PAID FOR HIS POWER, ——" THAT IS WHY UNCLE FILLEY IS OUT OF IT. HOUSER CONTRIBUTED. The Republican Committee Demanded Money and Kerens Provided $41,000 St. Louis Owed. Chauncey I. Filley may as well hang up his harp and loose its strings, so far as the Federal patronage of Missouri and the Southweat is concerned, if a choice bit of political gossip that Is going the rounds may be relled on. R. C, Kerengs has 80 arranged matters with Mark Hanna and his underling, the Presi- dent, that none but Kerens’ voice will here- after be potent in the distribution of posl- tions, This pull has cost Col. Kerens a nice Httle sum, but he no doubt regards it as money well invested, and perhaps it is. The deal grows out of and dates back to the events by which St. Louis secured the national convention a year ago. It will be remembered that the Repub- lican National Committee met in Washing- ton in February, 1896, to decide on the time and place for holding the convention. We all remember what a struggle there was between Chicago and St. Louis, and how the latter won by outbidding all other compotitors. It was an open secret that St. Louis only got the convention by her people agreeing to pay all the expenses and to pay also the back debts of the National Committee, amounting, it was said, to some- thing like $654,000. : There was a tremendous kick at this last exaction. The promoters of the St. Louis boom were quite willing to meet all other demands, but at that they squealed. They said it was too much to ask, eto., but the National Committee and Tom Carter, who was then its Chairman, were out for blood and coldly said they must have that amount in addition to other demands. If St. Louls would not put it up some other caty would —anyhow the convention would only go to the city which paid the committee’s debts. Thus forced into a corner, St. Louis shoul- dered the debt. It was not all paid in cash, nor was it then demanded. It wags enough for the National Committee to have a sub- stantal guarantee. This was furnished by W. H Thompson, President of the. National Bank Lf Commeresé; Cc. Kerens and 8. M. Kennard. The convention was held, the ex ses paid, and after everything wag settled there was $13,000 left from the St. 2uls fund to apply on the $4,000 obligation. During the campaign payment of the $41,000 still due was not insisted upon. The committee did not ne it, for money was pouring in from al] dir@tions, The guarantee was perfectly good, Mr. Hanna, who had then become Chairman, thought it would be have on call, About @ month ago the National Com- mittee began to see a possible good use for the money. They wanted a little for the Ohio cam- waign, and the tariff Hterary workers were n need of funds, and there were a variety of such demands which the committee wanted to supply, So, in a cordially worded note, the Hon. Mark Hanna jogged the memory of Col. Kerens. About a month ago Mr. Kerens came to good to Bt. Louls with the intention to remain here: several weeks. One day he suddenly flew to the East—it was supposed at the time to ward off some political annoyance in Wash- ington. He did not go to Washington until after an PPOrL Ant visit to New York. This New York visit was to see his fellow members of the committee to see if their de- mand for the $41,000 could not be compro- mised or at least staved off, As the story goes Mr. Kerens saw from the first that the chlef burden of that ob- ee would fall upon ‘him, Banker ompaon is no politician; besides when he lent his name to the guarantee it was tacitly understood that he should not be called on for the money. It was usless to ask Ken- nard for assistance, So Kerens resolyed to raize the money some other way. He con- sulted Mr. D. M.. Houser and one or two other Republican capitalists, and received some encouragement. Still he. lacked a good many thousands of the required sum. Meantime some meddlesome, chirping bird poured into the ear of Mr. Filley a hint of what was going on, and made garcastic remarks. He talked exasperatingly of how eight years ago the Republican party had found Mr. Kerens’ financial promises but broken reeds, and that Kerens’ political promises generally were of that character. Many other taunts Uncle Filley indulged in, all of which were wafted to the ears of Kerens and they stung. Kerens got angry and after further con- sultation with Mr. Houser, he telegraphed to Benator Hanna, chairman of the commit- tee, to draw upon him at sight for the full amount. It was done about ten days ago, the money Was paid at the National Bank of Commerce and all is again serene. This happy solution of an embarrasdin financial problem may account for the sud- den appointment of Col. Houser’s brother- in-law as Consul General to Mexico, of one or two other appointments recently made in this neck of the woods, and it is cer- tainly indicative of many more appoint- ments that will adorn the Kerens list. Mr. Kerens and Mr. Houser are hereafter the Republican Powers of Missouri, Mr. Filley ja not In ve * , It is said that of the $41,000 pala by Mr. Kerena, $25,000 came from his corn private pocket. NEW USE FOR X RAYS. French Government Will Use Them to Check Smuggling. PARIS, June 2%.-—The French Government the X-rays as a means of checking emuggling. H'therto great quanti- ties of watches and other dutiable articles of high valuatjon have been concealed by stowing them in the legs of deal tables and ink receprpeies, and have thus escaped the notice of the customs officers. It is believed that by means of the X-rays the presence of such articles will be readily detected, VIOLENT HICCOUGHING. Bicycle Riding the Cause; Ice-Cream Was the Remedy.

His daughter-in-law was his housekeepe and care-taker. : She had married and buried a Mr. Alex- ander before she married and buried Mr. Williams’ son. Her experience with two husbands made her invaluable to the feeble old man. The supreme reward for her devotion is the love of a man of 9 and his Wealth. Mr. Williams has a daughter living.

Troops Asked For, but the Lieutenant- Governor Was Not Reached in Time. CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Miss., June 25.—The negro John Moses, who murdered an old man named Strong near this place a few days ago and who has been confined in the local jail wi strong guard since yester- day, confes: o the killing this morning, and shortly ihe guard was overpow- ered by a mob of two or three hundred men, mostly farmers. Moses was taken from the jail, and with a rope around his neck was dragged through the streets to a tree near the railway and hanged. He was dead or nearly so when they reached the place of nanging. Two requests for.troops to protect the prisoner had been wired to Jackson, but owing to the absence of both the Governor and Lieutenant Governor from the capital the troops could not be moved until this morning, when it was too late. After hanging Moses to the tree, some of the mob made a move to shoot him. The leader declared it should not be done, as justice had triumphed and that was all they wanted. The mob then started on a search for a negro preacher who had sworn that the murderer had spent the day on which Strong was killed at his house, and he knew he (Moses) was not the guilty person. He swore to a deliberate fle and the mob caught him and gave him an unmerciful whipping for false swearing. - At this writing (1 p. m.) everything is quiet, the mob has dispersed and the farm- erg have all gone home. TROUBLE IN FLORIDA. Outrage by a Negro and Eace War Threatened. KEY WEST, Fla., June %.—Sylvanus Johnson, a negro, committed a criminal as- sault on Mre. Maggie Atwell .Wednesday night. He was immediately captured and placed in jail. Two attempts were made to lynch him but were prevented by the Sheriff. Meantime the negroes have gathered and armed themselves. The whites are also heavily armed and feeling is very bitter. A conflict may occur at any moment, WASHINGTON, D. C., June %.—Gov. Bloxham of Florida has called upon the War Department for United States troops to aid him in yemormag order at Key West, which place he says is in the hands of a mob. No particulars are given. Secretary Alger is now tn consultation with the Presi- dent on the subject. The trouble is supposed here to have arisen from an attempt yesterday to lynch a negro accused of assault. During the pre- liminary hearing, a man named Pendleton arose in court and asked if they were not enough to lynch the prisoner. Great ex- citement ensued but the negro was jailed safely. Later in che afternon negroes at- tempted to mob Pendleton, but he was res- cu by the authorities. The local militia assembled at the Armory and slept on their arms as the attitude of the negroes caused apprehension of race troubles. UNITED DEMOCRACY. Silver Democrats of New York Have Organized, Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 2.—Another new po- litical party was born last night in Brook- lyn. It is the United Democratic Organiza- tion. Its sponsors represent about twenty independent organizations, said to repre- sent every borough of the metropolis. The meeting was enthusiastic in the ex- treme. Many speeches were made, the tenor of all being that if Tammany Hal] expected the support of the new organiza- tion they would have to reaffirm squarely and unequivocally the Chicago platform and nominate a Democrat for Mayor who openly supported Bryan. The leaders in the new movement are ready to support men like Justice William J. Gaynor, pate. George, William Sulzer. Col. Edward M. nox and Smith Ely. MRS. DUNCAN PELL, ACTRESS TO BE.

HIS WIFE ISN'T PERTURBED. Attracted by the Fatal Shot, She Found the Corpse and Sent fcr the Police. Because the wife whom he had abused and neglected for four long years recently filed suit for divorce Henry Hefferkamp killed himself shortly before 6 o’clock Fri- day morning in the front bedroom of his home on the third floor of 1518 Cass ave- nua, When his wife ran to the room upon hearing the shot she found her husband lying on the bed, partially dressed. In his right temple was an ugly bullet hole. His right hand clutched a cheap 32-calkber re- volver and in his left hand was a copy of his wife’s petition for separation. Hefferkamp was a carpenter, 50 years old, and made good wages up to four years ago, when he began to drink heavily. Since thgrt time he was of no use to his wife and five children. He worked of late only at intervals and what money he earned was spent for Hquor. Mrs. Hefferkamp supported the family by taking in washing. She is a slender, frail little woman and looks unable to do heavy work. Her husband’s death conveyed to her no sorrow. She did not faint, nor grow hysterical. When she opened the door to the bed- room where Hefferkamp lay, she took in the situation at a glance. Closing the door she resumed preparations for breakfast, and sent one of the children out to find a police- man. ‘ It was 5:80 o'clock when Adolph Welle, who sleeps in the front bedroom, left the room to go into the dining room for his breakfast. Asa he went out one door Heffer- kamp walked in by another. He had slipped on his coat and trousers, and thus attired, lay down on the bed. He gave no word of warning, but must have yeep and coolly pulled the trigger. F'e was drinking Thursday night, but was not drunk when he slew himself. Death was instantaneous, The divorce papers grasped in his left hand were fled two months ago. In the petition Mrs. Hofferkamp recites that she married Hefferkamp in 1881, and that for the last four years he has abused her with- out cause. has called her vile names and contributed nothing towards the mainte- nance of the family. Mrs. Hefferkamp made tion June for a_ police sOnmonn’ aoninal her husband for disturb- ing the peace. The case was to have been tried June 29.

He | GAMBLERS ARE PLANNING TO suffered from asthma. and it was ee ble for him to get his breath in a reclining position, He brooded over his condition and the fact that the doctors had given him up. Thursday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock he ended his misery by Ranging himself with a towel, in his room at the hospital. Elbert was a laborer, 36 years old.’He lived with his wife, and three children at 317 Russell avenue. For the last year he was unable to earn a steady income, and a week ago last Tues- day he applied for admission to the hos- pital. He was attended by Dr. J. P. Hen- nerich, the house physician. After an ex- amination the doctor told him that recovery was impossible, and that he could not live two weeks. His inability to sleep made the patient weak. Thursday he asked his attendant to retire for a few minutes. In one corner of the room was a brass railing screening the toilet room from view, the top of which was about twelve inches higher than Elbert’s head. He tiled one end of a towel around his neck and threw the other over the rall- ing. He then relaxed his knees and quickly strangled to death, The attendant says he was not absent ners than five minutes, but when he returned Elbert was dead. , The body was warm. Dr. Hennerich tried to resuscitate Elbert, but to no avail. The fact of Elbert’s suicide was not made public till Friday. Coroner Wait says that late Thursday afternoon he received a telephone message from Alexian Brothers’ Hospital stating that a man had died from asthma, and ask- ing if the Coroner wowld O K a certificate. The Coroner said “Certainly.” Friday morning the certificate came in. It contained the asthma clause and also read: ‘‘Strangled himself with a towel.” The Coroner at once reported the case to the police for investigation.

A desperate attempt is being made to re- store the old faro games, poker playing and the roulette wheel. The authority for this statement is Maj.

NEW YORK, June 2%.—The Mississippi River Commission resumed its session in this city to-day. There was not as large an attendance as there was yesterday. The first delegate to address the board was J. M. Whitehill of Arkansas City, Ark., repre- senting the Desha District. Mr. Whitehill merely pointed out the merit of the levee system, and asked for a fair apportionment for his district, and declared that the Gov- ernment. was practicing false esconomy in regard to the protection of the people living on the Mississippi banks. Gen. D. H. Reynolds of Chicot, Ark., de- nied that there was any acrimony or jeal- ousy between the various districts as to appropriations. Gen. Reynolds declared that most of the levees were make-shift affairs, Murray Smith of Vicksburg, Miss., stated that eighteen miles from Vicksburg, north towards Greenville, there was a stretch of riparian land unprotected by levees. When high water came this country was inun- dated, and the water backed up until it reached the levee locality and then swept behind the levee and undermined it. The same state of affairs existed south of Vicks- burg, near the mouth of the Black River. James Clinton of Natchez, Miss., con- firmed Mr. Smith’s statements. He said it would require $9,000 to put the unprotected districts in condition to defend the levees already built. The people of his district had raised $120,000 to preserve the levees, much of which money was wasted on account of the inundations of lands wjthout levees. ATTACKED PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Archbishop Hennessy Makes Some Re- markable Statements. DUBUQUE, Io., June %.—In an address to the graduates of 8t. Charles Academy at Sinsinaw, Wis., Archbishop Hennessy made an attack on the public school system. Speaking of religion and science he said: “They should not be divorced. They should be inseparable.

Visitors From the Gulf Caught in a Seine at Pittsburg Dyke and One Escapes. —_—_—_—-— “Long Jack”’ and Bill Miller, two of the best-known fishermen on the Upper Mixs- issippi, are hors du combat, if French may be permitted in telling a fish etorys from their meeting with a male and female alli- gator gar on the sandbar just above Pitts- burg Dyke, near the Illinois shore, below Fast St. Louis, at 4 o'clock Friday morn- ing. “Long Jack” is in his cabin in Bast St. Louis taking hot drame every half hour, fighting the chills and nursing a bruised back. Bill Miller is Mmping around the French Market telling his adventures and proving them by a bandaged thigh from which the skin has been torn as if by the claws of an African lion. The female gar at 11 o'clock Friday morn- ing was dying on the pavement at the south ‘end of the French Market, her final heaves and throbs making it advieable for specta- tors to keep at a distance. The male gar when last seen was disturb- ing the Mississippi in an angry endeavor to gat back to hie old home, the gulf. “Long Jack’’—his other name ig not and need not be known, so long as he fished and lied the dealers around St. Lotiis—and er have had their seins spread juet be- low Pittsburg Dyke for the last three days. They had bad luck. Their nets took in nothing. It seemed as if the fish had all gone away. Friday morning about 3 o'clock, or just at daybreak, when they went to their nets they found that one of their two seins Was torn. “Something has been around here eat- ing the fish,” said ea to Miller. ‘‘That’s why Wwe haven't caught anything for the last two or three days.”’ Jack began to roll up the damaged netting to take {[t home for repairs. Miller was some hundred yards distant, standing in the water waist deep, moving the other sein up and down to see if it had gathered anything, He suddenly heard Jack's loud cries for ar He splashex - the river to where ‘‘Long Jack"’ was dancing around, and grabbed the netting without knowing what was the mat- ter with his partner. Jack declared he had captured a whale, and giving his partner in- atructions to held the sein a minute, waded ashore for their skiff. He brought the boat back to where Miller was struggling with the ropes of the sein and the two then set to work to capture whatever prize their aaa had taken. As the net was rolled up two gigantic alll- gator gars were seen entangled in the torn cords and fighting viciously for liberty. “Long Jack’’ jumped into the heavy skiff after making the ends of the sein fast to the stern and started to pull to the shore. As he did so the male gar freed itself, and at- tempted to upset the boat. Jack fell out within range of the gar’s tail and was directly knocked ten feet into deeper water. His back was nearly broken from the blow and the unconscious man sank like a chunk of iron. Miller left his net, and swam out to where he had seen his partner disappear. He went under the water, and by pure luck managed to grab Jack, who was atill uncon- ecious an." swim with him to the shore. * Miller at first thought his companion dead, and his idea was to go for assistance. But Long Jac« took a deep breath, indicating life, and Miller left him to come to all alone. Iie then started for the bundle of tangled rope, which the net had by this time be- come, and securing. it to the skiff he pulled ashore. There were other fishermen near by and they went to Miller’s assistance. The net was unrolled, and there on the sand lay the female gar, 7 feet and 11 inches lon from the end of her comb-like tall to the enc of the two wicked white teeth which stuck out from her mouth, Mrs, Gar was arignty exhausted from her struggle, but decidedly still in the ring. One of the fishermen stuck a two-inch board in her mouth and she bit it off like a man with false teeth would tackle a pie crust. An axe was the next weapon brought forth, and it took thr e full-arm blows over Mrs. Gars back before she lay quiet and be- haved herself. Attention was next paid to Long Jack. Jie was more dead than alive when his friends went to him. He could hardly stand the pain in hés back was 80 great, and his lungs were still fuH of water. He was sent to his home, while (MiNer and two of the fishermen arranged to tow the captive gar to St. Louis. Then it was that Miller discovered he was hurt. He was struck by the gar as she was rolled up in the seine and her tail had Daught him square on the right thigh. Any One who saw the monster after she was brought to the French Market will under- stand how her thick scales and the iron wicker work of her tail could raise the ekin from Miller's leg. The fisherman blea freely and the pain was most acute. The raw place on his leg is at least as big as an ordinary dinner plate. Miller refused to leave his captive and towed her, with the aid of two companions, to St. Louls. A wagon transported the fish from the landing to the store of J. W. Pet- ers & Co., near the market. Mr. Peters had her sent to the market house. where éhe lived until a few moments before noon. The oy fish attracted hundreds of peo- le as she lay panting on the bricks under hot sun. The flesh of the gar, which ts the next hing to an ailigator, accordin to Mr. etera, is not marketable. He will have the ig fish frozen and given to his friend, L. . Cutlery of Springfield, Mo., who will take it home as a curiosity. The lowest rate and the begt service via B. & O. 8. W.

The Great Western Printing Company, Sil Market street, filed an assignment at 1 o’clook Friday afternoon to Carl L. Kretsch- mer for the benefit of creditors.

The ‘company has a gress deal of business on hand, one of the biggest contracts be. c ng the printing for the Ringling Bros.’ cir. us. Fatiure to make collections is said to be the cause of their temporary embarras- Ment. Some months ago F. L.

Archbishop Kain Will Perform the Ceremony at the Convent of St. De Chantal. Monday morning in the chapel of the Con- vent of St. De Chantal, Washington avenue, near Sarah street, Mrs. L. D. Parrish, her sister, Miss Sallie Cooper, and her three daughters will be received into the Catholic Church. The ceremony of baptism will be per- formed by Archbishop Kain. Rev. Fr. Sullivan, 8. J., Rev. J. J. Harty of St. Leo’s Church, Rev. J. J McGlynn of St. Rose of Lima's Church and a number of prominent clergymen will be present in the sanctuary and participate in the mass of thanksgiving that will follow the ceremony. Mrs. Parrish’s conversion is the direct re- sult of her children’s influence. She sent her three daughters, Misses Willie, Loulse and Isabel, aged respectively 16, 14 and 10, to the St. De Chantal Academy. They have attended the school from the kindergarten class up to the higher grades. Mrs. Parrish was attracted by the love her children manifested for the nuns and the gentle influence the black-robed women had over them. She heard so much of them from her little ones that she cultivated their friend- ship and learned the secret of their perfect ilves. She began to investigate their religion and soon found herself an ardent believer in the Catholic faith. Miss Cooper went through the same spir- {tual experience, while the children, al- ready familiar with Catholic forms, were only too anxious to follow their mother’s example. Conversions to the Catholic religion are numerous in St. Louis, but this is the first instance on record of almost an entire family embracifig the faith at the same time. Mrs. Parrish is the wife of Mr. ‘“‘Dinks” Parrish, the well known haberdasher. He does not profess any religion, but be- lieves everybody has a right to their own views on the subject, and has made no ob- jection to his family’s change of faith. INHUMANITY AT THE WORK-HOUSE. WOMAN IN A DUNGEON FOUR DAYS FOR BREAKING A RULE. BREAD AND WATER AND NO BED. Grand-Jury Reports a Revolting State of Affairs Existing at Nic Karr’s Institution. The Grand-jury visited the Work-house and Female Hospital Thursday. The fol- lowing scathing report of the city Iinstitu- tion presided over by Nic C. Karr, and the deplorable condition of the Female Hospital was made: St. Louts, June 25, 1897. To the Hon. Judge Zachritz: We, the members of the grand jury de- sire to make partial report on the visit to the Work-house on yesterday. We found a woman of more than or- dinary intelligence (for such a place) in solitary confinement in a cell without light, ventilation, a chair to sit on, or bed to lle on. No convenience for the calls of nature, except a bucket, which is emptied once a day. Nothing but a rough board floor to sit or lie on. She had been confined there since last Monday morning for an infraction of the rules and as been fed only on bread and water. Such confinement un- der such circumsiances during such weather as we have been experiencing is, in my opinion, inhuman, unjusti- fied and uncalled for. Similar conditions were found in an adjoining dungeon, occupied by @ man with shackles on, except that he had been there only one day. We also wish to make partial report on one visit to the Female Hospital, where we found immediate need of screens for the windows and doors. Sick patients who are unable io Mft their hands to their faces are greatly an- noyed by files crawling on their faces, in their noses, eyes and ears, and pos- sibly carrying diseases from one patient to another.

An Executor’s Sale of Shoe Stock. The bid of # cents on the dollar by C. E. Hilts Shoe Co. was accepted by the ex- ecutors of the late Anton Buergier, the wel!- known shoe merchant of 4265 North Twen- tieth street. There was quite a lot of anx- lety among shoe men to get thie etock, as Buergler had the reputation of handling only the best, and the stock was thoroughly up to date in every detal!. The Hilts com- pany therefore is much elated over their efforts of getti the stock, as it will give them another chance of giving their large host of patrons an opportunity of getting fine shoes for less than one-halt prices. Un- doubtedly they will make announcement of this in the near future. ' money to his has been robbed and murdered in this city. | Friday—St. Louis Yost-Bispatth—June 25, 1897. KLEIN ENJOINS THE CITY OFFICIALS. THE WITTENBERG LAW TEMPO- RARILY SUSPENDED. SOLOMON BOEHM OBJECTS. He and Leverett Bell Will Show the Court the Ordinance Is Unconstitutional. Solomon Boehm filed a suit in the Circuit Court Friday morning against The City of St. Louis, Henry Ziegenhein, Isaac H. Stur- geon, Charles Scudder and Abram 8. Mil- ner. Mr. Boehm says he sues on his own behalf and that of every other taxpayer in the city of St. Louis. Mr. Boehm declares he has for many years been a taxpayer in this city. Then he sets out the official positions of the various defendants, and says that ordinance 19007, lately passed by the Municipal Assembly, will go into effect July 29, 1897. This is the Uthoff-Wittenberg bill, and is reproduced in full in the pleadings. This ordinance, he says, is in conflict with the City Charter and is null and void. The petition then says: “That notwithstanding the invalidity of the ordinance the plaintiff is informed and believes it to be a fact that the defendants intend to put it into execution on and af- ter June 29, 1897, and that the execution of the ordinance will cause the expenditure of large sums of public. moneys, amounting to $100,000 or more per annum.” The ordinance is in conflict with the charter, the petition says, because under sec. 18, art. 3, it is provided that no Dill except a general appropriation bill shall contain more than one subject. Under sec, 42, art. 4, it is provided the Assembly shall provide by ordinance for the appointment of employes by mem- bers of the Board of Public Improvements. Section 3% Article 4 makes the Street Com- missioner responsible for all action of em- loyes in his department and the ordinance ake the appointive power from him, leav- ing him the responsibility. t is in confilct with Section 9 Article 4 of the Charter which provides that all ap- olntments of the Mayor must be confirmed y_a majority of members of the Council. Finally, the petition says, the ordinance is illegal because it fails to repeal previous ordinances in conflict with it. The plaintiff asks for an injunction to re- strain the enforcement of the ordinance. Judge Klein, to whom the sult was as- signed, granted a amperaty order until June 30, at 10 a. m., when the defendants are cited to show cause why they should not be permanently restrained from putting the law into appara tion. Leverett Bell, attorney for Boehm, said it was the intention of Mr. Boehm and his friends to fight the suit until they succeeded in knocking the measure out completely. When the suit was mentioned to Street Commissioner Milner he said: “I don’t know a thing about that. I have just this minute heard it. I care nothing about it. It is of no concern to me.” Delegate Wittenberg, the alleged father of the bill, was caught in a corridor of the Cit Hall. “It won’t do ’em any good,’’ he said, “to go to law about it. The administration will fight the injunction, and the City Coun- sellor will fight. So will the Comptroller and the House of Delegates and the Council and all the rest. The people will fight it and I will fight it. It won’t stand an show. Street Commissioner Milner is behind that application, but it won’t do him any good. We will beat it.” Mayor Ziegenhein had just knocked off work for three hours to go out and feed himself and could not be found. Sol Boehm is now one of the district su- erintendents. His job is to be given to ohnay Owens, who rooted for the Uthoff and ttenberg bills. FATHER BANK IS HERE. Head of the Alexian Brothers’ Order on an Inspection Tour. These are days of moment to the Alexian brothers in the comfortable hospital down on South Broadway, for Father Querinas Bank is in St. Louls. Father Bank is at the head of the entire order, and he has come all the way from Aix La Chapelle, in Prussia, to inspect the possessions of the Alexian province in America. The tour of inspection is made but once every four years. This one is the third visit to America made by Father Bank since he became the director-general of the order. He arrived in New York City a week ago. and since he has been in this country he has inspected the houses of the brothers in Elizabeth, N. J., and Chicago.

The St. Louis province, he says, he finds in excellent condition, noting great ragress since he was here four years a5°.- The order here is considering the advisabil- itv of enlarging the insane department. Plans have already been drawn up and are awaiting Father Bank’s approval before work is begun. The director-general says his order will robably erect a hospital in Buffalo, N. Y. 7. this {Is done there will then be five Alex- ian hospitals in the United States—one in Elizabeth, one in Chicago, one in St. Louis, one in Oshkosh, Wis., and the new one in Buffalo. Father Bank will remain in this country until September, spending the time in visits to the four hospitals. LOST THREE HORSES. Part of Daniel S. Hennessy’s Stable Taken by Creditors.

John White watched Jack Newman post $100 on Elsie D. to win the first race at the Fair Grounds Thursday. Newman got pool ticket 666. White invested $2 on the same horse. He received pool ticket 669. It was easy work for him to alter the ticket to 666 and to raise the amount from §2 to $10, When the race was run Elsie D. was an @asy winner. White was the first man at the bookmaker's stand to cash his check. Charles H. Zachariah, the cashier, knew that Newman was the holder of ticket 666 for $100, and he suspected White was trying to swindle him. A policeman was called and White was arrested. The evidence was laid before Col. Johnson, who understands rac- ing lore fairly well, and he promptly issued a warrant for attempting to obtain money under false pretenses.

Beneath a mass of falling stone, earth and rocks three men were crushed almost to death Friday morning. They were laborers excavating for a city sewer on Euclid avenue, between Fountain and Maple avenues, and were ordered into the caving ditch, twenty feet deep, by 4 foreman who, though told of the danger, said: ‘“‘Hurry on and get down: there.” A minute later the men were buried be- neath tons of debris. The men were smployed by Anderson Bros., contractors, and were constructing a ofty main in the Page avenue district. The eewer runs along the alley between Foun- tain and Maple avenues, and the major rtion of the excavating is done with a arge steam dredge. The excavation is ® feet deep, and men with shovels are con- stantly in the ditch to assist te hu machine in ite work and to wall up the ditch to prevent a cave-in.

