TAKES BACK WHAT SHE SAID. Strange Explanation Given by a Mar- ried Woman of Why She Left Her Husband. — Se eee This is a story of love, hypnotism, marital infelicity and reconciliation. The principals were Mr. and Mrs. Gustav H. Kuhnert of 2314 South Broadway. The Kuhnerts will soon embark on the sea of matrimony for the second time if Mrs. Kuhnert is humble enough in her apologies and retractions, She must take back all the hard things she said about Gus during the six weeks they have been separated and comply with other conditions set forth in a written agreement. Above all things she must keep herself out of range of the hypnotic influence which both she and her husband believe caused all their troubles. Mrs. Kuhnert is dark-eyed and handsome and prior to her marriage about a year ago, lived with her mother, Mrs. Minnie Stoehnert, at 2210 Hebert street. Kuhnert has a lucrative position as Mas- ter Machinist for the Fink Granite Milling Company. Mrs. Kuhnert was very penitent when she told the story of her matrimonial troubles to a Post-Dispatch reporter. “We were married on April 28, 1896." she said, “and went to live in a pretty home at 2314 South Broadway. We had each saved up a little money. We furnished our home n we f and were very happy until a change, which I cannot now understand, came over me, , “My husband was steady and very kind to me and I had causeto be proud of him and was until three months ago. “About that time my sister Laura began visiting us. She is a peculiar girl and al- ways had a strange influence over me, even when 1 was living at home before my mar- riage. “She never liked Mr. Kuhnert. I don’t ‘know that she ever said or did anything that made me believe this but some way I just felt that it was so: “When she-woduld visit us I would always think of my husband's little faults, real or imaginary, and would: brood about them after she haf left. when she made remarks about my husband it seeme me fhat I had thought of the same thinge@ust before she spoke. “She had'‘madé a good many visits before she openly fotind fault with Mr. Kuhnert. She made remarks that I would have re- sented had any one else made them. But I seemed powerless to reply to her. Six weeks ago our house was robbed. My Watch and some other jewelry were stolen. I reported the matter to the police. ‘The next Gay my sister called at the house. She told me that my husband must have taken the jewelry. l had never thought of such a thing, but I believed my eister blindly. “Laura told me she would give me $100 and a gold watch if I would leave my hus- band and go back to mother. “Nearly all the furniture in the house be- longed to me. One day. while Mr. Kueh- nert was at work, I moved our household effects to mother's house and left my hus- band. “Laura's influence over me was still strong, and I pushed the investigation of the robbery, thinking all along that I would find my husband guiey. “I had been at home only a short time when Laura told me she was going to get married and would like to buy my furni- ture. I sold her the furniture very cheap. Now she's married to a man named bchucst, She has a husband and is using my furni- ture, and I—well, I’m living at home with my mother. I guess they've given me the bag to hold. “IT have found out that all of my suspl- cions about my husband were unfounded. I know that he did not take my jewelry and I know I have been very foolieh i know my sister hypnotized me. Now that she is married she has no influence over me. Sten am eee hoes -* live with my husband. © says he w orgive me if I undo injury I did him.’’ oO Mr. Kuhnert has drawn up the following agreement, which Mrs. Kuhnert has signed: Mrs. Minnie Kuhnert, tn the presence of her brother, Fred Stoehnert, desires to ive back the good reputation of her hus- and. She ie sorry she did wrong and spoke wrong about her husband. She takes back every blame she put on him. She acknowledges that her mind was controlled by other persons, especialiy by her sister Laura, who undermined her — Since she was married.

He hails from Riga in Russia, has Asia afoot, took steamer to Seattie, - aw . % *. F r Washington (On the few occasions ° left went town. He Riga on Aug. 2, 1894, and to Austof ‘on the River Don, then over the Caucasus to Talis, thence into Persia to Teheran. The hardest part of his trip was through Siberia. Rengartner in- tends to walk to the Atlantic seaboard. He pays his own expenses, writes for sev- eral Russian papers and is not walking on a wager. STANDARD OIL PROFITS. Ten Million Dollars Being Disiributed at New York. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 15.—The regular quar- terly dividend of 3 per eent, together with an extra dividend of 7 per cent, upon the stock of the Standard Oil Company, became payable at the general offices of the com- seaport pany in this city to-day. This means the distribution of $10,000,000 to the sharehold- ers of the corporation. During the fiscal year the company has paid 31 per cent, and, including the present dividend, 20 per cent has been declared so‘far this year. OHIO DEMOCRATS. A Free Silver Wave Rolling Over the State That Promises a Great Victory. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 15.—So great are the chances for an overwhelming Democratic victory in Ohio this year, says James Cree!l- man in the Journal, that twenty-eight can- didates for Governor are now in the field. The real struggle has narrowed down to five men, Horace L. Chapman of Jackson, John Welty of Hillsboro, R. T. Hough of Canton, Allen W. Smalley of Upper San- dusky, and Allen W. Thurman of Colum- bus. There is no chance at all for Paul J. Sorg, the millionaire of Middletown, He was in Europe during the last campaign. He voted for gold bonds in Congress, and he championed the financial policy of Mr. Cleveland, The free silver men say that it would be stultification of the party to nominate Mr. Sorg. So far John R. McLean has swept the field, There is some opposition to him mm the Populists, and some among the old Democrats, but unless something un- i colibc happens, Mr. McLean will suc- ceed Mark Hanna if a Democratic Legisla- ture is elected this year. It is said that every candidate for the Governorship is in favor of McLean. The chairman of the State Convention will be Ulrich Sloan, who presented Mr. McLean’s name to the Chicago Convent on. The wave of Bryanism that is sweeping through Qhio just now is astonishing. Mr. Bryan is absolutely ‘dolized, and the pow- er and prestige of his name grow as the story of the industrial and agricultura) muis- ery spreads. CLEVELAND RETIRES. Stated That He Will Not Engage in Public Life Again. NEW YORK, June 15,—It is announced On the authority of one of the ex-President’s most intimate friends, that Grover Cleve- land will not again engage actively in the practice of law, and that he w'!l not di- rectly connect himself with big law firms, es has been reported. This same _ close friend says that the ex-President has re- tired permanently from an active career and will hereafter be heard of only through the medium of addresses on public occa- sions. BAND OF DESPERADOES. Ready to Rob an Express Train or a Paymaster. SAIL.T LAKE, Utah, June 15,—The Tribune this morning prints a story to the effect that a party of desperadoes from the noto- rious “‘Robbers’ Roost,’’ in Southern Utah, have gone to Wyoming, and are now lo- cated at Wamsutter, a small station east of Rock Springs, it is claimed, to hold up the Union Pacific express train, or else to rob the paymaster of the Sweet Water mines, who is due at Rock Springs, Satur- day next, with a large sum of money. The Union Pacific Company has put a large force of armed guards on all trains between Ogden and Cheyenne. NIGCIPLE OF BOB INGERSOLL _ WALTER LEROY CHOSE BETWEEN DEATH AND PAIN. SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD. Boy Saw Him Making Deliberate Prep- arations for Death, but Wes Too Late to Stop Him. Walter Leroy spent the last two days figuring Out a problem that was fast wor- rying him into a skeleton. He snoke of his troubles to one or two people, but they were not over sympa- thetic and he reached a conclusion at mid- night Monday. He decided with Robert G. Ingersoll that suicide was not a sin; that the conditions of his own life were like those described by the famous pagan when he declared there were times when it was “sweet and just for the pain-racked body to seek its right- ful resting-place on the soft, cool bosom of our mother earth.”’ Leroy slep: until daylight before carry- ing out his determination. He slept until 7 o'clock in his room, No. 30, it was, at the South House, Broadway and. Clark avenue.

In the Meantime Consideration of the Reciprocity Provision Will Be Delayed. ————z;, WASHINGTON, June 15.—The treaty for the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States will be sent to the Senate by President McKinley to-morrow unless present plans are changed. Men close to the administration, and others who are engaged in pushing through the tariff bill, have been informed that the treaty will be transmitted to the Senate to-morrow and it is stated that there will be no con- sideration of the Hawaiian reciprocity provision in the tariff bill until the treaty is recelved, The one point of importance in which the treaty differs from the convention negotl- ated by Secretary Foster in President Harri- con’s administration, is the omission of any grovisres for ex-Queen Liliuokalani and tne rncess Kaiulani. In the original treaty It was provided that the government of the United States should pay the ex-Queen the sum of $20,000 cash and the same amount of money as a pension each year during the re- mainder of her natural life, provided she, in good faith, submitted to the Government of the United States and the local government of the islands. The Princess Kaliulani be:ng the next in line of royal blood, was to re- ceive a cash payment of $150,000, but no pension, under a similar proviso as in the case of the ex-Queen. It is understood that any objection that (might have been expected to the annexa- by Hanna’s promise to give the Marshal- | tion of the islands based on the large pro- ship for the Eastern District to Richard W. Austin of Knoxville as a reward for serv- ces, Austin is a carpet-bagger who moved into Tennessee from Alabama after being de- feated for Congress by Gen. Joe Wheeler about four years ago. He was popularly supposed to have the handling of some of the Ohio man’s boodle fund. He has had very little backing at home in his candidacy, Representative Gibson of the Knoxvillé district is making a strong fight against him and Commissioner of Pensions Evans hae filed a vigorous protest. Former Con- gressman Houk and a majority of the Congressional committees in the district have written to the President in protest. hese gentlemen have received no as- surance that their wishes will be coneid- ered. Mark Hanna, when:asked why he per- sisted in thrusting Austin upon the party, grew angry. “It belongs to him for services rendered,”’ he said bluntly, “and I am going to have him appointed,” Former Congreseaman Houk has filed an affidavit making serious charges against Austin, and this, with other documentary evidence, w'll be placed before the Presi- dent and the Attorney-General. THE PARTY IS SPLIT. Republican Wrangle at Chillicothe Seems Irreparable. W. D. Leeper of Chillicothe, Democratic member of the House of Representatives Mr. Leeper is less than 30 years of age, yet he has been prominent in politics since he Shortiy after he attained his major'ty he was elected Mayor of Chillicothe—a town of 7,000 population. “We are having considerable excitement at Chillicothe,’”’ sa'd Mr. Leeper, “on ac- count of the Republican disturbance about Government patronage. The fact that C. A, Loomis is charged with trading on his in- fluence in securing post-offices has brought about a wrangle between the opposing fac- t'ons that will enrgped sy | injure the Re- publican party, not only in our county but throughout the district. “So far as I know Mr. Loomis {ts a good man—I always regarded him as such—and am not undertaking to say that he is ullty of the accusations made against him. lowever, the fact remains that the wrangle is an mb ag ny one. “Loomis has friends as well as enemies, The Filley people are doing atl they can against him and are heralding the charges everywhere, while the Kerens faction stands solid for Loomis, denying that he is guilty of selling his influence with the ad- ministration. We have two Republican newspapers in Chillicothe. One of them is for Loomis, the other ts against him.” Mr. Leeper says there is no longer any doubt that Dr. A, M. Dockery, the present member of Congress from the Third Dis- trict, w.ll be a candidate for Governor. H's campaign is now in the incipient stage, Mr. Leeper says, and he predicts that the race will be a warm one, Mr, Leeper is in St. Louis on private business and will return to Chillicothe Tuesday night. HIGHWAYMEN AT LARGE. No Clew to the Three Men Who Held Up George Meyer. Three men who entered the saloon and grocery of George Meyer at Webster avenue and Thomas street. at 11 o’clock Monday night, and with drawn revolvers made the proprietor turn over the day’s receipts, are still at large. Detectives Brady and Guion and a number of Capt. Peter Joyce’s policemen have been actively at work on the case since the af- fair was reported, but at noon Tuesday they had no clew to the identity of the bold highwaymen, Meyer was counting up the day’s business when three young men, strangers to him, entered. When he looked up he saw the gleaming barrels of three revolvers bearing directly on him. A.stern voice commanded him to hold up his hands and make no out- lery. Meyer realized that resistance was useless, and when he was commanded to turn over his money he promptly complied. There was $40 in the drawer. Then, with their guns still leveled on Meyer they backed out of the door. They ran east on Thomas street and dis- appeared. Meyer can give only a meagre description of the robbers. He says they are young men, EMPLOYMENT FOR IDLE MEN. —_———-+ Employes on the M., K. & T. Will Work Full Time. | Spectal to the Post-Dispatch.

