Besides giving its readeré more and better news next Sunday than any St. Louls paper will or can give, the Post- Dispatch will have a grand illuminated eight-page section, of which four pages will be beautifully printed in color and pright with illustrations by the best comico artists In America. Thig colored cover will be a revejation to St. Louls and the West and South as to what can be accomplished in colored néwspaper illustration, and as to the amount of intensely comia matter that court.

Christian Rleawarers are no less ex- empt from railroad perils than people who are not religious. One of the great- ést railroad horrors some years ago came to a crowded train of devout passengers who had just finished singing ‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.” railroad saints and sinners are equally safe. —. —_ > _o— Ss —- The fathers of the Republio overlooked an important matter in not fixing’ upon Saturday or Monday as celebration day when thé Fourth falls oh Sunday. In their day, however, the American people were comparatively few, and nervous per- sons were a rarity in the robust manhood and womanhood of the time. —,, oa _———— _ Chicago is now at work on a directory which is to give her 1,828,000 inhabitants. So large a population where there are so mahy vacant buildings must cause a ter- rible crush in the inhabited houses. The- directory, however, is expected to do its duty, erush or no © crush. the anti-butterine We Ee of Tilinois goes into effect to-day, and it is expected to let into the market 2,500,000 additional pounds of genuine butter.

The taxpayers of St. Louis can certainly be depended upon to resist any extension of municipal power of taxation. Under the charter as it now stands the total cost of street improvéménts may be d upon abutting property. But @0st of grading and all other costs inci- dent to the making of the street must be paid by the city. One of the proposed revisions of the arter is that the entire cost of grading y be assessed upon property owners. The proposition is to dangerously in- the power of levying taxes. ® existing charter limits opportunity ‘the the éxerdise of that power, It makes t®> Board of Public Improvementa a : pret: any possible abuse of power -municipal legislative bodies.

The motion of Mr, Keator of Philadelphia, made in the Pennsylvania House of Repre- sentatives yesterday, “that no bills for extra car fare, carriage hire, telegrams and other éxpenses (incurred on behalf of mem- bers of legislative investigating committees) shall be paid until a sworn and properly itemnized statement of actual expenses-ghal] be duly filed with the Auditor General,” was voted down—60 yeas to 87 nays. Mr. Ly- tle; of Huntingdon County—Hon. P. M. Lytle—gave it as his opinion that Mr. Kea- tor’s proposition “looked Like-an attempt to impeach the integrity of the members of committees.” Eighty-seven members took the like view. This is equivalent to a plea of “not .gullty” after being caught in the ac Making Foreign Dollars. From the Philadelphia Reoord. It ig not generally khown that the Unfted States mints make money for other nations, as well as fof our Own. The mint in this city, which has just finishisd making $500,000 in five-dollar gold. pleces for Cost+ Rioa, has begun work on 300,000 silver dollaré for Ban Domingo. The designs on the coins are often Meas of the governments which send the omiers, end are got up in such a way as to make imitations as difficult es possi- ble for the counterfeiter. The coin is shipped in bags. to New York, where ft i« carried to its destination on the regular line eteamers, The report given by the mint as to the amount of precious metal] used is never questioned by the foreigners. An Old-Time Engine. From the Russéliville (Ky.) Herald. Our fire engine recently celebrated its 66th birthday. This remarkable piece of machinery was made at Pawtucket, R. I. in the year A. D. 1841, It requires fifty men and five gallons of water to start it going, and fifty more men and five gallons of whisky an hour to keep it going, On the occasion of jts birthday it was put on ex- hibition In the public equare. It throws a stream of water as big as a man’s arm almost as high as the second-story winu w of the Gourt-nouse, Mr. Lease Vindicatea. From the KAnsas City Journal. Now comés the triith—the tardy but awful truth! Mary Ellen's advent into politics was not only a pit-up job between Charlus and her, but the idea was dctually sug- gested and urged by the man. The Eden episode was reversed. He saw her value firet, and the woman of vitriol was a de- liberate exploitation of a family agreement, not the fin de slealé product of a domestic evolution. The Great Glut in Wool. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

MEN OF MARK. Congressman Updegraff of Iowa is known at home as ‘““Toadstool Tom,” because of his exhaustive knowledge of mushrooms. Sir Edwin Arnold, having wearied of Jap- anese mus¢ums, is now writing poetically {nm the Daily Telegraph of African monkeys. Chaplain Henry Masterman, an old vet- eran of the Grand Army in Lincoln, Neb., Is probably the only man in America who at- ‘tended the wedding of Queen Victoria as a guard of honor. Pope Leo’s long life is truly miraculous if the London Daily News’ account of his usual dinner is correct. ‘‘His faithful valet serves him with a light vegetable soup, two fried pumpkins, a morsel of veal or fowl and half a glass of Bordeaux.” WOMEN OF NOTE. The French Republic provides for ex-Em- press Eugenie a constant bodyguard in the person of a Corsican, whose service dates from her own reign. He “shadows” her faithfully at a distance to protect her life in her frequent. walks. Mrs. Harriette Gross Cozzino of New York has secured a patent for a theater hat rest, It is known as “The Happy Thought.” Mrs. Hetty Green, who is known as the richest woman in America, has returned from Chicago, where she has,been for some time on business, to her summer home at Bellows Falls, Vt. There ig still living in quiet retirement in a pretty villa in one of thé outlying quar- ters of Aberdeen, a daughter of James Hogg, the Ettrick shepherd.

