HE WANTED A BIG LAWSUIT DISMISSED. Standard Oil Was Interested and Bulldozing Methods Were Used to Make Watson False to His Trust. But the Honest Man Resisted Firmly, Refused a Lawyer's Bribe, Stood Up for McKinley and Is Now Out in the Cold. Special to the Post-Dispatch. | COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 11.—“No man in public office owes the public anything.” Marcus Alonzo Hanna on Nov. 21, 1899, wrote that sentiment in a letter to David Watson, who at that time was Attorney- General of Ohio, and a Republican politi- clan who has since eerved creditably in Congress. Hanna has since become a pub- lic man, and the quoted expression is a clear index into his real character. The letter was a bulldozing attempt to prevent Watson from suing to annul the charter of the Standard Oil Co. Its publi- cation has created a big sensation, as it ‘has brought out the additional confession that a New York lawyer came here, so it is alleged, with $100,000 in cash to bribe Watson. Neither the bulldozer nor the briber was successful. Watson was then the friend of President McKinley. He was promised great things 1» MeKinley and worked loyally for him. die is etill waiting. He has been turned down by Hanna and the Standard Oil Co. The President thus acknowledges his debt to the bulldozers and the bribe-givers; the Republican Ad- ministration is revealed In its true colors. @ne result of this duplicity and cowardice has been the arraying of Watson’s friends against Hanna. They may support him, but his defeat would give them great joy. The story of the affair reveals a remark- able state of official depravity. When the suit was pend'ng Watson went to New York. In the Gilsey House an old friend now living there called, saying he had been asked to talk over the matter and 6ee if the suit could not be diemissed. “Let me explain to you, Watson, that this Standard Oj! Co. has nearly as much power as the Government of the United States. It has more money than many of the small- er governments of the earth.” Watson was not tempted, and he Informed his friend that “nothing could be done to stop the progress of the action.” A few months later, while the suit was 6till pending, Watson was again in York. Hie met his railroad friend again and was asked: “Well, lately?” “Not that I know of,” said hoe.

A gay party of eleven young people start- ed in a wagon from near Sturgeon at 2 o'clock yesterday morning for Rocheport to attend a camp-meeting in progress at that Place. Several of the young men in the Party carried pistols and were playfully Nourishing them to intimidate the girls. They had nearly reached Rocheport and day was breaking. Suddenly there was a flash and a loud re. port, Miss Riggs flung her hands to her breast and shrieked. Miss MecAlaster also uttered a piercing scream, for she held a emoking revolver in her hand.

It contained $100,000 in actual money—biils of no ordinary denomination. “He was sent from New York to Colum.- bus and was authorized to give you that amount in cold cash to withdraw the suit against the Standard Oil Co. |The If that was} not enough he was authorized to give you! 48s much more as you might want.” All this brought back to Watson events of an afternoon in his office here, The lawyer had called informally, put down a valise with an apology about “stop- ping Over between trains,” had about wealth and politics and then about the Standard Oil suit. Watson was asked if “anything could be done,”’ and he answered. “No.” The visitor seemed regretful, changed the subject, and, picking up his valise, went out, At that time Charles Foster was interested with the Standard Oil Co. in the western oll and gas fields. He was also in- terested in the affairs of this nation. as Sec- retary of the Treasury in the Cabinet of President Harrison. Foster undertook to have Watson with- draw the suit, but did it wisely and dip- lomatically. His plan was to give Watson a place abroad. In this way it was supposed Watson could be got out of office before the suit was brought to trial, and the Standard could ar- range with his successor to with iraw the case. He refused to resign the office. At the request of McKinley, in 1894 Wat. s0n made the race for Congress in the Columbus district and was elected, al- though it was considered reliably Demo- cratic.

HIS ERRATIC Public Expressions on Delicate Diplomatic Subjects Kept the Government in Hot Water. JUDGE DAY TO TAKE CHARGE. Important Information to Be Kept From the Secretary and Messages to Be Censored. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11.—Wm, R. Day, First Assistant Secretary of State, will return here immediately and assume per- sonal supervision over the department of which he has been for some time the prac- tical head. He will sacrifice h!s vacation at the request of President McKinley The chaotic condition of affairs in the De- partment of State has reached such ser'ous proportions as to cause grave apprehensions to the Administration. While Judge Day was away Secretary Sherman, unexpectedly and greatly to the perturbation of his returned to this city at the expiration of a fortnight, and sa‘d that he would take no additional vVacat'on during the summer. beginning with the Post-Dispatch repre- sentative, who accompanied him from Ama- gansett, he gave through the public press a series of interviews on all the diplomatic questions supposed to be in abeyance. He discussed the overthrow of the monarchy in Spain and the establishment of a re- public; warned the Japanese that their war- ships might never geet any further than the bottom of the harbor of Honolulu: served notice on Great Brita!n that she would be checked in attempting to assume guardian- associates, ‘ship over the seal fisheries and gold mines |of the great North- | Northwest, and declared in general terms that the Government of the United States would pureue its own policy despite the protests and opinions of all the other nations. 3 These utterances were patriotic, but in diplomatic circles were declared to be high- ly indiscreet. When these publications had attracted the attention of all Christendom and provoked much bitter criticism from the foreign press, Mr. Sherman gave a sweeping denial] and characterized the interv.ews, without exception, as manufactured. Now comes the request for the speedy re- turn of Day, who will try to prevent the giving of further affront to foreign na- tions. Every possible precaution has been taken of late to keep Secretary Sherman from ob- taining intelligence, the publication of which might prove detrimental to the Govern- ment and department. Instructions have been given that al! cablegrams and messages addressed ‘‘Sher- man” shall be delivered to W. H. Michael, chief clerk, instead of being sent to Sher- man's residence. Senator Sherman has had sensational {n- terviews with the Portuguese, Spanish and Nicaraguan Ministers. His lack of discretion has become more noticeable, even than his forgetfulness, though the latter is pitiable indeed. When informed of the death of Premier Canovas he inquired as to his identity and position; when asked what action Was being taken regarding the protes:i of the Nicara- guan Government against the acceplance of Capt. Merry, he said that he had never be- fore heard of Capt. Merry. Not long ago he desired to be given the name of the as- State during his absence. - The denials given by Secretary Sherman to the interviews had with him since his re- turn from Amagansett largely lose their ef- fect from the fact that in almost every in- stance the sensational utterances were made in the presence of witnesses AE, TUOHY S REMOVED, Notice Served on St. Patrick’s Pastor by Vicar General Mueblsiepen. —_—-+——— WARNED: TO. KEEP SILENT. The Vicar General Acted as Ad- ministrator in the Absence of Archbishop Kain. ACTION A GENERAL SURPRISE. It Was Thought the Prosecution of the Priest Had Ceased When the Archbish- op Left Town. Rev. J. T. Tuohy, pastor of St. Patrick’s Church, has been removed. Notice was ferved on him Wednesday afternoon by Vicar-General Muehlsiepen, acting administrator of the diocese. Word was sent to Fr. Tuohy to appear Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Vicar General’s residence and hear the sentence of the Investigating Committee. The Vicar General signed this communi- cation as judge delegate, aithough while the body was in session, its unofficial character was strongly advertised. In the body of the communication the judge delegate referred Fr. Tuohy to a passage in the decree of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore—the church law of the diocese—warning priests against giving pub- licity to ecclesiastical affairs. It was an intimation to the priest to take his medicine and keep quiet. News of the removal comes as a general surprise, It was thought when Archbfshop Kain sailed for Europe without pronouncing sen- tence that Fr. Tuohy had won his case be- fore the Investigating Committee and that the matter would be let drop. Once the Archbishop left the diocese the canonists reckoned that he could not com- pass the removal during his absence, ae, he has no jurisdiction beyond the confines of his see. They reckoned without their host. No one —_———_— --— THE WEATHER FORECAST. POST-DISPATCH THERMOMETER. (On the sidewalk, in the sbade.) 78 FAIR AND WARMER.