Despite the mild thunder storm and the light rain Monday night the weather was not much cooler than on the preceding three days. Though the flurry of wind upset Forecas- tor Hrankenfleld's calculations somewhat he till contends that there is no relief in sight from the prevailing high temperature. Do you see this map?” he said Tuesday morning. “Notice the word ‘high’ written in big blue letters right across the Gulf of Mexico. As long as that remains on the map there won't be a chance for cooler weather. It means that the bafometer is 80 high down around the gulf that even the judicious expenditure of a government ap- ropriation couldn’t bring it down. Bulla. ng jetties and things like that is easy com- poses with tussling with a refractory barom- eter. *‘Though the weather everywhere is slight- ly cooler this morning it is still warm. It was 76 degrees here at 7 o’clock, and the same at Chicago. It was hotter in only one city, Jacksonville, Fla., where it was $0. “At 9 o’clock the thermometer here regis- tered 8, and was still on the jump. “The rain yesterday evening did little good. The fall was only .02 inches. These people that try to get up a scare about every wind that strikes the town make me tired. Last ~y dy wind was a very tame affair. At its best it traveled only twenty- five miles an hour. “We may_expect thunderstorms at any time now. When they will come or how in- tense they will be we can not tell. They are the most elusive things the weather bureau has to contend with. “It looks very much, though, as if that magic word ‘high’ will remain on the map fur several days, at least.’’ a BARRACKS APPROPRIATION. Those Interested in Other Posts May Oppose It Strongly. Advices from Washington say that Con- gressmen !nterested in the improvement of army posts in their distNcts are protesting against the appropriation of $76,000 for the improvement of Jefferson Barracks. They have pret made the unpleasant discovery that $46,000 of the entire sum of $76,000 must — out of the appropriations for the other The matter appears to be finally settled, however, and the St. Louis members are confident that the er. will now stand.

WEYLER TO BE WITHDRAWN. It Is Said the President Has Been Un- officially Informed to That Effect. CHICAGO, June 16.—A dAispatch to the Record from Washington, D. C., says: Un- less Gen. Weyler is withdrawn soon and there 1s a change in the policy of the Span- ish Government, so far as the treatment of non-combatants is concerned, the President of the United States will indicate to Spain in forcible and unmistakable language the displeasure with which he views the atroc- ities practiced upon the helpless pacificos of Cuba and the suffering that follows their concentration in fortified towns. Just what form this remonstrance will take has not yet been decided by the officiais of the State Department, who now have the matter un- der consideration. The President has been unofficially in- formed that Weyler is to be withdrawn and conciliatory ‘tactics are to be pursued. If such is the sace, the whole aspect of the eituation will be changed, and peace may be restored,by granting complete autonomy, without the interference of this Govern- ment. But, if Weyler is permitted to re- main itn Cu as Capta'n-General, the Pres- ident, it is believed, will feel compelled, in the interest of humanity, to notify Spain that the non-combatants must not be con- centrated in small cities, where they cannot obtain sufficient food and medical treat- ment, where they are exposed to yeliow fever and other ravaging diseases and suf- fer untold hardships. NEW ORAFT FOR CUBA, Cigar-Shaped Vessel Which Can Make Twenty-nine Miles an Hour. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LOCKPORT, N. Y., June 1.—A cigar- shaped craft, 52 feet long, has passed through the locks en route to New York, where it is to be turned over to the Cuban Junta. She is to be. christened ‘The Maceo.” The shell ts of thin, tough rolled eteel. The propelling power is steam, and the fuel is crude petroleum and bituminous coal. The escaping steam is condensed and then discharged Into the water. In an official test recently made in Lake Erie the boat made about twenty-nine miles an hour, and is guaranteed to make twenty- eight. She will be used mainly in protect- ing filfbustering expeditions and for dy- namiting the Spanfsh vesesls and forts. COMPETITOR CREW. A Cuban Lawyer Volunteers to Act as Their Counsel. NEW YORK, June 15.—A dispatch to the Journal from Havana says that Capt. La Porie and other members of the Com- petitor expedition, whose re-trial has been fixed for July 1, have selected Senor Mez Dominguez, a well-known Cuban member of the Havana bar, as counsel to appear in their defense. Though the fact of his ac- ceptance of their case may cause Weyler to order his deportation to Chafrinos, or Fernando, as happened in the cases of other counsel here daring to defend Ameri- cans before a Spanish gourt, Dominguez has taken up the defense of the Competitor men without promise or hope of remuneration. THE GRAND-LEADER’S _ Great Removal Sale Prior to Removing ‘ Into Their Fine New Store Is a Rec- ord Maker. Five minutes after the doors were opened - wpon this most remarkable and phenomena! gale yesterday morning, the Grand-Leader was crowded. Monday was surely a gaia day at this popular house, for the writer, who started to enter the estore about 10:30 yesterday morning, found it tmpossible to got in, so crowded were al] the doorways. riends who availed themselves of the truly great bargains that the Grand-Leader is giving during this greatest sale of its short ife, tell us that the inviting store, was literally packed nearly all day long. This is as it should be, however, for their aim is to close out their vast stock at any price—cost or even loss not being consid- ered—and open up the new Grand-Leader with a brand new stock. Judging by the wide interest already taken In the ogonins of their new store at Broadway and Wasn. ington, it will surely be a great local event. “The remarkable growth of this pains- taking house,”’ said an appreciative lady in the great threng yesterday, “is largely due to the emery low prices at which . they have sold good goods since the first day the Grand-Leader opened its doors— such a house deserves success.’’ The Post- Dispatch will tell of the Grand-Leader’s grandly successful sale from day to day.

HE PARRTES ALL QUESTIONS. Asserts That He Was Starving, Yet He Had Money in His Pocket. The young man who shot himself at the Lindell boulevard entrance to Forest Park is dying at the City Hospital. The bullet entered the right eye, passed through the brain and came out at the back of the head. Hospital surgeons, nurses, a priest, a de- tective and several reporters have en- deavored to learn who he is, but all ef- forts In this direction have proven futile. To Rev. Fr. McEriane, 8. J., of St. Francis Xavier’s he said Tuesday morning: “If I am going to die I would like to be bap- tized.’’ The priest asked him some questions, but he parried them. He always replied, but generally the answers bore no relation to the subject introduced ~~ the priest. Fi- nally the father left the bedside, saying he would soon return and perform the request- ed services. “Won't you tell me you name?’ asked a Post-Dispatch reporter. “Edward Doling,’’ he said, slowly, then added: “O, my head! I wish it were off, It is so big. Won't somebody bring me some water?’ “Doling, who would you like to have sent for?’’ “Some water.’’ “But what person? Have you no friends in St. Louis?” He shook h'‘s bandaged head. The cloth was wound firmly as low as the bridge of the nose. He cannot see. He tried to tear EDWARD DOLING. away the ro]l that bound his head, but an attendant restrained him. “Where are your relatives?’ asked. ‘“T have none.” A moment later he aalid: “I want something to eat. he was I am starv- é “Didn't you have anything to eat yester- ay?” “The day before?’ “No ” ‘“‘When did you eat last?’ ‘IT don’t remember.” The hospital doctors bear this out. They say the young man was starving when he was brought in. Yet he had 60 cents In his ocket, and the revolver with which he shot imself would have brought a dollar from any pawnbroker. This mysterious person, whose attempt at suicide yesterda was related inthe 6 o’clock edition of Monday’s Post-Dispatch, was dressed in good clothing that bore the marks of St. Louls houses, card found in a pocket had the inscription: ‘‘The bearer is Edward L. Doling of Terre Haute, Ind. In case of accident notify ‘yp, The name had been erased. When taken to the City Hospital Monday the man appear*d unconscious, but later ad- mitted he had been feigning. He persisted while on the operating table that his name was Carroll and also that someone had shot him. He gave several addresses in St. Louls, saying friends could be found at those places, but investigation proved he was not telling the truth. He continued his method of baffling ques- tioners Tuesday morning. All that is known is that he {ts about 2 years of age, is of sinewy build, but emaci- ated from lack of food; has large ears. thick @& prominent nose and is smooth shaven. The doctors believe he tried to commit —— by starvation, then used the re- volver. Only $5 to Chicago and Return.

MONUMENT FOR JULIUS LEHMAN Free Bath Statesman May Be Honored by the Assembly. Delegate Julius Lehman of the House of | Delegates hied himself to O’Fallon Park in quest of cooling breezes Sunday after- noon. He stood:on the crest of the hill, and gazed at the pleasing prospect. His esthetic soul was stirred. “When 1 die,”” he mused, “I want to be buried here, in sight of the lights on the Water Tower and the _ swiftly-flowing Father of Waters.” Monday he was about the City Hall and modestly repeated his wish in the hearing of Delegate Watson. Mr. Watson was moved. He immediately drew up an ordi- nance, which he will introduce in the House Tuesday evening. It will provide that “in recognition of the distinguished public services of Julius Leh- man, the Eighteenth Ward statesman, who put the Ights on the Water Tower and worked without ceasing for free bath houses, that a plot of ground two fret wide, six feet long and six feet deep be set apart on the hill in O'Fallon Park for the last resting place of said Julius Lehman.” Section 2 provides for the purchase by the city of a granitoid monument suitably in- scribed with the private virtues and public services of the deceased. Section 3 will provide that unless the or- dinance is carried out in all its requirements within 30 days it will become null and void. William Brockway Is a Patient in the City Hospital. Wm.

PRESIDENT COSTE APPROVES OF SECRET MEETINGS. ALL COMMITTEES IN PRIVATE. A Number of Offices to Be Filled at the Tuesday Night Session of the Board. The Reform School Board will hold a meet- ing Tuesday night in the Board of Educa- tion building. It is expected to be an exceedingly interest- ing session, as the question of filling the offices will then be finally determined as to a number of them. The unfilled positions are those of secretary and treasurer, audi- tor, building commissioner and supply com- missioner. A prolonged meeting of the board was held Monday afternoon, behind closed doors, to caucus over the distribution of the pa- tronage, but conclusions were reached in only a few instances. At Tuesday night’s session the rules that are to govern the board will be presented for discussion and adoption. One of the rules, possibly unwritten, is that all com- mittee meetings shall be executive, except in cases where the public presence is deemed necessary, and that nothing occur- ring in the committee shall be divulged until report is made to the board. Speaking of this star-chamber method of transacting the business of the public, Pres- id-nt Paul F. Coste said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “We have agreed that the committee meetings shall be held in secret. Commit- tees are merely the agents of the board, and have no right to g.ve publicity to their actions until they make report. “What about the public?’ was asked, “The public will have its 4 ete in the open sessions of the board. Besides, the board has been entrusted by the people with certain powers and duties, which we must meet in the most efficient manner, In other words. someth:ng has been left to the judgment and discretion of the directors. “What chance will the public have af- ter a committee has made its report? “Oh, well, I can imagine instances where an open committee meeting may be an ab- solute necessity for a proper determinat.on of the subject in hand. he members are the better judges of when an open session duct of public school business for all com- mittees to hold executive sessions. Here- tofore the rule of secrecy was applied only to the Teachers’ Committee, which had in charge the appointment and dismissal of teachers. Occasionally the Finance Com- mittee met behind closed doors,and now and then the Supply Commfttee held a secret meeting to pass finally upon bids. But tn nearly all cases the preliminary proceed- ings, at least, were open until the public could learn the subject to be under consid- eration, and it was not deemed impertinent to inquire of a director what had been done at the secret session. Over in the old Polytechnic building a daily bulletin of committee meet!nge was hung up in the secretary’s office, so that ersons having business to transact with he board could know when to appear and personally meet the directors whom they desired to consult. Under the exiet'ng ar- rangement the public are compelle to await the open session of the board, when it will be too late to protest or to appeal, since it is customary in all deliberative bodies to rely upon the reports of com- mittees. In fact, it is necessary in most cases to adopt committee reports, or else co is no reason why committees should exist. At Tuesday night’s sesston of the board ——————_f the consideration of committee reports will be a feature. The principal business, how- ever, is the work of making selections for various offices. It is rumored that Mr. Hammerstein will be made Secretary and Treasurer, with Isaac Hedges as Auditor, William Ettner as Building Commissioner, and Mr. Bryan be reappointed Supply Com- missioner. GREAT JOKE ON SCHAAP. He Didn’t Appreciate It and Got His Head Hurt. Sam Schaap keeps a barber shop at 27 North Fourteenth street. He sleeps in the shop. Monday night when he retired he opened the transom to let in fresh air. Joe Einochio, who keeps a saloon at Four. teenth and Pine streets, passed by with a couple of friends. They heard Schaap snor-. ing away inside and noticed the open transom. They put their heads together and thought out a very funny joke. They got a paper bag, filled it with water and shied it through the opening. It fell on Schaap and broke with splendid effect. Schaap thought it was a cloudburst. He ran outside. The sky was clear; nobody was in sight. He went back and mopped himself off and went to sleep. Tuesday morning he went into Einochio’s saloon, accused the Italian of causing the downpour and chased him behind the bar. Einochio smashed Schaap on the head with a beer glass. He had his scalp sewed by Dr. Newcomb at the City Dispensary. should be had. It is something entirely new in the con- 4 THE REPRODUCER. photographs.

