense cylinder, thirty feet in di- ameter, constructed of steel plates, firmly riveted, making a standpipe which rears its head 250 feet above the level of the ground. At the extreme top of this cylinder are fas. tened twelve long armeé resembling the ribs of an umbrella. These are steel trusses, reaching almost to the ground. At the lower end of each of these ribs is suspended a car for carrying passengers, @ach car hav- ing a capacity for twenty persons, These monster ribs are raised by hy- draulic power, acting by means of stee) cables operating through the cylinder, aided by a mechanism greatly resembling that Portion of an umbrella which comes into ‘action when the umbrella is opened. By Means of this mechanism the gigantic arms are raised until they are horizontal, the cars in the meantime being carried out- ward and upward until they reach a point 25) feet above the ground, the diameter of the huge circle formed by the suspended cars being also 260 feet. When the h ghest point has been reached another mechanism comes into play and the suspended cars are ewung siowly around in a circle, after which they are lowered to the ground. The eides of the cars are of glass, so that the Passengers may secure an extensive view of the surrounding country. Tradition as to Adam’s Weight.

Natives of Africa Esteem tho Huge horses js all the time pulling it away.” That is the fix of the Pennsylvania farmer in the region described. How can he hold the plough when it and the horses too are liable to disappear without a moment’s warning? He is in luck if he keeps above ground himself. On Wednesday of last week according to a Bellefonte, Pa., correspondent, while John Gilbert of near Poe ills was ploughing ground for corn in a low lying. fleld the earth suddenly gave way and the team sank out of sight, dragging the plough with them. Gilbert narrowly escaped the same fate by hastily juenping back just as the earth crumbled beneath his feet. It was just about sundown when the accident occurred. The neigh of one of the horses spurred Gil- bert to action, and realizing that what could be done must be done quickly, he at once went for help, and soon had half a dozen or more neighbors come to his assistance. Owing to the continual crumbling of the ground near the hole, it was unsafe to go close, and the rigging up of a windlass by which to descend for an investigation was slow as well as perilous work. In fact, it was nearly midnight when the job was done and Gilbert ready to descend. Cautiously the men at the winlass lowered the farmer into the hole, but to his surprise, it was not as deep as at first ayy er gee being but a lit- tle over twenty-five feet, and there on a wide ledge of rock were found the team of horses and the plough. The latter had been torn loose from the team in the fall and lay to one side. Both animals were alive, though considerably cut up and bruised. To rig up a derrick of sufficient strength to raise the horses out of the hole took until morning, and it was 9 o’clock the next day when both animals were taken out, appar- ently little the worse for the adventure, with the exception of cuts, which will heal up in a few days. After his tea.n had been rescued Gilbert about twenty feet across by fifteen wide. There were walis of silica .and limestone rock on all sides as straight as if built up by a stonemason. The bottom also was a solid bed of stone, and at one side was a narrow drift or opening leading off in a’ westerly direction, the full extent of which could nos be ascertained, but which probably led into another similar hole.or cavern, rom the small amount of earth and stone found in the hole, the covering of earth and rock could not have been more than ‘two feet thick, and this has been farmed over for twenty-five years. ls is the third accident of this kind which has happened in Centre County in the past six months. The first occurred about eight miles east of Bellefonte last fall, when the horse of a farmer near Zion sank out of sight. The hole in this case was only about fifteen feet in depth, and the animal was easily rescued. Just one week later, while C. B. Hess of Ferguson township was ploughing fallows, the ground gave way and one of his team of horses sank out of sight. In this case the horse fell thirty-five feet, and was found dead on a bed of rocks at the bottom. ‘The frequency of such ac- cidents has set geologists to studying more tion, and opinions hastily formed and ex- nown to geolo- gists as the limestone range, are literally oneycombed with holes and caverns of va- é€ numerous underground away the soft calcareous Pachyderm Very Highly.

To accomplish this the closest competition ever known in this city among managers is on. As a result few if any of the leading houses are mak- ing money. The day is not long gone, however, since big money was made here in music halls. One is known to have cleared $180,000 dur- ing a season. That gave the business a boost, and of course there are now too many halls to make much money even if the competition were not so great. Almost $3,000,000 is invested in these halls and it takes hustling to keep them floating. Be- causé@ of the very high character of the at- tractions brought out early last season the patrons to-day are not satisfied with anything not as good. More exacting still, they insist on novelties and do not care to see the same attraction often. Guilbert made a mint of money at Olympia when she first appeared, and the $4,000 a week paid her was an excellent business venture. Chevalier also made big money the first season, but oh, how different it was for both of them last year. They were ‘frosts’’ in every sense of the word. The home market is hardly equal to the emer- gency and the foreign talent is exhausted. As a result the fastidious are cutting their patronage, and box-office receipts are not nearly what they once were. ——9—— The newest venture in music halls {s the St. Nicholas in Sixty-sixth street, West.

