Cloge Finishes and Big Fields Fur - nished Excitement at the De Hodiamont Cycle Track. GHOT ON THE MAIN STREET AT NOON AFTER A FIERCE QUARREL. The National Tournament, under the auspices of the Associated Cycling Clubs | of St. Louis, held on the track of the Old Pastime Athletic Club, at DeHodiamont, yesterday afternoon, attracted a crowd of between 4,000 and 5,000 people. No records were broken and no extraocr- dinary time was made, but most of the races, both for professionals and amateurs, were interesting to the spectators, and the races developed several sensations. Kiser won the professional one-third-mile and the matth race with WIll Coburn as he pleased, and he gave a fine exhibition of his ability to sprint when sprinting was needed. The most sensational development of the day came in the~mile professional race. E. E. Anderson made one of the most remark- able races ever seen on the bicycle path, beating Kiser, the crack, who has already beaten most of the other cracks thie year, a sixteenth of a mile in a mile race, “ Much interest was attached ‘to the meet opened up in earnest, and it was not known how the men would perform in public.

DCABAMNE, _— oe VIOTIM’sS LIF. Editor Hedley in Jail at Carlin- ville to Escape a Mob. Deadly Enumity Had Existed Between the Two Men for Several Years— ‘ Bichards Was Unarmed and Left His Revolver at Home for the First Time in Six Months—Hedley Fired Shota. 4 John R. Richards, Mayor of Bunker Hill, Tll., and a prominent St. Louisan until three years ago, was shot yesterday noon by F. Y. Hedley, editor of the Bunker Hill Gazette. | The affray ocourred on the main street of the village which, because of the num- ber of St. Louisans residing there, might be termed a suburb of the Mound City. Bunker Hill is thirty-eight miles east of St. Louis, on the Big Four Railroad, and has about 1,200 inhabitants. In spite of the most strenuous efforts that wealth and man’s ingenuity could command—of which the running of a spe- _clal train at a record-breaking speed—to convey a celebrated surgeon to the scene ‘was a feature—the wounded man died ati: 6 o'clock in the evening of an internal hem- orrhage. 4 The dead man was 64 years of age; his as- saijant, who is now in jail at Carlinville, the county seat of Macoupin County, where he ‘was taken at his own request, to escape the threatened vengeance of a mob, is 50. A woman was the cause of the tragedy. By many she is considered the belle of Bunker Hill. Her name is Helen Alice Brown. To her associates she is known as Ella. By a few who have known her since she was a child she was called Dot. | Ella Brown, for by that name she is bet- ter known in both St. Louis and Bunker Hill, is 2 years of age. She has a sweet, interesting face and her stylish carriage would attract more than passing notice. She is an excellent soprano singer and her voice was trained in St. Louis. A year ago she was a member of the choir at the Bunker Hill Congregational Church—but More of this hereafter, for it was in this . church the trouble began, or at least it was there it first came to public notice. John R. Richards was associated in busi- ness in St. Louis with Stephen Ridgley un- til the latter’s death, about four years ago. Mr. Richards was a bachelor, and a cousin ‘was his housekeeper. Miss Brown was h:s second cousin; she lives with her parents &t the Monument House, of which her fath- er is the landlord. Mr. Hedley was married ten years ago to Mias Sanborn, then a 8t. Louisan. She is his second wife. By his first wife he had two children, daughters, who live at home. Leading up to the shooting is « straight story that leaves no doubt at all as to the Cause, but there are many side versions that differ in immaterial particulars as re- lated by partisans of the participants. Three hours after the shots were fired— for there were two, both hitting the mark and one proving fatal—it could be seen that the villagers were taking sides. The line of demarkation was plain. The Methodists and Episcopalians arrayed against the Con- Stegationalists. The latter believed Rich- ards to have been in the right; the former espoused Mr. Hedley. The direct cause of the tragedy was that ner has occasioned many another—jeal. Mr. Richards, in spite of his threescore years and four, was infatuated with Miss Brown. He had begged her to marry him, ¢ OF At one time last winter | 7/ \ | >i) ' ' WINNER OF Va MULE PROFESSIONAL: NEW YORK. ! | 1 ! ’ LW, a Sy Ve er WILLIE COBLRN, ST LOS. -™ cousin, urged her daughter to consent. The match seemed to her a good one. The Mayor was wealthy. Moreover, he was of pleasing appearance. Then she was bound to him by ties of consanguinity, she being the niece and he the nephew of the late Stephen Ridgley. But Ella steadfastly refused the offers that were repeatedly made her. Strange to say, all this time—that is, the last year, during which period Richard’s infatuation was at its height—the young woman was a stenographer in his office, a second story room in a building a block from the May- or’s residence. Richards aceused Hedley of preventing the marriage and the enmity between the men was the talk of the village, The assault of yesterday that had such @ tragic ending was the third within six months. Last January Hedley was knocked down by the jealous lover; the at- tack was repeated in May, soon after Richards was elected Mayor and yesterday came the third and to the striker fatal blow, for the editor was prepared. KF. Y. Hedley was born in England, but passed the greater part of his life in Carlinville and Bunker Hil, For many years he was postmaster of the latter town. He is a Republii- can and was ousted by Cleveland during his first term, and then reappointed by Harri- son. When the Democrats again came into power he was not a candidate for reap- pointment, as he had saved up quite a sum, weekly publication in which he had been interested some time, was paying well. Mr. Hedley owns a pleasant 2-story brick house a block distant from the residence occupied by the Mayor and his nieces. Hs is an undersized man, not more than 5 feet 6 inches tall, but he has an interesting face, is a ready conversationalist and has a charming personality. He is a skilled musician, by many considered a brilliant performer on the piano. This music—if the little things that influ- ence men’s lives be considered—wasg the foundation for the romance that culminated in the tragedy. For several years Mr. Hedley was or- ganist of the Bunker Hill Congregational Church. He was occupying this position when Miss Brown became the soprano. Both interested in the world of melody, they grew to be interested in one another and a warm attachment was the result. That this existed is admitted by the pris- and besides the Bunker Hill Gazette, a oner’s relatives and friends, by those who were intimate with the Mayor and by the father and mother of the young woman, The latter say it was kin to the relation- ship of father and child; that the editor was as interested in their daughter’s wel- fare as he was in that of his own children. It was about a year ago that gossips of the village first began to hint that wealthy Mr. Richards was in love with the woman who just then accepted the position of stenographer in his office. They said the very fact that he had taken her into his office was evidence of a wish on his part to have her near him, for there was surely not enough work for one to be kept busy at all day long. Mr. Richards was wealthy, but he had given up active business life at the time of his uncle’s death; in fact, when he moved from St. Louis to Bunker Hill, and all he needed an office for was a place in which to keep title deeds and other papers. Of course, when he became Mayor there was more need for some one to assist him, The next story the gossips had to relate was to the effect that Mr. Richards was jealous of Mr. Hedley. This talk grew and grew until it was on everybody’s tongue. Finally a story was circulated that was traced directly to the wealthy bachelor. He was charged with its origin and ac- knowledged he was the author. The next day—this was in November of last year—he made a public statement that reflected greatly upon the editor of the Ga- zette and also upon his cousin, Miss Brown. The matter thus brought to @ crisis, the trustees of the Congregational Church or- dered an investigation. It did not go as far as a church trial, for Mr. Hedley re- signed his position as organist, and Miss the choir. ag "ralie joined the Methodist Church a month later, and is still a member. This is where the trouble between the congregations comes in. The members of the church to which Mr. Hedley formerly belonged believed the charges made by Mr. Richards, or the majority of them 4id, while those of the new flock that welcomed the organist sided with the man, to whom they opened their arms, and the Episcopalians joined them. With Mr. Hedley’s resignation there sprang up a bitter enmity between the two men. They hated one another cordially, and did not keep the fact from their friends.

C., June 12.—The aéd- four months old, yet it has a deficit in the pension fund and no way to recoup it be- fore July 1. May 29 circulars were sent to all pension agents throughout the country, notifying them that the department was short of money and that in consequence all payments of new pensions would have to be held in abeyance until after the begin- ning of the new fiscal year. The déficit ig fully $1,000,000, and at least 100,000 old sold diers whose pension claims were rushed through a Republican Congress. with a flourish of trumpets are now unable to get the money due them. At the May payment the Pension Department Was short at the Des Moines agency $37,000 and at other agencies in proportion. Topeka, Kan., had a surplus of $15,000. All but $1,000 of this was recalled and from all the agencieg $17U,00) was recalled and redistributed. In this way the department was able to pay all the old pensioners for that month. Since then the department has been obliged to refuse to pay all recent additions to the pension roll. It will start the fiscal year with a deficit of five millions annually certain to come, with no possible increase in the pension appropriation bill. QUAY HER FRIEND. So Says Miss Von Lindau, the Actress, ‘ Who Is Now Insane, Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK,: June 12.—Loulse Von Lin- dau, the actress, who claims Senator Quay as a friend;was taken to Belleyue Hos- pital to-day, insane from the excessive use of morphine. She was found by the police at Broadway and Twenty-first street, where, in her delirium, she was creating a scene. Miss Von Lindau was at one time well known in New York and had powerful backing, though it was not Known at the time who was paying her big bills. This was not brought out until a short time ago, when the woman sued Judge William A. | Galbraith of Erie, Pa., Senator Quay’s per- sonal and political friend. She asked for $50,000 damages. She said that in 1891 Judge Galbraith induced her to give up her home life and study for the stage. He sent her to Evfrope to complete her musical education. After getting her to go to Europe he refused to send her more money and left her penniless in Havre. She reached America through the efforts of the American Consul. Miss Von Lindau told friends she expected a compromise through the efforts of Senator Quay. DISCOVERED IN TIME. William Jeffries, Though Innocent, Narrowly Escapes Serving Time. Special to the Post-Dispatch. - NEW YORK, June 12-—William Jeffries, tried, convicted and sentenced to a term of twenty years’ imprisonment for the crime of robbery, is to-day @ free man, notwith- standing the fact that he was sent to Sing Sing Prison only three months ago. It was a long three months for Jeffries, for he is innocent. He did not hold up and rob John R. Garrison, & Peekskill restau- rant-keeper, on the evening of Dec. 10, 1896. It was a case of mistaken identity. It was Special to the Post-Dispatch. | @ case of judicial severity. Judge Lent of the} ees ter County Court at White Piel Pees ed his severity on the groufid that {t was robbery with violence. almost | amounting to attempt to kill _Garrison’s story was that two mien ¢€n- tered the kitchen of hfs restalrakt wher he’ was alone; one held him an@ the other robbed him of 40 cents. He struggled and was beaten. Jeffries was convicted. His counsel secured a new trial, which was held on Thursday, and this time it was shown that the description of Garrison's assallant did not tally with Jeffries: He was ac- quitted and discharged by Judge Lent, who again presided. : THE BENDERS ROBBED. Five Masked Men Enter the House of the Miser Family. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MASSILLON, O., June 12.—Five masked men robbed the Bender house last night. What was obtained the family refuses to state. The family, consisting of five broth- ers and sisters, each over 60 years of age, is very wealthy. They own a dozen farms, coal territory, and have a big bank account. It has always been believed that they had large sums of money hidden in chair cush- ions, bed ticks and buried in the cellar. When they bought their last farm they paid for it in cents and nickels. Years ago, before the father died, his hat blew into the river. There is a tradition that thereupon the family held a gouncil and decided that as the old gentleman would soon die it would be extravagant to buy him a new hat. After that he covered his heal with a shawl. They are scrupu- lously honest, believe in witchcraft and make use of a divining rod. IT SOUNDED WELL. But the Guide-Book Scheme Cost Mrs. Dimock Thirty Thousand Dellars. NEW YORK, June 12.—Attachments have been issued against the United States Guide and Information Co. and Ernest V. Mar- schall, its general superintendent. It is claimed that stock in the company has been issued illegally. The plaintiff is Mrs. Mary 8. Dimock of Keswick, Va. Marschall has been fn trouble before, at which time he was posing as a Count, but he was able to enlist prominent men in his guide scheme, after which he is alleged to have begun fleecing the innocent sheep. Mrs. Dimock is out $30,000, besides the 10 per cent interest thereon she had been promised. She had invested in the com- pany’s stock. The Guide company was formed in New Jersey, with many prominent men as in- corporators, to furnish guides and informa- tion to New York visitors. A BOLD BOSTON BANDIT. He Robbed a Young Woman at Wash- ington and School Streets. BOSTON, Mass., June 12.—Miss Dolly Lally, bookkeeper for Barker & Starbird, photographic supplies, was held up and robbed of $774 at Washington and School streets at noon. It is the most crowded. corner in the city. She carried the money in her hand on the | way to the Shawmut National Bank to de- posit it. A man wrenched the package from her hand and ran. The young woman followed, screaming. The robber dashed down Spring Lane, and at the corner of Devonshire street the young woman fell in a fit. The robber escaped and Miss Lally was assisted . ’ | asFHEY-H Aid Two Old Car Horses Came 1% é ‘Again % into @ near-by store, where she told her etory. = to ‘ e : Life Special to the Post-Dispatch NEW YORK, June 12—At long and in- frequent aredeeis a car drawn,by two horses crawls Broadway in the north- hern part of the annexed district. It Ys run simply to hold the franchise. Until to-day the history of the two old horses used there was a secret. They were hauling the. car along past Van Cortlandt ark, where thé troopers of Squadron A were cavorting ‘through a spirited drill. Suddenly the blast of a bugle was heard and the aged car horses pricked up their ears. Then came the bugler’s call to ‘Charge.’ In-anm instant the horses plunged towards the crowd, pulled the old car of the track and the driver over the dash- board. The traces broke and the team gal- loped up the road and dashed upon the parade ground right in the midst of the troopers. The troops didn’t know whether they were being charged by the enemy or not, so they broke ranks and fied, until the driver came rushing up. Then the troopers re-formed and swept down upon the car horses and made them prisoners, and the trip to the city line was resumed. The horses had been in the cavalry service. REFUSED $60,000 A YEAR. Cleveland Saves His Material for a Book He Is Writing. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 12.—A New York syndicate has offered ex-President Grover Cleveland $5,000 a month for a term of years for two articles a month giving in detail the history of his two administra- tions. The offer has been refused. Mr. Cleveland’s reasons for refusing this princely salary of $60,000 a year is that he is now collating material for a history of his eight years in the White Hanse. He has repeatedly urged John G. Carlisle to write a history of the Treasury of the United States while he was in control. Car- lisle has thus for declined to do go, prob- ably for the reason that he ts not proud of the record he made. THE TOWN WOULD NOT. So the Women Undertake to Preserve the Whittie®? Home. Special to the Post-Dispatch. AMESBURY, Mass., June 12.—The Daugh- ters of the Revolution of Massachusetts have undertaken what the State and town of Amesbury have declined to do, and that is the preservation of the home of John G. Whittier, as a memorial to the Quaker poet. The local chapter of the association, at the last meeting, formed the Whittier Memorial Society and will solicit subscriptions in small amounts until a fund large enough for the purchase of the Whittler home here is secured. ' School children have already contributed quite a sum and will give more. The bal- ance will come largely from chapters of the Daughters in other places. THE WEATHER "FORECAST. FAIR AND WARM Missouri—-Fair, continued high temperature; south winds. Illinois—Fair; continued high temperatare, except warmer near Chicago; south winds. — Arkansas—Fair, continued higher tempeta- ture; southwest wiada, dozen of the best National Circuit riders were entered for the professional events, and the very pick of the St. Louls ama- teurs were on the card as starters for the prizes offered in their class. ’ In most of the open events the finishes were close and exciting, and in the handi- caps the handicapper knew his business. The track was in good condition, the weather was warm, as racing men like it, and fast time was expected. That it was not made is due to the way most of the races were run, The fast men all had a reluc- tance to making the pace for the other, and » in some of the’ events, particularly for ama- teurs, there was a disposition to loaf along the route, which put crack time out of the : f Te . Ltn bade ob of the Associated Cycling Clubs’ of &t. Louis, and all the clubs liberally entered tiéir best men for the amateur events. The officials of the meet were EB. N. Saun- ders, referee; judges, R. H. Laing, Garth Billingsley, Phil Haberman and Dr, J. H. Sibley; scorers, C. B. Tullis, F. L. Jobn- © son, C. B. Barstow, Jr., and C. H, Bart- lett, etarter, W. P. Laing, clerk of course, A. L. Jordan; assistants, Louls Rosen and - J. .R. Thursby; timers, A. C. Davis, H. G. Wolzendorf and T. G. Dempsey; umpires, E. L. Morgan, Gue Loeffel, Sain Loevy and F. W. McBride; marshal, J. C. Epsy, Chief Harrigan’s secretary. The handicapping was done by W. M. Rosbrough. At 2:35 o'clock seven riders lined up for the first heat in the first race, the mile amateur novice, for which the entries were so numerous that they had to be di- vided into two heats. The starters in the first heat were J. M. Carr, Will A. Hatch, B. C. Hopkins, E. G. Harding, A. Bechesto- bil, W. M. Martin and Mark Erskine, all of the St. Louls clubs. Carr, the favorite for the dash, took the lead at the pistol shot and kept it during the mile until the stretch was reached on the last lap. Then Erskine sailed for the leader and beat him two feet to the tape. Carr beat Harding a wheel for second and William M. Martin was fourth. Time 2m. 383-5s. These fouP men qualified for the final. In the second heat the starters were C, A. Newman, Pau! Duborrow, W. H. Klute, R. D. Talmage, Frank Shasserre, O. F. Blankenmeister, F. N. Harris and John R. Davis. They loafed during two-thirds of the route. Rounding into the stretch for the final lap Klute spurted and got to the front, where he stayed, There was not a length between first and third, so close was the finish Newman finished second; Har- rig third, and Paul Durborrow, the good thing, fourth. Time, 2m. %1-tie. These . four men qualified to contest the final with the first four in the first heat. Before the final nine professionals lined up for the third mile professional. They were E. Kiser, E. EB. Anderson, A, Cc. Mer- tens, E. D. McKeon, A. G. Harding, Lou Coburn, Will Coburn, L. D, Cabanne and Arthur Gardner. It was considered a gift for Kiser and it turned out so. Lou Co- purn led to the stretch and there the fast men passed him. By a Kiser spurt Kiser worked to the front and finished first by two lengths from Gardner. L. D. Cabanne was third and A, C. Mertens fourth. The time, 44 seconds, was slow. The eight who had qualified started in-the novice final. Nobody would make pace and a storm of hisses accompanied them the first lap. On the second Harding led, but at such & slow pace there wus no chance for time. On the last lap Carr got to the front, but Klute spurted and passed him. There was a battle between Klute and Carr. The latter won by two wheels with Dubarrow second and Newman third. The time was 2:4 4-6. After the novice final there was 6 match race between Kiser and Willie Coburn for ;*F # .

On the second try Strothotte took the pace on the second lap sallow es finished first. were stil outside the tines limit and were iven a few minutes for rest. ©The pr ed in the open mile professional came next. The starters were Kiser, an derson, Mertens, McKeon, Lou Coburn, W Coburn, L. D. Cabanne and Gardiner. This was the main event of the afternoon. a Anderson went to the front and opene up a hundred-yard gap on the first lap. He got too far away on the second and — in no danger. The others couldn't reac him and Anderson won a block off. Kiser beat Mertens a wheel for second place. An- derson won by a sixteenth of a mile in 2m. 22s. It was a remarkable race. Mertens was in it ostensibly for the purpose of pac- ing Kiser, and Anderson beat them both, K'ser didn’t think Anderson could last, and was very sore over the result. The men who were afraid to pace the sec- ond heat of the mile amateur event were next called out for a third trial to qualify for the final. It was announced that failure to make the time, 2:25, would disqualify all the riders. Weidner again went to the front, with Howard next and all in a string. Btrothotte led Wetdner on the final, but all spurted in the stretch. Frank Costello was first. F. H. White second, Joe Howard third and Weidner fourth, Time, 2:203-5, The four named qualified for the final. The next event was the final in the mile opén amateur for which eight had qualified, the four first in each heat. McCarthy an Carr set the pace at the start, but Weidner passed them. All gave way to Dougherty on the second. Starting the third McCarthy aced with Rumsey back of him. McCar- hy sprinted out and won easily with Cos- tello second and Howard third. Time, 2:23. Howard jumped.the track and ran over into the turf, or he might have finished better. Next on the card was the two-mile handi- cap for professionals, in wh‘ch Earl Kiser, Willie Coburn and Gardiner were at scratch and Anderson, who made ‘such a sensa- tional and unheard of win tn the mile open professional, started at the 100-yard mark. On the second lap Kiser started after the men ahead of him and on the third sprinted out. At the end the scratch men caught the next bunch. On the fourth Kiser was behind the two with the longest start. Anderson tried to jump the bunch, but Kiser caught him. On the last lap Hard- ing Jed, but J. W. Coburn, 136 yards, won; Harding, 200 yards, second; Kiser, -h, third. Time, 4:38 1-5. Kiser made a great race, but the handicap was too heavy. . In the first heat of the last race, a two- mile handicap, for amateurs, McCarthy and Hattersley started at scratch, The scratches caught the 60-yarders on the first lap and on the third lap they had all save the 300-yard man. Ae Martin, 300 yards, was fifty yards ahead. Carr, the novice winner, dropped out. On _ the fifth lap they were all together, but Mc- Carthy straightened up and went out. Into the stretch they came. R. EB. Buder, 136 yards, stayed to the end, beating Alex vaing, 115 yards, a half wheel. C. L. er, 195 vards, third; Felix Gast, ®, A. V. Reyburn, 155, fifth, and E. G. Hard- ing, 200 yards, sixth. The first six qualified for the final. Time, 4:37 4-5. There were s'xteen starters in the second heat, Costello and Joe Howard going from scratch, Weidner from 115 yards and E. A. Kreidler from 12 yards. On the second lap Kreidler was up in second place and then he took the pace. On the fourth all the big lead men were in front, with Kreidler doing the pacing and the scratch too far off to catch up. Steele led.on starting the last lap, with Kreidler second and the others bunched. Kreidler spurted and won by a wheel's length. Time, 4:30 2-5. While those qualified to contest in the final in the two-mile amateur handicap Were resting up and being muscle rubbed, annountement was made that Fred R. Hat- tersley, the winner of last year’s mile ama- teur’ champ!onship, would ride an. exhibi- tion mile, paced by a quad ridden by four amateurs. They had not practiced on the quad, and Joe Howard, who was steering, let her wobble on the turns, and, indeed, on one turn the four riders were nearly 6pilled. This was the reason Hattersley was not able to make better time for the mite than .2:10 1-5, called off by the timers. He caught the third man on the quad at the finish. The track record for amateurs is + made two years ago by G. A. Max- well. Last on the card was the final In the two- mile amateur handicap. Those qualified for it by getting inside the first six in each heat were R. F. Buder, 135 yards; Alex Laing, 115; CC. L. Knower, 135; Felix Gast, ay he Ss Reyburn, Jr., 155, and Ernest G. 200, from the first, and E. A. Will LaBeaume; 175; Wentworth Steele, 135; J. C. Weidner, 115; H. C. Strothotte, 135, and Horace Rumsey, 140, from the second heat. EK. G. Harding paced the other seyen for three laps with Kreidler and Laing alter- nating in best place behind him. On the fourth Kreidler was in front and doing the pacing, with Buder, Laing, Knower and Gast riding behind him Jn the order named. Steele showed to the front for a second or two on the fifth, but Kreidler, Buder, Gast and Knower were right behind. Buder took up the running on the fast lap, and spurted on the turn for the stretch. He couldn't be headed and won bY aie wheel's length. Knower and Kreidler had a nip and tuck race and the former won by a foot. Weidner pedaled into fourth place and Gast was fifth. The time was 4m. 344-5s., more than 4s slower than the heat Kreidler won. The circuit professionals go from St. Louis to Kansas City, where there will be @ national meet next Saturday. Then the racers jump back to the East and pick up the circuit in New England. Mr. Coburn, Sr., the father of the racing Coburns, said after the match race yester- day that his son Will was not in condition to ride, and would not be for several] weeks. There was probably a string tied to that Kiser-Coburn $200 purse in the match race. About $50 would come nearer the mark. Kiser is certainly a remarkable rider, and he seems to have a sensational] career on the track open.to him. He is about 19 years of age and has the build—the back, the shoulders and the legs—for a racer. He is wonderful at sprinting when spurts are needed at the finish and is as fast as light- ning at any stage of the race, In om Eck he has the oldest and most experienced trainer in the business and it will not be his fault if Kiser does not win more than his share of the money on the circuit this eummer. Kiser was seen here two years ago, but then he was considered only a promising youngster. It was the first National Circuit meet held in St, Louis since the tournament of September, 1895. Felix Gast’s riding was a disappointment to his friends, who expected to see him ride Pasctese ecorm be Showed at the recent aces. E. ; reidler, a consis- tent rider, was not at his best, but in get- ting third in the final In the two-mile handi- cap he did as well as -he expected, not- withstanding he won the second heat in 4 2-5 seconds better time than that in which the final was run.

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE. Goes Abroad to Compete With Ameri- can Industries. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. GLASGOW, June 12,—An American syn- dicate has completed arrangements where- by it will shortly begin the operation of large thread mills at Paisley to compete with the thread manufacturing establish- ment of J. & P. Coates & Co. The iatter firm has almost completed a deal for the absorption of the Willimantic (Conn.) mills. TILL SELLING POST-OFFICES, — ADDITIONAL REVELATIONS RE- GARDING THE RASCALITY. AFFIDAVITS TO WASHINGTON. Nay Positively Connected With the Deals and Loomis Under Suspicion. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHILLICOTHE, Mo., June 12.—Additional revelations concerning the alleged sale of post-offices In the Second Missouri District were made to-day in the shape of affidavits concerning the Avalon, Ludlow and Wheel- ing Post-offices in Livingston County. It has been charged that A. E. Nay, Chairman of the Republican County Central Commit- tee, has been assisting C. A. Loomis, ex- Republican candidate for Congress, in dis- posing of the offices in this county to the highest bidder, . EK. A. Seeley was recently appointed Post- master at Wheeling, and he now displays a receipt from Nay acknowledging the pay- ment of a note for $100 which should be paid in full to Nay, provided Seeley got the Post-office. Seeley has also made affidavit to the following statement: “Being an applicant for the Post-office at Wheeling, Mo., and meeting Mr. A. E. Nay, Chairman of the Republican Central Com- mittee, in his office at this place on Tues- day, April 13, 1897, he exhibited to me two notes drawn in his favor. One was from Mr. Skinner, an applicant for the Post-office at Avalon, Mo., for one hundred and fifty dollars ($150), and from Mr. Snider, ap- plicant for the same at Ludlow, er one hundred dollars ($100). Mr. Nay then put the question to me how much would I give for the Wheeling Post-office. I made him an offer of one hundred dollars ($100), and he accepted the offer. I then gave a note for the same drawn in his favor, on the condition that if I did not get the office he to refund the note, for which I hold his receipt on the above condition for the same; and he further stated that these notes would be assigned. E. A. SEELEY.” The originals of these papers have been forwarded to the Post-office Department at Washington, but sworn copies are in pos- session of the Post-Dispatch representative. Skinner and Snider have both had their appointments announced. The prominent Republicans who are furnishing the proofs of the deals have not as yet directly con- nected Loomis with them, but claim that they will soon submit to the press the proofs of his part in the transaction as principal. It is very evident that Nay had no way of getting the post-offices by him- self. A WAR IN WINE. Results in a Cut in the Price in Cali- fornia. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 12.—A heavy cut has been made in the price of wines for shipment to New Orleans. Heretofore the price has been 26 cents a gallon, with- out cooperage, for all dry wines in barrels. To-day’s price list was announced at i5 cents, with cooperage, which amounts to 11 cents without cooperage. The average monthly shipments to New Orleans are 300,- 000 gallons. The cut means a loss to Cali- fornia winemakers of $45,000 monthly. «It is the work of the wine dealers, who have antagonized the winemakers. In this fight the dealers have been aided by the Italian-Swiss Co., which has under- cut the prices of the association in New Orleans, Chicago and New York. The out- look for California winemakers is bad, as the falling off in the consumption of their wine in the East has been 40 per cent dur- ing the last year. A TRUE HERO. Gen. McCoy, Though Feeble, Is High Spirited, Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 12.—Broken in:health, but not crushed in’ spirit, Gen. C. W. C. McCoy has gone to his old home in Vir- ginia to die. The General, tall, feeble and slow of gait from weight of years, has made his home for many years in Brooklyn. He was the Confederate hero of Manassas and the second battle of Bull Run, Gen. McCoy was to have ridden a horse in the big parade on Grant Day, but his strength was unequal to the task. Nero, a splendid black stallion from Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy’s stock farm in Virginia, had been imported for this purpose, but the old Gén- eral was unable to mount. He had prom- ised to ride, but found that he was unable to sit astride the saddle—a military one— and the same one on which he sat in the awful charge at Manassas more than thirty-five years ago. THE REPUBLIC’S FAKE SCHEME. An Indignation Meeting Held at Car- lyle, Ill. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CARLYLE, Ill, June 12.—The indignation meeting over the fake advertising scheme of the St. Louis Republic was held at the office of J. J. McGaffigan, Chairman of the Democratic County Central Committee, at 8 o'clock this evening. About fifty-three citizens signed yearly subscription con- tracts for the Republic, and a majority of them have expressed themselves as dissat- isfied with what they term a “bunko”’ scheme, and desire to cancel their subscrip- tions. The matter was thoroughly dis- Ingersoll arrived in port. up and down the! cussed, and it was decided to hold another meeting next week. The Democrats of this | city are especially dissatisfied with the pol- icy of the Republic generally and claim taat its advocacy of Hon, William J. Bryan all along has been of a sort’ to throw coid water on the silver cause. ° ; ; RAPIST DE BERRY SENTENCED. | He Will Be the First to Hang in Ten- nessee for That Crime. JACKSON, Tenn., June 12.—The first man ever sentenced to death in a legal way in Tennessee for rape was Harvey De Berry, who the Supreme Court to-day sentenced to be hanged July 20, 1897, in Memphis. De Berry, who is a black, desperate-looking negro, about 82 years of age, raped and ac. saulted a white gril of 6 years on October 8, 1896, in Memphis, Great interest has been taken in the case, and De Berry would have been lynched if the cotirt had Failed to con. firm the sentence of death. The conviction was regarded as a great victory for the Hon, George W. Pickle, Attorney-General of Tennessee, and the bar generally gave him credit for winning by {s, superior ability a victory for soc ety. As De Rerry left the court-room for jall, he declared that he was innocent. Sunday Bornimg— YOUNG DR. WINN KILLED IN ACTION. HE WAS DEFENDING A CUBAN HOSPITAL FULL OF SICK. a RESOLUTE DEFENSE. He Has Gained Great Favor and Confi- dence During the Time He Was in Cuba. HAVANA, VIA KEY WEST, June 12.— Capt. Foster R. Winn, M. D., of St. Loius, a volunteer surgeon with the Cuban insur- gent hospital corps in the field, is reported to have been kiHed in an attack by Gov- ernment troops upon an insurgent hospital near Quivican, Province of Havana. Upon his body were found, among other papers of importance, letters from Col. Delgado, Brigadier General Castillo and Gen. Alex Roderguiz authorizing him to .proceed to the United States as a special delegate of the Cuban Army Hospital Corps with a view of interesting the Amer- ican Red Cross Society in the sufferings of Cuban insurgents, Dr. Winn has been for months with the insurgent forces, acting as Chief Inspector of Hospitals for the Havana District. When attacked, although taken by sur- prise and having only a handful of poorly- armed men at his command, Dr. Winn is reported to have made a most resolute de- fense of the hospital. His resistance was not entireiy ineffective, for he held the Spanish troops at bay until a majority of the sick and wounded inmates had been borne away in hammocks to places of safety. Then he#ell. His coat and shoes were stripped off by the Spanish guerillas, and the Spaniards placed them on exhibition at the Palace headquarters of Capt.-Gen, Weyler’s general staff. The commutation by Capt.-Gen. Weyler of the sentence of a young Cuban named Ruano, who had been condemned to death and was to be shot on Monday next, to life imprisonment, has caused much favorable criticism by both Cubans and Iberal-minded Spaniards here. Ruano, who is only 14 years old, was captured after having been wound- ed while fighting under the insurgent chief, Rafael Lerdomo, Itabo. He was charged with the crimes of rebellion and incendiarism. Senor Amblard, a prominent Cuban re- formist leader, left Havana to-day via Key West for Washington and Madrid. Senor Amblard’s departure has caused much com- TRAMP SCARE. Arcola, Ill. Up in Arms Against a Threatened Invasion of Hungry and Vicious Idlers. near | Special to the Post-Dispatch. ARCOLA, Ill, June 12.—This city is much perturbed over the tramp nuisance and trouble is anticipated within the next twen- ty-four hours, To-day twenty-five negro and white vagrants entered the city on freight trains. City Marshal Guinnip served notice on the gang to leave town, but this they refused to do, saying they meant busi- ness and intended to get what they wanted to eat before leaving. Mayor Chambers was informed and at once set about organizing a company of volunteer citizens to assist in driving the tramps out of the city. In some manner the roddsters got wind of the movement to disperse and left the city. Much uneasiness is felt to-night, however, as the tramps swore vengeance and it is feared they will return and carry out their threat. What makes the situation look darker still is the fact that a telegram was received by the authorities here to-day from Yeoga, stating that about 175 tramps were headed for this point. The message warned the police to be on their guard, as the “Weary Willies’’ were a desperate lot of characters, who would not hesitate to com- mit any kind of depredations. It is sup- osed that the gang will reach this city by reight trains during the night. In the meantime extra precaution has been taken to guard against any outbreak the roadsters may see fit to make.

THOUSANDS .SAW HIM FALL. Before He Started Up He Thought He Had Solved the Airship Problem. —— ~~ | Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 13:—The Journal has the following this morning: BERLIN, June 12.—The celebrated aero- naut, Dr. Woelfert, who for years had been endeavoring to perfect airships, and who last year on the occasion of the great in- dustrial exposition, made many successful ascents, to-day met a frightful fate. He had been busily occupied the last two months on an improved airship which eliminated all of the objectionable points interfering with the steering of the vessel. Learned papers over his signature on this subject had appeared in the _ scientific magazines of Europe, and the scientists ap- peared to be confident that the great problem of the century had been at last solved. The aeronaut announced that he would make the first public ascent with his invention this evening at 7 o’clock from the common, 7 The time was.awaited with expectancy by his friends, and especially by the officers of the aeronaut division of the German army. Hours before the ascent the crowds gath- ered. The doctor and assistant who was to accompany him seemed to be in good spir- its. At 7 o’clock all was in readiness for the great trial trip of what was anticipated would induce a revolution in aerial naviga- tion. Dr. Woelfert entered the car, followed by his assistant, and with a few parting words to his friends waved adieu as the ropes were cut. What surprised those who stood near enough to hear him were his words just as the car left the earth. “Either the ascent wil be successful or I will be a corpse,’ was distinctly heard by those who stood nearest to him. After the ballaon réached a height of 3,000 feet it suddenly stopped rising. At the same insent huge ‘tongues of flame darted from all sides of the balloon, a loud explosion was heard and a few sec- onds later the baileon seemed transformed into a flying mass Of fire. Burning’ pleces of the bag which was made entirely of silk, fell among th@ spectators. which was also ablaze, detached {tself from the ballon ‘and descended with ° fearful rapidity to the -ground. As soon as it reached the earth the crowds rushed to- ward it. Both of the occupants were found dead and their bodies orrtbly burned. The cause of the fatality was found to be an explosion of the benzine used in the steering gear motor. ROBBED THE MAIL. The Daughter of Postmaster Hunt of Oakland, Ill., Has Been Peculat- ing for Months. Special to the Post-Dispatch. OAKLAND, Ill., June 12.—At a late hour last night Post Office Inspector M. G. Price arrested Miss Elvira Hunt, daughter of Postmaster Hunt of thie city, for rifling the mails, M'‘ss Hunt being assistant to the postmaster. For a number of months letters containing money, sent from this city, fatled to reach their destination, while letters con- taining money addressed to residents of this city failed to materialize. The com- plaints as so numerous, the postal authorities sent Inspector Price here to dis- cover the cause. Price, yesterday morning fixed up four decoy letters, all containing one dollar bills. He rode out of town on the Clover Leaf train at noon, but found none of the letters. although two of them should have been dispatched on that mail. After the even:ng pouch had. been delivered to the train, the Imspector held the train while he examined the mail. None of the decoy let- ters were found in the pouch. Miss Hunt acknowledged to the Inspector that she had destroyed one letter, but had gent the money, a one dollar b'll, which Price had marked, to an Indianapolis firm for goods of some kind. This letter, the Post-office Inspector intercepted by a tele- ram before it was delivered. The girl con- essed to him that she had been tamperin with the mail since last September, an during that time hundreds of dollars have been lost to parties living in and near this city. Postmaster Hunt and daughter ap- peared before the United States Commis- sioner at Danville to-day and gave bond for her appearance !n thé Federal Court. Post- master Hunt is very wealthy and the girl, heretofore, has borne an _ unblemished reputation. A TRIBUTE TO BAYARD.

C., June 12.—The Re- publican Senators in their caucus to-day failed to reach any agreement on the Ha- wallan reolprocity treaty and adjourned with the understanding that another caucus would be help to-night or Monday. In the course of his speech in the caucus, Senator Frye said that the contemplated treaty of annexation with Hawall would not contain, as did the former treaty, a pro- vision appropriating $50,000 for ex-Queen Liliuokalani.. The President did not approve it and the Hawailan Government did not ask it. The Republican Senators were in caucus for two hours and devoted the entire time to an effort to agree upon a course of action to be pursued with regard to the Hawalian reciprocity treaty in connection with the sugar schedule of the tariff bill. The ws of the Senate at 12 o'clock forced an adjournment before there was time to reach a conclusion, and the caucus dispersed to meet again at 4:30 in the after- on, There were a half dozen different propos!- tions submitted to the saucus, the principal of which was the following: By Senator Frye, to leave it absolutely to the President to say what shall be done | with the treaty and providing against any interference with the provisions of the areety ponding any action he may take. By Senator Allison, a proposition very much in the same line as Senator Frye’s, but intimating more clearly to the Presi- dent the opinion of Congress that the treaty should be modified. “i$ Senator Perkins, notice Dit salint in inal.

By Senator Nelson, to abrogate the treaty absolutely after one year’s notice and giv- ing the notice as a proviso in connection with the sugar schedule. Senator rye said that the House provi- sion was ample or the Hawaiian question to meet the demands of aquny, with an addl- tional provision authorizing the President to enter Into negotiatians for a modification of the treaty. He stated that President McKinley was prepared to enter upon such a& negotiation and added that the Ha- walians were willing to meet him half way in the work. He made a vigorous de- fense of the treaty and policy of maintain- ing the closest sort of relation with Ha- wail, which had been settled and civilized by Americans. Senator Davis also spoke in defense of the treaty, going into a detailed argument to show that the relations between this owggaead A and the Hawalian Islands should be maintained upon the present reciprocal basis. He especially deprecated the effort to practically abrogate the treaty in any but the prescribed form of proceeding in such cases, 8-ounce bottle, 25c.

Parasols Senator Nelson of Minnesota led the fight in favor of the abrogation of the treaty. In support of his proposition Mr. Nelson presented many figures, showing that the imports from Hawa'i to this coun- try were much greater than the exports to Hawail, and he claimed that the reci- procity was in favor of the Hawallans. He took the last report of the Minister of F'- nance for the year ending Dec. 31, 1896, and said that the business of American vessels with Hawaii was about one-third as much as that done at the port of Duluth in M'‘nnesota. Senator Nelson sald further that an at- tempt had been made to: show that the Sugar Trust was trying’to have the treaty abrogated. This was contradicted by the fact that the- Senator from Maine (Frye), the most earnest advocate of the retention of the treaty in the caucus, had moved that the differential in favor of refined sugar be made one-quarter of'a cent, the highest differential advocated by anyone. Senator Frye emphatically resented the interference of the Minnesota Senator, and . Said that the two subjects could in no way be coupled together in that way.