The inventor made many tests before he could produce a voice wave line which would be less than a sixty-fourth of an inch in width. He finally reached the point where he could photograph lines as fine as the finest hair and if necessary not more than one-hundredth of an inch apart. The process of reproducing speech anl any tone from the photographic record is very simple. The negative, after be- ing developed in the usual way, is photo-etched either in intaglio or relief in copper or other metal. The plate then goes through a secret process after the etching, which the inventor refuses to makepublic. This etched die is then stamped into celluloid, vulcanized rubber or other suitable substance, reproducing the plate disks in any desired quantity. Next comes the tracing stylus, which consists of a needle attached to a diaphragm. It is dropped in the lines of the curves and thehe disk is turned by means ofacrank. Attached to the diaphragm is a horn similar to that of a gramaphone, and the tracisg stylus, in tracing out the fine Wave lines, reproduces the sound spoken into the recording instrument. A lead pencil, or, in fact, @ plece of wood sharpened at one end, placed inside the horn and the point dropped in the lines of the record gives out a series of faint sounds as if a person were whispering. Mr. Ferguson showed a negative of the photographed sound waves produced by the Lord's Prayer and placed by a vulcanized rubber disk, reproducing from this negative, in the reproducing machine. When he began to slowly turn the crank the sound issued forth. Although not as loud as that from the phonograph, nearly every word of the prayer was clearly enunciated and could be distinctly heard. There W@8 no rasping or grating sound, which, the inventor explained, was due to the fact that there was not the pressure on the tracing stylus required to reproduce the sound from the wax cylinders on other machines. “Where there is no pressure, there is no listortion,” said he. that will not only reproduce sound, but will typewrite It e# fast as @ person can talk, and I am confident thet this result PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE VOICE.

DR. WAIT AND OTHERS AFTER MR. SCHROEDER. i MURPHY IS HIS ONLY HOPE. The Alleged Christian Scientist Who Treated George Meyer Is to Be Investigated. Coroner Walter J. Wait sent a letter to Health Commissioner Starkloff Monday suggesting that steps be taken to prose- cute “Divine Healer Schroeder,” who “‘treated’’ George Meyer of 186 Wyoming street, who died Saturday. The Commissioner turned the letter over to Chief Sanitary Officer Francis, who di- rected Attorney Brock of the Board of Health to gather evidence and begin pro- ooee nee. ealth Commissioner was not at his office Tuesday. Mr. Francis said: *“‘We will leave nothing undone to procure a conviction in the case, r will probably be charged with practicing medi- cine without a license. Before any judge but Murphy we would easily obtain a ver- dict, nue Judge Murphy has given us the worst of several similar cases, and there is no telling what he may do in this. “We have, however, obtained convictions in some cases, and I think the evidence in this will be so strong that it will be hard to get around.” Dr. Wait was vehement in his denuneia- tion of the so-called faith doctors. To a Post-Dispatch reporter he said: “This kind of practice should be prohibited by law. The opportunities for doing harm are many. The parties who practice this kind of medicine find it very profitable and they evade the law by not rendering any bills, and not asking for pay, but it is strict- ly understood that they make their living in this manner, and people who receive their services are expected to pay for it. “Numerous cases have come to this office similar to the Meyer case, and there seems to be no law applying to them, because the ‘healers’ hide themselves under their re- Hgious cloak. As soon as they are attacked they complained that their religious rights are being interfered with. In my opinion their religious performance would be more effective and less suré to cause death if oz would call in some licensed physician. “These medical scientists are responsible to no one, as they are not required and could not procure a license. eir tice is morally criminal, if not legally.” END OF A PASAMALA BALL. Judge of the Cake Walk Beaten by » Cab Drivers. The grand Pasamala Ball, at Stolle’s Hall, came to an exciting finish at 6 a. m. Tues- day, when John Stewart, a painter living at 3800 Lee avenue, was assaulted by Charles Reynolds and Dick Stonebreaker, cab- drivers. After decorating his head and face they were perques many blocks by a patrol wagon full of officers. Stewart was a judge of one of the cake walks. He drank often and generally with Reynolds and Stonebreaker. At 5 o'clock this morning the three left the hall and Stewart was invited to take a cab drive. They drove to the saloon at Twenty-second and Pine streets, where the drank for an hour and began to quarrel. The cabdrivers pulled Stewart out of the saloon and on the sidewalk they began the assault. Their weapons were shattered beer bottles that had dropped from the win- dows over the saloon. After the assault the cabdrivers went back to the saloon and Stewart was assisted to the City Dispensary by a colored porter. At Twelfth and Pine streets Patrolmen Platzer and Flanagan saw them. After etting the particulars the officers called or a patrol wagon and Stewart went on to the Dispensary. Platzer, Flanagan and several other of- ficers drove up Pine street at a break-neck speed. While they were crossing Twentieth street they saw two men run on the ap- proach of the wagon. The officers d'd not know the men but the fact that they were running looked sus- peorous and the wagon was started in pur- suit. At Twenty-third street Stonebreaker turned south and Reynolds continued out Pine street. The wages followed Reynolds. Platzer got out of the wagon and started on foot after Stonebreaker, capturing him at Walnut street. Reynolds turned south on Jefferson ave- nue. The wagon was ining on him but lost some time !n making the turn. At Eugenia street Patrolman O’ Leary standing and yy the chase he stepped behind the corner of a building and as Rey- nolds dashed around the corner ry grabbed him. Stonebreaker and Reynolds were taken to the Central Police Station and locked up. TRYING TO LIFT A HOODOO, Judge Stevenson Mixes a Little Law With Magic.

Butler that will insure the daily removal of all garbage, the city will have cause to congratulate him. There has been as much trouble about the removal of garbage in St. Louis as if we were a village of bar- barians instead of a civilized and pro- gressive community, It seems that when the contract for the removal of garbage was first made the city’s interests were not properly guarded, and it has been Im. possible ever since to put the matter on a satisfactory basis. The contractor has shown an unwillingness to do any- thing without being overpaid for it. There is no doubt that a great deal of the sickness in the crowded districts of the city is due to filth accumulating in hot weather, The daily removal of gar- bage would result in better health for the poor and indirectly for every one else who is#compelled to stay in town during the summer. In this way the city would be saved expense in attend- ing the sick and burying the dead. One of the heaviest items of city expense is for the hospital, and much of this could be saved by thorough sanitary condi- tions in the streets and dwellings of the poor, St. Louls is behind several of the East- ern cities in this matter of collection of garbage. It is time to put in force here all the appliances and improvements that the most progressive cities have added to their management. lla tipiatiiipanimainiion TANNER AND THE PRESS. Gov, Tanner’s action in signing the bill to repeal the Illinois Libel law is im- portant only because it serves to indicate his disposition. His eagerness to aid in the destruction of a law which the IIIi- nols newspaper press was instrumental in having passed, and which it sought to retain, is proof enough that if the drastic measure adopted by the boodle Senators had passed the House Tanner would have lost no time in giving it. the force of law. The Post-Dispatch does not look upon the loss of the libel law of 1895 as one to be greatly deplored. It was calculated to lead to trresponsibility, if not down- right pusillanimity in the public press by its provisions for the publication of re- tractions as a means of redress. If the law had remained, the influence of the Illinois press would undoubtedly have suffered, through apologies made to ras- cals, as alternatives to costly actions in court which would prove the charge and justify the publication. If the press is to be powerful it must be consistent, reso- jute and unyielding to wrong. The repeal of the law of 1895 leaves the Iilinols editors on the broad foundation of the State Bill of Rights, under which justification defends them, Honest anda courageous journalists can ask nothing more or better. But it is clear enough that if Gov. Tanner could rob the Illinois press of this he would gladly do it. For proof of his rascality is something an IIL. Hhois boodier never desires. a i a See THE DEBS IDEA. The convention of the American Rall- way Union at Chicago to-day is an event that has been looked forward to with ' great interest by the working people in- terested in “reform” movements, Many false reports have been sent out to the effect that it intended to start off an- other Coxey army, with.no particular ob. ject except to make a display for the benefit of the workless class. If the plans suggested for the conven. tion’s work by its President, Eugene V. Debs, are carried out, this convention may start a movement of vastly more im- portance than the wanderings of a Coxey army could be. In a lengthy communica- tion to the New York Journal recently Mr. Debs explained that it is a feature of the new movement to colonize a West- ern State, with the object of capturing, at -—fome future election, the State govern- ment through the ballot. The ticket to be put up will be pledged to put in effect Bocialistic ideas, so far as the Federal Constitution will permit; or, as Mr. Debs Bays, “to establish within the limitations of the Federal Constitution the Co-opera- tive Commonwealth.” A rt of the plan ts to establish branches all over the country, the mem- bers of which will pledge themselves to contribute fixed sums, according to thelr ability and inclination, for the support of the ploneers who go in advance of the Fest. An official organ will be started, Which will be “first-class in every partic. serene ular,” and a corps of organizers will be sent out to boom the movement, It remains to be seen how far the American Railway Union will indorse these plans of its President. It is a unique scheme, similar, as the Post-Dis- patch has pointed out, to that of the Kansas Aid Society just before the Civil War. THE PEOPLE AND THE SENATE. Granny Hoar of Massachusetts knows as much of the real feelings of the people of the United States as a Fiji islander does of the precession of the equinoxes. He is nearly always mistaken in his views and he never was more entirely mistaken than when he declared in th. Senate Monday that men of the farms and workshops everywhere consider the charges against Senators in connection with the Sugar Trust and other Trusts as “not less than infamous.” The plain truth is that a large pro- portion of the people of the United States have a much worse opinion of United States Senators than ever finds expression in print. They believe every charge that has been made regarding the subservience of the Senate to the Sugar Trust. They believe that if Chap- man, Havemeyer and Searles had an- swered the questions propounded to them by the Investigating Committee a num- ber ef the Senators would have been driven out of public life in disgrace. They believe that the proposed Tillman in- vestigation was squelched because the Senate as a body dares not have an hon- est and searching inquiry, such as Till- man would make, into the relations of certain Senators with the Trust. Nor is this all, or the worst. There is a widespread belief that the Senate has ceased to represent the people of the States or of the United States. It has become the citadel] of Plutocracy and the center of the pernicious influences with which the Money Power is sapping the ‘foundations of Democratic institu- tions in America. Its seats are reached for and many of them occupied by rich men, who go into politics for what they can make out of it, and whose record is smirched with the broad and greasy hand of boodle. By these means its standard of intelligence has been de- graded until if is far lower than that of the House of Representatives, And its character is even lower than its intelli- gence. These are the honest opinions enter- tained by a large proportion of the peo- ple of the United States, as Granny Hoar would find if he mingled with them. THE HAWAIIAN STEAL. The Post-Dispatch said two months ago that McKinley was committed to Ha- wailan annexation before his nomination for the Presidency. His executive action was pledged in advance to that scheme, as to many others equally odious and odorous, to combine in his-support ele- ments hitherto hostile and found acting together for the first time to promote his nomination and election, The suspicion of a previous bargain is strengthened by the haste with which he comes to his appointed work. Shylock must be clamoring for his bond. And so, while this country groans under a multi- tude of internal ills; while there are mil- lions of American workingmen without work and thousands of American busi- ness men without business; while Repub- lican merchants are clamoring for relief and Wanamaker denounces a shuffling policy, McKinley draws a treaty for the annexation of Hawali, under the terms of which we are to assume the Hawalian debt of $4,000,000. This debt is owed by the Dole usurpers, who overthrew the rightful government by lawless force, to a New England syn- dicate which will make a profit of two million dollars or more by the ad- vance in the value of the bonds from forty or fifty cents to par. But the debt would be the smallest item of expense. With Hawaii annexed, millions would be necessary for the pro- tection of the islands, for the fortifica- tion of Honolulu Bay, for the Improve- ment and fortification of Pearl Island Harbor, and for other_steals it is now im- possible to foresee. The New England syndicate would handle the cash. The Post-Dispatch has said that the Democrats in the Senate can defeat this scheme of public robbery. It says so flow, despite the attitude of Senator Morgan, who seems to think the success of his Nicaragua Canal bill is bound up in that of the Hawaiian bond-raiders, If so, so much the worse for the Morgan bill, For measures, like men, must be judged by the company they keep. — a ee — -_ How differently a political party may act after it has been manipulated by the money power is made clear by a resolu- tion adopted by the Republican National Convention of 1888. This resolution, which was reported by Mr. McKinley himself, reads: The Republican party is in favor of the use of both gold and silver as money, and condemns the policy of the Democratic Ad- ministration in its efforts to demonetize silver. Possibly it Was a remembrance of this action which led many silver Republi- cans to once more follow the tricky lead- ers in 1896, 4 The McKinley Aid Society in Kentucky, which masquerades under the name of “Sound Money Democrats,” announces that it will never, no, never, accept the Chicago platform, Nevertheless and not- withstanding, they will remain outside the Democratic party, with the gate, shut, until they withdraw all their recent mouthings and accept the Chicago plat- form with enthusiasm. a iin Death from diseases affected by sanita- tion measures are steadily decreasing in Chicago,.while deaths from diseases in- duced by undue strain upon the nervous system and heart are on the increase. Waiting for the prosperity wave has af- fected people in many parts of the coun- try. The hope deferred that sickens the heart also prostrates the nervous system. tne GI eI cen The trolley cars in Chicago have no fenders and are slaughtering little chil- dren. After the recent triumph of street ear corporations in the Illinois Legis- lature they are not likely to pay much attention to calls for safety appliances. When so much money is pald to legisla- tors there canfiot well be a large fund for protecting the lives of the people. — isiindl anemia However other golden streams may be diverted, those that flow toward the Sugar Trust and the Standard Oi) monop- oly run steadily on. These organizations are in danger of being drowned in their own flood of wealth at a time when. thou- sands of good people are suffering from lack of food. c The petition to Congress bearing 6,000,- 000 names and asking for the recognition of Cuban belligerency might easily be supplemented with as many more signa- tures. The sentiment of the American people is unmistakably in favor of the Cubans, and the pro-Spanish policy of Cleveland and McKinley has only in- creased this feeling. _- — The Chicago Tribune promises Gov. Tanner apermanentretirementfrom pub- lic life. Men in public life who serve cor- porations are, however, often well taken care of when they retire. There are cor- porations that do not add ingratitude to their other sins. Every American voter, of whatever party, should study the Chicago plat- form and make up his mind as to his course In 1800. The Chicago platform appeals to his sense of fairness and jus- tice, and it ought not to appeal in vain. a It will be a great military event when the bicycle regulars ride into St. Louis with their arms and equipments loaded on their wheels. The new cavalry will no doubt receive a rousing welcome from the people of this peaceful valley. ee The high tariffers are considerably wor- ried as to where revenue is to come from, Perhaps the best thing they can do is to work for a constitutional amendment pro. viding for the fairest of all taxation—an income tax. ~~ — ———w Mr. McKinley will find more trouble in getting his Currency Commission than in tinkering the tariff. No commission fairly appointed could agree and it would, therefore, be a great piece of folly to ap- point one. It is given out by the police that as- saults to obtain money for beer are fre- quent in hot weather. This is a beer tax that can hardly be approved, however well it may be collected. —— a The only encouragement the Kentucky deserters are getting comes from Repub- lican organs. The renegades are useful only to the tariff robbers and the Wall street sharks. Foreign built yachts for American mil- lionaires are to be admitted free of duty. It is the aim of the Administration to make easy sailing for all people of great wealth. The best advertiser in St. Louis is the Post-Dispatch. Its advertisements are taken to many more readers than any other paper in the city can command, ——_~, 2s - The gold standard does not affect Col. Butler’s price for the removal of garbage, and his philanthropy dries up as the sun- shine grows more fervent. +.