Word came from Wilderman Statian that a band of strikers had held up an Illinois Central freight train and would not let it proceed. Sheriff Philip Rhein was appealed to. At 6 o’clock he sent Peter Jaffray out to sum- mon a posse. Not many men were on the streets. Wherever they were found, whether on |} the'r way to catch early trains or going to work, they were commanded to report at once at the sheriff's office. At 6:30 forty men had responded to the imperative summons, Preparations were in progress to start for Wilderman when word came that the train had been released and the posse was not needed. Sheriff Rhein told the men they were not needed, but warned them that he would probably need them later, The summoning of the posse was the cll- max of a night of excitement. About 300 strikers met in the West End at dusk Tuesday night and marched out to- ward Walnut Hill Cemetery. This was a ruse to Make the authorities ; believe they were going to walk to Mur- | physboro. Near the cemetery they broke} ranks and crept back into the Lilinois Cen- tral yards. They concealed themselves until the south-bound fast freight pulled into the yard at 9:20. Before it stopped they darted out of the shadows and scattered all over the train. Some lay flat on top of the box cars, others got on the trucks aftér the train stopped. All tried to conceal themselves, but they had been seen. A score of Belleville’s prettiest society girls will give orders somewhat after this fasnion when they retire on the night of August 19. Friday, August 2, is not down on thelr calendars for a picnic nor a hay-ride nor any other trivial thing. They will take a turn at corraling nimble nickel. They are to have charge of the street cars and expect to stack up coin so fast in the name of sweet charity that it will not be necessary to have a donation party for at least a year. They are the young ladies of the Presby- terian Church. They have an organization which looks after the needs of the poor in the winter. It held a meeting the other day. They had been talking an hour or two about the weather, with particular respect to its August aspect. There was a pause. ‘Winter is coming,”’ purred a thoughtful maid. as she drew cold comfort through a Straw. The others thought she meant the ob- servation as a solace. ‘ , “Yes,”’ they groaned in chorus, “but it's long way. off.”’ * ‘“‘And the treasury is about empty, tinued the thoughtful maid. “Oh-h!"" chorused the others, Then these charitable young ladies forgot lI about the heat, as they put their pret- j l the ia | cone- ty heads together and planned how they should raise the wind. The suggestions were many. All the ar- which money has ever been out of masculine pockets for the the cause were discussed. But it that they had all been done t'fices by coaxed good of Was agreed to death. ‘‘Let’s be stréet car conductors,” cried the most daring of the earnest bevy. There was a chorus of exclamations. A few were shocked, The rest were delighted. ‘But how?” they asked. The girl who reads the papers told the rest all about it, arid the timid ones got over their shock. Tuesday night there was a conference with the manager of the Electric Railway Co. He mentioned the terms on which the cars would be turned over to the ladies for an evening. “An revening!” they exclaimed. “Why, we want them all day.” ’ And so it was arranged. The terms were agreed on. The whole system will be turned over to the fair ones for a whole day. That is why a score of Belleville’s pret- tiest girls will get up at peep o’ day Friday morning, August 20. And that is why the travel over the Belleville electric line will be heavier than ever before. Each motor car will carry a trailer. There will be a separate conductor in charge of each car. Having only a limited number of cars and not desiring to have them smashed, the officials insisted that their tried and trusted motorneers manipulate the cranks, and the ladies consented to depend upon the men to that extent. But all the regular conduc- tors will have a day off, and the passengers will ‘“‘move up in front’ at the musical com- rmano of pretty society giris. The list of conductors is not completed vet. Some who were anxious to distinguish themselves in a new sphere when the pro- ject was first discussed, are becoming timid as the time approaches, and it ts feared it will not be easy to get the required number with the requisite prettiness and dexterity in making change, to say nothing of sub- duing unruly passengers and assisting fee- ble young men to alight.

Sheriff Rhein and Deputies Barnickol and Burke reached the depot about the same time the Mayor did. The sheriff said he could do nothing untll the municipal authorities had exhausted their resources. Mr. Heid:nger demanded protection from Mavor Winkler. The Mayor went to the Police Station and had the not call sounded on the Market Square fire bell. Ths was the signal for the policemen to report at once from the nearest box. As fast as they did so they were ordered to the depot. In a few minutes they were all on the spot. Headed by the Mayor they searched the train and ordered. the strikers off. The trespassers sullenly obeyed. he train was backed up. The strikers followed it and when it started ahead a great many climbed on it again. The train was stopped again. Seven or eight times th!s was repeated. Once the train was backed beyond the bridge across Richland Creek. But each time some strikers managed to get on. They lay flat on top of the box cars, but were always discovered by a railroad em- ploye who was perched on the iron ladder at the signal station, and the train each time was called back. The men were tn an uglier mood than when they held up a train two weeks be- fore. Threats were freely made and epi- thets were hurled at the railroad employés and the police. About 11 o'clock seven policemen an4 Deputy Burke were scattered along the train. They were promised that they would be let off beyond the water tank. The train backed up once more. Only a few strikers got on the cars, but four jumped on the pilot while the engine was backing. A good start was obtained and the train went past a station at a rate of twenty miles an our.

Sniff Tells How He Was Taken to the Calaboose and Finally Got His Liberty. It is a merry, merry war between the un- licensed bicycle riders and the police.

In this way Commissioner Kalbfell. hop to eollect about $12,000 on 12,000 unlfo® wheels in St. Louts. Neariy half a hundred arreste were mado Tuesday night, most of them in the western portion of the city. . It may be a merry war, but the policemen are not having a merry time carryirmg out thelr orders. Those who do the laughing are the people on the street corners who witness the discomfiture of the coppers. The average policeman is great on digni- ty. He gets his dignity with his star and club. If anything cute him fo the quick it is to have his dignity hurt. And the dig- nity of every policeman put out to catch unlicensed bicycles was hurt many times Tuesday afternoon and evening. There were many amusing scenes enacted Wednesday morning. Not satisfied with their work Tuesday police were again sta- tioned at the street intersections in the West End Wednesday morning. They were there early to catch the riders bound for their places of business. At some of the intersections small crowds gathered, and every time a bicyclist out- witted or slipped away from the policeman the crowd enjoyed it. One of the buajest corners was Jefferson avenue and Locust street. The policeman stationed there had a large contract on his hands. Three bicyclists, came along, riding abreast, north on Jefferson avenue. They intended to turn into Locust, and the officer got to the middle of the crossing to intercept them. They saw h and evidently knew his purpose. Instea@ of turning tn Locust they put a little strength into thelr legs, scorched over to the west side of the avenue and raced north. The policeman rapped on the street paving with his club and called on the bicyclists to come back. They humped uwuheir backs and were soon out of sight. One rider turned from the avenue into Locust street. He wore golf hose and a cycling sult. Just as the policeman reached out to grasp the wheelman’s shoulder the bicyclist spurted and was ten feet away. The wheelman made a complete circie around the officer and sprinted west on Lo- cust street. As he rode off he turned his head. He put his thumb to his nose and wiggled his fingers at the policeman. The crowd iooking on cheered = and laughed at the officer. But that wheelman had made him mad. It wasn't because of the escape, for so many of those had been made that the officer was accustomed to them. But that wheelman had put his thumb to his nose and wiggled his fingers. For the t'me the chase for delinquent b)i- cycle ridera was given up. The policeman wanted revenge. He went to the telephone box and called up a policeman further out the street. He gave his brother officer a description of the rider and begged him to arrest him. He had the satisfaction later of learning that the rider who wiggled his fingers had been caught. One old trick was worked by many riders on every policeman engaged in. the work, and the officer at Jefferson avenue and L»o- cust street never tumbled to it until a dozen men had tried dt on him. As the riders came down the "street the cop would get out to stop them. The rider pelnbel behind and told him the tag waa under the seat. The @oliceman permitted these men to pass in order to get a rear view of them. They had no tags, But had passed him and were out of reach. Many riders claimed that they had taken out Heenses, but had neglected to put the tags on thelr wheels, Three of the wheel- men claimed to have left their tags at home and they were paroled by the officer. They turned beck. got their tags and returning showed them to the officer At Channing avenue and Locust, at Grand and Lindell avenues and at Garrtson and Pine the offleers Were stopping ridere an furnishing just as much fun to the crowd as the people were getting at Jefferson and Locust hey made about twenty-five ar- rests Tuesday night and as many more Wednesday morning. The license collector has accomplished his object. The riders have been stirred up by the arresta and many of them are paving the tax. As a rule bicyclists do not object to the tax and are mot seeking to avoid ita pay- ment. They agreed to pay the tax in if the money derived from it would be spent in street tmprovements and ina cycle path in Forest Park.

The police say they will make arrests as long as the law is not complied with. They stopped no lady riders Tuesday, but Wednesday afternoon they will look for the tags on all wheels, regardless of the sex of their riders. DAD WOMEN ARRESTED They Gave the Officers Trouble and Attracted a Crowd. LT Patrolmen Finan and Bunting made a raid on the streetwaikers Tuesday night, and in consequence the docket of the First District Police Court bore the names Wednesday of two score Mamies, Mauds and Pearls. The patrolmen say they had as much excitement ae cowboys at a round-up of fractious cat- e, On Twelfth and St. Charles streets they arrested Mamie Dean, Mamie Smith and Julia Cohen, three of the worst negro panel workers and thieves in the city. Leaving these in charge of another patrolman to wait for the wagon Finan and Bunting strolled off towards Pine street. At Thir- teenth street the heard the sounds of a bat- tle in a saloon @n the northeast corner, where Nettie Mason, Maggie Scott and Belle Hopkins were endeavoring to wreck the furniture. They were roaring drunk, and had been twice ejected by the bartender after a Vicious fight. The patrolimen arrested the women and took them across the street to the patrol box. While waiting for the wagon the women shrieked and cursed at the top of their voices, creating a din that attracted hundreds of spectators. The uproar was BO great that it was heard by Assistant Chief Kiely at the Four Courts, who or- dered Detectives Walsh and Gaffney to in- vestigate. The women were finally landed In the pa- trol wagon, bul all the way down to the Four Courts they struggled with the officers in an effort to escape. he Mason woman made a grab for the lighted lamp at the side of the wagon, which she attemfted to — Finan’s head, but she was overpow- ered, All the prisoners were arraigned on charges of roping.

