Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10,—Judge Calhoun will return to Danville, Ill., and if all signs do not fail he has gone to stay. It is pretty sure that the Presiden. coes not care to hear him again on the Cuban question, and it is also equally certain that the Judge will not willingly again place himself To a close friend Mr. Calhoun had this to say: White House. in the frigid atmosphere of the, “I am completely disappointed at the way my report was received, the scant attention which was paid to me and the evident displeasure with which the Presi- dent received the facts I told him. I verily believe that Mr. McKinley wanted and expected the reports which have been sent from Cuba both by the press and through the Consuls to be disproved by my report, but as I was sent there, as far as | knew, to get at the truth of what was gding on, I could only report things as they are, and thus verify the statements of Consul-General Lee and others. I was placed in an em- barrassing position on the island, having no official status, and now, when I come home with something to tell, I am coldly received, just because my report is the opposite of what the Administration wanted.” THE REASON FOR ‘MURPHY’S SNEAK — WON’T TRY CASES WHEN | JONESES ARE PRESENT. THE AFRAID TO FACE THE MUSIC. At Least This Is the Yarn He Tells to a Reporter Who Found Him at Home. Judge Murphy, who was elected to pre- @ide over the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction, was taking life easy, while five of the most important cases that have come up in the tribunal where he is supposed to ‘administer justice were juggled with and then continued until the legal tangle due to this absence could be straightened out. He had caused it to be stated that he was out of town and Louls Zepp, the clerk, had told the attorneys and others interested that his honor had ‘left fof some point in the country on important business and would be detained there till Monday. Mr. Zepp said that the Judge had taken an Iron Mountain train, but that he was not aware of the point where he had disembarked. But all the while that attorneys, wit- messes and clerks were worried as to what to do Wednesday morning, the Judge was resting upon a sofa in his home, 4974 Lotus street. He was not sick; he was not ill; he had no other business to attend to. He simply shirked his duty to gratify a personal spite, and this he admitted to a reporter Jater in the day. The story of the annoyance and confusion caused by this Judge’s action was told in Wednesday's Post-Dispatch. It was an hour after court should have opened before a provisional Judge, in the person of Ben- jamin F. Klene, could be appointed, and then, after he had ascended the bench, there was the point raised that he was not eligible because he at present holds the of- fice of State Senator. ’ As error might creep into trials before him, the State’s Attorney decided to post- pone all cases and consequently one day was lost. The State had been put to the expense of a session without any result and a host ~of witnesses had lost a half day. A reporter for the Post-Dispatch found Judge Murphy at his home on Lotus street Wednesday afternoon. He was in the garden,- to one side of the pleasant house that is on the corner next to King’s highway, and there he received a reporter. His Honor was quite picturesque as he stood among the early spring vegetables that weresepoking their heads of green above the brown soil, and he leaned upon the handle of a hoe while he conversed, occasionally emphasiz- ing hie remarks with a dig at a presumptu- ous weed that was within reach. ‘He was clad in a white cotton shirt that Was open at the neck and exposed a well- tanned chest. His trousers had evidentiy been in the garden many a time before, and had become frayed around the bottoms, be- cause the judge had forgotten to turn them out of the reach of the heavy square heeis that were on the thick leather boots. His expressive bald head that has grown to be such a familiar sight rising above the desk in the Court of CnNminal Correction, was covered with a tall straw hat that years azo was new. His fage was flushed from tne warmth of midday, and his arms, that were bare from the elbow, were as tanned as was the V-shape of the chest that was exposed. “And what can I do for you?” he asked, after he had tndicated with the hoe handle just how the reporter should step so as not to touch any of the vegetables. Thus guided, the visitor approached carefully between a row of early beans and some pea vines that were looking longingly up for some- thing to cHng to. “Judge, the report down-town is that you @re out of town; indeed it was so given out in court.’’ “Well, I'm not,” he replied. “This is pretty far out, but it is within the city lmits. However, I am going out of town. I ex- pect to leave on the Merchants’ Exchange excursion.” “When will you be back on the bench?’ “That I can not say. Possibly not till Monday.” “They eay, Judge, that you absented your- self so as not to try the cases of the elec- bn judges that were up for this morn- Re “What did they do with those cases?’ he asked, becoming suddenly much inter- ested. The reporter informed him that nothing had been done and told of the appointment of State Senator Klene as Special Judge, His Honor frowned. “That is very un- fortunate,” he said. “Of course the Sen- ator is not qualified to sit, and Mr. Mulvi- hill did what was right. When they want- ed a judge why didn’t they go to Zachritz. He is the one who should have appointed the provisional occupant of the bench, and I thought they would go to him.”’ “But, Judge, now they have got into a muddle will you not come down and resume your seat on the bench?” ° “T shall do nothing of the sort,” he re- plied, testily. ‘“‘Let them fight it out.’ Nothing was said for fully a minute and His Honor made a vigorous onslaught upon sOme weeds, then resting again on the hoe handle he asked: “Do you wish to know the true reason why I did not attend court this morning and why I shall not go there this week?’ The reporter said that it was to learn th's that he had come out on Lotus street. “Well,” said the Judge, slowly and de- liberately, “I shall never try any case in which the Joneses are interested. I have such an opinion of them that I could not do them justice from the bench and it is better that I remain away.” (Tkia reference by Judge Murphy was to Col. C. H. Jones, editor of the Post-Dis- patch, and Mr. G. W. Jones, Chairman of the Board of Election Commissioners. The cases which the Judge dodged compel the attendance in court of the Chairman of the Election Board.) “Then,” the reporter asked, “‘you will not try any election cases?’ “I shall not try a case in which any one of the Joneses is interested,” he repeated. “And if the cases are not disposed of Friday will you take them up?” *‘No, I shall remain away until they are disposed of.”’ “Why do you take this stand?” “Because,”’ said Judge Murphy, deliher- ately, “they are such liars.”’ “Then, Judge, you do not find life on the bench of the Court of Criminal Correction a pleasant one?’ “No, I do not, for the reason that every newspaper in St. Louis lies about me ani all the editors are liars. Now, for instance, look at the case of the prize fighters. The newspapers reported that I discharged the men because there was no written agree- ment. Why, I could find any §8-year-old CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO. A BIG PAT WIFE. SHE TOOK CHILDREN, COWS AND OTHER IMPEDIMENTS. HER HUSBAND’S TALE OF WoF. Says His Wife Offered Him $1,000 to Leave Her and He’s Sorry He Refused. William Robben, after peddling milk all day, returned to his home, 2846 Chippewa street, Wednesday evening, to find that his wife and five children, all of the householc furniture, his clothes, a gold watch and chain, $75 and five of his best cows were missing. George Good, son of the landlady, who lived up-stairs, was also missing. Robben’s clothes fit Good. On the front door-step Robben found this note; “Dear William: I leave you twelve cows in the shed, which will do a little towards keeping you alive. Your wife, “THERESA.” The woes of Robben have been many, in- cluding infelicity and a fortune-teller, but it was this last blow that caused the dairy man to visit the Four Courts Thursday and ask the police to find his cattle and his wife. He wanted the cows because of their intrinsic value, and he wanted his wife be- cause she had violated a compact whereby she had agreed to give him $1,000 of Guod’s money if he (Robben) would leave her. A year ago this month Mrs. Robben visited a fortune-teller and paid $1 to find out that her husband was going to die in May of 1897. Mrs. Robben insured her husband’s life for $1,000 on the strength of this forecast, ania week later she offered him $1,000 if he would leave her. Robben said she told him that she could get the money from Good. Robben declined to give up his claim on her affec- tions for a paltry thousand so then she said that any time he would leave her be- fore May, 1897, she would give him the amount. But Robben hung to h!s work, remained with his wife and apparently loved her and | the children. , One warm afternoon last fall Robben got home earlier than usual from his milk route and earlier than he was expected. He caught his wife and Good in the stable. She promised to be true to him after that, and all was well in the Robben househo!d until the last day of the month. Then Mrs. Robben’s faith in the abilities of fortune- tellers to foretell the deaths of husbands was shattered. Robben was still alive, and was heariier and healthier than when his death was predicted. Mrs. Robben then went to her husband and pulled the $1,0 reward for her liberty down. She now offered him only $500 to leave her, and he laughed at her. But his laugh Is now a groan. Wednesday a moving van backed up to the Robben’s house while he was away, and all of the household furniture was packed into it. The five children, four boys and a girl, occupied seats on top of the van, and five of the best cows in the dairy were tied behind the wagon. When the caravan ws gy away, a shepherd dog followed in the wake, When Robben got home he read his wife’s note of farewell, then went in search of Good, but the latter was not at home. Thursday morning Robben again called for Good but neither was he there then. Robben then went to the Four Courts. He regretted exceedingly he had not accepted $1,000 a year ago and again regretted he had not accepted $500 a week ago. He gave a description of his wife. She is 36 years old; he thinks she is pretty; large and fat and wighs 180 pounds. | The police sa'd they would see what they could do for Robben. J. C. SOUTH SELECTED.

HEIRESS TO $17,000,000. The Groom Is a Diplomat Formerly Attached to the American Em- bassy at Rome. BOSTON, Mass., June 10.—A wedding cer- emony, the character of which placed it in the rank as the grandest this city has ever seen, and which in point of. the wealth represented also was first among the great weddings of the century in this country, was that whereby Lara Anderson, until very recently member of the United States diplomatic corps at Rome, Italy, and Miss Isabella Perkins of this city, heiress to $17,000,000, to-day became husband and wife. The bride is the daughter of Capt. George Hamilton Perkins, U. 8. N., retired, gether with her cousin, Mrs. Charles Sprague, the wife of Congressman Sprague of Massachusetts. She is also prospective heir of $20,000,000 from her mother. The groom is the son of a well-known Washington family, the head of'which, Gen. Nicholas Anderson, died abroad a few years ago. He is a Harvard graduate and was 4as- sociated with Robert T. Lincoln in_ the United States Ambassy at Lordon, and later was first secretary of Jegation in Italy under Wayne MacVeagh. The ceremony was performed by_ Rev. John Cuckson jin the Arlingtor Street Church at noon, and among those present were some of the most wealthy and prominent members of society of nearly every large city cf the United States. The historic auditorium was beautifully decorated. The bridal bell, one of the largest ever Coli- structed, was suspended from the ceiling by strands of broad whit? satin ribbon. | Each column of the chureh was wound with asparagus and delicate vines ald great ropes of long-stemmed roses trained on the vines were suspended between the pillars and across the altar. The reserved pews were marked off by wide wh.te satin ribbons, which at each pew were knotted to hoid in place a cluster of white roses. When the hour for the performance of the ceremony arrived the organ broke into the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, and the bridal party entered, pre- ceded. by ushers and bridemaids and the maid of honor, Miss LEi.zabeth Anderson, sister of the groom. M.8s Perkins pro- ceeded to the altar, leaning upon the arin of her father. Two ladies, dressed as six- teenth century pages, followed the bride as the train bearers. As the bride neared the head of the broad center aisle, Mr. An- derson, who was accompanied by Charles Francis Adams. the second, as best man, advanced, and meeting Miss Perkins be- neath the floral bell, they stood together before the clergyman. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party proceeded to the Perkins home, on Commonwealth avenue, where the wedding breakfast was served upon @ temporary bal- cony, which had been built_in the rear of the mansion. The beautiful décorations in the church were surpassed by those at the house. .The bay windows were banked and garlanded with growing plants and white roses. Around the rooms were draped beautiful tapestries from corner to corner, and their folds were filled with roses. From the center of the walls of the main rooms ropes of*long-stemmed roses attached to asparagus vines radiated to the ceiling. he candelabra supported pouches of white silk, filled with bridal roses, till the effect of bursting was produced. In the great Sawing room were tables holding the presents. The break- fast tables were heautifully garnished with flowers. After breakfast, following which a reception esis held, the couple departed for New York, en route to Europe and the far East as were: Miss Eleanor rey, Be hagy: ms ere Dalton, Miss Theodore Knight and Mis6 Bessie wy een A The ewns of the bride and bridemaids were he creations of Worth, Doucet and Faxon.