From the New York Press. Fashion causes more wrinkles than dis- ease. All the world loves a lover, but especially the girl. Women are vain naturally; men are vain because the women are. ‘If mosquitoes had any particular grudge against women corsets would go out of fashion. One of the chief charms about a woman is that she can act as mean as dirt to a man and then cry when he doesn’t kiss her. Love is like a bird of Paradise. It is beau- tiful and probably exists somewhere, but most people only know it from seeing it in pictures. Manners of the Old South. From the Atlanta Constitution. As to the manners of the old South, which the Journal of Commerce 1s pleased to criticise, it is sufficient to observe that for gentle breeding, outward courtesy and true inate refinement they have never been surpassed. The same school of manners which produced Senator Morgan produced also Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mon- roe and other distinguished Southerners, against whom the voice of slander has never been raised. In view of the noble types of chivalry which the old sehool has given to the world no one can criticise its manners without reflecting upon his own, Queerness of Women.

Alcide Capitaine, the woman Sandow, is said to be small of stature and modest and retiring in manner. She has a remarkable record as a gymnast, having spent nineteen years in her profession, constantly under- going the most violent physical exercise. During this time she has never missed a single exhibition from ill health or fatigue. She has been pronounced by eminent physi- cians to be physically perfect. Miss Harriet A.

She was a student in the American Archae- ological School at Athens when war broke out, and at once tendered her services to the Queen. Miss Boyd went to the front with the English nurses, but was assigned to an hospital by herself. PLAYFULLY PUT. ‘Tt's An Ill Wind,” Ete.—Brother Tom: Cheer up, Bobbie; I’se got good news fer yer.

OUR ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY. — | Duenna—n., An old woman kept to watch a younger one.—Webdster | ~ American Industrial Conditions, the New .York Journal. Two stories sent by Journal correspond- ents foraging in widely separated fields for facts throwing clear light upon the indus. trial conditions of the United States sound queerly when read in conjunction: From Cleveland—Mark Hanna’s own town —James Creelman writes of American work- ingmen going abroaa in search of work. “So black and bitter is the spreading mis- ery in Ohio that native-born mechanics are actually leaving their own soil to seek for a chance to earn bread in England,” he writes. “I learned that a great many éen- gineers and other mechanics have been leaving Cleveland to seek for employment abroad. The local labor unions have re- ceived reports on the subject. Some of the men have asked for cards to British la- bor unions.” From the wretched region of cold fur- naces, starving miners and turbulent mobs about Pittsburg Alfred Henry Lewis sends the other half of the text. There he found the offscourings of Europe imported to take the place of American laborers. Living like beasts in their styes, destitute of self-re- spect, of morals, of ambition—as indeed they well might be, having no hope for the future—these wretched beings, for all their ability to bear suffering with the stolidity of the brute, are at last roused to the point of revolt. They might as well starve strik- ing as starve working, they say. It is a quicker death to fall by the bullet of the militiaman than to slowly and painfully succumb to the pangs of hunger. And so the ‘black valleys of Western Pennsylvania are presently to resound again with the shouts and curses of the men enlisted in Mabor’s warfare. Perhaps there 1s a third division of the text. Though the American workingman be driven abroad—though the Slav and the Hun who are expelling him come in their turn to starvation, to riot, and to bitter re- pentance of their coming to this land of the free, there is still prosperity in the United States. Prosperity for the trust mag- nates who are in touch with law- makers. Prosperity for financiers who have found a new way to enforce upon the peo- ple a bondage as heavy as that which once rested upon the children of Israel. Pros- perity for the shrewd manipulators of gas stocks, of street railway stocks, the fore- stallers of markets, the whole tribe of them who take from them who make, If there be hovels in Banning there are pal- aces where the promoters of the Anthracite Trust—one of whom is Vice-President of the .United States—abide. If American workingmen go abroad to earn, so, too, do American monopolists—to spend. That is the story. It is continuous from the starving Hun to the yachting financier. The moral, like the evil, is obvious. The remedy? About that is much clatter of tongues, but in the search for it little progress.

The Democratic editors of Indiana have amended their constitution so that to re- tain membership an editor must be a sup- porter of the National Ticket and the Chi- cago platform. The so-called gold standard Democrats read themselves out of the party when they voted the Republican ticket, and the Association of Democratic Editors of Indiana do not propose to recog- nize them as Democrats. The man who claims to be a Democrat is not entitled to recognition as a member of the party, when he opposes the party principles and votes against its nominees. Such a man can scarcely deceive himself as to his political status, and he has no right to complain of those who recognize his political affilla- tions by his acts Instead of his words.

The young and pretty Empress of Japan not only wears European dress, but looks uncommonly well in it. Her clothes really appear to fit her, which is somewhat sur- prising when one takes into consideration the fact that Japanese etiquette does not al- low any one of such humble rank as a dress- maker to touch the sacred imperial person. Still, the Empress must be well dressed, and, therefore, the difficulty about the fitting has been overcome by finding a lady who is her double in figure, and on whom al! clothes for the oy pee are tried before being sent home to the palace, Gooseberry Jam. Pick the gooseberries just as they are turning red and stem them.

It is a free parliament.) Reaping as He Sowed. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have a friend who, during the last cam- paign, was an ardent McKinleyite. He has een unable to find any work for months. I have just written him, in part, as follows: Dear Sir and Friend—I am truly sorry to hear you speak so despondently about the times, but it is no more than all “crazy sil- ver fools” predicted would be the case. That promised wave of prosperity has not struck us very hard as yet, and that’s a fact, and it’s my candid opinion that it can’t strike us very hard, with McKinley and the trusts anchored so firmly in power.

You say in your letter to me: “The elec- tions are all over and yet times are gettin worse and worse each and every day. Wit all my energy and endeavors I cannot find any work.” Friend Mc., there is a very pa- thetic sermon in those few lines I quote from your letter. I know your ability and sterling integrity of character and the sit- uation is truly horrible to contemplate, but do not be a pessimist; leave the croaking about hard times to the Globe-Democrat; let it and its kind sit in sackcloth and ashes and study over the might have beens. Do not despond. Take my friedly advice and join the invincible ranks of the “silver idiots’’ and in A.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. -The question as to whicn would be the better for the whole people—the public man- agement of public affairs, or the private management of public affairs; whether the machinery used in the production and dis- tribution of food, clothing and shelter (the land, railroads, factories, stores and money) shall be managed by the whole people and for the benefit of the whole people, or by a few of the people and for the benefit of a few of the people, is a question which must be settled, and it will be settled as it should be settled, and as every Man and woman who has given it much unselfish considera- tion undoubtedly believes it should be set- tled, and that is in favor of public manage- ment. For fifteen years I have talked single tax and am still talking it; not, however, with a view to hindering Socialism, but rather with a view to hastening it. And even after a co-operative commonwealth shall have been established the single tax will be use- ful, for we shall st‘ll have large areas of spare land to let to “rabid individualists, who would prefer to live in a state of con- stant strife and frequent starvation, on the outskirts of civilized society.