He said that since the treaty American line and perhaps to suggest outlines for a treaty. capital had been going to the islands and No confirmation can be obtained as yet of The caucus, a The United States would be obliged to give up every policy enunciated by successive Presidents.from Tyler to the present time. The treaty had thrown the carrying trade into ships of the two nations, the greater pees mae | ships of the United States, and ewes tion would be an injury to this nation. Senators Chandler, Hoar and spoke for the maintenance of the treat pi Senator Perkins spoke at some length in support of his proposition which, as orig- ne y. presented, provided for giving the Hawalians a remission of one-third of the duty on thelr importations, At Senator Thurston's suggestion he modl- fied the proposition so as to make the rate in the future conform to the requirements of whatever treaty might be negotiated in the future. Senator Thurston announced himself to be decidedly in favor of abrogation, though he was, he said, a believer in the wisdom of the Hawalian Islands to the nited States. He said that if the present arrangement, which gives the Hawaiian sugar trust an annual gratuity of $9,000,000, was to be con- nued fn connection with the gratuity yes- terday voted to fhe American trust, which amounted to not lees than $5,000,000 a year it would be utterly impossible to defend the course of the Republican party. He said he had made his campaign last fall largely on the charge that the Democratic arty had sold out to the trust, and he did ‘ot view with equanimity the present pros- - pect with r to Republican legislation. us ren¢ try | would have practically the came eter. o . Thurston replied that annexa- tion would bring so many advantages of another character that he would forego any scruples he might have against the free ad- ission of «s in order to secure the is- pt relling: characterized e also te the walian sugar a ewes as a trust, and : denounced the Sugar schedule as a , He -an immediate vote, and not satisfactory to all. There were frequent references in the caucus to the probability of a new treaty for the annexation of Hawali, and it seemed to be quite generally understood that such a treaty was included among the possibil- ities for the near future. There appeared, however, to be no definite information as to the details, and the references were very general in character. No one assumed to speak for the President on this point, but so far as anything was said it was ap- parently based upon the supposition that the President was prepared to enter into negotiations looking to progns the islands under the protection 0 the stars and stripes, as a part of the United States. Senator Frye referred once‘or twice to the ossibility of annexation and Senators ecceetae and Nelson, who strenuously op- posed the continuance of the present treaty n effect, announced themselves as prepared to consider favorably the question of annex. ation on the theory that an arrangement for consolidation on that basis would be reci- rocal, whereas they contend the present eaty is entirely one-sided in its advan- tages. Senator Thurston contended that the best way to insure annexation would oe through abrogation of the existing eaty. CALLED ON DAY. Significant Conference Bearing on Ha- waiian Relations. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18.—Mr. Hatch, the Hawaiian Minister, and Lorin Thurston, ex-Minister to the United States, called at the State Department this after- noon and spent half an hour in close con- sultation with Assistant Secretary Day. They said upon coming away that their business was unimportant, but declined to state its nature. All that could be gathered from the State Department was that the visit had no reference to the trouble that Hawaii is experiencing in the effort to con- tro] the entry and colonization of Japanete laborers. As it is well known, however, the report that the Hawaiian Lega<ion here has made the demands of the Jupanese Minister at Honolulu the subject of repre- sentations to the State Department, yet it is not doubted that the State Dcpart:nent is acquainted with the details of the notes exchanged on this subject from one source or another perhaps through Consul-Generil Mills at Honolulu, if not through the Hawaiian Legation here.It is not the policy of the State Department to commit itself needlessly in advance upon such quest.ons as are presented in this controversy be- tween Japan and the little island republic, but if it appears that Hawaili 1s but none of ing upon exercising a right in the reguia- tion of emigration that the United States has asserte without i on | from n urce, it may re that Hawaii will receive the support of our Government to that extent at least.

SOME TRENCHANT STROKES AT THE SUGAR TRUST. WHY WALL STREET IS HAPPY. Senator McEnery Stood Up for the Trust and Denounced the Cot- ton Compress Combine. WASHINGTON, Jhtne 12.—The preliminary business in the Senate to-day was brief and unimportant. Mr. Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska Introduced a resolution upon which he said he would later address the Senate, declar- ing against the distinetion made in special pension bills between the widows of offi- cers and privates. At 12:15 the consideration of the tariff bill was resumed, the pending amendment being that of Senator Jones of Arkansas to strike out in line 2, page 63, the words “on all su- gars. Mr. Vest (Missouri) took the floor and called the majority to answer the declara- Wons made by the minority that the present sugar schedule gave a large imcrease of protection to the Sugar Trust. His side, he gaid, had made the first direct issue. The @ugar Trust was now making 20 per cent on its enormous watered stock. Its offi- ¢ials had admitted it. In view of this fact it was due the minority and the country that an explanation should be made by the ether side. Sut what was the reply of the majority to challenges of the minority? It was that {in le&ving out the counterveiling duty of eee eighths of a cent there was no increase. But what*he wanted to know was what it was if that three-eighths was included. By what sort of legerdemain was it to be excluded? he asked. Mr. Vest repeated his statement of Wednesday that the protection of 9% degrees sugar was increased by the caucus amendment over the original Senate ‘amendment 5 cents per hundred pounds. It was 66 eents in the schedule adopted yester- day égainst 4 cents jn the present law. He went into an elaborate calculation, using, he sald, Mr. Aldrich’s figures as a basis, and challenged the majority to disprove his cal- culations. “These figures,” said he, pas- g@ionately, “should be admitted or dis- proved, that Senators may take their re eponsibility here.” The schedule, he insisted, was utterty in- defensible. The only excuse he had heard advanced was that of Senator Allison yes- terday that this duty was imposed, not for revenue, but to encourage the beet sugar industry. “Oh, Mr. President,” cried Mr, Vest in the course of his speech, “our experts may be mistaken; we may be in. the fog ringing our bells, but I repeat again what I said the othcr day, that there was one set of men in this country who were not mis- taken. Our friends in Wall street know what this schedule means,” he said, his voice ris- ing. “Within four hours after this schedule Was reported sugar stock went up share, from 118 to 124.

It was his maiden speech in the Sen- ate, and much interest was manifested as he began. In opening, he referred to the denunciation of the Sugar Trust as a cor- poration which was crushing the life blood out of the consumer. But the Trust was mot the only organization, he said, which Was meeting with the condemnation of the people and helping to reduce them to beg- gary. In the South he declared there was @ trust ‘that sought to throttle the people. Beside it the Sugar Trust's oppressions and exactions were insignificant. It was the trust which controlled a new process of ba}- ing cotton. That company sought to bale and control the cotton of the South. Its interests were directly opposed to those of the cotton planters. The interests of the sugar producers, on the contrary went hand in hand with those of the Sugar Trust's. The interests of both were bound together. If differential on refined sugar was not main.- “tained, a blow would be struck at the pro.- ducer, and every big factory would be idle. I don’t See the patriotism,” shouted Mr. Mclnery im stentorian tones, “of trying to bring down the Sugar Trust, an institution more nat-onal than any other dealt with by Why should Senators on this Bide of the chamber strike at us? Why should a sword be run through the body of an infant to reach the body of a giant? It is not manly, brave nor courageous.” He next went back and reviewed the his- tory of sugar production and said it showed that with proper protection and legislation we would produce all our own sugar and would export sugar. It would require 150 factories to make this sugar.

(The Murdered Man.) second assault was made. It was a repe- tition of the first. The big man knocked his enemy down, and the latter made no attempt at revenge. Then some one said the editor’s bravery had evidently left him, and still others insisted that he would take anything if it was necessary in order to shield Miss Brown’s name. And she? Everybody marveled at her rémaining in the Mayor’s office. Her apolo- gists said she was compelled to in order to gain a livelihood. Her father, as stated be- fore, is landlord of the Monument House, but he is only a tenant, the property be. longing to Mr. Richards. At any rate she remained and was at her desk as usual yesterday morning. Shortly before noon yesterday Capt. Hed- ley visited the G. A. R. rooms, which are over McPherson’s hardware store on the main street. The Captain is commander of the G. A. R. Post at Bunker Hill, and he weht to the quarters to sign a paper which had been issued at a meeting the night be- fore. Having done this and conversed for a few minutes with an old comrade, he walkea downstairs and entered the store for a chat with James McPherson, the proprietor. While they were talking the noon-day whistles blew. Among those who left desks and stores to go to dinner was a young wom- an who came out of the Mayor’s office and walked down the street. She was Ella Brown, and she bowed to Mr. Hedley, who at this time was standing on the pave- ment. She had gone but half a block when Mr. McPherson caught Hedley by the arm and exclaimed: ‘Took out! There comes Richards, and he has blood in his eye.”’ *“T am ready for him now,” was all the Hit- tle man said. The Mayor approched, walking rapidly. The editor stood stock still on the pave- ment. The two were within reach of hands when the Mayor said: “Why don’t you speak when you meet me on the street, Hedley? Let's live up to our agreement.”’ The reply was not overheard by those near By. It was followed by a blow deliv- ered by the big man, one similar to the others he had struck. This blow reversed the positions of the two. Hedley swung out toward the road and Richards was near the store door. There was a cry from Mr, McPherson, “Look out!” and his son Harry came run- ning out. st The editor had a revolver levelled and was. taking steady aim. He did not say a word, Richard’s right hand reached into his hip pocket. Still the editor did not fire. The Mayor withdrew the hand empty and stooped down. There were some plow points lying on the sidewalk and he seemed reaching for them. Two shots in quick succession rang out and the Mayor staggered. Then with an effort he started after Capt. Hedley, who had replaced the revolver in his pocket, turned and was walking rapidly up the street. “Coward! You coward!” he shouted. “Catch him, Jim!’—these words to a negro who was standing near. But the last monosyllable was weak, for persons running down -the street and sur- mised that the Mayor’s friends were rallying. He was not mistaken, For several hours there was talk of lynching. The villagers had never been so stirred up, and another tragedy might have been enacted, and probably “would have been, but for the editor’s prompt action. In company with the clergyman he sought out the village Constable and gave him- self up, suggesting that it might be wise to remove him. A livery team was se- cured, and twenty minutes after the shots were fired Mr. Hedley was being driven across country to Carlinville, a distance of twenty miles. Arrived there he was placed in the county jail. At 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon Dr. H. H. Mudd, 2604 Locust street, received a tele- gram from Bunker Hill urging his attend- ance, as the Mayor of the town had been shot. ,At 2:26 a second message came, It read: “Hurry. Take a special train.” The surgeon’s assistant, Dr. Alvah M. Wilson, telephoned the general manager of “tthe Big Four and asked him if a special train could be had. At 3:10 an answer came: “Train will be ready in 20 minutes,”’ it eaid, A carriage was in readiness, That there was a wild drive from Twenty-sixth street and Locust, and across the Eads bridge is evident, for the surgeon and his assistant reached the Relay Depot in East St, Louis at exactly 3:30. Standing in the yards, steam roaring from the safety valve, was Engine 199. She had been on the Knickerbocker express for six months and had just come Out of the re- pair shop after a few days tn which the mechanism had been inspected, Attached to the locomotive was caboose No. 134. Sharp at 3:31 the start was made. Bunker Hill was thirty-five miles ‘distant. Henry Strickland, the engineer, threw the throttle wide open, and Milt Dawson labored like a worker in a coal mine shoveling black diamonds into the furnace. Conductor W. W. Simpson had the right of way, except for one train. The caboose seemed to be lifted’ from tne rails as it was torn through the air py the monster locomotive. They had to glow up at a crossing and stop twice; once for water at East Alton, and again at Dorsey for tne express, The spectal arrived at Bunker Hil at , o'clock.

The opportunity comes “in the nick of time,"’ because the hot weather is most propitious for very light wear. The story is simply and plainly told. . A shirt- waist manufacturer of the effete East, whose name and brand of goods is synony- mous with style, quality and fashion, had on hand about 2,500 dozen high-class, stylish ehirt waists, made of imported French lawn,-: dimities, percales, French lappets and real Irish linens, made Mr. Hillman of Siegel, Hillman & Co. a price, which he, the maker, has since regretted, and is so much ashamed of its insignificance that he has stipulated that his name or brand of goods shall not be given publicity, but as each waist has the GPPEENG tector Ds take up too much room to carry Adjustable them over till next year.

Olive and Pine brand sewed on it, the buyer will readily recognize it as a standard of merit when they see the goods. This is beyond doubt the largest exclusive purchase of shirt- waists ever made by oy concern either wholesale or retail outside of New York City, and when the fact is taken into con- sideration that two special cars were neces- sary to bring these goods to St. Louis on the Wabash fast freight, some idea can be had of the enormous amount of goods. When the public also takes into consideration the fact that Siegel, Hillman & Co. are going to inaugurate a shirt-waist sale the like of which was never held before this enormous undertaking can be appreciated by the la- dies to Whom it is almost if not wholly exclusively interested. Mr, Hillman in speaking of the deal to a representative of the Post-Dispatch, said he was actuated in making this purchase simply by motives of gaining advertising. That while he bought shirt waists at ridiculously low prices (in fact, less than cost of making), he was not going to attempt to make a profit-making sale out of this great event. In fact, the public could expect and would find that they could purchase them at actually and posi- tively one-third of their real bona fide values. And while 2.30 dozen is a great many shirt waists at the prices offered for the character and qualities of the goods, and the positively ‘“‘up-to-hour’” style, they will not stay on Siegel, Hillman & Co.’s coun- ters for many days. The_ladies are there- fore cautioned and warned that ff they de- sire to partake in what might be termed a veritable bargain festival, they must get to Siegel, Hillman & Co.'s early Monday morn. ing.

Capt. Billy Williamson Tells of the Good Old Days of Four-Mile Heat Races. Among the horsemen at the Fair Grounds rack are many who have all their lives een on the turf, Some took to it voluntarily and others got into it through force of cir- cumstances. Most of the horsemen are in- teresting story tellers, and when asked “what was the best horse race you ever saw?’ a good story is sure to come out. Here are.a few given the Post-Dispatch by those at the track yesterday: Capt. Billy Williamson, the veteran turf- man, has a memory that goes back to the times when most of the men now on the track wore swaddling clothes. Before the war Capt. Williamson was a horseman, and after he had finished fighting in the Con- federate Army he went to Alabama and @gain got to racing horses with the excep- tion of a few years when he was Chief of Police at Mobile. He was the partner of the late Capt.. Cottrell, the Moblie turfman who owned Buchanan and Buckden, two of the most sensational racers the turf ever de- veloped. “Every year,” said Capt. Williamson, ‘“‘T wee sOme good races, but the whole tendency now is to breed for short distances and con- 6equently for speed. In the good old times if @ man owned a sprinter and wanted to race him he had to take his horse to Texas or the plains, for all the sportsm-n’s races be- tween the great race horses were at three nd four-mile heats, the best three in five. ake it all in all 1 think the greatest and the best horse race I have ever saw was run in Columbus, Ga., in the spring of 1858. it Was at four-mii. heats, two in three, and the starters were the great mare Sue Wash- ington, Charleston and Frankfort, a Ken- tucky owned horse. All three horses were owned in the South; for at that time a race horse was a thing unknown in the North or West. ‘‘In those days there were no grand stands and none of the modern race-track conven- jences' we wou!d now find it impoesible to do without. Gentlemen went to the races on horseback or with their families in their coaches, preceded and followed by an im- posing retinue of niggers, and @ race Was @n ali-dgy affair. ‘Such a thing as more than one raceina day was unknown. ‘The gentlemen spent the time between the heats over the social julep or wine bottle, in paying their re- spects to the lad:es, in exchanging news and views and in @iscussine the race. There Were no such beings as bookmakers and each gentlernen made his own book. ‘Colonel, I'll wager you a thousand that Charlesion wins the race, or $00 on each ““Taken, Major,’ and .each gentleman pulled out his notebook and made an entry of the bet. These were the debts of honor, and they were paid before the Colonel or he (Major would pay off the mortgage upon is plantation or estates. In this way the ublic never knew how much money was ragered on a horse, but: the sum that was bet the day those three great horses met would cause a whole ring full of the book- qakers of to-day to drop dead with fright, “That day the track was lined all around with carriages, from which the horses had een removed and stabled. Between the vehicles and the railing the servants stood, The attendance was tremendous, The own- ers of the horses had been months in ar- fanging the race, and the followers of the Various owners thought his particular horse was the best. There was great interest in he race, and upwards of $100,000 changed ands when the final heat was run, to say mothinge of the great sums that circulated from one pocket into another and back @gain as the initial heats were run, Plenty of even money could be got that any one eae in the race would beat any other orse. Charleston won the first heat, and his followers were jubilant. Frankfort took the second heat, and the backers of the ood mare were despondent, but Sue Wash- ngton came to the front in the third heat, after the horses had raced about three and half miles, all so close together that a lanket would have covered them. Sue drew off in the stretch and won the heat. “The three horses had now raced twelve giles each, and each had won a heat. For the fourth and the oe heat the excite- ment was intense, and all the spectators, even to the niggers, were at fever heat. A rattling pace was set from the start by the mare, and the two others ran up to it. After traveling three miles Sue Washington burnt the other two horses up, and they began to lag’ behind. It was seen that the mare had the heat and the race won, and a mighty shout went up. The other horses stuck amely to their task, and at the end of the eat they finishéd lengths apart, with Sue Washington the winner and the best of the three. iach of those horses had raced —— miles. In those days they bred race orses and not sprinters. Stamina is what wen then, “I recall another great race,” continued Capt. Williamson, “but it was run ata much later day. Heat races were still considered the great races, but the distance had been cut from three and four miles to one mile. It was in New Orleans, in 1873, and a big stake was to be run off. There was a tre. mendous crowd of people at the track and there was plenty of money in the game, The stake was at mile heats, the best three in five, probably harder on a horse than the three and four-mile heats, because in those at the longer distances the horses gen- erally had a chance to loaf during the greate DANCER IN SODA. Serious esiitieiicehatenes Follow its Excessive Use. Common soda is all right in its and indispensable in the ison A gw cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended for a medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret it. We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice al- most daily, and one which is fraught with danger; moreover the soda only gives temporary relief, and in the end the stom- ach trouble gets worse and worse, The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels, and cases are on record where it accumu- lated in the intestines, causing death by inflammation or peritonitis, Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys vepsia) an excellent preparation sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab- lets are large 20 grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly before it has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he invariab! uses Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach derangements and finds them a certain cure not only for stomach, but by penmptly digesting the food the create a healthy: appetite, increase fle and strengthen the action of the heart and liver.

There were five starters in the race, but two of them didn’t and they were not in it. I have ey gotten who were the jockeys, but if I am not mistaken Billy Lakeland, who for sey. eral years has had one of the greatest strings in the East, was one of the riders. Two of the starters, Hampton and ame udley, belonged to Sandford of New York, who h a stable and was then racing in the South for the first time. “Sanford’s horses were about the most formisete on the track, and his two en- tries sold away over the field in the betting. There was a tremendous crowd and very few people were able to see anything in the race save the entry. Hampton won the first heat by a neck from Madame Dudley, and the others finished away back, but in- side the distance flag. Madame Dudley won the second heat by the same room she was beaten by Hampton in the first..A before the other horsere were back and Narrowly escaped the flag. The entry, af-| ter thie heat, sold in the pools at about 5 to 1 over the field. The horses started for the third heat. With half a mile gone Sauce Box went to the front and gtayed there to the finish. He had laid u uring but, even after win- ning the third he was not considered dan- gerous to Sanford’s pair. They gave him a race in the fourth heat, but Sauce Box won it. The betting changed only then, and for the result Sauce Box sold even with the fleld In the fifth heat Sauce Box simply had no trouble in winning and yy - the race. It was but seldom a horse could lay up twice and win then in three straight heats. And the class of horses Sauce Box beat made his performance the more remarkable. “Looking back over an experience of nearly fifty years on the turf I can recall many sensational races, but I regard tnose two as the most remarkable and the best horse races I ever saw.” : CLEC ECE KECK EHD 55559599555 555D555555D5DD5DD>D>> During the past few years Joseph A. Mur- hy,the presiding judge at the Fair Grounds, as watched many races from the judges stand, and before them he wrote many horse races in the reporters’ box. He knows what a horse race is. “There are two races which I recall as the most exciting I ever witnessed,” said Judge Murphy, “and as I saw them from two en- tirely diffrent points of view I cannot de- termine which of the two interested me the most. One of them was Morello’s famous effort in the Wheeler Handicap at Chicago, and the other was the Derby here last year when Prince Lief beat Ben Brush a nose for a $20,000 stake. I saw the Morello race in the capacity of a turf reporter, and the Derby in the capacity of a judge, and the two positions are so widely at variance that one’s sensations in witnessing them are rad- ically different. ‘There is a bit of unwritten history in connection with the Derby which served to make the race even more exciting for John Carter and myself. When the horses were going to the: post Byron McClelland, Prince Lief’s owner, came into the stand and asked us to watch Ben Brush, as he had a habit of bumping horses and carrying them into the rail. When Dwyer’s horse and Prince Lief locked at the eighth pole they had a reguiar bumping match from there home, With the prospect of-a nose finish and a chance for a claim of foul in a $20,000 stake, the finish was exciting enough to suit me. Luckily Prince Lief won. “The Morello race was the most spark- ling performance I ever saw. Maid Marian was at least ten lengths in front of him, a half mile from home, when he set sail after the flying filly, and, gradually overhauling her, won in 2:0 for a mile and a quarter, the enthusiasm of the 12,000 people as- sembied amounted almost to frenzy.’’ Bookmakers are generally the. closest of form students. They watch every horse in the race from start to finish, and generally make the best sort of handicap- ers, Walter Gunnisom of the Orleans book as been on the line for a number of yearn. “The best horse race I ever watched,” said Mr. Gunnison, ‘‘was undoubtedly the battle between Proctor Knott and Spokane in the Kentucky Derby at Louisville in May, 1889. As a 2-year-old Proctor Knott had swept the Western and Eastern stakes and had taken down the great Futurity at Morris Park. As a 3$-year-old he started first at Nashville in a stake known as ‘The Thousand,’ and won it with such ridiculous ease that he showed his 8-year-old class to be as good as had been his 2-year-old form. In the Derby his stable compaion, Come-to- Taw, put in by Sam Bryant to make the running for Proctor and to choke off the other horses until time for the great chestnut to make his race. Spokane had been training at thg Downs for some weeks, and the rail birds"were all on to him, but the general public would have none of his ame. There was a, great desire to see roctor Knott, and the attendance was tremendous. “On Derby day the field inside the oval rails is free and there must have been 60,- 000 people standing in the sun to see the race. The grand stands and the terraces were packed, and it was probably the big- gest crowd ever assembled on a Southern race track. The books beé $2 against $10 that Proctor would not wia and threw Come-to-Taw in as a lagniappe. Three and four to one were the odds against Spokane, and there were many who played the Western colt rather than take the short end of Proctor Knott, Come-to-Taw split the track wide open for the first mile and was done. Proctor and Spokane then took up the running and came into the stretch together, Spokane next to the rail and Proctor up with him and but a few fget to the right. “About 200 yards from the finish was a stable gate through which Proctor used to enter the track and leave for Bryant’s stable, which was situated outside the ounds. When the horses reached this gate roctor was going like a bullet shot from a gun and so was Spokane, but it looked like Proctor’s ong ag would 2 day- light between him and Spokane. was at the far end of the betting shed, 100 yards from this gat>. it Proctor ewerved and jumped over towards the gate. He lost his stride, and Kiley, who was on Spokane, took advantage of the oc- casion and urged Spokane on. Proctor was a great, strong mouthed hors?, and he lost at least two lengths by his swerve before the boy could straighten him out again. “Tt had been eaid that Proctor Knott, un. like his great sire, Luke Blackburn, was a quitter. But hs didn’t quit that time. He started with his great jumps for Spokane and was beaten out only b the fastest time in which the Kentucky Derby had ever been run. If swerved Proctor would have won by tww lengths. If he had swerved forty yards further away from the wire he would have the good.”’ George Braxford is a native of Texas, and | he is a product of what is called “bush” racing. On the ‘“‘bush” circuit, which in-/| horseman had a string of two or three trotting and pacing horses, two or three uarter-mile runners, and two or three ozen game chickens.

Sam Bryant, most shining | gh rg of this schoo! of sportsmen, and that is why Proctor Knott was always ridden by a ce in a yellow jacket with a | red, black and blue ggme cock embroidered on the back of it. “But that’s another story.” “The greatest race, or rather the three greatest races,"" said Braxford, “for they were all most intimately asgsoclated with each other, were in Texas. I had a few good trotters and some _ quarter horses, among them a half breed named Spread Adder. He was the quickest getting off and the fastest thing at running a quarter that ever looked through harness. There was a horse, pirapees Bilt. named for his owner, who was always broke, or seamed to be, and some Marvelous stories racing in another part of the State, and Sprea had some words with the starting judge. [ won't call his name because he is still officiating down in Texas, although this was in 1877, and he is @ pretty handy man with a gun. Our words led to an argument and I knocked him down. My trotter was beaten, the race being on its merits. The next week we went up to the last stand be- fore Dallas. There two surprises awaited me. Strapped Bill had come 4 miles to the fair and his owner expected to sweep the card with him. The second was that the man who had been start judge and whom I had knocked down, was there as presiding judge. I bet a good deal of money on Spread Adder to beat Strapped Bill, two in three, half eile heats, and then took a few drinks. he Adder beat Bill’s horse @ ood length in each of the first two heats, ut that man I had knocked down was in the jJudge’s stand, and he disqualified my — ely pei drunk. 1 “I sta the Adder against Stra Bi the second day, and won the first wees The second heat was close, but Adder won by ualified me for being As the two horses reached * «qe **. would attend this most families and best dressers of St. Louis.

Louis Jockey Club etretches a point to interest the public, the fickle crowd finds something else to pat- ronize. Of the six races on the card yesterday four were at a mile and upwards, one of the dashes was a double heat event and in the second sprint a bunch of the best 2-year-olds at the track were carded to sport silk. True the class throughout was not high, but the 2-year-old race and the stake event brought out as good as there is in the West. For all that the Saturday crowd at the Fair Grounds was on the shady side of the 5,000 mark. Those who braved the heat found a spot where cool breezes blew over green fields, an exciting day’s sport and ten bookmakers. whose anxiety for an argu- ment: was surprisingly keen. George Rose above oa]] showed cast-iron nerve. He held Souffle at 4 to 5 and a continuous shower of greenbacks couldn’t make him rub a point. Another instance of liberality was the price on Harry McCouch in the stake event. It was a four-horse race and Huff- man’s gelding was held at 60, 10 and 2 tol. A lot of wise money went in on the show end of the proposition. The card opened peg yg with a win for Joe Lucas’ Queen Safie. he fleet little mare was heavily backed by the club-house contingent and she never gave them a chance to quake for their money. After the first quarter she romped away from her field. Zephyrus, who was thought to be in the argument, died like a dog.

He was made a prohibitive favorite at 2to 5. The rest could be had at any old price and most of them went abegging. Anger showed his canine qualities after the three quarters and died away.

As has frequently been the case this year among the youngsters there was another upset and the favorite Frohman was away back in the ruck when Previous, M. F.

Dwyer’s good colt, was in secone place and | the Morris colt, Varus, Was third, the oth-| ers being nowhere. There was a prompt and good start and by the time they reached the timing flag, Hand Ball was in front with Previous and Aratoma close up, all the jockeys doing a bit of urging. During the first quarter there was no change among the leaders, but those be- hind changed places constantly, As they neared the head of the stretch Varus came ‘out of the bunch and set sail for the ‘leaders. By the time they had straightened out for home Hand Bali and Varus were a little in front, with the other two back straight heats. Best time Sharper, Bay Baron, Fieldmen, and Brevet also started.

NEW YORK, June 12.—Ideal base ball ‘weather greeted the Giants and Browns when they trotted out for practice at the Polo Grounds th's afternoon. The bright sunshine and warm, balmy air brought out a fair crowd of rooters. The sun grew very warm and beat down on the bleachers till coats were cast aside and hats and programmes were utilized as fans. Both teams were late in coming out for practice, and the spectators grew a trifle impatient. A few minutes after the ac- customed time the Giants walked across the diamond and rece!ved a few handclaps and words of consolation for yesterday's de- feat. The victory of Ewing’s men led to a big shake up in the batting order, War- mer was rewarded for his excellent work by being raised. Von der Ahe’s men first, and their fi served by the rootés. hey were easy victims for Joyce’s men when they last met, but Von der Ane “was confident that the fecent infusion of Phila- delphia stock would greatly ‘mprove their work. The local ‘‘fans’’ doubted this, how- ever, and were willing to give good odds on the New Yorks. , “Kid Carsey appeared with St. Louis r the first time this afternoon, nd stated that he had come to terms with the German magnate who controls destiny of the Browns. Von der Ahe was weil pleased with Carsey’s work and put him in to twirl against the Giants. He mystified the rooters by appearing in a Philadelphia uniform, Joyce picked out Meekin and Warner to fill the points for New York. The game: Turner fouled out. Hallman was nipped easily attempting to steal second. Lally pushed a slow bounder to Gleason. - Van Haltren reached third through the poor playing of the Browns and crossed the piste, but the umpire declared him out. leason forced Davis at second, but Tiernan sprinted home, bringing in the Giants’ first run, Warner sent the team to the field with a long fly that Turner couldn't help getting. The second was slow and runless. In the third the incidents were tame. In the fourth Grady’s hit sailed out to the left field ropes, but Holmes caught it after a@hardrun,. Joyce handled Harley's hit and nipped him by a quick throw to first. Cross earned two bags on a terrific drive along the third base line. Van Haltren ran back a few steps and caught Murphy's line fly.. No preliminary work y was closely ob- ns, Warner slashed one over Carsey’s head, but Cross got the sphere and tossed it to rady, retiring the batter. Cross and Gra. y attended to Clar at first. Holmes’ liner was too hot for Hallman and he got to first. Meekin earned a storm of ap- lause by ae | to center that promoted Holmes to third. Meekin stole second a moment later. Van Haltern came to the rescue with a corking two-bagger to center that scored Holmes and Meekin. Tiernan had a good eye and waited for a pass to ala Joyce popped a foul to Murphy.

Hardly a day passes that the sporting édition is not afflicted with the woes of the wounded and broken base ball fans. Many of these diatribes on Von der Ahe and his aggregation would not look well in a family newspaper. Here is one that arrived yes- terday from a young East Side reader. It is more sincere than elegant; but it is not to be inferred that the ambitious critic would make as many errors in nine innings as he does in the nine parts of speech.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 12.—It is un- derstood to-day that the base ball deal in which Dickson and Talcott are interested is likely to go through, and that they will s00n own the Indianapolis and Cleveland clubs. President Golt of the Indianapolis Club said this morning that he knew noth- ing of the completion of the Cleveland end of the deal. The theatrical firm had a 60-day option on the Indianapolis Club, which will not run out for nearly a month. If the trade has been made, Indianapolis will have National League ball within a few weeks. It is not known what disposi- tion will be made of the Indianapolis West- ern League team, but it is thought it will be transferred to Cleveland. The Pennant Race.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 12.—Tom Sharkey has an excellent opinion of himself. It is such a good one that he thinks there is no one in the pugilistic world who can come within a mile of him. Just where Mr. Sharkey has secured his reputation is not clear to every one, but he claims to be the kingpin of all the gentlemen who make a livelihood by giving jabs and upper-cuts. This is what Mr. Sharkey has to say about himself: “T am now the champion of the world and will defend the title against all com- Sharkey as much, the ring, the wor Fitzsimmons, them.” DENVER SMITH IN TOWN.

KING NO-T0-BAC'S Supremacy Fast Being Established. Almost Without Exception the Free Samples Leading to Purchase of Full Treat- ment, Under Guarantee of Cure, Reports of the beneficial effects from the free gamples of No-To-Bac are constantly coming in. Whis free distribution of samples has certainly re- gulted in the casting aside of skepticism by our citizens, as far as No-To-Bac is concerned. There fe no question but what No-To-Bac has found a place in the hearts and confidence of the people by this honest method of proving its merit. Thou- sands upon thousands of tobacco users will have their attention turned to their physical condition and be led to seek the true cause, perhaps never before suspected, the nervating and emasculating tobacco habit. There are armies of people who use tobacco, and, strange as it may seem, never think of tracing their aches and pains, their debilitated vitality, weakened mental energy and depleted mervous reserve to the most virulent poison known —Nicotine. You meet men every day who enough,’’ but have lost that snap, tion, magnetic nerve force, which formerly char- acterized them. They use tobacco. In the course of time, perhaps of years, their bodies, the en- tire structure, nerve tissues, brain cells, blood substance, all become gradually impregnated with nicotine poison. It is-a slow form of suicide, either~ physical, mental or moral suicide. since the invention of the modern cigarette of commerce, the process is cut much shorter, and we read every day of murder, insanity and death caused by nic- otine applied in this form. All forms are equaily as bad, and it is only a question of time before de- struction takes place. No-To-Bac will save you. It is a’ nerve food which strengthens the nerve centers, and in ad- dition is a specific antidote to nicotine, and the strongest vitalizing tonic ever discovered. It will cure not only the tobacco disease, but under roper circumstances alcoholism and the narcotic Patite as well. All those suffering from nervous debHity from ‘any other cause should take No-To- Bac, as a most invigorating tonic and stimulant. It will make a man of you. ‘feel well vigor of ac- No-To-Bac is for sale by all druggists in St. Louis under our written guarantee of cure. Two size boxes, 50c and $1.00. LINDELL HOTEL.

FILLEY LEADS THE LIST. rr Mayor’s Delegates to the Transmissis- sippi Commercial Congress. Mayor Ziegenhein announced yesterday the appointment of the following delegates to the ninth convention of the Transmiss's- sippi Commercial Congress, to be held at Salt Lake City, Utah, July 14: Hon.

The season of park concerts should have begun this week, but it is delayed because the Mayor has not selected the bands which are to make the music. When the bids were opened it was found that all the bands had entered into a b= orca tal and made exactly the same bids. othing remained for Park Commiss! nl to do eg — a detention ‘from ré number of band che bidding. 8 represented in 6 was about to do so, as he had 4 former seasons, when Mayor iehemaetineen har terposed and took the responsibility off his hands. Mr. Ridgley in past seasons has his selections very arefull d tri a hara carefully and trie ard to keep up the high grade of the music. The selections this year, it is presumed will not be made entirely on the basis of “Clover”? To-N ight. The management at Koerner’s Theater has decided to repeat “Clover” to-night. To-morrow night ‘'Boccaccio” will have its initial performance. Park —_ A GOUD TnING AT COUNTERFEITING —_— HENRY BR. BAKER WAS TOO BOLD AND GOT CAUGHT. TELLS HOW HE WORKED IT. Made and Passed Spurious Silver Dollars in St. Louls for Over a Year. Harry R. Baker, alias Bailey, one of the boldest and most successful counterfeiters who ever operated tn St. Louis, was ar- rested by Detectives O'Connell and Dewar ast night, as he was leaving his room at 1418 Morgan street. His entire counterfelt- ing apparatus, the finest ever seen in the Four Courts, was confiscated and Baker confesses fully to his crime. For nearly a year he has been at work in the city and though he has made thousands of spurious dollars and has successfully passed them he managed to escape detec- tion. When arrested Baker had $35 in bogus silver dollars. He also had $7.85 in good ‘ teliigence when he spea His hair‘is jet black, and | flock mustache adorns his momar Rs = eyes are black, and they sparkle with in- On the left side of his face there is a large scar, the result of a burn, Both hands are disfigured on account of burns. “These scars,”’ he sald, “are what caused me to be caught. I received them last Oc. tober, while experimenting with some metais. I was laid u at the City Hos. mee ed five weeks cause of ac- ciden “I had been making some experiments, and left a small kerosene stove burning. A new set of molds was on tHe stove harden- ing.

I entered the English havy when I was a small boy. When I was 15 years old I tired of that life and ran away. I came to America and worked my way out West. I worked in the s‘lver mines in Colorado, and then went to Texas. When the Chero- kee strip was opened I went to the Indian Territory. I remained there until last Julv, when I came to St. Louis. “I never made any counterfeit money un- til I came here. I had thought about the business for a long time and studied chem- istry and metallurgy and when I came here it was my intention to become a counter- feiter. I had a few dollars in good money when I struck the town, but that was soon spent and all the money I have had since was counterfeit. “Now, I want to say that nobody helped me. I rented a room at 1418 Morgan street not long ago from a family named Alexan- der. That was where I was arrested. I told them I was a gambler and I was always careful that they should never see in my room when I was at work. ‘“‘When I first came here I rented a room -_-—-—- y* eo. niet Z 4 poy yo wy ‘ wh fA : ve ‘ ;¢ _"“~ ‘ Hy he, ‘ty £ "* Ke » ._—" x a‘, Se SS . ee “ HARRY R.

There were five molds, a large quantity of the metal mixed ready for use and all the tools and implements necessary for the manufacture of the counterfeit dol- lars. Baker’s methods were bold. He made only dollars and adopted the usual mode of pass- ing them, He had no confederate, he claims, and no one knew of his business. He would enter a store or a saloon, make a small purchase and tender one of the counterfeit dollars in payment, receiving good money in change. In case the coin was questioned he always had a genuine dollar closé at hand ready to offer in its place. But his counterfeit was so clever it was seldom questioned. It was the boldness of his operations that led to his detection and capture. He dressed well and rode a fine bicycie. Two months ago he rode up in front of a baker shop and confectionery store, owned by an old woman near Forest Park. He bought a glass of soda water and gave a bogus dollar in payment. The counterfeit was not detected and he was given 9% cents in change, Later, the woman found the coin was counterfeit. Two weeks ago Baker entered the same lace. He ordered a glass of soda water. he proprietress recognized him and de- termined to trap him. She waited on him, and when he rode away on his wheel she sent her son after him on his wheel. Baker is an expert wheelman, and the young man had all he could do to keep in sight. He followed Baker to Nineteenth and Morgan streets, where he lost sight of im. Then the old woman reported the matter to Chief Desmond. The chief will not give her name, She gave an accurate descrip- tion of Baker, and Detetives O’Connell and Dewar were detailed on the case. For two weeks they worked before they were con- gratulated by the Chief and the Four Courts officials on their success, Baker had just started out for a ride on his wheel when he was seen by the de- tectives. He answered the description, and was halted. He made no denial and led the officers to his room on the second floor. There his paraphernalia was found in a big, blue chest. He inted it out. A patrol wagon was called and Baker and his outfit were taken to the Four Courts. He was taken before the Chief and made e full statement and showed how he made is money and told how he passed it, Baker is % years old, of medium height and weighs about 150 pounds. He is hand- some, has @ pleasant voice and cultivated manners. He wore bicycle trousers, golf stockings and a new pair of neat tan shoes. His shirt was silk, and around his throat he wore a blue silk scart. tied in a sailor knot. ANOTHER HILTS SCOOP.

I told the peo- ple there, too, that.I was a gambler.” Whén asked to explain how he made the spurious coins, Baker arose and opening his chest, which was against Chief Des- mond’s desk, took from it a pair of moulds, “These are brand new,’ he said. ‘‘They are made of plaster of paris. I made them myself. I took a new good dollar and laid it on a piece of glass. Here igs the glass,” he said exhibiting a plate about 4 inches square. “I put the dollar in the center and then built a box around it. hen I threw in the paste. It was made very thin so it would show every line on the dollar. It took several days for the plaster to-dry. Then I put the cast on an oil etove to harden it. ‘There is no silver in the metal I used in making the money. The compos.:tien is one- sixth antimony and the remainder tin. I bought the antimony from a chemical house on Fourth street. The tin I got on Morgan street, near the levee. After casting my money, I finished it with a knife and file. Then | silver-plated it.

I was caught dead to rights an know I will be sent up. I want to be sent to court as soon as possible. Then I will plead guilty and take my medicine.” Among the stuff found by the detectives were several electro-plating outfits, a large quantity of metal, ladles, stoves, powders plaster for more molds, chemicals, an everything that could possibly be used by a coiniacker. There were half a dozen books on electro-metallurgy, medical electricity, etc. All had been well thumbed, and Baker eaid he had studied them carefully, and had gained much valuable information from them, Detectives O’Connell and Dewar will re- ceive a reward of $500 for making the cap ture. INDORSED THE GOVERNOR. Flattering Resolution Adopted by Ec- lectic Physicians. The annual convention of the’ Missouri Eclectics, in session yesterday at Highland Inn, listened to President Hamlin’s ad- dress, in which it was suggested that an effort be made to have the General As- sembly change the composition of the State Board of Health to three allopathic, two homeopathic and two eclectic physicians. The larger portion of the morn!ng was occupied jn the consideration of a resolu- tion commending the Governor for his ac- tion in placing homeopaths in control of the Fulton Insane Asylum, The speeches were cuttingly sarcastic in their reference to the Allopathic School of Medicine. — Following is the communication wired to Gov. Stephene as the sense of the conven- tion: UNION STATION, ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 12.—His Extellency, Gov. Lon. V. Stephens: Whereas, it is oy evident that the chief executive of the State of Missouri has rossly insulted the righteous honor and ignity of the allopathy medical profession by the too liberal exercise of his official pre- rogative in arousing them from the slumber they have enjoyed since time immemorial, in wresting them from their positions at Fulton and placing the asylum in the hands of men whose medical and other at- tainments are abreast of advanced ecien- tific and liberal thought, and who are now living in this, the nineteenth century; be it therefore, “Resolved, By the 750 eclectic physicians in Missouri, represented by their State As- sociation, now tn annual session at Mera- mec Highlande, St. Louis, that we send you greeting and commend with inexorable hee your liberality in thus recognizing the ousand and more liberal physicians and tens of thousands of tax-paying patrons throughout the State, and we further pray that you may extend the good work until all reputable medical men, regardless of ism or pathy. shall have an equal represen- tation In the management of. public insti- tutons in Missouri.