OURAY, Colo., June 10.—A waterspout flooded the country hereabout last nigiit. The Republican River rose rapidly, carry- ing away the bridges and sweeping away and drewning stock in the valley. Trains are delayed and are running cautiously. Hail accompanied the rain and in a few minutes fell to the depth of several inches. Hailstones the size of hen’s «vgs, or even larger, fell at first and ‘it is feared they killed cattle and horses on che ranges. So far as known at present no lives have been lost. The extent of damage to growing crops cannot be estimated, but it is feared that it is immense. GEN. LEE’S REPORT. It Was Obtained by the New York Journal and Peddled Out. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Jun: 10.—The latest dental PILING IT UP, The Sugar Trust Accumulating Mil- lions by the Delay in Passing the Tariff Bill. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 10.—The Sugar Trust has given the country a new example of its thrifty habits. By an extraordinary v0ol- ume of importationa, just prior to the adop- tion of the Dingley tariff, # hes saved for its treasury something like $12,000,000 at the expense of the Government. The full stock on hand in the storehouses of the Trust is now estimated at 650,000 tons. The accu- mulation has been very rapid. By the time that the Dingley tariff goes into effect there is every reason to believe that the Trust will have 800,000 tons in stock, which will represent a saving of $12,000,000 in the item of import duty alone. This supply will be sufficient to supply the refineries for the next four months, and it will be November 1 before the Govern- ment will begin to realize anything on the | proposed increase of duty on importations of responsibility for the premature pudlica- | tion of Gen. Lee’s report on the Ruiz case | of raw sugar. The Sugar Trust is the chief gainer by comes from Mr. Fishback. The facts in the| the delay in the passage of the tariff bill, case are very plain.

SEES ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENTS Will Not Discuss the Post’s Future, but Says It Is Not in Jeopardy. Maj.-Gen. J. R. Brooke, commander of the Department of Missouri, / at Jefferson Rar- racks, making his first acqnaintance with the post. He is here, he says, for the first time in his army career, to acquaint him- self with the needs of the barracks, just as, in turn, he is to visit cach other post in his command. The visit, Gen. Brooke declares, has noth- ing to do with the movemeén:s of any troops or infantry, and he has not come to decide the fate of the barracks. He talks as if the post’s future did not stand In feopardy. Attended by his aide, Lieut. Quay and Col, Lee, Chief Quartermaster of the Depart- ment, Gen. Brooke reached Jefferson Bar- racks from Chicago Thursday morning, at 8:27 o’clock, over the Iron Mountain road. . He was received at the station with cus- tomary honors by Major Wessels, comman- der of the post, and Troops A, D, H, K, I and B in full dress uniform. The party alighted from the coach to the boom of cannon and was escorted down the file of troopers presenting drawn sabers. The mule caravansary bearing the guests was escorted to the dwelling of the post commander, where Gen. Brooke is to Be entertained. There was a review in the afternoon. Gen. Brooke set about inspecting the post within an hour after his arrival. He was shown around by Major Wessels, with Or- derly John Hart hovering in the wake of the warriors, awaiting their slightest pleas- ure. First the old gray barracks were in- spected, then in turn the commissary and ordinance departments, the stables, the of- ficers’ quarters, the jail and a stray shot was taken at the old canteen. “There is nothing mysterious or secret about my visit and nothing of par- ticular moment to it,” said General Brooke. “It may be said openly that I command in assuming the new duties of Department Commander, and next, to de- termine upon the needs of the barracks, in the way of improvements. “Although for fourteen years I served in the Department of Missouri, before my late assignment in the Department of the Da- kota, I have not hitherto visited Jefferson Barracks. So I shall have only scant time dur'ng my stay here, till Friday evening, to become familiar with conditions, as I wish to know them. “As for improvements that may be made I can not, of course, say anything. That ts what I am here to Inquire Into. But the ant‘quity of many of the buildings,”’ Gen. Brooke continued, with a sweep of his hand toward the gray, old piles, long used as living quarters, “indicates that improve- ments are needed and whatever is needed, of course, will be afforded. I can not dis- cuss the probab'lities about these Improve- ments. I will not know for some time what buildings are to be erected.” The Commander of the Missouri wae asked what effect his visit might have upon the movement of troops or infantry. “Not a bit~—I am not here on anybody's else mission,”’ he answered. “What may be determined regarding the future of Jefferson Barracks I cannot even guess at this time. I do not hesitate to say that I Know of no intention of moving away any of the troops now here, nor of bringing in any infantry, as rumor has it slated.” “No one has any right to assume that this post is to be humiliated In rank or equipment. Indeed, proposed improvements argue quite to the contrary.” TOBACCO TRUST TRIAL. Rival Detectives Plying Their Work in the Court-Room. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

Becretary Graves of the Council Re- fusés to Allow New Bills to. Be Inspected. “Bor ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the Ziegenhein push is peculiar.” The administration is getting ready to in- troduce salary grab and steal bills which will not stand public scrutiny. The Uthoff bill was scrutinized and now the Uthoff bill is dead. To save its successors from a like dire fate the tender things are to be protected from the public’s rude gaze. The rule of Secretary Graves of the Coun- cil to this effect “‘goes.”” Mayor Ziegenhein Gays 80. He was asked Friday what he thought of the rule. “I don’t know nothing about the rules of the Council,” he said, ‘but the members of the Council are thirteen of the best men in St. Louis, and Secretary Graves is too. Whatever they do is all right.’’ “Do you approve of the suppression of in- formation which the public has a right to?” The Mayor flopped his wings and went way up in the alr. “This is a wide open administration,” he shouted. ‘‘The door of my office is always open. Don't acuse this administration of supressing news.” “But the secretary of the Council refuses to let anybody see bills in his custody.”’ “Well, don't know nothing about that. They have a right to make their own rules and I won't interfere with them.” Mr. Graves is firm. He was asked Thurs- day for the bill compelling amateur photo- graphers to pay a license of $100 a year. “You can’t see it without an order,” he Baid. “Why ?"’ “Because the rules say I must keep it in my custody.’”’ ‘Nobody wants to take it out of your eustody.”’ “But you might make some change In it when I wasn’t looking.” “Will you allow members of the Council to see pending bills?’’ He hesitated. “Yes,” he said, finally. “I would let a member of the Council see a Dill because 1 would have confidence in him—I would know that hé wouldn’t make any changes in it.’’ “When may any one else see a bill?”’ “After it is printed. “How are the newspapers to obtain in- formation about pending measures?’ “There is a long reporters’ table out there in the Council chamber. The papers have the privilege of hiring stenographers to take down the proceedings.”’ If it had occurred to Mr. Graves to make his little rule before the. Uthoff bill was introduced that atrocious measure would now be a iaw and the raid on the treasury would be in full blast. The salary grab in that bill was so art- fully concealed that it took hours of study and exhaustive comparisons with existing ordinances to discover it. Mr. Graves says the Wittenberg bill may be seen after it is printed. It will not be printed until after it is pased. There will be no object in suppressing it en. Nobody has seen the bill since the Com- mittee on Ways and Means of the House dabbled with it in secret session. After that committee meeting Chairman Watson refused to let it be seen. It could not be seen in the office of Secretary Martin. As s00n as the House passed it, it was rushed over to the Council. It is now jealously guarded under lock and key. ere is a strong suspicion that a pro- vision nae been Smuggied into the bill which will make it e equal in iniquity of the Uthoff bill. ‘ — TEXAS INVESTIGATION.