LOOKS LIKE A CASE OF “RINGING.” TOWANDA BY KEENE-MARIETTA WON AT FRISCO. RAN IN E. A. MEYERS’ COLORS. Mr. Meyers Owns Towanda by Keene- Marietta, but Says He Never Ran the Colt at Frisco. E. A. Meyers, a horseowner from Jersey- Ville, Ill, has reported to Judge Joseph A. Murphy what he believes to be a case of “ringing” perpetrated at the Ingleside track, Ban Francisco. BE. A. Meyers & Co. own a 22-year-old chestnut gelding named Towanda by Keene —Marietta. The colt is a maiden, never having even started. He was entered at the Fair Grounds yesterday, but was Scratched because of his being a little off on account of a cold. Mr. Meyers has discovered, however, that a chestnut gelding 2-year-old has been rac- ing at Ingleside and Frisco under the name of Towanda and won a 2-year-old event there. The entry shows that Towanda was run under the name of E. A. Meyers & Co., an he breeding given is identical with that o Owanda who is now stabled at the Fair rounds. Mr. Meyers said: “I can’t understand this case at all. My colt hag,never been to Frisco and has never started anywhere. ou can judge of my surprise when I dis- covered that a horse name Towanda was run under my name at Frisco. There is only one Keene—Martetta 2-year- old, and I have got that one right here, Who this other horse is or who has been running im ig more than I can tell. I called Judge Murphy’s attention to it, and I presume he Will investigate thoroughly.” The form book shows that Towanda Started three times at Ingleside during April, winning the last race at good odds. GOSSIP FOR TURFITES. Windstorm Caused a Panic in the Fair Grounds Grand Stand. There was the same old scare at the Fair Grounds Monday afternoon, and it came for the sixth race, just about the time the tor- mado struck and unroofed the grand stand & year ago. Some rain had fallen from a clear sky half an hour before, and this frightened the more timid in the grand Stand, especially the ladies. While the horses were parading for the last race the wind came. The dust was picked up from the track and whirled around up into the grand stand, and in clouds it was sent over the field. The grand stand emptied itself, all the people who had been seated there hunting safety outside. The bookmakers stayed on their blocks, but Bookie Shannon locked up his money box and was ready to jump for the fleld, as he did every time the wind blew at the race track after the + age of last year. The race was run, but the dust was blinding, and the horses could mot be seen except at the start and the finish. Those who ran from the rand stand seemed ashamed when they found they had been in no danger. W. P. Megrane, who is racing his horses et the Fair Grounds, returned Monday from Cincinnati where he went to attend the meeting of the committees of the Turf Congress for the purpose of using his in- flUuencé with the members for the re-instate- ment of one of the outlawed jockeys. He lost out on his trip, as the best his boy got was “taken under consideration.” The Kentucky Association’s track and rounds at Lexington, Ky., have been or- ered sold at foreclosure July 12 to satisfy the $30,000 mortgage upon it held by Charles Green of St. Louls. It is understood Mr. Green will buy in the property and conduct semi-annual meetings there. J. Mathews, the jockey who rides for Hardy Durham, was thrown from Myriam G., just after the filly crossed the wire third in the fifth race. He went over her head and the filly trampled him, but he es- caped with only painful bruises. He is the econd jockey hurt during the meeting. _ @ Goszen others had falls but were not Many bum jockeys and stable boys have sported silk at the Fair Grounds and inany poor races have been ridden there, but about the worst exhibition ever given by a jockey was in the fifth race, when J. Woods, generally considered a fair rider, had the mount on Horseshoe Tobacco. He led for the last half of the distance and went to sleep coming into the stretch: Tin Cup, ridden by Kitley, made a rush at the last furlong, closed the three lengths of day- light to Horseshoe Tobacco and would have won had the race been twenty yards longer, as Horseshoe was all out and Tin Cup finishing strong. Those whose money was on the horse ridden by Woods had palpita- tion of the heart. Capt, Sam Brown, the Pittsburg coal m and millionaire turfman, has bought the cel- ebrated Todhunter blue grass farm, near Lexington, Ky.—S47 acres, at $76.26 per acre— and will use it both for breeding and train- ing. Capt. Brown, several years ago, trained his horses in the far South, but has never used h's farm there since a pecullar experi- ence he had. In that climate there was no cessation of work in the winter time, and his horses were always on edge early in May. His rainer started north with them, and every orse in the string was fit to carry money in any race. Up in Maryland the train etruck & snowstorm.

Billy Lakeland was succeeded by Tom Greene, and Saturday he young man whos? work has heretofore been confined to the California tracks. Greene is said to be in poor health. Capt. Billy Williamson eaid to the Post- Dispatch reporter Tuesday afternoon: “In my little conversation with the Post-Dis- patch concerning the best horse race I ever saw I forgot to state what became of Sue Washington, Frankfort and Charles- ton, the three great horses that raced those four four-mile heats. Sue Washington continued to win races. Frankfort had been suffering from a lung fever, and after the last heat he dropped dead as he was being led into his stable. Charles- ton wrs taken to England by his owner, Dick Ten Broeck, but never amount- ed to much over there, although Mr. Ten Broeck made his fortune over there in other ways and with other horses. He got in with lords and ladies and was one of the first Americans to get into what was then called the Prince of Wales’set. One of Mr. Ten Broeck’s early associates was Capt. Cottrell, a Welsh butcher in Mobile, Ala., who bred Buckden and Buchanan. He and Ten Broeck had sat in many a game of cards and raced their horses together on many atrack. Cottrell took: some horses to England a few months after Ten Broeck’s arrival. Cottrell was snubbed by Ten Broeck, who failed to speak to him when they met at Epsom Downs, A 3-year-old of Cottrell’s won a@ race and Ten Broeck sent a commissioner to price the horse of Cottrell. The latter’s reply was charac- teristic of the man. “Tell Dick Ten Broeck,” he sald, “that all the money he has couldn’t purchase one hair from the tail of my horse.’’ OFF FOR KANSAS CITY.

WICHITA, Kan., June 15.—A party of prospectors, headed by Wm. Cooley, an old Montana miner, ventured into the Wichita Mountains laat week and began to prospect for gold, which is reputed to be there in abundance. They were discovered by a band of Indians and forced to flee for their ' lives, leaving all of their tools and camp equipments. The redskins pursued them for many miles from Cut Throat Gap, where they were camped, in the direction of Na- vajo, which the prospectors, having the fleetest horses, were enabled to reach in safety. The Indians are determined to keep the prospectors out.

AARPRAARIECROEERIREAEIRAERIEIREER ELLIS ISLAND IN RUINS, — THE GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS DESTROYED BY FIRE. ALL THE PATIENTS SAVED. No Loss of Life Was Sustained, but the Government Is Out $780,000. NEW YORK, Jifne 15.—Fire at an early hour this morning destroyed the immigrant landing station that covered almost al] of Ellis Isiand, causing a property loss of about $780,000 to the United States Govern- ment. All of the Government records and the baggage of the immigrants was burned. Two hundred and fifty immigrants were rescued from the burning structure and brought safely to this city. Not one of them received a burn. There were forty patients in the hosiptal in the rear of the main structure who were carried out In Cots just before the hospital took fire. The cause of the fire is as yet a mystery, It started in the east end of the main structure, which was more than 1,00 feet long and three stories high. The first floor of this building was almost entirely Biven to baggage, while the eastern end of the second story was used for offices. The third story Was used as a reviewing gallery. The middle and southern portions of the first two stories were used for landing bu- reaus and detention rooms. It was in th's part of the buildings that most of the im- migrants were sleeping last night. When Chief Night Watchman Rurke noticed the fire It was licking around one of the towers. He at once summoned the thirty men em. ployed under him. who quickly unlocked the en If your child looks upon Scott’s Emulsion as Cod- liver Oil and is repelled by it, begin with part of a tea- spoonful in twice the quan- tity of water, and it will take it and relish it as thoughit weremilk.

SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemist, Kew York, Se eee el A LE a ae iron gates leading into the detention room | and aroused the sleepers, who were reposing on benches and on wire cots, which the bureau provides. One of the night watch- men was sent across the bridge to the wo- man’s dormitory, contained in a two-story building in the rear of the landing depot. They were hustled downstairs into the yard in the rear of the landing depot and then conducted around the west of the building and #0 on to the ferry slip, where the ferry- boat John G. Carlisle was lying with steam up. Meantime the men in the main building had been rushed out and down the main double stairway at the west end to the boat, Surgeon J. H. White and Assistant Sur- geons White and Gideon had been aroused by this time and they at once began to remove the forty patients in the hospital. It was seen at a glance that the big main building was doomed and it required quick work t®% carry out the helpless sick before the blistering heat prevented an approach to the hospital building. Doctors, nurses and attendants helped in the work. Miss A. Boltz; one of the nurses, | carried out four of the children herself. Once outside the people carrying cots rushed at a quick trot across the grass plot to the pier, never stopping till the patients were landed on the boat. In this way all of the forty sick people were carried into the large cabin on the Carlisie’s main deck. Meantime some of the immigrants who had escaped from the main building ‘had become anxious about their baggage and despite the fact that the vast bullding was fast be- ing encompassed by the flames rushed back to save it. In all the known tongues they insisted that their all was contained in the boxes and bundles which they brought over. Capt. Burke and his men had to fairly fight them back on the boat. They wept and wrung their hands when they found it was impos- sible to save their property. The fire by this time had the entire main building in its embrace, and the flames il- luminated the whole harbor, lighting up the lower end of New York almost as plainly as day. Jersey City and Brooklyn were thrown into bold rellef by the flames, which HNceked and crackled around the cornices and shriveled up the great corrugated iron roof of the immigrant ot gg aighted by this glare, with the paint blistering from her sides, the Carlisle steamed out of the long slip into the upper bay. She had been preceded a few minutes earlier by the transfer steamers Emmons, Hazel Kirke and John F. Moore, with three of the big immigrant barges. The battery in this city was crowded by thousands, who were attracted thither by the brilliant spec- tacle and the piers along the Jersey Central and Brooklyn waterfront, contained throngs of spectators, speculating as to the possibile loss of life. Every vessel in the harbor could be seen plainly. Even from Fort Hamilton and Staten Island the burning was watched and could be plainiv seen. he wind was from the westward and this prevented the flames from immediately iz- niting the smalier buildings In the rear of the main depot. Chief Engineer James F. Bacon and Engineer Kelley, who were in charge of the dynamo and engine house on the island, started the pumps and kept two streams of water steadily pouring on the hospital bullding. In the meanwhile two nections of police from P'ter A had reached the island and the flreboat New Yorker had also steamed over to the tsland and all the streams from her heaviest pumps were turned on the fire. At 2 o'clock the flames were under control. The big station, the hospital, the laundry, restaurant, doctors’ houses and a number of smal! outbulidings were tn ashes. The engine house was the onfy building of im- portance on the island which escaped de- struction. When the ferryboat Carlisle reached the barge office Lnding in this city, thia morning, ambulances from Gouverneur and Hudson Street Hospitals, met the boat and patients from the Ellis Island Hospital! were divided between the two institutions.

MAY ADJOURN WEDNESDAY. An Attempt to Discover Who Wrote a Circular Intended to Defcat Treasurer Brancn. The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Honor, which has been in session at the Southern Hotel for a week, will probably conclude its work Wednesday. A vast volume of business has been transacted by the repre- sentatives. The greater part of the work has been of a strictly routine nature, yet at times questions have been discussed that added spice to the occasion. Early in the session an anonymous circu- lar made its appearance in and around the Southern Hotel. In substance, the circular was un attack on Supreme “Treasurer Joseph W. Brang, designed to defeat him for re-election*as treasurer. The sessions are secret and the appearance of the circu- lar was kept quiet at the time. Mr. Branch was triumphantly re-elected, notwithstand- ing the circular, and now the authorship of the document is likely to be made public. A committee was appointed to do some de- tective work—to ascertain, if possible, who wrote the circular. There was nothing in it that could be construed as a charge against the treasurer, yet it was intended to be an argument against his re-election, and nec- essarily atirred up a great amount of com- ment. It is oe | that the committee will make fits report Wednesday shortly before adjournment. Members of the order de- cline to state whether the much-sought in- nen obta! bu e pre- , formation has been obtained, t the pre | pate in the pageant to-day and the funeral sumption fs that ‘t has.

The esteem in which he js held by the order as a whole is shown by the way we re-elected him.

Before the end of the convention t admitting women to membership will be discussed. Many of the delegates are under instructions to advocate the plan.

DONIPHAN, Mo., June 15.—Edward Branch Cowan, an attorney-at-law and notary public of this place, committed sul- cide in his room at 8 o’clock this morning by shooting himself through the heart with a pistol. No letter or note was left to ex- plain the act. He has been in poor health for some time and often spoke of the hard- ness of the times. Lawyer Cowan was born in Iron County, Mo., in 1848, and was educated and prac- ticed law for a number of years in St. Louls city. He located here in 1894 and has taken a great interest in the politics of the county since that time. He was ap- pointed notary public by Gov.

