She Distance of Their Son | When They Be- came Lost. —— eee ee oe Bpectnl to the Post-Dispatch. PHOPNIX, Ariz... July 31.—Garrett. E. Anderson, a New York broker, who cam: here ‘'n search of health, died of thirst yes- terday on Salt River Desert, about twenty miles from this city. He and his wife were driving to where their son was camping at Cave Creek. When within a quarter of a mile of their destination they feared they had lost their way, and givirie the horse the last drop of water, they started to retrace their way to Arizona City. Later in the afternoon a freighter ramed Moore had h’s susp-cions aroused by carriage tracks that crossed and recrossed the road. lle followed the tracks until he reached the now delirious couple and almost crazed horse. He gave Mrs. Anderson water, but Anderson was too far gone to drink. Moore itehed (the carriage behind his wagon and hurried to the cana, . but Anderson was dead before he arrived Says that she must have been under hyp- notice influence at the time she promised to accept Milliken as her lawfully wedded hus- band, as she had no previous intention of marrying him. Miss Burridge lives with her mother, Mrs. John Burridge, at Mansfield, O. A few weeks ago she met Mr. Milliken there, and he was somewhat devoted to her. The mother objected to the suitor and did not Want ther daughter to marry him, at least until the two were better acquainted. After a tew weeks in Mansfield, M/lliken Camo to this town and at once associated himself with the Episcopal Church and be- came prominent in Y. M. C. A. work. He offered his services as an organizer to the Rev, Mr. Schultze, the pastor of the church, and declared his willingnes and ability to aid in establishing the order of the Brother- hood of St. Andrews. A few days after his arrival Mrs, Burridge and her daughter Came here to visit friends. They did not know that Milliken was here, but he soon called on them and resumed his attentions to Aliss Burridge. The mother was suspicious, and she al- Ways contrived to accompany the young . there. Mrs. Anderson is now here, where | three physicians are doing thelr uimost to | eave her life. When they turned back they were within shouting distance of the camp people when they went to church or to places of amusement, Previous to the com- ing of the Burridges, Mr. Mlliken had been attentive to a young lady who lives here, —_ of their son. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 31.—According to a dis- patch received to-night, Garret E. Ander- gon, a wealthy resident of Brooklyn, per- ished to-day in the desert near Phoenix, A year ago the son developed sympioms of consumption and was sent to the Adiron- dacks. There he met Whitelaw Reld. Mr. Reld recommended the young man to go to a stock farm near Phoenix. For a time his letters were full of encouragement. Then came a change and one day a few months ago Mr. and Mrs. Anderson siarted West. A week ago Mr. Anderson wrote to his hotel in Brooklyn and agked that a suite of rooms be retained for himself and his wife. He spoke of a fine team of horses behind which he and his wife and gon were taking exploring tours around Phoenix. BUILT A GLORIOUS JAG. Henry Berger Drinks Thirty- Kight Whiskies After Work. Henry Berger drank thirty-eight glasses of whisky last evening. He does not know why he did it, how he did it, nor does he know how he knows he Grank that many. In fact, Henry was not in a shape last night to know much of any- thing. He was the drunkest man sent in many months to the City Hospital to sober up. Berger is a granitoid worker and lives with his wife at 2237 Callfornia avenue. He worked all Saturday and received his pay check. Then he etarted home. Late in the afternoon a policeman found him, limp and helpless, at Geyer and Cal'- fornia avenues. A passing physician said Jienry was suffering from a cerebral hem- orrhage and advised that the man be sent at once to the hospital. “There 't was found he was suffering from @ bad case of alcoholism and the custom- ef treatment was resorted to, he police identified Berger by the papers n his pockets. A neighbor heard of the neident and hastened to tell Mrs. Berger that her husband was dving from a cere- bral hemorrhage. Mrs. Berger went from one faint ‘nto another. At 10 o'clock last night Henry was taken poms. He was still drunk, but was in good iumor, and knew he had drank thirty-eight giasses of whisky. His pay envelope was unopened and he could not tell how he had Obtained the liquor. PRETTY GIRLS IN DROVES ‘Answered an Advertisement for a Postmaster’s Assistant. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch.

On the day that Mrs. Burridge and her daughter were to return to Mansfield Mr. Milliken called to bid them good-by and asked for a photograph of Miss Kaie. She had none, and he suggested that they go to a vallery and have a negative made. She consented. The mother did not acconipany them, as she wae busy packing. Instead of going to a pnotograph gallery, Milliken took Miss Burridge to the Court- house, secured a marriage license and then went to the residence of the Rev. Schultz and asked him to marry them. The license was perfectly rerular und the ministe: per- formed the ceremony after asking the usual] quest ons. Both bride and bridegroom declared that they had known each other from childhood; that they were not related in any way, and that they knew of no reason why they should not be joined ‘n wedlock. They said they were both members of the Episcopal! Church at Mansfield, and gave as a reason for the quiet marriage that the bride’s mother was not in good health. As the two left the minister’s home after the cer- emony was performed, the bride kissed her husband and said: “The bond is: sealed now, and you can go away and stay as long as you please.”’ Milliken escorted his wife back to where her mother was rg nas heen in Germany.

As An- dree’s idea was not to go higher than 700 feet, he would be moved by surface winds. “Now, if you take a weather map of the United States at any time you will see that a balloon would seldom travel in any di- rection 60 miles. If he started out with southerly winds the chances are that the wind would change to @ westerly one as he approached the pole. “As he started in latitude 81, within 700 miles of the pole, and as there seems to be little doubt that he would go 300 or 400 miles of that distance north and east, that would leave him such a great distance from the Siberian coast that the chances of his escape would be remote. | “If he had his boats and three or four months’ provisions we know from the experience of the De Long party and from Nansen’s drift in the Frand, that Andree and boats would drift to the northwest or west northwest, which would be a very slow drift. I do not think Nansen’s drift averaged much over one mile per day. An- dree’s chances of escape, with a very small supply of provisions and a much smaller suply of fuel for cooking, would be almost nothing.”’ 7 -_——- + “Would Anaree’s observations from his balloon be exact and of scientific value?” “His observations would be of value only as showing the character of the ocean passed over. He could tell whether there was land or not,- but he could not see very far on either side, I don’t suppose his range of observation would extend more than forty miles on each side—that is to say, it might cover a country elghty miles wide. There is much doubt, moreover, about his ability to tell where he Was at any time. It seems to me ft would be utterly impos- sible to tell by the sun with the sextant, the ordinary method of determining the lat- itude. Of course, he would not know when to make observations at the highest point of the sun during the day, because his long- itude changes so rapidly, and then his alti- tude is constantly changing. Thus {t seems to me the usual methods of location fail.” ee Gen. Greely Thinks the Daring Aeronaut and His Companions Will Never Be Heard From. Y} WY) Wi Nhe fe — « N . -* - in. Sis 2 Rar ?

The longest time I ever knew of a balloon in air is nine days. That was in the siege of Paris. Andree attempted to keep his balloon in the air a longer period by preventing the escape of gas, which ordinarily is at the rate of 3 or 4 per cent a day, and he believed he had devised a method to reduce the escape to l per cent. But his 1896 balloon lost 3 to 4 per cent, the usual amount.” “How can he escape with his life if his balloon fail him?’ “There is, 1 fear, little hope of Andree’s return if any accident happens to his bal- loon. A boat is of no service where he is likely to land, and sledging means mak- ing but two or three miles a day, and that shows how meagre are the chances of es- cape even if he have a year’s provisions. He will find little in the way of food where he would probably land, and he would have difficulty in finding a bear or a seal. The best chance for food is always around the archipelago. or along the coast, where the ice breaks readily and where seals and walruses and other game naturally re- sort.”’ - oo “Where will Andree probably emerge, if at all?’ ‘The chances, if he comes out at all, are that he will reach Franz Josef land or the Siberian coast. The vessel that belongs to the Jackson exploring expedition, which has been at Franz Josef land for three years, left a short time ago with provisions for the Jackson party. They carried with them a quantity of provisions for Andree, and the intention is to catch them on Franz Josef land. If Andree could get to New Si- beria Island he would find there cached pro- visions left by Baron Von Toll of the Rus- sian Imperial Geographical Society for Nan- sen two or three years ago.” ‘You do not then believe that Andree will “oer ever be heard from again’ “I very much fear not, but as I have said, the marvelous is always happening, and An- dree may return. I do not place much re- liance in the alleged messages by pigeons from Andree. In the first place, it was diffi- cult to locate latitude 46.62, and the expla- nation offered by learned people does not make the locality plainer, and in the past carrier pigeons have not made more than 1,00 miles. Andree’s birds would have been obliged to cover two or three times that dis- — tance to bring any word from the balloon” “Do you know Andree?’ Gen Greely was asked. “I met him and had a long talk with him in London. He is a man of very great cour- age and determination. Some people regard him as crazy. I do not. His talk with me HAS EXPLORER ANDREE GONE TO HIs DEATH ?

Svecial to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., July 31.—For nearly half a century there Hved near Columbia, | on a fine farm of 168 acres. a brother and sister, William and Julla Barnes, both deaf mutes. They lived utterly alone and little was known of them except that they were a remarkable pair. Neither had ever seen a railroad train and knew little of modern civilization. They dressed in the style of fifty years ago William Barnes, the older of the pair, died July 15 at the age of 77 years. The sister Was prostrated with grief. She refused to see visitors and remained for days alone in her recom with the door locked. It was reported in the neighborhood that a large sum of money was in the house, and it was feared that the poeee wouid be raided. James English and Parker Barnes of that neighborhood determined to _ investigate. They searched the house and found it like a Klond.ke gold mine. Money was every- where, under the carpets, over the doors and windows, tucked into o'd shoes and stockings. They found god, siiver and b lis, beside a number of valuable notes and pa- per. In all, $5,000 was found. The Public Administrator was informed, and on the belief that the aged sister of the deceased was irresponsible, the money was brought here to-day and placed in a bank. The parents of the strange pair kwed and died on the same farm. Four members of the family survive Julla—Mrs. Sailie 5S. Mart.n, near Carrington, Mo.; D. D.

He will be more for- | tunate than the fellow who for fame burned the temple of Diana and then had his name suppressed.”’ “How do you regard Arctic explorations? Do they serve any practical purpose in the light of past experiences?” “TI have said constantly that I saw no good in Arctic expeditions unless they are made on systematic lines and connected with scientific work. Now, there has been a great deal said about the scientific value of Nan- sen’s expedition, but if it have any value I fail to discern it. I had a letter recently from Lehigh Smith, the famous Arctic ex- plorer who has made three or four voyages at his own expense, and he tells me that he understands that Nansen’s deep sea tem- peratures are likely to be unreliable. The meteorological observations of Nansen have very little value, because they were made at so many different points and only for a short time, running the risk of encounter- ing abnormal records. “Of course, there is an Interest in arctic expeditions and an admiration of the en- terprise, the energies and the bravery called forth in these hazardous undertak- ings, but I don’t believe these isolated at- | tempts have any scientific value, and stand simply as exhibitions of the courage and determination and fortitude of man, and as such have moral value. “Peary’s expedition is one of the kind I | have just referred to. He has made five | expeditions, and I do not know of a single published observation on meteorology, mMag- | netism, hydrography or any branch of) science that is of value. Peary shows great courage and energy, and his two journeys | on the inland ice of Greenland deserves the admiration of everybody who likes to | see what man is capable of. “Tt is somewhat amusing to see the rep- | resentation put forth about the value of work done by some of the professors who have gone with Peary in determining the certain physical characteristics in connec: | tion with Greenland. Those gentlemen seem | to expect that they can do In a few months work which can compare with that-done by Denmark, which for twenty years has had some of its best scientific men and most | able naval officers engaged in work of like | character on the east and west coasts of | Greenland. “Some of the observations, such as those | of Prof. Chamberlain on glaciers, are doubt less valuable, but many of the collections are not to be compared with those made by Danish expeditions, nor is it to be expected that they should.” THE COST OF ARMOR.

Woods ts credited, New York's famous Burdell murder mystery is a mys- tcry no longer. Mr. Burdell, a New York dentist, was as- sassinated in his office at No. 31 Hond street, forty years ago. In to-day's story it is asserted that the housekeeper, Mrs. Emma Cunningham, confedsed herself the murder- ess. She strangled the doctor with a cord while John Eckel, her fridnd, stabbed him with a dentist's knife. Mrs, Cunningham was tried for the murder in 1957, and acquitted. Willlam F. Woods is a grandson of Dr. James Fowler, who was Dr. Burdell’s par‘- ner at the time of the murder. He says that Mrs. Fowler had been kind to Mra, | Cunningham, and in 18 the iatter confessed 'to Mrs@Fowler. Ten years ago Mrs. Fow- ler told her son, 8S. F. Wood, and her grand- son, William Wood, ofthe confession. At the time Mrs. Cunnngham made her con- fession Mrs. Fowler was living at No, 9 | Vandam street, New York. The secret would never have been di- vulged but for the unpleasant experiences it cosi tne Wood and Fowler families to make claim to the estate of Dr. James Fow- ler, who died a year ago in France. The claims of poth families brought out threa’- enng letters to Wood, who was oné of the most active claimants. In New York Woods recetved three mys- terious letters from as many ‘tifferent points, advising him of the Burdell mur- der, and to refrain from striving to secure any of his grandfather's estate, under pen- alty of death. | _— f William F. Wood returned to Chicago ‘from New York last night, and made up his mind to reveal the secret. He says that in 1860 Cunningham had just returned to New York ffm California. Mrs, Fow- ler was surprised by a call from Mrs. Cunningham, and was abvut to turn away when Mrs. Cunningham begged a _ few words. Mrs. Cunningham then confessed the murder. She planned the murder to se- cure his fortune estimated at $1,000, in- tending to pose as Burdell's widow. ‘After securing the money she intended to marry Eckel. She said the murder had been planned by her in one of the rooms of the house weeks before. Eckel wae to do the act alone, but realizing that the victim was possessed of great strength she finally decided to assist in order that tnere would be no fallure. The night chosen for the murder was an ideal one. It will ever be a memorable night because of the terrific raig (and wind storm that prevailea.

For two or three days he would absent himself, saying he intended to go to 8t Louis and purchase stock. Then big boxes would come to Webster addressed in large leters to: “WILLIAM T.

Warner and Pearce Are Lined Up With Filley Against Kerens and.His Faction. ——— Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31.—The sub- committee of the Senate Committee on Commerce, which was authorized to exam- ine into the causes of the Mississippl River floods and to report to Congress in De- cember the most feasible plan to prevent them, will meet in St. Louis, Sept. 5. There the committee will hear all persons Intet- ested in the commerce of the great water- way and will discuss with those who have ideas the plans for the betterment of navi- gation and the all-important question of what is the best plan to follow in future work of the Mississippi River Commission. Congress is contemplating a great revolu- tion in the matter of river improvements. The disastrous floods of last winter and spring demonstrated the urgency of adopt- ing a new system for the Mississippi River. It is planned to incorporate it in the river and harbor bill next session. Because of this and the additional fact that ge Reed has so openly shown his hostility to the Western waterways, the proposed meet- ing in St. Louis of the Senate Investigating Committee is of great importance to all interested in Lower a a pate commerce and an effective system o levees and dredg:ng. Sena'‘or Knute Nelson of Minnesota Is the chairman of the sub-committee. Senator Vest is a member and will attend the nfeet- ng of the committee in St. Louis, August 15 the first meeting of the committee will be held ‘n St. Paul, There special inquiry will be made concerning the reservoir sys- tem and how far with advantage the system could be extended. Wihen th.s branch of the inquiry is completed, the committee will proceed to St, Louis and there enter upon problems. Missour! will have no representation next session on the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors. This fact makes the visit of he Investigating Committee of much greater importance, St. Louls commercial Interests will have a chance to show to the Senate the impor- tance of dealing fairly and equitably with the Lower Miss_ssippi and to so impress the Senators on the comm.ttee that they can fen vy any giaring ‘injustice in the next river and harbor bill after it comes from the House. The warring factions of the Missour! Re- pubdlicans are more widely separated by the events of the week than they have been for years. It is out of the question now for them to get together. The shrewdly pianned coup of the Filleyites to get ahead of Na- tional Committeeman Kerens at the last minute has apparently failed. It succeed- ed, however, in lining up the leaders of the differant factions in a way which wiil 6ee ro change for some time to come. Back of the plan of Congressmen Joy, Bartholdt and Pearce was the skilled hand of Chauncey Filley. The old-time boss evidently worked out the scheme with care. It might have been successful had his l'eutenants worked along the same bold lines. If they had sot tr.ed duplicity the President might have been persuaded to O. K. their consular Slete There is smali chance now that he wll have anything to do with the scheme. As the first resuit of the row, Maj, William Warner of Kansas City is lined up with the rilley men, and there he will stay hence- forth, so far as the Kerens wing is con- cerned. Ever since Col, Kerens aided Web- ster Davis of Kansas City in securing the office of Assistant Secretary of the Interior Maj. Warner, who bliterly opposed Davis, has been waiting for a chance to get even, He thought he saw the opportunity when he was asked to indorse a consular candi- date on the Filley congressional slate. He threw down the bars and went into the Filley camp. He burned no bridges behind him. That is not his way. But when the Kerensites learned of the trick he had turned they burned his bridges for h'm. In the next fight in the State it will be Filley and Warner against Kerens, Bittin- ger and Davis. Filley hates all three with about the same degree of animosity. He has also fought many bitter fights with Maj. Warner. The new alignment has ancient enemies together again. work harmoniously together they hard to down. The trouble will probably be that they will not trust each other. They know by past experience how little reliance is to be placed tn political com- pacts where there is nothing behind the game but an intense desire to get even with the other fellow. ee thrown these If they will be Undoubtedly the most embarrassing com- pileation is that in the case of Congressman ‘earce. He has jeopardized his chances of a renomination. Col. Kerens and his lieu- tenants are to fight him in the future. His desert on of the Kerens flag has secured their bitter opposition. When it {s remem- bered how Filley fought Pearce both be- fore and after the nomination in the lwelfth District and how he was literally earried through by the Kerens wing, his aifillation with Filley now seems like in- viting certain disaster. He will have to depend upon the “Old Man” for a remoni- nation. He will get no help from the Na- tional Committeeman and is men. They will back another man from the district to get even with Pearce for his sudden turn and his apparent effort to throw Kerens down in the matter of appointments, One lot of famous Agnes Booth 10¢ cigrars, $1.00 a box, at Leland Miller’s, Locust & 6th.

PROSPECTIVE DIVISION. A There Will Be a Warm Debate at the Meeting Called for Wednesday. The disaffection in the Board of Directors of the Jefferson Club has spredd to the ranks of the organization, and yesterday was spent by the warring officers in urg- ing their friends to be present at next Wednesday evening's meeting. That the split is a serous one cannot be denied, and even the conservative heads are filled with visions of the club’s possible disruption. . The bone of contention is the right to indorse a candidate; whether that function belongs to the directors alone or the club as a whole, or to neither. The protest against Hugh J. Brady's candidacy for Election Commissioner precipitated a row that ig said to have been brewing for months. The fact that it was Mr. Brady seems to be the smallest part of the con- troversy. The men who framed and passed the protest were President John Roberts, Second Vice-President William P, Howard, Third Vice-President John L. Duffy, Treas- urer V. *. V.

Hotel. Cummings and three compa..ions, all non-union men, encountered a number of strikers as they came out of the bar room, and a war of words ensued. Some one fired a revolver and a dozen shots followed in quick succes- sion. Cummings dropped dead with a bul- let in his right temple, and his three com- panions fled to the mill, hotly pursued by the angry crowd.

C., July 31.—The caus.- tic letter which Prof. Henry Elliott of the Smithsonian Institution sent to Judge Day, Assistant Secretary of State, in reference to John W. Foster's handling of the sea question, has caused a big sensation. Prof. Elliott makes public to-dayya statement as follows regarding the me he sane seal conference in Washington this autumn to which Great Britain has agreed: LAKEWOOD, O., July 31.—The confer- ence has been distinctly Iimited to nothing more than an informal discussion between British and American naturalists at Wash- ington, as to facts In natural history of fur seals, and all reference to a change in making regulations has been barred. Nothing will come of this of the least ad- vantage to the American side; no more than came of the submission of Jordan's and Thompson's reports for the season of 1596. It would have been better for the credit of the American side In this controversy if a man not discredited by the shameful failure of our case at Paris In 18933 had been placed in charge of the sealing question by President McKinley.

Some of the claims for personal Injuries are of long standing. A sharp dispatch demanding settlement of the Tolon claim for $13,000 was written by Secretary Ol- ney last September, but failed to accom- plish the desired end. It required more than @ quarter of a century to secure pay- ment of the Mora claims. The demand of the Relgados, who were the victims of brutal assault, was compromised by the payment of $15,000.

