(A Seven-Foot Bull Snake of Sociable Disposition Coiled Between Two Barrels. ‘Holy Moses! Sam! Sam! Come here, quick!’ yelled Benjamin Burenstein to his Partner, Samuel Epstein, in the HNquor store of Epstein & Burenstein, 208 South Broad- way, Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Burenstein did not wait for his part ner to “come quick,” but ran out to him. He was terribly agitated and dreadfully ex- cited. Hts face was pale and his eyes stuck out till you could scrape ’em off with a chip. If Mr. Burenstein had been a stouter man a doctor would have said apoplexy had marked him. He trembled in every limb and each individual hair stood upon end. The most casual observer would have known that Mr. Burenstein could a tale un- fold, but he was speechless. He pointed to- wards the rear of the store. “Are you crazy, Benjamin?’ demanded his partner, but Benjamin only continued to shake and point to the rear of the store. Epstein went back into the store to see In the rear of the store are a dozen barrels of whisky on tap and a number of jugs, for the trade of the frm ie largely in jugs. “Wow! Wow! Help!” shrieked out Ep- stein, and he, too, rushed out to the front of the store. He looked like Burenstein. The customer whom Burenstein first start- ed to serve thought he had struck a lunatic @sylum and the half-grown clerk looked on fa fear and wonder. Bome of the neighboring business men gathered about the front of the store. Ep- etein and Burenstein continued to point to the rear of the store. Both seemed to regain their voilees at the same instant. “Snakes! Snakes!"’ they said. The neighbors were disgusted. They thought the two partners had been patron- iging their own store too freély. But they are temperate men, notwith- etanding the steing about their names, and @ neighbor who Knew this ventured back to eee what was the matter. Between two whisky barrels was colled a huge snake. His head, as as a man’s fist, protruded a foot over the coil. His forked tongue darted in and out and his beady oxen giittered ominously, The brave man called back the others. With a lon pole the snake as stirred up and he crawle cown from between the barrels and among the juge on the Moor. He was seven feet long, red, white and black, and was big enough and repulsive enough looking to justify the trepidation of Epstein and Bu- renstein. Burenstein had gone back to draw a jug of whisky. As he stoop:d over to unlock the faucet the snake stuck out his head a few inches before Burenstein’s eyes, He jumped back, dropped the jug, which spread into fragments on the floor, and struck a lightning clip of speed for the front door. When Ppstein went back to see what was wrong with Burenstein the snake’s head was in the air, turning from side to side, as if inquiring as to the trouble. Bpstein got within two feet of the reptile before he faw it. One glance was enough, and he rushed out and fell in Burenstein’s arms, The neigehors turned an empty barrel down on the floor and poked the snake into it with a pole. The barrel was then turned up on end, a corn sack put over it, and when the barrel was again upset the snake was in the bag. “That snake's worth $0 to a museum,” gaid one of those in the crowd. But Buren- stein and Epstein were in no frame for bual- ness. They told the man who had captured it to take the snake away; they h seen enough of it. With the enake in the bag hung in the middle of the pole, two men carr.ed the enake off in search of a pur- chaser. The reptile {s a bull snake, and probab! belonged to the Texas Snake Show, whic was located in the building two doors south of Epstein & Buernstein’s store, recently, It is believed that the snake . escaped, crawled through the cat hole in the back coor of the whiskey house, and fed on rats and mice, and the neighborhood cats, several] of which disappeared gener ogg XY after massing the threshold of Epstein & Buren- ‘tein’'s door. Had Epstein & Burenstein -nown that snake was in their store no eens would have been transacted by The last time a snake was at large in St. — Was Several years ago, at Martin lenry’s, corner of Sixth and Market streets, trusts and the yeueniee of the act applied to them rather than to the large combina- tion usually known as trusts. SNe thought an amendment should be made specifically exempting labor unions. President McKinley agreed that the labor unions should be protected and spoke of measures in which he had taken an in- terest in former years, He did not, how- ever, seem to think there was much danger of their being classed as trustg or sub- jected to penalties. ‘“TInless you believe, aS some people do,” said Mr. Gompers, “‘that labor unions are an evil, I think you will agree with me that their’ existence should not be endan- gered by this bill.” who consider trade unions an evil,” replied the President, and he finished the sentence with the words quoted at the beginning of this dispatch. COCAINE FOR THE EYES, Said to Enable Firemen to Look : Through Smoke. NEW YORK, June 24.—An experiment has been made at a fire in the downtown district which may prove of immense benefit in fighting the flames. Dr. Gustav Schoeler, who is attached to the fire department, went to each company stationed at the blaze and with a little brush put a drop of cocaine in the eyes of every fireman. This was the result of some teste which have been going on in the department by which it has apparently been proved that the cocaine would enable the men to look through smoke for fifteen minutes or more. FOUND DEAD. Sudden Demise at Washington, D. C., of Representative Edward Dean Cooke of Illinois. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 244.—Congress- man Edward Dean Cooke was found dead in his room at the Cochran Hotel this morning about 56 o’clock, presumably of heart dis- ease, Mr. Cooke retired about 11 o’clock last night, apparently in perfect health. At 2 o’clock this morning, Night Clerk Cochran was called to his room and found him suf- fering from nausea, but he soon recovered and declined to have a physician called. He returned to bel and nothing further was thought of the matter until Mr. Cochran returned to the hotel about 56 o’clock this morning, and went to Mr. Cooke's room to inquire for him. Mr. Cooke was dead, and the physician who was immediately sum- moned said that he had apparently been dead for several] hours. The members ofthe lilinois delegation were at once notified, and the Sergeant-at-Arms took charge of the body, which will be prepared at once for shipment to Chicago. Mr. Cooke was a native of Iowa and & years old. He was educated in the public schools of Dubuque, and Jater was graduated from the Columbia University Law School of Washington and admitted to the bar. In 1882 he was elected to the Illino's Legisla- ture, and served on important committees in that body. He was elected to the Fifty. fourth Congress from the Sixth Illinois Dis. trict and then re-elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress. The Sea Lark Safe. PORTSMOUTH, June 24.—The training brig Sea Lark, concerning whose safety anxiety was expressed, reached Spithead to- day to take part in Saturday’s naval review.

CHILLICOTHE, Mo., June 24.—The $5,000 damage suit which was filed last week by Samuel H. Skinner, postmaster at Avalon, against the Mail and Star, the Democratic newspaper of Chillicothe, was dismissed to- day.The Mail and Star published an affidavit made by E. A. Seely, postmaster at Wheel- ing, in which Seely sa!d that A. E. Nay had shown him Skinner’s note for $150 in at- tempting to sell him (Seeley) the Wheeling postoffice. The suit was brought for Skin- ner by C. A. Loomis, and the defendants had made arrangements to take depositions all over the district, in order: that the post- office deals might be brought out. As soon as notices to take depositions were served on Loomis, he had the suit dismissed, and this action is taken to be a virtual con- fession, In one of the rooms upstairs over the saloon | a museum man lodged, and he had several | big king snakes in a box. One morning the fastenings of the box became loosened and the biggest snake got out. He crawle up into the window and on the awning frame, Two hobos, who had been carrying the banner al] ses t leaned in conversation against one of the awning posts. That was the post the snake selected for his descent to earth, He slid off onto the shoulders of one of the men.

STORM’S TRACK WAS NARROW. The Wind Came in the Night and the Geesy Family Could Not Escape. KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 24.—A special to the Star from Salina, Kan., says: News _has just reached here of a tornado which passed fifteen miles northwest of this city about 10:30 o’clock last night. As far as heard, three are dead and a number dan- gerously injured. The dead are: Mrs. Anna Geesy, aged 34; Nola Geesy, aged 13; Ida Geesy, aged 9. Four members of this family are also badly hurt. Geesy was away from home. The re- mainder of the family had retired, and when the storm struck they made for their cave, Before they had gotten out of the house, however, the tornado had destroyed it. The work of destruction was not known till this morning, when neighbors found the dead and injured members of the family lying about in the debris. The three dead were found about fifty fect east of the house, and near them the baby, alive, but buried to her waist in dirt. The other three were found some distance west of the house, A two-by-four scantling was driven through one of Mrs. Geesy's legs. The bodies were removed to Mrs. Dean's, the mother of Mrs: Geesy. At Mrs. Storey’s, a half mile east of the Geesy place, the family were sleeping in a stone basement with a frame upright part. The framework was blown away and the timber blown onto the family below, but none of them were killed. The stonework was uninjured. At G. W. Morris’ the kitchen was torn down and a grove of trees was leveled to the ground. } The track of the storm was narrow and very winding. It tore down three sides of ' the Geesy pasture without passing through the middle of itz It came from the east, and after doing its damage here the main storm divided, part going west and the rest north, There are rumors of other casualties, but particulars are meagre.