WARM WEATHER MAKES THE SHIRT WAIST BLOOM. STRAW HATS AND DUCK SUITS. The Weather Man Says To-Day Will Be Nice and Warm, Like Yesterday. Cc Sing ho, the merry maiden and the waist. The shirt waist, that is. It should be out in all its glory to-day. Unless the man that makes the weather is all wrong, this should be a beautiful Sunday, a little warm, just warm enough, in fact, to brin people from their homes to seek coo breezes in the parks and at the summer resorts. The weather man says it will be fair all day and just a trifle warmer than yester- day—pleasant enough for pleasure-seeking purposes, though a little too warm to work. It should be an ideal day for social show on the boulevards. The young man who has a drag or has the price to hire one should not be at a loss for a summer girl to share it with him and there should be enough fair maidens left over for beaux who can afford nothing more luxurious than a street car seat built for one and a half ex trees should nod Every leaf on the approval at bevies of fair females in airy, not to say translucent, attire. The gorgeous panorama of light and color (no shade at this time of es seen on the streets yesterday should : ferred to the parks and resorts to-day. And Satur- day’s pageant was gorgeous enough, ¢ven‘ without background green leaves and sparkling fountains. +f... Come to think of it, though, there weré fountains in the pictuFe yesterday. They didn’t exactly wry but they sizzled. And the sizzle of a sod@ fountain on a hot day is physically, if not artistically, more sat- isfying than the sparkle of a Falernian fountain spouting common, ordinary cold water toward an Italian sky. The soda fountain had the call yester- day. It was its first inning, and it scored every time it went to the bat, and never a re The advent of the first really warm day of the season caused a brisk demand for cool drinks. ‘The summer girl wore her new shirt waist, and put her first ice cream soda of the season under it, and was happy. And she was out in numbers, too. She was on Broadway and on Olive street, an1 no two of her were alike. One stopped and wondered where all the very ordinary girls that were on the streets the day before had gone, But that’s one of the mysteries of the Eternal Feminine. There were other signs of the return of spring. The straw hat was out. Foolish- looking men with new “Katys” walked along the down-town streets trying by an intricate mental process to convice them- selves that they really wore headgear. The light straw was as nothing compared to the discarded derby, and more than one man tired of reasoning and put his hand to his head to see if the hat he bought early in the day was really there. An in- stance of the triumph of matter over mind. And then the duck suit! It was out, too. The callow youth walked down Broadway’ in it and “killed ‘em all.” At least he thought he “‘kiiled 'em.”” If he did no more he added a touch of softness to the pictures. Of course, this doesn’t apply to the nice old man with florid face and the requisite ro- tundity to fill out a white duck suit. Linen suits and serge suits and flannel suits and the necessary negiigee accompaniments were on parade as weil. It was a = day for the hatters and clothiers. The warm weather had held off so long that everybody seemed confident that now it had come, it was here to stay. e day opened warm with promise of a steady rise and the promise was fulfilled. At noon the thermome}ler registered 90 de. grees and the highest point, 92 degrees, was reached at 2 o'clock. The high tem- perature was maintained up to 6 o'clock, when there was a slight decline, Horses in various parts of the city were stricken, but the human population fared better. Not a case of heat prostration was reported. SOCIAL SETTLEMENT PICNIC. Mrs. Wiggin Entertains Her Charges at Her Country Home. Mrs. L. A.

BRANCH GUARDS BICYCLE CORPS WILL WHEEL TO THE STATE EN- CAMPMENT AT FULTON. WILL CARRY ACCOUTERMENTS. The Corps Has Been Highly Compli- mented in Capt. Hunt’s Report to the War Departmen:. 7 When the First Regiment, Missouri Na- tional Guards, goes into camp at Fulton, Mo., in July, the bicycle corps of Co. G, the Branch Guards, will wheel the 1% miles, and the men will carry their accoutrements and supplies on the wheels with them. The Branch Guards.Corps is one of the crack bicycle organizations of St. Louis, and it will more than hold its own .with similar clubs anywhere in the country. The Branch Guards and the men in it never do things by halves. In the old days when the company went into a competitive drill for money and glory, the first prize was pretty certain to be brought back to 8t. Louls. This example has always been fol- lowed by all the auxiMary organizations that sprang from the company. The Branch Guards base ball team has won the regimen- tal championship, the foot ball team has taken honors on many a bloody field, and the bicycle corps is something that not only all the members of the entire regiment, but the people of St. Louis as well, take great interest in be- cause the corps has shown that it is not for show and play, but can do the most effi- cient sort of work.when work !# needed, as was the case during the three days imme- diately conewsos the cyclone a year ago. The membership of the bicycle.corps is of about thirty men, and they have two sets of officers. Those for the civil, or social side, are C. H. Crucknell, President; J. B. Brock, Vice-President; H. L. Steinmeyer, Becrasary, and G. H. Sin- clair, Treasurer. The military_officers are: C. H. Sinclair, Captain; H. T: Wilson, First Lieutenant, and W. S. Robinson, Second Lieutenant. With the exception of Mr. Rob- fnson, who is the First Sergeant, these are the commeneng officers of the company. The members of the corps are as follows: Sergeants, J. W. GerNeart, W. A. Collins, H. A. Mendill; Corporals, E, 8. Morall, Rob- ert Perry, W. P. Carr, and Privates, R. C. Feth, Henry Krekel, C..T. Mulroy, Carl L. Smith, T. C. Wickéndon, Oscar Woeldieke, G. H. Dudley, J. E. Dunn, Henry Kerone, H. C. McLean, George L. Steber, E. B. Vas- quez, G. R. Whitt and J. G. Waldeck. There is no authoriged bicycle drill, be- cause the bicycle is not yet authorized by the United States Army and the army regu- lations, but the Branch Guards Corps have a drill which makes a splendid showing. In- stead of a ugie the commands are given by word of mouth, and the command forms into platoon front, wheels into columns and reaks into twos or fours and forms single column, The men are all enthusiastic. They drill several times a week, and the result is: they guide the bicycles, turn them about and go through all the-evolutions of a grace- ful drill as though but one pair of hands control all the handle-bars. All the men tn the corps ride the same make of wheels, the handle-bar adjustment-s of all of them are the same, and, mounted. the men have a uniform appearance, One is not riding straight up while his esbow- toucher is bent in a double knot, like a ecorcher. Originally, In 18%, the corps was or- anized for the promotion of pleasure and or the advancement of cycling interests especially in the military fleld. Nearly ali the foot movements of the soldiers are ac- complished on the wheels, and for the ex- cellent proficiency shown by the cyclers much of the credit is due W. S. Robinson, who has worked hard and early and Jate for the corps. : The annual.road race of the corps ts an event always looked forward to with great interest by all the boys in Col. Batdorf's First Reg ment. This year’s road race will be run Steinmeyer, who made the best time. the members of the corps are hardened and speedy Tiders, and among them are some cracks, The best of these are Morall, Mul- roy, agit e, gee am ener are good enough to need but sma andic the fastest of riders. oe seem That the Bicycle Corps of the Branch Guards is not solely for the promotion of pleasure is shown by thé annual reports made by the army officials who have in- spected the eae Capt.

Since it sprang into popular use, soldiers: have looked upon the bicycle with interest, and from time to time some. interesting tests and experiments were made.. Branch Guards of St. Louis have shown to what use the bicycle can be put, but in rough country the ordinary bicycle has found almost insurmountable difficulties. In the late war the Japanese found bicy- cles of good service against the Chinese, bicyclists frequently proving of service in making delicate maneuvers and in taking orders and messages in engagements. After experiments, however, it became ap- parent to military experts in Europe that the ordinary bicycle could not do all the work required of it. For example, it proved very unwieldly on heavy ground, and, as soldiers cannot confine themselves to paved streets and public promenades, ordinary bicycles are too often apt to prove incumbrances instead of conveniences, The desideratum was a wheel which could be easily transported from place to place, and yet which should be as firm and dura- ble as the ordinary bicycle. Such a bicycle, it is said, has been in- vented by Lieut. Czeipek of the Austrian army. The merits of his invention are said to be manifold. A wheel of this kind, says one who has thoroughly tested it, can eas- ily be carried for an hour on a man’s shoulders over any country, and, when necessary, it can be put together and made ready for riding in thirty seconds. The wheel, including the knapsack, weighs only fourteen kilograms, and yet it is as strong in all its parts as the ordinary bicycle, THE MEDICINE CHEST. ugust 8 The last was won b ait} Cyclists Recommended to Be Ready for Accidents. A well-known physician, who has done his century upon more than one occasioh, says that as it is the usual thing for wheelmen ‘who are going for a long ride to carry tools for the repair of a damaged wheel, why not also carry implements for repairing a brok- en-down rider? Remedies for ordinary cons tingencies can be carried in a small case or package tied to the machine in an out-of- the-way place. For sprains and brutses it would be well to carry a smail bottle of a m ‘xture con- Te of equal parts of alcohol and witch azel. Adhesive plaster, a few muslin bandages and a vial of collodion will be found service- able in treating cuts and abras’ons. For faintness it is a good plan to carry a supply of aromatic spirits of ammonia. This is a very valuable stimulant, and should be used in preference to brandy and other alcoholic preparations, as it does mot produce the intense thirst which usually follows the administration of the latter. Nitrate of silver {s about the only thing available as a caustic for use in case of dog bite. It can be obtained in the form of a pencil commonly known as “lunar caustic;” laster bandages and collodion will also be ound useful in these cases. A FAST YOUNG RIDER. Kreidler Considered One of the City’s Speediest Men. When Referee Allen called the protestants together last Wednesday to settle the dis- pute over the winner of the time prizes in the recent Forest Park road race, Conover’s frieds left the office with the declaration that they ‘‘wanted no more Forest Park road races in theirs."" In striking contrast was the behavior of E. A. Kreidler, who finished third and claimed second. He politely thanked Mr. Alien for the trouble he had been put to, and said he would not have made a contest except that he believed Stockhoff’s alleged time was right. While the inquiry was in progress Mr. | E. A. KRIEDLER. Allen received a letter from th ra e hea prominent firm in which the writer Rn ad knowh Kreidier for ¢j ht years, arid knew him incapable of mak ng a claim he did not belleve to be right and just.

L. A. W. OFFERS A PRIZE FOR RE- CRUITERS. CONSUL HOLM ISSUES A PLEA. Out of 10,000 Cyclists That Have Paid the City Tax Only Onc-Fifth Are in the Organization. Chief Corisul Holm of the L. A. W, Is out with another address to St. Louis cyclists, urging them to enroll in the great wheel- men’s organization. He says: Out of the 10,000 wheelmen who have to date paid the bicycle tax, barely one-fifth belong to the Missouri Division, L. A. W., and as, in spite of this voluntary taxation, their privileges are threatened with cur- tailment, it is is wéll to state that the rem- edy is to organize the forces of the wheel- men under the banner of the L. A. W, Politicians fear twenty organized men more than they do 500 who are not oOrgan- ized, and were the 8,000 wheelmen who are not now members in this city enrolled un- der the L. A. W. banner, it would make them invincible. But for the efforts of the L. A. W., the right to use the streets and park roadways would be denied to this day. It has done more for the advancement of the sport than all the other agencies com- bined, and it therefore follows that every wheelman is only guarding his own inter- ests by joining it. Every member receives & membership card, whichis as good as a letter of intro- L. A, W. BADGE OF HONOR. duction to wheelmen everywhere, and upon its production, entitles him to all the priv- leges at league hotels, repair shops and the right to participate in L. A. W. meets and tours. A handsome cloth-bound road book and new sectional maps of the State (obtainable nowhere else) are given to every member. This “book acurate describes over 7,000 miles of roads in Missouri and Illinols. It gives the ,distances between towns, tells of the condition, material and grade of every road, names @ hotel in nearly every town at which special rates will be given to L. A. W. members, and givés much other in- formation. In addition to this every mem- ber receives a bound map of the St. Louis riding d'strict with the dirt and rock roads marked so as to be easily distinguishable and street map of the city proper showing the favorite routes of wheelmen. The L. A. W. Bulletin 4s the weekly organ of the League. It {is a bright illustrated paper, full of interesting matter, and con- tains all official announcements. It is sent free to every momber by mail. Legal protection is guaranteed to every member of the L. A. W. In Missouri of his or her rights as a cyclist. The division has prosecuted a great number of cases where the rights of its members have been in- fringed on and has never failed to secure adequate redress, One of the principal objects of the League is to secure improvements of the public highways and streets. It has spent over $100,000 on this caus? alone, e L. . W. was never in better condi- tion financially &nd numerically; never be- fore so hard at work in the interest of eyeing and good roads, and never before has the membership been of more value. Two cents a week will support the work of the L. A. W. This is the amount of the in- itiation fees and dues. The former is paid only once, and after the first year it costs only $1 per annum. Every white amateur cycler 18 years of age or over is invited to | become a member. IAterature, telling all about the organization, will be mailed free on request to Secretary . W. Nisbet, 421 Olive street, and this morning the L. A. W. officers will be at the entrance of Forest Park to receive applications for membership. The medal fllustrated here is the richest and most beautiful decoration ever awarded to L. A. W. members’ by the Missouri Di- vision to stimulate the work of recruiting: These souvenirs are given with engraved certificates to the members of the Missouri! Division who attest their loyalty to the organization by helping to increase its membership. The medals are from an ar- | track, and for two weeks pa tistic design, with gold-plated base, richly colored and enamel facing of scarlet, white and green, and the whole suspended from a heavy ribbon of watered silk. The honor medal will not be sold at any price. The following. conditions will govern the awarding of the medals: 1. Members wishing to earn a certificate or a medal should first send their name and address to Secretary-Treasurer Nisbet, 421 Olive street, with request for application blanks and pamphlets. 2. When a member has sent in two or more applications for membership they will receive the honor certificate beautifully en- Srossed with his or her name. When a member has sent in ten applications he or she will receive the honor medal. 3. Members who fail to secure ten new members by Jan. 1 will be given until July 1, 1898, unless they choose to take the in- termediate prizes consisting of a division coat or cap pin, or a leather pocketbook, suitable for holding the membership card and cash. 4. A quantity of the leather pocketbooks ar2 now on hand and one will be given for every new member secured by a member who does not care to compete for the honor badge, as long as the supply lasts. 5. Full paid dues and initiation ($2) must accompany every application sent in, in competing for these prizes. THEIR PLEASANT OUTINGS. This Party of Four Make Weekly Trips on Tandems. C. C. Hildebrand has a fondness for cy- cling and a capacity to enjoy himself on a run that is unlimited. What Is to most cyclers a tough trip, or even considered a hazardovs undertaking, is real enjoyment to this veteran road rider, as was evi- denced by a recent successful run to De Soto, in which Mr. and Mrs. George Hellmich and ‘Hilde’ and Mrs. ‘‘Hilde,” rode tandems. They are the. first ladies that ever rode to De Soto on, tandems, or on wheels of any kind. This was con- sidered a reckless undertaking; but all participants had an elegant time, For some Sunday in June he is getting up another party of cyclers, who have never been to De Soto, and on which occa- sion he will ride his ordinary, and expects to have a nice trip of it, too, taking all day to ride down and be the last man over the famous road on a “high roller.’’ The ordin- ary is a 60-inch brand new Victor, 1892, with all the latest improvements, such as 1%-inch cushion tires, 29-inch*cow horns, adjustable spade grips, and everything the very latest. It weighs only 45 pounds and has adjustable cranks from 5% to 6 inches. Mr. Hildebrand is doing a good work for the pleasure riders in making his weekly outings. He acts as a sort of advance agent for other riders and explores the roads and recommends them to his friends, He. rides a tandem with Mrs. Hildebrand, and, with another couple, they leave the city every Saturday evening, just about dusk, and ride for some place away off in the country, where they spend Sunday ina little side excursion. Upon their return Mr. Hildebrand @escribes the route and the roads to those of his friends who are fond of leisurely jaunts through the country without hard hills to climb, and the result is that the next Sunday several parties of ladies and gentlemen are organized to take the same trip he and his little party previously took on their tandems. Mr, Hildebrand is no racing man and {jis not overfond of work, but he is a piucky hill climber, and when the otners dismount and walk up the hill he sticks to the task and generally succeeds in pedaling the heavy tandem uP it. At 6 o’clock Saturday afternoon Mr. Hil- \debrand, with his wife on one wheel, and Mr. and Mrs. George Hellimich on another tandem, left the city for Seckman Post-of- fice, about twenty-one miles from St. Louls. They will spend to-day there, and in the afternoon take their time in riding back to the city. There is a good little country inn at Seckman, famous for fried yellow-legged chickens and buttermilk. Each of the r‘d- ers in the party is ah enthusiastic amateur hotographer, and they are sure to bring back many snapshots of scenés on their route. The road to Seckman is in good condition, but in the Ozark hills the route is often steep enough to give an untrained rider palpitation of the heart. WHERE THE CYCLERS WENT. Flocked to De Hodiamont to See the ; Cracks Train. Of all the places about the city the track at De Hodiamont, was most frequented by the local cyclers during the latter part of the week.

HOW A DUST CLOUD AIDED AN ARGUMENT FOR THE TAZ, DEVICE OF A CRIPPLED RIDER. Training Diet of F. W. Bulkley Brings on a Riot in the Southern Hotel Kitchen. Two passengers in a Suburban car on Wash street the other morning fell to dis- cussing the new city ordinance which com- pels a wheelman to pay §1 a year tax upon his machine. One was a regular rider whose .wheel was in the repair shop and the other relies upon the street cars solely for his means of trans- portation. The bicycle man was against the tax and the street car man was most ar- dently in favor of it. “Bicycles certainly come under the head of vehicles, don’t they?’ said the street car man. “Then, by all means, their owners should pay a license for them as well ew the owners of one and two-horse wagons and carriages.”’ ' “How about your street cars?’ returnéd the bicycle man. “Do the companies pay a license?’ : “Oh, you are talking politics now. I don’t know about the St. Louis street railroad concerns, but if they are anything like those in other places the city doesn’t get much re- turn. But the point I want to make is’’— Just then a small typhoon struck the car. When the sand storm had passed over, the conductor and those passengers who had been standing on the rear platform ap- peared to be gray-headed men. Dust cov- ered their hair, making it almost white, and their clothes fairly sagged under the added burden of sand. he passengers rubbed their eyes and swabbed out their ears and breathed heavily for a block or two. Then the bicycle man and the street car man looked at each other. “That sand blizzard helped me out very nicely,’’ said the gtreet car man. “I was just going to speak of the city’s concessions to the wheelman when it choked me off, You must admit such clouds of dust are disagreeable. Well, who is to blame? You wheelmen. If a sprinkling cart gets out and the driver tries to do his duty, you wheelmen flock to the City Hall and kick to the Mayor. It’s all well enough for the riders clad in sweaters and tweeds to ride through the dust, but its tough on us fel- lows in linen collars, busmess suits of some smooth goods and freshly polished shoes. ‘Now, I argue if the city inconveniences a greater part of its SS. for a com- paratively small lot of wheelmen the wheel- men should make some return. You have nearly everything your way, anyhow.” The bicycle man had a convincing answer on the tip of his tongue, when the. car reached Sixth street and the debate broke up. A New Yorker who is visiting In St. Louis stood at the entrance of Forest Park ohe Sunday afternoon not long ago and gs t fifteen minutes noting the long ‘line ‘of whee coming from and going into the park. : ’ ' “TI have noticed one thing especially abour the riders of St. Louis,” he a ; served, ‘“‘They know how to sit in their sad. dies better than :the riders of any other city I've ever been in, and I have watched ‘em in New York, Washington, Chicago, Louisville, Cleveland and Baltimore. I re- fer particularly to the ladies. Their style of riding here is much like that the ladies have in Philadelphia, although the Balti- more position is not wholly bad. “The Chicago attitude is_ horrid. It seems that every girl in the city of big feet wants her saddle as high in the air as she can get it. Then the fair rider lowers her handle bars to the bottom notch. You can fancy the picture. In New York and the other Eastern cities the bicycle girl has an idea she must burn the wind, and it is im- possible for any woman to present a good appearance if she is humped up after the manner of all scorchers, “St. Louls and Philadelphia seem to be the only places where the wheelwoman has any kind of an idea as to what is becoming both as to her dress and appearance after she is mounted. Here the saddles are rea- sonably low, the handle bars placed at such a hel ht that the rider does not have to lean forward any more than she would if she were sitting at a plano and everybody goes at a pace that gets all there is out of the sport, that is neither too fast nor too slow. “The wheel costumes of St. Louls women are prettier and in better taste than those of women in other cities. I have been here three weeks, and not once have I observed skirts. Their dresses are of a convenient i\'dength and nothing more, Their lege:ngs and high boots are neat and just enough shows to give the wearer a jaunty alr. I don’t know whether bicycle styles are set and their adoption made compulsory, or her own heart, but I do now that the Mound City styles for ladies could be fol- lowed to advantage by other places. One-legged riders are now too plentiful to cause extra comment, but a cripple whose two feet are almost useless on the ground, but serve him better on a wheel than do those of the majority of sound rsons, is a novelty. This particular oripp e lives on Locust street, not far from Ewing avenue. He went sailing up the Locust street hill, between Jefferson and Lefiingwell avenues, the other day, leaving behind him scores of panting riders en route home from the ony s business down town. When he reached his home he vaulted out of the saddle and his efforts to guide the wheel on the pavement and into his front gate amounted to &@ Graeco-Roman wrestiing match. The fellow could scarcely stand upright, much less walk without toppling over. Une 4eg was not only longer than It should have , Steel rod that supports my ankle? t’ last ‘ab-" been, but the short one was bent inwar the ankle was weak and the little stub o a foot was turned “pigcon-toed.” weak ankle was supported by two bright steel rods, one on each side, joined by a strip of iron under che foot. As the cripple managed to lift the wheel }over the stone step leading through his ate a passer-by, who happened to be a ost-Dispatch man, volunteered to give him a lift. The offer was accepted, and then the wheelman remarked the only trouble he had in getting around, was when he was off his machine. ‘I can distance most riders,’’ he gaid, “for my infirmity is turhed to my rather than made a drawback. notice ye bree peculiar about it, do you? But you would if you had to wear one. Now, see here. Before I began riding, the rods on both sides wcre made to end even with the strip of steel under my foot—like a stirrup. After I began riding I had the “stirrup” made so the sides extended be- low the foot-rest, and then I had another connecting piece put on. In other words, it is a double stirrup. Then I notched the pedal so the bottom stirrup fits into it and the rest is easy. The steel rods are strapped to my knee which is perfectly strong, so lI am really riding with muscles of steel in am og: leg. No wonder it doesn’t tire out easily.’’ When F. W. Buckley, St. Louis’ heavy- weight player, comes down town to business each morning his coat pockets bulge out as if he had loaded them with bricks. He has even been known to bump up against and clip the ends of the street car seats with his mysterious load. The weight he carries is bread. Not fresh bread, but did rolls and ends of loaves that.he has had qegquaies at home for weeks. It’s this wr Buckley is training and running his shirt factory at the same time. Of course, he can’t go home to his luncheon and the stale bread which his trainer, Billy Hyland, has ordered him to eat can’t be obtained at any restaurant or hotel in St. Louis. Therefore, Mr. Buckley has to pro- vide his own bread. He buys it every day, a long, well-cooked loaf made of Graham flour. He cuts it up into chunks the size of a sixteen-candle power incandescent globe and puts them on the pantry shelf to grow old and hard. The Buckley pantry, therefore, looks like it contained a pile of cobblestones. Two of these petrified knots of flour Mr. Buckley brings down town each day and eats them in the restaurant where he is in the habit of getting his midday slice of rare roast beef and plece of fish. The waiters in this restaurant are used to Buckley and his old bread now, but the custom brought about a riot in the South- ern Hotel kitchen last week and nearly lost a head waiter, one of the subordinates and a hired girl their situations. A-New York salesman for a linen firm was stopping at the Southern. He had sold Buckley a big bill of goods and to show he was a nice fellow he asked Buckley to dine with him and his wife at the Southern, Buckley ac- cepted. As the fast-flying cyclist was dressing that evening Trainer Hyland approached him and said sternly: “There you go again; off to some place where you'll stuff your- self with rich food and knock yourself out of all the good work I’ve done this week.”’ Buckley promised to eat discreetly if Hy- land would but let him go and added that he’d take along his own bread. He did so and when at the table he waited for a chance to sneak his own tough, disreputable look- ing rolls on the table. it came and Buck- y, steathily placed them on a plate. he waiter spot them and _ felt heartily ashamed that he should be given such stuff to serve to gentiemen in a first- class hotel. He watted? wntil the diners were not looking, and swiping the Bulkley rolis, scurried back to the pant and fired them at the hired girl he believed had given them to him. -One roll missed her. a broke into a pile of glasses and’ dented the kitchen wall. The other caught her in the jaw and all but floored her. The girl set u a yell and the head waiter took a han He didn’t know whether to reprimand pr praise the waiter who was sticking up for the reputation of the house, or to sym- girl or to tell her it served her right. The row in the kitchen was ended when an assistant manager eppeeree and said he would pass on the case the next day. When the head waiter returned to the dining- ‘reom he was sumenoned to the Buckley table, where a complaint was made about the missing rolls. r. Buckley's confession as to the smuggied bread righted matters so far as the zealous walter was concerned in the kitchen row, and at the earnest re- quest of the head waiter an explanation was made to the hotel management. But the rolls were not recovered. They couldn’t be found, and Mr. Buckley was forced to eat fresh bread. ZIMMY WILL RACE.

PURSUIT RACE A_ FEATURE. Successful Contestants Will Be Be- warded With Blocks of Solid Gold. * The initial race meet under the auspices of the St. Louls Cycle Racing Association will be held Monday, July 6, at the Pastime track. It is the intention of the promoters to cater to the amateur talent of St. Louis at their first meet. There will be no profes- sional races on the programme. As the association announced shortly after its organization it is the intention to provide the public with bicycle racing of the highest quent, It is a well-known fact that the local amateurs are the best in the country. Their events at the Pastime track yesterday equaled in interest and excite- ment those in the professional clasa. One of the surprises arranged for those who attend the meet July 5 is a “pursuit’’ race between Felix Gast, who many would have won first time prise in and Sake Wellner, tue seeseneael an ake eldner, the re unpaced riders in St. Louis. The prise be a $35 gold brick. In a “pursuit” race the men start from opposite sides of track and ride until one catches the other.

GOLDEN JUBILEE OF THE FAMOUS LORETTO ACADEMY. Fiftieth Anniversary Known Institutions in the Be Celebrated of One of the Best West to at Florissant. Nestling in 40 acres of shade trees, shrubs and flowers in the quaint old village of Florissant stands an institution dear to the hearts of many women of the West. It is the famed old Loretto Academy, which, on the 2ist of June, will begin a three-days’ celebration of the fiftieth year of its existence. Great preparations are being made for this golden jubilee, and the Loretto Sisters are fired with new zeal as they busy themselves superintending a corps of painters and cleaners, placing the old mansion in condition for the festa) event. The Loretto Academy is one of the oldest educational institutions in the West. It was established June 21, 1847, at the re- quest of the Rev. Van Assche, then pastor of the church at St. Ferdinand (Florissant), addressed to the Rev. D. A. Depaicq, Eccle- siastical Superior of the Lorettine Society of Sisters, who were organized in Kentucky foc educational work in the West. The Lorettines were a noble band of self- sacrificing women, then, as they are to- day. Their work in establishing schools tiful little chapel, with its solid oak pews and white chancel, and the entertainment hall, which is a commodious apartment ar- ranged to_#eat between 500 and 700 people. This apartment has gout been beautifully frescoed in oil, by a St. Louis house, from designs by the art instructress of the acad- emy—herself a sister—who is one of the most distinguished woman artists in the country. Mother agg to ad Was succeeded as su- pervisor by Mother De Frosa Smith, who after five years’ service was succeeded by Mother Placidus, who retired to become Mother General of the Loretto Order. She was succeeded by Mother Roberta Jar- beau, the present head of the academy, who assumed the duties in 1894, and has proved a most worthy lady in her most responsible position. She is now assisted by a faculty of sixteen sisters, most of whom are instructors in the higher branches. There are about one hundred pupils in constant attendance at Loretto, ranging all ages from tots to girls of grad- uating age. his year there is a graduat- ing class of nine, all young women, whose education may be said to be finished, for the course of study at Loretto embraces everything usually taught in ~ 9 ne eeminaries. Much attention is pa art, ‘music, needlework and china eget Some splendid qpéecimens of the latter are ane good doctor as the cause of his patient's em.se. ‘Kicked by a mule’ |\was another cause, and one man died from “Decline.” In the Ss the Health Department rec- ognized three grand divisions of humanity.

Gouldsboro Baptists and Methodists at Daggers’ Points. Special to the Post-Dispatch. GOULDSBORO, Me., June 12.—A bitter fa¢tional fight in the Union Church, com- posed of Baptists and Methodists, has had as its sequel the theft of the pulpit and the bell. Both disappeared in the night. The Methodists lay it to the Baptists and the Baptists accuse the Methodists. The war has been carried into the social and bust- ness life of the place and all sorts of dif- ficulties and estrangements have resulted. It was reported that there was a plot to burn the church. This caused much uneasi- ness on both sides, as the building is the only church in the village. OUR GENERAL HEALTH. Fewer Are Going to Lie Under the Green Turf. Notwithstanding the sudden changes of temperature the mortality continues to de- crease. The deaths last week were 158 as against 168 the week before and 240 the cor- responding week last year. Eighteen died from consumption, 13 from pneumonia and 14 from Bright's disease and nephritis. Forty were under one year of age, 49 un- der five years, 25 were and over; 38 died DEGENEIN'S 0ST BOOKS THE MAYOR SAYS THEY “ARE IN BOXES SOMEWHERE.” WENNEKER DOES NOT KNOW. } Present Grand-Jury May Make an Ef- fort to Solve the Mysterious Disappearance, The whereabouts of ex-City Collector Ziegenhein’s books and papers are appar- ently as great a mystery as the disappear- ing $4,102 check. He says he turned them over to License Commissioner Kalbfell, under the provis- ions of the new law establishing the license office. Mr. Kalbfell says he did not re- ceive any books from Mr. Ziegenhein save those which pertain to,assessments, as he has nothing to do with collections. Mr. Ziegenhein next remembers ‘that his successor in the office of City Collector, Charles F. Wenneker, has'the books. But Mr. Wenneker denies all knowledge of them. sf 4s ’ bj iY 4.-3o0 + NiEY GRADUATING CLASS OF LORETTO ACADEMY FOR 1897. a and missions on the then Western front'ers particularly along the Missouri River and m Kansas, made them a most potent civil- izing and eager ae 2 force.

Six sisters were, in 1847, invited by the Rev.-Depaicq, then of the St. Louis Unl- versity, to come to St. Louis and establish an academy in St. Ferdinand Parish. Moth- er Eleanor Clarke, who was an aunt of the famous Rev. Walter J. Hill, one of the most dist'nguished prieste in the West, was . the Superior, and assisting her were 8!:- ters Philomena, Theodosia, Vicentia, Am- brosia and Stanisiau. They rented a small building. in the quaint French village of Florissant and opened their school. Tt was slow work at first. They had a few day pupils who paid trifilng sums for tuition, and less than half a dozen board- ers. The sisters were quite discouraged at the end of the year, and Mother Clarke came near abandon'ng the enterprise and returning to Kentucky. But wiser counsels prevailed and in a + on exhibition at the Academy as having taken valuable premiums at the World’s Fair in Chicago.

Mother Hayden was a remarkable woman and came from a re- markable family. There were three gisters and one brother in the Hayden family. The three sisters were all “‘mothers” in the Church, and the brother was a noted priest, No more widely known clergyman than Fr, Hayden lived in the West. Mother Bridget Hayden founded the celebrated Osage Mis- sion, in Kansas, and Mother Magdalen Hay- den founded the mission at Santa Fe. All of these are now centers of education of the highest character. Under Mother Elizabeth Hayden the Loretto Academy at once be- came self-supporting and prosperous. She, like all the Hayden “mothers,”” was a wom- an of great executive and business ability, and she brought all her resourceful energies .to poe eee the importance of the school, t the scope of its influence and the value of its property. Other Mother Superiors succeeded her, but it was under Mother Ann Joseph Mattingley, who began her administration nearly twen- ty years ago, that the present fine structure was erected, the area of the grounds in- creased and the general prosperity of the institution greatly augmented.

Francis has had clerks at work going over the re&istry of deaths back to 1850 to prepare annual report Starkloff. The rules of the department are strict with regard to causes of death. A list of recognized disorders is printed on the backs of the certificates, and unless the disease is to be found in the list, the certificate is not accepted. It was not always sq. The clerks found some pecul'ar causes given, There was one entry which showed there was one honest doctor who practiced away back In 1852.

Withrow of the Crimi- nal Court was asked by a Post-Dispatch reporter whether the Grand-jury has power to investigate the affairs of city officers. “Yes,” said the Judge, “it has. Article 14, section 11 of the State Constitution, ex- pressly provides that it shall be the duty of the Grand-jury, once a year, to investi- gate the official acts of all officers having charge of ei’ funds and to report the result to the Court. That,’’ added the * ‘has never been done, so far as I a ry belonging to his department?’ was asked. “If there is a law roquiing him to do so, You see, the language of the constitution ig very broad. It covers ‘all official acts.’ ”’ The City Register’s office was applied to for information. ‘‘Oh, yes,’’ said the Chief Clerk, “there is a law—and I think it is an ordinance—requiring books and papers of city officers to be delivered to their successors.”’ But ‘he couldn't find such an ordinance, and after an hour’s careful search he gave it up. What he did find was an ordinance requiring all “property” to be transmitted to successors in office. The City Marshall was absent, being en- gaged in attendance on the Supreme Court. In the City Comptroller’s office a search was made for the law, but it could not be discovered. The prevailing sentiment at the City Hall was that an ordinance should be passed covering the requirement which everybody can understand is a natural one. There is a story current to the effect that when Judge Zachritz was newly assigned to the criminal bench it was suggested to him that he should charge the Grand-Jury with that provision of the constitution con- cerning the annual investigation of city officers having funds in their charge, but like his predecessors, he failed to meet the emergency. In a general way he told the Grand-jury that “other sectia@ns of the law would be called to their attention by the Circuit Attorney.” The Circuit Attorney, however, is only a ministerial officer, while the requirement referred to is mandatory, and should be given to the Grand-jury by the Judge himself. When Henry Ziegenhein was promoted from the office of City Collector to the Mayoralty of this great city, it was pre- sumed taxpayers, or at teast the Grand- —- would have the right to look into his ooks for the purpose of obtaining infor- mation of any and all kinds. It seems this is partielly fallacious, as the books cannot be found. Mr. Wenneker said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter: “Soon after I was elected Mr. Ziegenhein told me I would have no use for his books, and so he would have a new set made for me. This he did, and I began my duties with the fresh books. But he certified to me all the unpaid tax bills, as required by law. That's all I know anything about.” Mr. Kalbfeill, the License Commissioner, who occuples an office recently established, said Mayor Ziegenhein was mistaken when he declared that all the Collector’s books had been turned over to the license office. He even cited the law governing the divis- ion of the Collector's office, which says: “Tt shall be the duty of the License Com- missioner, immediately after taking charge of his office, to obtain from the Collector— and it is hereby made the duty of the Col- lector to transfer to said License Commis- sioner—all books, papers, data and blanks relating to the assessing, levying, issuing, transferring and revoking of licenses and license taxes.”’ “That shows you,” sald the Commission- er, “that I am not the custodian of the collection books. I suppose they are in the Collector’s office.” Mr. Ziegenhein was visited again by a Post-Dispatch reporter and asked what had really become of his official records and pagers. “Well,” said the Mayor, “I think those books are somewhere in boxes. Try Wen- neker and may be he will know.” That was ali, But the Collector's knowl- edge proved to be even more limited and uncertain than that of the Mayor. It was manifest by Wenneker’s declarations that he was unaware of the contents of several large boxes now in his office, sealed with Yale locks and seemingly under nobody's care or control. May be they hold the books, records and papers so sadly and frequently sought for. ay be they do not. At least the Collector has not identified them as such, and Mr. Ziegenhein has forgotten what he really did with such books a8 he did not turn over to the License Commissioner. The Grand-jury will be expected to ascer- tain with aome degree of definiteness where the ex-Collector’s books have gone, It is their duty to investigate the official acts of the officers havin — funds in charge, and along with thetr investigation of this matter they may find it convenient to make ahe examination thorough and complete. tienen Humboldt School Picnic. picnic of the Humboldt the annusl TS to-morrow at Concordia al School will be : Park.

Mentz, who makes most of the ropes used in hangings in the United States, is a much-sought individual by Sheriff Troll. The Sheriff has been instructed to hang Andrew Worton and George Thompson July 8 He told his chief deputy, Capt. Heubler, to find Mentz and have three ropes made for the execution, one extra in case one. breaks. Capt. Heubler sent Deputy Sheriff Ham- mond out to the residence and ro works of Mentz at Natural. Bridge road, Saturday. Hammond was told that Mentz was out of the city and it was not known when he would return, although he might be back within a week. No one knew where to find him. For twenty-five years Ments has de- voted his time to making ropes for execu- tions. He charges $30 for each. rope and makes two or three a month. That is all he does. He is one of a very few men who know how to make a rope with which to hang a man, and through his ability has made himself known nearly everywhere a man is likely to be hanged. Capt. Heubler says that if he does not hear from Mentz in a week he will have to rely upon some one else for the ropes. “NEVER TOUCHED HIM.” Papa Ziegenhein’s Boy Adam Says No Nigger Ever Hit Him. ~ Son Adam, who has the good looks of the | Ziegenhein family, flew into a towering rage yesterday afternoon. The usual va- cuous serenity of his countenance was marred by deep corrugations of wrath. He was sitting in the outer corral of the Mayoralty preserves telling Sergeant Mc- Grew how it felt to be a prince of the reigning family, when an insurance agent dropped in. “Hello, Adam,” ga‘d the insurance man, “Hello, Bob,’’ said Adam. “I’m sorry to have to tell you,” said “Bodb,"’ dejectedly, ‘““*but the company says you'll have to pay a bigger prem‘um or your policy will be cancelled.” ‘Was ist los?’’ “They say that since you have gone to seages with niggers you are a worse ris — Adam jumped up in the air, knocked his wooden. shoes together and let out a wild whoop. “It’s all a blankety, blank Mle,” he screamed. “I didn’t have no fight with a nigger. He didn’t hit me. If he had I would have killed him on the spot. on several spots. Wow! I’m a I can lick all the niggers that pa ever ap- pointed.”’ The Sergeant turned the hose on him and ‘“‘Bob’”’ ducked. The premium will not be raised. CHARITIES AND CORRECTION. Gov.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan., June 12.—A dispatch from Atchison says that it de- veloped there to-day that on Wednesday last, Joseph W. Oliver, now under arrest for blowing up Gov.

HE POST-DISPATCH is now admitted to have the largest circulation of any St. Louis newspaper.