She was engaged a year ago by Maurice Grau to sing last winter, but exercised her option to rescind the con- trac Her decision to do so was brought about by a peculiar combination of circumstances, Mme. Sembrich had sung at Covent Garden, and as she was not in good condition, or for some other reason, her success was not as great as usual, Probably the real reason was the fact that she appeared as Violetta in “La Traviata” just after Mme. Patti had sung the role. At all events, Mme. Sembrich decided to wait for a year before coming to the United States again. In the mean- time she has been singing in Germany and Russia, where she is an immensely popular erformer. In Spain she-is also very popu- ar. In Germany she si usually In con- cert, but ip Spain and Russia she appears in opera. Mme. Sembrich began her musical studies as an instrumentalist and studied first the violin and piano. It was while a pupil of Liszt that it was discovered she possessed a beautiful voice. Then she gave up the piano and violin, and became a prima donna, She is an Austrian by birth, and s for sev- eral years in the company at e Court theater in Dresden.

It had been only a lovers’ quarrel, but while it lasted they had been both very un- happy. As they remained in each other’s embrace they felt moved by different emo- tions. He felt that while he had been in the right, he yet might have been rather hasty. Besides he loved the girl, and that should have made.him more considerate, even though she had been entirely in the wrong. ; She, too. was sorry. But it was not be- cause they had quarreled, for her womanly intuition told her that he loved her and would be only too happy to be reconciled. To kiss and make up was the supremest bliss to him. But to her it was different.

All summer long the canines rode in the cars and the ladies blessed the manager of the corporation while caressing their pets. inter came with its chilling blasts, and the ground was all cove with snow one day, when there came a change. On a bit- ing cold morning two ladies who were rid- ing in the same car with their pet dogs at- tracted the attention of an officer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who was riding on.a pass. He noticed that the poor brutes were suffering with the cold, for there wag no fire in the car. “This will never do,” quoth he. “Here is a chance for me to make a bluff at earn- ing my salary, and I shall also get hunk on the manager of the car line, who re- fused passes for my wife and eight chil- dren.

All Paris is raving over 4 St. Louis boy, rles Galloway, who, accor org and other papers sent me from ne French capital, has scored a wonder! u triumph as an organist. At the third = pils’ recital,’’ given at the Trocadero, a fort- night since, the most brilliant of the season, it is said ‘that he played with such success that Guilmant, the most renowned organist in the world, rushed upon the stage and embracing young Galloway three times ex- claimed, “Free America is triumphaft. Everybody here knows the young artist. From his childhood he was known as Aa musical genius, a kind of prodigy in organ playing. When only 15 years old he was organist at Pilgrim Congregational Church, and from there went to St. George’s Church for several years. He was also a pianist of merit, a wonderful accompanist, much eought after by the best singers. a proficient reader of music at sight, and had that highly strung musical tempera- ment which made him follow or lead & song almost intuitively. He also improvised beautifully and was known. before he left here as a composer of organ music—Te Denms, Jubilates, etc.—of great merit. He is now in Europe for the purpose of perfecting himself in composition, as well as in-organ playing. —_—o-—— Like all gentuses, he is quiet and reserved, and except that his light could not be hid under a bushel he would never have been discovered. Several years ago he met Guiimant, the great organist, who came}. here to give a recital in the Grand Avenue Church. He heard him, and it was like an inspiration to him. He quietly made up his mind that he would go to Paris and study under Guilmant, and quietly, without any ado, he slipped away, and has been hard at work for the past two years, and this is the result: St. Louis has an organist in Paris of which she may well be proud. From a picture recently sent by him, from Paris, to a friend, a reproduction has heen made for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. His is the ideal face of a musical genius. -—-0O--— A charming event of the past week was the entertainment of the Daughters of the American Revolution, by the members re- siding in Alton. The ladies went up in a special car, forty-one strong, and were met at Alton by their hosts. They were then driven in tally-hos out to Monticello, the prettiest spot in all of this western coun- try, the first seminary for women in the West, a gift from Benjamin Godfrey, and named for the home of Thomas Jefferson. There they found the young ladies of the seminary all dressed in white and decked with the national colors, waiting to peceive them and conduct them over the grounds and beautiful buildings. Mrs. C. B. Rohland, the chairman of the Alton Committee, was for the time Mistress of Ceremonies. About 3 o’clock the Daugh- ters were conducted to the refectory, where they had a delicious luncheon served them, and after that they were ¢anducted to the music room, which -was a picture with its drapings of the national colors, and dis- play of flags. On the stage was an old- fashioned spinning wheel, and numerous Colonial relics, among them a picture of John Alden and Priscilla. Mrs. Rohland introduced Miss Haskell, the principal of the scho@l, who made a charming address of welcome. She claimed descent from one of the old Revolutionary heroes who helped brew the tea that made so much trouble, and said she could be a “daughter’ if she would, and it was immediately decided that she should be whether she would or not. She also claimed that Monticello, being named for Jeffer- s0n’s home, was a step-daughter, at least, and Monticello was made a full daughter at once. The young iadies of the school then rendered a delightful programme of music and a beautiful poem was read by Miss Alden, a lineal descendant of John Alden. It was a perfectly charming day and the Daughters did not get back to the city until 8:30 o’clock. It Is rumored that only two husbands were at Union Station to meet their home-coming wives. That can scarcely be true. There is a little bit of romance about Mon- ticello that will bear telling.