NEW YORK, June 4.—Mre. Johanna Dreyer is the wife of a tailor. She met the Czarina and members of her suite at an Austrian health resort two years ago, and now she imagines she is a Queen de- prived of her throne. She called on Mayor Strong and requested the payment of a million dellars and from others she has ently asked the return of like pin money. neidentally she began to destroy house- hold effects. In the lunacy court she talked for an hour, almost convincing the court that she was not only not crazy, but was a lost Queen. She will probably be put under restraint. POWDERLY'S PAY. Reported That He Is to Be Commis- sioner of Immigration at New York. Mrs. NEW YORK, June 24.—The Journal and Advertiser says: President McKinley, !t is said, has decided to appoint Terrence V., Powderly, formerly General Master Work- man of the Knights of Labor, Commission- er of Immigration at this port, to succeed Dr. Joseph H. Senner. This information reaches the Journal from a prominent local politician, who returned yesterday from Washington. This man has been friendly with the President for many years and de- clares that the whole matter has been set- tled, and that Powderly’s name will soon be sent to the Senate. It is said his appointment is to pay for his support of the Republican candidates and platform last fall. ‘It ts further said that the steamship companies, as well as the regular labor organizations, are opposed to the selection of Powderly. The opposi- tion of the steamship companies will, how- ever, cease, as they are interested in land- ing all the emigrants they can and an un- friendly Commissioner could make it very uncomfortable for them during the four ' years of his term. The local Republican machine will prob- ably try to stop Powderly’s appointment. Most of the leading Knights of Labor fn this city are very much opposed to ex-Gen- eral Master Workman Powderly being ap- ointed Commissioner of Immigration, or appointed to any Government position. ‘hen it was rumored first, about two months ago, that he might be appointed a protest was sent to Washington from a number of local Knights, stating that, in their opinion, he was not fitted for such a position. It was said here last night that the Knights of Labor throughout the country did not share the feeling of the New Yor Knights against Powderly. It was also said that the Knights here will probably send another protest to Washington against Pow- derly’s appointment. FORTY CENTS A DAY. Wages Earned by a Retired Millionaire of Connecticut.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June %.—The most intense heat that has prevailed in Central Kansas for several years, has been experi- enced for the past four days, the thermom.~ eter averaging 100 and finally reaching 104.

TORNADO STRUCK THE SUBURBS. THE TWISTER UNROOFED A POOR HOUSE BUILDING, GREAT DAMAGE IN FOREST PARK Path of the Storm Was Narrow and Is Marked by an Utter Destruc- tion of Foliage That section of St. Louls beyond Tower Grove was visited by a tornado early Thurs- day morning. At 5:45 o’clock the witltt tore in from the northwest and played havoc with public Buildings and trees on the grounds. The path of the twister was narrow and most of the damage done was south of Ar- senal street. The Poor-héouse suffered most. One of the largest buildings, aside from the main structure, was partly demolished and glass was shattered @n other structures, There was a panic and wild cries from the 1,800 persons who are inmates at the Poor-house, } The building that was partly demolished. sheltered seventy-five patients, all of them cripples. When the roof was taken off part of the upper walls fell in and bricks rained down upon the f!nmates on the second floor. Several of them were hit, but none were in- jured. That there was not loss of life is Gue to the hour at which the tornado etruck. Everybody was at breakfast, and the men who were in charge in the d!fferent wards had the patients under control. In the building which was damaged the most, a structure known as the old pauper hospital, the overseers had to fight with many of the inmates to keep them from running out doors, where the shower of bricks and timbers threatened life and I'mb, So frightened were some of the men that they had to be thrown on the cots and held there until the wind passed. Following the blow, which lasted but three minutes, there was a deluge through the roofless structure, and everybody was saturated. ; The tornado swept from thre Poorhoe into the grounds of the Insane ‘Asylum. There some glass was broken and a wild scene ensued, but not much damage was done to the structure. The building was evidently out of the direct path of the storm which tore through the trees In the front part of the grounds, then passing a quarter of a mile further west on Arsenal street took an upward turn toward the clouds. The grounds around the Insane Asylum are covered with limbs of trees and trunks that have been torn up by the roots. Probably here and along Arsenal street 1,00 trees were blown down or ripped of branches by the wind. Supt. J. I. Overbeck of the Poor-house was standing at a window a few minutes after 6:30 o’clock, when his wife called his attention to the clouds in the northwest. ‘I thought the moment I saw them,” said Mr. Oberbeck to a reporter for the Post- Dispatch, “that we would soon have @ strong wind, but before I could dress the storm was upon us. There was @ dash of rain and then a how! of the elements. It was not a twisting cyclone but a tornado, Its path was narrow and I saw it distinotly as it swept across the fields, “Soon after the crash assistants ran te me and told me that one of the buildings had been unroofed and other damage done, I hastened out, but the patients In the old hospital had been quieted and were being carried out of the wrecked bullding.” Mr. Oberbeck took the reporter to that portion of the grounds where the most dam- age was done. The old paupers’ hospital is a two-story bullding of brick and ts just eouth of the main structure. To the east is a large vacant space and there was lying the roof of the building which had been lifted bodily off and deposited almost intact on the ground. There were also piles of brick that had fallen from the upper walls. “If the blow had come an hour later thers would have been great loss of life,” said Mr. Oberbeck. “The place where the roof fell is used for exercising purposes and be- tween 7 and 8 o'clock several hundred per- eons gather there. It was the rarest good fortune that nobody was in the yard. Thomas Elliott was in charge of the hoe pital when the storm struck. “I thought the entire bu'iding was go- ing,” sald he, “but I at once realised that the patients would have to be kept in doors. There were seventy-five of them, and in epite of their being cripples, they made things lively. Men who had not been out of bed tn months jumped around the room and tried to escape. The coffee and porridge had just been placed on the little tables beside the cota, and in thelr con- fusion all the dishes were thrown to the floor. Fee ee dese ae a stampede, and I had to throw some of men on the cots and hold them there, “They shouted, yelled and prayed, nobody was hurt, save for a bruise or While the excitement was at at the hospital, there were yells and in the female ward of the Ineane arent. where the crashing of glass Hilt bhi | : ! | : i ke a é ty, cosgs!

The storm struck Forest Park with par- ticular force. Senator Schweickhardt came downtown in his buggy Thursday morning and thus told the story: “Forest Park looked like a wreck after the wind passed over ft. The trees are lev- eled in every direction. The storm played with the big and little trees alike, snapping them apart as though they were twigs. I was surprised at the extent of the damage. It was ali done in a minute and the keepers out there were sure another tornado had swept over the city. “There was no special damage to the buildings, so far as I could learn, and the Park Commissioner has put a large force of men at work clearing away the wreckage of trees. A few of the largest shade trees in the park are among those that were snapped. Itrwill require lots of patching to put the park in conditior again.” A reporter went over the Houseman line from the city to Meramec Highlands. The first evidences of the storm were seen at Tuxedo Park. From there west, on every Side, could be seen trees blown down, or partially standing, with their limbs broken and hanging to the ground, and in a few instances they were uprooted. A partially erected grocery store on Shady avenue, in Tuxedo, was blown flat, the wind carrying the boards thirty feet from the foundation. At Webster the wind was most destruc- tive.

C., June 24.—Senator Hale did not intend to hit the railroad lob- byists and the lobbyists of the Sugar Trust to-day when he introduced his proposed amendment to the rules prohibiting ex-mem- bers of both houses lobbying on the floor. He was after some of the ex-Senators and Representatives from the Northwest, who have been lobbying for the duty on hides. Senator Allen made it plain, however, that the lobbyists of the railroads and the trusts of all sorts are making life a burden to the members of the Senate. They way- lay Senators every time they step out of the chamber and the ex-members boldly talk to them on the floor. Ex-Senator Kellogg of Louisiana, ex-Sen- ator Fenton of California, ex-Senator Gib- eon of Maryland and ex-Senator Call of Florida are on the floor nearly every day, Some of them are financially interested in pending legislation. The surprise which Mr. Hale sprung was a proposed amendment to the Senate rule admitting to the privileges of the floor of the Senate only ex-Senators who are not interested in any claim or in the pros- ecution of the same, or directly in any bill pending before Congress. Added to the text of the proposed change is the following: “The purpose of the proposed amendment is to prevent ex-Senators from enjoying the privileges of the foor of the Senate for the purpose of “— gS or opposing claims or bills in which they are employed as at- torneys.”’ THE HOUSE.

Then too, the Northwestern Senators are et ill angry over the*wool schedule and Senator Foraker and Senator Quay are inclined to resent the treatment they have received. Many propositions will be discussed to-night. It is certain now that the tax on hides will remain in the bill and that the roposed duty on beer will be dropped.

TREATY Citizenship and Large Property Inter- ests at Stake on the Ha- waiian Islands. WASHINGTON, June 24.—The gist of the protest of Japan to Hawaiian annexation which was read to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations yesterday is as follows: The acquisition of Hawali by annexation to the United States -would deprive the resident Japanese in the tslands of rights to which they are at present entitled under the present treaty with Hawaii. At pres- ent there are 25,000 Japanese in the islands, with large property rights, and under the present conditions they are entitled to be- come citizens of Hawall. In case of annexation these Japanese could not become citizens of the United States, as the decisions of the United States Circuit Courts are to the effect that no Asiatic can become a citizen of the United States. By annexation the Japanese now residing in Hawali would be subject to any measures that might be adopted by the United States. They would lose the right to become citizens and to vote; the large interests owned by Japanese citizens in the islands would be greatly jeopardized: therefore the Japanese Government must firmly protest against the proposed annexa- tion. Hawalians in Washington insist that the reason for the protest of Japan against an- nexation is that Japan really desires to ac- quire the islands herself. The main point of contention between Japan and Hawali over the treaty between the two countries, it is learned, is as to the wording of the treaty which Hawall seek to abrogate. This treaty has a provision “that it may be terminated at any time by mutual consent.” This is construed by the Japanese govern- ment to mean that the treaty cannot be terminated without the consent of both governments, and as long as Japan insists upon keeping it in force it cannot be abro- gated. The Hawatian contention is that the words have no such meaning and that any contract or agreement can be dissolved by mutual consent as a matter of course; that if the claim of Japan was valid the treaty would be in effect-permanently, It és understood that Japan insists that her present claims must be acknowledged and accepted by the United States in case of annexation, although protesting against annexation. BRITISH POSITION. The Government in No Hurry to Inter- fere With Annexation. LONDON, June %—In the House of Commons to-day the Parliamentary Seo- retary for the Foreign Office, Mr. Curzon, replied to the question of Mr. Beckett, Coneervative, regarding Hawalian annexa.- ar.