HEAD OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Plan Proposed at the Lambeth 2an-Anglican Conference Opposed by Americans. HERZL’S IDEAL JEWISH STATE. Mrs. John Hay Makes a Hit in London and Her Tactful Husband Outshines the Courtly Bayard, Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publisbing Company. 1°97. LONDON, July 31.—The conclusion of the Lambeth Pan-Angliican conference has brought out the startling fact that a de- liberate attempt was made by a section of the English and Colonial Bishops to erect the Archbishop of Canterbury Into @ spe- cles of Pope of the Protestant Church, The proposal was to confer upon Archbishop Temple an official status as head of all, branches of the Episcopal Church in all parts of the wor'd. This intrigue was stamped out instantly by the attitude of the American Bishops, who, without walting to see whether it re- ceived the approval of any other section of the conference, declared that they could not even consider such a scheme, The Bish- op of Minnesota declared in accents of de- termination that, “the indepencent church in America would never consent to surren- der a particle of its {ndependence,"” The project was then dropped, but the Engiish and Colonial Bishops could not eonceal thr ir disappointment that what had_ evidently been one of the main objects of the confer- ence should so signally fail. The picturesque proposal of Dr. Herzl for floating a limited Lability company in London, with several millions capital, to carry out the resettlement of the Jews_in Palestine, has created a sensation here. Dr. Adier, chief Rabbi, says: ‘I fully indorse what has been said on the subject by the Rabbis 'n Germany, who are men of the most different shades of religious thought. I consider the holding of this Congress at Basle an egregious blunder. While I yletd to none in being an ardent lover of Alon, while Il lay the greatest possible strese on the importance of establishing colonies in Palestine, while I think it of the uvimost moment to generously support and to wise- ly, justly and intelligently administer yari- ous institutions in the Holy Land, I o« lieve Dr. Herzi's idea of establishing a Jewish Btate there to be absolutely m achievors. It is contrary to Jewish principles, the teaching of the prophets and the traditions of Judaism. It Is a movement that can be fraught with tncalculable harm, It may lead people to think that we Jews are not fired with ardent loyalty for the country in which it is our lot to be placed. In gay- ine thie IT believe I am press ng the qpin- fon of, with a few exceptions, the entire Anglo-Jewish community.” Sir Charles Dilke told me yerterday that ' § he intendg to press the Under Becretary for Foreign Affairs in the House of Com- mons Monday to promise the publication of the Bering Sea correspondence before the rising of Parilament next Saturday. Sir Charlies believes that the dispatches will remove a 000d deal of the feeling which now exists, and cons‘ders it most undes'r- ble that they should be withheld any , onger. General John W.

Lord Wolseley stated that it would be madness to send any man into action again carrying the regimental colors. Germany has adopted the plan of using the bare poles on which colors were formerly fixed, but he did not commend even that compromise, Sir Evelyn Wood, a possible future Com- mander-in-Chief, evidently differs with his Superior on this point. He has said: ‘It is suggested that they are cumbersome and a cause of sacrifices. After all they are but a colored rag on a stick and is it worth whiie to risk men’s lives for a piece of silk? You might as well say that because honor is invis.ble and faith impalpable, they do not exist as loadstones to the human mind.” The other announcement ts that a bDri- gade of foot guards when removed to the new station at G'bralter are for the first time in history to abandon the. famous bearskin hat, which has always been a dis- tinctive feature. Immense importance is attached by military men to these appar- ently trifling innovations.

Whether oceupation of the islet {gs temporary or per- manent and if permanent whether any communication to that effect will be ed- dressed to the Government of the HaWaiian Republic or to any other power?” The feeling here as expressed in the press and in political circles is strongly in favor of holding the island if it can be claimed as a British possession and there is littie doubt that the British Foreign Office does 80 claim it, Miss Ethel Barrymore, daughter of Mau- moe Barrymore, has received a larger share of social success than falls to the lot of most American girls in London.

C, July 31.—The com- parison of the present tariff law with the Wilson act authorized by Congress has been completed. It was made by Charles H.

General Complaint of the Work- ing of the Tariff Law. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., July °‘31.—Com- plaints against the new tariff measure are spreading to nearly every class of interest throughout the entire country.

Great hardship will surely result from the increased price of woolens, boots and shoes. There has already been a substantial ad- vance 'n the former and the Leather Trust has decided that, under the advanced price imposed on the im- ported article by the new tariff, it cannot, sell ite product at the present rates and, make the profit to which its officers believ® it is entitled.

Negro Throws Her Down, Tears Her Clothes, Cuts Off Her Hair and Clubs Her. POLICE INERT IN THE CASE. Think the Girl Had a “Motive” and Likely Got Herself Abused to Bother Them. The police are making no effort to 4ls- cover and bring to punishment the black brite who assaulted 16-year-old Minnle Schmidt Friday nicht. The girl was knocked down at Twelfth etreet and Morrison avenue. Her clothing Was torn open and d'isarganged. She was subjected to gross indign'ties. She was etruck with a club. Her hair wags cut of with a razor. She was so terribly fright ened that for an hour after she was un- able to give an intelikgible account of her adventure. The negro who committed the assault gaid he would subject other girls to the Bamrne treatment. But the police have a theory. They affect to believe there ts a “‘motive’’ behind the girl's story. Thev do not know what the motive but they are sure she had some deep, dark purpose in getting into such an adventure.

Encouraged by Mrs. Race, the girl told her story. i “Suat After I passed the corner,” she said, eard geome one call me. “T thought I looked back. A young negro was standin I walke there. Nobody else was in sight. faster. The next minute he grabbed =e and threw me down. He said he would ki mé if I screamed. After he had searched me and cut off my hear, he said: “ ‘Now I've got your hair, and I'm after some other girls.’ “When he started to run he dropped my hair. I picked it up and pinned it on the best I could, because I didn’t want to at- tract attention. I went home and got back here at 10 o’clock.”’ Mss Schm'‘dt had a very heavy head of dark brown hair, and was proud of it. She had pinned it on yesterday and was wear- ing it. Mrs. Race said the police seemed to dis- credit the girl’s statement. ‘os ““M nnie has worked for me two months, ehe said. “She s a good girl, and always tells me the truth. I believe her now. M'nnie’s mother, Mrs. Jacob Schmidt, eaid that Minnie was certainly teiling the she came home,” gaid Mrs. Schm'‘dt, “she was still so frightened and cry ne so hard she could hardly tell me what had happened.” Minnie has a pretty face, and is wel] de- veloped for her age. She ie bright, and tells a direct story. She gives a good de- scription of the negro. He wore a dark straw hat, a brown undershirt, an alpaca coatand light trousers. He had a red hand- kerch ef around his forehead and another pround his neck. He wore a small mus- tache. MINNIE SCHMIDT’S HAIR CUT OFF BY A NEGRO FOOTPAD. ee crowning glory has a “motive,” the police are not supposed to work very hard on the case and if they fail to catch anybody no reat blame can attach to them. There- ore, Minnie Schmidt had a motive.” The girl's experience was a terrible one, At 8:15 Friday night she left the home of Police Officer L. H. Race, 108 St. Ange avenue, where she !{s employed, to go to her home at 1270 South Thrd etreet. At Twelfth street and Morrison avenue there is a large b.llboard. She was walking past this when a man clutched her by the back of the neck. He twisted her half way around. “If you make a sound,” he hoarsely whis- pered, “I will shoot you dead.” He struck her on the forehead with his fist to clinch the injunction, and threw her to the ground. “Give me your money,” he sald. “I have not got a cent; please let me go,”’ she pleaded. He did not want money. He did not ex- her back. He knelt pect to find any. She was lying on down on one knee and felt in her sleeves. He tore open the bosom of her dress, and Batisfied imself that she did not carry her pocketbook in her stocking. Rolling her over on her face he pulled the pins out of her coil of hair. Part of them he placed in her hand. The rest he threw away. Seizing the plait he drew a razor from his pocket and cut it off close to her head. “Remember, if you make a noise 1 will kill you,” he sa!d, pointing a small revolver | at her face. He drew a short club from under his coat, hit her on the back with it, and start- ed away. The plait of hair he had hurriedly thrust in his coat pocket. It fell out as he started to run. He went south on Twelfth str: et. The girl lay still] until she could no longer | hear his footsteps. Then she arose and, | icking up the plait of hair, ran home and old her parents, They are ignorant persons. They did not know what to do. They told her ro gO back | and tell OMcer Race, her employer.

There seems to be no way for Judge Pea- body to escape be ng tr'ed by Judge Murphy on the charge of oppression in office, pre- ferred by C. Brockway Storts, a Four Courts lawyer. Judge Murphy has virtually refused to either disqualify himself or grant a change of venue, and said that the case would be set for trial on Aug. 10. What purported to be elther an affidavit disqualifying Judge Murphy or petitioning for a change of venue was filed at noon yes- terday. At 3 o’clock Judge Murphy an- nounced that as far as he could see the court had nothing before it save to fix a day for the trial. The paper presented by Asiiley C,.

The romance of Muiti-millionaire Carnegie carries a warning to those women who can- not appreciate men of small stature. The beautiful young woman he would have mar- ried in his younger days refused him be- cause he was so short in stature. She wanted a “‘“‘manly man.”” She never got a “manly man” and remains unmated to this day, while rich old Andrew is a happy hus- band and papa. However, let me not be un- derstood as advising, in all cases, the mat- ing of men and women of any stature. Just let the little man’s merits be property con- sidered. In bold relief, on an'‘Aurora (Ill.) egg is a woman feeding chickens; and that is the way the egg came from the hen that la‘d it. Here is a case of pre-natal impression which the sc:entists will have to look into. — Nobody in England wants to give more than $26,000 for the Duke of Manchester's supposed somebody in the United States wants it enough to pay more. Its former ducal connection doesn’t seem to appeal to ne be that this connection is worth $44,000. Some Croesus returning from the Klondike may take it; or the Kansans may buy it for Mary Lease when she is inaugurated Governess.. These are the days of the Jingo bully. He wants to fight the world. You can hear him fn the street cars, in the barber shops, in the restaurants—at all places where men most do congregate—and his yawp is an af- fliction to the ear and a weariness unto the flesh He cries aloud for blood. Spain and Japan would not make it Interesting for us and he will not be satisfied unless, tn addition to possible complications with thesé coun- tries, we can get on an engagement with England over the seals in the Bering Straits. Then, he ts willing to admit, there might be something in the situation ex- citing enough to keep a man out of the blues. Jingoism is a sort of cowardly tndulgence. Its foundation is the boast of brute strength used for pride or oppression and not to pro- tect the weak or sustain justice—the only justification of its use. All over China and Japan American flour is being introduced, and the new Ch'na and Japan will have hot biscuits, hot rolls, doughnuts, double crust pies and every form of indigestible baking known to our Ameri- can civilization. However, we may also send these progressives bran bread and whole wheat products when the!r dyspep- tics are fully established. My elderly friend who investigated Spir- itualism has heard Helen Gould's beautiful life explained. The great financier, who was her father, sees in his spirit life what he did not perceive when he was absorbed in amassing his enormous fortune. As a repentant.spirit he is inspiring his daughter and leading) her in the way of philanthropy and beneficence, thus atoning, so far as he can, for what. he left undone while in the flesh. Whether this explanation is true or false it embodies a view more pleasing than that of orthodoxy of the occupation in the future life of the soul that fails to live up to the standard. The fact that Alabama tobacco chewers submitted to a church tax of $10 a year, and promptly paid up, must be placed to their credit. The cost of a year’s tobacco added to a ten-dollar tax is no smal) matter. Pos- sibly some of these generous fellows have deprived themselves of_a cuspidor in order to meet this additional outlay. A French artillery officer thas invented a bullet made of paper and coated with alu- minum, the object being to prevent the shattering of bones and unnecessary: lacer- ation, while the temporary disablement of the soldier hit by such a bullet is as com- plete as with a leaden nrissile. | This is a step inthe right direction. When it is recognized that the temporary disa- bility of as’ many soldiers as possible is the object of a battle, and not their permanent maiming or death, the inventors will turn their attention this way. Why not invent a.cannon that will shoot wooden balls, coat- ed with enough cotton waste and leather to stun without Injuring the enemy’s soldiers. In fact, the balls might be made hard enough to give anyone hit a bad headache for a few days. But perhaps the best in- vention of all would be weapons that would shoot “high balls’’ into the enemy. It would be an easy matter to capture a “half shot’’ army oranavy “half seas over.’’ The dam.- age would be limited to a headache and a bad taste. —— ee The story of the monkey tn the Omaha show proves that the simian immigrant parrots. much of sheol as the parrot, in the story, and the trouble that was made for the lions was extremely picturesque.

NEW YORK, July 31.—Wall street has been seized by a genuine gold fever as a result of the discoverics in the Klondike. Men who have mined and made and lost money; men who have always thought they might speculate a little in mining and men who have had an abhorrence of mining, are @ll affected the same way. More than half a dozen banking concerns —Whore etandine 'n the financial world is the best—-have actually turned away from $5,000 to $125,009 ench which cuvrtomers Wished to invest in the great gold fields of Alatka., Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co., H. L. Horton Co., Charles Head & Co., are some of the firms who have more money cffered for in- Vestment than they have dpsired., The prejudice against mining is waning. Only recently bankers who dabbled in mines were looked upon with about as much sue- Ppicion by the'r customers as a bank clerk would be who regularly played the races. But that ic wearing off, and the best con- cerns are beginning to mine in one way or nother. Among the various business ouses who are either interested In the Klondike, who have sent a representative there or who have made up their minds to do soare: R. P. Lounshberry & Co., M, Gue- gertiheim Sons, Kean, Van Cortland & Co., H. BB. Hollins & Co., H. L. Hortoh & Ca, Charles Head & Co. and Seligman & Co. In many ‘nstances the firm is sending the feprestentative and in other cases clients and customers are sending them. Washington Connor and Deacon White are fitting out such expeditions. The brokers of the Mining Exchange are thinking of forming a company and send ng two exper!- er.ced California m'ners to the Klondike.

The excitement over the recent discovery of gold promises to crystalige into many business undertakings. One of the latest, the Northwest Mining Co., with a capital of $5,000,000 was organized here to-day. It pur- poses to develop and operate such valuabe discoveries as may be made and to estab! sh them and the United States. The c mpany will own its own steamers.

These will soon be geent to Alaska. Mr. Morgan, the agent in Alaska, has secured severa) val- uable claims, and at one of these a large stamp mill wiil be built. Secretary Gage expresses the beiief that the great d's°overies of gold in Alaska w'll have a mate:vial «ffect on the currency ques- tion, by reacon of the large addition to the wor'd’s supply of gold, and that it will also increase the price of silver.

When word came down that there was rich pay dirt on the Klondike, Mrs. Wills joined the stampede. She went with a par- ty of cattlemen. The trip was rough, but she did not complain, and was not a burden to the men who led the spurt for the new diggings. On a former occasion, she did not fare so well. On the way she became sick, and for four days it was feared she would die. She was the only woman ina »arty of 150 miners. The-miners did not think of leaving her behind, but as one of them said on returning last spring: “If she had died we would have made a coffin of her blanket and dropped her initoa crevice and pushed on as if nothing had happened.” When Mrs. Wills reached Dawson she made a dash with the best of the men fora claim. But as the value of the surrounding claims come to be worth $25,000 to $1,000,000, claim jumping began and she had to fignt for her property. It is valued at $250,(00. While holding on to her claim Mrs. Wills spends her lesure moments earning $15 a day as head cook for the Alaskan Com- mercial Co. at Dawson City. —_——+-—sr dS d- Oo - rr— - WARNING FROM LA DUE. Says the Amount of Food Going North Has Been Overstated. Special to the Post-D!spatch. SCHUYLER FALLS, N. Y., July 31.— Joseph La Due, who recently came home from Alaska to marry a girl who waited while he made a fortune, thinks hard times are ahead in the gold region on account of lack of food. He writes: I read an article written by Joaquin Mil- ler, saying there will be no siarvation in the Yukon Valley this season and that the steamers Alice and Belle would make five trips up the Yukon, taking 450 tons each trip. Mr. Miller does not know what he is talking about. It is a fact that the steamer will not make more than three trips and will not take more than 450 tons each trip and out of that’ the food will not average over 8300 tons. That I am positive of. People will starve iike rats if this is al- lowed to go on. I beg you to contradict that statement and warn all against going this season. Any and all statements made in regard to the amount of supplies which will go into the Yu'con this season I can vouch for nearlv as closely as though I were there, | for l-am well posted on what the steamers can do, avold:ng any accident which is strongly against us. It is true that the N. A, T. Co. of Chi- cugo has two steatners which will dis- tribute at all the different posts on the river about 1800 tons of solid food. W:th all of th's there will be a great shortage. Boys, take a good outfit with you if you go this fall or next spring. as you were onee nursed by your fond mothers, J.

An 18-vear-old boy stood before the desk at the Third District Stat’on last night. Blood trickled down his face and over his shirt front from cuts over his eye, on his chin and back of his right ear. Biood from a scalp wound matted his hair. He had been clubbed by Po.iceman Dre- hon. Twice while he was trying to tell hia name he grew faint and was forced to straixhten up by a poke in the ribs with the elub that had done the bloody work.