He is in town this week and it behooves the girls who will chance to pass in review before him to put their best foot foremost. He has been, and is no doubt still, the greatest maker of belles thig country has ever known. He has a keen eye for the beautiful and appreciation of wit and the graces; and he has withal the Dakota exhibit.

Miss Mackay is an ex- pert whist player,,and several informal lit- tle games have been given in her honor. With her arrival Mrs. Robert Atkinson of Washington avenue gave a very interesting whist party for her a few days ago, to which a number of the best players in the city were invited. There were four tables, divided into two teams, who played a close score. After the game refreshments were served from a flower-laden table in the handsome dining room. —_—o—- Mrs. Caroline 8. Brooks, the noted sculpt- ress, who has been in St. Louis for almost a year now, told me some interesting things about herself and her work,*the other day, which would, perhaps, interest the general public. In the first place, Mrs. Brooks is here for a eat purpose—and that purpose is the modelling of fifteen portrait busts of some of the most prominent men and women of the city. Among them is a magnficent triple relief of James E. Yeatman, Wayman Crow and Henry Shaw, and a fine portrait bust of Adolphus Busch. These are now finished and Mrs. Brooks has gotten well along with a second triple relief of Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, Miss Susan Blow and Miss Elizabeth Peabody, the three women who have done so much toward founding the kindergartens in this country. While here, Mrs. Brooks has also put the finishing touches to wonderful portraits of General Grant, George Pullman and the ubiquitous Li Hung Chang. Mrs. Brooks came to this city from San Francisco, where she has a beautiful studio on Devisardero street. She also owns an elegant suite of art rooms in Florence, where she lived for more than eight years. In this studio in Italy are two of the four marbles by Mrs. Brooks, which were med- alled at the World’s Fair in 1893. In addition to being such a prominent figure in the Art World Mrs. Brooks is so- cially one of the most charming women I have ever met. She is a deep thinker. a brilliant, witty conversationalist, and she possesses a marvelously attractive person- ality. She will remain in St. Louis until the autumn, when she goes to Washington, D. C., to open a new studio while working on portrait busts of President and Mrs. Mc- Kinley. —o-—— During my very delightful little chat with Mrs. Brooks, that gracious little lady men- tioned the name of Joaquin Miller, the mil- lionaire Californian. ‘“‘Do you mean the Joaquin Miller of San Francisco?” I asked eagerly. “Of San Francisco!”’ echoed Mrs. Brooks, ‘“‘Why, my dear, Joaquin Miller would scorn to be spoken of as a resident of San Fran- cisco!

Well, we drove over .to the place and were conducted in fine style to the entrance of the great house, where our host and hostess stood waiting to welcome us. Mr. Miller had@ draped about his shoul- ders a graceful, if somewhat theatrical Spanish cape, which I now know has be- come his principal mark of distinction. He greeted us in an impressively dramatic Sima of the house, where the city could be seen, bathed in the soft golden light of the setting sun.