THE HUNGRY PED. Jubilee Dinners Given the Poor of Lon- don by the Princess of Wales. LONDON, June 2%4.—The Princess of Wales’ jubilee dinners to the poor to-day were very successful. About 3,000 inhabi- tants of the slums were sumptuously en- tertained at the various centers.

HIS An Anglo-Belgian Movement De- signed to Take the Mahdists Be- tween Two Fires. BRUSSELS, June 2%.—The Reforme says that it learns from a good source that the entire Dhanis expedition to the head- waters of the Nile, including Baron Dhanis himself, has been massacred. Baron Dhanis last year enlisted 6,000 men in the Congo Free State to take part ina secret expedition. The British Government allowed .a number of its Hussas troops to join the expedition, but it was officially de- nied that an Anglo-Belgian movement had been concerted against the Mahdists. The general impression, however, was that this force intended to act in conjungtion with the Anglo-Egyptian expedition up the Nile and take the Mahdists between two fires and eventually complete the reconquest of the Soudan. In August last Baron Dhanis was reported to have arrived at Lado. north of the ‘erri- tory of the Congo Free State, on the White Nile, and 825 miles north of the Victoria Nyanza. It. was then understood thar the Dhanis expedition would push on northward in the direction of Khartoum. Early in December last it was reported that the expedition had met with disaster and that Baron Dhanis had been killed. Later it was authoritatively stated that there was no ground for the report and that when last heard from, in September, the Baron was at Stanley Falls, 600 miles from the nearest Dervish forces, . Baron Dhanis was born ‘in London In 1862, of a Belgian father and a mother of Enzg- lish extraction: In 1884 he became a lieu- tenant in the Infantry regiment and later was entrusted with a mission to Zanzibar by the International African Association. He s00n displayed considerable ability and was appointed by the Belgian Government to the command of the expedition to Katanga. He defeated Gongoluttete, one of the most ag- ressive of slave trading Arabs, defeated Lefu. and Munie Moharre and captured Nyangwe and Kassongo. Dhanis also in- fiicted a crushing defeat upon Rumaliza, completely overthrowing the Arab rule in that district. Later he returned to Belgium and was made a Baron by King Leopold. His ve! oC hiaggnh to the command of the Anglo-Belgian secret expedition against the Mahdists was the next chapter in the ca- reer of this officer. SCHOOL BOOK COMMISSION.

YERKES’ COMBINE. Electric Company Consolidates With the Pennsylvania Iron Works to Make Street Cars. CC ~_ CHICAGO, IlL, June A.—The Times-Her- ald says: The long-cherished plan of Chas. T. Yerkes, the street railway. magnate, to manufacture all machinery needed by street” ra'droads in Chicago, New York, Philadel- phia and Pittsburg, has at last been real- ized. The Siemens-Halskel Electric Co., with its bie factory in Chicago, is now being consolidated with the Pennsylvania Iron Works of Philadelphia. A majority of the stock of the Chicago company has already been exchanged for the stock of the Penn- sylvania. The minority stockholders have been given sixty days in which to accept the offer of the Eastern concern. With a comb'ned capital of $3,250,000, the two companies will manufacture street rail- way machinery for the four big cities. The first news of the projected consolidation of the two companies was gleaned from the reauits of the annual meeting of the Chica- go concern. The directors elected at that meeting were as_ follows: Charles T. Yerkes, Chicago; W. I. Elkins, Jr., Phila- delphia; R. Suydam Grant, New York; Charles B. Yerkes, Chicago; B. W. Grist, Philadelphia; P. W. Whitridge, New York; . T. Butler, New York; E. T. Rice, Jr., New York; Martin Maloney, Philadelphia. The new directors are C. Yerkes, W. I. Elkins, Jr., and B. W. Grist. Mr. Elkins is the son of W. I. Elkins, Sr., of Phila- delphia. The directors elected a set of officers headed by Charles E. Yerkes, a son of Charles T. Yerkes of Chicago. Whether the name of the Chicago con- cern will be dropped or changed has not yet been decided. The entrance of the big street railroad men of Chicago, New York Philadelphia and Pittsburg into the field of manufacture will cut, it is said, a tre- mendous figure with the electric companies that have practically had a monopoly of supplying machinery for the railways.

