John Godfrey’s Body Found by the Roadside Wednesday az Dawn, WAS LAST SEEN DRIVING To- WARD HOME AN HOUR AFTER MIDNIGHT. Many Circumstances Point to a Mur- der, but the Police Say Accident. The body of John W. Godfrey, age 37, was found Wednesday morning near the conduit that crosses Humbold! avenue east of the Wabash railroad racks. The neck was broken and there was a scalp wound in the back of the head. Near the body was a horse and buggy, the animal patiently waiting its master to take up the reins again. The carriage had not been turned over, so far as appearances went, nor even partly tipped. How Godfrey came to his death is a mys- tery. If he was thrown from the buggy there is nothing about the place to indi- cate it; if he was murdered no one has so far discovered a clew that the theory could be based upon, If the death was the result of violence upon the part of some one the motive was not robbery, for the man’s watch and cha.n were in his vest pocket and some change in the trousers. His revolver, however, was missing. Dennis Godfrey, father of the young man whose body is now at the Morgue, is one of the best known citizens of North St. Louis. He owned several acres of land in the vicinity of Humboldt averiue, and when the Wabash cut through the property for sidetracks he netted qu'te a sum from the railroad. Later he sold several lots at good prices, and his success Mm this line led him into the rea] estate business. He is said to be worth $100,000. John W. Godfrey was for many years a railroad clerk and worked for the Wabash and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. resulted from an accident, was taken to the Morgue. and the body »Godfrey had been working al! day tn the cornfield, owned by his father, at the edge of which his body was found. He wanted to deliver a dog to a man in Baden. His father told him he had better stay at home and rest, as he would have to work in the corn- field the next day. “That's all right, father,” said he, “T’l! be in the cornfield at 3 o’clock in the morn- ing, when {ft is cool.” His body dropped from the bugey just at | the edge of the cornfield, just half an hour before the time he intended to go to work. Julius M. Sammthman keeps a lodging- house about twenty yards west of the spot where the body was found. His wife was {!) during the night. At 2:30 o’clock tn the morn- ing he arose and went to the well to get some fresh water. Just as he was drawing it Godfrey went by in his buggy. Sammthman did not look at the buggy. It was concealed from his sight by the cov- ering to the well. He remarked to his wife when he went back to the house that some one was out driving late. He says that the horse was going at a walk. He noticed the different sound made by the wheels when they struck the little ac- clivity, where the body was found, and where the road was filled with small peb- bles. He heard no outcry and did not no- tice the sound of a fall. Godfrey’s movements, up to 1 o’clock this morning, were traced by Post-Dispatch re- porters. He left his house at 8:30 o'clock in the evening to deliver a dog to a man in North St. Lou's. In the buggy with him was George Wing, a nelghbor. After de- livering the dog, and having a long talk about dogs with the man whose property the dog was, Godfrey and Wing went to a saloon and drank some beer. Neither one was in the least Intoxicated, and they started for home before 11 o’clock. Godfrey said the night was so warm that he would take a longer drive, but Wing said he wanted to go to bed, as he had to get up early in the morning. “All right,”’ said Godfrey—they were near- ing Wing’s house—“I will let you out here and then I will drive over to Baden.” While at Badén he met several of his friends and chatted with them for an hour or so, his horse waiting for him in the road. “I saw Godfrey tn Baden about ten min- utes to 1 o’clock th's morning,” said Pa- trolman Lee Wednesday morning. “He was then sober and perfectly able to take care of .himself. Two or three men were with him.” * *Lee,” said he, ‘where can we get a drink. I want to set ‘em up to the boys.’ “Saloons are all closed out here,” I re- plied, ‘“‘you’ll have to go further in towards town.”’ “I went away then, but I heard Godfrey drive off a few moments later, I did not recognize the men who were with him, and don’t know whether anyone went with him or not.”’ Godfrey's neighbors are much excited over the case, and think that the man was mur- dered. The body was found on the left- hand side of the buggy, which was going east when It fell, so that Godfrey could not have been sitting in the usual place for | drivers.

Mrs. Forster left on the 7 o’clock train Wednesday morning for Jefferson City, and took with her Worten’s mother and aunt. She wanted them to meet the Governor, and | teli him Worten’s life story, and intended to| reinforce their pleadings with strong rea- sons that ehe and Mrs. Cassidy had pre- pared, why Worten's sentence should be commuted. The sympathy of these ladies for Worten was enlisted last February, when they went to the jail more through cur! sity than any- thing else to see what ft looked like, and in- cidentally to take a look at Arthur FE. Dues- trow, who was shortly to be hanged for the murder of his wife and child. Their guide pointed out Worten, and the ladies paused utes, led him to cut his wife’s throat in her room on North Broadway. Little further thourht wag given to Wor- ten until a day or two ago, when Mrs. Fors- ter was visiting Mrs. Cassidy, who was reading about Worten’s approaching exe- cution., “We ought to try to save that man’s life,” eaid Mrs. Cassidy, sympathetically. “And we will,”’ quickly responded Mrs. Forgter, ‘if we can get the Governor's ear. hut we have only a short time to work in.” Then these tender-hearted women went out to the Romany camp and looked up the mother of the condemned man, and it was decided that Mrs* Forster Should rise early Wednesday morning for the ostensible pur- pose of going to market, but In fact to meet Worten’s mother and aunt at the Union Btation and go with them to Jefferson City. The distressed mother and aunt were promptly on hand, and the heaviness of their hearts was lightened by the hope that Mrs. Foster might have influence with Gov. Stephens, A Posf-Dispatch reporter saw Mrs. Cas- sidy at her home, 1221 North Grand avenue, and asked her if she had received any Gurances of executive clemency. She said: “Nothing further than the Governor's reply to Mrs. Forster's letter stating that her appeal on behalf of Worten should re- ceive considerate attention. “Neither Mrs. Forster nor myself know Worten or have any interest in his fate ex- cept on the broad principles of humanity. “While I do not justify killing a human being under any circumstances, if ever a man had provocation to do murder Worten certainly had. Infidelity is not tolerated among his people, and his wife was wholly depraved. She paraded her vices before the public and for years he had tried to per- suade her to be a true woman, for there can be but little doubt that he was insanely in love with her, though she deserved no man’s love. “Worten frankly admits that he killed the woman, but he told me he did it in seilf- defense, and from the history of their joint lives I would take his word rather than hers, even if she could confront him the witness-stand.

Huebler was iclous of it, thinking it-might contain and took the letter-personally to orten and watched him open it. What Capt. Huebler thought might be poison was a new white necktle, with a pretty stripe of purple woven through it. The letter was from his sister and ad- dressed him as “Brother Andy.” The letter was almost entirely confined to encouraging Worten in his religious beltef, telling him several times that the Lord was with him always and knew his every thought.. The letter said that the writer might call on him Wednesday afternoon, and ff she did not for him to worry, that Miss Lee would be with him ta the end. The missive was signed, “Your Sister in Chr st.’’ Worten would not say who Miss Lee was and in the Sheriff's office she was known. Rev.

The preacher's vis't seemed to put Worten in a good humor, and he joked with Deputy Sheriffs Amman and Campbell about many things.

Huebler, before receiving the news of the commutation delivered to Worten a new suit of clothes of black serge, a white shirt with little black studs and a. black silk bow. These had all been asked for by Worten. He also wanted a pair of black shoes. with patent leather tips, but Capt. Huebler refused to get them for him, thinking the shoes he wore were good enough. Before being told that his sentence was commuted he ordered a sumptuous dinner to be gerved at noon. The meal was to consist of a tenderloin steak smothered in mushrooms, a pair of soft shell crabs. sliced tomatoes om ice, broiled tail of red snapper and a baked spring chicken, with iced tea, coffee and a glass of cream.