Your eorrespondent p’’ is welcome to usé his vacation tramping about Mis- eouri, to get better acquaintéd with its natural beauties. He says he has been reading Charles Lummis’ book, “A Tramp Across the Continent.” Now I have been perusing J. M. Bartie’s little book, “A Hol- iday dn Bed,” and think he has just struck it. I believe I shall spend my vacation in bed. Several things have conspired to tire me out of late. I am still tired from the ex- ertion I made trying to save the country last November. I am tired waiting for Mé- Kinley’s brand of prosperity, I am tired waiting for Congress to d6 something with the teriff bill. And, besides, my sixth baby is cutting his teeth. Yes, I shall spend my vacation fn da, Read Barrie’s book and you will see ther is nothing like a holiday between the sheets. St. Louis, June 30.: SNOOZER. Union Depot Elevator. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I hope ex-Gov. Francis is a true prophet and that St. Louis will soon have a re- vival of the grain business that will make better business conditions for everybody. But why do not the elevator men of this city, whom such a revival would most di- rectly benefit, see to it that the big Union Depot Elevator is repaired. For the credit of the oity this elevator should be repaired without more delay. St. Louis, June 30. CITIZEN. Swimming Baths, To the Ed'‘tor of the Post-Dispatch. You have hit the nail on the head in ad- vocating swimming baths as the next great improvement in St. Louis. They are badly needed. During the hot weather, when one feels as if half his life could be spent in the water, there is nothing but the bath-tub to satisfy one’s longing. It would be easy to dig swimming baths in the parks, fence them in, p bathing-houses and have the w in from the city mains at o out at the other. Thousands advantage of them, and a sma fee could be charged that would soon reimburse the city for the expenditure. Se te Bt. Louis, June 30. A “Dumb Brute’s” Home. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I see that a number of ladies are interest- ing themselves in trying to get a home built for helpless brutes of all kinds, especially dogs and horses. I think they have set themselves too big a task. A home for lost dogs would be a good thing, but to include old horses and other animals would be absurd, It would necessitate the “home’”’ being out In the country, as it would need a good-sized field, | ae eae at: . +PLE: | io addition ters, There is a London, owners of d > buy a dog cheap.

Soon after the rain has ceased, thé pave- ments begin to show dry spots this hot weather. Soon the entire pavement is dry. From feeling cool to thé touch, the entire pavement fs, in an hour or two, as hot as the top of an oven. Then is the time for the merchant to send out a mah with the hose ané thor oughly wet down the pavement. The hottest part of town is in the narrow business streets these days. The tempera. ture there could be reduced several de grees by a wholesale flushing of the side- walks and pavements two or three times a day. Besides, it would lay the dust. St. Louis has plenty of water. Why not make good use of it? It could not be put to a better use than tn helping us to keep cool during hot spells. A few degrees less heat might save many from becoming vio- tims of heat prostration. Wet down the pavements. St. Louls, June 2B. DOWN TOWN. Sovereign on Debs. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Sovereign’s condemnation of Debs’ schemé shows once more how impossible it is for these so-called labor leaders to agree. Each is more intent on jumping on the others than: on fighting the battles of the working- man. There is this difference between these two leaders, however, that whereas the workingmen appear to be willing. to follow Debs to any extremes, they showed in the great Pullman strike that they 1 néither follow nor obey Sovereign. All hé has ever done so far in the labor world is to rant. St. Louis, June 28. OBSERVER, Free School Book Question. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It may be true, as the Board of Health suggests, that danger lurks in free school books, in the way of possible infection. But I think the necessity of extendihg an edu- cation to as many poor children as possible is more important than such possible dan- ger. In fact, so keen is competition becoming In these days, that it may even be looked upon as a matter of life or death for a member of the coming generation to get as good an edu- cation as possible. For my part, were I a boy, and aware of the importance of being educated, I would gladly risk the possibil- ity of infection for the sake of getting a good set of school books. These are part of the means for equipping a youth for ‘his battle in life, The children of parents unable to supply them with books should be provided with free books, and they should not be ashamed in being thus provided.