A trenchant answer to anti-fusion leg- Pslation in Republican States is the action of the silver forces in Iowa. Three conventions met.in Des “Moines Wednesday. One of them represented the Iowa Democrats, another the silver Republicans of that State and a third the Jowa Populists. A ticket was nominated. to which all three of the conventions contributed. The Democrats nominated candidates for Governor and Supreme Judge. The silver Republicans furnished the candidates for “ieutenant-Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Populists named the candidate for Railroad Com- missioner, All these candidates will appear on one ticket headed ‘“‘Democratic.’’ The Iowa Republicans have put in the statutes of that State a law forbidding the printing of the name of any candidate more than once on the official ballot. But men who @re really in earnest care little about party designations. What they want is the substance of things done. The pot- house politician who conjures with his old tricks now finds his occupation gone, There is little doubt of a Republican Gefeat in Iowa this year, a Oe REPUBLICAN FEAR IN OHIO. There is no trumpet blast of a victorIl- ®us party in the platform of the Ohlo Republicans. There is nothing of ag- gressiveness, nothing of conviction and nothing of resolution in the first formal Republican party utterance since the in- @uguration. On the contrary, the Ohio Republicans have struck a weak and quavering note which is eloquent of dis- appointment and apprehension, It might well be expected that in Mc- Kinley’s own State, and in a convention dominated by McKinley’s Warwick, Mark Hanna, there would be a bold and ring- ing declaration of the “overshadowing fssue’’ on which McKinley was elected last year. But nowhere is any formal and emphatic indorsement of the gold stand- ard found, The word “gold” is avoided as if it were a pestilence. The word “‘sil- ver” is as oarefully steered clear of. There is some vague talk about an “‘hon- est dollar” and a most perfunctory and half-hearted reaffirmation of the McKin- . ley platform of 1896. But nowhere a pos- itive, courageous and confident expres- pion on the financial question. This cowardice can have but one mean- Inge. The Republicans of McKinley's State, knowing that the Democrats of that State will make the fight on last year’s lines, are afraid to meet the ques- tion. They are trying to run away from their party creed. Their platform is not one of defiance, but one of evasion and, Practically, of surrender. POOL-ROOM GAMBLING. The refusal of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson to issue any more war- Pants against pool-rooms, pending a de- dision of the court as to the men already arrested, is a high-handed proceeding igh, if allowed to stand and become precedent, would make laws against crime @ farce and uphold the hands of law-breakers generally. The police, or any cttizen who felt him- self injured by. the pool-rooms, had the right @s soon as the “Breeders law’ was in force, to apply for warrants against the pool-room managers, and the Pros- apg Attorney had no choice but to sue all such warrants upon the prop- erly attested application therefor, If, instead of applying fora warrant against @ few of these gamblers, the police had et first applied for warrants against every one of them known to be breaking the law, the Proseouting Attorney would undoubtedly have issued warrants for them all, and the police could have ar- rested all of them. . Because the police made the mistake of applying for warrants against only a’ few of the gamblers, the Assistant Pros- eouting Attorney takes upon himeelf to temporarily annul the law, pending the trial of the arrested men. Suppose this absurd principle were oarried out In the ease of other law-breakers. Would the Prosecuting Attorney refuse warrants against , pending a court decision ee e burglars, c ing that the Democrats were betrayed opposition. Of course this is all chatter. cared to inform themselves. representatives of all the elements of common sense of politics. in any forum. which he was also willing to straddle. THE RUMPUS OVER THE PLATFORM. Senator Vilas of Wisconsin, one of the most vociferous of the Cleveland cuckoos, is making a frantic play to the galleries by tearing his hair and shout- in the framing of the tariff plank of the Chicago platform. His point is that the omission of the word “only” after the words “for purposes of revenue” was the result of a deep and dark conspiracy consummated in the room of the Platform Committee, and in spite of his (Vilas’) Senator Vilas has made no new discovery, nor has he disclosed anything that was not perfectly well understood by those who With the exception of an amendment offered by a member of the Texas dele- gation, the tariff plank of the Chicago platform stands now exactly as it was originally framed. And it was framed originally after careful consultation with opposition to the Money Power and its instrument of oppression, the single gold standard. The framers of the Chicago platform understood perfectly that issues had been forced to the front sincg 1888 and 1892 which overshadowed the tariff issue in importance and in far-reaching consequences to the people. that the result of the campaign of 1896 would be determined, not by anything chat was said or left unsaid about the tariff in the platform, but by th® position taken on the money question, and by the forces that could be rallied to the peo- ple’s side of that question. Not being doctrinaires, and having a solemn sense of the necessity of making the people’s fight a winning one, if it were possible, they knowingly, intentionally and deliberately so phrased the tariff plank in the Chicago platform as to surrender nothing essential in the Democratic doctrine on that subject, and at the same time not to repel support from quarters where the Democratic tariff doctrine in its entirety is not as yet fully accepted. Instead of being “treachery” to the Democratic party, this was simply the Instead of being*done in the secrecy of a committee room; it was done knowingly and publicly, for reasons capable of being justified They realized Senator Vilas’ horror at this alleged “betrayal” is very amusing to those who know the part he took in engineering the deliberate and intentional straddle of the money question in the platform of 1892, which he helped to frame. editor of the Post-Dispatch is in a position to state from personal knowledge that Senator Vilas, when a member of the Platform Committee of 1892, urged and insisted upon such an evasion of the money question as would enable single gold standard men and bimetallists to help the Democrats win on the tariff question, His position appears to be that to deceive the people in 1892 with an evasive declaration on the money question, intended to be interpreted both ways, was perfectly right and proper, because it was done by the Cleveland cuckoos for the benefit of the Money Power; but that it was a base desertion of party principle in 1896 to abstain from stating the party doctrine on the tariff question in a form that would have repelled support of the more vital issues raised by the Chicago platform. Senator Vilas is now outside the Democratic party, and he only renders himself ridiculous by making faces and scraping on the fence. The viously arrested? If this practice is to stand, all that will be necessary for law- breakers will be to get one of their num- ber to ‘‘feel the way’’ for them by break- ing the law in advance. When he is ar- rested they will have a free course until the courts can settle his case. Is Mr. Johnson a friend of the gamblers, or a sworn servant of the law and the people? . , ——, ee DEFAULTERS IN NEBRASKA. Nebraska has suffered much from de- faulting officers, and in so many cases have the defaulters managed to escape justice that a mob a year or two ago thanged a defaulting County Treasurer who had surrendered himself for trial. It is something of a new departure that ex-State Treasurer Bartley, who stole nearly half a million dollars from the State, has been convicted by the trial jury in his case. He is to take an appeal to the Supreme Court, but the evidence se- curing his conviction is so clear that noth- ing but a glaring and fatal error in the proceedings can force a retrial unless the Nebraska Supreme Court is so strongly prejudiced in favor of embezzlement as to take advantage of technicalities. Bartley’s punishment would be of ex- cellent service to Nebraska in convincing dishonest men in office that honesty is the best policy, and in assuring the people that, without the lawlessness of mobs, guilty men cannot escape, —_———-( > o— Ex-President Harrison told the Indiana Bar Association yesterday that the com- mon law is capable of application to the new and multiplying problems brought out by the advance of civilization, Trusts and monopolizing corporations will prick uptheir ears at this. They will naturally suppose that the ex-President, who is a corporation lawyer, has found something in the common law that will enable them to further “advance civilization,” after their own way of doing. ws Senators Carter and Shoup ought long ago to have perceived that in the Mc- Kinley Administration, mortgaged as it is to the dear-money interests, there could be no hope of financial relief to the coun- try. The pretended friendliness to bi- metallism has been the merest sham, in- tended only to keep silver Republicans in the- party. Every silver Republican, in Congress or out of Congress, should unite with the silver voters, es The faithful Treasury officials, who have so long been straining their eyes for signs of our delayed prosperity, are joy- ously chanting that there is a demand for small notes earlier than usual this year. There is nothing, however, in this news. The increased armies of straw. berry pickers and blackberry gatherers have had to be paid. If, in a well-guarded election, in which an honest vote could be obtained, the people of Hawaii were to declare a de- sire for annexation, it would then be time enough to consider such a union, Without such a declaration we have no more right to take possession of the islands than we have to seize Madagas- car, - - e_—— With three men from the one town of Danville, IlL, called to Washington by Mr. McKinley to aid him in conducting the Government, is he not likely to arouse the wrath of the patriots of his own State of Ohio, who have made government a study ever since Ohio men began to get into the White House? It ts the business of the olty to detect defective street paving, but only on com- plaint has it become known that the Del- mar work has not been properly done. Contractors who cheat should be denied the privilege of bidding again on any city contract, Though Gen. Miles longed for a gaudy dress, his plain uniform appears to have pleased the jubilee people by its contrast with the more showy and less sensible wear of other prominent officials. Our distinguished warrior may now see his error. President Andrews raised the standard of Brown University to a very high de- gree and greatly increased its attendance and reputation. His liberal views are be. different from those he entertained when he agrepted the position he now holds, and they were at the time well known to the directors who are seeking to drive him out. The arrogance and folly of the Plutocracy have grown with the privileges they have enjoyed. that Mr. McKinley had won golden opin- ions. Mr. McKinley is altogether too golden, and it is well that the silver Re- publicans are beginning to get their eyes open, to the fact. Reductions in mill wages are an- nounced from Muncie, Ind., and mills in Lowell, Mass., will be run on “short time’ and “half time.” Senator Elkins’ remark that “wages must come down” was timely. ——, It would be too bad for a gold admin- istration to get into a war with Great Britain over the ownership of the Rainy Lake gold lands, Let us have peace— and free silver. The Post-Dispatch’s exclusive use of the afternoon Associated Press 4dis- patches gives it an advantage well un- derstood by newspaper makers and news- paper readers, a A se Gen. Gordon has been re-elected Com- mander of the United Confederate Vet- erans. Gen. Buckner at no time stood any chance of election to the place. Advertising in a newspaper that main- tains a circulation so great as that of the Post-Dispatch develops whatever pros- perity there is to be had. —_ ——_ The Sugar Trust wants to contro] all our coffee as well as all our sugar. Surely our cup is full. i ccC_Ls Too Much Learnin z. From the Louisville Times. The Baptist ministers of Kentucky evi- dently prefer to believe that immersion is a tenet which has been practiced from the beginning, since they yesterday requested Dr. Whitsitt, the president of the great Baptist Seminary here, to resign. The doc- tor’s discovery that sprinkling was first practiced by the Baptists, and that im- gnersion was substituted in the seventeenth century, brought on him a deluge of wrath which is about to wash away his office. The doctor made the mistake of telling what.he had found out, or believed he had found out, in the British Museum. Reflections of a Bachelor. From the New York Press. Most men think more of thelr wives than they don’t admit. Probably the Lord made Eve to show Adam what he escaped. Every man has a streak of genlus, but in most men it’s all streak. A woman's argument always reminds you of the,way she ties her necktie. A woman keeps cool by not getting hot, and a man gets hot by not keeping cool. A woman learns to cry whenever she wants to, so she can cry whenever a man wants her not to. —_ —— So Fond. From the Cincinnat! Enqutrer. Mrs. Ferry: { never say a boy so fond of pets as Bobby js.

About thirty barrels of salt are turned out every day. 4 ' When Queen Victoria married Prince Albert she was attended by twelve brides- maids; of these, three are yet living; they are the Duchess of Cleveland, who its the mother of Lord Roseberry, the elder dow- ager Duchess of Bedford, and Lady Jane Bouvine. The last named is the daughter of the Earl of Radnor, and was extremely peautiful. It Is said she was much ad- mired in society, but marrying a commoner, she retired to cheerful obscurity, ONLY IN FUN. | Wheeler: 1 hear Sprockets married a tar- tar!

PROMISES WERE FALS ‘McKinley Prosperity Is Not Apparent in the Effete East. Ed T.