TO OUR READERS—The Sunday Post- Dispatch to-day consists of THIRTY-FOUR PAGES, in four parts. Our readers should gee that they get the entire paper. SILVER AND PRICES. Attention is called to the article on an- Oiher page by Mr. Moreton Frewen, the distinguished English bimetallist, on the “Relation Between Silver and Prices,” Bhowing the economic drain from debtor nations caused by the single gold stand- ard. One of the most startling statements contained in the paper touches the ag- ricultural population. Taking the cen- sus report of 1890, Mr. Frewen undertakes to show. that the per capita income of the American farmer is lower than that of the farmer of New Zealand, and even of Ireland. Furthermore, he shows that the per capita agricultural income in the United States is actually lower than the cost of supporting paupers. The paper derives additional value from the fact that it was not written from the standpoint of American partisanship. On the contrary, American conditions are re- ferred to only incidentally, and thé com- parative statistics as to the profits of agriculture are given to show the folly of Irish emigration to the United States in'the hope of betterment. The paper was read before the Society of Arts in London, and is a most valuable contribution to current financial litera- ture, a THE SPECTRE OF A “HOLY WAR.” The announcement that England has delivered an ultimatum to the Sul- tan regarding Thessaly comes with the announcement of a fanatical butchery the Moslem part of India. It is impossible to doubt that, if there are any _ indications of an Indian revolt, they have been brought about by Russian intrigue. Hav- ing discovered the skeleton in the English closet; the Czar’s diplomats will lose no opportunity to bring it forth from its con- cealment, Every aggressive movement by England in Turkey will be met by a mountain brawl in India, magnified to the proportions of a beginning of a “Holy War.” It is a situation from which the old England would never shrink. But what will the new England, ruled by Lombard Street, do? The world is nearly ready for a new crusade, Four or five centuries have not served to diminish the Christian hatred of the Saracen. A “Holy War” would not find England as isolated as she is in her brutal selfishness, This she fails to un- derstand, for sodden selfishness is in- capable of understanding generous en- thusiasm. But it is understood at St. Petersburg, A “Holy War” is an imaginary terror stalked by Russia to fright the grubs of Lombard Street. —, ELECTION FRAUD CASES. The “practical politician’ and that large class of voters who look upon elec- tion frauds as belonging in the same category with smuggling and, therefore, excusable, will be alarmed at the ruling of Provisional Judge Fisse binding over to the Grand Jury the five election judges charged with fraud in the Fourteenth Ward, Theruling isa sign that the days of unhindered frauds and violence at elections in St. Louls are past. The peo- ple are waking up to the fact that elec- tions must be honestly conducted, or the country will go dowd in- political ruin. It would be astonishing, indeed, if af- ter all that was said and written towards the close of last year’s campaign about the absolute mecessity for honest elec- tions, these men. had got off scot-free with the palpable evidence of fraud which they themselves furnished to the Election Commissioners. It is time to put a stop to the corruption* of the ballot, or we might as well deliver the governmental machinery into the hands of the Money Power and the baser elements of the Great cities that are its willing slaves. Judge Murphy and his pals will take netice that the evidence upon which these men were bound over Was not gtyen by *the President of the Board of Election Commissioners. The evidence he gave was ofa minorcharacter. The men were Meld for the Grand Jury upon the evidence oe sete. ext plead are not directly in the em- bh F .¥e - ploy of the Election Board. Therefore Judge Murphy’s allusion to ‘“‘the Joneses” was a gratuitous insult. The spirit that is awaking among the peopk, and demanding better government and the punishment of corruptionists, will not down. If the corruptionists want to recover their control of the election machinery, they will have to hypnotize all the good men and women whose hearts and consciences are now aroused and who have determined that the time has come for action. a. —- i = —— THE COMING REVOLUTION. It is very seldom indeed that the com- ments of English newspapers upon polit- ical affairs of the United States are in- forming or even intelligent, and of all the journalistic blunderers, the Saturday Review has been in the past the most per- sistent and consistent, becausé the most bigoted and prejudiced. Yet a recent is- sue of the Saturday Review contains an article on Mr. Bryan's book, “The First Battle,” which is suggestive, because it is the opinion of a well informed and dis- interested observer. The title of the Saturday Review’s ar- ticle is “The Coming American Revolu- tion.” Speaking of the last Presidential campaign, which Mr. Bryan commemo- rates in his book, it says: It was an event of profound historical significance from every point of view— political, social, ethical, international. There is no exaggeration in putting it among the great epoch-making ocurrences, like the gathering of the States-General in May of 1789. Here in Europe we still see not much beneath its quaint and naive surface, which was undoubtedly both exciting and enter- taining. But in America everything has been changed by it. Opinions and aspira- tions which lurked half formless in un- named depths of the public consciousness a twelvemonth ago, are now on top, familiar to all eyes and ears. After a personal sketch of Mr. Bryan, which was evidently written by some one who has seen and observed him keenly, and who does not derive his fmpressions from the portraits in the book, the Sat- urday Review says: “Very likely Mr. Bryan would have made what even his enemies would call a good President— commonplace, perhaps, but reasonably conservative, and above all things scru- pulously attentive to appearances.” It then adds—and this is the most signifi- cant utterance in the article: Mr. McKinley was elected instead, and a brief two months of his Administration has earried the Revolution forward as swiftly as the spring sunshine and showers are bringing forth the leaves and buds. * * * Where there were four Bryan men last sum- mer, there are already five this spring, and there is discernible nowhere any reason for supposing that their increase will be checked on this side of the crucial year of 1900. This shows that the growth of “Bryan- ism’’—the increasing hold which the principles embodied in the Chicago plat- form are obtaining upon the American people—is gmpressing itself upon foreign observers as well as upon those who have the advantage (or is it a disadvantage”) of a closer point of view. , ——, we ENGLISH FELLOW-SERVANT LAW. The two great parties in England bid against each other for the workingman’s vote by enacting laws for his benefit, and as paid corporation lobbyists are not on hand to prevent such legislation, a fellow-servant. bill, or “‘employers’ lia- bility act,” has been in existence for years, The present act, however, which dates from 1880, is unsatisfactory, because em- ployers could contract themselves out of its provisions, and it allowed too ‘wide a scope to the doctrine of contributory negligence. ’ Under the title of the ‘“‘Compensation- for-Accident bill,” the Salisbury Admin- istration has now before Parliament a measure which is well on its way to pas- sage, that will, it is thought, afford work- ingmen in all the dangerous occupations full compensation for injury from acci- dents that may happen to them when en- gaged in their work. This proposed law in its present shape was suggested to Parliament by Mr. Chamberlain in 1894. It will apply to workers on railways, in mines and quar- ries, in factories of all kinds, on build- ings in course of construction, and at docks, wharves and warehouses at the seaports. There are in round numbers six million such workers in the United Kingdom. The compensation for death by accident is $750 or a sum equal to three years’ wages, whichever may be the larger amount, the. maximum, however, being $1,500. For disability the person injured gets half his usual wages. There is no way of evading this Jaw by contracts with employes, unless through making insurance arrangements which will be equally satisfactory to the work- people and to the State Department charged with seeing to the working of the law: The bill is expected to pass without trouble, as there has been no serious opposition to it except on the part of the coal mine owners. a en DOING WITHOUT MONEY. As a sign of the times, the Labor Ex- change is worthy of notice. The Labor Exchange is a’ protest against currency contraction and the gold standard. When money gets 80 scarce that the exchange of commodities is practically at a standstill, people will begin to look around them and see if they cannot exchange commodities and labor without the intervention of money. They will try to solve the money question by doing without money. The Labor Exchange, which is a sys- tem of stores that buys and sells without money, exchanging products for products, is rapidly spreading over the country. It is strongest in California, where it hag over thirty branches. One of its houses. started to do a wholesale business, has exchanged $18,000 worth of goods in the past eight months without the use of a dollar in money. At this San Francisco store may be seen cigars and socks from branches of the Exchange at Reading, Pa., brooms from’ Washington, shirts from Ohio and fruit from San Diego. The various branches exchange such products as will probably be found in demand at the several points they cover. Checks are issued in payment for goods received from members, and these checks are receivable at the exchange for anything there may be in stock, Of course until the Labor Exchange has railroads of its own, it must use money to pay for transportation between its branches, It is beginning in a small way to solve tMat difficulty. Subscriptions in é land, material and provender have been subscribed, to build a railway through the Willamette Valley, a rich farming region in Oregon, This, if successful, will furnish a valuable object lesson in rail- road building without -wholesale robbery as @ necessary incident. THE PRIZE STORY CONTEST. Several months ago the Sunday Post- Dispatch offered a prize for the best short story submitted by an amateur. It was expected that the award would be made | nigh tariffers are taking no account of this sure law.

No doubt Mr. before this, but the competition was so unexpectedly great that a delay was un- avoidable, Hundreds of manuscripts were submitted, and it was impossible for all to be read in time to make the award at the date originally fixed. Towards the close of the contest manuscripts were received at the rate of fifty per day, and in justice to all the competitors all had to be read. The award will be made in the issue of Sunday, July 11. ——- 9 —— THE STORY OF JUDAS. It is an old, old story which J. Leroy Nixon tells in a book called ‘“‘The Lowly Nazarene,” in which the writer attempts to vindicate the character of Judas Is- cariot. Mr. Nixon thinks Judas was only animated by a desire to afford op- portunity for the Christ to display a Divine power which would save Him from death. Within the first century after the cru- cifixion this story was heard in Rome. It is said to have been preserved in manu- script until the Middle Ages. It could not save Judas from anathema then. Nor can it now. The thirty pieces of silver will be re- garded by most minds as conclusive evi- dence against this contention of the an- cient Romans and modern Nixons. But if we accept, as argument, the claim that Judas took a bribe only to more thor- oughly deceive those he was attempting to astound and destroy, the argument cannot stand against the proof that long before the betrayal Judas had exhibited the lust of money, and that, immediately before the betrayal, he had assurance that the sacrifice he was about to make would be complete. It is well not to forget Judas as the only man among twelve in a position to be- tray their Master, capable of that be- trayal. And there is nothing shallower than the denunciation of his race for his sin. Has there ever been a race with more than eleven loyal, devoted and in- corruptible men out of any twelve? 1 .— ___-—- Nicholas Fleming, the ward heeler and thug, who threatened Election Commis- sioner Jones in the court room Friday because he did his duty in prosecuting the election frauds in the Fourteenth Ward, was guilty of contempt of court and should be severely punished.

She raised the crop herself, came to market with it and looked after the sales. Belle C. Greene, author of the “Adven- tures of an O)]d Maid,’’ which is said to have reached a circulation of over 100,000 copies, has attempted the risky experiment of writing a sequel to that humorous sketch, By marrying the old maid to a suitably rus- tic widower shé secures the characters that figure in “Mr, and Mrs. Hannibal Haw- kins,’’ issued by the American Publishers’ corporation.

There may be others, but I‘havé found few with exactly the brand of honesty this one sported. It was on a Finney avenue car. I was on the back platform, because, ac- cording to custom, women had pre-empted the rear seats “reserved” for smokers, al- though there were plenty of vacant seats further along. The conductor called at- tention fo a 3-cent piece he drew out with some other change. Three-cent pieces were | called in long ago and are a trifle eT now. Therefore, I offered him three copper cents for it, supposing in my unsophistl- cated way that he would be glad to get rid of it. But not so. “No,” he replied airily, “T had three of them and I got rid of the other two, passing them off for dimes in giving change. They are the same size as dimes, and hardly any one would notice the difference. I.expect to work this off the same way.” , Now was not this conductor an honest man—refreshingly honest? There may be others who would defraud a careless pas- senger of 7 cents, but how many are honest enough to boldly declare their intention be- forehand? That man should be promoted. He is likely to own the road some day. The Lindell, Suburban and Scullin man- agements are to be praised for providing accommodations for smokers. The Lindell lines run smoking cars in the mornings up till 9 o’clock, besides allowing smoking om, the two rear seats on each side of every car. The Scullin and Suburban cars have the latter arrangements. Unfortunately for the smoker, however, the good intentions of the management are largely frustrated by the carelessness of conductors and the thoughtlessness often of the ladies. It is an every-hour occurrence for women to flop down in the first seats they come to in a practically empty car, and the smoker must forego his privilege or stand on the platform. The Scullin line, in a notice prominently placed, announcing that smok- ing is allowed on the three rear seats, adds an equally prominent request that ladies will not occupy these seats when others are vacant. That is the only line which has got so far along, but it would be a very. simple matter for conductors to politely request ladies to take other seats when they take the rear seats—always provided there are other seats. It should be second nature to the conductors to do so, any way, since they practice the familiar cry, “Move up In front,” regularly every morning, evening and o’ Sunday afternoons, The open summer cars threaten us with a new danger. ‘“‘Don’t spit on the floor,” is well enough in its way, but to violate that rule is better than to expectorate from the window and let the merry wind do the rest. Ladies can raise thelr skirts to preserve them from the puddle of what the country folks used to call “‘ambier,” but there is no protection against the idiot who sits in front and turns \his tobacco juice loose through the open window, to be sprayed onto the unhappy folks sitting behind. This species of idiocy is not confined to passen- gers, either. On a Laclede avenue car on Friday the motorman was chewing his quid, and spiting at frequent intervals over the dashboard. The wind took it up and brought it back in a shower of fine drops through the open front windows of the car. This went on until a passenger made a vig- orous kick, And then what did the motor- man do? Stop chewing? Not at all. He calmly put up the window, hot as the weather was, and continued to enjoy. him- self. \ Speaking of the Board of Health rule against spitting in cars and other public places, I saw, one evening last week, the most fin-de-siecle cuspidor ever improvised. The tobacco chewer was returning from the opera, and like mostly all chronic devotees of the weed, he could not wait until he got home for a chew. The rule confronted him and he ylelded obedience. He rolled up the programme of the opera in paper bag shape and was fixed for the journey. It was hard to tell whether amusement or disgust predominated among his fellow- passengers. But, after all, it was an im provement over using the floor or the open window. “Founder” Bradley has popularized As- bury Park by erecting what he calls a tryst- ing tower for lovers. Here Cupid will hold high carnival, and a generation of young men and maidens will rise up to call the name of Bradley blessed. This fills a long- felt want in almost every thickly settled community. Our city parks have shady walks and snugly sheltered benches, but the facilities for ardent wooing are not quite perfect. A young man sent in a kick only the other day. When he thought he was unobserved he kissed his best girl In the park. An unsympathetic park police- man was peeping. He suddenly appeared to the utter abashment of the young woman in the case, and told them that kissing in the park was against the law, and if it occurred again—in his sight—he would have to arrest them. Well, it did not occur again —while the policeman was looking—but a few days later the young man met Capt. Peter Reynolds and asked him if a simple kiss in the park was really an offense at law. “Yes, it Is,’ replied the gallant Captain. Then he added, as he winked the other eye, “If you are caught at it. Kissing in the park is construed as a sort of immoral act.” “A sort of immoral act,” indeeaf Who ever heard of such an outrage? Not since the days of the Puritans has kissing been under the ban of the law, and even then it was only a sin “if caught at it,” as the sagacious police Captain put it. The Purl- tan youth and maiden, it is safe to say, did not neglect their opportunities, law or no law. The law’s delay in this country tn the tn- terest of murderers has been the object of derision to other civilized nations for io these many years. Under the ordinary slow process of appeals from one court to an- other, a murderer's life might safely be insured for a couple of years, but the able lawyers for Durrant, San Francisco's atro- cious murderer, have invented a new scheme which may be worked to indefinitely pro- long his life. First they exhausted every the case to the Supreme Court, and meet- ing with defeat at every turn. This con- sumed two years. An appeal to the Gov- ernor for clemency failed, Durrant Was sentenced to hang last Friday, but, thanks to his astute attorneys, he is still ae An appeal to the Supreme Court of th United States is not a new scheme, but Durrant’s lawyers found a new way of ap- plying it. Under a Federal statute pete authorities are prohibited from taking an proceedings against a prisoner while an appeal to the Supreme Court fs pending. A writ of habeas corpus was applied for be- fore a District United States Court. It was F : 7 § an appeal was taken to the United States Supreme Court. An appeal from a lower court cannot be denied, and the statute re- ferred to restrained the State officials from carrying out the sentence, except at their peril, until the Supreme Court pastes on the case. The court is in vacation, and will not meet until October. Meanwhile Dur- rant is safe. The court will doubtless promptly decline to interfere. But what Is to hinder Durrant’s counsel from applying for writs of habeas corpus before every date set for the hanging, and then ap- pealing from the decision of the lower court? So long as any flimsy pretext re- mains on which to base a writ this game is amended. The verdict of twelve good men and true, based on the law and the evidence, ought to be sufficient to insure the carrying out of a verdict, and it is in most countries afflicted with less law. A re- versal of such a verdict is rarely based on the facts, but almost invariably on some of the hundred and one legal technicali- ties which constitute the chief reason at once for the delays of the law and the con- tempt for it. The Knorr-Wintersteen trial in the East is attracting attention throughout the coun- try because it ts the first case on record where the science of bugology has been made the agent of attempted murder. The defendant Knorr undertogk to slay his mother by scattering diphtheria germs in her clothing. (By the way, IT am not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, but I did predict in this column many months ago that sooner or later the merry little microbe would come to the front as an agent in homicide in just this manner.) . But the fact that the germs refused to im- part diphtheria to the prospective victim rather puts a crimp in the tail feathers of the bugological alarmist. some months ago by swallowing a large and varied assort.- ment of germs to prove the value of an anti-toxin with which he inoculated himself. The bugs did not harm the gentleman, but unfortunately the proof was wholly negative. There was no proof that they would have harmed him if he had not squirted anti-toxin into himself. Pasteur segregated the germs taken from a glass of water, then in a fit of absence of ‘mind he swallowed the germs. He was none the worse for the dose, The alarmists aforesaid have so peopled the atmosphere with ferocious bugs that nervous people are afraid almost to breathe, or eat, or drink, or stand, or sit, or lie down, It is not to be considered that the Knorr diphtheria germs had any moral scruples against being agents In the attempted mat- ricide, and the only rational conclusion to be drawn from that and the other cases cited is that the deadly microbe only gets in his work when the conditions are favor- able, and that the person in a normal state of health is not in a parlous state contin- ually by reason of the sporads which en- compass him round about. In due course of time George Feiferlich will be placed on trial for the murder of his brother. The defense will be insanity. That is a foregone conclusion. Medical] ex- pert testimony will declare him insane, and there will be witnesses galore to prove that he has had wheels for a long time past. These will include his relatives and a well- known physician. Mr. Feiferlich is in bet- ter luck than those of his fellow murderers in whom insanity only develops after the crime has been committed. He seems to have given undoubted. evidence of a dis- ordered mind. But is it not about time to begin locking the stable door before the horse is stolen, instead of afterwards? To confine the insane murderer after he has taken human life is well enough in that it prevents further slaughter, but it does not undo the damage. In this particular case the negligence seems to have been particu- larly flagrant, seeing that this youth, whom his family regarded as trresponsible, was allowed to carry around with him a carving knife, sharpened to a razor edge. There is just one way of putting a check on this sort of criminal carelessness. Where a plea of insanity is entered for the mur- derer, and his legal guardians testify that they have known him to be insane before the commission of the crime, let such guardians be held responsible for his acts as accessories, The iconoclast is at work again. This time he has attacked the muse of Whittler in the well-known lines which tell how Barbara, Bowed with her four-score years and ten; Bravest of all in Fredericktown, She took up the flag the men hauled down, Barbara Freitchie was the intrepid old lady referred to, and all of these years we have gone on doing honor to her bravery in the firm belief that Whittier was giving us straight goods. And now comes a nephew of the late Barbara and tells us the straight of it. The story as told by Whit- tier is all right, with a few trifling in- acuracies, which somehow seem to take all the sap out of it. The inaccuracies are, first, that Stonewall Jackson did not ride into Frederiek at the head of his troops, but arrived in a closed carriage at 4 o'clock in the morning, when all of Frederick, in- cluding Barbara, were sound asleep; that neither Jackson nor his troops went any- where near the street where Barbara lived; that the aged spinster did not take up the flag the men laid down, nor any other flag; and, finally, that she was sick in bed at the time and utterly unequal to the patriotic task of waving flags, however much she may have felt like it. After a time some descendant of Tennyson will tell us that the late poet-laureate gave us a confidence game in his “Charge of the Light Brigade,” and that no such incident ever occurred at Balaklava. A coaching party was run down by & Long Island railroad train the other day, and most of the party were killed or cruelly maimed. This particular road has 179 grade crossings in Greater New York, and has a record of 23% killed or maimed tin the last fifteen years. The Pennsylvania Railroad Co., on the other hand, raises its tracks and crosses public highways on bridges, The Long Island raflroad probably finds ft cheaper to pay damages than to go to the expense of putting its tracks over or under highways, The average railroad company values human life only by the amount of damages it is required to pay, and safe- guards against accident are adopted merely when it pays to do so. Safety brakes can be adapted to freight cars, but the rall- roads find it cheaper. to go on killing brake- men at the day. But, after all, the rallroads are not nearly so much to blame as the various legislative bodies which could compel them to abandon dan- gerous grade crossings, to adopt alr brakes, to fence thelr tracks in, and otherwise to conform to the laws for the safety of the public which obtain almost universally in European countries.

TRUST WEEK IN _ NEW YORK STATE, COAL TRUST TRYING HARD TO ESCAPE AN INVESTIGATION. HUMORS OF A TRUST TRIAL. The Beef Trust Has Advanced the Price of Beef—General Gossip of the Metropolis. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 10.—This is trust week in the State, and the public is hearing much about these philanthropic combinations which essay to save the people from them- selves for the mere trifle of a million or so every time they come to the aid of the helpless. Two of the big ones are fighting hard to hoodwink the courts and the other is holding up the people on the way to their meals, and extorting further tribute for the privilege of letting them have meat to eat. All have taken courage from the sleek ones of the Sugar gang, but a few days will de- cide for a time anyhow what measure of guccess attends their efforts. The Coal Trust is probably the most vil- lainous of the lot. Not only does it strike at the homes on the boulevards and in side streets, but it saps the life of the miners, and gives a mere pittance in return. It és controlled by the great coal roads, into the management of which J. Pierpont Morgan is said to throw all of his ability for cun- ning avariciousness whenever his cohorts fail to devise schemes suitable for his pur- pose. The latest agreement between the roads is said to be his work. This trust is engaged in Albany trying to have declared void a law passed at the re- cent session of the Legislature under which its nefarious ways are about to be opened to public gaze. If it ds defeated some right interesting matter will come to the front, as the law contemplates and provides for the broadest kind of inquisitorial examina- tion of all kinds of combines and similar in- famies. Its detractors are crying out against unwarranted tntrusion upon the private rights of individuals and corporations, and boldly declare combinations prevent utter annihilation and ruin of industries and in- dividual rights, be they of the purchaser or producer. Into the preliminary bouts in the fight of the Cigaretée Trust directors to keep out of jail for combining to prevent competi- tion in trade, some very amusing incidents have crept. The selection of jurors has Oc- cupied two days and the panel is not full. Joseph Choate is directing the examination for the trust people, and in a quiet way is affording a crowded court room rich enter- tainment. He is demonstrating that New York talesmen average up the worst aggre- gation of ignoramuses who ever cane into court. Some of the questions are well cal- culated to disturb the equainimity of most men and apparently, to the layman, are wholly irrelevant, but the majority of theen are simple. “‘What is a trust?’ is his favorite confuser, and it has brought out a variegated lot of answers. Mr. Choate frankly admits that he cannot give an en- tirely satisfactory definition of the term, but the electrical engineer who said it was a combination of wealth to reduce wages and increase profits had such a good idea of the phrase that Mr. Choate challenged him instanter. One fellow was asked what he would do if the Court instructed him that the law meant one thing, the District Attorney in- sisted it meant something else and Mr. Choate declared it meant still something * else. scratched his head a minute then announced that if accepted he would agree to even up matters and get an average. “Preponderence of evidence’ and “burden of proof” were interchangeable in the minds of several as meaning that “this fellow’s case is all right, but you have not evidence enough.’’ "hen one sa‘d he lived in Seventh avenue in four rooms with his wife and eleven -children, there was a laugh throughout the court room and Mr. Choate let him go in a hurry. A man with that overwhelming proof of poverty is not cal- culated to return favorable verdicts for milliona’res. An Irishman became ind'g- nant when asked if he smoked cigarettes. Fie tartly replied, ‘‘No. I laves th'm things fur’the doddes,”’ which answer was partic- ularly embarrassing to three of the at- torneys in the case as they sat twirling un- I't “sticks” at the time. The case will prob- ably begin in earnest to-morrow. It is in this case that the impudence of the trust and the Pinkertons is displayed more brazenly than ever seen in New York ‘courts. Ever since the case began these de- tectives have mingled among the talesmen and witnesses, and after jurors are accepted they never lose sight of them until they reach their homes and are in the street when they emerge the next day. The Dis- triet Attorney has been compelled to put his detectives to watching the Pinkertons. The Beef Trust has not got into court, but it is into the pockets of the people with both fists. Prices have been way up for several months, but on June 16 steaks will: be advanced four to ten cents a pound, ac- cording to cut, and veal will jump three to six’cents. That means the enormous grab of $112,000 every day in the week in New York alone. Every grade of beef will be affected, ay ee oped all men will con- tribute to this blood money. She who pur- chases chuck steaks for her dray driver will pay proportionately with the chef from the alace. ’ ac is claimed by the Trust that there is a shortage in the supply, owing partly to the demand in England incident to the Jubilee, all of which seems to be a lie of full width. It Is true that there is a shortage of beef in this city, but it has been deliberately brought about in anticipation of this rise in prices. Instead of sending sixty or more cars here daily the limit has been thirty for the last six weeks. The supply on hand here is always large, but such a cut in Sicady supply is having its effect quickly. As to the jubilee fairy tale there is abun- - dant proof of its falsity. The truth is that on yesterday only twelve carloads were sent abroad, while on the same day last year one hundred and thirty-eight cars were rent. The receipts from the West for those days vary more amazingly, as two hundred and thirty-six cars was the record jast year, but only twenty-nine cars came in yester- day. The receipts of veal vary as greatly. Yes- terday nineteen head were received, while on the same day a year ago the receipts were 6.274 head. The mutton market has thus far escaped the gouging process, and prices are about normal. ge ee we steaks sold at 25 cents a pound, tenderloins 35 cents, fillets 6) cents, sirloins 16 cents and chucks 16 cents. To-day each, except tenderjoins, is 2 cents higher. Next Tuesday they will be boosted up an average of a little more than cents, making the daily consumption of about 2,250,000 pounds: cost more than $157.00 over last year, and about $112,000 more than to-day. If the public was fully acquainted with the rituation it is possible that the price otf beef would not alone prevent one enjoyin steaks in New York. A chef of ability tok me that nbd steak could be brought into his kitchen under three months, and that it was a crime to use a steak within six weeks after the an'mal had been killed. He was not a Frenchman, as might be ex- ected, but a pain American who knows ow to cook. is views are the views of all the leading chefs here. “New steaks’ are tough, they say, and the only way to obtain a firat-c ase Havor as well as tender cuts, Is to soften them by age and freezing. But it is not only in steaks that the New York stomach ts peculiarly schooled. Fowls are simply beyond the pale of civilizea man. For three years I have tried to get a bird or fowl that was not fully ac- quainted with other days, They are sent to this market with feathers on and not opened, In this condition they are storea for weeks, -and months sometimes, before be'ng offered for sale. Then all the soda in town will not keep down stories of their bad character. . 1. ere are other things equally as horri- ble offered for sale. I know where a bear is tn storage that has been there since the fal}-of 18%. It was offered for sale each winter since then, but no one wanted it. Another bear killed at the same time was gold t winter.

THE RELATION EXISTING BETWEEN SILVER ANDPRICES. Moreton Frewen on Drain From Debtor Nations,” “the Bconomic ‘Tihhe Fer Capita Imcome of the American Farmer Lower Than in Ireland. Lower, Too, Than the Cost of Maintaining Paupers— Paper by the English Bimetallist. A Remarkable Great Moreton Frewen of the distinguished bi- metallists in Europe sends to the Post-Dis- patch the following paper which was read before the Society of Arts in London, May 2: The problem, what is to be the future ex- change value of the money which three- | fourths of the human race tender for our @0ods, is {n itself a problem of immense im- portance. But, stated thus simply, it might appear to be:chiefly a question of in- ternational bookkeeping. When, however, we have come to recognize that, with every reduction in the price of silver bul- lion, the exchange with Asia falls; that when the silver currencies of Asia depre- clate all the export trades of Asia are stim- ulated; then, indeed, we have arrived at the threshold of what is evidently a great race . question—a question of how the white man with the yellow money is to meet the com- petition of the yellow man with the white money. The Silver Question then, even from this standpoint, is clearly of infinite interest; but, by the light of the recent elections in the United States, we see that even more than a race conflict, there is involved the most bitter class antagonisms; and just as these antagonisms and the knowledge of all they portend have only after twenty years really worked their way to the political surface in America, so also, beyond all doubt, they are destined to emerge not MORETON FRDWEN. much later .within the British Empire and in Europe, and with revolutionary violence unless our statesmen are able to secure an equitable settlement before any long delay. THE UNEARNED INCREMENT IN GOLD. From all sides the evidence accumulates that too great a subscription to revenue is to-day being made by the very poor, too small a subscription by the very rich; therefore, men’s minds have begun to rec- Ognize the true resources of taxation in what is called the “unearned increment” wherever that increment is to be found, Now, since 1873 the value of the gold sov- ereign—its purchasing power—has nearly doubled; the man who then owned £100,- 000 in 1873, and who to-day owns £100,- 000, is nearly twice as wealthy now as he was in 1873. Rightly or wrongly—I do not wish to prejudge the issue—our economists declare that this rise in the value of the sovereign results from changes in monetary legislation—changes in Germany, France, and America in 1878 and in England in 1898—changes which for the first time in history have given a monopoly value to gold. If, then, an unearned increment, which has nearly doubled the wealth of cer- tain classes, has been obtained by legisla- tlon—has been obtained by design and not by accident—the recent attempt in America to prevent the further enrichment of the money owners can hardly be attacked on moral grounds. A quarter of a century ago the late Mr. John Bright, at a time when the mere accident of the great gold discov- eries in California and Australla had added Some 50 per cent to the selling value of English land, was in favor of taking this “unearned increment” by means of taxing the landlord. But if that vast unearned in- crement, which has now so enriched the fundiord, has resulted from no bounty of nature, as was then the case, but from al- terations in monetary laws since 1873, here is clearly an unearned increment which should, on every moral ground, be attract- ing the attention of our Treasury officials. BRITISH INDIA’S ABSORPTION OF SII- VER, In addressing your learned society to- night, I have no desire to enlarge upon that somewhat dreary topic, “Bimetallism” so-called. If a bimetallist is one who be- lieves that the enduring settlement of the silver question involves the invention by Great Britain of a new legal tender, silver coin, then I am not a bimetallist, for I be- lieve no such change is necessary, The world had effective bimetallism untt) 1873, and to that beneficent monetary system which obtained before 1873 England, and not France, was the largest contributor, For by keeping the mints of 250,000,000 of our people in India open to the unlimited coin- age of silver, and by rigidly demonetizing gold in India, England greatly reduced the demand for gold—which demand would otherwise have resulted in sweeping most of the new gold of Australia and California into the hoarding places of the Orient.* I believe that what England did for silver be- fore 1893, is at last beginning to be recog. nised in view of that awful collapse in the silver exchanges, occasioned by Eng- land’s anti-silver legislation in 188. And when in France and Germany public opin- fon recognizes the impolicy of waiting, ure. til England does more for silver, than ta), as she has often taken, tn her Indian Fan- pire, the entire silver produced by all .the mines of the world during the year—vrnen *Retween 1848 and 1877, tbe egate trace bal. ances in favor of India amount to £511,003 oo a y in excess of al! the gold whivh eame years, both from California ard Aur- with such figures, what ground oe gg given free comage in over semsale in the oles of ‘f@arrencies ef Pi ge mamma nee Tan. a em... stare. ere a ata RE RR LS i | s France and Germany have learned this lIes- son, as I believe America has learned it already, then indeed we shall witness the close of this barbarous period, of exchange disasters, and of wrecked agriculture, with which experimental legislation has afflicted us for now a quarter of a century.” To the efforts of the American Monetary Commission, now in Paris, I offer this small contribution. Let them point out to the French authorities from the Report of our Silver Commission in 1875, that during the twenty-five preceeding years, while the product of all the silver mines in the world was valued at £220,000,000, England’s East- ern Empire absorbed of this sum no less than £164,000,000. But it is far from my desire this evening to theorize as to the best method of secur- ing for the world steady exchanges. That subject is endless. It is enough to point out that between the two parties—the party which believes that universal free coinage of both metals is required to maintain par- ity, and the other party which believes that a single great nation with open mints can act as money changer for the world— between these two parties, a third party is now emerging which believes that one or at most two great nations, with open mints, can in conjunction with silver monometal- lism in India, settle our present exchange troubles, and for all time to come maintain the ratio. THE FALL OF PRICES AND THE ECO- NOMIC DRAIN FROM EGYPT AND THE UNITED STATES. I now come to that portion of my sub- ject, where we are no longer in the domain of theory, but where we are able to deal with accepted facts and figures. It is quite evident that as prices fall, there must result an increasing economic drain from debtor nations; I mean either from those nations, whose national debts are largely held abroad, or from those nations which for industrial developments, have been large borrowers from other countries. Egypt may be said to afford an extreme instance of the former class of debt@r nations, and the United States of the latter class. Let me put it in this way—the national] debt of Egypt is, roughly, £100,000,000 ster- ling. Egypt is a purely agricultural com- munity, with a little over 5,000,000 acres of cultivable land all told. The whole debt of Egypt is owned abroad, therefore, prac. tically a foreign mortgagee, has a mortgage of £20 per acre upon the®entire Nile valley. His interest is paid to the mortgagee by the export of produce, chiefly of cotton. Now, cotton having fall- en in value more than one-half. since Khedive Ismail forced his country into this morass of debt, it follows that twice as much of the produce of each acre has to be exported from Egypt. Such Is the added burden of lower prices In the ancient land of the Pharaohs. Now let us take the case of the new world. The United States has borrowed enormous sums of money, in Eu- rope to build railways, to build towns, to clear farms, to build breweries, to develop mines. Estimates differ greatly as to the amount owed by America abroad, but it is probably safe to reckon it at £600,000,000 sterling. I may remark here, that as the known external indebtedness of only 4,000,- 0v0 people in Australasia is over £350,000,000, it might be safe to estimate the external debt of the 70,000,000 people in the United States at a higher figure. Let us say then, that the interest annually paid by the United States in Europe is £30,000,000; that to send her prod- uce to Europe, there to exchange it for the money she owes Europe, requires a payment of some £15,000,000, in freights, to our shipowners; and further, that American visitors spend annually at least £15,000,000 in Europe. From these fig- ures it is evident that the economic drain from America, a drain represented by the excess of her exports over her imports, is not less than £60,000,000 per annum. Sixty millions pounds per annum, or some $300,000,000; so that exclusive of Sundays, the United States must ex- port, to pay her foreign debt, nearly $1,000,- 000 daily, more than she imports. Now, just as in the case of Egypt, so also have the prices of America’s staple exports, wheat, cotton, maize, copper and silver— fallen one-half; therefore it is clear that but for that fall of prices, the burden of the external debt of the United States, upon the industries of that great debtor coun- try, would be one-half less than it now is. SIR ROBERT GIFFEN ON THE DAN- GEROUS APPRECIATION OF GOLD IN 1888. Thus the demand in the United States, that silver should be remonetized, is largely | the expression of the desire in that coun- try, that the former level prices shall be re- stored, or at least that the present intol- tonger bonused by the depreciation of their currencies, gold prices in Europe would advance by leaps and bounds; thus the ‘United States would both export more of her produce and get higher prices for It, so that her balance of $300,000,000 Would be maintained without any difficulty—without the almost daily risk of being obliged to export gold instead of goods. I am not concerned to discuss whether or no the view of the Free Silver Party in the United States is correct and_ selentific. Enough to say that just as the difference in 1893 between open mints to silver in In- dia, and closed mints involved an immedi- ate difference of some 23 per cent in the price of silver bullion, so also the fact of open mints to silver, instead of closed mints, in a community of the predominant commercial importance of the United States cannot fail greatly to raise the price of sil- ver. You will bear in mind also that the ac- tion of the Indian Government in 1893 in making the rupee scarce and artificially dear cut down as if by magic the great favorable trade balances India had for so many years enjoyed, and turned the balance of trade actually against her. With such an ~object-lesson as that of 1893 to guide us, I think there can be no question but that free coin- age in the United States would greatly raise the rates of European exchange not only with India but with all Asia. South America and Russia would contract the exports from those countries until gold prices had risen, and would thus afford just that stimulus to America’s exports which is needed to reduce the economic drain occasioned by low prices. An investigation of the present American crisis is outside the purpose of my remarks, It is enough to say that a favorable solu- tion of their financial trouble, is hardly possible so long as Europe’s rates of ex- change with all silver-using nations, re- main as low as to-day. THE NATIONAL INCOME OF DEBTOR NATIONS. I must now venture upon a short eco- nomic investigatjon, the statistics for which are very far from complete. If they were complete we should be enabled to arrive at most valuable and, I fear not infrequent- ly, most alarming conclusions: I refer to the National Incomes of Debtor Nations. It is evident that the individuals who make up a nation, and who create the yearly wealth product of that nation, must deduct from that product enough to feed, to clothe, and to shelter them; for otherwise the human machine will become unfit for work. This is the first mortgage upon in- dustry. Now, the problem—a problem of immense interest—which is beginning to at- tract attention, is this: has the economic drain so increased as prices fall, that be- yond a subsistence ration, the creditor na- tion is taking everything produced by the debtor? If this is the case, such a condl- tion of wealth distribution amounts to a moral enslavement of the debtor commu- nity. An economic drain, then, of any such magnitude, is not in the true interest even of the creditor nations. It is calculated to create unfriendly relations hetween debtor and creditor, and finally, If carried far enough, to involve debtor and creditor alike in the common ruin. Can anything then be-more important, than to secure correct figures of national per capita incomes? Mr, Bowley has worked it out for Great Britain, in a paper* of splendid elaboration. He shows that our gross annual wealth prod- uct, animal, agricultural, structural, min- eral—our wealth of all kinds, when dl- vided by our population, gives a quotient of £42 per capita for every man, woman and child. Now, I take for a substance ra- tion—that ration required in a climate such as ours—a little more than sixpence per day, or say £10 per capita per annum. De- ducting this from £42, there remains a surplus available for taxation and accumu- lation such as I suppose the world has never known. Is this surplus being accu- mulated for us by the increasing economic drain from debtor nations? In other words, does it represent, an increase in the suffer- ings of our debtors all over the world? THE WEALTH SURPLUS AVAILABLE FOR TAXATION IN GREAT BRITAIN AND IN IRELAND. Let me draw your attention, not merely to the magnitude of this per capita surplus of £32, or over £1,100,000,000 a year, but to its value—its purchasing power. The sover- eign with us is worth as much, or almost as much, as it is in France or Germany; it is worth considerably more than the sover- eign in our Colonies or in the United States. The financial relations of Ireland with this country have been recently attracting much attention. The economic drain from Ire- land in proportion to her resources is very great. A large part of her banking capital, of her railway ‘capital, her shipbuilding, brewing and distilling capital, is English. Her soil is extensively mortgaged to Eng- lish loan companies, and there is the drain also of rents to absentee landlords. Now, the evidence given before the Financial Re- lations Commision, and especially the evi- dence of Sir Robert Giffen, shows that the total annual wealth product of Ireland is not more than £65,000,000, or say £14 6s. per capita, from which, if we deduct a sub- sistence ration of £10 per capita, or £45,- 000,000; £10,000,000 more for Imperial and ‘local taxes, and the surplus in the case of Ireland is at the most £10,000,000, as com- pared with a surpius of £1,000,000,000 In the United Kingdom. In the case of Ireland, then, there can be no doubt that after pro- viding for the subsistence ration and the cost of the administration whatever remains flows into the economic drain to thecreditor nation, England. Perhaps the most ominous evidence given before the recent commission was this—that the standard of living in Ireland is extremely low—even lower than that subsistence ration which I regard as erable economic drain abroad, shall not be intensified by prices lower still. In 18838, | Sir Robert Giffen, after expressing the opinion that the “recent change from a | high level to a low level of prices is due | to a change in money,” added this truly | remarkable prophecy. He foresaw “‘troub- | lous times both for some of our Australian | colonies and for a country like the Argen- | tine Republic even if the appreciation does. not grow more serious. That the pile of debts has to be paid, principal] and interest, in appreciating money is a most serious consideration.’’*** Even if the appreciation does not grow more serious! Since those words were written in 1888 gold has further appreciated 20 per cent. CAN DEBTOR NATIONS MAINTAIN A BALANCE OF TRADE? 4n economic problem then of great gravy- ity with all debtor nations is this—namely, how, with prices perpetually falling, they | over imports to pay their can maintain a sufficient balance of exports foreign debts. President McKinley hopes to: do this by such a tariff as in discouraging imports will give him an artificial trade balance of sufficient dimensions, Mr. Bryan's view was that the restoration of silver to free coin- age would so raise the silver exchanges be- tween Europe and Asia that the exports from silver and paper communities, being no - OE eg ne **Retween 1856 and 1860 India’s net importation of sliver was £51,500,000; the total silrer uc- tien from the world’s mines was £40,700, ' Registrar-General, **** Journal 8 - eng of the Statistical Society,’’ Decem barely adequate. Dr. Grimshaw, the Irish speaks of ten-roomed houses where there are ten families. Other witnesses report that the diet of the com- munity suffers, because good fresh food of all kinds has necessarily to be exported, poor innutritious foreign food being im- ported to take its place. We should look under such conditions for the deterioration of the human machine, for a starved cul- tivation and a starved cultivator. AGRARIAN INCOME IN THE UNITED STATES. Let us now cross the Atlantic and see what is happening on the farms of the United States, where again we have a com- munity very largely dependent for the pros- perity of its cities, its railways and its creditor Class, upon the profitable opera- tions of its farmers. According to the Census Report for 1890, the number of farms was 4,564,641; the num- ber of people per average farm 5.8; the num- ber of acres per average farm 137; the gross value of the produce per farm, $539; so that we may roughly estimate that to-day al- most one-half of the 70,000,000 of that popu- lation is engaged in agriculture, and if you divide the value of the produce of the farm by the number of people on the farm, you will find that the annual gross income of the farm population in 1890 was less than £20 per capita. Since 1890, average prices in England have falien*® 15 per cent, while ®Journal of the Statistical Society, June, 19%. **See Sauerbeck'’s todex numbers. a . ‘the fa im the firm “price of products in America has been at least % per cent. It Is safe, therefore, to say that the present gross income of the American agricultural- ist is not more than £15 ($75) per annum, or some 10d (0 cents) per day; whereas the contract cost of maintenance for paupers in the workhouses of the United States is returned in official documents at 14d (23 cents) per capita per day! And I venture to make this statement with strong, conviction, that if, as the offi- cial figures seem to demonstrate, the gross income of the Irish agricultural] class is now but very little loWer than that which obtains in the United States, then emigra- tion at present offers no resource to Ire- land. When you take into consideration the heat of the summer, the severity of its winter season to northward of the Potomac, as also the greater cost of living on the American farm, I think that the income from agriculture should be one-half more in America than the income in Ireland, to justify the American emigration of Irish farm families. Allowing in the case of America £10 per annum for the subsistence ration, plus £3 for the requirements of the Federal, the State and the County revenues, there re- mains at present prices not more than £2 per annum, with which to support the local railway and to pay interest on local and foreign loans. There can be no doubt, that in the case of the United States, the great- est debtor nation tn the world, how to meet the economic drain caused by its external debt has become an almost insoluble prob- lem, solely because Of the fall in the price of all its exports. DISTRIBUTION OF THBD WEALTH PRODUCT OF NEW ZEALAND. Before concluding the subject of the National Income, permit me to make a brief reference to the situation of New Zealand and of New South Wales. These two splendid..colonies are “separate fiscal entities;’’ it is therefore comparatively easy to secure reliable estimates of the eco- nomic drain, and this is not equally the case in dealing with communities such as Essex and Ireland, or such as Missouri and California. In each of these colonies is a statistical bureau in charge of a govern- ment official; and the population, being comparatively small, the estimates of wealth production are probably more re- liable than in any other country. When traveling in New Zealand, two years since, I was at some trouble to analyze from offi- cial sources the annual wealth product of the colony; and it works out, I found, at some £15,500,000 sterling, or rather over £22 per capita for 700,000 people. I gathered that the per capita returns from agriculture, in- cluding in this sheep-raising—that the re- turns are 10 per cent greater than in the United States; while if we allot to the American and equally to the New Zea- lander a subsistence ration of £10 ber an- num, then considering the perfection of the climate the latter enjoys, he is much better off than his fellow-worker in North Ameri- ca. Now if we deduct the subsistence ra- tion for 700,000 people—or £7,000,000 sterling per annum, from £15,500,000, the total wealth product, there remains for distribu- tion £8,500,000. Of this sum the cost of Government, including the education grant, is £2,500,000; there is also £1,800,000 of inter- est on £39,000,000 of public loans borrowed in England, and there is the interest on £26,000,000 of private loans contracted in England, which estimated at 5% per cent, is nearly £1,500,000 sterling more. If then- we deduct these three items, which amount to £5,800,000 a year, from the £8,500,- 000 available for distributidn, there remains for New Zealanders £2,300,000 only, or less than threepence per capita per day to re- ward their toil; and out of this they must pay the sea freights on their produce sent to Europe. Now but for the fall of W per cent in New Zealand prices .since 1873 the position of this colony would be very dif- ferent. The value of the annual wealth product would to-day be not £15,500,000, but £31,000,000, from which sum (allowing for the altered value of money) deduct a sub- sistence ration of per annum, or £14,- 000,000, and £5,800,000 for the cost of govern- ment and the external debt, so that instead of £2,700,000, as to-day, there would remain for the colony more than four times that sum, namely, £11,200,000. DEBT AND PRICES IN NEW S0UTH WALES. I now take the case of New South Wales, which, like California, is surely one of the garden spots of the world. In population it is about equal to California, and equal also in the wealth of its resources; and probably also, if we could get at the figures for California, about equally in debt to the outer world. In Mr. Coghlan, the Govern- ment of the colony has a most talented and painstaking statistician; and these are the figures prepared by Mr. Coghlan, when I was in Sydney two years ago. The total external payments of interest by the colony on its publie and private loans is £5,100,000. The exports of the colony, which in 18%. were £15,904,961, would at the prices of 1872 have realized £29,078,000, while the imports of the colony, namely, £11,128,929, would at the prices of 1872 have cost the colony £16,- 819,000. Here then is a loss occasioned by the fall of prices, aggregating £7,500,000 on the external trade alone—or a yearly loss of over £6 per capita. Thus the fall of prices has imposed its annual fine upon this col- ony, equal to the interest on its entire ex- ternal debt, and £2,000,000 to boot. You will observe also from these returns that while the colony has saved 83 per cent on the prices at which it buys from us, its loss on what it sells us was at the rate of 45 per cent, for the reason probably that its sales were of raw material and its purchases manufactured articles, in which articles labor combinations thus far have been able to keep up the rate of wages and thus pre- vent the full fall in prices. IS THE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH COMPATIBLE WITH RUINED AGRICULTURE? In conclusion let me say that in this ques- tion of the economic drain from debtor nations, which has been caused by the fall of prices, there is much more involved than the straining of our relations whether with Ireland or the United States, or than that further financial catastrophe which has overtaken our colonies. The great fall of prices, in wrecking what must always be the greatest industry employing white men, namely, agriculture, is also wrecking the entire edifice of political philosophy, which for the wisest and the best of our ancestors, was the work of their lives. For what Is the ultimate aim of all political effort? Is it not the equitable distribution of wealth? And I believe that the history of mankind is witness that the best possible—indeed the only—evidence of equity in the distribution of wealth is to be found tn the contempo- rary prosperity of agriculture. And it Is agriculture which to-day, In this country, in Ireland, in North America and in Aus- tralia is waterlogged because of the col- lapse of prices. What has been the dis- tinctive feature of &@ prosperous agriculture throughout history if not that while few in the community have become very rich few adiso have been very poor. But look what is taking place ‘with the great rise in the value of gold. While millions of white farmers are to disaster, and while ‘the great cities are congested with @ “sub- merged tenth,” driven in from the aban- doned fields, there is to-day emerging «a small group of millionaires, the value of j, their sovereigns doubled and the number of , those sovereigns quadrupled. | In the United States we learn from official returns that the average wealth of the families in the rural districts is £700, while the average wealth of the families in the cities is nearly £2,000; and yet in the cities two-thirds of the families are without prop- erty at all. Of Great Britain, a distin- guished American, Prof. Charlies Spahr, writes, after a careful analysis of our wealth statistics: “If we sum up the re- sults of our inquiry we find that less than 2 per cent of the families of the United Kingdom hold about three times as much property as all the remainder, and that 938 per cent of the people hold less than 8 per cent of accumulated wealth.” And of America, he says: “Seven-eighths of the families hold but one-eighth of the national wealth, while 1 per cent of the families hold more than the remaining ninety-nine."* *‘*The Present Distribution of Wealth in the United States,"’ p. 69.