Budd ‘4 that the Habeas corpus proceedings and the ap- peal incident to the dental of the writ sued out by Durrant’s attorneys does not act as a stay of proceedings. In other words, the Governor desires that the Supreme Court pass upon the opinion rendered by Attorney General Fitzgerald, holding that the pro ceedings do constitute a stay. ; THE SENATE. . Agricultural Amendment to the Tariff Bill Defeated. WASHING’QON, D. C., June 10.—The Senate began work: at 11 o'clock to-day, and the tariff bill was taken’ up as soon as the routine business was out of the way. Mr. Tillman (8. C.) took the floor on the pending amendment of Mr. Cannon (Utah), providing an export bounty on agricultural products. He said he desired the attention of his associates, and as the attendance was meagre, he noted the absence of a quorum. The call disclosed fifty-four Senators pres- ent, nine more than a quorum, and Mr, T-.ll- man proceeded. He said the tariff debate had disclosed a nebulous condition in the minds of Sena- tors. The Republican Senators sat quietly, apparently controlled by the caucus, refus- ing to @iscuss the iniquities of the bill and unanimously voting for the exactions in be- half of trusts and monopolies. The amendment was defeated. Senator Jones of Arkansas opened the tariff debate in a speech opposing the new sugar schedule. He said there should be a single rate on raw and. refined sugar g‘v- ing one-eighth of a cent-additional, which would make the rate plain. Mr. Jones concluded at 3.10 and Mr. Vest took the floor to speak on the sugar sched- ule. The House. WASHINGTON, June 10.—The House to- day passed two comparatively unimportant oqoraons. and then adjourned until Mon- aay. the marks of a’ restless night, and his countenance was pallid. He was acompanied by his sister, two cousins and an aunt. Prosecuting Attorney Woodson read the instructions to the jury, and Senator Sim- rall, attorney for the accused, followed with the instructions for the defendant. ‘The defendant.’’ said Simrall, ‘is not only pre- sumably innocent, according to the ordi- nary custoni of law; but there is an added presumtion because the murdered persons were the mother and sister of the defend- ant.”’ J. J. Williams began the opening argu- ment for the state. OUT OF DANGER. Manager of the Granite Rolling Mills Will Recover. Henry L. Niedringhaus, manager of the Granite Rolling Mills, has been lying at the poing of death for, several days at the Bap- tist. Hospital, which was formerly the res- idence property of his brother, the ex-Con- gressman. His physician said Thursday that he had improved rapidly during the past twenty-four hours and will recover. Mr. Niedringhaus was taken sick in De- troit ten days ago and becoming alarmed telegraphed for Dr. E. #&. Furney of 2905 Chestnut street. The doctor went at once and returned with his patient whom he pro- nounces out of danger. It will bo recalled that Mr. Niedringhaus is the father of the young scion of that house who married Miss Thiel. DR. CONGOSTO’sS SIDE. engineer, collarbone and shoul- His Joint Report With Gen. Lee Is Expected Soon. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.—Mr. Cal- houn was at the State Department again to-day, and had another long conference with Assistant Secretary Day. This being diplomatic day the Spanish Minister, Senor Dupuy de Lome, was among the callers, and had an opportunity to exchange views with the special counsel in the presence of Judge Day. Mr. Calhoun intends to go home to Danville, Ih, to-night, having delayed so long only for the purpose of a further conference with Assistant Secretary Day. He made it clear to the Assistant Secretary tnat he had not been guilty of the indis- creet utterances attributed to him in some newspapers upon his arrival at New York recently. i Dr. Congesto, the en sh Consul at Philadelphia, who with Consul-General Lee formed the commission to inquire into the facts connectéd with the death of Dr. Ruiz, is expected in Washington to-mor- row. He will bring with him probably two reports, one the joint reports by himself and Gen. Lee, and the other, an individual report, such as Gen. Lee submitted to the State Departnrent, through Mr. F'shback, though not by any means reaching the same conclus‘ons; It is expected Dr. Con- gosto’s individual report wll go to show that Dr. Ruiz died in jail from self-inflicted injuries, while suffering from temporary ab- erration of the mind, and that he was well cared for during his confinement. It is also prcbable that Dr. Congosto has giv- en some attention to the subject of the nat- ural.zation of Ruiz and has endeavared to show there was at least @ reasonable doubt upon that’ point, which justified the treat- ment of the case in a fashion different from that usually adopted.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 10.—An open parliament following the reading of several papers was the programme at the forenoon session to-day of the second annual con- vention of the National Credit Men. The first paper was by A. L. Reddan of New Orleans, on “Mercantile Agencies,”’ and re- port of committee thereon. G. H. Hovey of Chicago took for his topic “‘Business Litera- ture,’’ and S&S. Conover of New York “Credit Department Methods.’’ In the numrous discussions that ensued the read- ing of the papers, the mercantile agencies were given an opportunity to address the convention and discuss the mercantile agency service. In Mr. Reddan’s absence his paper was read by : L. Glick of Cincinnati. It dwelt at length on the methods used by the mercantile agencies and suggested im- provements in the present system of re- porting. It was answered on the part of R. G. Dun & Co. by W. T. Rolph of Louisville, who declared that the mercantile agencies had improved as much in the last thirty years ag had electricity. The agencies were ever ready to assist the credit men in any way possible, but he thought some of the suggestions made by Mr. Reddan were not practicable. J. C. Swain of Kansas City answered for Bradstreet & Co., taking a similar stana with Rolph. Mr. O’Neill of Omaha talked about trade reporting. Eighty per cent of the reports which merchants receive in regard to the financial standing of other merchants, said he, come from lawyers, and 80 per cent of that is given without pay. His remarks were applauded. A lengthy discussion resulted in the adoption of a motion, offered by Mr. Stand- art of Denver, to the effect that it was the sense of the convention that mercantile agencies should use hieroglyphics in their reports indicating whether the rating of now pending in Congress were referred to requested to make a report on the two measures, On motion of Mr. Gillean of New Orleans the Torrey and Nelson bankrupte¢y. bills. now pending in Congress were referred to the Committee on Resolutions, which was requested to make a report on. the two measures. Telegrams and letters from a fhumber of cities, putting forth inducements for the next convention, were read. The yote will be taken to-morrow, and it seems likely that Saratoga, N. Y., will win. The programme this afternoon includes addresses by W. C. Winsbrough, New York; John Field, Philadelphia; J. G. Cannon, New York, and Judge Jay L. Torrey, St. Louis, and the election of a national Pres- ident and Vice President. The Steamship Mevements.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.—It is ru- mored here that the report of Gen. Lee on the Ruiz investigation was given out in Havana with the knowledge of Lee, who wanted to make its publication certain. He was not fortunate in getting his reports either before the public or Congress while Mr. Olney was Secretary of State and he did not want to be bottled up again. It is explained that two New York papers got the report under pledge not to use it until the original reached here. Sufficient time elapsed and one printed it. The other followed the next day, having miscalcu- lated the time necessary for it to reach here. It is now alleged that President McKinley will demand an apology to the nation us well as the payment of $150,000 to Ruiz’s family as indemnity. It is also said that the President will attempt to secure home rule for the island at the same time and obtaining Spain's consent thereto, would force Gomez to accept it in order to end the war. All kinds of reports are still nu- merous and every correspondent thinks he has the exact Cuban plan of the President. The plan here outlined is believed to em- brace the general drift of the President's intentions. out at Penny & Gentiles’ Price OS cvceccee sos eneeessaboe-+0008e0 HOSIERY.

Under this head will be grouped all the evidence proving the existence and main- tenance of a successful rebellion. The sec- tions and areas controlled by the Cuban in- surgents and by the Spanish will be esti- mated and contrasted. The note will then assert: That Spain has failed and is impotent to protect the lives and property of American citizens. The tale of destruction, death and disaster under this head is a heavy one. The re- ports of Consul General Lee, the American Consuls and the various affidavits of Ameri- can citizens will be appended as exhibits, together with a review of the claims al- ready filed. The third point is very grave: Spain has failed to comply with its treaty obligations. Every instance in which an American has been illegally arrested and confined will be adduced. The cold array will make a heavy account to liquidate. Under these three heads will be arranged the reasons why the United States now of- fers mediation. These facts are not sug- gested, but asserted. Following these statements, the report will become argumentative. First—It will go into the reasons why Spain cannot subdue the rebels. The fact that Spain is powerless to pacify the in- eurgents and potent only to starve and an- nihilate some thousands of innocent pa- Cificos will be exposed in plain but courteous Giplomatic phrases. Second—The note will suggest the effects naturally flowing from the recognition of either belligerency or independence of the bans. An intimation will be given that the United States is forced to recognize e independence of Cuba, the island will take its place and rank immediately, and by that very act, in the family of American nations. ‘From and after that moment Spain will be an intruder, striving to force servitude on a people psaggt ee y the aegis of the American policy. This portion of the — als with a clear enunciation of a reco mized principle. When the text is made pub- lic it will be considered as a notable decla- ration of one phase of the Monroe doctrine. It will be no enlargement of the present policy, but a lucid explanation of its adapt- ability to present circumstances. Third—The United States will then offer its good offices as a mediator. Two points will be relied upon to carry conviction to Spain. Under present conditions, if Cuba succeeds as a recognized belligerent, or through the intervention of the United States, in —— independence, Spain will be unable to saddle upon her any of the present bonded Spanish debt. It will be urged that if Spain accedes to the mediation of the United States an eqult- able and proper division of the burden of war can be made. An indemnity is to be paid by Cuba, to be determined by arbitral methods if such be necessary, and larg* enough to cover a fair valuation of Spanish property in Cuba or to offset the proportion of Spanish bonds now paid out of Cuban revenues. Special Commissioner Calhoun and As- istant Secretary of State Day yesterday evoted eome time to the Ruiz case. The testimony does not show how the American came to his death. It does not show whether he was struck on the head or in is delirium hit hts head aga‘nst the door. he wound might have been caused in either way. The United States will pro- ceed to claim $150,000 indemnity, on the ound that Spain was responsible for the eath, no matter how the injury was re- ceived. Te fact that Dr. ulz was an merican ~ known as such to the author- ties is s! n in the test!mony. The Pr dent ts hopeful that the war in Cuba ifs .«earing its end. He went away on his om in good sp!rite over the prospect of a gradual and peaceful solution of the most important diplomatic business before the Administration. The encouragement was due in part to the conferences held with Special Commissioner Calhoun and in pert to unofficial information received as to ain’s intentions, Mr. Calhoun told of conversations had with influential Cubans. He expressed the fy deh that some plan of this kind, honest- y insuring self-government to Cuba, would be the best solution. He did not favor im- mediate independence. He thought the noreee is not ready for it, and would be : utonom trial, he bel'eved, en eee e President did not express his opinion but his questions seemed to indicate that he had formed impressions favorable to autonomy and wished to know if Mr. Cal- houn’s obeervations sustained such views. The question of acceptance by the insur- gents of this kind of a settlement was dis- cussed. Gomez would stop at nothing but independence. Mr. Calhoun believes that the Sentiment on the island will be eo over- whelmingly in favor of peace with auton- omy that the few who might be disposed to continue fighting will be forced to yield and accept the terms. CUBAN VICTORIEs. Beveral Engagements in Which the Spanish Troops Were Worsted. HAVANA, June 10.—Four thousand ineur- Sents from the Eastern Department, led by Generals Rodriguez and Quint!n Banderas, have crossed Matanzas, entered Havana Province south of Madruga, and are now menacing the town of Buines. Another Cuban expedition, bringing arms and munitions from Florida, has safely run the Spanish blockade. It disembarked yes- terday at Guanabo, near Bucuranato, and about 10 miles east of Guanabacoa. An in- Surgent force under Rafael Cardenas met the filibusters and escorted them with their cargo to the mountains of Casiguas where Gen. Alejandro Rodriguez, Chief of Havana Province, awaited the convoy.

Two S$Spanish Cap- tains, a Lieutenant and sixteen privates were killed and the rebels compelled the column to retire in great disorder. In another engagement upon the La Luisa sugar estate, near Port Cabanas, between Mariel and Bahia Honda, the Spanish col- umn had thirty killed and upward of 100 wounded. From Santiago de Cuba a special dispatch gives details of a fight near Manzanillo, in which forty Spanish regulars were killed and many wounded. The majority of the dead bore the marks of the Cuban ma- chete. Government reports say that more than thirty rebels were killed. A nephew of the Cuban General, Periquito Perez, was captured yesterday in a skir- mish near Guantanamo, in Eastern Cuba.