But not He con- tinued to talk in an easy and deliberate manner. The final perparations for the hanging were made Wednesday morning. Capt. Huebler, assisted by Deputy Sheriffs An- drew Langford and Eddie Becker, and watched by Sheriff Troll, olled the catch, | slides and hinges on the trap door of the scaffold in the eo yard, and Langford got the rope ready for use. A path had been made through the grass | about the jail leading from the back fail door to the ecaffold. Sheriff Troll had @O tickets for admis- sion to the hanging, but had not given any out. : Worten was resigned to his fate. He was willing to die, for he believed the Lord had called him. Worten had requested that Deputy Sheriff Joe Brockel be with him the six hours be- fore his death and sing to him. Brocke] has an exceptionally high sweet volce, and is well known as a singer. Brockel had no religious songs in his repertoire and had arranged to @eing the popular ballads, He believes that any kind of music its soul-ipepiring.

The murderer was born in Canada thirty- four years ago. He was‘a full-blooded gyp- sy and in his father’s camp wandered over the East. In his 2lst year he met in Wash- ington, D. C., Louisa Palm. The dashing young gypsy boy attracted her. The life had a novel attraction for one of her wayward character. She fas- cinated Worten and he married her. _ The Sypsy code didn’t satisfy the woman. She tired of her husband. He often had rea- Son to suspect her, but no open rupture came till they reached Ballingtown, Mo., in January, 1896. Meanwhile two children had beén born, At Ballingtown Mrs. Worten took her boys and ieft came, coming to St. Louis. Worten's camp drifted into St. Louis two They located at Easton and Newstead avenues. Worten had learned hig wife was living here and followed: her to settle their marital ‘difficulty. The rule of the gypsy race is that the unfaithful wife shali meet death. He called on her and upbraided her. She laughed at him, He threatened to kill her. Again she laughed. that his wife Sunday, March Worten had determined should return to him or die. 3, he heard she was with another man. He went to her room to kill her. She was out. He spent a little time with his children and left. On the street he met her and renewed his threats She laughed him off. Gypsy life had no attractions for her any longer. Tuesday, March 5, Worten called at his wife’s room, determined to settle their score. The woman was in bed when he called. Their greeting was cold. Mrs. Worien sent her boy out for a pitcher of beer and sat on the side of the bed with her husband. Angry words passed, for the neighbors heard them quarreling. Just what passed will never be known. The woman was cer- tainly defiant. She seems never to have realized the savage blood in her husband until he reached over and seized her by the hair, drew back her head, and with one swift sweep of the steel across her throat satisfied the law of his race. Worten ran to the street and was arrested with the blood-stained razor in his hand. The woman was powerful, and, despite her death wound, she shrieked for help #@nd groped about the room until she feli ex- hausted to the floor. There were blood tracks everywhere and the walis and door he had killed his He afterwards made a confession of his crime, but when his came, friends employed legal] talent was well defended. He was found have the imprint of her fingers. Worten first claimed full trial and sentenced to be hanged Oct. 22.

The Former-Admit That They Could Not Supply Lake Trade If Strike Spreads. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 7.—Reports re- ceived from the river mines in the Pittsburg districts indicate that there igs almost a total suspension of work in the pita to-day, and that the strike, so far as the river miners are concerned, is general, A dispatch from Monongahela City says: The bitter feeling between the river and railroad miners that has always interfered when a strike was inaugurated heretofore and prevented good results has been lost sight of, and organized, unorganized and imported miners have joined tn one faith and for one purpose. To-day there are about fifty men at work and 7,000 idle in the Mon- ongahela Valley. The few men at work in the Chamoni mine, operated by the Tide Coal Co., are working out a contract which expires this month. Yesterday a few miners were work- ing at the Ivill, Apollo, Acme, Foster and Clark mines, but nothing is belng done at these pits. to-day. Such a complete suspension of mining has not been witnessed in the Monongahela Valley before for many years. Representatives of several Central Pennsylvania and West Virginia coal con- cerns are in the city. Several operators, whose offices they had visited, said there would be no trouble in filling urgen§ orders held by the Pittsburg operators, even should the suspension here become thoroughly general. It was said that repre- sentatives of the Pennsylvania and West Virginia companies were trying to relieve local dealers of contracts. The West Vir- ginia representatives claimed their State would be able to supply the whole mar- ket during the strike, but could not at- tempt to ship to the lakes. According to the miners’ officials, the sus- pension in the railroad mines is almost as complete as it is along the rivers. All the larger mines except those of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Co., they claim, are idle to-day. Among the works forced to close down by. the refusal of the diggers to work are the Panhandle mines of M. A. Hanna & Co., Beadling Bros., Robbins Co. and the Pitts- burg and Chicago Gas Coal Co. According to President Dolan’s figures, not more than 3,000 men are at work in the dis- trict to-day. Most of these are employed in the mines of the New York and Cleveland Co., and they will have them out before the end of the week. He claims a large number of men quit work there yesterday and to-day. This morning he sent word to the various mem- bers of the district committee, and extraor- dinary efforts will be made to induce thé men still working to come out, “IT think,’’ said Dolan, “that before the week is over you will find that there is very little Pittsburg coal golng out.” These views are not entertained by the operators, who still assert that more men are working than have laid down their picks, It is positively asserted that, notwith- standing Dolan’s statements that all the men are out at the mines of the Pittsburg and Chicago Company, twenty-elght cars were loaded at the mines yesterday and twenty-five cars to-day. If this is true the company must have nearly a full comple, ment of men, as one miner is supposed to dig about four tons of coal per day. Do- lan’'s statement that the Beadling mines were idle were also pronounced untrue by the officials of the Beadling Company. The mines, they said, are running as usual.

Three days he tolled with might and main, and many a man he slew, then, like the bard of old, he sought “fresh flelds and pastures new.” With looks ferocious then he struck the town of William Penn, and lit into the grewsome task of killing off the men. He never lost a minute, for he yearned for human gore. The sight of blood had crazed him, and he sighed for more end more. He got right down to business and, woon his opening day, a dozen men his record was in Phil-a-del-phi-a.

His wrath was unabated, and long he labored to destroy the men whom much he hated.

Louls {is to-day the only large city in the United States that can able summer resort in the land. In all other great centers of population people are wilting, under the scorching heat, which extends from the Pacific to the Atlantic seaboard. Here tn St. Louis it Is doubtful if there has been one case of death from true sun- stroke since the heated term began. In Chicago, the boasted summer play- ground of the great iniand seas, with its much advertised breeze from the lake, the number of deaths from heat has exceeded the record of any other American city. Up to Tuesday the deaths tn Chicago 4di- rectly attributable to heat footed up the appalling total of 33%. On Monday the Cook County Coroner and his deputies were kept busy holding inquests on the bodies of the unfortunates slain by the 6un in the three preceding days. Mortality among infants and chfldren was terrifying. Babies died in their cra- dles and children sank helplessly to death in their play. Under the withering power of the sun atrong men reeled and fell in the streets, men and women became crazed, breaking up their furnjture and assaulting the members of their families. The number of prostrations which did not and have not yet resulted fatally {s almost beyond computation. Hundreds of persons were taken to their homes by friends and cared for, and reports of their condition have not reached the health officers. It Is almost certain that later information will swell the mournful list of the dead. Observer Frankenfield of this city was in Chicago last Sunday, and he says he never suffered so much from heat as he did then, At one of the summer gardens on the lake shore, at night, the thermometer registered #) degs. Lake Michigan itself lay dead and calm, and contributed to the general euffer- ing by adding its humidity to an atmos- phere already laden almost to the point of saturation. Chicago is indeed in these hot days a stricken town. Bunday night a thunderstorm gave temporary relief, but as the high tem- perature prevaila everywhere in the north, west and south, there may be yet more and greater suffering for the city by the lake, In Cincinnati e number of deaths from sunstroke has not been #o great as in Chi- truthfully say that it ie the safest and most comfort- shriveling and dying | at 7 ‘ “tl | a » Fat ol iy, \ \\ “OH, I DON’T ENOW. IT AIN’T SO WARM!” one deathe from heat were recorded for the hot wave up to Monday night and thirteen of these occurred Monday. No traditions of the Ohio city recall such a scorching as has been experienced there in the last week. Sunday broke all records, the mer- cury rising to 110 deg. in the shade. All the rural resorts were deserted. The etreet cars moved empty over the lonesome highways; even the bicycle riders remained indoors, and yet the people drooped and died. Thir- ty per cent of the total prostrations in Cin- cinnati resulted in death. Ordinary rules of modesty and propriety were disregarded. Men, women and chil- dren lay half nude itn doorwaye and on porches, trying to escape the torridity of their rooms and find sleep in such cooling airs as heaven might waft them. From everywhere come reports of death and suffering from the intense heat. At Springfield, O., a.battalion of colored in- fantry gave a dress parade. Ten men fell unconscious in the ranks and 0Oothers dropped to the ground while marching. Three persons have died from heat Fort Wayne, Ind. Three persons died near Wheeling, W.