These institutions are sim- ply sapping the life blood of legitimate busi- ness enterprises. If the courts do not check them in their disposition to centralize and combine capital it will only be a few years until syndicates and trusts will have absolute control of the government. The tendency of these institutions is to fill the cities with unemployed. You noticed the consolidation of three large gas companies in New York the other day. his of course is for the purpose of reducing expenses by the dismissal of hundreds of cenpreree: thus increasing the dividends, which last year amounted to over four million dollars. These conditions are causing the people of the East to wonder whether the gold stand- ard is really a good thing after all. One 0 my friends, the vice-president of a large financial institution in Philadelphia, ex- pressed himself to me as confident that silver sentiment is rapidly growing in Penn- sylvania—ten times stronger than it was eight months ago. “Mr. Wanamaker has badly rattled Quay and the Republican bosses in Pennsylvania by his bold statement of facts. I believe a Democratic Governor will be elected there next election. The next Mayor of New York will doubtless be a man who stood with the regular organization of the Democratic party n the last campaign. ey: while speaking of pros- perity, I am reminded that I asked an offl- cer of a large syndicate in this city the other day as to the condition of trade in his line. e told me his gales had decreased $100,000 each month for the past quarter of a year. The product of this syndicate Is consumed la ly by the middle classes— they haven’t the money and can not buy.” AN EVIL REMEDIED. Shipments of Grain to England Are No Longer Delayed. At the last meeting of the Board of Di- rectors of the Merchants’ Exchange a com- munication was received from the Bristol Channel and West of England Corn Trade Association in reference to the delays at- tending the delivery of flour and mil precagre on through Dills of lading between he Western States and ip 3 he com- plaint stated that shipments of flour were often delayed seve months in transit, causing considerable loss to the receivers, owing to fluctuations in the market. Similar complaints were also received from other trade centers, The communication wae referred to the Traffic Bureau for investigation and ac- tion. A thorough investigation reveals that, although these evils did exist to an alarming extent, they have been remedied, and ship- pers may now, by taking proper precau- tions, be assured that their shipments will arrive at their destination within a reason- able time. Traffic Manager Vanlandingham, after considerable correspondence with the vafi- ous steamship lines, has ascertained that on al] shipments thorugh Boston contracts can be made specifying the sailing during the first half or the last half of a given month. Shippers can, therefore, so time jm nt contracts as to have no unreasonable elay. The Warren Line, Liverpool, says: ‘‘We will agree to shippers that flour for our line will be shipped from the seaboard within thirty days from its arrival in Bos- on 7 ‘ The Cunard Line, Liverpool, will make contracts for special Sailing, the time to be specified when the contract ls made. The Leyland Line, Liverpool, is willing t make contracts specifying that sailing wil be during the first half or last half of a given month, The Furnen Line, London, will agree to similar terms and the Johnston Line of London will also make contracts of that character. Contracts thorugh Philadelphia can be made for flour to travel within & specified time, provided the shippers will designate the time limit for leaving the seaboard when the booking is made. The Allan Line, Glasgow, is willing to make contracts for specified sallings, say within three weeks from arrival at the sea- boar. The investigation also shows that, in the majority of cases, the delay in transit was caused by the ignorance or neglect of the shippers. Only a small percentage of the de- layed shipments complained of were from 8t, Louis. HE LOOKED FOR WORK. John Coleman Was an Easy Thing on the Levee. John Coleman came down from Moberly, Mo., looking for work. Thursday he told the police how he had been worked. John got board at 2127 Washington avenue. He sallied out hunting for a job. He had some money, a good watch and a little jewelry. Down near the levee two negroes accosted him. They wore badges on their suspenders, and said they were members of the police force. They were getting up a raffle and had a number of tickets. On some of the tickets were figures. Others were blank. They allowed John to draw. He drew one worth $75 on the book. This they said entitled him to a $75 suit of clothes. But he must deposit $20 with them. He did not have the money so he pawned his watch and jewelry. The negroes grabbed the money and escaped. Detectives O’Connell, Williams and De- war arrested Bob Mitchel] and Will Young. They answered the descriptions given by Coleman. On their person were found the tickets. They were arrested a few days ago for working the lock game on Washington avenue. DR. LEWIS’ FUNERAL. He Will Be Buried From St. John’s M. E. Church Friday. The funeral of Rev. Dr. J. W. Lewis will take place at 9 o'clock Friday morning from &t. John’s M. B. Church South, Twen- ty-ninth and Locust streets. Dr. Lewis died Thursday evening at his residence, 8883 Washington avenue. He was born tn Huntsville, Ala., in 1882, and took a theological course at Princeton, coming to Missouri as soon as ordained. For a time he had charge of Walnut Street Church, in Kansas City, and afterwards filled the pulpits of the old Firet Church St. John’s Church, Centenary Church and Cook Avenue Church of ‘his elty, and the Southern Methodist Church at kwood. About six years ago he retired from active work in the American Bible Boc’&.y on ac- count of failing heeith. He leaves two sons and one daughter.

FATHER TUOHY PREPARING TO MAKE VIGOROUS DEFENSE. INDICTMENT NOT YET READY. Retreat for the Clergy Has Dolayed Ac- tion in the Case Against St. Patrick’s Pastor. The annual retreat of the clergy has tem- porarily suspended work on the indictment against Fr. Tuohy of St. Patrick's parish. The committee preparing the charges has yet much to do, and it is doubtful if their finding will be laid before the Archbishop inside of two weeks. Just what progress has been made, or how far the investigation will be pushed, is not known to any but the committee. Mgr. Muhlsiepen will g:ve out nothing until the report is in the hands of the metropolitan. Meanwhile Fr. Tuohy is preparing to make the hottest defense that has ever been waged in the church in America. He has retained a prominent civil attorney to pre- pare his evidence on strictly legal lines, and before the ecclesiastical court the will be represented by two of the most able canon- ists in America, Aside from the unpleasant charges in- volved the priesthood not only of St. Louls but of the country is deeply interested in the outcome because it will a measure establish the scope of an archbishop’s authority, heretofore unknown oe ok since none have had the temerity to chal- lenge it. Another point that needs clearing up is the authority to remove an unwilling pastor who has not been guilty of intemperance, immorality or other charges mentioned spe- cifically in the canons. Mismanagement is not construed a crime against the church and, the defense will hold, cannot be punished os “Every inch of ground will be bitterly contested,” said qa priest Thursday, ‘and I the fight is conducted along the lines indi- cated by Fr. Tuohy a final verdict cannot be reached before next January or Febru- ery. “The first move on the part of the defend- ant’s counsel will be, as lawyers term it, a motion to rs the indictment on the of lack of jurisdiction, their client aving broken no canonical law. ment on this will take some time. If the motion ig overruled a change ° venue wi be asked, which means more ment and delay. Canonical law will be invoked at every stage of the pro- ceedings and I anticipate frequent appeals to the highest church authority to pass upon questions in dispute. The fall months will then be on without the case being formally — “Then will come the fight on the evidence, then the verdict. If against Fr. Tuohy a notice of an ap 1 will be tmmediately filed and the whole court will move to Washington. ‘The defense will harass the prosecution at every opportunity and I will be greatly mistaken if Archbishop Kain does not weary of it all and order the matter dropped.” The committee of St. Patrick’s parish- ioners having in charge the defense fund, reports encouraging progress. Cards with receptacles for coin are being prepared and will be circulated in a few days. “We will get the money all right,”’ said one parishioner, confidently, “and if Fr. Ea. cannot get justice in this country we will go to Rome for it.” An Auditing Committee composed of home Grimes, Richard Keenoy, Florance ‘urran and James Murphy, is now going gree Fr, Tuohy’s books to learn the true nancial standing of the parish. In the interview with the parish commit- tee last week the Archbishop sald Fr. Tuohy should have $800 cash in hand, The auditore find this has been spent in much-needed im- provement, and in precisely the way the er explained its disbursement. urs- ay evening the committee will compare the pine and receipts with the entries on the 8. They say they are greatly handicapped in their investigation by the loose way in which Fr. Tuohy’s predecessor, Fr. McCaf- frey, kept his records. ese will be thoroughly overhauled when the present pastor’s administration has been gone over. According to a close friend of Fr. Tuohy, the rector’s first assistant, Fr. Hayes, may be called upon to give somg sensational tes- timony relative to the Archbishop's atti- tude toward his chief. It is stated that Fr. Hayes contributed $5,000 to the Archbishop's cathedral fund. This generosity is said to have so pleased the metropolitan that the priest was promised a pastorate. Whatever change this may have made in the Archbishop it did not interfere with the amicable and edifying relations between the pastor and his head assistant. PEABODY AND STORTS. Diurnal Dispute Between Jurist and Barrister. The daily collisions between Attorney Brock Storts and Judge Peabody of the First District Police Court are as much a part of the routine proceedings as Clerk Bader’s “Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!” Thursday morning the trouble arose over over an application made by Storts for a change of venue in a case of minor impor- tance. Storts first asked for a continuance. ‘“T overrule the motion,” said His Honor. ‘Then I move for a change of venue. Will you overrule that?’ “Yes, I will!” snapped Judge Peabody, who by this time was wrestling with his temper. “This is not the time to file a mo- fon for a change of venus. If you don’t ag how to practice law you ought not to ere.”’ “I've been practicin in this cellar,” retors I know my business.” “If you don't atop pour noise, I'll have you locked up,” said the court.

Marriage and death crossed the threshold of the Meyberg family in one day. Invitations were out for the marriage of Miss Aimee Meyberg to Dr. Wm. A. Lewin, set for Wednesday, at 6 o’clock. The cere- mony was to bs a high event in Jewish social circles. The bride’s mother, Mrs. Jonas Mey- berg, whose husband is a member of the Meyberg-Rothschild and Meyberg-Starr Hat Cos., has been seriously ill and the preparations for her daughter’s wedding worried her, because she was too ill to take part in them. When . Martin Ritter, who was to act as best man, arrived Tues- day, a consultation was held and it was decided to hold the marriage quietly and say nothing to Mrs. Meyberg until it was over. Accordingly, the license was pro- cured and the party drove to Rabbi Sale’s residence, where the ceremony was quietly performed. The couple hurried home to break the good news. They anticipated a pleasant scene, for ‘Mrs. Meyberg had frequently ex- ressed the hope that she might live to see er daughter happily wedded. When they arrived the shadow of death | had already crossed the threshold, During the absence of the bridal party Mrs. Mey- berg sank into unconsciousness. She died @uhout learning of her daughter’s mar. riage. Mrs. Meyberg was buried Thursday morn. ing at 10 o’clook. $12 for the Round Trip.

Walter GratHFiles a New Petition for Divorce. Walter P. Grath, whose bill for divorce from Bessie M. Grath was dismissed by Judge Spencer Tuesday because the plain- tiff did not establish sufficient cause for divorce, has again filed a suit for divorce. His petition was filed in the Circuit Clerk’s office Thursday morning. In his new peti- tion he makes the same allegations as be- fore—that his wife went to resorts of a disreputable nature with other men against his wishes and greatly to his shame and humiliation. He says that she insisted upon entertaining men at her home at unsea- sonable hours. He adds toward the end of his petition a clause he did not have in the original to the effect that she had violated her marital vows at various times with different men.