Police Arrest Two of the Boys, Who Say the Bullet Went Thrcugh a Fence Crack. A cat rifle 1s responsible for Elizabeth Col- lins being a patient at the City Hospital with a bullet in her left shoulder. Half a dozen little darkies were shooting at a mark. Their aim was bad and Mrs. Collins was made an unwilling target. Abe Hall and Frank Turner are locked up at the Fourth District,Police Station, and the police are looking for Jess Wallace, Al- bert Paschall, Milton Smith, Joe Slemmins and an unknown negro boy. The wounded woman is 60 years old, a widow, and lives at 1328 Gay street. day morning she was at her work in her rear yard, and was bending over when there was a sudden twinge of pain in her left shoulder. At the same instant there was the report of a gun shot, and a faint puff of smoke told that the shot came from the adjoining yard on the west. The aged negress gave a cry of pain and pitched forward. She thought she was mor- tally wounded, and so did the crowd of neighbors who surrounded her in a few minutes. A policeman heard the report and hastened to the scene. Nobody seemed to know who had fired the shot. he wounded woman revived sufficiently to tell the po- liceman that the shot came from the ad- joining yard. The old negress was forwarded to the City Hospital, where it was said her wound ig not serious. Abe Hall was found at his home next door. He was placed under ar- rest. At the station he said a gang of col- ored boys came into the yard where he was helping his mother with a washing. The Boys had a cat rifle. He tried to drive them away, and told them they might hurt some one. He and his mother went in the house and a few minutes later he heard the report of cy gun. Almost at the same instant he heard screams from the next yard. Abe ran out and saw the gang clamber over the rear fence and scamper away. He d'a not go over to see how badly the woman was hurt, because the wash had to be put out, Special Policemen Crowley and White icked up Frank Turner, 16 years old, of 1330 inden street, an hour after the shooting. He admitted his connection with the affair and was locked up. He said a colored boy whose name he did not know owned the cat rifle and invited the others to take Ay in some fancy shoot- ing. They got a lid to a baking powder can and put it on the fence. Albert Paschal] was the first to take a shot. Nobody saw the old woman in the adjoining yard. There was a crack in the fence and the bullet went through it and struck the old woman. Then her screains frightened them away. The police are looking for the other boys, COACHMEN AT OUTS.

BROADWAY, and All Leading Dealers. a EO EE ee ee HE IS SUBD AND OUT OF HUMOR MAGGIE DWYER WANTS $5,000 FROM CHARLES DEAN. SHE SAYS SHE WAS JILTED. Blackmail Is the Cry of the Fruit Mer- chant, Who Desires to Fight. Miss Maggie Dwyer has filed suit against Charles Dean, charging breach of marriage promise. Five thousand dollars will heal her heart wounds, she indicates in her peti- tion. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant promised to marry her Oct. 15, 188, and that promise has not yet been fulfilled. E. W. Banister is attorney for the plaintiff. The suit was filed Saturday morning. The attorney says he knows little of h's client. She is, he thinks, a working girl. She was brought to his office by a former woman client who had got a judgment. “She paid her retainer and costs of filing, and I drew up the complaint,”’ said Mr, Banister. ‘‘That is all I know, except that the defendant's name is Charles Dean, and he keeps a fruit and flower stand in Union Market near the corner of Morgan.” Mr. Dean was not in a good humor when the reporter asked for him. He was sorting some iemons, and was mad at finding six- teen bad lemons to one good one, and he felt the need of putting the one good lemon on a gold basis. “What is it?” he snarled. But before he could get an answer he chased a rolling orange into the gutter, and rescuing it, placed it carefully at the apex of his pyra- mid. “What yer want?” Mr. Dean saw his visitor did not want to buy an orange, for he looked savage.

Repeated orders from Capt. O’Malley to close up the place have not yet met with consideration. “The resort is worse than either of its late competitors,” says Capt. O'Malley. “Bryant’s, at Sixth and Spruce, the Comique, at Sixth and Elm, and the Palace, at Seventh and Elm, each of which respond- ed to our demands by suspendin business, were less objectionable. he Globe, too must close or Rosellj will get into trouble.” The Globe is a type of the cheap amuse- ment house where the ignorant and vicious gather to be regaled with coarseness and raw jest. The room is boxed up like a barn, with a hay mow-looking gallery, having a closed stairway leading to the stage. he stage is about the size of an ordinary sitting room. Its scenic accesSories are not less execrable than its other appointments, i mr is a smell of mackerel about the Three musicians manipulate a ding-dong piano, a fiddle and a horn.

J —— The police charge the establishment with serving drinks in connection with the amusement, but there was no evidence of tnis at Friday’s entertainments. Cadaverous and bedizzened women flaunt and strut about the stage. All the levee and Bowery songs are made to do service, from those that prate of “love’’ and shamrocks to “bullies,” “‘coons” and “coppers.” In the main the programme js just the worked-over dump of amusement refuse. It works disgust in the mind and offends the nostrils. A casual inspection cannot fall to impress the visitor with its immorality and brutality, and a half hour spent there day or night is Capt. O’Malley’s best argu- ment for closing the place as a prevention of debauchery among young men. RAISED TO THE PRIESTHOOD. Archbishop Kain Makes Priests of Fourteen Students.

JUNE 13, 1897. BRYAN GARRIES. NEW YORK CITY MB CAPTURES IT WITH HARDLY AN EFFORT. MET OVATIONS EVERYWHERE. He Has Been Asked to Speak in Half a Dozen Different Places at the Same Time. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 12—William J. Bryan is holding an impromptu reception in the Bartholdi to-night. He has been visited by John C. Sheehan, as a representative of Tammany; by a committee of the Progress- ive Democratic Club; by labor leaders and others who admire him and the principles he fought for In the last campaign. He has been urged to speak in Union Square on Monday, when laboring men meet to advo- cate municipal ownership of street railways and similar public works, but has given no favorable reply. He will hardly remain, as he has an engagement in Virginia for that day. He will be asked to speak on July 4 in Tammany Hall. It is said ex-President Cleveland is not to be invited. Mr. Bryan reached the city first, early in the morning, and went to the home of John Brisbane Walker, editor of the Cosmopoli- tan Magazine, at Irvington. At noon he re- turned to the city and was met at the depot by a deputation from the Progressive Dem- ocratic Club. Quite a crowd greeted him with cheers and repeated cries of “Bryan, the next President of the United States.”’ At the invitation of Mr. John Clark Ridpath, of the Arena, and other friends down town, Mr. Bryan went to luncheon. On the way down town he called on Elliott F. Danforth, Chairman of the Democratic State Commit- tee, and discussed the political eituation. Later Mr. Bryan asserted that no political significance could be attached to his visit ane he refused to discuss the local cam- paign. On national politics he talked a little more freely, saying that the silver senti- tment was spreading, which fact was indi- cated by the large audiences which he has addressed in the North and th At Irvington earlier in Bryan sai country to-day has caused the people to see that the {cago platform was the best to improve their condition after all.

NEW YORK, June 12.—Interest was con- eentrated in the sugar crowd at the open- ing of the Stock Exchange to-day as the result of the news from Washington.

[Indian Agent Stouch Thinks They Would Keep Peace. WASHINGTON, June 12.—The Indian Office has received from Capt. Stouch, the agent of the Tongue River Reservation, @ detailed report of the recent trouble ar the post, resulting from the arrest of the Indian Stanley for the murder of Settler Hoover, The report was supplemented by a telegram received this morning stating elliow Hair and Sam Crow, accom- lices of Stanley, had n arrested and elivered to the civil) authorities. He adds at the Indians are now quiet and at their omes. Capt. Stouch’s report indicates that the rouble was argely caused by the conflict between the State and civil authorities and he eral officials. While not a shot was red, there was fear at one time that trouble would be precipitated if the Sheriff nd his posse were allow to take the urderer. Capt. Stouch declined to give im up nse to the demands of succeeded in averting a or The young brave who the murder had declined Would fignt at d o'clock, “Atter the dress and took station on a hill near the agency buildings, sending in his challenge, Capt. Stouch called the head gether and told them that he would not allow the duel, but that they must com- el the brave to surrender. A large num.- ber of Indians had gathered, and in the opinion of the agent, it was possible the fight might incite them to take a hand. Several came afterwards Stanley submitted to arrest and was lJocked up in the reserva- tion jail. It was then that the Sheriff de- manded his custody, and threatened to have Capt. Stouch arrested for interfer- ence, The indian was finally turned over to the Sheriff and taken to Miles City. Capt. Stouch concludes his report with the recommendation that two troops of cavalry be stationed at the agency as the settlers are in a disturbed state and the presence of the soldiers would tend to restore con- fidence. LIKES GREENBACKS. McKinley Shares the Regard Generally Held in Ohio. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 12.—Notwithstanding statements to the contrary it is learned on good authority that Secretary Gage has no plan in preparation or contemplation for the retirement of the greenbacks says a Washington dispatch. A published report that he had such a scheme in mind and was now formulated, was shown to the Secre- tary. He refused to make any statement on the subject, but wished it distinctly understood that his silence was not to be construed as implying either denial or con- firmation. The fact that Secretary Gage has no intention of suggesting that the greenbacks be disturbed comes from another source, The same person asserted that this policy of the ree at 4 was known some- time ago. President McKinley also is under- stood to be friendly to the greenbacks now, as he has been in the past. In his regard for the greenbacks and his belief in the importance of their function in the currency, the President Is said to share the belief which is generally had for this class of money throughout Ohio and enany parts of the middle est. The utterances of Secretary Gage in his recent speech in Cincinnati are not con- strued here, the dispatch says, as indicat- — any such radical measures of “‘currency reform” as has been inferred in some quar- ters. It has become almost certain within a few days that President McKinley will advise the appointment of a Domestic Cur- rency Commission before the close of the extra eession, and that Mr. Gage favors this action. The statement has been made more than once, however, that the President favors such a recommendation only as a measure of political expediency. He be- lieves that what the country needs most is a sound tariff law, and then freedom from every disturbance, internal or external. UNIVERSITY ENDOWMENT LAW. Its Constitutionality Is to Be Tested in the Supreme Court of Missouri. Special to the Post-Dispatch. : COLUMBIA, Mo., June 12.—The authori- tiles of Missouri University, and the admin- istrators of the estate of John C. Conley, one of the wealthiest citizens of Columbia, who died recently, are about to become in- volved in an interesting legal contest. The case will test for the first time the con- stitutionality of the law providing for en- dowment of the State University, Enown as the Yeates echolarship law. The estate of John C. Conley Is valued at $300,000. At the time of his death, he had no parents or other immediate relatives then living. Sessions Act 9 provides that if a person dies leaving no father, mother or direct lineal descendants, 5 per cent of all his estate under $10,000, and per cent of all his estate over $10,000 must go to the State University of Missouri. The tax does not include property left for religious, charitable or educational purposes. The deceased, in the present case, left over $20,000 to the poor of Columbia. The remainder of his estate will be divided among a large number of relatives. The administrators of the Conley estate are: W,. W. Garth and Turner McBain of Co- lumbia and Samuel Hunt of Boone County. They have decided to test the constitution- ality of the law in question, and the case will be vigorously contested. Its im- eb eg ss lies in the fact that many other tates have similar laws, providing for the endowment, providing for their State uni- versities. The case in question will first appear here in the Boone Circuit Court. It will be brought by the authorities of Mis- souri University in the form of a suit to enforce delinquent taxes. In this court the case will be simply a formality, as it is certain to be decided in favor of the uni- versity. The administrators then, in order to test the constitutionaiity of the case, will take it to the Supreme Court. FEASTING ON A SKELETON. Maj. Clark’s Pie-Counter Affords but Slim Picking. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HANNIBAL, Mo., June 12.—Hannibal ts now the mecca of the First Congressional District of Missouri, and ever since the special election, held on the first of this month, the aspirants for Federal appoint- ments throughout the district have been flocking around the office of Major C. N. Clark, the defeated Republican candidate for Congress, endeavoring to secure his indorsement. Major Clark receives them all cordially and although he realizes the fact that he has but little influence with the distributors at Washington, yet he assumes a Seni and an important atti- tude and sends them away in a more per- plexed state of mind than before the in- terview. To-day the members of the Republican County Central Committee held a meeting in Palmyra, to examine the claims of the candidates for the various positions, but only a few of the candidates would sub- mit claims to the committee. S. F,. Roder- ick Was the only candidate present for the Hannibal Post-office, and he is a member of the County Committee. Captain John E. Catlett, who is a formidable candidate for the office, and who has a petition as long as the mora! law, positively refused to present his claims to that committee, believing that the County Committee was assuming authority over matters that do not concern them. The County Committee is made up of men known as F lleyites, while Captain Catlett is an anti-Filleyite. r. J. L. Gleason is a candidate for Pen- sion Examiner, and it is said that he has Major Clark's indorsement. Dr. Gleason ts recognized as the “Filley of Hannibal,” and if he has Major Clark's indorsement, it proves that Major Clark -is trying to carry water on both shoulders. CUT IN PROVISION RATES. The Chicago-Seaboard Rates Are Down to 18 Cents. CHICAGO, June 12.—The traffic officials of the Eastern roads were thrown into a panic this afteryoon by a report that a tariff had been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission making a cut on packing house ‘products and provisions from Chicago to the Atlantic board of 12 cents. It was difficult to settle on the roads which had made the reduction, but the com- titors of the Pennsylvania finally decided hat it had filed the tariff. It was denied by the Pennsylvania, but the other roads are confident that it was the road that made the cut. The reduction puts the rate of pecking hovse products and provisions at cents, the previous rate having been 30 cents, Kirksville District Ministers Meet. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

LONDON VERY BEDRAGGLED. Rothschild Is Said to Have £upplied the Money for Acquiring Delago Bay. LONDON, June 12.—The weather has been winter-like during the greater part of the week. Heavy rains fell and London pre- sented an especially bedraggled appear- ance with the soaked, half-finistted jubilee decorations everywhere. On Friday, how- ever, there was a pleasant change to hot, bright weather. The changes of tempera- ture have been very trying to the American visitors who are already filling the hotels. The season as a whole was a remarkably poor one; the house agents especially echo the lament of poor business, saying there was never less demand for furnished houses. The fact is that the exorbitant prices charged for everything are keeping many thousands away. Lodging-house keepers, in many instances, have been guilty of the sharpest practices and calmly announce double prices for rent, for rooms engaged months ago at a certain figure. As an ex- aken the price of carriages; one of the biggest livery firms asks $20 for carriages to Piccadilly and return, a dis- dance of less than two miles, and they add that they will not guarantee to reach any particular spot. ng to an “absolutely unimpeacha- PE ogee hae Ba a writer in t Westminster Gazette relates how the Irish song, ““‘The Wearing of the Green,” was very recently sung in Windsor Castle.

Delagoa Bay, according to reports eman- ating from good sources, is already in pos- session of the British, and the increased number of troops which has been and ?/s being sent to Cape Colony is really intended for thé, occupation of the new possession when the time comes for announcing it. In this connection it is recalled that Roths- child practically purchased & controlling in- terest in the Suez Canal for Lord Beacons- field, when the latter was Prime Minister of Great Britain, eighteen months before the transaction was announced and Rothschild’s name is now mentioned as finding the money for the purchase of Delagoa Bay. Mr.-John Redmond, the Parnellite leader, accompanied by Louis Stuyvesant Chanler, the orator, is stumping Ireland in the causs of the Redmondite League, which he will in- augurate in a speech at Cork on Sunday. It is said that the Queen intends to confer an honorary grand cross of the Order of the Bath on M. Hanotaux, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs. This honor has but seldom been bestowed on any one below the rank of a Prince, and at present Baron Lambremont and the Grand Vizier of the late Shah of Persia are the only such per- sons whose names appear on the list of honorary grand crosses of the Bath, The Pan-Angelican conference, which wih be held at Lambeth next month, will be a notable one, at least in one re- spect. It ts offictally announced that the Czar ‘has decided that the Orthodox Church, of which he is the head, shall be repre- sented at this gathering of Angelican prel- ates. Mall advices to the Associated Press from Gibraltar give further details of the move- ments of the Slamese yacht Maha Chakskri., They say: “The yacht is now on its way to Cron- stadt, Russia, to await his majesty’s pleas- ure, to continue the tour _of the world, which he is now making. This includes a visit to the United States, Canada and Mex- ico. It is stated by the officers of the ves- sel, who are al] Englishmen, that the King will spend sufficient time in America to ai- low the yacht to go from New York, where he will jand, to San Francisco, the place of re-embarkation. The date of his arrival in the United States is not yet definitely decided,” M. Jean de Reezke’s sudden absence from the opera on two occasions when billed to appear at Covent Garden has ra.sed a crop of rumors as to differences between himseif and the management, in spite of the off- cial announcement that hie retirement was due to indisposition, Maurice Grau says there is no truth in the stories of troubie, adding that the management is as anxious as De Reszke for the Jatter to appear, but — explains the tenor ie suffering from a relaxed th The Comme Theater, after several ad- ournments, has at jest brought out J.

It is by Louise N. Parker, author of “Rosemary,” and is entitled “The Happy Ldfe.’”’ Mr. Frohman has secured the American rights of a new play by Richard Rose entitled the ‘“‘Days of Old,” which will be produced here at the St. James Theater, and the “Princess and the Butterfly,”’ both of which he will bring out next season at the New York Lyceum, It is announced that Sig. Grabliele d’An- nuncie, the Italian novelist, poet and dram- atist, is about to visit England and Scot. land. From here he goes to the United States for a trip of six months, and while there proposes to gather material for a book about America and Americans as seen through Italian spectacles, Mme, Sarah Bernhardt, the lessee of the Renaissance, says that she hopes to make it the Paris home of any foreign dramatic celebrities who may desire to play before the Parisian public. Besides ms: Duse she expects Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry to appear at the Renaissance during the coming season. Mme. Bernhardt’s London engagement begins next Thursday at the Adelphi Theater, where she will open with Alfred de Musset’s “‘Lorenzacchio.” After the conclusion of Mme, Rejan’s engagement at the Lyric Theater, that house will be re- decorated for Mr. Wilson Barrett, who will reopen the theater in the autumn with “The Sign of the Cross,”’ to be followed by “Hamlet” and ‘Phe Silver King.” Richard Mansfield has purchased the American rights of “Chand (Marchand) de Habits,” which he proposes to play prac- tically as it was given in Paris, although he will transpose the period so as to use modern dress. He will himself be _ the Chand de Habits (Old Clothesman) of the title. Sig. Nicolini, the husband of Adelina Patti, continues sertously ill.

June 12.—The work of re- moving the big bronge etatue of Chrieto- pher Columbus, which was erected on the lake front during the World's Columbian Exposition, was begun to-day. The con- verting of the lake front into a park has progressed so far that the statue now stands in a basin and its removal was made necessary. If the statue is replaced it will not be in the same position it now occupies. It has been regarded by many as more of an eye-sore than an ornament and it may be the city junk p'‘le, to which the etatute has been temporarily con- signed, will be its final resting place.

Some Refer to One and Some to the Other, but All Say Business Is Bad. Special to the Post-Dispateb. NBW YORK, June 12.—New York mer- chants ehouted against free silver and pa- raded the streets for McKinley last fall. To-day they are engaged in a struggle for life, figuratively speaking, pending the ar- rival of the much-heralded arrival of busi- ness. Five of the big retallers in interviews to-day express their views on the condi- tion of trade. Mr. 8. W. Ehrich ef Ehrich Bros. says: There is absolutely no question of the hard times. Our volume of trade is larger than it ever was, but the amounts of tndividuas purchases are exceedingly small. People are we aoe | from hand to mouth. I think every word Mr. Wanamaker uttered was the exact truth. Times will not improve at all until we get the tarif! question absolutely settled. And the very next thing we wil have to get at and settle is that currency question. Speedy improvement immediately upon the determination of the tariff issues need not be looked for. We will get no benefit any way, before next fall, erchants are ali at sea now. We do not know what to import because we do not know what the tariff changes are going to be. Our house has not sent any buyers abroad yet. Gen- erally we ‘have our buyers abroad in the latter part of May. si In the jmaposition of a tariff I believe each obstacle should be considered indi- vidua gy. Take linens, for instance. are not manufactured in this country, an I do not see why we should put a high tariff! on them. Domestic manufacturers should be protected; yes, but not to the ex- tent of ing thousands suffer that a few men m be made rich. If a tariff? were put on \judiciously, just eufficient to pro- tect, and impose a heavy rden on the think it would work all right, ai I believe, ie the sentiment ° most) of the large merchants. by G.

The tendency to economize is unl- versal. In the matter of tariff legislation, wh it’s disposed of I am quite sure we shou have prosperous times again and when | is settled my preference would be toward ample protection for American manufac- turers. W.' Crawford, of Simpson, Crawford Simpson, sayé: “We have not been troub! with hard times much, There is nq ques- tion at all but times would be better if we knew where we belonged, if this tariff bill was settled, and the currency fixed, and other things done that the Republican ed usa.

MYSTERY OF C. BR. HANSON’S SUI- SIDE SOLVED. HIS SECOND WIFE’S STORY. She Questioned Him and He Confessed, Then He Took the Fatal Dose. Facts are coming to ight which show that C. R. Hanson, once of the Bankers’ Loan Company, with an office in the Union Trust, Co.'s building, who swallowed hydro- cyanic acid at a hotel In Mexico, Mo., May 31, had more than a crazy motive for self- destruction. It was thought that pecuniary troubles impelled him to lie down by his wife's side, swallow the deadly drug and die in her arms. Much sympathy went out to the family. Much more now goes out to the deluded wife, who has learned that she was no wife, but only the victim of a biga- mist. Mrs Hanson is now in St. Louls at the home of E. J. Marshall, secretary of the Bank Savings Co., on Cleveland avenue. She is heartbroken, but her friends try to make her fee] that she is at least relieved of one burden. It seems from her statement and that of her friends that the other wife, who had shar years Of married life with Hanson, lives in Chicago. There was one child of this unioh. Hanson abandoned them five years ago. While ms 4 for an Eastern Mfe insurance company he sud- denly disappeared. He wrote to Mrs. Han- son No. 1 that he had been assigned to new territory. He never returned, and later this wife learned that her faithless spouse had married Miss Minnie Crawford at Weyesville, Wis. All track of him was then lost until the news of ~ suicide was tel- egraphed from Mexico 0. No suspicion entered the mind of the younger wife during the first four years of wedded life. The couple were devoted, a baby was born to them, and it appears that the man’s remorse for his own guilt was the only shadow in their lives. Mrs. Hanson says she was wholly igno- rant of her husband's porney until a short time ago, when the facts of his first mar- riage reached her. Almost crushed she ap- peailed to nim, IMF oh he would deny the accusation and —_ his innocence. ut to her grief he admitted the truth, ‘and then she resolved to leave him Yet she faltered - og 4 of her child, because she st oO Then came the Mexico t edy, and now the woman is helpless and alone. She says sadly: “He leaves no prageey interests or insurance that I know o would have kept his secret to the last had I not felt ft yo by to rev he facts to protect as y, own name and the birth- a. ! tot my child.

He informed his Pw e that he had been assigned to a new territory. This was the last the family ever heard of him until it was learned that he had married again at Weyesville, Wis., to Miss Minnée Craw- ford. ‘Hanson confessed to the Mexico wid- ow before he took his life. A score of years ago Hanson worked for the Mutual Benefit Life Association of Illi- nois as general agent. He lived in Chicago with a wife and five boys. He accumulated money which, it is said, he lost on the Chi- cago Board of Trade. SHE WORE KNICKERBOCKERS. And Her Snow’ White Wheel Collided With a Contractor. A young woman, wearing black eatin knickerbockers, a modern-sleéved waist with a spacious bust measure, slid down Lucas avenue on a pure white bicycle last night. At Garrison avenue, John H, Toney, a contractor, living ‘at 416 Garfield avenue, was crossing Lucas avenue The young woman on the white bicycle rang a bell. It frightened Toney and he stood still. The asphal pavement was elip- pery from a visit of a sprinkling wagon. The fair bicyclist was unable to turn or stop her wheel. The front wheel of the bicycle struck the contractor where his mother landed on him when he was a boy. Mr. Toney mopped up Lucas avenue with a new suit of clothes and a bieck farther down the lady with the knickerbockers turned around and amiled, Mr. Toney, reported the tncident at the Seventh District Police Station and fre- quested that the female bicyclist be ar- rested. The police are looking for a young woman in black satin kn'ckerbockers. TORCHES ON WHEELS. Bicyclists Use Them in Forest Park and Frighten Teams.

Probably the most ingenious application of the carrier pigeon is made by a member of the New York Stock Exchange, Mr. Al- fred de Cordova. His country house is forty miles from New York and several miles from the telegraph station. He frequently found that telegraphs sent to him from the city were, perhaps, a couple of hours in De cage him, by reason of the long distance which the messenger had to travel. He had for some time, says the Pittsburg Dispatch been keeping carrier pigeons as pets, and he now determined to put them to practical use. He trained two flocks in the usual way by sragually increasing the distance from which they had to fly to reach him. One of these flocks lhves in his New York office and the other in a large house on his es- tate, Regularly every morning a basket full of the latter is sent to New York, and the birds which live in New York are forwarded to the country. At regular intervals during the day, when he does not go to business, one of these trusty messengers is sent to him; carrying the latest intelligence of the business world, and so accurate and so un- erring are these little birds that they have invariably delivered their message within an hour of the time that it has been in- trusted to their safe keeping. If, on the other hand, Mr. de Cordova wishes to com. municate with New York, he sends one of the birds whose home is situated there with his message. In this way he has repeatedly ordered certain stocks to be bought, re- ceived the news of their parchase and price and given orders for their sale. On one occasion one of these carrier pig- eons made for its owner over $5,000 in the following manner: Mr. de Cordova was fishing at the island of Cuttyhunk, a tiny speck in the ocean own by a party of entlemen, and situated some forty miles rom Boston, with which city only once a day is there any connection, and this is by means of a steam launch which brings the letters and returns with the answers. stock, and his confidential clerk had sent of ita movements, u which KH was neces- sary that his employer should act with- out ~~ * arrived he was out in a fishi t, and he did not return to the island until after the boat had left on its homeward journey. Although among Cuttyhunk’s owners were several millionaires who own steam and eailing yachts, not a single craft was in the iittle harbor, and no could poe have been trusted in the roughening se8 to live to reach the mainiand. It happened by chance that Mr. de Cor- dova had not sent back to his country house. all the carrier pigeons. he had brought with him for the _ of amus- ing himself and lettin is how he was enjoyin tary bird was stiji le depended everything.

On the opening of «the stock market the instructions were carried out, re | sulted in the very pretty profit of $6,000 for the gentieman whose fancy led him to these pets.

OLD PLAY HAS CREATED. ’ KNOWN AS “UNCLE TOMMERS.” They Do Not Know How to Act in Any Other Play—How It Has Been Transformed. “The ‘Uncle Tom’ business,” said the eran manager, to a New York Sun re- porter, “has been so overdone that ft surprise almost anybody to know the tricks of that particular trade. There has come to be a certain class of actors known generally as ‘Uncle Tommers,’ and they can be hired at very small salaries t play three or four parts in the piece. For | $15 a week a woman can be engaged to play Eliza, Mrs. St. Clair, and the part of one of the negresses, and for about tie same price the rest of the actors can be had, There are regular families of Uncle mers, with the child to play Little A and the other child's part occasionally in- troduced into versiong of the play. ere are just as many combinations to be made among the men, and what is technically known as doubling up is a very mat- er in the companies playing old a know all the lines spoken in the pla they are able to step in and do any ‘tha happens to vacant. I have seen whole play—that is, so far as the charac- ters go—given by five people, with the negro singers as the most expensive feature in the company. I know of a man and his wite who were for fifteen years in various ‘Uncle Tom’ companies. They bad of cou in that time, every part piece, and one of their children tle Bva from the time she was until she was 17.

The actors in the cheap theaters of the larger cities within recent years have been insig- nificant features of the performance com- pared with the donkeys, dogs and ro singers. But they are marvels com to the compames that trayel over the countr giving their performances in the towns—places of not more than three’ or four thousand people That was the feld of the genuine Uncle Tommers, the ectors who for years had confined themselves to this one play. They usually acted in it winter and summer, year in and year out, but theirs was one case in which excel in a speciality did not bring them any great reward. “As I sald, their salaries were very small, and the Uncle Tommers were the cheapest people in the business. They are growing scarcer now, and the diminufion their numbers has not served to increase fhe compensation paid for their services. There is no great demand for the old piece now compared to that which existed some years ago, so a new generation of these actors has not grows up to succeed the old, There is no likelihood, either, that the Uncle Tom- mer, that unique development of theatrical conditions of two or three decades ago, will ever with us again. “There was permanence then in other than the mere ‘ariistic’—if the word can stand the sirain—side of the ‘Uncle Ne of former years.

FT DEATH ON THE SEA. ARCHBISHOP JANSSENS OF NEW ORLEANS IS NO MORE. HAD STARTED TO EUROPE. Where He Hoped to Visit His Old Home and Close Up Somé Church Business. NEW ORLEANS, June 12.—News reached the city this morning of the death of Arch- bishop Francis Janssens of the See of New Orleans, on Thursday morning at 6:30 o’clock, on board the Cromwell Line steam- er Creole, 380 miles from Port Eads. Arch- bishop Janssens had been in bad health for the past year or so, but his condition had become aggravated during the past three or four months. While a priest at Richmond he suffered from heart trouble and was gent to his home in Holland to die, but he recov- ered and returned to this country in better health than ever. Since he has been in charge of the See of New Orleans, having been appointed July 12, 1888, he has labored very. hard, He found the See over $600,000 In debt, part of which was a bonded debt of $300,000, most of which was held in Paris. He labored unremittingly to reduce this, at- tending to the minutest details himself, and the result was his health gave way again. He was also afflicted with gastric troubles which aggravated his suffer'ngs. He went to the watering places near New Orleans, but gained no relief, and finally about a week ago determined to go back to his home in Holland for a few months rest. This, however, was not the main object of his visit to Europe. He-intended to visit Paris and consult tne holders of the bonds of the See and meke some kind of a com- promise with them, and was confident of successfully accomplishing it. He left on ARCHBISHOP FRANCIS JANSSENS. the Creole Wednesday morning but the ex- citement attendant on his departure fa- tigued him very much. He was accom- panied by Rev. Joseph Thebault, the Chan- cellor of the diocese, who was his constant companion. He complained of illness throughout the day and retired about half past seven o'clock. Half an hour later he sent for the Chancellor and told him he Was going to die. He suffered al! night until about 5 o'clock in the morning, hav- ing two fainting spduis in the meantime. Then he asked the CHancellor to hear his confession. Immediately afterwards he fell off into a faint and remained uncon- ecious for ten or fifteen minutes. He then grew cold and pleaded to have his extrem!- ties rubbed, About 6:45 he realized that the end was near, and asked the Chancellor to admin- ister the last sacramen which was done. Hie prayed and then asked for an indulgence for a happy death, and, after a few mo- ments, asked to be lifted out of his berth eo he could kneel. His was complied with, and even the imost cold in side, lifted his e a said: ; Shanks be to Goa" His baie oren “ve his chest and he was un lifted into the berth, oa eae eos s dead. The Chancellor began making ments for the transfer of the bod rat Key West, where the captain promised to stop if no boat was sighted.

One of the Oldest Physicians in St. Louis Dying in the City Hospital. Dr. Victor S. Jourdan, one of the oldest and best known St. Louls physicians, fell down the stairs at his office, 110 North Sev- enth street, yesterday evening and received injuries that. will probably prove fatal. Dr. Jourdan is 73 years old and has prac- ticed his profession in St. Louis for nearly half a century." He lives with his wife and two sons at 2328% Walnut street. For some time the doctor has been troubled with heart disease. At 7 o’clock last night, after having made a numbers of visits, hé walked up the stairs at his» office. When he reached the landing at the top he tottered and fell backward. His head struck one of the fron steps and his skull was fractured. He was picked up at the bottom of the stairs unconscious. An ambulance was called and he was removed to the City Hospital. Superintendent Sutter said his skull was badly fractured and that he was buffering from concussion of the brain. The skull was trephined. Dr. Sutter said the injuy was serious and would in all prob- ability prove fatal, because of the patient’s advanced age. Dr. Jourdan was born in Paris, France. When 12 years old his parents came to America and located in St. Louis. They were wealthy. It was decided to educate him for the medical profession and he was sent to France, where he graduated from | a medical college in Paris. He returned to St. Louls and at once entered upon the practice of his profession. A SEVERE SHAKE. An Earthquake in India Does Serious Damage. CALCUTTA, June 12.—A severe earth- quake shock, lasting some seconds, was felt here at 5 o’clock this afternoon. The shock extended to Howrak, across the Hoogly River, where serious damage was done. Several buildings collapsed, some lives were lost and a number of persons more or lesg seriously injured. In this city, although a number of build- ing were cracked, there was no serious damage done, The shock was the severest on record and lasted altogether five minutes. In parts of the city few of the houses escaped. Some were simply damaged while others are in ruins. Fifteen feet of the spire of the Ca- thedral has fallen and the spires of a num- ber of other churches collapsed. The town hall, the high court and a number of other public buildings, are badly damaged. Eight natives were killed and many others were injured. . The shock occurred just before the even- ing drive. The people rushed from their houses en masse, many of them but half dressed, Serious damage is reported from Hoogly and Burdwan. KANSAS BOODLE INQUIRY.