LIKE A WILD BEAST. An Eight-Year-Old Boy Who Looks and Acts Like a Little Demon. Crouched in a corner of the observation ward at the City Hospital, like an untamed beast in captivity, 8-year-old August Beth- ege gives vent to demoniacal frenzy. Mur- der is his hobby. As told in the Post-Dispatch Tuesday, the Bethege boy appears to be a victim of hereditary insanity. His father’s mad work has resulted in the elaying of one man—ex-Policeman Mahon—and the wound- ing of several others. The murderous in- stinct In the boy is abnormally developed. Dr. Sutter, Superintendent of the City Hos- pital, says the case is in many respects re- markable. Physicians frequently discover hereditary ‘insanity, but such aggravated cases as that of the Bethege boy are rare. Yet, there is a possibility that he may bo cured. When the youngster was taken to the hos- pital Tuesday, he was extremely violent. Subsequently he became comparatively calm. The insane boy was seated on a cot Wednesday morning. As a Post-Dispatch reporter approached, he sprang from the cot and assumed a defensive attitude in a cor- ner of the room. ‘Take that man away’!’’ the boy exclaimed. addressing one of the attendants. A furious frown covered h‘'s face. His eyes flashed madly. With clinched fists he sprang to- ward thc reporter. Then he attempted to scratch the face of the guard who stood near him. He kept up a continuous chatter—sim- ply an incoherent conglomeration of words. The boy is not lacking In vocabulary: He can use adjectives in a manner that would excite the envy of John J. Ingalls. The general appearance of the youth Is frightful. There is sOmething about him suggestive of the lower animals. In general form, shape and outline of features his face is gorilla-like. The low, reced.ng forehead, the prominent nose and mouth and the pe- cullarly formed lips indicate that the proc- ess of evolution was arrested in the Bethege boy. The wicked flash in his ever-shifting, bead-like eyes gives him a dangerous Jook. He labors under the halluc'nation that he is oe persecuted by enemies—thinks they are in hot pursuit. Thus he is alert and al- Ways ready to assume a defensive attitude. His vioience is periodical. Sometimes for several hours he remains quiet. He is well built for an 8-year-old and when in a frenzy it taxes the strength of the attendants to handle him. He is not strapped down for the reason that such pro- cedure would agitate him and aggravate his malady. A guard—and sometimes two—stay by him constantly. ‘There is no doubt that the boy’s derange- ment is hereditary,’ said Dr. Sutter. ‘‘He is suffering from acute dementia. There is some hope of his recovery; yet. it is by no means certain. We frequently have heredi- tary cases, but it is seldom that we have such a patient as this boy. His mental fac- ulties are remarkably abnormal. He is in better condition than he was yesterday.” INSULTED WOMEN. Paul Martin Fined $50 for Demon- strating a Curious Phase of Perversion. Paul Martin’s trial in Judge Peabody's court Thursday developed a curious phase of perversion. He was charged with dis- turbing the peace. Dr. Harry Floyd, who has an office in the Union Trust building, was walking along Broadway Wednesday afternoon when his attention was attracted to Martin, who was walking slowly along the street in front of him. The sidewalks were thronged with fashionably-attired women, and Dr. Floyd observed Martin brush close up against a knot of women shoppera several times in a peculiar manner. Twice the doctor observed women whom Martin had just passed suddenly become greatly agitated and frightened, and look- ing around after the fellow, while they conversed in excited whispers. . Dr. Floyd quickened his pace and over- took Martin. He kept a close watch on him, unobserved. He discovered that when Martin met a good-looking woman he would place his hands on her in an offensive man- ner. Dr. Floyd was boiling with rage at the fellow’s audacity, and at first thought of personally chastising h!m. Then he de- termined to have him arrested. He follow- ed him to Union Station before he met a policeman, There he had Patrolman Thomp- son arrest Martin. It was impossible to get the testimony of any of the women Martin insulted, but on Dr. Floyd's testimony he was fined $0. He made no defense. . 7 \ BUYS A WINTER HOME =e Oe Olmey SC MRS. JAMES J. O’FALLON AC- QUIRES THE BELLEVUE ESTATE ON THE MISSISSIPPI. SOUND. It Is One of the Most Noted and Beauti- ful Demesnes in the . ww South. Mrs. James J. O’Fallon of 3639 Olive Street, has purchased the magnificent “Bellevue” estate, at Pasca-Goula, Miss. Efforts here have been made to keep the transaction private, as the O’Fa'lon family were not of one mind on the purchase. Mrs. O'Fallon admitted her investment to a Post- Dispatch reporter, although she would not disclose any of the deiails. The estate is the finest on the Mississippi sound. The palatial residence alone cost $32,000. %t is fitted with a private gas plant and other conveniences befitting a royal lodge. There are stables for twenty horses, a fine kennel, spacious barns and paddocks, five cottages for employes, everything in fact that constitutes an ideal Southern home. About the residence are 160 acres of the finest parkland in Mississippl. On the estate is a magnolia grove that is known throughout the South. There is an imperial mognolia tree on the summit of\a mound, that can be seen for miles around. In another section of the estate is a mag- nificent grove of live oaks, renowned from New England to Texas. the estate became residential, ship-builders from as far away as Maine went to the place for massive timbers to use in build- ing ships. Before the war the estate was the ren- dezvous of the aristocracy of the South. Probably through fear of yellow fever, to which the vicinity is exposed, although it has never appeared on the estate, the O’Fallon family opposed the purchase. They refuse to discuss their attitude. Mrs. O’Fallon was set on acquiring the property as soon as she set eyes on it. The negotiations were carried on by her nephew, Mr. Arthur Conway Thornton, whd is now in charge of the estate. Mrs. O’Fallon eontemplates usin the estate onfty as a winter residence, though its proximity to the coast makes it a de- lightful summer resort. t. Louis society will receive the announce- ment of the purchase with lively interest, The O’Fallons are royal entertainers and Bellevue will be regarded as the prospective scene of many delightful house-parties dur- ing the coming winter. THE PAN-ANGLICANS. Westminster Abbey Filled, Though Admission Was by Ticket. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 1.—The services this morn- ing at Westminster Abbey, as a feature of the preliminaries of the Pan-Anglican con- ference, were simple but impressive. Over fifty archbishops and bishops océupied the sanctuary, flanked by two hundred of the minor clergy in vestments, and although admission was by ticket, every seat In the main body of the famous structure Was oc- cupied. The service followed the usual ritual of morning prayer and the celebration of the holy communion, special prayers being offered for Christian unity and the bringing of all sects within the fold of one church, To-night the delegates to the conference will leave for a visit to the landing place of st.