Harry Lacey and Florence Stewart Are in Custody. The police think a good capture was made when Detectives Walsh and McCarty ar- rested Harry Lacey, alias George Scott, and Florence Stewart, alias Hurley. Lacey has served terms in the Missour! penitentiary for daylight burglaries and was in the reform school before he was of age. He is wanted for a burglary committed in the Sixth District five months ago. it was through his connection with the Stewart woman that he was caught. She was the consort of George J. Miles, who is | under indictment for murder in the first degree for killing Policeman Hennelly ina saloon at Fifteenth and Morgan streets, a few months ago. After Miles was sent to ail, Lacey took up with the woman. She tad rooms at 207 North Fifteenth street. The police say Lacey was connected with Jim Miles, a brother of George's, in a bur- glary in the West End, five months ago. Miles is in the Work-house now for the job. Lacey was not arrested at the time. A num- ber of skeleton keys, a jimmy, etc., were found in his possession when he was ar- résted. Chief Desmond thinks he has been connected with other robberies, and a thor. ough investigation will be made. Mr. Powers’ Explanation. John Powers of 3116 Hickory street de- nies that his 14-year-old son is known in the neighborhood as “Jesse James No. 2” on account of the lad’s bloodthirsty dispos!- tion. Mr. Powers adds, also, that this story concerning his son was circulated by a slan- derous neighbor. It is true, he says, that Grattan did shoot a boy with a toy pistol last Fourth of July, but it was an acc.dent, He admits, also that his son did cut Frank Zimmerlich of 2737 La Salle street a few days ago, but says it was in self defense, and positively that the quarrel was not his gon’s fault. To prove his regret for the oc- currence, he says, he engaged at his own expense Dr. Pirtle, who is treating young Zimmerlich, and that at the request of the wounded boy's family Grattan was not rosecuted. Grattan Powers fs a fine look. ng youngster and looks to bs anything but the little tough the slanderous stories made him out.

Louis when they arrive that w'll make the fans think they are looking. at the old- time pennant winners. “They play a game full of ginger, now, and it is a good nine. I am positive that there are at least three clubs we will beat out. “You know how it was when we went away? The players were afraid to move off a base. Now they take every chance, and keep the game going lively, win or lose. “We had a tough time of it on the last trip, and I insist that we were robbed of some games. In Washington Sheridan eimply gave the games away. I told Nick Young beforehand not to send us that man, and when I reminded him of it after we had been robbed, he said he had forgotten about it, or he would have given us anoth- er umpire. “In one game Grady had a man out at first and had him blocked off. He called to Sheridan to come and see that thé man was out and had never touched the bag.

He is no good at all. He is one of the kind that always wants a lower berth in the Pullman, and he no more than has his breakfast swallowed than he wants to know what time the dining car will be put-on the train. From the way he eats he ought to be the best pitcher in the country. ; “Without those two I still have four good pitchers, Donohue, Hart, Carsey and the new man, Coleman. He is from Atlanta, and is said to be a good one..

He used his head in the game and kept the hits well scattered. Coleman is too strong a pitcher to be in this part of the country and he is very apt to land in better company before long.’ “He showed up pretty well in precsies yesterday, and I guess he will be all right. “We had great times in Philadelphia, and when we beat them with their own players, Stallings, the manager, actually cried. Rogers would not talk to me, and eent word down to the club house for the play- ers to stay there until he went down to talk to them. “The crowd was pretty evenly divided be- tween St. Louls and Philadelphia, and some of them did not know who they were root- ing for, really. “The club is dissatisfied with Dowd on second, ‘and would not to-day make the trade they did with me. “We have got a good team now, and there is no reason why we can’t win. All that is needed is a little team practice. There are six new men, Grady, Hallman, Harley, Carsey, Lally and Coleman. The pitchers are good, the infield is a eplendid one. Hallman is a first-class second baseman, Hartman is coming around all right on third, and Grady is a strong man on any team. He is a hard player, who is never beaten,.and a good man at the bat.

Saturday’s Big Derby a Match Between Typhoon II. and Ornament. “What will the weather be?’ This question horse owners and trainers, jockeys and touts and everybody at the Fair Grounds was asking everybody else Thurs- day morning. Saturday, when the great St. Louis Derby is to be run. derby so much as a special and race between Ornament the two greatest and fastest 3-year-olds in training on the American turf. The question referred to It is not looked upon as a reat match and Typhoon IL., There aré other good horses in the race, and the winner of the rich prize might tufn up in Boanerges, the horse for which Mc- Guigan refused $10,000 a few days ago, or n Buckvidere, or any of the others in the race, but horsemen generally expect it to be @ great struggle between Typhoon and Orna- ment, and to see those two in a mighty battle all the way of a mile and a half and fighting all the way down the stretch to the wire, With good weather the crowd will be tre. mendous. Unfortunately, there will be no sensational, or even fast time made in the race, The heavy rains of Wednesday night and Thursday morning spoiled that chance. Wednesday the track was bad and lumpy from preceding rains. Good weather and warm sunshine Thursday and Friday would have made the course as fast as you please by Saturday. As it now is a heavy track is the best that can be hoped for. Both Ornament and Typhoon II. will take to heavy going all right, but if there is more rain Friday or Saturday some of the cal- culations of the wise ones mag be upset. Typhoon II. is entered for his final work in the fourth race, at a mile ureday afternoon's card. ven his final work ednesday had left the Thaning cest..as ‘ © ground, Dut he was runnin same.

Only two days more remain for the rac- ing men to enter who expect the plaudits of the people and chunks of precious yel- low metal of the ‘“‘Gold Brick” meet of the St. Louis Cycle Racing Association, July o The entry list will positively close at 6 p. m. Saturday night, with Secretary W. P. Laing, at 1111 Olive street. Mr. Laing desires to have racing men understand the importance of sending in their entries prior to that time in order that suitable provision may be made for the accommodation of the large number of contestants who will take part. Entries have already begun to pour in from local men and a goodly number have been received by mail from outlying towns in Missouri and Tilinois. Mr, Laing says that inquiries for entry blanks have never been so brisk in his ca- reer Aas a race-meet promoter. Inquiries have been received from every town of any fmportance in cycling within a radius of 200 miles of St. Louis. If this may be taken as a criterion, the fields will certainly be larger at the “Gold Brick” meet than ever before. It is almost a cer- tainty that it will be necessary to run trial heats in the morning. There are two handi- cap events on the programme} one race at a mile and one at two miles. These events will, no doubt, bring out all of the amateurs in St. Louis. In addition, there is the mile novice, one mile open, the record-breakers’ race and the pursuit race between J. C. Weidner and Felfx Gast. Mr. Weidner and Gast are training hard and faithfally for this event, and it is un- derstood that neither of them will start in any of the other races. LIVE BIRD CHAMPIONSHIP. Five Experts Will Contest for the Trophy at Du Pont Park. The live bird championship of St. Louis will be decided at Du Pont Park on Satur- day, June 26. The entries will close at 3 o’clock Saturday.

The beautiful medal is now on exhibition at a Broadway sport- ing goods house. HARVARD STOCK GOES UP. The Crimson Oarsmen Have Upset All Calculations. POUGHKEPPSIE, N. Y., June %4.—Yes- terday’s defeat of Cornell’s junior oarsmen, of whom s0 much had been expected by local enthusiasts, has sent the stock of the Ithacan 'Varsity below par with the bet- ting fraternity. The Yale contingent, how- ever, have been wonderfully moderate in their jubilation, Because the Harvard freshmen, of whom little was expected, were second in yesterday’s race, Harvard ’Var- sity stock has advanced notably. It is now conceded that there is every probability that the Cambridge.’ Varsity crew will give Yale and Cornell one of the gamiest fights that ever was witnessed on American waters. ——— Ornament Arrives Friday. At noon Thursday General Manager Rob- ert Aull received a telegram from Charles Patterson, the owner of Ornament, stating that the great horse would be in St. Louis Friday morning. Base Ball Briefs. Gus Schmelz was presented with a hand- some Elks charm by Earl Wagner after the latter had released him from the manage- ment of the Washingtons. The attendance in Baltimore is much smaller than a champion team should draw. The people are evidently tiring of seeing the Orioles outclass everything else in the league. New York administered another defeat to Baltimore Wednesday, while Boston beat Brooklyn and again went to the top of the league procession. Thie see-sawing be- tween the two leaders may be looked for almost daily for some time now. Although Carsey pitched a fine game in Cincinnat! Wednesday, Dwyer did better, and the Browns were held down when hits meant runs, being able to score but once in the nine innings. hard luck and the Cincinnati outfielders made several grand stand catches of what looked like three baggers and home runs.