The free text book question is too im- portant to be decided by the School Board without a public hearing and discussion. It ig a matter that vitally interests a large number of parents and children, and indirectly all citizens are interested: in ft, because if children are kept away from school through their parents being unable to provide them with books ex- cept through an investigation as to their means and an open confession of poverty, such children will grow up in ignorance and become a menace to the community. Pinching economy in regard to school books will defeat itself. It will be apt to add to the expenses of the city later on, by increasing the ignorant and crim- inal class, whose restraint {& oné of the heaviest items of expenditure in the city’s budget. Spending money judiciously for echool books is not extravagance; it is the best economy. It is less of an evil that 10 per cent or more of the pupils able to provide themselves with books should take advantage of free books, than that pupils who are unable to buy school books be debarred from getting an education, | If the Book Trust {s opposed to the free text book system, the School Board can rest assured that there is a good reason for it. The Trust will not sell as many books under this system, because the free books are used by more than one pupil, They go the rounds. If the free “system is abolished or made so difficult to take advantage of that parents and pupils will shun it, the Trust knows that every pupil will have to be provided with @ new and separate set of books. The public have a right to discuss and pass upon this question. It should not be settled by Star Chamber methods. A et ae MORE HAWAIIAN BUNKO. A new feature in the Hawaiian game of bunko Is the exploitation of the Jap- anese note of protest against annexation. The Committee on Foreign Relations, we are told, Is so impressed with the gravity of the issue raised by ‘the note that it is compelled to observe the utmost secrecy concerning it, Then, by an amusing con- tradiction of itself, the committee is made to say that the Japanese note is more of an ultimatum than a protest: that it is filled with dire intimations of war, and that it would result tn serious Gomplications if made public at this time. What the committee hopes is that it has aroused the public mind by such an out- giving to a point where the publication of the Japanese note will be looked for- ward to as justifying an outburst of jingo “patriotism.’”’ Now nothing is more certain, in our opinion, than that the note, if published, would be found to be concil- latory in tone, setting out in diplomatic phrase the Japanese objection to the treaty and asking that Japan's treaty rights be considered before final action is taken. To assume anything else would be to assume Japanese ignorance of the most common conventionalities, The Hawaiian bunko men are trying to fire the American heart. They are seeking to rouse the jingoes, always ready to foam at foreigners. They are lying, selfishly and maliciously lying, to accom- plish their own ends, The jJingoes should insist on seeing the mote. If it is really a deflance, then let the eagle scream. But don't be bunkoed again, KEEPING MONEY AT EOME., The Manufacturers’ Association of Bt. Louls calls upon our people to patronize home manufactures, This would no doubt have a good effect upon jocal tn. dustries, It would set many factories running on full time, and go far towards siving employment to the thousands of men out of work In the city and State. But it must not be forgotten that con- Sumers cannot be expected to go against their own interests in an attempt to sup- port what are called home industries. Bt. Louls manufacturers should strive at all times to make their products as good es, if not superior to, those of other local- ities, If this were done there would be no complaint of consumers preferring foreign-made goods, And the manufacturers must not forget also that in this matter of going outside , sumption they have been as great of- fenders as anyone in the community, Instead of patronizing each other's prod- ucts, they accept bids on Jabor and con- signments,of goods from “foreign” con- tractors and merchants, if such bids or consignments are offered at. a few cents below what home contractors and home manufacturers offer, And this, too, with- out regard to the qualty of the work or goods offered. The manufacturers should set their own house in order tn this re- spect, It would be well also for the Manu- facturers’ Association to bring its influ- ence to bear on the street car companies, telegraph and telephone companies, and the city government, to patronize home industries, In these, directions millions could be saved each year to St. Louls. i ll A STIRRING SPEECE. The Post-Dispatch was the only St. Louis newspaper that printed a good re- port of the spéech of ex-Congressman Fred E. White, temporary chairman of the Iowa Democratic State Convention, at its meeting at Des Moines on Wednes- day. The speech was a notable one, and contained some striking statements that Democrats and thoughtful men of every political creed would do well to ponder. After pointing to the dangerous eco- nomic conditions of the country which all unprejudiced.-persons know to exist, Mr. White uttered what ought to be a trumpet call against the prevaitling ap- athy as to those conditions, Among other things he said: The vexatious part.of the problem is that the multitude, who are the victims, are afflicted with an inexplicable indifference, the most remarkable part of their conduct being their traditional immobility, The cause of true reform suffers immensely be- cause a great many people rest secure In the belief that their freedom remains un- impaired so long as they are not actually sold upon the block. But the most striking and timely feat- ure of Mr. White’s speech was the em- phasis he- laid upon the fact that the problem now before ‘the nation is an economic one. The day of political ab- stractions is past, and the time has come for the people to demand equitable eco- nomic conditions, and to understand that they who control a country's wealth con- trol the country. Mr. White sald: comprehend that the power to fix wages and determine prices is the omnipotent power in this material world * * * and the carnival of the thieving and gambling fraternity would abruptly come to an in- glorious end. The power to fix wages and determine prices—that is what the Trusts and inter- national gold syndicate are striving for, and if they can obtain it over the whole people our republican forms of govern- ment will have ceased to be anything but empty forms, As Mr. White truly said, the result of the acquisition of such a power by one class over an entire people would be that “an imperialism of wealth will rule this country such as this world never saw—an imperialism without con- science, destitute of mercy, rioting in the very debasement of the common people, reviving the damnable doctrine of des- potism, enforcing the cruelties of the an- tient Pharaoh in compelling the people to make bricks without straw.” i -o — EXPERT EVIDENCE ON “STINKS.” One of ‘the unsettled problems of munic- ipal life in St. Louis Is as to whether or not any “stink’’ comes from Col. Ed But- ler’s stink factory. Col. Butler himself is said to prefer the odors of his stink factory to attar of roses. In fact, he does not hesitate to say so. But the resi- dents in the vicinity of the stink factory declare that the “stink” has lowered the value of their property and made their lives unendurable, espeqlally during the hot weather when ts ae and doors must be left open, For the purpose of determining wheth- er Col. Butler wag right, or the people of the neighborhood,’ an appeal was made to the Board of Health, and In company with a number of other citizens whose smelling powers were supposed to be un- impaired, these gentlemen on June ll made what was supposed to be an “ex- pert” examination, They began their “stink” investigation by going in car- riages to the Cherokee Garden and forti- fying themselves against the “stink” by consuming an indefinite number of bot- tles of lager, dishes of lamb chops, plat- ters of swartzbrod, ice cream and cham- pagne, cigars, old rye whisky, etc., etc. Having thus rendered themselves incapa- ble of smelling a sulphur refinery, the party proceeded to the works and promptly reported “no stink.” In this complication the Post-Dispatch suggests that advantage be taken of one of the arrangements entered into by the citizens of the neighborhood,. There seems to have been an agreement among them that when the Butler factory's stink was visible or smellable somebody should fire a gun as a warning to the others, Let acientifiCc invention be brought to bear upon the problem. Some de- vice should be contrived which would work automatically. When the stink reaches a certain degree of inten- sity, it should fire a number of guns automatically. Then the Board of Health could hurry out to the factory and emell the “stink” while it was at its ripest. The value of this suggestion is that there could be no doubt whatever of the existence of a stink that had become strong enough to fire a gun. It could no longer be denied even by Col, Ed Jiutler himself. The black flags displayed in Ireland on jubilee day: were supplemented by the Brahman leaflets in India, denouncing a hundred years of English tyranny and declaring that only demons would cele- brate their conquests in a time of fam- ine, plague and earthquake, The assas- sination of a number of British officers has added bloodshed to denunciation. The British Empire is not the happy realm it is sometimes pictured. — oo Oo | Mr, Elkins’ proposed addition of 10 per cent duty on all imports carried by for- eign veasels is consistent with the Mc. Kinley theory. Every additional tax that will help to prohibit importation is proper if the McKinley idea is the true one. All this sort of legislation leads up to the ancient Chinese policy. There is nothing in it that is new. ———————— Addicks’ gas company has passed into the maw of the Standard Ol] monopoly. the city and State for/articles of con- | Let the work'ng classes once thoroughly |. mend his political fortunes.

Rob- bing 25,000 Japanese of their Hawalian citizenship would be as bad as the rob- bery that has brought about the annex- ation movement. The grand union of the patriotic ele- ments in Iowa is highly encouraging to the cause of financial reform. If the hest elements in all the States were to unite we would soon be free from the domina- tion of Great Britain and the unscrupu- lous rule of Wall street. —_- OO ir Postmaster Skinner's bluff of a libel suit was rather short-lived.

Willie K.’s Coachmam From the New York Press. It is regarded as absolutely essential that a coachman be a man of style. A fine looker is worth $3,000 a year more than a seedling, even though the latter be the more skillful driver. The man who left the barber’s chair before me was Willie K. Vanderbilt’s former coachman. His father was coachman to the Emperor Napoleon IlJ., consequently a great man in France. He left a fortune to this son, who, how- ever, liked the coaching business and re- ceived $10,000 a year from Willie K. before the divorce. He can make a $200 carriage look like a $10,000 palaee barouche by merely sitting on the box, and was never known to turn his head more than 22 degrees to left or right when driving. Reflections of a Bachelor. From the New York Press. No girl can be as innocent as some girls try to look and live. The harder a woman loves her husband the more she pleases the Lord. Some women seem to think virtue won't keep unless it's put in cold storage. A woman always. pats a strange baby about the same as she pats her own dog. Some folks think they always ought to be so cheerful that they make you melancholy. When Gabriel blows his trumpet on Judg- ment Day half of the women will be mad because they were just having such a beau- tiful dream. A Paying Investment. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Old man, there is money in buying your wife a wheel,’ said the man whose face showed some traces of sordid greed. “Oh, there is?’ asked the man of no par- ticular character. “You bet there is. She may eat a little more, but she doesn’t have time to stop and look at the window bargains.” THE GRAVE AND THE ROSE. The Grave said to the Rose, “What of the dews of dawn, Love's flower, what end is theirs?” “And what of apirits flown, The souls whereon doth close The tomb’s mouth unawares?” The Rose said to the Grave. The Rose said, “In the shade From the dawn’'s tears ts made A perfume faint and strange, Amber and honey sweet.” “And all the spirits fleet Do suffer a sky-change, More strangely than the dew, To God's own angels new.” VICTOR HUGO, This ougm to give Mr. Addicks time to! j The Grave said to the Rose. ‘cattle bear this brand: MRS.

The ening Post vine rae were ing Post: A group of five counties In the eastern pees latter ansas) had in ] an aggregate mortgage indebtedness of $12,040,561. The corresponding total is now only $5,457,635. In other words, over half of the mortgage indebtedness has been paid off during a period of only seven years, more than half of which has been also a period of “hard times.”’ We have not at hand the figures from which the Evening Post draws its data, ani, as the names of the counties are not given, have no way of pursuing the subfect further than the Post has seemingly been willing to go. But our contemporary, hav- ing the statistics at hand, will doubtless Be willing to tnform its readers how much of the reduction in mortgages reported was due to payment and how much to fore- closures. The years since 1899 have not been years of plenty even for the fertile counties of Eastern Kansas, and those familiar with the State will question the evidences of prosperity which our neighbor has furnished. For the purposes of the oj timistic statisticlan, a mortgage which has been cancelled by foreclosure and the trans- fer of the mortgaged farm to the monev lender is just as good as one which the farmer has paid off, keepin his land. But there’s a heap of difference between the two to the farmer. Gov. Stephens’ Letter. From the Joplin Globe. Gov. Stephens’ letter to the St. Louis Democracy has the ring of true Democracy all through it. His quotations from Jef- ferson, Jackson and other fathers of De- mocracy show that the party, when they adopted the Chicago platform and nomi- nated Bryan, was brought back to the true faith. His advice to shun a “Cleveland Democrat” just as much as a “Hanna Re- publican” is sound doctrine and must be followed strictly if the fommon people are to be relieved from the yoke of trust gOvV- ernment in 1900. The Governor is confident that the people will win in the next battle between the people and the trusts. Island Annexation. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. It is very commonly urged that to annex distant islands of the sea involves no de- parture from the traditional annexation policy of the United States, Yet Jefferson, who bought Loulslana for $15,000,000, the first great annexation of territory in our history, wrote to Madison in 189 that “nothing should ever be accepted which would require a navy to defend it.”” Thomas Jefferson was the American spirit of his time incarnate, and he wag frankly in favor of sufficient elbow room for the trial of the great American experiment of republican institutions, but, like Gouverneur Morris, he never contemplated the extension of our sovereignty to points thousands of miles distant from the American mainland.

Daisy: Why didn’t you have him arrested for using threatening language? Col, Dick Must Be Born Again. From the Kennett (Mo.) Democrat. Col. Richard Dalton, ex-Surveyor of Cus- toms, has shaken the dust of St. Louls from his feet and returned to his Rall County farm. The friends of Col. Dalto assert that he will not retire from Missou politics by any means and that after a season of communion with the famous agri- cultural products of Ralls County, he will assume his old position of prominence tn a netional politics.—St. Louis Re- It is the opinion of most Missouri Demo- crats who were active in the campaign last year for the regular Democratic plat- form and the regular Democratio nominees that Col. Dick's “communion with the famous agricultural products of Ralls County” must extend beyond the campaign of 1900 before he assumes any position of prominence in State politics. When his voice and counsel) was so much needed by the friends who had stood by bim for years and who gave him all the prominence he attained, he was shut up in his office ‘in the Federal Building at St. Louts and had not a word to say for his old party or the Principles that he had advocated from a thousand stumps.

SUSPICIOUS OF THE TRUST. Review of the Legislation by Which the Governor Was Robbed of Appointing Power. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., June 2.-—Pa- 'trons of the public schools and the people of Missourt! in general await with much in- | terest the action of the State School Book Commission, which is now in session here. | Meetings of the commission will be held 'daily until July 12 That date has been /agreed upon as the tme for opening bids. | As soon thereafter as an agreement can be | reached, the contracts will be awarded, The | commission consists of five members, name- ly: Prof. John R. Kirk, State Superintend- ' dent of Public Instruction; J. H. Seibert, | State Auditor; Ed C, Crow, Attorney Gen- | eral; Prof. W. D. Dobson, President of the State Normal School at Kirksville, and Prof. T. E. Spencer of Marshall. All meetings of the commission are secret. They are held in the Senate chamber and visitors are not allowed. Representatives of book publishers are admitted one at & time. “Why are the meetings of the commis- sion secret?’ the Post-Dispatch correspond- ent asked Prof. John R. Kirk, State Super- intendent of public schools, who is president of the commission. “In order that we may have better oppor- tunity to freely discuss the relative merits of the samples of text books that are of- fered,” was the reply. “Since the duties to be performed He the commission are of interest to the pub ig it seems that the people should have full nnowledge of the proceedings,” the corre- spondent suggested. “Yes, sir, that is a fact,” said Prof. Kirk, “and we have arranged so that the pubilo may be informed. Our Secretary, Prof. Spencer, appointed by the Governor 4s & member of the commiasion, is instructed by a resolution adopted by the board to give out information concerning the proceed and he will cheerfully do so.” Secretary Spencer. stated to a Post-Dis- patch correspondent that there was no dis- osition on the part of the commission to eep its action secret from the_ general public. He had instructions, he said, to give out full information of the proceedings. The School Book Commission was created by act of the last General Assembly. Con- trary to precedent, the personnel of the com- mission was fixed by the bill, with the ex- ception of one member, whose appointment was left to the Governor. That member fs Prof. Spencer. According to custom, the entire board should have been appointed by the chief executive. The bill creating this commission was enacted after a tedfous and somewhat bitter contest. Conference com- mittees were poy during — closin days of the legislative session, and the bi was finally passed by the House, only a few minutes before the gavel fell for final ad- journment. The scene attending the enact- ment of the bill was exciting. There was orrone opposition, and this was an incen- tive for determined action on the part of the advocates of the measure. he bill originated in the Senate. There it was championed by Senator John Morton of Ray County. He secured its passage in the Sen- ate, and his influence doubtless had some- thing to do with winning the eleventh hour victory in the House. House bills similar in general purport were introduced during the session, but were defeated by the Senate bill. The chief argument set forth by those who opposes the Senate bill was that it removed the appointive power from the Governor. This fact was mentioned to Gov. Stephens, but he declined to take part in the con- test. Some of the best men in the Legislature boldly objected to the bill on the theo that it might be a echeme of the Schoo Board Trust. Strong speeches were made on either side of the question. Efforts were made to amend the bill so that the Gover- nor would appoint three of the five com- missioners, his overture was rejected Then it was proposed that the Governor be allowed to appoint two members. This, too, was objectionable, Rather than leave that much appointive power to the Gov- ernor, some of the advocates of the bill declared they preferred that no law at all be enacted. This declaration only intensi- fied the woe that the bill was jooked upon with favor by the book trust. But it passed, and the Governor signed it. Four of the five members of the com- mission are mocrats, Prof, k being the only Republican. Thus, the Democratic party is responeible to the people of Mis- sourl for the action of the commission. Upon this commission rests &@ grave re- sponsibility. It hae the power to fix just rices for echool books—likewise it has he power to aid the trust at the ex se of the public. Thousands of peo in are anxiously watching for re- sults. It makes no difference to the com- mission what part, if any, the book trust had in securing the e of the bill. The trust cannot compel the commission to thrust ite books upon the people at un- just prices. It was te may reported during the leg- islative session that the bill which is now a law had its origin with the book trust, 'and that the trust’ feared to have Gov. | Stephens name the commission. It is a | matter of small moment to the people who | buy school books whether thie charge ts ‘true or untrue. School booke are wanted at reasonable prices, and the commission is expected to render thig aible. It is from the commission that the public ex- poets juetice. oe in the way of pub- ic benefit is expected from the trust. The School Book Trust has proven to be lone of the most grinding monopolies with | which the common people have had to deal here are scores of echool book ptr | houses [n the United States, an — o them are in league bo Som ag up. Just which ones are members of the combination is a difficult question to determine. Many of the publishers boldiy proclaim that they are not members of any combination. This, however, does not tn all japtasoge satisfy the public mind. The school book RAistory of this country ‘s fraught with interest. Biiter wars have raged at times and various deals have been made. In the early "Ss arelentiess war was incited between several different publishing houses. Most prominent tn this war were Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co, of Cin- cinnatt, Ivison. Blakeman, Taylor & Co, of | New York, A. 8. Barnes & Co. of New York 'and D. Appleton & Co. of New York, with | mumerous other concerns of less importance.

‘nat wn ey Da fe ee Seem Foes res —— 5 TYPHOON I. WILL BE THR FAVORITE. WORK-OUT RACE SHOWED HE LIKES THE MUD. ORNAMENT HAS _ ARRIVED. Is in Prime Condition and Will Make a Grand Race for the $12,- 000 Derby Prize. Typhoon II. or Ornament? Everybody in St. Louis is asking or be- ing asked this question, for everybody, from the regulars, who are there every day, to the Derby day folk, who go to the track only once a year, is interested in the great battle between the two. kings of the turf in the St. Louls Derby for a $12,000 stake at the Fair Grounds Saturday afternoon. That the race will resuft in one of the sengational contests of the year no ane doubts. Typhoon II. and Ornament, under ‘ordinary conditions, clearly outclass all the other 3-year-olds of the year. Eastern peo- ple—and there is no Httle feeling between the East and the West—admit that there is only one horse in the East, The Friar, that would stand any sort of a chance of even splitting Ornament and Typhoon in a race, and the eyes of all the turf world will be on St. Louis Saturday. The money, $12,000, is‘an outside consider- ation to all save the owners of the horses. The peeple are interested in seeing settled the question of superiority. There are other horses in the race, but to the knowing ones they stand only an out- side show in case of some sort of fluke that would work against both Ornament and Ty- phoon. It is unfortunate that there will not be a good track. After the heavy rains three or four days of sunshine would have put the track in splendid condition, and, with dust fiying all records would have been jeopard- ized by Ornament and Typhoon in their race for fame and fortune. riday the track is a@ sea of mud from the heavy rains of Thurs- day night. Saturday afternoon, even with eight hours of hot sunshine, the course would only be in the first stages of dry- ing out. The mud will be fetlock deep for the horses, and there will be considerable jock- eyship during the long mile and a half FON ney of the race. Some of the route will be a little better than the mud holes, and the tmartest jockey will get his horse where there is the best running. Dr. Frankenfield, who is in charge of the local weather bureau, says that the weather Saturday will be cool and pleasant for the thousands of people who ugually crowd and — the grand stand, pack the stretch in ront and fight and struggle under the bet- The weather ob- ting shed on Derby wy S Leth ag « . e clouds, but there server says there ma will probably be no rain. The race has aroused a great deal of interest and enthusiasm everywhere, anda the attendance of people will be tremen- dous. So great is the interest shown In the outcome of the race that last year's great crowd may be expected, Society always goes to the derby and society will be out in force. All the veran- das and the covered walk of the club- house will be occupied, and, as usual, there will be seen many smart gowns and frocks worn '\by beautiful women and pretty giris. The sheds south of the grand stand will De filled with smart traps and vehicles of every description, and ‘there will be a num- ber of coaches driving out with their toot- ing horns and merry loads of brightly clad young peorre, Those young people will not particularly care which horse wins the derby. The day is Derby Day, and they wih sea and be seen. As to-the race, It now looks as hough there would be eight starters, with the weights they will have ‘to pack througn the mud as follows: Ornament, 127 pounds, Typhoon II., 125; Buckvidere, 122; Dare I1., 117; ing 8 Counsel, 117; Algol, 117; Boan. erges, 117, and Dr. Shepard, 117. Lonny Clayton, one of the best jockeys who ever sat the pigskin, will ride Ornament, ana Garner, undoubtedly a crack rider, ana the ido) of ail the people at the St. Louls trgok. will have the mount on tf goes Oo the smart ones the chances of Buckvi- dere gee Dare II., King’s Counsel and Dr, Shepard are scarce worth consider- ing, and they wonder that the owners of one oP two of them are willing to pay $100 required as the starting fee. Buckvidere won the Tennessee Derby on what is generally regarded as a fluke, and his.chance is gen- erally considered only as an outside one. Algol hag not started since his Memphis race. He ts said to have a game leg and may not face the atarter, Dare II., notwith- standing he made a newe'track record here with a rg tl for a mile and a six- teenth, is scarcely a stake horse. His race Thursday showed that he doegn’t like the muda little bit. King’s Counsel'ls outclassed by at least four starters in the field. Dr. Shepard is thought by some of his Chica- go followers to have a chance of finishing second in the event of a heart-breaking con- ‘test between Ornament and Typhoon. The Doctor was brought over from Chicago and stabled at the Fair Grounds Friday morn- ing. Roanerges outclasses everything save Ty- phon and Ornament, and many think he will run second. Not a few will back him to win, and the stands about the best show if the great race and $12,000 purse is to go to an outsider, There will be a nasty, sloppy track, and poenerate in the mud is an unknown quan. ty. Between Typhoon and Ornament hoon looks best under the conditions, and those who saw him romp In the mud in his prepar- ation race Thursday can’t figure it out how Ornament is to finish in front of him. The track will be as bad as was the track Thurs- day when Typhoon took to the mud and Beemed to by: in it as if enjoying the novelty of the t ing. all the while etriking a clip that rapidly left the ground behind him. He made the first quarter in :2%, the half in :62, three-quarters in 1:18%; mile in 1:47; and the mile and a half in 2:154%. Garner did not pull up, but let Typhoon run for another four furlongs, and when the colt was brought back.to the judge's stand he seemed none the worse for wear. In view of that performance the Typhoon people cannot see how he can fail to win. Ornament’s races have shown him to be @ great horse. He was beaten by Typhoon in the Kentucky Derby, but it was said Ornament was not on edge that day. Px- cept in that race there is no line Soe the ag Sete — of — horses.

MORE -PROSECUTIONS FOR WIFE ABANDONMENT. MURPHY WILL NOT CONVICT. Prosecuting Attorney Mulvihill An- nounces That He Is Tired of Work- ing Without Results. — So far as St. Louls is concerned the law prohibiting wife abandonment is a dead let- ter, Prosecuting Attorney Thomas Mulvi- hill has notified Assistant Prosecuting At- torney Johnson not to issue any warrants in such cages, Mr. Mulvihill was sore when he called on hig assistant Thursday afternoon. He had just tried one wife abandonment case in the QGourt of Criminal Correction before Judge Murphy. He failed to get a conviction and he nolle prossed another case of the same nature, “I see you are still issuing wife-abandon- ment warrants,” he gaid to Col. Johnson. “Now there is no use in doing this. In the future I will nolle pros them as fast as they come to court. It is absolutely im- possible to get a conviction, and I am tired of pushing such cases.” “But the law says a man ehal] not aban- don his wife and children,”’ replied Col. Johnson. ‘I would feel that I had not done my duty were I to refuse to issue a war- rant after I had investigated and found that there had been a violation. I am careful and never issue such a warrant unless I am satisfied an offense has been committed.”’ “I don’t care anything about that. I don’t want you to issue any more warrants on that charge, and will nolle pros them as fast as they come down.” “But, Mr. Mulvihill, the eyes of the public are on you the same as they are on me, and if the law is ignored we are likely to be severly criticised, and not without rea- son NO “Well, if the people have been watching me on this point they have certainly very little room for satisfaction, I have tried many cases in the last seven months and have used every means pecs to pro- cure a conviction, but Judge Murphy has discharged every defendant. I think it im- — to make a case that will stick, and am not — to keep running the costs up on the State. I am weary of well doing when there is nothing to show for it save a big outlay of the State’s money.” Col, Johnson did not explain why he is s0 jealous of his reputation in wife aban- donment cases, and so complaisant when the pool rooms are implicated. QUAY AND M’KINLEY. Contest for an Office That May Settle Future Relations. PHILADELPHIA, June 25.—Within the next two weeks President McKinley is ex- pected to appoint a Collector of the Port of Philadelphia, and there is red-hot interest in the personnel of the successful nominee from the fact that the appointment will probably determine the future attitude of Senator Quay toward the Administration, There are but two candidates—State Senator Wesley Thomas of this city, whose interests have been made a personal matter by Sen- ator Quay, and Judge Thomas J. Clayton of Chester County, who was one of the five McKinley delegates from Pennsylvania to St. Louis, and is the distinct candidate of the McKinleyitea. From a personal standpoint the contest is of national interest from the fact that Judge Clayton is a brother of ex- Senator Powell Clayton of Arkansas, Presi- dent McKinley’s Senge as Minister to Mexico, and of William Henry Harrison Clayton, appointed by President McKinley as United States Attorney for the Southern District of Arkansas. There were originally four brothers, one of them having been killed in Arkansas as the outcome of a po- litical feud, and with two of the survivors already provided for, the Quayites are sar- castically asking whether it is really neces- sary for the President to do anything more for the Clayton family. Senator Quay has made a characteristic fight for his friend. and if the plum should fall to the third of the Clayton brothers, it is predicted that Hy he a be heard from in his usual yigorous ashion. HER HUSBAND SNORES. Mrs. Mary Johns Tells Her Troubles at. the Dispensary. Mrs. Mary Johns, who lives at the Columbia Hotel, is afflicted with a husband who snores.He !s no ordinary snorer. He is an artist in his line. When he sleeps his wife and everybody else within a radius of 100 feet remain awake. At 3 o’clock Friday morning, Mrs, Johns, after trying in vain to sleep, went up to the City Dispensary and asked Dr. Edgar Thompson to prescribe sornething for her old man, “T can’t stand it any longer,” she said, “‘T can get no rest. His snore is somethin frightful. I have tried all the remedies ever heard of. I have rolled him over on his side, tied his jaw shut and tried to scare the snores out of him by pushing him out on the flodr. But it does no good. He gets worse and worse. ‘‘As soon as I dose off I wake with a start. The noise makes me think the roof is be'ng ripped off by a cyclone. What can I do?” The docfor sald he could not remember to have learned anything at college about the treatment of snores. He could not advise her. “Well,” she said, “if it goes on this way I will have to either give him knockout drops or get a divorce,” and she went back home. WILL TAMBLYN’S WEDDING. Surprised All His Friends When He Espoused Miss Mary Taylor. William M. Tamblyn, President of the Tamblyn-Powers Clothing Co., and Mias May Taylor, were married Thursday after- noon by Rey. Dr. Burnham of Pilgrim Con- gregational Church, They went at once to Clifton Terrace, where they will spend the summer. Mr. Tamblyn was at his office at the usual hour Friday morning. It was about as quiet as a wedding could be. Mr. Tamblyn took no one Into his con- fidence, even his partner, Mr. Powers, was surprised. When he started out to luncheon Thursdzey afternoon Mr. Tamblyn notified Mr. Powers that he would not return until next morn- ing. A Post-Dispatch reporter called on Mr. Powers during the afternoon and told him Mr. Tamblyn had procured a marriage li- cense, and Mr. Powers was straightway overcome by a large and active attack of astonishment. After wetting the license Mr. Tamblyn and Miss Taylor went to Dr, Burnham's house and he performed the ceremony. Then they went to Clifton Terrace. Mr. Tamblyn !s well known and popular. His bride is @ niece of Mr. Tamblyn's de- ceased wife, and after the first Mrs. Tam- blyn's death kept house for him until his children died. She then returned to the home of. her parents in Chicago. She came to St. Louis several weeks ago to visit rela- tives and “| wedding of Thursday was ar- ranged. She is a brunette, handsome, afhia- ble and versed in all the arts that make women lovable and charming. TO SERVE SIX MONTHS. Officers of the Musicians’ Protective Union Elected.

Smith, George Bauer, Charles Richter, Otto Kuenne ont & Bo hwendener. {THE GRAIN PIT EMPTY AND SILENT. FOR ONE HOUR NOT A SINGLE TRANSACTION RECORDED. ON 'CHANGE TRADERS IDLE. In Face of Bullish Statistics, There Was No Demand and No Money Visible. Between 10:30 and 11:30 o’clock Friday morning not one trader entered the grain pit of the St. Loufs Merchants’ Exchange, and during that period not one trade was made. This is the only time in the recollection of the traders when such a condition existed, Business in grain had fallen flat as a flounder, and that, too, when every statisti- cal and natural fact showed it should have been good. The visible supply of wheat at noon Fri- day was 20,693,000 bushels, as compared with 48,819,000 bushels last year, Exports have been large because England could get no wheat from India or the Argentine Repub- lic, leaving this country in almost undis- puted possession of the field. Of the visible supply in this country, near- ly one-half, or 9,960,000 bushels, is held at Minneapolis, and only 138,000 bushels in St. Louis. And yet at non Friday the 8t, Louis quotation of No. 2 red winter wheat was 3% cents under Chicago and 4 cents under Minneapolis. No export demand, no milling demand when there is not enough wheat in store to run the mills a week; no money and no prosperity. ‘The statistical situation,” said Capt. O’Shea,”’ is decidedly bullish. There ought to be here a rapidly rising market and a rush for trade. But there is no business whatever. ; “Millers, I presume, are holding off for the new wheat, and our elevator situation is very bad. I suppose the elevators know what they are doing, but it is very un- comfortable for the market to lack storage capacity. “Back of all this, however, the lack of demand shows an absence of money, witn- out which no business can be trasacted, In. stead of general prosperity we have gen- eral adversity. That is the foundation fact of the Exchange idleness to-day.” At 11:30 o'clock there were less than half a hundred traders at the auctions and prac- tically no transactions. Tom Francis shouted long and loud for July wheat, but only strained his lungs. Finally he sub. sided and silence reigned over the floor of the Exchange. Seth Cobh & Co.’s representative said he had never known until now a time when the grain pit was empty in trading hours. The traders sat outside the pit and wafted paper balls at each other. There were hardly enough chairs to accommodate a crowd, determined to sit down, which be. fore had never known the Exchange had chairs. It was a day of dead, dull and listless markets. CALLED IT PERSECUTION. George Woods Protested Against His Son’s Arrest. George Woods a night watchman at the City Hall, asserted before Judge Peabody in the First District Court Friday morning that he was being persecuted by the police, Patrolman Killihan arrested the watch- man’s son the night before because he saw him sitting in a doorway near the municipal building watching a drunken man, who wa asleep on the doorstep of a house nearby. “He San been arrested several times before this,’’ said the officer, ‘‘for similar offenses.” Judge Peabody fined the lad $19, and the father sprang to his feet and demanded to be heard. He said the lad had been sick and had come to the City Hall to bring him his supper, and the arrest was purely police prosecution, ‘‘Weren't some girls arrested for bringing beer into the City Hall some time ago? said the Judge. ‘Yes, but that was persecution, too.” “T’ll let the fine stand,’ said the Court, Woods and his daughter, Mrs. Hopkins broke into a torrent of vituperation and had to be threatened with arrest before they could be quieted. ATE TAINTED HAM. Half a Dozen Italian Children Poisoned by Bad Meat. Half a dozen Italian children, ranging from 2 to 8 years, ate tainted ham sausage for lunch Thursday. They were removed to the City Hospital, where, under the treat- ment of Dr. Sutter, ail have recovered. The children live with their parents, Mrs. Angelo Rosso and Mrs. Theresa Marcella, at 511 South Fourth street. Mrs. Rosso was in the Court of Criminal Correction, where she had a sult against her husband for wife and child abandonment pending. The chil- dren partook of a lunch of ham sausage bought at a neighboring grocery. Ina hour the children were all taken violently ill. An ambulance was called and they were sent to the hospital. Two were unconscious and it was thought they would not recover. The stomach pump was used, and Friday morn- ing they were out of danger. wo men were treated at the hospital a few weeks ago for the same trouble. They lived in the same neighborhood. 10 Days’ Stopover at Niagara Falls Allowed on Wabash tickets. THE LAW LEAGUE MEETING. St. Louis Lawyers Who Will Go to Put- in-Bay.