Kenney a Puzzle to Judge Stevenson. —— - — SAYS HE IS A HALF BROTHER. Kenney Denies It and Says He Lived With the Woman as Her Husband. Mrs. Maggie Finch of 2124 North Eleventh street succeeded yesterday in the Second District Police Court in having George H. Kenney, the man she claims as a half brother, fined $% for cisturbing her peace. Judge Stevenson wasted an hour in trying . | ! nurtured and to get at the true relat'onship between the. two, but signally jailed, and ruled.out all testimony on that line. “Mrs. Finch was cross-charged with having disturbed Ken- ney’s peace, and her husband figured tnci- dentally, as corry!ng concealed weapons. The armrests vere made at the Finch hc use Thursday night, shortly after Mrs. Finch sent a bullet after Kenney. She was repre- sented by H. R. Watson and Brock Storts looked after KRenney’s case. Patrolmen Duffy and Denehy of the F’fth District test'fied they had ben appealed to earlier in the evening by Finch, who seemed to fear an attack from Kenney. They saw none of the actual trouble, but made the arrests. “i was attracted bv loud cursing at my front door,” said Mrs. Finch, “and went to the window. I saw George ouis.de of tae screen door. He was threatening my hus- band about some tools he said we had, but really know nothing of. He left in a few mo- ments, saying he would return in twenty minutes to ‘flix you,’ meaning my husband, and that ‘wife of yours.’ That was me. went down stairs to learn the trouble and my husband told me he feared an attack from George and for me to go on the porch and watch for his re'‘urn. “He came back about 9 o’clock. This time I saw his wife. She staved across thes ret while he came up to the steps and, calling me a bad name, threw his hand to his hip pocket. I ran in then. got my husband's revolver, fired it to attract the police and then threw it back into the house. Mv hus- band. hearing the shooting, came to the front room, picked up the revolver and stepped on the front porch in time to be arrested.”’ There was no reference to relationship in the direct testimony. The witness was given to Storts. i “How long have you known Kenney, Mrs. Finch?” was asked. “Since I was 7 years old.”’ ‘“Hiow old are you now?” “Thirty-two.”’ “Is he a relative of yours?” ees.” “What?” “To the best of my knowledge he ts my half brother.”’ “Who told you that?’ “He did and so did my mother.” “Did you ever live with this man as his rife?’’ “This was ruled out as irrelevant, and the inquiries went back to the incidents of the alleged disturbance. Mr. Finch was called and corroborated his wife's testimony. “What have been the relations between this man Kenney and your wife,” asked Storts. “They were pleasant until he abused her.”’ “Were they intimate?’ Objected to and sustained. “What do you know about the character ’ of Kenney?’ “Tt is bad. He is an ex-convict.” This created an uproar among the array of witnesses, bringing @ Deputy Marshal to the box. “Tlow do you know that?’ “tie burnt up his pardon from the Leaven- worth penitentiary in our house in Kansas City. The hubbub continued among Kenney’s witnesses, and as the end of such a line of interrogation weu'd thave no bearing on the disturbance charge, the witness was>* dis- missed, with a Question about the alleged relationship. ‘Is this man related to your wife?” ‘He is her half-brother,”’ replied Finch. Several witnesses were examined as to Kenney'’s conduct prior to the shooting. Their testimony in the main bore out Mrs Finch’s story. Kenney was then placed upon the stand. He denied ‘havin used any strong lan- guage, and said Finch admitted he had the tools and offered to give them up for 60 cents. He said when he passed the house the second time with his wife Mrs. Finch taunted him about failing to get his prop- erty, and whem he crossed the street fired directly at him. “Mrs. Finch fs your sister, isn’t she?” asked Mr. Watson. “ “No, sir, she is not and here are docu- ments to prove it.””. He produced his birth certificate and affidavits of his sisters in New York who, he says, knew Mrs. Finch “Didn't you make a public statement to that effect and have it published in the newspapers?’ “No, sir, that was a forgery.’’ Judge Stevenson interrupted further testi- mony on this line, and asked the w'tness if it was true he had lived with Mrs. Finch as her husband, under the conditions pub- lished. “Yes, sir, and her husb the time.” and knew it all “How long did you live with her?” never months.’’ Mrs. Kenney followed her husb oeee te nse restimony. She was — = mitte Oo tell of Mrs, Finch’: - —/ for Kenney. == ohn Burke of 3112 Sheridan avenue wa called to prove Mrs. Finch’s disposition. ‘ cin testify to that,” he said. “Mrs. Finch broke our engagement.” “What did she have to 40 with . Nothing. But told lies just the same. and got my girl to thinking I was no good.” “Who was your girl?’ “A widow itn the West End.” “Her name?’ “I won't tell. I'm glad its Over, because she had too much money for my capacity.” Upon cross-examination the witness ad- mi‘tted all he knew was gossip. In reviewing the cas: Judge Stevenson said he could not see where the Finches were to blame, and discharged them. Ken- ney, he said, had no bus!ness aroun4 there, + or no sister, and he would fine him 25. The case was appealed. 5 < ——— —— THE ST. TERESA’S TROUBLES. A Letter Showing Why the Sodality and Foot Ballers Fell Out. The following, handed in yesterday by a member of St. Teresa's Young Men's Sodal- .ty, shows just where the shoe pinches and just why there is trouble between the so- dality and the young men who called them- selves the Teresa Foot Ball Club and who gave that excursion on the river last ihurs- day night: Editor Post-Dispatch: In reference to the several articles pub- lished during the past few days relative to the differences existing between ‘the St. Teresa's Young Men’s Sodal.ty and the m.ombers of the ‘‘Teresa’’ Foot Ball Club, the members of the sodality beg to submit the foliowing statement of facts: _ The trouble has its origin pr.marily from the most reprehensible and unfair conduct of the members of the foot ball team in the division of the proceeds of the lust game played with the Cycl.ng Club for the championship, Up to the time of said division, and, in fact, throughout the suc- cessful career of the foot ball ciub, every- thing worked in harmony between the sodality and club, as naturally should be the case, the foot bali club having been supported by the members of the sodal.ty. The foot ball club, however, in the final settlement of their affairs in connection with the last game, saw fit to entirely ignore the cla ms of several of the members, two of whom at least were acilv members, and not substitutes as the mem bers of the foot bal] club would have the) public believe. To aggravate this condition; of affairs, in turning down these members, } who were equa ly as instrumental In secur-{ ing the success of the club in the past four! years aS any meinber on it, the foot ball} club saw fit to divide up and share a por- tion of their proceeds with two substitutes, one of whom never played a single game with the team and the other but one, and that one being one of smal! moportance. Nor did thev ston at this. There were two more compensated for wearing the title of manager for a few months, Their action in this aita:r was openly de- nounced in the sodality meeting, the mem- bers of the football! club being present, and on account of their lack of principle and their unfairness in this matter they were strongly condemned and disowned by s0o- dality members. It is apparent to any one acquainted with these facts, as the majority of St. Teresa’s oeoggs ners are, that the football = club ave tried to cover up their delinquency and to retain the good will of the public at large have on every occasion possible rushed into print, misrepresented. facts and endeavored to ascribe other reasons than the true one. Relative to our recent article disclaiming all connections with the excursion given by the ‘“‘Teresa’”’ football club, we beg to add that said article contrary to Mr. Cos- tigan’s statement in Thursday’s Post-Dis- patch, was authorized by a majority of the sodality officers, said officers knowing the sentiment of members, and that said article was published not with the- intention of representing the football club as a ‘“‘fake’’ club, but to inform the friends of the sodality that the sodality as a body had nothing to do with this excursion and did not care to be identified with it. This action, itself, would not have been taken had the ‘‘Teresa”’ football club con- fined itself to its new title, but when they saw fit to use St. Teresa’s Sodality name in full and mislead the public by representing it as one of St. Teresa’s annual excursions, when in reality this was their first ex- cursion, it was time to call a halt. In conclusion we beg to add that it fs not our intention to detract from any of their well-earned laurels, nor do we envy them in any new ones they may acquire, but in the future we do object to being in any way identified with them and do not want to be held responsible for their good deeds or misdeeds. We will organize another ciub for the coming season, which, if not at first equally as proficient in the game, will at least have our utmost confidence. And we will use every means in our power to prevent an infringement on the name in Signed: St. Teresa’s Young Men‘s So- dality, R.. S. MeKeown, prefect: L. W. y, first assistant; Jos. A.

Jameson's raid into the in January, 1896, was charged to have been made with the krniowledge of Premier Cecil Rhodes and the secret connivance of the British Colonial Secretary, Dr. Transvaal Joseph Chamberlain. Parliament ordered an inquiry into that charge. Rhodes was convicted of complicity, but Chamberlain was cleared. Flora Shaw, a clever wo- man journalist on the staff of the London Times, was in close com- munication al] through the raid pe- riod with both Khodes and Cham- berlain. She was a witness before the Parliamentary Committee. Her evidence let Chamberlain out. This is the story of the romantic part she played in the great Transvaal raid conspiracy. eecoeoeceeeeeeesseeseeeesaeeeeseeens / Bpecial Correspondence Sunday Post Dispatch. LONDON, July 21.—The French misogy- nist whose axiom was, in all insoluble mys- terles, ‘““Cherchez la femme,” might claim that the history of the Jameson raid con- epiracy furnishes a fresh proof of his in- sight into the mainsprings of human ac- tion. Rut he would be making an unjusti- fable assumption. It is true that Miss Flora Shaw was the hub around which that plot revolved, but neither passion nor sentiment had any- thing to do with her influence in it. She took the central part, not because ehe was a woman, but because she was the cleverest, most useful and adaptable in- triguer in the band. On the witness stand ehe displayed her gifts to the admiration of all believers. She had a mass of com- promising cables, dispatched by her to Rhodes and received by her from him and his lieutenants, to disentangle herself from. The task seemed hopeless, but she ac- quitted herself of it with flying colors. She was the deftest and most plausible, the most reticent and yet the most seemingly frank and ingenuous witness that took the stand. Who Flora ‘Shaw Is. Miss Shaw is the daughter of Irish arents, and is a niece of Sir Eyre Massy haw, for many vears the Captain of the London Fire Brigade. When quite a girl she took a place 4s traveling companion to an English lady of title. While (hus en- aged she began to write letiers on colonial opics to some of the London papers, and ultimately got employment from the Lon- don Times. For the past nine years she has filled the position of chief writer for the Times on colonial questions. Seven years @go she was sent on a roving commiss.on round the worid for the paper. Her letters attracted widespread attention, they dis- played so much insight and knowledge. It was during this trip that she met Mr. Rhodes at Cape Town. He at once recognized her ability, and appreciated the fact that it was worth while making her a supporter of his imperialistic designs. Me has ever gince consulted Miss Shaw on every move on the political board in Cape Ceiony in which British sentiment had to be consid- ered. Had he taken her advice on the con- ditions of the raid it might not have ruined his career and indefinitely postponed the ruition of the echemes to which his life as been devoted. Her Appearance. Her appearance is extremely lady-lke, even atylish, and ehe has nothing of the blue-stocking about her. Her features are regular, her nose straight and well formed her mouth flexible, and her chin full of resolution. : Her eyes, however, are her most attrac- tive feature. They are sympathetic, deep- ray eyes, tending almost to brown, shin- ng with clear and quick intelligence. But she is seo thoroughly buainess-| ke in her manner, she intrudes her sex so little and takes so independent and yet natural a etand that you forget she is a woman when you hear her talk. Her voice is low and penctrating, her manner decisive, her grasp of che questions put to her sure and instantaneous, her ca- pacity for explaining away awkward cir- cumstances quite captivating in its suave and candid perfection. er ® might be Say sang between ® Q@nd 38, though rumor. puts it higher still, She is above the middle height, siitght and Graceful of figure, and she wore a vell Which she never raised when before the committee. .

" ae ; ‘ 8 ~ ment. She conferred with Joseph Chamber- lain and the under secretaries on every fresh develogment at the Cape and at Pretoria. She brought them advance information ca- bled by the Times’ news correspondents, and the Government availed itself of her infor- mation. She assumed, and deservedly as- sumed, the position of a specialist on Souta African affairs. She was not trusted merely by Mr. Cham- berlain and the permanent neads of the de- partment, but by Lord Ripon, the preceding (‘olonial Secretary under Mr. Gladstone. She knew too much, In fact, of the aims and »0lley of both parties to permit Sir William iarcourt handling her roughly before the committee. She was too astute, however, to let any inkling of this secret leak out In her examination, but that she wielded it was abundantly clear by the whole trend of the inquiry. A Remarkable Witness. To @ person of less resources her exper'i- ence on the witness stand might have beén fraught with serious consequences to her reputation for veracity. She was first ex- amined on May 25. She then said she had received only three cables from Mr. Rhodes. These she did not produce, vut she gave the ist of them. On July 2 she was again put Orward for examination and meanwhile the cable office files had been searched and five cables d scovered—in the South Africa Com- any'’s secret code—from Miss Shaw to Mr. thodes. The two, the existence of which she had forgotten, had turned out to be the only really important ones of the lot. But she was not in the slightest degree non- Plussed by the discovery. She was awfully sorry that they had slipped her memory and with a few plausible sentences she disposed of this rather ugly lapse. The first of these cables was from Rhodes and was directed to “inform Chamber- Jain I shall get through all right if he gup- ports me,’’ This was after Jameson had started and after the failure of the raid was appre- hended, The other was: ‘‘Unless you can make Chamberlain direct High Commiss!oner go at once to Johannesburg the whole siiua- tion will be lost.’’ These cables pointed directly to an under- Standing on Chamberlain's part as to the raid, and a knowledge on the part of Mr. Rhodes that Miss Shaw was acting as an intermed ary between them. They very compromis.ng on the face of them. But Miss Shaw was equal to the situation. Did she convey these appeals to Mr. Cham- ih iempted to reform . berliain? No, she didn't. She testified that she .ook no notice of these most important cables from Mr. Khodes, with whom, up to that po.nt she had been acting in the closest concert, It was inexpHcable, but she _ in- S.sied that she never communicated them to Mr. Chamberlain. The fact remains that Mr. Chamberlain did all he. could to support Mr. Rhodes, and that he d.d hurriediy dispatch the High (ommissioner te Johannesbure, for all the world as if he thad acted on Mr. Rhodes’ Suggestions im these cabies, which Miss -_ -+—-— ee looked | on -sight. Oh, Shaw solemnly dec.ared he never heard of. | Her Advice Rejected. One more example of Miss Shaw’s pre- science and judgment. Eariy in December Mr. Rhodes, replying to an inquiry from her, cabled that the inroad would be made on January 2. She cabled back that the de- lav was dangerous: that the posture of af- fairs between England and Germany and the United States threatened serious com- pitcations, and that the plan had better be carried out at once. But Mr. Rhodes and his friends dilly-dallied, the raid was post- poned, the Boers had full time to make pre- | parations and when Jameson did move he merely fell into a trap. Had Miss Shaw’s advice been adopted it is now admitted that Jameson would have reached Johannesburg, and, having done so, the object of the raid would have been at- tained. Hers was a] through the clearest, most far-seeing, most adequately equipped intellect of the party.- She was a much more formidable: opponent of President Kruger than all the rest of them put together. It need not be imagined that Mies Shaw's position is in the slightest degree injured by her connection with this fiasco of a con- Spiracy. On the contrary. she. has taken per place as one of the heroines of English 1istory. She played >er part with consummate Skill. Shoe played .her triune part of Times representative, Rhodes’s arent and adviser to the Colontal Office with absolute mastery of all the complexities of so ardu- Ous a position. She ‘[s feted in London so- elety, she has strengthened her hold on the Times, and she holds the Colonial Office and Mr. Chamberlain in the hollow of her hand, and has still an unrestricted entree to that department.

Ail at once her hand began to / move involuntar..y and the pencil to point 'ou. letters. At first the girl gave the matter no attention. Then she noticed that the lei- ters indicated were in such sequence as to Spell out words and coherent sentences. As a test she wrote the alphabet upon a sheet of card board and using the pencil as a po.nter received a number of communica- tions of an astounding nature. iecentiy she has experimented by sitting at a type- wr.ter and receiving messages through the Keyboard. Sometimes the keys are struck with sufficient foree to furnish copy from the machine. Ordi ly the letters are j merely pointed out d-called off while a ‘friend recorus them. Many of the messages are of no mean literary ability, While Miss Reilly is °a (young woman of more than ordinary cult- jure, she has never given ev:dence of such jfacility in composition and expression as e indicated in some of her communica- tions, The unknown whose messages she rece has assumed various commonly used are Elygha, Heine, Max and sometimes “the dev." Its ad- dress is invariably given as hades and among its first commun:cations was a de- ecription of the sights, suunds and sensa- tions characteristic of its abode.

Umpire and Player Knocked Out by the Intense Heat of Yesterday. There were hot times at Sportsman's Park yesterday afternoon. The sun shone so hot Umpire McDonald refused to work under It. It was £0 hot In the field that Pitcher Mc- Dermott quit work before the first inning of the first game was half over. It was so hot the crowd in the bleachers tried to get out into the field, but the poiice prevented them. It was so hot that even the water in the shoot the chutes pond looked warm and that Jakey, the rooter, suspended opera- . tions several times to hit the beer keg in under the grand sta! Bt. Louls made Louisville a present of the first came. Grimes, her young pitcher, who did quite foston, went up in the air Well against while facing the lLouisvilies, Hie hit several men, made several bad breaks in flelding and altogether destroyed the good impression he made during h.s in- itial appeuratice here. The first eame came very near breaking up in a row. In the absente of the regu- lar, the umpires were Hart 6f St. Louls and Cunningham of Lou'sv ile. Hart called balls and strikes one inning and then went to the field the next and cailed the base decisions, the Louisville man alternating with him. In the first game MeCreery opened the ball for Lou svile in the second ‘nning with @ corking hit to center for three bases, and he came home while the side were gong out. St. Louls tiled the score in her half. Cross hit safe and then stole second prettily. On Grimes’ ht to right he scored. St. Louls had a close cal) in the third. The Colonels then got three on bases, with Werden at bat, The bg ex-pieman flew out to Lally and Clark scored. McCreery, who followed, only got the ball as far as sec- ond, and he went out at first, leaving all hands on deck. > It looked like St. Lou's’ game in the Jast half of ths inning. Harley then went to base on bails. Grady batted the ball) to far left for a home run. Houseman went to first on balls. Cross hit to left for two bases, sending TlIlouseman to third. Murphy got in a beauty to lef: and House- man and Cross scored, liere were four runé, and St. Louis looked lke a sure winner. But Loulsville came again tin the fourth. Grimes went to pieces at this stag. He hit Johnson and Wilson with the ball, and when Clingman hit an easy one to him Grimes went daffy ard threw the ba!l] to third so badly he failed to catch his man. here were three Colonels on the bags when Clark, their top batsman, came to bat. He hit to right for two bases, bring- ing all hands home. On Stafford’s fly to center Clark scored, and the Louisvilies Were in the lead again. In the fifth came the wrangle. Werden was hit by a pitched ball. McCreery sent a high* one, which Cross dropped purposely. McCreery was declared out, and while both sides were wrangling Werden tried to walk to second. He was put out, and the inning ended with a blank. Cross tied the game for St. Louis in their half of the fifth with a beauty bright to left, on which he covered the circuit. Both sides were bianked in the sixth, but in the seventh the Louisvilles again got ‘n the swim. Johnson hit the ball down in ront of the plate. Morgan Murphy picked t up and threw so w.ld Johngon went to second. Wilson hit safe and Johnson scored. This gave Louisville the lead and she held it to the end. In the eighth both sides were blanked, but in the ninth Louisville put handcuffs on the game. Butch Wagner opened with a ciean hit. Werden hit to Grimes, who threw w 1}d, and Wagner went to third. McCreary hit * Safe, sending Werden to second. Johnson's slow hit to Hartman, which he weat to first, filled the bases. Cross dropped W_Jlson’s igh fly and the bateman was declared out. Grimes sent Clingman to first, forcing Werden home. McGee hit to Cross, — ‘4 Ci ngman out at second, but MeCreery an Johnson scored on the play. The Browns were blanked in their half and the game ended with Louisville a winner. 7 Lous. | sOvIsviLie. | AL TL POA FE ADU POAR Douglas, rf 6 2 0 O Clarke, If... 3 5 0 0 1 Stafford, ses. 5 ) OU Wagner, cf. 4 1 O Werden, 1b. 4 0 O M'Creery, rf 5 > 2 Johnson, 2b. 2 0 Wilson, ec...

Browns Win the Second. There was so much trouble with the um- Pires in the first game that both s'des agreed on Frank Pears, the well-known young professional pitcher, and he umpuired the second contest nobly and well. This sec- ond game, by the way, was a brilliant ex- hibition of preying on both sides. Neither team scored until the fifth inning. Then Bt. Louls broke the ice, Hart led off with @ grand hit to right center for three bases and he came home on Hartman's tingle in the same d.rection. The visitors got gay in the sixth. Staf- ford and Wagner doub): d, Stafford scoring dariey dropped Werden’s fy afier a hard run and Wagner went to third. tl came home from third on McCreerv'e single.

THEY SPLIT Tht CARD, =_ —— — Favorites Won Three Races on the Fair Grounds Track. FERROLL THE GOOD THING. Clarence O‘Fallon’s Donation Rewarded His Backers by Beating Good Ones. Although races have been run on sixty- seven racing days at the Fair Grounds dur- ing the present meeting, there have been during that long period few larger crowds than that of yesterday. Saturday usually brings a big crowd out) to the races for it is a half holiday, but the crowd of yesterday was almost a rec- ' ord-breaker. In the city the weather was hot and | stifling. Out at the track, in the big shady grand etand, refreshing breezes passed | through, and the people who Kept still spent: S a very pleasant afternoon. The regulars were out to a man or wom- an, but in the big crowd were many new faces. A number of these were ladies wearing the latest midsumer fashions, and they made a pretty picture on the lawn and verandas of the club house. Favorites took their share of the purses, In the first race there was the hottes sort of a tip out on Rodegap’s Himyar fil- ly, Ferroll. Rodegap had always. said hing at the track that can beat the twenty-four hour record, unpaced. began at 2:30 p. m. yesterday and finished at cover _ng 323 miles. 23 Meixell was off the pretty near right yesterday. As the Ferroll tip traveled some of the lucky ones began to back her, and the odds | steadily declined from 15 to 1 until 6 to 1, i'was about the best price against her. Judge Napton and Judicious Jed for half ithe distance, and the later showed the thir- | teen others the way into the stretch. Half way down the darky Lynch, on Ferroil, sent her out. She passed the others and reached Injudictous. Half a dozen jumps, and he was beaten. Ferroll won with ease. Valid and Celia B., the favorites at 2 to l “ye t tt! nish inside | each in the betting, did not finish | record for two-thirds of a mile, from 1:26 1-5 the money. In the second Senator Morrill, the 2-to-1 favorite over Nicolini and Al Miles, took | the lead at the fall of the flag and stayed | in front all the way around, winning with- out being pushed. or the third race there was but a small | field, only five going to the gate. Glad Eyes was.the best on form, and at no t-me _ did the books lay as much as 2 to 1 aga_nst | her. There was a rush of money on Can I See "Em, and her price was cut from 7 to 1 down to 2 to 1 overlooked by the crowd. He was no 6t 1 shot in that bunch, but Glad Eyes an Can I See 'Em carried most of the money. He was among the first three until the ‘stretch was reached. Then he cut loose and won in hollow fashion. In the fourth the bookmakers laid rather , liberally against Greyhurst because L.nda was in the race, with Madeline and Sea- brooke. Each of these was heavily backed, | Greyheurst was in front all the way and won from L nda very easily. Dr. Waimsley was a pps in the fifth. Many think him the best 2-ye track, The books would only lay 1 to 6 on, and even at those proh!bitjva odds the wise ones, who were looking for a little sure money, backed him. The Doctor won all the way and finished in a romp. There was a race between Bridget and Belle Diablo for the place. In the sixth Donation’s win was a sur- | prise to all save those who have watched the consistent performances of Mr. O'Fal- lon’'s chestnut. Jane and Ardath were thought to be the form in the race, Dona- tion waited till he got to the stretch. Then he came away and won readily by a length from Ardath. Jane, the favorite, just | managed to finish Inside the money. Before the fifth race Belle Diablo ran away and jammed Jockey Frost's leg into) ‘the fence, badly injuring him. There was a long delay at the post until another jock- | ey could be put up. Jockey Franklin rode in his stead. The injured boy was taken to the hospital. Yesterday was drawing-on time for the bookmakers. Notwithstandin the big crowd out, there were only eight bookmak- ers on the line, with two dollar books in the field, Amone the bookmakers who quit was Caesar Young. He says he ig simply taking a rest for a few days.