There were millions of them—growing thickly beside the marble steps, up and down the side of the moun- tain and in widest confusion all over that portion of the terrace. It looked just as though there had been a heavy snowfall of roses—red, pink, white and yellow, in every imaginable shade.

There is a little girl in this city who breathes, not through her nose or her mouth, but through a hole in her neck. She is 5 years old, and has worn a tube for three long years. At the age when childhood is sweetest, when it prattles and toddles and is free from the aches of babyhood or the |}and thus the patient is able to breathe. The tube is removed after a few, days. It is an extremely delicate operation, and more or less danger is tncurred durin the introduction of the tube, because o the nearness of the delicate vocal cords and of the aesophagus. _Complications arose and Ida was com- Her tube required a great deal of atten- tion, for she was afflicted with a cough, and there was still mucus in the trachea and larynx. “s Every few months she went to tHe operating table and her tube was changed for one of a smaller size. It was a pitiful sight to see the little wit iH]! Hl We Ae ile We 43 Nur ° Hea i \ ~~ little troubles of school days, she was com- |} pelled to wear a tube in her neck, and be confined within the four walls of a hospital ward. This tube looks like a flat whistle placed on the median line of her neck; it extends an inch or two in her little neck, fitting tightly to a hole in the trachea. She breathes through this aperture. But for the sound emitted from this tube when the air whizzes through, no one would know that she breathes differently from other Little girls. And the most remarkable part of it all is that she is fairly healthy, as happy as a lark and is exceedingly bright. To be sure, she is not robust, and her cheeks are a lit- tle pale, but she romps about like a frisky colt and plays see-saw and horse with the Wildest youngsters in the block. She has a nobly formed head, beautiful rows eyes, wistfully large and soft, and ler eweet baby mouth droops pathetically. There is a pitifully mature expressio® about her little face that makes you long to take her up in your.arms, pet and croon over her as you would with your own baby. If you are a mother and cannot control the aching love tugging at your heart-strings, you do take her up on your lap and smother her face with kisses. These caresses she ac- cepts with resigned good nature and wide- open, surprised eyes. But if you do not feel that far-reaching, mother-love for the little one, vour well‘ng pity will be quelled by a certain independent a.r about her, and ou will in all probability merely stroke er curly head, kiss her forehead hesitat- ingly offer her a few eweetmeats and pat er cheek when- you Say ‘“‘good-by."’ see h y2 aneen are , © dimpies nestle in her cheek little round chin, a certain indesandent conker Guten and mature, reposeful and attention. e display of too much pity & Hoffman is a little thin b years old, with @ miass of brown cure ae an exceedingly interesting face.

But when the tube was closed for a few moments, she could not breathe Her face would be- come ghastly and purple, and she gasped and choked for breath.

After her two years of confinement and suffering, it is, indeed, a treat for her to play out in the sunshine with the other children. The green trees are like living creatures to lit- tle Ida. The fluttering flight of a sparrow or of a butterfly is a marvelous thing to her; she claps her hands with joy when the breeze blows to the four winds the fluffy dandelion feathers. A clover blossom is as beautiful to her as an orchid is to a so- ciety belle, and the simple biades of grass and creeping things are to her marvelous cause, she gays, they never cry, and she has had enough of crying. From the quieter exercises she goes to tag, blind man’s buff and black man. She has been a patient Jn a private hos- ital for three years. Her only companions have been querulous, hysterical invalids. The patients all loved little Ida and tried to be kind to her. But invalids are bound to be egotists. They had their babes at home and devoted most of their thoughts an love to the dear absent ones. Occasionally a convalescing patient would read to her (she ig passionately fond of books) or tell her stories, but not very often. She led a lonel life. There were days whén she wandered about, with pale cheeks and darkly shadowed eyes, when she would creep up to the bedside ofa groaning pa- tient and ask her to talk to her, becausé she was ‘“‘so lonesome and had the blues to-day.’’ At night, when she awoke with a fit of coughing, there was no mother near to pet her, no kindly hand to caress her, for the night nurse is always busy and sel- dom has time to attend to any one except the seriously ill Agere ees, Le ontinuous associa older people--weenen who are embittered by mis- fortune and morbid with suffering—has caused her mind. to be contorted with thoughts that the most virulent pessimist would hesitate to express.