George Rockwell is in the Work-house and troubles are still piling upon him. Last month he was fined $100 for running an im- moral resort on Pine street, between Ninth and Tenth. He could not pay and he was sent to prison for six months, Friday morning his sister, Mra, Emma Seeman, 2847 South Third street, called at the warrant office and wanted Mollie K lley arrested. Molile had charge of Rockwel:'s establishment. Mrs. Seeman says the Kel- ley woman removed all of Rockwell's fur- niture and sold it to a second-hand store. The warrant was not isued.

Too Many Employers Refuse to Excuse the Soldier-Clerks. A large number of business men whose employes are members of the First Regi- ment, N. G. M., have declined to give the eoldiers leave of absence to go on the an- nual encampment at Fulton, Mo., next month. Col. Pdwin Batdorf will call the at- tention of Gov. Stephens to the matter, and ask that ‘he may take measures to enforce compass with the law. Col. Batdorf quotes the law and says every member of the militia’ must attend the encampment unless excused by the com- manding officer. Fine and imprisonment are the penalties for violation of the law. and if the law can be stretched to cover the cases of the employers who refuse‘to let the men go, Col. Batdorf will surely see that it is executed. Notwithstanding the number of men who do not yet see their way to joining the regi- ment nearly 600 of the First men have re- — that they will go to Fulton. Orders have been tssued assembling the command at the Armory at 7:45 p. m, on Saturday, July 3. The bicycle corps of Co. G., under command of Capt. Clarence A. Sinclair will leave the Armory at 5 p. m., July 2, and go to Patton to await the arrival of the com- mand. Ladies, Notice! Silk-lined Sults for $8 and up. stein Ladies’ Talloring Company. FIREMEN HAD TO HUSTLE. Advance Elevator “A” in East St. Louis Struck by Lightning. Advance Elevator “A” in East St. Louis, about one-fourth of a mile nerth of the Eads bridge, was struck by lightning about mid- night Thursday and except for the good work of the fire department it would have been destroyed by flames. Fireman Mike Kinney climbed a ladder running straight up the side of the elevator, a perpendicular ofimb of 110 feet, with a rope which was to haul up the hose to the rop of the building. Other firemen gained the roof from the op- posite side of the elevator and turned on the water tanks. The flood checked the flames almost directly, but not until the at ey and a considerable Quantity of grain ha: been more or less dama The elevator was recently purchased fro the Unton Elevator Co.

This is all right, no doubt, but the number of men and women who are chafing under the uncertainties that follow is large.” One distinct point of trouble with the teachers is that they can make no arrange- ments for the future. They have learned Mr. Soldan is preparing to make many transfers and dismissals and so the entire school pay-roll is disarranged. Ten-Year-Old Boy Drowned.

Large Crowds Gathered to Pray in the Presence of the Sacred Relics. The Feast of the Sacred Heart was ob- | Berved at the Visitation Convent at Cabanne Friday, with all the ceremony and devotion which characterizes the feast. The Feast of the Sacred Heart is looked forward to each year by the good sisters and by Catholics generally as one calling for especial observation not only because of its sacred nature, but because of the fact that a due observance of it carries with it a plenary indulgence. Early Friday the sisters of the Visitation Convent began to assemble about the shrine of the Sacred Heart, where the biessed relics of St. Margaret Mary are reposing, for meditation and prays At 6 o'clock a = al mass was celebrated for the sisters Fr. eurroughe of the Jesuit College. The sisters all commmaone and spent an neu aoe upon. their knees in prayer at the shrine Later devout tholics from Ba over the city arrived on their snare 5 worship at the shrine. All di tle groupe of worsh Dene spa round tne ttle structure and o aye ers and kissed the offered Darna tne relics of the founder of the Feast they were “Soa Dur catholie | oy there in a Sor shrine which - s the sa rel- ics of the founder of order of the Sacred Heart is atichted in the séutboaet corner of the Visitation Convent groun It is well apart from the main building and is surmounted = | an ornamental pagoda- like structure, which is scarcely a protec- tion from the elements. which = veral thousand good in the open air and In the middle of the inclosure, surrounded by a light iron he. is t shrine proper, carved monument of nore 8 Savior giving a bless religious orders who is neste To one side is a life-size statue a a angel bearing before him a lam ae 2 a Hane is kept burning at all ti by the rder of Perpetual Light, a society within the Visitation order organized and main- tained especially for that purpose.

The beneficent powers of the relic upon this day are ea ta ton and Boe 4 good Catholics are believed raculous influence. The faithful ereaent their physical ills the relic for healing ae well as their spiritual ills. The relic was brought to St. Louls about three years ago from ray la Moniel, In France, where the sister lived and died and where the rey bag Heart of Jesus wags re- vealed to her in a vision. The Savior \%- peared to her and p lained to her th adoration of the Heart as symboi- izing the pe 4 gene love of God for all his followers and believers. She hastened to relate her vision to her father confesscr, who was loath to give credence to it, be- cause the sister was but an humble worker who might have been mistaken. A short time later the same truths were revealed to her again and she was able to relate them with such circumstantiality that all doubt was emoved and the Feast of the Sacred Heart be same one of the great feast days in the church calendar. The creed of perpetual love and adoration of Jesus from that Gay began to gain ad- herents until to-day it is one of the largest and strongest in the Catholic Church. The order practices and teaches only gen- tleness and love for all; no harsh lines ob- trude anywhere, and the lives of those who ractice the faith are made beautiful and appy by constant adherence to the main clause in the faith—perpetual love and adoration. During the year which follows the feast and the pilgrimage all devotees who ob- serve any miraculous results from ap- proaching the relic are asked to inform their confessor.

PLAN FOR A COURT OF PUBLIC HEALTH ABANDONED. VARIOUS CHANGES PROPOSED. In Revising the Charter It Is Intended to Reduce the Health C.m- missioner’s Power. If the Municipal Assembly passes the -charter amendment ordinance as it will be introduced after President McMath of the Board of Public Improvements has finished revising it, and the endments are ap- proved by the people, e Board of Health will not be abolished. The ordinance as introduced at the last session provided for a Court of Public Health patterned after the one in New York City, wich a Judge, a Clerk and an addition- al City Attorney, to take the place of the Board of Health. It would have exclusive jurisdiction in all nuisance cases, violations of the health eode of the city, the handling of poisons and chemicals, the regulation of infectious and contagious diseases, etc. A code of proceedings was adopted and, altogether, the new arrangements had a for- midable look on paper. The amendment was embodied in the or- dinance at the suggestion of Health Com- missioner Starkloff, who aleéo made a num- ber of other suggestions looking to an en- la ment of his powers, r. McMath will knock out the formidable Court of Public Health with one stroke of his pen. In place of it will be a provision the Board of Health and if any- thing enlarging its powers as they apply to -~ melee over the acts of the Commis- sioner. ‘ When the Filley-Ziegenhein administra- tion came into power it was prophesied th the Court of Public Health business and the enlargement of the powers of Btarklo would be vetoed, It’s all the “push” can do to wait until hie term expires to get | rid of him. He is not openly obstreperous and he bows ar a og oe! to Ziegenhein when they meet, but he is not making any vacancies for Filley nephews and he is al- most as much of an outcast as Street Com- missioner Milner. President McMath discusses the Health pepertmant changes very guardedly. He emniled deprecating when asked about it. don’t really now,” he said, ‘“‘what changes will be made in the Health Depart- ment section. It seems to be the opinion, though, that the Court of Public Health would be an expenelive luxury.”’ “Will the Board of Health provision be re- inserted ?’’ : “There is no telling what may be con- tained in the ordinance when it is finally introduced. I have been disposed to kee my hands off of the Health Department, have no official interest in it and no personal} knowledge of it. My own ~legy, though that it is not a wise thing to give one man’ too much power in health matters. We might get a crank in the Health Commis s‘oner’s office who might do some very foolish things, for instance, send con- sumptive patients to Quarantine.

The people of the northern dis- trict may as well make up their minds to put up with the smell of decaying vegeta- bles over Sunday. Col. Butler’s elastic contract with the city calls for collections three times a week all over the city. In order to inconvenience the Colonel as little as possible the Board of Health arranged it so that he could make the rounds in the district north of Olive street.on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri- days and south of Olive street on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. By this ar- rangement he could get along with half the number of men, mules and wagons as if the collection was made in all parts of the city on the same pe be ' ‘Neither the Comptroller nor anyone else can make me collect the garbage all over the city on Saturday,” “Why I would have to. double my ment.

The Only Line Via Niagara Falls To New York and Boston with through Fridayn—St. ¥ le WALKED OUT 10 THINK ABOUT IT. TUDOR IRON WORKS MEN ARE DISSATISFIED. HAVE MADE NO PROPOSITION. Fifty Puddlers and Bushlers Quit Work to Get the Scale on Waste Adjusted. Fifty men employed in the bushling and puddling departments of the Tudor Iron Works, in East St. Louis laid down their tools and walked out Friday morning. They were dissatisfied with the manner in which the percentage for waste is re- duced from their tonnage, and stated that they would not resume labor until the scale was adjusted to suit them. As it is in these departments that the “first iron,’’ or pig iron, is prepared, the walkout will seriously affect the works as — as the supply of pig iron on hand gives out. ' The waste jis caused either through rust or the decarbonizing of iron in the furnace. For years the system of reduction has been to average the waste every few days. and then deduct the average which was always opeut 17% per cent. e men became dissatisfied with this, and asked that the crude iron be weighed daily, m2 hae tis ces ascertained. They er cent w reduction. , ee area & This was agreed to by the management, and a large scale built in the works. Be. ginning last Tuesday, the scraps were weighed out to the men and the returns from the furnace weighed at the end of the twenty-four hours. The waste averaged per cent, instead of 17%, as before. This made a difference of about $8 in the wages of the fifty men, or 16 cents each. e€ men were not satisfied and quit work Friday in order to hold a meeting and de- vise means to better their condition. Wora was sent to og, E. C., Hanpeter that the men would call on him at 1 o’clock in the afternoon to inform him of th sion reached. A reporter for the Post-Dispatch talkea with a number of the men Friday morning and all of them admitted that they did nor know exactly what to do. “We have not yet arrived at any conclu- sion,’’ said John Wilson, one of the ‘‘bush- lers.”” We asked for the change in the measurement of waste, and got the worst of it. The trouble Hes in the fact that some of the furnaces have. so much waste that they bring the average down. I guess we will ask that the material for each fur- nace be’ weighed separately, and then the furnace crew can make more if they are reached careful.”’ This conclusion was robab!l through fifteen men in the “Rudaling” de- partment who had so little waste Thursday that their wages averaged 65 cents above the wages of the thirty-five men in the ‘“‘bush- ling’ denvartment. anager Hanpeter did not seem to be worried. ‘There is no cause for alarm and no strike,’’ said he. ‘‘The men are dissatisfied and will be around later to tell the reason. I know the cause lies in the change in the system of deducting the percentage for waste, but they have not made any proposi- tion to me and I don’t know what they want. “IT am not at all sorry that the men have quit. We have a large supply of first iron on hand and as the waste is always greater and the work not so well donein hot weath- er as in cold we are willing that the men should ye though we would not have laid them off.’’ Mr. Hanpeter said there was no danger of the strike becoming general {n the works, as only the departments mentioned were affected. In 18% there was trouble in the works by which only two men were affected and 800 walked out, FIRE STARTED BY DOGS. And a Bull Terrier With Theatrical Training Gave the Alarm. John 8.

One of those who say they remember West is John T. Taylor of Guthrie, O. T. He was in the city Thursday afternoon en route home from Cleveland, O., and called at the Four Courts, supposing Williams was now here. Taylor was formerly a resident of Ches- terton, Ind., and recalls in rather graphic detail his experiences with Rev. West. He was a member of West's congregation, and joined the others in a meeting of confidence held the night of the preacher's disappear- ance, when West presided and prayed elo- ‘quently that suspicion be removed from m. " Taylor says he will meet Detective Viehle and J. G. Williams and give his testimony There are several reasons why so many omissions are noticeable in the record of West’s case. The first is that Capt, Huebler could never be persuaded to believe in the reacher’s guilt. Having made up his mind, e was inclined to pooh-pooh the whole testimony. In this he had the support of Dr. nade one or two Susie Beck, and had written the certificate A Chicago, and tricity the man who uneert was @ North humation autopsy.

Conductor McClurg of the Lindell Road Was a Jilted Lover. Charles L. McClurg, for three years a con- ductor on the Lindell Railway, and re- garded by the company as one of its best men, committed suicide Thursday afternoon at the Vendome Hotel, Thirteenth and Pine streets, by taking laidanum. McClurg was 35 years old and lived with his sister, Miss Ida Kyle, at 78% Bayard ave- nue. At his sister’s home no reagon could be given for McClurg’s self-murder, He reg- istered at the Vendome at 5 o’clock Thurs- Soy morning. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon aid was summoned to his room. He was dying and asked for his sister. He was dead when she arrived. In the room were found three notes addressed to Miss Lena Rogan, 1028 Hickory street. From the contents in the note it would seem that McClurg was in love with Miss Rogan, but had been re- jected. A portion of one note read: “I may be wrong, but nevertheless I claim you had a big hand in that game that was played last night, which is the cause of sending a young life to a suicide’s grave. So I tell you that you have my entire. forgive- ness and love to the last.” The family living at 1028 Hickory street claims not to know Mise Rogan and to know nothing of her whereabouts. The woman in the case, Mrs. Leona Ro- gan completes the story partially told in the letters left by McClurg. To a Post-Dis- patch reporter she said; I expected this, from a remark Charles mada Wednesday night. He wished me to go to New York with him and obtain a di- vorce from my husband, who travels for the Armour Packing Co. I told him that I loved him, but that I could not leave the city. He was very much depressed, and when leaving me said: ‘If you hear of my death to-morrow you can know you are the sole cause of it.’ I called him back and tried to dissuade him, and hoped I had done so. He was jeal- ous of another mah whom he thought I cared for, and that, together with the ” possibilit of our marriage, undoub caused his death. I was with him Wednes- day night from 8:30 until after midnight, and during the evening we quarrel count of my refusal to do ae he have known Charles seven months, family knew that we were sweeth threatened to kill himself once before, but talked him out of it.” Mrs. Rogan lives at 1028 Hickory, strept, despite the denials of the inmat e s that on account of her husband they were instructed to deny to everyone that she lived in the house. $12.00 Mackinac and Return Via Clover Leaf Route and the magnificent D. & C. steamers.

Mark Twain Sends Back t the Herald the Fund Raised. PARIS, June %.—The Paris edition of the Herald publishes the following from Mark Twain:: To the Editor of the Herald: I made no revelation to my family of your generous undertaking in my behalf and for my relHef from debt, and dm that I was wrong. " Now that they know all about the matter they contend I have no right to allow my friends to help me while my health is good and my ability to work remains, that it is not fair to my friends and not justifiable and that ét will be time enough to accept help when ft shall be proven that I am no longer able to work. I am persuaded that they are right. While they are grateful for what you have done and for the kindly instinct which prompted you, {t is urgent that the contribution be returned to the givers, with their thanks and mine. I yield to their desire and for- ward your check and my indorsement of it to you. I was glad when you Initiated that move- ment, for I was tired of the fact and worry of debt, but I recognize that it is not per- missible for a man whose case is not hope- less to shift his burdens to other men’s shoulders, There is a sort of frapped frigidity in the relations now existing between Mike Mc- Kelligan, one of the foremost citizens of the Patch, and his former groceryman, Jerry Hoolan. Mike is a man who believes in paying his honest debts, no more, no less, and Jerry has an equally high sense of the honor that should obtain in dealings between gentlemen and “towniles,”’ as he and Mike are, both having come from Ballykilgully, in the Shamrockian Isle. As it is now, McKelligan purchases his dry and wet groceries from the hated Dutch- man at the next corner, and Hoolan has lost a good customer. It all came about through the connivance of two of the star members of the “‘Never- sweat” Club, which holds out upon Divi- sion street, who played it pretty low down on McKelligan and Hoolan. McKelligan gotin a big load of coal one day last week, and his wife, not wishing to put a further strain on the back of her husband, who titil- lates tons of coke into the gas-house fur- nace, decided to hire somebody to shovel it into the cellar. The two Never- sweats were standing on the corner engaged in their favorite occupation of waiting fora assing brewery wagon to exercise their ypnotic influence on a Keg of hops and Svengali it into the club-house. They agreed to violate the tiron-clad constity- tion of the club by accepting the job for the price of three “scuttles of suds.”’ Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 26.—‘‘Robinson vs. La- dew” was the title of the case before Jus- tice Franklin at Oyster Bay to-day. It in- volves a red Irish setter dog, value $15. In- cidentally and indirectly millions of dollars were involved. For the “‘Ladew” was the wife of E. R. Ladew, vice president of the Leather Trust,” member of the rich firm of Fayerweather & Ladew of this city. Mrs. Ladew has also the honor of being the ais- ter of Berry Wall (formerly the glass of fashion. whose lustre {s somewhat dimmed). And the “‘Robinson’”’ was Richard Robin- son, coachman for the past twenty years for Girard & Beekman, who own Beek- man Hill. The Beekmans give their moral support to their old coachman in the suit, on eaiashe of the dog was a contest of fashion- ables who have made thelr money and a clique of fashionables who have inherited it The messenger, without turning a hair, accompanied the grocer up the street In the direction of McKelligan’s house. Hoolan wasn’t quite certain of the location of the house, and when his companion turned into a hallway in the middle of the block he fol- lowed him trustingly, revolving in his own mind the awful “basting’’ he was going to give McKelligan for doubting his word and insinuating about his sobriety. He didn’t finish his cogitations, for the moment he entered the dark hall he got a soak in the face that blinded him. Then the can was grabbed from his hand and he got another soak that knocked him flat. When he came to, he gave the Clan-na-Gael cry of distress that brought a thousand people, including McKelligan himself, about him. It didn’t take long for Hoolan to under- stand the situation when McKelligan’s wife told him that her pass-book had been stolen by a couple of enterprising members of the Neversweat Club. Blinded with his own blood he visited the club rooms with a po- liceman, but though he found ample evi- dence of the fate of his large stock of gro. ceries, he didn’t find the revelers. He went back to McKelligan’s house and demanded that McKelligan stand good for the loss. as the goods had been lven on his name. When McKelligan's wife threw the pass- potent cause—incurable embrace 9 per cent of all “To constitute suicide years of discretion and says Blackstone.

He did not have force enough back of the ball to break the Raines law, but the Pirates almost broke their backs reaching for it. Mr. Carsey also used a smile with great effect. Had he not been 60 wild at times the chances are his glow delivery and his smile would have won out. Tannehill pitched for the Pirates and dished up a pretty clever article of ball, the Browns doing consecutive work with the stick {in only one inning. Both pitchers were given armor-plate support. In the second inning Donovan made @ most remarkable catch of a stiff liner which Dan Lally sent into the territory belonging to no one in partigular. In the fifth inning Tuck Turner ran afar over the foul line and gathered tn a foul fly which had been sent out by Brodie. Turner ran something less than a mile and brought up against the fence with a bang, but he held the ball. The people present reminded Turn- er that he had many charming character- istics peculiar to the peach, and Mr. Turner raised his cap. Hartman, Cross and Hallman also made nice plays and were the reciplents of com- pliments from the spectators. The series just closed in this city shows that St. Louis has at last gathered a lot of lively young players who are sure to make trouble for all comers before the season is over, provided they are kept in their pres- ent positions, and not changed around for 0 0 a ater gaa 1; Philadelphia, 8.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June %.—John L. Sullivan is in training. When he began on Wednes- day morning he weighed 267 pounds with- out clothes or shoes. In three days he has taken off 12 pounds. He will continue work- ing faithfully every day until when he will step into the ring at Ambrose Park, South Brooklyn, to box four or six rounds with Bob Fitzsimmons. If that meeting is satisfactory to Sulll- van and his friends he will sign articles to fight Fitz to a finish for the championship of the world, six months later. Sullivan ig 88 years old. He has had hard knocks and high living. Not that he has ever saturated himself with alcohol, ag his enemies have asserted, but the life led by a champion of the world is full of sudden changes from spartan simplicity and hard fighting to the utmost luxury. Such changes may be compared to running an engine violently at its greatest power, and then letting it rust from disuse. Sullivan had twelve years of that sort of thing. He hag survived it because the average man is a much stronger chine than any pos- sible combination of steel and steam, and because he has had vastly more vitality than the average man. Sullivan not only survives but he is fit to be trained hard and to fight to a finish in the opinion of William Muldoon, the best judge of a man’s physical condition in this part of the world. The fact that Sullivan is getting into good condition is full of encouragement for all men who have lived as they should not have lived are fat. There is hope for them. How does Sullivan train?

That will be a total oss of seventy-seven pounds weight in 150 days. That is equivalent-.to a shade more than half a pound a day. Then he will gradually allow himself to gain until he weighs 200 pounds. At that weight he will step in the ring. Sullivan will not only have made final reduction of sixty-seven pounds, but he will be in fighting condition, ready and able to fight to a finish. How is the marvelous restoration accom- plished? Here is the plan. bered first of all that Muldoon’s farm at White Plains is a beautiful place of ninety- seven acres, on a high hill, where the dry thin, exhilarating air is a great tonic. Broad lawns and leafy trees surround Muldoon’s house, a big, handsome and well-appointed mansion of the etyle of twenty-five years ago. In every direction stretch roads, bor- dered by fields of sweet grass dotted with many flowers. “When you breathe that sweet air,” said Sullivan to a Post-Dispatch reporter, “you can't help feeling like a boy.” Amid these pleasant surroundings the day begins at 6 o’clock, Sullivan is up an ready for business. holic beverages since last October, when he first began to think of challengin the winner of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons 4 ht, H's eyes are clear and bright ae polished agate.

Muldoon throws down a large ball as big as a watermelon and filled w.th air. The ball rebounds from the floor and Sullivan catches it as it flies towards him. Then he raises tt with both hands high above his head. This exercises the abdominal muscles especially. slams down the Dall, Muldoon, with all his might. of the light ball as — as possible and the consequent play of the abdominal muscles not only strengthens those muscles, but burns off the fat that clogs them now. Sul- livan's ball makes him lively with hands and feet. After five minutes of this work he takes a heavy ball, leather covered but weighing six pounds. This he passes to Muldoon witn either hand, swinging the arms at fu! length in the football fashion. Then he put it like a shot, that is, he pushes forwar: the ball from the shoulder through the air.

LOUIS MEN STRIKE IT RICH NEAR LEADVILLE. CHARLES M. SHARPE’S LUCK. Mines Bought Years Ago for $70 Now Supposed to Be Worth Millions. —_—— Two St. Louisans, who have worked all their lives for modest salaries, have struck {t rich. An almost forgotten made nearly twenty years ago bids fair to yield them uniold wealth. Charles M. Sharpe, until recently @ clerk in the local°offices of the M., K. & T. Railway, has gone West to claim the for- tune that awaits him, and his son, Charles I. N. Sharpe, will resign his position in the Auditor’s office of the Missouri Pacific to- morrow and leave St. Louis to join his father Thursday. The etory of the Sharpes lucky stroke of fortune was the main topic of discus- ion in local railway offices yesterday, Father and son are well known in railroad circles, Few of their fellow amnglores knew that they had interests in the West. They them- eelves seldom thought and never spoke of their investment until the news came that a vein of gold had been struck on the Sharpes claim, The claim comprises seven mines thirty miles southwest of Leadville, Colo. The stories told of the aang value of the claims are confilcting. hose who claim to have received information from the senior Sharpe say that he and his son will soon be in a position to emulate Jim Berry, the Lebanon millionaire, Charles I. N. Sharpe, the son, modestly says that he really can't gay how much money he is worth. If as stated yesterday the claim proves to be worth millions the story of the sudden rise of the house of Sharpe from drudgery to wealth will pass into history. In the fall of 1877 Charles M. Sharpe was e railroad clerk at Sedalia. One day there fell into his hands a prospectus of a mining agency advertising certain unworked claims near Leadville. Out of curiosity Mr. Sha with the agency and learn were for sale at $10 each. He bought seven of the mines paying $70 in cash for the lot. For years he plodded on and ve little thought to the purchase. Several times he tried to sell the claims but was unable to find a buver. Five years ago a mining operator of- fered to work the claim for a one-third interest in it. Mr. Sharpe had never seen the man but he closed the deal. From time to time reports of emall find- ings of lead ore reached him. He expended his meager profits in pushing the work on the claims. A year ago he deeded two of the mines to his son, Charles, I. N. Sharpe, on his com- ing of age. The young man, like his father, has been devoting his savings to working his easy acquired mines. The firet ‘ntimation the Sharpes had of their good fortue was conveyed to them in a telegram from the operator, saying that gold had been struck. Mr. Sharpe went west at once. The Sharpes reside in a modest flat at BS214A St. Vincent avenue. A reporter saw Charles N. Sharpe there last night. Mr, Sharpe is a shrewd looking e corresponded that the claims oung bus- iness head. “Yes,"" he sald with a deprecatory alr, “they say the mines will yield handsomely. Just what we will make I can’t say. We will probably not have to work for other people any more, that’s one consolation, I will not believe I am a millionaire until 1 get hold of the money. The boys down ar the office have been talking a good deal, but I have no definfte knowledge of the Value of the claims. “One thing is certain I won't become a seoond Berry in the sense that I will s a my money foolishly. I’ve worked ard enough for it all my dife to know its value.” RAILWAY PROJECTS. The President of a Mexican Line In- terviewerl.

A Gay Asiatic Tells a Muscular Matron She Is Pretty With Dire Results, A drunken Chinaman with a basket of clothes and an Irish woman with a quick temper and a bucket of dirty water enter- tained half a hundred spectators at Twelfth and Carr streets last evening. Yee Gow is part owner of a laundry at 1435 Biddle street. His partner, Charile Soy, was sick all last week, and upon Yee devolved the lion’s share of the work. He was so busy there was no time to make collections and Saturday found the firm’s coffers empty. But there was a pile of laundry to be delivered, Yee had grumbled considerably during the week ‘about having all the work to do and when Charlie suggested that he deliver the work Saturday afternoon the suggestion was accepted with poor grace. e firet basketful found its owners eafe- ly and the money therefor was deposited in Soy’s hands before the second trip was undertaken.

CITY HALL OFFICIALS TOOK A VA- CATION. MAYOR SET THE EXAMPLE. The Charter Doesn’t Provide for It, but That Made No Differ- ence. A little thing like a charter provision does not bother the City Hall employes under the reign of Ziegenhein I. with their pleasure or convenience they pass itup. The Mayor sets the example. The charters says city employes must toil during the summer months from 8 a. m. to6 p.m. It says nothing about a Sat- urday half holiday. It is pleasant and convenient for the push to knock off work Saturday afternoon an get an early start on their Sunday recre- ation. They, therefore, do so, The Mayor and nine-tenths of his work- ing.force were out at the Fair Grounds, or elsewhere, yesterday afternoon, when they should have been at their desks earning their fat salaries. The Mayor left the office, as usual, at 11 o’clock for lunch, and never returned. Son Adam came back and lingered around until 8 o’clock, and then he, too, ducked. From that hour to 5 o’clock the office was in charge of the colored porter. At 8 o'clock a _ reporter took a turn through the corridors. The busy hum of industry was not heard. In the office of the Assessor and Collector of water rates, where clerks usually swarm as thickly as job hunters around the May- or’s door, there were only four.men in sight. Across in Water Commissioner Hol- man’s office there was only one. In Health Commissioner Starkloff’s office Max Kauff- man was enjoying the electric fan all by himself, Clerk Scherer was the only man at work in the Register’s office, Boller Inspector Price was just leaving. There were three clerks in the License Commissioner’s of- aoe and three in the Supply Commissioner's office. The doors of the offices of the City Coun- cil and House of Delegates were locked, as were those of the Auditor’s and Treas- urer’s offices. Two clerks were Comptroller’s office. City Counsellor Mar- shall and his assistant, Mr. Allen, were at their desks doing the martyr act. There was one clerk~-in the Building Commis- sioner’s office, and three of the Street Commissioner's men were lingering about with disgusted looks on their faces. About half of the force of the B. P. I. was at work. Three men were in the Sewer Commissioner’s office and one each in the Plumbing and Bridge Departments. Three men were talking Derby in the Sani- tary Division. At the new City Hall all that remained of the big forces of the Collector and As- sessor was half a dozen clerks in each of- fice, GEORGIA’S DAY. Parade in Honor of the Governor at the Exposition. NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 26.—A busy, stirring, exciting week,, filled with interest- to the city, was most gloriously ended to- day with the celebration of Georgia Day. Fully 2,000 Georgians attended and the pa- rade in honor of Gov. Atkinson was one of the most attractive ever witnessed in this city. The procession was about three- fourthe of a mile long, but in beauty and completeness was perfect. The feature of the late afternoon and early evening was a most charming lawn arty given the visiting Georgia women at the oman’s Building. by the Woman's Board. It was a society event, largely at- tended,and those present were gowned most attractively. Colored lights and splashing fountains added to the eauty of the scene. After the lawn party fireworks com- limentary to the Georgians followed. The ay was @ success from beginning to end, the attendance large, special features most excellent and the dress parades of the sol- diers most attractive.

Annie Bailey, a colored woman, aged #0 years, was struck yesterday afternoon by a suburban car, between Plymouth and Wagener. streets. .She was taken to the Hodiamont Station, and upon examinaticn was found.to have sustatived a severe scalp wound.