A mad bulldog, with hanging tongue and frothing mouth, created more excitment in the bad lands on Chestnut street, just east of Jefferson avenue, Wednesday afternoon, than will be furnished all of the rounders who visit that section in a month, Not since John Thomas Brady chased “Spokane” with a hatchet, and then ex- plained to the officers that “me and Spo- kane was just playing tag,”’ has the district been in such a turmoll, and for an hour after the dog was shot the timid young things who have their being in the neighbore hood were not able to resume their cigar ettes and solitaire. The dog was the property of Rose &. Clair, who runs a sin-tarnished joint in the block. It was a magnificent specimen of the English bull, and was greatly admired by dog fanciers. About three weeks ago the animal developed an ugly disposition and made a savage attack upon a child who was passing. The police did not know to whom the dog belonged, and the St. Cla:r woman hid the animal in the cellar to pre- vent it being shot On Wednesday after- noon the dog got loose, He first dashed upstairs in his mistress house and made for the negro porter, who was washing the hall. The negro dropped his mop: with a yell, and ran into the first room he could find, shouting that the dog was mad. The women flew into their rooms, and for several minutes the dog charged up and down the vacant bh while the inmates screamed for A large crowd gathered and asked where the dog was. e@ animal answered the query in person and scattered the crowd in about three seconds. Then he made a dash at Johnny Horan who was standing in saloon door, a Twenty-third and Chestnut. Horan is a4 dog-fancier, but he did not fancy the looks of his visitor, and vaulted over the bar to escape closer relations. The dog then took refuge in a shed in the rear of 2306 Chestnut street. A small boy sneaked up and shut the door. He leaned up against it and shouted for help, fearing that if he stopped pushing the dog would get out and catch him. atrolmen Kohrs and Healy came to the boy's rescue, They borrowed Horan’s 44-caliber ‘“‘can- non” and started to exterminate the dog. They were afraid to open the door, and Kohrs peeped through a knot-hole. He located the ce crouched In a dark corner. The long-pistol barrel was poked through the hole, ohr took careful alm and fired. For once a policeman shot straight. The bullet pierced the brute’s heart. * Kohrs walked away with a proud strut, and in a few hours Chestnut street re- sumed its normal condition. A CLEAN SWEEP.

Like the melancholy Jacques, leaning against a tree trunk in the forest of Ar- | den, Jack Mason drooped his chin on his In Cincinnati ' chest, folded his arms, reclin against the sill of his dressing room door and moralized, at the Suburban Garden, about the willing- ! ness of the world to sling scandal about a man who has once given it excuse and op- portunity His pretty wife, Marion Manola, smiled, maybe a little bitterly, at his cynical phi- losophy. The circumstances ae Hs to ome potent | asons with the | experience of the Manola cruel world’s willingness to peddle ecandal is interesting. The last report regarding this much talked | of couple was that Marion and Jack had eplit, a chiefly to Marion’s physical and mentai incapacity for stage work, that Marion was in a sanitarium, and that Jack was filling all their dates with Marion's pretty 16- oo daughter as a substitute. he qualifying adverb “again’’ was tied on to the statements regarding the split and the ganitarium, which made the reports hareher, oy Mr. Mason remarked more effective 1 in their 7 pore to hurt. Mr. and Mr Diepatch send out the disclaimer when they were seen at the Suburban, where they are now playing. Their mere presence upon the stage was more than enough to stamp the reports false. Their act goes as# smoothly as it ever did since the prima donna and leading man took to the variet Manola’s voice certainly givee no sign of impairment by recent or threatene ill- ness.