Bradley a little. so far as Known there are no bodies of strik- ers marching on Coffeen from anywhere, al- though new men straggle into camp now and then, while others depart. The people here are not impressed with Bradley as a leader and are satisfied there is no danger of his leading any mob into Coffeen. If there is trouble it will be brought on by an act of some hot-headed individual among the strikers and it is not thought there is much danger of trouble at present. The Sheriff and deputies are stil] ~ guard and the mine is running as usual O-Gay. Gen, Bradley is refused admittance tnto the corporation, as is likewise his followers. Two of the strikers came in this morning on board a train, but were immediateiy marched out of town by armed deputies. ~ Gen. Bradley reached the strikers’ camp at9o clock this morning. He was seen soon after his arrival by the Post-Dispatch rep- resentative. Bradley said he intended to have a conference with the Mayor and Sher- iff this afternoon.

Charles Parsons Asks Judgment for $4,500 Against an Eastern Company. Holders of life insurance policies. will watch with interest the suit brought by Charles Parsons, president of the State Bank of St. Louts, against the Massachu- setts Benefit Association. Mr. Parsons asks judgment against company for $4,500, the. amount paid as premiums on a $10,000 policy. He alleges a breach of contract. Mr. Parsons took out a policy in. the Western Union Mutual Life and Accident Society on June 12, 1883. He paid $85.32 as an advance premium and was to pay $20 on upon to do so. His contract with the com- pany’s expenses. In addition he was to pay $25.32 whenever a member died, if called upon to do so. His contract writ the com- pany set forth that when a member died he was to be notified by mall of the name, residence and cause of death of the de- ceased and the names of witnesses and that the assessment should be payable thirty days after the notification. When the con- tingent fund contained a stipulated amount equal to $60.64 to each member no asseé6s- ment for death benefits was to be levied. On March 24, 1891, the Western Union Life and Accident Society was absorbed by the Massachusetts Benefit Association, which, according to Mr. Parsons’ petition, agreed to carry out all the provisions of his policy. On January 1, 1897, the Massachusetts Benefit Association called on Mr. Parsons for $322.9, which it said was due for sixty death assessments. Mr. Parsons says the company did not furnish him the names of the deceased. members on whose account he Was assessed. the | | | | | meee. eee en He consulted insurance experts and found | that the assessment was not based on the rate stipulated in his policy, but that it was | based on his age at the time of his as- sessment.

Later he was notified by a circular letter, signed by the President of the company, that the company could not be bound by the original contraci, and that he would bave to pay an assessment based on the death rate at his age, with 100 per cent added to cover contingencies.

HAS Under Obligations to Hunting- ton and Refuses to Obey the Instructions of Congress. Special to the Post-Dispatch WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11.—Califor- nians here in Washington are greatly worked up over the continued refusal of Secretary Alger to carry out the instruc- tions of Congress in the construction of the deep water harbor at San Pedro. Congress has appropriated $2,900,000 with explicit instructions to expend the money in accordance with the report of the com- mission which recommended the work at San Pedro. Senator White of California, who has been working in conjunction with inter- ested capitalists of St. Louis to secure an order from the Secretary of War for the work to begin, writes his friends that feeling on the coast is bitter against Secre- tary Alger and that as soon as Congress convenes again he will call the question up. It promises to become an Administra- tion scandal. It is charged that Secretary Alger owns great redwood forests in California, and that the Southern Pacific gives him most favorable rates. In return he fs standing by Collis P. Huntington, whose interests at Santa Monica are antagonistic to San Pedro: As St. Louls capitalists have fully $5,000,- 000 invested at San Pedro the matter is of vast importance to them. Col. R. C. Kerens has been working four months to induce the Secretary of War to carry out the instructions of Congress, but thus far he has failed to accomplish any- thing. BELLEVILLE SHERIFF BUSY.

In the meantime a second freight had come into the yard and the same perform- ance was repeated, After a few futile attempts to get rid of the strikers, it was ordered side-tracked. The police returned to their beats, but Sheriff Rhein and his deputies remained on the tracks until nearly daylight, when the strikers, seeing that no attempt would be made to move the train in the darkness, dispersed. When the first train reached Wilderman Station, after stopping to let the officers off, it was moving slowly. Fifty men who had left Belleville during the day were ly- ing in wait there. They all climbed on, The train was stopped. The men refused to get off. The cars were side-tracked and the conductor went to Freeburg on the en- gine. He reported the situation to Train Dispatcher J. J. Gaven. at Pinckneyville and received instructiong not to move the train, and to call upon the Sheriff for as- sistance. Agent Heidinger was notified and he called on the Sheriff. The second train pulled out of Belleville at 5 o’clock Wednesday morning. It car- ried the news to Wilderman that the sheriff was coming with a posse. Rather than have trouble the men released the train held at Wilderman and it, too, proceeded, This fact was telegraphed from Freeburg and the posse was dismissed. Agent Heidinger was not fied Wednesday that another band was waiting at New Ath- ens. He. expects trouble there also. It is not believed that the Belleville men will take possession of another tra‘n ins:de the city limits, but arrangements will be made to run all the freights through Wed- nesday night at high speed. The company was prosecuted a few: days ago for running a train through the city at greater speed than the law allows.

SPREAD TO THE WEST END. Dr. W. G. Moore Tells of the In- crease of Tonsilitis That Neighborhood, in DUE TO GERMS, NOT -COLD. Dr. Sutter Notes the Increase of City Patients and Holds the Trench Digging Responsible, ——_-— —_-—— —_ Conduit quinsy has increased its grip on St. Louts and is not expected to let go until cold weather comes and freezes the germs that have been released from underground. The Post-Dispatch told of this atrange iliness severa] weeks ago, when physicians, noting the increase of throat. troubles, sought to aseertain the reason therefor. At that time imterv'ews were published with doctors in which the prevailing In- flammation of the throat [ning Wag pro- nounced an infection caused by the mi- crobea which diggers of conduits had re- leased from the atree([s. An itnhivestigation by Post-Dispatch re- porters bore out this theory. Hundre:is of cases of acute tonsiiiti# were found in the distri¢ta of the city where conduits were being iaid or nad recently been constructed, whereas the sections of the city lying be- yond the district in which the d.ggers were at work was comparatively free from the infect on. It was then said that the Ulness would probably become general, as the germs spread {nroughout the city. Such. seems to be the case. A reporter for the Post-Dispatch visited the West End Wedneeday morning and also the City Hospital. The former district is beyond the conduit limits; the patients in the public institutions mostly come from that section of the city where trenches were cpen larg June and July. In both the West End and the beospital their number of pa- tients afflicted with throat trouble was greater than In any former year. ‘“Tonsilitis and quinsy are euch more revaient th's summer than usual," said Dr. W. G. Moore, S& Vandeventer place. “What causes the sickness?” the reporter asked. “Infection,” he replied. “Certain germs in the air lodge in the membranes of the throat and produce Inflammation. e¢ ma- jorfty Of persons believe tonsiJitis the re- sult of a cold or to accompany one, but such {is not s®; In fact, in not more than 9% per cent of the cases are colds to found, ‘Tonsillitis is as much a distinct disease as diphtheria and typhoid fever, and, like the latter two, is due to germs.” he new term, “‘condu:t quiney,” wae mentioned, and Dr. Moore was asked if he believed. the germs liberated by diggers in trenches were those which caused the in- fection. “IT am not prepared that they are not,"’ he replied. “T have heard the theory advanced. but it Is impos- sible to prove it. That the germs which cause tonsilitis are more prevalent this summer than others is evident, but who can eay where they came from?” “There have certainly been powerful gases liberated by conduit diggers, and several men working in trenches have been over- come. Rut I do not think that the same as which asphyxiates a person causes Fhroat Sarg P —e may | other germs berated that do, however. a Otto Sutter, Superintendent of the City Hospital, is more positive in his asser- tio na. “We have 15 per cent more cases of throat affliction under treatment this year than any previous summer, and I have noticed that most of the patients live in neighbor- hoods where condu‘ts have been dug,” sald e. “Since the appearance of the article on conduit qu'nsy in the Post-Dispatch, sev- eral physicians have spoken to me concern- ing it and the general opinion is that the illness ia due to germe berated from the and July. “At 1 the affiiction would sp?ead throughout the city. “Tt is not a dangerous annoying and i!rritating.

While the officials will not talk. it is learned that detachments of Cuban cavalry have been pouring into Matanzas from Santa Clara rrovince, and, according to some reports, Maj.-Gen. Francisco Carrillo, comman er of the Fourth army corps, and Brigadier-Gen- erals Rego and Monteaguedo are among the leaders of the invading forces. A concentra- tion upon the Santa Clara border of all the insurgent forces in Matanzas was ordered some days ago by Gen. Avelino Rosas, the insurgent commander of the province. In view of tihs rebel activity and the belief at the palace that Gen. Gomez or his lieu- tenant, Maj.-Gen. Carrillo, would attempt to make a demonstration against Havana City, large reinforcements of —— troops have been moved to the front from Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces. Gen. Weyler intended to establish his headquarters first in Matanzas City and then in Guines, Hav- ana Province, in case the Cubans should succeed in pushing their way through Ma- tanzas into Havana. A rumor reached this city last night that railroad traffic had been stopped on almost all the lines running through Matanzas Province. Excitement was added to by a later re- port that,Gen. Weyler had ordered the Mar- quis de Ahumada, the acting Governor-Gen- eral, to send as large a force of troops as could be spared to the vicinity _of Guines, near the border of Havana and Matanzas Province. Additional artillery was shipped last night to Guines. The present situation of Gen. Weyler ts similar to that of Marti- nez Campos, when he tried in December, 1895, to check the famous raid of Gomez and Maceo, and was compelled to fall back suc- cessively at Colona, Jeovelanos and Coliseo before the Cubans.