ATTITUDE GERMANY. OF Emperor William’s Significant Remark Concerning the United States and the Monroe Doctrine. LONDON, June %.—The Britons’ colossal pageant, one of the greatest the world has ever seen, has been completed without a contretemps to mar its success. This has been an anxious week for those in author- ity; byt the whole scheme for the celebra- tion of the Queen's jubilee was largely planned, carefully carried out and has been a triumph for the management and an ob- ject lesson in unity for the hosts of guests. The latter has seen in the gathering repre- sentative contingents from all parts of the empire, who gave a meaning and a purpose to the procession, generally lacking in sim- llar displays. It is an open secret that the Prince of Wales was among the hardest workers: Not a single step of importance was taken without his approval and much of the praiseworthy work done is directly due to his initiative. A notable exception to this state of af- fairs was the religious service outside of St. Paul’s Cathedral, which was _ the Queen’s idea. en it was suggested it filled the officlals with dismay and disas- ter was feared as a result of the rush of sightseers into that narrow neck part of London, but courage and resource accom- plished the Queen’s wishes and the task of managing the hosts, numbering a couple of million people, within that exceedingly limited space and amid ecenes of extraor- dinary excitement was carried out in a marvelous manner, thanks to the skill of the police and their strategy in preventing the possibility of rushes and also thanks to the admirable demeanor of the crowds. The foreign representatives were greatly impzsessed with the way everything was carried out. Unqualified and generous approval of the festivities has been bestowed by the press and people of all nations and communities. The evident disposition of the whole world to show in the jubilee and. extend it has caused the liveliest gatisfaction and added to the general rejoicing. The naval review was a fitting, termination of the week’s cere- monial, A pleasant feature of the week was the Americans’ complete success. The United States Special Embassy was easiiy the most prominent and the most honored through- out the celebrations by all odds. It is al- most needless to add that Col, John Hay, the United States Ambassador, is equally pretence. Both he and the rest of the regu- ar Embassy have done all in their power to insure Mr. Reild’s success. One of the Sec- retaries of the United States Embassy said to a reporter of the Associated Press: “Tt goes without saying that the British coum officials were all polite to their guests; Reid's case all, from royalty ' downward, have gone out of their way to show that something more than courtesy was intended. Every possible means was taken to show Mr. eid the appreciation felt here of the compliment President Mc- Kinley paid to the Queen.” The feeling in the press {is indicated by the editorial of the Standard of Friday, which said: “It would be a most ungra- clous Omission to forget to offer sincere ‘thanks ‘to all foreign countries that have ‘sign was a in the, participated in the added materially to Queen and her people ubilee They have ® pleasure of the y forgotten kindness. éeir never-to-be- So far as the Amert- cans are concerned, we believe they are almost as pleased and proud ag though the jubilee were their own.” In short, nothing Is too good for Amer!l- cans in London to-day. The British are also hugely pleased at the way the Americans illuminated their houses on Jubilee Day. The designs on the residences of Mr. White- law Reid, Col. John Hay, Mr. Henry White, secretary of the United States Embassy, and Mr. J: M. Carter, were identical, be- ing the familiar big “V. R.,” surmounted by a créwn and the dates ‘1837-1897."

These illuminations were paid for by the United States Government.

SOUTH AMERICANS. Observed a Lesson in Industrial Co- Operation at Dayton. DAYTON, O., June 2% —The poetry of fact and matter was revealed to the Pan- American commercial travelers here to-day when they viewed the works of the Na- tional Cash Register Company in vy The manufacture and development of the machines appealed to them less than did the system of fellowship and community of in- terests between employers and employed. The relations existing in this happy fam- ily, made up in all of 1,300 employes and twu or three owners, were best manifested when lunch time came. It was served in the woman’s dining room. The veeseees were seated at small tables, at each o which also sat one of the factory girls, so called. An orchestra furnished music and a stranger surveying the scene would have nerumed it to be a gathering of society ladies and gentlemen out for an excursion. And the table talk would not have altered the assumption. The school where traveling salesmen are taught what to say to prospective buyers and how to say it; the system of offering prizes for suggestions from employes, as well as for the best work of the various departments; the choral society and lite:- ary club voluntarily formed by the women, and the brass band by the men; the gather- ing of small boys, mostly orphans, learning gardening, with prizes offered for the bes. work; all these things were sources of amazement to the foreigners. Vice-President Frank Patterson wel- comed them and read a message of re- ret cabled by his brother, the President, rom London. A thorough inspection of the plant was made. Mauro Fernandez of Costa Rica and F. Ferrari Perez of Mexico City spoke for the delegates. The former said he had never realized the meaning of unity until to-day. Here was the first step toward the solu- tion of the labor problem; here the work- man was made a partaker of the profits of his employer and was made to feel that he labored for a friend and not for a tyr- ant. The work here inaugurated, he said, would be taken yp by others and the twen- og baw century would witness a new life in apor. Delegate Perez spoke in a like strain. The party then went to the National Sol- diers’ Home where they were driven in carriages about the grounds. After an in- formal reception by Gov. Thomas and the other managers of the Institution the South American party es to its train and left at 7 o’clock this evening for Cincin- nata where it arrived at 9 p. m. WILL STIR UP HUCKSTERS. Board of Health After the Men Who Sell Decayed Vegetables. The Board of Health will be asked to take vigorous action against itinerant huck- sters, who peddle vegetables and fruits in the residence sections of the city. Several cases have been recently reported where se- che ae illness has followed the eating of un- wholsome vegetables bought from these wandering peddlers, who have no perma- nent route, and rarely appear in the same neighborhood twice in the same wéek. - latest case to be reported is that of the family of George Sedlitz of 2010 Shen- andoah avenue. edlitz'’s wife purchased some string beans from an unknown ped- dier. They appeared to be all right, and she preparea them for the family dinner. She, her husband and their 14-year-old boy, George, partook of the vegetables. Within a half ‘hour they were seized with terrible griping pains. They applied ordi- nary household remedies, but instead of giv- ing relief, the agony increased. At last Dr. L. A. Boise of 263 Park avenue was called in, and he immediately pronounced the cases serious. Extreme measures were taken to relieve the stomachs of the suf- ferers of the poison, and after a hard night's work the physician succeeded in bringing Sedlitz and the son around. Mrs. Sedlitz, however, is still very ill. ; The Sedlitz case is only one of many in- stances that are reported to the police con- tinually. The itinerant peddler is generally thoroughly irresponsible. He buys in the cheapest market, and being unknown to his patrons, he has no hesitancy in palming off inferior stuff on the housew!ves. Ptomaine pooning from decayed or other- wise unfit vegetables is one of the most serious problems physicians have to deal with, Its action Is generally rapid, and un- less strong antidotes are promptly admin- istered, it is apt to prove fatal. e physi- cians are interested in the matter and will ask the Health Board to take such action as will frighten the hucksters into stopping the practice.

FOURTH-OF-JULY DEPARTMENT, ey WILL AGREE GRAIN GRADES. ecnanbieias AND ILLINOIS COMMIS- SIONERS TO MEET. AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE. The Two States Endeavoring to Secure Uniformity of Inspection and Quality. The Rallroad Commissioners of two great States—Missour( and Tilinois—will have their inning in St. Louis to-morrow. A joint con- ference of the two commissons will be held at the Planters’. The Illinois Commissioners come in response to an invitation from their Missouri brethren. The object of the conference is to bring about a uniform system of grading wheat, corn, oats and other grain. In addition to being Railroad Commission- ers, the officers bearing that title are Ware- house Commissioners also, both in Illinois and Missouri, and in that capacity have to do with the inspection of grain. To the Illi- nois Commissioners this inspection is some- thing new. The grain inspection at East St. Louis has hitherto been under Board of Trade control. The last Illinois Legislature passed a bill delegating that authority to the Railroad Commissioners. The new law had an emergency clause attached and will be ef- fective on and after July 1 The commissioners will meet here and re- main in session at least two days, and prob- ably three. The grain grade question will be discussed in all its phases. People who are not familiar with the ane business have but little conception of the immens- ity, of the work involved in grading. For instance, in No. 2 wheat, the ordinary lay- man would presume that No. 2 in Missouri would undoustesty be No. 2 in Illinois. But No. 2 wheat is just what the inspector makes it. The purpose of the two commissioners is to reach an agreement as to what re- quirements must be met in order that cer- tain kinds of grain shall have a certain classification or grade. A Post-Dispatch reporter talked last night with Timothy J. Hennessey of the Missouri commission. ‘ “In my judgment,” he geaid, “there is urgent necessity for uniformity of grades. I believe such adjustment will prove bene- ficial to both the States involved. Now, for instance, they have certain grade. require- ments over at East St. Louis, and the grain is passed accordingly. Here in St. uls another grade test isin use. You can read- ily see the inconvenience of such arrange- ments. I believe if we can make a uniform adjustment it. will result in a large Increase of grain eE and thereby materially advance 8t. uis as a grain market.” Commisisoner Hennessey — President Langenberg and other members of the Merchants’ Exchange wil] be called Into the conference. It is intended the discussion shall be thorough. “While we are at it we want to doa good job,” said Commissioner Hennessey, “and we will be In no spo | about rushing mat- ters through. Judge Cicero Lindley, chair- man of the Illinois commission, was in St. Louls this afternoon. I talked with him about the work before us and he a es that good results would be obtained by a uniform system of grading. If we cannot get an absolute uniform system we will come as near to it as possible.”’ PICNIC RUNAWAY. Eight Persons on Pleasure Bent Were Severely Hurt. OHICAGO, June %.—Elght persons on their way to a pionic were injured in a runaway, one being fatally hurt. The in- jured: Mrs. Byron Seeley, neck and epine in- jured; will die.

Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. ATLANTA, Ga, June 2%.—The Georgia Populists have in view a programme of Btate and municipal socialism, which, if successful, will carry into effect the prin- ciples of their platform without waiting on the slow movement of national politics. They Propose to begin by putting the penitentiary convicts to work on a Btate railroad from Atlanta to the sea. The State already owns the Western & Atlantic Rallroad from At- lanta to the Tennessee River at Chattanoo- «ea, and it is proposed to put the whole of Georgia in touch with the Atlantic Ocean and the river navigation of the Mississipp! Valley. Rates to the Interior towns and cities of Georgia are relatively high, rising in pro- portion to distance from water. With a @reat State railroad traversing the State diagonally from Chattanooga to Savannah, the Populists think that rates would be re- adjusted on a lower level, Other lines con- necting other centers with the Atlantic, tho waters of tle Gulf of Mexico or the water- shed of the Mississippi Valley would follow mE, Saporations of the same general plan. o follow this is the construction by con- victs of telegraph and telephone systems be- ee the cities and principal towns of Geor- gia. apes with this programme of State clalism ia another of municipal socialism, y which the Populists hope to capture the towns and cities of Georgiaand make them 2 Senet seat of power for their party. e ownership by cities and towns of street railways, telephones and gas, water and electric light works, and of all business touching the public In the same way, !s pr - , and the city of Glasgow is the model.

By official count he came within 24,- 000 votes of an election only two years after Gov. Northen had rolled up a Democratic majority of 70,000. The Populists claim that ines was elected, but was counted out, There is no denial that a heavy fraudulent Wote was polled in Richmond County. Judge Hines is a lawyer and a man of effairs. For years he was on the bench of the Superior Court in Middle Georgia, and was looked up to as a man of character ard ability. e had been a life-long Demo- crat when he joined the Populists in 1892. He resigned the-Judgeship to accept the nomination for Governor in 1894 and eince that campaign he has been practicing law in Atlanta. 6 is a firm bellever in Gov- ernment ownership of railroads and tele- phs and in State and municipal social- sm generally. Speaking on the condition of the Georgia Populists and their plans for the future, Judge Hines says: “We are laying pians for the campaigns of 1898 and 1900 and are gaining ground. You would be surprised to know how many peo- ple in the cities are coming to our planks on the Government ownership of raliroads, as works, electric light works, etc. The ople ef Glasgow pay no taxes this year except a $2.60 poll tax. The city owns the street railways, iclephones, waterworks, gas works, baths and electrio light works and makes enough in them to pay all the expenses of government. The rates charged are iow, and still they make enough to run th ty. Ten years from to-day Atlanta wi run in the same way. I shall offer for the next Populist platform a plank pro- vi r working the convicts on a State gailroad from Atlanta to Bavannah. There would be little expense besides the cost of the rail, which is $1,800 per mile. The con- victs would grade the road, cut the cross _ from the forest and lay the track. The tate would have to bond for only about $2,000 per mile for rails and spikes and atum “o> on cross ties.’’ “‘Wouldn’t it cost a great deal to feed and clothe the convicts while they do this Hines was asked. ut one-third of the convicts on make them raise enough to sup- rt the other two-thirds and themselves,” @ answered. “They would raise corn, wheat, provender, vegetables, hogs, sheep and cattle; the factories would weave the cotton and wool for toll, and the women convicts would make the cloth into clothes. The State would incur little or no expense for the maintenance of the convicts, and at the end of a few years it would have a magnificent railway system, which would forever make the people independent of railway combinations. Low rates and good gervice locally, and distant markets would be secured for Georgia products. At the Same time a Jarge revenue would come into the State treasury.”’ In Atlanta, within the past few weeks, mayor Collier, who is a lifelong Democrat, spoke favorably of city ownership of street gas works and electric light works. This grew out of a contest between the City Council and the Consolidated Street Railway Company over an ordinance requiring that concern to put on transfers @t Broad and Marietta crossing where al! the radial car lines converge. The con- eolidated eeonny resisted and the matter is in litigation. Mayor Collier is an ad- mirer of Gov, Pingree of Michigan, and seems disposed to adopt Pingree’s attitude toward street railways. The Populista have been watching Mayor oljer’s movements with great interest and 6 thinks that sentiment for municipal socialism is rapidly taking root in Atlanta.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 2%4.—Former Senator Winton of Hackensack, N. J., a member of the commission appointed by Gov. Werts to consider the question of saving the Pall- sades, published this in his report: F. P. Albert wants the States of New York and New Jersey to acquire the strip of land between high-water mark and the foot of the Palisades and build a driveway thereon. Ten miles of the Palisades are in New Jersey and one mile in New York, and if the latter was only willing to contribute towards this scheme in proportion to the extent of its territory, the burden would be v y light in comparison with that which hew Jersey would have to bear. he com- mittee had an estimate made at one time of what this driveway would cost, and the fig- ures ran up into a million dollars. New Jersey will not further contribute toward this project. miles of its ‘water front, which has not been sold, to the project of creating a na- tional park out of the Palisades, and If Mr. Reed had not been Speaker of the House of Representatives last year, the measure would have been reported by the committee and passed. This State cannot be expected to make a gift of several hundred thousand dollars to préserve the Palisades, while New York de. clines on the ground that the Palisades are outside of its boundaries. While the commiasion were working to have the Palisades created into a national park Mr. Albert and others were pestering the Military Committee of the House of Representatives with arguments against the enactment of any law which would carry out the provisions of the legislation enacted by the States of New York and New Jersey. QUEER MUSEUM LOST. Fantastic and Horrible Collection of Hybrids Destroyed by Fire. Special to the Fost-Dispatch. SIOUX CITY, Io., June 26.—Of all queer collections of animal life none more unique was ever gathered than that known as the “Talbot Museum,’’ recently destroyed by the burning of the library of the State Uni- versity at Iowa City, Io. It will be prac- tically impossible to reproduce it and no amount of insurance could possibly make good the loss occasioned by its destruc- tion. Db. H. Talbot of this city, the naturall!st who made the collection, was an enthu- siast on the subject of hybridization. He has long maintained that the animal life of what he terms the “mid-continental belt of North Amerioca,”’ or that area bounded on the west by the Rocky Mountains on the east by the Alleghanies, on the nortn by the Arotic Circle and on the south by the Gulf of ‘Mexico, might be Patong / im- proved by judicious cross-breeding of the species peculiar to the extreme Atlantis and Pacific slopes, respectively. His fe- low townsmen, with few exceptions, re- garded him as a visionary, but a number of the world’s leading naturalists—amon them such men as Agassiz, Darwin an Wallace—at various times bore testimony to the value to science of much of hig work. In furtherance of his project for cross- breeding nearly every species known on the North American continent he estab- lished an experimental farm a few miles north of Bloux City and stocked it with every variety of beast, bird or reptile to be had for love or money. The time oocupied by his own expeditions in search of speci- mens covered many years. The expedi- tions extended all over British America, the United States and far into Mexico, His farm was a veritable menagerie. Minute records were kept of his experiments and s ecimens preserved of the various remark- able hybrids produced. Some of them were of much value—others inexpressibly horri- le. One in which he took the greatest pride Wasa cross between the bison and domestic cow. Another “vas a curious combination of the buffalo and the gebu, or sacred cow of India. Incidental to other work stuffed and mounted specimens were gath- ered by the investigator of the skins of nearly overy living creature in the temper- ate zone. even years ago the museum in- cluded over 20,000 specimens, together with a library of 4,500 volumes on the various subjects in which he was interested. It may be imagined that the works collected by a naturalist engaged in so peculiar a line of work were of no ordinary character. Men well qualified to judge prymeunoed the col- lection the most remarkable, fantastic and in its own peculiar way one of the most val- uable ever brought together. In 1 the owner met with financial re verses which threatened him with total ruin. Lest his creditors levy on and scatter is museum he deeded it to the Btate. Its value was In the neighborhood of $530,000 and the trustees of the State library gladly acoepted the offer.

They Will Oppose Him, or Any Other Stranger—He Comes From Noted Families. Copyright Press Publishing Company. LONDON, June %.—Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler of New York is the latest and most noteworthy accession to John Red- mond’s political following. It is said that Mr. Chanler is ambitious for a seat in the British Parliament, and will shortly be- come a naturalized subject of Her Britannic Majesty, which is an essential condition precedent to entering the House of Com- mons, At present he is the mysterious man of the Irish political situation. Every one is asking, as in the case of the fly in the amber, how he got there. He came over from America on the same steamer as John Redmond did early this year, and he has been the constant companion of the leader of the Parnell party since then. When- ever an Irish debate is on in the House of Commons, in which Mr. Redmond figures, Mr, Chanler is almost an unfailing occu- pant of the distinguished strangers’ gal- lery. He has become a member of the or- ganizing committee of the new Independent League in Dublin, which Mr. Redmond has been trying to establish in Ireland since Timothy Harrington's defection. More significant still, Mr. Chanler has become a member of the Board of Dtrec- tors of Mr. Redmond’s Dublin Daily Inde- pendent newspaper. Until Mr. Chanler’s accession to the directorate there were omli- nous rumors that the Redmond party was in dire financial agtraits. Since then un- doubtedly got an accession to its funds, and naturally Mr. Chanler is believed to be the succoring angel. He ig filling at pres- ent a large space in Irish political affairs, the ourlosity concerning. this mysterious connection with the Redmond party being widespread. It is even rumored to-day In Irish political circles that Mr, Chanler may be Mr. Redmond’s candidate for the va- cancy which has just occurred in the par- liamentary representation of South tos- common caused by the death of Luke Hay- den, who had been @ member since Par- nell's time, The difficulty about Mr. Canler’s Amert- can citizenship is not an insuperable ob- stacle as two months ago a ministerial candidate of a Fenian family, was only nat- uralized the day before his nomination for ea Parliamentary vacancy, The ites stand so well with the present jonist Government that the Home Secre.- tary would make no difficulty about grant- ing naturalization paper to Mr. Chanler im- mediately if they were demanded. But Mr. Chanler may not be ready to take the plunge so hurriedly on account of his ex- tensive interests in the United States. Mr. Chanler’s mother was an Astor. His brother was the first husband of Amelia Rives, ‘who wrote “The Quick and the Dead,” and is now a Russian Princess. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler is a lawyer. He owns property worth about $709,000, and will come into a million more when he is years old, and spent four years defending criminals in the courts of New York, with- out fee or reward. He has condemned the courts as barren of justice and never com- plained of the ingratitude of his clients. The Parliamentary vacancy in South Ros- common is exciting deep interest among Irish politicians. Mr. Hayden was a sup- rter of Redmond and got the largest ma- jority any Parnell member had outside of ublin at the last general election. ‘The con- stituency has been a Parnell stronghold and if Mr. Redmond’s candidate should suffer defeat there it would be a sure portent of the tota] extinction of his party at the next general election. The attitude of Mr. Dillon and his friends in the matter was explained to your cor- respondent to-day in this way: “If Mr. Redmond brings forward as a candidate some tried Nationalist, preferably one of Parnell’s old party who lost his seat after the split—there are several of them to’ choose from—we will not provoke a con- test, but will allow euch a candidate to be returned unopposed, but if some stranger to Nationalist politics is put up by Red- mond in return for or in expectation of financial help we will oppose such candi- date.” This obviously points to the contingency of Mr. Chanler’s candidacy or that of Mr. Rochfort Maguire, who was a member of Parnell’s party for a short time before the Irish leader’s death, and whose desire to to promote the Irish cause, but to safe- African Co., of which he is a leading spir- It is not improbable that the contest may be complicated by_the appearance in the field of the O’Conor Don as a home rule candidate independent of both the _ Dillon He was in Parlia- ment formerly as a Home Ruler. under Butts’ leadership, but was defeated when Parnell assumed the reins and has repeatedly failed to regain a geat since. He is a landlord of vast property in Roscom- mon and is genuinely descended from the ancient Irish kings. TO FAVOR LEVEES. Commission’s Work.

One of the future great wheeling organ gations of the city is undoubtedly the South- west Cycling Club. There is a great deal of the club spirit in the Southwest and the membership is constantly increasing not- withsanding the competition met with from two other clubs In the same portion of the eity. The Southwest men have a cozy and com- plete little club-house at 3007 South Jeffer- eon avenue, and every night there is a jolly gathering of the members. In the winter the boys have their friends to dances, and in the spring and summer never a week passes but some efttertainment is given. For thelr own pleasure the boys have a billiard table and a piano in the club, and they are never at a loss to entertain themselves. Many of the members of the club are Oliticians in a small way and some of hem voted for McKinley and prosperity. MeKinley appeared as President, but pros- pority did not put in an appearance, and he jlast entertainment given by the club was a “hard times smoker,’’ at which the peotrerepn used on this page was made rom a ashlight. Prizes were offered for the “bummest’’. get-ups, and that’s why the photograph looks like a group of tramps. The club goes in for gocial features to @ large extent, but some of the men are romising riders and several of them are estined in the near future to take rank wh the leading amateurs of 8t. Louis. he club’s second annual road race, which run over the Tower Grove course a resterday, is now a thing of the be participants have not yet fin- As usual, the weather clerk got in his work, but despite the wet and mudy condition of the course, KE. W. Maulhard clipped 42 seconds off the time mate by C. Sommer iast year, and Otto Fust, Who won first time prize, beat by “4-6 seconds the time in the previous race, made y F. Sebastian. This shows that the boys are making rapid strides as road riders. The distribution of the prizes Wednesda evening turned into a love feast all around, The American Pagle Orchestra, under the leadership of Charlies Kosta, struck up “Bee the CSenquetng Hero Comes” as the winner etepped forward to receive his prize. Speech Making was jin order, and every one was asked to explain why he hadn't won. Some of the reasong were ludicrous in the ex- treme, one of the contestants declaring that he was making such a terrific race that the friction burnt out and then melted his bear- ings. . J. Detny thought he was playing a joke On some one else, but his joke acted as a boomerang. He is the manager for a well- Known hay and grain establishment, ana he donated the choicest bale of hay in his stock as a prize for the rider finishing last. He received the Iimit, a start of eight min- Utes, and then finished absolutely last, thus winning his own prize. He declares he rode this best, but he is a pretty shrewa Dusiness man and there is a well-definea #uspicion that he purposely me beat to pre- vent that bale of hay changing hands. There was a lively business meeting or he Southwest Cyclers Wednesday night. t wis decided to take permanent member- ship in the newly organized United Wheel- Clubs of St. Louis and delegates to the central body were elected. These delegates Henry McElhose, A. G. R. Goetch and enry A. Voss. The semi-annual election of a house com- mittee for the club, the six months term ‘begin hem 1, resulted as follows: E. J. Deiny, Chairman; Edward L. LEisleben, Charles A. Westermayer and Joseph Gut- jahr. Walter M. Nory and O. F. Everts Were elected new members of the club.

TIPS THE SCALE AT 430 POUNDS He Has Three Fat Brothers and Their Aggregate Avoirdupois Is 1,140 Pounds. There have been many claimants for the honor of being the largest wheelman in St. Louis, but this distinction undoubtedly be- longs to William J. Schulte of 3702 Cook avenue, who tips the beam at 430 pounds, and not only rides a wheel, but is an all- round athlete, being quick and active in spite of his tremendous wefght. He can kick as high as the average ballet girl, and can hold his own at both jumping and run- ning. Mr. Schulte is a son of George J. Schulte, the well-known commission man at the Merchants’ Exchange, and a brother of John J. Schulte, a prominent Democratic politician. Hie is 28 years of age and has three broth- ers, all of whom are large men. Michael weighs 250 pounds, Henry 240 and John, Jr., 2%) pounds, making the aggregate weight of the four brothers 1,140 pounds. Mr. Schulte rides a common high grade safety wheel. The first wheel he tried broke down when he mounted it, but since that time he has had no trouble. He is of a retiring disposition and was much averse to having his name appear in print and in order to prevent it told the re. orter that he had abandoned his wheel for he summer and would ride no more until] the weather became cooler. Mr. Schulte is agent for “Schrage’s $1,000,- 000 Rheumatic Cure” and a large picture of himself in wheeling costume adorns the wall of his office at 1210 Biddle street. HERE’S A GOOD SPOT. Morse’s Mill Is an Inaccessible Place Except to Bicycle Fishermen. The recent success Messrs. Hildebrand and Hellmich had on their bicycle-fishing trip has led them to lo#ok for new fields to conquer. They are now More ambitious, and they will start on thoir next trip right. There will be many a bdicycle party out next Saturday, Sunday and Monday, but it is safe to say none will enjoy the time more than those who ride with the two H.’s, Mr. Hildebrand has arranged the trip. The party will consist of Mr. and Mrs. Hildebrand and Mr. and Mrs. Hell- mich on their tandems, Mr. W. G. Sim- mons, Tom Dempéey, Al Rehbein and Prentiss Soudder. The objective point of the journey is Morse’s Mill. The ladies will leave Friday evening and ride to Fenton, where they will spend the night, and Sat- urday they will ride to the mill. The men will leave town Saturday afternoon and ride straight on through to Morse’s Mill. The party will remain there Saturday night, Sunday, Sunday night and Monday, returning to the city Monday night. Each rider in the party will be armed with a rod and fishing tackle, and they ex- ect to slaughter the fish in Big River. his is said to bé one of the best fishing places in Missouri. Morse Hill ie about elght miles away from the railroad, and can be reached only by a long drive over a rocky and villainous country road, Consequently fishermen there are few and far between. To wheelmen with an eye for the artistia and beautiful the ride to Morse’s Mil! is in- spiring. It is forty-one miles away from the city limits, and Mr. Hildebrand thus de- scribes it: “One of the most interesting bi- ——y cycle trips out.of St. Louis is the ride down to Morse’s Mill. The scenery along the route is picturesque, and the roads for bicyclists are both good and bad. The country is wild, gna the old mill is an ideal spot for fishing. he riding of bicycles, especially of tan- dems, is something extremely new to the mnabitents of the small villages along the ay. “iret we g0 to Fenton, eighteen miles out, and then cross the Meramec River into Je erson County. It is all up-hill work from Fenton to High Bridge, but the as- cent on the seven miles is so gradua! that an expert wheelman never notices it. From High nett to Hauser Springs we go down Entire Hill, just one mile long. Hauser Springs is just a little over halt Way to Morse’s Mill. After arriving at Hauser Springs we take the right hand road, which is about the best course we will have to cover during the ride. The road is in per- fect condition, and the scenery along the way is inspiring. We cross Big River sev- eral times from there on over the pictur- esque red covered bridges. Byrnsville is the next village, almost ten miles from the last Stopping place. Here is a beautiful little waterfall. Local is just a mile or so beyond, and we again come to the Gravois road, but are none the gainer for it is a. continual eP-ene-down hill for the remainder of the distance, about eight miles through the sand and the bowlders. “This road seems all the more rough bhe- cause of the level road around Byrnsville. Cedarville is only a short distance beyond Local, where the roads cross, and from there on the road gets worse and wore. It is extremely rough and rugged and an ordinary rider can hardly stay in his saddle for the next half dozen miles and until the end of the journey is reached. ‘The trip back again is no less interest- ing. We think with horror of those long hills down which we so much enjoyed coast- ing and delight to come to the places so laboriously worked over on our way down,” NEW ROAD RECORDS, Chairman Kennetstein Allows a Bunch of New Marks. W. L. Kennetstein of Terre Haute, Chair- man of the Road Records Committee of the Century Road Club of America, has an- nounced that the following new road records have been allowed: Henry Smith of Baltimore made the follow- ing Maryland State records May 9 and 23, 1897—Five miles straightaway, 13:21%; 10 miles straightaway, 28:19%; 15 miles straight- away, 45:36%; 2 miles straightaway, 1:09:30; 20 miles, standard course, 1:03:21%; 25 miles standard course, 1:21:33%; 60 miles, standar course, 2:43:28%; 75 miles, standard oourse 4:17:1%4 (American); 100 miles, standard course, 6:57:08; 200 miles, standard course, 14:81:85; 800 miles, standard course, 22:56:08 (American).

Early Morning Contest at Forest Park Next Sunday. — There will be few people out at Forest Park to see the annual road race of the Cross Country Cyclers July 6, because the race is set for such an early hour in the morning. It will be started at 7 o'clock, and the distance will be twelve miles, three times around the course in the recent Forest Park road race. There is a great deal of rivalry among the Cross Country Cyclers, and some inter- esting contests are sure to develop. Hand- some priges are offered for both place and time, and the Cross Country riders will have fitting incentives for their best efforts. The first time prize fs a magnificent and massive silver cup that is on exhibition In he window of a Broadway jewelry store, t is offered by the club, and is a trophy well worth striving to win. KENNETH ROAD RACE. Prominent Amateurs Compete at For- est Park This Morning. The second annual road race of the Ken- neth Cycle Club willbe run over the full 13 miles Forest Park course this morning, beginning at 7:30 o’olock. The committee has succeeded in obtaining mn attractive lot of prizes, and the club as provided a beautiful gold medal for the time winner. The boys who will ride are all in good condition, and much interest is manifes on the result. The riders will be free from interference, as there are few vehicles In the park that oart in th . Some of the best rid- ng in the race, and Felix st, or Frank Costello, who start from scratch, should make good time.