Lichiiter, State Councilor, called the convention to order. There were about 200 delegates and visitors present. Mr. Lichliter introduced Mayor Ford, who welcomed the delegates. The response was made by Rev. H. H. Slaughter, State Councilor of Missouri, after which National Councilor Shaner took charge,*‘and requested all but members of the National.Council to retire. The council then went into executive session and Na- tional Councilor Shaner delivered his annual address. Mr. Shaner viewed the progress of the or- der during the year, and reported that near- ly every jurisdiction of the order is in a more flourishing condition than it was a year ago. Mr. Shaner discouraged the mixing of the order in politics. In closing, he makes these recommendations for legislation to the Na- tional Council: “That a law be provided preventing coun- cils from loaning their funds to a mem- ber; that more stringent regulations be pro- vided for the bonding of officers of State and subordinate councils; that all State councils be incorporated; that laws be pro- vided preventing the council from issuing and circulating any circulars or petitions that have not received the approval and jn- dorsement of the proper officer of the Staté Council, and that the appropriations for pe- riodicals be continued.’ National Vice-Councilor Joseph Powell of Colorado followed with his annual report, after which National Secretary Edward 8.

It Will Come Up at the Council Meet- ing This Afternoon and May Pass. The City Council will meet at 5 o’clock this afternoon. The thirteen members will vote on the unspeakable Wittenberg bill. The result is of tremendous import to the taxpayers. No attempt is made to deny that the Uthoff-Wittenberg measure is the fore- runner of a number of other bills of similar purpose affecting the other departments. Several members of the Filley-Ziegenhein push have admitted it and boasted of it after exacting @ promise that they would net be quoted. The City Charter, adopted in 1876, con- tains a provision that the ‘heads of depart- ‘ments are not to be appointed until two years after the beginning of a new adminis- tration. The purpose of that provision was to prevent giving the entire municipal ma- chinery into inexperienced hands at once. It was designed to place a check on the pernicious spoils system. The members.of the Filley-Ziegenhein push have only contempt for the Charter when it interferes with their programme of loot. They only inform themselves on its provisiong with a view to evading them. With the idea of conserving the efficiency of.the departments, the power to appoint subordinates was vested in the heads of departments. This vast working force could not be disturbed by a new adminis- tration. Even when, after two years, new Commissioners were appointed, their anx- fety to make a good showing -prompted them to retain nearly all their experienced men without regard to political considera- tions, AW this Is to be changed. Men of years of experience and proven efficiency are to be thrown out in blocks of 100.. Pot-house ene. appointed by the Mayor and the istrict Superintendents at the dictation of Boss Filley, are to take their places. It is very simple. An ordnance !s intro- duced transferring the appointive power from the Commissioner to the Mayor and making changes in the district lines. The ' effect is to annul the appointments made dy the Commissioner. At one stroke his force of trained assistants is wiped out. The Mayor then proceeds to foist upon the Con- missioner a motley crew of ward-heelers whose “loyalty”’ is attested by Boss Filley. If the Wittenberg bill passes, over 10 men will be thrown out in the Street Department. They are all men of demonstrated fitness for the positions which they hold. They are a picked force, the result of a sifting out rocess extending over years. Some of them ave beey in the department for over twenty years. They were selected or reappointed by Street Commissioner Milner, whose com- pense as an engineer has never been ques- joned, and who is a judge of the qualifica- tions needed. he new force will be selected by Mayor Ziegenhein who has no knowledge of en- sedeering and by Julius Wurzburger and the other district superintendents, who, if they know anything about anything except politics, have-artfully concealed the fact. Of Commissioner Milner it has never been said that his force of inspectors on recon- struction and repairs are not competent. The best proof of this is to be found in the almost unanimous opposition of the contrac- tors. They have laid awake nights schem- ing how to get rid of inspectors who would mot permit them to “skin” their work. When all things else have failed, when the Commissioner has complaints, they have assaulted the inspectors with clubs and in several instances nearly killed them. e mr. Milner has been a terror to recon- #truction and repair contractors. With the help of his inspectors he has held them to strict compliance with specifications and queered all their schemes for robbing the tax-payers, The class of work In which property own- ers are most directly interested is recon- struction of streets and sidewalks. The people pay for the work, but the city pays for the inspection, The inspectors appoint- ed by Mr. Milner have compelled the con- tractors to do ‘honest work. A dishonest inspector can permit asphalt or granitoid to be laid one inch thick when the specifi- cations call for four inches. When the work is completed the thickness cannot be determined. Work of this character would have to be torn up in two or three years and replaced at the cost of the property owners. There are plenty of contractors who will do this kind of work if they can. It will be easy when the inspectors are “push” politicians napeseed by Mayor Ziegenhein and the strict Superintend- ents solely on account of their a ba And the property owners will pay the freight. Among the monthly men who will be thrown out are the thirty overseers of con- struction, twenty-two inspectors of repairs, give a hearing on the Wittenberg bill at P. m. Pesodey at the Council’ Chamber in the City Hall. The bul is still jealously guarded from the eyes of interested persons by Filley’s watchdog, Secretary Graves. The City Hall slate makers. announced Tuesday that the men listed for the four district superintendencies are Julius Wurz- burger, Chris Schawacker, John Owen and Wm. J. Broeker. Mr. Schawacker, when asked | about his prospects, was noncommital. I haven't talked with the Mayor about that,” he stammered, “but I tell you what, that bill is a good one. It will save the city a lot of money.” “Will the efficiency of the department be improved?” nS Thy, of course. The Commissioner can’t look after the whole city. Let him go be- fore the Board of Public Improvements and hurry up improvements, hat the city needs is push.” Inder the rules the bill should be laid over a week after being reported, but the intention is to suspend the rules, which can he done by a two-thirds vote, and place it on passage at once. The members fear to delay. LEFT A WIDOW WITHIN A WEEK. SAD END OF MRS. GEO. W. CHAM- BERS’ ROMANCE. MARRIED A NOTED ARTIST. He Was on His Deathbed Six Days Ago, When the Ceremony Was Performed. Wife and widow within six days is the sad lot of Mrs. George W. Chambers, who ) was Miss Mary C. Davis, the assistant supervisor of drawing in the St. Louis pub- lic schools. On Tuesday last, while he lay in the shad- ow of death, she swore to love, honor and | obey George W, Chambers. They had been sweethearts for four years. It was ar- ranged that they were to marry during the winter, but Mr. Chambers’ health caused a postponement until spring. Meanwhie he went to Mexico, and-in the hot, dry climate he partially regained strength. e was a victim of consumption. Anxious to be reunited with his loved one he came back to St. Louls a month ago. The intolerable weather was death to him and he lost all he had regained in the South. The doctors sald it was imperative he should return. He did not care to go back alone. Miss Davis was willing and anxious to go with him and minister to him with wifely care. Monday of last week Miss Davis, ac- companied by her sister, Mrs, August Kirch- ner, and her brother, Mr. Albert C. Davis, the attorney, called at the marriage license office in Clayton. They asked the recorder to send to Mr. Chambers at Woodlawn, as he was too ill to come after a license. Dep- uty Wetzel complied. He found Mr. Cham- bers in the last stages of consumption, al- most too weak to answer the necessary questions, -The Hcense was issued and the day following the ceremony was performed. It was a sad nuptial party that assem- bled about the bedside of the dying man. The witnesses were Mr. and Mrs. Dynes Chambers, parents of the young artist, Judge and Mrs. Davis of Benton, the bride’s parents and her two married sisters. The groom was propped up with pillows. His bride stood beside him holding his hand while Rev. Wm. R. Mays pronounced the words that made them man and wife. There were no congratulations, no wedding feast. After the excitement of the ceremony Mr. Chambers sank back on the pillows com- pletely exhausted. To the pastor and.the few witnesses it was évident the union would be of shart dura- tion. Only the bride had hope. She thought that careful nursing would bring her hus- band back to health. For a day or two after the wedding he brightened up but he was still too weak to make the return trip to Mexico. When the warm weather set in Thursday it was thought he would surely pick up. It only exhausted him. He grew weaker and weaker on Monday and while his wife hung tenderly over him he sank into the final sleep. Both Mr, Chambers and his bride helong to wealthy and aristocratic families of St. Louis County. Mr. Chambers is known throughout the country as an artist of high merit, a skillful decorator and a designer of ornamental glass, In partnership with . W. Davis, who is not related to his bride, he maintained a decorative business at 1515 Locust street. Ten years ago he married the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Grubb of Kirkwood. One child was born to them. Mrs. Chambers subseq‘ient- ly obtained a divorce and went back to her ; mother’s home. Mr. Chambers was only 39 years of age, was quite wealthy in his own right and as an only son would have inherited a large fortune from his parents. The funeral will take place Wednesday from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dynes Chambers, at Woodlawn MUSICIANS AT PERTLE SPRINGS.

New wheat was received in St. Louis June 8 last year from Charleston, Mo., and Iilinois and Kan- sas wheat was received a short time afterward, while this year, on account of the stocks of wheat at country mills being exhausted, it is probable that there will be very little new wheat received for some time from Western or Southern points. The receipts of wheat at Liverpool for the past three days were 688,000 bu, of which 376.000 bu were American.

DEFENDANTS LAUGH AT HIM. He Claims Nelson-Mersman and Others Are Conspiring and Mr. Mers- man Denies It Flatly. The Fagin building was brought into court again Tuesday in a complicated law sult brought by Charles B. Clark, against the Fagin Building Co., Burlington Building Co., Vandalia Investment Co., William P. Nel- son, Otto L. Mersman, Ashbel L. Fields, James W. Metcalfe, Mississippi Valley Trust Co., Samuel C. Davis, John T. Davis and the Union Trust Co. Clark charges that prior to July 18, 1895, the Fagin Building Co., owned a ninety- nine-year leasehold on the property and an option to buy the land in addition to the i all of which were reasonably company, 000 and in- that they incorporated the ment Company and the Con- necticut Investment Company among three clerks in the Nelson & Mersman office, A conveyance of the leasehold was then made to the Vandalia Company and immediately afterwards the fee in the rea] estate was conveyed to the same company for $130,000. The Vandalia Company at once made a conveyance to Ashvel L. Field, a clerk in Nelson & Mersman’s office for $450,000. He ave a lease to the Connecticut Company or 99 years at a rental of $12,500 a year with an option to buy. Then the Connecti- cut Company conveyed to the Mississippi Valley t as trustee the leasehold se- cured by notes to the order of the Fagin Building wompeny. These notes amounted to $115,000 with ‘nterest. Field also made a deed of trust on the property to the Mississippi Valley Trust Co. as trustee for James E. Brock for $220,000. The notes made to the Fagin Building Co. were turned over to Metcalfe, who was confidential agent of Fagin, and that Fagin Was persuaded to surrender the notes and accept a new lease secured by new notes and bonds. Clark says Metcalf acted thereafter for Fagan, who was a very sick man, and in onformity with the plan of Nelson & ersman, made extensions and cancella- tions to the Connecticut Co. without any au- thority from the Fagan Co. The Burlington Co., Clark says, was then scenained, and the whole business conveyed Clark then says: “Said A. W. Fagin was confined to his house by a morial! iliness during the entire time of the transactions herein detailed, wherein the defendant Met- calfe assumed to act for him and the said Fagin Building Company, and was incapa- le, by reason of his infirmities, to transact any business, A. W. Fagin died on Feb. 1 , Within four days after the comple- ton of the pretended contracts by Met- Calfe; and that said Metcalfe without au- therity assumed to notify the Secretary of State that the Fagin Building Company had dissolved, and that said Metcalfe to further conceal and destroy the evidences of his acts secreted or destroyed the cor- oration books and papers, which had been n_ his custody,” PX Burlington Building, Clark says, has mt ed to pay interest on loans from Mr. pnvin, and*the latter threatens to foreclose. e asks for a full accounting and a re- so senang warp Mg title to the lease ana © Fagin Building Co., a @ receiver appointed in the oer sek Otto L.