AND SLIGHTS PUT UPON OTHER ENGLISH STATESMEN. ARE NOT IN THE JUBILEE. An Extraordinary Tale of Illicit Love and Murder From Bulgaria —London Gossip. LONDON, June 12.—Tlre. past week has seen the arrival of numerous military de- tachments from the colonies to take part in the Queen’s jubilee festivities. A special body of Maori police are the latest arrivals, They reached here yesterday evening from New Zealand, and composed an ode to the Queen while on theirs way here. They hope to chant it before Her Majesty and expect her to join in it. Colonial troops are now to be met on every side. They are general- ly men of fine physique, wearing smart uniforms and are very popular everywhere, The official programme of the procession as published has given umbrage to the Liberals, owing to the utter absence of rec- ognition of the civil and industrial side of the Queen’s reign. The Daily Chronicle is very outspoken on the subject, especially at the omitting of Mr. Gladstone, and asks: “What kind of a show is,it that gives a gromiment play to the soldiers of Hmperor ‘illiam and to the ragresentatives of Turk- ish barbarism and exciudes the greatest liv- ing | English speaking statesmen of the age?’’ Continuing the Chronicle remarks: “The Victorian era is conspicuous above all in the progress of labor and the steady rowth of self government. Yet the work- ng classes are ignored. A still more strik- ing fact is that the presiding officers of the two Houses of Parilament are not recog- nized. The Speaker's office is centuries old. He is the first commoner in England, pre- sides over the most famous representative institution, and is the figurehead of demo- cratic government; yet he has no place in the procession. What will the Colonials, whd are wedded to pure democracy, think of this?’’ In conclusion the Chronicle says: “If the crown has done something for the country, it is also true that the country has done much for the crown, for its own prog- ress and for the general cause of human welfare.’’ An, extraordinary murder story comes from Phillipopolis, Bulgaria, where a Cap- tain Boitcheff, a Prefect of Police, and a gendarme have been arrested on the ere of murdering Anna Simon, a beautiful pub- lic singer and the mistress of the Captain. The latter, it appears, became tired of Anna and determined to get rid of her. With the aid of the prefect and the Captain’s brother, she was chloroformed and taken in a cab to the banks of the Maritza River, where a gendarme was in waiting. The latter then threw her into thé water: The Prefect of Police has confessed. He says he was told by Capt. Boitcheff that Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria had ordered the woman to be killed. In connection with this declaration, it is pointed out that the accomplice of the Captain was a court gendarme of the Prince’s palace. Capt. Boitcheff was one of the cadets who assisted in. kidnapping Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, driving the carriage in which the latter was transported to the coast. Prince Ferdinand, when he succeeded Prince Alexander took a fancy to Boitcheff, had him educated and attached him to the suite of Princess Maria Louise, with the rank of Prince’s Adjutants Boit- cheff’s liaison with Anna Simon was known to mAh fee | in society. a Boitcheff made a rich marriage recently, when the liaison with the unfortunate singer was much talked of. Princess Adelaide, widow of the First Dom Miguel of Bragansa, the former head | of the royal family of Portugal, is to take the black vell to-morrow, when she will be received as a professed choir nun at the benediction Abbey of St. Cecilia of Salesmes. She is the mother of the present Duke of Bragansa and her six beautiful daughters have all made brilliant matehes, one as the wife of the late Archduke Charles Louise of Austria, expected to be Empress of Austria. Another married the brother of the Empress of Austria, who is an accom- lished oculist, and assisted by his wife, reats eye disease gratis. Princess Adelaide has been a novice in the abbey mentioned since June 3 189i, and was herself a famous-beauty.

During the interview Mr. Fos- ter, asked as to the propositions he was to lay before the Rugsian Govefnment, re- plied that he would not know until he got to St. Petersburg. Mr. Foster was informed by Mr. Liebes that his going to Russia and any arrange- ments he might make would not be binding upon England, as Great Britain, so far as he could learn, wotld do nothing in the matter until the five years specified by the Paris Award had expired. The Canadians, moreover, said Mr. Liebes, although they made no money over .the business, would not be satisfied to give in unless they got compensation.

NEW YORK, June 13.—James Creelman, in the Journal this morning, has the fol- lowing: COLUMBUS, O., June 12.—No wonder Mr. Hanna is startled by the reports he is get- ting from every part of Ohio. Nothing but a war or a threat of war can prevent the State from going Democratic, The further I go the more frightful is the evidence of suffering and despair that meets my eyes. Great multitudes are abandoning the Re- publican party. That is evident to the most casual onlooker. Never in the his- tory of the State has there been such & collapse of business, such a wreck of homes. Look at the figures, which show the steady march of misery since McKin- ley’s election. I did not support Mr. Bryan for the Presidency, nor did I advocate free silver as a cure for our industrial and commercial troubles. I can therefore present the rec- ord of the Republican Administration with some right to be r rded as an entirely fair witness. Take Franklin County for instance, in which the capital of Ohio 1s situated.

GOV. PINGREE TALKS RIGHT OUT. WHEN HE DISCUSSES THE ILLI- NOIS BOODLE BILLS. ACTION, NOT TALK, NEEDED. The Responsibility for Corrupt Legis- lation Should Be Put Where It Belongs. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LANSING, Mich., June 12.—Governor Pingree hag taken a lively interest in the Yerkes and Allen street railway bills, which have caused so much excitement in Illinois. He is thoroughly disgusted with the action of the Legisjature and Governor Tanner, and in discussing this matter to- day, said: ‘There has been some criticism and justly too, on the recent Michigan Legislature, but even the worst men in our State Senate are mere children besides the Illinols fel- lows who passed the Allen Street Railway bill the other day. The bill surrenders the city to Yerkes and his crowd for years to come, Think of Governor Tanner sign- ing such a bill. It is one of the most dis- graceful acts in the history of our Ameri- can government, *“‘Now, who shall be blamed for such dis- graceful legislation? “I ¢ell ‘you it is as Alderman Harlan says. We ought to place responsibility for the boodling Legislatures right where it belongs, on what we call leading citizens, ‘Professional citizens,’ as he calls them. It is certainly a lamentable condition of things when notorious boodlers are taken into what is called the best society, ionized by what are known as thé respectable ele- ment, the element whose brains and money ought to be used to accomplish better ends than in inducing .corrupt legislatures to sell the rights of the people. “If this were a matter of abstract dis- cussion it would be of little consequence but in the city of Chicago thousands o people are suffering for the-wrdinarg ne- cessities of life, while those who are sup- posed to protect their interests are selling them out as heartlessly as though human liberty and life were a mere conrmodity. “IT tell you that it won’t do to sit down and try to gloss over these things. Cam- paign speeches and Fourth of July orations will never replace the millions that corrupt legislatures have taken from the pockets of the people and handed over to corpo- rate highwaymen. To-day we need some- thing more than talk. We need plain, vig- orous action. I know that men, are called Anarchists for pointing out these condi- tions, but let me say this to you: The best patriots are not the men who are blind to abuses such as those practiced by the Illinois Governor and Legislature. The men who have the country’s interests at heart are those who see these abuses and, seeing them, try to apply the proper reme- dy. believe that if all patriotic citizens would do this such disgraceful legislation as that recently enacted in Illinois would be outside the range of the possibilities.

Watts, a delicate little woman, 23 years of age, is dying at the police station from the effects of carbolic acid, swallowed with suicidal intent. The case is a tragic one. Mrs. Watts was married tn Wichita when she was 16. Several months ago her husband deserted her and since then she has been trying to gupport two little children by doing serv- ant’s work. Her husband lost his situation with the Badger Lumber Co., descended to tending bar and consorted with another woman. This afternoon, Mrs. Watts, who has been living with her mother on East Sixth street wrote a letter to her husband askin that he take care of the children properly and not let his paramour get hold of the — girl. Then she swallowed the acid an taking the children by the hand started for the Boston House, not far distant, where Watts was in a room with the woman. She fell in convulsions on the street.

SPECIAL TAX DISAPPEARED. Money Gathered for a Specific Purpose Disbursed as Other Gen- eral Revenue. The people of Belleville are whistling for @ municipal electric light plant. They have cheerfully paid a special tax for the purpose and believed they were to get it this year. The special tax, equal to $8,000 a year, was to have been set aside as a sinking fund for the plant. The sinking fund ex- ists only on paper. The funds have sunk out of sight. In 1895 the City Council of the town de- cided a municipal electric light plant was the real thing. They figured it out that by utting $8,000 a baa into a sinking fund hey would be able to begin work on the age in 1897 and have it entirely paid for n . Provision was made in the appropriation bill that year for the $8,000 sinking fund and a special tax was assessed to raise the money. In 189, the $8,000 was again eet aside with due solemnity. That is, ![t was supposed to be set aside. In fact, though, it never was. The $16,000 was spent for other purposes. Instead' of stopping when the general funds were exhausted, the Council had gone right ahead and passed ordinances authoriz'ng expenditures as long as there was acent in sight. The sinking fund was used up and money borrowed from the banks. At the last Council meeting the appro- eg 7 bill for 1897 was up for cons‘dera- lon. It called for $110,000, including anoth- er $8,000 installment of the sinking fund. Alderman Fredericks, who wants a mun!- cipal plant badly, got up and made a great “roar.’””’ He wanted.to know what had be- come of the $16,000 already ‘“‘sunk.’”’” He was told what he already knew, that it had been used to meet the current expenses. He demanded to know if it was going to be restored from the revenug@ now coming in. Mayor Winkler and several of the Al- dermen opposed this being done, claimin it would leave the city in an impoverishe condition. Mr. Fredericks then moved the provision be stricken out. The vote wasatie. Mayor Winkler cast the deciding vote in favor of the proposition. That leaves the city with no sinking fund and no prospect of an electric light plant. The people are out $16,000 in special taxes and the officials of the private corporation which is now furnishing the city with light at a fat price are feeling quite joy- u l. - Ex-Mayor Sunkel, during whose term of office the sinking fund was “established,” Bays it was never the intention to let the money lie idle until a sufficient amount was available for building the plant. He holds there is enough money in the treas- ury now to make up the deficit in the sink- ing fund and that’ the Counch has the power to direct that $16,000 be devoted to the purposes intended when the sinking fund Was created. Mayor Winkler does not agree with his predecessor at all. He says it !s preposter- ous to expect the present administration to wh go itself by restoring the funds de-: pleted by the preceding one. He would be willing to appropriate $8,000, which should legitimately come out of the 1897 revenues, but he is not willing t& appropriate $16,000, which should have been held sacred by the preceding administration. City Clerk F. W. Purderer says if the 6,000 is replaced, the city will simply ave to borrow that much money to keep the municipal machinery running another wr. —, says: “There is now in the City Treasur 10,000. From the County Treasurer $15,000 it soon be received. That makes $25,000.

The fifteenth annual picnic of the whole- sale grocery trade was held at Upper Creve Coeur Lake yesterday. It was a stag affair, and the attendance was confined to whole- sale grocers, merchandise brokers and + . manufacturers eelling goods to the trade, and to employes of these concerns and a few invited guests. The party left the Union Station at 8 a. m., with about 800 jolly grocers on board. The fun began on the train, but was not at its full height until the grounds were reached, when the red lemonade barrels were opened up and the crowd invited to helf itself. The invita- tion was promptly accepted. The Amusement Committee got the ath- letic grounds in shape for the events, and the battle of grocery brawn began. here were thirteen events on the programme, and some of them were funny. The list is appended: One hundred yards free-for-all, throwing hoops by brokers, grocers’ street buyers’ double shuffle, tempi house-buyers’ spoon and egg race ill clerks, assistant okkeepers an brokers’ employes’ potato race; bookkeepers, credit and office men’s marble game; free- for-all obstacle race, proprietors’ hat-kick- ing contest, street salesmen’s silver argu- ment, shipping clerks’ lumber agitation, commercial tourists’ guessing contest, pro- prietors’ guessing contest, proprietors’ nig- ger-baby contest. The events were all interesting, and there was a continual howl of eee cage) over many of the contests, particularly those in which the prepteee took part. e prizes, some of which were very valuable, were all donated. There were five prizes to eacn event. A fine dinner was served to the picnickers at 1p. m. The return trip wag made at 8 o’clock. NORMAL COURSE WILL BE ABOLISHED. RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE INSTRUCTION COMMITTEE. CONTRACTS FOR SUPPLIES. Numerous Employes Have Their Pri- vate Opinions About the Secret- ive New Board. The new School Board has already struck terror to the hearts of principals, teachers and employes. Especially around the Board of Education building rests an atmosphere of distrust and suspicion. “T intend to resign,”’ said one of the oldest employes to a Post-Dispatch reporter yes- terday. “Why? was asked. ‘“‘What has the new board done to you?’’ ; “Cut my salary straight through the mid- dle. That’s what. Think I haven’t any self-respect? Think I have given the best years of my life to this service, to be con- fronted at last by such a board as this and not resent its effrontery? I guess not.’’ Another employe, quite as communica- tive and just as competent a judge, said: “IT never saw such kinks as this new board takes in itself. Many a board has come and gone since I entered public em- ployment, but for downr'ight nerve, the di- rectors now on deck are entitled to blue ribbons,” “What is the matter with them?’ gently asked. “Well, they are a lot of bank directors, meeting daily behind closed doors and transacting the public’s business in the most secretive fashion. Ask one of them what was done in committee, and he will look so shocked, so pained and hurt, that you will immediately crave pardon for your horrible presumption. They dash in here and dash out again in the most mysterious and overwhelming fashion, and you can gea no inkling of what they are doing. *‘But they will pause long enough to see a delegation from the Steenth Ward, if it is sufficiently numerous to constitute a real delegation. Individual citizens are little drops of rain water at the end of a spout, If it wasn't for Mr. Coste and Mr. Ford you newspaper fellows would get the eyes Scooped off of you every hour.”’ And with that the young gentleman banged down the top of h's desk and tripped out to the races. : The Supply Committee met yesterday morning and contracted for general sup- plies as follows: > Patterson Stationery Co’, crayons, and contract for blocking flat writing paper; Levison & Blythe, mucilage; St. Louis News Co., slate pencils, paper files, inkstands, thermometers, manilla envelopes and black- board erasers; Thorner & Schulenberg, sal soda; Simmons Hardware Co., tincup dip- pers and coal hods; Buxton & Skinner Stationery Co., printing pay roll manuals and furnishing covers; r, O’ Brien orinting reports of board meetings; Fred aehr, clock repairs; Meinburg & Co., blotting paper and envelopes. The Secretary was directed to advertise for supplies for the kindergarten depart- ment, which had been heretofore purchased without competition. The Committee on Instruction of the Board of Education met Saturday after- noon and adopted a resolution recommend- ing that the normal course at the High School be closed to applicants after Sep- tember, 1898. similar resolution has been introduced annually for three or four ears, but has never been approved by the oard. The committee, however, believes it will pass this time. There are, at present, upward of six hundred teachers on the wait- ing list, The remainder of the session was devoted to routine work and the adoption of rules for government of the Department of Instruction. here were no radical changes in the rules, Supt. Soldan was made permanent Secre- tary of the committee.

THE OWNER IS ASKED TO PAY. This He Declines to Do and Has In- stituted Replevin Proceedings to Recover His Wheel. Clyde Carson is employed in the Circuit Clerk’s Office. He knows how to ride a wheel, and he also knows something about replevin laws, A few days ago somebody stole Clyde’s wheel. He reported the theft to the police. Detectives said the wheel could not be found. At least a search of second-hand stores and pawn shops failed to locate it. By mere accident the owner of the wheel found it himself. He saw a young man rid- ing it in one of the parks. He accosted the rider and identified the wheel. The young man said he bought the “bike” from a secondhand dealer, which he prob- ably did. He readily gave his name and address. This information was conveyed to the detectives. They recovered the wheel. Carson was notified by telephone that he would have to reimburse the purchaser to the extent of $5 before he could get his arene. He rebelled against this propo- sition. Determined not to pay for his own prop- erty, already once paid for, he instituted replevin proceedings in Justice Harmon’s court yesterday. A test case will be made. The result will be watched with much in- terest by St. Louis people in general, for the reason that similar cases are frequent, Only a few days ago a young woman on Franklin avenue had to pay $20 to recover a typewriter that was stolen from her. Stolen property is always sold or pawned. That is why the thief steals. The second- hand dealer or pawn-broker who accepts the goods always poses as an innocent pur- chaser. Whenever the victim of the thief will stand it, payment must be made before the property can be recovered. The plucky young Casson proposes to see what virtue there is in replevin.

The Monthly Report Shows a Great In- crease in the Number of Books Issued. The Board of Directors of the St. Louis Public Library are after people who keep books beyond the time allowed or who on returning them refuse to pay the fines as- sessed. At the meeting of the board yesterday af- ternoon several cases of delinquency which had been referred to the City Attorney were up for discussion by the Administra- tion Committee. It was found that in one case the City Marshal had refused to exe- cute a judgment obtained in court, and that in other cases he had failed to serve notice on delinquents. The committee de- cided to employ an attorney and ‘hereafter all delinquents will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. ° The remainder of the session was chiefly occupied in receiving reports from the standing committees. The establishment of a new delivery station at Andreas’ drug store, Grand avenue and Shenandoah street, was reported by the Administration Com- mittee. The addition of nearly 5,000 volumes to the library during March, April and May was reported by the Book Committee. More than half of these were children’s books, and a special appropriation of $2,000 was asked for, in order to supply suitable books for children in the first four grades in the Public Schools. The Superintendent of Public Schools and a number of the teachers are interested in the plan of fur- nishing attractive books to the pupils in these grades, and have promised their co- operation, thinking the added interest will conduce to more rapid advance in learning to read. The list of donations and showed that 640 volumes and 1,769 pamphlets have been acquired in this way during the last three months. One of the most val- uable gifts was a scrapbook of Ira Devoll containing the records of the School Boar in 1857 and 1859, presented the Commissioner of Education Dr. ; Harris. One result of the large increase in the circulation is shown by the number of books requiring re-binding and mending. Nearly 3, volumes having been sent to the bindery and nearly 5,000 repaired in the library. A remarkable increase in the issue was shown by the reports of that department the May issue of 73,830 being 40 per cent arger than that of the same month in 1896. Nine hundred and forty-seven new members of the library were registered last month, making a total membership of 52,423 exchanges ALTON NEWS. Gen. John C.

HE GAVE HER THE POST-OFFICE. Then Miss Rodman Married Col. Black and She May Get for Him a Foreign Mission. ait. .s In this busy age it is seldom that an active political fighter finds time for ro- mance. But exceptions will happen occa- stonally. Here is the story of an exception. Col. Joseph E, Black, Jr.. of Richmond, Mo., is a politician of more than local prominence in the Republican ranks. He is also one of the principals In a pretty little romance—a strictly political romance, too. Col. Black was a St. Louls visitor yester- flay. With him came a bride. The wedding occurred at Richmond early in May. Col. and Mrs. Black Jeft at once on an ex- tended tour in the East. When in St. Louis yesterday they were on their way back to Richmond, having arrived here from Washington City. Mrs. Black was formerly Miss Mollie Rodman. How Miss Rodman happened to become Mrs, Black is the feature of this. story. Col. Joe Black knew Miss Rodman when she was a wee bit of a school Miss. Asa little girl, she was pretty. As a young wom- an, she was charming. At least that is the opinion entertained by Col. Black. For several years they were ac- quaintances. Admiration was mutual. Miss Rodman, unwilling to be d dependent little creature, set out early in life to be self-sup- porting. There was surprise in the aris- tocratic old town of Richmond one day when Mollie Rodman announced herself a candidate for the postoffice—a place that pays an annual agg, of $2,000. This was soon after Benjamin Harrison was elected President. The villagers gossiped and said a woman would never be appointed to such an im- portant post-office as Richmond. Miss Rod- man was universally’ popular, but the idea of a woman Postmaster! Rich- mondites as something 4 There were mér ‘cand! and the contest’ wag growing warm. One afternoon Col, Black called to see Miss Rodman. He suggested he would be glad to do whatever he could to assist her in her candidacy. Of coursé the offer was ac- cepted. Col. Black indorsed Miss _ Rod- man’s application, That he had influence with the President is demonstrated by the fact that Miss Rodman’s appointment came speedily after she had been recommended by Col. Black. For four years she was in charge of the Richmond Post-office. During all of that time, Col. Black had no “kick” to register. He was evidently pleased with the postal facilities. He was frequently a caller at Miss Rodman’s home. A courtship start- ed. When Grover Cleveland succeeded Benjamin Harrigon as President, he made another appointment for the Richmond Post-office. Miss Rodman was out. ° Meanwhile she eaw Col. Black at fre- quent intervals. The culminating point of the'r courtship came with the advent of spring. They were married—pooled their political influence, if you please. So strong is the: political instinct of Col. and Mrs. Black that even on their wedding tour they could not entirely cast politice aside. The greater part of their honey- moon was epent at the national capital. Mrs. Black remembers. that she owes Col. Black a political debt.8 Through his in- fluence she secured the Richmond post of- fice. Political débtse must be paid. Mrs. Black went to Washington with the Colonel to help him secure appointment to a for- eign mission. That is the kind of a place the political gossips say he is seeking. If he isn’t gent abroad as a representatve of the United States Government, he will probably get “‘something equally as good’’ at home. That is what the McKinley Ad- ministration has offered as solace to Maj. John L. Bittinger and other prominent Missour! Republicans, who have political aspirations. In fact, Col. Black fs said positively to be slated for a lucrative Government berth, ont ayy what it will be has not been made public, The Blacks left for their home at Rich- mond yesterday. Another trip will prob- ably be made to Washington soon. “Joe’’ Black, as he is familiarly Known throughout Northern Missouri, is the possessor of reat personal influence. hose who now him best say. the worst trait about him is his politics.

Only Such Will Be Treated Until Cured at the Low Fees Which Have So Long Sustained--Raising the Fees the Only Practical Way of , Been the Strain Upon the Offices Caused by the Influx of Patients To Be of Deafness. For a number of years Doctor Copeland | and hie associates in practice have given the people their services at fees 80 low that they could not even be called nomi- nal. Since the discovery of the cure for Deafness the influx of patients from all over the country has been so great as to almost exhaust the facilities of their of- fices and laboratories. The work can not be kept up in this way without largely in- creased facilities, which it is inexpedient to supply. The only practical way of reliev- ing the strain will be followed—as has been already stated in letters to former patients —the fees will be raised to reduce the num.- ber of patients. In doing this Doctor Copeland feels it just and courteous to give adequate notice to the thousands of patients who have during the past years been treated at these offices at low fees; to give adequate notice that every patfent who has ever been treated at these offices will be taken and treated under the new methods which have awakened the attention of the scientific world, at the fees originally paid, providing they renew before July 1. This means that every patient who has taken treatment and stopped for any reason whatever may com- mence again at the original fees during this »Sresent month and obtain the benefit of the new and wonderful treatment that has thrilled the world with its record of cures. It also means that any who have been for a long time contemplating taking treatment may have the advantage of the low fees, providing their treatment is commenced be- fore July 1. This is the notice: The low fees which have been given during the Copeland practice in St. Louis will only apply cto those begin- ning or renewing treatment during this month. The books will be closed July 1. Only those patients applying for or renewing treatment tefore that date will be entitled to the low fees.

LOUIS LIME KILN CLUB MEMBERS ALL “HOBOES.” A Strange Society of Social Outcasts and, Its Queer Initiation Ceremonies. When it comes to realism, Brother Gard- ner and his Lime Kiln Club are not in it with St. Louis. There is in the very heart of the city the real article—a bona fide Lime Kiln Club—with a membership exceeding one hundred and fifty hoboes. This club has its headquarters, including bar attachment, kitchen, restaurant and sleeping apartments. ‘As a matter of course the above accommo- dations are not as elaborate as at the St. Louis club, nevertheless the members enjoy their privileges immensely and at a very moderajfe expense. The hoboes call the institution the ‘‘White Men's Lime Kiln Club;” it is located at 107 South Seventh street in the rear of Julius G. Ockel’s saloon. Mr. Ockel is not a mem- ber, because he refused to be initiated; he is satisfied, however with his functions of stewart, maitre d’hotel,” “chef,” “head mixer,”’ etc., etc., with the enoluments at- tached thereto, and although he has no star shining on his breast, he is something of a policeman also.

A Post-Dis- pues representative was fortunate enough o be present without invitation at a meet- ing held last Wednesday. It is useless to say that the newsgatherer wore no swal- lowtail coat and no plug hat. He took even the precaution te leave his watch and his ing at an alarming rate. As a precaution- ary measure he tied the glasses to the ta- ble with a string the size of a little finger. He has ordered a-few steel chains to re- place the string, and his intention is to use these chains also as an c~nament to the spoons, forks and knives of the “salle a manger.’’ : At the suggestion of President Garbun- bler the position of Senator Hanna in re- ard to the money question was submitted or argumentation. Little Peet caught on to the cue and remarked that the theories of Senator Hanna were very good when ap- plied to the dispensation of beer at the ‘‘burette’’ of the Senate as well as the bar of the White Men's Lime Kiln Club, but proved a great hardship to the hoboes in thelr commercial relation with the Philistines. Seamless Bill agreed with the orator and concluded with this remarkable illustration: ‘‘Here is a glass of beer,”’ he said, ‘“‘which is filled on the silver basis, that is sixteen parts of foam for one part of beer; ac- cording to the gold standard I would be entitled to sixteen parts of-beer for one of foam.” (Three cheers for Hanna.) Fatty Russell objected to the proposition = delivered an impromptu speech on free silver. “What's the matter with Hanna?’ terrupted Pegleg Bill. ‘“‘He lives around the corner,” answered Dr. West, “I'll go and bring her in to give her opinion.” “Doctor,”’ remarked sententiously Presi- dent Garbunbler, ‘‘you should not mix up the honorable+ Senator of Ohio with a maiden whose reputation is quite soiled. As to you, Mr. Fatty, you are simply prej- udiced on account of your frequent inter- views with John Barleycorn. You attrib- ute wrongly your adiposity to beer, which is very healthful, if consumed in moderate quantities; say no more than thirty schooners or twenty cans for the twenty- four hours. I move therefore that beer should be free as well as silver: No one object? Carried!’’ Following the address of the President, several orators expressed themselves on various topics, including the future cam- paign of the Coxey army, the Civic Federa- tion, the moral standing of Chauncey I. Filley and the efficiency of the St. Louis olice force. The accommodations of Nick carr’s summer resort were also discussed, and the honorable Nick was unanimously roasted, Then came the event of the evening—the initiation of twg members, Harry Johnson, better known under the name of Trumplt, and Leghorn Rooster (this is probably another alias).

THE LIME KILN CLUB IN SESSION. The beds are rather scarce, or, to tell the truth, there are no beds at all, but several bunks are elegantly displayed along the walls, and if necessary the floor is utilized for the accommodation of guests. The only precaution one has to take is to tie his shoes around his neck, if he uses them for pillows. It has been observed by several gentlemen that either the rats walk away with the shoes or the shoes take a stroll by themselves. But this is a matter of small importance. The White Men’s Lime Kiln Club, as stated above, is open day and night; the keys of the front and back doors have been sent to Dr. Parkhurst for safe keeping (this is not a joke either), and therefore everything runs wide open, including Sun- days, holidays and even St. Patrick’s Day. The only thing which is under lock and key is the money. This last commodity is amply protected in a safe nailed to the floor, and the rubber hose does the rest. without mentioning a six-shooter, one foot long, which is always ready to go off its box near the cash register. It must be said, however, that the active members are very orderly; the rubber hose [*; LA .

And a peculiar feature is that they are at their best intellectually only after liquor has stimulated their brains to what was formerly their normal condition. It is well Known that after a prolonged spree, a man, after the liquor dies out of him, will almost entirely lose memory and power of coherent thought. Successive draughts of liquor alone will restore his faculties. Thus it is possible that when sober an alcoholic will forget an episode which occurred when he was drunk, but when drunk again he will recall it. So it is with these wrecks. Deprived of the liquor which brought them to their present state, they are sodden and stupid, the intellect dull and sluggish. Under the influence of stimulants they become temporarily as they were before the work of destruction be- gan. Probably there is no place in St. Louis where more distinctive types of the hobo can be found than at the Lime Kiln Club, nor a place more prolific of material for the student of men. ~ Organ Recital. At St. John’s Episcopal Church, Hickory and Dolman, there will be an organ recital given by Prof. Paul Moore, organist of the church, ‘this evening. Mr. Otto Hein, the well-known tenor, will sing, also Mr. Fred Koch, baritone. Mrs. R. Kendall-Upshaw and Mrs. C. M.

A. MONROE HAS SOME OLD- TIME VIOLINS AND GUITARS OF ESTABLISHED IDENTITY. Mr. C. A. Monroe, who has been a maker and collector of violins and guitars for twenty-six years, has In his possession, at 1928 Morgan street, a collection of instru- ments that is probably the finest in St. Louis. It is the result of many years of careful study and diligent search, and many an old second-hand shop has been ransacked and many a plantation in the South and old negro cabin has yielded some of his most valuable violins and guitars. New Orleans and the surrounding ter- ritory has always been a fruitful field for the connoisseur and many a curio and gem of art, relics of the old cultured and wealthy French and Spanish families has been picked up in this vicinity. It was in New Orleans Mr. Monroe obtained a very rare Spanish guitar, a Mauchand, over 200 years old. It had belonged to an old negro and was broken into several pieces. He brought it to its present owner in an old bag, where he had had it many years. Strange to say, most of the valuable violins which have been found in this coun- try have been bought from some old gray- headed negro, who had Ynherited it along with a lot of old household rubbish from some old master.

The finest violin in the lot is a Pestena, which was bought tn St. Louts from a sec- ond-hand dealer.

She point blank refuses to longer fasten her hat under her chin by means of a piece of elastic. She must fasten it on with one of those cruel looking instru- ments of feminine appointment called a hatpin, and it matters little to the aspiring miss whether her hair ie just long enough for her big “‘sis’”’ to pull or long enough to twist up on curling kids. her wardrobe comes the gradual discovery of its manifold uses and abuses. She finde it a convenient toothpick when a lunch of molasses candy has adhered too closely to her molars. When her hair gets long enough to tuck up in a plait at the nape of her neck she finds the hatpin use- ful in pinning on a huge bow to give the Plait additional proportions. Ordinary scissors are considered not good enough for the care of the young miss’ finger nails and as she has not reached the ignity of young ladyhood a manicure set is not within her grasp. Here again the hatpin comes into use dur- “— her morning’s toilet. he also ornaments her room with va- rious cards and pictures stuck up on the gy and doors with the ever faithful hat- n. ' She is an adept in the utilization of the hatpin by the time she reaches the hairpin age. What a woman can’t do with a hair- pin would not make a long story. To return to the hatpin, it serves as nut picker, orange, apple and lemon peeler, soap cutter, cake Knife, tasting fork, paper file ane eat, but not least, to stick crowders with. The crowder may be a small brother who insist on occupying the same chair with his sister, or it may be an over fresh young man, who nudges up a little too close on the parlor sofa, or when sitting in the ham- mock. If the command, “Now, behave yourself,” fails to restore the young man to a respect- ful distance the hatpin is plunged into his knee with the effect of forcing him to sup- press a yell he otherwise might give vent to were he not afraid of bringing “‘Pa’’ on the scene. A hatpin is a good thing for a lady to have about her on a street car. If some ill-mannered man tries to crowd into the same seat with her she need only make a dive for the pin in her hat and impa the intruder. on it to relieve herself of his resence. He will bound out of the car ithout any ceremonious leave-taki or command on any one’s part, and he will not wait for the conductor to stop the car, either. So long as this useful article can be of service in any way womankind will never return to the old way of tying her bonnet cf THE HAIRPIN AS A FISH-HOOK,. under her chin, or keeping it on her head by means of an elastic. Women have been known to attack bur- giars with hatpins with fatal effect, and physicians are familiar with many cases where young men have carried pieces of these articles in their arms or legs for many weeks. Last summer a man was taken to the City Hospital suffering from a stab wound in- flicted by this distinctly woman’s weapon. About three inches of it remained in his side, and Dr. Sutter had to dig it out. A little Sarehee, and it would have touched a vital spot. A woman is never ata loss to grapple suc- cessfully with any contingency that may arise as long as she possesses a hatpin or hairpin. Of the latter be it said there is no limit to its utility.

On the eve of her wedding she expresses her intention of golng up the Fraulein to peer down the Fairies’ Well there to reac ber fate. Her Aunt Gretchen tries to dissuade her from following what she calls a superstitions custom, but in vain, That afternoon Rudolph and his friend Waldemar call at the mill. They see Gilda and Rudolph becomes smitten with her charms. On leaving Rudelph confides to Walde- mar his intention of meeting the girl at the well at midnight and stealing her from the prospective hridegroom. He meets her and she is bewitched by his manly beanty, though believing him to be an immortal. While they are together Casper sur- prises them, and engages the armored Prince in combat. The latter throws off his armor and de- feats the peasant, leaving him unconscious on the ground, where he is found at daybreak. He be- comes half-witted from the beating and the shock. Meanwhile, dressed in the peasant’s cap, Rudolph awakens the village parson and they are married. the clergyman believing the bridegroom to be Casper. Rudolph carries his bride to one of his castles, while the simple-minded ges he- lieve that the immortal White Knight of the Fraulein had carried Gilda off to be bis bride. After a few days the Prince took his bride to another of his estates, where his old nurse lived. Meanwhile he instructed Waldemar to go and meet his father, the Grand Duke Hugo, get money from him and meet him two weeks from that time. Waldemar, who himself loved Gilda and was jeal- ous because Rudolph did not permit him to speak to her, basely betrayed his cousin and patron and told the Grand Duke of his son’s escapade, adding falsehoods to further incense him. On the day when Rudolph was to return Waldemar and the Grand Duke came upon Rudolph and his bride sud- denly in the forest.

Near the mill the half-witted Casper. who has mistaken the armor-clad knight for Rudolph, falls upon him and after beating his brains out with a rock, throws his blood-stained body Into the stream.

It might have been a dream, a delirium of the sick-room, a vision of the night—and yet it was so vivid and distinct that he could recall it all! that starlit ride through the Black Forest with Gilda; and the meet- ing with his father and the stern words and acts that followed! Prince Rudolph tried to turn his head, to lift his hand, but failed; he endeavored to call aloud, but it, too, was a fruitless ef- fort, and he could only turn his feverish glances on the gorgeous canopy of his couch and then wearily close his eyes. “Do you know me, Royal Highness?’ some one was saying. “It ts Louis!’’ the sick man answered. “Good; you are getting well. You have been delirious, and the physicians despaired of saving you. Are you in any pain, Royal Highness?"’ “No, | am not in pain; nor have I suf- fered!’ whispered the Prince. “I have been having long refreshing slumbers and happy dreams.”’ Then he heard his father’s voice: ‘Louis, Louls, is the Prince conscious?” And Hugo was hurrying to hie son’s bed- side. “Oh, Rudolph!” he excla'‘med, begin- ning to weep, “you are yourself again!” “And what caused me to be somebody or something else?’ asked Rudolph’s weak voice, his hazel eyes kindling with some of the old fire.’”” “I recall my last conversa- tion with you, Grand Duke of Verleinstern- Sigmaringen.” “Call me father; say ‘father’ to me. dolph, meine knabe!”’ Ducal Highness. “Did you not say ‘Do not call me father, I disown you,’. your Grace?” “T said it, but, oh, Rudolph, forgive me.

You do forgive me, Rudolph—take me again to be your father.”’ “I am weak when I love!” Rudolph was breathing with difficulty. “In all our bat- tles you have been victorious because of my love for you. I always concede your point, Grand Duke!”’ “Then I am to be called ‘father’ again? Wait until I am strong enough to make pledges.

She is pretty, witty and wise, so the men all declare, and {ff a vouncil of druggists, so near akin to doctors, agree on anything it must be so. She is secretary of the council and read an interesting report, which was approved by them. She owns and conducts personally a well appointed |-resorts! drug store in Jefferson City, which is sajd to be the most popular resort at the capi- tal. She has proved a successful druggist, and it seems s0 very appruprixte a field for women that I wonder that no member of the sex has ever established a drug store in St. Louis. —o-— The corner drug store, as everybody knows, is a great lounging place and is therefore made as attractive us possible. A woman would think of a dozen ways of reaching this end where a man would think of one. She would, with ner scissors and a few scraps of paper and gay colored ribbons and flowers, make of the interior 4 thing of beauty that men and women would G0 miles to see. Add to this attractive in- terior two or three pretty girls to stand behind the counter and sell the cigars and banbons and the soda-water, what a boundless capacity the men would develop for soda-water! Even the bitterest medic- inal potion would be sweetened by her smile, no doubt. Of course, to a woman's drug store a flower stand would be added, not merely as an ornament. I. would no doubt become a profitable feature. As to prescriptions there is no doubt that ‘hey would be more carefully compounded by women than by men, for it is an estab- lished fact that they are better at detalii an men. They have been accustomed from their childhood to work by recipes and are used to weighing out sugar and flour to a dust lest their fine cakes should be spoileG. tiow many times do they taste the “roth to see if it is properly seasoned? Then, too, they are caution itself. liow many times does a woman get up out of bed at night to see if she has certainly bolted the door? One might feel perfectly secure that no mistakes would be mace in prescriptions handled by a woman. —-O---- There is just one element of the corner Grug store in which she might be found lack- ing-—gossip. There is no place on earth save the barber shop where gossip is so abundant. It floats through the doors from the people Waiting for the cars. It comes over the counter while waiting for the prescription | be Giled and everybody tells all of iheir private affairs through the telephone, re- gardiess of who is listening. Now, women would be too discreet to mention thelr open secrets, while the men—well, if the women run the drug stores then the men will have to content themselves with the gossip of the barber shop.

To Miss Haskell’s address of wei- come to the old students Mrs. George W. Parker of this city, representing the class of 1863, made response.

It was a church wedding and the chancel was elaboiately decked with roses and great long-stemmed branches of the queen of flowers were tied on the ends of the pews. Instead of rib- bons to separate the reserved seats frofh the others, garlands of roses were employed, and when untied were carried down the aisle, so that the bride and groom walked between them to the altar, with little girls preceding them scattering rose petals for them to walk upon. estetinditiiieien News comes from Chicago that the near relatives of a Chicago man recently de- ceased will contest the will by which he left to his pretty young widow the hand- some sum of $600,000.

Among them there Was one so grievously disappointed by her decision to wed the wealthy man from Chicago that he vowed to die at her feet.

At the altar there was no one to protest. The service which united them was rendered without a break. They lived happily for a year or more, when the husband was suddenly stricken by death. And now comes this aftermath of misfortune in the shape of a lawsuit for the fortune which he willed her. — Mrs. George Hayward left last week for the East and sailed Wednesday for Europe, having been called there quite unexpectedly.

Hayward to join her daughter, Miss Florence Hayward, who has been spending the past year in London, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Newton Crane, formerly of this city, who have been living abroad for the past ten years, and are quite prominent in the American Colony in London.

Such excursions are al- ways select. Delightful parties are formed to attend and the dinners and other re- freshments are always first class, the vi- ands made at home by notable housewives, who pride themselves upon their roasts and their salads and their pickles and their jellies and their cakes and their pies and their coffee and their fruit lemonade. The ladies of the Christian Orphans’ Home Board will give their annual excursion upon the steamer City of Providence, June 22, an all-day outing, They will leave the foot of Olive street at 9 a. m. and Krauss street, South St. Louis, at 10 a. m. They will go down to Montesano to spend the day and return before 6 o’clock. They have an able corps of managers, who will provide an excellent dinner. ee June 19 the Board of Managers of the Wornan’s Training School will give a se- lect evening excursion, leaving the foot of Olive street at 6 o’clock promptly. They will serve an excellent supper on board and will have music and singing and other amusements. The Woman's Training School has moved fits quarters from Fourth street to the southeast corner of Lucas place and Nineteenth street, where they will soon be settled for a number of years, if not permanently. Their classes-in cook- ing have increased so in numbers that they have found themselves obliged to abandon giving midday lunches. They had over 275 pupils last year. Many of these belonged to the classes for mistresses, and a great many more to the classes for maids. This is a hopeful sign. Just as soon as cooks dis- card the idea that they were born that way” and have nothing to learn, just so soon will we have good cooks and good and wholesome meals. A contemptuous disdain of weights and measures characterizes the “born cook,” who is not worth her salt nine times out of ten. The closest adher- ence to weights and measures characterizes the chefs, who almost earn thelr weight in silver, so large are thelr salaries. The ladies of the Training School are doing a most excellent work in training both mi tresses and maids, and since such a wo can never be self-sustaining, they must e out with excursions and entertainments of various kinds, which the public are asked to patronize and please others while pleas} ing themselves. —)—- + In a recent issue of the Sunday — Dispatch Mr. James M.

Maudsley, the English expert. His letter follows: 12 QUEEN STREET, MAYFAIR, LONDON, May 2. Dear Sir—Your letter of May 12, with its inclosure from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, has been duly forwarded to me here. Your concise sketch contains In brief compass the leading and most instructive points in regard to its subject. A new and entirely rewritten edition of the “Pathology of Mind” was published for me by Macmillan & Co., London and New York, two years ago. Probably you have seen my “Responsibil- ity in Mental Disease,”’ in the International Scientific Series, published long ago (Ap- pleton & Co.). The only other publicantions of mine are, I think, “‘Body and Will,” published here by Kegan Paul & Co., and issued in New York by Messrs. Appleton & Co. (I am not quite sure on that point), and “Natural Causes and Supernatural Seemings,’”’ published also by Kegan Paul & Co. here, but not, I be- lieve, by any American publisher. A third edition of the book is now almost through the press and will, I suppose, be published soon if the Jubilee follies do not upset all natural arrangements. I am, dear sir, yours truly, H. MAUDSLEY. Likewise such a prominent local expert as Dr. J. K. Bauduy writes of its great value, and announces that he has preserved it in his scrap book, and Charles P. John- son, the well-known criminal lawyer, writes as follows: ST. LOUIS, May 19, 1897. J. M. Loring, Esq.: My Dear Friend—I read your article last Sunday and was very much pleased with it. It is a subject not at all appreciated by the great mass of mankind. There is more insanity tn the world than people have any idea of, and there are thousands who are 80 afflicted, yet held to the responai- bility of sanity in passing upon their acts. How far advanced in the humane view of man's responsibility is Maudsley. He is the greatest mental analyzer of the age and worthy of all honor. Hope to meet you soon and talk on this subject.