Not long ago the Post-Dispatch pub- lished the views of financiers, bankers, merchants and labor leaders in all parts of the country on the subject of the busi- ness situation and the outlook. Although there were discouraging words from some labor leaders, yet in the main the views were favorable toa return of better times, The great major. ity of the men whose opinions were sought testified to business improvement and pointed out conditions which they thought made Parther improvement in- evitable., Yesterday the Post-Dispatch presented the views of four of the leading business men of St. Louis. These men testify first, to the actual beginning of excep- tional activity in the wholesale business of St. Louis, and next, to faith, for which they give ample reasons, that this is a part of a general revival of prosperity. What the public wants is the truth about the situation. The Post-Dispatch endeavors to give the actual truth. Portunately, the truth in the main is pleasant and encouraging. It holds out the prospect of fair rewards for workers in all lines of industry. Relief from the pmmch of distress will be welcome, indeed. Oo ro If the streets of St. Louis were to re- ceive some of the attention given to find- ing places for ward workers they would be in much better condition, ae OO ee THE POOL-ROOMS MUST GO. The cause of public morality is but tem- porarily defeated. The vicious and de- moralizing pool-rooms will sooner or later have to go. Meanwhile it is the Guty of all good cit- izens to keep up the agitation against gambling dens and to do all in their pow. er to guard the young against their per- nicious influence. Public opinion must not rest in its condemnation of this and other menaces to the morals and well- being of the community until they are abolished, A number of citizens have called the pool-rooms public nulsances. According to Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, a nuisance is that which annoys or gives trouble and vexation. A nuisance js public when it annoys citizens in general, There can be no doubt that a majority of the citizens of St. Louis are annoyed and vexed by the continuance of gambling dens in the city. The pool-rooms are public nuisances, They are more. They are open mouths of hell. They incite young men to lying, embezzlement, robbery from employers and parents and sometimes murder or suicide, If the Supreme Court holds that the breeders’ law is unconstitutional, such @ law must be passed as will wipe out these plague. spots once for all. ——— -_—__- - —= When seven persons are found dying with hunger in Greater New York in one week, the increased greatness of the Breat city cannot be doubted. _ © — ERITY’S CAUSE.

They trace it to the wealth of the Which rewards the farmer's labors and through him extends to the small merchant, thence to the wholesale merchant, to the manufact- urer, to the laborer--through all the avenues of industry and commerce. It ia not from legislation, but from the product of labor and capital, that wealth and prosperity come, Legislation cannot add a dollar to the Wealth of the world. The best it can do is to protect the earn. the rewarda of their labor and to facilitate trade. The worst !t can do fs to restrict trade and interfere with the just distribution of wealth by taking it cilizen and giving it to an- PROSP is interesting coming sO, soil, ere in from one other. When the Government, under @ pre. tense of creating prosperity, gives one set of cilizens the privilege of levying tribute from other citizens it merely at- terypts to concentrate wealth in a few hands—it fosters monopoly and creates a plutocracy. — If Mayor Ziegenhein, when he was Collector, had collected what his oath bound him to collect, there would be less need of money for the city now. BRADY'S IMPOSITION. In response to the repeated requests of the Post-Dispatch for the names of St. Louisans who are backing Hugh J. Brady for the Election Commissionership, Gov. Stephens has supplie@ us with a partial list of the indorsements sent to Jefferson City. It is in line with the public duty which the Post-Dispatch feels bound to per- form in the cause of good government to show the Governor how grossly he has been Imposed upon, in the matter of these indorsements, by this unfit candidate for an office of honor and trust. This duty shall be performed. Gov. Stephens ought to recognize that the unpleasant work the Post-Dispatch is doing in order to show him the utter un- fitness and unworthiness of Brady for the office he seeks, is as much in his in- terest and in the interest of the Demo- cratic party of this city as it is in the interest of the public. The appointment of bad men to office—especially to such an office as that sioner—is not only an outrage public, but an injury to the Executive who makes the appointment and to the party he represents. —————— Se A According to ex-Gov.

At the meeting of the American Assocl- ation for the Advancement of Science at Detroit, Prof. Richard T. Colburn called attention to a work that Science can per- form which is more important than any work it has hitherto accomplished. That work is to make civilization symmetrical and orderly; to do away with the defects and shortcomings that are chiefly due to the “overlapping of the childhood of the world upon its adult stages.”’ While scientists have expended their life forces examining the nerves and an- tennae of useless insects, of attempting to weigh the stars, human misery has been increasing, and they have given no heed to it. Invention and industrial de- velopment have given rise to problems that demand the best intellect of the age for their solution, and the scientists have been silent. How to make civilization symmetrical; to rearrange the chief factors of modern life so as to make life worth living—that is them ost important work for Science. Will it accomplish that work? The vigor with which License Commis- sioner Kalbfell is enforcing the bicycle tax law properly suggests to a Post-Dis- patch correspondent the question, “Why does he not with the same vigor enforce the law against the owners of other classes of vehicles subject to tax?” The question is pertinent. The same law ap- plies to all. Why are the owners of un- licensed wheels alone arrested and rushed to jail in hoodlum wagons? Sure- ly all the owners of other licensed ve- hicles have not paid taxes. Why this discrimination against wheelmen? _—_-@e -Oo--—_—__—_——-—- The one drawback to our great Ameri- can joy over our large crop exports is the emphasis they give to our dependence upon European markets. We, perhaps, cannot have this year’s export demand next year, or possibly for a number of years. The present crop would be a fear- ful glut on the home market but for Europe's temporary necessities. St. Louls taxpayers think their taxes are high enough. It 1s easier for officials to increase the taxes than fpr the peo- ple to pay them. Possibly the tax dodg- ing habit of some wealthy citizens should be corrected, but most people are paying quite as much as they can. IN THE PUBLIV EYE. ~S ™ 7 JUSTICE STEPHEN J. FIELD.

INEXPERIENCED GIRL, St. Louis. Enforce the Law Impartially. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Mr. Kalbfell is proceeding very vigorously in enforcement of the laws against one class of vehicle owners. Why not enforce the laws against all? The same statute that lays a tax on bicycle owners lays it (with a few exceptions) on every other class of vehicle owners. It is well known that but very few owners of vehicles have paid outside of wheelmen, and while wheelmen are being arrested and driven to the calaboose in the “hurry wagon,’’ not even a& suggestion is made to other vehicle owners that have to pay their tax. As a wheelman and a tax payer who paid his tax promptly I would like to know from Mr. Kalbfell why he is thus partial in en- forcement of the laws. St. Louis, Aug. 11. JAMES RAMSEY.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—A recent report from Kansas City announced that the pack- ers of that place had advanced the price of dressed beef 1 cent a pound and of bacon ligc | per pound to their customers, and that the dealers threatened to make plans to butcher their own meats in future. The rise is at tributed to a new attempt at forming a beef trust. A reporter who visited the local rep- resentatives of the big Western packing- houses got no confirmation of the report. The actual fact is that a higher price for beef is being obtained than a year ago, and this seems to be due to the scarcity of cat- tle. The fact that the prominent packing- houses are all represented in the Manhattan market as competitors does not indicate a meat trust At the office of the Armour Can- ning Co., no news of the rumored deal had been heard. It was stated, however, that certain meats had been steadily rising for the last two or three months. During that time beef hams (hams cut round from the steer and smoked and cured) has risen from $18 to $20 to maximum price of $27. This was attributed entirely to a shortage in supply and no sudden forcing up of prices had been noticed. The manager of Nelson Morris & o. declared: “I can say positively that there is no combination among Western packers, nor has there been and very sudden advance in the price of meats. These rise and fall by market fluctuations as do all other commodities. That is all there is in it. “UNCLE TOMS” CHILDREN. A Number of Generous People Are Interested in Them.

RIVAL BANKERS’ ASSOCIATIONS. —_— oo el The National Body May Surrender to the State Organizations, NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—The warfare that has been going on between the American Bankers’ Association and the thirty-two State bankers’ associations throughout the country, is expected to lead to the surrender of the national body at its annual meeting in Detroit next week. The State association men have played a very shrewd game with their most distin- guished brethren. They threatened to or- ganize a rival nationa! bankers’ association which bid fair to outstrip the older organi- zation in numbers. That the national body did not care to give them a trial of its strength was clear from a resolution that has just been submitted to the executive council. It proposes an amendment of the constitution so as to give the State b dies a larger representation by providing that they shall elect fifteen out of thirty members of the executive council. The adoption of this resolution, which, it is said, is a foregone conclusion, at next week’s meeting, will, at the end of two years, give the control of the American Bankers’ Association to the thirty-two State associations, for after electing one-half of the executive council they will be allowed to turn in and help to elect the other half SEA OTTER HUNTERS.