Thirty; , going on all around her, how has St. Louis fared during the heated term? Up to Tues- day night there had been seven deaths re- ported, which will go on the mortuary record as the result of heat stroke, Four of these occurred in June and three in July. The number of prostrations has been com- paratively emall, those treated at the City Hospital being only twelve, none of which proved fatal, and those treated at the City Dispensary being about the same number. While the seven deaths will be reported as having been caused by heat, there is no room for douht that most, if not all of them, were not true cases of sunstroke. Dr. Jordan of the City Dispensary says that in the majority of instances the heat simply acted as an accessory to such diseases as malarial fever, or to aggravate cases where- in alcoholic stimulants had been indulged in. In the month of June only six cases of prostration came to the Dispensary, none of which was serious, and two-thirds of them were caused by drunkenness, Incidentally it may be said that Dr. Jordan has discarded the heroic treatment of ice bags and ice water baths,in cases of heat prostration. There are two recognized forms of heat prostrations. One is heat exhaus- tion; the other sunstroke. In both the general appearance of the patient is much the same. In heat exhaustion the patient's ST. LOUISANS ARE HAPPY IF IT IS HOT Here Sunstrokes Are Rare and . None Is | Fatal. — } temperature is below the normal, and he readily recovers after the administration of stimulants and a quiet rest. In the case of sunstroke, where the tem- perature runs to 108 or 110, the present prac- tice at the City Dispensary is to place the patient in a bath tub filled with water from a hydrant, the temperature of which is not below 50 degs., and let him remain there 15 minutes. If at the end of that time -his temperature is not declining, he ts taken out and wrapped in a sheet wrung out of cold water. tafe minutes his temperature has not fallen, he is put back in the bath tub, and the operations are repeated until favorable results are obtained. Dr. Jordan says he has seen victims of heat killed by the shock of the ice and cold water treatments. Dr. Jordan said that as long as the nights were such that people could sleep there was really no danger from heat except to drunk- ards. Doctors are practically agreed as to the cause of this city’s immunity from fatali- tiles due to the heated term. Observer Frankenfield holds that the late cold spring was a materia] factor In keeping down the rate of prostrations, as it gave an oppor- tunity to prepare for the heated season. He says, too, that the comparatively dry climate has much to do with the low rate. In this opinion he agrees with the doctors, who say that humidity, combined with heat, is the cause of the real sunstroke. When the atmosphere is charged with moisture to the point of saturation, the perspiration of the human body does not evaporate. Evaporation reduces tempera- ture and when that does not go on, over- heating ensues. Dr. Homan, ex-Health Commissioner, re- calls a summer in St. Louls when the tem- perature was higher than he. had ever known !ft. But the alr was dry; perspiration was readily absorbed by the atmosphere and there were no deaths from sunstroke that year. | Another factor that makes this city both a summer and a winter resort is the general average of temperature. Taking the year through no American city has such an equable climate. Rarely too hot in summer; rarely too cold in winter; the springs and falls always delightful and long, there is no Place on the continent where life can be made more enjoyable all the while than in St. Louls. MINNESOTA CYCLONE DEATH RODE WITH THE WIND AT LOWRY. PROBABLY TEN LIVES LOST. Only an Imperfect List of Casualties Obtained—Great Damage by Widespread Rains. DULUTH, Minn. July 7.—A cyclone struck Lowry, Minn., last night, killed prob- ably ten persons and did great damage to property. The following is a partial list of victims at Lowry: The dead are: Samuel Morrow. Annie Morrow, 8 years. The injured are: Mrs. Samuel Morrow, fatally. Winnie Morrow. Alfred Morrow, crushed; leg recovery doubtful. Oswold Morrow, seriously. —— Morrow, 1 year old; badly Injured. Tollef Luavah, hired man; will probably die. Mrs. Peacock, seriously injured. —— McGowan, son of Robert McGowan. Every building in Lowry was injured, seven dwelling houses, depot, church, ele- vator and butcher shop being totally de- atroyed, while the railroad tracks’ were twisted and telegraph w res torn down and part of a mill was carried away. From Lowry the storm continued in a northeasterly direction to the farm of Rob- ert Peacock, where it made a clean sweep of all the buildings. Mrs, Peacock, her daughter, Nettie, and a boy named Robert Mctiowan were in the house, which was carnNed about twenty rods. All were in- jured, but will probably recover. The next point of injury tn the path of the storm was Thomas Andrews’ house, where the family took refuge in the cellar and escaped with bruises. All his farm build- ings are a total wreck. ST. CLOUD, Minn., July 7.—Last night's storm has paralyzed railroad traffic. It many trains ran tnto washouts without hav- ing any intimation of danger. here was a bad wreck on the Great Northern eight miles west of here, where | an extra freight with engine and twenty cars was ditched. Charles Washburn of this city was instantly killed and Engineer Pefer was injured. Washburn was riding in a box- car with eleven other men, returning from Fergus Falls. So far only eight have been accounted for. It is feared the other three have been killed. The Great Northern fiyer was held all night between two washouts;, and a work-train brought the passengers back to St. Cloud. FARIBAULT, Minn., July 7.—The Straight River rose twenty feet in conse- quence of last night's down-pour, and !s now near the danger line. Numerous railroad and wagon bridges went out. STORM IN WISCONSIN. Great Damage Has Been Done to the Logging Industry.

Much damage was done to build- ings, the roofs of several structures being blown off. Storms in this region during the last few days have created havoc with the logging industry. Boats have just brought | the | reat damage done on ake Superior, between here news here of South Shore of and Duluth. The dams at Orienta and the, mouth of the Cranberry River have been washed out and 12,000,000 feet of logs went into the lake. Logs in the Duluth and Ash. | land districis are now scattered along the | shore for a distance of fifty miles. Many of | them will never be recovered, though helf a dozen tugs have been sent there to collect them, if poss!Ble. CLEAN NAKED BOYS. Peabody Says They Are Preferable to Dirty, Well-Dressed Boys. Judge Peabody on Wednesday laid down a canon of morality as applied to physical cleanliness, interpreted according to his ju- dicial code of ethics. Henry Sommer, Wm, Notteler, Wm. Horst, ; white boys, and Henry Pvans, a negro, were arrested Tuesday at various points along the river front for bathing without any clothing on. When the boys were arraigned in the Police Court they all pleaded gullty. The patrolmen who arrested them told Judge Peabody complaints had been received from the Captains of excursion steamers that the nudity of boys bathing in the r ver shocked the sensibilities of his passengers. .. -o my mind,” remarked Judge Peabody, a clean, naked boy ts far preferable to a dirty boy clad in the most arel.

HOT WAVE EXCUSED THEM. Policemen Have Troubles of Their Own Along the City’s River Front. Police Justice Zimmerman is not so fas- tidious as Police Commissioner Lewis, and he has a large amount of sympathy thes hot days for young boys who commit a technical breach of the municipal law by go- ing swimming. Two young offenders were before him Wednesday morning on a charge of bathing in the river in day time in the garb of nature. The boys owned up frankly and honestly, trying in no way to disguise the fact that they had “pulled off and gone tn.” The Judge gravely listened to their story and then gave the verdict, ‘not guilty, but don’t get caught again.” The boys grinned and fled from the court room.as if afraid the Judge would change his mind. The two policemen who made the arrest told a tale of trials and tribulations which went to show that a policeman’s lot is not a happy one, when a police commissioner emulates Comstock and the weather is hot, “The boys won't come ashore, your horfer,”” said one officer. They have a watcher out who keeps the clothes and runs off with them when we come along. Then the boys get out up to their necks in the water and make faces at us. We can’t go in after them and can’t shoot at them or throw stones at them, and we just have to stand there and have the crowd guy us un- til We go away.”’ Inthe cases of the two of 2713 Chippewa street, and W lliam Berk- ley, 3753 South Broadway, the tired and gave themselves up.