_- a ee — a ’ ie mae clnaté, ; é Parisian Origir _ __ Ne Legend Written for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. A peculiar feature of modern journalism consists in the use of types created by popular fancy. The American newspapers devote their columns of humor to the deeds and bonmots of “‘Wandering Willie’ or “Weary Wiggles,’ the characteristic tramp, and the “Cheerful Idiot’ seldom misses an occasion to pass his incongru- ous remarks. The public enjoys this style of literature, which originated in the French press during the first part of the present century. As a matter of fact the American writers do not imitate their Pa- risian confreres; they have only taken pos- session of a “genre’’ to which they adopt the sense of humor for which the subjects of Uncle Sam are justly celebrated abroad. The most remarkable type of the kind was created by the artists of the Paris studios some sixty years ago. Who gave him the name of Jean Hiroux? No one can tell. The fact remains, however, that thou- sands upon thousands of anecdotes have been and are yet printed in the newspapers about this mythical personage, who found his origin in the fertile brain of a ‘‘rapin,”’ as the embryo painter is called. Jean Hiroux has no prototype or original model; he is simply the personification of the obdurate criminal who is unable to comprehend the consequences of his acts. His power of reasoning is confined to the present and upon this hypothesis are based all the ludicrous stories attributed to him. As a matter of course he has been accused of every possible crime, tried before the assizes thousands of times, sentenced to death, executed and even sent to paradise, where he amused St. Peter by his philo- sophical remarks. Phe following legend, written from _men- tal recollections of the studios in Mont- parnasse, the headquarters of Parisian ‘rapins,” will give but a faint idea of the personage; it has the merit, however, of be- ing composed of a series of the most popular anecdotes which delighted a whole genera- ion artists: aan Hiroux is accused of having killed an old ‘invalid’ soldier for the purpose of robbing him of his artificial silver nose. The crime A aggravated by the fact that the victim had a wooden leg and, although de- fenseless, was stabbed seventeen times. The accused is brought before the assizes be- tween two “gendarmes,”’ and the President assisted by two Judges, conducts the tria according to the Napoieon code, asking the questions of Jean Hiroux, who is compelled, by law, to answer. The act of accusation is read first, and proceedings begin. “Jean Hiroux,’’ says the President of the assizes, ‘‘what is your name and your given names?” “Old Joker.”’ answer the accused, who stands up with one “gendarme” on each side; “you call me Jean Hiroux, and you ask for my name. You are a good one,” ‘Accused, you must respect the court un- less you want to be punished for contempt of court.’’ “Mr. President, there is no law according to which I could be gu_llotined twice; there- fore the punishment I am threatened with has no terror for me. Nevertheless, I know that I should respect the magistrates of my beloved country. Proceed, Mr. President.”’ The proceedings continue, and the court states to the jurors that the old “‘invalid’ was murdered simply because the accused wanted to steal his artificial silver nose. ‘“‘Naturally,’’ objects Jean Hiroux, “you are trying to arouse the pity of the jury for that one-legged assassin.”’ ‘*Victim!”’ interrupts the President. “Victim, if you want to; an old thief who robbed me ignominously. Gentlemen of the jury, his nose was silver plated. By the liv- ing God, I swear that this is the truth.”’ “But will you tell why you stabbed him seventeen times, when you knew that he died instantly after the first stroke?’’ ° “This is easily explained; I wanted to ascertain if I could put the blade of my knife in the same hole.”’ The witnesses testify in turn and every- thing goes smoothly until the prosecuting attorney begins to address the jury. Jean Hiroux becomes excited and the Presi- dent requests him to remain quiet, and furthermore to remove his quid of chewing tobacco from his mouth. ve protest in the name of the constitu- tion,”’ says the accussed addressing the aud- ience. “Here I am chewing peacefully, while the President of the assizes has been stuffing his nose with a dirty kind of fer- tilizer which drips to his lips. Do I com- plain? Certainly not! There is something else. I want those two ‘gendarmes’ to be removed, or I cannot accustom myself to the sickening odor which exhales from their Napoleon boots. French people! fellow citizens! France! Oh! Country of the Czar, the time is ripe for a revolution! Remove the ‘gendarmes!’ ”’ The accused is threatened to be taken back to jail and the trial finished in his ab- sence, if he does not keep quiet. He re- sumes a peaceful attitude and the case is then given to the jury which returns in a few minutes with a verdict of guilty with- ut extenuating circumstances. oo Hirow.” says the President, “have you any reason why the death sentence should not be passed on you?” “Not much, excepting that I would like to spend a few weeks in the country to re- cuperate from the excitement. PRA Hiroux, you are sentenced to eath!’’ “And the. cost, which you have forgot- ten,”” remarks Jean Hiroux, while he is being handcuffed previous to being taken back to jail. The day before the execution has arrived and Jean Hiroux is discussing with “Mon- sieur de Paris” the details of the affair. He i sem A promises to the executioner to make him a present of his clothes, but he wants h‘m to oil the guillotine in such a way that there will be no hitch in operating the machine. The Knife is what bothers him the most, as he is afraid that it will not be well filed. The jailer announces to him that his wife has called to see him, and he expresses the desire to see her. The poor woman is in teare, but Jean Hiroux consoles her the best he can. ‘‘My dear,’’ he says to her before parting, “don't forget that it is fot to-morrow morn- ing at daybreak. You will come, won't you? Bring the children along; that will amuse them; the poor little ones have had sO little fun lately.” Jean Hiroux sleeps soundly during the whole night; the executioner, the chaplain, the general prosecuting attorney and the jailer enter hie cell. “My friend,”’ says the jailer, awakening him, “your last hour has arrived. Do you w'sh anything?” “I guess I’}] take a glass of white wine; that is my favorite specific against the tapeworm.” The wine is accordingly given. The chap- lain offers his services, but to no avail. The executioner proceeds to the “‘toilette;” previous to clipping the hair on the back of the neck, he wants to cut the collar of the shirt, so that it will not interfere with the work of the knife. “‘Monsieur de Paris,”’ remarks Jean Hir- oux, “‘you can spoil that shirt if you wish: it will be your loss, You know that I prom- ised you my clothes if the machine is we!] greased.’’ Everything being in readiness, Jean Hir- oux takes his place in the open wagon which will transport him to the guillotine. The chaplain sits near him and begs him to re- ent. He offers him the crucifix to kiss. his crucifix is made of bright white metal, and it attracts the attention of Jean Hir- oux, who says: “‘Look here, father, is that silver or silver plated?” Then he adds, in a confidential tone: “You seem to be a good fellow; do you want to grant me a little favor? ‘‘Certainly, my friend.”’ “Can I trust you?’ “‘Beyond a doubt.’’ “Then, listen tome. I have a sweetheart. Don’t tell my wife about it! That sweet- heart lives ‘rue de la Huchette,’ No. 32. You will have to climb ten stories, and you will see written on the door ‘ring the bell.’ “Don’t ring that bell! Josephine’s room is immediately on the floor above. You will give her a lock of my hair. Josephine is my best girl, don’t you forget it. he is a terror; so behave yourself. The wagon has arrived near the illo- tine, and the large blade of the murderous knife shines under the rising sun. A large crowd surrounds the horri machine and clamors for the blood of the condemned criminal. Jean Hiroux advances without flinching, and his eyes fall up the basket into which his body will be thrawn after the execution. Something attracts his atten- tion. He asks for permission to make a speech. The favor is readily granted. ‘“‘Valorous Frenchmen,” he begins, ‘“‘the Government fools you; the Government is rotten. This basket contains common saw- dust instead of bran to soak up the blood.”’ “What difference does it make to you?’ interrupts Monsieur de Paris. “Sawdust is very bad for the complexion; it produces freckles.”’ Jean Hiroux is satisfied that it is toc late to obtain what he considers his just right; he introduces his head through the “‘lu- nette,’’ above which is suspended the knife, and shouts at the top of his voice, as if ad- dressing his janitor to open the door: “Cordon, sil vous plait’’ (string, if you please). The executioner releases the small chain holding the knife, and a few seconds later Jean iroux makes his appearance at the door of Paradise, where he is met by St. Peter. ‘*‘How do you do, old boy,” he says. “Very well, my friend. What do you wish?’’ “Are you St. Peter?” rou the keys to Paradise?’’ ‘Then give me the key to the toilet-room, I would like to take a bath.”’ It would be a matter of impossbbility to recount the innumerable anecdotes which could be inserted in the legend of Jean Hiroux. The character caught the public fancy in such a way that even to-day the Parisian newspapers publish in their columns some new jokes with which they connect the name of the mythical person- age who was so popular sixty years ago. The caricaturists among them Cham, who adopted the ‘‘nom de plume” under the retense that he was the second son of the omte de Noe (Ham, son of Noah), Grevin, Gavarni, Andre Gille and many others con- tributed not a little to the popularity of Jean Hiroux. They pepeneented him in the guise of what would be considered to-day a typical anarchist, the expression of the face varying according to circumstances. Indeed, the modern anarchist is nothing else but a criminal whose eae is the legendary Jean Hiroux, slightly modified by the charact@ristics of Thomas Vireloque, the mythical philosopher immortalized by Gavarni. Thomas Vireloque (rag-mover) is some- of Jean ofa Style of Liferattrre in Vogue ie Americar Newspapers Sunday Worning—St. Couis Post-Bispatch June 13, 1897, what related to Jean Hiroux, with the ex-/{ ception that his creation is due to the imagination of Gavarni. He is the incar- nate type of the philosopher whose power of reasoning is also confined to the present. He is represented in the garb of a rag- picker, the basket of the profession Strapped to this back, and he. carries in his hand the hook with which he rummages through the manure — or the boxes con- my refuse. Unlike Jean Hiroux, how- ever, he is charitably fnclined and of mild disposition. For instance, he discovers & well-dressed man lying dead drunk in the hae © 7. 7", remarks, —— to ; ~ e ng of crea , said that? Man!” * — ” This constitutes the essence of his philosophy which takes notice only of facts as he sees them at the moment. Like Jean Hiroux, Thomas Vireloque ts not yet forgotten; iw no one has attempt- ed to make him speak since tke death of Gavarni, but his name has been used as a ‘non de plume” by writers of no mean ability. Mr. Jules Lermina, who is also known as William Cobb, wrote in 1877 dur- ing the attempted coup d’etat of Marshal McMahon, a series of articles in the Paris Tribune, under the signature of Thomas Vireloque. Those articles, it can be sup- posed, were not exactly respectful to the Government, and had a flavor of the lan- guage used ay the rag pickers of the cap- ital. The Tribune was prosecuted several times for attacking the constitution and public morals, as well as the laws regulat- ing family, as the Code Napoleon expresses it. Thomas Vireloque was summoned be- fore the Assizes and’ duly sentenced to several years’ imprisonment. Mr. Lermina did not disclose his identity and penalty was imposed upon the “gerant’’ or straw- man paid by the Parisian newspapers to go to jail when a sentence of that kind is im- posed. No article was ever signed by Jean Hiroux, but he possesses over his colleague, Thomas Vireloque, the honor of being quot- ed quite often for his characteristic repar- tees. This is probably due to the fact that Jean Hiroux is a product of public fancy, while Thomas Vireloque was created by Gavarni alone. The only known ancestor of these two types is Jacques Bonhomme, who imperson- ated the oppressed serfs of the medieval ages. He gave his name to the ‘“‘Jacquerie”’ or revolt against the Seigniors. He spoke very little, but acted vigorously. Jean Hiroux, if he had no well defined ancestors, opened, however, a new field in literature. Besides Thomas Vireloque, he gave. rise to Monsieur Joseph Prudhomme, the type of the pompous and ignorant “bourgeois,”” who controlled the Govern- ment during the reign of Louis Philippe. The King served as a model for Monsieur Prudheenme, who owes his celebrity to Henri Monnier. Pandore is the gendarme who in- forces tue law, no matter how absurd it is. He is the symbol of passive obedience and has been made illustrious in song: “Brigadier, respondit Pandore; Brigadier vous avez raison!’ (Corporal, answere Pandore; Corporal, you are right). To the same generation belong Mr. Pipe- lette and Mme. Pipelette, the Parisian jani- tor and his e, whose specialty is to read the postal cards and newspapers of the ten- ants and Collignon, the impudent cabman. Calino and his spouse, Calinette, are of more recent creation. The naivette of their remarks has been copied to some extent by the “Cheerful Idiot’’ of the American press. Dumanet is the private soldier fresh from the country, and Mathurin Is the jack tar of the French navy. Unlike Dumanet, who is delightfully stupid, he is very intel- ligent and particularly boisterous. amol- lot is the type of the old Colonel, who en- forces discipline in his regiment to the point of absurdity; he cannot say a word without oe and the ridiculous orders which he gives his subordinates have con- tributed not a little to rid the French army of a ciass of officers who were responsible ton the defeat of France by Germany in The last type in name is Boireau; his history is less dbscure than that of the oth- ers. M. Jules Launay, the novelist, gave him first the name of Boileau and Bois- raide (drink water and drink hard). Bois- raide did not sound right somehow, and furthermore, as is said in theatrical par- lance, made a ‘“‘double emploi’’ for soif- fard (always thirsty). On the other hand Boileau is the name of one of the classical poets of the reign of Louls XIV. Mr. Lau. ) nay, while visiting at the Marseillaise, the last “‘bonmot’’ of his daily column—which “bonmot,”’ by the way, was always in the same ee eee to his feet shouting to his friends of the editorial room: ‘“Gentle- men, I’ve got it. I’ve got it. I will call him Boireau. t was a “trouvaille’’ or some- thing like a God-sent inspiration. Boireau sounded right and the rame gave to the personage the physical appearance to play successfully a difficult part on the human stage. Since then—it was in 1878 or 1879—Boireau has been alive and if not always amus- ing, is seldom tiresome. Previous to his admission into good society he used to be a wine-shop keeper. Now he has money and moves among the aristocracy, prefer- ing the company of the ladies of high rank. Boireau is full of meritorious intentions, but his compliments always miss the mark; he is a sort of Mr. Malaprop, possessing the Ae tram ag of the parvenus of his class. oireau is somewhat related to Jean Hir- oux also, the wit of his repartees extend- ing ro further than the circumstance im- mediately surrounding the present. There are other types of the same class who are less known, but as a rule they are all derived from Jean Hiroux, whose origi- nality has never been surpassed, KARL MELITE.

HARRIET AYER. I have tried several of your suggestions with excellent results. I have until within the past year been blessed with a very good complexion. Of late I have marked the ap- pearance of what seems to be little round white obstructions underneath the skin, which have increased in both size and num- ber to an alarming extent. They differ from blackheads, with which, by the way, I am seldom troubled, inasmuch as they are entirely underneath the skin. I have with a needle broken the skin, and, by squeezing the flesh, succeeded in dislodging one only to find that a great red blotch would make an appearance in its stead. If you can sug- est any remedy or any course I can pursue y9y which I can rid myself of the aforesaid you will merit my eternal gratitude. You- have accurately described a_ skin disease called acne molluscum, or seed acne, so named because the little obstruc- tions’ have the appearance of tiny seed pearls imbedded in the skin. In reality these seeds are an acccumulation of the sebaceous glands, which are unable to rid themselves of their contents and become hardened, swollen and disfiguring.

NEW YORK, June 10.—When the middle of June makes its appearance the roses are out in full bloom and the city really then takes on its first veil of summer dust, so that the woman New Yorker turns her steps towards green fields, flowering paths and country roads, In fact she picks up her belongings, but not before she has indulged herself in the buying of warm weather costumes and a number of ghirt- waists that will defy hot days for the time she is gone. After hearing of @ place she hastens to board a train, and perhaps the distance not being very great she arrives there early in the morning. It is a beautiful day; the dew is on the grass, the bushes loaded down with bright pink blossoms and the at- mosphere charming. What more can be desired? So she secures a room, returns to town, packs up her Saratoga and by the end of the week is fully ensconced ifn a neat little room, where she hopes to sleep well, and acquire a tonic by soft and balmy air and three gone meals a = The first day she is pleased, by the fourth shs has seen the village and has had a taste of the mosquito—or been tasted by ft.

We are three young ladies and have been reading your columns with great interest and have tried a few of your recipes with some success, but have been looking in vain for semething that we all want, which is a reliable recipe for helping the eyebrows to grow thick and laxuriant. We will just love you if you will print something that will positively make the eyebrows grow and also something that will change same from a very light golden to a darker shade that will not be so noticeable at first. One of us has blond hair and would like to get a little darker eyebrows. FORMULA FOR EYEBROW GROWER. Red vaseline, 2 ounces. Tincture cantharides, quarter of an ounce. Oil of lavender, oil of rosemary, oil origanum, 8 drops each. The eyebrows should be washed thor- oughly, rinsed and dried before applying the grower. This ointment will have a tendency to make the eyebrows darker in color also. Please tell me if witch hazel fs hurtful to the skin if used every day. Also is it good for eyes that become swollen often. If not, tell me of a remedy. Witch hazel diluted with water is recom- mended for weak and swollen eyes. It may be used for the faee to allay sunburn or the pain from insect stings. I do not consider that it beautifies the complexion. Please tell me what to do for my skin. It has a yellow look. I used to have a fair complexion before I started to use powner: I also have red spots on my face; and kindly tell me what is good for eyebrows that are spreading and too thick at ends and will not lie down in proper place. Hoping you will answer real soon, I remain, your anxi- ous reader. j A camel’s hair face brush with a pure hygienic soap persistently used as 1. have often advised, will doubtless restore your skin to its former beauty. Get a small eye- brow brush which looks like a tiny tooth- brush, also a small bottle of yellow vaseline. Put a little vaseline on the brush and train your eyebrows to grow as they should. You will be astonished to see how easily it is done. I have been using the face brush for five weeks and think there is nothing cleaner or nicer, and also the cream for pimples. This has made the skin look soft and white, but the 2h ey are coming out more, and are so red that I am ashamed to be seen now. Will I continue just the same or will you give me something else? Keep on always with the brush, soap and water. Cease the use of the ointment, it was only intended to use if it removed the pimples, It is irritating to some skins, and when this is so it should be discontinued. Never use any cosmetic, no matter how highly it is recommended, if it obviously disagrees with your skin. Will you please answer the following ques- tions? Would massage be of any use for obesity of the dace? Also, are eggs and Indian meal fattening? Massage alone will be of little use in re- ducing flesh on the face; it will harden the muscles and make it appear less stout. India meal, with or without eggs, would be fat- tening; eggs alone will not increase flesh, of large dotted Swies is | ‘The V ” , pote ty and useful Work over the dots Speaking. in Binging” and She Voice in 4 ra .

If the nose is chronically red either the digestion is impaired or tight lacing is re. one and common gense the other. When blackheads appear, and they never will if the skin is kept healthy by daily baths, face steaming and the use of @ good cream will cure them. An excellent ointment is made of flowers of sulphur, one teaspoon- ful; rosewater, one pint; glycerine, one teas- poonful. If the specks are very obstinate and hard to remove this preparation should be used: Liquid ammonia, twenty drops; ether one drachm; soft soap, one ounce. Bathe the place affected with hot water, and then rub In a little of this mixture with the ball of the thumb. Then wash off with het water. Do this till the skin is clear again, In your washing water use now and then a few drops of tincture of benzoin. This will keep the skin free from grease and dust. The nose is very apt to freckle, even when no other part of the face is affected in the same way. These little brown spots can be removed by putting on the nose this lo- tion: Lemon juice, three Ounces; vinegar, one ounce; rogewater, one ounce; Jamaica rum, one ounce. Apply this with a sponge several times a day.

This is the outlook of many a woman who takes to the country for a little recreation. I know a charming little mother with one bides her time, baby who was just dying to get a real nice place where there were but few guests, and for a month or two in the summer—and more than that she was willing to pay a good price if only a suitable home could be found. After look- ing through the Sunday papers her eye lit on an advertisement of a select boarding house in the Catskills “‘Where rooms were coenfortable, board excellent, price moder- ate and a piano, and ice cream thrown in twice a week.” Just the thing she want- ed, so she then thought. Off she posted carrying with her the blessed baby an landed there early in the afternoon and sure enough arrived in time to procure for herself a large, healthy-looking room with lainly three windows. It was a front one, e was furnished, but spotless and clean. delighted and congratulated herself over and over again. As for the table, the firat two weeks the cream and milk were dell- cious. So rich, you know; that kind that some people’ say can be cut with a ®nife. The food was plain, but plentiful. She could stand anything, so she said, so there was good milk for the baby and this was a find in its way. the house fliled up the cream, strange ee bay, was not so thick; the milk became thinner and thinner; by degrees it assumed a bluish cast of countenance, and toward the end of the month a cow had to be found which could give the required sub- sistence to the baby, who was not at all well, and without doubt was becorning quite peeked in face and body. But let me tell you it took at the last a very short time for that woman to pack up. She worried but little over the piano and the arrow-root ice cream in her haste to return to the big city where dust and many com- forts could be got right around the corner, At one time a ber of my family treat- ed nore = © oan of a ot oO Island Sound—and pullt and so, naturally a good lawn a a let 2 i) arrange omplete a sooary—4 -sized rowboat ene | striped ae ae was st ‘Our /# night there was a dance at . military post opposite, and as there were, 8 ry © y et ee 7h F .. o return yg ayy om A storm came uP; the boat d when call f aes a e se of causes, did.

Any child could drive him, unless at certain times that he had obstinate fits. Some P le callead him balky; and when that ook place, you wished he was dead, Move, he would not; go, he would not, neither by coaxing or a ag or by the whip, which really, I believe, never did have any sting in it. One day this horsefiesh of ours got into one of his delirium tremens, and it took three men and one boy to make him take us just one mile. We were told that he should have had one sort of grain, and we gave him another. That the stable- man did not feed him enough to draw three women, who weighed a little over one hundred pounds each, in a very light carry-al. If there was only one woman in the carriage, he behaved just as bad; and so the problem was never solved. It wa a@ country experience, so everybody said, But at times it was heavenly there, and at times there were fugzy-wuzgzies, which ruled the place. Why, it was a riot in which the lesser powers came off conquerors. We had to shut ourselves in the house, look out of closed windows, read novelg and sleep and wait until they took French leave. e devised a method for this troublesome plague. We all got big straw hats with immense brims, The older ones of the party like myself procured sun bonnets, and the clever woman of the house made a mos- quito net frame, which we put on our heads when going out of doors. Thank heaven we did not live near our rich neighbors, and could do as we pleased. If you met any two of us together, you would have declared we were wearing the Indian punkah, and being dark in complexion you can imagine the rest. But we were happy and had lots of fun out of our summer misfortunes. One summer a few years after a part of the family conceived the horrible idea of settling somewhere inland in Long Island. So they spoke of Great Neck. It was a a sounding name and thought it might do. Dears, have you ever bgen to Great Neck? Well, never go there; it is simply an utter abomination. As there was a brand new baby in the family, of course it was all im- portant that an extra place should be found; that the first born should have grounds big enough to be wheeled about in a wicker carriage bought for the purpose. So, in a glance, we took in Great Neck. It was pretty—before us a small cottage, which we were assured was cool, comfortable and in full sight of the village conveniences, It was the middle of June and the grounds were a bower of roses of every variety and size. At the back of the house was an old- fashioned garden, and beyond it a large, open space, where roses bloomed in the grass; blush roses, moss roses and roses in their wild state. We being of imaginative temperament, concluded that this beautiful spot had no doubt some romance connected with it, where, perhaps, a lady fair had pined and died. So we took the house, came in with our trunks, and brought along with us in triumph our brand new baby who was to be the victor of the scheme. We settled down, and such a summer. For the first ten days we were in love with the roses and all the rest of it. As July set in the flowers went, the days ew hot, the air sultry, the sun beating down in all direc- tions it became a horror, the roads unbear- able, the dust a foot and a half deep.. A wind was generally blowing, which scat- tered the tiny particles into your ears, eyes and down your throat. We were quite re- moved from the village stores, which we afterwards found out, so that we had to go quite a distance when shopping. The butchers in that enlightened district eame for your orders, New, you would say, “Bring me for dinner a good piece of beef, weighing some eight pounds, or a certain number of pounds in veal cutlets.” This was Monday. On Tuesday no meat man turned up. By Wednesday at noon, when looking out to see what «the afternoon really was going to be—either rainy or fair—you would spy at one end of the porch —— Tuesday’s dinner, done up in a thick rown paper and surrounded by files. Or, once in a while, when a fish man came along, one of the men of the family, when home, would run like mad to secure a prize. Without a turn of his eye that fish man would throw out a big bluefish and rush ‘on, regardless of pay or questions, but of course was always on time when a Dill had to be presented. All these things dis- couraged and disgusted us; in fact, we were there, had taken the house for three months and had to stay. Another peculiar trait was that the native in this country place would not sell unless he knew the exact market value of farm produce to a cent. One man had a num- ber of cherry trees, the fruit so plenty that they laid on the ground rotting. hen asked to sell he would shake his old head, look doleful and reply: “I will find out this week what they sell for in New York." Well, name your price,” we said. “No, I don’t know what they sell for in New York [I must find out first,” and so the oid heathen would allow his cherries to s rather than sell. Another time we asked a man if he any chickens. He said his wife had. So we hired a carriage to give the new baby & ride and sallied forth proudly to hunt the place where the fowls could be bough We drove up, got out and walked up ® path and asked to see her fowls. : Ang i never hed nF.

MRS. OLIVER BELL BUNCB. NO MORE TIGHT LACING. It Is Passe and It Is “Bad Form” to Indulge It. ' Tight lacing has distinctly gone out in smart circles, the well-dressed woman of to-day sees no fascination in a wasp-like appearance; in fact, she considers it bad form, and the best modistes also hesitate to build a gown upon such a figure, knowing well that rounded waists and full chests the true type of beauty. Perhaps one of the greatest errors made in the choos of corsets is the disinclination in the minde of many to spend money over these garments, Many a woman will willingly pay $75 for gown, but begrudge $10 for a pair of wel cut and well-made corsets. Now to practi economy in thie item of toilet is one the greatest errors. In the fi pair of corsets made by a « in satin or brocade will outlast three ready- made pairs. They will always be comforta- ble upon the figure, and the most ordinary cotton frock or skirt will set well when placed over them.

Dreams of conquests and the founding of empires in the great wilderness of the new world were not infrequently the ambition which inapired many adventurous spirits te week the shores of the western continent, History is replete with conquests, but few are the accounts of the establishment of empires amid the silent forests and moeunh- taing, The words that Miiten put inte Satan's mouth, ‘I would rather reign in heil than serve in heaven,’’ were the principle upon which many adventurers from the monarch- tes of Europe acted. Few persons of this day and generation @re aware that in the mountains of Georgia an empire, with a capital city, an Emperor, @ court, an army, grand officers of State and thousands of subjects was once a re- ality and founded by a French adventurer. Had not an accident, caused by imprudence on his part, resulted in the dismemberment of this romantic and peculiar government, history may have had other events to chron- icle than the American revolution and the Declaration of Independence, New Orleans, Mobile and a few scattered settlements along the Gulf coast and up the navigable rivers of what is now the States of Florida, Louisiana, Alabama and Missis. eippl were the few ecattered possessions of _the French in 173%. The The English settle- ments were dotted along the coast of the Carolinas and Georgia. The colonies of both French and English were weak, scattered far apart and the vast country intervening was inhab’ted by a number of powerful ana wariike Indians. They were the Creeks, Cherokees, Chickasaws and the Choctaws. The Cherokees were the most powerful, and possessed sixty-four inhabited towns, and a single tribe mustered 6, warriors, They were unlike the wild Indians that lived in wigwams. They built huts of logs, fortified their towns with palisades and cul- tivated the soil. The winter found their Sranaries stored with corn and they put up cured meat for the winter. Their domestic life was not all they could boast of in the way of advancement in the arts of civilization. They had a govern- ment, democratic in form, and in each city Was a large square where the leading men of the tribe met every day to smoke, drink black tea made from the cacina plant and to discuss public and domestic affairs. Here once a year, in the month of May, all national affairs were settled in the as- sembly. About this square were built the houses of the chief and big men of the town. Besides these in every town was a separate house for the use of strangers. When the Cherokees were in this stage of advancement there came into their midst a Frenchman, one M. Pribus, sent by the King of France to make friends with the Indians and seduce them from the British to the French interest. Pribus was an officer in His Majesty's army, a man of great sagacity and a diplo- mat. He reached the Cherokee tribes un- molested and after a short stay among them professed to be very much pleased with the chief and his people. Though an accomplished gentleman and accustomed to all the grandeur and refinement of the French Court he adopted the Indian dress and paint. He gave away all of his pos- sessions, save his writing materials, and f£00n looked the veritable red man. He s00n acquired the Cherokee dialect, adopted their customs, ate, danced, joined in the = with them and married an Indian rl, All this time he was slowly but surely impressing the Indiafg-with a bad opinion of the British. When they had grown to consider the English colonists encroaching and avericious, he impressed them with their own importance in America. They aseely came to realize the power of heir numbers, the undeveloped resources of their country, and that it la within their power to check the inroads of the British into the West. This was the keynote of his success. They listened to his plans for the forma- tion of a government the organization of their forces and approved of his plans for their advancement. He then formed a kind of constitutional monarchy and in all he did he was careful not to shock old traditions. He did not take unto himself the supreme seat of government, but did a wiser thing and crowned the old Chief Emperor, ac- cepting for himself the office of Secretary of State, and, of course, he was the power behind the throne. The new emperor was ee amid cer- emonies established by Pribus for the oc- casion, which were pleasing to the savage love of pomp. The government once formed the French- man set about organizing its powers. He discovered nitre in the mountain caves and he knew of iron ore ready for the smelter and of other resources it would re- quire time and patience to develop. After awhile smaller bands oF Indians Sought protection amid the Indians of the new emplre. The power of the new government began to _— and attract the attention of the English, who saw in it evident signs of be- coming @ mighty power and a barrier to British immigration westward. They rec- ognized in the founder a man capable of great ideas and the force of character to put them tnto execution.* He was on the eve of realizing his imperial dream when the English set on foot a movement to shake the foundations of this growing power in the Georgia mountains. The English colonists sent angry letters to the Indian Emperor in his mountain alace which were turned over to the Secre- ary of State. He replied that the business of the Cherokees was no business of the English. This was not satisfactory, and the colonists sent a commissioner, Col. Fox to demand the surrender of Pribus from the Indians as an enemy to: public peace. Fox reached the empire unharmed. and there in the public square found Pribus surrounded by the great and wise men of the Cherokees. The Colonel was a brave man and he walked up to the Frenchman and told him he was under arrest, then he told the Indians why he made the arrest. Hie was not allowed to finish his oration. A warrior interrupted him and told him to Bo eee oldiad e oe eo Pougat was the r nation and they would se that no harm befell him. . — The Englishman was escorted by the Bm- perors Own guard beyond the limits of his territory an was furnished with pass- ports to ineure his safe journey. The Indians appreciated the wisdom of Pribus in select'ng a position in the moun- tains impregnable to attack, where he was forming an empire by slow but sure de- grees. After five years had elapsed, Pribus, es- corted by a little band, set out for New Orleans. On his way he was attacked by several English traders and Indians and captured. hey took him to Fredrica in Georgia, where he was kept prisoner by the Governor. Here after a year he died, and when his influence was withdrawn from the gov- ernment of the new empire, it soon fell to 4eces and a power that might have grown o a formidable height and changed the course of events !n America was emashed like a dream at the death of one ambitious man, whose will had called it into exist- ance as readily as if he had waved a fairy’s wand over a mighty forest and immediately it became enchanted.

Probably the strangest boat ever built is the one pictured here. This boat is de- signed to travel equally well on the water, over dry land or on ice, It can be used for numberless purposes, but its chief use is for exploring expeditions, Arctic or other- wise. In the tropics as well as in the polar regions, explorers must often leave the water for land, and vice versa. The ad- vantages of such a boat as.is here de- scribed under such circumstances will be readily discerned. Rasmus Anderson, @ Norwegian, is the inventor of this remarkable boat. It con- sists of a substantial raft, with room in the hold for engines and boilers. On each side are four large hollow metal globes equipped with paddles. These are revolved THE HARDEST HEAD IN AMERICA. A sT. JOSEPH (MO.) NEGRO ON WHOSE SKULL NOTHING MAKES AN IMPRESSION. The negro is traditionally hard headed. His head has been the butt of many a joke. Funny writers and artists have de- picted the negro’s head stopping a brick, butting a stone wall or a billy goat, always with the view of showing that the brick, or the wall, or the goat got the worst of it. St. Joseph, Mo., has a negro, “Country” Gordon by name, on whose head the funny writers could base all their merry jokeilets and still confine themselves to the truth. Gorden has probably the hardest head in the United States, and he has had more op- portunities of demonstrating the fact than any other man would desire. Country Gordon is a Virginian by Dirth. When a young man he went to Iowa to work in a coal mine. The white miners were on a strike, and negro labor was obtained to replace them. Naturally the strikers were by the engines and propel the boat. The boat is also equipped with a mast and not pleasantly dispos toward them and -_ THE NEW ROLLER BOAT FOR LAND, WATER OR ICE. sails, which can be stowed away, as shown in the picture, when not needed. The boat is of light draught and {fs ex- pected to be particularly serviceabie in ascending shallow. rivers, The hollow globes give buoyancy, rendering it almost impossible for the craft to sink. When required for land use the hollow globes serve as wheels or rollers. All that is necessary is to remove the paddles, and horses, dogs or other beasts of burden can pull it with all ease. If, on an arctic rip, the boat should be frozen in, it can be hoisted on top of the ice and straightway converted into a ser- viceable sledge. If open sea be encoun- tered again, it can be launched promptly and the journey pursued) without interrup- tion. This suggests amother use to which the boat can Be put, It would be very service- able as a Hfeboat, as it could be pulled over land right into the sea without the use of rollers, and without any delays. The inventor claims that as a boat it can be used as a lifeboat, yacht or steamer, to say nothing of the other advantages he claims for it. But although he claims it fs entirely seaworthy, he intends it more for exploring purposes than any other. IN A BALLOON AT NIGHT. A Frenchman Describes the Sensations of Flying Through Darkness. Describing his experience in a balloon at night, a French writer in Cassell’s Family Magazine states: “There was a crip coldness in the at- mosphere which freshened us. A buoyant, thrilling sense of exultation sprang into life—an exquisite sense of adventurous mys- tery. Alone we clove the waves of the shadow. No shape or cry of bird betokened the existence of animated life, evén of the proper Genizens Of the air. It was a time to fill the mind with strange fancies and the ear with wild caroling. There were none to follow us. We pursued, but were unpursued, Twenty-four hours in the air, one turn of the earth upon its axis, that was our task. It was M. Tisandier’s rec- Ord we meant to beat and twenty-four hours would achieve the feat. We had an eye to distance, too. The aeronaut named tra- versed 80 miles; we hoped to do more. We apes through the blackness at a speed of thirty miles an hour, devouring distance insermsibly. There was nothing to afford a comparison of speed, however, and so far as persopal sensations go we were mo- tionless. The air grew clearer still. A serene and pulseless immobility rested upon the face of nature. The hot, burning ex- citement of a contest in’ which each com- petitor has the other in view was, of course, no part of our feelings. We were often alone, that was the most potent thought that passed through our minds, solitary in the strange immensity which stretched around us, But we had a@ goal in view all the same; a goal which we determined to reach. “A singular echo of earth reached in the profound stillness. We had long passed Corbeil, and dark beneath us Stretched the forest of Orleans, its som- ber shadows casting a deeper gloom upon the earth's surface. Danger lurked in its impenetrable glades—danger for us, safe as we seemed to be, A gleam of red light sud- denly showed, followed by a sharp report. The idea of connecting it with ourselves appeared absurd, but the whistle of a bullet proved that we were not so high above the earth as to debar a soliatry watcher in the forst from phy | his luck at us with a shot As a matter of fact, we had contrived with management to Keep the balloon about 600 yards high for some hours. For what strange quarry did he take us? While we were speculating as to the motives which fmpelled the shot, a second bullet was heard. It was poor sport for us, however pleasant as it might be for him who grati- fied his instincts of destruction in the re- cesses of the wood. The night had grown much lighter, and doubtless the huge bal- loon was plainly visible to a lurker in the umbrageous windings of the dark forest: but we could see nothing but the gaunt swaying shadows of the branches. The bullets, happily, found no billet in the vul- nerable sides of the balloon, which soared majestically on, as though the lofty and calm dignity of the starry wastes ha@*im- parted its spirit to her.” us How Chinese Do Various Things. The Chinese do everything backward. They exactly reverse the usual order of civilization. Note first that the Chinese compass points to the south instead of the north.

A CANADIAN LAWYER INVENTS A BOAT EXPECTED To TRAVEL A MILE A MINUTE, A queer-looking vessel is now being con- structed in Toronto which, if it meets with the success expected by its inventor, will revolutionize lake and ocean travel. For years the best marine architects in the world have been at work on the Clyde on models with a view to turning out steam- ships that would reduce by a few hours the time in which the voyage from New York to Liverpool could be made. But for a long time F. A. Knapp, a lawyer of Napa- nee, Ont., a small town near this city, has been at work on a model for a vessel de- signed not to reduce the time of the At- lantic trip by a few hours, but to lop no less than four days off the time in which the most modern greyhounds can make the “Not until 1 ld ot until recently could he get gome one to take Hold of his plan to build a veasel that would cross from New York to England in two days, or at the rate of a mile a minute. The mere suggestion of his expectations in his respect was sufficient to make capitalists he broached the sub- gost to look bg the whole thing as some- hing too wild to come within the range of practical mt a, ag, modren invention of any kind. But rr. Knapp persisted, and at last succeeded in imparting some of the faith he has within him in the scheme to rge Goodwin, a contractor, of Ot- tawa, who put up $10,000 and gave the con- tract for the construction of a vessel after r. Knapp’s ideas. The contract was feven to the Polson Iron Works Co. of Toronto, and a huge frame work of iron in the shape of a large cylinder is being reared in their shipyard here. he work on the vessel has been in rogress for some weeks, and in another ortnight it is expected it will be launched. The vessel looks for all the world like a huge tubular boiler lying on the horizontal, with a gmaller cylinder inside of it. It is 110 feet long and forty feet in diameter. The framework is being covered with one- uarter-inch steel plates. The inner cylin- er is sufficiently smaller than the outer one to leave a space between the two of four feet.. There will be an axle, on which the inner cylinder will swing and on which the outer will revolve. dles, or sorts of buckets, will be fas- tened to the outside shell, and it will be made to revolve by the motive power car- ried in the inner cylinder, rolling over the waves at a great rate of speed, according to the calculation of Lawyer Knapp. The inner cylinder, which the passengers are to occupy, and where. the machinery will be placed, is to be fitted with a steam en. gine of 150 horse-power. This will be the motive power by which the outer cylinder is to be made by friction to revolve rapidly. The inner cylinder will be fitted in the outer shell so as to allow it to slide around it as the outer one revolves, on a sort of arrange- ment of tracks and ball bearings, and this compartment will be kept hanging in posi- tion by ballast. It will provide in this way against the disagreeable motion of an ordin- ary vessel in a choppy sea that produces seasickness and makes the ocean voyage in other ways far from agreeable. Between the two cylinders the vessel will afford space for freight that will revolve with the outer cylinder. It will have a num- ber of diamond-shaped ventilators for the escape of smoke. On each end there will be the steering aparatus. The steering will be a simple matter, as it can be arranged to have a sort of a rudder projecting from each end capa- ble of retarding the motion of one end or the 4 | A RAGGED MINER'S LUCKY FIND. PICKED UP IN AN IDAHO MINE THE LARGEST SAPPHIRE EVER FOUND IN AMERICA, Another valuable gem has been found, and, as has been the case with all the fa- mous jewels of history, it wag found acci- dentally by a poor ignorant miner. But, unlike most of them, he has so far met with no startling adventures, and has not been cheated out of his fortune through his ig- norance of its value. This remarkable stone is a sapphire, and was found a few days ago by a ragged miner in a placer in Idaho, in the trailings of a Sluice box. When the miner found it, he took it to the Miners’ Bureau, at Denver, Colo., and had the gem examined by Mr. Taylor. The expert was struck dumb with amazement when he had examined it. It was a sapphire of the purest water and the largest he had ever seen. He pronounced it worth $4,000.