Hot Springs Hotel Combination Likely to Be Dissolved. A meeting of the Southwestern Investment Co. is in progress at the office of Presi- dent George W. Parker in the Laclede build- ing Tuesday. The object of the meeting is to discuss the advisability of dissolving the ooling arrangement by which the three eading hotels at Hot Springs, Ark., have been governed for the last two years. The Southwestern Investment Co, has its offices in this city, although prominent men of other cities are members. It owns valuable hotel property at various resorts. The first meeting was called Monday. No conclusion was reached and Tuesday morn- ing the members of the company met again. Shortly after 1 o’clock, they took a recess for lunch, announcing that another session would be held during the afternoon. The meeting is held behind closed doors and newspaper reporters are not admitted. It is given out that the proposition to dis- solve the pool is the only os under consideration. The hotels interested are the Eastman,’ the Arlington and the Park. These hotels have been operating under the terms of an organization or pool somewhat similar to railroad pools. If the l is dis- solved, and the indications are that it will be, the hotels will hereafter run on an in- Gopentens basis. It has been the custom for only one of the three houses to remain open the whole of the year, but under the new regime, it is likely that they will all run the year through, each one taking what patronage comes its way. The afternoon meeting was in session late. It is probabil that a conclusion will not be reached | Wednesday, although it is expected the work will be finished before adjourn- ment this afternoon. Those in attendance are George W. Park- er cond 8S. W. Fordyce of St. Louls, and 8. H. Stitt of Hot Springs, secretary; R. Jackson of Hot ngs; . T. Joyce of Clinton, Io.; J. Morton of a GCG A.

Pe) eg. 7 < Ouesday—St. 3 Fe CONUIGT'S STORY OF INHUMANITY PRISONERS DRIVEN TO SUICIDE AT JEFFERSON CITY. UGLY CHARGES BY ED MARTIN. If What He Says Is True Some of the Overseers Are Fiends in Hu- man Form. Fd Martin, convict 10,993, walked out of the Jefferson City Penitentiary'a free man Saturday morning. His term for burglary and larceny had expired and inside the pris- on-made coat which he wore were his pa- pers of discharge, signed by Warden J. D. Starke and W. E. McMahon, the prison clerk. “Good-bye, boys,” shouted Martin, as he stepped outside the gate to go to the War- den’s office for his papers. A group of four convicts, chums they were with Martin, made so by their close association in the game work-room, heard Martin’s words of farewell and waved their hands to him. “‘Good-bye again,” called out Martin. “I'll do what I can for you fellows..I'll tell all I know.”’ “Oh, you are just like all the rest,’”’ re- turned one of the four in a voice denoting despair and resignation. ‘‘You’ll forget us, and, besides, no one will listen to what a convict says. It will do no good and we'll just have to stand it until our time is out.”’ What Martin meant by saying he would tell all he knew was that he would expose an alleged system of cruelty practiced upon the prisoners, in the hope that the Govern- or, and maybe some charitable body, would take it up and investigate it. Martin reached St, Louis Sunday, and Monday he came to the Post-Dispatch office to keep his promise to his prison mates and tell of their suffering. Martin is not a bad-looking fellow, and 4s more intelligent than the average crim- inal. His home is at 414 First street, N. E., Washington, D. C. In 1893 he went broke out West, and when he struck Harrison- ville, 'Mo., he was so near starved, he says, he had to steal. ‘That was the av the entire West suffered so heavily from the financial depression, and Martin says every- where he went he could find no help, for the people of the country were more than ever wary of extehding aid to homeless and penniless wanderers. His crime was discovered, and as he made no especial effort to escape he was caught and sentenced to five years for burglary and larceny by the Cass County Circuit Court. By good behavier he renduced his term of imprisonment to three years and nine months. : “Tl know the word of a jail bird doesn’t o for much,” said Martin, when he began iis story, ‘“‘but I think if my account - n come before the notice of the Governor and Warden Starke, they might look into the matter. The trouble has always been that we could nct lay our grievances before Mr. Starke, for all complaints are made to him in the presence of Jesse Tolen, the yard master and Tom Bradbury, the deputy warden. “If a convict attempts to speak of the cruelty Tolen or Bradbury will shut him up quick. ‘You lie, you dog,’ they will say, and the complainant never fails to shut up. “He knows if he proceeds Bradbury and Tolen will deny everything. “You couldn't get old ‘Solitary’ Johnson to talk to the Governor if Tolen or Brad- bury were around. * ‘*Solitary’ could tell a series of stories about prison outrages that would make a humane man sick. But he has been pun- ished so severely for talking that they’ve got him bluffed now. He'd talk to you if nobody were around, but he's dumb as a clam if you call on him to substantiate his story before witnesses. He knows he'll be Jashed with a rawhide and strung up by his wrists if he talks. “Two of the guards up there are the meanest men God ever let walk. Neither of them has a heart. Their one happiness in life is in making some poor, unhappy devil more unhappy. ‘Two men have committed '§ suicide in prison because the guards nagged at them until life was unbearable. They sa‘d it was suicide when they took their miserable, half-starved bodies out of ‘Old Hall,’ but we prisoners have and always shall have our own idea about it. “One of these men was George Stevens, who was doing time for an assault with intent to kill. Stevens was a harmless man and sorry for his wrong-doing. But in some way he got one of the overseers down on him and he never had a minute’s peace from that time until he hanged himself. “There {s a foreman in the shoe shop who has no idea of a man’s capacity for work. For the least thing in the way of an in- completed task he will send a man to the whipping post or to a dungeon in ‘Old Hall.’ He used to have Stevene crying ll the time. He was a thin, sickly fellow, this Stevens, and the confinement was wasting him away daily. He couldn’t have de fended himself if he had wished to. ‘One night in August—18%, I think, though it may have been ’%—Stevens was sent to a dungeon and hung up by his wrists for thirty-six hours, with bread and water to live on.

We'd get a Bame dungeon if we did.” — a “The other alleged sulcide was Walter O’Hearn, a St. Louis lad, who was up for shooting a policeman in a beer-cannin row. O’Hearn—‘Fat’ O’Hearn we calle him because he was so thin and puny you pould see daylight through him—was ciumsy in his work one day, and they clapped him in the same dungeon in which Stevens died. It was just about a month after the Stevens , Affair. The next morning O’Hearn’s body was brought out. He, too had freed his manacled wrists and hanged himself with his suspenders, they said, Nigger’ Arnold hanged himself in 1895 while in a dungeon in ‘Old Hall.’ The ‘Nig- had been for thirty days on bread and a funny thing about those gul- and the remark made by one of the oremen may be significant. “Last March om Puncion, sent up from 8t.

He was faint anyhow, from having nothing but bread and water, ahd his iegs ave way under him. He hung suspended yy his wrists for an hour or more, and was revived by a foreman kicking him. Having kicked him until the almost insen- sible man cried with pain, the foreman then struck him with a club, and said: “*Keep awake, or it won't be good for you. wo men have died in this same cell in just the same way. You'll keep ’em company if you don’t look out.’ ‘That sounds funny, doesn’t it? Our idea is that the foreman was in meaner humor than usual and forgot himself, and that he nfeant the two ‘suicides’ starved to death or died from a clubbing. ‘There is no autopsy held by the prison doctor, and no inquest when a suicide ts reported. The bo is merely sent to the dead house. Dr. illiams looks at it, says suicide, and it’s all over. “The whippings, dungeyn confinement for thirty days at a time on bread and water and the suicides I have mentioned are but a fraction of the cruelty exercised on the prisoners. I have been severely whipped at the whim of one or two of the foremen, but I was trying for good behavior and never placed myself liable to the harder pun-sh- ments. The greatest hardship I underwent was a spell of sickness during which I got scant attention. “T was made ill by the lack of proper nour- ishment. Half the time we can’t eat the prison fare. For some days we had been given bad hash and more than half the men could not stand it. At work one day I felt deathly ill, and was seized with an attack of vomiting. I called to the foreman, but he laughed and struck at me. I vomited eleven times before I could get any atten- tion. The twelfth time I was seized I was exhausted from the effort. There was noth- ing on my stomach but water and the re- fusal of the stomach to hold that seemed almost as if it would wrench every organ it contained loose from its fastenings. When I went to the hospital I was booked as hav- ing some fever. “T don’t think Warden Starke has any idea of the treatment received by the pri- soners at the hands of his subordinates. If he had I think he would stop it. Still, the convicts miss Warden Pace. He was a good warden, and a kindly disposed man. When a prisoner under Pace was discharged the Warden always gave him a small amount of money over his railroad fare. Under Starke he gets nothing. Another thing I want to say is this: I firmly believe that many a complaint written by the prisoners to Mr. Starke is intercepted. The foremen can spot a complaining letter, and they see it never gets to Mr. Starke. “T don’t know that what I have said will do those poor fellows up at Jefferson City any good or cause a reform to be brought about,’’ remarked Martin in conclusion, ‘but I trust it may. I will travel back from Washington in time to testify if any investigation is ordered. “Yes, I’m headed straight for home. My family sent me money and I’m going back and lead an honest life. No more stealing for me. I would stay in St. Louis and a to get work if it were not for these clothes Everything from my soft brown hat to my wide, thick-soled cow-hide shoes are prison made, and just the sort they give every dis- charged convict. The police everywhere recognize them, and if were here three Gays without finding work I suppose they’d arrest me on suspicion. “It’s fortunate for me I have a family who care about me enough to send me money. Otherwise I'd be flat broke, with no place to sleep, and you know what the police would do to a man they found walking the streets at night with an ex-convict’s suit on, don’t you? “T give you my home address so I can be found if I’m ever wanted. I intend never to see a prison again, but I'll make the trip back to Jefferson City at my own expense to testify if an inquiry will only be made.”’ TO RESCUE THEIR CHILDREN. SOUTH SIDE. MOTHERS SWOOP DOWN ON A CIRCUS. SCARED BY THE WINDSTORM. Meanwhile a Parachutist Was Having a Lively Experience Amid Con- trary Wind Currents. There was all kinds of excitement around Gilbert’s 10-cent, one-ring circus on Marine avenue and the river front when the big wind storm came. Ths circus is a dog and monkey, horse and pony affair, which has made a great hit with the children of South St. Louis. There were several hundred of them in the tent Monday afternoon when it began to cloud up and blow. The children did not seem to mind it much, but the mothers began to flock from all stdes to rescue their children from what they feared would be another tornado. Mothers grabbed children and _ scooted with them for home. Five minutes later the tent was let down for fear it would be blown into the river. As it was, poles were strained and somes seats smashed. During the excitement there was one per- s0n who was for the time being forgotten, but who was, nevertheless, the busiest man connected with the show. He was simply trying to save his neck and get to earth with as many whole bones as possible. Just before the blow came on a big bal- loon had been inflated with hot air, and was ready to go up for the regular after- noon ascension. The regular performer was not on hand, so Joe Dakes, better known as ‘‘Little Red,” volunteered. He is a spare, slim youth, mostly freckles and a broad smile. He took hold of the parachute bar and yelled to the rest to let go. e wind was blowing right for the river when he started, and he hoped to land in the water and swim ashore. e had not risen 100 feet when he struck a counter current which sent him sailing toward the Marine Hospital and the Home potdegees be The wind was whooping things about this time, and Dakes was afraid to cut lose tre ee, not knowing where he weld and. The big hot-air bag was cooline haa f and in a moment more Dakes found _ himself wrapped around a chimney of i‘red Kolder’s house, 3653 Marine averue, He tore off part or the chimney, and a corner of the brick work and then succeeded in turnine the balloon loose. It sailed away for a block or two landed near Butler’s stink factory. [here is a sign on the balloon asking the finder to return it to the show and receive a dollar reward, so that it was not long be- fore the bag was returned. Dakes grinned broadly when asked about his adventure, “I calculated taking a swim but got fooled, that is all. After I got up the wind changed. When I was up about 500 feet I couldn’t see any place to land so I just held on until I mixed up with that chimney and pretty near busted myself. “I atn’t the regular man, but I have been up several times before and always had pretty good luck.” The house he got tangled up with is not seriously damaged.