In this hot weather boys who boys, Phil Beingraf | officers | camped out on the clothes until] the boys gor | — ee be in some degree excused for wanting to cool off and clean up.” To the boys he said: “It is against the law to swim in the river in the day time; don’t do it again, or I shall be compelled to fine and punish you.” The policemen were somewhat disgusted at the outcome of the first swimming raid made in the southern part of the city. They had had a hot time of it. and got nothing but a jeering from the boys for their pains, WW CONTINUED WARMTH. Observer Frankenfield Sees No Sign of Relief. At 7 o'clock this morning the thermome- ter registered 8&3. Helena, Mont., was the coolest place in the country. The natives there §Shivered with a temperature of only 46 degrees. Duluth, Minn., was a close second with 60 degrees, and Denver a good third with 64.

Cincinnati, where 36 deaths occurred from heat since Sunday, was comparatively com- | fortable with the thermometer at 78. Summer boarders at Marquette, Mich., had nothing to brag of with a temperature of 72 at sunrise. St. Paul had 74 degrees; New York, 74, and Pittsburg and Washington each 76. Fort Smith, Ark., came under the wire with 82 degrees to her credit at 7 a. m., making that the second hottest town in the country. At 6 o’clock this morning in St. Louts the official thermometer in the dome of the Federal building registered 79 degrees; at 7 a. m., 83 degrees; at 8 a. m., 86 degrees; at 9 a. m., 90 degrees; at 10 a. m., 92 degreeg; at 11 a. m., 9 degrees; at noon, 94 degrees. But even that record does not equal that of June 18, this year, when the mercury wavered between 84 degrees at 7a. m. and 97 degrees at noon. The prediction for Wednesday is gener- ally fair and continued warm. There is a possibility of a this afternoon, but if it comes light one. oothsayer Frankenfield sat !n his tower and gloated over the prospect of more heat.

This weather may continue for a week or a month—there is oor late will be a no telling. There has been a little rain in the South, but not enough to amount to anything.

THEY DO NOT COOL, BUT HEAT. Persons Make a Mistake in Taking Drinks With Sugar or Syrup as Constituent Parts. Now is the season when the human ant- mal hies himself hastily and frequently to the bar-room or the soda fountain and ab- sorbs large quantities of that ensnaring compound called the summer drink. Hot weather makes man thirsty and thirsty man wants a cooling drink. Moreover, he wants it favored and he wants it sweet—woman- kind Is likewise affected—probably more 50. People resort to the saloon, the drug store and the beer garden and think that while they are quenching their thirst they are also lowering their temperature, but in this they are sadly deluded. All alcoholic drinks and drinks with sugar or syrup in them, no matter how cold shaved ice has made them, are really simply so much fuel added to the Internal fires they are in- tended to gubdue. ; Perhaps the most wholesome of summer drinks, pure water excepted, are the plain mineral waters, unfavored and unsweet- ened. Attention was called by a druggist to one advantage derived from the use of min- eral waters, and that was that they sup- plied the organs of the body with the salts necessary to retain them in healthy condi- tion, salts which for the most part are thrown off with perspiration through the pores of the skin in hot weather. However, as all the doctors know, it ts of no use to preach sanitary gospel to the man that thirsteth. He will take whatever the parched palate seems to crave, and take it as often as he has the price thereof, rev- eling tn the pleasure of the moment and reckless of the suffering sure to follow. The ingenuity of the “barkeep” who runs the soda water fountain has long ago been exhausted in Inventing new, mystert- ous compounds wherewith to beguile the summer wayfarer. All the combinations of fruits, eyrups, phosphates and carbon waters have been made over and over again all that is new are the names. An old drink under a new name tastes as sweet, and every owner of a soda water lay-out makes names to sult himeelf. Among what are called the new “soft” drinks of the season Is “‘mintine,”’ the foun- dation of which is a syrup made of crushed reen mint and acid phosphate. Soda water s added, a slice of orange floated on the froth and a sprig of mint stuck intoit. To the casual] observer a mintine bears a re- a family resemblance to the mint ulep. Another so-called new beverage bears the pious title of “Cherry Sunday.” This !s made of a layer of ice cream, a layer of crushed and seeded cherries and a layer of cream. Plans and specifications for the “tally ho’’ consist of one egg, syrup made of lemon, Pine apple and orange, a spoonful of ice cream soda water and a sprinkling of nut- meg or ci[namon. ‘“Delmonico’s at 6” Is an Importation from the effete East. Its component parte are syrup made of chocolate, lemon, orange and pine apple, a spoonful of ice cream and nut- meg on top of the soda. Not much of a variation or improvement on the “tally ho.” The “polar wave” has an alluring sound when the thermometer does not know whether to stand at % or go higher, and has the slightly wicked spice of “claret syrup” in its make-up. The other edients are acid phosphate, shaved ice, a water and a slice of orange. The “polar wave” flows to its destination through straws, and per- sons who have tried it say they don’t even have to close thelr eyes to imagine they are drinking claret punch. But all these strange concoctions are but devices to trap the young and itinexperi- enced. The veteran poses of the soda fountain takes no heed of them, but orders his soda lemonade or his ese phosphate or some other phosphate as of old. acid phos- phates continue to grow In popularity and are said to be wholesome. All the beverages thus far mention their stanch friends and admirers, but tow- ering hi! above, queen regent over them all, sits her august majesty, the Ice Cream Soda. Drinks may corene and drinks may go, but she will goer for- ever. It !s a matter of some difficulty to classify this frothy favonte of the summer irl and her young man. There is grave Foubt whether a chunk of ice cregm with a jet of carbonic acid gas shot into it can be properly called a drink. It might be a confection, or a pudding, but certainly no- body can drink it—it must be eaten with a spoon, like mush. It doesn’t make much difference, however, to what category it be- have longs, ice cream soda Is far and away the leader among the “coolers” of the drug store. It cannot be denied that a large portion of the male population and a few of the ether sex seck to dodge the extraneous heat by drinking mixtures more or less tinctured with alcohol, and these misguided folk surely make trouble for themselves. However disguised, alcohol remains the same and produces the same effect, which is to heat the blood and befuddle the brain. With the hot weather there comes a change in the orders which the bartender has to fill The customer thinks he must have a “cooling” drink and a “long” one and so during the sultry July days and nights he abstains from whisky straight and gin and bitters and taxes his gas- tronomic machinery with gin fizzes, viewers. Remsen coolers, Tom Collinses, appol!n- aris lemonades, with sticks in them, mint a and al! sorts of mixtures, into which ce and seltzer can be incorporated. For all of which he ts sorry later. The latest creation to be had at the bars is called a “‘horse neck.”’ It consists chiefly of the rind of a lemon, ice and a bottle of ginger ale.

The Post-Dispatch will always strive to be first tn publishing the news, but it will never be satisfied with merely pub- lishing the news. It is a service to hu- manity to keep the reading world in- formed on all that is going on, but it Is also the duty of the modern newspaper to make the world lighter and happier, to cheer the routine of existence by pre- senting the pleasant side of life in its most attractive colors. How the Post-Dispatch proposes to ful- fill this mission has already been shown in the colored cover issued last Sunday as a section of the regular edition of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. This colored cover, without one dull line or one dim tint in it, will hereafter be a regular fea- ture of each Sunday edition, and if it ts hard to improve on the first number is- sued, we can promise that there will be mo deterioration. ; In quantity and quality, In originality and brilliancy, the colored cover of the next Sunday Post-Dispatch will be in every way equal to.its popular and suc- cessful predecessor. OO el THE PEOPLE HAVE A CHANC®. The proposition to revise the City Char- ter has reached the City Council. Mr. Uthoff, progenitor of the Witten- berg law, and who believes that to the victors belongs more spoil than the law allows, at once moved a special meeting of the Council to get the ripper bill be- fore the people. Mr, Uthoff discovered that a Council rule-made it necessary to lay the matter over for a week. A week is not a long time, so Mr. Uthoff agreed to let the rule Bland. It is still assumed that the bill to re- vise the Charter for the purpose of mak- ing more offices and more taxes for the bosses and the boys will be railroaded through ths Municipal Assembly. The assumption is not creditable to the legislative branch of our municipal gov- ernment. But, after all, the people will have achance, Will they use it? ee i a THE GREAT HOT WAVE. A great hot wave has settled ddwn over @ large part of the country. St. Louls is hot, but New York, Cin- cinnati, Chicago and many smaller places @re as hot or hotter. Few of the big cities just now can congratulate them- selves over the rest. Unless people are extremely careful of their health and habits while this hot Wave lasts, the fatalities will be very numerous, And worse than the fatalities, if possi- ble, are the numbers of unbalanced minds brought about through heat prostration, commonly known as sun stroke. Temperance in all things is the best preventive against heat prostration, Cut down on your dally consumption of stim- ulants.