Bonsack, Miss Rosalie Palmer- of this city, formerly spend the summer at MR. KARR WANTS ROOM AND POWER, THE WORK-HOUSE IS NOT BIG ENOUGH. PRISONERS TO BE SET FREE. Superintendent Thinks He Should Have Discretionary Power in the Matter of Punishment. Nicholas Karr is a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. His lot as Superin- tendent of the Work-house is not a happy one, His perplexities are great. Two problems are clamoring for solution— accommodations and discipline. The lack of the former increases the difficulty of maintaining the latter. The Work-house is again overcrowded. Another batch of half a hundred criminals will have to be turned loose on the community, because the ad- ministration needs all the money that can be raked together for ornamental jobs. Only a month ago, fifty prisoners, pre- sumed to be of Republican persuasion, were set free. The Sow gad | Monday a fresh in- fiux of 47 occurred. r. Karr says the ma- jority of these were the released. prisoners coming backefor another stay. Mr. Karr went up to the City Hall again Wednesday and told his troubles to Onkel Henry. “No usé talking,”’ he said, desperately, “‘we’ve got to have room down there. We've sot ’em stacked up on end and the walls are bulging. We'll have to either build some bay windows or turn a bunch loose.” he Mayor didnt’ think that was anythin worth worrying about. “Oh, well,” he sai “make out a list of fifty or so and send it up. We'll have to let some more go out.’’ Nicholas was still troubled when he talked to a reporter. ‘‘What’s the good?’ he gaid. “We turn ‘em out and they come back again. Inside of a week we are crowded as bad as ever. There are a whole lot of people who live in the public institutions all the time.« They play sick and get sent to the City or Female Hospitals. When they are discharged they pretend to be fecble and get sent to the Poor-house. By and by they get kicked out of there, “Then they do pong | and get sent back to the Work-house. here are a lot of chronics who live down there nearly all the time, As soon as they are released they come back, and why shouldn't they? It’s a nice place to live. They get good beds and three square meals a day. It’s a cool place in summer and a warm place in winter, «A lot of them are women, All the female» prisoners have to do is the scrub- bing. I give them their tasks in the morn- ing and in an hour or so they are through. Then they sit around the rest of the day and do nothing. They like that so well that we can’t keep them away.”’ “What are you going to do about it?’’ “I have a plan which 1 am going to suggest to the Mayor. It is to establish a rock pile for the females. It could be fixed up inside the inclosure with a canvas covering to pro- tect the women from the elements. I think if we had that they would not be so anxious to get back when they are released.” The discipline issue is raised by Mary Duffy, who has stopped at Mr. Karr’s hotel the greater part of the time for years. She is incorrigible, uses language which shocks Mr. Karr and his guards, and disdains to work. Mr. Karr has used his powers of persuasion in vain. He has thrown her into the dark bull ring and confined her diet to. bread and water, but these things do not bother Mary a little. She goes Mr. Karr one better by refusing to eat the, bread or drink the water. “I ought to have larger discretion in the matter of a et ek i said the Superintendent. ‘* Board of Charity Commissioners gets after me.

NEW YORK, June %.—The Mississippi River Commission convened in the army building here to-day and immediately went into executive session to deliberate on and possibly make some changes in the annual report of the commission. The report, as s00n as it has been put in the desired form, will be forwarded to Secretary of the Navy Long, some time between the ist and 10th of July Until the report reaches Secretary Long She commission will not disclose its tenor. The Congressional appropriation for dam- pee to property from the overflowing of Mississipp! River amounts to $2,933,333 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898. This sum will be distributed by the commission after the hearing of testimony on damages sustained in the three districts extending from Catro to the Gulf and under the ex- ecutive and disbursing supervision of the commission's secretary, Capt. H. E. Water- man of St. Louis, and district officers, Capt. George Mac C. Derby of New Orleans and lAeuts. H. C. Newcomer and M. M. Patrick of Memphis. These officers are in attend- ance on the meeting of the commission. Of the commission there were present Col. . Gillespie of New York, President, Maj. B. M. Hariod of New Orleans; Henry Flad and Amos Stickney of Louls, and Maj. G. H. Handbury and H. L Marinden of W ashington, dD. Cc. Only one member of the commission, Judge R. 8. Taylor of Ft. Wayne, Ind:, was absent. RUSH TO THE WEST. Large Numbers of People Taking Ad- vantage of Cheap Rates. DENVER, Colo., June 24.~—The special train schedule of the Denver and Rio Grande road for the Christian Endeavor movement from the East is completed. The result is a gratifying surpri se to officers of the road, and gives intimations of a rush of travel wholly unexpected earlier in the season. A month ago it was estimated that the low rates would bring 6,000 visitors into Colorado and through the State. The spe- eial train schedules of the Rio Grande road show that the transcontinental travel to the coast during the firet few days of July will exceed the estimate by several thousand, and nobody can prophesy the number of people the low rate wiil induce to come to olorado to spend the heated term. Be- Magee the morning of June 30 and the even- of July 5 twenty-seven trains will arrive enver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and , a westward over the atlo Grande. TOOK HER FURNITURE.

ST. LOUIS, June 24. An Indianapolis dispatch says that statistics gathered from 500 farmers in Indiana place the wheat yleld in Southern Indiana at from 72 to 75 per cent of a full crop, and in Northern and Cen- tral Indiana the yield is _— at from 69 to 71 per cent of a full crop. The harvest may exceed these figures, as there is some improvement. The Cincinnati Price Current says to-day: Favor- able weather has caused some betterment of the corn crop outlook, but high calculations are pot uarantesd by the average condition. The win‘er wheat yield is better than expected. Quality gvod. Spring wheat is progressing favorably, with en- couraging outlook. Oats crop irregular. Considerable short straw, but fair results probable. Week's packing 455,000 legs, as compared with 870,000 hogs last year. Reports from Indiana and Illinois state that the crops in some sections of those States have been badly damaged by the severe storms of the last few days. London cables state that there have been dam- aging rains in Roumania. Dornbusch says that the cereal crops are two or three weeks behind the condition that tbey usually assume at this season of the year. In France the condition of the wheat flelds has poe oe lege al- though large harvest results are out of the ques- tion. Spanish advices are fairly good, but the yield of wheat in Italy willl be much below the average. Advices from the Danubian provinces are very .discouraging and reports in regard to the Russian crop are rather disheartening.

W. A. WEST SEGUIN, TEX., AUTHORITIES SURD THEY HAVE HIM. REQUISITION APPLIED FOR. The Man Arrested in Texas Now Confi- dently Believed to Be Susie Beck’s Murderer. There is little doubt that Rev. William Abbott West, the murderer of Susie Beck in 6t. Louls in May, 1887, is under arrest at Seguin, Tex. Requisition papers were applied for Wednesday evening, and Detective Viehle will leave for Texas Thursday afternoon for the prisoner. The peculiar meseage given out by Chief Harrigan to the effect that the Marshal of —— BA Afi! Meg , ite, -_: 4 ff 4 / \’ aS * REV. WILLIAM ABBOTT WEST. Beguin had wired him “Description does not suit,””’ may have been a blind. All uncertainty now seems to be 4ise- Ppelled, and the murderer, who has evaded @rrest for ten years, will soon be behind the bars at St. Louis, Chief Harrigan thus explains the misun- derstandings that he claims have arisen over the case: “When I first learned that a supposed-to- be West was under arrest at Seguin I tele- graphed a description, and it was the answer to this telegraphic message that read: ‘De- ecription does not tally,’ “In the meantime I had sent a more com- plete description by mail and also a photo- graph of West taken just before the mur- er, ; “It is In anewer to this description that the message comes that the itdentification is complete and that the Texas authorities oe no doubt that the right man ig in cus- oaqy. ‘ “tT have applied for requisition papers, which will arrive this afternoon and imme- Giately on their receipt Detective Viehle will leave for Texas and bring West back.” There is much mystery surrounding this case, The communications received by Chi f Harrigan Monday and published in the Post-Dispatch that day stated that the sus- pect was known in Seguin as Williams and the fact that he was wanted for murder was divulged by his sister. The &t. Louis police were puzzled by this, a CS A A A te ae ne ee DR.

A reporter for the Post-Dispatch saw a telegram received by an official Thursda morning, which stated the name by whic West has been known during his stay in Texas was R. M. Naomes. West lived with his wife and family while he was pastor of the Methodist Church at Chesterton, Ind,, before he eloped with Susie Beck, the deacon's daughter, whom he poisoned. It is supposed that the woman who was believed to be his sister, once lived in Chesterton. Susie Beck died on July 18, 1887, and an autopsy revealed arsenic in her stomach, At the inquest enough evidence was secured to cause a verdict of “‘murder by arsenical poisoning.”’ SIMMONS DIVORCE SUIT. Wife of the Wholesale Millionaire Re- hearses a Long Story of Indignities. The default divorce suit of Emilie A. Sim- mons against Stanley W. Simmons of the milinery firm of Pratt, Simmons & Kraus- nick, was set for hearing on Judge Wood's docket Thursday morning, but was passed Over until after recess at the request of Attorney Charles P. Johnson. The plaintiff says that she was married to the defendant in Ohio, June 19, 1869, and lived with him until about June 30, 1896. Her husband, she says, hag continually and de- Perey abused and neglected her for a long period of time, often without cause or excuse, and called her vile and indecent names. He has frequently expressed a de- sire to get rid of the plaintiff, and on man occasions remained away from home until a late hour at night, answering her inquiries as to where he had been by telling her it was ‘none of her business.’’ During some erlods he would remain away from home or several days in the week. rior to and since their separation, she oors, he has openly kept company with other women, and made ft a oin’. to be seen with them in public places for the pur- poe of humiliating her. She says her hus- and is possessed of considerable property and enjoys a good income from his busi- ness. he asks for a decree of divorce and @ proper allowance for her support.