NEW YORK, June 10.—A dispatch from Havana says: It is believed here now that the long supressed news of affairs in Madrid has been made public that Gen. Weyler’s What is to be known as a “‘Red, white and | blue American army for the liberation of Cuba’”’ has been organized as an auxiliary of the League. The membership cards are colored red white and blue. The person signing a red card pledges himself to take or send each week for three months the sum of 5 cents to such receiving agent as may be appointed iby the ESverene body of the League. The white card pledges the signer to sub- scribe for a given amount of Cuban bonds of small denominations at 60 cents on the dollar of the par value. The blue cards call for weekly subscrip- tions of 25 cents for a. period of three months. The grey | members of the League, which has its headquarters at No. 115 Broadway, think that at least 1,000,000 of the 25-cent cards will be iseued, yielding a total sub- scription in three months of $3,000,000, or enough to put the Cuban army on an ag- gressive basis. CAPT. MURPHY’S CASES. One Charge Against Him Tried and One Continued. KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 10.—The au- thorities at Port Antonio have fined Capt. Edward Murphy of the steamer Laurada £100. The charge against him was a breach of the foreign enlistment act. Capt. Murphy is under $1,500 bail for his appearance in the United States istrict Court at Wilmington, Del., charged with DR. RUIZ’ HAT, MENTIONED BY GEN : LEE AS IMPORTANT EVIDENCE. (Now in the possession of Mrs, Ruiz.) return to Spain will be the most tmportant result of Canovas’ success in reteining power. Private telegrams have been sent to persons here in which it was distinctly stated that Campos, Rominguez and Pidal had given their support to Canovas only with the plain stipulation that Gen. Weyler should go. In fact, it is felt here that Campos, who is now in power in Spain and fills the pop- ular eye, would not on any account lend himself to the continuation of Gen. Wey- ler’s policy. The plan is to send Gen. Marin from Porto Rico and then supplant him in turn by Gen. Blanco or Campos, A correspondent in Sagua La Grande re- ports that just previous to Gen. Weyler’s return to Havana he encountered some of Gomez’ forces, near Sancti Spiritus, under command of Gomez himself, and was forced to retreat, leaving fifty dead on the field and 100 prisoners in the hands of the rebels. a has been neglected in official 8.

Glass, an American merchant in the Philippines, writes graph- ically of cruelties practiced there both by the Spaniards and the _ insurrectionary party, which, although on a smaller scale, surpass anything told of the butcheries of Weyler in Cuba. ‘‘The horrors of warfare with the Ameri- can Indians,” he says, “the tales of the In- quisition, the barbarities of the Middle Ages, the punishments of a Chinese prison, are as nothing compared with the barbari- ties daily witnessed here. The combatants vie with each other in devising tortures and excrutiating methods of death for their risoners. The rebel who is court-mar- ialed and shot on his capture has reason to congratulate himself. To tell the truth, one cannot wonder that the Spanish offi- cers should deem death a fitting punish- ment for ther captives after the treat- ment to which their own men are subjected when they fall into the rebels’ hands. But it would seem that the execution of the death sentence would be considered the ex- treme length to which men enw | them- selves civilized should feel justified in go- ing. It is actually the mildest punishment they know. “The rebels, on the other hand, say they would be glad to fight according to the rules of civilized warfare were they not forced to retaliatory measures by the Span- ijards. For my part I do not believe this. Some of the leaders of the uprising are humane and moderate men, but the rank and file are savages, whose touch of civili- zation only makes them more ingenious in the devise of tortures for their victims. “Let me give you an example of Span- ish mercy: Hernan 4@’Alvarez was the grand-son of a anish officer of the same there before the birth of intention of extends, an appearance.

Though the ma- jority are good Catholics, they are agreed that in such a case, if no other; suicide is justifiable. “Many women have taken part with the rebels, and a number are in command of bands of their own. It seems impossible to believe, but they are even more cruel than the men. Most of those who are in the field have already lost male relatives, and are wild for revenge. “The Spaniards are continually claimin that the rebellion is dead, but, to my mind, they are making no great progress. It is true that the insurrectionists are carrying on nothing more than a guerrilla warfare, but as many bands are in the fleld to-day as at any time during the uprising, and re- cruits are daily drifting to their standards.” It’s Cool in July On tablelands and mountains of New Mexico and Arizona, where Santa Fe crosses continent.

Mayor Ziegenhein will confer a great favor on St. Louis if he will have himself represented by proxy on public occasions, AN OFFICIAL BRIBER. The Post-Dispatch has expressed the opinion that the Legislature which re- cently dispersed from Springfield, II1., was the most brazen aggregation of thieves, boodlers and bribe-takers that ever assembled under the alias of a leg- islative body. As soon as its members have all departed, Springfield should be thoroughly fumigated and its citizens should add to the Litany a petition for deliverance from such afflictions in the future. There is just one point from which the performances of that body can be viewed with complacence. Public attention has _| beer aroused by it, and it is realized that ex-Congressman Butterworth of Ohio spoke truly when he said that corruption in our legislatures has become a menace to the republic. In searching for remedies, the efficacy of tar and feathers and rail-riding is apt to occur to thorough-going minds. But before this is resorted to it may be worth while to consider a remedy suggested some time ago by a well known Califor- nian, now a resident of New York.’ His suggestion was that the people should elect an Official Briber, whose duty it should be to buy sufficient votes in cor- rupt legislative bodies to counteract the now num gy # will be idle July 1....

Republican government in Illinois was not always so degraded in the executive arm. Governor Fifer, in 1891, vetoed a corporation bill filled with possibilities of monopoly and railroad-wrecking on the lines of the Elsworth robberies of the Wabash by the Gould-Dillon-Humphreys cabal. The bill had been put through un- der corporation pressure, by the sneaking process. There had been no general pub- lic outery against it and its strongest Supporters were Fifer’s partisans. But Fifer was big enough, honest enough, and courageous enough to see its dishonest Purpose, so he vetoed it. And that act shines the more illustrious by comparison because the same object in a more vicious form, and involving wider extension of the bad principle of the original measure, is served in a bill which has passed this Assembly and been signed by Tanner. Fifer, as Governor, had his limitations, but it can be said to his honor that he and Tanner did not agree on policies or methods of either party or public govern. ment. Just now, we think, Fifer could ask no higher eulogium. ——— oe OUR ANARCHIST MAYOR. | St. Louis has an Anarchist Mayor. An Anarchist is a man who defies the laws and advises other people to defy them. Mayor Ziegenhein has flouted the law against smoking and spitting in the street cars and advised others to violate it. He said to the members of the visiting Nur- serymen’s Association: “We have a law here which says yout shall not smoke while occupying certain Seats in the street cars, but I want you nurserymen to distinctly understand that you can smoke wherever you please. No matter whether you have a 25-cent cigar or @ S-cent ‘2-for,’ smoke all you please. “We also have a law against spitting on the floor of street cars. I will say to you gentlemen that you may Spit as often as you please on the floor of any street car in this great convention city. If the conductor jumps on you just tell him you are a nur. seryman and that I told you to spit. Then if he doesn’t let you alone, already, and a polleeman comes after you, go with him to the station. Then get telephone connec- tions with the Mayor's office. I will order you released at onee, “And if you take a notion to spit on the car ceiling instead of the floor, why, just spit-on the ceiling. I will see you through tafely while you are our guests, no mat- ter what you do.”’ The Post-Dispatch wiil not discuss this extraordinary utterance from the stand- point of good taste. Nobody expects g00d taste from Mayor Ziegenhein. It was pre- dicted before he was elected that he would discredit the city in precisely this man- difficulties of our present situation to the necessity of redeeming government notes in gold. He ignores the right, power and duty of the government, expressed in the law, to redeem a large part of our re- deemable currency in silver. He admits the disease, but denies the obvious and legal remedy. But in the closing part Of the paper, in providing means, as he can- didly admits, fo? getting the silver ques- tion “thoroughly under control,” Mr. Lit- tle proposes that silver certificates, in de- nominations under ten dollars, shall be issued in exchange for silver dollars, and that silver certificates of a larger denom- ination shall be redeemed with silver coin and cancelled. And at this point the inconsistency of his entire scheme appgars. For in safe- guarding the government against a run of silver coin and certificate holders for gold, he stipulates that, to meet such an emergency, the government shall redeem 40 per cent of the silver certificates in silver. In other words, while insisting that the government shall not now pay silver to protect the gold reserve, Mr. Little ad- mits that such payment is an easy way of avoiding danger, and that it should be adopted after the greenbacks have been retired and the National Banks are flood- ing the country with their corporation credit paper money. We use the word “flooding” advisedly, for Mr, Little admits that his scheme is one of “inflation.” Not an inflation of money of “intrinsic value.” Not an infla- tion of coin money; of cash money; of money of any commodity value at all. But, to use his own words: “The large increase in bank notes that would be brought about by the changes in the banking laws -aiermed yw, wosld satisfy <ne most ambitious inflationist.”’ The power to inflate the paper currency involves the power to contract that cur- rency, and the Little “plan,” if made a law, would involve also the power to wipe out the entire silver circulation under that provision of it which authorizes the government to cancel silver certificates after redeeming them. A little extension of this power, on the lines already suggested by Mr. Carlisle, would force the retirement of all silver nor pe “as a means of maintaining par- y.” _— The silver Republicans at Chicago re- solved that “The Silver Republican party of the United States favors the imme- diate establishment of bimetallism by the independent action of the United States, through the free coinage of both silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1, and the clothing of both metals equally with every attribute of full money, with the right to every debtor to choose which coin shall be the basis of payment.” This would nerve Mr. McKinley, who was at one time an ardent silver man. to direct his influence toward the restoration of Congress are endeavoring to shut out all foreign goods from this country.

The House could discuss and pass a measure on the subject if it would, but it will not do so, but will sit idly twirl- ing its thumbs and adjourn when the Ding- ley bill becomes a law. The President and his friends created the International Bimetallic Conference Commission, with Senator Wolcott of Colorado at its head, and sent it to Europe for the professed purpose of securing an international monetary conference, at which the United States would prge the restora- tion of silver equally witn gold as a money metal.