The Post-Dispatch has never doubted that the Missour!t Supreme Court had the power to set aside the arbitrary and lawless action of the Kansas City Police Board in appointing a Pinkerton Chief of Police. And the Post-Dispatch has urged such judicial action as the court has just taken, It has not hesitated to say that the lawlessness of appointing a non-rest- Gent of the State, sufficient in itself to condemn the act, is made more odious because it exalts Pinkertonism and in- Bults the public sentiment of the State. The plea of the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners was one of con- fession and avoidance. In setting up Want of jurisdiction of the court, they admitted the entire case made out by At- torney General Crow. They confessed the a character of their proceed. j ings; they substituted a technicality for an honest defense of their action. Now they seek, by further pettifogging, to avoid a plain duty. They will seek to retain the Pinkerton Chief, after his in- eligibility has been admitted, and public resentment at his appointment Js clearly known, by quibble as to the scope of the decision. —_——_—-- oe -o-—— PRISON REFORM. While Missourl has reintroduced the whipping post in her peNtentiary, In- ‘diana has introduced the echoo!lmaster. | The superintendent and guards in the ' Indiana State prison must be teachers. ‘Convicts will have the benefits of a com- 'mon school education and be taugnt a trade, Wages will be paid them, ranging from 45 to 55 cents a day. They will have-to pay back the best part of this for, their maintenance, but can save 4 small amount daily. Five months’ good conduct in the up- per grade entitles a convict to parole, and employment will be found for every paroled prisoner if possible. Twelve months on parole usually secures an abso- lute release from further police supervi- sion. The present management of the Mis- sour! penitentiary says it cannot get along without the whipping post, though its predecessors in office did so. Tlow could it get along with the new Indiana regulations? —>—-—_---- Piss Lien PARDONING THE YOUNGER BOYS. A striking evidence of how time can soften the edge of public resentment is afforded in the treatment of the petition for the pardon of the Younger brothers from the Minnesota Penitentiary. It is now nearly twenty-two years since the James and Younger gangs raided the Northfield Bank. They were pursued for hundreds of miles by a de- termined posse, but the Youngers were the only ones captured, It was difficult, when they were taken back to Minnesota, to save them from 4 mob. Now the entire State appears wrought te a high state of sympathetic feeling in their behalf. Every social in- fluence is being exerted to secure their pardon. Many of the clergy have signed the petition. The Penitentiary Warden says “they have given twenty-one years of honest, manly and faithful service to the State,” and the St. Paul press is either silent or prejudiced in their favor. Much of this feeling is due, doubtless, to the excellent record the Youngers have made in prison, more remarkable in men used to the wildest of outdoor life. They have maintained the dignity of caged eagles. They have commanded public sympathy by uncomplaining composure and resignation to their fate. There is little doubt of their release, Their pardon will be an evidence of how time can blunt the edge of hate, and of how a people can forget. — -_e- —————— Following the example of Boston, Chi- cago is to establish a milk fund to furnish palatable, pure and nutritious food for sick babies.

A committee of prominent citizens Investigated the haunt- ed house and had their spines chilled and thelr hair on-ended by what they saw and heard, There are all kinds of ghosts in the house, which is known as the old Gish homestead.

BAY CITY, Mich., July 7.—An Interurban electric car bound for Saginaw from this city, crashed through the open draw of the high iron bridge two miles south of this city at 11 o'clock to-day and the seven passengers were carried down into the river. A woman and three children from this city, whose names have not yet ‘been learned, were drowned. The three other passengers _.were men. The latter were seriously injured but will recover. The river +as dragged and the body of * woman recovered. The car was in charge of Motorman Her-.- bert Riley and Conductor James O’Brien, both of whom escaped with slight Injuries by jumping. The three male paseengers umped, but all were injured. One of the * was EF. B. Gerkens, Assistant Gen- Agent of the Michigan Central. He.was partially out of a car window when the car went down and was injured about the arms and body. Frank Mayo of Essexville was badly in- jured about the legs. The exact cause of the accident fs yet un- known, but it is belleved that the motor- man was racing with a railroad train, Which is a competitor for the suburban traffic, and pe not stop the car after the bridge had begun to swing. T. P. Kilump, a traveling man from Ge- neva, O., was so badly injured that he can- not recover. TALE OF TWO MANIACS. One Probably Made Sane by Fear of the Other. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., July 7.—John D. Craw- ley, who escaped from the insane asylum here a few weeks ago, has not been recap- tured, and it Is belleved now that he is out of the country... Crawley’s escape was a most pecullar one. Crawley was a policeman in Kansas City. Five years ago he murdered h's wife while in a jealous frenzy. Detective Baldwin who made the arrest, told Crawley he would kill him if he made another attempt to escape. Crawley was not so insane that he did not understard what the detective said to him, and unde, stood its meaning fully. He was in mortal fear of Baldwin, and showed it every time the detective went near him. Baldwin remained on the detective force until a few weeks ago. when he became in- Sane and was sent to the asylum. When he was taken to the asylum he was between two guards, and .as they entered the door Crawley saw them. He recognized the de- tect:ve at a glance, and with a wild cry fied into the open air and across the flelds In his terror he fell into ditches an streams, but climbed out of them and went on again. His clothes were torn as he ran through the brush and climbed over fences, and he left a trail of blood behind him as he ran, but he made good his escape. The asylum authorities havea theory that Craw- ley regained his right senses after he es- ‘aped, and was thus enabled to get out of the country. DIVISION HEADQUARTERS.

Will Be Extensively Manufactured by Big Eastern Makers. Several Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK. July 7.—Will the chainless bicycle be the whee! of the future? This question, that for many months has engaged the attention of the manufacturer and interested the rider, has again been called forth by the announcement that a well-known firm, who last week materially reduced the price of their chain-driven wheels, will bring out a chainless machine as their leader for 1898. The very fact that thie firm and a half a dozen others equally as well known have, been for some time experimenting with chainiess bicycles would seem to argue that the day of that style of machine ‘e# not far d stant The statement !s made by a prominent man in the cycle trade that at least ten of the largest bicycle manufacturers in the Tinited States wiii place chainle:s wheels on the market next year, and tnat one com- ny, whose head offices are in the city, as arranged for the manufacture of at least 10000 whee’s of ths type, ‘o be rvady for ear'y shipment in i888. Thsas me man is author.ty for the sta emen: ihat .he stard- ard price of chainless wheels will. be $109. The point in which the new machire will differ from the style now in vogue w ll be the substitution of what is known ae the bevel-gear for the chain-gear. This gear & entire:y inclosed in the lower frame-work of the bicycle, be.:ng operated by a revoiv- ing shaft through what is technically known as the right back fork leg. The advantages claimed for th‘'s device are that there is no lost motion In the transmiss.on of power to the driving wheel, and fully one-third less friction. Consequentiy the fame amount of leg power would drive the ch niess wheel faster than the chain wheel, the.gears be ng equal, It is confidently bel'eved by the advocates of the chainlese bicycle that when racing wheels fitted with beve] gears are used on the track there will be another wholesale smashing of records, such as followed the introduction of the pneumatic tre. Rac ng men will be enabled to use higher pears, and, owing to the decrease in frict.on, their momentum will carry them a much lorger way than at preéent, once they get into the r stride. The strength and durability of the new type of bicycle is attested by the fact that a sample wheel manufactured last year by a New York firm has been ridden more than 6.000 miles, over all kinds of roadqy and, afier this continuous test, hae been ex- amined by expert mechanics and found to fhow no perceptible wear. Smilar satis- factory tests are reported to have been made by other manufacturing firms. NO MONEY IN THE GAME. Few Bookmakers at the Fair Grounds Are Winners.