I had a few drinks In the afternoon at the theater and I really wasn’t feeling like going out—not that was in no shape to go, ppreeee understand. I simply felt heady, and I realized that I would not be as good compeny as I might have been had I known of the dinner en- gagement and refrained from cooling m self with juleps. Besides, a tobacco-smo ing man, with the remnants of five or Bix nips of whisky on his breath, has got no license to breathe in the same room with ladies anyhow. “So J didn’t go to dinner. Of course, the fact was commented upon, and I suppose my wife’s embarrassed excuses were mis- construed and—oh, well, I’ve already re- marked how prone the world was to bulld sensations out of nothing. “A day or two afterward, our engage- ment having terminated, Marion went [to see her daughter, in New York, and I went to visit some of her relations, on a farm, /near Fenton, Mich. I remained. there, ac- cording to our original plans, until I joined her to aay our week here.’ Mrs. Mason smiled during her husband's ' recital of the facts in the case. She added that the reports were given color to by the man who, until a day or two ago, had been their booking agent in New York. If any- body was a candidate for a sanitarium, Mrs. Mason intimated the booking agent was. The Manola-Masons are still a loving and ‘a handsome pair. They show that they've touched elbows with the thoughtless world more in the tired, resigned way they dis- cuss the escapades ascribed to them than by any other sign. Artistically they are th same as ever. Manola’s voice is as tunefu (as inthe old McCaul) days.

The general appropriation dill is to be in- troduced in the Assembly next Tuesday. For several days the joint Ways and Means Committees of the Council and House of Delegates have been holding daily sessions and working on the bill. The amounts recommended by Comptroller Sturgeon for the various departments have, in many instances, been greatly cut. The money thus saved is to be added to the Street Department appropriation, for the alleged purpose of making provision for ex- tensive street improvements. When the time comes for making up the @nnual appropriation bill the heads of de- partments and other city officials send to the Comptroller estimates of their needs for the current year. The aggregate is always two or three times greater than the total _ @stimated revenue. It is, therefore, neces- Sary to scale them down. This work is ne by First Assistant Comptroller Ga- is figuring this year was unusually because on account of last year’s tor- mado there will be a great falling off in revenue. But he has not figured close enough to uit the members of the committee. So far ey have made great@ reductions than cre petore in nearly all the departments p. The most important cuts are as follows: mea ag ry from $10,391 to $7,389; Four urts, $12, to $9,060; Board of Public Im- rovements, $68,000 to $66,280; fund for num- ng houses, $2,900 to $2,280; Jury. Commis- oner, $14,000 to $12,000; Law Department, 700 to $13,200; Recorder of Deeds, $25,000 yee Fire Alarm Telegraph, $25,000 to ; Bire Department, $90,000 to $85,000.

NOVEL USE TO WHICH ELECTRIC- ITY IS NOW BEING PUT. POETRY IN THE TREATMENT. ‘Finger Nails and Toe Nails Are Also Rendered Beautiful by Means of the Subtle Fluid. . In the top perch of a big office building are offices where lightning is chained for the treatment of corns. The subtle fluid that Ben Franklin brought down from. the clouds is also used for paring toe nails and finger nails and for removing the callous flesh that gathers near the “‘half moons of ivory white which should show a delicate flush of pink beneath.” . Not that electricity ts used directly In the treatment, but it sets in motion numerous little wheels and grindstones in miniature that do the business. St. Louls lays claim to being the only city where feet and hands are made free from pain and beautified in this. manner and a St. Louisan is the inventor of the instruments that are brought into play. He told a reporter for the Post-Dispatch Wednesday that he Intended applying for a patent this week. He is O, W. Smith, who for a score of years was employed.in one of the leading shoe stores in the city. It was while working there that the idea came to him to fit up a place in a large building where fair customers could enter as if visiting a lawyer’s or other business man’s office and thus be saved the annoy- ance of entering a place where a large foot placed in a show case at the window indi- cates to those who see them enter the ob- ject of thelr visit. About this time—when Mr. Smith dis- cussed in his mind the advisability of such an innovation—he was being treated at a dentist's, and he thought it would not be a bad idea to apply the Httle emery and pumice stone wheels he saw in use there to treatment of other extremities of the body than the head. So he began experi- menting and the result seems to be a suc- cess. From al! accounts some of the swellest maids and matrons now visit the place and bare their pretty pink toes for treatment by the whirling wheels that are revolved by means of electricity. There is r comfortable waiting-room, an operating-room, and both are taetily fur- nished, and while a damsel is reclining on a couch in the inner apartment and the operator is busy a soothing hum its heard and one who knows is aware that little pieces of w-slese flesh are being worn away . 8 will not hurt her n. & poetry even in the paring lemonstrated by the man who work! of his instrumente. the writer to glance throu uich Is generally termed the door’ while his assistant ligegead €6lupon one who had or t.

By the ald of the rapidly revolving wheels I can cut away the flesh until one can almost see the blood, and yet there is not the slightest pain. It would seem to meé that frequent application of this treatment would restore circulation through the. tis- sues and that would cause the corn to dis- appear.’’ The reporter was then shown into the op- erating room, where there are cases con- taining different sized wheels and other ap- pliances used in this swell corn-paring es- tablishment. Mr. Smith placed a wheel of umice stone in the vise-like point that pro- ected from the long tube leading from the electrical machine and _ turnin a lever pressed it against the writer's hand. In a second there was a white fleck, like unto a smal! blister, and a burning sensation. “One does not fee] that when a corn Is being treated,” said the operator, “‘for the flesh is dead, nor is it noticeable when the nails are being pared,” and he applied the inetrument to suit action to the words, Even as he spoke the roughness at the end was worn away and what one might call a delicate beveled edge was left. “Now, with this wheel of chamois skin,’’ he said. “‘one can give a beautiful tint to the nails,"’ and he placed another in posi- tion, using it as he had the first, with a result that was ee Mr. Smith then delved further Into the mysteries of what might be termed his cabinet and brought forth a curious assort- ment of wheels.