The first was sent to the clerk’s desk by Delegate W. H. Judy, at the request of the Post-Dispatch. The other bill was Mr. Weeke’s measure, the same that was killed by being filed sev- eral months ago. In the Council there is an overwhelming sentiment in favor of such an ordinance as Mr. Judy offered, and there is no doubt or question about its final passage into a law. In the Council every member favors such a law. In the House of Delegates four or five members are non-committal. But they are expected to vote for the ordinancé. The two bills read Tuesday night are sim- jlar in all but two of their provisions—speed and penalty for violations. The Post-Dispatch bill Nmits the speed of bicycles to.eight miles an hour. This is in conformity with the general vehicle ordi- nance, which provides that vehicles shall not be driven at a epeed exceeding eight miles an hour, Mr, Weeke’s limit is ten miles an hour. Mr. Judy provides for fines of from $16 |to $50; Mr. Weeke from $25 to $100. After the Post-Dispatch bill had been passed to final reading many of the dele- gates said such a bill was an absolute neces- sity. Recent accidents have demonstrated the need of the law. In every case a collision between riders at night is due to the fact that neither wheel carried a light. These accidents have been so numerous and so serious that an overwhelming public sentiment in favor of an ordinance on the subject was created. As soon as the danger was pointed out many riders began to carry lights. Two weeks ago a bicycle light was seldom seen on the streets at night. Now a large prp- portion of bicyclists carry them. That jis Sec 2. Any person who shall not slacken the speed of such bicycle On the call of wards for the introduction of bills, Mr. Judy of the Second Ward said: “I introduce the following bill at the request of the Post-Dispatch:” An ordinance regulating the use of bicyoles in the city of St. Louis, as follows: Be !t ordained by the Municipal Assembly of the city of St. Louls, as follows: Sec. 1. That it shall hereafter be unlawful for any person to ride a bicycle or other like vehicle upon any street or public thoroughfare or in any public park rate of speed than elght miles an hour. in ap- on may be in the act of crossing, or in et car, or shall ride such bicycle go as to cause same to come in collision with or strike any other object or person, shall be Sec. 3. Any person riding a bicycle shall have a gong attached to same and carry a lighted lamp in front of bicycles at night. Sec. 4. Any of the provisions of this ordin&ance-are not to apply to bicycles rid- 12 years. Any person violating any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be ction therefor shall be fined not less than $15 nor more than $50 for each and every offense, Two ordinances, regulating the speed of, dents of any consequence the last few evenings. Careful bicyclists realize that there is safety inthe lamp. Pedestrians see it and So do wheel riders approaching from an op- posite direction, or from the side. With | the light the danger of night riding is mini- | mized. _ Every one admits the danger of lampless | night riding, danger to pedestrians at street crossings and to riders. There is no neces- sity for an argument on this point in the Council. The makers of the laws feel that the laws should give protection to the peo- ple. The bicycle bill will be pushed to a speedy enactment into a law. Bicycle riders are generally in favor of a regulating law. Of course the scorchers and the would-be fast men are opposed to it. They couldn’t scorch on the streets and would have to carry lamps at night. But these are in a great minority, and their vo ces will have little weight. Thursday evening the Associated Cycling Clubs will have a moonlight run to Schoen- laus Grove, and a festival out there. Sev- eral hundred wheelmen will make the run and some time during the evening a mass meeting of riders will be held at which some action will be taken on the light, bell and epeed ordinances introduced Tuesday night. Several members of the House of Delegates and the Street Superintendent will be present to hear what the bicyclists have to say. Among the bicycle speakers will be the Missouri Consul, Robert Holmp and D. W. Robert and Phil Haberman. Mr. Holm, occupying his official position, may be called the representative of the organized wheelmen. He is generally un- derstood to be in favor of a bicycle law. But he is opposed to what he calls an ignorant policeman construing that law and deciding off-hand whether a bicyclist is riding at a speed of eight and a quarter miles an hour or seven and three-quarters i why there have been no collisions or acdi- miles.

LETTER BOXES ON STREET CARS An Experiment Now Being Tried by Postal Authorities at Des Mcines. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—The Post-dffice Department has received a report from Des Moines, Io., where an experiment is being tried of having street letter boxes attached to all the street cars of the city, and a large share of the mall collection of the city taken up by them. The cars in Des Moines all run past the Post-office. They stop at all places to receive a letter Sr other mail matter, and as they come by the Post-office a carrier takes the mati from the boxes. During the month of July there were col- lected by this means in Des ‘Moines 29,237 letters, 6,069 cards and 441 pieces of second, third and fourth-class mail matter. It shows an increase of 1,300 pieces over June, and the Postmaster is of the opinion that owing to many cars run being open and no hoxes attached there was not so much col- lected by this means as there would have been if the cars were closed. If the ex- periment ia successful it will be tried in Mrs. Margaret Ferris, widow of the in- ventor of the Ferris wheel. Schiatter claims to have cured Mrs. Ferris, who was a cripgle. Monday he called on Mrs. Ferris at her home. He called again Tuesday. Mrs, Fer- ris denies that she consented to marry him. Schlatter says that he acted with her knowledge and consent. Schlatter says that the marriage will occur goon, although she time has not been fixed. Mrs. Ferris’ friends say that she is under Schlatter’s hypnotic influence, and should not be permitted to marry him. NEW GERMAN PAPERS, The Anzeiger and the Westliche-Post Have Afternoon Editions. The sharp rivalry between the Anzeiger des Westens and Westliche-Post has re- sulted in two brand new afternoon German papers for St. Louls. The Initial editions of each appeared Tuesday evening. The Anzeiger’s infant bears the name Abend Post, and that of the Westliche-Post is called after its parent. Both business and political reasons are said to be at the bottom of the two new enterprises, and those who have watched the war between the two German morning papers say that their afternoon editions romise to be as virile as the morning ssues. The Westliche-Post has soured on the Ziegenhein administration, while the An- zeiger, which is Democratic in politics, is friendly to the Mayor. WERE MARRIED IN FUN.

,' | - . { _WEDNESDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 11, 1897, a SPORTS OF FIGHT TO A FINISH —_————- —_»>--- -— That Is What the Fair Grounds and Pool-Room Men Will Have Now. WHAT AULL AND MURPHY SAY. The Supreme Court Judges to Be Asked -to Advance the Case on the Docket. The war between the down-town pool- rooms and the St. Louls Fair Association is now on in real earnest. It is not a loud war. Both sides are going along quietly. But it is certainly a war to the death. One or the other will have to quit doing business. On the one side there is the St. Louls Falr Grounds, which gives a living to thousands of people. On the other is the pool-rooms, out of which only a few gamblers derive a benefit, Not until to-day were the pool-rooms in general operation throughout the down-town district. The old Ullman room on Fourth street, Opposite the Planters’; the Hayden room, directly south of it, and the old Argo room, next door to the Hayden, threw open their doors to-day. A few doors south of the new room in the Bank of the Repubiic Building a new room has put out its shingle and it will depend on the overflow from the big room for its patronage. The Brooklyn on Olive street is still in full blast, and is now doing business in the old way ens without the assistance of the tele- system. eThe ofd Fitzgerald room on Eighth street as been turned into a clothing store, but he old Walsh room, directly opposite, has egain thrown its doors open to the public. he Van Studdiford and the Suburban rooms on Pine street and all the old alley rooms are again doing business. The room at Eighth and Locust, opposite he St. Nicholas, the old Mayer room on ust and the old Hambrick room on the game etreet are again in the saddle. With all these places open and chuck full of people “playing the horses,’’ the Fair As- sociation is bound to suffer a loss of patron- e. Dut early yesterday the Fair Association officials showed that they were not at all alarmed over the pee of the rooma, and that they intend ae their meeting to the end of the ninety days which the breeders’ bill law allows them. ‘irst Vice-President Aull of the Fair Association arrived home from the bast yesterday, and soon after his arrival he roduced evidence that the Fair Association ntended running out its ninety days by an- nouncing the following dates for its fal! Ftakes: The Isabella, Aug, 21, The Ozark, Aug. 2. The Crysanthemum, Sept. 4. Mr. Aull was in an unusually good humor and it could easily be seen that he bellevec he would have the pool-rooms closed before the time for the running off of these stakes had arrived. Mr. Aull refused to divulge his plans, but one of the gentlemen very close to him said: “The Fair Association has a card to pay which may surprise the pool-room folks. have it on the best of authority that their attorneys are now preparing the case for the Supreme Court and that as soon as it reaches that tribunal they will ask for its advancement on the docket. I am told strong pesasure will be brought to bear to bring about a speedy hearing on the appeal from the recent decision of Judge David Murphy. It will be shown that the opening of the pool-rooms in St. Louls will not only destroy the Fair Grounds property, but that it will ruin the breeders of thorough- breds in this State. On the ground of publie policy the Supreme Court will be asked to give the case a speedy hearing, and it may be advanced on the docket so that a verdict may be reached in -the next ten days. The Fair Association Directors believe the Supreme Court will decide the breeders’ bill law good law and they base their hopes on the fact that it resembles the New York law, which has already stood the test and been declared a good law by the Supreme Court of that State.”’ Secretary Joe Murphy of the Fair Asso- ciation said, when asked what position the Fair Association intended to take in refer- Ence to the suppression of the pool-rooms: ‘Our attorneys will be heard from in a d: r two. The opening of the pool-room§, owever, this time has not affected our at- tendance as much as it did this spring. The ate receipta prove this. This is probably ue to the fact that the weather is warmer now than it was then and more favorable to outdoor amusements. We are perfectly atisfied with yesterday's attendance. If it eeps up we will have no trouble in holding our own.” Senator Frank Stone, who drafted the riginal racing laws for Missouri, but who he nothing to do with the present racing w, which is known asthe “breeders’ bill,” Was seen this morning and asked: “Has the Supreme Court the right to ad- Wance a case on the docket?” “Most assuredly it has.’’ “Does it often do that sort of thing?’ “No, indeed. Generally all cases must take Rheir turn on the regular docket."’ ‘On the question of the appeal from Judge ate Murphy's court of the ease in which e declared the ‘breeders’ bill’’ uncon. etitutional, what action do you think the upreme Court will take, in the event of it ng asked to advance the case on the docket?” “I believe it will advance it. question of great public importance. It is one which affects the interests of the breeders of this State as well as the busi-: ness of the St. Louls Fair Grounds, one of this city’s public Institutions. hose facts being brought out, Court will advance the case on the docket Without a moment's hesitation.”’ “In the event of it advancing the case on the docket, how lone would it be before @ decision would be forthcoming?” “The whole matter could be disposed of fn less than a week's time.”’ “What do you think of the present breed- ers’ bill law? Do you believe it will stand the fire of the Supreme Court?” “T haven't read the law passed by the last Legislature and so cannot answer that ques- tion.