Bookmakers pay $100 a day each, and the other daily ex- venses of each book w.ll amount to $80. ‘ifteen bookmakers go on, and they pay in the wregate $2,700 per day simply for the privilege of betting with the public, The ublic has to lose this sum every day be- ore it is an even game. , As long as favorites w'n the bookmakers lose.

The dec'sion of the Supreme Court in what is known as the police pens.on case, which was handed down Tuesday, is dishearten- ing to the police force and annoying to the commissioners, but it is not regarded by the latter as final.

CHICAGO, July 7.—The police now have a theory that the mysterious. shooting of bicyclist Nelson while in the company of Mre. Staples in Wash'ngton Park last week was a case of mistaken identity; that the shots were fired by a highwayman and that robbery was the motive. Incidentally they are eearching for Prof. C. E. Copeland, for- aerly Principal of the High School at Dela- ware, O., and who, the police think, was the !tntended victim of the robbers. Prof. Copeland came to Chicago June 2% to visit an old friend. He was an enthu- silastic wheelman and spent much of his time in the parks and along the boulevards. On June 29, the same evening Nelson was shot, Copeland had a draft for $700 cashed at the American Exchange Bank. It has been learned that the professor was fol- lowed from the bank by a roughly dressed negpo. The police have also learned that the professor, after drawing the money, went to Washington Park and that he was followed by the Regro at least part of the way. The police belleve the negro intended to rob Copeland in the park, but lost track sy after dark and by mistake shot CHARGES ARE FORMULATED. eee ek Fr. Tuohy Will Learn Thursday What He Is Accused Of. Fr. Tuohy of St. Patrick's parish will ap- pear before Vicar-General Muehlsiepen Thursday, at 2p. m., to receive the charges that have been formulated against him. The ecclesiastical battle will then be on. Fr. Tuohy says it will be fought out on the line indicated a few weeks ago in the ost-Dispatch. The priest will have thirty days to pre- pare his answer and perfect his defense. The first move will be to quash the in- dictment on the grounds of lack of jurisdic- tion. This will be hoily contested, and it is ony probable Archbishop Kain will have t urned from his ad |].mina visit to Rome efore the trial has progreseed further. The priest still maintains he is in complete orance of the nature of the charges, but 8 prepared to meet anything, and will wamty fight for his rights under canon!- The rumor of a temporary pastor for St. atrick’s has been pers'stent for a fortnight ut no one has yet appeared to take charge. “I suppose the appointment has been - made,” said Fr Tuohy, “and 1 have heard itis either Fr.

SHE ASKS FOR THEIR ARREST. Gianddaughter of an Ex-Mayor Beaten With a Broom by Mrs. Minneia, For the second time within a month Miss Abbie Wimer. the handsome young grand- daughter of John M. Wimer, who was many | years ago Mayor of St. Louis, has had to appeal to the Police Court for protection from the gossiping neighbors. This time, however, in addition fo the slanders against her fair name, one of her alleged traducers has added brutal! blows with a broom-stick, and not only have the, young woman's feel- ings been deeply hurt, her person marks of violence. Miss Wimer occupies, with her widowed ly furnished rooms in the two-story brick, 20 years old, of charming presence and man- ner, and her friends say that all the gossip about her is caused by jealousy on the part much she is admired. Aside from natural charms fortune has not dealt kindly with the fair descendant of the man who once sat in the city’s executive chair, She has to work for her living and goes at it daily with a will, and her sister atands ready to swear that when she returns from work she properly. The latest attack on Mies made last Sunday morning and took place in the back-yard, which jointly belongs Minnela. They met out in the yard and Miss Wimer took her to task for circulating s'ories calculated to injure her reputation. Mrs. Minnela declared that every word she of corroborating witnesses to sustain her. M'‘ss Wimer was so indignant that she flatly told Mrs. Minnelta that she was a ‘willful liar.’"’ Whereupon Mrs. Minnela, who held a broom with which she had been sweeping the stairs, struck M'!ss Wimer on the head with it and followed the assault with two more vicious blows that raised blue and black lumps and sent Miss Wimer scream- ing with pain into the house. More than this a stalwart man named Hartoebben. who lives close by and ‘s a friend of Mrs, Minnela, poured a fresh volume of vituperation upon the head of the girl, and told her she was as bad as a woman could be. his was the substance of the story told by Miss Wimer to Assistant City Attorney Meigs, who promised that he would ve her a warrant as soon as she brought him the full names of the persons complained of. Mrs. Fulton, too, re'terated the charges, at the same time deploring the aotoriets into which the family name was being dragged. ‘But,’ said she, “my sister is a pure, in- nocent girl. She has nothing but her good name and she must defend that at all haz- ards. We never lived among such neigh- bors as these before and we would have moved away long ago had not all these groundless slanders been put afloat about Abbie. She refused to leave the neighbor- hood until she had vindicated herself. But just as one slander had begun to be forgot- ten fresh ones are started and even a most wanton and brutal assault is made upon my unoffending sister. We are quite defense- less and well nigh friendiess, it seems, in this neighborhood. To be abused in this way is nothing less than cruel. Of course, shall stand by my sister, for she has done nothing to warrant these low, mean at- tacks upon her.” Mrs. Alice Foley, who lived a few doors north of Miss Wimer, was the first to gossip about her in the nelighborhood. That was three or four weeks ago and it was told how Mise Wimer would sit at her window and throw kisses with her hand to the cable car conductors as they passed by her door. It was said, too, that Miss imer wags on most friendly terms with the patrolmen that walked ‘beats in that neighborhood, and that she had been seen kissing the burly guardians of the peace as she stood in the unlighted stairway next door to her house. | When these reports came to the ears of Miss Wimer she at once swore out a war- rant for Mrs. Foley's arrest, but the case never came to trial, as Mrs. Foley had bus'ness in Chicago, and it is supposed she is still there. Should Miss Wimer succeed tin securing warrants for her latest assailant it will be a red letter day for South St. Louis in the Police Cuurt. “I don't care,’ said Miss Wimer, “about the beating she gave me, but when she tells me to my face that police officers support me, she has to prove it. am tired of these stories, and if I have to bring the whole neighborhood into court I will puta stop to it. You bet when I get married next month, and have a husband to protect me, these people will not be so smart.”’ Speaking of Mrs, Foley, Miss Wimer said that she did not care to push the case against her. She wanted to drop the prose- cution, she said, in order to bring the hus- band and wife together again. They are now living apart. DEDICATED A CONVENT.