St. Louis Can Get Pan If She Wants Him, but He’s Not a Beauty. ‘~ T Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 1—The 8t. Louls Park Commissioners will probably not be op- posed by the Park Commissioners of this city when they endeavor to secure for For- est Park the statue of Pan. This statue was offered the city of New York upon condition that it be located in the western side of the park. It had been the property of the Clark heirs for years, and, as they held property to the west of the park, it was their desire that the statue be on that side. The Park Commissioners sub- mitted the statue to thelr critic, the Ameri- can Sculpture Socitey, on purely artistioe questions, and it reported the statue worthy of being accepted. Then they asked the Superintendent if he could find a sultable site for it on the west side and he reported adversely. The board indorsed the Superine tendent’s report. No other proposition has come from the Clark heirs and it is not known what they propose to do. Park Commissioner Stiles to.d me to-day that the board had not received any com- munication from St. Louis on the subject. It will be unable to figure itn the matter, as ft has neither possession of nor control over the statue. Mr. Silles is in doubt about the board ever finding a suitable place in Central Park for . He thinks it a fine plece of work, not specially one to appeal to Americans, and that an inclosed court would be a more proper setting for it than an open park. The statue ‘ia quite large and represents Pan reclining, with hoofs hanging over the base and it hack, making it a not too pleasing sight for one not te to a great degree. THEY ARE RECONCILED.

COLUMBUS, O., July 1—The State Demo- cratic Convention ‘adjouthed last night after nominating the following ticket: Governor—Horace Lh Chapman of Jack- son County, Lieutenant Governor—Melville D. Shaw of Auglaize. Supreme Judge—John P. Spriges of Mon- roe. Attorney H. Dove of Genetfal—Wm | Seneca, Treasurer—James F. Wilson of Trumbull. Member Board of Public Works—Peter H. Degnan of Lucas. School Commissioner—M. E. Hard of Co- lumbiana. The platform is for free silver, against the trusts and in favor of Cuba. The ticket is a compromise, especially on Governor, Hough was McLean's choice, but with- drew under fire of the county delegations. McLean is the choice for United States Senator though it is understood that Paul J. Sore will also enter the field. No Silver Republican or Populist was put on the ticket. There is some dissatisfaction by those parties and there is talk of separate conventions, but fusion may yet be effected. Three cheers were given for William J, Bryan, but he was not formally indorsed for President in 1900. THE SENATE, Cotton Bagying, alas Grain Sacks cf Burlaps, Jute and Hemp Bags on the Free List. WASHINGTON, July 1—The ntar approach of the completion of the tariff bill was re- ferred to in the opening prayer to-day by Rev. Hugh Johnson, who said: “We recog- nize Thy hand in this work of commercial legislation now near completion in So short a period of Congressional history. Wet Thee for the courage, the dist and the generosity exhibited Representatives, and that par feelings and local interests have dinated to the expressed will of the majority in this legislation." The Senate placed on the free list cotton bagging, burlaps, grain sacks made of bur- laps and other yess made of jute or hemp. Yeas, 80; nays, The House.

Hopkins Says the Senate Clause Is Un- constitutional. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 1.+Congress- man Hopkins of Illinois said to-day that the reciprocity feature of the tariff bill adopted by the Senate yesterday is unconstitutional. He says that the Senate provision delegates powers to the President which should re- main in Congress. When + bill goes to conference, an effort will be made to strike out the Senate clause and tnsert the recli- procity paragraph prepared by Mr. Hopkins, when the bill was in the House. Anti-Scalping Bill Shelved. WASHINGTON, July 1.—The Interstate Commerce Committee of the Senate consid- ered the anti- “scalping bill, but owing to the absence of several members of the commit- tee no vote: was reached, It is probable that, owing to the near aproach of adjourn- ment, no further effort will be made to mot the bill reported. It is also probable that there will not be anothér meeting of the committee this session, and the pool- ing bill will also go over. SENOR RIVERA IS SILENT.