He Thinks Prosperity Is Here, but the Federal Offices Are Coming Very Slowly. Col. R. C. Kerens returned from Wash- ington Thursday morning and held a levee throughout the day at his office in the Se- curity Building. Hie visitors were generally from the country, but there was a fa'r sprinkling of city statesmen, among them a little dele- gation headed by Col. William V. Wolcott, who still takes a quiet interest in politics. Col. Kerens was in the finest humor. Con- fentment was apparent in his face and he called everybody by the front name. “A new era has dawned upon the coun- try,”’ he eaid, as he rubbed his knees w.th his hands and let many volts of electrical thrills pass through his system. ‘“‘I say it is a new era when Senators from the South- ern Siates will raise the banner of protec- tion in behalf of the best material interests of this courtry. “The long night is passed,” he added, presently, and the Post-Dispatch reporter noted with surprise the Colonel’s lapse into poetry. ‘Better times are not even coming. They are Tight here. There is a better feeling in every section. Wages are not going down. The terrible stringerfcy is gone. Business has resumed its natural condition, and there are wages and work for all, “The tariff bill is moving along rapidly and will soon be passed. I don’t think the country has complained or will complain of tardiness on that score, and, with the new tariff measure, readjustment of financial conditions will come to increase the present prosperity.” “What about the offices?’ was asked. *“*Are they coming, also?” The Colonel paused a moment, and his ace changed to a sadder apearance. Then e answered slowly: ‘Che boys are not getting the offices he “You see, the tariff question absorbs verything. Business is the one topic of the our, and I think the Republican party Its demonstrating that it is neither a party of spoilg nor of quick changes in the official patranage of government. “There have been no removals since Pres- ident McKinley came into office. Expiring commissions even have been slowly fol- lowed by the appointment of competent Re- publicans.”’ “Are you yp = bao! aad giving a picnic here for your friends?” “No,”’ said the Colonel, laughing. ‘I am not going to give any picnics. I shall go at once to Nashville and see the Tennes- pee Exposition.’’ A visitor pushed his way into the private office and said: “Colonel, I am off for New York at noon. When will you be in Washington again?’’ “In about one week,” said the Colonel. “Telegraph me at the Waldorf when you reach the capital.’’ And the visitor disappeared. But he had solved the problem of Col. Kerens’ ro- gramme of travel, and the faithful will be delighted to learn that the Missour! direc- tor of the Federal pie counter is ticketed. for an early return to the bakery. It had been announced in the morning newspapers of Tuesday, following the de- parture of Col. Kerens from Washington, that he would return East no more this summer, and there was widespread and sickening disappointment in Missour! in consequence. This condition will now be changed to one of renewed hopefulness and joy, for the Colonel !s surely going back to Washington “in about a week.’’ “T would like to have a week or two of good fishing and hunting,” he said, “but I am too busy just now to indulge myself in that way.”’ Col. Schaurte resumed his labor of ad- mitting the procession of applicants for office, ‘and the cab rolled on.”’ LOVE TURNED TO HATE. August Bang Made Trouble About Mrs. : Rittenhouse’s Daughter. For a long time August Bang boarded with Mrs. Ausby F. Rittenhouse at 4328 Vista avenue. The neighborhood is an aris- tocratic one and the fact that Mrs. Ritten- house had two daughters, Leonora and Muriel, both handsome and attractive, made it a desirable boarding place. August does not board there any more and the friendly feelings that formerly ex- fisted between Bang and the Rittefilhouse family were rudely severed. August took exceptions to Miss Leonora receiving at-. tention from any one save himself and when he registered a protest to Mrs. Rit- tenhouse he was promptly told to hunt a new boarding-house. Instead he took to drink. Saturday night he was very drunk when he called at his former boarding place and wanted to be again taken into the fold. He was given the marble heart. Then he wanted to tell onora how much he loved her. Even this was denied him and the door was pointed out to him and he was requested to close {it from the outside. Then his love turned to hate. He hurled vile ephithets at the girl he had professed to love so devotedly only a few moments before and threatened to tear the house down. He drew a revolver and flourished it angrily. A policeman was called and a was locked up. The case was reviewed in Judge Pea- body's Court Thursday morning. Leonora and Muriel were present and told their J conv in 80 artless a manner as to carry conviction. Judge Peabody fined August $25 for disturbing the peace and added an- Other $% for carrying concealed weapons. SADIE AYRES IS DEAD. Her Body Is in Chicago Waiting to Be Claimed.

The: motion has not yet been passed upon, NEW WORK-HOUSE WANTED. A Plan to Save Tax-Payers in East St. Louis. Chief of Police Herman Hauss of East St. Louis wants a county Workhouse estab- lished at Falling Springs, seven miles southeast of East St. Louis, and the sys- tem of sending East St. Louis prisoners to Belleville abolished. “My plan,”’ said he, “is to ask the co- operation of the St. Clair County author!- ties, the Belleville City Council and the East St. Louis authorities in the purchase of rock quarries at Falling Springs, where we can send prisoners jointly for minor misdemeanors. By* conducting the Work- house economically I believe it can be made & paying investment. “Hundreds of prisoners are sent from East St. Louis to Belleville annually, and East St. Louis is burdened with not only the railroad fare, but must bear the cost of boarding the prisoners while they are serving their sentences in the Work- house, which is no small item of. expense. “The present system is a good thing for the railroads and those individuals in Belle- ville who board our prisoners, but it seems an extravagant, if not altogether useless outlay of the people’s money. FR. TUOHY IS NOT AFRAID. Will Not Resign and Welcomes an Ec- clesiastical Trial. Rev. J. T. Tuohy of St. Patrick’s Church views his forthcoming trial by an Ecclesi- astical Court, before which ‘he is about to be summoned by Archbishop Kain, with complacent serenity. Charges have not yet_been received by Fr. Tuohy, but he said Thursday morning that he had received a letter from the Archbishop requesting a _ definite reply to the latter’s request for Fr. Tuohy’s resig- n 2 * et cannot consent to publish the letter, said Fr. Tuohy, “‘first, because the corre- spondence is not yet ended, and second, | have no desire to follow the Archbishop 8 example of trying this case in the news- "note what the Archbishop is reported to have said concerning his ecclesiastic al court, and it is substantially correct. [ shall be satisfied with any court the Arch- r name. "Tt apote, | 906, I ought to thank His Grace for so kindly giving me another op- portunity to resign before sub ecting me to the ordeal of an inquisition. It was very good of him,” added ‘Fr. Tuohy, with a touch of sarcasm. 3 “But uader no_cir umstances will I Fe. . If there is any reasonable pole ge J oimplaint of my administration we will let the court pass upon it, and I will then know what to do. But I have no intention of gratifying the Archbishop in the way he suggests, and I eo told him in a communication which I regret he did not received before he penned his last letter to me. which it is to be inferred that Fr. Pliny has enlisted for the war, and is ready to meet his accusers. Meanwhile it is said influences are being brought to bear on the Archbishop, look- ing to a settlement of the matter without an ecclesiastical trial. Fr. Tuohy's letter to the Archbishop, which the latter had not received when he wrote his second letter requestin Fr. Tuohy’s resignation, was most concillatory and respectful. He disclaimed any intent to show disrespect by his visit to Wash- ington, and particularly denied responsi- bility for the news dispatches from Wash- ington concerning the case. He expressed the greatest respect for the Archbishop's sq Fy A but could not consent to place himself in the position of the man whe wag hanged first and tried afterwards, SAMPLE PACKAGE SENT ASK YOUR DRUCCIST FOR PARKER'S HEADACHE POWDERS A POSITIVE CURE FOR MOST SEVERE FORMS OF SICK AND NERVOUS HEADACHE, Neuralgia, Dizziness, Fevers and Pain.

M’KINLEY PROSPERITY PUTS A CRIMP IN EDUCATION. LOCAL UNIVERSITY SUFFERS. Loss of Pupils and Shrinkage in Se- curities Necessitates Retrenchment at Washington Univorsity. The continued business depression, with its consequent demand for retrenchment and eccnomy, has made several changes necessary at the Washington University. As told in Wednesday’s Post-Dispatch, the directors have decided to let out three, and possibly four, instructors at the close of the scholastic year, June 15. Resignations have been asked from Ellis Lazel, instructor in chemistry; John L. Van Arnum, instructor in civil engineering, and W. H. Boehm, instructor in mechanical en- gineering. The fourth one, if another ts asked for, 140 49 | Will be an instructor in the manual training school. securit! are merely attendant evils. The year now closing has proven the hardest one of the panic for the university. There has been a decided scaling down of the revenue from investments, in some in- stances not one-half the normal rate be- ing obtained. This in itself was an em- barrassment. Then the tuition did not foot up so well.as in former years, and the dl- rectors faced a losing enterprise. Reports of Eastern colleges and universities are shown to support the statement that this condition is not, peculiar to Washington University, It is stated Harvard last year had a decided deficit. In almost every in- stance the loss occurs in precisely the man- ner it does to the St. Louls institution. The Chancellor sees no indication of a successful competition with his university. There is, he says, no perceptible drain in the school’s fleld Parents are not sending their children to school, because they can not afford it. It has become necessary to reduce home ex- penses and the child suffers with those who are older. It is only within the past three years the attendance has been affected, In the manual training department the loss is most noticeable. Where three years ago there were over 300 pupils, not quite 200 are there now. In other departments the falling off has been considerable lighter. The parents of those studying the man- ual arts are mostly of a class first affected by business conditions and a decrease was expected. There have been some withdraw- 18. however, of members of wealthy fami- “I look ‘for an improvement here,” said Prof. Chaplin, “and the directors believe with me that this department will improve next year. If it does no instructor will be removed.-This is a very impurtant work, and we are loath to curtail it in any particu- ar, “There will be no professors removed. With the instructors uncer them gone, they will simply have to work harder. The course of study, or the thoroughness of instruction will not be impaired. “As I say, we look for brighter things next year, but we must be prepared for what comes.’’ RUCKER IS ALL RIGHT. Reported Missing in Chicago While He Is Visiting His Brother. A Chicago dispatch says J. D. Rucker, formerly steward of the St. James Hotel, this city, has been reported to the Chicago police as missing. There is evidently little foundation for the report. Mr. Rucker went to Chica June $8 on business and returned to 8t. Louis last Sunday morning. He is living temporarily with his brother, Georgo Rucker, at the Grace Hotel on Walnut street. He was not in when a Post-Dispatch re. porter called, but the hotel people said he was here, all de te and was quite amused at the telegraph report of his disappear- ance. L. Pink Burns Recaptured.

It is all be- cause he gave advice to a woman and she took it. When the Century Theater closed there was nothing for Treasurer Quarlés to do, so he made arrangements to put in the summer at the Suburban. Jennie Yeamans was an attraction the first week of the Suburban season. She = Mr. Quarles were old friends. After her euasgemets at the Suburban ended he called on her occasionally at the Lindell Hotel, just as any well-ordered gentleman with a decorous regard for the welifare of a fair friend might in the glad springtime. Miss Yeamans’ man of business “flew the coop”’ and’ a morning newspaper told about it, dragging in a good many extraneous incidents after the ribald way of the matutinal press. It even referred to Miss Yeaman’s as a middle-aged soubrette. Then, as though bent on nailing Miss Yeamans to the cross for good and all, this same paper sent A Woman Writer to ask her how she managed to look young, and to put questions about vinegar baths and other sacred mysteries of the toilet. Mr. Quarles was in Miss Yeamans’ room when The Woman Writer called and he made no bones of agreeing with Miss Yea- mans when she told The Woman Writer that The Woman Writer’s paper had “‘Done her dirt.” He even made bold to advise Miss Yeamans to sue for damages. Miss Yeamans did bring a damage suit and The Woman Writer’s paper didn’t like it. Then the managers of the Suburban heard that Mr. Quarles advised Miss Yea- mans to sue. The Suburban management is fond of the newspapers and it refuses to foster within its bosom a ticket seller who would give advice calculated to harm “, mene = mene + o Mr. Quarles is no longer selling tickets at the Suburban.

All of the dungeons in the city jail were in use Wednesday night. The female pris- oners wanted to get even with Mrs. An- thony, the night jail matron, because she would not give them the freedom of the corridor on the night of the Udell fire, and they precipitated a riot. They were assist- ed by the male prisoners and the combined noises were such as to thoroughly alarm ne A ae all escape alarm was turned in and Jailer Butch Wagner broke hurriedly awuy from his supper and hastened to his bas- tile. He found the place surrounded by policemen in oe detectives and depu- ty sheriffs. Such a din as came from with- in Butch had never heard. The 300 prison. ers were all shouting at the top of their voices and were beating on their cells with anything that would make a noise. After quiet had been restored it was learned that the row had been planned by the women. They had related their fancied grievance to some of the male prisoners and it was agreed that as much noise as it was possible to make should be made ‘just — night yee, Avan! on Serr. mith, ary Brooks, illie John- son, Stella White and Margaret Johnson were found to be the ringleaders among the women, and Dennis umont, William Fischer and William Brooks were active in arranging the demonstfation among the men.