NEAAL OF MAYOR RICHARDS. — BODY INTERRED AT BELLEFON- TAINE CEMETERY. CAPT. HEDLEY RETURNS HOME. St. Louisan Tells How He Was Asked to Shadow the Editor and Miss Brown. Attached to the New York Express on the Big Four Tuesday morning was a special coach bearing the relatives and many friends of the late John R. Richards, Mayor of Bunker Hill. The train had special orders to stop at the Illinois village, where the coffin was placed in the baggage car and the coach containing the mourners was coupled on. There were fifty-two In the party that ar- rived from Bunker Hill at 7:30 o’clock, and they waited near the Twentieth street en- trance to the Midway for half an hour until the remains could be brought from the bag- gage room and placed in the hearse. Among the mourners were the Misses Liz- zie and Clara Kinyon, who, for three years, lived with Mr. Richards; the father and mother of the young women, who live on a farm near Bunker Hill, and Mrs. H. H. Brown, mother of Ella Brown, whom the Mayor wished to marry. It was noticeable that not one who sympathizes with Capt. Hedley and believes he was right in shooting the Mayor came to St. Louis with the party. It was a few minutes past 8 o’clock when the pallbearers brought the massive coffin from the baggage room and placed it in the hearse. Those who bore the remains were W. P. Higgins, George J. Smith, Joseph Mehr, A. G. Merce, M. B. Van Horn, Harry Budd, James Jenks and A. Bumenn, all of Bunker Hill. The arrangements were in charge of C., J. Jacoby, the undertaker of that Illinois town, who was an intimate friend of the Mayor, and who was one of the three to draw up the famous agreement that pledged John R. Richards and Capt. Hed- ley to speak when they met. Hugh Ridgley and several other St. Louis- ans met the party at the Union Station and accompanied them to Bellefontaine. Twenty-six carriages were in the funeral escort to the grave. Arriving there a prayer was said by the Rev. F. L. Styner and then the mourners dispersed to differ- ent parts of the city to wait till the de- = of the Mattoon accommodation at Capt. F. Y. Hedley returned to Bunker Hill from Carlinville Tucsday morning. Monday afternoon he was bound over to the grand jury, bail being placed at-$5,000. At the preliminary hearing before Justice Cloud at the county seat of Macoupin Mon- day no evidence was introduced that has not already appeared in the Post-Dispatch. Enough was said at the hearing about the ‘“‘woman in the case,’’ Helen Alice Brown, to show that this feature would be thor- oughly gone into at the final trial. As stated in these columns would be the case, the witnesses for Capt. Hedley testified that Mayor Richards had threatened him several times and had assaulted him. The Justice held the case to be balilable and Capt. Hedley said he would at once resume his editorial work at Bunker Hill. Before leaving Carlinville the editor made the first public statement since the shooting on Sat- urday. It was in writing and reads as fol- lows: I now break silence and say as sol- emnly as a man can that for the unfor- tunate act for which I am held, my con- science is as clear as can be that of any reader of this. As solemnly dol say that any matter in the preliminary hearing which may seem to reflect upon the con of Miss Brown is wholly un- warrantéd. She is the innocent and long-suffering victim, to whom ample vindication will come in due time. F. Y. HEDLEY. Barney McCann, now in the employ of the Kinloch Telephone Co., and who Hves at 1415 North Thirteenth street, was for seven years Deputy Sheriff of Macoupin County with residence at Bunker Hill. He was well acquainted with John 8. Richards, the Mayor, and I". Y. Hedley, his slayer. He is likewise entirely familiar with all the cir- cumstances leading up to the tragedy, and Says that as far back as last Christmas he predicted there would be trouble be- tween the two men. *° ‘Richards was a powerful, stubborn and aggressive man,’’ said Mr. McCann. “He was the richest man in the village, and the most progressive, and everybody looked up to him. He did a great deal of good to his neighbors, and his death will destroy = present comfort of a good many families ere. “He was in the habit of having his own way in all things, and* when his Reart was set on anything he would brook no interfer- ence, “I know all about his infatuation for Miss Brown and of his insane jealousy of what he believed to be Hedley’s friendship for the girl. Richards talked with me many a time about Hedley and Miss Brown and even went so far as totry to make a barga!n with me at one time, as Deputy Sheriff, to watch the couple and endeavor to discover some- thing wrong. I did not do it,for I felt certain there was nothing to be discovered, and, besides, Hedley was my friend, and so was the Brown family. “I believe now, as I believed then, that Miss Brown has been much maligned, and that she is a good, pure young woman. “That she would not marry Richards-is with.

BROADWAY AND ‘ MORGAN & See@Reet ae ee ‘ees 3 3 : ST. LOUIS BOY Is FOND OF SCHOOL. AVERAGE OF ABSENTEEISM IS VERY SMALL. SUSPENSIONS ARE INFREQUENT. Only One Out of Every Ten Dismissals Is Due to Continued Absence From School. St. Louls has the prize school boy. No city in the country can produce his equal. He beats them all in attending school, is the most obedient and plays hookey the least, That is what Supt. Soldan says, and he thinks his annual report now in prepara- tion will shorv the St. Louis schools are far in the lead in regard to management and holding the interest of the scholar. The table of suspensions is an interesting item, and it is with pride the school offi- cials tell you that no city in St. Louis’ class can show such small numbers for the year. With the outcome.of a few remaining days of the year in doubt, the list of suspensions for 1897 has not passed the 400 mark. The Superintendent hag not made the exact com- putation. Last year 344 students came under the ban. That figure will be increased by prob- ably sixty this term. This larger number is no discouragement to’ the teachers, however, as they say the causes for dismissal have been less flagrant. Talking in class and continued disobedience are the more common causes. A small per centage of the number is girls. While this proneness to “whisper in the school room is well established, the teacher as a rule can check this loquacious inclination with a little display of authority. Impudence and deception cause not a lit- tle trouble and a few suspensions, It is the truant that furnishes the most interes*ing item, The principals say but not surprising, seeing that he was nearly three times her age. The chief mistake she made was remaining in his office. aiter the reports, which no doubt Richards, in his wild genlquey, Kelped to start, got into cir- culation.’”’ Mr. McCann was much amused at the re- H. Brown, the father of Miss Brown, against certain mysterious other persons whom he charges with ma- ligning his daughter. “The old man would not harm a chicken,”’ said the ex-deputy sheriff. ‘‘I think the women he refers to are the Misses Smith, whose family own a small farm near Bunk- er Hill. They are cousins of Richards, a little nearer kin than the Browns. I think now that Richards is dead they will inherit the bulk of his prone sy- They are not friendly with the Browns, though they are related. I suppose Brown accuses them of aiding in the circulation of derogatory re- ports, though I doubt if they did, for surely they could not have looked with favor upon Richards’ infatuation. “It is a most deplorable affair all around. It will break up the Brown family, cost Hedley his social position in the town, and it has already deprived the community of its leading spirit. “Mr. Hedley has some means and his wife is reported to be quite well off.” NO LONGER DIVIDED. College Sodality Settles the Billiard Ta-. ble Controversy. Peace has been declared in the ranks of the Young Men’s Sodality of St. Xaxier’s Church, and again the organization is in perfect concord. ’ Prefect Rossman called a special meeting to settle the billiard controversy. After two hours’ vigorous debate the devotees of the game won, not only their point, but an «n- creased appropriation to keep the hall and tables in the finest order. The antis accepted defeat gracefully and a motion to forever bury the question met with enthusiastic applause. Only $5 to Chicago and Return.

Se ee es ie Ae * S one is found in éve.y ten dismissals. They | account for this by explaining their individ- 'ual systems of eatching the erring lads and reporting their conduct to their parents. In some cases, if a boy be absent from one session a note will be sent to his home ac- quainting his parents of his absence, _Other teachers use a regular card which is ad- dressed to the absentee’s father and dropped into the post at the close of the session. Some West End parents whose suspicions have been aroused furnish the teachers with postal cards. There are divers ways of locating truancy, but the note and card system has proven most effective. Con- an ued absence without excuse and negli- gence on the part of parents to correct the child are invariably the cause for expul- sion. When the offense is slight the diffi- culty is settled out of court, and no report is made to headquarters. | It is only where the child remains awa repeatedly and the parent cannot or wi not assist in making him attend pequiariy that his name is handed to Prof. Soldan for dismissal. The experienced teacher can note the changes of season in the year's truancy list, Tired of play and idleness, the boys look on school as a relief after the summer.

The Board of Directors of the Merchants’ Exchange, at their regular meeting Mon- day afternoon, decided to strictly enforce hereafter the rule of the Exchange which prohibits non-members and@ visitofs from transacting business on ’Change and which provides for the fine or suspension at the discretion of the board of any members who knowingly transact business with a non-member on the floor. The board decided not only to discipline members who violate the rule, but also to debar offending non-members from the é@n- joyment of the courtesies of the Exchange. The resolutions on the death of ex-Presi- dent Thomas Booth were adopted and an engrossed copy ordered to be sent to the family of the deceased. The question of funding the bonded in- debtedness of the Exchange was laid over. The petition asking that the Exchange be closed at 12 o'clock on Saturdays, regard- less of whether Saturday was the last busi- ness day of the month or not, was indorsed and will be submitted to a vote of the members. It was decided to open the doors of the Exchange at 9 o’clock a. m., instead of 9:15. A communication was read from H. C. Withers of the Lower Illinolg Valley As- sociation of Green County, Ill, asking that an Executive Committee be appointed by the Exchange to act with that association to secure the improvement of the Illinois River in connection with the Chicago drain- age canal. E. O. Stanard, Joseph Brown, Capt. Isaac M. Mason and Norman J. Col- man were appointed on this committee. The petition that Broker A. E. Babcock be given a hearing on his application for membership was denied. Mr. Babcock’s original application was signed by Gov. ar ei Roger P. Annan and Michael] Me- nnis. The application of the Standard Elevator Co. to have its elevator declared “regular” was referred to a special committee ap- pointed by President Langenberg. The Grain Inspection Committee were re- quested to confer with the-inspection boards of Illinois and Missouri with a view to se- curing uniform inspection rules. A communication from the West of Eng- land Corn Trade Association regarding the delays in the delivery of flour was referred to the Traffic Bureau. Nine new members were received by transfer and the certificates of three de- ceased members were redeemed. The President was authorized to appoint three delegates to represent the Exchange at the meeting of the Transmississippi Congress to be held at Salt Lake City, Utah, July 14. CLAIMED SELF-DEFENSE. .

HOT WEATHER VACATION WILL SOON BE ON. LEARNED JUDGES PERSPIRE. The Increase in the Judiciary Is Rapid- ly Clearing the Circuit Court Dockets. aoe If there is any St. Louisan. skeptical enough to doubt that summer has come, he should make a visit to the Court House. No other place in the city has more of a summer air about it. Everybody from the learned Judge on the bench down to the low- ly black man who sweep the vast accumula- tion of dirt, sweats from the time he ar- riveés until he leaves. The Judges of the courts are congratulat- ing themselves on the fact that they will soon enter upon a summer vacation. One division of the court will be held open for the transaction of business, but the others will close durimg the intensely hot portion of the summer. The date of adjournment, has not yet been fixed, but it will be some time in the early part of July. Division No, 5 is the one that will be kept open. Which one of the Judges will preside there during the summer has not been determined. Court attaches say that the enactment of the law giving two additional Judges to St. Louls has wrovant a wonderful change the volume of litigation. ‘Prior to the appointment of the additional Judges,’’ said Deputy Circuit Clerk Jeffrey, “‘the dockets in the various divisions were always crowd- ed with delayed Htigation. As a matter of fact, the dockets are not yet cleared, but they are being worked much more rap- idly than under the old system. It used to be that nearly a year was required to get a case to trial. ow that time has been. reduced by half, and in future the condi- tions will of course grow better. The law has not yet been In effect long enough to demonstrate just what can be done. One thing is certain, however, the two new dl- visions have already decreased the volume of pending yi gga and it is evident thar the Ry ee will soon catch up with their work.,.”’ The law giving two additional circuit udges to St. Louis was enacted by the islature two years ago. In May. : Judges John M. Wood and Thomas J. Rus- sell were apointed by Gov. Stone. They qualified immediately, but it was the middle of June before they commenced operations, owing to the timer aired tn a their court rooms. At that time ere was a vant, asa of om ei that had been piled up for a long time. In a city the size of St. Louis there Is enough difference of opinion as to right and wrong to keep an army of lawyers busy. There is litigation everywhere, even in the peaceful rura!] precincts, and it is but natural that where more than half a milion petuss are crowded together as they are™in 5t and lawyers.