He Umpired the Game at Weehawken Sunday Without Interruption. John L. Sullivan, the greatest prize- fighter the world ever knew, made a hit as an umpire last Sunday. All New York says so and all New York ought to know. John’s debut was made on the field at Weehawken and the occasion was the meet- ing of the Ironsides of Newark and the Weehawken clubs. Promptly at 3:40 o’clock Sullivan walked out on the fleld wearing a soft cap and a loose-fitting bicycle shirt. The crowd, which numbered fully 4,000 persons, immedi- ately gave John L. a great cheer, and the famous ex-champion acknowledged the re- ception by doffing his cap. The Ironsides went to the bat first and Mills stepped to the plate. The second ball paced Mills hit, but although it was a foul Sullivan yelled one strike. Mills was just about to make a kick, but he realized that eg L. had a dangerous right and he kept still. As Bullivan judged the balls and strikes from behind the pitcher’s box a number of the batsmen hit balls which were fouls, ylayers never madea kick. Aside from this ulllvan judged balls and strikes very ac- curately, and the few close decisions which he had during the game he decided just rieht and the crowd cheered him after each. Sullivan never moved from the spot where he stood until the fourth inning, when Dietrick smashed a hot liner towards him. Sullivan nearly fell down in getting away from the ball, and when Dietrick reached first base John L. shook his right fist threateningly at him. This set the crowd laughing, and some of them yelled: “Give him a fight, Dietrick.’’ The latter thought that John L. was in earnest and ha turned pale as a ghost. Not once during the wame did any one of the players at- tempt to kick with Sullivan on account o% his decisions, and everything went along smoothly and peacefully. When the game was finished the crowd surrounded Sullivan, and it was after con- siderable trouble that he was able to get into his carriage and be driven out of the grounds. WHO ARE LOCAL CHAMPIONS? No Way of Determining That Base Ball Question Just Now. Who are the amateur champions of St. Louis in the base all line? That is a question often asked. But up to this writing no one has been able to give the proper answer. ing, signed Charles Hobson, says the Ma- roons are champions. In other words they are Hobson's choice. “ge: other clubs are also laying claim to the title. The A. B. C.'s, the Consumers, the Globes, the Fairs, the Jokerst-St. Gems, the Sport- ing News and even the Oberts of East Bt. Louts and the Clerks of Belleville, have in turn claimed the amateur championship of this neck of the woods. The Maroons are the latest claimant. As a matter of fact, however, none of these clwbs are strictly amateur. Nearly every one of them is playing ex- profess.onal players and that takes and all out of the amateur class. In his letter 4o morning Mr. Hobson wants to play Maroons against any and all of the other mute and he thinks his team can beat them. - Hobson's letter calls to mind the fact that there is no way of determining the ques- tion at issue, In Chicago and other large cities there is an amateur league and a regular series is played each year to decide the question of the amateur championship. In St. Louis there ts nothing of the kina Hobson's letter calls to mind the de. ficiency and suggests the formation of euch an organization and the establishment of a trophy, the possession of which would prove in real earnest which is the best amateur or seemi-professiona] ol around St. Lovis. ub in and Tuesday’s League Games.

OF ALASKA Alarm Caused by the Large Number of People at Dyea and on the Trail. MINERS LOOK FOR FAMINE. Thousands, Flocking to the Mines Without Sufficient Food for the Long Winter Ahead. DYEA, Alaska, Aug. 4, via Seattle, Wyo., Aug. 11.—The British steamers Islander and Gees have arrived with about 500 prospect- ors, which increases the number on the Dyea and Skaguay trails to fully 1,500. La- ter reports have come in to the effect that the Skaguay route is open to the lakes and that it is about forty-five miles long. It is a zig-zag course over the mountains and the road is very soft. There are 200 or 300 head of horses in tramp the road In a deplorable condition. The probability of one man tn ten reaching the Klondike is remote. Old Alaska pros- pectors, some of whom have wintered in the Yukon and know what to expect, are becoming frightened and turning back. Not that they’ fear the hardships, but that they are apprehensive of famine on account of so many men rushing headlong to the mines without enough provisions to last them two months. The best evidence that those upon the ground regard the situation with more or less alarm is the fact that many are paying 2 cents per pound to have freight packed across Dyea pass. This is an increase of 3 cents per pound since the sailing of the Alki, at which time 16 and 17 cents were charged. Twenty cents is the regular rate over the Dyea or Chilcoot pass route. This increase and exorbitant charge is due to a searcity of horses. Without pack ani- mals of some description it appears to be next to impossible at this season to get freights and outfits across the divide. BLISS ISSUES WARNING. Calls Attention to the Dangers of the Arctic Winter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11.—Secretary Bliss has issued the following warning to the general public: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. In view of information received at this Department that 2,000 persons with 2,000 tons of baggage and freight are now waiting at the entrance to White Pass, in Alaska, for an opportunity to cross the mountains to the Yukon River, and that many more are preparing to join them, I deem it proper to call the atten- tion of all who contemplate making that trip to the exposure, privation, suffer- ing and danger incident thereto at this advanced period of the season, even if they should succeed in crossing the mountains. To reach Dawson City, when over the Pass, 700 miles of difficult navi- gation of the Yukon River, without adequate means of transportation, will still be before them, and it is doubtful if the journey can be completed before the river is closed by ice. I am moved to draw public notice to these conditions by the gravity of the possible consequences to people detained in the mountainous wilderness during five or six months of an Arctic winter, where no relief can reach them, how- ever, great the need.

Zimmerman, the champion, will be here and little professionals who are coming on to take part in the meet. The U. W. C. promise to crack a record on to their meet is concerned. Up to date they have received seventy entries with many more to hear from. The professional list {s a good one, in- cluding the Coburns, L. D. Cabanne, Harry Crow, E. E. Anderson, Bert Harding, E. D. McKeon, C. C. Ingraham, Dixon, IIL; F. C. Shrein, Ernest Stade, E. C. Schultz, Grand Rapids, Mich., and several others. In the amateur list all the local men have entered. In the two-mile handicap there will be forty-three entries. It closed last night with that number of nominations in the box. The U. W. C. has been fortunate in se- curing the services of H. D. Handford as starter for its races. Handford, it will be remembered, served in this capacity at the champlionshi races which took place in Chicago during the World's Fair. The prizes for the amateur events have already been purchased and will be on ex- hibition. All the riders are training hard and some record-breaking finishes may be looked for. The track at South Side is getting better every day and with fair weather it should on Saturday afternoon be lightning fast.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—There appears to be no end of wrangling on the ball field this season. When the players are not object- ing in loud and uncouth language to the de- cisions of the umpires they are fighting among themselves. At Eastern Park Mon- day the season's record of sCTaps was aug- mented by an exhibition by Jack Doyle and Joe Corbett of the Baltimores, which was not down on the programme and which was not at all edifying to those who had paid their money to see a game between the oe and the Brooklyns cleanly Doyle undoubtedly felt in high feather be- cause of his late assault on Lynch, the umpire, who is now nursing a black eye as blow delivered by the Oriole first baseman on the field in Boston. He began an argument with Cor- bett, and then followed a scene unparalleled Brookiyn ' B Louisville - : 8 conte aome of those pennent hunters to tall BP Be ee ere “ , 9 os SSE eae ee Rg ae 4 mr tee Ry a. o=— abe, > | 4 ee lee i ied etreet—Walsh's old stand. on the field in recent years. Corbett com- pletely lost his head so fierce was Doyle's t.rade, and threw the ball into the grand Stand. Then he walked off the field, put on his street clothes and rushed from the grounds. It was in the third inning, with the score 6to0in favor of the Baltimores. They had knocked Kennedy out of the box. Manager Barnie substituted Dunn. The Brooklyns began by getting several scratch hits off Corbett, with two errors, entirely inexcus- able, gave them six runs, tieing the score. Once Doyle delayed the game and spoke to Corbett. It was plain that he was speaking in anything but pleasant words.. AS soon as the score was tied Doyle rushed over to the itcher’s box, gesticulating wildly. Sudden- y Corbett threw the ball to the stand, and off the field he went, while Doyle stood and rinned. Two runs came in as a result of -Orbett’s action. This occurrence com- pletely demoralized the Oriole forces, and al- though Nops was substituted the Brooklyns secured an easy victory. At the Brooklyn, 814 Olive, you will find most liberal odds on racing events. * ° © ee ce -_-— — - > Shooting at Du Pont Park.