I was big and tall, had dark hair and a dark mustache and owned a deep bass voice with which I delighted to sing ‘Rocked In the Cradle of the Deep.’ in seven years I played the villain in over 200 dramas and melodramas, and this line of characters finally became so distasteful to me that I stopped playing them alto- gether.’ IF IT EVER STOPS RAINING Max Luttbeg Will Try to Throw “‘Den- ver Ed” Smith. “From the game I am up against In St. Louis, I don’t know whether I am a wrestler or not,” said Max Luttbeg, Amer- ica’s champion middleweight wrestler, to a Post-Dispatch reporter. Luttbeg is the star of the programme of a summer roof garden, and nothing but bad luck has followed his appearance, The first night he walked upon the stage, threw an ambitious amateur in about six seconds, and announced he would nightly meet all comers and forfeit $0 for each fall gotten off him. “Denver Ed” Smith, the heavy weg’ pugilist, was in the audience. He needed about $50, and from his seat accepted Lutt- ber'’s challenge. he next night rain flooded the roof gar- den, washed all the paint off t.e scenery and the little stage, and floated off the chairs. Rain fell every evening after that, ust before the performance should have egun, and there has been no show since. Luttbeg tells a funny story of a bout he had with Duncan Ross at the Standard a year ago. Those who saw the contest say it was a most laughable exhibition. Ross weighed about 240 pounds. He looked like Gulliver with a Lilliputian as he stood by Luttbeg, and was roundly hissed for the very im- mensity of his aggregation of bowels, flesh and bones. “Hiss away, you snakes!’’ yelled Ross at the audience, and that made the crowd worse. Luttbeg got Ross to the mat and on his hands and knees. The Canadian’s girth was so great that Luttbeg couldn't make his hands meet around him, and was un- able to use the hammer lock, a full Nelson or even a half Nelson. As the crowd saw Ross’ size alone Was saving him they guyed Ross unmercifully. Despite his great size the little fellow after scheming for ten minutes, slipped his left fist into Ross’ arm pit, passing his arm over the big fellow’s neck until the elbow of it rested on the giant’s Adam’s apple. With his right hand the little fellow got a grip on Ross’ other shoulder and turned him over. Both of Ross’ shoulders were on the mat, the referee touched Lutt- beg and the match was over. —=~_——(i rie he struck at Martin twice with his s Mrs. Martin, Welr’s aister, testified against her brother, saying he had fre- quently threatened to kill her husband. TOOK ROUGH ON RATS. Wife Quarrels With Her Husband and Attempts Suicide, Mrs. James Miller of 11388 North Second street tried to end her life Wednesday night by taking rough on rats. She quarreled with her husband about the amount of money he allowed her. He re- plied it was as much as he could spare. She upbraided him about being so poor a workman, and left the room. Miller left the house. About 10:30 o’clock he returned and found the room dark. In searching for._a match he stumbled over his wife's body on the floor. She was unconscious, and a tially emptied package of rodent extinguisher on the table told the story. Miller ran to the Fourth District Police Station for assistance.

T. U. Dr. Gn. Claims That It Will Intoxi-. cate as Effectually as Moun- tain Dew. A DRACHM OF ALCOHOL FORMED BY EVERY GLASS OF CHERRY PHOSPHATE. Sugar and Yeast Corode the Insides of Those Who Take the Temp- erance Tipple. There are twenty-five gaudily-painted, in- yiting drinking fountains on as many cor- ners, at intervals of three blocks, in the down-town districts. They are maintained by the good ladies ef the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and are looked upon by the fair enthusiasts as their strongest ally in the Ognt against the demon rum. The fountains contain what the ladles call a “delicious, purely medicinal, healthful, non-alcoholic beverage, guaranteed harm. less to the sma!iest child.” A penny dropped into a slot at the front of the fountain starts this ambrosia flowing procures for the purchaser half a pint of liquid innocuousness. Now oomes forward one of those trouble- as only five drams of alcohol, so according to Dr. Garcia’s figures five glasses of the W. C. T. U. temperance drink would do the work of one glass of whisky. This opens up a rich field to the thirsty but impecunious speculator. The fountain drink sells for 1 cent a glass, As five phosphatés equal one whisky, 5 cents will buy the requisite five drams of alcohol, which purchased over a bar would cost 16 cents. Now the hobo who does the looker-on act from the Court-house steps can get the nickel dropped into his hand by the portly Judge changed into pennies, hit the fountain five times and lay the foundation for a jag. When the kind old lady seen most often in the comic papers drops a nickel into Woeful Willies hand and says she hopes he won’t spend it for strong drink, Willie can resort to the “retort Court-house” and assure her that he will dring nothing stronger than the W. Cc. T. U. fountain tipple. Dr. Garcia says that though the sugar is injurious it alone would not result in the formation of alcohol. He says that lemon- ade and iced tea are much safer summer drinks than any of the phosphates. Other physicians corroborated the state- ment that yeast and sugar almost invari- ably form alcohol in the stomach. Dr. Sutter, Superintendent of the City Hospital, says that in performing oper- ations he has often found alcohol in the stomachs of patients who he knew had not would not discuss the effects of summer drinks, saying that he knew nothing of their composition, and that it would be manifestly unfair to criticse them unless he had made an analysis. Mrs. F. H. Ingalls, President of the W. C. T. U., sald: ‘We had two Objects tn placing the foun- tains on the streets. We desired to furnish a refreshing, harmless drink, which would | keep men out of the saloons, and, besides, we hoped to make é¢nough money to pag the indebtedness incurred in entertain- ing the last national convention.