BABY BONNETS ruching, all sizes, tie > FLOWERS of al! kinds and colors, worth from 15¢ to 35¢ a bunch, Favorable Reports From No-To-Bac’s Fight Against Nicotine. CHALLENGE TESTS PRODUCE RESULTS. Druggists Everywhere Report Sales of No-Te-Bac Under the Written Guarantee. ALL CLAIMS SUBSTANTIATED. A few days ago a free distribution was made at the Post-Dispatch office of samples of No-To-Bac and written guarantees of cure. This liberal offer was made as a challenge to all tobacco users to test the wonderful powers of No-To-Bac, and was intended to prove to the people the confidence of the makers in the merits of their preparations. Nothing but a record of 400,000 actual cures of the disease by No-To-Bac could have justified them in taking the chances of such an offer. The interest aroused by the distribution and challenge was great, and reports are pow being received daily, which go to prove that the most of the samples distributed were used in a proper and serious manner, proving that this confidence in the public was well founded. It is also found that hundreds of tobacco users, many of whom had not attributed their ailments to the use of to- bacco, bave received unexpected relief and pleas- ure from the use of No-To-Bac. This is shown by the fact that those who have tried the samples in good faith, having derived great benefit, now make use of the written guarantee by purchasing a full supply of the great tobacco cure at their own druggists’ under bis indorsement. | vewerrrererwrererere.lvmhcmmhCrehe ee eeeoeeeeeeoeereeeeeeeeeeemermcermCrmrrrr7"+r.™rvrv.,rFrrrrrrrrrrrryrvyryrwrvevwvvwvrvvvwwvwwV YY’ le i i te i i i hi i i he he he ~~rTVrrVvreCrerereerrerereererereorereererermeereererrermlerermlererorereereererereyreyryry”,----vrwrerwrwrwrrvwrvwryrVryVryV* SHIRT WAIST SENSATION.

The country banker is an exception to the rule. His institution has opening and clos- ing hours similar to those of metropolitan banks, but he follows the procession of his neighbors and gets into the morning har- ness as early as anybody, except the butcher. This is why delegates to the convention of the Missouri Bankers’ Association have been visible in the Planters’ Hotel rotunda before 8 o'clock and have chafed at the long wait for the convention to assemble at 10 o'clock. They were out earlier fhan usual Thurs- day morning, notwithstanding it was nearly midnight when they returned Wednesday evening from their excursion on the Grand Republic to Montesano Springs. They ex- pressed great pleasure in the excursion. Every attention was paid them and they en- joyed every moment of the river breezes, the fine luncheon, the music and the danc- ing. : Interest centered Thursday in the polo game to be played late in the afternoon at the Count Club. Bankers are quiet fel- lows, but they have just as much curiosity Friday and Saturday for choice of 200 Ladies’ Trimmed Hats, in Lez- horns and fancy white straws, beautifully made up of ostrich tips, rib- bons, laces and flowers; such a hat as you pay $4.50 for in Broadway stores.

The convention got together slowly, it be- ing 10:30 o’clock before President Joy could Summon a sufficient number of delegates to warrant him in rapping for order. Mr. Hunt opened the proceedings with a Baber by Mr. C. B, Littlefield, cashier of the ank of Knobnoster, on Banks.”’ It was a protest . against ‘the mighty prejudice’’’ which he claims exists throughout the State in the matter of assess- ing and collecting revenue from banking institutions. The writer said it was high time the bankers formulated their objections to the unfairness and insist on having at awe A before the law. Organization and education, he claimed, should begin at once, so that proper arguments may be presented to county boards of equalization, to county courts and the General Assembly for an equality in taxation. He protested against banks being classed with saloons. [n his own County of Johnson the bank tax had been reduced from $1 to 66 2-3 cents by a proper effort. He counseled the cultivation of the County Assessor, before whom many inequalities may disappear. Mr. Huston of Marshall moved a reconsid- eration of the vote by which the constitu- tion and by-laws were adopted, in order to offer an amendment. By unanimous con- sent he proposed to strike out the word broker in the paragraph concerning admis- sion to membership, and inserting ‘‘such bond and stock brokers as may be invited to become members by the Council of Adminis- tration.”’ This was adopted without dissent. The Committee on. Resolutions reported, expressing the thanks of the Convention to the St. Louls clearing house and the officers of the Association, which were adopted. Mr. J. B. Thomas of Albany offered the following, which met .with unanimous en- dorsement: “Whereas, the passage of the so-called Slate Bill and th: Anti-Preference Bill by the late Legislature of Missouri, was begot- ten, we believe, of a misconception in the mind of the General Assembly regarding the true magnitude and needs of the financial and commercial interests of the great State of Missouri: and “Whereas, Gov. Stephens, giving cogent and forcible reasons for his action, vetoed both bills, thus defeating laws the operation of which would have interfered greatly with the conduct of business, and especially with the granting of credits in this State, without producing the additional revenue intended; therefore, “Resolved, That the action of the Gov- ernor in the premises meets with our hearty commendation and furnishes assurances that the strong arm of the law will be used during his administration to protect and not to destroy.’’ Walker Hill, G. W. Garrels and Secretary ays were appointed a committee to ar- range for transportation of delegates to the American National Bankers’ Association in Detroit. Mr. W. Frank Street of St. Louls read from the “Banking and Law Journal” an article by himself giving in detail the laws and rules eevee the St. Louis clearing house, which was listened to with interest. The election of President was then pro- ceeded with. Mr. L. L. Allen of Plerce City was unani- mously elected for thm ensuing year, the mame of Mr. J. B. mas having been withdrawn at his own request. There were loud calls for Mr. Allen, who made a brief epeech of thanks, The address made by Edmund J. James Ph. D., of the University of Chicago, for- merly of the University of Pennsylvania, was the feature df the day. It was an ap- pont for the establishment of a school of nance and economy in St. Louis. Among other things he said: “The United States to-day is at the point where it can produce far more than it can consume; therefore, it is necessary to its prosperity to seek foreign markets, to compete in the world of commerce and trade with other nations. The absolute con- dition of any such competition is a better education of our business classes. Our in- dustry as well as our commerce have been in a state of stagnation for the past five years. There is no agreement as to the alise of this condition, but there can be o doubt that a better education of our dustrial and business classes as a whole ke lard those who are thin in esh, whose system is weak ‘and nerves irritable.

Two size boxes, 50c and $1.00. _———_ ee — ~ is one of the conditions of preventing the recurrence of such periods of stagnat:on or at least of making their burden lighter, if they do recur. “There is need of two entirely distinct institutions in our present educational sys- tem to provide for this more thorough-go- ing business training: First—The commer- cial high school in the sphere of secondary training. Second—The school of finance and economy in the college or higher Aeniangg “The feasibility of this latter scheme has been amply proven by the experience of the University of Pensylvania, which es- tablished some fifteen years ago in the Wharton School of Finance and Economy a college course for those students who were looking forward to entering business life. The course has been a success from whatever point of view it may be regarded, and it has produced a marked effect upon the attitude of our higher institutions of learning toward this subject. The faculty of the University of Chicago has just fin- ished considering a somewhat _§ similar, though a much broader plan, looking to the same end, and has finally approved a pro- posed curriculum. The department will be established as soon as the funds can be made available. The University of Cali- fornia is examining the same pevrert with great care, and there is little doubt in tne opinion of some of the best- judges that it will soon establish a department of com- merce and industry. “No city has yet undertaken to establish a commercial high school, but the question has been fully considered in the School Board of Philadelphia, and that board, dur- ing the last month, approved the estab- lishment of such a school by a unanimous vote, and it has hoped to open the institu- tion at the very latest one year from the coming September. A committee of the Board of Education of the city of New York have unanimously recommended the establishment of such a school in that city. The President of the School Board of the city of Chicago has warmly recommended the establishment of a similar institution in that city. And there is little doubt that in all three of these cities ere long a high school with a curriculum three or four years in length will be established on an equal plan with the other existing schools, fully Sqnipper for general educational work in this field. "peg “‘I desire to emphasize here the fact that we are not asking for a special school, in the sense of a trade school, but for @ school with a liberal or general curriculum, based, however, in its most essential elements up- on the study of commerce, trade and in- dustry in all their ramifications, instead of upon the study of language or natural science, though both. of these subjects will enter as important elements naturally into the curriculum of the proposed school. We are pleading for an educational institution, first of all, but an educational institution which will answer one of the most funda- mental needs of our modern American life. “Certainly the cities of St. Louis and Kan- sas City in this State ought to establish such commercial high schools. I am sure the mere announcement that such an insti- tution is to be opened would be met with a sufficient number of enrollments to make it a success from the Los pppoe, & The most striking characteristic of our present sys- tem of high schools is the decreasing num- ber of vers to be found in them as com- pared with the girls. The adoption of the element which I am pleading for would un- doubtedly restore the equilibrium. If these two cities were to establish such schools which might serve as models for other cities to imitate as they should become able to do so, we might safely leave the gradual extension of this part of education to the future. ‘There are at least two great educationa! institutions of high rank in the State of Missouri which ought to establish a col- lege course based in the same way upon the study of trade and industry and offer- ing special facilities for the study of these subjects to college students. In Washing- ton University the city of St. Louis has an institution founded upon a singularly broad and liberal basis,singularly free from all em. barrassing affiliations, an Institution which every citizen of St. Louls ought to be proud to support and to help. © better place in the country could be devised for the es- tablishment of such a college course as I am pleading for. The example set by Mr. Joseph Wharton, who endowed the course referred to in the University of Pennsylvan- ia, is one which could be followed with progs by some liberal meres _peroon in t Louis in connection. with ashington University. “In the University of Missour!l at Co- lumbia you have an jnstitution of which every citizen of this great State ought to be proud, and in whose welfare every citi- zen of this State ought to take the keenest interest. Here also ought to be provided one of these courses of study. Why will you organize at public expense a course of training in P hay State University for the lawyer, or for the physician, for the en- gineer, for the architect, the farmer or the teacher, and still refuse to provide for the education of that other large and equally as important class, the business man. It | is right to raise high the standard of legal, medical, engineering and pedagogical edu- ane art 4 aes cone peceasery to raise equally hig e standard of and industrial education. reas “The control of our society is passing for all practical purposes more and more comprare sate the hands of the business classes. hat our society is to be in the future; what its attitude shall be upon all the fundamental questions of efvilization, depends more upon the*attitude of mind and the tone of our business classes than ypen any other single element in our midst.

Church of the Fourth Police District dis- covered a man climbing out of a window in the rear of the saloon, 1137 Washington ave- nue. The man was arrested and proved to be Harry Price, who with John Kernan ran the place. It appears from the statement of both sides of the controversy that there was a disagreement between the partners and efforts were made to separate on a sal- isfactory basis. This result could not be reached and Price engaged a force of men to remove what he thought was his portion of the stock. Sergt. Church locked the prisoner up, but he was subsequently released upon his at- tormey showing that one partner could not proceed criminally against another partner for removal of stock.