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 4, 1897, a —_— 90,000 MINERS OUT WN ILLINOIS. SS Operators Practically Concede That the Workmen Will Win the Contest. TWO IMPORTANT MEETINGS. Miners to.Confer at Springfield and Employers Will Coun- sel at Peoria. THE SUSPENSION IS GENERAL. In Every Case Where Mines Are Running Wages of the Men Have Been Material- ly Advanced., Epecial to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, IL, July 81—In_ MIill- nois the mine operators have practically eonceded the victory of the miners in the great suspension. Of the 39,000 miners and s mine laborers employed in the State fully} 80,000 have already laid down their tools | and it is the prediction of the leaders of the movement that not over 3,000 men will resume work in the mines Monday morn- ing. The operators of the Central districts have called a meeting to be held in Peoria - LPT mext Thursday, and while they have not prociaimed the object of the meeting it is generally understood to be for the adjust- ment of the existing differences, in the hope of recalling the men to their labors. Fol- lowing close after the operators, President Carson of the State organization of the United Mine Workers has issued a cal] for a delegate meeting of mine workers to be held in this city Thursday. The call state that the meeting will be held to arrange a scale of wages to be paid in the various districts of the State. Reports received here to-day are to the effect that the miners at Duquoin and Murphysboro joined in the suspension this evening. The men at these places have been working under tron-clad_ contracts Which expire to-night, and a majority have already expressed themselves in fa- vor of suspending operations at the ex- piration of their agreement. With these men out, all that will re- main at work will be the miners at the @mal! shafts that have been doing no con- tract work, and whose entire product’ Ts consumed by farmers and smal! consumers in their immediate vicinities. Only two mines are reported to be at work north of Duquoin. One of these is at Decatur and the other at Lincoln. A mags meeting of the miners will be held in De- catur to-morrow afternoon, and as many of the men there have already expressed their sympathy with the movement, it is : possible that the men will decide to sus- pend operations, It is agreed that the Lin- coln men will be controlled by the action ‘ of the Decatur miners. The only mine of /O™ an wt tt a | importance in the Southern dirtrict now being operated is in Williamson County. In every case where the miners contin- wed at work in this State, the owners or Operators have materially increased the wages of their employes. HEAVY COAL TRADE.

Mahone of the Amalgamated Street Rall- way workers arrived to-day, his mission be- ing to organize the West Virginia miners. lie will establish headquarters here, from which the strike will be directed. He pro- poses to place the Fairmont district in charge of J. r Rea of the International Association of Painters and Decorators, Robert Askew in the Elkhorn district and Chris Ilvans, ex-Secretary of the Federa- tion of Labor. in the Kenawha district. He says the strike is gradually growing in West Virginia and every effort will be made to bring the miners all out. Over 100 or- ranizers are at work and more are expected Monday. All telegrams received by Mahon to-day were of an encouraging nature. WHPELING, W. Va.. Jul 31.—-The min- ing situation In the Wheeling district to- day was as follows: About half of the usual number was at work in the two mines of the Boggs Run mine: thirty-five went into the lendale mine. ard about forty-five were working in the mine in Elm Grove.

MERCURY HUGS THE CENTURY. Sunday Will Be as Warm as Sat- urday, When the Thermome- ter Registered 96. To-day will be a good day to wear your linen clothing and seek cool places, Dr. Harry Frankenfield, the agriculturist who takes weather notes for the government on the top floor of the Federal building, says to-day is going to be as hot as yesterday. Goodness knows yesterday was a scorcher. It began hot and ft stayed hot until the sun went down. Even after sunset the air was sticky and still and humanity swelter- ed almost as much as at midday, when the mercury climbed to % degrees. At 8 o’clock yesterday morning the ther- mometer showed a temperature of 80 de- grees, which is extraordinary for that time of day. Every hour the quick silver reg- istered a jump of two or three degrees and at 1 o'clock the 96 notch was reached. For five hours this degree of temperature was maintained. The sun’s heat was blistering and breezes during the afternocn were few and far between. : ° There were no heat prostrations, but the suffering in all parts of the city was in- tense. The soda fountains were patronized with the regulation hot weather rush and demand.for juieps and claret punches in Saloons, the barkeepers say, was three to one what it has been for the last two weeks. A glance over the weather chart would warrant the belief that St. Louis was being treated unfairly in this little matter of heat. The town is getting too much. There was only one other city yesterday that was in the St. Louis class, and that was Galves- ton, Tex. In that charming seaport the mercury began the day by roosting on the 84 perch, 4 degrees better than St. Louis. The other big citles had easy times of it. Chicago, Cincinnati and Cleveland were comfortable with the thermometer raging from 74 degrees at 8 o’clock to 79 at noon. Louisville was cool and so was New York. “There will be no let up in this heated term for several qajs,” said Dr. Frankea- field. “It may be a trifle cooler Sunday af- ternoon, but that ts not a safe betting prop- osition. I don’t see any rain ahead, either. The rain clouds are al®too far away to benefit St. Louis before Monday or Tues- day.’’ John Brady, 40 years old, of 2222 Chouteau avenue was overcome by the heat while working in the quarry at Chouteau and Grand avenues yesterday afternoon. He was taken to the City Hospital. His con- dition is serious. THE WEATHER INDICATIONS. THUNDERSTORMS; HOT. Missouri--Local thunderstorms, continued high temperature; south winds.

The Most Intense Heat in the History of Kansas City. Special to the Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July %1.—To-day has broken all Weather Bureau records here for protracted heat. For over four hours this afternoon the Government ther- mometer, which is on the top of one of the highest buildings, as well as on the brow of a big hill, registered 100 degrees or over, while from 11 a. m. to 7:30 p. m., the mer- cury stood at 93 or above. Street thermometers by the half dozen registered the heat at from 101 to 107. Ac- cording to the official record at 8 a. m., the wwe at! stood at 8. It went up in jumps of three and four degrees until at noon it had reached 9%. At 1 o’clock it stood at 98; at 2 o’clock 100, 3 and 5 o'clock, 101; at 6 o'clock 100, and then it began to craw! down slowly. It was an awful day, and had it not been for the excessively low humidity deaths would have been counted by the score. Hu- manity sweltered, while draft horses were taken to the barna for fear of prostration. The asphalt streets held the heat and soft- ened and threw upward a blast as erst = from a furnace... Business was partially suspended, and those who could sought their homes or cool places in the suburbs. The Weather Bureau holds forth no prom. ise of rain soon. Late this evening a cool breeze began to blow from the south. It was like a breath of paradise in hades. Men and women who tossed last night in rest- less sleeplessness hailed it with joy, for the promise was of a few moments of rest after about three days of blistering weather. There have been one or two days, accord- ing to official records, when the thermome- ter reached 102, but at no previous per od has the heat held so steadily above 100 as it did this evening. The prostrations thus far reported number about six, with no fatali- ties, although one or two are expected, Reached 100 at St. Joe. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., July 31.—With the mercury registering 100 in the shade and 120 in the sun, the heat was almost unbearable to-day. The air is very dry and crops need rain.

HAYNE |S Prays for All She Needs and Gets It. Mother to the City’s Deserted Babies. — | “IT would not be a child through all eternity.”’ These were the words of Mrs. Roger Hayne, the president, treasurer, secretary, board of directors and chief executive of the four Bethseda homes for forsaken iIn- fants, for women expectant of motherhood, for old folks and for incurables. Since April, 18989, she has saved, fed, clothed, sheltered and ministered to the epiritual needs of 2.940 foundlings, agéd women in their second childhood and desti- tute mothers, The executive ability of one woman has accomplished this task without the ald of a directory, without an endowment fund and without soliciting assistance. “Bight years ago.” said Mrs. Hayne, “I was called to the work by the Lord. I had heen deeply touched .by the pitiable con- dition of old women, forsaken by friends and ch'idren; to become unwelcome de- pendents on strangers. “After a yvear the Lord saw fit to answer my prayers and I opened a little home for these poor old women. It was a small be- ginning, but the Lord let it prosper and f00n our modest home was filled with the aged. “But they were not all. Word would be pent in that a little baby had been found on somebody's doorstep or at Union Sta- tion or a helpless woman or mother sought shelter from the world. There was always the question, could I provide for one more? “Tl was doing the work of the Lord and how could I discriminate between his creat- ures? So I took them all. I could not al- Ways see my way clear, but 1 knew He would show me the way. For Helpless and Destitute. “Rethseda is definitely for the helpless and destitute; it has no endowment and we do not solicit. The Lord Himself has cared for all its needs and provided for all its wants out of his everlasting treasury.”’ Mrs. Hayne’s kind, motherly face beamed with pleasure and benevolence as she re- viewed the work of Bethesda and told in tenderest words of the friendless and fallen. She sat in an easy arm chair in her large, Old-fashioned home, at No, 163) South Grand avenue. The surroundings were Even the chairs and the broad, open windows bore an alr of welcome. Old-fashioned, heavily-carved furniture and old pictures made the stran- ger feel sure the owner was capable of long, gtanch friendship. Rooks, magazines, rock- ers and fans convenient to hand made one feel sure the hosiess understood the value of the evidences of a happy, comfortable home life and could rise above the petty formalities and conventionalities of social life when occasion demanded. , “There is no red tape about the Bethseda work and no delay. A woman is not left Starving nor a baby left to die while we inquire into their history. All applications fare made to me and it is only for me to Say We can take them and the Lord has always tuken care of them. “I keep few accounts, only those which are neceseary.

ROGER HAYNE. | “We Work by Faith, and Ask, Our Blessed Master Each Day for the Things Our Dear Little Ones and Poor Creatures: Need.” RS. HAYNE was born in Dublin, Ireland. She fs descended on her moth- er’s side from an old Huguenot family, refuged in Ireland. Her father was Dr. Dyas, a Spaniard. She is the great-niece of the President of Mex- ico, whose family name is written Diag. hen a little girl of 12 years her parents moved to Wheeling, Va., then to Canada, and thence to Chicago.

Or the thought may arise that the tree tops are filled with hundreds of nests of chattering, featheriess swallows calling for the absent mother bird. A Glance at Her Work. The sound of one crying baby is common and annoaying, but so many vibrating throats at once in their helpless infancy is | a plaintive chorus that cannot fail to touch the hardegt heart and reverberate through our memories for many years. Such is a glimpse aft one of this busy woman's chari- ties. Every tter great and small receives her personal attention. Unlike most women Mrs. Hayne does not aggregat None is| ever turned away. No one must suffer, and not a soul must be lost, is her motto. The lack of luxuries does not mean a cor- responding lack of comforts. If the necessary funds and household goods fall short and there. are no visible means for the support of a new comer, no great ado ‘se made. This remarkable woman simply gathers her little band of nurses about her and they pray for the new comer’s sustenance. A sinful woman is not given a tract to hide her shame, nor is a homeless old wo- man put off with an injunction to read her Bible. The body is first made comfortable and healthy to make it a better habitation for the soul. Then comes the administration of the gospel. Not one unfortunate woman comes under Mrs. Hayne’s protection who does not receive her personal comfort and spir- itual instruction. Homes for Unfortunates. Mrs. Hayne personally finds good homes for them, where they can take their little ones, and it is her constant endeavor to keep mather and -child together. This, she argues, keeps her firm in her resolution to do right, Said Mrs. Hayne: ‘IT believe woman should do all in her power to help and elevate woman, The ab- gence of such homes does not mitigate the need for them. The presence of such places of refuge only prevents more crime. Many would seek to hide their shame in suicide or infanticide. “The majority who come to the home are young, unsophisticated girls. Some are really mentally weak and more to be pitied than blamed. None are really vicious and after the first offense it is better to shel- ter them, show them the error of their ways and set them on the way to do good in life.”’ Some® poor women who are married and have no comfortable home are boarded at the Maternity for a ehort period at a low permit es of affairs to eclipse their price, and Mrs. Hayne considers this a charity, too. She makes no discrimination between those who pay and the penniless. All are clothed, fed and given medical attention alike, and competent trained nurses are al- ways in attendance. Mrs. Hayne has found situations for 1,000 girle since the work began. All these have taken their babies with them. “Oceasionally a mother deserts her child and we must care for it. Sometimes 1 see a mother*is not capable of caring for the dear little one, and I keep it until I find good people who will adopt it. “When God has given those dear babies into my hands I feel that I cannot do too ,much for them. “They are a great care.

They give their services voluntarily and their board and clothes are furnished them. They come from every State. None of the rescued women are placed in positions of responsi- bility. These nurses must be moral young women and she soon stamps her broad principles of charity upon them. Speaking of the confidence the poor had in her ability to help them, she sald: “Qne poor mother came to me, a perfect stranger, and placing her little darling in my arms, said: ‘I can trust you to take my little one and care for it until I can make the money to send for my baby and raise it properly.’ “This implicit confidence touched me, and how could I refuse? We have the little one/|yet and the faithful mother, with the bledsed Master's help, is well and working hard to bring about their reunion. “Only the other week I received a letter from the tender mother saying: ‘Kies my darling for me. I am trusting that I can yet make the means to have her with me and support us both.’ “With the nurses, God bleas these dear workers, I ask the Lord to guide this faith- ful mother's footsteps to her child. “In June the heat was so intense it looked as if we were in danger of losing ail our babies.

Evidently their means were small, but their spirit of charity will be blessed by the Lord.”’ And yet this woman has no system about her work and no one to aasist in tha man- agement. of the charity home. She has saved 2,40 lives through her.own efforts and prayers. . Her telephone bell ringé continually and every hour In the day she is called up to know if she can accommodate another in- fant, mother or old jady. “No” a Forgotten Word. “Yes, with God's help,” is always her answer.

Q If a rare case comes up that no provision has ever been made for, Mrs. Hayne Is in- variably equal to the emergency. None are turned away because they do not come un- der the rules or because the board must pass upon the case first. There are no rules and no board. Mrs. Hayne thinks Christian charity too broad to admit of elther. Her own little children are ae loving and as appreciative as the little walfts. Her home duties receive due attention, and she has the sympathy and co-operation of her husband in her charity work. She is 5 feet 5%.inches high, 16 pounds, is a brunette, and has black hair.

WASTE OF BABY LIFE IN THE CITY, Statistics of the Terrible Mortality Among the Infants Who Have Just Begun Life. — N one week of July—the week following the Fourth—S3 babies died in St. Louls. They had not lived out the first year. One hundred and seven children who had not seen their Afth birthdays paseed into Whe unknown. The total deaths for the week were 28 Accident, diseases of maturity and old age carried off 101 persons and chiid- ish diseases carried off 7. The record is appalling. It is without paraliel in the his- tory of St. Louls, yet here Health Commis- sioner Starklof says the ratio ts lower thas in New York or Chicago. The waste of baby life could not have been greater in Carthage, when Moloch was wor- shipped. One bundred and seven mothers hearts were broken In one week.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 1, 1897, In July, 1893, there were 1,167 deaths In St. ' Louls—an extraordinary record. Of that great number 61 were children under 6 years of age and 446 were not 1 year old when they died. That was a frightfully black month, which mone in later history, save the current month, has equaled, but a record which may be passed should the weather again become hot. In spite of this, however, Health Com- missioner Starkioff says: “T «till claim that St. Louls is the health- / fest city in the country, except, perhaps, ' San Francisco. “Here is the percentage of death rate per 1,00 of population in many cities during July, August and September of last year: Baltimore .....+..- 23 Oi\New York .........24.08 TO sceoeocecees 25.07\ New Orleans ......24.08 BRrookirn . ft FO FT Philadelphia seeeee 21.00 DMSCRMO .csesscoes 17.00 San Francisco ..... 17.00 Cincinnati ........ ee ee ews 18.05 “Chicago, you will observe, is very low, but that is due to their fearful exaggera- tions of population, Cincinnat! is phenoMe- mally low, but that is due to the fact that there were no epidemics in Cincinnati last year. “The death rate varies from year to year. Beginning in 1867, with 220,000 population in St. Louis, we find that the totals of deaths do not keep their ratio with the growth of population. Nor, as a rule, is the rat'o of infantile mortality kept up. In eome of the years it was §&) per cent of the whole.

They come into the world with heritages of sin. They are neg- lected in the earliest hours of their birth. They are exposed for hours usually before the police pick them up and confide them to our care. “Some people would have reason to say » it would be better they died than to live out their heritage of neglect and sin. But this is not the worldly point of view. They have souls made for heaven, and once they mare born into the world the right to live is theirs as well as the infant born in the lap of luxury. “We have two hard periods tn the life of all our little ones. First when we rece!ve them the spark of life is almost extinguished by hunger and neglect. We have to nurse them carefully and give them a fresh start in life. Later comes the teething season that lasts from their eighth or ninth month until the second summer, as the mothers say. “How do we make our little ones thrive? I think the secret of caring for an infant successfully lies in proper feeding and in- telligent nursing, and by that I mean the manner of watching It. “The children brought us by the police are paid for by the city and we are en- abled to send these around to nurses, for there is nothing so good for a child as mother-milk. The other waifs we rdise ourselves on the bottle.

Jason lives in the house, now sixty years old, in whieh he began housekeeping and raised a fam- ily of nineteen children, Of this remarka- ble family sixteen are living. The next generation, which eonsists of 150 grand- children, are all living. There are besides eighty great-grand-children and sixty great- great-grand-children, all of whom are at present living within ten miles of Jason, It will occur to most people that a family of such remarkable proportions must give rise to many complications. The descend- ants of old Benjamin Webb have for one thing been obliged to select about 800 names for their children, and the entire family has been obliged to go through the ordeal of agreeing upon more than 12,000 names, Compared with this task the work of nam- ing the streets of an entire city like New York would be trifiing. If each member of the family should at- tempt to give presents at Christmas to all the other members the expense would be something startling. beef chopped up fine, boiled rice and other cereals. “Fresh aif, plenty of baths to keep down temperature and right clothing are essen- tial to children. “The little ones are watched continually @uring the night and any change of tem- perature is guarded against at once to pre- vent the little ones from catching cold. If they suffer from the-heat they are fanned or bathed. “It would surprise fathers and mothers to know how little our charges cry in the night. “The teething season is the critical period in infant life. The whole system is disor- dered, the blood is heated and the delicate little stomach ts easily upset. Extreme care regerding the quantity and quality of food is the best safeguard against irregu- larities, “It is hard for us to keep statistics of mortality among our charges. They are coming and going all the time. So far this summer we have been exceptionally fortu- nate, especially since a tiny waif brought here by the police spread the whooping cough, and we have been six months eradl- cating it. We have about 100 children, half of whom are under 2 years of age.. They are doing remarkably well and we anticipate ho serious trouble if the nights continue ooo, “I cannot understand why infant mor- tality should be 60 per cent of the city’s mortuary record.

The entire family, it may readily be calculated, might celebrate thirty birthdays every day in the year. One of the most remarkable of the origi- nal family is Uncle Miles, who, though 75 years old, is about to marry a sister-in- law. This remarkable old man has four- teen children, all of whom are married and have large families. He is unable to tell the exact number of descendants who should be credited to him, but thinks that a conservative estimate would place the number of grandchildren at 100, great- grandchildren at seventy-five, and great- great-grandchildren at about forty. The oldest living member of the family is Aunt Polly, who is 8 years old. Her branch of the family tree comprises eight liv'ng children, seventy grandchildren, forty-five great-grandchildren and twenty-two great- great-grandchildren. Her little sister, who is known as the worker of the family, is but 73 years old. Her branch, which includes five generations, is made up of some ninety- éight members. The entire population of Letcher County, it is claimed, can trace their ancestry very clearly back to but four families, who were the first to settle In this section. These families were the Crafts, Adamses and Hal- brookes, and, of course, the Webbs. The descendants have married and intermarrited in a most perplexing manner. Only a very few of them have ever seen a railroad train. The little county, as might be imagined, is in reality a small kingdom, over which the elder Webbs are political monarchs. Whenever a Webb wishes to hold any of- fice in the county the result is a foregone conclusion. Such a condition of affairs does not, it is very safe to say, exist in any other State in the Union. | ] N the Webb family there is an average | If Webb’s 800 descendants in the togeth- | Dr. Otto C.

She has seven children, all liv- ing and married. Her husband died five or six years ago. This was the first death that had occurred in the family in years. Her seven children have families which aggre- gate twenty-seven grandchildren, and they, in turn, have twenty-six children, who are great-grandchildren to Mrs, Smith. * NOT A CHILD IN ALL THIS BLOCK.