UNIQUE FAMILY REUNION IN NORTH ST. LOUIS. MRS. CARNEY’S OFFSPRING. Eldest Nearly 98, the Youngest 8 and All Will Meet at 1117 Gano Avenue. There will be a unique gathering at 1117 Gano avenue within a few days. Mrs. Ar- thur Carney is coming to St. Louis from Kansas City. The fact that she has passed her 87th birthday makes no difference when such a short railroad trip is coftcerned and she has notified her numerous relatives she will certainly be present. Mrs. Carney’e advent at the above num- ber will bring five generations under one roof; and it will be as unique a gathering as was ever witnessed in St. Louis. When the venerable matron, who is hale and strong in epite of her age, sits down at table she will leok wpon her daughter, who is herself a great-grandmother, and at thé foot of the board she will see two lusty youngsters who are five times removed from her on the genealogical tree. This is proof of what the soll of New Jersey can do when the product thereof is nourished by the glorious climate of Mis- souri, Long before the battle of Waterloo was fought Mrs. Arthur Carney was a young lady. She was born several months be- fore Father Time closed his accounts with the year 1799 and eo she may be considered not of this century, so far as birth is con- idered. What her maiden name . might ave been igs not remembered by those at 1117 Gano avenue. Indeed there are s0 many branches of the family and so many élatives alive that they have given up any opes of trying to keep count of the num. bers, far less of all the names. t is known that the birthplace of Mrs, ney was a village near Trenton and that her husband, rthur, was her age. They were married when both were quite a ng, in fact not long after the war of of which the eldest member of the family retains a vivid memory. At the time that Napoleon Bonaparte was eetting all Europe ablaze Mr. and Mrs. Carney and several children started for what was then a wilderness and located in Iowa. They remained there until just before the Civil War, during which time two more pice came into being and then moved to Missouri, where yet another two have sprung forth. , Amother remarkable fact in connection with this family, which hae branches all over this great State, is the longevity of all the members. There are living to-day five children who were born to Arthur Car- ney and his wife, Martha, Margaret, Davi Arthur and Mary. And this brings to ligh another peculiar fact—that nearly all the women members of the family have lost their husbands and have married again. In this they have not followed the example set by the matron who is at the top of the eneological tree, for she has remained true po memory of her husband, who died n . In fact this remarrying is one reason why the inhabitants of 1117 Gano avenue cannot remember the names of many of their relatives. For instance, when telling a reporter for the Post-Dispatch about the children of the veteran couple they could not remember the names of two of them that is the mames they acquired by second marriages. They know that Martha, who is now almost an octogenarian, was once a Mrs. Brown, and that Margaret was a Mrs. Greenstreet, But it ig with the daughter Mary that this story has to deal, for it is from her that has sprung the wonderful family that now makes North St. Louis their home. Mary, lke her sisters, buried a husband and then wed another. She was first known as Mrs. Mary Lucinda Hill and is now Mrs. Mary L. Stoker. Her home is in Cherokee Coun- ty, Kansas, but she is so young and spright- ly—being but 68—that she makes frequent fiying trips to St. Louis and will be pres- ent at the reunion. It was while Mary was Mrs. Hill that a daughter, Theresa, was born and it Is The- resa who can look upward and see mother and prenécmother, and downward and see daughter and grandchildren.

When Paralysis Comes Upon Him she Takes All His Savings and Goes to Germany. Poor old Charles Karigan is dead. Penni- less after sixty years of hard labor, de- serted by the wife he married fifty years ago, who ran away with all his money, his only son in jail, death came to him as a s6i- ace in the Baptist Hospital. The doctors sald paralysis was the cause of his demise but a broken heart wae certainly one of the factors. The Karigans lived in comfortable quar- ters at the corner of Fourteenth and Mar- ket streets. The husband was a shoemaker, and had a little shop on Chestnut street, where for years he worked early and late. Mrs. Karigan was a bustling, hearty woman, who ruled the household. She was the same age as her husband, 76. Years ago, when lifé held many {nduce- ments for both of them, Karigah began to save money. ‘ “This is for our old age,” said he one day to his wife, handing her a small sum. “Keep it carefully. I'll add to it ag fast as qt oan.” | Week by week Karigan did add to the little store. Sometimes it was only a few cents and sometimes dollars. Gradually it ed to $1,600. It was entirely in the charge of Mrs, .Kerigan. “Old age is coming on fast,” said her husband. “I think the money we have saved will be enough to support wus for the rest of our days.”’ As a matier of fact old a&é had come already and with it the attendant ills, When Karigan awoke the next morning he gould not move his left arm. Paralysis ad set in, and he was almost powerless. gave thanks that his foresight in saving the money would enable him to live in comfort. “You're well enough to work,” said his wife, -as she awakened him the next morn- ung. It won't do to be idle.” : ccustomed to obéy her, Karigan started for the shop. Only one hand was available, When Mrs, John Karigan, his daughter- in-law, came into the shop later in the day, she found the shoemaker seated on hi bench with a boot between hig legs, in which he was vainly endeavor to ative some pegs. The hammer, wielded by his right hand, came down on the sole of the boot with its accustomed vigor, but the pre- cision was lacking, The dr disease wa attacking the right side of his body, and th old man‘s eyes were filled with tears. The daughter-in-law at once went to his home to remonstrate with his wife. She was packing up his things. “Charies has paralysis,”’ said ahé. “He'd ee ange to me any more and I’m going aw " While her aged husband was In vain trying to make one arm do the duty of two, she had gone to the bank and drawn out the money he had earned.