Broker Campbell Reviews the Situation and Casts Suspicion on the Hamilton Syndicate. Who bought and paid $75,500 for the Fourth Street and Arsenal Street Railway? That is a conundrum which James Camp- bell, the broker, and fidus achates of John Scullin, says he wishes somebody would solve and relieve him from further torture this hot weather. Said Mr. Campbell to a Post-Dispatch man: ‘You are about the two dozenth man that has come to me for information about that. Now, in the hope that the Post-Dis- patch will stop the stream of inquiry at my office, I'll tell you all I know about it and it is precious little.”’ The story has been pubHshed that both the People’s line and its little satellite, the Arsenal line, would pass into the hands of the Scullin Company, and this is what started the stream of callers at Broker Campbell's office, “First place, "he said, “Mr. Scullin has not bought the little road, nor is he think. ing of buying the People’s. Mr. Scullin has roads to sell. He is not buying old roads or striving for new franchises. Besides, neither of these roads would be of the slightest use to the Scullin lines, for he already covers the territory occupied by the People’s. you will look at the map you will see that the Fourth street and Arsenal road would be of no use to Mr. Scullin or any- body else. It is a mere southern feeder of the People’s line along Fourth street. The franchise only extends fram Chouteau ave- nue south to Dorcas, on Second and Third streets. Divest it of its use of the People’s track on Fourth street and it is worthiess without a franchise to extend it North and south, which I think would be difficult to get in these daya., ‘I don’t think the sale of the road has any great significance. My understanding is that the road was simply taken in on behalf of the bondholders of the People’s line, who, us you know, are about to take possession of the line and either dispose of it or oper- ate it on a new basis.”’ was asked about a rumor that the Arsenal branch had been bong by the Hamilton syndicate of Chicago, the ob- ject being to acquire the franchise and pre- vent any paralleling of their Broadway line southward. “That would not be a bad scheme on the art of Brother McCullough, but I reall now nothing about it, though I know pene a rumor was out. “Of course, whoever acquires the People’s line will get a property that has value, but it will have to be newly equipped.” “How about the Eastern interests?” was asked, “Ah! those gentlemen, I fear, just now re- semble the gulleless hunter who is holding the bag. They represent the floating debt. Of course, if the road is sold and brings more than the bonded indebtedness, they will get the difference. They have the chance of paying the bonded debt and tak- ing the road, but they haven't nerve enough for that, I think.’’ Mr. Scullin was seen at his office and con- firmed all that Mr. Campbell had eaid about + having no interest in the Arsenal pur- cnase, “Yes,"’ he added, “it {s true I have said I will sell all my raltlroad interests if I can get their value.” Regarding the report that Capt. McCul- Mr. Campbell lough of the Citizens’ Line ‘s the rea] pur- | chaser iroad, it is thought significant that that i\tleman wae presen! of the Fourth Street & Arsenal en- in court Tuesday, whe it wee sought to have the sale of the roa for $75,500 to Attorney Arnstein confirmed by Judge Fiiteraft As there was opposition to confirming the sale, Judge Flitcraft postponed further ac- tion until Friday morning. a Tourists visiting 8t.

Frankly and Fairly and Doctor Copeland Meets an Unexpected Emergency Gives Not to a Few, but to All, the Benefits of His Generous Offer. Had Doctor Copeland been twenty doctors, Instead of one, and had his office hours ex- tended over the whole twenty-four hours of the day, during the last few days of June, he could not have seen one-half the pa- tients, old and new, who sought him in order to secure the advantage of the low fees which have so long been in vegue, but which, as it has been so theroughly and con- stantly announced, must be adjusted, in order to limit the number of patients, As has been stated, the Influx of patients from all over the country to be cured of Deafness makes such limitation necessary and im- perative. Every effort was made by Doctor Copeland and his associates to see as many as pos- sible of thosé applying, but they could not depart from their rule to carefully examine every patient, and henee, much to Doctor Copeland’s regret, there were several hun- dred who were unable to see him and have thelr names entered on the books as en- month. . Daily since dozens of these sufferer’ have visited his offices and hundreds have writ- ten him, begging that the offer be once more extended to them, Many of these pleas have been so earnest that it seemed impossi- ble to say “No,” Doctor Copeland had given ample notice, ample opportunity to all. Hig office facill- tles were taxed to almost their full extent; he and his associates saw before them the whole summer, every hour of it, filled with work; he knew the fees were so low as to preclude a cent of profit—and still he felt that something must be done for this host of disappointed patients. He could not grant to one what he did not grant to all, consequently he has finally determined to once more extend and for the full month of July, the opportunity of the low fees. This is the offer: The low fees which have been given during the Copeland practics in 8t. Louis will only apply to those begin- ning or renewing treatment during this month. The books will be closed August 1. Only those patients applying for or renewing treatment before that date will be entitled to the low fees. All those, however, beginning or re- newing treatment before that date will, as is manifestly just, be entitled to these fees until cured. This applies to all old and new patients and all dis- eases. * Stone Deaf for Years in Her Left Ear. Hearing Restored.

While his mind was affected by illness Michael Deurling ended his life Wednesday morning by shooting himself in the head at his home, 6114 McKissock avenue. Deurling had been an oiler at the chain worked hard, saved his money and built himself a comfortable home, in which .he took great pride. A man of good physique, he never knew a day’s illness in his life until two weeks ago, when he was seized with a fever. For two or three days his life was despaired of. When his physical condition began to im- prove it was seen that his mind was af- fected. This was more noticeable every day, but it was not thought necessary to watch him, as he never became violent and never men- tioned the thought of suicide. When he arose Wednesday morning he said he felt better than he had in days. He ate heartily of breakfast and passed jokes with his son about the hot weather. When the breakfast dishes were cleared away, Deurling’s wife and two daughters went Into the basement to attend to some household affairs. The son’ went out into the yard. Deurling himself remained in the @ining room. Suddenly the family was startled by the report of a pistol. They to the dining-room, where the soun from.

He: rushed upstairs” It is thought | PARTICIPATED. YOUNG WIDOW HAS HER POCKET- BOOK STOLEN. Handkerchief Thrown Over Her Face So That She Could Make No Outcry. One of the boldest daylight robberies that has occurred in a long time was reported as having taken place at 10 o'clock Wednce- day morning on the corner of Eleventh and Franklin avenue. Five daring young thieves held up and robbed a woman of $4.8, after first throwing a handkerchief about her face to prevent her making an outcry, Franklin avenue ig one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city and at the hour named the streets and sidewalks are thronged with vehicles and pedestrians. At 10 o'clock, when traffic was at its height, Mrs. McGrath, a young widow, was stand- ing on the corner waiting to take an Easton avpnue car for her home in the north west- era portion of the city. Suddenly five men, ranging tn age from 13 to 25 years, sidled up to Mrs. McGrath In a careless manner, as though they, too, were about to take the approaching car. The five surrounded her and she, becoming sus- icilous of their actions and appearance, ooked around at them and attempted to draw a few steps away. As she did so one of the fellows suddenly threw a large white pocket handkerchief over her face and drew it tightly behind her head, effectually choking off any outcry she may have attempted. , At the same instant two of hie companions seized her roughly by the arms and shoul- ders to prevent her offering. any resistance, while the remaining Pobbers, with incred- ‘ble rapidity, searched her skirt for valua- bles. They succeeded in securing her purse, containing $4.35 and a few trinkets. When the purse was secured a signal was given and the quintette of highwaymen ran away. So quickly was the robbery committed and so bold had the men been in their opera- tions, that, although the streets and side- walks were crowded with people passing within a few feet of the scene of the crime nobody realized what had occurred until Mrs. cGrath, having recovered her pres- ence of mind and her breath, sounded a shrill outcry. Her screams attracted the at- tention of a crowd to whom the victim rapid- ly related what had occurred, and pointed out the fleeing robbers, who were fast dis- appearing north on Eleventh street. dozen men !mmediately started in pur- suit of the fugitives, but had obtained a long start, and besides were thoroughly familiar, evidently, with every foot of ground in the Fourth Police District, where the crime occurred. They succeeded in making their escape tn some of the intri- cate passageways near Twelfth and Wash streets. Mra. Sullivan was greatly excited over the bold robbery, and it was some time before she could recover herself sufficiently to tell a connected story of the robbery. In her agitation she went home before making a report of the affair to the police. Later she went to the Forth District Station and re- ported it. From her description of her assailants it is believed by the police that the robbers are a portion of the Mickey Mack gang. Of- ficers are now engaged in searching the city for the thieves MCGINLEY MUST G0. - — ——— CIVIL SERVICE TO RECEIVE A BLACK EYE. PEARCE TO BE REINSTATED.

Under this rule the street and alley bills have always been introduced in the House and the sewer bills nearly always.