ELABORATE PREPARATIONS FOR ENTERTAINING VISITORS. CENTURY RUN A _ NOVELTY, Railroad and Hotel Accommedations Have Never Been Excelled for a State Gathering. Maryville will be the wheelman’s Mecca from July 2 to July 4. The attractions of- fered at the State meet will draw the largest crowd of wheelmen ever asembled in that part of the State. The various committees having the big event in charge have been at work for months arranging & programme, the like of which was never surpassed in the history of the sport in Missouri. As the dates approach local interest in the event is steadily inereasing. Ten events will be contested on the race track’ on the afternoon of July 3 and the prize list aggre- gates $800 in value. “The appearance of many of the fast men of this State and of Iowa and Kansas and Nebraska ts assured and, as the track is pronounced t® be very fast, some new State records are looked for, The meet will occupy two days, into which will be crowded as much amusement and entertainment as possible. There will be racing between the State’s fastest men, rung and excursions galore, as well ag smokers. Hotel accommodations are spe- cially provided for the expected throngs, and wheelmen can secure special rates at $1.50 per day. Fully fifty St. Louis wheelmen have an- nounced their intention of attending, but the officers are in hopes of raising this fig- ure to seventy or more. Samples of the official meet souvenir will be on exhibition at the cycle agencies this week and they are the handsomest yet issued for a State meet. Secretary Rosen of the L. A. W. Consulate has mailed special invitations to all the club captains, urging them to at- tend with large delegations and replies should promptly be sent to him at 220 South Broadway, 60 that the needed ar- rangements for transportation can be made in ample time. The transportation arrangements are now complete, and the party will leave on the 8:20 p. m. Wabash train on July 1 and 2, ar- riving at Maryville at 7 a. m. on the fol- lowing day. Special cars will be provided, which will be held at Maryville until the conclusion of the meet, and will arrive back in St. Louis at 7 a. m. July 4 or 6. All ar- rangements have been made to make the trip enjoyable. A special baggage car will be provided for the carriage of wheels if the number justifies. When the Maryville Club extended the In- vitation to the division, it had carefully considered every phase of the situation, and + “nouncer., determined that every provision for a most excellent meet could be found in Maryville. In the official programme which has been | mailed to every L. A. W. member, the club | feels that sufficient incentive is offered to} secure the attendance of every L. A. W: member, and to wheelmen who are not) members of the league it may be said that! a cordial welcome awaits them, Every pos- | sible arrangement will be made for the! comfort and convenience of guests. Club) rooms are provided and open house will be kept. n arriving at Maryville a reception com- mittee will receive the guests and escort them to the official ea god pa to register and to obtain the official badges which se- cures the wearer free admission to all the entertainments and to the races, Members should be gure to bring their L. A. W. tickets with them, as without them half of the enjoyment of the meet will be lost. Wheelmen should also bring their wheels, as none can be rented at Maryville. The runs will be a big card for the first day, July 2, and the roads in and about Mary- ville are said to offer exceptional ad- vantages to affairs of this kind. A century run to the State of Kansas is on the pro- gramme as a novel feature, leaving Mary- | ville at 8 a. m., July 2, via St. Joseph. In the evening there will be @ reception and dance at the Calumet Club. The annual parade will take place at 9:30 a. m., July 3. The route will be short and it will wind up at the Fair Grounds, where the photograph will be taken, The annual division business meeting wil] be held in the Court House at 10:30 a. m., to be followed by the nomination of officers to serve during the ensu‘ng year. The races will occupy the afternoon. At 9p. m. a smoker will be given, at which the prizes won during the day will be distributed. July 5 will be a day of rest and recreation and all those who wish will have the op. | portunity of attending runs to all points of interest.

Many New Ideas to Be Sprung for the Convenience and Enjoyment of the Spectators.. Amateur racing men all over the West are watching with eager eyes for the “Gold Brick” meet of the St. Louis Cycle Racing Association, which is slated for the De Hodiamont track on July 5. The association made a happy selection in its choice ofa name for the meet when it called it the “Gold Brick” meet. The phrase has caught on in great shape and Secretary Laing is daily inundated with requests for entry blanks from amateurs all over Missouri, Illinols and Iowa. The Louisville “pures’ are also taken with the idea of winning gold trophies and they will have a representative or two at the meet. All the St. Louls men will be there at their best. So far some of the locals have not ridden in their best form. This is true of nearly every man riding in the “pure” class in St. Louis eave Charley MoOarthy and Dan Dougherty. Maule, Costello, White, Hattersley, Alex Laing, Joe Howard, Buder and others have not yet reached their best notch. They will all be in the best of form for the “Gokid Brick” meet and the competition between them for first hon- ors will be sharp. The gild-edged phrase has also proven too strong for some of the old timers who have for yearg resisted all temptations of the track and prige list. Eddie Grath will be seen on the track for the first time in three years, and we him go his old time rival and friend, illie cke, the ‘Flyin Dutchman,” of the early '9’s, where 'Sprin wag at once the terror and admiration of the St. Louis cycling community. Wicke and Grath are training every da at the track and will be in the best condi- tion of their lives for the meet of July 5. It is even gaid.that Arthur 5 ORnG, a man who was a fiyer in the early days of the or- dinary, will try his luck on the track with the best men of the safety and pneumatic tire. In his day Arthur Young was an in- comparable ordinary rider but his day was that of the ’80’s, If he starts, and it is ex- ected that he will, the competition of the est of two cycling generations will be not the least uninteresting feature of what promises to be the greatest day's sport éver seen in St. Louls. A match race of three corners between Arthur Yourg, Bob Lee and George Tivy, on ordinaries, would be an attraction of no ama!l value. The earnest endeavors of the pushers of the high wheel as compared with the winders of the easy sprocket and chain would be well received and appreciated by the spectators. It is expected that a great influx of Il- linois amateurs will be one of the features of the meeting. The St. Louis Cycle Racing Association will have a representative at the Springfield (1ll.) State meet to solicit the entries of the best men In the pure class in that State. It is pretty near a cinch that Bar! Pea- body, the Chicago champion will be found in St. Louis on July 5. - This city always was a favorite with the flyer from the lake. If he gets away with the St. Louis men at Springfield, Peabody will be surely willing to come to 8t. Louis and beat them again. He is out after 100 firsts thie year, and the large card here will give him an extra good chance to putin a good day’s work. Southern Illinois is full of good amateurs who will come over and try to take back the St. Louis-gold bricks to the Sucker State. Chicago, with its more than racin amateurs, will surely be represented. Al - all, the flelds should be exceptionally arge. Another feature of unusual Interest is that the public will have a chance to witness both the morning heats and the afternoon finals. As July 5 is the National holiday (the glorious Fourth falling on Sunday) the lovers of good racing will be in a po- sition to go out and witness all the heats run. Of course, the morning heats are just as much a part of the race as the finals in the afternoon and not infrequently the morning affairs produce the best and nee exciting finishes. In fact, the meet wil be an all day carnival of sport for those who want it that way. Mr. Laing gays there will be several new features ineorporated in the programme. One of the most welcome will be that, as every contestant in a race steps to his mark, his name will be called by an officia] megaphone announcer. Spectators at meets who have fn vain gearched for the means of identification on the man’s hidden num- ber and then on their programmes, will ap- reciate what it means to have each con« estant introduced to them by the an- It will save them a whole lot of trouble and time and will give them a chance to welcome their favorites in regu- lar order, As for the accommodations, transporta- tion facilities, etc., they will be better than ever before. Secretary Laing has made arrangements with the street car line to run cars every minute, and the return trip will be made under the same echedule. The Page avenue cars of the Lindell system also run within five minutes’ walk of the grounds, and speotators who find it more convenient to take this line can reach the grounds with comfort and expedition. The grand stand and seating capacity of the bleachers will be enlarged and im- proved. Accommodationg will be furnished for 6,000 persons. The refreshment and other privileges will also be well looked after, and everything that can possibly con- duce to the comfort of the spectators will not be overlooked. The track will be much better and faster time since it was first built. The Joint Track Committee or the Cycle Board of Trade and of the A. C. C. have arranged to have the north turn banked at once. This curve hag been a drawback to fast work and the races of the “Gold Brick’’ meet will go down in the history of the Pastime track as the fastest ridden tn St. Louis up to July 6, 1897. The two great events of the card will be the record-breakers’ race and the cose race between Felix Gast and Jake Weidner. The record-breakers’ race wij] shut out all riders save those who have ridden in record-breaking time. This will insure the best fleld of riders that ever struck the track. McCarthy, Maule, Hattersley, Cos- tello, Howard, Dougherty, Buckley, Grath, , White and Peabody will be the most likely starters, but any amateur who has broken a record will also be eligible to ride. It will be a paced race at a mile, and that a State competition record will be broken {Is certain. It should be by all odds the greatest amateur race ever ridden in the United The pursuing race wil] be, by consent of the two contestants (Gast and Weldner), limited to ten miles, which, considering the riders, should be enough for all purposes. The idea of the race is to start the men from the opposite sides of the track and at equal distances. Then the men will use every endeavor to catch each other Or. dinarily the race should not end until one Or the other is passed by his pursuer. but under the circumstances. it was thought best by the promoters and by the riders to limit the contest to ten miles. If at the end of that distance neither man ceeded in catching the other, the race will be to him who has gained ground.

NEW YORK, June 2%.—Though Amer!can actfesses and actors have reached a plane immeasurably higher than the average English player, still a London indorsement is too often looked upon by an American audience as a prerequigite to acceptable work.

It will be taken aver there by a clever New ‘York reporter, who went over the field a few years ago in advance of a Wild West show. -- -O— It is on the Continent just now that the most interesting events are found. Follow- ing the production of Tschaikowsky’s ‘‘Io- lanthe’’ at Munich recently there comes the performance in Leipzig of a new work by ¢ Russian composer. is is the opera “‘Du- rowsky,” written by Edouard Napravnik, which unt!] the Leipzig pes n had been heard only in St. Petersburg and Prague. The new opera, ich is in four acts, is id to have been a great success at the ‘ew Theater in Leipzig and the audience at the first performance is said to have in- Gorsed the wholly favorable opjnion of the Russian and Bohemian audiences before whom the opera has been sung. It might be noted incidentally here that accordin to a New. York critic the Bohemian capita is, in matters of art, surprisingly advanced and eclectic. New works of the drama as well as of music are imported from foreign countries long before they reach the court stages of various other European cities. It was Prague that first accepted this Russian opera, which, but for its enterprise, might have watted long to get as far as Laipsis without the Intervention of the Czech Thea- r The new opera ie based ona story of Puschkin. he hero,- Dubrowsky, through the machinations of Trojekuroff, is robbed of his possessions and estates.

The opera is likely to be heard on other German stages, as there are at present no works of a Russian character In the reper- tolres of any of the great opera houses and it is belleved that the novelty and variety of such an opera would assure acceptance for a good work of this school. — o— From Barcelona comes another interest- ing operatic novelty. It is the work of a roung Spanish composer named Amadeo ives, who is expected to make a great im- ression on the musical history of Spain. he personality of the young composer has done much to interest the public in him. He ts now but 26 years old and was the son of a wretchedly poor workman, and the mu- siclan has been no more favored by nature than by fortune. He is lame and one of his arms is shorter than the other, so that his musical studies were pursued under the most unfavorable circumstances. Only a few years ago he was singing in the choir of a emall country church. Later he be- came the director of an insignificant orches- tra. His opera was received with the most astonishing expression of favor. The critics ef Madrid and Barcelona declared that the new opera marked the beginning of a new epoch tn Spanish music, without Snpratncas whether or not it had an old epoch. This young composer did not, like the Russian, take Sie subject from his own country, but chose the plot of one of Sir Walter Scott's creations, and the libretto of his opera, which was prepared by a friend of the ae was called “Artus.”” Vives is writing a new opera based on one of the legends of his own country as it is told in Verdaguery'’s poem, “Canigo. A new German musical work is an ora- torlo by Princess Heinrich von Battenberg who its already known as a composer of songs. Her latest work will be produced next autumn. —_—o-— the other interesting newe from Europe ifs the pleasant information § that Melba has entirely recovered her health and voice. This comes at a most opportune time for Walter Damrosch, &s he is banking heavily upon her for the success of his win- ter campaign, although it is sald he has not yet eecured a contract from either Melba or any other of the famous singers he an- ticipates bringing to this country.

It is really hard to say which of the two great non-English speaking act- resses—Duse ‘and Bernhardt—ts the most popular. Bernhardt is probably nearer t9 the public because of her great art exciu- sively, because she will not meet strangers, Duse does not speak English and cares not to carry on a conversation through an in- terpreter. However, Duse’s wonderful work has made her one in whom the public Is in- tensely interested at all times. A recent let- ter from Paris telling of her first appear- ance in the French capital says: “‘Galtee More won the Derby, but the race, they say. was not nearly so exciting as usual—certainly {t couldn’t have been half s0 thrilling as La Duse in the Bernhardt handicap. After all, that is the only name for that eventful performance at the Rena-6- gance. It was literally a Bernhardt handl- cap from start to finish. Sarah hasn't been a diplomatist for fifty-six years for noth- ing. The manner in which she managed this Duse performance for her own aggrandize- ment was something too brilliant for words, and at the same time she cast herself for the most difficult role of her whole career— a silent but very nervous spectator from @ stage box of Duse’s victory. “For years Sarah has realized that Duse and she sooner or later must meet in his- trionic competition In Paris. Sarah's Amert- can flasco in ‘Magda’ last year, and Duse’s triumph a week later In the same character, made it Impossible for this French actress to hear the Italian's name even mentioned without entailing on her part the throwing of several cat fits. But by the t}me Sarah had got back to Paris she began to look at matters in a quieter light. “‘*Eh bien,’ said Sarah to herself, ‘she shall come, I shall see, and then we all shall see who will conquer. “It was at Christmas time that Bernhardt arrived at this conclusion. Her first step was to arrange an elaborate revival of ‘La Dame aux Camellias,” out of which she made another great success, Then she was interviewed, and her praise of Duse was overwhelming. She offered to alternate with her at the Bernhardt house, the Ren- alssance. Duse Was flattered and agreed to appear in Paris. “She desired to open her engagement :in ‘Magda.’ This, however, Sarah assured her, would be disastrous.

In the stuffy little lobbies they raved about her, and everywhere except in the !mmediate vicinity of Sarah’s box her praises were sung. “a pah’s pose at this stage of the game was magnificent. She leaned forward, bow- ing to the right and left, and her actions far more loudly than her words exclaimed: What do you think of my protege? Isn’t she charming? Isn’t she clever?

John T. Niekles Brings a Suit Which Is | the Outgrowth of Compli- cated Litigation. A peculiar damage sult ts to be filed In the Circuit Court within the next few days— probably not later than Monday. Attorney Charles Fensky is now preparing the peti- tion. John T. Nickles is the plaintiff? against Marshall W. Warren, Walter F. Warren, W. H. Brown, 8. 8. Brown and Attorneys Clopton & Trembly. The allegation wpon which the suit is based ts “‘malicious abuse of civil process."” Damage in the sum of $40,000 te asked. Behind this damage sult is a story of tedi- ous litigation, Never before in the history of St. Louls courts has a similar damage euit been filed. Therefore, the case will at- tract more than usual attention from the legal profession, jere is the story of how the damage sult happened to be brought: In May, 189%, John T. Nickles secured a contract from ’. H. Brown ®& Sons of Pittsburg, coal dealers, to deliver coal from Mississippi. River barges to the La- clede Gas Co. Marshall W. Warren was local agent fer the Browns, After Nickles had partially fulfilled his contract, he made a deenand upon Marshall W. Warren as agent, for a $400 balance for service render- ed. ‘Warren refused to pay the balance, Thereupon, John T. Nickles brought suit against Warren and the Browns, he case came up for trial in Justice Zenmerman’é Court. For some reason the case was dis- missed. After all of the parties involved, except John T. Nickles, had left the justice court, they engaged in a free-for-all etreet fight. Marshal Ww. Warren and Walter Warren, his brother, and a few outside friends were arrayed on one side, with Jacob, William and Ed Nickles—brothers of John T.—as their opponents. Marshall W. Warren emerged from the battle in @ somewhat disfigured condition. Through Attorneys Clopton and pesmbly, Warren broucht suit against the Nickles in Justice Kiine’s court, asking for $500 dam- ages, alleging assault and battery. Judg- ment in the sum of: $50 was secured. The money belonging to Nicki hands of the Browns was subject to garnishment proceedings. John T. Nickles, the respon- sible defendant—aithough it was his broth- ers engaged in the figh'—took an appeal to Circult Court Division No. 2, where the dam- age suit is eril pending. Then comes Nickels with another suit against the Browns for the collection of the money claimed to be due for coal de- livery, Funds in the hands of the Laclede Gas Co. were attached by Nickles. Clop- ton & Trembly, the attorneys, added to the complication abous this time by filing a bill of interpleader, wherein they set forth that ‘they had in their hands a sum of money to be paid to the rightful owner. Different rties claimed the money and they wanted ie claimants to interplead in order that the ‘ourt might determine the question as to the ownership of the money. The claim- ants were made defendants. This feature of the case was tried in Judge Valiiant’s court last week. A decision was rendered o the effect that the money in dispute be- Bae to John T. Nickles. A motion for a new trial has been filed and it is expected that the case will yet go to the Supreme urt. Attorney Fensky declares that the defend- ee in the damage suit are guilty of ‘‘ma- s abuse of civil process,’’ in using the courts to deprive John chiles of the use of the money in question, “Tt is the first case of a similar nature St. Louls courts,” gaid Fensky, “but I believe we have a ver filed in the wyer good basis to work wpon and I expect to push the suit in an aggessive manner.” The only connection Clopton & Trembly had with the case was in the capacity of attorneys for the Browns and Warrens. This litigation, which had its inception tn Justice of the Peace Court, will be very kely to reach the Supreme Court of the te and possibly of the United States be- fore the end comes. The amount involved in the original suit is comparatively smail, but the litigants are case, eculiarly mplicated 6 a on it in eral of ranches rs of different jong of the Circuit Court. e finale is awaited with much interest by «t- torneys, now that the big damage suit in- volving a new jexal point is to come. Lawyer Fensky sayé one of the most un- fortunate features of the complicated liti- gation is that while the money involved is tied up numerous laborers who were in the employ of John T. Nickles, are suffering. Nickles is unable to pay them until he gets hig money, os hy of the a a of Clopton mbly is United States District Attor- nm 6 The prominence of the parties in- volved adds interest to the case.

The Judge reached in and pawed out a fiver. “Oh, pshaw, Judge,” said the friend, “take a good one. I don’t want you to smoke a stogie when I set ‘em up.” “How good a one did you want me to take?’ asked the Judge, craftily. “Oh, about a 15-center.”’ “The Judge reached over and got two more 6-centers. RIOT IN COURT OVER A $40 SUIT. CASE OF GOLDBERG VS. BIEBER- STEIN HAD A HOT FINISH, MONTY PUNCH WAS PUNCHED. Justice Spalding’s Decision Stirred Up Witnesses ,and Peace Came Only _ When Everybody Was Fired. A small riot, that threatened big propor- tions, occurred in Justice Spalding’s Court yesterday after the verdict in the cause of Edward H. Goldberg versus Sam Bieber- stein. . A constable, two attorneys and a half dozen citizens restored order in the court- room by firing the contestants into the street, Goldberg sued his former partner Bieber- stein for $40, alleged to have been advanced when the two comprised the Banner Tailor- ing Company at 800 North Broadway. Bie- berstein denied the debt. The plaintiff put Attorney Montague Punch, 910 Chemical building, on the stand to testify that the defendant had acknowl- edged the obligation. Bieberstein got in his denial of this, and intimated he would like to punch Punch, His attorney, T. D. Cannon, counseled peace, The Justice’s verdict or the defense caused a stir among the twenty witnesses that had appeared in the trial, and all hands gturted for the door. On the way Punch remarked to Mr. Can- non that Bieberstein had lied on the stand. Bieberstein heard this observation. “You're a liar,” he roared, and made for Punch. Punch ducked behind Cannon, The wit- nasses quickly took sides as they were ar- ranged in tho trial. “Come out of that,” shouted Bieber- this. stein, ‘‘and I'll lick youl’ The Blieberstein tnesses cheered Punch saw a fight in sight and made a vicious swing for his adversary’s face, but fell short. “Go in and lick him, Monty. He's easy for you,” encouraged the Goldberg fac- tion. The two forces moved closer. Sev- eral blows were struck. The yelling con- tinued. Little Mr. Cannon, struggling glasses, was buffeted about li a choppy sea. ‘Peace, quiet, gentlemen!” he called, but no one heeded him. While he was between the two combat- ants they managed to land a few times by reaching over his head, Justice Spalding’s order to get out was lost in the general din. He motioned to Con- stable Brady. “Get out, will yel’’ and the valiant con- stable charged full at the crowd that was ourging up and down the pasageway.

Chir- cester was a cathedral town which had not traveled apace with the rest of the world. even of tennis,except when played mildlyon their coneervative ladies; they disapproved even of tenis, except when played mildly on private grounds, and had played croquet steadily when croquet was dead, with a lordly disregard for their guests’ amuse- ment. Now that it had come in again, they played it joyfully, but still with the old light mallets and wide hoops of their youth. The mothers of Chirchester read the new library books with horror-stricken looks and little trickles of guilty enjoyment. Cricket hunting and the new “biking” were things their daughters might not do; riding gently along the roads was lady-like and permissi- ble, but the Archdeacon’s wife actually blushed when a thoughtless person asked her what safety habit her daughter wore, for Louisa Holroyd’s pretty figure was hid- den in an ample garment made by the local tallor, the ekirt of which came well below her dee est qrevance, her tiny buttoned boots. he rehdeacon’s wife was the sternest and most unbending of the ‘‘s=lect,’ as pe country people dubbed the church circle, The Bishop and his fat, merry wife had no children and were given to laughing lenient- ly at the vagaries of the New Woman. So it fell on the Archdeacon and the Dean to keep the select circle together, and, though there was a twinkle in the handsome Deans eye and a swing of his broad shoulders which hinted he had sometimes played brighter games than croquet, that, as Rud- yard Kipling would say, was “another story,” and, so far, he and the Archdeacon had been equal to their task. To-day the Dean was disturbed as _ he looked at an open letter on the table. The letter was from a cousin who was obliged to go abroad for an indefinite time on buai- ness and had written asking the Dean if he would give his only daughter a home durin his absence. ‘A bright, pleasant girl; 1 fee sure you would like her as a companion to your own girl,”’ and if the Dean consented she was to come ina week. How could he say no? He was to be liberally paid for his guest, and her father was an old friend; he must write to say he should be delighted. “IT am giad,” said Mrs, Carberry, nervous- ly, “that Cissie is away; very glad. More tea, dear?’’ and in sheer absence of mind she watered the teapot from the hot milk jug and handed a coup of the strange liquid o the Dean, who looked at it resignedly and rose, for he was'an equably tempered man, ‘ “Yes,” he said, “it is an excellent thing, for then, if the girl is at all advanced, there will be time to get her into our ways before Cissie returns.”’ * . * * o s A week later. The Dean and Mrs. Car- berry stepped nervously forward as the mai] thundered in from London and discharged ites living freight on the platform; then their eyes lit joyously on a gir! clad in the quietest of travéling costumes, who was evidently their guest. “You are Helen Adair?” “Ah, yes, and you are Mrs. Carberry?” | Sway oa bowls, even Aunt Selyy in a far- away corner, where shoute of wun laughter were smothered by shrubs.

I[t was a nasty, slow ball, breaking in, and Helen's off-stump went down with a crash. “What a splendid ball!” exclaimed the two men, and Helen clamored for more, “for practice.” The dean laughed riemphency. then Helen suddenly exclaimed: “Let's have a match, Uncle Jos, Church verseu State; I'm eure we could beat those two,’ and before the dean knew where he was they had tossed for going in, and he found himself bowling vigorously at Capt. Bilton, who, armed with a rake handle, was at the wickets. “It is very hot,” he gasped, and, looking round guiltily, he quickly flung his coat on the grass and flew to catch a ball which Capt. Elton had returned to him. Then he stood appalled, for the Bishop’s voice came to his ears, and, turning, he saw the Bish- op and his wife standing close behind him, “Cricket!” The Bishop's pale, intellectual face was full of laughter as he saw the dean, coatless and breathless, flying for the bal a thought this was strictly for- lord, come and umpire; we want called out Helen, quite una- bashed, and the dean, who had stood still, horror-stricken, picked up the ball again when he saw the lenient® expression on the episcopal faee, and saw the Bishop move in to umpire; while Mrs, Howard sat down on a bench and absolutely shook with mer- riment.

STOLE GROCERIES. Exciting Chase After a West End Young Tough. An immense hubbub was created at Twenty-ninth and Paston avenue yesterday afternoon at 8 o’clock by the frantic shouts of a driver for A. J. Quinlan, a grocer at Page avenue. The driver was delivering goods in the neighborhood, when a young tough stole a cracker box filled with miscellaneous gro- ceries and fled down Bell alley. Then the excitement began. The driver sprinted and yelled, and the adjacent homes began to belch forth children and women until the streets were filled. A patrolman finally captured the young thief, who gave his name as Thomas Quig- } he s\ rr ~ _ Served at the Annual Mesting of the Hartford Custard Pie Association. Unique among the organizations of New England is the Hartford Custard Pie Asso- Ciation, says a Hartford, Me., dispatch to the Boston Globe. The association started in rather a commonplace manner, One cold winter morning in 1860 William B. Cush- man and Charles Irish, neighboring farm- ers of this town, met after some preliminary bantering, during which each claimed to be able to eat the most custard pie, and appointed the following fast day for a cus- tard pie-eating contest, their wives to be cooks and judges. At the stated time they met with their wives and two huge custard pies at Mr. Irish’s sap house in his maple orchard and Mr. Cushman, who had spent the fore- noon in walking over the great hills as sort of training for the occasion, proved the better ple eater. The next fast day sevy- eral other farmers of the neighborhood with their families, joined them, and the meeting was changed from a ple-eating con- | test to a social gathering. eter this they met each fast day, and the story of the(fr ley, and the pair rode down to the Jeffer- | g00d times spread until almost all the farm.- son Avenue Station in Quinlan’s grocery | ers, with their families, for miles joined wagon. the association.

The Princess of Wales Revives an Old- Style Hat—Liberal Lead- ers Snubbed. VANITY LONDON, June 26.—After the jubilee fea- tivities there has been a deluge of grumbles, begun by the speculators, who, almost with- out exception, have lost money owing to their foolishness in demanding fortunes for seats. Then, the caterers did not find the crowd as hungry and thirsty as they con- sidered the people ought ts have been. The tradesmen found that the jubilee visitors could not buy to any great extent, as it took most all their savings to ree the show. There has also been considerable talk on the sub- ject of the jubilee honors. The men whose names have been left out of the list are no- tably Liberal politicians and former min- isters, who declare that the honors were given on the strictest party lines. With the exception of Sir William Vernon Har- court, no former Liberal minister was in- vited to be present at the ceremony before St, Paul’s Cathedral, and the members of the House of Commong who arrived too late at Buckingham Palace to be in fhe audience declare the Queen should have waited for them. The charitable societies women think that the Princess of Wales’ dinner to the poor was a kindly thought; but, they claim, it was a m‘staken idea, and that the roney-had better been given to the socie- ties dealing habitually with this work. An undertaker got ready 1,000 coffins and e temperance peo- le are wildly raving at beer being given to he outcast poor and there are thousands of complaints, based upon jealousy, that everybody could not get a front seat at a favored place and at every end. The Queen has already received a small museum of costly presents and many more are on their way to Her Majesty. What- ever form they take most of these gifts are studded with gems. The present of the Prince and Princess of Wales and their chil- dren is a large diamond brooch, with a jubilee inscription, and that of the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, Prince and Princess Christian of Schleswig-Hol- stein, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lorne, Princess Henry of Battenberg and the Duchess of Albany is a long chain of diamond links, also jubilee: inscribed. The Singalese sent an address in an ivory and gold casket, incrusted with gems, and all the chiefs of India are sending pres- ents, Americans were much in evidence at the jubilee procession. Mrs. Bradley Martin dressed in blue, was at the Bachelors Club; Mr. William Waldorf Astor, with a large party, was at Lord Normanton’s house, on Pall Mall; Lady William Beres- ford entertained a large luncheon party and Mrs. John W. Mackay received a few in- timate friends. Mrs. Benedick and a num- ber-of others, including Mrs. Ogden Goe- let, her daughter, and Mrs, Reynolds, was at the Clarence House. Mrs. Whitelaw Re!d, wife of the United States Speciai Envvey, gave a luncheon to a party after the pro- cession, as did Mrs. John Hay, wife of the United States Ambagsador. Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain went to all the functions. At St. Paul’s Cathedral she wore a very attractive costume of light green silk and Mrs. George N. Curzon was dressed in pale blue. Mrs. James N. Roose- velt, who, with Mr. Floward Kingscote, has taken the Warwick House, St. James, gave a large concert on Monday. The house was draped with white roses and orchids in American profusion. The Winnineg oarsmen who are to take part In the Henley regatta viewed the pro- Cession from the Cambridge enclosure and returned to Henley in time to take a spin over the course. ¥ They have taken quarters at the Manor farm, and are delighted with the hospital- ty shown them on all sides, The say the ritishers cannot do enough to make things pleasant for them. They rowed over the full course on Thursday for the first time, in good time and with plenty of power. Vanity Faitr’s cartoon for the current week is Col. John Hay, the United States Ambassador, who thus joins the gallery of the “most famous men of the day.” After a flattering notice of Col, Hay as a Journal- ist, poet, author, soldier and diplomat, Van- ity alr eoncludes: ‘He has a wife and a charming daughter who have immediately taken places in Ne don socjety. Altogether he is quite a cul- tured American, who can talk exceeding) well. He is a rather serious, ee red, polite gentleman, who speaks with a slight accent when warmed to the subject.” There is considerable comment at the Can. adian Premier, Wilfred Laurier, accepting a knighthood, after repeatedly declining the honor, and contrary to precedent in the case of Canadian premiers. The Prince of Wales has started a new type of hat, based on the mode of fluffy beaver, with broad curled brim, of many years ago.