ZELINSKY TELLS ABOUT HIS TUM- | BLE FROM THE BRIDGE. HAD EPILEPSY AND A JAG. A Young Polish Jew in Hard Luck Has an Experience Steve Brodie Might Envy. Arthur Zelinsky, the young Polish Jew who jumped from the center span of the Eads bridge Wednesday, is in the City Lios- pital under treatment for epilepsy. He its none the worse for his thrilling experience, and the only injury he suffered was a slight bruise of the right shoulder muscles. Zelinsky has been subject to epileptic fits from childhood. To this can be traced his attempt at suicide. His physical infirmity has prevented him from obtaining steady employment. With a younger brother he has lived at 1000 South Seventh street. Zelinsky has supported himself by such odd jobs as he could pick up, and, even han- dicapped as he was, managed to save sume money. But for two months he has been unable to obtain employment, and his sav- ings were soon exhausted, His younger brother shared his earnings wiih him, but Zelinsky grew morbid and cespondent. Tuesday night he first threatened to de- atroy himself, and he spoke of it to several friends. They took it as a joke, and one of them laughingly said: “If you do I'll treat the gang to a keg of beer.’ Zelinsky had been drinking and his brain was not as clear as it might have been. He took the remark seriously and though gaying nothing, he made up his mind that he was not wanted and would be better off dead. That was Tuesday night. Wednesday morning Zelinsky started out on his daily hunt for employment. He claims to be un- able to remember going on the hridge. He recalls that he thought of suicide and of the remark made the night before. But he says he was not in his right mind when he leaped from the center span to the river, feet below. It was about 5:30 in the afternoon and there were a number of pedestrians cross- ing the. bridge. Zelinsky walked to the center and climbing over the railing reached the projecting platform before the br:dge. watchman could get to him. Without a word he jumped. His toes caught in the telegraph wires just outside the platform and his body turned completely over in the descent. He struck the water head fore- most. He held his breath and several sec- onds later came up within twenty feet of where he struck the water. Zelinsky is an expert swimmer and he immediately began to paddle. Two skiffs were lowered from the tug Mississippi, and five men went after the man, They over- touk him at Olive street and hauled him out of the water. , Zelinsky was sent to the City Hospital, where he is under treatment for his ail- ment. He denied that he was conscious of what he was doing when he jumped. He claimed that his unconsciousness was due to the aproach of an epileptic attack. He said he had no desire to commit suicide, but he had been in pretty hard luck for the last two months. The physicians at the City Hospital do 192 pupils. The value of the industries es- tablished is $89,450. The board asked for an appropriation of $70,000 for the prosecution of its work dur- ing the next two years. NALLY—REDD. A Former St. Louisan Captures a Blue Grass Bride. LEXINGTON, Ky., June 10.—Edward J. Nally, Assistant General Superintendent of the Pastal Telegraph Co., with headquarters at Chicago, was united in marNage to-day to Miss Lee Warren Redd, daughter of Capt. Oliver T. Redd of this city. The ceremony took place at the home of Miss Redd, on the Georgetown road, Chancellor Muldoon of Chicago, a warm personal friend of Mr. Nally, solemnizing the nuptials. Miss Redd's gown was made of Paris mousseline over taffeta silk, made with a train and trimme4d with Valenciennes lace. She was attended by her sister, Miss Fannie Redd, as maid of honor, and the following bridemaids: Miss Margaret. Menefee, Louisville; Miss Sallie Adams, St. Louis, and the Misses Mel Saf- frans, Nellie Swigert, Mary Payne and Marie Redd of Lexington. Mr. and Mrs. Nally leave at 8:30° to-night for Washington and New York, and will sail June 14 on the steamer Teutonic for a month’s tour of Europe. Mrs. Nally is prominent in Blue Grass so- ety circles, and is extremely popular. Mr. Nally is one of the most widely-known and popular telegraph officials in the country. For twenty-two years he has been in the telegraph service, starting in when 15 years old as a messenger in the Western Union Telegraph office in St. Louts. Among the presents was a magnificent sil- ver chest of eighty-three pleces, given by the Postal Telegraph employes. Mr. and Mrs. Nally will return from Eu- rope on the steamer Majestic about July 31, and will make their home in Chicago. THE MAGNATE SMILED. Though the Brethren Ran His Sub- scription Up to $16,000. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SYRACUSE, N. Y., June 10.—John D. Archbold of New York, a Standard Oil magnate, is president of the Syracuse Unt- versity, one of his hobbies. In the annual trustee meeting, the other trustees had fun at Mr. Archbold’s expense, and before the millionaire got out it had cost him over $16,000. He started the subscriptions to pay off the university’s deficiency with $7,000, and then he made the announcement that he would duplicate every dollar given after that. Then some of the other wealth trustees started in to have some fun wit the Oil King. Pledges rolled in. When Mr. Archbold figured up he found that he was out over $16,000, and when a Methodist minister started ‘‘Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow,’’ the Standard Oil mag- nate joined in with a big smilé on his face, as if he were having the best kind of a time. STRIKERS SURRENDER. Jones & Laughlin’s Work Goes On at Reduced Rates. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 10.—The strike at Jones & Laughlin’s iron Works was declared off by the strikers’ committee to-day and all the old men that can will go back at once at-the reduction. About 500 new men have been taken on and probably ‘that fo ee of the old employes will be compelled to seek work elsewhere. The mill was run- ning in every department to-day. -_ DISMANTLING OF THE North nave, looking southeast, towards Grand Music Hall. north nave has been removed, the sketch showing the basement and first floor, mot put much faith in Zelinsky’s story of unconsciousness. In epileptic fits the suf- ferer is generally dazed for some time af- ter the attack, but seldom before. He may have been temporarily dazed from drink or worry, and made the leap under those circumstances, in which case the sudden contact with the cold water would have the effect of sobering him up. Zelinsky will remain at the City Hospital several days. LUTHERAN SYNOD. The Report on the Work of Foreign Missions Presented.

Mrs. Mary C. Green appeared in Judge Peabody’s court Thursday morning to ap- pear against her son, John Withnell Green, who was arraigned on the charge of dis- turbing her peace. , Mrs. Green is a refined and intelligent woman and lives at 305 Laclede avenue. When she appeared in court Thursday morn- ing she was dressed in deep mourning and a heavy crape veil concealed her features. Even her hands were encased in black cloth gloves. Mrs. Green appeared ill at ease and her dignified and quiet mien were in striking contrast with the manner of most of the Police Court attendants. John Withnell Green, the defendant, was the rsonification of all that was careless and Erase. He sat calmly in the prisoner's dock, his legs crossed, and a leering smile played constantly over his not unhandsome but hardened face. He took no interest in the case other than to occasionally prompt Jeff D. Storts, the lawyer who was defend- ing him. Mrs. Green was placed on the stand. Her veil covered her face and her replies were scarcely audible. Her son, she said, was 23 years old. He had no occupation and was supported by her. He drank a great deal and frequently created disturbances at home when intoxicated. Wednesday morning be- tween 3 and 4 o’clock he came home. He was intoxicated. He demanded money and wanted $100. Mrs. Green had not that much money, but gave him 65 cents, all she had. Her son threatened to break up the furni- ture, but finally accepted the 65 cents and left. An hour later he returned and Mrs. Green sent her other two sons for a police- man. Sergeant Johnson went to the house. On the witness stand the Sergeant said when he arrived John was in his room. The door was locked. At Mrs. Green’s request tho door was broken open. The young man gave vent to the most fearful oaths and cursed his mother and brothers for calling the officer. It was shown that on Jan. 18 Young Green was fined $5 on a similar charge. At his mother’s request the fine was stayed on good behavior. Green had nothing to say in his defense. Judge Peabody said as he had failed to learn how to behave when he was fined in a small sum he would fix his fine this time at $100. . THREE KILLED. Disastrous Freight Wreck on the Bos- ton and Maine Railway. EXETER, N. H., June 10.—The most se- rious freight wreck on the Boston and Maine Railroad in many months occurred east of here early this morning. The Portland and Boston through night freight train ran into a washout at Fernald’s Culvert. The loco- motive and seven tars were demolished and three men killed. The dead are: : neon RANKIN, engineer of Port- and. A. C. YOUNG, brakeman, of Portland. ALBERT CHANDLER, brakeman, of Portland. Daniel King, the fireman, was badl burned and otherwise injured, but he will recover. The train was about half an hour behind time, and was running at a high rate of speed when the locomotive went into the culvert. The engineer and two brakement, who were on the front of the train, had no time to jump. FURS SEIZED. Sent From Canada to Denver Without . Paying Duty. DENVER, Colo., June 10.—The Denver customs officers, acting on information re- ceived from the inspector at Sault Ste. Ma- ‘rie, on the Canadian border, seized a valu- able package of furs, conta‘ning six Cana- dian mink skins and three beaver skins, which had been consigned by express to “Mise E. Hart, care of the Deanery, Den- ver,” and on which no duty had been paid. Miss Hart jis the daughter of Rev. Martyn Hart, canon of the Episcopal Cathedral and pastor of the wealthiest congregation west of Chicago. Dean Hart explains that the furs were sent by a friend in Canada without h's knowledge. He says he does not think the pacer realized that he was violating the aw. Deal Gently With the Stomach, If it proves refractory, mild discipline is the thing to set it right. Not all the pBauseous draughts and boluses ever invented can do balf as much to remedy its disorders as a few wine- glassfule—eay, three a day—of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which will afford it speedy relief, and eventually banish every dyspeptic and bilious symp- tom. Sick headache, nervousness, sallowgess of the complexion, fur upon the tongue, vertigo, and those many indescribable and disagreeable sensa- tions caused by indigestion, are too often per- petuated by injudicious dosing.