The operators pay the lowest wages they can. Most of the men are paid by the box. Some are paid by the day. None by the ton. The boxes are supposed to hold a ton, They do, and a great deal more. They are a)l sizes and shapes. Some hold thirty bush- els. some thirty-five and some forty. The miner lis required to pile the coal high on the box. If he fails he is discounted for short weight. Trick in Cutting Wages. The pbperators have used these boxes to screw down wages. They seldom reduce the price per box. That would raise a howl. They accomplish the same result by increas- ing thé size of the box. The men usually objected to this, but in their unorganized state they were easily brought to terms. After working steadily for a while the mine would be closed down suddenly without any explanation. It would remain idle a week or so. Then the men would be told that some other operator had sideboards on his boxes or larger boxes and they could go to work if they would get a couple more bush- els on their boxes. The wages at the inception of the strike ranged from 7 cents to @ a day. Few were able to earn the latter amount. It was seldom that a mine worked three days a week. Often it was two days and some- times only one. Things have run along this way for the past six months. It was impossible for men with families to keep their expenditures within their income. Two years ago-the Legislature passed a law compelling mine owners to weigh coal at the top of the shaft, but a loophole was left and has never been enforced. The men are now demanding scales at the top and pay by the ton instead of the box. When it became known that a band of several hundred rough men were advancing across the country it was expected there would be pillaging and trouble. There was neither. The men generally had enough to eat, such as it was, and they met no opposi- tion of any consequence. In most places they were welcomed and treated as friends. If the larder had become bare and men had been found who refused to stop work, the alarming expectations would have been realized. The men are honest, but have good appetites, and if there had been con- tinued failure to eatiafy them, food would have been obtained some way. among them reckless enough to make a threat, but they expected their demands to be obeyed and force would have followed disobedience. Possibility of Violence. The men are still allied. They have been reinforced by a more reckless element. Any day may bring news of violence in the Ble Muddy territory below Murphysboro. If an outbreak occurs it will not differ from those in the past. Few of the men are armed. Few of them can afford to own a weapon. Their reliance is the club. It costs noth- ing, and is always accessible. Usually an outbreak is caused by the men at some mine refusing to strike. Long before dawn there is an advance. The strikers camp around the pit mouth and wait. The men appear to go to work. There is a pariey. The workmen are firm. Epithets are hurled. A blow is struck. May be a free fight fol- lows. At any rate, the anger of the men who want to work ts aroused. After that there is no compromise. The pit owner hires guards or the militia is called out. There is a slege. In the dark- ness a form creeps to the top works. There is a fire or an explosion. The strikers say the operator fired his own property to turn public sentiment against them. A train loaded with “scab” coal is ditched. The leaders speak truly when they disclaim responsibilty for these things. They are always the acts of individuals who tell no- body of their intentions because of the fear of betrayal. Feeling grows against the guards or mi- litia. The strikers become desperate. There is a coming together and a few men are killed. Then the strike is settled in favor of the operator. The t goes back to his dangerous work in the pit nursing his hatred of the forces of law and omer. The strike in St. Clair County ts now nearly complete. Beyond a few pits which supply local demand, none are working. Nearly 5,000 men are idle. large majority of them are married and have large fam- lics. Most of them are isting on credit and some on charity. The Ruin of ess. For a long time their pur: | have been restricted to the bare nex es of life, even if they were able to pay for these. Not one in a hundred“*has anything saved up. Now their capacity as cagh purchasers is entirely destroyed. | Every class of business is affected. In- dustries will soon be g down every- where for want of fuel. @ operators are losing the opportunity to get double prices. Unless ‘the strike “'s ly settled the miners who can still get credit will owe more than they can ever hope to pay Thove from whom credit is withdrawn will be suf- fering for food. Nearly all nationalities are rcpresented among the miners in the county. Most of them around Belleville are Germans. There is a colony of Italians at Bennett's on the B. & O. 3.-W. A great many negroes are employed at Duquoia, but mone in St. Clair County. There is as rians, Poles, Englishmen A good many of the foreigners were brought in during f strikes. Few of them are unmarried. ost of the Ger- mans and Englishmen have large families. As soon as the sons are old enough they are taken down in the pit to help their: fathers. If they are lus lads their ap- prenticeship begins as as ll or 12 years of age. The Consolidated Coal Company !s charged with a large share of the responsibility for present conditions. It was organized several years ago with the object of getting com- plete control of the St. Louls market. Small operators and co-operative companies were bought out and a great many mines closed, but the men who sold managed generally to evade the promise not to engage in the business again and sunk new ehafts and the Consolidated has never had things en- tirely its own way. But with its seventy mines it enjoys a tremendous advantage. The men at one group of mines are used to whip others into submission to a reduction. Special rates ara obtained from raflroads and the Termina! Association, it is said, ich enabled it to underbid its competitors ly. The com- pany got the St. Louls waterworks con- tract recently for 8 cents le ton. Other op- erators claim they could not deliver the coal for that figure without actually losirix money. The Consolidated hag always been the etumbling block when joint conferences were held between the operator” and miners. The Company Store. Gien Carbon, Horne’s home, is the only place in the county where the companr store thrives. The town is virtually owned by the Madison Coal Co, The houses are all built alike. That is because the company, builds them. They contain two, three and four rooms. The unvarying rental is 8 « month for each room. The men say the ren: pays for the house In a couple of years. If aman puts up a eummer kitchen at his own expense he je charged $2 rent for that too. The rent Is kept out of the month's wages. No credit is given at the company store Checks are issued during the month up to the amount due, and these are received in lieu of cash. There la seldom any of the iat- ter coming at the end of the month. The men are compelled to live tn the com- pany houses and deal at the company stor: and pay the prices demanded by the com- pany. Another form of extortion ts practiced almost all over the county. In most of the mines the men have to purchase their own powder, oll, squibs and other supplice. The companies have those things for saie. The» do not tell the men to buy of them, dut If a miner buys hie supplies eleewherre he soon finds himself out of a job. The prices are always twice as high a« the eupplies can be obtained for eleewhere. he said, are to our present life, so this shadowy life is to our future existence.” Sperking of God, she said: “They try to define what God is and what he is not, but whatever beautiful and eens words they use, I say that he is jn- nitely more than that.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 1, 1899, FELTS CONDOR-WINGED AIRSHIP AND ITS PROPOSED FLIGHT. IP Tb le7Petr— CALIFORNIA’S “LAKE OF INK.” Without doubt the most remarkable body of water in the world lies In the vicinity of the Colorado River, in Southern California. In this region of ugly volcanoes, desolate wastes and slimy gwamps, the strangest phenomenon of all is what the naturalisis call a “lake of ink.”” No other description fits so well. The strange black fluid that forms the lake bears no resemblance to water. It must some day have been a “lake of fire,’ and even now it tallies ex- cellentliy with the familiar description of the infernal regions. Thick and viscous and foul-smelling, it seems altogether unfit that it should deface «the surface of the earth. ‘ , The pool of ink is situated about half a mile from a volcano. It is about an acre in area. The surface is coated with gray ashes from the volcanoes to the thickness of about six inches, thus concealing its real nature. A traveler not prepared to avoid its treacherous depths, might easily walk into it. Experiment has proved that the black fluid of the lake is not poisonous, It acts as a dye, and cotton goods soaked in it keep their color for months, even when exposed to the sun. They also acquire a stiffness similar to that produced by weak starch. The fluid has been analyzed, but its com- ponent parts have not been made known. ——_—_ — L As “fs jab Mi j , iT Y / Me big Jy LW WM, GLEE ees Oe This is the day and generation of the airship crank. The experiments of Lillienthal, Prof. Langley and others gave the air navigation theorists a start; Prof. Andre’s attempt to reach the North Pole by balloon awakened them to further activity, and the discovery of gold in the Klondike country brought forth an arniy of balloonists and airship navigators—on paper. ° St. Louis and Missouri are keeping right up with the procession. This city has two most approved airship cranks. There is Rufus G. Wells, who has bal- looned all over the world, from Europe to China, and has a record of over 500 ascen- sions. He was the first aeronaut to use the hot air method of inflation, and he claims to have been the first to use the parachute in descending. Everything that happens suggest balloon- ing to the professor. When Andree proposed to go in search of the North Pole in a balloon, Prof. Wells derided the scheme, and as confidently announced that he could build an airship which would make the trip surely and safely in twenty days at the outside. His belief was based on the fact that he had built an airship for the French Government in 1870. He proposed to rescue Bazaine, who was shut up in Metz with his army. Gen. Bazaine incon- siderately and inopportunely surrendered just before the airship was completed, and it was never given a chdnce to prove that it could fly. The Minister of War was asked to utilize the airship for conveying messages to and from the front, but he said his carrier pigeons were doing good work and he refused to discharge them. FLAMES FROM HIS FINGERS. If there remains any hard-headed scoffer Who doubts the power of electricity, he surely needs to be convinced by some such experience as not long ago befell F. R. Bowen of Denver, Colo. Mr. Bowen en- joyed no less remarkable a display than that afforded by the most violent of elee- trical storms, which lasced half an hour | and took place 14,00 feet above the sea level, Mr. Bowen's point of view during this remarkable experience was the top of Pike’s Peak, the highest mountain in the world on which civilized men live all the year round. He never will forget this storm and he does not care to see another as long as he lives. “A great electrical storm,” said Bowen, as he was telling his story, “was sweeping against this monarch of the Rocky Moun- tains. The atmosphere had appeared to be loaded with electricity all one afternoon. There was a singing sound in the air, as if the whole universe were a hive of beeg. When the sun went down I saw thousands of jets of electric flame rising from the wire down the mountain, and it appeared that there was a fiery snake winding around thousands of feet below. I went outdoors. My hair rose up. My mustache poked int®my nose. I took my hands from my pockets and electric flames two inches long started from each finger tip. When I held them down the flames disappeared. I walked up and down the walk with my hands ig the air, as excited as a child. Whén I came under the telegraph wire the flames went out where I was and disap- peared before and behind me.

LOUIS SUMMER TRUNK. HB General Manager of one of the large railroads run- | ning into St. Louls told me that a society girl had claimed $500 for the contents of a trunk lost in transit between here and New York. the claim was exorbitant. He asked me if I did not think I asked the name of the young lady and also for an inventory of the contents of the trunk. They were given me, and after an inspection of the list 1 told the gentleman that instead of being exorbitant the claim was very reasonable, The owner of the lost trunk {s one of the prettiest and best-dressed girls in town, and as her father is very wealthy, she naturally would be exempt from any suspicion of wanting to work the company. liad the railroad manager been with me watching the packing of two immense ttrunks which were to accompany a Lindell boulevard belle Narragansee Pier, I am sure it would no longer be a mysStery to him how a young woman could gte so many expensive articles Wearing apparel in one trunk. of The pretty white and gold room of this fortunate young wo- man was ina state of mild confusion when I entered it. “Don’t you want to help me pack?” she said. “but first tell me how is it possible to "Yea," I replied, get so many things in those two trunks without crushing and ruining them?’ “Hasiest thing imaginable, because I have a’systematioc way of doing it,"’ replied my fr.end. We began first by putting in the lingerie, which was cer- tainly fine enough to be part of any bride's trousseau. Next came two rather heavy gowns of wash material, one a white pique costume, made in the coat and skirt style, and the other a linen crash. While the very best quality of crash can be purchased in the shops for 80 cents a yard, I am sure this gown cost at least $40. Tt also was made in the skirt and coat fashion, lined throughout with apple green taffeta, and was quite the “smartest" gown of its kind that any fashionable came two biaek ekirts to be worn with various silk waists—one a black moire-velour lined with old rose taffeta, and a black velvet tailor has turned out this season. with a taffeta Lning of lavender. and a beauty it was. After these Then a yachting costume, Dark blue yachting flannel was the ma- terial chosen for this gown, its somber color being relieved by bands of br-ght red cloth, gold braid and bright buttons. Next came the bathing suit which will probably never be wet during its owner’s stay at the Pier. It was made of white fiannel with bands of ruby velvet and large gold but- tons. There was room for just one more gown in the bottom of the trunk, which was an outing costume of a light tan color, simply made and lined with deep green taffeta, Realising that the dainty and much beruffled girl is to be the queen this season and is fast supplanting the stiff Gibson girl, my boulevard friend was well provided with gowns that were exceedingly light and airy in effect—organdies and dimi- ties of all colors and designs. Let me tell you of one partic- ular gown that-I coveted. It was composed of dotted point d’esprit, which had for its foundation pink taffeta silk. The skirt was made quite full, and the blouse hung very loosely. The entire gown had graduated rows of pink @W&d white satin ribbons put on the under side of the lace, which made @ par- ticularly striking effect. The entire tray of the trunk was de- voted to these gowns. Fans and gloves were put in the narrow strip along the side. That part of the trunk which forms the cover was set aside for slippers and shoes. There is no better place in the world to display a pretty foot, elegantly shod, than at the sea- shore or lounging in hammocks in the piazza of a summer hotel. There were slippers of all shades and kinds to match different gowns. Each slipper was stuffed with tissue paper in order to keep its shape. By this time the trunk was pretty well filled, there being rogm for a few more articles which were put in various nooks and corners. There still remained plenty of things for the other trunk, such as jackets, capes, waists, shirt waists and their accessories. Three !mmense Gainsborough hats, I am told, were to be packed in their own boxes and placed in the bottom of the trunk and kept secure by placing parasols across the top. That is certainly the best way to insure them not being mashed. It will not be hard for the feminine mind to comprehend the cost of the contents of these two trunks and they will agree with me, I am sure, in that the est’'mate of $00 for the last trunk was not a penny above its worth. 3 K.

oe ~ é a SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS FOST-DiSPATCH—AUGUST 4, 1677. PEARL FISHERIES. New Industry Developed Which Will Not Decrease the Klondike Rush. Arkansas has developed a new industry— that of pearl fisheries. For several years occasional finds of mussel pearls of more or leas value have been reported, but in the last year enough jewels have been found and marketed to warrant placing Arkan- gaec among the pearl producing States. The fresh water mussel abounds in White River, L’Anguille River, the §8t. Francis and in the lakes and bayous of the famous Sunk Lands. The pearl is associated in the minds of most people with the oyster. It is not generally known that the pear! of the mussel, both of the fresh and salt water varieties, is just 4s valuable according to size and luster as that of the oyster. Some of the pearls taken from the mussel beds of Arkansas have brought as much as $30, which is a @004 price for a pearl. There is not likely to be a rush for the Arkansas pearl fisheries. The prospect of getting rich at the business is not alluring. It is eatimated that out of a thousand mus- sels, not more than one will yield a pearl, and of a thousand pearls, not more than one has any commerctal value. The only person who can fish for pearls profitably is the typical Arkansas squatter, fisherman or pot hunter, the swamps dweler who would rather hunt all day for three eguirrels, worth 10 cents each, than work for a dollar, and who at © years of age plays marbles at the cross-roads or in front of the village tavern, with congenial neighbors, with all the zest of the schoolboy. To him time is not money. What time he its not tending his little patch of corn or keeping the family pot boiling with a mess of “flesh” or a squirrel stew, he spends at the country store or the blacksmith shop, swap- ping yarns and spitting ‘amber’ at a mark. To this class of citizen there is money in opening mussels to search for pearls, no matter how long it takes him nor how few and far between the pearls he finds, For instance, a large proportion of the Arkansas pearls found have been taken from Griffin's Lake in the Bald Knob country. Mr. Griffin owns the lake and 40,000 acres of land surrounding it. He has waxed rich getting out timber from it. He has had no time to bother with pearls, but his poor neighbors may fish for pearls without let or hindrance, and if one fishes for three months and gets a $10 pearl he is just $10 ahead, The pearl In both the oyster and mussel is found inside the whell near the hinge. It is formed by an effort of the shell fish to get rid of some irritating foreign matter which it cannot eject. It may be a grain of wand or a preying parasite. The mussel failing in all efforts to dislodge it, coats it over with mucilaginous exudation, render- ing {t smooth and wnon-irritating. Thies covering hardens, and the speck becomes encysted, much as a bullet will when im- bedded in the body of man or animal, This becomes the pearl of commerce. The first lot in bulk of Arkansas pearis pluced on the market was received by C. lL. Byrd & Co., the largest jewelers of Meen- phis, Tenn. A typical Arkansas farmer : entered their store one day several months ago, and throwing down a_small bag full of the jewels, wanted to know “what them thar pretties was wuth.” " A price was agreed on, a number of the pearls being marketable. Later on one of the firm went over to the Bald Knob country to investigate. He found quite a number of people who possessed a string of pearls. None had any fdea of their value, In most cases they had been given to the children, But, with true squatter shrewdness, not one would put a price on them when they discovered that they had a value, ‘ In every case the jeweler had to name a price, and then the owner as invariably wanted more, and there was much haggling before a price wae agreed on. One man found a pear] which paid the rent of his farm for the year, so that his crop wae clear profit. At the mouths of White River and the St. Francie are many families living in shanty boats, who make just enough to live on by fishing and hunt- ing. They would not work for wages, and are perfectly contented with their mode of living. Up in the Sunk Lands are others of like pursuits and tastes. To all such what they can get out of pearl fishing is just so muoh money, which they would not other- wise have earned. Searching for pearls in Arkaneas would not pay any man who is willing to work for wages at anything else. but the industry has become a suurce of small and doubtful revenue to an improvi- dent class. 7 Most of the pearls found have been small ones, ranging in value from 60. cents up to #4 or $. Only five have been marketed which are classed among fine jewels. These were valued at from $100 to $800 each and were as fine as the best products of the pear: fish- + eries of Wisconsin and Lower California. The famous Mussel Shoals of the Cum- berland River, Tennessee, have yielded pearls; so have the Ohlo and other rivers, creeks, lakes and lagoone in various Staies, but the resulte are too uncertain to make the search for them a paying enterprise, BASS FISHING IN CATALINA ISLAND. em feN ‘Yes +e HIS is the season when the South. ern California coast waters swarm with “yellow tails’ and tremendous black sea baes. More royal sport than catching these big fellows there is not. Fanoy the sensations that come to 4n angler as he lands a gamey, intensely Active and beautifully colored and propor- tioned fish weighing from 260 to 300 pounds! Santa Catalina Island is reachea by steam. boat from San Pedro harbor in about two hours. Here the fishing is best. It ie esti- mated that the 500 or 600 people who have recently been out in the rowboats and fished off the shore of Avalon Bay for a few hours each morning or afternoon have caught on an Average of 3,000 pounds of fish daily with rod and reel and with common hand lines. The black sea bass. next to the shark im the largest that takee the hook. The famous tarpon of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico are not to be compared to it tn size.

C. Garrard, Secretary Illinois State Board of Agriculture. p Ps 53 ” SPRINGFIELD, Il.. July 30.—Indications point to the largest corn and the = ‘ emaliest wheat yield in this State in its history. This is known to be true of wheat, ~ ‘ as it has been harvested, but in the matter of corn it can only be surmised from és . *. the excellent and unprecedented condition of the growing crop at this time. The State Board of Agriculture is now receiving from the county correspondents over %% the State reports on the condition and acreage of hay, and the results of the wheat . harvest. It cannot be determined at this time just the extent of the reduction in 3% the wheat yield, but it will be many millions of bushels less than last year and + far less than was ever known in the State’s hjstory. The acreage is 40 percent ¥ less than last season. : 4 Never has the corn appeared so well. There is an increased acreage over last 2 year of 150,000 acres. In routid numbers there are 7,000,000 acres of gern in the State this year. The increased acreage is due largely to the wheat failure, the fields being 3 plowed up and planted in corn. Growing corn is in excellent condition. It is not de quite so far advanced as is usual] at this period of the year, owing tothe cold, wet spring, but it is making a remarkably rapid growth now. A member of the State 3 Board of Agriculture, in traveling ovér a thousand miles of railroad in Illinois, “ failed to see one poor field of corn. The corn yield last year was 2% million bushels. * * ” s The acreage is largely in excess of last season. a There was a great improvement in the condition of oats from June 1 to the time de of harvest. The straw is not so long as usual, but the heads are well filled and *° heavy. The crop is a great improvement over last year. The yield will be fully as 2, large, afthough the acreage is less.

John R. Sage, Director Iowa Weather and Crop Service. DES MOINES, Io., July 27.—The acreage of spring wheat is 1,076,837 and 146,127 winter wheat, making a total of 1,222,964. The estimated yield is 16,000,000 bushels. This is about 6,000,000 in excess of any recent year. We have in corn an acreage of 8,610,145. The present prospect is for about three-fourths of a crop, or about 23 bushels to the acre. Of oats we have 4,445,782 acres, with a rating at present of 8&3 per cent. The prospects are for 125,000,000 bushels. In past years 100,000,000 bushels have been considered a big crop. The increase this year is because of the large acreage. In harley there are 550,000 acres, rating at 93 per cent. We have a large area and large yield of hay. Pasturage has not been so good for the past ten years. It has been good in every section, and the effect is noticeable in the butter product. After losing 2,192,000 hogs by cholera last yéar. we had 5.500.000 hogs to start with this year. The pig crop has been somewhat short—about 70 per cent of the average. ” The yield of apples is very promising. There has been an unprécedented yield of berries and small fruit. The potato crop is very unpromising at the present time. With a fair amount of moisture in the future we may look for a fair yield of late potatoes. : On the whole the round-up of the year is likely to be fairly satisfactory to the farmers of Iowa. oO 0000000000000006000000000000000 [‘‘There Ain't No Such Person,”’] | My name it is Joe Bowers, ve got a brother, Ike I came from old MissouW Yes, all the way from Pike.