Louis and Chicago to draw in the large operators, as they never fail to take advantage of the opportunity that such a epread offers them to make money. Yesterday there was a slight rally, but St. Louis {s still 3% cents below Chicago on July wheat, and is fully as much out of line with other markets. The corn market remains firm on ac- count of the light receipts, but speculation is very light, and the cash delivered is not urgent, nere is little option trading in oats, but the market is firm on account of the light receipts. The cash demand is fully up ‘ the supply, and offerings are readily taken at goo rices. . The looal flour market continues slow, although there is some domestic business in a small way, but as yet there is little export business doing. 7 The output of flour from the mills of St. Louis and vicinity for the week was 33,000 barrels, as compared with 32,300 barrels for the previous week, and 42,300 barrels for the corresponding week a year ago. the total stock of No. 2 red winter wheat in St. Louis public elevators is only about 5.000 bushels, and of this nearly the whele amount is in the Advance, elevator, which had such a pareow escape og being de- ‘troved by fire Friday morning. wos: ort y learances for the week were heavier than was expected, being nearly as heavy as last week, and fully up to the average for this time of the year. The decrease in the visible supply wa large and the amount of wheat afloat is de- creasing rapidly, =. ss visible yrobably the smaliest on ord. ianee otis reports a better demand for flour, and the export trade shows some im- rovement, but local millers com lain that buyers are holding off, awaiting the advent the new crop. ; Othe reports ae damage to the wheat crop by wind and hail storms are coming in very rapidly and from all directions, and although the reported damage in each case is over a limited area, these reports are be- coming so frequent that they must soon begin to have an effect on the marke. he increased use of wheat flour by the better classes in Japan and China is be- ginning to attract attention and promise to provide a market for a large amount of Northwestern wheat, and the fact that In- dia and Argentine cannot be relied upon fcr any wheat this year will also be felt when Europe begins to replenish her stocks. The growing danger of a religious war in India is now causing some apprehension, and the Greco-Turkish trouble may prove a smouldering volcano, Viewing the situation from every stand- point, it looks as if all of the options are cheap at present prices, more especially as Chicago has dropped from its contract rades No. 2 spring wheat, which hereto- ore has constituted the bulk of its specu- lativé stocks, and will eoagequently become a more active bidder against St. Louis for No. 2 red winter wheat to supply its spec- ulative and epot demand. The advices in regard to the new crop are on the whole satisfactory, and the yield will be much larger than was expected earlier in the season, although the European crop will undoubtedly be below the average. In this country the indications are that we will have nearly, if not quite, an average crop of winter wheat, and according to the acreage and the present conditions, the wheat otep should be more than average, but the plant is just entering its critical stage, and it is impossible to foretell the outcome. According to the official crop bulletin of the Province of Manitoba the total wheat acreage of that province this year is 1,290,882 acres, the largest on record. The acreage in 1896 was 999,598 acres; in 1895 it was 1,140,- 276 acres, and in 1894 it was 1,010,186 acres. As there are, according to the census of the province,only 27,000 farmers in Manitoba, this would mean a fraction over 44 acres as the average amount of land devoted to wheat by cach farmer. The weather is favorable for the crops, and conditions are very satisfactory. The total area of all grain crops in the province is 1,950,000 acres as compared with 999,598 acres last year. Although the statistical conditions during the present crop season have shown a re- markable resemblance to those existing in 1891, a wide difference in prices is beginning to be apparent, owing to the present stag- nation 4 the grain trade. June 26, 1891, cash No. 2 red wheat sold at 97%2c on call, while yesterday the best bid obtainable was 7 cents. Cash wheat sold at from 89 down to 87% cents July 1, 1891, and by July *20 had de- clined to 82% cents, whiclf was the lowest oint it reached, It rallied and by Aug. 156 t had sold up to $1.08, and was not lower than 91% cents during the balance of the year. The Executive Committee on Grain In- spection of the Merchants’ Exchange, con- sisting of Chris Sharp, Daniel Smith, C. H. Teichmann and President Langenberg, will meet with the Boards of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners of Illinois and Missouri at the Southern Hotel Monday morning at 11 o'clock, to devise plans for securing a uniform standard of grain in- spection in Illinois and Missouri. The new grain inspection law of Illinois goes into effect July 1, when the control of the grain inspection at East St. Louis will pass from the St. Louis Merchants’ Ex- change to the Illinois Railroad and Ware- house Commissioners, and it is to obviate the danger of complications which might arise when the new officials take hold that this meeting is to be held.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June %.—The Post says: On general principles to-day’s stock market might have naturally declined. During the greater part of the week the speculative position has been so far reversed that stronger interests, the bulwark of this month’s earlier market have been taking profits heavily. Yesterday’s 300,000 share inarket, the largest up to date this year, plainly reflected such a movement. Mean- time the professional contingent, which op- posed ‘the rise up to the close of last week has been a continuous buyer. If there were no other factors in the situation a week of such operations would mean a market ripe for a decline. Such a view of the market is emphasized by another fact, which specu- lators and investors equally ought to keep in mind, the fact that during three weeks past not one distinctly unfavorable piece of news has been received. It might have happened any day; it may happen hereafter. Ordinarily, is well- known possibility would inspire caution, yet to-day the market forged ahead again and closed with a demonstration of strength equal to any day this week. It is not the outside public-in the old-time sense which has provided this demand, but the mass of business men and small investors under whose purchases bull movements usually culminate. Thus far, undoubtedly, the pro- pelling force has been the buying for heavy outside speculators and for institutions. The institutions have bought heavily, many have sold their government bonds, purchased during these three last years, to me their funds into more remunerative railway is- sues. But while such corporations have been buying bonds and first rate dividend paying stocks, they have certainly done nothing in the minor speculative issues, and yet these isues have been rising with the general market value. This created an in- terest in- the situation in which London is once more a contingent factor. Most of the buying under which the Granger stocks especially ran up another point to-day came from the West. Chicago ordinarily is an active factor in the move- ment of these etocks. Until recently ad- vices from interior centers have made it lain that Chicago was the one blue spot n all the situation. This week, however, predictions of a coming increase in the Granger dividends, which were, it is true, made contingent only on increasing earn- ings, have had decided influence. Presum- ably the action of the wheat market, which rose another 1%o to-day, making 5c gain for the week, has done its part in altering sentiment. To-day the St. Paul earnings for May were published, and no doubt added the final touch. To-day’s mar- ket closed with a burst of rising prices in these stocks, Rock Island scoring the heaviest net advance. Outside the Grang- ers the list was irregular, but strong, and closed without reaction. Perhaps the most noteworthy news of the day was a decrease of nearly a million dollars in New York's merchandise imports for the week. This week’s returns are about the average of the months before the “retroactive tarift’’ scare, - ANOTHER VIEW. What the Commercial Advertiser Has to Say About It. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 2.—The Commercial Advertiser says: There is need to rehearse once more the favorable features in the situation, for we have recounted them week by week in the iast month. All that need be said is that the factors making for better times are still in existence and grow!ng in importance. Speculation in securities generally has been brisk, but on nothing like a dangerous scale and no One can say that the street has so far shown anything beyond con- servatism in its operations, The universal expectation of a reaction shows that people have not as yet broken away from the traditions of the last few years. The trouble about reactions is that they come mainly when most do not ex, pect them, Advices from London make it entirely clear that in spite of the warning of ‘“‘The Statist’ against American securities, a}l- ways exeepting Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf first 5s, people are watching us closely and are struggling with a strong tempta- tion to buy our securities. The old fever which at times made London practically master of the situation in our market seems to be gradually infecting speculators ana even investors, Ag we have said several times these are days of opportunity for the investor and the speculator who does not throw cau- tion altogether to the winds. There will be no doubt a good many resting places for the market on its progress to higher prices, but the man who pays for his purchases need never trouble himself about anything except the main tendency. There is no doubt that the general trend of values is still upward and that it will take some re.- faa developments to change this ten- “ae Western Stock Quotations.

Following an investigation of charges by Lewis Harris, a Federal prisoner, that he had been beaten out of $12 by Rollins & Dalton, a firm of Four Courts lawyers, Judge Adams of the United States District Court yesterday issued an order restraining all lawyers not practicing in his court from interviewing Federal prisoners, Both Mr. Rollins and Dalton were in court yesterday to explain the transaction, Mr. Rollins is not a member of the Federal Harris said that after his arrest in Poplar Bluffs, for passing counterfeit money, the two lawyers were recommended to him by a cellmate. They agreed to take his case for $100, Harris paid $12 on account, and instructed to the charge. They were cut to $76, then to $0. Still the brother thought they were too steep, and refused to employ the at- torneys. Then the incarcerated Harris asked for his money. Mr. Rollins told the court he had given $6 of the $12 to his partner, and that he con. sidered his services worth that amount. Judge Adams sharply ordered him to re- turn the money to Harris, and said if it were not done within six hours he would resort to extreme measures. IS A VICTIM OF ABOULIA.

The Wonderful Deaf and Dumb Girl to Pass Examination for Rad- cliffe College. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 2%.—Next Tuesday, when RatcHffe College entrance examinations begin; Helen Kellar, the deaf mute, will offer herself for nine hours’ work. All this year she has been an earn- est student at Gillman’s Cambridge School, where she entered last fall, accompanied by her constant companion, Miss Sullivan, with the intention of preparing for Ratcliffe. Though the school had already had a mute as a pupil, that one had enjoyed the tre- mendous advantage of sight. Helen Kellar came to the Cambridge School, She had not been there long before the director realized that fitting her for col- lege did not present insuperable difficulties. After careful thought he saw his way clear to everything except the entrance examina- tion {In éxperimental physics. Prof. Graham Bell assured him that a way would be found, and now, indeed, he thinks that by substituting the alternate text book phys- ics and elementary astronomy for the ex- periments, Miss Kellar’s preparation may be compassed. For studying astronomy she has been provided with a planitarium, upon which she can feel the position of the heavenly bodies. Marvelous are the powers of this young girl, who will celebrate her 17th birthday to-morrow. With German, French, Latin and history she is already familiar, and her Pnglish compositions are clearly and forci- bly written. Her appreciation of everything brought to her attention is wonderfully keen and she has the most indomitable en- thusiasm for study. In the fall she will begin the study of Greek, the text books for which are being prepared for her use. The examinations of next week will be read to her by Mr. Gill- man and she will write the answers upon the typewriter, in the use of which she I!s an expert. These will be the preliminary ex- aminations. For the final she will probably wait a number of years, since all her edu- cation is to be conducted slowly. Her du- ties do not In the least impair her health, and Miss Kellar to-day ts a fine specimen of a well developed young woman, SUNDAY MIXTURE. Cairo Dancers and Salvation Army Women at Coney Island.

MUSIC TEACHERS TO MEET. Steps Will Be Taken to Insure Recog- nition of American Performers Without Foreign Diplomas. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. WEW YORK, June 24.—In a few days the world-famous Stewart collection of paint- ings and water colors will be thrown open for public view in this city preliminary to a sale in the fall. These canvases have been one of the sights of Paris for a long time, as they consist of more than 100 mas- terpieces by French and Spanish artists. A delightful feature, and ome that lends a kind of enchantment to them, is the fact that they are largely the works of now famous artists, done when they were ob- scure and in most instances in poverty. All .bear eviderice of great genius. The collection of these pictures was a hobby of the late William H. Stewart of Paris, He was at one time a merchant in the West Indies, where he accumulated a large fortune. He moved to Paris, and there became a patron of art. It was his practice to seek out struggling artists who were really talented, and bring them before the public. He would commence by himself baying the products of a protege’s genius an then recommend him to his friends. Being himself a connoisseur, his recommendation was of great value, and many a painter who has become famous owes his career to ine patronage of Mr. Stewart, The collection consists mainly of paintings by artists whom Mr. Stewart thus took under his protection. There are nineteen canvases by Fortuny, all rated as master- pieces, The most famous is “The Choice of the Model,” which has been declared by competent critics to be one of the most per- fect pieces of genrd painting and brilliant coloring produced during the latter half of this century. Withal it is ny @ a small painting, meas- pring about two by three feet, but rumor has it:that fabulous sums have been offered for it and refused by its late owner. 8. P. hg f the retired dealer in paintings, is said to have offered a large sum for it, but he denied this, and said that he knew very well Mr. Stewart would not part with it at any price. Other celebrated paintings in the collec- tion by Fortuny are “The ‘Courtyard. in Grenada,” “The Amateur,” “‘Academicians of St. Luke,” and “The Court of Justice.” Besides these are a number of fine water colors he painted. Another gem in the collection is the fa- mous “‘Pearl,”’ a painting by Paul Baudry, who decorated the French Opera House. His paintings are few and consequently very rare in this country. Baudry was also a personal friend of Mr. Stewart, and re- ceived many favors at his hands. There are several other specimens of his work in the collection, which are considered quite valuable. Madrazo, the celebrated Spanish painter, and the master of Jules Stewart, Mr. Stew- art’s son, who is also a good artist, is Well represented. His ‘‘Sortie du Bal,”" enjoys a world-wide reputation, and {fs considered one of the best productions of the modern Spanish school. There are many other paintings by Span- ish artists, notably nine excellent specimens of Rico’s work and several by Zamacois, The modern French school of artists has contributed some fine examples to the col- lection, while the Barbizon school is repre- fented by some exquisite productions of Rousseau, Diaz, Corot, Daubigny and Du- pre. There are also several Meissoniers, among them “The®Duel,’’ and a portrait of Bonnat, which are expected to fetch good prices. Of the French school, the best known artists represented are Gerome, Vollon and Stevens. Several paintings of the English and German schools are contained in the collection, while of the Italian, nine valua- ble Boldinis form a prominent feature. What the collection is worth is a matter of conjecture. It has been estimated at various figures, ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, but, as Is usual in such cases, the value, it is thought, has been greatly ex- aggerated. At all events, it is promised the sale of this collection will make an era in the history of picture sales in this city. Artists and lovers of art for art’s sake have been much interestéd in the crusade against the Bacchante and Pan which “broke out” with amazing fury in this city recently. It was only equaled by the lone the Park Board over the placing of the Heine statue in Central Park. The Heine statue was refused a place, much to the disgust of the Germans, as has been. the Pan, and bitter protests have been filed by several societies which presume to direet our morals along the lines of their narrowness, because the Art Museum has decided to place the bronge “lady and her a ’? ese overgood persons are found in every community. In Bosten they drove the Bacchante away and the New York specie wants to do the same thing. They were actuated from dir- ferent motives, seemingly, however. The etatue was too inartistic for Massachu- setts, but here only the subject is con. demned. It is delightful to be able to state that the Museum directors are a little broader than the goody-goods and that the Bacchante will soon be on exhibition. The statue of Pan peemery was not en- titled to a place in Central Park. At best it is a hideous sight, and when the work is bad, then, indeed, is it repulsive. A very capable society of citizens of an artistic turn lends its good assistance to the Park Board in the accepting and placing of works f art, and it has little concern for any- thing except the artistic: It is not com- posed of the goody-goods, The National Music Teachers’ Association began its session here to-day, bringing to- gether some of the finest performers in the country. This organization has been of in- commana value to music teachers, as well as to the cause of music, and its present session promises to be of very great inter- est. An extensive programme has deen repared., wit te robabie that the association will hold a delightfully harmonious session, as few questions of professional courtesy or policy have aris@n recently. If music teach- ers are ilike so many other musicians, a mer- ry wrangle would be more in keeping, as nye enge | between musicians is even more itter than between physicians. This National Association was organizd primarily for mutual advancement of the teachers, and has been the means of bring- ing to the front mone brilliant performers who would otherwise have continued in ob- scurity. It tends towards the upbuillding of an American school of teaching which in time will make deep impress upon Ameri- cans, and will minimize the necessity of American men and women skurrying over to Berlin for a diploma before they can seek at home. ee art instance of this lamentable national weakness can be found in the expe- f Miss Susan Monarch, a woOfder- fully endowed Kentucky woman, whose re- cent recitals in Cincinnati! attracted the at- tention of both the Gaily press and music re- views. She is quite young, and though she escaped the misfortune of being considered a musical prodigy, she has been a musician since childhood, having successfully filled the post of organist (pipe organ) in a large Catholic church when only 138 years old. Since then she has had the best advantages obtainable in_this country, and is rightly Prof. Bohlmann as one of the r- former, not because of her ability solely, a because of her diploma. ise Monarch spoon ey was In corres a. oo with the Mother Superior at St. Mary’ vent, St. Louis, at h vent web considering the ides of baviag as 6 fight last year between German citizens and’ | music teacher from outside the order, and may become a St. Louisan at a future date. A semi-pathetic and wholly emusin test has been issued by the Private ch- men's Association. It in the mature of an appeal to ir fellow workers-to organize to demand their rights, which in the present Case consist of the right to wear an un- shaven face. On its face this protest is most laughabl but it becomes less a matter of merrimen when the plaintive introduction is read as therein the coachmen declare that only “coachmen, waiters and convicts” are re- fused the right to be independent. The S test does not contemplate a strike like last winter, when so many of the more fortunate of life were compelled to rely on “Shanks” mare, but certainly whiskers is the burning question in coachman’s society to-day. A story comes from London that a former American concert hall singer is soon_ to contribute to the nobility of England, She igs May Yohe, once the wife of Jack Mason, the actor, but now the wife of Lord Francis Hope. If the youngster be a boy he may some day become the Duke of Newcastle. The present Duke is a dwarf; some say he is the image of Marshall P. Wilder of this city. He has no children. His brother is the Lord Francis, who is next in line of suc- cession, The periodical rumors of additions to th household of other American members 0 the Enelish nobility have quieted remarka- bly, and for several weeks no little Marl- boroughs have been talked about. Such sub- jects are wonderfully popular for goestpers, whether in the nobility or over the back fence on Cherry Hill or any old place, and New York is very gossipy when the nobil- ity is tnvolved. Descendants of native born members of European nobility have a harder time in New Vork than do the New York girls who have married into the European houses. One such is especially the Hon. Mary Har- riet Geraldine Drummond, granddaughter of the Earl of Perth and Melfort. She lost her job in a Brooklyn ice cream factory recently, but she is" hustling for an- other and refuses to be worried about the distinguished ‘descent that plaees her high among the notabilities in Burke’s Peerage. Another unfortunate in Brooklyn is Gra- ham of sk, whose titles are so many but whose cash ts nil. He is a glazer. A French Count, who is chambermaid in an uptown apartment house, advertises his title for sale. He only wants $100,000 for it, and advances the delightful argument that as France is out of the title making businese there is a premium on its old titles. He promises to ‘‘make up” no moré beds if his title is taken, which promise has aroused the tenants to assist him in its dis- osal, w There is a former New Yorker selling pa- ers on the streets of Boston who bought a rench title several years ago which can be had for a song. It is about all the poor devil has and,he finds it brings in mighty little revenue. his man once contracted with a cafe here to serve him and his wife three meals a day every day in the year for $10,000. The contract ran five years, They had the privilege of ordering at any time any or all of the dishes that Were on the regular bill of fare, and to have served with them such wines as eney might select. When this curious contract became known every one said that the man who ran the restaurant knew his business. The titled Frenchman and his wife, however, de- veloped wonderful appetites. Pools were made as to whether the Frenchman or the restaurant keeper would be the winner at the end of the year. The result Was never definitely knOwn, however, but the French nobleman was quoted as saying he spent $45,000 in five years in that cafe. New York appears to be more economical about one kind of entertainment than is London. Few of the social functions of the same kind here are as elaborate as -the musicales given in London. The most ex- pensive artists are engaged, and not only one byt a number are employed in a single afternoon. At one house last week Calve, Eames, Plancon, Van Dyck, Hollman, and Wollf appeared, and Melba and Paderewsk!i have already been the entertainers at several houses. The New York musicale that boasted the services of one of these ly formers would be regarded as very fine. Such groups are never heard together here outside of a performance in the Metropoli- tan. Jean de Reszke has sung In several paces, but it was as a guest and not as a pald artist that he lent his gervices, and he has fre- quently sung at Lady de Gray’s, It was gaid in one of the London newspapers that Jean de Reszke had broken faith with the ublic, and failed to appear at the opera ut continued to sing In private, and tha charge brought out an emphatic letter from the tenor denying that he had heen ina condition to sing anywhere. Thereupon the newspapers apologized. Thad Ancient American Institute of New York is in its seventieth year rejuvenat- ing, and is preparing for a big exposition, which will open Sept. 2, at Madison Square Garden, and run six weeks. The exposition will include inventions and exhibitions of machinery from every State in the Union. Features will be a show of grocers’ spe- clalties, an art department for the works of American artists only, grand concerts, a big exhibit of grains, fruits and vegetables and a flower show which will exceed in cost an extent anything yet presented in New Tork. Mr. Allen 8. Williams, once of St. Louis, Chief of the Press Department, will be sent as a commissioner to the Tennessee Cen- tennial Exposition at Nashville, Tenn., and to visit established expositions of annual recurrence or thelr managers in other American cities. The plan and scope of the 1897 a and its successors are to be na- tional, Much interest is taken by physicians here in the surprising transformation of a ‘‘black and tan” negro into a white man. Soon it will be improper to say ‘All coons look alike to me.”’ The negro was of the shiny black variety, but now !{s spotted, and these spots are both intreasing in size and becoming whiter. This transformation is not entirely un- known to science, but the case in question presents more than ordinary interesting phases. For two years the spots have been growing. First they were on the hands, then they appeared on the body, and now the face and neck have been attacked. It is predicted that within a year and a half the man will be more white than black. The negro attributes the changing of his skin to fright. He was happy and black until one day two Government inspectors swooped down on his cigar house and found him 1,600 cigars shy. They were later found, but the scare was terrific, and in- stead of his hair turning gray, as is com- mon to whites under like circumstances, his skin became spotted. Since then every time he is frightened his spots become very white. The American age Society wants to sel) its building, now only 60 years old, It is of the old style, with large rooms and broad halls, and is a fit comparison to Cooper Union, just across the street. When completed, in 1852, it and the ground represented an outlay of $300,000. Since then it has not only been used as headquarters for the great Bible Society, but a handsom income has been derived from rooms an desk space, income would be a satisfactory result on the investment, but the Bible Society has been more fortunate. as the ground alone is to- day worth $1,500,000, or Just 73 per cent net, In recent years some of the offices have been turned into estudios and rented to artists. The best known costume designer of his time had a estudio there, and as all of his patrons were theatrical people it fre- quently happened that there were curious combinations brought about by chance in the hall on which his studio was situated. Most of the men seen in the halls of the old Bible House are clerical itn their ap- earance. and occasionally half a dozen of thet would be seen coming out in company with a group of chorus girls or comic opera singers who had been inspecting the cos- tume plates for a new production. The clerical-looking men usually looked askance at the highly colored women, who returned their glances with curiosity. BIG FIRE IN UTICA. Unlucky Number Thirteen Figures in This Confiagration.

My impression is the child was dropped over- board, and the truth would have leaked out if the men had lived. The two were both killed at Bay Ridge shortly afterwards. Mrs. Mosher could have had no motive for the concealment if she had known where he was, as she had a big reward to gain and nothing to lose.’’ (Signed.) R. J. LINDEN, Supt. of Police. The recent death in Philadelphia of Chris- tian K. Ross has revived interest in the greatest kidnapping case of the century. He was the father of poser Ross, whe was stolen by two men from his home in Ger- mantown, near Philadelphia, on the after- noon of July 1, 1874. The men had secured the confidence of the child and his older brother by giving them candy and finally induced them to go for a ride. The older boy was sent in to a store about eight miles from home to buy some firecrackers. When ‘he came out the wagon, the two men and his brother had disappeared. From that hour all definite trace of Charley Ross was lost. Within a few days the father of the missing boy received a letter which alleged to come from the kidnappers of- fering to return the child for §20 letter was followed by various gt : Ross kept in communication with the writer through personals inserted in a Philadelphia aper. he letters finally became threaten- ng, and the declaration was made that the A would be killed unless the money was paid. The entire country became aroused and a committee of prominent citizens in Phila- delphia assumed charge of the negotiations toward securing the return of the child. The kidnappers wanted §20,000. Mr. Ross agreed to pay this, but no eatisfactory ar- rangments regarding the transfer of the money and child could be reached. Mr. Ross refused to pay the money except after he had seen the child, while the writer of the letters said he feared trickery and would not return the child until the Money was paid. These negotiations continued for four months and were then broken off for some weeks. On the night of Dec. 14, 1874, two men at- tempted to rob the house of Judge Van prunt at Bay Ridge, Long Island, and were illed, but one of them lived for twd hours, and during that time said that he and the other robber had abducted Charley Ross, but that the other man was the only per- s0n who knew his whereabouts. The dead burglar was named Mosher, the one that made the confession was named Douglass. Mr. Ross spent his fortune in running down rumors and in traveling to see boys be- lieved to be his missing son. R. J. Linden was the superintendent of the Philadelphia branch of the Pinkerton Detective Agency at the time Charley Ross was kidnapped, and for several years there- after. In that capacity he was interested officially in the search for the stolen boy, and he became familiar with the details of the affair.

He found demijohn containing ten gallons of whis- y, six tubs containing hobs mash, a 4#.- allon boiler and converter. The remains of urned candles on the floor indicated the men worked at night.

The cost of each building will be about $100,000 and the architects éxpect to produce a harmonious exposition city that will be a credit to the great West and the country at large. President McKinley has signed the bill appropriating $200,- 000 for the Government bulldings and ex. hibits and all goods from foreign countries intended for exposition purposes will be ad- mitted free of duty. | ° The State Department has prepared a let- ter to American representatives acredited to foreign countries which will soon be transmitted through official channels. This letter is much more exhaustive than any heretofore issued by the department since the Exposition at Paris. President Wattles of the exposition has issued formal] invita- tions to the rulers of foreign nations to par- ticipate in the exposition. This letter will be transmitted by the State Department to the Ambassadors and Consuls representing this country throughout the world. The letter of invitation to foreign rulers is gen- eral in character, setting forth the vastness of-the area covered by the Transmissis- sippi section, population, estimated annual product and natural resources of the terri- tory west of the Mississippi River. The capital stock of the Exposition is $1,000,000. Nearly $500,000 in capital stock has been subscribed, The Exposition grounds cover ample area, about 200 acres. Sttuated within the city limits, the site is accessible by means of three trolley lines and two steam railways. The run from the city is made in ten min- utes. Active work of preparation of the grounds is in progress. The territory embraced by the States and territories west of the Mississippi means a population of 16,000,000 and the material wealth is almost beyond computation, Ne- braska and States touching its borders, from which the Exposition will draw the largest number of people, have an aggre- gate population of 9,000,000. _ENDEAVORERS AT MOBERLY.

It is the business of the ticket sorter to see how many of these tickets have been collected and to mark the report of the agent to 6 printing of anything ) show those that have not been turned in. Whenever these missing tickets do come in the report of the agent for the month in which they were sold ig resurrected from some dusty bo and the missing ticket checked as “‘in.”’ It is Surprises how many tickets are belated and how many never come in. Frequently persons buy tickets that are limited and cannot use them until the limit has expired, when they throw them away. In other cases a ticket may not ow up for a month or two, when it is un- imited. Coupon tickets require much more careful handling than local tickets, and the men who keep the hooks on them receive better salaries than the local ticket sorters. All coupon tickets are turned over to them from ‘the train collections and by tfiem carefully assorted as to roads of issue. Ba@oh ticket or coupon is then care- fully recorded in a book so that its his- tory can be traced from its start to its des- tination. At the end of each month a state- ment is rendered to all interested lines by the road that issues the tickets, of all sales over their lines. In this way a kind of cleéear- ing-house arrangement is kept up and the debtor road makes remittance to the credil- ton road after deducting offsetting accounts. Ane then comes the end of the railroad ticket’s life. As soon as all reports have been checked up and a careful division of earnings, that is the apportionment to the various divisions of the earnings, has been made, the tickets are filed away for future reference. It is absolutely necessary at the ticketg should be kept on hand for a long time—not less than twelve months, for sometimes a law suit is dependent on the ticket on which some passenger may have ridden. After twelve or fourteen months’ wait the tickets meet with their fiery fate. They are taken out of tthe filing cases care- fully, and under the inspection of a re- sponsible man are burned. The extreme care that is exercised in Checking up the reports of agents and con- ductors is what makes the system of rall- road accounts so complicated. So systemati- cally has this work been arranged, how- ever, that mistakes are few and the books balance at the end of the month to a cent. ROBERT E. LER PRESIDENT CLARK’S PLANS. What He Says About the Union Pacific Road. President 8 H. H. Clark of the Union Pacific gaid yesterday he could only see ob- struction in Senator Harris’ resolution in regard to the road. It was, he said, in op- firtoren to any sensible plan of settling the ifferences between the United States and he Union Pacific. Jie means that the Government shall pay off the first mortgage holders in the Pa- cific railway, then foreclose on its own sec- 0G AGE TRAGA, take possession and run the road, “Senator Morgan’s amendment,” said he, “T take to mean not so much a real meas- ure of obstruction as it Is a hot shot at Cleveland’s administration, He wants the proceedings ordered by Clevéland to fore- close stopped until further orders of Con- gress, “There will never be a better plan of set- tling up the Pacific railway difference with the Government than that suggested in the pee of reorganization, now before Congress. t ie just, it is equitable and, what is of some consequence, it would be a settlement that would settle. The country is tired of he controversy. The people realize that the overnment has an equity, but they ada- mit that it hag been paid, in a general way, the form of benefits, ten times the amount of that equity.

THE LITTLE ONES NEED MORE CARE DOCTORS DISCUSS MORTALITY AMONG BABIES. NIGHT AIR BAD FOR THEM. Physicians Ascribe Much of the High Death Rate to the Negligence of Parents. “If parents would take care of their in- fants in hot weather,” said Dr. Sutter of the City Hospital, “there would be no such rec- ord as there is. I have noticed that out of 208 deaths in the last week more than half were of babes. I hardly know what to say about it.’’ Dr. Gutter says that he has only to do with such patients as come to him. He knows nothing of the poor and their environment, but he thinks that much of the évil which surrounds them could be relieved. “Chéidren,” gaid he, “are hard to man- age. This record speaks of 6-year-olds only, but I think I can say that 10 or 20 per cent of the death rate in infantile life should be added to the record of 6-year-olds. They run from 6 to 10, and the cause of sickness in their case ts the free and unrestricted license they have on the streets. “It has often been said that St. Louis children in certain blocks are the worst in the world. They grow in thestreets. They disobey their parents; they are unmindful of anybody’s rights; they swarm over grass plots; they insult neighbors who mildly chide, and finally, they run away and hide tt sod eg police who seek to teach them “So far as infants are concerned,” sald Dr. Reeder of the $45 Monge sane and hospital, we all know what the death rate means when the victimg are among the poor. I have seen enough in the last week to make a strohg man quail. The little ones lie in their wan mothers’ laps, sitting and pant- ing, and fretting.What are you going to do? Ice in the poor districts would be boon. Free water would help but that would mean unfairness. But ice, fruit and absolute cleanliness in the alleys would mean s0 much,”’ Dr. Walter B. Yost, vice-president of the Virginia Society, says the record of deaths last week is startling, in its comparison of ages. “The percentage of infants,” gaid Dr. Yost, “is dreadful but it fs hardly mors than can be expected under present con- ditions. There is a variet of causes. Parents of children under 6, do not take care of themselves, and parents of those over that a do not take care of their children. n I hear of a youngster dy- ing before 10, I feel that his parents have neglected him. They let him per on the streets from early morn till 10 o’clock at night. That’ boy or girl becomes a street rat. Children of Jesser age—infants, are in the game way exposed to bad influences. Methers take their babies out in the night air. They eit on the steps and talk to therr neighbors and they keep the baby out, be- cause it coos 80 prectiy and falls asleep. apiisnt air is like a upas tree in its ef- fect on infant life. It is the deadliest poison for young children.’’ Dr, Deatherage, who has had a great deal of: experience with children on that ortion of Bayard avenue which abuts on he Suburban tracks, says he does not be- lieve that heat ‘has much to do with mortal. ty among babies. He thinks tho worry of mothers over older children is likely to send younger ones to their graves, Dr. Deatherage lives in a neighborhod where the children from 4 to 10 roam the streets at all hours. He, too, says, that the infant death rate in summer can be at- tributed to the habit certain people have of letting their small children roam the etreets, play in the onpece and annoy thelr neighbors often until 10 o’clock at night. “The night air is what catches them,” said Dr. Deatherage. Mortality Report. The total number of deaths last week was 208, a decrease of 17 as compared to the week before and of 97 as compared to the same week last year. Of these 107 or three more than half, were children under the age of 6, and 83 were under 1 year. There were 25 deaths from diarrheal diseases, 17 from consumption and 27 from enteritis and similar complaints. Fifty-three died in public institutions and 23 inquests were held. There were 211 births reported. The report of Chief Sanitary Officer Fran. cis for the week shows there were ten cases of diphtheria and one death; one case of ores) ten cases Of scarlatina and one death; six cases of typhold fever and one death; six cases of measles and four cases of whooping cough and one death.