He makes this extension of the offer because so many patients were unable to see him during the last few days of July. All those beginning or renewing treatment before Septem; ber 1 will be entitled to these low monthly fees until they are cured. This, however, is positively the last extension under the old rates. The of- fer will not under any circumstances be again extended or renewed. His Hearing Restored. Mr. Benjamin M. Lawrence, 2020 Market street, mantel and tile setter, with T. J. Foy, 194 Washington avenue: “Deaf- ness came on as the result of the grip four years ago. I realized I was growing hard of hearing by being compelled to ask ‘What,’ and have people repeat to me to make me understand. My right ear was most deaf. I would feel as though it wae full of water it used to feel when I went in swimming and got water in my ears. “As a result of the Copeland treatment My Hearing Came Back And is now perfect. I can hear my watch tick when I hold it at an arm’s length from my ear. Before I wag treated I could not hear a watch tick in the right ear at all. “T had good reason to believe in the Cope- land physicians before I went to them, “Two of my friends, Thomas Hig- gins, the builder and contractor, and Alex. Johnson, the foreman of Herman Bros.’ quarry, had been cured by these physicians, and so I knew of their skill. “T used to be with Louis Ruckert, who had an office in the Odd Fellows’ Building, and as every day I would see crowds of people going into the Copeland office, I had good reason to believe that doctors who had such a great practice certainly would do a great deal of good.”’ as Deaf Nine Years. Hearing Restored. Noises Cured. William Deiken, 109 South Fif- teenth street, testifies to Doctor Copeland's skill in curing deafness. ‘‘Nine years ago deafness began in my left ear and finally the ear betame stone deaf. There was @ constant buzzing sound in my head that annoyed me terribly and disturbed m sleep. I read of the wonderful cures of deaf- ness that Dr. Copeland was performing and placed myself under his treatment. i am thankful that I did so. “My hearing is restored. When I say that my hearing is entirely re- stored I mean that an ear that was stone deaf, an ear that could not re- ceive any sound, has been restored to its normal, natural condition. ‘To-day my hearing is as acute, as dell- cate and as perfect as it ever was in my life.’’ Pains Relieved; Discharges Stopped; Hearing Restored. “For months,” says Mr. Walter Francis of 2115 Franklin avenue, “I suffered from acute pains in my head and continual discharges from my left ear: The pain was 60 great that I could not sleep. I could scarcely attend to my business on account of my sufferings. My mind was distracted, and could not get relief until I took the New Treatment under Doctors Copeland and Thompson. “The wonderful skill of these phy- sicians has completely stopped th pains in my head, discharges from m ear have ceased and I can now hear as well as ever.” Was Stone Deaf.

Sometimes I would hear a kind of bursting noise in my ears like the explosion of a firecracker. I had to ask for a repeti- tion of nearly everything said to me. I Couldn’t Hear a watch tick; I couldn’t hear a train go thundering by, and could hardly catch the sound of its piercing whistle. “I am studying law, in which profession deafness would be an awful drawback. “The Copeland Treatment has per- fectly restored my hearing cnd the noises in my head have ceased. “In fact I am perfectly cured of the deaf- ness and most heartily commend the treat- ment, “Four months ago, when sitting very close to a person, couldn't hear ordinary conversational tones.

Doctors Copeland & Thompson; [had suffered with Catarrh of the Head and Throat for four or five vears and had a continual dull, heavy headache over my right eve. I had to be all the time clearing my throat of mucus. Finally there came a sote spot on my leftlung. It seemed to be about the size of a stlver dollar. Then | became alarmed, for my sister died with consumption caused from catarrh., I began taking vour treatment the first of last February, took four months’ treatment, and now I don’t. feel anv symptoms of Catarrh at all. Before I began | would blow great scabs from my nose. Semetimes thev would be so large they would make my nose bleed. They were perfectly green, and smelled so bad it made me sich. I don’t have anything like that now. In fact, | feel as well as | ever did in my IHife. Yours very truly, MRS. R. LASSW ELL. HOME TREATMENT BY MAIL.

Annie Rice, the ll-year-old child who was £0 badly burned in hot ashes at the foot of Spruce street, as told exclus'vely in Tuesday's Post-Dispatch, is at the City Hospital. Dr. Sutter thinks she will re- cover without losing either foot. Annie lives at Fifteenth street and St. Louis avenue. She had been across the river to see her aunt. She returned on the ferry boat and as she started up the Levee ehe ran across a bed of ashes. The surface had cooled and gave no hint of the bed of Iive coals beneath. Annie walked into the ashes. She was barefooted and the pain was intense. The boat's crew heard the child’s agonized screams and ran to her rescue. They carried her on the deck and put her feet in a bucket of cold wa- ter. This only aggravated the pain. At the City Hospital her feet and lezs were swatched in bandages saturated with lime fuice and linseed soil. This soon eased the pain. Though frightfully burned, Dr. Butter thinks she will be well in a few days. ABOUT A PAIR OF SHOES. Peter Pump Knocked Down by Suspi- cious William Luther.

THE METHOD OF A GREAT WHICH CURBD HIM AFTER EVERY- THING ELSE FAILED. The Houge May Be Reorganized If Speaker Lloyd Persists in Trying to Enforce the Mavor’s Wishes. The threatened revolt in the House of Del- egates against the dictation of Mayor Ziegenhein on legislation pertaining to pub- lic improvements came at Tuesday even- ing’s session. The Mayor had “read the mot act’’ to members for defeating a number of street improvement bilis at a former meeting and ordered his supporters, under the deader- ship of Speaker Lloyd, Mr. Coudrey and Mr. Hartman, to have the bills reconsidered and passed. The motion to reconsider the street bills was promptly opposed by Bersch, Lehman, Madera and others. The fight was sharp and bitter. All the delegates were in their seats and the administration lost. Those who were unwilling to bend to the party lash talked plainly. Mr. Bersch said he was sent to the Assembly to represent the people and not the Mayor or Board of the House special and sectional legislation —in short, that all the publ.c money shouid be spent in the West End. He thought the remainder of the town was entitied to re- ceive some of the benefits‘for their taxes, and he wanted it distinctly understood that when it came to lay.ng the administration lash on his back for pet measures, he would resent it by his vote and when the t.me case his peopie would resent it with their votes. Mr. Lehman said he had always been an administration Man because he ,.was a ioyal pariy man, but he did not mean for the administration to take it for granted it could drive him. He was in favor of pub- lic improvements for the whole city, and not for any particular section, and If the Mayor wished to carry out his ante-election promises he would do well to stand with him on that broad platform. Mr. Madera grew eloquently vindictive in resenting the ‘‘coercion of the adm/inistra- tion.”” He warned the administration and its champions that it ‘‘could not pop any whip over his back,” and make him do what he knew was neither fair nor just to the people he represented. He declared that four-fifths of the money for street improve- ments for the last ten years had been spent in the West End, and it was time to call & halt. Hartman, Robertson and Coudrey stood up for the administration. The four Democratic delegates stand with the administration for public improvements. One result of the bitter fight of last night is a rumor that the House will be reor- ganized and Speaker Lioyd relegated to the floor. If the revolution takes place it Is likely that neither Judy or Lehman will be the new Speaker. The Bersch, or anti-administration, fac- tion claims fifteen out oT the twenty-eight votes. The administration ‘counts on the four Democrats. As things stand, the Bersch faction ![n- cludes Bersch, Decker, Gutke, Helms, Hirth, Judy, King, Lehman, Madera, Willmore Schaefer, Schumacher, Wander, Willmore and Wittenberg. Total, 15. The administrationists are Speaker Lloyd, Members Coudrey, Debrodt, Hartman, Pauley, Ritter, Schuler, Watson and Weeke. Total, 9. The House decided last night that it did not wish to investigate the office of City Register Besch, and the committee ap- pointed for that purpose at a former meet- ing was discharged. The bill to confine disreputable houses to the district bounded by Chouteau avenue and Elm street and Third street and the river received only two votes. Mayor Ziegenhein was indignant Wednes- day at the manner in which the House of Delegates gave his administration a black eye Tuesday evening on the question of public improvements. He intimated strongly that several of the Delegates had acted in bad faith with him, and that while he did not welcome the issue forced on him he would make the recalci- trant delegates tired of the fight. “The charge that the proposed improve- nents are sectional,’ said the Mayor, “‘‘is absolutely untrue. My platform takes in the whole city, and I hold that when the people say they are willing to pay for im- provements and the Assembly refuses to vote the city’s pro rata it is false to the public interest. “It is all bosh to talk about the North and South End being neglected at the ex- South St. Louis are better than those in West St. Louls and the effort to stir up sec- tional lines in the House is unworthy of the man who do@s it. ‘T have sa!d that this city shall have pub- lic improvements, and it is going to have them.’ “If the Assembly will not pass the bills what are you going to do about it?’ was asked. “Do! angrily replied the Mayor. “] will show them what I! will do. I will find a way to carry out my policy and I defy op- position to ‘t.” President McMath was asked what he had to say to the charge of Delegates that the Board only sent down ordinances for the wealthy in the West End. “Any man who charges that the Board of Public Improvements is sectional or partial in thia matter simply lies,’’ said the Presi- dent. ‘‘There has never been a petition be- .fore the Board ask'ng for street improve- ments signed by W per cent of the property owners that was not promptly passed by the Board. Really, I do not think the Board has any right to refuse such a pe- tition.” The bills which have caused all] the trouDle and which the House refused Tueeday even- ing to reconsider are: Newstead avenue, between Maryland and McPherson avenues, cost to city $1,169, cost to property owners $5,556. Newstead avenue, between Westminster lace and Suburban Railway, cost to city Po. cost to property owners $12,977. Taylor avenue, between Easton and Bt.