Vincenheller, Commissioner. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., July 28.—The wheat crop of Arkansas, now being mar- keted, is the largest in the history of the State. The season produced the very best results. [have made two trips through the wheat belt. In May I predicted an un- precedented crop. In June and July, while ‘the crop was being harvested, I esti- mated some fields as high as thirty-five bushels per acre. Since thrashing I have reliable information of numerous flelds that average from thirty to forty bushels per acre, and one field yielded forty-five bushels per acre. My estimate on the total vield is 2,000,000 bushels, : The oat and hay crops are good, and saved in perfect condit!on, in fact without any rain. Upland corn, that was planted early on poorly prepared ground, suffered from the dry weather in June and July. The late rains have been very beneficial, and sufficient for home use will be made.” . At this time cotton promises a full crop. fruited. However, the cotton crop is subject to disaster yet. The strawberry crop was not up to last year in yleld, owing to the dry summer of 189% and short plant growth, but the quality was excellent, and weather for harvesting fine. Over 500 cars. of 600 crates each, were shipped, at a net profit of $1.50 per crate The present pple crop will exceed the famous crop of 1895, when two counties produced over 2,000,000 bushels. The fruit is free from insects and perfect. Peaches, grapes, plums, etc., are abundant.

Stephens, in compliance with an act of the General Assembly, has appointed a commission of more or less distinguished personages to erect a Monument at the State Cap'‘tal in the honor and to the memory of Joe Bowers, Now the question presents itself in a for- midable shape. Who was Joe Bowers? Everybody has heard of him in the way of song and poetry and romantic fiction. Everybody understands he was “all the way from Pike,” but that does not appear to satisfy the widespread and sudden thirst for knowledge on this important subject. Artist Phil Kelly, with many others, has written the Post-Dispatch in this vein: Was there is it a name yy ‘typiecas ie Gee aa grant of the days of ‘jv? What data will the sculptor have to w f Sant an ee ork from in modeling his These are pertinent question, and possibly | noi all of those singlea our by the Governor to erect the monument could answer them. Prominent Pike County citizens, iike Champ Clark, Dave Halli and Col. Pat Dye.. have on divers and sundry campaign occa- sions testified to personal famiharity with Joe Bowers, and hav quoted from nim in that sang froid which betokens long ac- quaintance and tIntimate friendship. But, as a matter of fact, Joe Bowers was both a reality and a| myth, like the great god Pan, whose montiment is so earnestly desired for Forest ark. He did Lve and yet did not. He is dead ead he isn’t. Paradoxial as this may appear, it is in strict accord with thé language of the law enacted by the last General Assembly. sau Joe Bowers is dead is susceptible of Not many years ago it was related by a San Francisco daily paper that a human skull had been found in California in the pliocene formation. It was identified first us the remnant of the oldest pioneer of the State. It was found in a shaft 150 feet deep, two miles from Angel's, in Calaveras Coun- ty, and presented to the State Board of Geology. Then Bret Harte got hold of the skull and indited a geological poem to it, ciosing with these words, which came as an an- swer to his address: Which on’, na is Bowers, and my crust was ) et Falling duwn a shaft in Calaveras County, Bul 1d take it Kindy if you'd send the pieces tiuome to od Misseurt!

Twenty lives have gone out darkness, and twenty hands have been stained with human blood, but the demands of jus- tice have never been satisfied. Will the slayers ever be discov- ered? HW first and most remark- able of these cases is that of Mrs. Rebecca G. Land. She was years of age and con- ducted a humble employment agency in the McLean Bulldtng, at Fourth and Market streets, On the morning of Jan. 2, 1895, she was found dead on the floor of her office. The discovery was) made by another tenant who, althourkh the editor of a re- ligiousS paper, was afterwards forced to leave the city. When the body was removed to the Morgue it was discovered that the woman was suffering from a cancer, which had eaten far into her breast, But more: It was found that her skull and three ribs were fractured, and that her neck was broken. Considering these extraordli- mary facts, the police wisely con- disgust- ed with her life in the McLean Butlding, had foolishly com- mitted suicide. Accordingly ehe was buried, and that was the last ever heard of Mrs. Rebecca G. Land. Land, Mclfan Bullding'’s Mystery. NE of the most pecullar cases was that of little Abe Cohen, Abe lived with his parents at Ninth street and Franklin avenue. On the night of April 20, 1895, he was seen playing in that vicinity with several other children. At daylight the next morning he was found dead on a vacant lot at Second and Monroe streets, in North St. Louis. Little Abe Cohen, Did he Kill Himself? Rebecca G. | How did he get there? No- body knew—nobody. | For eeveral days Chief Des- mond’s most astute detectives worked on the mystery, but they were unable to soive it. In fact, they were unable to formulate a theory, other than that poor-lttle Abe Cohen, sick of life as it is seen on Franki-n avenue, had committed suicide. So they buried little Abe, and his case was shelved forever. RING the same month v D Christy Masterson was beaten to death in Dougherty’s saloon, at Sixth and Elm streets, where he was bartender The assault was wiade with a beer mallet, and the man’s face was beaten almost out of human ehape. The object, ap- parently, was robbery. From the first moment Carroll was suspected. His associates furnished such evidence as *on- vineed the detect:ves of his guilt, if it was not sufficient to justify trial. The case was most ex- yaustively worked in spite of many adverse influences. Carroll's first name was Charles. He, at the time, was only 21 years old. He was the son of a prominent politician, and had been a page in the Missouri Legislature. But he had fallen in with bad compan- ions and rapidly went the downward path. The ec!rcumstantial evidence against Carroll was strong, but he fled and has never been cap- tured.

At 10 o'clock that night his place was discovered to be on fire. In a back room the old man’s body was found, half consumed, He was rescued, but died with- in a few hours. His head and face were hor- r'bly beaten, and he was unable . to speak. The old man was a l'bertine, and this many youthful rivals were suspected. Several arrests were made, but nothing ever came of them. The old man was buried, and his taking off-ie still a mystery. Ignatz Goldman, an Aged Roue, and His Terrible Death. N the night of Oct. 12, 1895, an unknown man was found lying in front of 136 Franklin avenue.

On the morning of April 13, 1896, he pleaded a case in Judge Peabody's court. At 11 o’clock that night he was found dying in front of a church at Twenty-second street and Wash- ington avenue. Three hours lat- er he was dead. Several arrests were made, but nobody was ever Charles Donohoe’s Strange End. - convicted. His murder—for such it has always becn supposed to be—has remained a mystery to this day. & ip of the most startling cases of murder ditecov- ered in recent years in St. Louis was that of Thomas Reynolds, March 17, 1896. He was a decent old man, very saving in his habits, and board- ed at the Cleveland House, a cheap lodging place at 306 South Third street. He was generally liked, and the @ther boarders af- fectionately called him ‘“Tom- mie.’’ Reynolds wae supposed to have money, and this fact undoubt- edly cost him his life. On St. Patrick’s day he d'sap- peared, and a week later his body was found buried undera heap of ashes in the basement. A rope.was around his neck. Carl Meyer, the porter at the house, was indicted for the mur- der, but was acquitted, and the case was never heard of after- ward. Joseph Hickey, a laborer, re- siding at 2335 South Second street, was shot and killed in a drunken fight at Third and Bar- ton streets, June 7, 18%. His slayer was never discovered. The Tommie Reynolds Mystery. Myst 1896, was prolific of murder mysteries. On the 4th, Michael Moran, 2% years old, who lived at 2035 Howard street, was standing in front of a notorious saloon at Twenty-second and Division streets. He was shot in the back and died twodays later. The police put it down as a case of probable accident and let it go at that.

HASTY examination of the rec- y AN ords of the Police Department, which I have made at the request of the Post-Dispatch, in order to get the approximate number of actual murders committed in St. Louis since June, 18%, shows that the total number reaches 165. Of this number of murderers eleven es- caped and have never been captured. From a police standpoint, of course, I would be much pleased if none had escaped. Still, I think the showing made in these figures indicates alertness and activity on | the part of our limited police force in bring- ing manslayers to justice. Many circumstances have to be taken into consideration in why a man escapes after committing a murder. As a rule, men or women contemplating murder do not reveal to anyone their in- tentiona, and the first knowledge the police and the public receive ts after the deed is an accomplished fact. Sometimes sever- | summing up the causes} elapsed between the discovery of the mur- der and the tracing of the crime to the person who committed it, ample time has been given him to flee the city. If he does |not leave the city, it takes time to locate him. .-But time, patience, and careful at- tention to the running down of every clew will eventually, in ninety-nine cases out 'of a hundred, land him. al hours or even days may elapse before | the crime is discovered. Then comes the arduous dask of finding out the identity of the murderer. This accomplished, hunt for the murderer begins. The chances are that if much time has the | day or a minute ranted, and whose You cannot secure in a man who knows he is only desire is to avoid arrest. He is ever on the alert, and the first intimation he receives that he !s being watched or searched for, he moves, obliterating every trace of his footsteps. Then all the work must be gone over again. The city of New York has 5,000 policemen, and its department is.considered to be the ablest in the country. But I am informed that within the last two years 52 murderers have escaped there. The population of New York is about 1,950,786; of St. Louis, about 638,571; but 8t. Louls has only 685 regular policemen. In other words, New York, with a police- man to every 437 Inhabitants, fails to cap- ture 52 murderers in two years, while Bt. Louis, with a policeman to every 932 in- habitants, during about the same length of time, fails to capture eleven murderers. Is this showing bad? Think of the vast territory of the Mounted Police sas occupying a space as large as all the rest of the city combined, be- Imig patrolled by 100 men. Some of the beats are four or five miles long. It Is any wonder that a murderer or a thief escapes occasionally? I am safe In saying that, comparing our population and patrolmen with those of Other cities, no St. Loulsan need be ashamed of the record of captures in this city. Boston, with 500,000 population, has 1,024 policemen, or one to every 488 inhabitants, Chicago, with 1,650,000 people, has 3,246 police- men, or one to every W8 inhabitants. San Francisco, a city only half as big as St. Louis, has 558 policemen, or one to every 627 inhabitants. Brooklyn’s population is 1,223,000, and it has 1,820 policemen, or one to every 671 inhabitants. Philadelphia, with 1,280,000 people, has 1,7% policemen, one to every 712 inhabitants. St. Louls has a much smaller force, com- paratively, than any of the cities men- tioned, but I doubt whether the records of any of their police departments can show greater efficiency than ours. Had we a sufficient number of policemen ) to warrant the narrowing down of the beats now, walked, I am satisfied that our show- ing/would be considerably improved. Dur- ing the enforced ten days’ furlough tem of the last two years the department has found it necessary to dispense with the services of about eighty officers a day, cov- sySs-- ering a period of about ninety days. ' we bave managed to get along A eden any carnival of crime. No one will dispute me in the statement that with more policemen we would have less crime. My ambition In life is to catch criminals. No one is sorrier than I am to have one escape. I have never yet compromised with a criminal, and I never will. It shall al- ways be my a'm to use the force given me }to the very best advantage. My greatest desire is to give the best protection possi- ble to every citizen of St. Louis with the number of men under me, and I will strive to this end as long as I am connected with the department.

His invalid wife, his daughter, his friends and parishioners, two sets of detectives, and his brother have searched eighteen months but have found no trace of him. Judge Selden Spencer, the Postoffice De- partment, the Presbytery of St. Louls and all the agencies of the police have been employed to locate the minister. Only one faint clue to even the direction of his flight has ever been discovered. Hundreds of persons who knew Lee leave St. Louls every day. The lines of their travels weave an intricate tangle all over the map of these United States. Not one has ever crossed the path of Lee. He dropped off the earth, fled into obliv- fon on that bitter January day he left his home in Benton, carrying only a emall bag of immediate necessaries. Ten thousand St. Lou/sans knew him. He was known to an equa) number in other parts of the country—for he had lived in many places. His was a strongly marked individualhty. Those who met him never forgot him. For thirty years he had been a minister. Thousands knew him of whose existence he had no knowledge. He was a popular preacher. He preached sermons within the comprehension of all, and thou- eands had, studying him from the pews, heard his sermons. Professional criminals, trained to the work, whose intellect is all run to cunning, fall to cover the tracks of their flying feet. This preacher, having none of their art, boldly walked out of the life he had been living and was seen no more. Tie game day Mae Richey of Benton bade ‘well to frienda ehe had been visiting in iisville and started on a journey to Ala- aa, where other friends expected her. muse she was never heard of again her her died of a broken heart. Her mother's e has been lined by deep wrinkles; her ther’s hair is white as snow; the blinds their Benton home «are always closed, 1 neither her mother nor sisters ever go anywhere. Those who loved her have no part in the gmayeties of the suburb—they are cloistered by their sorrow; they shrink from the tongue of goss'p. Hundreds knew Mae Richey. All of Ben- ton knew her. None has ever seen her since that January day. Detectives fol- lowing st@adily week after week forlorn hopes of investigation, have been unable to lift the least cornér of the veil behind which ehe hides. Without sk!ll in disguise, without cunn'ng, without knowledge that would enable her tp balk detectives, she boldly de- as the soundest of Presbyterian churchmen. Edited and expunged as he was, heresy was to him an impossibility, and so he came to love that game of heretic hunting. He denounced those Bentonians who, by co-operation, built a hall for theatricals and dancing. He denounced the entertainments they gave and was seen one evening em- bracing Miss Richey back of a parishion- er’s house. The parishioner eaw this ecene very clear- ly by means of a small telescope. She told the story and the story enlarged from mouth to mouth until a church meeting was called to inquire into the preacher's moral character. Rev. Willlam J. Lee act- ed as moderator of that meeting. A ma- jority of the church members voted confi- dence in him and he remained. Grace Lee dismissed a lover who had actively en- geaged in the attack on the preacher and Mae Richey went to Louisville on a visit to friends. Mrs. Lee and her daughter went to Holden, Mo., where Lee had _ formerly preached. The preacher remained alone in his home a few days. Then the packed a Small bag and disappeared. THE SEARCH UNAVAILING. Search was made and continued without interruption for a year, but no tidings were ever heard of them, the man or the girl. The search for the erring m'‘nister was prosecuted by the church. The young lady’s family engaged detectives to find her. Two sets of detectives working on different lines failed to throw light on the mystery. By and by the detectives were called off, but the search was never abaridoned. Sugges- tions which presented themselves were acted upon from time to time, but all efforts were fruitless, | The circumstances {mmediately surround- ing their departure, whether shrewdly plotted or mere chance, were such that the searchers were handicapped. No one saw Lee leave the city. Hence the exact time of his departure is not known and that in itself was an obstacle for the detectives. Miss Richey was left among strangers, when her relatives and friends put her on board the train that night in Loulsville; so it was easy for her to move in any direction without being noticed or made the subject of comment. When Miss Richey’s disappearance was made known in Benton, folks suddenly re- membered they had not seen Lee for several days. Then as they questioned one another as to when they had seen Lee last nobody was quite sure. Some thought it was a feated all. For months scandal had linked the names of Lee and Miss Richey. She was 19 years old, pleasant to look upon, slight of form, features delicately modeled and _ colored, expression toned by the thoughts of one devoted to religion, language primly chosen and conversation serious. Lee was. 54 years old, five feet six Inches high, weight 13%) pounds, high benevolent forehead, nose unnaturally thin, upper Lip clean shaven,beard dark brown and trimmed to that form known to the irreverent as the “Hackensack bunch.” Had he ever been able to fatten his face he would have looked like Geo. M. Pullman preacherized., Lee's profession was advertised in all of his acts and dress. His daughter, Grace, was 19 years old, as mear a beauty as regular features, splendid coloring and Vivacity of mind and spirit ©ould make her. Her joyous soul laughed in her vyes. All Benton loved her—even the old ladies who tried to think that they ap- proved only the seriousness of Mae Richey. His wife had been bedridden for years— until a Christian Scientist calmly ordered her to ar'se and walk downstairs. She Walked, but was frail as a shadow: she Was as religious as a nun, uncompromising- ly orthodox and a Strict constructionist of @ll biblical commands. She was Lee's re- ligious conscience. She kept him within the was known by mall. They could tell nothing. The hus- band and father had made known to them no intention of leaving Benton, and if he had gone they were wholly in the dark as to the time of his leaving and his objective point. There is but one known Instance of Lee having communicated with parties in Bt. Louls since he went away. Early in Feb- ruary, 189, a letter was received at the St. Louis Postoffice bearing the postmark of Metropolis, Ill, a small town on the would forward for a period of three or four weeks any mail for Rev. W. J. Lee to Chi- cago, in care of his daughter. The name and address of a woman was given, but as it happened, no mail came for Rev. W. J. Lee within the time specified. Postmaster Carlisle is a resident of Ben- ton and he was surprised to learn that Mr. Lee had a daughter in Chicago. He made inquiries and was told that Miss Grace Lee was Rev. W. J. Lee’s only daughter, At the time this letter was received Miss Grace Capt. Richey is dead now. He survived the shock of his daughter’s disappearance only a year. Mrs. Richey and her two daughters are living in the family residence, 7829 Plateau avenue, Benton. The home is pretty and comfortable. It is a 2-story frame dwell- ing painted white, and it stands in the cen- ter of a well-kept lawn, which in the sum- mer time is radiant with blooming flowers and carefully trimmed shrubbery.