Mil- ler’s establishment just at this season of the year is one of the most comfortable and coolest in the city, and during the hot hours of the summer days it is the Mecca of the ladies who are down town shopping, be- cause of the fact that Miller’s Magnificent Soda Fountain dispenses the most delicious beverages known to the caterer’s art. Got Enough of the Rum Business. Thompson B, Graham applied in the Cir- cuit Court yesterday for a receiver to take charge of the saloon of Reber & Graham at 807 Pine street. In his petition Graham states that in the partnership he formed with Reber on June 15 it was agreed that Reber was to run the gin mill and Graham was not to be known in connection with the place. He says Reber mismaneged tho business, drank foo ®Muoh and handied the receipts carelessly. The Same Old Story, Paying $15.00 for suits the Globe, Seventh and Franklin avenue, selling for $7.4.

Well-Known Character Who Volun- teered to Cut the Rope That Avenged C, Arthur Preller. Mike Fortin, ex-Deputy Sheriff, the man who hanged Maxwell, died at 6:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon at the Alxeian Broth- ers’ Hospital. He was surrounded by his family and a number of his friends when the end came, but for many hours he had been unconscious, unable to recognize any one or to move his paralyzed limbs. Early yesterday morning he was seized with a stroke of paralysis, and it was plain to the attendant physicians that his end was near, When his* wife and family ar- rived he was very low, but it was evident that there lingered some consciousness, as he made feeble and fruitless efforts to smile when his wife spoke to him. He was un- able to speak or to make himself under- stood. Occasionally he would move slightly as if to indicate that he «sas trying to answer questions. He passed peacefully away’ without any indication of suffering. The cause of his death is diagnosed as cere bral softening. Mike Fortin was a well-known character about the Four Courts for many years. Personally he was a gruff, but good-nat- ured man, with a deep bass voice, which sounded very formidable to those who did not know the kindly nature of the big Dep- uty Sheriff. He ran a saloon at Clayton dur- ing the last few years of his life. He was enticed to the Alexian Brothers’ Hospital on June 6 by a ruse, the nature of which showed the character of his aberra- tion. His brother-in-law, Leon doe Lisle of Florissant, told him there was a fine build- ing in town for sale cheap. He imagined himself a millionaire and had been placing fabulous orders in the St. Louig stores, the goods to be paid for when delivered. He jumped into the trap at onca “I'l go to town with you, Leon,” he said, “and ne that a. From a violent- maniac Fortin quieted down. He entered the hospital doors with the idea that he was going to buy the place, and each day he spent there he was cheerful and talked of his business affairs in the most matter of fact way. Friday his wife appliéa to Probate Judgg Wolff of Clayton for a guardian for the un- fortunate man and a special jury to inquire into his sanity. The jury was to have held its investigation next Tuesday. Fortin was best known in, St. Louis as ‘the man who hanged Maxwe!ll.’”’ Indeed, it is said that it was because Fortin was so well known as the executioner of the no- torious murderer that he brooded over his fame, and thus brought on the meloncholla that at last gave way to violent insanity. He used to comment on the fact that he was pointed out on the street as Maxwell’s hang- man, and he gradually came to believe that he was being persecuted by Maxwell's friends. , As an instance of the strong impression the execution and the details of the murder which led to it left upon Fortin’s mind, it mar be told that the first queer actions noticed by Fortin’s friends were about five weeks ago. He owned a saloon in Clayton, and one -_ the saloon floor was s80 sprinkled with small slips of paper it at- tracted attention. The slips were gathered up and written thereon, in Fortin’s hand, were the words: “So perish all traitors to the great cause.”’ This sentence was written on a pi of paper and was found pinned on the body of reller, Maxwell's victim, in the Southern Hotel, on April 6,. 1885. Mike Fortin’s services as hangman were volunteered, He had been appointed a depu- ty jailer by John Belleville, who is now Mayor of Florissant, in 1884. In those days Fortin was a bluff, big-hearted and good- natured fellow who had lust a small'fortune in the uncertainties of politics. He was a Democrat of the staunchest variety, and he prospered until he tried politics. Fortin was orn in Florissant, and his father was wealthy. When he died he left Mike one of the finest farms in St. Ferdinand Township. Mike was popular, and his appointment as deputy jailer vil eee indorsed. When Walter . Lenox Maxwell was brought into the jail Fortin at once took a deep interest in the case, and seemed strangely fascinated with the mild-appear- ing English murderer. At first Fortfn de- clared his belief in Maxwell's innocence, and spent much-time in the prisoner’s cell. Maxwell was fond of music and Fortin was clever with the violin, and he used to play by the hour to the murderer. As the evidence in the trial was gradually brought out Fortin changed his views, and when he was convinced that Maxwell was guilty he felt so outraged he begged for permission to spring the trap in the event of a death sentence, It was no part of For- tin’s duties to have em een to do with an execution. The hangman in those days was Bob Humphreys, who is now dead. But Fortin insisted to such an extent he was given permission to hang Maxwell if only to be rid of his importunities and requests. Fortin did not cease playing for the con- demned man with is switch of belief as to his innocence, The night before the hang- ing Fortin sat In Maxwell’s cell and fiddled as happily as if he were playing at a dance. Those who saw the execution say Fortin was eager for the word to be given to drop the trap. When the elgnal came Fortin sprang forward and with a ye ge stroke severed the rope that supported the heavy door in the scaffold floor. Directly after the hanging Fortin was a changed man in a respect. He declined a reappointment to office when his term ex- pired, and removed to Florissant. Later he went to Clayton and opened a saloon. He frequently talked of the Maxwell case and his argument was bitter with any one who set up a plea of innocence for the English- man. The first real outbreak on Fortin’s part was the Thursday before he was brought into this city for treatment. He suddenly an- nounced that he was immensely wealthy, and he came straight into the city. He ordered an $800 laundau from the James A. Wricht & Sons’ Carriage Co., and saying he was Mike Fortin, the richest man in 8t, louls County, told the salesman to send the carriage out to Clayton C. O. D, Fortin went to other stores and bought everything from four cases of champagne, on the same terms, to a $1,200 dlamond neck- lace, Fortin leaves, besides his wife, three chi!- One of his daughters is the wife of John Sands, a well-known contractor of this city. Mrs. Fortin was formerly Miss Helen Aubuchon of Florissant. GIBBONS LINE OF STEAMERS. One of the Vessels Nearly Ready for Launching.

MR. BALL WILL BE REFUSED A CERTIFICATE OF ELECTION. NEW BUILDINGS DEMANDED. Bunches of Petitioning Tax-Payers Appear Before the School Board Committees. D. C. Ball, who was elected to the office of School Director, writes from Waco, Tex., to President Coste that he will arrive in St. Louis Monday morning and proceed to qualify as a member of the board. On this quostion Mr. Coste said yesterday to a Post-Dispatch reporter: “Immediately on receipt of this letter I went to Circuit Clerk Rogers and asked whether he would consent to issue a certificate of election to Mr. Ball in the event the statement of his campaign expenses is filed Monday.” The clerk said he held the law to be mandatory upon him, and as he viewed the situation he had no action in the mat- ter. Mr. Ball’s statement had not been written, sworn to and filed with the clerk within the prescribed thirty days following the election, and henoe a certificate of elec- tion would be refused. “But,”’ added Mr. Coste, “I will go with Mr. Ball to the clerk on Monday ok make the issue more formal, in order that all parties may reach a con- clusion. I feel sure, however, the clerk will not recede from his position.’ Then the matter will revert to the School Board in the shape of a question whether thé board can certify to the Mayor that a vacancy exists, when Mr. Ball was never a member. The Committees on Building and Instruo- tion held a long session yoRereny after- noon, with the new Building Commissioner, Mr. Ittner, in attendance. It was a joint open session, held for the purpose of hearing arguments and receiving petitions for new school buildings and the construction of additional rooms. The board finds itself confronted with a grave situation. The rapid growth of the city has made the erection of new buildings a necessity and that has been done hereto- fore without much regard to the urgent ne- cessities of the old buildings, some of which are now in a shameful condition of decay. How to meet the emergencies is a problem, as there is only a limited amount of money at the digposal of the board for such pur- poses. But delegations of indignant tax- payers are climbing up to the board room every week and expréssing their opinions of former boards in language more forcible than elegant. The Jackson Association {s a case in point. This is an organizatiog of citizens and tax- payers banded together ten or twelve years ago to secure additional facilities and event- ually a new building for the Jackson School, It has been hammering away at the board all these years and got nothing. t appeared once more before the commit- tee yesterday afternoon and related its grievances. The Jackson ae is sur- rounded by livery stables and alleyways; it fronts on no street; it is in a dilapidated condition and overcrowded. The building was erected in 1859 and has frequently been condemned by the Health Commissioner and the City Building Commissioner. Even Prof. Woodward joined in the condemna- tion of the building, which is the only school house in the Sixteenth Ward. “Why was the house built in a locality surrounded by alleys and dumpheaps and stables?” asked one of the directors, gravely. s0on as the spokesman could recover y, eir, in 1859 the Board to go out there equirrel-shooting.”’ The director collapsed. “But,” interposed Prof. last building erected cost Mr. Binker, the spokesman, answered uickly: “But that was done b the old oard, There are em | twelve of you,” A moment of painful eilence ensued, and then the Directors leaned back and laughed until the proceedings were temporarily sus- pended.

SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 27. 1897. LOVELY WOMAN AT THE TURKISH BATH. She Doffs Her Dignity and Personality With Her Gowns and Furbelows and Be- comes Quite a Different Creature. There is no place which affords the un- initiated more facilities for ‘‘getting ono ‘the curves” of society than a fashionable Turkish bath-house. One can appreciate the sentiment which prompted the words: “‘No man is a hero to his own valet,” after a study of a life class here. There is a disrobing of heavy silks and heavy airs alike that makes one feel the weight of Herr Teufelsdrockh’s defini- tion of man as a “clothed animal,”’ to be shorn of all dignity and personality ag soon as he sheds his garments. The philosopher tries to picture to himself the awful re- sults of a sudden starting of buttons and evaporation of cloth at an august assem- bly, which oeases to be august forthwith; and he naively asks: “And yet why is the thing impossible? Was not every soul, or rather every body of them—naked or nearly 60 last night; ‘a forked radish with a head fantastically carved.’ "’’ And these gro- tesque speculations apply with eqtal forca when one sees the fashionable female con- tingent of mankind who affect the Turkish bash. ou see womankind divested of beauty, ace, art and dignity simultaneously with heir clothes. here is an unbending of one’s nature that ig sometimes distressing to see, disastrous to absent friends, but awfully productive of exhibitions of pent- up wrath, envy, malice and a vent to the odd bit of | undressed—that there is an affinity which places all on a level. No shams go here and she recognizes the fact that the as- sumption of any will make her painfully conspicuous. She no longer tells you she can wear 22- inch stays “easy.’’ It is all too evident she is nearly three feet in. circumference. Her feet show evidence of existing under great ressure, you see why she disapproves of loomers and know just how many moss green freckles she hides under cosmetics. Of course there are many who go to dis- lay ‘their hidden charms and make their ess fortunate sisters wish they had stayed at home. There are others who go for the purpose of reducing their flesh. These blooming peo- nies tell wondrous tales of how, in their outh, they were graceful lilies The Turk- ich bath is the fat woman’s eeca, She waddles 'to the fashionable West End bath- house from all parts of St. Louis. One must spend a morning among them to ap- preciate their burdens of flesh. They line up in the hot air room, reclin- ing on couches, and look like so many bolled lobsters in shrouds. After being baked, steamed and parboiled they sit around in the general menagerie like so many aleepy overgrown pugs, while ‘the at- tendants in their mother hubbards dress their hair or manicure their nails. Nobody cares who anybody is, and all chatter like magpies and tell who is to be married soon, how much Miss Blank paid for her trousseau, why Mr. Smith jilted Miss Jones, how many diamonds they have at home the cost of every article of wearing apparel they have in their dressing rooms, compare notes on the latest hair dyes, cosmetics and fashions. 4 figures; they can be built up and a com- plexion can be improved, but not so with a thin suit of hair. Even the fat woman who retires to a dark corner to be weighed before and after bathing does not envy the slender woman nearly so much. Of course every lady understands that the LEAVES HER UNDULATING HIPS BE- HIND, attendant is exempt from criticisms. After one Turkish bath you will understand why she has you at her mercy as much as a barber has his male customers. ' When she gets you on the marble slab | you will think your mother is having retri- ' bution for all the strokes you missed when ‘you were a few years younger. ——$——— ~“=—=p -_ Ss Ua —— WS WX SS YS MA | Pa a ~~ > ~ A SCENE IN THE COOLING ROOM. society, the patron of the Turkish bath- house has in stock, She steps into her dressing-room a styl- ish, dignified leader of fashion and a mo- ment later comes forth a woman with all the faults, weaknesses, defects and love of gossip common to her sex—sometimes with ly concealed fess, and unsuspected, heet, she w The gossips whose families have resided in St. TLouls for generations drag from the closet of each well-known person in society the family skeleton and make a merry time with tts bones. And everything goes. There is nothing sacred in a bath-house. The patrons are no respecters of persons and none too good for them to criticise and no story is too spicy to be related. They not only talk about other women’s husbands but many band together in the aay bonds of martyr- dom and roast thelr absent lords world without end. : They compare notes on how they make Charley or Jim plank down the better part of his income—at least they think he planks it down—how they ar an eye on their husband’s typewriter rl and in general unburden themselves of all their trials and tribulations. If an unmarried girl is pres- ent they never fail to end up their ha- rangues by advising her never to marry “any man.” Occasionally a newly married lady will come in and assert that her husband is an angel, and she ‘‘knows he is."" Poor thing, n y disputes it, but there are sly winks and nudges that would indicate they could tell her a thing or two, but of course they only tell each other when she is gone. The lady who makes her exit first gets the most criticism and so on in proportion to the number left after each departure. Like Sir Peter Teasie in the “School for Scandal” the departing one leaves her reputation in the hands of those who remain, They are very friendly until she leaves. Then they turn with one impulse and ask the attena- ent: ..> o is she, anyway?” with that pecullar nasal twang only @ WOman is mean enough to use. The stage who have not yet arrived at the age of discretion and tmagine they can make the public believe they are only 16 are holy terrors. They are as playful as kittens and lay In a new stock of spring each bath, One old lady with her bath she rushed into the room where the others were resting, and, apri shouted: tomahawk rk wi The same old lady asserted © on could tell - was older than he - o a, —— ,_ Ae ay t’ was on, and a or , may account for it.

In this, as in the they are completely at the mercy of the attendant. She places each in a large box, which covers them entireiy, ex- cept the head, which protrudes through the top of the box. The scene recalls Dore’s il- lustrations of Dante’s Inferno, and a min- jature inferno it seems to the bather, en- veloped in smoke and fumes of sulphur. Sul- phur is burned inside the box and the fumes envelop the whole person. But women will do anything to improve their complexions. Even a trip like Dante’s would be endured, provided it would purge them of freckles and all blemishes of the epidermis. The man DANTE’S re IS INSIDE THIS ah a or woman who wishes to make money has only to introduce a cosmetic, establish bathing pariors or lecture or “How to Be Beautiful,’’ and there is not a woman too poor to pour her money into the benefac- tor’s hands. MINNIE A. UNDERWOOD. FURS IN RUSSIA. Skins That Are Classed as “‘Coid Furs” in That Country. It seems a contradiction to speak of a “cold fur,’’ but that is what the Russians style some of the wraps that we in America ignorantly consider warm enough for the coldest climate. A writer in Lippincott’s says that the first thing an American wom- an has to do when she reaches Russia is to reconstruct her ideas on the subject of furs. Her beloved sealskin goes far down on the list. It is one of the ‘“‘cold furs” that no Russian lady would care to wear as a lining—and it is as linings that all furs are worn—because it is too tender. The only thing it is good for is a short jacket, to be worn between seasons, and then it must be used entirely for walking. A wom- an who sets out on foot in that garb must surely return on foot, for if she took a car- riage or sledge she would be running a seri- ous risk. The pretty squirrel skin is recokned among the ‘‘cold,”’ cheap furs, and is given up to the unfashionable world, while the mink, also a ‘‘cold”’ fur, though expensive enough, is used by men only, Just as is the pretty mottled skin obtained by piecing sable paws together. The proper furs for the climate are the ‘“‘downy”’ furs that, beginning at the brown goat, go all the way up to that cli- max of beauty and luxury, the black fox or the silver fox, soft and delicate as feath- ers and warm as a July day. The kuni is a fur that was used by royalty in the olden time and wag the unit of cur- rency. It is costly when dark and has a tough, —_ skin, which ig an essential in all furs that are to be used for large cloaks. Sables, rich and dark, are worn like the kuni, by any one who can afford them— court dames, cavaliers, archbishops and merchants, with their wives and daughters. Cloth or velvet is the proper covering for all furs and the colors worn for driving are often light and gay. Clothed in these furs the Russian seldom takes cold. Few Russians wear flannels. The houses are kept delightfully warm and at places of entertainment no extra clothing could be borne. No Russian enters a room, theater or public hall at any season of the year without first removing his cloak and overshoes and no well trained servant would allow an ignorant foreigner to trifle with his health by so doing. The foreign churches are provided with cloak rooms and attendants, In the Rus- sian churches this would not be practicable, as sO many are coming and going, but even here some of the richer people keep a lackey to hold their cloaks, just inside the en- trance.

THRILLING EXPLOIT OF A GIRL WHO IS NOW THE ONLY WOM- AN MECHANICAL ENGINEER. Written for the Post-Dispatch. There have lately been turned out of the Southern Pacific Railroad shops at one of the big terminals of that road on the Pa- cific Coast, four of the largest consolidated pattern engines in use, designed especially for mountain work, whose plans and speci- fications were drawn by probably the only lady expert mechanical engineer in Ameri- ca, if not in the world. How she attained her present position is one of the railroad legends of the road for which she works, but I believe the story has never been in print.

The little housekeeper had made the day very pleasant for hien by piloting him about the valley, and on leavi he had given her a air of powerful field glasses. They were er dearest earthly possession, for with them she could see her father’s engine as it crept down the mountain for nary an hour before he would arrive at the siding. The long stretches of road as it wound around the crags ~ the canon, now fora mile in sight, then disappearing among the rocks Only to reappear still further up the mountain, were always an interesting study for the girl, and, but for those field glasses the young lady’s practical knowledge o ra!lroading and her unparalleled nerve, the Southern Pacific would have had one wreck that would have cost many liv One Au t dr | ise larke was watching through the fleld glasses the effect of the sunlight on the brilliant quartz rock at the farthest point up the mountain, where the track could be seen from the valley and only a short distance from the big mills at the top of the hill.

Eventually the pros- perity of the first proprietors brought other adventurous spirits to the lucky spot and later a rich syndicate bought out all the smaller claims on the ledge and established there the greet mills and smelters of the Calumet Mining and Smelting Company. Then the Southern Pacific people awak- ened to the importance of the enterprise, and after a series of consultations with the syndicate in the course of which a very handsome financial proposition was made by the miners, a branch road was surveyed up through the canons to the site of the now rapidly growing town. The difficulties were almost insurmountable, but at last the work was done and avery crook and dangerous piece of track was the result. Its grades were precipitous in the extreme; its curves sharp to the last degree, and its road bed so narrow in some places that if a car became derailed it was either demol- l@hed against the rock wall on one aide or went to the bottom of the gorge on the other, there to He and rot and rust a@ay.

Unerring Accuracy of the Bertillon System of * Identification of Criminals—In a Million Men No Two Measure Alike, The progress made tn the science of thief- catching in the last dozen years has been @o marvelous that it would seem to border on the impossible, from being a hazard, the probability of a criminal’s capture, in any part of the world, has become almost an ab- solute surety. The extreme rarity of im- portant law breakers successfully evading the police in iteelf proves that the reverse is the rule. Of the many improvements in the system of identifying criminals nothing occupies a more prominent place, nor has been produc- tive of better results that the method of bone measurements, which takes its name f1 om | never lies, to be sure, but the sharp-eyed, all-seeing lens could not penetrate disguises, and * change of beard, in color and style, would render valueless a previous picture.

Sor the past week the board room at the Four Cot&ts has been the scene of many interesting 0 tions. Mr. George M. Por- teous, who is the ablest exponent of the Bertillon system in America, has been in- stalling it in St. Louis, and Chiefs Harri- an and Desmond and members of the Po- fice Department generally are very enthu- giastic over it. Severa! prisoners have been measured each day, and the records form the beginning of what will some day be a large and valuable collection. a HLS / en Sa Utinis ., ay, Al } Wa Few ; te - Spode s 4 Stee t !

Its uses, while manifold and of undoubted advantage, does not permit an officer to ig a a fugitive criminal should he see him on the street or in a —-—— *crowd any quicker than he can at present, but it does enable him to tell who he has got after he has made the arrest. The plan, as it works in Franee, involves an organized system, embracing every city n the country, and eventually all of the arge cities of the world. It was introduced n this country by Mr. Porteous in 1887 in oHet prison. Mr. Porteous spent several months in Paris investigating the system, under the tuition of Alphonse Bertillon, eon of the originator of the plan, who is at resent at the head of the Bureau of Identi- cation in France, with offices in Paris, ince that time Mr. Porteous has installed he eyet « es in man ements us in the measuring are y simple. Two boards are ed together in a cross. Scales to regis- er the height and reach are on the boarda. A stone with the imprint of the human foct on it, and a stand for the measurement of the arms complete the furniture. The rest of the outfit consists of delicately ad- justed compasses. The French metric sy8- measurement ig used ht angles with his body and from finger tip to finger Me. he trunk is also measured. The head is measured in two ways, for length and width. The.ear is measured also for height nd width. Other measurements taken are: Left foot, left middle finger, left little nger, left forearm, inclination, height and width of forehead, profile, length, breadth and projection of the nose. The oolor of the eyes are noted, and also any striking peculiarities of the features. All birthmarks wounds, scars and marks are examin and measured. In the thoroughness of the measurement lies the secret of the success of the system, It pertains exclusively to such portions of the anatomy that cannot possibly change from disease or other causes. The photo- graphs used in the illustrations show som of the possibilities of disguise by means o different arrangements of the beard and air, It would be impossible to recognize he same man in all of the pictures from Simbay Worning—St. Louis Post-Dispatch June 27, 1887, the photographs, but the urements are the- game. thought that there would be 4 ibility of two men measuring exact! a e.

Duplicate one of important criminals will be forwarde there for aling. and can be had upon ap- agree by the department in ony city n the country. e advantages to be de- rived are many. In case of euspicious ar- rests, and the inability of the police to rec- ognize the prisoner by photograph, his measurements can be taken and a duplicate card sent to the main office. f he has ever been measured before his identity will be immediately revealed. A striking Instance of the possibilities of the system occurred in Paris. The headless body of a man was found in a thicket !n the suburbs. Near by was found the head. There was absolutely no clew to the identity of the murdered man, but he looked like a criminal. The body was measured in the morgue and the files searched. The result was that a duplicate measurement was found, which be ed to a notorious Parisian crook. clew the murder was traced to a pal of the murdered criminal, and a ch of circum- stantial evidence woven sufficient to con- vict the accused. Another instance was that of a burglar who was killed while trying to rob a safe. He met his death while exploding a charge of dynamite. His body was viewed in the morgue by mem- bers of the detective department, but none of them could identify the man. He was measured and found to be a well-known bo og who had served time for previous 8. A similar case happened in Chicago, where aman was killed while trying to rob a druggist at the point of a gun. Not until he was measured and search made of the files in the office was his identity revealed. The expense is nominal and dwindles into insignificance when compared to the incalcu- lable advantage derived from it. The neces- sary paraphernalia is made in Paris. It its not protected in any way by law and conse- quently will not prove the bonanza and gold mine to its originators that one might expect. Like many other valuable discover- fes the world has been given the secret without other expectations than to better existing circumstances. During the past week several prisoners have been measured by Mr. Porteous and John Haley, who was first assigned to take charge of the department, among them the notorious Skippy Rohan, who is charged with the murder of Grocer Beimfohr. From the nature of the measurements and their delicacy everything depends on the be- havior of the prisoner. If he is inclined to make a fuss he has to_ be forced into submission. Beautiful Badge. Beautiful badges will be worn by the mem- bers of the Local Lodge of Elks who will attend the reunion of their order at Minne- apolis the week of July 6th. They are said to be the most exquisite ever worn by Elks at a Grand Lodge meeting, and are the handiwork of Miss Minnie Stevenson, who is a niece of Col. Lewis A. Clarke, the sec- retary of St. Louis pase and Grand Mar- ehal of the parade which will take place on Thursday, July 9th, at Minneapolis, in which 6,000 or more Elks will participate. Miss Stevenson, who is a pupil of the Ursuline Academy at Arcadia, Mo., has out- done herself in the mans of the seages. They are of royal purple ribbon and the let- tering is old gold silk, while the Elk’s head is embroidered in silk colors representing a life likeness of a Royal Elk.

Mr. Jules Bertero has been sent in advance to make arrangements, and prepare deco- rations and quarters for the local lodge. The Elks’ famous Kazoo band will be in attendance, and will make “‘‘Rome how!’ with music and glee songs. Mr. David B. Aloe, who is one of the aides to Col. Clarke, will take with him his famous ‘Musico- logne,’’ which is Quite a novelty, being an invention of Mr. Aloe’s never before seen in public. It can be placed in a hall, in the street or in the rotunda of a hotel, and re- peats every sound regularly, like an echo. A great deal of fun can be had with it, be- cause it can be hidden from view. In addition to otner novelties, Exalted Ruler Burt W.

To the relic seeker it is indeed a place of curiosities. Beneath the rocks and yellow clay lay the decayed bones of men who, in their way, experi- enced the joys and bitters of life in thia world three or four hundred years ago, but whose tribe is long since extinct. This Indian burying ground Is very differ- ent from the graveyards of that meng race known as the Mound Builders, and must not be confused with such. There are many of the erections of the Mound Build- ers in Kentucky which have been explored and written about, and while there are many laces where it is known that Indians He yurted, the “City of the Dead’ on Mr, Quinn’s place contains so many skeletons, is in such a weird and picturesque spot and contains so many ng evidences of the life of ‘‘Poor Lo” that it is worthy of es- pecial note. The burying ground is situated on the top of a cliff along the Kentucky River, a few miles below Valley View. On one side of the cliff is the Kentucky River, while on the other is Tapp’s Creek. Thus the cliff is entirely surrounded by water. The sides are raaeed and broken, with limestone rock covered with moss, while from between the ledges rises cedar trees and various forms of shrubbery. ‘It ts on the level top of this cliff that the graveyard is found, and it !s impossible to reach it save on foot. The plateau is about a half acre large and, standing on it one can see for many miles in any direction, Below, on one side is seen the fog arising from the picturesque Ken- tuck rapid waters of turbulent Tapp’s Creek. he Indians must have had some object in bringing their dead to this out-of-the way and weird place, and various reasons are advanced for it. One reason is that the tribe of Indians in this section were sun worshippers and for that reason would be nearer to the celestial orb—their god— than they would in any other place, and that no trees would ever cast their shadows across the graves. The barren land pro- duced scarcely ag | vegetation and was an undesirable place for animals, and this also might have been a reason for the selection of the place; There is no doubt but that the skeletons of 300 or 400 Indians are lying in this graveyard. The bones are consid- erably broken and decayed, but they are easily discernible as those of humans. From the way the skeletons are lying now It seems that only a small excavation was dug and that the corpses were laid in this and dirt piled upon them, formi a kind of mound, A great deal of the dirt which was used in covering the bodies has washed away and the bones are now only two and two and one-half feet down in the ground. The entire plateau is covered with large thin rocks, which were most cer- tainly carried there from the sides of the cliff. These rocks have been arranged in grotesque shapes and in spite of the fact that but few people have ever visited the epot they have become considerably dis- arranged. ery one who visits the place carries away some bones or relics, ag ga!! that is necessary to find them is to raise the large flat rocks and dig down a few inches in the earth. The Post-Dispatch correspondent visited this old graveyard in company with a par- ty of re.ic seekers and the accompanyin icture was taken while they were engaged n opening graves.

This was a state that, physically, I had no need of and certainly did not relish, as Iam a literary worker and activity of all the intellectual faculties is a necessity. The sluggish working of the brain was an intense surprise to me, as it has always been on the other extreme and I have never lacked ideas in my work. The change could be attributed to noth- ing but the chocolate. It is a splendid tonic for quieting the nerves, calming the mind which has been overstrained, and for induc- ing sleep; the milk acts much the same way. Now, on the other hand, the coffee is a stimulant, which affects the nerves, send- ing the blood to the brain, stimulating it and causing great mental activity. Of course, the amount consumed regulates its influence on the system. We can easily see how injurious coffee is to persons suffering from ‘‘nerves,”’ in- somnia or abnormal use of the mind, and 4g beneficial and soothing chocolate would e. The coffee would prove of very material use to the brain worker, when the emo- tional feelings are in a state of coma and unable to conceive and create. The truth of this was proved in my case conclusively, for almost. immediately I stopped chocolate and used coffee again, my brain became clear, imagination worked beautifully and I now feel the old-time in- terest and pleasure in my work.

Rudolph and the party next visit the mountain where he first met Gilda. He and his father ascend alone.

It was there—the morning star! white, lustrous, quivering, gleaming in opalescent splendor, emitting the pearly flashes, the eloquent, white sparklings of which it alone is capable—that great pile of snowy fire, hanging over the wind-swept summits of the Fraulein mountain with a dazzling beauty that suggested a gem fallen from the jewel-estudded roadways of the world su- peral. Sweet, radiant star of morning! Gilda had been watching and waiting for it, and lo there it was, alone with her while its other starry associates had melted into the ethereal blue! and there sees her bridal vell and is overcome with | | She wag standing at the little gate after | weaning through the long lonely hours of the hey could tell her nothing of the Prince; they had busied themselves restoring her to consciousness, and when they looked at the mountain again he was not there!