Four Men, After Robbitig a Saloon, Engage Officers in a Run- ning Fight. Four robbers helped themselves to drinks and cigars and the contents of the till at Willlam Hanlon’s saloon, 1201 North Sev- enth street, early Wednesday morning. Tom Nolan, the barkeeper, was asleep. An early customer aroused him and he dis- covered the robbery. A quantky of liquor, a box of cigars and between $12 and $20 in money were taken. About the time Nolan was telling Sergt. Maher of the robbery, Patrolman Trimble of the Fifth District saw four men hurry across Cass avenue. As they passed under an electric light he ordered them to stop. They replied with a fusiliade of buileta, causing the policeman to seek sheiter in a doorway. From that point he shot at the re. treating forms. Sergt. Maher heard the shots and ran up Seventh street to Cass avenue in time to see the robbers’ last volley as they ran into Broadway. He followed, picking up on the way Patrolmen Burke and Kilcullen. Pursued and pursuers, exchanging shots at intervals, sped into the Fifth District, then down along the river bank to Carr few days ago, John McGinley, the Deputy Surveyor, is to be removed, to make’way for John 8. Pearce, a brother of a Charlies E. Pearce of the Twelfth District. Pearce was formerly a clerk in the Sur- eyor's office, filling the duties that McG'n,. ley has been discharging for the past three years, and he applied for re!nstatement. More than a year ago the civil service les were extended so as to cover the clerke in\ McGinley’s class. r. Smith had not been long in office be- fore he asked for McGinley’s resignation, McGinley refused to give it and appeaied to the Civil Bervice Commission at ash- ington. This was more than a month ago, and Applicant Pearce had a friend at court in his Congressman brother, who insisted that as niously ousted from the Government employ and McGinley given his berth, he should be reinstated despite the fact that McGinle was at present under the of the civil service regulations. Several days ago Mr. Smith received official telegram from Washington, D. C., saying: ‘‘Local Board of Examiners has been ordered to reinstate Pearce.” McGinley was at work Wednesday, but Pearce had not shown up at the Surveyor’s office. It is understood, however, that MoGinley_ will soon be looking for another job, and Pearce be drawing ‘his former sal- ary from Uncle Bam. he case will attract wide interest, es- pecially with that class of officials who were appointed under the Cleveland regime outside of civil gervice. but who were in- cluded in his sweeping order of 1895, ex- tending the operations of civil service.

GENSITIVE ABOUT HIS OBLIGA- TIONS, HE WENT AWAY. *~ ~ Prisoner Declares He Will Shoot Oth- ers When He Is Sct at Libérty. Now His Wife Watches Hourly for the Return of the Old Lawyer. One name on the programme at the Sub- urban Garden this week is a little more than the audience can master. The name Ss Guille. and the man who wears it is a won- der among all those wonderful men who have entranced the music-loving world of this generation. People in the audience give Mons. Gull'e’s name any old sort of pronunciation. Bome | call him Gilly, and others speak of him as Hill. A comedian at the Suburban this week who has patron‘zed reguiarly the Bieecker street table d’hote restaurants in New York and thinks he knows French at a glance, referred to the singer, with an air of supe- riority as Mr. Gweel. Plain Guile and Gool are some other corruptions that can be heard In the Suburban audience when the singer’s name is read off the programme.

Calvert died at the Rebekah Hospital at 1:30 a. m., Wednesday. Intense suffering and wild dissipaflon has made almost. repulsive a naturally homgly face, and has given h's small brown eye a light not pleasant to see. Just now the de, Sire to annihilate his enemies and perse-, cutors {s so strong that when he speaks of them his red face grows almost purpie and his strong fingers close nervously around the bars of his cell. “IT am only sorry I didn’t kill the dog out- right,’’ he says. “‘He robbed me and his mother helped him to beat me. Just be- cause these are here,’’ and he aappes the stumps below the knees, “‘everybody thinks I am a good easy thing. But I'll fix them; I'll have every one of them at the fin sh. Calvert is just the first one. “They won't let a man attend to his bus!- ness in this town. If he is unfortunare enough to be a cripple it is all the harder, I am almost a match for any of them now, but if Il had legs they wouldn't dare to mo- lest me. “ ‘Shorty’ Hill 's a mark, and everybody's been shooting at him till he thinks he w.ll do a little of it himself." ° The cripple laughed boisterously at this, and altogether seemed to enjoy his situa- tion. The reference to shooting brought to mind his victim, and he asked eagerly: “What do they say on the streets? What do the boys say? Do they blame me?’ W.thout waiting for an answer he went A tired, anxious, weary woman !s occupy- ing her spare time, morn ngs and even.nes, gazing from a second-story window at 1755 South Eighteenth street. The house is of brick green blinds and a dark red door. It Is an old-fashioned etructure, lying adjacent to the German Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association. The woman who half-opens the blinds as she peeps down at the passers-by is Mrs. Frederick T. Ledergerber, and she is hourly anticipating the arrival of her husband, Mr. Ledergerber s com. ng home. He wen away on the ist cf De ember last, ostensib.y on business in Chicago. Une weex later he wrote home on the letierhead oj a Chicago hate! and incicsed some mo ev for household Pxpenses and also for Chrisimus remembranves for the children. After another weck he wrote again. That Was the last heard from uim until a few days ago. Ledergerber had disappeared and all trace of him was |. si. His wife, after consultation with her hus- band’s friends, notified the Chicago police and detectives were emp oyed many days in fruitiess searches for :he missing man. Ledergerber had been for thirty years rominent in the polit.cs of South St. Louls le owned a lovely litt!e home at 6302 S. uth Seventh street, and orce:njo eda largea d lucrative practice as an attor ey. Troubles came thick upon him during the first five years. His pclitical asp.rations and decreasing law business led im into debt. Twice he was nominated for Con- gress and defrated. Two years ago he again aspired to the nomination, but failed, hen he sat down and thought It all over. He was advane:ng in years, being then nearly 60. His obl gations were greater than he could hope tc meet within the period named by his promises. His practice had dwindled to a mere bagatelle. True, he owned his home, but that would have to go in order to satisfy his cr ditors. They were not pressing h'm then, but he naturally pre- fumed they would, and it all seemed to Pim as though nothing was ahead save igno- miny and failure. Ledergerber's friends eny there were no ether reasons for his disappearance. He Was a sens.t.ve, nervous man, and happy in his domestic relations. eee ne REID’ 411-415 N. Broadway.

To the Editor. The question of using the morning or evening papers during the week is one that is perplexing a great many advertisers in this city and elsewhere, who do not care to pay for the experimenting, which is, in- deed, costly if a fair trial ie given. The ad- vertising of which 1 speak here is for those department stores catering mainly to the women—the mass of shoppers—day after ay ' ‘The theory with a great number of ad- vert.sng men with whom I have corre- sponded during the paet six months upon th:s subject seems to be generaily that those ‘morning papers that depend mainiy on the news stand sales are not so valuable for reaching the public referred to above as those papers that are delivered in the morn- ling and have an actual subscription lst reach.ng very nearly, if not quite, the claimed circulation, It must be remem- bered that the’ morning paper is stale by noon. Whether the circulation depends on étreet sales or pad delivery it is very doubiful ii the morning papers can compete w.th the evening papers in reaching the mass of wonten shoppers. Here in St. Louis, for example, I com- menced using the Giobe-Democrat and Re- public (morning papers) for 300 lines each day of the week, and continued to do so for the past s'x months. Both the Globe and Republic claim an immense paid cir¢u- iat.on and house to house delivery, and have it, too, I think. But even this fact is not everytning. Few women, indeed, will eit down In the morning and look for “bargains,” when the house needs her attention. 1 find that about ov per cent of the morning papers de- l.vered at the homes in this city are brought down town by the men, and read on the cars en route to their offices, and are not brought home again in the evening.

She would have nothing to say about the return of her husband, when approached Wednesday, and ap- eared averse to giving any information. 3ut as she talked she kept her face turned toward Lafayette avenue and watched with unconcealed eagerness the passage of every street car. It is sa‘'d the wife's opinion is that Ledergerber had permitted himself to be worried into temporary aberration by troubles which really did not rise to the magnitude he imagined. It is recalled by Gov. Charles P. Johnson that the old and brilliant law firm of Col- cord, Normile & Ledergerber has had a tragic and sorrowful erding. This firm for many years occupied large offices on Market street, opposite the Court House. “The celebration of Judge C. D. Wolf's birthday anniversary, the other day at Clayton,” said Gov. Johnson, “reminded me of that famous old law firm. Judge Wolf was the first Judge of the Court of Crimi- nal Correction. Joseph FP. Colcord, poor fellow, was the first Prosecuting Attorney of that Court. Judge Wolf has lived a long and useful life. Colcord and Normile died by the.r own bands. “Colcord was a brilliant but erratic gen- fus. As a pieader of law, he had few equals at the bar of any country. He was the head of the firm. Associated with h.m as artnergs were Judge J. C. Normile and red T. Ledergerber. After a brilliant ca- reer of several years Colcord dissipated recklessiyv.