Lee was a graduate of Marietta College and Lane Theological Seminary, and com- ing from a prominent Pennsylvania family, there. were countless numbers in the East to whom he was as familiar as to those in the West. He has never visited old haunts nor called on old friends. Capt. George Richey, May Richey’s fath- er, was one of the most skillful pilots on the Mississippi River between St. Louis and New Orleans. His was a familiar face and name in river circles and everybody liked him. Indeed, he was held in such high esteem by everyone who knew him that no one could be found to go to him and per- form the disagreeable duty of telling him his young daughter was being made the subject of gossip on account of the atten- tions she permitted from the pastor of her church. Perhaps, if someone had gone to him months before the culmination of the scandal, the Richey home would still be happy and the home circle complete. | that silence and semblance to desolation that bespeaks so strongly the heavy hearts of those who live inside. If Mrs. Richey has ever heard aught of: her daughter, if she knows whether the young lady is alive or dead, or if she is still with her elderly tempter, or for that matter, if it was to be with him that she so mysteriously renounced her family ties, Mrs. Richey has never mentioned the matter outside of her home. She will not discuss it in any way. Her refusal to speak of it is not the refusal of indignation and anger toward a willful child, who has brought sorrow and disgrace upon a parent. It is the refusal of & mother bent with grief to lay bare again the wound of her life, the wound which has caused her to suffer as only mothers can suffer. She feels that her daughter is dead to her, if not to the world. She believes that nothing she can say can restore to her her first born. She would forget if she could. She thas already for- given, if there be that for which forgive- ness might be extended. Not many yards distant from the house stands the former home of the Lees. It is occupied now by another family, but the property is still in the name of Lee. Sym- minister’s creditors under a mortgage when he left Benton and turned it over to the deserted daughter, who had been left with- out resources. Circuit Judge Selden P. Spencer will rep- resent Lee when his case is called before the Presbyterian Synod in this city next October. When the St. Louis Presbytery took up the Lee case about a year ago it would have expelled him in short order had it not been for Judge Spencer, who held a seat in the Presbytery as an elder of the Washington and Compton Avenues Presby- terian Church. The legal bent in Judge Spencer asserted itself and he called out that a man could not be tried and convicted without being given a chance to be present and defend himself. “Very well, Judge Spencer,” replied the Moderator. ‘That's all right. I'll just ap- po'nt you Mr. Lee’s attorney.” Judge Spencer made as able a defense of Lee as he could, but the presbytery found the minister gullty of unbecoming conduct and suspended him, pending a more com- plete investigation. The notice of suspension was published in all the Presbyterian church papers, but it was not the means of shedding light upon the disappearance. Judge Spencer ap- pealed from the decision of the presby- tery to the synod which met in Sedalia, Mo., last autumn, but the synod upheld the find'ng of the lower body. Judge Spencer then appealed the case to the general assembly of the Presbyterian church and the matter was referred back to the synod on technical grounds. The case fascinates the judge. He has spent hundreds of dollars trying to find his client and has almost given up hope. LEE’S HOME AT BUZZARDS’ ROOST. Fourteen years ago, when the attention of English capitalists wag first directed to the resources of the South, a British com- pany established a b‘'g lumber mill in Cocke County, Tennessee, sixty miles west of the North Carolina State line. John 8S. Lee, a younger brother of the minister, was superintendent of the mills, and he induced W. J. Lee to try the mountain climate of Past Tennessee for the benefit of Mrs. Lee's health. W. J. Lee thereupon built a 4-room frame cottage in Cocke County, four miles east of the postoffice now known as Bridge- port. He and his wife and daughter re- mained nearly three years in this cottage. On Sept. 2, 1887, they left it to come to Missour!l. A colored man named Pinkney Arthur was intrusted with the care of the property, and to this day “Pink” Arthur, his wife and seven children have lived in the Lee cottage, paying the insurance and taxes upon it regularly. The post-office of Bridgeport was former. ly known as Whitwelk The name was changed six years ago because there was a post-office in Tennessee calied Whitchall, and the mall bags for each station frequent- ly became confounded. Bridgeport is situ- ated on the Southern Railroad, which is operated in conjunction with the Louisville & Nashville road. It is almost five hours fast running from Knoxville, and its single building other than the white-washed, rick- ety old shed that does service for a depot is the two-story brick grocery and dry goods store kept by J. C. Huff, who ts also the postmaster. Two years ago when Lee and Miss Richey disappeared a theary was put forth that they might have fled to the retreat in the fastness of the Tennessee mountains. The place was comparatively out of the path of civilization. Few if any strangers-ever found their way there, and hiding would be an easy matter. Those who knew the preacher best declared his Tennessee farm would be the last place he would go to, argu- ing| that he was too sharp not to know he would be sought there among the first places if detectives were sent out on his trail. The McCausland Avenue Church never- theless sent a messenger secretly to Cocke County, and he reported that Lee had not been in that region since he left his farm —_— —— ee _———— tt Judge, the Clerk, and the bondsmen, and had received from each a personal reply. A confederate supplied him with the sched- ules of property referred to from the court records. He had then forged the papers which were delivered by a confederate and the prison doors flew open. Johnson had gixty days’ start, but he was in no hurry.to get outside the State. About the time the escape was discovered he was located In Memphis with his two children. reporter named Eichelberger got a tip and played sleuth on him all one Sunday. But his lying in wait was so unskillfully done that Johnson grew suspicious, and while Eichelberger was watching the front of the house he escaped with the children at the back. He boarded an excursion boat bound for a return trip to Marion, Ark. There he left the boat. Some days later he was arrested at Brink- ley, Ark., and was taken back to Hunting- don. There he was tried, convicted of fore- ery, and sentenced to the penitentiary. He could not hope to repeat the fraudu- lent bond game, but his resources were not exhausted, One day the reading public was surprised and the legal officers indignant to learn that Johnson had been pardoned by Gov. Taylor. The pardon was genuine and the Governor was considerably censured by the press. In self-defense he gave the names of a score of prominent and influential citi- gena who had signed an earnest appeal for Johnson's pardon. Every forged. By some means Johnson had ob- tained the signatures of a number of gen- tlemen well known to the Governor, some of them very close to him personally and po- litically, and had forged their names (to an application for pardon. ohnson was arrested again, but he could mot be returned to the penitentiary. The rdon was genuine, however obtained, and ere was no going bebind It. Nor could Johnson be prosecuted for forg- signature Was — ing the names of the supposed signers of the petition. To* prosecute for forgery the forged paper must involve money or some- thine of value. There was no such element in this case, and Johnson was released. Johnson has not been heard from in Ten- elsewhere under that nessee since, nor name. He was never known to the police before the Huntington forgery. No other forgery has ever been traced to him, Wheth. er his operations were conffned to the forg- ing of one smal] check or whether he has done any big jobs under other names is not Known, but his pict has not been identified in the rogue’s gallery of the po- lice department of ang large city. With his skill as a forger, his knowledge of how to proceed to fill up blahk bonds in accordance with law, and hie ingenuity in procuring the signatures of the men whose writing he wanted to imitate, he is evident- ly fitted to become a veritable Jim the Pen- man. Perhaps he does not recognize the possibilities attaching to his genius and ex- pertness with the pen. PRAYING BY MACHINERY. Thibet is no longer the unknown country it once was. Recent travelers have pen- etrated to its most remote fastnesses, and in doing so have confirmed what had been looked on as myths of the earlier visitors. One of the most curious habits they find tn use in this most cumous of all eemi-civilized countries is that of praying by machinery. Small wooden drums are set up with prayers inscribed on them. They are fixed on a pivot, and whirling them with the finger is looked upon as saying the mystical prayer “Om Mani Padmi Om,” with which they are generally inscribed. 000000000000000000000000000 BILL O'BRYAN, TRAIN ROBBER oO How a Well-Known “Bad Man” of Missouri and Iffinois Died 000000000000 at Last With His Boots On. 0D00000000000000000000000000 Southeast Miesouri will never see another desperado like Bill O'Bryan.

He would ride into Charleston with two or three guns strapped around his belt, and everybody gave him the road when they saw him coming. For years he was known as a “bad man.” He never killed anybody, because he never had occasion to, but he had the whole of Southeast Missouri and part of Southern Il- linois vLluffed, and he knew it. Dut there came a time, as there usually loes in such cases, when William's bluff was called. On the £ ‘bad man.” = of Novémber 11, 1633, a pathetic friends saved it from going to the —— s in 1887. The messenger satisfied himself, though, that the missing man was still the owner of the place. Given that the property was still In Lee’s name it was a reasonable supposition that the man living upon it should know the whereabouts of his land- lord. It was also reasonable to conjecture that as the months rolled on Rev. W. J. Lee, becoming bolder through his contin- ued success in baffilng those who would seek his hiding place, might venture from his unknown residence on a visit to his East Tennessee property. Working on this line the persons who are intersted in clearing up the mystery sent a& representative to Bridgeport last week with three objects In view. They were, first, to discover if the Benton gossips were correct In their assertions that Mae Richey had joined her elderly charmer, and if she had, !f she were still with him; second, to notify him that the trial of his case would come up when the Synod of the Presbyte- rian Church met tn St. Louls next October; third, to obtain from him, if possible, the story of how a man could so cleverly elude for two years the keenest professional fer- rets and dodge the chances of being recog- n'ged at any time by some former acquaint- ance, NO TIDINGS * OF THE FUGITIVES. Pinkney Arthur had not heard from his landlord for four years. ‘‘Pink"’ believed him dead and good reason he had for it. For two years at regular intervals of six months Pinkney had posted to Rev. W. J. Lee in St. Louls a registered letter containing tax receipts, a renewal of the insurance policy on the frame cottage, and in one or two in- stances a $ bill, representing a paymen\{ on the small rent Arthur had agreed to give in return for the use of the cottage and its seven acres of ground. The letters have come duly to St. Louis, but not finding their way to the hands of the man for whom they were intended, they were promptly sent back to Arthur marked “unfound.” Arthur did not take to the use of the reg- istry laws until several letters he had di- rected to Mr. Lee had been returned to him by way of the dead letter office in Wash- ington, Arthur has saved all these letters and thelr contents, and he exhibited them to the Investigator as he commented upon the mystery of Mr. Lee's long silence. Arthur's bellef that the minister was dead was strengthened by a letter he received from Miss Grace Lee last December. The letter was dated from Kirkwood, Mo., where Miss Lee has been living with her cousin, Mrs. W. J. H. Brown. It began by offering as an excuse for writing the fact that it had been so long since she hadi heard of “the house at Whitwell.”” She wished to know what sort of condition the buliding was in, and if the taxes and insurance were kept paid up promptly. The letter was brief, and concluded with a message of re- membrance to Arthur's wife. “I know Mr. Lee is dead, and Miss Abby (Mrs. Lee), too,” earnestly said the darky when he produced the letter. “If they wasn’t dead Miss Gracie would a’ said something about ‘em im this letter.” The Lee cottage is eituated on one of the most picturesque bends of the French Broad River that winds its beautiful way around the foot of th Cumberland Mount- ains. It te built on the aide of a steep bluff in the center of woods so densely shaded that bulliding is altogether Iin- visible ata nee of twenty yards. The single track of the Southern Raliroad runs alongside the bluff below the cottage, but no passenger who looks out the window at this point ever dreams of a habitation so near. A great boulder juts out over the track. Its side, worn emooth and forming a perfect palisade, vents any view of the house from the train and likewise any view of the train from the house. It le an ideal retreat for Lee, but he has not been there. Rumor once located Lee tn Denver. At another time he was said to be a traveling photographer in Georgia and Alabama.

There all attempts to glean any informa- tion from her about herself or friends were futile. She remained unidentified that day and might have remained a mystery in- definitely, but that on Wednesday As- sistant Superintendent Reder chanced to see her and recognized in her a former pa- tient—Mary Holland. She is a widow who earns a bare living hy peddling. She lives at No. 1423 North Sixth street. She is 45 years old, but sick- ness and buffeting with poverty has aged her until she looks nearer 60 years old. Her gray eyes are deep in the sockets, her face is lined and withered and the look of constant bewilderment due to her unusual] affliction ‘does much to add to her senile appearance. At other times she talks wholly inco- herently and it is singular that at such times she seems to be particularly anxious to be explicit and direct. The more thought she gives to her words and the slower or more distinctly she gives them utterance, the less coherent they are. “What is this?’ asked Dr. Reder, hold- ing his watch before her eyes. ‘ The woman stammered and stuttered, a bewildered expression came into her eyes, she seemed to be studying hard to recall something long forgotten, and finally gave up in despair. “Ie it a watch?” asked the doctor. “Yes,"" came the answer promptly, ac- companied by a nod of the head, while a look of relief came into her eyes. “And what is this?’ said the doctor, hold- ing up a pencil. “Te it a watch?” asked the doctor.

She nodded her head “yes,” and the re- lieved look came into her eyes. “Where do you live?” asked the reporter. “T can't tell till he comes,” was the un- expected reply. “Till who comes?” “You know. He has been here since— since—since—since thirty.” This time every word was spoken slowly and distinctly. “Do you want to go home?” .“"Yes.”” came the response, eagerly. The question seemed to arouse her interest in- tensely. She raised her head from her pil- low, supported herself on her elbow and looked anxiously around. “Tell me where you live and I will. send you home.” She tried hard to tell. “‘Three—three—three—toon, tone,”’ she said. doubtingly. Then she added, as though she had solved the difficulty, ‘‘seven—nime, Il belleve.”’ All at once a light of intelligence came over her face. It seemed like an inspira- tion, as she said: “I live out there,’’ and pointed to the open window. When she realized that she was not un- derstood, she looked the very picture of despair. She began all over again: ‘‘Three—three —toon—hame, don’t you know? Won't you tell? You know him—hame, toon—three— thirty—seven—nine.’’ As the reporter arose to feave she sought to detain him, as though with him went her hope of escape. “Don’t you know?” she began, again. “Three—toon—tone—hame,"’ and so he left her still vainly trying to frame the words to express her ideas and wishes.

Malone, of 2028 Eads avenue. The homes visited in the rounds of the canvass will corroborate the story of the visits.) “I was decoyed into the ranks of the book agents’’ she writes “by an attractive advertisement in a daily paper.’’ “I handed the clipping to a man I found in the office indicated, and told him I had come in anewer to it. He carefully surveyed me. He is a clever man, and at once I imagined he knew my whole story. He knew I had never worked before, he knew of all my hopes and am- bitions. “He was too clever to tell me plainly that it was canvassing. He said,it was ‘maga- gine work,’ and asked me i had any tal- ent for writing. “I told him that little children went wild with delight over stories written for older heads which I simplified for them. At thie he knitted his brows thoughtfully, said such a talent was valuable, and told me, although he had filled the vacancy, to call @gain the following Monday. “I Kept the appointment, filled with hope and dreams of literary success. He hated to crush my hopes at once, so he told me in the most confidential way that he was man- aging the sale of a popular but expensive work, which only men and women of intelli- fence and talent could succeed in placing orders for.

A little, well-kept room in the rear of A. N. Ryan’s repair machine shop at No. 1116 North Broadway, where this strange Tai is nothing pretentious about the man works at the anvil, meets all requirements. It is simply furnished, the bed, two chairs and table being of plain material and cheap pattern. Scattered about the apart- ment are a number of Swedish books that treat of religious and natural science, and copies of the secular press. Despite its cleanliness it is not a cheerful place, the view from the single window being flanked on all sides by dingy walls and dirtier fences. A man who was pounding a red-tipped bar ceased work at the reporter's question. ‘“Bijorkstrom? That's me. What do you want?’ he inquired, looking the visitor over with a not too friendly eye. Bjorkstrom is a Swede. His five-foot ten-inch frame is well filled out with hard muscular flesh, giving him a weight of probably 160 pounds, Exposure has bronzed the skin that was onee fair, and 48 years have streaked his dull brown hair with gray. The face of medium width and +f well to a point at the chin is adorned with a reddish brown mustache and goatee. The lips meet firmly over uneven teeth, Reneath a narrow nose. His forehead is low, and shaggy eye- brows the color of his hair shade a pair of peculiar eyes. These have no decided color, but were blue and are becoming gray. The left iris contains a dash of brown. Hs look js honest, and the eye meets the questioner’s fully and frankly. The me- chanic’'s somewhat lanky limbs were clothed in brown jeans and a gray shirt cov- ered his broad. chest. He preferred to talk in the yard, and after looking carefully around to see there were no eavesdroppers, he joined the reporter on a small bench. ‘“‘To those interested in science,”’ he said, “I do not object to talk- ing, but the common people can never understand my theory or see the wonderful vision of God as I do, because they lack the divine inspiration.

My parents and sisters were devout merm- bers of the Established Church, so during the early years of my Hfe I was well taught in Biblical philosophy. Theology was al- ways attractive to me, afid I took kindly to any teachings along that line, and in the long winter evenings I studied my Bible by the fireside. “The first knowledge I had of being dif- ferent from any one else occurred one snowy night in my native town.

E. Church: contact with people who think they see supernatural things. I have made it a rule to give euch matters little attention, as I am firm in my belief that such visions are vagaries or hal- lucinations. “I do not believe in encouraging such forms of emotional religion. Man’s nature is such that he needs no sight of things supernatura! to keep in the right path. God has re- vealed Himself to man through His Son, Jesus Christ. We can have a concept of the Son, but we shall never see the Father. The human eye is not made to see God. If it were, why should not all of us who have eyes enjoy the sight of the Father? Why should He manifest Himself to a scoffer and deny the splendor of His glory to men who have devoted their lives to Him?’ “In the course of my life as a minister I often come in 3 show of entering God’s domains as any other mortal.

I had followed nis career, read his works and was convinced that the right idea had been discovered at last. Every spare moment I devoted to Strindberg. The more I read the firmer became my belief. “It was eleven years ago that I first saw God. I thad been studying hard all evening, and was prepar- ing to retire. Suddenly a feeling similar to that I had when I saw the bright-faced child years ago came over me. .“"‘My knees shook with fright and cold perspiration streamed from my forehead. Then all at once the sensation changed from one of fright to one of exquisite joy. Before my eyes rose the vision of Almighty God. ‘How do I know it was He?

Think of that.” ° The Swede'’s eyes were blazing with ex- citement, and his cheeks flushed rwith enthusiasm. He had been carried away by his own tale, and it was some moments before he composed himself. ‘That's the best I can do,”’ he said apol- ogetically. “When a painter takes up a new canvas he has in his mind a most beau- tiful picture. The work of his brush may secure the plaud- its of the world, yet it is not one-half so beautiful as the pict- ure in the artist's soul. So it is with me. I cannot paint the picture of God as I! know it. The vision has re- turned to me many times, both in the old country and here. It is always the same. The last time I saw it was a week be- fore last Christmas, It usually comes after a long period of hard studying. I haven’t done much of that of late, which may account for its long absence. I don’t care much, the joy is so great it hurts after the Presence has been removed.”’ “Did you ever speak to the vision?” ' “No; it would be é¢mpossible.

He does not recognize that Christ was more than mortal; he thinks the Sermon on the Mount was well worded, but not inspired; that the transfiguration was a myth, an idle dream of the two disciples; that the crucifixion was the work of the Roman Emp€ror, not of Pilate or the High Priests; that the resurrection from the dead is a pretty legend, and the ascent into Heaven depends upon the morality of the man. He is especially bitter against St. Paul. “I haven't read my Bible for twelve years, and I haven't been in church for nine years,” said Bjorkstrom. “Why? On account of so many thieves and rascals in the pulpits. “They preach very little about Jesus Christ, who was a great and good man. It is all about St. Paul. They are thieves like him; that’s why they hold him up. “The world has the wrong religion. That is proven every day. There is only God to rule us. His book telis us what to do, and if we choose not to do M, we suffer the conse- quences.”’ The mechanic says he hae no idea of the appearance of the devil, as he never thinks about that part of the here- after. : Among his neighbors Bjorkstrom bears a good reputation.

At least they are curious and interesting. “I cannot explain this matter,”” sald Mr. Odenheimer to a Sunday Post-Dispatch re- porter during a private exhibition given for the exclusive benefit of the Post-Dispatch. “I know little, if anything, about psychic phenomena. All I can say is these seem to me to be psychic.”’ Mrs. Odenheimer sat quietly beside her husband and nodded her head in consent. “It is no new thing to us,” Mr. Oden- heimer said. “For years I have been familiar with these manifestations in my wife and have found it interesting, often [nusing, and at times fearful. “T have had scientists, physicians, clergy- men and those specially interested in sychic phenomena witness these mani- estations, and none has offered any ex- llanation or intimated that he considered hem a hoax. Before her exhibition Mrs. Odenheimer ippeared in a white gown of simple Gre- ian design, and seating herself closed her yes without any ado or preface. She re- hen, rising with her eyes closed and her ace turned slightly upward, she began to talk in a strange voice and with a changed facial expression. “I am Ahasuerus,” she said, tn the voice ot a man, and then she, or Ahasuerus as you will, went on to relate how Ahasuerus’ daughter Rachel, beautiful and much de- sired, had been sought in marriage by Amilico, a rich Turk, whom she despised. Ahasuerus told in detail how he had forced Rachel to give up thoughts of others Whom she fancied and to marry Amilico, having made a bargain with the Turk to s | f g i t I ell her to him for so much In jewels and m cattle. Ahasuerus had nothing but mis- lortune after this and in his old age he earched everywhere for his daughter, and n visiting the city where Amilico had aken Rachel he encountered her and she tursed him violently for having sold her oO a man she hated. The last thing he heard as he died was her curse, This narrative concluded, a convulsive ‘“T am Rache!l,”’ she said, in the soft voice if a woman, and Rachel went on to cor- elate with great vehemence and passion iow she hated Amilico, the man to whom per father had sold her, and how she was \im intensified until her life was intoler- Lble. ° Amilico came next with an appropriate Then came Napoleon in characteristic at- titude. Napoleon talked to Josephine and told her what historians might be delighted to know, that he loved her and her only, and had never ceased to love her, but had married Marie Louise solely through his ambition to be allied with royalty. Josephine followed and spoke of her love for Napoleon and her solicitude for his well being and his empire, even after he had set her aside. There was another sudden and complete change. “IT am Nadje,” said a spright! reon, who seemed tall, slender and stuniesoten “Nadje, the Russian Nihilist.” : Nadje admitted havi been cerned in a Nihilist plot, - aber pe then ape ex.- plosion in @ theater, herself having applied the match. She was arrested. She spoke of the horrors of the march to Siberia and of the life there; how the officials had tried to break her proud spirit and had failed, and how, despite all they could do, she had etarved herself to death. This concluded, Mrs. Odenhelmer hest- tated, swayed and staggered as if she would fall. Hee face assumed its natural appear- ance and her eyes opened slowly. Then came Mrs. Odenheimer’s charming smile as she blinked her eyes a bit and inquired what kind of a goose she had been making of herself. Having excused herself and donned the costume of an Italian boy, closing her eyes as before, she remained silent for a time and then rose, exclaiming brightly: “I am Tony. You don’t know me, but that does not matter. I am glad to be here.” Tony told how, having no parents, he had been adopted by Tomaso and had been very happy, loving the sunlight, the flowers and music until one day Tomaso struck him. Then he went away, and after wandering a long time felt the invitation of the water which he had always loved too strong to resist, plunged in and was drowned. “I am happy now, though,” he said, “and I am going to dance and sing,” and he did so. 5 Mrs. Odenheimer went through the pro- cess of robing again, and this time dressed as Richard III. By closing her eyes she was soon transformed into that interesting though terrible personage himself, “halt and misshapen.” With contorted counte- nance and discordant voice Richard him- self again held forth and told of his mach- inations and terrible deeds, In conclusion, Ts. Odenhelmer imper- sonated Julius C . Her attitude had all the dignity of the great Roman con- queror; her face paled and became austere, and her word and gesture were regal and imperious. Caesar talks to Brutus in the Roman Senate. Suddenly he reels and shudders as he receives the treacherous sword thrust. He staggers and with a cry of anguish more of protest to the treachery than of pain, he falls heavily, dead—not like the actress simulating a dying person, but with the “dull thud” of a bodpy de. prived of its animating principle.