Herman, joy, for she recognized the puree as one ehe had seen with Rudolph, “Tell her it is from the Prince—from Ru- dolph—and that he will come to her some day!’’ Casper was tulking like one in a dream. “Ah, thou didst see him, thou dost bear a& message. What said my darling, my love, my Rudolph?” And Gilda caught the two rough hands in a detaining clasp. “Speak, speak, Cas- ‘per!’ He pushed back the disorderly hair Was he alone, Casper, was he the prisoner yet of the wehr-wolves that carried him from me?” “I saw—one—big—old man!” Ah! how painful were Casper’s efforts to recall or relate the incidents of his meeting with gre *, sent me gold; he bade me hope for his coming!

You will grieve to death: for no young littie heart could bear up under such a weight, You must endeavor to forget the experience of that terrible night on the mountain.” “It was not a ‘terrible night!" answered Gilda, looking tender and dreamy at mem- ory of the knight in armor, and his im- pulsive espousals. very happ ht. strong an near the brow of the mountain, No, I shall never, never forget!’’ “Ah, that moonlight!” snapped the aunt, looking vindictively at the s y “What has it not done for weak woman? Eyes are all the darker, voices al! the eweeter, vows all the more alluring under the light of the moon. Eliminate the moon from the plan of creation and the whole fortune of the human family will be chan for the bet- ter. I don't believe in folk- but, really, I am willing to place credence Im any story that calls the moon a witch censor, that brings down folly, indifference and every other kind of remissness!’’ But Gilda shook her head wilfully against her aunt's gospel of no moonlight. She had loved the orb of night all through her life, and she would not waver in her allegiance, let come what would. And while she was standing under the light of breaking day, his ce of Verlein- stern Sigmaringen was journeying back from the eastern boundary of his domain. His thoughts were busy and his brow was clouded, and she was the innocent cause. “T do not like the idea of the woman being at large,” he was thinking. “She ts sure to hear of the Prince having gone to Den- mark, and may follow him. Yet how am I to prevent her doing so?” When he reached his grand ducal court he gave himself up to gloomy cogitation. It had long been known all over Germany that the Court of Verleinstern-Sigmaringen was a very dull, stupid assembly, but in a short while the idea was abroad that it was the lonellest place on the continent. The tradespeople In the -Spielhaupt did not find their Dusiness increase in any re- markable degree, owing to the proximity of the court and they cared little when it would be moved away. It came into the mind of Hugo to go up on the Fraulein, one fine night, when spring was robing the forest In her dainty designs. It seemed to his way of think- ing that he would be nearer Rudolph there. It had been the scene of a great happiness in the young man’s life and in visiting the place he might come iftto choser com- alan with his absent son. He heard regularly from Rudolph; he was wmhnin military renown on the fleld of battle, bu there was a yearning for his presence that nothing could quiet. Ac anied by his steward and Schluers- burg only, the Grand Duke ascended the mountain. He must have intruded on some one’s grief, for, as he neared the magic spring, a young woman who had been sit- ting on a boulder near it.ceased her soft sobbing, and ere be could speak to her turned swiftly out of sight. Where had he seen that lithe, lissome, willowy form? There was something fa- miliar about it, something familiar. Then he turned to his steward and they walked out on the projection that was closest to the mil. ‘This is the place, your Grand Ducal High- nese!’ the old servitor whispered. “The mill that was largely the cause of the feuds between the families, has been re how the iand wae divided } What I wish to know te whe grane dukes for you, your f orefathers were in the the 1.” Henry sald, siow “Ah! did they — the er?” was shadow fore- told disast at the combat when a Verletnstern feld, standing over the dead ‘ fron Lady Gilda, who in nounced them and I thought over ft spoke to you.

One par- ticularly dark day I ran into the home of a friend in the West End to escape a shower and was greatly interested in the prepara- tions made for such a disaster by this thoughtful housewife. “Going over the tornado district last spring,”’ said she, “I observed that the damage rarely ever ex- tended to the basement, exeept in the cases of warehouses or very heavy bulldings. I therefore determined right away that in any similar emergency I would retreat without waiting for an extremity at the very first big blow to the basement and if I had sufficient warning I would prepare for a siege. Now come with me and I'll show you how I am fixed for to-night.” She led the way to an ordinarily clean and comfortable basement, in which the ma- sonry foundation looked substantial enough to withstand anything. In an angle made by the hall chimney, right under the grand stairway, she had stored several camp stools, a cot, some rugs, a box of candies and matches. The bread box was there. filled with bread and butter. There was a fresh boiled ham, some cans of meat, deviled ham, tongue, etc. There was @ case of beer, a bottle of brandy, & bottle of listerine, a package of lint and bandages, soap, etc. She had tea, coffee and sugar, which she could use fn case the wreckage was not too great to use the laundry stove near by, and in this a fire was laid ready to light. The ice chest, well stored, was handy, so that altogether she was ready to stand a siege of at least twenty-four hours in comparative comfort. “Before going to the basement I would see that not a spark of fire or a light or a match was left in the upper part of the house,” she continued, “so there would be no danger of a fire in the ruins.” Her precautions seemed so well planned and thoughtful that I commend them\to the readers of the Sunday Post-Dispatch.

They ride frantically round and round the circle, slashing, battling, dodging and whacking every obstacle that comes in their way, whether it be a balloon, a polo pony or the physiognomy of one of the enthusiastic players.

Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June %.—My Dears: Books ‘inmumerable have been written on beauty from a physical standpoint, and lectures given without number in regard to the taking oare of the body from head to feet. be made a crowning glory, what pomades and complexion brushes are used for the face, how the eyes can be penciled or blackened, what tooth powders and wash can be given to the teeth and breath, how often a massage is required, and what lo- tions, cosmetics and salves are needed for the feeding and preserving of the skin. How the form should be bathed, and what soap, meal and perfumery should be given daily as an invigorator and tonic, and lastly, how: the hands should be manipulated and by what process the nails should be mani- cured, and in what an over night’s dressing can be given. Now, for the woman of society in the mak- ing up of her toilet a special perfume is iven each day. For instance, if it is violet ay, then this extract is given for the bath, a violet powder is used for the face and neck and the whole body. For a perfume for the articles of lingerie this same violet as a pow- der does excellent duty and acts as an ad- ditional charm, and the same, as a finishing touch, in the scent bags, which are used in the facing of her dress, under her arms and on the bosom the violet extract is there in full. And when an evening costume is made this particular scent pervades the entire form, making for the whole an Irresistible delight, and so each perfume haa iis day, all equally fine, in all its details. Every woman who believes in the art of ag her beauty looks upon Mrs, Har- riet Hubbard Ayer ag a wise authority on such matters. Mrs. Ayer possesses Pan- dora’s box. She has a beautiful complex- jon, a charming re, and above all a de- lightful manner.

Leet 2 one afternoon in- vited to meet the great prima donna, ascended the elevator of the Plaza Hote and in a movement or two was ushe into the dainty parlor of the great singer. At window sat a bundle of sil a form en- veloped in a series of beautiful capes from which was a flowing garment beneath. She arose, passed into another room and came eartily. She was dressed in a rich black satin skirt with a body of dark red satin in which the Irish crochet as an insertion formed the trim- ming. Wer hair was well brushed back from her forehead with the exception of a stray lock or two which clustered on her brow, the embodiment of womanly poaeny. Madame Calve hae a complexion that is faultless, rich in color, pure white and red— hair of a taven black; her features aquiline, early teeth and a re beyond descrip- ion. #0 stunned was I by her wonderful beauty that I said, “Ah, Madame, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.” he laughed most heartily and shook her head. en asked how she spent her days, her companion, a bright English woman, replied: ‘ lame is a song bird. When not singing she loves the air, but she delights {in Paris and is homesick to get there.”” I have been told by a friend of the great actress who knows well her pri- vate life that she disitkes jewels; she never wears them; that ehe is devot to her family, and supports some nieces and neph- ews, ving them a splendid education and pledgin that every ventars should be theirs. I tok my leaye but, still saying, “How lovely you are,” when she grasped my hand and merrily said, “You will not think seo when you see me tomor- row in ‘Carmen.’ ”’ I contend that all women should take the greatest care in preserving their good looks, if they have any, and, if not, to make them- selves look as well as they can. As an old- fashioned purifier for the face and hands there is nothing better than cornmeal in fts raw state. This is an excellent cleansér for the pores, will give your skin a brightness and impart to the tone of the flesh a good color. Upon my word, half of the women really do not wash their faces. However great the supply of water may be given to the face, a tonic should be used to bring out the parti- cles of dust that accumulate and hide themselves in the crevices of the skin. And there is still another principle in the daily lives of all women most essential in the rules of well preserving the poany health and that is the “rest cure.” I boldly asser that every woman, unless engaged in busi- ness lines, should sleep one hour every alt- herself hd Y // 4 , Y; i A SUMMER GIRL IN SEASON, EM) oe, tip Zo if Y 2 tr 7 an ain ‘ ' iT, ‘ \ YY, ; i WY 2”) Yi?» lei We 1B of \ | KT Kl tw UT i . ‘ SS . a eS = \ ‘Sy aA ,.

Excellent serges, which, for the cool days, should be always on hand, and all the timmings which come to ts from over the water. But really to make them perfect, artistic taste should be exercised in all the matters of general dress- ing. A linen collar may look well on a léng- necked woman; on a short one it becomes a horror. A fichu can be worn by all, but for the ry; beauty it is the dream of beauty, o that the thin woman should stick to her nigh collars, pretty guimps and fluffy ruf- es. After all, dear women, beauty fs but Mttle account compared to these ster ing qualities which go to make up a genuine, all-around, every day woman, At first like the men you are fasoinated by this loveliness of nature, Then ap get used to looking at it, and if there {s noth- ing beyond this pink and white complexion, and all the rest of it, you tire—woefully tire of it. A noted Parisian who was extremely homely in appearance, whose face had really not one redeeming trait, but who had to make his looks second to his manners, once said: “Give me but six hours in advance of the handsomenest man in Paris and I will guarantee to be just where he is in the social scale when the season is over.”’ The real abiding truth about beauty is if the one great* power known as magnetism is yours, dear woman, you can snap your fingers at all the good looks the world holds. It is the mighty conqueror—the inevit- able charm, the all-powerful influence that cannot fade, grow old, or dim even in your declining years. It is the magnet rn ‘| within you that shines With all its luster and gives to beauty what it really is. MRS. OLIVER BELL BUNCE. Veranda Screens. Those who make a practice of using the veranda for a sitting-room summer will find a screen very useful for many reasons, It shuts off the hammock or couch from the Public gaze, or incloses a corner for the children’s playthings, and has the advant- age of being movable. Cheap ones can be purchased for $1.58, or a clever boy can make one of light wood and fancy paper. The uncovered frames can be bought and trimmed afterwards, with paper, fancy cre- ton, or some pretty kind of drapery. LARGE EARRINGS REVIVED.

Everybody who has been in the moun- tains of Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia or any other of the mountains for that matter—for your mountaineer is of the same characteristics wherever you find him, whether in the Ozarks, the Alleghenies or the Cumberland range—knows how the typical mountaineer handles a jug. He scorns the use of a cup, and seizing the jug by the handle he allows the weight of it to fall on the back of his hand, raises it to his lips and lets the mountain dew gently gurgle down his throat. But no mountaineer or handle this jug so.

Spiders are great cann!bals; the parents eat their children, and the chil- dren in turn readily eat each other, There is only one spider farm where these insects are raised for their web, which is woven Into spider silk. The spider's web is much smoother and brighter-colored than the thread of the silk- worm, but it is much more fragile. It is vastly softer and more beautiful than the finest silk, and owing to its scarcity. and the care necessary in weaving it, it ‘5 more expensive than the costliest product of the Lyons silk looms.

Watts of Still Pond, Md., has a novelty in the form of a cold stove. The stove is for use in the heated months of summer for reducing temperature, juat as stoves heated by fire are used to raise the temperature in winter. By the use of salt, a small quantity of Ice and a patented chemical the most intense degree of cold is secured. So great is the cold that it ig as dangerous to touch this cold stove when it is in operation as it would be BO plate the don a fire stove at a high degree of heat. The skin is instantly en off and painful injuries are the result of the slight- est contact. Prot. Watts states that during the hottest weather the temperature of a room may be run down and made pleasant by the use of this novel device. The new process was discovered by a college mate of the teacher of the Still Pond School. The cost of operating the stove is very siight. THE BALANCING ROCK ON THE ISLAND OF CORSICA.

The two sig¢ling irls pushed their way fnto the crowded cable car. The one was pretty, and knew it; while the other wasn’t and didn’t seem to know it. After a great deal of squeezing that almost took their breath away, they at last reached the front part of the car. They kept up their gig- ling until a man who was trying to read n the corner seat got up in disgust and went out on the front platform. Although they both wanted to sit down, neither wished to deprive the other of the seat. “You take it, dear,” said the pretty one. “I wouldn't enjoy it at all if I knew you were standing,” replied the other. Then they began giggling again. At last, when another woman rushed up to take it, the pretty girl shoved her friend into the eeat, saying: “The first thing we know we'll lose it. Besides, my dear, it's better for you to take It, because I’m more likely to have a seat offered me.” The homely girl stopped giggling and turned red in the face, and when her friend got out about a mile beyond she never as much ag bade her good-bye, LIKE A CASH REGISTER.

She had repeatedly purchased tickets for various celebrated prize fights, and after escorting him thither would see to it that he had plenty of lemon cream puffs to munch upon during the intervals of slugging. Many and many an evening had she assisted him !n increasing the numerals upon his poor hard-working mamma’s coal and gas bills, and she had seen four several sets of new springs added to the parlor sofa.

But upon this special evening in question Ulysses had her dead to rights, it may have been the witching golf costume in old gold and baby blue that he wore, or the shy grace with which he placed his tiny palm in hers. However, be this as it may, she could no longer restrain herself; impulsively threw her arms about his frat, shrinking figure and drew him tenderly to-~ her. ips rose from his she loving mur- mured: is kiss tells you my secret.

Just as if a man with a store wasn't under enough expense in these hard times. I'm glad you came tn, for I want some advice ag to what I'd better do. I was thinking of either writing a hopping letter to the newspapers or else going down to the Water Department and laying them out cold, or if both these failed of the de- sired result I thought I would hunt up a lawyer and make a test case of it.”’ ‘Take my advice and do none of these things,’’ cautioned his neighbor. “They will merely put you to more trouble and expense and do you no good.” “But what am I to do?” druggist. “Grin and bear i{t,” returned his friend. “A man making as much money as you should be able to stand a water bill. What does it amount to, anyway?’ ‘About $20 a year?’’ the inspector said,” replied the druggist. “Well, if you don’t feel like paying it the best thing for you to do ts to tell them to shut you off.”’ “Cut off the water!” almost shrieked the druggist. ““‘Why, man, you must be crazy.

GOODFELLOW ENTI TLED TO THE HONOR. BEEN A CITIZEN 79 YEARS. His Vivid Recollections of the Early Days When This Town Was a Trading Post. Joseph A. Goodfellow, now 83 years of a@ge, is the oldest living inhabitant of the city of St. Louls, having been a citizen here for seventy-nine consecutive years. He retains vivid recollections of the early Gays in Missouri, and talks Interestingly of the struggles of St. Louis from a fur- trading post to a great metropolis. Mr. Goodfellow was born near Belfast, Ireland, in 1814. His father’s family were Protestants, and because of the religious controversies of those times they deter- mined to seek a new country. They reached @t. Louis in 1818. The town was then a trad- ing post and fur depot, occupied largely by French and Indians. Seventh street, which was then a lane, was the western limit of the little city. Be- ond the outskirts a large pond and pasture ed to the woods. The northern limit ex- tended to what is now Biddle street, and the southern boundary ran just below where the Goulard Market stands The houses of that day, Mr. Goodfellow gays, were low, substantial structures, many of them bullt of stone for better protection from the Indians. Every man was his own watchman: and lanterns were carried at night. yi saree. eee lake covered the territory ng between Fighth and Twentieth streets, ncluding the present railroad track section -and extending from Market street nearly to Chouteau avenue. This was the famous Chouteau Pond, so often referred to in the history of those times. It was there the boys went swimming in summer and skat- ing in winter, and one may imagine how ea the locality was from the fact, as recalled by Mr. Goodfellow, that wild dogs dug holes in the western banks and the boys would steal the young pups and do- mesticate , Rock Spring, used now for sewer drain- agc, emptied into the upper end of this pond, and the natural drainage from this ed is one of the foundations of the city’s oper sewage systean. e old Court-house that Mr. Goodfellow first knew stood on the corner of Second and Walnut streets. Pictures of it, extant to-day, show -what a small, insignificant re it was. There was but one church in the town, GODFREY’S ART I$ ALL HIS OWN, A NORTH ENDER WHO CAN FOOL A FISH BY HIS CLEVER IMITATIONS. If you see what appears to be a petrified fish, don’t be too certain about it, for the chances are that it is nothing of the kind. It may gleam like the real thing when de- pended from a chandelier as an ornament. and after all be nothing but a cow’s horn that has been artistically carved and paint- ed by the hand of Lee Godfrey of 2019 North Broadway. Godfrey ought to be ashamed to Mok a fish in the face after havin perpetrated 60 many frauds of this kind on the members of the finny tribe, but his conscience does not seem to bother h'm at all. Young Godfrey lives with his parents, and is an ambulance driver, being stationed at the North Pond Branch of the Dispensary, 2618 North Broadway. He claims the dis- tinction, as yet undisputed, of being the only man on earth who ever made fish from cows’ horns. He is an adept in the art, be ag he has ound satisfactorily remuner- ative, The process of makin somewhat tedious. Godfre ey 4 gets horns by the sackful from Swift, in East St. Louls, or at some of the local packing houses. From this number he selects sev- eral, usually a dozen, and then starts in to boil them, much as a good housewife would boil a soup-bone. This process renders them tough instead of brittle, and they can be carved like wood instead of chipping off at every turn of the knife. It takes them sev- eral days to get hard again, and in the meantime if Godfrey is diligent, he can transform them into a dozen fishes of the boneless variety, with perfect scales and a patent leather polish, worth, for the purpose of ornamentation, $5 a piece. Great care must be exercised tn selecting the horns to be used, for they must be short and curved after the manner of a fish just being yanked from the water by a one: armed youth on Saturday morning in his favorite fishing hole. A bad shape would affect the beauty of the finished product and probably deduct from its selling price. In the matter of polenins. also, great care must be exercised. Sand paper, no mat- ter how fine, leaves a network of minute scratches on the surface of the horn, which is incompatable with the common concep- tion of the glittering sides of a fish. The rough outside of the horn is carefully scraped off with a knife soon after the boiling proces has been completed, and then after the horn has been allowed to dry and become perfectly hard affain, Godfrey goes to work on it with a ae of pumice- stone and keeps up the polishing process until the bone-like substance gleams with rare radiance.

Both are properly colored with a red dye or red paint and glass eyes are put in, and then the inanimate object commences to assume the aspect of a piscatorial winner. When Godfrey desires to give a particu- larly close imitation of the real thing he makes a head of plaster of paris, with the eyes carefully arranged, and the result is well calculated to deceive the unwary. But putting on the scales is the most par- ticular part of the whole process. There fs where dfrey gets in the work that shows him to be an artist in his line.

God of these NEW BOOKS AND AUTHORS. 9 — i / COUNT TOLSTOTI. (Copyright, 1897, by D. Appleton & Co.) A new book by Tolstoi ts soon to be pub- lished. It kh a study of the relationship be- tween the sexes. The work is based upon the entries In a diary kept by the author. The excellent and striking portrait of Count Tolstol given above is reproduced from the New York Critic, which obtained it from Mr. John A. Logan's book, “In Joyful Russia.”” Mr. Logan met the Count re- cently and obtained this portrait. Edward Bellamy’s new book, “Equality,” appears at an opportune time, coming just when Eugene Debs and his 300,000 new Social Democrats, aided by hosts of sympathizers all over the country, propose to try the ex- periments in public management and eco- nomic equality advocated in ‘Looking Backward” and similar books. “Equality” is a sequel to ‘“‘Looking Back- ward,” and as the latter is sald to have had a sale of over 1,000,000 copies, doubtless “Equality” will have quite a vogue. Mr, Bellamy carries into detail many ideas only touched upon in his first book. Especially, he gives form to his credit system, by which the citizen of his imaginary State was to have an equal share in the total yearly product. The hero of the story, Julian (the Jullan of “Looking Backward’’) is supposed to awake from his long torpor in September. After being initiated by Dr. Leete into the peculiarities of the new economic condition in which he finds himself, Dr. Leete takes Julian to the government bank, where he draws a credit for $1,075.41, being his share of the $4,000 annual credit due to each adult citizen. Arriving in Beptember, he draws only a proportional part of his year’s credit. The superintendent of the bank tells him: Every one starts the year with the same credit, and this credit is not transferable. As to requiring deposits before accounts are opened, we are nec- essarily quite as strict as your bankers were, only in our case the people, collectively, make the de- posits for all at once. This collective deposit is made up of such provisions of different commo’ll- ties and such inetallments for the various public services as are expected to be necessary. Prices or cost estimates are put on these commodities and services, and the aggregate sum of the prices being divided by the population gives the amonnt the citizen's personal credit, which is simply his aliquot share of the commodities and ‘services available for the year. It would be interesting to know how Mr. Bellamy arrived at his estimate of $4,000 as the annual share for one person under pub- lic ‘management of industries. Was it a mere guess, or did ‘he base it on the produc- tiveness of man and nature assisted by mod- ern machinery, unhindered by strikes or in- dustrial depression? Four thousand dollars’ worth per annum of the necessaries and comforts of life would be a fortune to the millions, but it would hardly satisfy many thousands of persons who now earn far more per annum than this. And this question as to whether the new order of things promises mankind a good living or merely parsimonious board and lodging will naturally, play an important part in forming public opinion for or against a change from competition to universal co- operation, So we have the right to ask Mr. Bellamy Why $%,000 per annum as the individua ghare? Why not $10,000, or even more? The vuestion could be settled by figuring out the productiveness of modern machinery, for manufactured goods, the productiveness of the total arable land in the country for grain, fruits and vopetante, the productive- ness of the coal mines for fuel, and so on in other line ones the total into terms of money, and dividing by the adult popula- tion. Eliminating strikes and shut-downs, the individual ehare would be nearer $10,- 000 than $4,000 per annum. (New York: Appleton & Co.) c When those who read “A Houseboat on the Styx" know that an equally happy in- spiration has brought forth a sequel in ‘‘The Pursuit of the Houseboat,”’ they will rejoice and be glad. Here is fun indeed, and the author, John Kendrick Bangs, is to be con- gratulated. The dedication of the book, which is profusely illustrated, is: “‘To A. Conan Doyle, Eaq., with the author's sin- cerest regards, and thanks for the untimely demise of his greet detective, which made these things possible.” So, here we have Sherlock Holmes, or rather his spirit, still pursuing his vocation and drawing his conclusions from Invisible evidence. It may be said, in ene that Mr. Holmes’ spirit, as edited by Mr. Bangs, does’ almost, {f not quite, as clever work as when his corporeal body, under Mr. Doyle's master hand, discovered and punished guilty wives and ia inetine mander-in-chief.

The book, called ‘The Third Violet,” deals with artist life in both the city and the country. Interest in William Morris conginues to live. Aymer Vallance’s ‘“‘Art of William Morris’’ was limited to 220 copies at $40 aplece, yet the entire number was sold be- fore the day of publication. Edward Bellamy’s new book, “Equality,” is to be brought out at once by D. Appleton & Co.. Publication will be simultaneous in the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Italy and other countries, The manuscript of Anthony Hope’s new novel, the sequel to “The Prisoner of Zen- da,”’ which is to begin publication in Sep- tember, is now in the hands of C.

The title of the novel ig “A Constable of Zenda.” About the time of the Crimean war, Karl Marx, whose name is familiar to students of socialism, wrote a series of newspaper letters on the Eastern question. It is an- nounced that his daughter, Mrs. Marx Ave- ling, has been editing these letters, and they will be published this season in book form. Rand, McNally & Co. are publishing a set of Richard Henry Savage's novels in paper covers with designs that ought to double the selling quality of the books. Savage's stories are Dbrimful of excitement, action tragedy and color. They furnish a capital antidote to dullness or a tame routine. The author’s rule seems to be to every page an adventure. The July installment in the Cosmopolitan, of H. G. Wells’ blood-curdling story, ‘‘The War of the Worlds,”’ gives promise that the romance will be a great one. The author has kindly allowed the inhabitants of earth to “get in one lick” at the murderous in- vaders from Mars, who so far had been hav- ing all thelr own way. The story is well tllustrated. In the July Scribner’s Walter Crane has given a charming quality to his article on ‘William Morris,” because of a fine artistic sympathy with orris’ aims, and through ersonal friendship, which began in 1870. et s the best interpretation of Morris that has appeared The illustrations give some en- tirely new specimens of Morris’ designs— several of them unfinished when he died.

To prevent the spilling of ink on office or school desks a new device consists of a bracket which screws onto the desk on the under side of a shelf to hold a glass ink-well. Safety razors are now being made in which the handle of an ordinary razor serves for the safety, the back of the handle being cut away and one side made thin so the blade projects through far enough for use. Roller bearings for use in railroad car wheels are coming into use, a small doubie- flanged wheel being rigidly attached to the between the two wheels belng fitted with rollers. Photograph envelopes just out have a strong cardboard back, with four loose fiaps, which are drawn together after the oo is in place and can be sealed or astened by a rubber loop over a button. A newly designed cigarette box has a sep- @rate compartment for matches, an extra section of pasteboard being cut out with the rest of the box gummed so as to form @ partition after the box is put together. A new ash-sifter which will prevent all dust while in use has an oscillating sieve in the top of a box fitted with a tight cover, only a small handle projecting through by which to shake the sieve. A power meat chopper recently patented has a revolving tank with a series of knives fastened on eccentrics on the shaft above to rise and fall as the tank is turned, tltus reaching every portion of the tank. Rocking bath tubs are being made which have a curved bottom with flanges at the sides and ends of the top to prevent the water splashing, the tub being changed into a stationary bath by means of two arms at the sides. In a recently-designed pipe wrench a jaw is hinged to the end of a long bar with a chain attached to the loose end of the jaw, to be drawn tight and attached to the bar after the jaw grips the pipe, the turning of the bar serving to increase the grip of the wrench, A German has invented a process to age alcoholic neers. which consits in impreg- nating the liquid with oxygen and then sub- jecting it to a low temperature and running an alternating electric current through it, To lift a pan or kettle from the stove without danger of burning the hands a new device is made of wire with a clamp to engage the flange on the pan, the handle extending out at one side to be out of reach of escaping steam. To make it — to light a bicycle lamp when the wind is blowing a friction surface is attached inside the lamp either to the wick tube or the side of the lamp, so that the match can light the wick without expos- ing it to the wind. A new bottle stopper which will hold per- fectly tight and yet can be easily loosened when desired has a collar surrounding a rubber cork hinged at one side to a metal clamp on the neck of the bottle, the op- osite side having a link to engage a hooked ever, which is drawn downward to seal the bottle. To make Roentgen ray pictures for use in a stereoscope the light is attached to a sliding framework above the article to be photographed, which rests on a sensitized plate, the Hight being turned on at the center first and then a little at each side to remove all shadows from the plate. For use on sewing machines in large fac- tories when it is neoessary to wax the thread rapidly a new device consists of a tank to hold the wax, with an outlet pipe, opening into a tube, through which the thread runs, the wax being thin enough to run into the thread tube and keep it full. Coal scuttles which can also be used as ash sifters are being placed on the market, the side of the scuttle being cut out to re- ceive a neatly fitting drawer to catch the ashes as they fall from a screen, which fits in near the top of the scuttle. Bedsteads are now fitted with wire slat- holders, which prevent the slats from slip- ping and decrease the cost of manufacture the holder consisting of a single gor oO wire bent into a loop with a small projec. tion on each side to hold it out far enough to receive the end of the slat. To increase the power of railroad loco- motives the tender is placed on a set of driving wheels similar to those on which the engine rests, the steam being taken from the boiler by a separate pipe and controlled by an independent throttle, and the exhaust discharging into the water tank. Riding a bicycle over rough roads is made easier as far as jar to the arms and shoul- ders is concerned by means of a spring coiled inside the head of the machine, with the shank of the bar resting on the upper end of it to depress and relieve the effect of a jar. 0 assist in making a person comfortable on hot summer evenings a newly patented chair is fitted with hooks on the front edge of the seats so it can be attached to a win- dow sill and hang outside after the legs have been removed, a brace extending down to support it against the wall of the house. A new auger which will not take up as much room in a carpenter’s chest as the old kind has the bit hinged where it joins the handle, one end of the handle being made hollow and removable, so the bit can be swung around and the handle slipped over it to protect the cutters as well as to de- créase its bulk. For wheelmen who prefer to ride with thelr hands near the center of the handle bar a new brake has been invented, con- sisting of a straight rod running up through ‘the center of the head with a push plate just above the level of the bar to operate the brake spoon at the lower end. A new electric are for bicycles and car- riages has a small electro-magnet which Is turned to generate electricity by a friction whee] pressing against the side of the front tire, wires running to a small storage battery or else directly to the lamp, which - - elena by @ case to keep out the ust. A new trace key, designed to prevent the tugs of a harness from becoming de- tached from the wagon, is formed of a wire loop attached to the end of the whiffletree, | which is bent around on a line with the tug, the ends being locked fast by a key, which slips over them after they are drawn ba, mere © urtains can be raised and lowered with- out the use of springs to get out of order by means of a new pole, which has a drum at each end to hold a cord, one for wind- — and the other for unwinding the cur- tain, the brackets at each end gripping the | pole tight enough to prevent the weight of he curtain unwinding it after it is rolled up.

A NEW AND CLEVER CON GAME DEVISED TO CATCH SUCKERS. There is a new cOn game in town which is better than the lock trick. In the lock trick the victim is shown a lock which he opens without a key. Then he is offered a bet that he cannot open it. The lock he opened is “palmed” and he is handed an- other lock which looks exactly Iike it, but which he cannot open. He loses his money and gains in experience. The box trick is “‘slicker.” A Peoria man paid $10 near the Union Station last Wednes- the slickest ta! nowed I couldn't nt reckon he'd have talked me y money anyway.