The prophecy was as follows: “We are almost positive that we shall hear news of a frightful fire In Paris, which will make many victims, while a great crowd will collect around the ru!ns.”’ The fact that it was specifically stated that victims of the fire were to be severely burned, and in a manner contrary to the way such actions usually occur is taken as indisputable proof that there was a divine THE OLD TREE NEAR WHOSE TRUNK $39,000 IN GOLD WAS DUG UP. half inches thick, one and one-half inches wide and two inches ong. It bore evidences of having been found in a stream or dry channel, and was greatly water-worn. The size and weight of the jewel, 208 carats, should make it worth no less than, $14,000. It is perfect, except for a small frac. ture on one side measuring less than one- eighth of an inch in depth. It is pronounced by experts to be the largest ever found in this country, and is of a bright blue color, When an agent of a New York firm heard of the sapphire he offered the owner $4,500, but was refused. ‘The miner intends tak- ing it to New York, and if he cannot get its true value there he will be able to get it in London.

Another, found by a poor man In Bengal, and sold by him for a few rupees, is worth 6,800 pounds. It came into the possession of the Ruspoli family of Rome, and then into that of a German Prince, who sold it to Perret, a dealer in Paris. The most important stones are two mag- nificent stones which were exhibited tin London in 1862, and in Paris in 1867. The largest is oval in shape, and of a dark, slightly inky shade. It weighs 252 carats. The other is smaller, but richer, and came from India in 1856, wherg i was very poor- ly cut by Hindoo lapedaries. Its original weight was 22 carats, but it was reduced by cutting to 165. It is valued at 8,000 pounds, and is considered the finest in Eu- rope. The largest sapphire ever found wae dis- covered in Bernardymo in Burmah. An- other large one was found in Bawbadan, weighing over 400 carats. It belonged at one time to King Theebaw, who sold it to a dealer. Later it was cut into the form of a brilliant, which process reduced its weight to 125 karats. - : » very finest specimen of a Burma Hi Sued diecovered during the re'gn of Mindoon Min, near the village of Wet- loo. It weighed 350 carats before it was and 161 afterwards. The K.ng paid 7,000 rupees for it, and it afterwards came into the possession of King Theebaw. The sapph're has a wide eographical field. It is found in Burmah, Siam, Caséh- mere, Ceylon and Montana. The Montana stones, when pure, are considered as fine as those of Ceylon, Burmah or Cashmere. They are found along the gold bear.ng drifts along the Missouri River near Hel- ena. The sapphires of Siam are considered superior to all others. The first sapphires discovered in Montana was at Eldorado Barr in December of 1866. The miners found curious lookipg stones which some picked up and saved as curios- ities and did not consider them of any value. The jewelers of Helena said they were only fraginents of quarts. Some of these stones found their way to New York where they were found to be true sapphires and when cut and placed i market netted their , se a neat littie sum. ont the stone found by the Idaho miner turns out to be as fine as it is thought to it will bring him a small fortune. Plenty of Candidates. There are seven candidates in the field for the presidency of Guatemala, or metaphysical agency at work, although why “Old Moore’se Almanack” was chosen as the channel of such important tidings it is impossible to explain. Perhaps the g-ft medium believed in almanacks as the on true and proper way of enlightening man- kind and feared the ridicule which would have attached to such a prediction in the public press. Here is one of the letters that a@ correspondent of the London Telegraph yon written that paper apropos of the inci- ent: Sir—With reference to the provmecy of the Paris disaster, contained in Old Moore's Al- manack, I beg to say that I_believe it to be not a mere coincidence. I have for some time been interested in the question of revision, and during the past two years ates had some remarkable instances of foresight occurring to a friend and patieut of mine. : On Saturday last she had a prevision of the Paris disaster, with the name of eight of the victims, and also an intimation that about 200 deaths would result from a fire in a temporary building in Paris. The same evening she had a prevision of the shippin accident near Aberdeen, the full name 0 one steamer being given and the first letter of the other, as well as the statement that eleven lives would be lost. These accounts were written on a letter card, which was posted on Sunday. last, and there is the postmark, May 3, quarter-past twelve a. m. Before being posted the letter card was at- tested by two gentlemen and myself. This statement will sage ong call forth skepti- cism by those who have not turned their at- tention to psychical research. But to those who have studied the seeming mysteries the ability of my patient to foresee these disasters wil] not be regarded as anything particularly astonishing, but rather as only further evidence of the power of psychics to have revealed unto them important events that are about to transpire. Per- haps when this power is more widely recog- nized, mankind will avail itself and take warning; but until that time I am afraid the importance of these revelations will not be appreciated until after the catastrophe, and even then some skeptic will sneer: “It was merely a coincidence.” I am, sir, your obedient servant, A MEDICAL MEMBER OF THE PSYCHI- CAL RESEARCH SOCIETY. This most interesting epistle is dated May 6, and in the foot note 4 the editor it Is stated that the correspondent is personally known to him as a gentleman of the high- est professional HASSE, who wishes his name withheld from publication until! the Psychical Research Soctety has investigated the two revelations and attested their genu- ineness., ’ FOUND AN AZTEC MUMMY. Queer Discovery of a Professional Lion Hunter of Arizona. John McCarthy, a professional lion-hunter of Phoenix, Ariz., while pursuing his quar- ry through one of the toughest portions of that mountainous district, discovered 4a mummy that has been attracting attention all over the country, and is likely to be the cause of much litigation as to its ownership. McCarthy calls it a desicated human body,” and gives it an antiquity antedating Father Adam’s. And to prove that his mummy came by some other route than the Garden of Eden he io to the place where the twenty-third rib ought to be and 8 not, McCarthy was hunting bounty scalps in Verde canyon, about seventy-five miles north of Phoenix, says the San Fran- cisco Examiner, when he came upon the ruin of a wonderful prehistoric castle. H's dogs chased the game almost to the door of the ruin. He killed the lion and then en- tered the ruin. He climbed into a small chamber, which he describes as about six by twelve feet in dimensions, and !n accident- ally striking the rear wall was surprised that it gave back a hollow gound, which caused him to investigate with bowle knife the cement with which the huge stones were held in place. Digging through a thick ce- ment wall, he opene an air-tight vault about six feet square and was astonished to find the mummy inside. It was mantied in cerements of soapweed fiber cloth, which dissipated into nothingness as soon as the air reached it. By its side was a wooden- handled stone mallet and an arrow with a fllnt head. The wood of the arrow and mal- let likewise disintegrated immediately. There were also some beautiful specimens of turquoise and obsidian tn the vault. Mc- Carthy says he touched nothing, but sealed up the vault carefully and then hied him- self down to Phoentx aes fast as he could. McCarthy made up an —— of all the prominent scientists and physicians in Phoenix and took them out to the newly- found mummy. It was brought down to Phoenix and given a coat of carriage varnish by way of shining up ite rather dull and rusty old hide. Re- cently the mummy, together with a live rat- tlesnake and a Gila monster, was ship out of Phoenix marked “old clothes,” and, not being called for, the box was opened at a way station and its contents gave the sta- tion agent a bad fright. Now the authorities are tp, for the responsible parties, and a criminal prosecution will follow. Story of a Humming Bird. A contributor to the American Sports- man tells an interesting story of a hum- amin bird. “In front of a window where I worked last summer was a butternut tree. A humming bird built her nest on a limb that grew near the window, and we had an opportunity to watch her closely. In fact, a could look right into the nest. One day hen there was a heavy shower coming up e thought we would see if she covered her oung during the rain. Well, when the first drops fell she came and took in her bill one of two or three large leaves growing close by and laid this leaf over the nest so as to completely cover it; then she flew awvar. On examining the leaf we found a hole in it, and in the side of the nest was a smali stick that the leaf was fastened to or hooked upon. After the storm was over the o bird came beck and sanoohen the leaf, and the and one that has inspired many ers to seek its location. There comes a story now that t hidden wealth, or at least a part of beer! found in Florida. This fact sufficiently interesting, and the story discovery makes it doubly so. The spot where it was located is off coast of Florida, four miles. The island is sixteen miles long and four miles wide. It has a large population, prosperous county seat side resort. It is the It was wild and lonely enough in the years of Sparish piracy, and was then @ Dec that time a m a rance and its actontiate search several men to do the exhumed great quantities tery and other t ings.

With the discovery of the treasury came the fear of its being claimed by the owner of the pro rty and they were at a loss to know what to do with it. They decided it was the safest plan to the gold out of that part of the count Gause, not doubt Pinkney’ esty. packed the treasure into two trunks a valise and started him to Brunswick, r where he intend to join him as soon as he disposed of his business.

They finally came to an pnders ing to divide the gold = Hall found Pinkne’ up an r assumed the role of detectiv ing the man they had found that he had heard from Pinkney showed his letter, which wap dated ew York and bore the words “Fifth Avenue at the top. Following up this clew, he communicated with the police of New York, with the sult that he soon learned Pinkney’s aa- dress. This he gave to Gause. Then, a vising the latter of the necessary steps to take, sent him to New York in quest of the thief. Hall was too busy to ego him, and itntrusted the whole thing to him. And Mr. Gause disappears from the scene. Hall then secured from the Governor a commission employing him to search locate and secure for the State, all mo coin, plate, gold, silver or bullion whic would belong to the State or Sovereignty. Hall was to receive a commission of 50 per cent of all valuables found on the isl- and, and he is now planning a great treas- ure hunt. Since the great discovery the island is overrun with treasure-seekers, but so far nothing more has been found. few days before Gause left Fernan- dina he borrowed a book giving the valua- tion of old gold coins. Whether this treasure is really that of Capt. Kidd has not been established. It may have belonged to the pirate Morgan, who was the terror of the West Indies, Bahamas and the Southern coast. It was a commen occurrence for him to sweep down on a town with his fleet of fifteen vessels and capture all its wealth. At one time he took $6,000,000 in — from the coast of Central America. It Is supposes that a large rt of this was urted. Finally his followers became discontented and demanded a division of the treasure. On the night before they were to be their share Morgan escaped amid the ness with his wealth. .He was pursued, and when they gave up the chase he was seen rounding the Florida Keys, and Morgan may have buried his gold here.

To filt off quietly to the seashore, the mountains, or the pretty path- . Jess woods—anywhere, anyhow—is the one idea which fills the minds of the butterflies and harrows the souls of fashion’s devotees, House parties are the talk of the hour and townfolk are busily preparing their country houses for the accommodation of the merry troops of young people who will soon arrive, bag and baggage, to become initiated into the mysteries and delights of rustic life. Mrs. J. B. C. Lucas is making arrangements at her summer place in Normandy for the house party which she will give late in June, and last week a party of young people, among whom were Misses Bessie Drew and Louise McCreery, went down to Arcadia to spend a week with Mrs. Wm. H. Thomson at her beautiful country place. From Glencoe, Ferguson, Peverley and from the innumerable other little summer resorts near.St. Louis one hears news of house parties which are being given and of those which are yet to come, so, after all, perhaps the summer season will not be so + i= ye dull as the smart folk like to pre- ct. The entertainment for the benefit of St. Ann’s Church, at Normandy, on Thursday evening of last week, proved to be one of the most successful and enjoyable amateur performances of the season, both from social and financial points of view. Mrs. Charlie Van Studdiford sang exquieitery. and as is the case whenever she sings in public, her performance called forth the most flattering applause. Mrs. Van Studdl- ford js an uncommonly pretty woman, and she sings with a sweetness and simplicity of manner which never fails to captivate. The children’s tableau called the “Babes of the Nations” was one of the prettiest things on the programme, and second to it was the tableau “The Sweetest Story Ever Told,” showing Mr. Will Hoxton in a di- rectoire suit and powdered wig, gazing with amorous admiration at Miss Hortense Poulin, clad in a dainty peasant costume. The Dairymaids’ drill was also extremely retty. he young ladies who took part n this drill wore ghortskirted frocks of bright blue, with white kerchiefs and ( Mw, J A Aig NS \\° [aan } Mj >" a ei ’ i / e soc mmumpgl AY (wl WN) , VM / ) ”s . . - Oa * PO) Oe OX) +. ie i We Z ih ee —S- QO —_—- s .¢ } if OAM ‘ ~~ Me ’ il AY “% rs RY " ry ‘ iS P te Wy Hf} x 4! a) \ \ AS ( Sse ” See \) ‘ ‘ ny iM 4 ‘ W\\ we .

Jaxon & Mufray to bring their com- pany to St. Louls for the summer season. So much of a complimentary character had been published about the company that the public rather expected something better than the ordinary summer garden organiza- tion; but it was.not prepared for the really high-class grand opera that the patrons of the Cave have enjoyed since the opening last Monday evening. Mind you, the eompany is not flawless. Several weak spots were dis- cernible in ‘“‘Lucita Di Lammermoor” and “Cavalleria Rusticana,” and it is questiona- ble if any individual singer in the company could star successfully. But those two cir- cumstances do not alter the much more gratifying fact that the company is better balanced, better trained and better equipped vocally than nine out of ten organizations that present grand opera in the regular sea- son ‘for prices twice and three times as high _ as those that prevail at the Cave. The prin- cipals are equal to the most trying roles in the two operas-_they have been seen in here, and the chorus has shown an ability that marks it as capable of answering any call made on it to the satisfaction of the public, The orchesra is adequate and the cos- tumes and scenery are handsome. Mr. Jaxon and Mr. Murray are to be commended and Mr, McNeary and the public are to be congratulated—he, because the merit of the attraction insures the prosperity of his gar- den, and his patrons because they will get the worth of their money. “Lucia Di Lammermoor” and “Cavalleria Rusticana”™ will be repeated to-night. ‘“‘Car- men'’’ will be put on to-morrow night with the following cast: Don Jose...Mr. Edgar Temple or Mr. Payne Clark PUENTE ccd peepeesosccesceccseen ths d: me Muttay I] Danciro seees @eeseeeeeeeeseue Mr. Ww.

Diard has had a hard week in “Lucia Di Lammer- moor.’’ During the engagement here Miss Norwood's personality has aroused admira- tion and there is a desire that she be given an opportunity to demonstrate the quality of her talent. —--0O---— The company at Koerner’s Park has shown during its first: week that it is capa- ble of producing comic opera in a satisfac- tory styles. The voices of the principals are good enough for any demand made on them in the course of an engagement, where the .music is Wght and comedy is a prime essen- tial. The chorus is nice to look at. Some of its members are old favorites. Amon these are Ada Mansfiela and Amandita Ri- vera. Ben Lodge, the low comedian, is also an old favorite. Like Mr, Ward’s kangaroo he is a “Komical Kuss’ ‘and his 8t. uis admirers are numerous.

It Is mot necessary to ex- Patiate upon the enterprise of the managers in engaging Miss Hall. She was a high- class operatic star and is a still higher class vaudeville artist and it costs money to get her on a stage. She is said to have intro- duced new features in her p} to the top one are abundant enough to keep him prancing, and the find the melody that comes from his four- foot jounces quite soul dissolving. After this, while one man grows dreamy in play- ing ‘Home, Sweet Home” ona violin, touc h- ing two strings at a time, his companion changes his attire and enters, satisfied with his appearance in all] pestiowers, except his hat. But a nearby hat rack holds eight hats, and his pretense at trying these on brings an air from the bells they carry. The mens most intellectual achievement comes as the climax to their inning. Both put on jockets that make them full-chested, and oth don boxing gloves. As soon as the bout begins it develops that the reed stirred to noiseness by a punch in the short man’s stomach 1s of a different pitch from tha over his heart and from the others distrib- uated over his own and his assistant’s per- sons. So a rapid exchange of thumps and ewats makes a tune recognizable, and in the second round, which fs invariably demanded, “Yankee Doodle” gets such a slogging as would almost make a patriot blush. — The return of Ysaye to this country next season will provide another popular figure for the public that is accustomed to grow enthusiastic over musicans, and as he will be practically without a rival next winter, every element necessary to a repetition of his former success here seems to be prom- ised. Experience has generally shown that only one of these celebrities at a time can occupy the very exalted place in public favor that Ysaye won, and the unfortunate te M oY , ry ros . ‘ Ky OS iW ¢/ Re SiYt/ ff, RO iff MY) _ ‘7 AL) .

Mapleson com-'| mences his season of Italian opera at Drury Lane. The Colonel's London cam- paign will be somewhat dissimilar to that which he conducted here last autumn, as his singers are to include about the best- known pfima donnas on the stage. It has been announced that both Mme. Melba and Mme. Nordica are to lead the list of women singers who will take part in Col. Maple- son's performances, The re rtoire will be made up largely of the Itallan operas and the performances will all be given in that language. For the first time in several years Mme.

The veteran out very were in this country while the Belgian player was so popular here are emphatic proof of this. —— Diego de Vivo is now the oldest living im- presario who has been active mainly in this country. Max Maretzek was the dean of the operatic managers until his death a few weeks ago, and Signor de Vivo went down to his funeral on Staten Island in spite of the warnings of his physician, who forbade him to make the trip. “T will go if I never come back,” said the signor, and he went. The prohibition of his hysician was based on the fact that at the uneral of his old friend, Napoelon Barony, which took place about a year ago, De Vivo was so overcome that he had a stroke of apoplexy on his return and he was ill for several months. He is a veteran in the business of amusements, but he is not in the least of a pessimistic frame of mind, ana nobody is more eager to praise present systems and artists than Signor de Vivo when he really sees merit in the matter. He is not given to comparison of present times with the past and the resulting unfavorable conclusiong which the yt pp ree: general about one discouraging point. admit that the operatic impre chance of accumulating riches for his old age.

OZIAS PAQUIN CLAIMS IT IS POSSIBLE TO CURE INIBRIATES AND VACCINATE AGAINST THE ALCOHOL HABIT. It is more than cruel, it is criminal, if anything, for any one to claim to be able to cure alcoholism radically, and to lead the unfortunates and their friends to hopeless and futile expectations. In the last twenty years, cures for this misfortune have multiplied to such an extent, and have claimed so much with so little logic, that we are justified in doubting new innova- ons. Now comes Dr. Ozlas Paquin with a claim outdoing any ever presented, but for the first time it is a claim with some scientific and plausible explanation behind it. The doctor, who is a brother of Paul Paquin, the bacteriologist and experimentalist, who instituted the serum treatment for con- sumption, puts his dipsomaniac on the erers from germ diseases.

If he hasn't died of enlargement of the heart—an’ I reckon most likely he hain’t—he’s livin’ there yet. But I hain’t met up with him sence I moved away from the piece. an’ I don’t know as I keer to pertikiarly—not if I’m goin’ ter do any trading with him. Oncet in a lifetime is "bout often enough ter do any dickerin’ with a man of that kind.’’ “Why, did he get the best of you on a trade?’ inquired one of the crowd. “I’m comin’ to that part of the story in est a minute,’’ said Peters. “I don’t admit that Hubbs got the start on me on a trade, because there wa’n’t no trade about it. It was simply sharp practice, an’ no one ex- cept a man mean enough ter skin a flea fer the hide an’ taller would ’ve thought of it. “Ye see, the way of it was this: I had a couple of nice fat pigs that I'd raised that summer, an’ one day in the fall Hubbs come along an' said: “ ‘Sam, what'll yer take fer one of the pigs? One is all yer want fer yerself, ain't it?’ “I told him I had calkilated on keepin’ one of the pigs an’ the hams of the other fer my own use, an’ sellin’ the balance. “ “Well,” says Hubbs, ‘that’s all right. I don’t keer fer the hams. ‘If ye sell me the pig right I'll send ye the hams back an’ charge ye accordin’ly, an’ after we find out what the hams weigh we'll deduct the one from the other an’ square up the account.’ ‘I said ail right, that was satisfactory to me. An’ after hemmin’ an’ hawin’ around fer half an hour more, an’ tellin’ me how cheap pork was that fall an’ beatin’ me down all he could, he finally agreed to allow me $4.50 fer the pig, an’ took it along the place fer five years after that, but Hubbs never called fer that dollar—an’ I never got anything except them hams out of him on account of that @4.50 pig, either. ‘Ye kin trot out all the mean men ye know of from Maine ter Californy,’’ con- cluded Peters, with a reminiscent sigh, “but fer real downright hoggishness— bristles an’ all, b’gosh!—an’ sneakin’, low- down, underhand cunnin’ an’ meanness, lll back Hank Hubbs ag’inst the hull I was calkilatin’ on gettili’ the hams crowd.” WILT »o GIDLLY. NOTHING TO HER. “Did you see Mrs. Dresser at church yes- terday with a new suit on?” asked Mrs. Akrid of Mrs. Eager. ‘You did? So did I, and I—well, it’s nothing to me how many new gowns she has. I don’t have ’em to pay for, and I thank heaven that I’ve a mind above jealousy and above dress, but if I were Mrs. Dresser I wouldn’t lay my- self open to critic‘'sm by coming out in a new gown every, three or four weeks ‘when everybody knows that her husband had an 7 awful hard time to meet his bills. It’s nothing at all to me, but that’s the sixth mind you, the sixth new gown’'she has had in as many months, for I’ve kept track of all of them, and I’ve made a pretty accu- rate estimate of just what three of them cost, for I found goods just like them in different stores and asked the price just to find out what they did cost anyhow! And I have reason for knowing that she pays three and a half a day for a dressmaker when she has her dresses made at home, and the dressmaker who makes them when she has them made away from home never touches a dress of any kind for less than $10, and she runs from that up to $25! Just thing of it. It’s nothing whatever. to me, and I don’t care if she sends to Paris for her dresses. She did send to New York for that black moire of hers, and she paid at least $3 a yard for it, for I found out just where she got it in New York and I sent to them for samples and prices of their “PUTTING IT OFF TILL TO-MORROW.” ; ; i ' .

Then I shall not be com- pelled to bandy words with an underling, but proceed to business in a matter of im- portance concerning the morals and wel- fare of the community.”’ “Fire away, sir,”’ was the blunt encour- agement. “Well, sir, I have made some important investigations and gather most’ shocking Statistics, which will take the country by storm. have unearthed a den of degrada- tion and vice, and have explored a dark hell of lost souls right here in the heart of the city which will make our vaunted civ- flization blush.’’ = great reformer rubbed his hands with glee. “Now, sir,’ began the earnest man, “I wish you to come with to-day and let me be your Virgil through this modern Purga- torio——”’ ‘“‘Sorry,’”’ was the regretful interruption, “but to-day I am rushed to death reading pres on my great work, ‘Vice Knocked Out n One Round; or, the History of My Great Deeds,’ You must have a copy, price $2 cash or $10 on installments.

I am so.happy in your love that the prosaic life I led be- the most remarkable. discoveries I heard of. Students of the Bible read about these stairs in the twelfth Nehemiah, descriptive of the solemn dedica- tion of the newly built wall of Jerusalem, when the great ceremonial procession, headed by the High Priest, passed up these very stairs.”’ ‘Very remarkable, isn’t it?” assented Mrs. Bainbridge. ‘‘Here, too, are fine all- wool mohair jacquards, which never before sold at less than 60 cents a yard, now £0- ing for 30. I declare I never heard the like. I just wish I had not bought anything for two months, but had waited for this mark- down sale." “Tt eeeeece from this book,’ went on Mr. Bainbridge, ‘‘that this stairway is about forty feet below the present surface of the ound, and has been covered up for a housand years, perhaps for two thousand fears. A totmmapana of the steps is that hey have alternately broad and narrow treads. Every step is about seven inches high, but the treads are about one foot wide for the narrow ones and four feet for the broad ones. These steps are supposed to have been made that way to allow horses to use them, as the animals could take the wide steps and omit the narrow ones. This conjecture seems plausible, because the steps lead to that part of the city where Solomon's stables stood.” “Just listen here!"’ exclaimed Mrs. Bain- bridge, breaking in upon her husband's re- marks with great animation, ‘‘You can get @ epecial brass trimmed iron bedstead, with woven wire springs complete, for only $6.

Simpson, the handsome young Chicago poet, who was dining at the home of the talented Boston beauty, felt that he had been guilty of some gaucherie, some etourderie or bad break that lowered him in the esteem of the one woman whom above all others he w'shed to please. As Miss Beaconboomer turned,a cold and haughty gaze upon him and made no move- ment of her hand tn the direction of the late of potatoes that stood near her, Mr. Simpson vainly endeavored to recall the botanical or Boston cognomen of the article of food he desired. “I beg your pardon,”’ said Miss Beacon- boomer in frigid tones, “but what did you or “For an instant Mr, Simpson was over- whelmed with confusion, but his presence of mind rallied to his rescue. “IT requested,” he said smilingly, “that you would kindly ss me the beans.” With a swift and radiant softening of her expression Miss Beaconboomer handed him the dish he called for, and Mr. Simpson knew by the tell-tale blush on her cheek and the mellowed light of her specs that he had redeemed himself in her eyes. FAITHFUL FRIENDS. Eleanor and Leila had been forbidden to slide down the balusters. Circumstantial evidence in the way of sundry deep and un- sightly scratches on the hard wood almost convicted the mischievous two of dis- obedience, but when questioned each re- fused to confess herself guilty or to inform on the other. Their grandmother lectured, coaxed, com- manded thee to tell, but not a word would they say about it, and finally the pious woman told them to confess it to the Lord when they said their prayers. That night Leila, in one part of the house, Knelt to say her prayers. After the “Now I lay me” had been devoutly mur- mured there was a moment’s silence. ‘‘Dear Lord,’’ she continued, ‘“‘Thou that rulerst everything knows all about the bannystairs, and so, Oh, Lord, thy servant wilt not trouble you with no more worry about it.”’ Eleanor, in another room, raced through her prayers with customary railroad speed, and, without a moment’s hesitancy, finished up with: “And now, Sir, dat’s all I got to say. Amen.” The scratched balusters is still an un- solved problem.

A Missouri Don Quixote and His Queer Globe-Trotting Expedition. He Must Dress as an Ancient Knight and Wear a Sword. The Conditions Under Which the Stern Parent VVill Consent to His Marriage With His Daughter. In evidence of the profound truthfulness of the remark once made by the illustrious Bir John Lubbock, that “Love defies dis- tance and the elements,’”’ we have but to call attention to the case of one of the most ambitious, heroic young men of America— Mr. T. Allen McQuary, a resident of the State of Missouri. This young lover-hero has taken upon himself the arduous task of making a trip, on horseback, around the world, for the privilege of marrying the girl of his heart’s choice—the beautiful young daughter of a rich planter of Arkansas. Mr. McQuary is now at Mountain Grove, Mo., a quiet, thrifty little city of Wright County, about half way between Kansas City, Mo., and Memphis, Tenn,, on the line of K. C., F. 8S. & G. Railroad. It is here probably he is making the longest stop of any place through which he will travel, while making the circuit of the world, from the fact that he is obliged to earn, by “hon- orable means,” sufficient funds with which to purchase a horse, saddle, bridle and quite an extensive costume for himself, as per the stipulations of the conditions to which he must comply before he can make the trip in the prescribed manner. The original of this unique project of which Mr. McQuary finds himself the chief central figure of attraction, is of a very romantic nature; in fact, the whole affair, when told in. the plainest, every-day common English, based solely upon the truth, without a sin- xle exaggeration, almost puts to rout the best work of a modern literary genius in his strongest efforts to produce something in fiction of a really romantic, soul stirring character! In the spring of '96 Mr. McQuary disposed of the Rustler printing plant in Neosho, Mo., where he had lived for fourteen years— seven of which had been spent in the print- ing business—and went South for his health, as well as to look up a new business loca- tion. At a smal! place about forty-five miles from Little Rock, Ark., he became acquaint ed with the young daughter of a wealthy planter, and as time went by the two be- came everilastingly and irretrievably infat- vated with one another, and concluded that the best thing to do under the circumstances would be to get married. The young lady was the only child of this planter; and to make her more than ever dear to him In his old age was the sad fact that the mother died when the girl was born. The old gentle- man was true to the love he had vowed to his first and only wife, and had never again married. was asked to consent to the match he sternly, though kindly, refused to listen to such a proposal. Why? Be- cause his child was only 16 years of age and the two lovers, he sa‘d, were not thoroughly enough acquainted with one an- other to warrant such a solemn undertak- ing. He did not. absolutely refuse them, but sternly gave them to understand there was “‘time enough yet.’’ The couple, of course, were yet encouraged, despite the father’s refusal to consent to a speedy marriage, and as time glided by, Mr. Me- Quary became more, intimately acquainted w'th the old gentleman; and oftimes there- after he would spend hor after hour. in the old gentleman’s reading-room, talking and reading about many of the by-gone days of this and other countries. The old gentleman would often on these occasions throw out the idea that the young men of the present generation were not as brave and heroic as were those of h‘'s earlier days. Mr. McQuary, of course, stood up manfully for the boys of to-day by assur- ing the old fellow that no such opportunil- ties now presented themselves for our bova to show their ‘“‘prit,’’ etc., etc., and finally, one day, clinched his argument by assert- ing that he would gladly avai! himself of any such opportunity to exhibit his heroie propensities if by so doing he could only get permission to marry the girl he was so anxious to make his wife. He realized later the expense of the remark, when the old gentleman confronted h'm with a writ- ten document and stated that he was going to test his earnestness in the matter: jt was then he told Mr. McQuary he could marry his daughter in eighteen months, provided that he would, tn the meantime, carry out the condit'ons stipulated in the or of which the following is a true y: Conditions, by the exact fulfillment of which you shall be rewarded by the hand of my daughter in marriage, and the sum of $5,000.00 on your return if the trip he made within the limited time—eighteen months, commencing May 19, 1897.

Wishing you ‘success, I am respectfully, Subscribed and sworn to before me, this public will necessarily have to remain in ignorance of the planter’s and notary’s names, as well as their place of residence, but Mr. McQuary cheerfully refers any one who entertains the least doubt of genuine- ness of the affair, to write a personal letter ment is & prominent attorney of that up the It is well to remark here that the named in the conditions, was added +. ie document after the old gentleman tested the sttength of the young man’s love for his daughter—and ending that Mr. McQuary Was not to baffied, he then named that amount as just reward.

On being asked how he came to form the acquaintance of the young lady, he replied, with a twinkle of delight at the opportunity of en aging in conversation concerning the ‘jewel of his heart:’’ “Well, sir. she is the only daughter of a wealthy widowed cotton —— residin some fifty or sixty miles from the Little Rock. was a travelin man at the time, and made the cotton farm oftener than any other point on the road —and wasn’t buyin cotton, either; but rather dealing in futures tn calico.” “Did you get any orders?” ‘Yes: orders to stay off the plantation; but the old gentleman became more recon- oot later, and we had some good times to- gether.” , “You say your home !s in Missour!?” “Yes, ant have Hved at Neosho for four- teen years. My father, A. L. McQuary, fs owner of some valuable property there; is known throughout the State as-a minister of the Christian Church; is a personal friend of Mr. Garrison of St. uis, editor of the Christian Evangelist; he was employed by the State Board for two years as traveling evangelist; and held numerous big meetings all over Missouri. My mother is as fine a lady as ever lived, and will know nothing of my undertaking until she reads it in the newspapers. I have an uncle by the name of James McQuary at Bolivar, Mo., and a sister and brother at home. Iam the oldest one of the children. They will all be thunder- struck, as it were, when they learn o what I am about to do.” ‘Then you really intend to carry out the deal?’’ “Yes, sir, by the help of God Almighty, I will fill it to the very letter. God Himself | is ‘love,’ and I believe he ts with me in this undertaking, and with him nothing is im possible.” ‘‘How old do you say the young lady is?” “Just 16% years of age.” : : “Rather young to marry, isn’t she?’ P ‘Her father thought so, but we didn’t; however, girls at 16 in the South, as a rule will compare favorably with those from 17 to 18 in the North in regard to womanhood. She’s ase sweet a girl as you ever saw; small, but perfect in build, dark hair and eyes—and oh! they can look so sad! I will never forget that parting glance as I took the train for this place—I felt as though I could go around this world and two or three more if necessary to win such a jewel! Well, I haven’t succeeded yet in ewallowing the lump that gathered in my throat, but it may come in handy some- time when I haven't anything else to swal- low. The night before I left we were stand- ing at the well and I had told her ‘good- night’ several times, when she deliberately and calmly drew from the folds of her dress bosom a piece of glittering steel, and I beheld a beautiful specimen of a Spanish dagger. ‘Allen,’ she said, ‘do you see this knife?’ To which I replied in the affirmative, as I took the weapon from her. ‘Should anything happen to you on your journey,’ she continued, ‘I'll be with you in a world where we can love each other al- ways, and I intend to wear it until your return, for to me it is liberty from y to the President of the irst National earthly confinement, and if we can’t live plan end, way, or have action? li, 1 unavoidable on — all business direct from hi There are various m expect to soprttaanery — with Me ich te =n He will, by time to time during my Mr term; and an all tious, self-reliant young man who agrees wi once said: be “Do you to travel from ’ town, catching town iat ye keer saaaen He either fears his fate too much, Or his deserts ese That dares not To gain or | tain Grove, Mo., and her father and hundreds o friends, to witness ceremony that possibly ever this country. are sm ut it to it all At New York City he will be rl and her father met th i likewise again at will be m She giri srandent ‘olaien took placé ja touch —— —— —— —eE— sce ete gf ,02 —_ , * JAMES LANE ALLEN.

But the fact is, true poetry, of the unrhymed sort, is interwoven through this simple story of John Gray and the early backwoods times in Kentucky. Introducing his readers, for example, to the first log school house of the town, the author thus apostrophizes the spot: “Poor old school house, long since be- come scattered to ashes! Poor little back- woods academicians, driven in about sun- rise, driven out toward dusk! Poor little tired backs, with nothing to lean against! Poor little bare feet, that could never reach the Noor! Poor little droop-headed figures eo sleepy in the long summer days, so afrai to fall asleep! Long, long since, little chil- dren of the past, your backs have become traight enough, measured on the same cool bed: sooner or iater your feet, wherever wandering, have found their last resting laces in the soft earth; and all your droop- ng heads have gone to sleep on the same dreamiess pillow and there are sleeping. And the young echoolmaster, who seemed ex. empt from frailty while he guarded like a eentinel that lone outpost of the alphabet— he, too, has long since joined the choir in- visible of the immorta! dead." Mr. Allen, however, does not weary his long diversions from the narra- tive, e has written a charming, tender love story, and the setting of backwoods ! conte adds to ita charm. It ie a tale more interested in and touched by such a love than by the successful.courtship and the serene and faithful married life? It seems to be the general opinion of the critics that In James Lane Allen the South has developed a novelist whose place is alongside of Nathaniel Hawthorne. (New York: MacMillan & Co.) o o A work of far more than ordinary inter- est, from the pen of the gifted Australian novelist, EB. . Hornung, {s entitled, “My Lord Duke,”’ The story ranges from an En- glish ducal palace to the Australian bush and back again. The narrative has the merit, unusual in latter-day novels, of dis- laying but few characters, but each actor n the scenes rtrayed, is of a distinctive type. Their foibles, emotions and traits, bad and good, sre sharply outlined. The story is a clean one, not unusual! in its conception, and is well told. The work ig certain to meet with a popular reception and will un- doubtedly enhance the reputation of its talented Antipodean author. It is a story that would stage well.

G.vves for use in husking corn are made with a steel point inside the palm to pro- ject out beyond the forefinger and rip the huskg open. A window shade which !s adjustable at the top as well as the bottom, is hung on two cords, which wind up on spring drums at the ends of the roller, the shade being raised and lowered as usual. A newly-patented fishpole has a reversi- ble butt with both ends hollowed out to re- ceive the first joint of the rod, so it can be turned to bring the reel above or below the grip for the hand. The combination of a dust pan and mouse trap, recently invented, has a hinged top rojecting over the — which can be set y a spring catch an released by means of a lever on which bait is fixed. In a recently-patented roller bearing for vehicles the rollers are set at an angle in the cups and the cones can be drawn to- gether by a wrench, thus making them cap- able of adjustment like ball bearings. A new fire escape for use in hotels and large buildings is formed of a large cush- ioned chair with a box In the seat under the cushion containing a rope ladder to be attached to the chair and hung out of the window. To cool beer and other liquids the barrel or reservoir from which they are to -be drawn is connected with a coil of pipes run- ning into a chamber and around a cake of ice, with the faucet at the other end of the ipe. P ito prevent the thread on a spool from un- winding faster than it is needed, a circle of spring wire is slipped over the spool to hold it tightly, with an eyelet on one side, through which the thread passes as it unwinds. An improved punctureless armor for pneu- matic tires has arc-shaped scales attached to the tread of the tédre Just inside the outer fabric, with flanges on one edge of the scales to overlap the straight edge of the next scale. Boats for use in hunting and fishing are now being built with a movable pit or well, to be raised or lowered in the boat to form a blind for the hunters, the top of the blind being low enough when not in use to permit the use of the oars. In a newly patented letter press the presser plate and screw are mounted on a hinged yoke attached to the bed of the press so that the yoke can be turned down after the screw is tightened to further inerease the pressure on the copying book. A new toy to amuse the children consists of a smal) balloon hung OM a@ rod attached to the ceiling over @ stove or lamp, the balloon rising as it becomes full of hot air, and descending as the air cools, to pe filled again and returned to the celling. For use in holding @ screw in position while it is started into the wood or metal, a wire loop, having a circle of wire at the end to hold the head of the screw, is slipped onto the shank of the screw-driver, thus bringing the head of the screw In position. Burglar alarms are being manufactured for use on bicycles, the device consisting of a bell surrounding a clock mechanism at- tached to the frame, with 4 lever project. ing in line with the spokes in the back wheel to spring the alarm when the whee! is purpose of etPn to be weed removing it from pivoted arm is screwed te the, side of the telephone with a joint in the center and a wicker basket at the outer end in which the receiver rests. new improvement in the use of in- candescent mantles on gas burners has a number of circular hoods with fringed edges projecting over the edge of a metal disk, under ich is a perforated pipe through which the gas flows to be ignited as it reaches the fringed hoods. A new penholder forcibly ejects the pen from the holder by pressing with the thumb on a corrugated cam pivoted in the under side of the holder to turn in as the pen is placed in position and clamp it fast, the action of pressing the thumb toward the opposite end forcing the pen out with the carn, To automatically open and close elevator doors a piston rod placed in a cylinder is attached to each door to hold it shut by the pressure of liquid or air in the cylinder, a lever lying in position to be raised or lowered by the elevator to re- lieve the pressure on the piston, so the door can open by gravity. A new electric arc lamp has the carbon points mountel on two sliding frames at- tached to rods on opposite sides of the lamp, the frames being fastened together in such a manner as to keep the two carbon points always in the center of a nearly air- tight golbe, thus producing a strong light and keeping insects out. new device for use in fire stations con- sists of an oil torch set in the floor under the fire-box of the engine, with an electric igniter at one side of the wick connected with the signaling apparatus to auto- matically light the fuel in the engine as s00n as the alarm is sent in, the torch being ex- tinguished by the engine as it rolls out of the station. A newly-designed safety brake for baby carriages is formed of a pivoted L-shaped member attached to the frame of the wagon near the rim of one of the rear wheels, with a rod running up to a thumb-lever on the handle of the carriage, so that a slight pressure of the thumb will lock the wheel. In a new automatic tire inflater for bicy- cle tires the pump is attached to a spoke near the valve with the piston rod extend- ing nearly to the hub of the wheel, to be raised and lowered by a lever projecting over the end of the hub to engage the frame as the wheel revolves, thus keepin air in the tire while being ridden, even i there is a puncture. A new pedal for racing wheels is made of a spring wire frame wound around the spindle on the crank, with the ends bent Over to eupport a flat rubber or perforated steel plate on which the sole of the rider’s shoe rests, the foot being held in place by the usual toe clip and a pair of auxillary — clips to engage the edges of the shoe sole. To prevent the ocean from dr'ving the sand off a beach in winter and thus under- mining boardwalks the top of the walk is pivoted on the rear set of piles, the front rows of piles being either hinged or re- movable so that the outer edge of the walk can be dropped down into the water to break the force of the waves and keep them from striking the beach. new lacing hook for shoes which will prevent the lacing from coming Poodse and yet make it easily removable by the wearer consists of a round bal! set in a metal socket with a groove in one side of the ball, resting normally flush with an eyelet in the socket into which the lace is yy and pulled to one side to turn the ball far enough to close the eyelets and hold the cord. Cashiers of banks and corporations who handle large sums of money dally are to be protected by means of a newly patented window, which consists of a steel plate hung over the window on pulleys, with the ropes reaching down to the floor, where they con- nect with a lever which can = by the foot to drop the window instantly when- ever there is danger without the action be- ing seen by an outsider. An automatically registered barrel ele- vator recently invented is composed of two endless chains running over pulleys placed a short distance apart, with curved arms at- tached to the chains to project outward and catch a barrel as it is rolled onto the elevator from any floor of the bullding, the register consisting of a lever projecting in line with the barrel as it passes to operate & mechanism having figures on its dial Fish That Commit Suicide.

There are times in the lives of all men that the need of comfort and assistance in time of trouble is badly felt; when a false move will place their fate, as it were, in If you look at the Psalms of David you will find him con- tinually asking for guidance and help in time of trouble, For food thought this week, then, I take this for my subject and will endeavor to show that there is reason in the fact that we can tell by the planetary aspects who are our friends and whe our For this, as a starter, I would say that those who have many enemies can tell at a glance (if they are sensitive) who will befriend and who injure them.