The — says her husband failed ani refused to support her and though fully able to do go, refused to geek employment, compelling her to depend upon her parents and relatives for support. On several occa- sions, she says, he did, by threats and de- ceptions, induce her to dispose of her jew- elry and personal effects for his benefit and that he apent the money 80 obtained in drinking and other diversions of his own. He frequently used vile and abusive lan- — e toward her and in Chicago on Octo- er 27, 1893, in a public hotel abused and in- sulted her in the presence of a large number of people. JACKSON CLUB.

ITS WORK TWICE DIVIDED. The Same Expense as Before the Excise and Licerise Offices Were Created. With all the efforts made by thé taxpay- ers to keep municipal expenses within a reasonable aggregate they appear to be foiled at every turn by the schemes of politicians. The office of Collector of Revenue, es- pecially, maintains its army of men, despite the fact that its duties and responsibilities have been twice divided in the past few years. It was thought when the office of Excise Commissioner was established the half of the Collector’s troublesome work had been taken away from him. This occurred in the summer of 1893. But it only resulted in disposing of the Collector’s force into a system of inspection, “whereby new stores and unlicensed mercantiéle business might be checked up and compelled to pay” as was and is yet claimed. A few months ago the office of License Commissioner was established, with a large clerical force, which seemed to have been inadequate, for the Assembly has just passed an ordinance increasing the number of clerks by thirteen, whom the Commis- sioner promptly appointed. Still the Collector holds on with an ever- grip to his staff of retainers. nal ordinance creating the office Ollector of the Revenue provided orce of twenty-five men—one at $2,500, two at $1,900, three at $1,700, two at $1,500, four at $1,150, four at $560, three at $900, three at $780 and three at $720 a year each. But there wag a proviso to the effect that the Collector may employ such additional temporary clerks as he may deem neces- sary, subject to the approval of the Mayor, at salaries not exceeding $900 a year each. Bince then the law has been twice amend- ed to increase the force. One amendment authorizing the employment of nine addi- tional clerks, was passed last year, three ears after the dramshop license business y been taken away from the Collector’s office. Mr. Charles F. Wenneker, the present Col- lector, said Thursday to a Post- ispatth re- porter: “There are now in this office 53 deputies and clerks. The ordinance specifically al- lows the retention of &. he average monthly payroll is $9 per man, making $4,770 a month, or $57,240 a year.”’ “Why are so many retained since both the dramshop and the license business have been taken away from the Collector’s of- fice?” was asked. ‘Because they are sti!Il meoquanty to the proper conduct of the office. For instance, the force of inspectors which used to pa- trol the city In search of merchants doing business without licenses is now doing duty as Deputy Collectors, engaged daily in en- forcing the law With respect to the payment of taxes. They are particularly alert as to the large delinquents. “And while on this point I may gay that within the next few months, or at the next term of the Circuit Court, t shall ee 1,161 suits against delinquent taxpayers. all do this not because it is any pleasure to me, but because it ls my duty and the statute of limitations will shortly run as to these cases.” “Why did you not make the one additional appointment of clerks allowed by law. and keep the number up to the limit?” “Simply because I determined that Attys three clerks and deputies could do the work, and the one more was not necessary. The transfer of the license business to the License Commieésioner naturally occasioned a isting of the men, but there !s plenty to do for all, As an instance, there was for- merly but one deputy at the levee to col- lect the boat licenses and taxes, which range from $10 to $180 each. I have put two men there, and it will pay. The re- tention of this force, which is the same in number as when I came [nto office, is what is known in the mercantile world as a good investment. The people want the taxes collected, and I am here to gee they are collected.” Nevertheless and notwithstanding the brave words of Mr. Wenneker, the taxpay- ers will be unable to see why 653 men are re- ulred to transact the business of the Col- ector’s office when at least one-half the original business is now being done by the Excise and License Commissioners at enor- mous additional cost. The License Commissioner now has two deputies, two stenographers, one secretary and sixteen clerks, or a total force of twen- ty-two persons, including the Commissioner. at an average monthly salary of $2,080, or about $25,000 a year. The Excise Commissioner has only five or six clerks, and an enormous amount of work. Yet the collector’s office still maintains its force of 63 men, and claims to find work for them, even after the creation of two separate departments designed to reduce the collector’s business at least one-half. The people do not understand where the “good improvement” comes in. Mr. Ziegen- hein said in 1893 it would come by increased collections, but there was a steady de- crease from that year forward in the col- lector’s office. The expected increase came through the excise office. Mr. Wenneker says again it will come by an increase in his collections, but why should not that increase be easily accom- plished—especially after Zdéegenhein’s rec- ord—with a largely reduced force in the Collector’s office? BIG DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. Residence of W. D. Walsh Looted by Olever Thieves. A bold daylight robbery that baffles Chief Desmond and his sleuths was worked about 5 o’clock Wednesday afternoon in the resi- dence of Mr. W. D. Walsh, 4840 Maffitt ave- tightenin The ori of Cit fora nue. The thieves got away with some jewelry silver and clothing worth several] undred dollars. There was no one in the house at the time, and the thieves, after entering, had a clear field. The detectives have “piped” Mr. Walsh into the bellef that the thieves will be captured and his stolen goads recovered, They told him not to say anything to re- porters about the robbery, and that the re- covery of the goods depended upon his silence. Mr. Walsh, however, said that by putting two and two together he and the detectives believe the trick was turned by more than one man. Several suspicious looking char- acters were seen about the neighborhood, two in particular. The detectives believe, says Mr. Walsh, that one of these two men is a crook badly wanted by the detectives for a number of other jobs. This man, at the time he was seen in the neighborhood, was reading a newspaper. Therefore, the sleuths reason that the crook reads the newspapers, will see this publication in the Post-Dispatch and will take the alarm and vanish. That is why they urged Mr. Walsh to say noth- ing about the robbery. SYRIAN BECOMES A CITIZEN. Saber A. Basiet Prefers America to His Fatherland. Baber A.

Sublette Avenue People Claim That Tower Grove Storm Sewer Is a Fever Breeder. Henry Vinsot in his own behalf and that of other residents of Sublette avenue has filed a suit against the city, the Board of Public Improvements, Robert BH. McMath and Sewer Commissioner Colby. Mr, Vinsot says that he has resided on Sublette avenue geince 1875, when, as he says, ‘there was @ branch or private water- course called the River Des Peres, the bed of which crossed or intersected Sublette avenue, which stream had for time out of mind carried and run the waters from the hills and adjacent uplands by a long, crooked and winding course to the Missis- sipp! River. “For upward of ten years, however, since 1885, whenever a heavy rain ensues, it has overflowed,and cast its waters in increasing volumes in each succeeding year, upon the level land or bottom areas that lie as does the plaintiff's land, about even with the banks of said stream.” The cause for this, Mr. Vinsot gays, he thinke is that new roads, boulevards and streets have been built, which carry the water off too rapidly for the stream to dispose of. He then gays: “The burden of water from the territory tributary to sa:d stream is already more than it justly ought to bear under existing conditions. He says he has from time to time raised his house to escape the ever advancing floods, without avall. e then tells about the passage of ordinance 18,167, providing for the Tower Grove storm Sewer district which was contemplated to relieve the Mill Creek sewer. This sewer, he says, was constructed and “even now its gaping and threatening mouth emits foul gases and fetid matter, poigon- ing the surrounding atmosphere, and lay. ing waste the health and comfort of plain. tiff as well as a large body of industrious pepe who live adjacent thereto. “That by reason of existing conditions typhold fever has been epidemic in the neighborhood, and fever and ague and other types of malaria prevail generally. 6 says also that it is notorious that tp the atmosphere of Forest foul and noxious vapors ndit ons the early mornin highway.

Young Mr. Clover, the City Attorney, made a grandstand play when he appealed against a decision of Judge Peabody ac- quitting Ben B. Studemeyer on the charge of maintaining a gambling device. Studemeyer is proprietor of the Ohio sga- oon at Seventh and Market streets. He ad a slot machine in his place that nobody but a policeman would suspect of being a ambling device, If a nickel were dropped n the slot a connection was made with a galvanic battery and the person patronizing the machine could get a shock. ere was a chance for him to get more than one shock and that was guaranteed. Judge Peabody heard the evidence and prompyy discharged the prisoner. Mr. over knew as well as an there was no gambling. But chance to vindicate himself for nolle ing cases against fegular slot machines, when, if the cases had been tried, a convic- tion might have been had. ‘Tl will napens from the decision,” young Mr. over, ‘I have been so severely criticised for my action in similar cases that hereafter when the wed loses in cases where charges of maintaining a gambling device are made, I will take an appeal and let higher courts determine whether they are illegal or not.” @ police have made out numbers of said biing devices. Thig is the first one that has come to trial: since the police began arresting the keepers for maintaining them a month ago. This machine of Studemey- er’s ig the first one that clearly did not pos- scss a vestige of chance. Mr. Clover realizes that Judge Peabody’s decision will be upheld by the higher courts. hen he will point to the cases that he as nolle prossed and attempt to demon- strate by the decision that his action in nolle prossing other cases was jutifiable. $19.60 to Toronto and Return Via Wabash July 18, 14 and 15, 1897.