Story of the on a Strange Old Scout’s Experience March With a Trav in. the Old Far West. California Joe was_one of the most inter- | esting specimens of his class, as well as one of the best known to all people familiar with the West of thirty years ago. His queer orig- inalitay made a great impression on Gen. NCuster, and in his book on life on the plains the General makes frequent mention of him. What Joe’s real name was or where he came from, nobody knew, for that was @ subject on which he never would talk. The last time I met Joe was in 1874, the year before he died—died with his boots on, as the logical conclusion of such a wild, adventurous life as he led. Somebody shot and killed him at the Red Cloud Agency some time in 1875. , But in 1874 I was acting as guide to the Big Horn Mountain expedition against the Indians, of which Gen. Anson Mills Was in command. One day we were marching along the very summit of the big divide te- tween the Big Horn and the Powder rivers and came to a halt to rearrange the pack- train saddles and so forth. Four hundred miles from the living place of any human, all of a sudden we saw @ man on the hills at a distance in the rear. He was on horse- back, traveling quietly along in the same direction we were headed. As he drew nearer I saw it was my old acquaintance, Joe. “Hello, Joe,” I shouted, as soon as he was within hearing. ‘““Where in the world are you going away off here?”’ “Oh, nowheres in pertickler, ‘Jest out fer a mornin’ ride.” He kept along with us without event for several days, until rather late one after- noon when we were nearing Cloud Peak, in the Big Horn Mountains. We came upon a grave, but a grave made with such care, so Deautifully and heavily covered with stones to keep out the prowling wolves, that it told a very touching little story of its own of devoted friendship. As we stood grouped about it Joe came up. He looked at the grave for a moment, and then suddenly dashed his greasy coyote skin cap on the ground, and in a voice that thrilled curiously in contrast with his usual listless drawl, he cried out: | “At lease?” And then he told his story, slowly and with a good deal of dramatic power. “The man in this grave,” he said, “was one of a party of us that was trappin’ and prospectin’ ever so long ago up at the mouth of the Columbia River; doin’ a little work for the Astors trappin’ and doin’ a little work for ourselves trappin’. Hut there wasn't no lead in sight up that way that promised to pan out, so we all allowed we'd strike back towards the Missouri River, prospectin’ as we went along “We went through Idaho and Montana and worked along into Wesicrn Wyoming. One day while we was goin’ slowly along " he replied, >i down a tributary of the Shohone River ali they was. Big and little yeller nuggets scattered around in the bottom of the stream. No man livin’ ever seen the jike of it. We never stopped to bother about our bronchos. We} jest spiashed into that stream hands and |feet and began clawin’ out them nuggets.| In less'n half an hour all about with ‘em. “Then we thought about the broncho, and all I need to té¢il you is that we loaded down the bronchos and loaded dow? our- selves with them gold nuggets until we couldn’t carry another ounce. We threw away everything we haa and could get along without and took nuggets on tn Its place. Then we stfuck out. Sur plan was to get to the Missouri! and then bulld a raft and float down to St. Louis, and we did, only when we got right where we are now standing the man lyin’ under them stuns took sick all of a suddent and tn two hours he was dead. We buried him and fixed that grave jest the way you see it now, Nothin’s ever touched it. That I'd swear to."’ “Well,” asked one of the officers, “what did you do with your nuggets?” « “Oh, I cashed mine in St. Louls, went to New York and from there went to Parise. It was nearly two years before the last of it was gone. Then I got over to Engiand and worked my way round io the Pacific coast on a sailin’ ship.” “Look here, Bill,” he sald, as s00n as.We were alone, “do oo" rep to see some fun?” “Of course I do,” |I replied. me along with me; we can make a sneak ht now,” said Joe. “But,” I replied, “don’t we need any- thing? Don't we need a pick or’’-—— Joe looked at me with a grave, almost melancholy expression for a moment before he replied. Then he said, slowly: “N—no. I guess we can get along without any pick.” Fie led the way and I followed. He started in the opposite direction from the grave, but, as I thought would be the case, he gradually began to circle around until finally we were among sone boulders over- looking the apot where the Just of the dead man was moldering away among his buried treasure. a “Now,” sald Joe, “you jest squat yourself behind that there boulder fer awhile and you'll see more durn fun tan you ever seen in your life before.” Well, Joe was right. Before he had been there helf an hour shadowy forms began stealing in and out of tne gloom. They came singly, they came ip pairs and they came in groups of three and four, and such a clattering of picks and tossing of aire as they made!

Who could possibly ve dull when the sky is gelways—almost always— as clear and blue as a sapphire, and t®e air Is so cool and vivifying? The lake in itself is a never-falling source of interest to me. On clear days it is like a buge mirror, reflecting the vast expanse of blue sky, the tiny, duffy, flurrying white clouds, and the dazzling little diamonds of sunlight. At sunrise it ig a big opal, with ever-changing, neutral tints, and at sundown there are paths of gold, deep pools of ruby light and quivering, scintillating bare of purple, green, blue and palest rose-pink. There is not an artist living who could reproduce such a picture. The colors are so rich and 60 gor- geous that they seem fairly alive. I wish I possessed the power to describe to you, as I saw it, the appearance of the sky one night soon after our arrival. We were ealling on the The sun had set and the WP clear, star-lit night during the early portion of last week a party of frolicsome young people gath- ered at the home of Mrs. J. E. Gate- wood, No. 382 Cook avenue, with the pro- claimed purpose of going for a hay ride. Their spirits bubbling over with the wild emotions of early childhood, fifieen young couples began a very informal ride on a large and Dillowy hay-rack. Fastidiousness regarding the fashion in which they seated themsely 4 was not considered de rigueur, and in a few moments dainty little feet mingling with full-grown Trilbies dangled in unconventional confusion from all! sides of the huge pile of hay.

The rain niinued throughout the night, and still he guests stayed on drifted great piles of feathery white clonds. The eastern sky was a wide expanse of dark greenish-blue unrelleved by anything except the great round moon, which was just Sppoariog over the horizon. The south wae a soft yra blending of the east and west, and the nort was a dense and sullen black bank of clouds, which were outlined sharply now and then by angry flashes of lightning.

The opinion against this tax expressed by Mr. Potter, president of the League, was based upon a misapprehension. He thought that bicycles only were to be taxed, and that other vehicles were to be exempt. When he learned the facts, that all vehicles are compelled to be licensed, he withdrew his opposition, saying that ‘‘all property should contribute to the support of the cemmu- nity.”’ He expressed the hope that the wheel- men of St. Louls would take “a dignified position of right,"’ and avoid a “niggardly policy.” We respectfully urge upon the riders in St. Louis that to contest the pay- ment of the small tax of one dollar a year would be “‘niggardly,.”’ and that the ‘“‘digni- fied position of right” is that of cheerfully 4 ry! this tax. he payment of this tax places wheelmen in the position to insist upon street improve- ments, and unless it is paid by riders gener- aliy this committee will be powerless to ac- complish what they have in view. he ap- nr of over $5,000 for bicycle paths n Forest Park, which has just been made, ie an evidence that the city government is ready to recognize our standing as taxpay- ¢ ee 4 °*r\e f e*re oys Si life a pair: Sweep- Oe ors, worth from 75c to $1.75 > os ants 196 0 extra fine Crochet and Mar. out price....... ot Ne each, in, this sweep out sale PES Os cree geilles Quilts, slightly soiled, at SS All our Boys’ $2 ”% Their Actual Value 5c and 25c Vests Price Of ..sccceee oeseccce 5c Knee Pant 95¢ — Sults cut to for 9c $1.00 Corsets at35c.

BIKE LAWS ~ ARE BADLY NEEDED. —" Satisfactory Ordinance Was In the House of Delegates, but It Was Killed. Complaints continue to be made about the scorchers who burn up the residence streets and avenues during the afternoons and evenings. The people of McPherson avenue euffer probably more than those in any other sec- tion of the city from the scorcher. That street furnishes him a good roadway and no sooner does he get on it than he wants to see how fast he can go. With his head bent low over the handle bars of his bike he scorches along. He can se@ neither to the right nor the left, and a& his eyes are not in the top of his head he can not see the pedestrians or the bi- cyclists riding down to meet him. The bicyclists of the city of St. Louis all 00000000000000000000000000 An ordinance regulatimg the use of bicycles, tricycles and velocipedes in the city of St. Louls. See. 1. to apply Sec. 2. Sec. 5. of a misdemeanor, and wpon conviction Be it ordained by the Municipal Assembly of the city of St. Louis, as follows: That # ehall hereafter be unlawful for any person to ride a bicycle, tricycle or velocipede or ether like vehicle over any street or public thorough- fare, or in any public park within the city of Gt. Louis at a greater speed than ten miles an hour; provided, however, that the provisions of thie section are not to any inclosed track or race course. Any person who shall not slacken the speed of such bicycle on ap- proaching any cross walk upon which any person may be in the act of crossing, or in the act of approaching or leaving a street car, or shall negligently ride such bicycle so as to cause same to come in collision with or etrike any other object or person, shall be deemed gullty of a misdemeanor. Sec. 3. Any person riding a bitycle shall have a gong attached to same, shall carry a light in front of the bicycle at night. Sec. 4. The provisions of this ordinance are not to apply to tricycles or veloci- pedes riiden by children under the age of 12 years. Persons violating any of the provisions of this ordinance shall] be gulity should just as much be on the lookout for bicyclists as bicyclists for pedestrians. The ordinance provided that there should be no scorching by regulating the speed of bicyclists to ten miles an hour. It also pro- vided that a light should be carried on ev- ery wheei ridden at night, About the time this ordinance was intro- duced by Mr. Weeke, the Cass avenue butcher, another found its way into the House of Delegates. It provided for a tax on bicycles. According to it each owner o a wheel was required to pay a license fee of $1 per year. This new method of levying a tax met with some opposition. Finally it was ex- plained that the bicyclists were willing to pay the $1 tax provided that no ordinance be passed regulating the speed of bicyclists or requiring them to carry lights or bells. The statement was made in the House that the bicyclists were unalterably opposed 10 an ordinance of that kind. Upon this explanation Mr. Weeke allowed the ordinance, upon its second reading May 25, to be referred to the Committee on Leg- islation, June 29 the committee reported the. ordi- nance without recommendation. It was laid over for one week, and on July 6 was up for third reading or final action. Then it was that the motion to file was made. It was explained that the bicyclists would pay the $1 tax; that they were all against the proposed speed, lights and bell ordinance, and that it should be killed. Accordingly, the ordiance was filed. That means it was killed. If passed to a law that ordinance would have been satisfactory to the people. It would have given relief to the citizens therefor shall be fined not less than $25 nor more than $100 for each and every offense. 000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000060000000 |favot a law that will squelch the bicycle | scorcher.

Two of the most energetic bicyclists in St. Louis are Mr. and Mrs. Irl Butler of 1534 Warren street, in North St. Louis. In that neighborhood are a number of young ladies who are enthusiasts on the wheel, and Mr. and Mrs. Butler act as their chaperones at least once a week. Mr. and Mrs. Butler love the wheel for the sport that’s in it. No party in the neighborhood is ever complete unless they are the leaders of it. Mr. Butler manages to get one day off in every week, and he and his handsome young wife head a party of riders into the country at least once a week. Yesterday Mr. Butler had a day off from his business, and he and his wife organized a run to the Chain of Rocks. The others in the party were Miss Potee and her brother, and Miss Mamie Scales. The run out was almost in fecord-breaking time. Mrs. Butler rides a> wheel geared to 7), and she almost rode the young ladies to death. They left Mrs. Bytler’s home at 6 o’clock in the morning, and in exactly an ‘table and picturesque route. hour were at their restination, the Chain of Rocks. There Miss Scales, who ie an expert with the camera, made several pictures of the riders, Those of Mr. and Mra Butler are reproduced on this page. Mr. and Mrs. Butler say they have ridden more miles than Mr. and Mrs. Hildebrand, and Mr. and Mrs. Hildebrand are supposed to have ridden more journeys and longer patanses than any other bicyclists in St. yuis “Three years ago,” says Mrs. Butler, “my husband and I planned a bicycle fishing trip. We left here one Saturday night and rode to Morse’s Mill, the same trip it took the sieeorends and Hellmichs two days to make, “Each of us carried a disjointed fishing- ole and a bucket of minnows hung to the rames of our wheels, and our lunch. “We fished out in the river and I daresay we caught more game fish than ever Mr. and Mrs. Hildebrand or Mr. and Mrs. Hell- mich caught.’’ Mrs. Butler ts a very enthusiastic wheel- woman, and she has an ambition. to be one of the few women riders to go to De Soto. She has tried several times to organize a party for the trip, but has failed. Now she has the promises of Miss Potee and Miss Scales to go with her, and they may be expected to undertake this hard trip within the next week or two. Mrs. Butler always has a new and up-to- date wheel. Upon her laat birthday her husband gave her a new wheel. It is in the shape of a breastpin. Small diamonds are set in the wheels, and the frame and handle bars are made of emeralds, with a big dia- mond for the searchlight in front. _———— CC — $12 Mackinac, Petoskey and Put-in-Bay and return August 4 via the Clover Leaf Route and D. & C. steamers, Most comfor- Only a limited number of tickets will be sold.

It had been a strug- gle all through, and events had seemed to be against them from the start. Now the end was at hand and the three men who had toiled together with so much zeal and ardor were forced to realize the actual state of affairs. Yes, the game was up, and they must leave the scene quickly. They knew it was strong against them, and they would be in bad odor unless they were very careful. } i KAR PREFERABLE, “Those Pumpernickel boys beat Bonnaker,” re- marked Gowanus to me the other. morning as we swung side by side to the straps on the Elevated (so-called) Express train, “and as some erudite author once stated thateBonnaker beats his Sa- tanic Majesty, you can pretty well realize that Arty and Joey Pumpernickel are the kind that of medals on the labels. “Not long ago,”” he went on, after apologizing just beeen sitting, and picking up the demolished i ; ' Parke—Wonder if the Hardupps are going out! | | BAZAAR.

CENTURY QUARREL. When the evening meal was finished and the hired boy had cleared away the dishes, Mrs. Flatte settled down in her easy chair. Then her husband ran to perch upon her knee for the customary chat before his wife took up her newspaper. For some minutes there was the usual flood of masculine talk, which Mrs. Flatte, like a sensible wife, did not attempt to interrupt. She listened patiently while her husband-prattled on in his artless, boyish fashion, recounting the domestic and the exorbitant demands of the icewoman. Finally he paused for lack of breath. Then Mra Flatte told of her lucky dea] in sugar and was promptly coaxed into the promise of a sealskin on the strength of it. After that there was silence, and the husband lay nestled in the arms of his wife. The latter amused herself by blowing the smoke from her cigar into his face and laughing at his frantic coughs. “By the way,” she said suddenly, “how is your Have you tried the tar and brick-dust I recommended?” He seemed to shrink at the question, and his delicate é6val face assumed a look of pain. “Why,” he queried, reproachfully, “do you make so many unkind remarks about my mustache?” For a moment the wife did not answer. Then she replied unfeelingly: “Because, my dear, it ought to be called down.” While she is chuckling at the jest he slips from her lap and rushes into his room, With a sudden twinge of remorse the wife has- tily follows, only to have the door shut and locked in her face. ! “I say, old boy,”’ she cries, with clumsy good- nature, ‘don’t let such a trifle upset you! I didn’t know you'd take it so much to heart. Let me give you a kiss and tell you I'm sorry.”’ There is no answer.

The gaunt wolf lingers by the door, The house is still as death; The gaunt wolf lingers there no more, Because he’s out of breath. —The Lost Chord, “Stand, villain! I would speak with thee.” The voice of Pasqualle Gonzales, low and menac- ing, fell like an overripe peach upon the ear of Bert Bradshaw. “Tell me your full name, and state where you are going and why you are going there!’ And the speaker laughed like a hyena about to be deprived of his whelps. Had The Blind Mendicant been a coward he would have answered with a lie. There was a fine opportunity for such an evasion. But turning his green goggles full upon the fretful Italian, he an- swered in clear, bell-like tones: “T am a bohemian, and I am going to take a bath.” “I do not believe you. In your heart you have a plot incubating to rob me of Myrtle Maitland. Where are you going after your ablution?”’ Drawing the tail of his Prince Albert defiantly about his shoulders the Mendicant answered haughtily: “Sir, this night I ask the fair Miss Maitland for her hand: I have a date with her in two hours. The orb of day is setting in the west. Farewell— like a swine I shall soon be wallowing in the trough of the sea.” CHAP. III.

Then turning to his peanut-stand again, he looked long and wistfully at the bright copper roaster _ that had, with Myrtle Maitland, so long shared the emotions of his heart. For a time two thoughts, love and duty, warred in his brain. The first meant happiness—the pursuit of the other eternal misery. Again he looked at the meagre supply of roasted peanuts, which threatened to give out at any minute. Then & look of determination came to his face. “No,” he said, finally, “I shall not steam _up. The whistle of my roaster, which has each evening lured Myrtle’s bulldog from his beat, shall be silent this night. The brute has a duty to perform;, may he perform it well. My curse upon the car- _cass of Bert Bradshaw!!!!” CHAP. IV.

Rreak, break, break, From thy silent shell, oh, duck; And I'll, like thy mother utter, Thy lullaby, cluck, cluck, cluck. — Chapter Il. Morning was come again. The sun, as usual, rose in the east, and like the yolk of a hard-boiled egg, slowly crept up to the zenith. In the quiet hamlet of Fort Lee might have been seen a kindly-faced man passionately bending ove! eleven ducklings. They had only come to earth during the night, and yet they were unhappy. And why? Ah. the kindly-faced man was saying: “Cluck! cluck! cluck!” His words recalled to memory these lines from Whittier: The warble of the porcupine Is louder than the wren's; The blunt proboscis of the swine Is stror ger than the hen’s. Chapter Iil, The dolour of the evening hung like a. piece of bunting over the brow of the Palisades. The zephyr sighed like a designing widow among the rock pines, mingling harmoniously with the moans of the duck farmer. The pale moon again came up into the sky and shed its milky flood upon the duck works. But the incubator, in sc!emn gran- deur, stood there cold and silent. Down by the | river’s edge the laving tide kissed the upturned | feet of eleven ducklings, now cold in the cruel | grasp of death. “Oh, why have I been bereft,’’ muttered the duck | farmer, turning away from the scene as a minis- | ter with dyspepsia would shun a dish of plum pud ding. “T’ll tell you,” epoke a voice at his side. “You, said ‘Cluck! cluck! cluck! to them when you, should have said ‘Quack! quack! quack!’ ”’ The speaker was Josh Jeykel, the Hackensack goose fancier.

The| funeral of Bije Slawson, one of our best- known and most honored citizens, was held on Sunday afterpoon in the Red Light Dance Hall, of which he had for so many years been the success- ful proprietor. | heretofore seen in our town. It was the dandiest funeral ever held in these parts and was a stunning tribute to Bije’s popu- larity. The floral offerings laid over anything Most of them came from the various social and other clubs of which Bije was a member. From the lodge of Jolly Good Boys came a cross five feet high of roses and lilies. ; volver of lilies-of-the-valley and carnations. The You Bet Poker “'r» sent a floral emblem two by /‘ three feet in size of white and scarlet carnations | arranged as a huge Poker Club, of which Bije was an honorary mem- ; | ber, | white ace of hearts. The Ladies’ huge of hearts in flowers of From the Saturdays Club came a magnificent floral punch-bow!l of roses filled with crimson roses. The Git- Up-and-Git-There Horse-Racing Association sent a floral pony composed of white pinks with a scar- let saddle astride which there was a tiny jockey in various bright-hued flowers. Many of those present thought that this took the cake, but the offering sent by the Dance Hall Ladies’ Society was also a corker, consisting as it did of a full- size ballet dancer done entirely in white and pink roses. The Dead Broke Brotherhood sent a witty little device composed of a pillow of white asters on which in pink rosebuds were the words “Lend me a quarter.” There were many smaller tributes too numerous to mention. Nine bands were’in the sent a ' various kinds. queen funeral procession, and in ftfie evening a sacred concert followed by a free dance Was given as a ‘kind af a memorial service to Bije, who is going ; ' M.

And be so careful about locking the doors nights. It would be like you to go off to bed and leave the doors wide open—you are so forgetful. And do try to remember that the children are to have only the plainest food at the table, and don’t forget that Harry is to be taken to the dentist’s on Friday, for I have made an appointment for him. You are so forgetful of little details. I declare I don't know what would become of this family if I was as for- getful as you are. But, thank heaven! I'm not. I don’t dare to be. Some one must keep their wits about them.” And on the way to the station she “rattled on’”’ in this vein: “I'd feel so much easier about going away if you were not so forgetful. I'm afraid that you'll forget half I've told you, but don't forget to have a carpenter come and fix the clothes-line reel or the girls won't have any place to hang out the washing on Monday. And don't forget that the children must be in bed by 8 o'clock. It would be just like you to forget and let them stay up until 9, and then the habit would be formed and I'd have an awful time breaking them of it. And I beg of you, forgetful as you are, not to forget that"-— “Here we are at the station,’ interrupted Hig- gins. “Give me your ticket so that I can get your trunk checked.” “Don't forget and have it checked wrong,” she said as she fumbled in her handbag for her purse, and having opened it, she said: “Why, where is that ticket?