Broadway and Olive street FENDERS MUST BE LIFE SAVERS. COUNCILMAN HECKEL TO INTRO- DUCE A NEW ORDINANCE. WANTS AN AUTOMATIC DEVICE. The Fenders Now in Use Are Farcical and Inflict More Harm Than They Do Good. Acting on the suggestion of the Post- Dispatch, Mr. Geo. Heckel will introduce in the City Council Friday evening an or- dinance requiring street railway companies to equip their cars with automatic fenders. The present ordinance, approved March 28, 18%, requires the companies to provide fenders and front and rear wheel guards. pene fenders must project beyond the ront platform, but the design may be any he ich the Board of Public Improvements as certified in writing meets its approval. he board has taken the position that it aannot go further than certify that the de- — is a fender within the meaning of the = nance. It was advised by the City ‘ounselor that the wording of the oy? does not confer upon it authority © determine whether a fender is suitably constructed to act as a life saver. Mr. Heckel introduced an ordinance at the last session, but the committee to which it was referred recommended that it be filed on the — that, having recently equipped their cars with fenders under the existing ordinance, it would be a hardship to compel them to make a change. ar. Heckel thinks sufficient time has elapsed now to warrant more. stringent pesuiations for the protection of Jife and His ordinance will be more definite than the one introduced last session. Sec. 1 will require the roads to “provide all their grip or motor cars now or here- after in use with fenders constructed in such a manner as to act instantly and auto- matically without the aid of the motor- The device must be so constructed as to cover the bumpers and drawhead as well as the entire dash-board, to prevent injury to the person colliding with the car as well as yen the person 3 ten being run over. cars must be equipped wi ey Deel quipp th the fenders It is made the duty of the board to make or cause to be made, at least once a year, a thorough examination and inspection of all fenders and wheel-guards and condemn all defective and unfit fenders. Any company violating the ordinance may be fined not less than $100, and every day’s violation will constitute a separate offense. For the protection of the companies it is made a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine of from $10 to $50 for any person to get upon a fender, whether or not the car isin iors’ when the person is not in danger of The existing fender ordinance is repealed. Mr. Heckel said Thursday: “There might almost as well be no fenders at all as the Ones now in use on most of the St. Louis lines. In an inquest recently held the man- ager of one of the roads testified before the Coroner. that there is not a fender in use in the city which may be implicitly re- lied on to save human life. I doubt if there is a line on which one or more persons have not been killed since adopting the crude designs now in use. These fenders are four or five inches above the street and they climb over the body of a person which they Strike, terribly bruising or crushing out his life, even if he escapes the wheels. ‘The Suburban road purchased an auto- matic fender, but it was designed to be placed just in front of the Wheels and as the ordinance provides that it must ex- tend beyond the front platform, the board could not approve it, and it had to be so modified as to work by hand. Some of the companies are using de- vices which can only be called fenders by the farthest reach of imaigination. An official of the Olive street line told me that company would not replace its wooden bars with an improved device until forced to. “It is*claimed that an effective automatic device cannot be operated on the St. Louis streets. Every street car in Cincinnati is equipped with them and hardly a day passes that a life is not saved by them. “The Post-Dispatch was right in editor- lally demanding more adequate legislation on the fender question. I mean to see if, with the support of the press, it cannot be obtained.”’ NORMAL CLASS COURSE. No More Graduates After September of Next Year. Prof. Soldan, Superintendent of the Pub- lic Schools, says there are now 500 candi- dates on the waiting list for positions as teachers and some of them have heen wait- ing since 1894. Hence he is supporting Direc- tor Brown's resolution, presented at the last meeting of the Board to close the Nor- mal School course after September, 1898. President Coste and Director Studniczka agree upon the imperative necessity of such a course. “The proposition is to exclude pupils from the Normal course, beginning in September, 1898, until there is some prospect of posi- tions being found for them when they grad- uate. It was framed with the humane pur- pee of giving notice to those who had the ormal Course in view.”’ MAY NEVER BE TRIED. Maggie Tyler, Who Slew Her Husband, Dangerously I11. Maggie Tyler may not live to be tried for murder in the first degree, though she was indicted by the last Grand-jury. Dr. Sut- ter, Superintendent of the City Hospital, performed a surgical operation on the ne- gress Thursday morning. He says she may not recover. On May 6 she killed her husband, John Tyler, on South Seventh street. Tyler was drinking and Maggie hurled an iron shoe last at hiss as he started downstairs. The last struck him on the back of the neck and paralyzed him. He died the fol- lowing day at the City Hospital. Maggie was arrested. She became ill and was transferred from the jail to the Hospital. She grew worse and an operation was néc- essary to save her life. Woman’s Training School Excursions.

Harry Cohen and Louis Bieber Started the Trouble by Pummeling Each Other. Some rank outsiders were guests at the wedding of Sam Rosenbaum and Annie Krolle Thursday evening at Lightstone’s Hall, and the scene of nuptial gaiety was turned into one of riot. Harry Cohen was one of those present who did not rective a formal invitation and so was Louis Bieber. The two men fought about a girl and Bleber smashed Cohen in the eye. The blow may lose the sufferer his eyesight. Cohen lives at 1807 Wash street. His yells etarted a genera! disturbance and when Pri- vate Watchman Wm, Bracking entered the hall it was hard to tell whom not to arrest, the entire party apparently being engaged in a free-for-all. Cohen was sent to the Dis- pensary where Dr. Thompson dressed the injury. Bieber was arrested on Cohen's complaint and taken to the police station at Seventh and Carr streets. Lightstone’s Hall is at Eleventh and Franklin avenue. Sam 1222 Nort , where Sam's father has u Hebrew butcher shop and grocery. They had sent out a number of invitations and the hall was crowded when the ceremony was performed at 8 o'clock. Sam and his bride thought there were entirely too man people present and a little before 9 o’cloc they went home, leaving the guests to dance, drink beer and amuse themselves as best they could. That is how it comes that Mr. and Mrs. Sam didn’t know the particu- lars of the riot Thursday morning. The Roseribaums do not pay as much at- tention to detail as do folks who live in Vandeventer place, so there were no ushers at the doors of Lightstone’s Hall to inspect the credentials of each man and woman who applied for admission. It was a free gate, so to speak, and by and by the hall was taken up with any old body that fel like Groppth in for spiel with any ol body’s girl. r. and Mrs. Sam Rosenbaum hinted Thursday morning that the character of some of the girls who drifted in, was dashed with heliotrope and that they were entirely to blame for the ruction. Cohen was not at home Thursday morn- ing. The case will be investigated in the on District Police Court Friday morn- ng. ODD BANKING TRANSACTION. First National of Kansas City Appeals From an Adverse Decision. A peculiar banking transaction will be laid before the next session of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Thursday morning the record in the case of the First National Bank of Kansas City against J. W. Rush of Larned, Kas., to recover $3,780 loaned on a eigen ae 4 note, was filed with Clerk Jordan of the Ap- pellate Court. The bank appeals. Rush not only beat it in the lower court but secured a judgment of $2,048.62 damages. . According to the bill of complaint the bank on Feb. 5, 1894, loaned Rush $3,780 for 60 days. On June 29, of the same year, it received $740 on account. The suit was brought to recover the balance. Rush, in his answer, acknowledges the loan, but avers he delivered to the bank as collateral security 64 shares of capital stock of the First National Bank of Dighton, Kas., and 10 shares of capital stock of the First National Bank of Ness City, Kas., all of which stock was valued at $100 a share and fully paid up. a. The answer states on’“June 29, 1894, with- out notifying the defendant the stock was sold and that the salé was a mere sham for the purpose of enabling the plaintiff to convert the stock and that no money was actually paid. It is charged that the bank urepened the stock for its own use and enefit. Rush then asks that he be given judg- ment against the plaintiff for the value of the stock, $7,400, with 6 per cent interest, from June 29, 1894, and after the amount of the note is deducted that $3,620 be turned over to him. In an amended answer Rush more specifi- cally charges crookedness. He states the stock was put up at’a mock sale and sold to Richard Allen, a negro porter, ostensibly for $740, but in reality without the payment of a cent, and that Allen being without money purchased and held the stock as trus- tee for the bank. On March 11, 1897, the jury in the lower court found judgment for the defendant and gave him $2,048.62 damages. It is from this decision an appeal is taken, CAN’T GO GANNON’S ORCHESTRA Neighbors Make Trouble for the Pro- prietor of a “Summer Garden.” Barney Gannon conducts a saloon and grocery at Hickory street and Cardinal avenue. In the rear there is what he terms a ‘summer garden.” This adjunct has gained for h!m the IIl- will of the neighborhood and has made him a defendant in the Police Court. A sum- mons was issued against him Thursday charging him with a general disturbance of the peace. The music furnished by Gannon’s orches- tra is what has caused the trouble. The musicians belong to no union, They are boys who live in the asighborhood, so the complainants allege, and the instruments they make the night hideous with are tin pans, buckets, etc. Gannon, it is said, ays his musicians in beer. The more beer m gives the more noise the boys make. There is no record of the boys complaining for any scarcity of beer. The neighbors say they asked Gannon to abate the nuisance, but he only laughed. Thursday seven women, two policemen and three men told their grievances to Assistant City Attorney Meigs, who issued a sum- WHISKY COMBINE. The Syndicate Closing Deals for Ken- tucky Distilleries.

Mrs. Mary McKittrick of 2913 Locust street, who has undertaken the task of rais- ing $12,000 as a permanent fund for the maintenance of the St. Loufs Choral Sym- phony Society, 1s working like a beaver with a committee of ladies to raise the amount. “I have been all the morning,” she gaid to a Post-Dispatch reporter, as she stepped from her carriage, ‘making my rounds, and will start out again after lunch, “It is slow work,’’ the lady remarked with a little look of discouragement, “I don’t know whether we shall succeed or not. We have now about $5,500 guaranteed that I know of. In a few days we will have a meeting of the committee to compare notes and determine what can be done. People tell us everywhere that times are hard, andj money scarce, but I know there is plenty of money in St. Louis and we shall not give up trying to find enough for our purpose until we have to. I think we shall succeed, but will let the Post-Dispatch know more about it in a day or two.” SUES THE ORDER OF HOPE. Christina Duechert Claims She Can- not Collect Insurance Money. Christina Duechert has filed suit in the Circult Court against the Supreme Lodge of the United Order of Hope, for the col- lection of $1,000. his amount is alleged to be due on a life insurance policy left by Herman Dueschert, the deceased husband of the plaintiff. The defendant is a benev- olent institution. In her etition the plaintiff alleges that proof of death was made at the proper time and that the money called for by the policy was collected by assessment. Yet the plaintiff declares that payenent has not been made, although frequently demanded, TO SMELL THE “STINK” WORKS. Health Board’s Junket to the Butler Villa Friday.

Each Trade or Occupation Has Its Special Disease. ee It is well known among medical men that certain diseases are more readily de- veloped in certain occupations than in oth- ers. Thateach occupation has itsattendant physical weakness. Engineers, railroad men and similar occupations suffer mostly from kidney troubles, and men who are often exposed to the weather stiffer from rheumatism, while clerks and professional men, in fact, the army of people whose business keeps them indoors, are often- times great sufferers from piles and con- stipation. In this connection the follow- ing letter is of interest to people whose occupation will not allow sufficient out- door exercise: Mr. A. F. Calhoun, notary public and jeweler and watchmaker of Circleville, W. Va., writes as follows: I have been a severe sufferer from piles for years and had tried many remedies with but little benefit, when about three years ago I saw the Pyramid Pile Cure advertised and sent for it. I was badly afflicted when I got them, but after only two applications the piles disappeared and from that day to this I have never felt a symptom of the disease. I feel that I cannot recommend them too highly to sufferers from piles. The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from co- caine, opium or any mineral poison, abso- lutely safe, pleasant and painless; sold by druggists at 50 cents per package. If there is any constipation the Pyramid Pills should be used with the pile cure. The pills are 25 cents per package. Any druggist will tell you that the Pyra- mid is the best known and most succeéss- ful and popular pile cure ever placed on the market and its reputation as a safe and radical cure has only resulted from the ersonal recommendation of people who tote been cured of this distressing ail- ment.

Wednesday morning he could not be found, and it was thought he had gone on another trip. He was single and 38 years old. Carondelet Post-Office Row.