End of the Raid on Gamesters at the Bavarian Society’s Merry-Making. 7 Fred A. Loomis, William Schilling and Hénry L. Schumerhorn, arrested Sunday by Detectives Kelly and Hatton, were to ap- pear in Judge Zimmerman’s Police Court Wednesday morning. Detectives Kelly and Hatton were on hand to prosecute the cases. The officers said they had a clear case of gambling against the defendants. Hatton had risked a quar. ter and won $2. Both saw money passed back and forth and bets paid as upon any small gambling venture. But the arrest of the gamblers displeased Mayor Ziegenhein. Assistant City Attorney Burgess had it In his mind from the start that the Ziegenhein side was the one to stand by. When the cases were called Burgess said: “If the court please, after a careful in- vestigation and examining all the evidence, I have decided to enter a nolle prosequi in these cases.’’ Burgess’ action was a surprise to both Kelly and Hatton. They were very much disgusted. ‘You can say for us,’’ said they, “that we have not been party to the proceeding that has been taken in this case, we were ready to go ahead and had our case made.”’ The president of the Bavarian Society was on hand to plead the case of the gamblers and felt gratified at his success in fixing the case. Burgess was asked after court adjourned by what process of reasoning he arrived at his conclusions. He said: “Tf the officers had given the matter a second thought they never would have made the arrest. The whole proceeding was a mistake. Why. even Commissioner Steu- ver did not want them arrested. He did not say so, of course, but it was plain from his ' conduct that he d‘d not want anything done. | It was a charitable affair and alla mistake, | so I thought the best thing to do was to drop it.’’ This ends the celebrated Concordia Park case in which Mayor Ziegenhein for the time deposed Chief Harrigan and took com- mand of’the police force in person. TUSSLE WITH A BRESNAHAN. Detective Guion Makes an Ar- rest After a Lively Fight. _- — Frank Bresnahan, a younger brother of Mike Bresnahan, the slayer of Carl Lohr- man, was arrested Tuesday afternoon at his sister’s home, 2208 Madison street, Dy Detective Guion, after a flerce fight, in which the criminal almost overcame the officer. Bresnahan is only 17 years old, but he has had a sufficient experience with the police to make him chary of the sight of an of- ficer and slippery enough to cause them much trouble. He and Harry Horracks were sent to the Boonville Reform School nearly two years ago for holding up Alex Wurster, manager of the Germania Theater, and robbing him of a gold watch. .He escaped from that in- stitut.on a short time ago, the poiice claim, but Bresnahan says he was paroled. He was arrested with his brother on Mon- day on suspicion of being implicated in the cutting of Lohrman. The police communi- cated with the Boonvlile authorities, but received no reply up to noon Tuesdav. er4 the prisoner was released. Shortly after- ward Chief Desmond received word to hold Bresnahan until an officer could be sent for him, and Detective Guion was sent out to rearrest him. Guion found the youth tin the front yard on Madison street. Bresnahan ran into the fhouse and locked the door. Gulon broke apen the door and as he entered the tricky youth gave “him the foot’ and tripped him to the floor. Gulon grabbed his man in falling and both rolled over on the floor. A lively struggle ensued, during which Bresnahan attempted to reach the detec- tive’s gun. ' The men rolled out of the room, across a smal! porch and down a short flight of steps to the yard, where Bresnahan broke away from the officer’s grasp and started to run, Guion drew his revolver and threatened to shoot him if he did not halt. The thief then submitted to arrest. Guion’s left little finger was severely sprained. Bresnahan will be kept in the Four Courts calaboose until an officer arrives from Boon- ville Wednesday night. HE WANTED TO LEAVE. Henry Ebenrick Was Glad to Get “Hours.” —- Henry Ebenrick, a young tough, without any permanent place of abode, was given permission by Judge Zimmerman Wednes- day morning to leave town. Ebenrick seemed especially anxious to get out of the jurisdiction of the $8t. Louis police for he made haste to enter a plea of guilty to the charge of living idly and asked that he be g.ven hours to ieave town. “How long wiil it take you to get out?’’ said Judge Zimmerman. ‘‘Two hours,’ said Henry. “What route will you go’?”’ ‘Iron Mountain.” ‘All right. I fine you $100 and stay the fine until] noon. If you are caught in town after that hour I wiil send you to the Work- Louse, “Yes, sir, thank you, sir,’ gaid Ebenrick, as he atarted away.

WOMEN WHO ARE “FIENDS.” Druggists and Physicians Dis- cuss the Use of the Drug in the “Bad Lands.” That more than one-half of the disreputa- ble women living on Chestnut street are vic- tims of the drug was brought to light by Health Commissioner Starkloff’s proposal to draft an ordinance restricting the sale of the poison. A tour-of the drug stores in the locality was made by a reporter. A druggist near the Union Station said that cocaine eating was mostly indulged in by the colored servants, men and women, in the disreputable houses, and that some of them used as much as 2% cents worth a day. That would be about 8 or 10 grains, enough to kill several persons not accustomed to the use of the drug. A clerk in the drug store at Jefferson avenue and Chestnut street said that every day women applied there for cocaine, but never got it except on a physician’s pre- scription. He said that many of the women AAD ON HUCKSTERS | _— Necessity for the Ordinance Dr. The Arrest of Thirty-Eight Driv- were being treated by doctors to overcome the habit, and from these doctors they re- | ce'ved many prescriptions, each contain.ng | enough cocaine to allay the patient's crav- ing. While under the influence of cocaine many women try to purchase more of the drug, there being a desire to eat more while under its influence. Dr. Edgar Thompson of 115 North Jeffer- eon avenue said he believed more than one- half of the women on Chestnut street were add'cted to the use of cocaine, while some | extreme cases used cocaine, morph'ne and chloral at the same time. He said there were few women in that district who did not have the scars-of hypodermic injections of morphine, while most of their eyes told of the excessive use of cocaine. He has had women patients beg him with tears in their eyes to give them cocaine to ease some pain and quiet their nerves. At many drug stores cocaine is sold as headache powders or perfumery are sold. All that is required is the price. But the doctor’s prescription and then keep a record of all sales.

POLICE ARE POOR HORSEMEN. _— Difficulty Experienced in Get- ting the Wagons to the Sta- tion-House by the Officers. Thirty-eight drivers of huckster wagons, milk wagons and ice wagons were arrested in the Sixth Police District Tuesday after- noon by Captain Campbell's policemen. They were arrested because they had failed to have their measures and scales attested and approved in a year. Inapector of Weights and Measures Lyons requested Capt. Campbell to make the arrests and Tuesday all patrolmen were instructed to stop all hucksters, milk men and ice men and inspect the measures and scales and if they had not been stamped within the year to arrest them, The arrest of an ice Wagon its no small job as accomplished by two officers Tues- day. Besides that there Were lots of trying times for the blue coats. Patrolmen Reeves and O’Brien saw what they believed to be a contraband ice wagon at Sarah street and Easton avenue, and as they approached it the ice men drove off and refused to stop when ordered. After chasing the heavy wagon a dozen blocks through muddy streets and tangled alleys O’Brien caught the horses and stopped them. Then the two men on the wagon tried to get away and he and Reeves had a fight with them. The men refused to drive the wagon to the police station, so O’Brien, who never handled a rein in his life, mounted the seat, while Reeves guard- ed the two men in the wagon. O’Brien was in a hurry to get to the sta- tion and back again, so he whipped up the horses and tore down a half-dozen street signs and young trees, besides frightening an old lady almost into hysterics. Milk wagons in plenty were captured and people along Easton avenue saw policemen driving all sorts of vehicles. One police- man, in driving a milk wagon to the sta- tion scattered the lacteal fluid from Euclid avenue to Deer street and another police- man distributed empty milk cans from Fin- ney and Taylor avenues to the station. But more hucksters were captured than anyone else. There were twenty-three venders of vegetables who Sacrificed the use of their wagons for a day and lost all the produce on them when Captured. When taken to the station the offenders would be searched and registered and then locked up until some friend would bail them out.
